missioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung,

Minutes - October 10
It was moved by Commissioner Hawks, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that
the minutes for the regular meeting of October 10, 1989 be approved as amended. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Goehrung and Mayor
Stiff; those voting No, none.
Discussion - enforcement of the conditions for the Conditional Use Permit for Cind
esigns, 615 ast Mendenha treet
Acting City Manager Gamradt submitted to the Commission a memo from the Planning
staff, along with a letter from the applicant.
Planner Ron Brey briefly highlighted the history of this conditional use permit. He
noted that in July 1988, the City Commission approved the application submitted by Michael
Houlton for Cindy Owings Designs to allow a caretaker's residence in the structure at 615
East Mendenhall Street, which is located in an M-l zone. He noted the applicant was al-
ready occupying the premises at the time the application was submitted; therefore, the
Commission imposed an accelerated timeframe on installation of the improvements attached to
approval of the permit. The Planner stated that in May 1989, the staff sought compliance
with the conditions for approval of the conditional use permit; however, the improvements
were not installed by the July 15 deadline agreed to by both parties.
Planner Brey stated that the business has recently undergone organizational tur-
moil with the partnership, which existed at the time of approval, being dissolved. He stated
that the staff is now working with a different member of the partnership; and she was led
to believe that all necessary improvements had been made. She has indicated a willingness
to comply, but has further indicated that financial difficulties will not allow her to make

the improvements or provide financial security at the present time. She is willing to sign
the waiver of protest for improvements to the alley and is willing to install the other im-
provements when financially able to do so.
Planner Brey reminded the Commission that this item was submitted to the Commis-
sion on August 21, 1989, at which time they allowed forty-five days for completion of the
conditions; however, that has not been done, as noted above. He stated that following
discussions, the staff feels it would be appropriate to turn this matter over to the City
Attorney so he can pursue compliance with the conditions. He indicated that if not suc-
cessful in obtaining compliance, staff will pursue a cease and desist order or revocation of
the conditional use permit.
Commissioner Hawks asked if it would be possible for the City to contract for ser,..
vices to install the required improvements and then place a lien on the property. He noted
that process would avoid a need to pursue a cease and desist order in the future.
Planner Brey indicated he would need to check the legality of that possibility, not-
ing he feels that might be an option.
Commissioner Vant Hull submitted a rhetorical question, asking why the City is be-
ing so restrictive on this applicant when it wasn't on other applicants such as Life Link.
She further noted that in this situation, splitting of the partnership has not yet been re-
solved.
Commissioner Martel noted that the policy for conditional use permits has beenes-
tablished. He further noted that this use was in existence at the time of application; and
the City approved the appl ication in good faith. He suggested that financial security for
installation of improvements should be sought. He then stated, however, that he does not
support Commissioner Hawks' suggestion that the improvements be installed and a lien
placed against the property, noting that could establish a dangerous precedent.
Commissioner Goehrung asked if the applicant has been involved in discussions on
this conditional use permit; the Planner responded she has been present at most of the
meetings.
Mayor Stiff stated he has no problem with allowing staff to work with the applicant
in this situation; however, he did register concern about establishing a precedent.
Planner Brey stated he feels there are extenuating circumstances in this case which
would not be present in other instances. He noted that in this case, the applicant has in-
dicated a willingness to comply; therefore, he does not feel revocation should be pursued
at this time.
Commissioner Martel expressed concern that the appl icant indicated in August that
the improvements could be installed in thirty days. She was given an extension of forty-
five days at that time, upon recommendation from the City Manager; and she has still not

