Chronicle Newspaper
Tubes –
Comments have been
received via email from members on Augusta Dr regarding the recently installed
newspaper tubes on Augusta Drive and Boylan Road for the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle. The members do not like the appearance of the tubes, and question
whether the covenants support their removal.
It was suggested that
the Design Covenants would apply with respect to “harmonious design”, even
though items such as newspaper tubes and mail delivery receptacles are not
specifically covered. The Board noted that curbside mail and newspaper delivery
receptacles have existed in all three phases of the subdivision since inception
without any provision for Design Review. The members present at the meeting
submitted a petition signed by about 30 members from Augusta Drive, and stated
they were seeking restrictions for the newspaper tubes on Augusta Drive.
The Board declined to
consider the petition since it represents just over 10% of the membership, and
suggested that the members present seek more signatures from throughout the
Association. The Board also suggested that the members work directly with the
Chronicle on alternate ways to deliver the newspaper.
Following discussion it
was agreed that Will Callahan would draft a letter for the Board to review and
send to the Chronicle on behalf of the members on Augusta Drive
Update on Tom Murphy (12
Acre Parcel Adjacent to Phase 1 Park off Boylan Road) – Public Hearings for a Zone Map

north are scheduled for October 13 for the County Planning Board and October
27 for the County Commission. They have submitted a joint application to
request a Zone Map amendment of the properties from Agricultural-Suburban (A-S)
to Industrial (M-I). The Board plans to submit comments to the Planning Board
ahead of the October 13th meeting.
