A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW 1, Bozeman Athletic Club CUP Z-9643 - (Saunders) 8601 Huffine Lane - A Conditional Use Permit Application to allow the construction of an athletic club on a 135 acre tract. Ileana Indreland, Mike Delaney, and Jeff Downhour joined DRC for the discussion of this project. Planner Chris Saunders reviewed the project. He noted that an application for annexation has been received. He continued that if the annexation is approved, then DRC will review the project to be sure it meets City standards. In the Staff Report, Planner Saunders noted the three conditions from the Planning Office: (1) Before Final approval will be given by the City, the applicant will be required to have written approval from the State for the septic system. (2) If the property is annexed DRC will have the opportunity to review proposal and property in question. (3) If project annexes, it will be subjected to impact fees. Interim Chairperson Arkell inquired if these conditions meet the applicants' needs. Mr. Delaney stated that they do. Mr. Hixson stated that he disagrees with making the interior streets private. The City needs to have east-west streets through that area. He reviewed the Staff conditions that are not boiler plate. (Complete text is on file at the Planning Office) (2) A Stormwater Drainage/Treatment and Grading Plan is needed. (3) Plans and Specs for any fire service line must be prepared in accordance with the City's Fire Service Line Policy. (4) Street and utility easements shall be granted for Ravalli Avenue, Babcock Street, Fallon Street, and Ferguson Avenue. Mr. Delaney inquired if the street could be curved. Mr. Hixson stated that it could. Mr. Delaney noted that they want a private street to keep out nuisance traffic. Ms. Indreland noted that the land will continue to be farmed until it is developed. Mr. Delaney continued that they don't want roads/streets through the development as they want an option to develop 1 a golf course around the complex. Mr. Hixson continued with his report. (6) The applicant shall provide and file with the County Clerk and Recorder's Office executed Waivers of Right to Protest Creation of SID's for street improvements. (13) If construction activities related to the project results in the disturbance of more than 5 acres of natural ground, an erosion/sediment control plan may be required. (16) The developer shall guarantee funding of a traffic signal, in a payback relationship, for a fair share of the total costs with other landowners in the area at the intersection of Ferguson and 191. Mr. Downhour asked for clarification on the streets. Mr. Hixson noted that the City is asking for easements except for Cottonwood, which will be required to be constructed. Mr. Sicz noted that the City is trying to avoid dead-ends like at MSU. Mr. Delaney drew a sketch and asked about having the streets meet in a circle around the club or the stream. Mr. Hixson noted that DRC is only looking at the proposed project. Mr. Delaney asked about the specifications in item #6 in regard to Fallon Street. He questioned installation of curbing, gutters, and sidewalks as they plan to have main street- wide sidewalks with parking on both sides of the sidewalks. Discussion ensued on the location of parking spaces and sidewalks. Planner Saunders noted that it would help if a concept plan came in with the final site plan. On item #16, Interim Chairperson Arkell noted that Valley Commons has contributed 1/2 of the cost of a traffic signal. Mr. Forbes noted that the conduit is laid for the signal. Mr. Hixson noted that the last two paragraphs of the Staff Report are FYI for the applicant. Mr. Sicz recommended to the applicants and DRC that the applicants' project be accessed from Cottonwood or Ferguson rather than Highway 191. He recommended no accesses from Highway 191 due to the heavy traffic and wait time involved for left turns. Mr. Forbes inquired if Planner Saunders had any comments from MDOT. He noted that an MDOT approval would be needed for an approach if the applicants plan to access from Highway 191. The traffic analysis submitted is not in accordance with impact fee guidelines. Planner Saunders noted that an impact fee independent study would be reviewed by in-house personnel in the Planning Office. Mr. Delaney inquired if any analysis has been done on the legality of impact fees when they would take access from Highway 191. Planner Saunders discussed and gave the applicant suggestions for getting the information. Mr. Winn noted that the project is under the jurisdiction of the Rae Fire Department. Mr. Tom Kingma submitted the following condition: The owner shall have all fire protection facilities and equipment approved by the Rae Fire Chief prior to final site plan approval. Interim Chairperson Arkell introduced Neil Poulsen, the new Chief Building Official. Mr. Hixson presented the condition from the Water/Sewer Department, which is to request review of the proposed infrastructure plan and profile to determine feasibility for future annexation and connection to City services. (Complete text of Staff Report is on file at the Planning Office.) 