Bridger Creek
Subdivision Community Association
Special Board of
Directors’ Meeting
Wednesday, November 29,
2017
The meeting was called
to order at 6:00 pm at Karin Jennings’ house.
Board
members: Sharyn Anhalt, Tom Wilson, Dian
Bottcher, Dorick Savageau and Karin Jennings were present.
Approval of Minutes – A motion was made to approve
the minutes from the November 4, 2017 meeting, which was seconded and the
minutes were approved unanimously.
Stormwater System Update – Tom reported that he has been in
communication with Jim Ulman (Engineer at Morrison Maierle) and has received a
bid for $2,500 relating to review of and planning for maintenance of the
stormwater systems on Association and Golf Course Partner’s (GCP) properties.
He will forward the email to the Board for review and further discussion.
Follow-up on Transfer of
the Trail – Sharyn
reported that BCSCA’s lawyer Eric Nord prepared a Quitclaim Deed for transfer
of the Phase 1 trail parcel from GCP to the Association. The Board has reviewed
the deed and Sharyn will ask Eric to prepare a final document and forward it to
Jack Schunke to provide for GCP’s signature and return for filing with the
County Clerk and Recorder’s office.
12 Acre Murphy Property/Easement – After the decision of the board at
the Nov 4th meeting to not negotiate an easement, the board received
new communication and has agreed to discuss possible conditions for allowing
access from Boylan Road to the 12 acre Murphy (Bridger Center LLC) property.
Following discussion of goals for negotiating an access easement, which were
determined to be minimizing density/traffic and financial impacts to BCSCA, the
following conditions were summarized in order for the Board to grant public
access to the Bridger Center LLC property from Boylan Road:
1)
Development
shall be zoned R1 to provide for minimum density.
2)
The
property is accepted by the City of Bozeman for annexation with R1 zoning, with
adoption of covenants and design standards substantially similar to those of
the Bridger Creek Subdivision Community Association. The goal is to provide for
minimum density of development and similar architectural standards to the adjoining
neighborhood. The Board discussed the possibility of requiring that the Murphy
property join BCSCA, but agreed that the expense and logistics of that
requirement make it impractical.
3)
BCSCA
shall be reimbursed for legal fees totaling $3700 that were incurred in order
to grant the sewer/water easement to the City of Bozeman that benefits the
Murphy property, and that was recorded as a part of the Links site plan
application. In addition, Murphy will reimburse BCSCA for all costs to complete
any contracts or easement documents related to granting the proposed access
easement from Boylan Rd to the Murphy property.
4)
In
exchange for negotiating, executing and recording the final access easement
(which will not occur until the Murphy property has been annexed to the City of
Bozeman with R1 zoning) Bridger Center LLC shall pay BCSCA $20,000.
5)
These
listed conditions will be incorporated in an agreement between BCSCA and
Bridger Center LLC. The agreement will be drafted by Bridger Center LLC’s
attorney and reviewed by BCSCA’s attorney, and the Board will meet again to
discuss and consider the final version of the agreement. Once this agreement
has been accepted by both parties, Bridger Center LLC will drop the Appeal of
the Links site plan prior to the December 13, 2017 City of Bozeman Commission
meeting.
Tom made a motion
to accept these conditions as written above and to forward them to Murphy/Bridger
Center LLC for preparation of a draft agreement. The motion was seconded and
approved with four (4) votes, with Dorick abstaining due to his role as Golf
Course Partners’ Representative to the Board.
Sharyn asked for the
minutes to reflect that she approved the motion with the condition that GCP
move forward in cooperating with BCSCA on the stormwater system located on both
parties properties, and execute the quitclaim deed discussed earlier.
The meeting was
adjourned at 8:05 pm.
