Council Minutes of November 24, 2020
Scott Aspenlieder, Performance Engineering, and representative for the developer, stated he
would keep this short as they had a lengthy public hearing on this. This variance here, in particular,
is most important to the layout of our development and our subdivision. We feel like we did the right
thing in aligning that intersection with the large commercial approach as opposed to the dead-end.
street of Mulberry. We got adequate separation to not cause traffic interference with the crossing of
lanes and those types of things. The way we feel is that it is the safest and does meet all the
requirements outside the direct alignment with Mulberry. It will be best for the development, best for
the neighbors, and best for the community from a safety perspective. He appreciates Council's
consideration on this and hopes that Council approved this request.
Council asked for clarification if City/County Planning Board did not recommend approval
for this variance. It was clarified that was what was brought forward in the public hearing.
Council questioned how much of a delay there would be should this variance not be
approved. It was clarified that it would most likely delay the project about a month. Redesigning the
water and sewer connections will be the most time-consuming adjustment.
A vote was taken on the motion. All six council members present voted nay. Motion failed
0-6.
Resolution No. R20-82: A Resolution Granting A Variance From The City's
Subdivision Ordinance Development Requirements To Approve A Thirty (30) Foot
Right -Of -Way Dedication Along Yard Office Road And A Fifty -Six (56) Foot Wide
Private Internal Road For Goldberg Sporting Estates Subdivision 4th Filing.
Motion by Council Member Eaton to approve Resolution No. R20-82, seconded by Council
Member Klose.
Scott Aspenlieder, Performance Engineering and representative for the developer, stated as
he outlined last time with respect to the 30 -foot right-of-way dedication. As it's currently constituted,
he doesn't feel like there is even a variance request here. Mr. Altonaga acknowledged there is an 80 -
foot right-of-way, which is your design standards and subdivision regulations for the classification of
Yard Office Road technically and legally; I don't think there are any grounds for a variation as it sits.
But what we are willing to do is dedicate an additional 30 foot; we want to make this a safe
intersection and safe transaction as we enter our subdivision. It's only good for us as well as it is for
the public. I think technically, legally, we do not have grounds to have to dedicate anything because
we meet the requirements as it sits today. So, what we ask for today is a compromise. The Planning
Department is asking for a 40 -foot right-of-way dedication. What we have offered to give up is 30
feet because we know we can design Yard Office Road with all utilities and turn lanes that will be
required to turn onto the property. We don't feel like there is a need for an additional ten. The want
for one does not justify the request. And looking into the future does not justify what you are asking
for. On that subject, we have given more than what we legally have to. He asks for your
consideration on the 30 -foot right-of-way dedication.
As for the internal road, the plan to build this road to City standards. A 56 -foot wide road is
plenty for two-way travel, plus street parking on both sides. Plus, it is done all over Yellowstone
County and is easily navigable. We also do not want something that would be difficult to navigate,
or the community navigate it would be a detractor for the people and the businesses we want to come
here. Again, we want to do the right thing here. We ask that you waive it to make it a workable
situation. What we have asked for does not create any problems or harm to the community. I would
again request your approval and consideration for this variance request.
There was no council discussion. A vote was taken on the motion. All five council members
present voted aye. Motion carried 5-0.
ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA: None.
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS (ONE -MINUTE LIMIT): None.

Council Minutes of November 10, 2020
• Public Hearing — Goldberg Sporting Estate Variance #1— Street Connectivity.
Mayor Nelson stated this is the time and place set for the public hearing on the City of Laurel's
Goldberg Sporting Estate Variance #1 — Street Connectivity.
Mayor Nelson opened the public hearing and asked Staff to present the item.
Nick Altonaga, Planning Director, read the attached Staff Report.
Mayor Nelson opened the floor for public comment and stated that copies of the rules governing the
public hearing were posted in the council chambers.
Mayor Nelson asked three (3) times if there were any proponents.
Scott Aspenlieder, Performance Engineering, stated he is representing the Developer, Goldberg
Investments. He stated they feel they have put forward what they believe is a pretty solid case in
relation to why they feel the variance is supported, why it meets the requirements of the City, and
why they feel it is the best long-range situation as far as this development is concerned. The big
thing with the alignment of Mullberry is a one block long street that does not connect to anything at
this stage of the game, off of E. 81h. Mr. Altonaga noted in his staff report that there may be future
plans off of E. 7"', but from a development standpoint, it is impossible for us to know what the City
may or may not see for development for that end of the City when there is not a capital improvement
plans in place, and nothing noted to us. And quite frankly as we modified our layout to try and create
connectivity and connect to the commercial portion of the development. And modify that plat so that
the commercial part ties to the residential part. So you have a tie from Yard Office Road through the
development to E. 8th. We have done everything that we can. The alignment from our standpoint,
just strictly from a technical standpoint, you want to minimize intersections and minimize traffic
conflicts. It's even acknowledged in Staffs Report that this alignment would align with a more
utilized approach into Cotter's Sewer Service. That is used by a commercial business. It is used quite
frequently; there is a lot of traffic there. It's a more safe situation to align this intersection with
Cotter's Sewer Service than it is to align with a dead-end road that services four residential lots.
