North of Kagy Boulevard and east of Highland Boulevard
An Annexation Application to allow the annexation of 421.96 acres.
Keith Swenson joined the DRC. Chairperson/Planner Skelton asked that all comments be
forwarded to the Planning Office to incorporate into the staff report. He noted the first two
applications, both the annexation request and master plan amendment will be discussed jointly.
He reviewed comments from Streets/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz,noting that the
comments are generally in regard street improvements during development of the property.
Project Engineer James Nickelson reviewed his comments for both applications.
Fire Marshal Chuck Winn noted that the fire department will be requesting a station site with this
property. The only immediate concern is the communications hole created by the location being
over the crest of the hill from the repeater. Some sort of resolution will have to be found.
Water/Sewer Interim Superintendent Mike Certalic reviewed comments from his department.
Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted he will do a preliminary staff report for the annexation request
to present to the City Commission,they will set a public hearing,then he will prepare a final staff
report for the hearing before City Commission.
Mr. Swenson noted he had no problems with utility comments and street widening won't be an
issue. He noted that the snow removal issue hasn't been dealt with so far, but will be worked out
with subdivision. The traffic circulation will be discussed farther down the line, however, they
will be dealing with it differently than as presented with this application.
Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted that easements are required during annexation,however, they
will be solidified at subdivision stage.

Wagon Wheel Road and South 3rd Avenue
A Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Application to subdivide 10.667 acres
into 28 residential lots. (Third of a four week review)
Clair and Steve Daines and Dave Crawford joined the DRC. Mr. Crawford explained the
circulation of traffic which,he noted, will discourage through traffic through this phase and
discourage high speeds. He noted that Oxford Drive with the elbow turn also will discourage
high speeds and the cul-de-sacs are within the limits for the length of them and sewer mains.
Associate Planner Chris Saunders reviewed his preliminary comments. Discussion followed on
the installation of the sidewalks when the streets are installed.
Project Engineer James Nickelson reviewed his preliminary comments.
Mr. Crawford asked Fire Marshal Chuck Winn and Water/Sewer Interim Superintendent Mike
Certalic about fire flow testing in this area when two hydrants are opened simultaneously.
Discussion followed on the last test completed a couple days ago. Mr. Crawford asked about
sewer line improvements and funding for them. He noted they are doing the engineering for the
sewer improvements and are looking for the City's cooperation in funding as this project is on the
IFCIP list.
Mr. Certalic reviewed the comments from the Water/Sewer Department. Mr. Crawford indicated
the locations of the ends of water and sewer mains and stubbing for them. Mr. Certalic added
"and relocated at the end of Phase 2 for later connection to Phase 3" to the end of comment#2.
Mr. Crawford asked for further explanation of comment#4, which Mr. Certalic gave. Mr.
Certalic noted that he'd rather see the sidewalk financially guaranteed as it should not be installed
prior to the installation of water/sewer. Mr. Nickelson noted the requirement was changed in the
last subdivision revision- a financial guarantee or installation. Mr. Clair Daines noted the only
difference is that it now the sidewalks have to be financially guaranteed. Mr. Crawford noted that
sidewalk installation would work better if it were tied to the building permit. Discussion of the
issue continued.

Mr. Graf asked about the SID for the water extension. He and Project Engineer James Nickelson
discussed the timelines. Mr. Graf noted they will use wells just for an interim water supply.
Chairperson Skelton noted a formal recommendation will be made next week to the Planning
Board.
Fire Marshal Chuck Winn asked how Mr. Graf will provide water for fire protection. Mr. Graf
noted the pool will hopefully provide the water for the sprinkler system. Mr. Winn noted the pool
will not provide water for fire hydrants. He discussed the installation of fire hydrants and the
possibility of sharing of hydrants with Costco until the water main is installed. He noted the most
vulnerable time for fire protection is during construction. He won't accept the liability for fire
protection without adequate water supply. Planner Arkell clarified that the water supply will have
to be installed prior to construction, complete with hydrants. Discussion continued on resolving
the water supply. Mr. Graf asked, since the storrnwater retention pond has a stable water level, if
they could pipe/pump from it to supply water for fire protection.
Mr. Tolstadt clarified the water supply need.
Chairperson Skelton noted a final recommendation will be made next week. Mr. Sparks noted
that there are problems getting well permits from DEQ. Mr. Winn noted if the stream flows year
round, it might be a possible water supply.

Skelton asked if the DRC needs to look at this a fourth week. Planner Arkell noted it is up to the
members. Mr. Certalic presented drawings of the existing sewer mains in the vicinity. His
concern is with the easements. Project Engineer James Nickelson noted the hospital is already

request.)
Bryan Connelley, Belgrade Rural Fire Department,joined DRC. Discussion followed on city
standard streets, city water and sewer, and the phasing. Mr. Connelley asked for the timeline for
the annexation. He noted that the State lands on the south side of the Interstate have no fire
protection. He suggested annexing the land to some fire district before any development occurs.
He noted the parcel north of the interstate is in the Belgrade fire district. Planner Arkell noted
they should be encouraged to join a fire district before filing preliminary plat.
Chairperson Skelton asked why DRC is looking at subdivision before annexation. Planner Arkell
explained the applicants wanted to know what issues to consider for annexation and subdivision.
She noted their largest concern is probably with water looping and accesses.

unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
