(First of three week review for Preliminary comments; will then review 2 more times for final comments after preliminary report completed) Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell presented the project. She noted that the applicants have divided the project into three sections -the section they want to annex, the section they'd like to annex, and the section they would annex if they could. She explained the DRC meeting schedule as three weeks of review, then a preliminary report, followed by two weeks thinking time,then two more weeks of review before the final report is due. She noted that the flaw in this plan is that if only the first section is annexed,the Adam Bronken Memorial Park cannot be dedicated to the City, as the sponsors of the park intended. Project Engineer Karen Finke inquired if there has been any more discussion on the sewer trunk that Morrison-Maierle is working on for the Delaney property. Mr. Hixson noted they have run into a snag. Discussion followed on the extension of City limits with no increase in manpower to service the area.

Project Engineer Karen Finke noted that the plans and specs have been received for water, sewer, and street improvements. Water/Sewer Superintendent Larry Woodward asked for the sewer easement location. Planner Arkell noted that wouldn't be a sewer easement as the sewer is located in a public alley. Streets/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz noted a waiver for alley improvement may be required. Planner Arkell reviewed the December Informal meeting notes where the applicant was informed by the DRC members that unless his project utilized the alley, he would not be required to improve it. Discussion ensued on the location of fire hydrants. Fire Marshall Chuck Winn noted the three hydrants should be located one on each comer and one evenly spaced between those two. 4.

Discussion ensued on the deviation for the cul-de-sac installation. Public Service Director Phill Forbes noted that Donna Avenue should be a public street. Streets/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz concurred, noting that he'd want it to continue through to West Main Street. Mr. Forbes noted that there should be another access to the subdivision. DISCUSSION Legislative update: Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen noted that HB 388 passed,which requires the County Commission to give the City permission in writing to administer the jurisdictional area. It requires public hearing(s), etc., and goes into effect July 1. It puts the responsibility of the jurisdictional area in the hands of the County Commission. If part of a subdivision is in the jurisdictional area, then the whole subdivision is in and is subject to City regulations. Also there is a new requirement for handicapped access being provided to a building, not just to the site. The City of Bozeman is already meeting this requirement. Mr. Sicz moved, Ms. Finke seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. The meeting was adjourned at 11:15. Development Review Committee Minutes-April 29, 1997 3
