Hazel Klein, City Rep. Todd Linder, City Rep. Clarence Foos, County Rep. Greg Johnson, County Rep. Dan Koch, City Rep. Dan Ruff, County Rep. David Oberly, County Rep. Others present: Cal Chamin, City Planner Cheryll Lurid, City Secretary Blair Warehime, Galloway & Romero Associates Minutes of the May 4, 2006 meeting were approved. Bud Johnson asked if the Council had responded to the Planning Board's concerns about Cai presenting the Annexation request for Riverside Park, WTP and WWTP for the City. Cai stated that there was no response back from the Council. Public Hearine- Conditional Use - Wal-Mart and Out parcels Si~nnge Cai explained that according to the Entryway Zoning District Wal-Mart can have 3 billboard signs on their propexty;, one sign for Wal-Mart and one each for the other two out parcels. Wal-Mart would prefer to have one billboard advertising both them and the two out parcels. Because this issue isn't addressed in the entryway zoning Cai suggested they go through the Planning Board as a Conditional Use for a recommendation. PROPONENTS: Blair Warehime of Galloway, Romero and Associates spoke representing Wal-Mart. Blair stated that Wal-Mart is requesting they be allowed to put all signage for both Wal- Mart and two Out Parcels on the same billboard sign. This would reduce the amount of signage and would benefit both Wal-Mart and the Out Parcels. OPPONENTS: None. 1 Because there were no opponents present Chairman Shay closed the public hearing. (7:04 pm) Bud Johnson stated that when the entryway zoning was proposed a lot of people fought it, but we are seeing the positive aspects of that kind of planning here tonight. Not only does it makes sense for what the City has tried to accomplish but it also makes sense for Wal- Mart. It seems to be a win-win situation. There was a discussion regarding whether this sign met Montana statutes as to height and setback requirements from the interstate; both Cai and Blair said it did. A question was raised as to whether or not the sign will fit into the rustic log-look condition the board and council recommended. Cai stated that Blair is the Civil E~neer on the project. Cai spoke with the Architect involved in the project and they are conforming to the rustic log condition and also have plans to add rock work to the bottom of the building to give it an even more rustic look. Cal recommended approval of the conditional use. This fits in with the Entryway zoning and it reduces the number of signs that could be in the area. Motion by David Oberly, second by Bud Johnson to recommend approval to the City Council for the conditional use for Wal-Mart signage. Motion carded 8-0. Subdivision Regulation Revisions Cal handed out the proposed Design Standards Section of the revisions he is proposing and went over them with the Board. He would like the Board to review them in depth and bring any questions and concerns to the next meeting. He has forwarded a copy of these revisions to the Public Works and Public Utilities departments. Proposed Zone Changes: reduce commercial parking requirements; allow front porches in to protrude into front yard setbacks in residential zones; and, allow construction of non-conforming housing units destroyed by fire; and expand driveway access from 20 feet to 24 feet maximum_ Cal talked about the above proposed zone changes. These are issues that have come up over the past few years that need to be addressed and possibly changed. The Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed zone changes at its regular meeting on July 6, 2006, Appointment of Member-at-Large Motion by David Oberly, second by Clarence Foos, to appoint Gerald Shay Member-at- Large with his term going through June 30, 2008. Motion carried 843. The Mayor has requested that one Board member sit in on the interviews for the new Planner. Todd Linder was nominated. The vote was 8-0 in favor of Todd.
