‘ (Subjecttoboard rovlowand. ..
‘ approval) ,
Meeting was called to order at 6:00
pm. by President Kinley Slauter. Pres-
ent were Jim Bridger, Ian Connors,
Justin Eli, and Doug Ellison
Minutes from the December 18
meeting were presented to the Board
for approval. Bridger made the motion
to approve minutes corrected to include
TRMF providing insurance for the Ad-
venture Park, Ell seconded. Motion
passed unanimously.
NO. 19-01 NAME: TRMF
LOCATION: Block 17, lots 1—4, 21-
24; Block 22, lots 1-4, lots 12-24
PROPOSAL: Construct ZipLine
Randy Hatzenbuhler from TRMF
. and Nick Lippert from JLG presented in-
formation on the proposed ZipLine. Re-
lated to responder access, they advised
that there have been no emergencies at
the 70 similar installations but operators
will be trained to deal with emergencies
including using the documented failsafe
system which will bring the unit to the
ground. Related to noise, the only
equipment sound comes from a com-
pressed air stop at the end, most noise
comes from the riders. it is recom-
mended the pole be painted to match
the butte as much as possible, with
other camouflage added if needed. The
ride will last about a minute.
The tower will be about 110 feet
high. Connors read the Ordinance and
commented that the apparent issue is
to balance new structures that could de-
tract against the economic aspects.
Bridger questioned how historic this in-
stallation would be. Connors come
merited the ZipLine is of concern as you
can see it versus ground level features.
Bridger feels the obligation is to act ac-
cording to the Ordinance, and the Zi~
pLine will go over City property and
present opportunity for danger and ac—
cidents. Ell asked if TRMF can get in-
surance with it crossing the street,
Randy responded that it will not be built
it they can't insure it and TRMF under—
stands that they are responsible for in-
suring all aspects. Ellison asked if the
Police have concerns about the dis-
, traction of drivers, etc. Chief Lapp said
it is all about personal safety, drivers will
likely stop to observe and the conse-
quences are unknown, but if you want
to attract people you will likely need to
be innovative like this but it will be dis-
tracting. Slauter read the City Attorney
opinion, there needs to be a Develop-
ment Agreement covering the project to
limit liability, etc. Sexton asked if other
installations have crossed streets, Lip-
pert responded yes;
Public input — they have seen the
Keystone ZipLine and feel that our
emergency responders can deal with
any issues. Other projects such as the
cell tower, malls, and Rough Rider hotel
have created change but have been in-
tegrated and dealt with and this project
can be handled also. Clarence Sitter
said he shared the concept with the
school principal and they are excited
about the project. An older version of
the lay out came with the application, ,_’
what version is correct? Randy re- ‘
sponded that the version handed out .
tonight is what is proposed.
Public Input drainage toward the
Lutheran Church needs to be managed
and need to assure there is continued 1
access past the MCC to the Lutheran
Church. Slauter stated he hopes the
overall plan provides for more safe
streets and run off management. TRMF,
the plan includes keeping the street by
the MCC functional and provides ac-
cess to the back of the MCC. How will
kids be kept out of danger? TRMF,
there will be fences around the ameni-
ties. What will the hours be? Randy,
most likely 10am to 7pm, but it depends
on the demand for later hours. Com-
ment, the Cowboy Hall of Fame Board
feels this would be a topnotch addition.
The request today is only for the Zi-
pLine, the remainder of the Adventure
Park will be brought forward in pieces.
Ellison thanked the public for attending
and expressing their feelings, he feels
the challenge is how to maintain histor-
ical integrity while allowing for en-
hanced experiences. Slauter
commented that he appreciates the his—
tory of Medora and he knows some
people don’t feel the ZipLine fits histor-
ical integrity but he feels it gets people
closer to the badlands and gives them a
better appreciation for what is here and
the installation will be low key with no
lights, etc. Slauter stated that as an em-
ployee of TRMF, there is a potential for
conflict of interest. Since there is no di-
rect and substantial personal or pecu-
niary interest in the matter, I intend to
participate as necessary in the action
Public — were the people who live
closest notified, including Mary Lou
Ryden? The Zoning procedure covers
this and people, including Mary Lou,
were notified.
A motion to accept as presented
failed for a second. Conners moved that
the proposed ZipLine Construction as
presented be approved contingent on a
Development Agreement being devel-
oped and executed with the City with
City Engineer and City Attorney input.
Ellison seconded. Two voted in favor,
two voted opposed. Slauter stated that
as an employee of TRMF, there is a po-
tential for conflict of interest. Since there
is no direct and substantial personal or
pecuniary interest in the matter, I intend
to participate as necessary in the ac-
tion. Slauter as President voted in favor
of the motion to break the tie. Motion
carried.
MCC Exterior Remodeling — Slauter
stated that an architect has been en-
gaged to provide some options for the
look of the MCC exterior remodeling
and he is asking for Zoning members
input on the direction to be given to the
architect. The current exterior is worn
and the appearance is not good. Ellison
commented that the look of the public
restrooms seems good. Slauter agreed
as he feels they don’t look plastic and
the composite material weathers well.
In response to a question on current
thinking, Slauter added that he would
suggest lap siding like the Rough Rider
and the restrooms on three sides, but
he would suggest keeping much of the
original design and current shape on
the front side with new materials and
use the different angles and height
changes to add interest. Connoretoom-
mented that he likes the look of the Old
Town Hall,'the Little Mo, and the Pizza
Parlor where there is some wood in
front and three sides of more durable
material. Input was the darker color ma-
terial should continue to be used. Sex-
ton commented that we need to be sure
to budget for maintenance. Slauter
stated that we can have the sides and
front use different materials to help with
maintenance, etc. The current estimate
for the work is $200,000 but this will be
better determined as specifications are
set. Bridger commented that he likes
wood on the front as it helps with the
historic feel, the exterior of the Little M0
is a good example but it does need
maintenance. Slauter commented that
the experience on the Pizza Parlor and
Rough Rider indicate that staining every
3 years on the south may be needed.
Conners feels that the City Council will
need to decide what is acceptable for
maintenance but he prefers the wood
look on the front side and the darker
color. Slauter stated the architect will
provide software images of various op-
tions and indicate maintenance re-
quired for the Council and Zoning to
review. Connors asked if the City will
bring an application to Zoning before
proceeding. Slauter replied, yes.
Ellison moved the meeting be ad-
journed, Ell seconded. Meeting ad-
journed at 7:30 pm.
