FEMA Flood Insurance Study No. 30111CV001A and 30111CV002A, Effective 11/6/2013. Letter of Map Revision/Revalidation 15-08-102913-300086 Effective 01/08/2015 07-08-0268V-300086 Effective 11/07/25/2013 4.1.2 The Regulated Flood Hazard Areas specifically described or illustrated in the above referenced studies and maps of the 100 -year floodplain have been delineated, designated and established by order or determination by the DNRC pursuant to 76-5-201et.seq., MCA. 4.1.3 Use allowances, design and construction requirements specifically in Sections 5, 6, 9, and 10 in these regulations vary by the specific Floodplain areas including areas identified as Floodway and Flood Fringe within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area 4.2 INTERPRETATION OF REGULATED FLOOD HAZARD AREA BOUNDARIES 4.2.1 The mapped boundaries of the Floodplain illustrated in the referenced studies and maps in this Section are a guide for determining whether property is within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area. 4.2.2 A determination of the outer limits and boundaries of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area or the Flood Fringe and Floodway within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area includes an evaluation of the maps as well as the particular study data referenced in this Section. Supporting study material for Base Flood Elevations takes precedence over any map illustrations if it exists. 4.2.3 The Regulated Flood Hazard Area boundary is delineated by the Base Flood Elevation. The physical field regulatory boundary of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area is the actual intersection of the applicable study Base Flood Elevation with the existing adjacent terrain of the watercourse or drainway. 4.2.4 The Floodway boundary where identified within the Floodplain is as illustrated on the referenced maps and studies. Since the Floodway boundary is a study feature, the location of the boundary may be physically located by referencing the study data to a ground feature. The Floodplain Administrator's interpretation of the boundary and decision may be appealed as set forth in Section 13. City of Laurel — Floodplain Hazard Management Regulations August 2018 21 4.2.5 The Floodplain Administrator may request additional information described below to determine whether or not the proposed development is within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area: 4.2.5.1 Where Base Flood Elevations exist, the property owner may provide additional information which may include elevation information provided by an engineer or land surveyor in order to determine if the proposed development is subject to these regulations. 4.2.5.2 Where Base Flood Elevations do not exist, the property owner may provide additional information to be considered to determine the location of the regulatory boundary or alternatively provide a computed Base Flood Elevation provided by an engineer. 4.2.5.3 The Floodplain Administrator's interpretation of the boundaries and decision may be appealed as set forth in Section 13. 4.2.6 Any owner or lessee of property who believes his property has been inadvertently included in the Regulated Flood Hazard Area including the Floodway or Flood Fringe may submit scientific and/or technical information to the Floodplain Administrator for a determination if the property is appropriately located. Scientific or technical information submitted to FEMA by an owner to affect the insurance rating for insurance purposes may be considered by the Floodplain Administrator. A determination by the Floodplain Administrator is independent of any determination by FEMA for insurance purposes. 4.3 ALTERATION OF REGULATED FLOOD HAZARD AREA 4.3.1 Revisions or updates to the specific maps and data that alter the established Floodplains or Floodway of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area requires DNRC approval pursuant to 75-5-203, MCA. An alteration of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area is a DNRC approved amendment to the DNRC order that originally delineated and designated the 100 -year floodplain and is the basis of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area referenced in Section 4.1.2. A DNRC approved alteration consists of revisions or updates to the specific maps and data of the referenced studies in this Section and forms the basis for an amendment to the Regulated Flood Hazard Area in these regulations; 4.3.2 Any change to the Regulated Flood Hazard Area as a result of a DNRC alteration is effective upon amendment to the Regulated Flood Hazard Area described in Section 4.1.1; 4.3.3 Substantial natural physical change or new technical or scientific flood data showing that the Base Flood Elevation has or may be changed or was erroneously established shall be brought to the attention of DNRC and FEMA; City of Laurel — Floodplain Hazard Management Regulations August 2018 22 4.3.4 Any Floodplain permit application for a proposed development or artificial obstruction must be denied until a DNRC alteration pursuant to 76-5-203, MCA is approved if it causes an increase of 0.5 feet or more to the Base Flood Elevation of a Regulated Flood Hazard Area without a Floodway or an increase of more than 0.00 feet to the Base Flood Elevation of a Floodway. 4.3.5 To propose an alteration a petition must be submitted to DNRC and must include the following information: 4.3.5.1 Certification that no buildings are located in the areas which would be impacted by the increased Base Flood Elevation; 4.3.5.2 Evidence of notice to all property and land owners of the proposed impacts to their properties explaining the proposed impact on their property; 4.3.5.3 Information that demonstrates that alternatives are not feasible; 4.3.5.4 Information that demonstrates that development is for a public use or benefit; and 4.3.5.5 Any other supporting information and data as needed for approvals. 4.3.6 The Floodplain Administrator may represent the permit authority for any necessary applications, approvals or endorsements such as the FEMA Community Acknowledgement Form to FEMA where affecting the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area; 4.3.7 A determination by the Floodplain Administrator that land areas located within the Regulated Flood Hazard Area are above the Base Flood Elevation as proven by a certified elevation survey does not constitute or require an alteration or an amendment of the Regulated Flood Hazard Area and may be maintained as a public record that more explicitly defines the Regulated Flood Hazard Area boundary; 4.3.8 Elevating with suitable fill as permitted does not alter the Regulated Flood Hazard Area or remove the elevated area from the Regulated Flood Hazard Area. and 4.3.9 A floodplain permit implementing the physical change cannot be approved until a CLOMR has been issued by FEMA.

