FINAL WEEK REVIEW (�A� — 1. Lowell Springer and Tim Mannachreck joined the DRC. Project Engineer Rick Hixson reviewed the comments from the Engineering Department. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted that the Preliminary Plat application has to show the location of the stormwater runoff and where it will go. (Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic arrived.) Mr. Springer noted that Montana Power Company will not participate in any way in realigning North 25"Avenue. (Public Service Director Phill Forbes arrived.) Mr. Springer asked Mr. Hixson if a second access is required. Mr. Hixson noted it isn't from an Engineering standpoint. Mr. Springer noted that last week Fire Marshal Chuck Winn didn't seem too concerned about a second access. Senior Planner/Chairperson Dave Skelton noted since the required second access is a zoning requirement, the Planning Office would list the second access as a condition. Mr. Springer reported that at a meeting held to discuss the construction of the streets in that area, everyone seemed to look favorably at a cooperative effort in getting them installed. (Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen arrived.) Mr. Springer asked if the condition pertaining to street construction would hold if the area landowners built the streets. Mr. Hixson noted that the construction of North 25"Avenue would be required. Mr. Mannachreck noted that these conditions are unchanged, therefore, they will have to go to the City Commission to see about getting help with the construction of the streets. Mr. Brawner noted there could be some flexibility in constructing North 25"Avenue as the secondary access for Phase 1. He noted an SID would get the streets completed with everyone paying a fair share. Mr. Brawner and Mr. Mannachreck continued discussing the timing of the installation of the streets and the possible creation of an SID to construct them. There were no continents from the Fire or the Water/Sewer Departments. Development Review Committee Minutes-July 14,1998 1 Mr. Springer asked if the creation of the SID would cover the financial guarantee conditions. Mr. Brawner noted it would, however, the timing of the SID would govern whether or not building permits could be issued when the applicant wants them. 2.

He noted he would put up a bond to guarantee the landscaping irrigation system and the removal of the barbed wire. He noted he has a problem with vandalism and wanted suggestions for dealing with it. Mr. Kamp noted that the barbed wire fence has been in existence for a long time. Planner/Chairperson Skelton asked if it was there before 1973. Mr. Kamp noted it probably wasn't, then asked if the landscaping shown is that which was previously approved. Planner/Chairperson Skelton noted that it is, however, there is a requirement for the inclusion of a boulevard tree every 50 feet. Mr. Kamp noted that was no problem. There were no comments from the Engineering Department. Greg McGaard, Fire Department, reviewed comments from Fire Marshal Chuck Winn. Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen noted that these issues won't stop the process at this time, however, when it comes time to review the building permits, the separations have to be in place. He discussed the building code issues. He noted they will be allowed to do the expansion, however, they need to bring the whole building up to code. Mr. Kamp noted that the proposed building is a separate building and he feels that the existing building is a separate issue. Mr. Connell noted the fire doors that have been installed in the latest addition. Mr. Poulsen noted that the sprinklering of the existing building is a separate process. Planner/Chairperson Skelton noted he would modify conditions#1 and#3 as#1 can be financially guaranteed and#3 to allow the issuance of the building permit prior to the removal of the barbed wire. Public Service Director Phill Forbes moved, seconded by Mr. Hixson, to conditionally approve the proposal as per the conditions and modifications of conditions of the DRC. The motion carried 6-0.

Project Engineer Rick Hixson reviewed his comments. Planner Arkell noted that condition#6 may not be necessary as there is no sewer main extension necessary. Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic concurred, noting that a private easement would be required across Lot 1 for the water service to Lot 2. Mr. Dougherty noted that the sewer service is the main concern. He noted that the July 20th City Commission hearing for a COA for the property needs to be postponed to allow time to redesign the project. He agreed that the existing water service lines need to be replaced as well as the sewer service.

Hospital Expansion Informal - (Arkell) 915 Highland Blvd. An Informal Review for advice and comment regarding a proposed addition to the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital. Rick Heck and Dave Hullinger joined the DRC. Assistant Planning Director Debbie Arkell noted the process they hope to follow, noting the proposal is for less than a 20% expansion. Public Service Director Phill Forbes noted that even though the addition is less than 20%, it is over 20,000 sq.ft. and therefore, he feels the expansion should require site plan review. Mr. Heck described the expansion proposed,noting it is a two floor expansion. Planner Arkell asked if any sewer or water lines will have to be moved. Mr. Heck noted they will not, however, they will need to increase the size of the water lines. He asked if the City has any restrictions on the heli-pad as it will have to be moved. Mr. Forbes noted that any floor drains in the garage will need a grit and oil separator. Mr. Heck continued his explanation of the proposed expansion. Mr. Hullinger asked for assistance in calculating impact fees and building permit fees;then discussed obtaining partial permits, tying into existing fire sprinkler and water/sewer services. He asked about the need for a full review. Mr. Forbes noted his realm for approving 20% expansions is rather narrow, however, he's not sure this project will qualify. Planner Arkell noted that it may be quicker to go through the three week DRC review if Mr. Forbes will have to get comments from all City agencies. She noted if the Planning Director and Public Service Director determine that it is an application for the City Commission review, then it will go before them.
