Final Week Review
1 . Nelson PUD
Planner Beland reviewed the proposal and subsequent issues
from the previous DRC discussions . He suggested the Committee
review the entire property as one complete submittal inclusive of
the CUP, the PUD and the preliminary plat. He distributed and
reviewed staff reports for both the DRB and the Planning Board and
indicated that the Planning Board would get a compilation of all of
the conditions .
Rick Hixson indicated that the staff report adequately covers
all concerns of the Engineering Department.
Planner Beland read a letter just received from Rick Kerin
which the Planning Office did not have a chance to review which
addresses four items . After a general discussion regarding the
items mentioned in the subject letter, Planner Beland remarked that
regardless of Mr. Kerin' s letter, the City would have to ensure an
adequate connection with the existing and future infrastructure.
Fred Shields remarked that concerns of the Water/Sewer
Department have been covered by the Staff Report.
Craig Brawner voiced concern that information provided at the
last minute could substantially change the review. Planner Beland
explained that the conditions have been drafted to protect all of
the City' s public safety and infrastructure concerns . He suggested
that, absent any particular concerns, the DRC move the PUD forward
so that the City Commission can consider the entire package April
3rd. He added that there is ample opportunity to address any
additional concerns that may arise between today' s meeting and the
City Commission.
Fred Shields suggested that plans for each building be
submitted for review and approval by the Water/Sewer Department.
Craig Brawner asked that plans be routed to all of the city
departments represented by DRC as well . He confirmed with Planner
Beland that the detailed site grading and storm drainage plans are
requirements of conditions of the subdivision. Planner Beland
remarked that there will be an overall drainage plan. Craig
Brawner remarked that such plans will need to be detailed enough so
the city will have the ability to go back and see what the previous
storm water master plan was for the site.
Planner Beland reiterated that the DRC would reserve the right
to take another look at the proposal if committee members feel that
there has been some oversite.
Roger Sicz moved, seconded by Rick Hixson, to conditionally
approve the proposal per the Staff Report and the additional
comments from Fred Shields and Craig Brawner pertaining to standard
building permit routing of the PUD lot proposals . The motion
carried with a unanimous voice vote of the members present.
2 . Security Bank Z-9518
Planner Arkell reviewed the proposal and discussed the
revision of the landscaping islands and the relocation of the
driving aisle with the MDOT improvements . She reviewed the
conditions per the Staff Report.
Planner Arkell reviewed written comments from the Water/Sewer
Department.
Roger Sicz, Chuck Winn and Kurt Albrecht indicated that they
had no comments .
Rick Hixson remarked that most of the concerns of the
Engineering Department have been addressed by Fred Shield' s written
comments . He remarked that a sidewalk would be required to
connect to the Montana Department of Transportation sidewalk and
that the driving aisle within the parking lot would need to be 26 '
in lieu of 251 . Planner Arkell commented that the subject sidewalk
could lead into the entrance desired by the applicant.
Roger Sicz moved, seconded by Fred Shields, to approve the
proposal with conditions outlined by Planning Staff and the DRC.
The motion carried with a unanimous voice vote of the members
present.
Planner Arkell noted the conditions of appeal to the
applicant.

subdivision would commence next week.

unanimous voice vote of the members present.
Initial Week Review
1. Landon Industrial Z-9526
Planner Arkell briefly reviewed the proposal and indicated
that it will be on city sewer but not city water. She remarked
that the project is out of the city limits but within planning
jurisdiction and is located in an M-1 District.
Planner Arkell confirmed with Chuck Winn that the subject
proposal is within the Rae Fire District. She noted that the
covenants of the property require a 100 ' front yard setback, 40 '
side yard setbacks and 60 ' setbacks along the culdesacs .
Planner Arkell remarked that until the subdivision
architectural committee approves a plan for the site, that the city
should not consider reviewing the proposal .
Planner Arkell said that she believes the old North 19th
Avenue has been officially changed to Simmental Way.
Craig Brawner commented that when the- subdivision development
was done none of the interior roads were put in. He remarked that
the Bozeman Solvent Site would need to be a consideration and the
applicant would be responsible for any treatment systems and
maintenance required by the Water Quality Bureau. He added that
SIDs or RIDs would need to be considered for the extension of city
water to the subdivision.
Chuck Winn remarked that the applicant can expect some
conditions from the Rae Fire District as there are currently no
fill sites . He added that the building would most likely need a
fire suppression system.
Fred Shields remarked that any applications for sewer hookups
would need to be approved by Phill Forbes . Craig Brawner remarked
that he has some problems with the sewer connection out there and
added than connection to city sewer would require some groundwater
monitoring.
2 . Vander Jagt
Planner Windemaker reviewed concerns of the Informal Review
regarding installation of curb and gutter, the accesses , and the
drainage in the immediate area.
Roger Sicz remarked that parking would not be allowed along
Plum or Avocado. He added that the applicant may possibly need to
pay for no parking signs along those streets . He added that there
may possibly be a tradeoff concerning the street cut moratorium if
the applicant does the engineering designs for the street. He
asked how can the City force curb and cutter on other developers in
the area if they are not required of this developer.
Craig Brawner noted that storm drainage is a mess for the
area. Roger Sicz added that if the city doesn' t start requiring
the proper development of vicinity developments , appropriate
development will never occur.
Craig Brawner suggested that the applicant come up with an
overall street design so that the curb and gutter will at least be
piece-mealed in. He urged that a storm drainage master plan be
considered.
Planner Arkell noted that the adjoining streets are paved.
Roger Sicz added that they are 26 , wide with no curb and gutter and
that drainage dumps into Simkins Lumber yard.
Craig Brawner remarked that the fire protection requirements
would depend on the occupancy.
John Paysek voiced concern regarding on-site and off-site
drainage. He questioned why the applicant is proposing 16 , X 12 ,
header across the alley and suggested the eastern alley be
realigned to be at a right angle from the street .
Craig Brawner remarked that right-of-way considerations make
the project difficult.
Planner Windemaker noted that the proposed building lays over
several lots .
Discussion Item
1. Willowbrook Condominiums
Planner Windemaker reviewed the project and explained the
review process .
Roger Sicz remarked that he has no comments to add.
Fred Shields commented that the applicant would still need to
meet the conditions of the original approval .
Craig Brawner remarked that payback fees would be more easily
assessed with the subdivision review of condos .
There was a general discussion regarding building footprints
over water and sewer lines .
Two Week Review
1 . Master Plan Amendment
Planner Arkell reviewed the proposal and noted the current and
history of zoning in the subject areas in relation to the Master
Plan. She indicated that she feels that the Master Plan is correct
between East Frontage Road and the Interstate and that more
residential uses in that area would not be appropriate. She
remarked that a small portion of B-2 designated property will
remain on the west side of Heritage Christian School on Durston
Road. She asked that the Committee comment on the service area and
growth boundaries .
Informal Review
1 . Chris Salacinski
Planner Arkell reviewed the proposal as she understood it from
a previous discussion of splitting lot 12 . She remarked that code
would restrict him from splitting it because the property is less
than an acre. She indicated that he was also interested in
rearranging lot lines to make one small parcel and one large
parcel .
Craig Brawner remarked that the subject property could be
subdivided if annexed.
Chuck Winn remarked that the vicinity needs water desperately.
Fred Shields noted 12" water line proposed to be installed by
Gener Cook.
Planner Arkell confirmed that the general feeling from DRC is
that until water is available to the site, the property cannot be
subdivided.
