He spoke regarding the Sculpture park and advocated an area to create. 07:35:49 PM Jennie Leaf,Public Comment Ms. Leaf likes Mr. Zakovi's art but has a problem with giving up public right-of-way. She spoke regarding of pedestrian safety. It has been an engineering problem. She is against giving up the right-of-way and opposes a foundry in a residential neighborhood. This is not just for his work but other artists he may be taking on as well. She does not support. Page 5 of 16 Februag 23,2015,Bozeman 00,Commission Alinutes 07:38:01 PM Frank Sinkin,Public Comment Mr. Sinkin stated that he has been in Bozeman since 1971 and is an Architect and spoke regarding changes in Bozeman since that time. He spoke regarding the quality of life aspect that draws people to Bozeman. The spirit of this place draws people. We need more art. This makes Bozeman a special place to live. He urged the Commission to allow the garden to remain a precious jewel in our City. 07:41:15 PM Christopher Nixon,Public Comment Mr. Nixson spoke regarding this being turned into an emotional item. To him it is a health and safety concern and spoke regarding the need of having a safe pedestrian public walking space. He has concerns about the foundry. He spoke regarding the permit issued in 1991. He does not see the M-2 use in a residential area. He wants to know if there was a lawsuit back in 1991 regarding the foundry. 07:44:38 PM Public Comment closed. Mayor Krauss closed public comment. 07:44:59 PM Applicant rebuttal Mr. Zakovi spoke regarding the 1991 use of his property. He encourages anyone to walk through his sculptures on his property. He stated that when the City needs the right-of- way to improve Plum Avenue he will remove the items. 07:46:36 PM Commission questions from Staff The Staff and Commission spoke regarding if there was a prior lawsuit. Mr. Zakovi spoke regarding the prior Bozeman Bronze business. Mr. Rogers spoke regarding the original approval. The Staff and Commission continued to discuss the conditions as set forth in the past in 1991. The zoning of the property and the uses on the property as the zoning has changed through the years, the timeframe of the building permits, the building code requirements and enforcement, when the zoning of R2a and R3a were eliminated, what occurs when this use ceases, the encroachment on the other side of the street and the outcome of a review by staff when they received a complaint. 08:00:50 PM Commission Discussion Mayor Krauss stated that he doesn't have an issue with the foundry, the fact that welding impacts the environment more than the foundry. The issue for him is not so much the encroachment, unsightly piles but more so the quality of life and spirit. The Application falls apart in quality of life and spirit of this place. He spoke regarding the neighbor's complaint of altercations with Mr. Zakovi. It is different in the City than out in the Country atmosphere. The number one item is respect. He is not sure how to mitigate that. Looking at the facts, there are some reasons to allow some of this. He will remove the sculptures when the City needs the road. Granting the items requires an act of faith and cooperation including respecting the people around us. He has a hard time having this confidence. Deputy Mayor Taylor stated that when uses are grandfathered in and zoning is changed, they have to continue. He spoke regarding the non-conforming uses. He stated that it is an expansion of manufacturing and will vote against that. The display in the front yard, Page 6 of 16 FebruaiY 23,2015, Bozeman Cily Commission Dlinutes there is a lot of front yard there. The encroachment is the issue but is persuaded by Mr. Goetz that what is fair is fair. There is one on one side. Encroachment permits and the meaning behind them. He spoke regarding the street in the area not being very wide and there are pedestrians in the area. It is more of a safety issue that he is not sure he wants to take on. He spoke regarding his prior legal background. He is interested in some kind of agreement on the encroachment line. As far as the storage of materials, we are a complaint driven City and is more of an aesthetic issue than a safety issue. The question is what the rules are. Cr. Pomeroy stated that this is difficult for her because of supporting art and spoke regarding her family's background in this field but we have to get along with our neighbors. The Community has changed. She spoke regarding the noise problem and air pollution and fire risk. She will not support those. As far as display of merchandise, as long as he works with neighbors she supports. She will not support the storage of materials. Cr. Andrus stated that expanding the manufacturing is not reasonable. She spoke regarding the reasons why but doesn't feel it contributes to the neighborhood. She feels as far as the encroachments but that he needs to comply to the requirements back in 1991, and take the items from the right-of-way. As far as the storage of materials, it is subjective. Her concern is that she wants to live in a community where we can get along so we don't have to discuss this at a Commission level. She asked that he moves his items from the right-of-way and move it onto his property. Cr. Mehl stated that he has prior foundry experience and the first motion is the hardest for him. What has occurred over 20 years in the area. The area is now residential. He is ok with what he has now in terms of the setback but suggests that if anything else is added, everything will go away. Fair is fair. For the screening, we make everyone screen. Being in art is a noble profession. Can't value one use over another. It is an essence of fairness. The Commission is the last resort. Freeze this in place and move on. 08:24:18 PM Motion that having reviewed the application materials, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff report for application Z14346 and move to allow tine expansion of on-site manufacturing through the establishment of a foundry finding the expansion is reasonable, natural and incidental to the growth and use of an existing business with recommended conditions and subject to all applicable code provisions. Motion made by Cr. Mehl but failed due to lack of second. 08:25:23 PM Motion that having reviewed the application materials, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby reiect the findings presented in the staff report for application Z14346 concerning the proposed expansion of on-site manufacturing through the establishment of a foundry. E Commissioner - Chris Mehl: Motion Commissioner - I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd Page 7 of 16 Februag 23, 2015,Bozeman Cit.),Commission Minutes 08:26:18 PM Commission discussion on the Motion Cr. Mehl stated that this application is 23 years old and no progress has been made towards it. It has been R-2 and is not incidental to a residential area; he feels it should be rejected. Deputy Mayor Taylor does not feel it is reasonable. The neighbor dispute is not part of his decision. Mayor Krauss stated that to him the way the property exists now seems part of the sculpturing process. He spoke regarding the R-2 zoning. He sees some precedent. 08:28:19 PM Vote on the Motion that having reviewed the application materials, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby reject the findings presented in the staff report for application Z14346 concerning the proposed expansion of on-site manufacturing through the establishment of a foundry.

Commissioner- Chris Mehl: Motion Commissioner- Cynthia Andrus: 2nd 08:33:30 PM Commission discussion on the Amendment Cr. Mehl stated that he respects Mr. Zakovi as an artist but that he wants to freeze this in place. Cr. Andrus stated that she is not going to support the motion. The applicant has demonstrated that he did not comply with the City in the past.Need somebody on Staff to oversee this. Wants the structures moved into the red line. This does not serve the public. Mayor Krauss stated that as far as the setback, there is an operation going on there and to display wares doesn't seem too extreme. There are other areas where wares are in the setback in the City. Deputy Mayor Taylor appreciates the point that Cr. Mehl is making but his concern is safety in regards to the street. He will vote against the Amendment as stated but suggests that we authorize an encroachment within 1Oft from the pavement. From a safety standpoint it is good enough. Cr. Pomeroy spoke regarding Zakovi respecting the setback and that this would mean he has to move his sculptures behind the red lines Page 8 of 16 February 23,2015,Bozeman City Commission Adinutes 08:41:21 PM Amendment withdrawn.
