HOME OCCUPATIONS: Ray Hatfield, 420 Cedar, requests a home occupation for a taxidermy business. -Ray stated this would be a bird, fish, and animal taxidermy, no other. Jim Straw asked if this is downstream a full-time occupation. Mr. Hatfield stated that although he is currently unemployed, he is seeking permanent employment of a different nature. Tools - mostly his hands. Neighbors know about this but no comment, in fact not too many neighbors. Skins are salted for preservation and shipped to Kallispel for tanning. Jim Straw seemed favorably inclined. Bus Roberts saw no traffic problem. Mike Hoppel, 819 7th Avenue, requests a home occupation for an upholstery business. Mike wants to start an upholstery shop in a two- car garage. Gerald Shay states that the ordinance is specific that there may be no sales other than material used in work. Otto Preikszas asked about extra trash. Marv Carter said if necessary then there would.be an extra can and fee. Mike proposes only temporary occupancy, say 4 months.

This is located west of Sth.Avenue and on 7th Street VV May 10, 1984 Planning Board minutes extended. City engineer says City can and will culvert drainage ditch which exists midway in 7th Street extended west of 8th. He would side- • walk and curb both sides of this property in conformance with existing checkerboard pattern east of 8th Avenue. Jim'Straw asked, "How would you access this property?" Ans: The third unit in back can be accessed from vicinity of West School. Hardship claimed due to existing services. The planner is against since it is in contradiction to R6000 zoning. FILE #PB 84-05 S &.S SUBDIVISION REPLAT: Jim Worthington made the presen- tation of the replat. No protestors. No comments. FILE #PB 84-08 DeCARLO SUBDIVISION REPLAT: Jerry Cormier presented the replat. This is located SW of the Golf..Course cornering on the Big Ditch, east of Wold Road and SW of Fairway Drive.. Cumin Associates pointed out that numbering..-on-the plat makes this-confusing. It needs to be corrected. Land not particularly suited to agriculture since the area is gravelled. Cumin called attention to fact road platted NE of plat includes Big Ditch but this is not being subdivided. Jim Straw leans to wider dedication of road along ditch. Someone pointed out that the Big Ditch is here an embankment so view is not a factor for site. Purpose of this plat is to divide two lots into five for resale. The road along ditch is wide enough to construct the road. Mr. Cormier stated the road is outside the juris- diction of this request. Mr. Russell says there is sufficient width for the road and County surveyor has no plans to improve it. Road is only for incidental useage now. Cumin wants to go for 10 ft. session. Russell insists there is sufficient space now. Cumin advises conditional approval of replat subject to letter from County surveyor that there is enough space for a road. • FILE #PB 84-11 MURRAY HEIGHTS PARTIAL ANNEXATION: No representatives present.

After some discussion, a committee of the Board was appointed to meet with the Laurel Board or its subcommittee in order to develop a mutually agreeable adjustment.

BOX 10 PLANNING _ PHONE: 6294791 DEPARTMENT May 9, 1984 Board of County Commissioners Yellowstone County Courthouse Billings, MT 59101 Gentlemen: This letter is in response to the proposal of the City-County Planning Task Force (as described in the Billings Gazette-see attached) to abolish the. city-county planning area agreement now in effect between Laurel and Billings. As representatives of the people in Laurel and this adjacent Laurel planning area, we do not want our on-going planning program changed. It has worked well and to the satisfaction of people in our city-county area for many years. Furthermore, if we are not mistaken, it has worked well for the Board of County Commissioners. There is a lot.of development and land use change occurring in the existing • Laurel City-County Planning Area. This Board has been and is able to admin- ister this planning-related activity--we feel--very adequately as required by State law and in good cooperation with the City of Laurel and the Board of County Commissioners. We realize planning problems exist elsewhere in the County and around Billings. However, these are not occurring in our City-County planning area. Eliminating the County.planning area around Laurel from the juris- diction of this well established and operating City-County Planning Board would completely disrupt the growth planning already in process for Laurel and this dynamic part of the County, destroy the established budgeting pro- cess, largely invalidate our City-County Comprehensive Plan, and completely confuse the established process for subdivision and zoning review on-going in our area. We hope you will consider our position in dealing with your County plan- ning problems elsewhere and not eliminate the long standing, responsive, and smooth working agreement between us. Sincerely, John Smith Chairman • •. Z-B wed., may 9. 1994 C The Billings Gazette Planning proposal ? delayed???? By ROSIN BULNIM of T'be Gazette Staff countywide planning board.
