The minutes of the April 12, 2007 meeting were approved as sent out.
Temporary Use Permit - Mo Cones' - 704 1st Avenue
This application was brought before the board last month but postponed when the kiosk
placement was changed at the last minute. The information given to the board did not
reflect that change. The board was given the changes in this month's agenda packets.
Del Henman was present regarding the proposed placement of his ice cream kiosk. He
explained that the placement change came about due to safety issues and vehicle traffic.
The building will be placed approximately 8-10 feet from the curb. Del stated that there
is a question in the code regarding the setback as the code does not specifically state
whether the setback is from the property line or from the curb.
Steve Klotz, Public Works Director reviewed the application. He recommended approval
subject to the following conditions. 1. No A-frame signs
2. Stripe 12' no parking around the structure.
3. Provide 2 parking spaces for customers.
4. Provide 1 parking space for employee.
5. No use of the public right-of-way.
6. Prior to placement of the building plans must be submitted and approved by the
building department and meet the standards for a commercial building.
7. Must meet zoning regulations including 10-foot setback from the property line.
Dei asked the board for leniency on the $1500 cashier's check/money order that is
required before placement of the building. He feels that because he has been in business
for 2 years that he should be considered a good established business.
1
Chairman Shay stated that the $1500 caskier's check/money order is for assurance of the
removal of the building and the Plarm_ing Board does not have the authority to waive that
fee. He recommended that Del bring that up to the City Council.
Todd Linder stated that the $1500 is stated in the ordinance and he believes that the
Planning Board cannot waive the fee. David Oberly stated the same thing.
Greg Johnson stated that because Mo Cones' did not go through the correct channels 2
years ago when they opened their business, technically they haven't been in business 2
years. He reminded Del that according to the application Temporary Use permits only
allow' a business to be temporary for 2 years and then require the business to become a
permanent structure. He tells Del that he may not want to pursue an avenue that could
require him to make the structure permanent.
Greg Johnson would like a clarification on Public Works condition #1 which states "No
A-frame signs." He believes that A-frame signs are allowed and states that the wording
on the temporary use permit is confusing.
Motion by Todd Linder, second by Dan Koch, to reconunend approval of the
temporary use permit for Mo Cones' to the Laurel City Council, subject to Public Works
Directors conditions, with a clarification on conditions # 1 (are A-frame signs allowed)
and #7 (is the setback from the property line). The motion carried by a vote of 6-0.
Chairman Shay told Del Henman to contact Cindy Allen, City Council Secretary, to be
put on the City Council Workshop agenda.
Public Hearing- Commercial Variance -Ricci's Express - 704 First Avenue -
Relief from 25' Height on Gas Canopy to 27' 11 9/16" Height
Proponents:
Vince Ricci spoke regarding this project. He and his wife Debbie are the owners of
Ricci's Express. He stated that he and Debbie worked hard to design their building and
canopy and help it fit into the neighborhood.
Vince goes on to say that the canopy over the gas pumps is not the standard fiat canopy
that you typically see on convenience stores. It has a pitched roof the same pitch as their
building, to help it fit into the neighborhood. He and Debbie worked hard on the design
of the building and canopy and did so to be good neighbors.
Kevin Wood, Hi-Tech Construction, spoke regarding the structure. City Ordinance
requires a 25-foot height and the canopy is at 27' 11 9/16".
2
Don Sayfarth, DCS Architects, explained that during the preliminary stages he worked
with Gary Colley, Building Inspector, to be sure that ail the codes were met. This was
done in September of 2006. Together they went over ail of the restrictions and codes.
He does not remember being told the height restriction. He remembers being told what
the setback was because the building mad canopy had to be moved to meet those
requirements.
In November Don had a meeting with Gary Colley, Steve Klotz and Larry McCmm to go
over the plans one more time. At that time there were a few minor corrections that had to
be done. Don made his corrections and met one more time with Gary, Steve a.ad Larry.
At that time no one saw any deficiencies on the plans.
The plans were reviewed, approved, and a building permit was issued in December of
2006. Things were going aiong well until approximately a month ago when Gary Colley
told Hi-Tech Construction that the canopy was approximately 3 feet higher than the code
would ailow.
