Continued discussion - A
Fourth Subdivision
This was the time and place set for the continued discussion on Condition Nos. 10
and 11 for approval of the major site plan as set forth by the City-County Planning
Board, as filed by David H. Nelson, representing K-Mart Corporation, for Lots 1 and 2,
Block 4, Westlake1s Fourth Subdivision. The subject site is more commonly located at 1126
North 7th A venue.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that they had conducted the pub-
lic hearing on this request at last week's meeting, after which they approved Condition
Nos. 1 through 9 and 12, as slightly modified, and referred Condition Nos. 10 and 11 to
the Design Review Board for their review and recommendat ion to be submitted at this
week's meeting. The City Manager then distributed to the Commission a memo dated July
23 from the Design Review Board addressing those two conditions.
Mr. Ralph Johnson, member of the Design Review Board, stated the Board reviewed
Condition Nos. 10 and 11, referred to them as follows:
10. All signs on the subject property shal I be brought into compl iance
with the Interim Sign Code;
11. Landscaping and signs on the subject property shall be reviewed by
the Design Review Board and brought into compliance with the re-
quirements of Section 18.43.050 (Design Criteria and Development

Standards) of the Interim Zoning Ordinance;
Mr. Johnson stated that, following review of the site plan submitted by Mr. Carmelo
Cea at the July 17 Commission meeting, the Design Review Board determined that Condition
Nos. 10 and 11 should be replaced by the following five conditions. He noted that in a
telephone conversation with Mr. Cea, the architect of record for K-Mart Corporation, he
stated verbal agreement with these conditions as set forth.
1. That the second row of landscaped islands (to the east of the plant-
ing area adjacent to North 7th Avenue) be relocated to the west such
that the landscaped elements contained therein be added to and be-
come a part of a continuous landscaped area adjacent to North 7th
A venue. Said enlarged landscaped area will, at a minimum, be sixty
(60) feet in width, and shall include all trees, shrubs, grass, and
berms as depicted on the above-referenced Plan;
Mr. Johnson stated this condition would move the second row of landscaped islands
closer to North 7th Avenue, thus creating a denser landscaped buffer along that entryway
to the community.
2. That a landscaped storm water detention facility. designed to a I so
provide primary treatment of storm water runoff from the entire site,
be developed in an approximate eighty (80) by two-hundred (200)
foot area to the north of the proposed addition, including and immedi-
ately adjacent to the landscaped front yard along Oak Street. Said
detention/treatment faCility shall be designed by a professional engi-
neer, subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Ser-
vice;
Mr. Ralph Johnson stated that the Design Review Boa rd was concerned about
on-site retention of storm water. He noted that under this condition, an area approxi-
mately 80 feet by 200 feet would be set aside at the northeast corner of the subject prop-
erty for storm water runoff. He stated the site would be designed by a professional engi-
neer and would be a grassed area which would meet some of the landscaping requirements
for the site. He indicated that storm water would run to this site, where it would slowly
percolate to the ground, and then evaporate, be assimi lated by the vegetative root systems
or travel to the storm drainage system.
3. That the three "double-tree" landscape islands in the middle of the
parking lot to the west of the main building shall be eliminated, with
the landscape elements depicted therein incorporated into the land-
scaped detention/treatment facility along Oak Street described in Con-
dition No. 2 above;
Mr. Johnson noted that this condition represents a compromise which was suggested
by K-Mart Corporation. He stated that following discussion, the Board felt that relocation
of three of the double tree landscape islands from the parking lot to the storm water de-
tention area would be appropriate, due to the heavy landscape buffer to be provided along
North 7th A venue. He noted that this change will decrease the costs to K-Mart Corpo-
ration because it will reduce the number of cuts which must be made in the asphalt and
the sprinkler system extensions which must be provided.
4. That in consideration of installing the additional landscaping in the
manner described above, K-Mart is entitled to keep Existing Signs 1-4

