BACKGROUND:* Stillwater Meadows LLC has requested a growth policy amendment
on a 640 acre site. The owners are requesting to amend the growth policy designation
on the property from Suburban Residential to Urban Residential. The 640 acre project
site can be described as all of Section 35 of Township 29 North, Range 22 West,
Principle Meridian, Montana. Section 35 is bounded on the east by Stillwater Load,
south by Four Mile Drive, west by Spring Creek Road and north by West Reserve
Drive.
The planning n i n g board held a public hearing on the requested growth policy amendment
on May 22, 2007. The information from that meeting including minutes, staff report
and application materials have already been forwarded to you. State law requires the
City Council to pass a Resolution of Intent to Adopt, Revise or Reject a Growth Policy
Amendment prior to actually taking action on the proposed amendment. It has been
the policy of the city to hold a public hearing on any Growth Policy Amendment. In
addition, the applicants have requested a public hearing so as to dispel any
appearance that they are trying to rush the project through. 'Therefore, in order to
take action on the requested growth policy amendment, the City Council will need to
approve the Resolution of Intent at the July 2 meeting. This would then set the stage
for the public hearing and council action at the July 16 council meeting. Staff will
provide a brief presentation of the project proposal at the July 16 meeting. Prior to the
July 16 meeting the council will receive a memo addressing the questions raised by
council at the June 25 work session.
RECO -MUVIENDATION* Approval of the Resolution of Intent to Adopt, Devise or Deject
the Growth Policy Amendment request and setting the public hearing to act on the
amendment for July 16 would be in order.

Respectfully submitted,
Sean Conrad