met the conditions.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that
the Commission turn enforcement of the Conditional Use Permit for Cindy Owings Design to
allow a caretaker residence at 615 East Mendenhall Street over to the City Attorney for
action and any further recommendations. The motion carried by the following Aye and No
vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner
Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Update re planning process - Andy Epple and Roger Craft
Acting City Manager Gamradt reminded the Commission that the Planning staff has
expressed a desire to provide a weekly update on the planning process in an effort to
keep the Commission informed.
Planning Director Andy Epple distributed to the Commission copies of the com-
pilation of public comments received concerning the draft zone code, dated October 6,
1989; Director of Public Service Forbes' comments concerning the draft master plan, dated
September 29, 1989; and the ad hoc implementation committee's response, dated October 12,
1989, which was forwarded to BRW, concerning the draft master plan and capital improve-
ment plan.
Mr. Roger Craft, member of the ad hoc implementation committee, distributed to the
Commission a proposed timeline for public hearings on the master plan, capital improve-
ments plan and zone code, as drafted by the consultants.
Mr. Craft stated the ad hoc implementation committee will meet on Wednesday morn-
ing to finalize comments to be forwarded to the consultants so they can make the needed
conceptual changes in the second draft of the zone code. He then stated that on October
27, the consultants are to forward the second draft of the zone code as well as the final
draft of the master plan and capital improvement plan to the City. Comments on the sec-
ond draft of the zone code are due in Denver by November 10; and the final draft of that
document is to be forwarded to the City on November 24.
Mr. Craft stated that under the proposed timeline, a special City-County Planning
Board meeting is to be scheduled for a public hearing on adoption of the master plan and
capital improvement plan; and a public hearing is scheduled for December 5 on adoption of
the zone code. The hearings before the governing bodies are then scheduled for Decem-
ber 11 before the City Commission and December 12 before the County Commission, with
these hearings to be held on the master plan, capital improvement plan and zone code.
Mr. Craft stated it is the committee's recommendation that any proposed changes resulting
from the hearings before the City-County Planning Board be reduced to writing before the
public hearings before the governing bodies so that they can be considered rather than
10-16-89

written during those hearings.
Mr. Roger Craft stated that Mr. Don Hunt, BRW, has indicated that the consultants
can meet this timeframe as proposed. He then stated that the contract with the consul-
tants does not cover the entire time period and requested authority to extend the contract
through November 24 to coincide with this schedule. He indicated that this change in con-
tract will only extend the time and not change the dollars involved.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that holding a joint hearing by the City Commis-
sion and County Commission would be more beneficial than separate hearings by both gov-
erning bodies, because it would allow both to receive the same testimony. She then sug-
gested the hearing could be held on either Monday or Tuesday.
Commissioner Martel noted the City Commission should approach the County Commis-
sion to determine if they are interested. He also noted that an evening meeting should be
encouraged.
Mayor Stiff noted that the zone code is a City issue.
Mr. Craft concurred. He noted, however, that the zone code and the master plan
are so closely tied together that a change in one document might trigger a change in the
other.
Mayor Stiff asked if there was a consensus; and the Commission concurred that a
joint evening meeting with the County Commissioners should be pursued.
Mayor Stiff then asked if the sign code and historic preservation section are to be
considered separately from the zone code, as previously decided.
Mr. Roger Craft stated that if the sign code and historic preservation section can
be completed in final draft form by the time the public hearings are held, he feels they
should be included. He then indicated that the historic preservation section has been re-
written locally and has been distributed to the ad hoc implementation committee for review
and comment. He noted that copies of this document will also be distributed to the Com-
mission as soon as possible. Mr. Craft then stated the sign code is a major component of
the zone code; and it would be beneficial to include it in the public hearing if at all possi-
ble.
Mayor Stiff expressed concern about trying to include these sections in the public
hearing on the zone code, particularly after the Commission made a conscious decision to
hold them until later. He further expressed concern that the ad hoc sign committee and
the City staff may be pressured too much to meet the timeline established; and he would
prefer to wait until they have a document with which they are comfortable.
Mr. Craft suggested it would be preferable to include those two sections with the
remainder of the zone code; and he encouraged that the process move forward with those
sections included at this time. He noted that if it becomes evident within the next three

