Initial Week Reviews 1. Bridger Blacksmith Planner Arkell explained that, at last review, DRC recommended the parking plan be redesigned and pointed out the new configuration and snow removal area. She said that Roger Sicz had voiced concern with the distance of the access from the interstate. She indicated that Lowell Springer remarked that the primary change in the submittal is the 40 foot right of way for Story Mill Road which has shifted everything to the south. Upon closer review of the plan, Planner Arkell noted that the new submittal does not show the 40 foot right of way as was conditioned by DRC. She remarked that she would check back with the applicants to see why this change was not made . Fred Shields confirmed with Planner Arkell that the project site is outside of city limits . Dave Skelton confirmed with Fred Shields that a 10" water main is proposed on Story Mill Road and that, if the developer wishes to annex the property in order to tap the Bridger Creek Subdivision extension, there would not be a problem. Craig Brawner confirmed with Planner Arkell that the applicant would create a drainfield for sewer and use an existing well for water. Craig Brawner verified the dimensions of the lot with Planner Arkell and suggested a condition that requires the applicant to obtain a septic permit prior to final site plan approval . Doug Hughes commented that a septic permit would be a requirement for issuance of the building permit . Planner Arkell showed the Committee Certificate of Survey 1518 and pointed out the center line of Story Mill Road. Phill Forbes asked if the applicant intends to dedicate the right of way and suggested the discrepancy between the submittal plan and COS 1518 1 be discussed with Sam Gianfrancisco. Planner Skelton commented that with two minor subdivisions coming with the Bridger Creek Subdivision, there would be an opportunity to ensure a 40, right of way. Planner Arkell remarked that the setback is typically taken from the right of way. 2 . Pre-Initial Review - Lucky Lil' s Casino Planner Skelton reviewed the proposal and explained that the DRC review would be moved back a week due to noticing requirements . He identified the variances for the CUP. He explained that the applicant would be relocating the ingress/egress slightly to the north and indicated that the project would tap into the existing water/sewer systems for Festival Square . Fred Shields questioned the availability of sewer to the subject lot . Planner Skelton pointed to both a 6' and an 8' line proposed on the north portion of the site . Phill Forbes asked for clarification of the western boundary and Planner Skelton agreed to verify. Planner Skelton confirmed with Planner Arkell that Saint Esteve Street (sp?) is completely constructed with curb and gutter. Fred Shields pointed out that the sewer main runs to a manhole and the water main is not shown. Planner Skelton pointed out the retention area to the northwest and asked if the Committee sees the potential of storm drainage going southerly to the stream. Craig Brawner commented that the site is subject to flooding and indicated that the retention area to the northeast might not be adequate . Planner Skelton added that the developer proposed a stream enhancement program to be coordinated with Fish, Wildlife and Parks . B. Informal Review 1. Montana Kids Daycare Planner Skelton reviewed the project, pointed out adjacencies, and explained that the daycare use is preapproved with part of the Walker Property PUD. He indicated that he is not aware of the status of access to the sanitary sewer system is and assumes a private well will be dug for domestic water services . He further commented that Sam Gianfrancisco indicated that the right of way to Reeves Road East is to tentatively be vacationed by the County Commission this week. Craig Brawner remarked that the longterm plan is to have all the subdivisions in the vicinity serviced by the new sewer system. He voiced concern over some confusion concerning the sewer easement shown on the plan. Planner Skelton confirmed with Chuck Winn that the project is, in the Belgrade Rural Fire District Brett Waters. Doug Hughes remarked that Beatrice Taylor buildings were required to have a one hour wall and a walkway between them. He further remarked that, if the building is the only structure, a one hour fire wall would not 2 be required. Planner Skelton indicated that he would have the Belgrade Rural Fire District review the submittal . Planner Skelton notified the applicants that an encroachment permit would be necessary for the ingress/egress. Phill Forbes voiced concern that the offset to Reeves Road East could confuse drivers and suggested a joint access with the adjacent lot so the entrance could line up with the property line . Dan Kamp responded that the only way to deal with the entrance completely is to reverse the plan: however, the grade on the north side of the lot limits the possibilities . He further explained that the northern portion drops about 6 to 8 feet and this plan attempts to utilize the most level portions for the building and parking. Phill Forbes suggested the parking be relocated to the west of the site. Planner Skelton cited page 392 of the Zoning Ordinance, Section 1850 . 110D and questioned whether that section would apply to the subject driveway. He said that the subject streets are perhaps not arterials or collectors, but local subdivision streets and suggested the applicant check with Sam Gianfrancisco. Planner Skelton noted that the pedestrian trail system for the PUD is still being worked out and indicated that Sam Gianfrancisco doesn' t have a problem with putting the trail in the right of way. Planner Skelton remarked that the proposal would be submitted as a minor site plan and would be reviewed by DRB as an informal . Planner Arkell pointed out that parking lots can only extend to 100 feet without a requirement for a landscape island. 3
