Gary Ebbighausen described improvements to be made. No others
wanting to speak for the project. Cumin Associates says the
principal use of zone is within regulations. Barbara Smith
asked about adequacy of sewer line which she stated was put in
by residents along 4th Street. Robert Smith mentioned 2 ditches
one a drain ditch which problems should be resolved.. Mr.
Ebbighausen implied water line is adequate and drainage will
be addressed.
Motion from Otto Preikszas to allow the owner to proceed
pending permits and resolving problems-with City. Recommendation
will go now to Council for a public hearing on May 17th.
PUBLIC HEARING ZONE CHANGE MARTIN ETAL PB 483-6: A zone change
has been requested on Lots 7 through 15, Block 21, Laurel Realty,
2nd Subdivision (entire half block facing 1st Avenue), from
R6000 zone to allow Residential Professional (RP). One owner
proposes a dental clinic. The properties are located at or near
519 1st Avenue, Laurel.
Jack Martin wishes to sell three lots to.Dr. Michael Wheeler
who wants to build a clinic on three lots at 519 lst Avenue.
Alleges some precedent in Hoklin Clinic south corner at 1st
Avenue and 4th Street. Dr. Wheeler has no specific immediate
plans. Cumin Associates says 2.07 acres are required for zone
change. Places-presently in place were before passage of zoning
ordinance. Planner insists the board cannot act contrary to
ordinance 17.32.020.
Opponents: John.M. Strecker lives opposite-site and wants to
know about increases in traffic. First Avenue is busy enough.
Mrs. Hackert Phillips said at a council meeting of several
years ago she heard that the objective is to keep 1st Avenue
residential above 3rd Avenue.
Bobbie Lefler spoke against as did Russell Stadalman who lives
directly behind.
Harold Williams of 519..Montana spoke about desirability of
keeping area residential.
Mr. Martin rebutted that this is Residential Professional, not
commercial. Mrs. Phillips owns property being used as commercial
within a block or so of site.
0
Mr. Williams suggested that this may be a "foot in the door" to
wider development..
Mrs. Phillips says.her house is readily convertible to a house.
Mr. Shay of the Planning Board suggested that Residential Professional
zone has narrowly permitted uses.
Motion from Gerald Shay to deny, seconded by Ed LaPrath.
Mr. LaPrath sited 24th Street West in Billings as a problem •
area and suggested to approve would create problems. Mr.
Bradley said problem there was only one side of street was
zoned and the other side of street is suing. Motion carried.
This is a recommendation that will now go to Council for public
hearing on May 17th.

HOME OCCUPATIONS: Michael N. Rolison dba RAM Enterprises of
1038 7th Avenue not present, so no action taken by Board.
Don A. Kessler dba Kessler Decorating of 1009 7th Avenue present.
This business involves decorating, painting, and wall papering.
No paint for sale. Ladders, brushes, basic tools only things
stored on premises.. Basically a service is commodity for
sale. Jim Straw asked and Joe Bradley answered most anyone
needs licenses. Cumin Associated recommends disapproval due
to tendency to store tag ends.
Motion from-R. M. Williams, seconded by Jim Straw, to
recommend approval. Carried.

enough money to rent downtown. Gerald Shay pointed out a
f small wooden sign permitted. Fire Department approval needed.
Cumin Associates, true to form, found problems. Joe Bradley
moved to deny, seconded by Bus Roberts. Jim Straw questioned
whether this is a 'sole worker enterprise. If business grows
it will be more. 4 votes for denial, 3 votes to grant. Motion
carried to recommend denial.

Shay. Approved.

