COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Public Input: Citizens may address the Council regarding any item of City business that is not on tonight’s agenda. The
duration for an individual speaking under Public Input is limited to three minutes. While all comments are welcome, the
Council will not take action on any item not on the agenda. Because of the Rules that govern public meetings, Council is not
permitted to speak in response to any issue raised that is a non-Agenda item. The Mayor may provide factual information in
response, with the intention that the matter may be addressed at a later meeting. In addition, City Council may request that a
particular non-Agenda item be placed on an upcoming Agenda, for consideration. Citizens should not construe Council’s
“silence” on an issue as an opinion, one way or the other, regarding that non-Agenda matter. Council simply cannot debate
an item that is not on the Agenda, and therefore, they must simply listen to the feedback given during public input. If a
citizen would like to speak or comment regarding an item that is on tonight’s agenda, we ask that you wait until the agenda
item is presented to the Council by the Mayor and the public is asked to comment by the Mayor.
Be advised, if a discussion item has an upcoming public hearing, we would request members of the public to reserve your
comments until the public hearing. At the public hearing, the City Council will establish an official record that will include
all of your comments, testimony, and written evidence.

Laurel Bernhardt Ditch Improvements Project Change Order #1 Breakdown
March , 2026
The following changes have been made to the original contract documents for the Laurel Bernhardt
Improvements Project.
Side Mount Gate Cost Increase:
The originally designed project featured a Waterman side-mounted gate. The originally designed
structure was laid out based on the restraints of the Waterman gate. During bidding, a Fresno gate was
approved. The Fresno gate did not have the same height restrictions and allowed for a more efficient
design. The updated structure and gate design led to a price increase of the gate lifter assembly of
$2,942.50. See correspondence in Appendix A.
Overflow Pipe Material and Construction Change:
During installation of the proposed overflow piping, two existing telecommunication lines were
encountered at 5.5’ – 6’. The original design was modified to allow for a PVC SDR-35 pipe and 45-degree
fitting to avoid the utility conflict. The additional 45-degree bend, pipe return fee, and new PVC pipe led
to a price increase of $4,843.12. See supplier invoices attached in Appendix B.
Landscaping Edging Bid Item:
The original project design did not include landscaping edging between the proposed crushed limestone
and the backfill slope. Installation of the proposed edging increased the project cost $2,191.90. See
vendor invoices attached in Appendix C.
The total project contract cost increase has been calculated to be $9.977.52.

Triple Tree Engineering, Inc.

Paul,
Due to the gate height increase from 24” to 36” tall, this increased the lift load on the gate which now requires a geared lift in lieu of the
hand wheel lift originally submitted.

City of Laurel Board of Adjustment
115 W. 1st St.
Laurel, MT 59044
RE: Variance Request for 201 5th Ave Laurel MT 59044 – Setback Requirements
Dear Members of the Board of Adjustment,
Please accept this letter as a formal statement of intent for a variance request regarding the
property located at 201 5th Ave Laurel MT 59044. I am proposing to demolish an existing non-
conforming detached garage and replace it with a new structure that includes a garage on the
ground fioor and an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) above. I am requesting a variance to maintain
the existing garage's current setback of 16ft from the south property line, along W. 2nd St., rather
than moving the new structure to meet the updated minimum setback limit of 20ft.
R-6000 zoning establishes minimum setback limits on page 31 of the Laurel City Code Title 17. Due
to the property being located on a corner lot the setback limit for “side adjacent to streets” asks for
a minimum setback limit of 20ft along adjacent streets which is W. 2nd St. This street, W. 2nd St.
should be classifled as a “residential local access” or “residential collector 2 lane” according to the
street type on Table 16.4.C.1 of the municipal code. The street type determines the right-of-way
distance which establishes the appropriate minimum setback limits. Setback limits for “residential
local access” require 67ft of right-of-way which would approximate to 12.5ft of minimum setback;
while a “residential collector 2 lane” requires 70ft of right-a-way and approximate to 15ft of
minimum setback. A minimum setback limit of 20ft would be more appropriate for a road that
requires 80ft of right-of-way. Therefore, a minimum setback limit of 20ft would be excessive and
undue for properties along W. 2nd St.
Additionally, corner lots face setback limits for two streets rather than one street, which reduces
the space of usable property. After examining and measuring 31 proximal corner lots within roughly
one block radius of my address, over three quarters of them do not meet the aforementioned
setback requirements.
This request for a variance would not be adding any additional buildings to the property. It is simply
mirroring the setback limit that the current garage on the property has had for decades, removing
one garage and replacing it with another. Maintaining the current setback will allow the visual
proflle and spacing between buildings to remain consistent with what the neighbors have grown
accustomed to.
28
Per Montana Code Annotated § 76-2-323 and Laurel Municipal Code, I believe this request meets
the necessary criteria for a variance due to the following factors:
1. Unnecessary Hardship & Unique Physical Circumstances: The existing house and garage
were constructed prior to current setback regulations and are already situated outside
today's limits. Strict application of the current setbacks would require shifting the new
structure signiflcantly into the usable yard space, which is restricted by the existing primary
residences position. This creates a physical hardship in utilizing the property for a modern
ADU while maintaining functional open space.
2. Harmony with Neighborhood Character: The proposed project seeks only to maintain the
current setback of a structure that has existed for decades. By keeping the current setback,
the visual proflle and spacing between buildings that the neighbors have grown accustomed
to will remain consistent.
3. Public Health and Safety: The variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare. The
new structure will be built to current flre and building codes, improving the safety of the site
compared to the aging structure it replaces. It will not interfere with the "Clear Vision
Triangle" required at alleys or intersections.
4. Support for Housing Diversity: This project aligns with the state’s intent to allow ADUs "by
right" to provide more housing options. Maintaining the existing setback allows for a design
that is more architecturally compatible with the site's historical layout.
I have attached a scaled site plan showing the existing non-conforming setbacks and the proposed
new structure. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Drew Nordman