2 Mr. Delaney referred to Mr. Hixson's condition A, he inquired if the City can force them to grant easements for City streets in the County. Interim Chairperson Arkell noted that it is in the CUP code. Discussion ensued on City and County streets and roads in each others' jurisdictions. Interim Chairperson Arkell noted that this is a recommended condition to the Planning Board, which will also make a recommendation to City Commission. Mr. Winn moved, Mr. Sicz seconded, to recommend conditional approval to the Planning Board. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. 3 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW 2. Old Story Mill Pre-Ap P-9610 - (Arkell) Story Mill Road & Griffin Drive - A 5 lot Minor Subdivision of the Old Story Mill property. Mr. McCrone joined the DRC. Planner Debbie Arkell reviewed the project and noted that a pre-application is a trouble shooting review for the applicant. Mr. Paysek gave Engineering's Staff Report. (Complete text on file at the Planning Office.) He noted the necessary street, water, and sewer improvements; the need for traffic impact and geological/soils analysis studies; and a concern about the future failures of the tunnel that exists between the Mill and the west side of Story Mill Road. He also recommended that the next submittal be done by a qualified Civil Engineer who would provide all necessary infrastructure preliminary design drawings/data. Mr. McCrone inquired about the possibility of accessing the Story Mill/Boylan sewer. Mr. Paysek noted that may not be feasible. Mr. McCrone noted that the cause of the tunnel collapsing is debatable, but no one knows the cause. He noted a water line repair in the area that occurred several years ago and surmises that the leakage could have weakened the tunnel, causing a part of it to collapse. Mr. Paysek presented Mr. Woodward's conditions. (1) Location and size of existing and proposed water and sewer mains are not shown in approvable locations. (2) Water main extensions may not be required because of proposed 18" main relocations by the City of Bozeman to be started July 1, 1996. (3) Water and sewer feasibility study will be required for the preliminary plat application. Mr. Woodward noted to Mr. Paysek a concern that some of the proposed water/sewer mains appear to be under buildings, which is not acceptable. 4 Mr. Sicz noted that East Griffin Drive needs repair and widening. The applicant will need comments from the County Road Office on the bridge, which needs to be replaced. The applicant will need comments from MDOT on intersections with Griffin and Rouse and Bridger Drive and Story Mill. Mr. McCrone inquired about sewer extension and the process for applying for an SID. The Committee gave him guidelines. Mr. Forbes indicated the written request must state the nature of the improvements, the estimated cost, and the actual number of property owners who are interested in the improvements SID. Mr. Sicz noted a concern about the stockyards and parking during the livestock sales. He doesn't know how to address the parking problem. Mr. McCrone noted that people literally park in the street on Mondays during the sales, making the street impassable. He continued that he has visited with the stockyards owners on the problem. He doesn't want to impede the stockyards business. Discussion ensued on streets, signage, and future uses for the Mill. Mr. McCrone asked about the widening of Griffin - it is a major expense and others along the road would benefit. He would favor an SID for the road rather than he pay for the whole road. He also asked about impact fees. Planner Arkell suggested he make an appointment with Planner Saunders to find that information. Mr. Sicz noted that Mr. McCrone may want to visit with Mr. Gianfrancisco also. Mr. Albrecht noted that before Mr. McCrone takes this plan to the next stage, and since lot lines shown are between buildings, his department will need to know the occupancy of the buildings before the Building Department would approve it. Planner Arkell noted that the applicant would have to give usable water rights or cash-in-lieu of water to the City. Mr. McCrone noted that would be no problem. The Committee noted that Mr. McCrone would need to provide written easements for existing and proposed water and sewer mains. When asked what was the intended