as depicted on the July 17, 1990 Plan, subject to the "Amortizationll
and/or II Except ions To Specific Conformity" provisions set forth in
Chapter 18.65 of the Interim Zoning Code. However, Existing Sign 5
as depicted must be removed immediately; and
Mr. Ralph Johnson highlighted the locations of the existing signs on the site, not-
ing that the four existing signs on the building will be allowed to remain at the present
time, thus becoming subject to the amortization provisions of the interim zoning ordinance.
He stated that the fifth existing sign, which is located near North 7th Avenue, must be
removed immediately.
5. That due to the need for K-Mart to take advantage of the current
construction season, and due to the fact that it may take up to sev-
eral weeks to prepare the necessary documents and gain final ap-
provals as required by the conditions imposed, site preparation and
foundation excavation may commence immediately as provided for by
the Uniform Building Code; however, no concrete shall be poured un-
til a Final Site Plan and all accompanying documents have been sub-
mitted for review and approved by the Planning Director.
Mr. Johnson stated that, in conformance with the Uniform Building Code, this type
of condition may be added to allow the applicant to begin site preparation while completing
the necessary documents and plans for review and approval by the Planning Director. He
stated that under this condition, all work preparatory to pouring of concrete may be com-
pleted; however, the concrete may not be poured until all documents have been completed
and approved by the Planning Director. He encouraged the Commission to include this
condition, stating he feels that the project should be allowed to begin as soon as possible.
Commissioner Swanson noted that Condition No. 12. which was approved by the Com-
mission at last week's meeting, requires that an on-site water detention facility be pro-
vided for the addition, following hydrology studies by a licensed engineer. He then asked
if the conditions proposed by the Design Review Board conflict with that condition.
Mr. Johnson stated that the conditions recommended by the Design Review Board
are complementary to, not in conflict with, that condition.
Responding to questions from Commissioner Goehrung, Mr. Johnson stated that the
two extensively landscaped areas to be provided along North 7th Avenue and West Oak
Street are acceptable compromises, noting that they will provide a much improved corridor
in that area.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the
Commission approve the major site plan requested by David H. Nelson, representing
K-Mart Corporation, for Lots 1 and 2, Block 4, Westlake's Fourth Subdivision, subject to
the following conditions:
1. The final site plan must contain all the submittal requirements as
specified in Section 18.52.030 of the Zoning Ordinance including, but
not limited to:

Planning Board; and shall include minimum 2i-inch caliper trees;
5. City standard sidewalks within a public sidewalk easement shall be
provided along North 7th Avenue between Hemlock and Oak Streets,
excepting Lot 1, Block 1 of Westlake's Second Filing frontage;
6. The applicant (K-Mart) shall demonstrate that they have a long-term
(at least 25 years from date of approval by Planning Board) right of

7. The applicant shall provide a waiver of right to protest creation of a
Special Improvement District (SID) for street and appurtenant im-

including asphalt street surface, curbs, gutters and sidewalks, be-
tween Oak and Hemlock Streets. The applicant shall also agree to
install sidewalks along West Oak Street and West Hemlock Street from
North 7th Avenue to North 5th Avenue at the time development occurs
east of North 5th Avenue;

traffic counts and would be limited to a maximum of 40 percent of the
project costs;
9. The appl icant shall sign a waiver of right to protest the creation of
an SID for installation of a 7th Avenue traffic signal at their west en-
trance or at Oak Street. The waiver would be exercised when future
traffic counts demonstrate a signal in this area is needed, or in con-
junction with FAU project--19th and Oak; and participation in said
SID will be limited to a prorata share based on the findings of an
independent traffic impact study;
10. The second row of landscaped islands (to the east of the planting ar-
ea adjacent to North 7th Avenue) be relocated to the west such that
the landscaped elements contained therein be added to and become a
part of a continuous landscaped area adjacent to North 7th Avenue.
Said enlarged landscaped area will, at a minimum, be sixty (60) feet
in width, and shall include all trees, shrubs, grass, and berms as
depicted on the above-referenced Plan;

er Frost, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Goehrung and Mayor
Hawks; those voting No, none.
Request for permission to address Commission re proposal for Perkins Avenue - Rudy
Svehla and Greg Beardslee
The City Manager noted that a number of petitions and comments from people in the
area of Perkins Street were included in the Commissioners' packets.
Mr. Rudolph Svehla, 419 East Lamme Street, stated he has lived at that location for
approximately four years; and for the past two years, he has attempted to get the City to
address the issue of Perkins Place being used as a street, although it is not wide enough
to be considered a street. He briefly highlighted the history of Perkins Place, noting that
many years ago, Perkins was a road, and was fairly functional for those few properties
fronting that road. He noted that at that time, the street grid was to include extension of
East Fridley Street and East Davis Street to North Rouse Avenue, where water mains were
buried; however, street extensions were not accomplished.
Mr. Svehla stated that at its entrance to East Lamme Street, Perkins Place is only
20 feet wide, widening to 30 feet for the remainder of its length to East Peach Street. He
noted that in many areas, people encroach upon the public right-of-way, thus narrowing
the available space to travel.
Mr. Svehla stated that about ten years ago, two apartment buildings were con-
structed in the middle of Perkins Place; and their only access is to Perkins, even though
the lots extend to North Rouse Avenue. He noted there are currently 94 cars using what
the neighborhood considers an alley every day, at all hours of the day and night. He
stated that because of this traffic load and the speed at which that traffic moves, the
neighbors are concerned about their children's safety as well as their own.

