Sheridan, developer of Sheridan Subdivision, presented plat for review. Murr Isaacs recommended dedicating 5' extra in order to line up the streets, which was done. John MacMartin read his firms' recommendations for conditional approval: 1) All of the lots have as a minimum a 60' frontage. 2) The subdivision improvements agreement addresses the removal of the existing buildings. 3) The elimination of the 2 proposed fire hydrants with the location of a single hydrant in the center of the block. 4) The extension of the sanitary sewer line to the end of the block. 5) Note: the park dedication will be about $490. Also involved at this time is an annexation proposal for Lots 11 through 17, Whitfield Subdivision and Certificate of Survey #168 as R -3 zone, property being contiguous to the City of Laurel. Otto Preikszas suggested the park value in that area should be at least $5,000. Present map is supposed to represent the agricultural value of the raw land. Discussion. Otto Preikszas moved Sheridan Subdivision only be set at $5,000 per acre instead of $2,750 and that the map be updated, seconded by James Seaton. Motion carried unanimously. Park dedication will be $888 instead of $490 on this basis. Leon Howe stated his client feels 57' frontage would be sufficient and presented plot plans which would meet City requirements (zoning, lot zine, set backs, etc.). Discussion of flood plain area. Developer plans on basements in the proposed units unless engineering proves otherwise. Murr Isaacs has requested an update of the Flood Plain Map. Billings has done likewise. More discussion. Developer intends to put Boise - Cascade houses on the sites. Developer would lose 2 lots if the 60' frontage is required. Motion from R. M. Williams, seconded by Gerald Shay, to accept the plat with the recommendations of Cumin Assoc. except for the 60' recommendation and the noted difference in the park dedication. Motion carried with Otto Preikszas voting "no." Motion from Otto Preikszas, seconded by R. M. Williams, to recommend that Whitfield Subdivision, Lots 11 through 17, and C/S #168 be annexed as R -3 zone. Carried unanimously. Roger Reich of HKM and John MacMartin of Cumin Assoc. discussed basic population tables being used. There are 3 different schedules being used in the area at the present time. Is the water plant going to be able to handle projected growth? The plant is and can be remodelled in stages to accommodate this. Discussion of interceptor line being proposed. Perhaps a 12" line would be better than starting out with a 10" line and then graduating into the 15" line. Board needs to write a letter to EPA regarding our present problems, etc. Also need map showing anticipated service area. John and Roger will work together on these problems. -2- minutes - Planning Board June 8, 1978 EDWIN KRUMM asked about having a home occupation in his garage at 302 E. 6th. He plans to repair small motors, etc. and will not be creating excessive traffic, noise, or electrical interference. John MacMartin read a definition of home occupations. The board feels Mr. Krumm falls within the definition of home occupations. Motion from R. M. Wil- liams to allow this home occupation, seconded by James Seaton. Carried. City appointments to the board coming up June 30th. Perhaps Gary Hathaway who works at BLM in Billings but lives in Laurel would be a likely prospect. Discussion of proposed budget. Motion from Otto Preikszas, seconded by James Seaton, to accept budget as presented. Carried. Cumin Assoc. presented an Addendum to existing contract between Cumin Assoc. and the Laurel - Yellowstone City- County Planning Board retaining Cumin Assoc. for another year for the sum of $11,000. Motion from Otto Preikszas to approve, seconded by R. M. Williams. Carried. Land Use Element is 100% complete at this time, Community Facilities Study is 50% complete.
