Inezeasina Review Fees
Discussion was held on Cal's recommendation to change the City's
review fee schedule. The schedule is outdated and has not been
reviewed and changed for many years.
The schedule that Cal is proposing (see attached) increases the
fees considerably. He has looked at the fees that the City of
Billings charges and he feels our fees are lower than they should
be.
The home occupation fee is proposed to raise from $25 to $150 to
help discourage some home businesses that are the same type of
businesses that are located downtown. Cal points out that the home
occupation ordinance has not been followed like it should be and
there are businesses in the downtown area that are in competition
with the same kind of businesses located in residential areas.
This seems to be a controversial issue and an important issue to
the downtown businessmen.
The review fee issue will be discussed at the May 14, 1998 meeting.
He suggests that the board look over the fee schedule and make a
recommendation at the May meeting.
1
Question on how Billings handles home occupations. Cal will find
out and have this information at the May meeting.
Discussion on 1998-99 Budget
Cal handed out the budget for the board that he presented to the
Budget/Finance committee. He proposed a substantial raise in the
budget because of the City Council's request that we review the
comprehensive plan. To do that there will be costs for printing,
advertising and other services that will be required.
Cal pointed out that every year there has been a $4,000 carryover
in the Planning Board budget reserved for comprehensive planning
and we can apply this.
This carryover amount, along with the proposed raise in review
fees, will cover the additional money needed to spend time on the
comprehensive plan and other issues as needed. (see attached)
Question on grants that would be available to accomplish what the
Planning Board needs to do? Cal states that he is not aware of any
grants.
Motion by Gerald Shay, second by Merrill Watkins, to accept
the proposed budget as presented. Motion carried.
Mountain View Preliminary Plat
This is a re-submittal of the preliminary plat that was brought to
the November meeting. There was no meeting in November due to the
lack of a quorum, but the plat was discussed by and before the
board members present at the November meeting.
This is a re-submittal of a minor subdivision. Since the last time
this was submitted there were some changes that were made on this
plat. But only one of the seven items needed for the preliminary
plat approval has been addressed, that of providing contour lines.
As evidenced by the controversy at the April Planning Board
meeting, the issues of access have not been resolved. The latest
concerns of the County Public Works Department (see attached
letter) must be addressed. The County Clerk and Recorder also has
some concerns about proper prior deed recordings in the area.
Letters of approval need to be obtained by the subdivider from both
the County Public works and Recorders office before the preliminary
plat is brought back before the Planning Board.
Mr. Graham stated that a Homeowner's Association was added to the
restrictive covenants. There is also a verbal agreement from
Montana Power and Yellowstone Valley Electric Co-op with a written
agreement to follow.
Dan McGee of McGee and Company spoke regarding this preliminary
2
plat. He appologized that he neglected to put some of the items on
the plat that Cal had given to him in a letter.
There have been issues brought up on this preliminary plat that
address access problems, Public Works, and also with the County
Clerk and Recorder regarding a legal confusion on the
identification of the survey sections. This has created a problem
with lots owned by Ken Mize and Dick Fritzler.
Cal also presented a letter he received this week from the County
Public Works office (attached) regarding concerns and unanswered
questions about road work permits and legal access to the
subdivision.
A lengthy discussion was held on road work, access, turn around,
utility easements, and some of the legal problems regarding this
subdivision.
Mr. Graham, Mr. Mize and Mr. Fritzler each spoke regarding the
controversy regarding easements, accesses and other legal issues
involved. The Planning Board is not involved in some of the issues
that were brought up but appreciated the information it received
from these three people.
It was decided by the board that this preliminary plat be tabled
until the plat is brought back to the board with all of the
necessary additions, changes, and with approval letters from County
Public Works and the County Clerk and Recorder.
Motion by Merrill Watkins, second by Betty Hart to table the
Mountain View Estates preliminary plat until it comes back with all
of the changes that Cal, the county public works office, the Clerk
and Recorders office, and various utility companies are requesting.
Motion carried.
Mountain Mudd - Tem~oorarv Use Permit
Kevin Unruh was present regarding a temporary use permit to allow
him to put in a building at Town Pump to sell coffee.
Mr. Unruh came to City Hall on February 16, 1998 and talked Public
Works Director Larry McCann. He gave Larry a copy of the lease
agreement and spoke to him regarding the building he planned to put
up.
On March 2, 1998 he came back in and purchased a building permit
and business license for the building and business.
The building was moved in on March 20, 1998 and opened for business
on March 23, 1998.
3
Mr. McCann was unaware of the need for a temporary use permit and
did not mention it. Mr. McCann is new to the city and was unaware
that the temporary use permit was required. Cal stated that all
Mr. Unruh has to do is bring in a site plan and a $1500 bond with
the City of Laurel named on the bond.
Mr. Unruh stated that they had a $5000 bond made out to the City of
Laurel, and he will bring in the site plan and the bond as soon as
possible.
After a discussion by the Board a motion was made by Merrill
Watkins, second by Miles Walton, to approve the temporary use
permit for Mountain Mudd. Motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: PRELLVIINARY PLAT OF MOUNT.b,IN VIEW ESTATES SUBDIVISION
Dear Mr. Cumin:
Public Works has reviewed the above mentioned preliminary plat as received on Apri16,
1998, and offers the following comments:
ACCESS
It would appeaz from the location of Valley Drive and the private road as shown
on the plat that there is no legal access to this subdivision without the land owner
in Section 32, Township 1 South, Range 24 East granting an easement. There is
no mention of this in the SIA (see attachment for owners to north and east).
ROADWAYS
1. The existing private roads must be constructed to Yellowstone County standazds
(see attachment). The previous review letter, dated November 10, 1997, stated
under "ROADWAYS" #4 that prior to any road construction, the developer shall
notify the Public Works Department. These roads aze now shown as
existing and were constructed without the Public Works Department being
notified, as previously suggested. This now requires that the County Inspector
view these roads to determine if they meet Yellowstone County private road
standazds. These roads need to pass inspection before the plat is accepted.

2. A permit from the Public Works Department must be obtained to gain access to
Valley Drive. As no permit was issued, this access is in violation and needs to be
resolved with the County Inspector.
3. The access to Lot 1 needs to have an approved turnaround.
If we can be of further assistance or if you have any questions please contact me at 256-
2989.
