NORTHEAST URBAN RENEWAL BOARD BUDGET FY 2017 PROPOSAL
TO THE BOZEMAN CITY COMMISSION In 2005, the Bozeman City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1655 which formally enacted the
Northeast Urban Renewal Plan. The stated mission of the plan and general goals are as follows:
DISTRICT PLAN MISSION/VISION “This Plan is the City’s response to remedy the conditions of blight found in the August 2005 [Blight]
Report. The Plan also addresses other issues important to the District. The Plan’s purpose is to ensure
the vitality of the Northeast Urban Renewal District (NURD) the vitality of the NURD for generations to come and to make the NURD an area in which its citizens can take exceptional pride. The Plan envisions a mixed use neighborhood that is user friendly, safe, secure and healthy. While this Plan envisions a District with diversity of housing businesses and amenities, it intends to maintain the
unique ambiance and historic character of the District”.
Nine principles were developed for the plan. Each of the principles has one or more goals associated with the plan, some of which specifically relate to this work plan while others represent general objectives and directives. The Northeast Urban Renewal Board (NURB) goals are as follows:
GENERAL GOALS:
Outdated or insufficient infrastructure should be repaired, replaced, or otherwise improved.
Provide public utilities to the area efficiently in ways that are not visually or physically
obtrusive.
Encourage a land use pattern that facilitates all modes of transportation – vehicular,
bicycle, pedestrian, mass transit, and commercial – for safe, efficient and convenient access for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
Harmonize commercial and industrial development with residential quality of life.
New structures should be designed and built keeping in mind the public values of
durability, flexibility, and simplicity. Thoughtful consideration of design, materials, and
massing in the construction of new private buildings will add strength and character to the built environment. To the degree that the private sector can be influenced by a public partner in development, the community ought to strongly encourage excellence
in urban design as a basis of partnership.
Promote sustainable building practices and design within the district
Procure new land for park and open space
Improve landscaping in existing public spaces
Neither the City of Bozeman nor any of its subdivisions shall use eminent domain to
take private property for private use in the implementation of an urban renewal project
or similar redevelopment plan.
Encourage the City to help ensure the success of the Northeast Urban Renewal Plan by giving a high priority to the Northeast District in its capital improvements plan.
213
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 2
Work with neighborhoods and businesses to ensure actions taken in the district are
compatible with adjacent developed areas.
Work with the City to ensure actions taken outside of the District are compatible with projects inside of the District
BACKGROUND
In 2010, the Northeast Urban Renewal Board began implementing plans and projects reflecting their
three funding priorities: 1) Parks, Trails and Greenspace; 2) Infrastructure and 3) Neighborhood Development Plan.
2016 AT-A-GLANCE
In FY 2016, the Board continued to work on its priorities. While the Board, with the assistance of
Morrison-Maierle, had previously identified the elements to be included in the final special design standards for East Peach Street and East Tamarack Street/Front Street/North Ida Avenue within the
district boundaries, the plans have not yet been completed or adopted by the City Commission. The
next step is to get those documents finalized and adopted. The Board has expressed its intent to
issue bonds to accomplish those street improvements once all of the approval processes have been
completed and has begun the initial steps in the bonding process. The Board recognized the need to retain a consulting engineer to assist in moving projects forward in a more timely manner and, after
soliciting proposals and interviewing firms, retained KLJ Engineering.
The only street improvement project that has been moving forward through the design process is
North Wallace Avenue because that was identified by City staff as one of the community’s highest priorities. That project has been a top priority for staff and the consulting engineer, which has
caused the Board’s high priority projects to languish. The North Wallace Avenue street
improvements are being bid this spring, with work to be undertaken as soon as possible and
completed in the fall.
This fiscal year, the Board was approached by Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT) about providing
some funding for the Front Street trail, which is to extend from North Rouse Avenue to North
Wallace Avenue. The Board recognized the importance of this trail connection, even though only
the southeasternmost end of it actually lies within the district. As a result, the Board committed the
monies needed to complete the fundraising portion of the project.