to four weeks that there is not adequate time to develop acceptable documents upon which
to conduct the public hearing, those sections could then be deleted from the initial public
hearing process.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goehrung, Planner Ron Brey stated he
has set aside the sign code and concentrated on the master plan and zone code. He stated
that a number of philosophical issues must be addressed by the committee, as well as dif-
ferences in content between the draft they prepared and the one prepared by the consul-
tants. The Planner then stated he is not certain that the ad hoc sign committee could de-
velop a draft sign code with which they are comfortable prior to the scheduled public
hearings. He further indicated he does not have sufficient time to do a comprehensive re-
view of both the zone code and the sign code between now and the public hearings.
Commissioner Goehrung suggested that if the sign code and historic preservation
section are to be included in the zone code, he feels a separate City Commission hearing
should be held on those, but that a joint hearing should be held with the County Commis-
sion on the master plan and capital improvement plan.
I n response to a question from Commissioner Martel, Mr. Craft indicated the consul-
tants will not be present at the public hearings, noting that was not a part of the con-
tract. He then indicated that if the Commissioners wish to have the consultants present,
it could probably be arranged on a fee basis.
Mayor Stiff stated he has not yet seen drafts of the sign code and historic preser-
vation section; and he does not feel prepared to address those items as a part of this
proposed timeline. The Mayor once again noted that the ad hoc sign committee and Plan-
ning staff should be given adequate time to review and propose changes in the document
so they are comfortable with the process and don't feel like it has been pushed on by
them.
In response to a question from Mayor Stiff, Planner Brey stated the ad hoc sign
committee is prepared to step back into the process when needed. He noted they had not
finally approved the draft which they had prepared, but were waiting for staff to finalize
portions of it and review the document to ensure its legality. He stated that to date he
has given them no indication of when they would need to begin review of the draft docu-
ments, since he had been given no message to convey.
Mr. Craft stated he feels it would be most beneficial if all of the documents could
be considered at one time, particularly since they are so intertwined. He then stated that
it must be recognized that it will take probably two years to get the documents and pro-
cesses totally refined and working properly.
Planning Director Epple stated the staff is doing their best to work within the
timeframe proposed. He noted it will be very difficult for them to accomplish review of all
10-16-89

of the draft documents in a manner which provides a good comfort level.
Mr. Craft stated that an advertisement for the public hearings must be published
fifteen days prior to the date of the hearings; therefore, he needs a response on what is
to be included in time to meet that deadline. He noted that the advertisement for the
public hearing on the zone code before the City-County Planning Board must be published
not later than November 20 if it is to be held on December 5.
Following an extensive discussion of various options available, the Commission con-
curred that the public hearings before the City Commission should be held prior to the
end of the calendar year so Commissioner Vant Hull can be actively involved. They fur-
ther concurred that if it appears more than one hearing is needed, the documents should
be spl it by topic or section rather than separating the documents one from the other,
since they are so intertwined. They further concurred that the final decision on whether
to include the sign code and historic preservation section in the public hearings process is
to be made at the November 6 City Commission meeting.

ORDINANCE NO. 1284
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 1988 EDITION OF THE UNI-

AND AMENDING CHAPTER 15.24 OF THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL CODE AND
REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 1205, AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIO-
LA TION THEREOF.
The Acting City Manager stated that this item, as well as the following six agenda
items, involve adoption of codes written at the national level and adopted as submitted or
revised at the State level. He reminded the Commission that these codes must now be
adopted at the local level, as they were adopted at the State level. He noted that during
provisional adoption of these ordinances at the October 2 Commission meeting, several
questions were raised. He then noted that a memo addressing those questions was submit-
ted in the Commissioners' packets.
The Acting City Manager stated adoption of these codes should not impact historic
preservation efforts or low-income housing. He then indicated that the fee structure for
the plumbing code is not significantly different from that adopted by the State; and the
City.s will prevail since it is adopted as a part of this ordinance. He further noted that it
appears no conflicts have arisen locally between the Uniform Building Code and CABO One
and Two Family Dwelling Code to date.
Acting City Manager Gamradt then recommended that the Commission finally adopt
Ordinance No. 1284.
It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Hawks, that

