HAUCK PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WILLOW CREEK SUBDIVISION PB #78 -12 and
HAUCK /NAUMAN ANNEXATION PB #78 -13:
Leon Howe representing Herman Hauck. This was formerly
Casa Linda Subdivision. Reason for change and request to
replat is that this plat connects with Cherry Hill Subdivision
and eliminates an island that is presently between Cherry Hill
Subdivision and Casa Linda Subdivision. The re -plat allows
better usage of square footage of properties. The extended
street and utilities improvement cut the lots down in size
to help pay for the added improvements. This will alleviate
a problem for the City by eliminating an island. llth Avenue
needs to be changed. Department Heads recommendations will
be complied with. The mail drops will remain on 9th Street,

but instead of widening the street a mail drop will be put
right behind the curb and widen the sidewalk. A bus stop
is shown between 10th and 12th Avenues, but this is not 3
miles outside the City so it is unnecessary. Wanting another
garbage drop behind Lots 10 and 11 to handle the garbage
pickup is OK. Hydrant locations are OK. Street grades from
12th Avenue coming from Cherry Hill will be matched. Traffic
control signs will be included in the Waiver of Protest.
Drainage is shown by a dotted line between Blks 3 and 4 and
is designed to handle 100 -year flood covering Cherry Hill 1st
and Cherry Hill 2nd as researched by HKM. Culvert will continue
on 9th Street. Discussion. 1- family dwellings are planned.
Question on the future -- if Fisher wants to bring 12th straight
through, would mean redesigning a lot or 2 right now. Discussion.
Merritt Williams questioned the City's liability for the addi-
tional hookups to the sewer. The Sewage Disposal Plant is big
enough to handle the extra sewage; however, the 7th Street
Interceptor needs to be installed. Lots were 10,000 to
12,000 sq. ft. before this plan. More discussion. Protest
from 6 families received. Letters from DCA and Dept. of
Health & Environmental Sciences, Helena received. Bus Roberts
objects to size of lots -- thinks they are too small. Otto
Preikszas stated that some people want smaller lots. Otto
would like to see a place left for garages to be accessible
from the street onto these lots. Motion from Ken Christian
to conditionally approve the plat subject to comments of
Department Heads, straighten line on Lot 14, Block 3, and
recommend approval of annexation as R -1 zone, second by Jim
Seaton. The EIA was not submitted on this plat. Property
will be served by City water and sewer and conforms to the
master plan. Dick Stahl stated they are planning to make
these lots livable and useable now and in the future. Motion
carried with Bus Roberts voting "no ".
DITCHES:
Discussion of ditches accepting runoff or not. Big Ditch,
Cove Ditch and High Ditch have stated they will not accept the
runoff from new subdivisions.
SAFEWAY REPLAT:
Safeway plans to submit a minor plat around the 15th of
this month. The Department Heads would meet on this the 25th
of October. John MacMartin would like to know if the Plat
Review Committee feels it has to meet on this minor plat.
Ken Christian, Chairman, says the meeting will not be necessary.
CONTRACT:
Motion to approve DCA contract for "701" funds #CPA -MT-
08-00-0097(L) to do the Commercial Business District parking

PARK LAND DEDICATION:
Park land dedication per acre is being talked about
around Yellowstone County. MacMartin suggests Meadowood plat
be established according to sale price. Old properties to
be determined at the market value at the owner's expense.
Discussion.
ZONING ORDINANCES:
Agricultural ordinance presently is a blanket zone.
Board needs to think about this section. Possible alternative:
1) the lot size should be 10 acres, 2) owner have or be in
process of getting SCS District plan for their tract of ground,
3) have a proven estimate of from $2,500 to $5,000 gross
yearly income from the site. These regulations needed in order
to build a 1- family dwelling, except for the family exemption.
Discussion.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
