and frontage. There are existing encroachments on the proposed Lot 1 such as
small sheds, paved areas, an area used by a daycare, and a paved area to the
north along Metro West dealership property. Steve Grittman continued noting
K
that if there is future development of Lot 1, then those non -conformities would
be brought into compliance.

Steve Grittman walked through the Exhibit Z requirements. stating that city staff
also recommend a administrative conditions including required cross -access
assurance. Other conditions require that there is no outdoor storage of the tires,
and to specify the use of the canopy area proposed for the building.
Steve Grittman continued that city staff want to make sure there is no use of the
parking area for maintenance of the vehicles, and stated there is no concern
with the parking supply for customers or employees. He continued that staff is
requesting the building material for the canopy extension area comply with
building standards, all rooftop equipment is screened, and that no trash or waste
could extend higher than the screening walls. HE noted that large vehicle minor
repair would be a flexibility of the site. Steve Grittman concluded with the
amenity improvement near the stormwater area for a public use in tandem with
the original PUD that included small amenity improvements for the public. Staff
believes this is an appropriate use and recommends approval for the
development stage PUD and amendment to the Big River PUD.
Paul Konsor stated the questions he had regarding signage and materials were
addressed by Steve Grittman and asked about the adjustments for the
commercial building standard. Steve Grittman said the materials are generally
masonry for the majority of the building; staff has asked for metal siding for the
canopy extension area to be replaced with general commercial building
materials to match city standards.
Andrew Tapper asked if the materials need to be precast. Steve Grittman stated
that they do not.
Andrew Tapper said the screening looked complete, yet does not have a roof.
Steve Grittman stated the material for the screening area is not described and
the use is not confirmed from the applicant.
Paul Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item
Ron Issacson, 411 East Main Street, Bozeman, MT, 50015, addressed the
Commission on behalf of Les Schwab. In regards to Exhibit Z, he indicated that
the canopy building materials would be updated, and that the use is the same as
the other work bays, but is where a boat trailer could pull through to be worked
on. Regarding conditions relating to the bullpen area, he stated there is no
outdoor storage for the bull pen, and clarified that the bullpen is the larger 8' tall
fence, with a dark bronze steel slate with no spacing. He stated that the bull pen
is for spent tires are stored and picked up once a week. Regarding the expected
types of vehicles, he note that these are spelled out in the application narrative
with a variety of vehicle types that will vary; including, motorhomes, four
wheelers, boat trailers, pickups, cars, tractor trailers.
Paul Konsor stated they were not familiar with Les Schwab and asked for a rough
estimate of the number of vehicles that are coming through for tractor trailers
11
and RVs. The applicant stated it is mostly cars, but other types of vehicles may
pull off the freeway for a repair.
Paul Konsor inquired whether the applicant had evaluated the turning radius on
the private roads to accommodate these vehicles. The applicant stated that a
turn analysis was completed early on in the process with a tractor trailer used in
a simulation to make sure the circulation worked.
Paul Konsor asked why the bullpen was open on the top. Applicant stated that it
was standard for Les Schwab.
Charlotte Gabler stated the appreciation for the frequent pickup of tires and
noted that it is placed behind a fence. Shefollowed up with a question on why
Monticello was chosen for their next location. The applicant stated a retail study
showed an expansion into Minnesota after a recent push in North Dakota. The
demographics, economies, farm and ranch areas are attractive for the tire
changes.
Paul Konsor closed the public hearing portion of the agenda item.

Development District and Development and Final Stage Planned Unit
Development for Automobile Repair — Minor use.
Applicant: Valvoline, LLC
Steve Grittman opened with an overview of Big River 445 similar to the prior
item regarding the proposed Development Stage PUD and amendment to the
zoning ordinance.
This application request incorporates the final plans on Lot 2 of this portion of
the plat. Regarding configuration of the site, traffic will enter on the west,
circulate through the site, and with the nature of use vehicles will enter the
building. Passengers will stay in the vehicle and the vehicle exits when oil change
is complete along the internal access road. Regarding access, Steve Grittman
spoke of the shared driveway and that the site is reliant on the shared private
cross -access road.
Steve Grittman walked through the Exhibit Z requirements. These include final
plat recording for permitting, and an amended PUD district to incorporate final
site plans. Staff is recommending approval of the development stage PUD and
amendment to the planned unit development district.
Paul Konsor asked if there was an area for benches, as the previous applicant
was asked. Steve Grittman stated there is a sidewalk on the north side of the
site. The proximity of the prior application stormwater area was why it was
attached to the recommendation in that application.
Melissa Robeck asked if there was uniformity around the PUD building plans as
the buildings all have different looks.
Andrew Tapper stated that each development likes to have their own brand on
the buildings. Steve Grittman explained that common architecture was not a
requirement of the Big River 445 PUD, but stated that lighting and signage is
required to be in conformity, rather than the building materials.
Paul Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Jim Douthit, 11400, San Antonio, Texas, addressed the Commission, representing
the applicant. He stated that 100% of the materials that are worked with in the
proposed facility are recycled in a 15-minute oil change, with an estimated 15 oil
changes in a day on average, and explained the oil change process for the user.
All the work takes place inside the building, no work is done outside. Any water
that leaves the building goes through an oil and water separator so no oil leaves
the facility. The tanks at the lower level are filled by truck, and extract the old oil.
There are no oil cans or gallon drums on site. He noted that the trash enclosure
is similar to the building. He stated that several locations are being constructed
in the Minnesota market.
Paul Konsor asked if the tanks are used versus individually bottles. The applicant
stated that it would all be coming from the tanks that are serviced once a week.
Paul Konsor closed public hearing portion of the agenda item.
