Minutes:
Minutes of the June 3, 2010 meeting were approved as written by a motion from
Dan Koch, seconded by Judy Goldsby. Motion carried by a 7 -0 vote.
Public Input:
There was no public input.
Home Occupation Appeal:
Adam and Megan Wall from 504 Santa Fe Drive applied for a Home Occupation at their
address for running a battery reconditioning business out of their garage. Application
was denied approval from the Public Works Director, Fire Department Inspector and
Planning Department due to potential danger of chemicals used in the process. The
applicant requested an appeal through the Planning Board, as per City Code.
Adam Wall spoke regarding his Home Occupation application.
He stated that he and his wife have learned a great deal about batteries in the 6 months
they began looking into the battery industry.
Adam handed out information on the company called Battery Doctors. Battery Doctors
created an environmentally friendly non -toxic chemical that can be used to recondition
and recharge batteries. The chemical when added to viable dead batteries, and then
recharged, makes the batteries as good as new.
1
Adam stated there is no removal of the sulfuric acid from the battery and no taking apart
of the battery. There is only the adding of chemical to the battery. He will be going to a
5 -day training to learn more about the reconditioning/recharging process.
Adam realizes that the main concern when recharging batteries is the possibility of a
battery exploding and after researching information on reconditioning and recharging
batteries he learned that batteries can explode when using a high - voltage charging
process and overcharging a battery can lead to gassing which can cause an explosion.
The process of recharging that Adam will be using is called Pro Charge. It was developed
by the Battery Doctors Company. The process uses a slow charge and the charging
system shuts off when the battery reaches the appropriate voltage. So, there is no
overcharging of the batteries. Over charging of the battery is what causes gassing.
Adam stated that if gassing does occur, it will be minimal. The process will be done in
their attached garage where the air gets into readily and regularly for ventilation.
Adam asked the board to consider approving his business for a city license to do business
in the City of Laurel as a mobile business if the board does not approve the home
occupation request. That way he could do the reconditioning and charging of batteries on
customers' business site.
Adam asked the Board if they had any questions.
Dick Fritzler asked why he wanted to run this type of business out of their home. In
Dick's opinion this type of business should be located in an industrial part of Laurel.
Adam stated that his initial plan is to start doing this business part time with him
continuing with his full time job. Later, when he can afford to, he hopes to work the
business into a full time venture.
Adam stated that his primary objective is to recharge industrial and construction batteries
in the field (at the customers' places of business) for his customers. He cannot bring the
larger batteries to his garage due to the size of the batteries. Adam stated that his initial
plan is not to have more than 20 batteries in his garage at one time. He is only capable of
recharging 12 batteries at a time.
David Schreder stated that this type of a business would be hard for the board to police.
Judy Goldsby spoke. She did some research on this type of business and called some
Billings businesses that recharge batteries. She asked Adam if he has to add chemical's
to the battery wouldn't he have to remove some chemical from the battery prior to that.
Adam stated that depends on the level of the chemical in the battery. A lot of the older
batteries have depleted levels of chemicals. Each battery is different and there may be
times he has to remove sulfuric acid. If he has to remove sulfuric acid he would use a 5
2
gallon bucket and find a way of disposing of it. He would not pour it down any drain and
knows that there are ways of safely disposing of the sulfuric acid.
Dick Fritzler stated that there are batteries that have corrosion of sulfuric acid on the
outside and wonders how the batteries will be cleaned up prior to the recharging process.
Adam stated that the Battery Doctors have told him there is a simple process for cleaning
up the batteries but he doesn't know what that process is at this time.
Dan Koch asked how the 20 batteries will get to his garage. Will there be a large amount
of trucks coming and going in a residential neighborhood to deliver them?
Adam stated that the only batteries he would be capable of bringing to his home are the
smaller car batteries. He would use his car to bring them to his home.
Greg Nelson asked Adam if he has looked into Hazardous Material permits for
transporting batteries.
Adam stated that at this time he has not checked into it.
Greg Nelson asked how close Adam's neighbors are from where his garage is?
Adam stated that he has 2 empty lots on each side of them so the closest neighbor
(House -wise) are about 100 feet away.
