10:14:43 AM Deputy County Attorney Jecyn Bremer Comments
10:15:29 AM   Closed public comment.
10:15:36 AM Commissioner Skinner I'd like to move to approve this subdivision with an approval of the waiver for Section 7, Table 7.1, road right-of-way width with the approval of the waiver from Section 6(b)8 a minimum of 30 foot lot frontage on public road and with the determination of the parkland waiver but to not grant the waiver for the fire protection package. And with that motion I would suggest the conditions suggested by staff except with the following changes: condition #7 to add, "with curb and gutter", condition #14 to add the language that Jason Karp proposed and to change the lettering around, the formatting. I think that concludes my motion.
10:16:39 AM Commissioner White  Second
10:16:48 AM   Board Discussion including Jason Karp, David Graham, and Mark Chandler
10:28:13 AM Mark Chandler, C&H Engineering and Surveying Comments, But it probably wouldn't hurt to keep the options open.
10:28:44 AM Commissioner White  Yeah, if you wanted to add that to that covenant and have that as an option in that covenant.
10:28:51 AM Commissioner Skinner I would accept that in my motion, to leave that options open and not restrict it just to fire sprinklers.
10:29:07 AM Belgrade City-County Planner Jason Karp What we would have to do is, we would make, it's listed as covenant L right now in my misnumbered formatted covenants, but it would be worded so that that would be an option if fire hydrants are not provided within the subdivision, then each dwelling unit shall be provided by an automatic fire sprinkler system...Then we would have to add a condition #22, yeah, we'd have to add another condition, well it would be new condition #21 and then we'd put the existing #21 to condition #22 and that would list specifically the three fire protection packages and allow the applicant to choose one. And then we have to have the covenants in there because the sprinklers come later, the other two options would come at final plat approval.
10:30:05 AM Chairman Murdock Would the motion accept the one who made the motion and the second accept that amendment to include those amendments and additions?
10:30:14 AM Commissioner Skinner I would do that.
10:30:15 AM Commissioner White  I agree with that.