Don then taiked with Gary Colley. He requested that Gary cail up the City of Billings to
find out how canopies are classified in Billings and what the height restriction was. The
City of Billings classified canopies in the same category as Laurel but Billings ailows a
height of 30 feet. Gary told Don that the best tl~ng to do was to go for a variance.
Don stated that at this time the canopy was too far along in its construction to re-design it.
Don went on to say that there are height restrictions and minimums on canopies for fuel
vapors that build up. You can't lower that because of the vapors and also because of the
height of the trucks that deliver the fuel. The main point for keeping it as high as
possible is because of the vapors. They were unaware of the Laurel height ordinance
until after building the canopy.
Kevin Wood from I-Ii-Tech Construction stated that there was no a blatant disregard of
the height restriction. If the architect and building had of been made aware of the height
restriction sooner they could of stopped the construction.
Deb Homing asked why they continued to improve and finish the canopy after they knew
it was not built high enough.
Kevin Wood stated that the canopy beams were being set on the day they found out about
the height restriction.
Deb Homing asked whose responsibility it will be to replace this canopy if the variance is
denied.
Kevin Wood stated that expenses were already incurred at the point they found out about
the height problem. The materials had been bought and paid for. At this point he would
not want to speculate on whom would bear the financiai responsibility if the variance is
denied, but he will stand behind his work and the owner.
3
Todd Linder clarified that the reason for the 30 foot height is 1) to accommodate the fuel
vapors; and 2) to make the canopy fit in with the sa_me d~cor and roof pitch as the
building.
Don Sayfarth went on to state that if he had of known about the 25-foot height restriction
he would of re-designed the canopy.
Chairman Shay asked if there were any other proponents that wished to speak.
There were none.
Opponents:
Dave Siljestrom, 702 2nd Avenue, told Vince Ricci that he appreciated the style of the gas
station. He had 2 questions. Did the design team not do their job in failing to design it
correct? He also has a concern with light pollution. He thinks the architect didn't do his
homework or studying regarding excessive lighting that will affect the neighbors. He
feels that the rules and ordinances have to be followed. In a residential neighborhood you
cannot put a 3rd or 4th floors on your home. He feels that the canopy detracts from the
rest of the neighborhood. He feels that it is apparent that this does not match the rest of
the neighborhood. He wondered what else the design team figured w~ong. He worries
about that because there are thousands of gallons of gas in the tanks at Ricci's Express.
Don Gudgell, stated that he sat on the Laurel Planning Board for 12 years. He spent
many years working for the IRS doing fuel inspections and he inspected fuel canopies all
across Montana. He is not against the Ricci's Express but does have concerns on the
engineering of the canopy. He read the letter he brought into the record (attached).
He went on to state that he asked the City Engineer (Gary Colley is the Building
Inspector not the City Engineer) if he had inspected the bolts and brackets up in the air?
Gary Colley told him that he inspected it but from the ~ound.
Don went on to say that he feels there is a flaw in the engineering of the canopy and it is
unsafe.
Chairman Shay stated that the Planning Board is reviewing the height of the canopy, not
the engineering of it. He assumes that an engineer signed off on the structure prior to the
issuance of the building permit.
Chairman Shay asked if there were any other opponents. There were none.
Proponents:
Don Sayfarth stated once again that in the beginning of the project he went over the plans
with Gary Colley and nothing was said about the height restrictions. If it had of been
brought up the canopy would have been re-designed.
Chairman Shay asked how high it was from the soffitt of the canopy to the peak?
Kevin Wood stated that it is approximately 11 feet from the soffitt to the peak.
Grog Johnson asked if the canopy was engineered and signed off by the engineer.
Don Sayfarth stated that his structural engineer is Jim Schilke from Structural
Engineering Design, PC out of Billings. Don stated that the canopy is engineered to
handle a 500-pou_nd uplift, per square foot. It is engineered and signed off.
Grog Johnson stated that there have been some mistakes made. He read the letter from
Gary Colley into the record. He was unhappy that Gary had made reference to the
variance that was granted to St. John's Lutheran home and making it sound like because
the Planning Board granted that variance then everyone asking for a variance will
automatically be granted one. He went on to say that the board looks at each variance
differently and he didn't appreciate Mr. Colley's comment.