ConojMart Super Stores have been operating in Laurel f01' over 30 years. Froperty improvements are imperative for future growth and company sustainability. Improving the storm drainage and parking lots are a huge improvement for our stores and the surrounding businesses and also the City of Laurel's general public. I feel this project sleets and exceeds the goals of the LURA. Anything we can do to get people to our locations for business will impact our employee's future also. Entering the east side of the SUbway property to 0111• locations was very difficult for our customers from the city street as they have been umnaiiltained by the City of Laurel for many years. Now there is no dirt and gravel to contend with and has eliminated complaints to the city by neighboring businesses. The improvement of the parking lots and storm drain helps the lnfrastrUCture of the City of Laurel also. It is a win wiil for everyone and I WOuld appreciate your consideration of approving this applicatiotl for yorlr grant program.

The project consists of site grading, asphalt paving and storm drainage infrastructure to improve existing gravel parking areas. The project also includes asphalt paving of a 30 -feet wide Ia.ne of South Montana .Avenue. The proposed drainage plan consists of surface _draining on-site runoff to new area inlets that divert stormwater to boulder pits within the private property. Runoff from the paved South Montana .Avenue lane hill be directed north by a swale to the City of Laurel Stormwater System in 4th Street South and south to the Italian Drain. This report presents a summary of calculattoris performed to quantify rhe storm water runoff for the proposed site. All design criteria and calculations are in accordance with the City of Laurel Design Requirements and Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ Circular 8. Specific site information and criteria are described below: I. Project Information A. Address: The physical address for the site is 401 South .1 st Avenue and 411 Soud7 1 st Avenue, Laurel, Montana 59044. B. Legal Description: The site is located on Lots 2-3; Block 1 of Hageman Subdivision, Fifth Filing and Tract 2A-1, Certificate of Survey 1690 Amended. C. Total Area: The area of the site is approximately 0.558 acres. To Plan and Design [kHOTHRN �� .' Enduring Communities... www. sa ndersonstewa rt. Com system on site which discharges into the City of Laurel Stormwater System. Boulder Pit B will pond above the storm drain inlet to a depth of 0.26 before it outfalls overland to the Italian Drain.