Greg Nelson asked if there is any other place on his property, besides the attached garage,
where he can store the batteries at.
Adam stated No, but he does have some other ideas of places he can do this if this
application is denied.
John VanAken asked Adam if his garage is attached or detached.
Adam stated that the garage is attached.
John VanAken stated that batteries, even undercharged, are always giving off gases. So,
ventilation is imperative to have inside the building so gasses are not building up within
the building. John went on to state that if you are trained on how to recharge batteries it
can be done safely. John's major concern with this business is that it needs a good
ventilation system if it is going to be in a residence to make it a safe operation.
John went on to say that from the way it sounds Adam doesn't know a lot about how to
operate this type of business yet.
Adam said that from what John VanAken just said, it appears to him (that the board is
saying) he could have this operation in his garage if he had the proper training and
ventilation.
3
John told Adam that is not exactly what he said. John does not feel that it is a safe kind
of a business to run out of a residential house in a residential neighborhood.
David Schreder stated that Adam needed to look into the business more to find if people
operate this type of business in a residential area. And if they do, do they do so out of an
unattached building.
Judy Goldsby stated that she spoke to a gentleman in Billings that is using this type of
process to recharge and recondition batteries. His business is located in the industrial
area of Billings. Judy has concerns about doing this process in a residential area because
of the inability to tell if a battery being processed has any cells that are damaged that
could, upon charging of the battery, result in an explosion. Judy asked the gentleman
with the business in Billings if he would live next to a resident that he knew was doing
this type of a business. The gentleman responded that he absolutely would not!
John VanAken stated that there is a way to test each cell of the battery to determine if
there is damage. John went on to say that there will be times when some acid will have
to be removed from the battery and it could create a hazardous material situation.
Kyle Smith of 314 Wyoming asked to speak to the board. Kyle stated that the concerns
brought up by the board seem valid but when you can go to Ace Hardware and can buy a
120 volt battery charger and keep it in your garage he wonders how Adams operation
would be any different than that. He hasn't heard of any batteries exploding in anyone's
garages.
Judy Goldsby told Kyle that the size of the operation and the quantity of the batteries is
concerning to the board.
Kyle stated that he can understand that.
John VanAken stated that most people have battery chargers in their garages but most of
the batteries people own are in their vehicles and their chargers aren't continually in use.
Judy Goldsby asked Adam how many batteries would be charged at any given time and
how many chargers he planned to use.
Adam stated that he has only one frame that holds up to 12 chargers and batteries at one
time. He believes there is only one switch for the 12 chargers.
John VanAken stated that each battery charger will have to have a disconnect switch to
comply with current electric regulations.
James Caniglia pointed out that in one of the photographs on the Technology information
sheet from Battery Doctors website shows a fire extinguisher next to the work bench that
the battery chargers are sitting on and also "explosive proof' outlets on the wall. James
feels it shows a warning in their own photograph regarding safety issues.
4
Adam stated that from the input of the board he doubts that the home occupation is going
to be approved. He is wondering if it is possible to get a city license for a running a
mobile unit and maintaining an office (only) from his home.
James stated that Adam would have to store his equipment somewhere.
Adam stated that he could store his equipment somewhere else.
James stated that he is concerned that there is no policing these types of businesses within
the City of Laurel. If one person is allowed to do so then everyone would have to be
allowed also.
Dick Fritzler stated that this board has worked hard for many years on the classifications
and implementation of the different zoning types and the different types of businesses
allowed in those zoning types. He feels that by allowing this type of home occupation it
goes against the principles the Planning Board has established and the board would be
deviating outside of regulations the board has put into place.
Judy Goldsby visited the website for Battery Doctors and thinks the technology is good
and would like to be able to use some of it in her own (automotive) business.
Adam asked if he could still get an OK for use of his home as office space only, if no
batteries will be charged at his home.
After a discussion it was decided that Adam's type of business needs to be located in a
retail space in non - residential zone and it wouldn't make sense to allow him to have a
home occupation in his home if he plans to rent retail space for the business.