VARIANCE REPORT VAR-26-01
Drew Nordman
Side -Corner Minimum Setback
March 23, 2026
BACKGROUND:
The City of Laurel has had zoning since the early 1970’s as authorized by §76-2-301 et. seq MCA.
These regulations set minimum and maximum standards for all lands located with the jurisdiction
of the City of Laurel. These regulations establish standards for the height, bulk, and location of
structures.
The property owner is requesting to construct an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the
approximate location of the existing non-conforming garage. The subject property address is 201
N 5th Avenue and may be described as Lots 19 and 20 Block12, Laurel Original Townsite, located
in Section 9, Township 02 South, Range 24 East, P.M.M., City of Laurel, Yellowstone County,
Montana.
The subject property is zoned R-6000, and is adjacent to two public rights-of-way (5th Ave and W
2nd Street). The subject property is developed with a non-conforming residence and a non-
conforming garage. The non-conformity at issue in this request is related to the Side Corner
Setback Requirements of the Laurel Zoning Regulations. Both the front and side corner setbacks
are 20 feet from the public right-of-way.
Both existing structures are protected as ‘Legally Existing Non-Conforming Uses’. The non-
conforming use section of the Laurel Municipal Code is included in this report. The applicant was
aware of this standard at the time of requesting a building permit from the city and has requested
a variance as outlined in their application.
The application materials address several other points that outline the anticipated benefits of the
project. The application materials are incorporated into this report by reference.