Discussion - topics for fifth Monday discussions on October 30
Acting City Manager Gamradt reminded the Commission they had requested this item
be placed on the agenda.
Mayor Stiff asked the Commissioners to list the topics they would like to address
during the fifth Monday discussions.
Commissioner Goehrung indicated a desire to submit a summary of two of the work-
shops held at the Center for the Improvement of Public Management, held in Colorado in
August. He indicated his presentation will take approximately fifteen minutes, then he will
respond to any Commissioner involvement. He also suggested that if the Commissioners
wish, they may contact County Commissioner Jelinski individually to obtain her viewpoints
after this presentation.
Commissioner Hawks stated he will introduce a highly technical discussion concern-
ing issuance of building permits and failure to issue closing permits, and alternative cor-
rective methods, at the ad hoc implementation committee in the near future. He suggested
that such a discussion should also be held with the Commission on October 30, noting that
input from staff could be beneficial.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commissioners share opinions on various
elements contained in the draft documents prepared by the consultants. She cited as ex-
amples the building height restrictions and length of time for appeal.
Commissioner Martel requested a report on the number of dog and cat licenses is-
sued this year to determine if this enforcement has been effective. The Commissioner also
asked for a report on enforcement of the weed cutting ordinance, noting the lot on North
7th Avenue which had been occupied by Milam's Greenhouse, as well as some of the City
parking lots, have weeds that have not been cut and which are in violation of the ordi-
nance. He asked for statistics on the number of warnings or citations issued for this pro-
gram during the summer. The Commissioner suggested that the Commission may wish to
pursue with the City Judge the possibility of requiring work-offs for those who are unable
to pay fines and forfeitures. He noted those individuals would be required to do physical
labor in the parking lots to minimize those weed problems.
Commissioner Goehrun9 asked for an update on Director of Public Service Forbes'
ideas concerning solid waste disposal.
Mayor Stiff suggested that discussion be held on the transportation plan update,
noting staff may not be prepared to address this issue. He further noted that the High-
way Department is capable of contributing $30,000 toward this $80,000 project if the City
is prepared to move forward; and he feels the item should be addressed before the Decem-
ber TAC/PCC meeting.
The Mayor then requested that discussion of a policy concerning sister cities be

placed on the agenda. He noted the policy has not yet been established; and he feels it
should be to ensure the City, and City officials and employees, are not placed in untena-
ble situations.
Commissioner Hawks requested a clarification on the City's policies concerning street
parking restrictions.
Mayor Stiff suggested that each of these items, except Commissioner Goehrung's re-
port, be allotted a fifteen-minute timeframe. The Mayor then requested this item be placed
on next week's agenda for further discussion and City Manager's input.
Discussion - FY I Items
Acting City Manager Gamradt presented to the Commission the following "For Your
Information" items.
(1 ) A letter from Rocky Mountain Development Council, dated October 5, 1989,
announcing a two-hour seminar on the "1990 Community Achievement Award" to be held on
November 9 from 1 :00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
(2) A copy of a letter dated October 12, 1989, from Mayor Stiff to Mrs. Annette
Osen concerning the agricultural building recently constructed on Mark Duffy's property.
(3) A copy of a form letter from Dan Davis concerning the building constructed
on Mark Duffy's property.
(4) Commissioner Hawks expressed concern about the 45-mile-per-hour speed limit
on East Main Street, particularly as it intersects with Highland Boulevard and Haggerty
Lane. He then expressed a desire for the Commission to write a letter to the State High-
way Department requesting that the speed be reduced in that area.
Mayor Stiff suggested that action on this item not be taken until City Manager
Wysocki has had an opportunity to become involved.
(5) Commissioner Hawks noted that two-hour parking signs have been installed

maintain pleasant green places in a community which people can reach without getting into
cars.
(7) Commissioner Vant Hull distributed copies of three newspaper articles, two of
which were in today's edition of the Billings Gazette. She noted one article is about an
evacuation caused because of problems in a pizza plant. She stated the second article

concerns annexation of islands of land in Billings, questioning 'why Bozeman can1t annex
its islands. She noted the third article, entitled "Cops claim city unfair", indicates that
other cities encourage enforcement of speed limits, suggesting the same should be done lo-
cally. She cited South Willson Avenue, Mendenhall Street and East Main Street as exam-
ples of areas where enforcement should be increased.