At this time Adam withdrew his application for consideration of his home occupation and
thanked the board for their time.
Public Hearing — Proposed Addition of Bench Signage into L.M.0 17.62.052
Chairman Siegrist read the rules and regulations of public hearings to the board and
opened the public hearing.
James reminded the board that the City of Laurel now has a demand - response public
transportation system in place that runs in Laurel Monday's through Fridays from 10:00
am to 2:00 pm. This service is provided with little or no cost to the riders and is open to
all ages of riders.
Prior to the start up of the new transportation system James was contacted by Blair and
Associates from Billings requesting that they be allowed to put in benches in various
areas of Laurel that the transportation bus goes to on a regular basis. These benches
would be used for advertisement and placed and maintained at no cost to the city.
5
It was discovered that the L.M.C. does not allow advertisement for businesses on other
businesses property in the entryway zone district. In order to be able to have
advertisement on the benches an addition needs to be added to L.M.C. 17.26.052 as
follows: "Bench signs. Bench signs on benches, controlled or authorized by both the
Laurel Planning Official and Public Works Director. Indemnification clause or proof of
liability insurance may be required by the city ".
The wording was copied out of the City of Billings municipal code book.
There was no public in attendance.
The public hearing was closed at 7:36 pm.
Board discussion.
Judy Goldsby asked how many benches were going to be placed by Blair and Associates.
James stated that they wanted to place up to 30 but will probably only place 12. Blair
and Associates have already been in contact with several businesses in Laurel and many
of the businesses were interested in getting the benches placed.
There are Public Works standard guidelines as to where the benches can be placed on the
sidewalk. Blair and Associates handles bench signage all over Montana and have a solid
reputation regarding bench signage.
A question was brought up on the liability issue. Who would be liable if someone gets
hurt on a broken bench? James stated that would be handled through Blair and
Associates unless the city blatantly didn't report a bench that had a safety issue and the
city was aware of.
The City will receive a certain percentage of the advertisement cost and Blair and
Associates will place, set and maintain the benches at no cost. To James' know the
benches are high quality.
A motion was made by Don Brown, seconded by Judy Goldsby to recommend to the City
Council that they add a section to 17.26.052 "Bench signs. Bench signs on benches,
controlled or authorized by both the Laurel Planning Official and Public Works Director.
Indemnification clause or proof of liability insurance may be required by the city ".
Motion carried by a vote of 7 -0.
Miscellaneous:
David Schreder asked if any walking path or sidewalk is planned for E. Maryland around
the Iron Horse Subdivision. There is a constant stream of kids walking to school and on
that busy street it creates a safety hazard. David reminded James that he was considering
requesting sidewalks be placed through the "Safe Routes to Schools" program.
6
James stated that he met with "Safe Routes to Schools" and believes they are going to get
into the program but the area David is talking about did not score high as being a safety
hazard. The route was viewed as being directly behind the school and there were not
many kids that walked that route.
John VanAken asked if E. 8 Street was being considered.
James stated that very little of that area is in the city limits except for a short stretch. The
program director is looking at E. 6 Street crosswalks that go into curbs that have
disintegrated. The program doesn't have a lot of funds at this time. James hopes that the
city can become involved in the program and gradually be able to fix more areas that are
m need.
There was a short discussion on sidewalk placement requirements and shoveling
sidewalks.
John VanAken asked how the new brewery was placed in the old Laurel Ford building
when the board denied the request for the auction house in the same building.
James stated that zoning table 17.20.010 allows a brewery but an auction house is not
allowed in Central Business District zoning. The board discussed the possibility of
changing the ordinance at the April 2, 2009 meeting, held a public hearing at the May 7,
2009 meeting and recommended to the City Council that they require a special review for
auction houses within the Central Business District.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Cheryll Lund, Secretary

Once independent laboratory tests (conducted by outside laboratories) were
completed and this revolutionary new product was proven to be extremely
successful, ProTec International began to develop the Battery Doctors Program
in overseas markets. Within just a few years. ProTec International established
over 1,600 operators in more that 50 countries.
