Montana Watts -Nuttinq Brothers Subdivision- Blocks 7 & 8
Montana Watts, 3455 Old Hardin Road, Billings, Montana, was present
getting the boards opinion on a zone change on Nutting Brothers
Subdivision, blocks 7 & 8, to a commercial zone. She would like to put
in a mini-storage, which she feels would be used by the people in the
mobile home courts located in the same area.
She also states that the land is just sitting there as empty fields and
is of no use to anyone as it sits now.
Cal stated that he does not recommend doing so because it does not
coincide with the comprehensive plan that Laurel has'established. He
also feels that a commercial zone does not belong in the middle of
residential zone.
Larry Thomas also stated that he would not go along with putting a
commercial zone in a residential area.
Mrs. Watts questioned as to whether she

(Note from Cheryll: We have had several people inquiring on this
property in regards to annexation and zone changes in the past few
months. Those people have expressed that if they do apply for a zone
change they would request a change to residential or residential mobile
home, not commercial. No one has put in an official zone change or
annexation request yet.)
Preliminary Plat- Sandra Subdivision
Elmer Treftz presented the preliminary plat for Sandra Subdivision which
is located off Byam Road on Highway 310.
The intent of this preliminary plat is to divide a 3 acre tract into 2
parcels. The owner lives on the 1.089 acres tract and intends to sell
the other 1.911 acre tract for residential use.
The plat shows 2 accesses off of Byam Road for roads going in and out of
both tracts.
Cal recommends approval subject to: 1) Utility easements as requested
by utility companies; 2) Both accesses get proper approval from the
County; 3) Stipulations of convents are adhered to.
Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Don gudgell, to approve the
preliminary plat of Sandra Subdivision, subject to the following: 1)
Utility easements as requested by utility companies; 2) Proper
accesses are provided with proper approval from the County; 3) To the
stipulations are spelled out in the subdivision improvements. Motion
2
carried.
Cal received a complaint on the horses that are pastured in the public
park on W. 9th Street. The complaint is that the park is being overused
by the horses and is in poor shape because of the overuse.
Lonnie Kellogg will check with Donna Kilpatrick, Park committee
chairman, in regards to the complaint and they will go check out the
validity of it.
Cal mentioned the new subdivision being proposed east of Montana Meadows
right next toMoss Main. Cal starts that there will be approximately 16
lots with about 1 acre in each lot.
Cal explained that the Entertainment Subdivision is still going ahead
with the zone change, and they will also submit a preliminary plat to
plat the property into sellable lots.
The reason the proposal fell through was due to 2 similar projects that
are being built in the City of Billings. The backing behind the golf
course is a 1 million dollar trust fund, and the waterslide is being
built right now with an anticipated finish date of May 31st.
Cal had a request to put Thiel Road within our zoning jurisdiction.
Because it is out of the one mile jurisdiction it will take quite a bit
of work on the part of the people wanting the zoning jurisdiction
extension.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
und, Secretary