Kincaid for Kwik Wa , Inc.
located on Lot 1, lock 6;
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Per-
mit requested by Dennis and Dorothy Kincaid for Kwik Way; Inc., to allow operation of a
pizza business in an existing structure located on Lot 1, Block 6 of Thompson's Fourth
Addition. The site is more commonly known as 123 West Kagy Boulevard, and is located at
the northeast corner of the intersection of Kagy Boulevard and South Willson Avenue.
Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing.
Planner Dave Skelton presented the staff report. He stated that this application
would allow a pizza delivery service, with restaurant facilities to accommodate sixteen peo-
pIe; to relocate to the old Kwik Way site at 123 West Kagy Boulevard. He noted that ac-
cess to the site would remain at the present curb cut location on West Kagy Boulevard.
He stated that in a 1976 memo from former City Engineer Arthur Van't Hul to former Plan-
ning Director Paul Bolton, the Engineer indicated that access to this site from Kagy Boule-
vard would be preferable to access from South Willson Avenue.
Planner Skelton stated one concern raised by the Zoning Commission was the visual
sight triangle at the intersection of West Kagy Boulevard and South Willson Avenue. He
noted that the landscaping plans indicated that a portion of the landscaping in the sight
triangle is to be removed, which will address that concern.
Planner Dave Skelton stated that in 1976, Kwik Way received a conditional use per-
mit to construct the existing building for use as a convenience store. The business was
in operation until 1988; and the building has been vacant since that time. He indicated
that under this application, the use of the structure would be changed to a pizza delivery
service.
Planner Skelton stated the staff reviewed this application, based on the six criteria
for review of conditional uses. He noted that concerns included slight realignment of the
driveway and elimination of one parking space as well as additional landscaping and buffer-
ing along the northwest corner of the property. He stated that conditions to address
those concerns have been developed for approval of the application; and the appl icants
have agreed to those conditions.
Planner Skelton stated that the subject property is located in a 8-1- T, Neighbor-

hood Business with a Transitional Overlay, district. It is the only lot within the district
which is not a part of the Southwood Planned Unit Development. He noted one of the is-
sues raised at the Zoning Commission meeting was the use of appropriate architectural
treatment to bring the existin~ structure more into conformance with the Southwood
Planned Unit Development. Planner Skelton then distributed to the Commission copies of
the architectural elements contained in the Land Use Development Guidelines of the
Southwood Planned Unit Development, reviewing them as follows:
1. Low maintenance exterior materials compatible with period architec-
ture; including brick, stucco (Dryvit), 8-inch or less lap siding of
primed hardboard, vinyl, cedar or redwood, or wood vertical board
and batten.
2. Pitched roofs with textured materials; cedar shingles or shakes, or
three-tab asphalt textured shingle with grey tones. Flat roofs shall
be permitted on minor elements such as canopies or mechanical enclo-
sures, or on major structures if a pitched facade is applied to give
the appearance of steep pitch.
3. Window muttins (horizontal and vertical grills) with strong lines on
street side to give "homey" look (1/2-inch minimum widths). Grills
are not required on windows not on street side of building.
4. Strong detail on windows, facia and corners, with only subtle color
changes in trim elements.
The Planner reminded the Commission that these guidelines are for the Southwood
Planned Unit Development; therefore, this project cannot be required to meet them. He
noted, however, that the applicants have indicated an interest and desire to meet the spirit
of all the guidelines except the steep pitched roof. He noted the applicants have indicated
that the costs involved in installing a steep pitched roof, along with the attendant mech-
anical system problems it would cause, would make the project not viable.
Planner Skelton then briefly reviewed the conditions, as recommended by the Zoning
Commission, for approval of this application. He indicated that, to date, the Planning of-
fice has received no input from the public in the surrounding area in support of or in op-
position to this application.
Mr. Robert Lee, representing the applicants, indicated this has been a difficult ap-
plication to prepare since the site is located in a 8-1- T zone and there are no guidelines
for the district. He reminded the Commission that this application is for a change of use
in an existing building, not for a new structure which could be built in conformance with
the guidelines for Southwood Planned Unit Development. He stated that Mr. and Mrs.
Kincaid have indicated a desire to make the building more interesting and have discussed
various options for doing so, which would be in keeping with the spirit of the Southwood
PUD.
Mr. Lee then stated that the heating and venti lation systems are currently installed
on the roof. He indicated that to install a pitched roof would require relocation of those
units; and the cost would be $25,000 to $30,000. He indicated that the applicants have
10-16-89
. f ~. .'
L
.- \

