Final Week Review 1. Heritage Christian CUP and Variance Z-9570 Planner Windemaker reviewed a question raised by Phill Forbes and noted the Waiver of Right to Protect Creation of Special Improvements RIDS has already been filed. She stated that Sam Gianfrancisco has two conditions pertaining to the paving of Durston Road to county standards and that the County Health Department had a condition. She then reviewed the planning conditions for the proposed project. Dave Skelton questioned the condition of starting paving at the end of the current paving instead of closer to the property. Planner Windemaker indicated that Sam Gianfrancisco had indicated that the paving needed to be continuous and not broken up with gravel .

Dave Skelton stated that the committee is asking for street frontage trees that will be on the property and not in the public right-of-way. Kurt Albrecht reviewed the building code conditions for this proposed project. John Paysek reviewed the conditions from engineering. Planner Windemaker asked if a condition about annexation taking place prior to water and sewer hook up needed to be included. Dave Skelton stated that at other times a waiver to protest annexation was given by applicants . Dave Skelton commented that it is good to have the condition that before city water and sewer are hooked up there must be annexation. He advised the applicant to go over any concerns they have on the conditions with Planner Windemaker before the Planning Board meeting July 18 . John Paysek moved, seconded by Chuck Winn, to recommend conditional approval of the project with the conditions of the staff with the one additional condition that tie in to city water and sewer cannot be done000 without annexation.

He pointed out that a representative from Gaston Engineering, Mark Iwaniah was in attendance. He stated that he had done an on-site inspection the morning of the meeting and noted the existing asphalt and mature trees on the location. He stated he was concerned as to the relocation of the stream ditch in relation to the trees . He reviewed the conditions of the staff report and noted that there is one tube light allowed on the facia of the sign and still wonders about the placement of that tube. Planner Skelton pointed out conditions #4 and #5 which concern culverts , stream ditch, and holding harmless the City of Bozeman concerning the ditch. He reminded the representative that there needs to be a 35' set back on the North East corner of the parking area and that the parking was not to encroach onto this stream set back. He also voiced concern as to the topography in relation to the stream ditch. He stated that the site grading plan will have to be very accurate and that an on-site inspection may have to be done to see that the plan is followed. Fred Shields commented that the trees in the sewer easement were not addressed in any of the conditions . Planner Skelton asked if the second access on St. Estephe will work for fire and Chuck Winn responded in the affirmative. John Paysek reviewed the conditions from engineering and stated that they are consistent with the conditions from the previous review although some have been added. One of those added included that the driveway be paved from the South East corner of the project to U. S . Highway 191 and that the curbing, asphalt and any other state requirements will need to be in place. Added to condition #20 was that an encroachment permit to work on U. S . 191 will be needed. John Paysek moved, seconded by Kurt Albrecht, to recommend the proposed project with the conditions as outlined to the Planning Board and City Commission. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote by the members of the committee present. Planner Skelton reminded that the proposed project is scheduled for the city Aug. 7 and for the Planning Board on July 18 . B. Initial week Review 1. Lockwood Building MiSP/COA Z-9584 Planner Windemaker reviewed the proposed project on the corner of Beall and Bozeman having an apartment on the first floor and offices on the second. She noted that the applicant will be purchasing three parking spaces from the parking commission for the office and having two spaces for the apartment. Dave Skelton asked if there was anything of concern. John Paysek asked if there was existing sidewalk. Fred Shields replied that there is a curb walk on Beall, and a boulevard and sidewalk on Bozeman. Fred Shields also noted that the water crosses this lot to the building on the west and that he had located the line easement on the site today. Water service will be located under the garage and that will not be acceptable. He stated that there is a 20' easement and the water line and sewer line do not stay in the easement and will have to be relocated for this proposed project to work. Dave Skelton stated that an easement of 20' will work and questioned if an easement has been filed for that. Fred Shields stated that Phill Forbes was going to check with Robin Sullivan to see if an easement had been filed. 