David Oberly asked where the measurement is taken for the canopy and suggested that
maybe more concrete could be added to make the canopy height different. He also
wonders if the wings of the canopy could be cut offto help with the vapor issue.
David went on to state that he was a public employee for 35 ye~s and he was
disappointed in the management of this canopy both from the private and the city
government side. This is very disturbing to him to have these kinds of mistakes being
made. He feels the Planners with the City of Laurel did not do their jobs.
Chairman Shay asked what it would take to lower the canopy.
Don SayTarth stated that it would have to be looked at by the engineer tb make that
determination.
Chairman Shay wondered who would ultimately have to pay for the mistake. The City
employees are paid to know the codes and this code was in a very plain table.
Miles Walton stated that Vince Ricci has worked extremely hard to make the store
ecstatically pleasing to the neighborhood. He stated that it was a shame that the Planner
allowed this mistake to happen and he feels Gary Colley should be here to explain how
this mistake was made.
The public hearing was closed at 7:53 pm.
Motion by David Oberly, second by Dan Koch, to recommend approval to the
City Council for the variance for Ricci's Express. The motion was carded by a vote of
5
Chairman Shay told Vince R/cci to check with Cindy Alien, Council Secretary, to be put
onto the Council Workshop agenda.
Temporary Use Permit - Coffee Mill kiosk - 1547 Highway 212 South
Kelly Bohnet, owner of the Coffee Mill kiosk was present in regards to the Temporary
Use Permit requested at 1547 Highway 212 South.
Kelly owns 5 other kiosks that are located in Billings and one brick and mortar building
located at the Rimrock Mall.
The location of this proposed kiosk is in front of the Big Sky Radiator on Highway 212
South.
Dan Koch questioned whether there is a bathroom facility for her employees.
Kelly states that there no bathroom facilities for the employees. They make arrangements
with the nearby businesses to allow their employees to use their bathroom facilities.
Chairman Shay questioned if state inspections are required for their grey water?
Kelly stated that there are inspections done by the County Sanitarian on their water.
Greg Johnson questioned whether A-frame signs are allowed?
Kelly stated that their best signage comes from their kiosk canopy and they don't have
any other signs planned.
Because she will be on state highway any signage would be reviewed by the Montana
Department of Transportation right-of-way department.
Stan Jonutis, Montana Department of Transportation Billings District Traffic Engineer
reviewed Coffee Mill's temporary use permit. He determined that as long as no new
access is being requested the only action required would be coordinating any advertising
signage with the MDT Right-of-Way. (see attached)
Motion by Miles Walton, second by David Oberly, to approve this temporary use
permit for the Coffee Mill. Motion carried 6-0.
Planning & Community Services Department - Wyeth Friday and Aura Lindstrand
Wyeth Friday spoke regarding the services that The Planning & Community Services
Department is providing for the City of Laurel in the interim of hiring a Planner.
Wyeth and Aura are employees of the City of Billings and do the subdivision plats for
both the City of Billings and Yellowstone County. The City of Laurel has hired them to
do the subdivision reviews (both county and city) through the end of June, 2007.
Wyeth went on to say that Laurel's newly adopted subdivision regulations go into effect
today, May 3, 2007. The County's newest subdivision regulations are expected to be
adopted on May 29, 2007 by the County Commissioners. Both sets of regulations are
very similar but do have a few regulations that are different. He suggested that this board
may want to consider changing the regulations that are different.
At this time Wyeth introduced Aura Lindstrand. Aura handed out an information sheet
on the current subdivisions under review for the Laurel Planning Jurisdictions (see
attached sheet) and went over the list with the board.
Aura explained the timeline for Major and Minor subdivisions and the importance of
following state law. Minors have a 35 working day review and Majors have a 60
working day review. If the governing body does not review and make recommendation
on the subdivision within the allowed time according to state law, the plat defaults into its
own approval without conditions. This is the reason that Aura charts out all minor and
major plats on a time schedule.