The Board continued to demonstrate its commitment to preserving the District’s historic character
by monitoring any proposals that might impact historic properties, including any potential for
preservation and possible re-use of the Depot. The Board is vigilant in monitoring new proposed
development within the District, to ensure its compatibility with the historic mixed use character of the area.
MOVING FORWARD – FY2017
The Board continues to support opportunities to work with Montana Rail Link and Burlington
Northern Santa Fe on preservation and rehabilitation projects for the passenger depot.
The Board has also agreed to commit monies to the North Wallace Avenue street improvements
completed under a special improvement district. This action will result in tax increment financing
monies being used to pay what would have been special improvement district assessments for those
properties lying within this district and fronting along North Wallace Avenue.
214
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 3
The Board plans to actively pursue the issuance of bonds to fund construction of several
infrastructure projects, including East Tamarack Street and East Peach Street improvements, in accordance with the special design standards once they are adopted.
Since the Board has decided to pursue the issuance of bonds, the work plan and budget for this
upcoming year are significantly different from those of past years, with several projects being
removed from the list.
The Board has specifically designated the following projects as urban renewal projects n the
following ranked order of priority:
1. East Tamarack Street reconstruction
2. East Peach Street reconstruction 3. Pedestrian R/R crossing upgrades at North Wallace Avenue
4. East Aspen Street / Pedestrian Bridge
5. Alternative Front Street reconstruction
6. Alternative North Ida Avenue reconstruction
7. Alternative Quiet Zone Feasibility Study
Furthermore, the Board has pledged to designate future annual tax increment to tax increment
urban renewal revenue bonds authorized by the Bozeman City Commission.
NORTHEAST URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS INFRASTRUCTURE
Poor pedestrian connectivity within the District is well documented. Lack of street improvements
including missing curb, gutter, pavement and sidewalks creates an unwelcoming and potentially unsafe environment for pedestrians and bicyclists. A lack of stormwater drainage facilities leads
to the ponding of water in public rights-of-way, encouraging pedestrians to walk in the street and
emphasizing the need for street improvements. The District has a historic mix of light
manufacturing and residential uses creating a more urban environment on the streets, especially
during business hours. Modest improvements to pedestrian facilities to create safer more welcoming routes for pedestrians will reduce conflict between users. The lack of street
delineation/improvements and stormwater facilities has caused an unknown number of
individuals to use some sections of the District as dumping grounds for unwanted appliances and
furniture. Street improvements coupled with improvements to trails and parks and the
landscaping of public spaces will improve conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists and reduce, if not eliminate, dumping in the public right-of-way.
Making improvements to sidewalks on unimproved streets comes with some difficulty especially
if elevation differences are present across the width of the right-of-way and if a need to improve
stormwater drainage is warranted as well. What seems like a rather simple project turns into a large scale street improvement project. Without additional information, moving forward on these
improvements is difficult, so survey and design is the first step. Regarding design, the Board
recognizes that creative solutions are needed to enhance the public right-of-way for two very
different user types in the District. In support of improvements to these streets, the Board has
allocated a portion of the budget to the following deficient street sections in the District:
215
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 4
East Peach Street – Sidewalks, Storm Water control, Landscaping
Construction $ 387,400 Initial survey and the design for East Peach Street improvements have been completed. The Board approved the design in November 2011. City advisory boards have reviewed the design,
and the Commission has approved the design, but it has not yet been adopted by ordinance. It
has also been determined that the design has not been fully completed and the plans and
specifications have not yet been compiled for going to bid on this project. The Board has decided to fund the engineering needed to complete the design and bidding process from its TIF funds this year, in anticipation that the final plans and construction documents will be prepared this
year, with bidding to occur in late Fall or early Winter 2016 and construction to be undertaken in
Spring 2017.