The project aligns with many of the goals of the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency (LURA) and the Laurel Urban Renewal Plan by creating a more vibrant and cohesive extension of the core downtown Laurel area. In addition, by creating a "shovel ready" piece of property within both the Laurel Entryway Zoning Overlay District and the SE 4`r' Street Overlay District, both Districts will be well -served in the future by enhancing an underlying destination Highway Commercial property. The project also aligns with Plan goals by encouraging more business choices in Laurel, especially in these two critical Districts. Upon redevelopment, this property will increase the existing tax base and provide support to the tax increment financing program, while improving the overall attractiveness of the community. Detailed Description of Proiect: (Plans, drawings, pictures, timeframe of completion and any other supporting materials should be submitted} The attached exhibit shows an existing engineering survey and aerial photo overlay of the property. There is a Hardee's Restaurant at the southwest corner of the property, but the north half of the property contains unused or vacant steel and concrete grain bin structures and concrete building foundations which must be removed to properly and responsibly re -develop the property. The plan is to hire a demolition contractor immediately to mobilize equipment and personnel to the site to demolish these foundations and grain bins. Detailed Budget of Proiect (Please demonstrate a 1:1 Match and provide a detailed list of all costs associated with the project. if more space is needed please use additional sheets): A recent bid has been received in the amount of $117,500 to perform this work, and the removal of two concrete bin structures from the site will be $51,750 alone, while the two steel bin structures will cost $41,500. The other $24,250 of the bid will go toward demolishing and removing the concrete building foundations and mobilizing equipment and personnel to the site. Receiving Large Grant Funding to augment the large property owner investment in this property will go a long way in cleaning up a blighted piece of property along an important Entryway Corridor for Laurel. Total Funds Requested of LURA: $58,750 at 1:1 match Please provide how this proiect will comply with the Downtown SE 4t" or Entrvwav Zoning Overlay Districts including facade, sign landscape and site plan requirements. As previously mentioned, this property is located within both the Laurel Entryway Zoning Overlay District and the SE 4t" Street Overlay District. Upon redevelopment of this property, the owner will comply with all fagade, signing, landscaping and site plan requirements. Initial discussions have been made with Laurel Public Works staff on any concerns and requirements they may have regarding protection of nearby water transmission mains; and, the removal of the bin structures will provide additional opportunity for needed transportation infrastructure improvements to happen at the intersection of South First Avenue and East Railroad Street by opening up corner property for a future signal or northbound right turn lane. The property owner is very willing to partner with the City and the Montana Department of Transportation on upcoming transportation projects that will improve traffic safety and flow. Site, landscaping and building design requirements will all be met for this property upon redevelopment. Your financial assistance through the Large Grant Program is greatly appreciated. wo) 0 lj ooM* 1!. 01, op NOS�ICINVS 1 6 0- OR �gao, 5fffV ------ VA-V-IVDAC ;alxis 96 --------- Nf. ct CD MANS IUS HUM e -z' eueluovq 'joine-1 laanc-Ijo fq!a CD co N w -j F-z,� 46 CLI v CO O LN < E 0 1 IL 0— LL O co r— eueluovq 'joine-1 laanc-Ijo fq!a Large Grant Request Program Date Received: Received by:a , -ta— Applications are due May 1` 2018 by 3:OOPM Z- Xe) '- � t" A - 1— " Name of Applicant: 14 - Phone Number: f, 7, Address of Properly: L e:, 14 /V Narne of Business, Is the project located within the TIFD (please ask the City Planner if you do not know): If C, Oease discr>be hovi the oro'ect crovides connection of ,I,,e district to existing inf,as- outside the fislict: Please Circle the Category of the Project: Land AcqUiSit!Orl Demolition or Removal of StrucLUres pgtsof Public Infrastructu 1,/ * Connection of URA to existing infrastructure OUtSide the Area or District * Improvements reducing, preventing, abating or eliminating pollution. * Other as Allowable by MCA 7-15-4233 Please Describe: Description of Flow This Project Aligns with the Goals of LURA and the Urban Renewal Plan: AQ, kit C tit. fl v v Detailed Qesc1jpLgn -- _gLP Lro-Lcl (Plans, drawings, pictures, timeframe of completion and any other supporting materials should be submitted) Il F-T("k L C 4 Detailed--ELu lPlease demonstrate a i:1 Match and provide a detailed list of ail costs associated with the oroject. if moe space is needed P)OaSe U -Se edditional sheets!

Dear LURA Board Memoers �Ui uroject compiies with the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency as part of the beautification of the downtown district. Thomae Lumber wanted to reinvest in our facility as a part of the city of Laurel since 1982, and to aispiay tnat we art part of this community for years to come. Thomae Lumber hopes that we createa an extension of the vibrant downtown features in Laurel, and helps encourage other businesses to do so as well. Our exterior remodel included a complete retace of the exterior incivaing new stucco on the whole building and rock features around the front of our story. We also added new windows to the front and west side of the store to further update the exterior of the store. Finally, we added trees on the west side of the building to beautify the sidewalk and curb appeal.