17.56.010 Intent Specifically, these criteria and guidelines are designed
to preserve existing and establish new compatible land uses around air-
ports, to allow land use not associated with high population concentration,
to minimize exposure of residential uses to critical aircraft noise areas,
to avoid danger from aircraft crashes, and to regulate the area around the
airport to minimize danger to public health, safety, or property from the
operation of the airport; to prevent obstruction to air navigation, and to
aid in realizing the goals, objectives, and policies of the Laurel Compre-
hensive Plan and the Laurel Airport Master Plan. These guidelines will con-
sider among other things:
A. The safety of the airport users and persons and property
in the vicinity of the airport;
B. The character of the flying operations conducted or ex-
pected to be conducted at the airport;
C. The magnitude and duration of noise produced by aircraft
and the number of aircraft flying;
D. The nature of the terrain;
E. The future development of the airport, and
F. The views and mandates of the federal agency charged with
the fostering of civil aeronautics as to the aerial surfaces
necessary for safe flying operations.
(Derivation of section: 67 -6 -201, MCA, 1979)
17.56.001 Definitions For the purpose of this airport zoning ordinance
certain words and terms used herein are defined in this chapter.
17.56.005 Airport area of influence is an area encompassing the flight
pattern and the area located between the 55 and 65 Ldn contours as de-
picted on the Ldn contour map.
17.56.020 Airport elevation is recorded and accepted as 3545 feet above
mean sea level (MSL).
17.56.030 Airport property boundary refers to the area presently owned
or leased by the City of Laurel for use in the daily operation of the
airport. Proposed airport property boundary refers to any areas to be
acquired by the City for future development and protection of the facility.
17.56.040 FAR Part 77 (Federal Aviation Regulation) refers to those
regulations which delineate imaginary surfaces as designated by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to control the height of objects,
both natural and man -made, which may affect navigable airspace around
the airport.
17.56.050 Flight patterns are an area one mile on each side of the run-
way centerline and one mile off each runway end. It also includes that
portion of an area 10,000 feet by 4,000 feet beginning 200 feet off of
each end of runway 3 -21 and extending beyond the one mile length.
17.56.060 Ldn (day /night sound level) is the noise measuring system which
was utilized to predict the impact and impact area resulting from the
present and projected airport operations. The Ldn system that was util-
ized describes the environment in terms of contours which connect points
of equal noise exposure intensity. (The magnitude of the noise intensity
within the 60 Ldn contour is comparable with normal conversation.)
17.56.070 Primary surface is a surface longitudinally centered on a run-
way; and extends 200 feet beyond each end of a runway. The primary sur-
face is 500 feet wide for runway 3 -21 and 250 feet wide for runway 13 -31.
The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the ele-
vation of the nearest point on the runway centerline.
17.56.080 Runway layout refers to the orientation of the runways based
on magnetic north; the magnetic declination for the field is 16 East.
Proposed runway layout includes future extensions on existing runways
and new runways not yet constructed.
17.56.090 Structure is an object, including a mobile object, construct-
ed or installed by man, including but without limitation, buildings,
towers, cranes, smokestacks, earth formations, and overhead transmission
lines.
17.56.100 Tree is any object of natural growth.
17.56.110 City- County Planning Board to act as zoning commission -- duties
The City- County Planning Board shall act as the airport zoning commission
whose duty it shall be to recommend the boundaries of the various original
districts, appropriate regulations to be enforced therein, and to propose
amendments or changes in either the boundaries or regulations as applicable.
(Derivation of section: 67 -6 -202 (2) MCA)
17.56.120 Administration of Regulations and Approval of Uses
The regulations shall be administered by the City- County Planning Board which
shall also have the authority to approve or disapprove proposed uses within
the airport zone unless overruled by the Airport Board within two weeks of the
date of the decision made by the City- County Planning Board.
17.56.130 Property covered by these Regulations
These regulations will affect the property which lies outside of the airport
boundary but inside of the airport area of influence.
17.56.140 Districts Created
In order to carry out the intent of these regulations, the Laurel Airport
Area of Influence is hereby divided into the following basic airport zones.
Ldn Zones
Flight patterns
17.56.150 Airport Land Use Map
The boundaries of the airport zones are shown on the Laurel Airport Zoning Map
/'1
•
which is filed with the City Clerk. That map, along with all official
amendments thereto, is made part of these regulations.
17.56.160 Use Restrictions
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these regulations, no use may be
made of land or water within any district established by this regulation
in such a manner as to create electrical interference with navigational
signals or radio communication between the airport and aircraft, make it
difficult for pilots to distinguish between the airport lights and other
lights, result in glare in the eyes of the pilots using the airport, im-
pair visibility in the vicinity of the airport or otherwise in any way
create a hazard or endanger the landing, takeoff, or maneuvering of air-
craft intended to use the airport.