Due to the tremendous success in these overseas markets, ProTec International
decided to introduce Battery Doctors in the United States. In January of 2003
marketing efforts were taken to establish media and public awareness about the
program and the incredible potential it has in the US.

How to Recondition Discarded Batteries
Battery reconditioning is the process of selecting batteries which still have sound
plates and removing the excess sulphation. PROBAT will help dissolve the hard
crystallized sulfate from the plates and return it into the electrolyte thus re-
establishing the normal battery voltage and amperage.
This is the most effective method for reconditioning a mechanically sound
sulfated battery, because the addition of PROBAT can rejuvenate the cells and
keep hard - crystallized sulphation from forming again and, you do not have to
take the battery apart.
Utilizing the Battery Doctors reconditioning process you will be able to service
your customers with precision and quality work. The reconditioning process
consists of 6 major segments.
Reconditioning segments:
1. Inspect and select the batteries suitable for reconditioning.
Remember your Battery Doctors program will provide you all the necessary
training and support to get started. You receive a step -by -step reconditioning
manual, a 40- minute video describing the Battery Doctors reconditioning method
in detail, and technical support from our staff.
2. Once the batteries have been selected you add the ProBat to remove the
sulphation on the plates. The caps are removed from the top of the battery and
the ProBat is poured in. Maintenance free batteries are reconditioned in the
same manner with a few additional simple steps.
44 On a typical car size battery you will only need to add 3 oz.
x of ProBat to the battery. In fact, during your start-up you
receive enough ProBat to recondition 1,200 regular car size
batteries. This will ensure that you will make a great profit
right from the start.

Baiory Doctors'
Once the ProBat is added, connect your batteries to your ProCharge. The
ProCharge was specifically designed to optimize the effects of ProBat. You can
charge up to 12 batteries at a time with ProCharge. Batteries typically take
between 12 and 24 hours to charge.
4. Inspect the batteries after charging. The batteries should always receive a
final inspection to ensure they are properly charged and meet your quality
standards. Reconditioned batteries can be sold with a warranty up to 18 months.
55. Clean the battery. It is important to present a high quality "new look" when
offering your batteries. Customers expect a clean fresh looking battery and
Battery Doctors will show you how to achieve this quickly and easily.
I Prepare the battery for sale. You will need to complete the final touches by
placing a new label with warranty information on the battery. Labels are included
with your initial order. Our training manual and video identifies all the necessary
details required to prepare the battery.
The Battery Doctors Reconditioning Process is simple to execute and easy to
follow. Once you read the manual, view the video and gain experience
reconditioning batteries you can become one of the successful, proud and
professional BATTERY DOCTORS!
ProBat & ProCharge
As a Battery Doctors operator you will be able to utilize the superior combination
of ProBat® and ProCharge®. This specially developed combination is the key to
your success. Utilizing these two revolutionary technologies along with our
detailed reconditioning process, you will be able to recondition lead acid batteries
of all types and sizes.
ProBat and ProCharge are the key elements in the Battery Doctors System.

BATTERYDOCTORS Safety
Safety is a critical aspect of our program! When the program was being
developed we wanted to ensure that it could be done in a variety of locations,
such as your home, repair shop or a large warehouse. The entire program allows
you to feel safe when reconditioning batteries.
Always follow ALL safety regulations to ensure a safe environment!
Let's review the many safety features that were built into the Battery Doctors
Program:
• ProBat is a Non - Hazardous, biodegradable fluid that is safe and does not
have acid in it.
• ProCharge is a safe slow amp charging system that prevents brittle plates
from deteriorating and is safe to use with typical home electrical outlets.
• ProCharge was designed so that each station operates independently.
Lights indicate proper charging, a defective battery, maintaining charge
and improper connections. ProCharge prevents overcharging by shutting
off automatically.
• The reconditioning system was developed so that you do NOT have to
take the battery apart.
• The system also does NOT require you to remove any of the acid
therefore you do not have any hazardous material waste or storage.
• Our manual and video will teach you the proper and safe methods to
recondition and operate your business.
The Battery Doctors Program is safe and easy to follow. All safety regulations
should be followed. You should always consider safety for you and your
employees above all else.