Chapter 17.56 - NONCONFORMING USES
17.56.010 - Nonconforming use designated.
Any lawful use of the land or buildings existing at the date of passage of the ordinance codified in
this chapter, and located in a district in which it would not be permitted as a new use under the
regulations of this chapter, is declared to be a nonconforming use, and not in violation of this title
at the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter; provided, however, a
nonconforming use shall be subject to, and the owner shall comply with the regulations set out in
Sections 17.56.020 through 17.56.070.
(Prior code § 17.64.010 (part))
17.56.020 - Extension of.
The nonconforming use of a building may be extended throughout any part of a building clearly
designated for such use but not so used at the date of th e adoption of this chapter. No
nonconforming use may be extended to occupy any land outside the building nor any additional
building not used for such nonconforming use at the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in
this chapter. The nonconforming use of land shall not be extended to any additional land not so
used at the date of adoption of the ordinances codified in this title.
(Prior code § 17.64.010(A))
17.56.030 - Additions, repairs and alteration allowed when.
A. No building used for a nonconforming use shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or
structurally altered, unless the use is changed to one which complies with the provisions of this
chapter; provided, however, permits may be issued for the reconstruction of an existing
building to be continued as a nonconforming use if the following conditions are complied with:
1. If a single- or two-family dwelling is presently a nonconforming use, and is located in a
residential area, and is destroyed, the dwelling may be rebuilt. However, qualifying
dwelling units located on arterial streets or roads must conform to the applicable setback
standard;
2. New use would decrease the automobile parking congestion in the area;
3. New use would not increase the cubical contents of the structure, floor area ratio, if such
would violate provisions of this chapter;
4 Such reconstruction would be one in accordance with the city building, plumbing,
electrical codes and fire prevention code;
5. The issuance of such permit would not violate the provisions of Section 17.56.040 of
this chapter.
(Prior code § 17.64.010(B)(part))
(Ord. No. O08-05, 6-17-08)
17.56.040 - Applicability when building damaged or destroyed.
A. If any building in which there is a nonconforming use is damaged by fire, flood, explosion,
wind, war or other catastrophe, in an amount equal to or greater than fifty percent of its
assessed valuation, it shall not be again used or reconstructed to be used for any use
except one complying with the provisions of this title in which it is located. This
35
4
subsection specifically does not apply to nonconforming, one and two-family dwelling
units.
B. In addition, repairs and maintenance work may be carried out each year in an amount not
to exceed twenty-five percent of the assessed value of the building for that year. Such
repairs and maintenance work shall not increase the cubical content of the building, nor
the floor area devoted to the nonconforming use. Nor shall it increase the number of
dwelling units provided in a building.
C. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening nor repair of a
building which may be necessary to restore the building to a safe condition or to improve
the sanitary conditions of the building; provided, that such strengthening and repair may
not be used to restore a building to the provisions of Section 17.56.040 of this chapter.
(Ord. 06-12 (part), 2006; Ord. 06-06 (part), 2006; prior code § 17.64.010(B) (part), (C))
17.56.050 - Restrictions on moving building.
Any building in which there is a nonconforming use shall not be moved unless it is moved
to a district in which the use for which the building was designed is permitted by this title.
If any building in which there is a nonconforming use is moved any distance whatsoever,
the building shall thereafter be used only in compliance with the provisions of this title for
the district in which it is located.
(Prior code § 17.64.010(D))
17.56.060 - Continuance and change.
A nonconforming use may be continued in accordance with the provisions of this chapt er,
but it shall not be changed to any other use except the one which would be permitted as a
new use in the district in which the building is located.
(Prior code § 17.64.010(E))
17.56.070 - Discontinuance.
If for any reason a nonconforming use ceases for a period of six months any new use must
conform to the provisions of this title for the district in which the use occurs, and the
nonconforming use no longer allowed.
(Ord. 04-5 (part), 2004: prior code § 17.64.010(F))
RATIONAL BASIS FOR VARIANCE:
“Variance” means an adjustment in the application of the specific regulations of this title to
a particular piece of property which property, because of special circumstances applicable
to it, is deprived of privileges commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity or
zone.
Findings of Fact: Standard of Review
A recommendation for Approval or Conditional Approval of a Variance shall require the Board of
Adjustment making each of the following Findings of Fact:
36
5
1. Special Conditions
There are special circumstances or conditions that are peculiar to the land or building for
which the Variance is sought that do not apply generally to land or buildings in the
neighborhood; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o First, this property has unique physical conditions. As a corner lot, it is subject to two
street-facing setbacks, which significantly reduces the usable building area. The existing
house and garage were built long before current setback standards, and their placement
limits where a replacement structure can reasonably go. W. 2nd Street is also classified
as a residential local access or collector street, which typically corresponds to a smaller
setback than 20 feet.
2. Not Result of Applicant
The special circumstances or conditions have not resulted from an act of the applicant or
been established to circumvent this Ordinance; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o The Zoning Commission did not issue a favorable finding on this criterion.
3. Strict Application Unreasonable
Due to the special circumstances or conditions, the strict application of this Ordinance would
deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land or building or create an undue hardship
on the landowner; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o Third, applying the 20-foot setback strictly would create an unreasonable hardship.
Moving the structure further north would push it into the limited remaining yard space
and create conflicts with the existing home. It would also make it difficult to design a
safe, functional, and code-compliant garage and ADU.
4. Necessary to Provide Reasonable Use
Granting the Variance is necessary to provide a reasonable use of the land or building; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o Fourth, the variance is necessary for reasonable use. The new structure will be wider
than the existing garage, but placing it in the same general location is essential for the
design to work. Without maintaining the current setback, constructing a practical garage
and ADU becomes extremely difficult.
37
6
5. Minimum Variance
The Variance is the minimum variance necessary to allow a reasonable use of the land or
building; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o Fifth, this is the minimum variance needed. I am not asking for anything beyond the
long-standing 16-foot setback that has existed for decades.
6. Not Injurious
Granting the Variance will not be injurious to the neighborhood or detrimental to the public
welfare; and
Zoning Commission Finding:
o Sixth, the variance will not be injurious to the neighborhood. The new structure will
meet all current building and fire codes, and it will not interfere with the clear-vision
triangle. Maintaining the existing setback preserves the visual rhythm of the street. In
fact, after surveying 31 nearby corner lots, more than three-quarters do not meet the
current 20-foot standard, so this request is consistent with the neighborhood.
7. Consistent with Ordinance
Granting the Variance is consistent with the purposes and intent of this Ordinance. A
variance to the Allowed Uses of a zoning district is prohibited.
Zoning Commission Finding:
o Finally, the variance is consistent with the intent of the ordinance. It does not change
the allowed uses of the property. It supports orderly development, maintains
neighborhood character, and allows the addition of an ADU, which aligns with state
housing policy under MCA 76-2-323.
CONDITIONS
Conditions or restrictions may be placed on the approval of a Variance.
None were proposed by the Zoning Commission.
EXPIRATION
A Variance shall expire one (1) year from the date of approval if the next logical step in the
development process is not commenced. The next step in the development process includes but is
not limited to applying for a building permit, commencing the use, or applying for a Development
Permit.
38
7
DISCUSSION:
While the Zoning Commission Did not find favorably on all 7-review criterion, they did find
favorably on 6. It was the Commissions stated belief that the standard of review is the
“Preponderance of the evidence”.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Zoning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt their Findings of Fact and Grant
the requested variance to the Side Corner setback on Lots 19 and 20 Block12, Laurel Original
Townsite, located in Section 9, Township 02 South, Range 24 East, P.M.M., City of Laurel,
Yellowstone County, Montana, reducing the side corner setback from 20 feet to 16 feet..