Mr. Svehla then addressed the issue of the mailboxes for the apartment complexes
being located on East Lamme Street, at its intersection with Perkins Place. He noted that
the Post Office has a policy that mailboxes must be located where sidewalks are available;
and there are no sidewalks along Perkins. He stated that the Post Office has indicated
that it would consider relocating those mailboxes to North Rouse Avenue.
Mr. Svehla suggested that possible solutions to the problem include the installation
of one or two break-away barriers on Perkins Place, which would require traffic to exit
one direction or the other and eliminate the possibility of through traffic. He suggested
that solution be coupled with the requirement to provide access to the two apartment
buildings to North Rouse Avenue, or possible City purchase of one of the long, narrow
lots to provide a street or alley to North Rouse Avenue. He noted this would address the
existing traffic load as well as the potential additional load which could be created by the
construction of more apartment buildings on the three lots which are currently vacant.
Mr. Svehla stated that when he approached the City two years ago, one suggested
solution was paving of Perkins Place through a special improvement district. He stated
opposition to that proposal, noting that it wou Id cost approximately $5,000 per property
owner. He stated the majority of persons living in that immediate area are either new fam-
ilies just starting out or retired persons on fixed incomes; and they can ill afford the ad-
ditional costs.
Mr. Rudy Svehla noted that Perkins Place is not a standard street; and the prob-
lems residents incur along that roadway are not standard problems. He noted that the uno
parkingU and speed limit signs which have been posted are not being observed; and some
alternative solution must be found.
Mr. William J. Hinson, 211 North Church Avenue, stated he bought his house thirty
years ago so he could retire there. He stated he is on a fixed income and does not have
monies to pay the assessments for a special improvement district. He then expressed con-
cern for the Ulittle peopleu who live and play along Perkins, noting he has observed traffic
moving at 40 miles per hour along that roadway.
Mr. Greg Beardslee, 221 North Church Avenue, s ta ted he has heard vehicles
throwing gravel and moving fast through the alley; and that traffic can spoil backyard ac-
tivities. He noted that he has two small children who walk to and from school; and he is
concerned for their safety as they cross the sidewalk at Perkins. He stated that to have
Perkins paved would reduce the dust; however, he is concerned that it would encourage
additional speed as well as increased traffic.
Mr. Beardslee stated support for the proposal to install a break-away barrier on
Perkins, thus diverting traffic one direction or the other from the apartment buildings.
He then encouraged the City to require access to North Rouse Avenue, rather than to

Perkins Place for all multi-family dwellings, including those currently existing, since those
lots run the full depth between the two roadways; and that would leave only four sin-
gle-family homes requiring access from Perkins Place.
Mr. Tom Smith, 213 Perkins, stated he has had his vehicles hit three times in a
hit-and-run situation. He noted he also has two small girls about whom he is concerned
because of the traffic from the apartments which utilize this roadway.
City Manager Wysocki noted that in the written proposal submitted, the petitioners
have requested that this issue be resolved by the end of this calendar year. He then re-
minded the Commission that the proposals submitted will result in costs which have not
been accommodated in the budget for this fiscal year. He further reminded the Commission
that paving of Perkins Avenue through a special improvement district has been included in
the five-year Capital Improvement Program; however, it has not yet surfaced as a high
priority item.
The City Manager then noted that to provide access to North Rouse Avenue as
proposed by Mr. Svehla would require a cooperative effort by a couple of property own-
ers; and he is not sure that could be accommodated. He then suggested that the Com-
mission refer this matter to staff for further review and consideration in approximately one
month.
Mayor Hawks stated that this issue will be scheduled for an evening meeting. as
requested by Mr. Svehla in his written presentation, to accommodate the neighborhood.
Request for permission to address Commission re proposal for use of UCT Building - Sue
Harkin, Recreation Superintendent
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission information from Recreation
Superintendent Suzette Harkin regarding her proposal for use of the UCT Building.
Recreation Superintendent Sue Harkin stated that for several years, parents, the
School District and social workers have encouraged the provision of after-school recreati.on
programs for children. She noted that a group, through the D.U.I. Task Force, has
sought and received a $57,175.00 Montana Department of Institutions Community Youth Ac-
tivity Program Demonstration Grant, with $8,650 for after-school recreation programs to be
provided through the City's Recreation Department.
Superintendent Harkin stated that the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board submit-
ted a proposal for use of the Old Elks Building from 3: 30 to 5: 30 p.m. on Monday through
Thursday during the period September through May and from 1 :00 to 4:00 p.m. on Tues-
days during June through August to the Executive Board of the United Commercial Travel-
ers for these after-school activities; and the Board rejected the proposal. The Superin-
tendent then formally requested that the Commission break its lease with the United Com-
.