17.56.180 Airport Zone Height Limitations (Part 77, FAR)
In order to carry out the intent of these regulations, there are hereby
established imaginary surfaces for the purpose of limiting height. An
area located in more than one of the following zones is limited by the
more restrictive zone. No structure or tree shall be erected, altered,
allowed to grow, or be maintained above the following imaginary surfaces:
1. Utility Runway Visual Approach Zone - slopes upward 20 feet
horizontally for each foot vertically, beginning at the end of
and at the same elevation and width as the primary surface and
extending to a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the ex-
tended runway centerline, with a lateral width of 1,250 feet.
2. Utility Runway Non - Precision Instrument Approach Zone - slopes
upward twenty (20) feet horizontally for each foot vertically
beginning at the end of and at the same elevation and width as
the primary surface and extending to a horizontal distance of
5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline, with a lat-
eral width of 2,000 feet.
3. Transitional Zone - slopes upward and outward seven feet hor-
izontally for each foot vertically beginning at the sides of
and at the same elevation and width as the primary surface and
the approach zones, and extending to a height of 150 feet above
the airport elevation. In addition to the foregoing, there are
established height limits sloping upward and outward seven feet
horizontally for each foot vertically beginning at the sides
of and at the same elevation as the approach zones, and ex-
tending to where they intersect with the conical surface.
4. Horizontal Zone - a horizontal plane 150 feet above the estab-
lished airport elevation, the perimeter of which is construct-
ed by swinging arcs of 5,000 feet from the center of each end
of the primary surface of each runway or each airport and con-
necting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs.
5. Conical Zone - slopes upward and outward 20 feet horizontally
for each foot vertically beginning at the periphery of the
horizontal zone and extending to a height of 350 feet above
the airport elevation.
17.056.190 Non Conforming Uses
1. Regulations Not Retroactive. These regulations shall not
be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other
changes or alterations of any structure or tree not conform-
ing to the regulations as of the effective date hereof
Nothing herein contained shall
require any change in construction, alteration, or intended
use of any structure, the construction or alteration of
which was begun prior to the effective date of these regu-
lations, and is diligently prosecuted to completion.
2. Hazard Marking and Lighting. Notwithstanding (1) above,
the owner of any non - conforming structure nr tree is here-
by required to permit the City of Laurel, at its own expense,
to install, operate,and maintain thereon such markers and
lights as the Airport Board may deem necessary to indicate
n
•
•
to airmen the presence of airport hazards; provided that the
city does not by taking such action waive any right to exer-
cise eminent domain or abate as a nuisance any such non-
conforming structure.
17.056.200 Uses
1. Future uses. No person shall make any material change in
the use of land and no person shall erect, alter, plant or
otherwise establish any structure or tree in any zone hereby
created unless approval has been applied for and granted.
Applications for approvals shall be made to the City- County
Planning Board. Each application for an approval shall in-
dicate the purpose for which the approval is desired with
sufficient data to allow the City- County Planning Board
to determine whether the resulting use, structure, or tree would
conform to these regulations. If such determination is in the
affirmative, the approval shall be granted, unless overruled by
the Airport Board within two weeks of the date of the decision
of the Planning Board.
2. Existing Use. No approval shall be granted that would allow
the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or allow
a non - conforming use, structure,or tree to be made or become
higher or a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on
the effective date of these regulations or any amendment
thereto or than it is when the application for an approval is
made.
3. Non - conforming Uses Abondoned or Destroyed. Whenever the City -
County Planning Board determines that a non - conforming structure
or tree has been abandoned or more than 80 per cent torn down,
destroyed, deteriorated, or decayed, no approval shall be
granted that would allow such structure or tree to exceed the
applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from these regu-
lations.
4. Variances. Any person desiring to erect or increase the
height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree,
or use his property not in accordance with these regulations
may apply to the City- County Planning Board for a variance
from such regulations. Such variance shall be allowed where
a literal application or enforcement of these regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship
and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public
interest but do substantial•justice and be in accordance
with the spirit of these regulations and of the enabling
statute.
5. Hazard Marking and Lighting. In granting any approval or var-
iance, the City- County Planning Board
may, if such action is deemed advisable to effectuate the
purposes of these regulations and be reasonable in the circum-
stances, so condition such approval or variance as to require
the owner of the structure to permit the City of Laurel, at its
own expense, to install, operate, and maintain thereon such
markers and lights as may from time to time be necessary to indi-
cate to airmen the presence of an airport hazard.

6. Will any equipment be used in the home occupation which creates noise,
vibration, glare, fumes, odors, or electrical interference, or will
any equipment or process be used which creates visual or audible
interference in any radio or television receivers off the premises?
Information
Home occupations are deemed to be both site specific and owner specific;
thus, the use of a portion of a structure as a home occupation will not
permit a subsequent owner an automatic home occupation designation.

Ed LaPrath asked about Langvey Subdivision and asked about pro-
vision for previously filed plats. Otto Preikszas pointed out
that zone is strictly to inform developers they are in an Airport
Zoned area to avoid future objections. The Planning Board recom-
mends acceptance of the map and recommends appropriate regulations
to be enforced. This will go before the Council April 19th.

in since owner is free to build as he pleases. Jim Straw
suggested that if we get waivers on area to be annexed, that
is all we are concerned with.
Otto Preikszas recommended that we recommend annexation
with the City, Cumin Associates and developer to agree on
waiver. Accepted.
Recommendation from Cumin Associates that they draw up a
guideline for annexation. Up to now an informal process has
been used. Ed LaPrath held forth at length about need for a
delineated procedure for annexation. Joe Bradley seems to be
for an ordinance outlining annexation procedure. Cumin Assoc.
to proceed with detailed procedure for presentation and review
by Board.
STREET LIGHTS: It was pointed out by Margie Gough that
provision for installation of street lights already exists
in our zoning procedure but lacks provision for maintenance.
HOME OCCUPATIONS: Form was presented by Cumin Associates.
Joe Bradley suggested requirement that a representative of
applicant be present at hearing. Item 5 in list should include
storage area. Sketch of area should be required. Form returned
to Cumin Associates for revision.
PROGRESS REPORT: Cumin Associates presented their quarterly
planning activities report for the period from 12/15/82 to 3/10/83.
For the record, the Board does not develop parks, run or
have responsibility therefore. The Board merely selects among
suggested sites with preliminary study for approval by the City
Council. (Duestion was raised where park money resides -- in county
or in city custody.
Discussion of what is or is not Nutting Drain. Ed LaPrath
contends the open ditch we can see is not the Nutting Drain. How
is drainage district reactivated?
Meeting adjourned at 8:57 p.m.
