Discussion between the Commission and Deputy County Attorney Greg Sullivan.
11:15:07 AM
Deputy County Attorney Greg Sullivan
Comments, The motion you're about to make would exclude the annexed property, which is the cross-hatched area and the darker area and then include everything else that’s on the map all of those properties that lye on the northern boundary and then the eastern boundary and the south east corner, that all stays in. The Green Thumb and The East Gallatin are the two areas where you're interested in keeping both of them in at this time and working with them to create a commercial overlay or some kind of district that goes in there that would have established uses and conditional uses. You want that all done within the next couple weeks so there is time for the regulation to be posted on the internet to be available to the public, that the boundaries that you are creating now will be published in the notice for the Resolution of Intent.

Finding that this change of condition would comply with Montana Subdivision & Platting Act and finding that it would comply with Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations and finding that there has been an error made requiring city standards in condition #2 that have rendered that condition unnecessary, I would move to withdraw condition #2 from the Bitterroot Minor Subdivision.