These improvements will need to be supported by the demolition and reconstruction of a portion of the existing sidewalks and curb along the west fagade, the improvement of the existing I%" domestic water line to a 1" (minimum) or a 2" line. The sewer linkage would also be updated at this time. The owner would like to relocate the electric meters from their existing location on the interior of the building to its exterior to meet current electrical industry standards. Outlined below are the applicable sections of the Montana Code Annotated 2017 (MCA) and key phrases are formatted in blue text. TITLE 7. LOCAL GOVERNMENT; CHAPTER 15. HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION; PART 42. URBAN RENEWAL (4) the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public improvements or infrastructure, including streets, roads, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pedestrian malls, alleys, parking lots and off-street parking facilities, sewers, sewer lines, sewage treatment facilities, storm sewers, waterlines, waterways, water treatment facilities, natural gas lines, electrical lines, telecommunications lines, rail lines, rail spurs, bridges, publicly owned buildings, and any public improvements authorized by Title 7, chapter 12, parts 11 through 45; Title 7, chapter 13, parts 42 and 43; and Title 7, chapter 14, part 47, and items of personal property to be used in connection with improvements for which the foregoing costs may be incurred; (5) costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment activities allowed under 7-15-4233; Laurel Urban Renewal Plan: Mixed -Use: "Mixed-use Development Approval from city planning through a special review for a true mixed-use of development will be required and for multi -family housing a zoning change is required. It is beneficial to have a mixture of housing types close to places of employment. This creates a "live -work" environment, which is conducive to conservation of resources such as gas, car purchases and other commodities. It also provides opportunities for cross benefits with customer bases, deliveries and every day functions. Maintaining and enhancing this mixture of land uses is a healthy way to instill cooperative business opportunities while providing affordable and attractive living opportunities in the district." Laurel Urban Renewal Plan: Issue -1: Policy -1: Strategies: 2. Develop Gateway treatments to mark the entries to the downtown area. 6. Encourage diversification of local business to provide diversity of shopping experiences in Downtown Laurel by encouraging specialty shops that feature unique products or services to locate Downtown. 10. Support the creation of more retail and multi -use space in the Downtown. 12. Determine and support incentives to develop in Downtown: historic preservation tax credits, low- income housing tax credits, and below market rate financing from MBH to renovate older commercial buildings into affordable housing units. Make it easy for builders to work Downtown. (Some of the most popular cities in the country, like Sari Francisco and Annapolis, could not be built under existing building codes and zoning: Tile streets are too narrow; the building set -backs too varied; and residential, commercial, and retail uses are mixed together.) 17. Encourage pedestrian access and circulation in the Downtown area; consider providing tax concessions to landowners who provide public walkways and public parking areas. 18. Develop incentives or other methods to encourage multi -use developments, including office, retail and residential components. 22. Revise the zoning code to include a special designation for Downtown commercial that expressly allows and encourages mixed use projects and follows traditional Downtown design principals. 27. Plan for those likely to be interested in residing Downtown: Young people, empty nesters, people on low and high ends of income scale, and relative newcomers. Detailed Description of Project: (Plans, drawings, pictures, timeframe of completion and an other supporting materials should be submitted ` Y Pp g ) r ;7 A permit level set of drawings is attached showing the new apartments to be ' r constructed within the building and the storefronts that are available for E �. commercial use. 1EMP The image to the right shows the existing window surrounds that were updated in 2012. (The West Elevation on sheet A2 overlays a photo stitch that was completed in 2011 and does not reflect the existing window frame infill.) The West Elevation shows the proposed locations for five new egress windows that r will allow the creation of the new apartments on the interior. -~�-r L9 Masonry Estimate: $15,000 Sub -contractor Email: "Dave, The cost to cuff in a new window opening and install a 2x12 [size inaccurate] window frame is $1,440.00 per double[ -hung] window and $1,020.00 per single window. The cost to finish the openings to match the existing is $840.00 per double[ -hung] window and $630.00 per single window. $9,720 Semi -total for windows. The cost to remove and repair the damaged brick where the garage meets the main building on the west elevation is $3,480.00. This includes repairing the crack on the west elevation where the buildings join. Additional crack repair and brick replacement to be done on a time and material basis or by an estimate following a defined scope of work."

I don't know if you have contacted the power company about any of your plans, with adding the three phase the power company might have some cost and preplanning needed for that.

A total of four grants were applied for and approved by the LURA members in 2017 for the Firefighter's Memorial Park. Two grants are for facade improvements and two grants were for technical assistance. The fagade grants can be used for hardscape, landscaping, and for signage. One facade grant for the Memorial Park was for landscaping and has received funds from the TIFD. The other facade grant is for a sign that has been installed in the park but has not received any T1FD funds to date. The two technical assistance grants approved are for help designing the sign and development plans for the park. All four grants approved by LURA meet the qualification for funding but did not proceed through the approval process in a timely manner. In order to receive any grant or combination of grants that exceed $5,000.00,.the City Council must approve the grants prior to awarding any funds in excess of this limit. I was asked by the Mayor to get all the documentation put together and submit any grant that exceeds the $5,000.00 for City Council approval. The grants that will need City Council approval are as follows; 1. Fagade Grant for metal and granite sign approved by LURA on August 17th, 2017. 2. Technical Assistance Grant for development plans with River Ridge Landscaping approved by LURA on December 18th 2017. 3. Technical Assistance Grant for design work for sign approved by LURA on December 18th, 2017. The Memorial Park had also applied for a fagade grant for landscaping in 2017 and was approved for $5,000.00 from LURA. The landscaping was the first completed project and the City reimbursed the project $3/]67.35. This was half ofthe cost ofthe landscaping improvements and did not need the full $5,000.00 as approved by LURA Both the Technical Assistance and Fa�ade Grants Programs mention that "Should a project receive 8 cumulative total of $5,000.00 Or more from any combination VfLURA grant programs, the graDt(S)that put the project ov2rthisthrgshOldrnUStbeSubnlh±edtoth8CityCoVDciifn[ approval. |vvOuld like tOforward the grants that need additional approve tothe City Council for their consideration inthe very near future. | have informed the LURA members that inthe future that their recommendation for all grants OrcOrnbi atiO ofgrants that exceed $5,0OO.00for @ project sh3ll b2forwarded tothe City Council final approval.