She mentioned that under the new regulations minor plats will no longer be reviewed by
the Planning Board. She stated that if the board does wanted to continue to review minor
plats they would have to make an amendment to the regulations.
Aura also stated that Laurel's fee schedule is very similar to Billings and Yellowstone
County. There are a few minor differences. One of the differences is that Laurel charges
for a pre-application meeting and Billings and the County does not.
Aura explained that under the old regulations a subdivider had 1 year to get to final plat.
Under the newly adopted regulations a subdivider has 3 years to get to final plat.
Aura stated that she and Wyeth are available to answer any questions at 406-247-8660.
She encouraged the board members to call.
Todd Linder asked if there has been any discussion on the Planning & Comanunity
Services Department permanently reviewing Laurel's subdivisions.
Wyeth stated that the County Commissioners have expressed interest in doing so to bring
more consistency into county subdivisions.
Wyeth stated that Laurel adopted a new fee schedule in February for Laurel's entire
jurisdiction. The portion of Laurel that is in the County is still under the county fee
7
schedule. On May 29, 2007 when the regulations are adopted they would like a fee
schedule adopted. There will be a discussion session on the fee schedule prior to May
29th. Discussion sessions are every Monday at 2:00 pm on the 4th floor of the
courthouse. Wyeth will notify the Laurel Plarming Board members (through Cheryll) as
to when this discussion will be and he encouraged all board members to attend.
Question on how Lanrel's fees are different than the County's.
There are some significant fee differences such as pre-application fees and per-lot fee.
This is a concern and they would like to have input and ideas brought up at the discussion
sessions.
David Oberly said that he would be available to attend the discussion sessions.
Public Input
Them was no public input.
Miscellaneous
Them were no miscellaneous items to discuss.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Cheryll Lund, Secretary

To Whom It May Concern:
It was discovered after construction of the canopy at Ricci's Express at 704 1~t Avenue
North that it exceeded the height limitation as required in Table 17.20.020 of Laurel
Municipal Code. The maximum height of 25 feet was exceeded by approximately 3
feet.
It was decided by the owner, contractor, and designer that a variance be applied for so
the canopy could remain at its present height. Since we have allowed St. John's to build
to a height of 45 feet in the same zoning, I recommend that the variance be granted to
allow for the height of 28 feet.

Re: Variance - Kicci's Express located at 704 1st Avenue in Laurel, Montana
City Council Members/City of Laurel:
We have attached the required information for a Variance to the City of Laurel's city code
regarding the allowable height ora canopy, i.e. the fuel island canopy at Ricci's Express.
Attached is a letter from the Architect stating his method of design of the canopy and the
approval process through the City of Lanrel. The allowable height of the canopy was
simply missed by both the Architect and the City of Laurel's plan review office. A
modification to the fuel island canopy will be extremely costly to the R/cci's. Please
consider the sequence of events that led up to this point as well as the cost when
determining you decision.

Re: R/cci Convenience Center
Gentlemen:
It has brought to my attention that the canopy at the above-noted project exceeds the Emits
setby the Laurel City Codes by 24".
The standards of design I used were based on IBC 2003 regarding flammable and explosive
vapors, which governs the minimum height allowed, and requires that if made of wood, f~re retardant
wood is required.. All plans had been approved by the City of Laurel before the start of general
construction. The violation of the height limit was not brought to our attention until after the start
of the fuel canopy erection.
During the design phase, I consulted with Gary Cowley- regarding any particular requirements
of the City of Laurel that I should comply with. Mr. Cowley told me of the 20' setback requirement,
but no other requirements,/ncluding the canopy height, were mentioned.
I feel that, as I acted with all due diligence in my design to meet code requirements, and as
the City of Laurel approved the plans upon which the canopy height was shown, it would be
appropriate for the city to issue a variance for the canopy height on this project.
Sincerely,
Donald C. Seyffarth [

I have examined the proposed Coffee Mill kiosk material provided & it is my opinion that as long as no new
access is being requested, and the use of the site is essentially the same as the previous business, the only
action required by MDT is that the business opera, or coordinate any advertising signing with MbT l~ight-
of-Way. The business owner can contact Brant McCann of Right-of-way at 657-0236, with any questions,
