Planning and Zoning Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Planning and Zoning Administrator to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of all citizens and neighborhoods of the City of Bowman through the professional administration and equitable enforcement of the City of Bowman’s zoning code and ordinances.  Similarly, it is also the Commission and Administrator’s mission to simultaneously maintain an atmosphere for business and industry to thrive by assisting developers and businesses in achieving compliance with the laws and policies adopted by the Bowman Planning and Zoning Commission, City Commission and those of the state and federal legislatures.

 

March 22, 2017

At the March 21, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission held a public hearing on the review of the final amendments to the “Land Development Code” (or more popularly known as “Chapter 6 Zoning Ordinances”).  After due consideration of the updates brought forward to the City Commission by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the final draft was unanimously approved 5-0.  The new amendments take effect immediately.  The updates include expansion of the definitions section, expansion of the uses allowed in each zoning district, the creation of new zoning districts, the inclusion of new design standards for development, and the refinement of the roles and responsibilities of city staff when implementing the Land Development Code.

 

Work will soon begin on the remainder of the chapters of the city’s municipal code.  Many of these chapters are out of date and need to be brought into compliance with newly passed legislation by the state of North Dakota.  The public is invited to attend all hearings related to this task.  If you have any questions, please call Bowman City Hall at 701-523-3309.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR BROSZ DEVELOPMENT:

 

Public hearing for Case No. LDC#24-01 ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FROM MH-1 TO R-1, PLAT MODIFICATION APPROVAL, AND A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR DUPLEXES.   Danny S. Brosz Living Trust is requesting: 1) approval of a zone change from MH-1 (Manufactured Home Park-1) to R-1 (Residential-1), 2) a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for duplexes in R-1 and Plat Modification.  The site is being requested to be rezoned to allow four family duplexes.  The site is situated in Block 75 (46 feet of lot 7 and Block 76 (Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4) in County Auditor’s Plat #3, also known as 404 3rd Avenue SE and 312 3rd Avenue SE.

 

Brosz wants to clean up the mobile home utilities and make it into a development with duplex housing.  There will be a common road with a valley gutter in the middle draining towards the sewer storm drain across the street, and it will be a private road.  They will belong to an HOA that will be responsible for removing snow.  Two duplexes will be facing south and two north. He is working with Bill Mason and Justin Kruger on the water and sewer connections.  There will be a 2” water line on each side and an easement for the road where the driveway is, there will be an easement on each side so each one will have its own meter.  The sewer is deep there, and it has been slip lined already.   He said it would be easier to hook to the sewer to the north.  He isn’t sure what he will do with the lot behind Kelsey Brosz’s house, the water will come in on the south side of the lot, he may sell it to someone else, not sure at this point.  He has been working with Cashway Building Center to make blueprints for a two-bedroom home with a large master suite and is trying to make them as affordable as possible.

 

Motion by Reisenauer, second by Fisher to approve the zone change from MH-1 to R-1, the Conditional Use Permit to allow Duplexes in R-1 and the replat of the South 46’ of Lot 7, Block 75 of the County Auditors Plat #3, Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Block 76 of the County Auditors Plat #3, Now Known As: Lots 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D of South 46’ of Lot 7, Block 75 of the County Auditors Plat #3 and Lots 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1 E, 1F, 1G, 1H, and 1I of Block 76 of the County Auditors Plat #3.  AIF, MC.