mercial Travelers, thus allowing the Recreation Department to use the Old Elks Building
for this new program.
Recreation Superintendent Harkin stated that the program to be provided under this
grant will fund after-school recreational activities as well as other activities which are al-
ternatives to drug abuse. She stated that the Old Elks Building would provide an ideal
location for the recreation activities on the schedule outlined above; and other groups,
such as the ski club, would be able to utilize the building during those hours as well.
Superintendent Harkin stated one of the major complaints she has heard over the
years concerns the difficulty of finding those who have rented the building. She stated
that under her proposal to break the lease and return the building to the City's jurisdic-
tion, the Recreation Department would manage use, rental and clean-up of the building.
Responding to Mayor Hawks, the Superintendent stated that the Recreation and
Parks Advisory Board has had proposals from various groups that would be willing to take
over management and rental of the building; however, the Board feels that the City should
maintain that responsibility for at least one year. She stated that the Recreation Depart-
ment would collect deposit and rental fees, which would then be remitted to the Director of
Finance.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that the $8,650 portion of the grant is for
personnel and supplies for the after-school recreation program.
Commissioner Frost asked if the listing of projected costs for repair and mainte-
nance of the building is based on bids or estimates from contractors.
Superintendent Harkin responded that she has not contacted any contractors to
date. She then indicated that the estimates contained in this proposal are based on dis-
cussions with the Building Official.
Recreation Program Supervisor Mary Boling stated that the after-school recreation
programs to be offered under this grant will provide a healthy alternative for school age
chi Idren. She briefly highlighted some of the indoor and outdoor activities which will be
included in the program, noting that older teens will be involved in teaching and monitor-
ing these activities. She indicated that the summer activities are not as intense as the
winter activities under this grant.
Mr. Harry Kinyon, Chairman of the Executive Committee for the United Commercial
Travelers, stated the UCT is now in its fifth five-year lease of the subject bui Iding, after
the City first tried to assume responsibility for renting and maintaining the facility. He
noted that the names and telephone numbers of those responsible for rental of the building
are posted on the window of the building; and they are available at the Chamber of Com-
merce and City Hall. He then stated that to date over 7,000 people have used the build-
ing so far this year for various activities; and projected that 12,000 to 13,000 will use it
07-23-90

during this calendar year.
Mr. Kinyon then read the proposal submitted to the Executive Committee in May, as
well as the Committee's response. He noted that the proposal from the Recreation Depart-
ment was to use the building from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday
during September through May and 1:00 p.m. to 4: 00 p.m. on Tuesdays during June
through August. He noted the proposal further included waiving of the rental fee, with
the Department paying an agreed upon percentage of the utility costs.
Mr. Kinyon noted that after reviewing the proposal, the Committee's response was a
negative one based on several factors. He noted' that at the present time, the United
Commercial Travelers rents the building from 10:00 a.m. one day to 10:00 a.m. the next
day. This allows time for decorating and any other preparation that is necessary for the
event, and allows time for clean up after the event. He stated that someone from the UCT
then inspects the building, making sure that it is ready for the next group.
Mr. Kinyon stated that the building is used quite extensively during the week; and
the proposal by the Recreation Department would result in loss of a substantial amount of
community use of the building, as well as the attendant rental fees. He noted that the
building would probably not be available until 6: 30 p.m.; and someone from UCT would
need to check it every night to make sure it was ready for another group.
Mr. Harry Kinyon then stated that United Commercial Travelers has not made any
money on rental of the building--in fact, last year they used $2,000 from their budget to
cover the costs of maintaining the facility. He reminded the Commission that in addition to
maintaining the facility, the UCT pays the City a $200 monthly rental fee. He noted that
major changes would be required in the building before it could be used for the af-
ter-school recreation program proposed. He then noted that UCT provides the building at
no cost to some groups, such as Reach and Special Olympics, as well as sometimes spon-
soring a party or other activities.
Mr. Kinyon suggested that other buildings in Bozeman may be more appropriate for
the proposed after-school recreation program. He noted one alternative might be the
schools, which are already heated and maintained.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Swanson, Mr. Kinyon stated there
might be common ground, where both the UCT and after-school recreation activities could
be housed in that same facility.
Mr. Paul Schofield, member of the UCT Executive Committee and professional archi-
tect, cautioned the Commission that if use of the building is changed as proposed, all of
the Uniform Building Code regulations must be met; and that would result in a substantial
number of changes in the structure.
Ms. Kathy Barnes, Reach, Inc. , stated she works with developmentally disabled