expressed an interest in considering a pitched roof option at the time reroofing is
required; however, that will not occur for a few years.
Mr. Lee then addressed the issue of making this structure look more like those in
the Southwood Planned Unit Development. He reminded the Commission that the subject
site is screened from the Southwood PUD by aspen trees. He further noted that the first
two buildings constructed in the Southwood Planned Unit Development, which are closest to
the subject structure, were constructed before the land use development guidelines were
implemented; and the only similarity they have with the new buildings is the pitched roof.
Mr. Robert Lee stated that the siding on the old Kwik Way building is low mainte-
nance. He noted it has been painted very few times in thirteen years; however, it has
retained a good appearance. He noted that grills could easily be installed in the windows;
and detailing on the windows and corners of the structure could visually change the struc-
ture. He noted that the north and west sides of the building do need to be enhanced;
and the appl icants have indicated an intent to do something to improve the situation. Mr.
Lee then noted there is a mansard roof on the south side of the structure; and the appli-
cants have proposed to install posts from the ground to the corners of the roof.
Mr. Lee stated the Zoning Commission asked that some of the landscaping on the
north side of the site be redone to provide more buffering for the residential areas. He
stated the applicants agree to that condition; and they have considered options to improve
the appearance of that side of the building as well.
Commissioner Hawks stated the existing structure has been a blight on that neigh-
borhood since its construction. He noted that B-1- T guidelines state that structures in
this district shall be designed to blend with, the residential character of the neighborhood.
The Commissioner then noted that an existing structure may be altered slightly so it ap-
pears to meet the guidelines for new construction within a development. He then suggest-
ed that to extend the mansard facade around the building would give the illusion of a
steep pitched roof, which would meet the intent of the guidelines, help the building blend
into the area, and enhance its general appearance. He stated this could be probably be
done at minimal cost without any impact to the mechanical systems currently located on the
roof. He then indicated that the applicants' proposal seems to address the remainder of
the guidelines for the Southwood Planned Unit Development. The Commissioner then asked
if the applicant would be willing to consider installing a roof facade, as he has proposed.
Mr. Robert Lee indicated that installation of a facade could possibly be done, as
long as it does not interfere with the free airflow for the mechanical systems.
Commissioner Martel noted that improvements to the structure will enhance its ap-
pearance, reducing its negative visual impact. He stated that to require installation of a
steep pitched roof on this existing structure would dramatically increase its height; how-

"..
ever, he noted that to replace the existing flat roof with some type of pitched roof or
pitched roof facade which hides the mechanical equipment on top of the structure, in the
materials suggested for the Southwood PUD, would blend this structure with other devel-
opment in the area.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goehrung, Planner Skelton stated the
appl icants propose to change the existing sign, which is located on the mansard roof fa-
cade, from a triangle to a rectangle and change the wording. He stated that the architec-
tural guidelines for Southwood PUD allow installation of one wall-mounted sign per estab-
lishment; and only back lighting is allowed. He indicated In this instance, the sign is a
low-profile sign which would be backlit; however, it is mounted on the facade, which is
considered a part of the roof.
Commissioner Hawks stated the applicants seem to have indicated there would be no
major complications in trying to meet the architectural intent and guidelines for the
Southwood Planned Unit Development, noting encouragement for proceeding in that manner.
He then suggested that the four guidelines, as set forth above, be included in the con-
ditions for approval of this application, since it appears they would not create any undue
hardship on the applicant.
In response to a question from Mayor Stiff, Mr. Robert Lee stated the applicants
have reviewed the four architectural elements contained in the land use development guide-
lines for Southwood Planned Unit Development and noted that, as long as the intent is to
be met and as long as facades are acceptable, they are willing to meet those guidelines.
Planner Skelton stated that a mansard facade would meet the Planning staff's re-
quirements for a steep pitched roof appearance.
I n response to another question from Mayor Stiff, Mr. Lee stated he is not sure
that installation of a mansard roof facade is economically feasible, since the suggestion
arose just this evening and they have not had adequate time to research that issue.
Planner Skelton indicated that staff can work with the applicants to ensure that the
spirit of the architectural elements for the Southwood Planned Unit Development are met.
He then stated he is more concerned about placement of the sign, since the Southwood
PUD guidelines require a wall-mounted sign; and there is very little wall space on which a
sign could be mounted. He then asked for Commission guidance on this issue.
The Commissioners briefly discussed the issue, determining that the sign is to be
allowed on the facade.
Mrs. Dorothy Kincaid, applicant, indicated she has operated Stageline Pizza in
Bozeman for the past four years. She stated it has been her goal to purchase a building
for her business, noting she intends to operate her business here for several years. She
then stated that she and her husband want to make the existing building nicer; however,
10-16-89
I t
J' l' 't