2 . Happy Hours CUP Z-9569 Planner Arkell reviewed for the committee that the City Commission has denied the parking variance for this proposed project and the applicant is now looking at just using the main floor and not the basement which would reduce the parking they would need to five plus one American Disabilities Act place plus two for the apartment that will remain on the second floor. She stated that the commission may approve the center if they find that the present proposal meets traffic and pedestrian traffic needs . She noted that day care centers are conditional uses based on traffic, and pedestrian circulation. Planner Arkell also noted that the city is interested in seeing a day care for children with special needs . Planner Arkell stated that the Design Review Board will be looking at this proposed project due to the fence and ramp on its July 25 meeting. Kurt Albrecht asked how many children will be served by the proposed project. Planner Arkell replied that the number has not been finalized but that the number will be reduced due to the reduction in floor space. Kurt Albrecht noted that this project will be a change of occupancy and Planner Arkell concurred. Chuck Winn asked what special needs children are and Planner Arkell responded that they are developmentally disabled or emotionally disabled children. She also reviewed the square footage of how many children they may have. Chuck Winn asked if the Department of Family Services talked about the basement and Planner Arkell replied that they have already given their approval of the project to the applicant. Kurt Albrecht asked what ages would be using the building and asked about the large motor area in the basement. Planner Arkell responded that the ages will be anywhere from infant to age 9 or 10 and reminded the committee that although the plans the committee received include the basement that after the Monday night meeting the applicant now plans on only using the main floor and not the basement. Georgiann Youngstrom noted that large motor area does not necessarily mean only for special needs children. She said preschool children are all referred to activities for the large motor muscles and not just special needs . Planner Arkell asked that comments on future use of the basement would be appropriate. Dave Skelton stated that the committee will be making a recommendation on this proposed project . 3 . American Bank MaSP Z-9568 Planner Skelton noted that he had asked Rob Gilbert to be here for the meeting today, but he is not in attendance. Planner Skelton pointed out that the proposed project is to add two structures . One includes removing Petcetera and adding a covered parking area and the other included building a 4, 800 square foot professional building. Kurt Albrecht asked if there is perpetual parking in that area and Planner Skelton stated he will do parking space numbers . Kurt Albrecht asked if they are building across the property line. Planner Skelton also voiced concern that the plans looked as if they were and that the applicant would have to show that they own both properties and will require a deed restriction to sell the lots jointly. John Paysek noted that he has not seen much parking out at the existing building. Fred Shields asked if the covered building was just for parking. Planner Skelton stated that was how he understood it. Fred Shields asked if it is designed for a 2nd floor to be added later as if it is there needs to be the water and sewer plans included now. Planner Skelton asked if retention ponds are allowed now along West Main. John Paysek replied that he didn' t know. Chuck Winn stated that he will have questions next week. John Paysek stated that the corner by Red Barn at the North East corner looks tight for turning radius . Planner Skelton asked if it is a shared ingress/engress with Red Barn. John Paysek pointed out that the entry between the two buildings needs to have handicap parking and entries to the west. He also commented that he didn' t know if sidewalk, curb, and gutter will be required on Babcock. Chuck Winn commented that there is a big ditch on the property. Planner Skelton asked if the outside of the building was for car tellers and if there would be stacking of cars as if there is there may be conflict with the west building. Planner Skelton stated he will meet with Rob Gilbert to express concerns regarding who owns the property and the loss of parking. C. Informal Review 1. walker Property Sub/ PUD Planner Skelton reviewed that this is located at Springhill Road and U. S . 10 by the 19th interchange and will access city sewer but will have private water. He stated that the proposed project will be neighborhood uses and commercial uses . There will be food services on the west side of one of three structures with a drive up window. He wondered if that area will allow for back up and stacking of cars . John Paysek pointed out that there may be back up onto parking stalls . Planner Skelton also asked engineering about the driveways on Reeves Road noting that they are skewed and not directly aligned. Ben Lloyd pointed out that after the meeting with Planner Skelton concerning this proposed project he did some checking and found the structure is not a transformer that will have to be moved rather it is a junction cam. John Paysek stated that if the south street is dedicated as a public street rather than a shared access, the access needs to be perpendicular. Planner Skelton noted that Reeves will remain a shared access and private. John Paysek then stated that even if it is shared access he would like to have the access perpendicular. Planner Skelton stated that they needed to look at the multiple use, retail/commercial uses for the parking needs . Ben Lloyd stated they are dedicating more parking for snow removal . Fred Shields stated that if using city sewer and private wells, no matter how many wells, there will have to be meters into each building as the used water will go into the treatment program of the city. He also asked for a location map. Ben Lloyd stated that all three buildings are one-story. Ben Lloyd pointed out that they had looked at a number of site plans for this project but felt this one had addressed proximity questions . Kurt Albrecht stated that as close as the buildings are the building code will require a one hour wall. Planner Skelton stated that Sam Gianfransico from the County transportation will need to be included in the proposed project since it is out of the city limits concerning the traffic patterns and accesses .
