INFORMAL REVIEW 1. Bozeman Golf Center -(Arkell) SW%, SW%, Section 36, T1S,R5E, State Section An informal review for advice and comment on a proposed golf center. Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell presented the application. She noted the exact location is unclear,noting that the request came to the Planning Office addressed to the Planning Director asking for an informal review. DRC members determined that more information is needed to conduct the informal review. Discussion followed on possible accesses, sewer main locations, and annexation requirements if connecting to City sewer. Planner Arkell will ask the applicant for more information. B. DISCUSSION ITEM l. Morgan Creek Condos-(Skelton) North Meadows Subdivision Discussion of the pending Final Site Plan for the Morgan Creek Condos and the status of the Building Permit for Phase 1. Chuck Hinesley joined the DRC. Chairperson Skelton noted that a FSP has been submitted for Lots 6 and 3,however, Clair Daines owns Lot 3. Chairperson Skelton noted that FSP approval can only be given for Lot 6 at this time. He asked if the long driveway with a deadend will cause any problems. Fire Marshal Chuck Winn asked how far 150 feet would take the street. Chairperson Skelton noted it would extend into phase 2. Mr. Hinesley noted he has an easement through Lot 3 to Michael Grove for water and sewer and could put the street through also on the same easement,if necessary. He noted that he can close on Lot 3 whenever he wants. He indicated where he plans to construct the street with phase 1. Chairperson Skelton noted that he will move forward with FSP for all 5 buildings,if approval is obtained from Mr. Daines for the buildings on Lot#3. Project Engineer Karen Finke noted which improvements have been completed and which need to be completed before FSP approval is granted. Mr. Hinesley noted he understands that he can't get another building permit until the infrastructure Development Review Committee Minutes-December 2,1997 1 is complete. Mr. Winn asked when the street will be constructed. Mr. Hinesley noted he will know that answer next week. He anticipates it to be constructed to at least a gravel standard before the next two buildings are constructed. Discussion ensued on fire hydrant locations and joint access driveway easements. Mr. Winn noted he reviewed the project as a whole, so he needs to know when the street will be completed in relation to each of the buildings. He noted the first two buildings may not have problems,but the third could have access problems. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted that the FSP can be done for the whole project, then,if the property contract falls though,the applicant will have to start over with a new project for just Lot 6. Discussion continued on the land ownership. Public Service Director Phill Forbes reiterated that the City cannot approve a FSP without the current owner's signature and approval. Chairperson Skelton noted that he is rather reluctant to grant FSP approval for Lot 6 due to the ownership problem on Lot 3. DRC concluded that FSP for phase 1 could be approved,pending a discussion with the Planning Director and the City Attorney. Water/Sewer Superintendent Larry Woodward gave Mr. Hinesley a written copy of his concerns. C. FYI ITEM 1. Santa Fe Reds - (Skelton) 1235 North 7th Avenue - Discussion of pending status for the Conditional Use Permit and variances for Bozeman Inn/Santa Fe Reds. Chairperson Skelton gave an update on the status of the Bozeman Inn,noting that he and the Planning Director have identified 14 variances that are needed. He described the proposal,noting that he has advised Mr. Gaston to get the street vacated first. That process has been started, however,he's not sure it is complete. (Planning Director Epple verified that the process for the street vacation is complete.) Fire Marshal Chuck Winn noted the facility is at the maximum square footage for required sprinklering. He continued,when alcohol is being served, 5,000 sq. ft. is the maximum square footage allowed without sprinklering. Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen and Mr.Winn discussed fire-separation issues. Chairperson Skelton noted that since the applicant is short 28%of the required parking spaces,he and the Planning Director are unsure that the Planning Office can support the proposal. He reviewed the variances needed, noting that four are with yards, 7 with landscaping, others with handicapped parking, signage, and a non-conforming structure. He asked Streets/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz about the success of requiring snow removal. Mr. Sicz noted it is usually successful as the snow storage in parking spaces hampers the business. Mr. Poulsen asked if there is a floor plan. Chairperson Skelton noted there is none,to which Mr. Poulsen noted if they would bring a floor plan, the Building Department will work with Gaston Engineering to review the Building Code requirements. Fire Marshall Chuck Winn noted the driveway width is under 20 feet, so they cannot access it with a fire truck. Discussion followed on parking space and driving aisle widths.