Maybe sometime in the future could tie into E. 9th or E. 7th. Even at that point, if E. 7th is built out ten
years down the road, you still have a safe intersection there where people can come off the
subdivision, turn onto E. 8th and down Mullberry and go onto 7th if they want to try and spit traffic
on their way into the City of Laurel. There is no real good argument to dispute the fact that it is a
safer intersection if we can align our road to the commercial entrance to Cotter's Sewer Service.
From our perspective, this is the best situation; it creates a better situation for the existing house that
is located in the Southwest corner of that is going to stay. You won't have a residential road coming
right down your kitchen window to that house, which ends up staying there. We have put forward
what we think/feel is a good safe proposal for the community to consider. And something that
frankly is going to help from a traffic standpoint for the residents of the area and the residents of
East Laurel. That's the case he guesses he would make on this variance. He thinks this is the best
they can do. It fits and meets all the requirements, and he doesn't think it is justified at this stage of
the game to try to align this with a road that dead ends and serves four residential lots, on the off
chance that maybe someday in the next decade E. 7th ever gets built out.
Mayor Nelson asked three (3) times if there were any opponents. There were none.
Mayor Nelson stated that he would not have Staff respond to questions as there were none.
Mayor Nelson closed the public hearing.
• Public Hearing — Goldberg Sporting Estate Variance #2 — Right-of-way, Dedication,
Road Width.

Council Minutes of November 10, 2020
Mayor Nelson opened the floor for public comment and stated that copies of the rules governing the
public hearing were posted in the council chambers.
Mayor Nelson asked three (3) times if there were any proponents.
Scott Aspenlieder, Performance Engineering representing the Developer Goldberg Investments,
stated Nick covered a whole lot of ground there, and as you can see, this 10 foot of right-of-way
along Yard Office Road can be a little bit confusing. Ten feet to most people doesn't sound like a lot,
but as you're taking 10 feet through a commercial corridor. The value of that starts to add up
significantly. He stated he wanted to touch on a whole lot of points here with respect to this 10 foot
of dedication on Yard Office Road. The first thing he would say is, as a Developer and as an
applicant, the only thing they can do is to try to submit to meet your, the City of Laurel, your
standards. Yard Office Road, as you annexed it in has 80 feet of right-of-way. Yard Office Road in
your Transportation Plan developed in 2014, is designated as a commercial collector requiring 80
feet of right-of-way. When we had this conversation early on, he stated he doesn't want this to be
misconstrued or miss represented, but when we had this conversation early on with Forrest
Sanderson, the contract planner at the time. What we talked about very, very explicitly and
specifically with he and Kurt was that we would considering giving some additional right-of-way
along Yard Office Road; however, I don't feel like technically we need to submit a variance because
Yard Office Road already has the right-of-way width required by your plans and by your standards.
So we would consider it given that there is a disputable you have 30 to 40 feet of that right-of-way
that is used for a drainage ditch. We would consider giving you an additional 30 feet, giving you a
70 -foot -wide, even considering as stated in Mr. Altonaga's staff report a 40 feet of that 80 feet is
used for a drainage ditch, which again is not my issue; we meet your standards as designated in your
own documents. We would consider going ahead and dedicating an additional 30 feet to make sure
we could incorporate sidewalks, any kind of widening, an additional turn lane on Yard Office Road
if it determined that was required by the traffic study as we go through the design on this. That's how
we ended up here. I don't feel professionally; technically, we even have this as a variance request
because technically, we meet your requirements as stated in your own standards and documents. So
as we talk about donating an additional 30 feet, we still give you; if you take that 40 feet off that Mr.
Altonaga has said is used for drainage, we still have 70 feet. That road is already built, if we are
being honest, Yard Office Road may be widened, and that extra 30 feet would definitely help in the
widening of that road. But you are not going to see a complete destruction and reconstruction of
Yard Office Road even at an arterial width; in the worst-case scenario, we have to put a center turn
lane in to get in and out of the layout we've provided, and we've proposed for Yard Office Road to
get into the commercial portion of our development. In the worst-case scenario, we put a turn lane
in, a center turn lane. That's a three -lane wide road with a sidewalk on our side that we would be
responsible for building. Seventy feet, taking into account for what's already there is more, more,
more sufficient width to be able to accomplish that and make that happen. The additional 10 feet, to
be able to see it align with what may have been dedicated 50 years ago to the north on a County
subdivision which is not going to be annexed into the City of Laurel in anytime in the near future.
