like it to be considered for Impact fees.

06:14:03 PM Staff follow-up on public comment.
Ms. Rosenberry stated that a substantial amount of Main and Broadway has been
completed with contributions from a developer and they would like to get the item on the
CIP so that we can give the impact fee credit to the Developer. City Engineer Rick
Hixson stated that as far as the Kagy project, the preliminary design will include traffic
counts etc. and at that time we will look at the lane configuration. As far as Durston and
the applicant's request of moving it to Fiscal Year 2016, there is a question of how to pay
for the local share of the section by Bronken Park as the City does not have it. We could
move it up and work with developer to come up with a resolution of how to pay for that
share.

as far as engineering Kagy, other engineering to other streets will need to take place

Cr. Mehl stated that this is a no-brainer and we want underground, and it is a great thing
that they are doing for the community. In terms of the three standard we are looking at,
the project meets the standards. The access ramp slope is needed because of the physical
nature of the building, it makes sense.
Deputy Mayor Taylor stated that he is troubled by the variance standard and how it is
applied. He will support this motion.
Mayor Krauss stated that not many are proposing underground parking, physical
conditions of the lot are not shared like the others in the area. This is a good design.

different than others. He wants to maintain consistency. Deputy Mayor Taylor thanked
the developer for proposing this project.

other properties differently. He spoke regarding the parking space contributions and the
destruction of buildings. He clarified that the City does not bond them. He appreciates the
investment and Mendenhall will be very cool. He does not support bulb outs however as

09:33:04 PM Commission Suggestions or Comments
Cr. Mehl stated that it is a different culture and weather conditions where the Woonerf
comes from. He likes that the enhanced alleys are short. 8 phases are hard to say "go
ahead" to. He has no problems with distance to the commercial node. The pond to the
east needs cross walks, he is not concerned about the 100% access, people will walk
around the pond,need a trail on east west area and he is interested in round-a-bouts.
Page 13of15
December 8,2014 Bozeman City Commission Minutes
Cr. Pomeroy stated that it looks like high density and more work force housing and there
is more open space.
Deputy Mayor Taylor-stated that it is worth experimenting with in Phases 1 and 2. He is
not fond of the dead ends, has concerns about some of the Woonerf function, the long
stretch on the south should be a road, is concerned about not having parking on the park
dedication, there is a need for parking on south side of lake, he is not concerned about
setbacks unless there is enough growth and plantings to keep lawn fertilizer getting into
the lake. He is ok with the Woonerf design in phases 1 and 2 but there may be some
problems with enforcement and snow removal.
Mayor Krauss stated that he likes the 2008 design better but understands why the
changes are being made, there is a big chunk of residential but the developer will need to
address fertilizer run off into the lake. He spoke regarding the size of the roads, the sign
for the Woonerf and understands the concept. He is a little more on the edge where there
is an unknown of how we are going to continue the street through. We tried small streets
before and he is willing to try it again. He agrees that snow removal could be a problem.