adults. She noted that the activities and parties provided by the UCT and the ability to
use the facility at no cost are beneficial to those individuals. She noted that if the bui Id-
ing changes hands, those opportunities would no longer be avai lable. She then en-
couraged the Commission to not break the lease with the United Commercial Travelers.
Ms. Marianne Baumberger stated there is a real need for the program which is be-
ing proposed by the Recreation Department. She noted that Bozeman is growing; and
many parents work, thus the number of Illatch key kidsll is increasing. She stated those
children need a healthy alternative for after-school hours; and this program provides that
al ternative. She stated appreciation for what UCT has done for the community over the
years; however, she stated she feels it is important to consider the children of the commu-
nity at this time.
Mr. Steve Weil, member of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, stated the
Board is not interested in displacing an existing group, but is willing to work with that
group in an effort to find common ground which would allow both activities. He then stat-
ed the Board feels it is the City's responsibility to continually provide facilities for ex-
panding recreational needs in the community. He then stated that he feels the subject
bui Id ing can be put to better use, particularly through allowing recreational uses at the
facility.
Mr. Weil stated that complications would be incurred at the schools that would not
be at the UCT building.
Mr. Bill Kolwyck, member of the UCT Executive Committee, questioned how the City
could fund maintenance of the building if it breaks the lease. He noted that the building
currently needs painting; and all of the windows need caulking. He further noted that
the Fire Department was asked to make an inspection of the bui Iding; however, the results
of that inspection have not been released. He stated that the building would need to be
upgraded to meet various building codes, which could involve substantial expense.
Mr. Reeves Petroff, member of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, stated he
feels it is important to meet the recreational needs of the community, particularly for the
school age children. He noted that children, especially "latch key kids" are dealing with
the pressures of drug and alcohol abuse; and this program will provide a healthy alterna-
tive. He then noted that it is essential to find a building in which to conduct these activ-
ities; and the Recreation Department staff has worked diligently to find such a facility.
Mr. Harry Kinyon suggested that Emerson School might provide a possible solution
to the problem, providing a space for the proposed after-school recreation program.
Responding to questions raised, Dr. Bryan Dunn, Assistant Superintendent of
Schools, stated that the School Board has taken no official position on this issue. He not-
ed that one of the school buildings would probably be available each night for this pro-

gram; however, school activities would take precedence. He stated that the classrooms
would probably not lend themselves to this type of function; however, the multi-purpose
rooms and gymnasiums would probably suffice.
Recreation Superintendent Sue Harkin stated that Recreation Program Supervisor
Mary Boling checked with the Principal in each elementary school and found that the mul-
ti-purpose room and gymnasium are not available on a regular basis.
Recreation Program Supervisor Boling stated that a bus will transport the children
from the schools to the Old Elks Building. She noted that she feels it more appropriate to
have all activities at one location, rather than having them in multiple locations on a spo-
radic basis.
Questions from Commissioners garnered the following information. The demon-
stration grant is guaranteed for a one-year period. with an additional two years to be
funded if the first year is successful. A total of about 300 children would be involved in
the program, counting the older children that would work in the program, over the four-
day period each week. This would be divided into approximately 75 children every day,
with different children being involved each day of the week.
Ms. Daria Joyner, Executive Director of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,
stated there is a community need for a facility like the Old Elks Club that groups can rent
as needed. She also stated she does not believe that one program should be thrown out
so another can be accommodated.
City Manager Wysocki suggested that a committee be formed to discuss this issue
further to determine if a compromise can be reached. He suggested that two Commission-
ers serve to mediate the issue, with two UCT Executive Committee members. two Recreation
and Parks Advisory Board members and the Recreation Superintendent serving on that
committee. He and Commissioner Frost then indicated a willingness to serve on the com-
mittee.
Mr. Harry Kinyon noted that the Commissioners are to serve to mediate the issue.
He then questioned whether Commissioner Frost will be neutral, given his strong interest
in the City's recreation program.
Commissioner Frost responded that he feels he can remain neutral; however, if ei-
ther of the parties is uncomfortable with his serving. he will step aside and let another
Commissioner fill that position.
