10:04:02 AM Discussion and Questions
10:04:30 AM There was no public comment.
10:04:50 AM Commissioner Murdock Based on the Planning Board’s unanimous recommendation, based on the findings in the staff report, which are entered into the record, the analysis of how this comports with the Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations, and the Belgrade area plan, and the Four Corners zoning low-density rural-residential, I think that’s a plan, not zoning, at least in this spot, and I think that whatever the effects of the minor subdivision would be are adequately mitigated for the primary interest criteria, that we move to approve it, with conditions.
10:05:36 AM Acting Chairman White Second
10:05:39 AM Board Discussion/Findings including Heidi Jensen
10:05:52 AM Acting Chairman White One comment I would make, and actually it's a suggested change to a condition, I thought I’d throw that in, it’s a minor thing, but I, it might in the future be good to have the language in there. It’s condition #2 which is pertaining to fire protection, I think there’s an assumption made that that as far as the sprinkler requirements and all of that are for new structures, that if you take the language of condition #2 as it states there, I think it’s important that it would maybe the last sentence would simply add the words, “for all new structures”. Because if you look at the covenants, required covenants, and which is condition #8c, it says that all new structures must meet the fire flow requirement and I think to be consistent condition #2 should just refer to
new structures so that there’s no possibility that there would ever be a demand to do something with what’s already there. So I guess I’m suggesting that as just a small change to the conditions, just for clarification.
10:07:13 AM Discussion between the Commission, Ty Traxler, and Heidi Jensen
10:07:25 AM Commissioner Murdock I would accept that change to my motion.
