the opportunity to come to Laurel and hope that we can be a great addition to an already amazing
community.

5. Public Hearing: Cassie Page Variance Request - 319 3rd Avenue
Judy stated that what was listed on the application and what was listed on Montana Cadastral was
not matching. Asked Cassie for clarification. Cassie stated it is approximately 1900 Sq. ft on 2
levels. Judy asked what sq footage the main level was and if it had a full basement. Cassie did not
have exact footage for main level and stated that the basement is only a partial basement She
believed main floor is approximately 1000 sq ft. She stated that the upstairs has 3 bedrooms. Judy
thanked her for the clarification.
Karen presented the history behind the variance request. Building department was contacted about
the desire to do an addition onto the back portion of house. The house was built prior to the current
setbacks that adopted, the addition that they were wanting would be in line with the existing house.
This would be a 6' setback from side adjacent to street rather than the now required 20'. Therefore,
Cassie came in and requested a variance from the required 20' setback. Building and planning
departments have no issue with the addition as it is not affecting neighboring property, clear vision
triangles or sight obstructions. Planning Department does recommend approval of this variance
request. Karen did go over the 7 items outlined in LMC 17.60.020 — Land Use variances issuance
and denial (attached to these minutes).
Judy called for Proponents.
Cassie Page — Would just like to add onto existing house, if required to meet the setbacks it would
be in the middle of the yard, and they would be unable to add onto their home. Therefore, they are
asking for approval of their request.
Judy called for any more proponents, second call for proponents. None heard.
Judy called for Opponents, second call for opponents, third call for opponents. None heard, public
hearing closed.
Board discussion. Roger asked about the addition being 17' x 11' will this be a conventional 8' tall
addition? Cassie stated that it will only be one story. Just wanting to add a closet and bathroom.
Jon asked when they planned on starting. Cassie stated as soon as they are allowed.
Jon motioned to approve; Evan seconded.
Motion passes 6-0. Variance will move on to City Council.
6. Public Hearing: Your Pie Special Review - 102 S. 1st Avenue
Karen explained the correction of the address of the property, therefore explaining the difference
on application and staff report. Karen presented the staff report concerning the Special review
application.
Judy stated that there did not appear to be any representatives of Your Pie present to speak to.
She does have a question about what appears to be a drive thru as part of their building plan?
Karen stated that she had not seen any plans for how they plan on renovating the building. If the
drive thru is kept it would not be a point to pick up alcohol. Karen's understanding is that the
alcohol served is strictly on premises sale and consumption. Karen stated that if the drive thru
window was kept it would be for pizza order pick up.
Gavin stated that it does not appear that they will have that much seating space. Karen stated it
did appear that they were planning on putting an awning on the front of the building, this maybe
for some additional outdoor seating. Again, there have been no building plans submitted at this
time. At time of plan, review it would be determined if the extension would be allowed or not.
Judy asked if that would make a difference in the availability of alcohol, and would it be
addressed then? Karen stated that it would not change anything as to the serving of alcohol. Dan
stated that he believed that there was a code that determined the amount of parking spaces you
would need based on the occupant load/capacity. How is this going to be addressed. It was
discussed that there is a lot more parking in the back, plus the 10 spots up front. Karen did state
that Kurt Markegard had been the person on contact with the owners, however he was unable to
attend the meeting tonight. The parking would need to be addressed when building plans were
submitted. Roger asked if any plans had been received yet? Karen stated that she has not seen
any. 'Roger stated that with having no plans submitted and nobody present to speak on their
behalf that it be denied at this time until more information is given.
Judy called for any proponents three times. None heard.
Judy called for any opponents three times. None Heard. Public hearing closed.
Judy asked for clarification that the special review that was before the board was only for the sell
and consumption of alcohol on premises. Karen stated that yes it was only for the sell and
consumption of alcohol on premises. Judy asked for any other discussion.
Gavin motioned to approve; Jon seconded.
Motion carries 5-1, Roger Giese opposed.
Old Business
Judy announced that Karen Courtney would be leaving the City's employ. Karen stated that it has
been wonderful working with the Planning Board. Karen will be going to work for the State of
Montana as a multi -discipline building inspector. Last day with the city will be May 27`x'.
