SECOND WEEK REVIEW 1. Northern Lights MiSP #Z-9633 - (Arkell) 1716 W. Babcock - A Minor Site Plan Application to allow construction of a storage addition, re-build the upper deck and stairs, and add 5 new parking spaces. Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell presented the project, noting that it is a 736 square foot addition. Mr. Paysek commented there already exists a Wavier of Right to Protest for improvements to Babcock. He continued that there is a need for a similar Waiver for llth and 19th Streets, if they have not already been signed. Planner Arkell will check the old file. Mr. Sicz noted that he'd like to see curbing, gutters, and sidewalks in that area, however it is not possible at this time. Discussion ensued on fire safety factors. Mr. Garcia stated that the basement is not sprinklered. He explained that it was not required when the structure was built, but required after the building was completed. He did offer to sprinkler it at that time if the City would install the 4" main, as he had already paid for one water line to be installed. He noted the City did not take him up on his offer. Mr. Winn stated that he would make a site visit and check on existing conditions, then give his opinion at next week's DRC meeting. Mr. Forbes was asked if there is a street moratorium on Babcock, to which he responded affirmatively. He noted that the street can be cut if there is a fire safety issue. Chairperson Skelton noted that DRC will make the final decision on this project next week. Planner Arkell concurred.

INITIAL WEEK REVIEW 1. Aaker/Payne MPA #P-9614 - (Saunders) West of S. 19th, between Lincoln and Kagy A Master Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from "AS" to a combination of "R-4", "RO", and "B-2" on a 21.5289 acre tract of land. Assistant Planner Chris Saunders presented the project. He noted there is one stream and one stream/ditch. His concern is accessing Kagy. Mr. Forbes noted that there are no existing streets, therefore, one must refer to the Master Plan. Planner Saunders noted the applicant hasn't submitted an application for annexation at this time. He continued that annexation will be a condition for granting the zoning changes. Planner Saunders stated the area is about the size of the University Square property. Mr. Paysek inquired as to the nature of businesses expected to be in the area. Mr. Marks could not specify as it is too early in the process. Chairperson Skelton noted the businesses would have to conform to the B-2 zoning requirements. Mr. Sicz inquired about the projected traffic as it will be difficult to access South 19th without signalization. The Committee agreed that it would be difficult to do a traffic assessment before knowing the business-types that will be at the location. Mr. Paysek inquired where the water/sewer would tie into the City systems. Mr. Marks stated from Lincoln. Mr. Paysek noted that the lines aren't in yet, the City is waiting for Mr. Cook to install them as part of his project. Discussion ensued on the location of the existing mains and the size of them. Mr. Forbes noted there are some capacity problems with the sewer lines in that area. Mr. Paysek will check into those problems. Planner Saunders inquired if there is any talk of annexing the other parcel adjacent to it. Mr. Marks noted it will be 4 to 5 years. Discussion ensued that signalization is on the twenty year plan for Kagy and 19th. Discussion followed on roads/streets to be installed and signalization. Mr. Paysek noted that an extension of Remington Way to the west could provide an access for this property. Mr. Marks wants to discourage traffic from using the church's access. Mr. Forbes noted that the church was required to use Remington Way as a secondary access. Mr. Paysek inquired about the current use of the land. Mr. Marks noted it is undeveloped farm land. Discussion ensued on the streams/ditch and the requirement of a 310 permit. Planner Saunders discussed which stream is to be an open space as shown in the Master Plan. Mr. Marks noted some commercial zoning is needed in this location. Also more higher density housing close to MSU is needed for student housing. Mr. Sicz noted the need for curbing, gutters, and sidewalks on Kagy. Chairperson Skelton inquired of Mr. Marks about converting the zoning to B-1 instead of B-2. Mr. Marks stated that the 5000 square foot limitation isn't large enough for most stores, including hardware stores. Mr. Forbes noted that it would help the Main Street transportation circulation problem if there were a "real" grocery store, etc., in the area. Discussion ensued as to the feasibility of motels in that area and how MSU officials would feel about them. Mr. Sicz stated the plan looked appropriate to him. After the three simultaneous discussions concluded, Mr. Paysek noted that there is a need to red flag the sewer situation.

ONE WEEK REVIEW 1. Laden Major Subdivision Preapplication P-9617 - (Skelton) Intersection East Valley Center Road and Harper-Puckett Road A Major Subdivision Preapplication to subdivide 40.002 acres into 11 rural residential lots. Senior Planner Dave Skelton presented the project as FYI. He stated that it is 40 acres. Mr. Brawner sent his concern with Mr. Paysek about there being adequate traffic circulation. Mr. Forbes noted that if Gallatin County hasn't received right-of-way for either of the adjoining roads, this would be a good time to get it. He inquired if Sam Gianfrancisco had received these plans. Mr. Winn noted that Bret Waters of the Belgrade Fire Department may have some comments on the project. Mr. Woodward moved, Mr. Forbes seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Meeting adjourned.