they also recognize the financial constraints involved. She noted that at the present time,
it is not possible to install a pitched roof; however, that might be a possibility in the fu-
ture, when the roof needs to be replaced.
Mrs. Kincaid stated that this operation is to be a pizza pick-up and delivery ser-
vice, not a restaurant. She noted, however, that the application includes booths to seat
sixteen patrons, for those who do wish to eat there. She stated that at the present time,
the operation is located at 514 West Aspen Street; and approximately 5 percent of their
business is pick-up service, with the remainder being delivered.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that at the subject location, some people may wish to
eat at the facility, stating support for inclusion of an eating area. She also indicated she
feels the subject site is appropriate for this type of facil ity. The Commissioner then asked
if the vegetation to be removed at the southeast corner of the property could possibly be
transplanted to the northwest corner of the lot.
Mr. Robert Lee stated that the appl icants wi II remove on Iy that vegetation which is
essential for public safety and the sight triangle. He noted a majority of that is low
brush, which is not the type of screening which will be planted along the northwest cor-
ner of the property.
Mr. Lee then asked for clarification on the proposed additional conditions discussed
by the Commission, including the architectural elements. location of the sign and the
length of time for installation of improvements.
Planner Skelton indicated that the intent of the four architectural elements, as listed
earlier in this discussion, is to be met. Also, the sign may be installed on the facade or
the wall. All improvements are to be made within the standard eighteen-month period.
Mayor Stiff asked the applicants if they accept the conditions as set forth by the
City Commission; Mrs. Kincaid responded that they do.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that
the Commission waive the customary one-week waiting period. The motion carried by the
following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner
Martel, Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks and Mayor Stiff; those voting No,
none.
It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Goehrung, that

7. That three copies of the final site plan containing all the conditions,
corrections and modifications approved by the City Commission shall
be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Director within
six months of the date of City Commission approval. A final site plan
must be approved prior to issuance of a building permit or business
license for the project, or commencement of the use. One signed
copy shall be retained by the Planning Director, one signed copy
shall be retained by the Building Department and one signed copy
shall be retained by the applicant;
8. If all improvements are not installed prior to final site plan approval,
the applicant shall enter into an improvement agreement with the
City. Detailed cost estimates, construction plans and methods of se-
curity shall be made a part of that agreement;
9. I f occupancy of the structure or commencement of the use is to occur
prior to installation of the improvements, the agreement must be
secured by a method of security equal to one and one-half times the

approval of the final site plan. The conditional use permit shall be
valid only for a period of eighteen months following approval of the
final site plan. Prior to the permanent renewal of the permit at the
end of that period, the applicant must satisfy all the conditions in the
granting of the permit. An on-site inspection wi II be made and a re-
port made to the City Commission for their action. If all required
conditions have been satisfied, the permit will be permanently gran-
ted.

requested by Gene Badgley to amend Sections 18.30.020, 18,34.020, 18.36.020 and
18.52.140(M) of the Bozeman Municipal Code to add IIrecreational vehicle sales" and IItravel