Should not be the reasoning for asking for an additional 10 feet. Again remember, we are giving you
an additional 30 feet that personally and professionally I don't think we necessarily need to dedicate
to meet your requirements as they are written in your own documents. But we are willing to dedicate
the 30 feet because it will make it a little easier and a little better and more presentable for our own
development. But the additional ten feels arbitrary and capricious; it doesn't feel like it is based on
any sound math, science, or any firm logic on how that road would ever be developed. So that's why
were are here talking about 10 feet of right-of-way. Ten feet on commercial property adds up to a
significant amount of money. If we are responsible, and as we develop this out, we are going to be
responsible for paying for the improvements to do the things we need to make sure traffic can get in
and out sufficiently as dictated by the traffic study as part of the subdivision process. We are
confident that if we dedicate another 30 feet of right-of-way, giving 110 feet of right-of-way along
the frontage of our development on Yard Office Road, we will easily be able to handle, and guess
what? if we can't, we can always dedicate another 10 feet of right-of-way at that time. It seems
arbitrary and capricious to be asking for that at this point without any justification and without us,
even at this point, to go through the traffic study to say this is what this would look like to safely
travel the development. So I guess that's how I would address; there is a lot to unpack there, that's
how I would address our variance request number two. The fact that I don't think we should have
even been here with a variance request is first and foremost. With respect to the 56 -foot right-of-way
width internal for commercial on Perazzi Way, 56 -foot width for a right-of-way dedication for an
interior commercial street is standard in the City of Billings; it's standard in a lot of other
jurisdictions. It's more than enough to allow for parking on the street plus allow for two lanes of
traffic to traverse that easily; with that being a private road at this point in time, we can easily make
sure that the sidewalks are incorporated and fit with a boulevard walk. We are not intending to
Council Minutes of November 10, 2020
deviate from a boulevard development. We also, as the Developer, I guess I would ask you all
remember, we also as the Developer want to make this easily traversable. We want to make this user
friendly because the business we are trying to attract here are not going to want cars pulling in or
pulling over so another car can go by so they can traverse cars parked on the street. These widths are
proven their true; they are easily navigable in multiple jurisdictions surrounding the City of Laurel. I
think we can that very easily and very comfortably in this development. I don't see this as any kind
of hardship, I don't believe it creates any kind of burden for the residents, and I don't see that it is
anything that we as a Developer can't navigate to make this a user-friendly development and not
only friendly for the residents and citizens but also for the traveling public. So that's the case I would
make. The only other thing that I want to make sure that we address and this pertains to variance 1,
2, all three of the variances. There was a note in there with respect to a recommendation coming
from the Planning Board that there needs to be a three-month cooling -off period per se. We have
talking to Mr. Altonaga offline after the Planning Board. There is nowhere in any kind of statue both
at the City level or at the State level that requires a cooling -off period. There is no need for that. If
the variances are approved, then we can obviously easily move forward. If anyone of the three, two
of the three, or all of the three are denied, we can make the adjustments very quickly and be right
back in with our subdivision application. The only thing that we are up against at that point is
making the modifications to the plat and get it back in to keep the subdivision process going. I guess
I want to make sure that that is not something that is under consideration by the City Council. I
would ask Mr. Altonaga to address that as well. We don't feel that is appropriate, nor is it necessary.
The Planning Director stated that, like Scott had mentioned, we had previously discussed that. Those
recommendations, I had written those in just as a place holder; I believe both the Public Works
Director and Contract Planner had thought that there were caveats in our code. He stated that he had
checked and did not see anything. He had just included it as a place holder. As Scott had mentioned,
it's not necessary for a cooling -off period, a minimum timeline for resubmittal. Like Scott said,
whether denied or approved that we could move forward within the next month or so with the next
Planning Board cycle. He thanked both Scott and Tony for calling in tonight. There was a little bit of
confusion for Planning Board for the public hearing. Scott and Tony were not in attendance. There
was some confusion with the public notice and the correspondence we had back and forth. I am
happy they were able to tune in tonight to provide that extra information and response.
Mayor Nelson asked three (3) times if there were any opponents. There were none.
Mayor Nelson asked Staff if they needed to respond to any additional questions.
The Planning Director stated he understands all of Scott's responses, especially to the right-of-way
dedication widths. What we have on the books is what we have on the books. Technically that's what
we are going off of. They meet a lot of those requirements. From my point of view, looking at
futureproofing about getting that 10 feet to make sure it's on the books and we have it ready to go
down the line. We have gone back and forth for months on this, on different designs and alternative
plans and things like that. That's my one thing I know specifically what is in and on the books is
there, and I definitely understand those concerns, that that is what they have gone off of for months
prepping their plans and prepping their plats. But just from our point of view, looking at going past
that a little bit as to what's going to be adopted soon for our growth policy update and possible future
developments along Yard Office, which we see as a major area of the City to seek new development
and annexations into the City. I am hoping that at some point in the near future, that High Point
Subdivision will annex, but that will be a whole another development process. As Scott said, that's
nothing that would happen very soon. We are planning on different situations—Thanked Scott for
being here and providing his responses to my findings.
Mayor Nelson closed the public hearing.