use for Lot 5, Mr. McCrone noted it is less than an acre and he wants to work with Gallatin Valley Land Trust and develop a trail through it. He is contemplating a PLI zoning. The trail is proposed for the north side of Story Mill Road and the old railroad bed has been given to GVLT for trails. Planner Arkell noted that if he proposes to change the zoning, it needs to be done before preliminary plat or DRC will look at the preliminary plat as BP zoning. Mr. Paysek noted that the curve on Hillside Lane is required to have a City standard curve - 150' curve radius. Discussion on roadways ensued. Mr. McCrone noted that he doesn't plan to use Hillside Lane for access as it doesn't warrant the traffic. Planner Arkell noted that she will summarize the comments and send them out to him. 5 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

SECOND WEEK REVIEW 1. Bozeman Creek Townhouses Concept PUD Z-9649 - (Patterson) Church Street & Cottonwood - A Planned Unit Development to build four 2-bedroom townhouses and 4 single family units. Planner Dean Patterson presented the project - near Peach and Church. Last week there was some confusion if there should be a subdivision application. The applicant has stated that it will not be subdivided. The project is for condos with an association. Planner Patterson noted that he has given comments from the last meeting to the applicant. The applicant has agreed to submit more materials by Thursday. Planner Patterson continued that service lines will be required to be installed and the applicant will be required to pay his share. He is concerned with parking along the alley and there may be a need for a deviation to park in the side yard. Mr. Sicz noted that the alley would have to be built and paved, as well as Church Street, to City standards. The applicant noted that he would like to have the street vacated. He also wants the City to vacate part of the 30' utility easement and he is willing to speak to the neighbors about it. Mr. Sicz noted that sometimes the area is flooded, especially during winter ice jams, and the City uses that area as an access to the creek to remove trees and debris. The creek will continue to freeze and flood. The applicant noted that he could raise the elevations a bit, but the buildings are beyond the 100 year flood line. Discussion ensued on access to the creek. Mr. Forbes noted that the easement could probably be vacated to 30' (15' for each property owner). The applicant asked how much of the street would need to be paved. Mr. Forbes and Mr. Sicz noted the requirement for paving would be from Peach to Cottonwood. Discussion ensued on the services available and the capacities. The applicant has a concern about the water main, but wants to investigate further. Planner Patterson noted that if the applicant wants to do his project before the City does the water/sewer improvements that are planned for late this summer and early fall, he would need to pay for them. The applicant asked if he would only be paying for services and not 6 improvements after the City installs the improvements. Mr. Forbes assured him that was so. Planner Arkell noted a need for a clarification of the legal description - are there lots or is it just one parcel. Discussion on lot lines ensued. The applicant asked if a yard could belong to each condo owner. Mr. Albrecht noted that with condos the land belongs to the homeowners association. Discussion ensued on alley requirements, deviations for access and parking in the alley and application for the alley. The applicant asked if the alley had to be paved. Planner Arkell confirmed that it would if publicly owned. Discussion ensued on vacating the alley. Mr. Sicz inquired about garbage. He noted that the trash enclosure needs to be built to the specifications of the garbage hauler, usually one hauler's specifications will not work for the other hauler. The applicant hadn't thought about that yet. Mr. Sicz recommended a dumpster near the street for access by the garbage truck. Chairperson Winn noted that a final decision will be made next week. 7 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, RUNE 4, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

Discussion on sewer progress. Planner Arkell noted that it seems logical to allow the expansion of the park as it is on his land. It provides a looped street system and eliminates a long dead-end. Planner Williams reviewed the prior staff report from a few years ago. Planner Arkell suggested contacting the Rae Fire Department. Ms. Finke asked how many trailers are proposed. Planner Williams noted 11 are proposed. Mr. Center commented on sewer connection and how they plan to construct it. It will be built in 200' segments, tested, and put into use.