Commercial--Li9ht Manufacturin9, and M-2, Manufacturing and Industrial, districts and to
the list of conditional uses in the B-3, Central Business, district; and add Section
18.04.451 and amend Section 18.04.570 of the Bozeman Municipal Code to add the definition
of "recreational vehiclell and amend the definition of "travel trailer".
Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing.
Planner Tom Sheely presented the staff report. He stated that at their September
26 meeting, the Zoning Commission conducted its public hearing on this zone code amend-
ment. He indicated that following the public hearing, the Zoning Commission deleted that
portion of the amendment which would have added "recreational vehicle sales" and IItravel
trailer salesll to the list of conditional uses in the B-3 district. He noted the remainder of
the amendment was approved as submitted. The Planner noted that staff had prepared the
amendment, as submitted, based on the fact that vehicle and boat sales are permitted as a
conditional use in the B-3 district.
Mr. Gene Badgley indicated a will in9ness to respond to any questions.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked the Planner to outline the B-2 area located along West
Main Street. She then expressed concern that a portion of the district is located along
West Babcock Street, which is a residential area.
Commissioner Martel noted that the zone code amendment limits the size of the rec-
reational vehicles and travel trailers to 8 feet by 40 feet. He then expressed concern that
the listed width could limit the types of vehicles in stock, since many of the luxury motor
homes are 8 feet 6 inches or 8 feet 8 inches wide. He suggested that reference to the le-
gal width, as established by the State of Montana Department of Highways, might be more
appropriate~
Planner Sheely stated he discussed the definition as proposed with some of the
dealers; and they indicated that the reference to 8 feet by 40 feet would be satisfactory.
He then stated the Commission may change the definition if they wish.
Commissioner Goehrung asked if servicing of the vehicles sold would be anticipated
in addition to sales.
Planner Sheely stated that service would be permitted as an accessory use to this
type of sales, for those units which were sold by that dealership.
Commissioner Hawks asked how recreational vehicles and travel trailers are to be
distinguished from mobile homes, noting he does not feel that mobile home sales should be
allowed in a Community Highway District.
Planner Tom Sheely stated there is a definition in the zone code for mobi Ie homes.
10-16-89
.. '1

- 21 -
He also indicated that adoption of this amendment would not allow the sale of mobile homes
in the B-2 district.
Commissioner Vant Hull expressed concern about problems which could be incurred
by allowing the sale of larger vehicles and trailers in some of the areas zoned B-2 in the
community.
Planner Sheely stated there may be specific sites in the B-2 zone which would not
be appropriate for this use; however, he feels that on an overall basis, the B-2 zone is
appropriate. He then stated that the Director of Public Service has indicated that when
reviewing a site, he will require that a tractor/trailer unit could accomplish the maneuvers
before approving the application.
Commissioner Goehrung expressed concern about the noises and odors and running
engines which could accompany service activities, particularly on a larger unit. He then
indicated an interest in allowing "recreational vehicle sales" and "travel trailer sales" as
conditional uses in the B-2 and B-3 zones and as permitted uses in the M-l and M-2
zones.
No one spoke in support of or in opposition to the proposed zone code amendment.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Hawks, that
the customary one-week waiting period be waived. The motion carried by the fol lowing
Aye and No vote: tho~e voting Aye being Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks,
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she does not feel these uses are appropriate in
the B-3 zone.
Commissioner Hawks stated that review of the intent section for the B-2 zone and
the listed permitted uses reveals that the proposed uses are not much different from exist-
ing permitted uses. He then indicated he does not support this type of use in the B-3
district, even as a conditional use.
I n response to a question from Commissioner Goehrung, Planner Sheely stated that
auto repair shops are permitted uses in the M-l and M-2 zones and conditional uses in the
B-2 zone.
Commissioner Goehrun9 stated he would prefer more oversight on this type of activ-
ity in the B-2 zone; therefore, he feels it should be a conditional use in that zone.
Commissioner Vant Hull concurred with that view.
It was moved by Commissioner Hawks, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the
Commission approve the Zone Code Amendment to amend Sections 18.30.020, 18,34.020,
