He is representing Bob Floyd, owner of the property. Lot 1 would be the 3 1/2 acres that Mr. Floyd's house is located on. It is improved with grass. Lots 2 and 3 are unimproved lots that are fenced in. Cal recommends approval subject to: 1) Park land money required (approximately $1800) be made in cash; 2) Roads need to meet the standards set by Yellowstone County Surveyor's office; and 3) Paragraph needs to be added regarding the status of irrigation ditches on property and they need to be added to the drawing. Motion by Donna Kilpatrick, seconded by Billielou Lance, to recommend approval of this preliminary plat, subject to the recommendations Cal made. Motion carried 7--0. PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGES Cal proposed several changes to the zoning ordinances. He feels that we should put in an allowance for animals in the larger residential zoned areas. He would also like to change the RE 20,000 requirements to require "stick built-on site" housing. He feels specific wording needs to be put directly into the ordinances. He would like to have a public hearing on these changes in September and act on them right away once they receive the Attorney General's opinion on the O'Toole residence. Cal also recommends that the people drawing up subdivision covenants have the same "stick built on-site" clarification put into those covenants. Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Don Gudgell, to have Cal draft up the proposed zoning changes and have a public hearing at the September 14, 1995 meeting. Motion carried 7--0. UPDATE- O'TOOLE PROPERTY- 1819 W. MARYLAND Cal reported to the board that the City Attorney has requested an Attorney General's opinion regarding this issue. We can expect the opinion to take up to 90 days. Ruby Hansen, asked whether or not these proposed sone changes would effect the situation at 1819 W. Maryland? Will it make it so that the O'Toole's home will have to be moved? She is wondering whether we are making up a rule, after the fact? Cal stated that we will propose to change the zoning to require stick-built on-site houses. She is also wondering what the City is going to do if the state and federal laws are different than what our proposed changes are? Cal stated that it will not be a problem. BUILDING PERMIT JURISDICTION CHANGE Cal would like to send a letter from the Planning Board to the Department of Commerce in support of expanding our building permit jurisdiction outside the city limits. Cal feels that expanding the permit area would eliminate some of the problems that we have had, such as the O'Toole situation. Motion by Chuck Dickerson, give Cal permission to send a building permit jurisdiction, Motion carried 7--0. seconded by Merrill Watkins, to letter of support to expand the to the Department of Commerce. Cal stated that the last legislative session made somewhat of a mess of some of the subdivision laws. We haven't changed our laws from the last session. As soon as the laws go into effect in September he will have a draft of the changes we need to make. Motion by Billielou Lance, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick, to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, und, Secretary