The Board has chosen to issue tax increment financing bonds to cover the costs of constructing several infrastructure improvements over the next couple construction seasons, including this
one.
East Tamarack Street $ 385,900 Morrison-Maierle has completed the initial survey and design work for special street standards for East Tamarack Street, Front Street and North Ida Avenue; and this Board approved those
designs at its September 2014 meeting. The final design is to be prepared and submitted to
advisory boards for comment and then to the Commission for its action. After the Commission
approves the design standards for these roadways, the next step will be preparation of an ordinance that adopts the special design standards for these roadways and those for East Peach Street.
The Board has now chosen to split this project into different pieces, with the East Tamarack
Street improvements selected as its top priority project. As a result, this section pertains to the East Tamarack Street improvements only.
The Board has decided to fund the engineering needed to complete the design and bidding
process from its TIF funds this year, in anticipation that the final plans and construction
documents will be prepared this year, with bidding to occur in late Fall or early Winter 2016 and construction to be undertaken in Spring 2017.
The Board has chosen to issue tax increment financing bonds to cover the costs of constructing
several infrastructure improvements over the next couple construction seasons, including this
one. Front Street/East Aspen Street $ 193,700
A significant amount of design work is still needed for the improvements to Front Street and East
Aspen Street adjacent to depot park, particularly with the storm drainage issues near the depot.
The Board has budgeted some TIF monies this year for continued work on the designs for these street improvements. These are listed as low priority projects for the use of bond monies and will be constructed only if monies are available after the other top priority projects have been
completed.
216
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 5
North Ida Avenue $ 290,500
A significant amount of design work is still needed for the improvements to North Ida Avenue,
due in large part to the narrow right-of-way available, the proximity of buildings to the right-of-way line, and storm drainage issues. The Board has budgeted some TIF monies this year for
continued work on the design for these street improvements. This is listed as the lowest priority
project for the use of bond monies and will be constructed only if monies are available after the
other top priority projects have been completed.
North Wallace Avenue Construction $ 100,000
The North Wallace Avenue design has been completed and a special improvement district created
to cover the costs that the adjacent property owners are to cover. Since this project is subject to
the City’s reconstruction process, the reconstruction fund will cover 85 percent of the basic costs
while the special improvement district will fund 15 percent of the basic costs and 100 percent of the additional enhancements desired by those within the SID boundaries. Based on the low bid
received for this project, the principal SID costs to property owners within the tax increment
financing district is just under $100,000. The Board has expressed its intent to use TIF monies
currently on hand to pay those costs after the work has been completed and the assessment
resolution adopted, but prior to the assessments being made.
Pedestrian Railroad Crossing Upgrades $ 50,000
The Board has determined that upgrades to the pedestrian railroad crossing at North Wallace
Avenue/L Street are critical, particularly in light of the impending development of the Story Mill
Park and the North Wallace Avenue reconstruction. The Board wishes to fund upgrades that can be easily and quickly designed and installed. Conversations with Montana Rail Link have
revealed that work done within the railroad right-of-way is to be done by its crews, with those
costs to be borne by those making the request. The estimated cost of making the crossing
upgrades that are acceptable to both Montana Rail Link and this Board is $50,000. Initial
conversations with representatives from Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the City’s Parks Department reveal that both entities recognize the crossing also provides enhanced trail
connections and, as a result, may contribute some monies toward the upgrade.
Pedestrian Bridge/East Aspen Street right-of-way between North
Rouse Avenue and Bozeman Creek $ 166,200 These projects have been budgeted separately in previous years but have been combined this year since the Board recognizes the need to improve the pedestrian facilities along East Aspen Street if
the pedestrian bridge is to be installed and dump pedestrians onto an area that is ill prepared to
handle the traffic.
Board members previously identified the need for a pedestrian bridge at the terminus of East Aspen Street and the North Church Avenue trail east of North Rouse Avenue. East Aspen Street
comes to an end at Bozeman Creek; and the use along this section is largely residential with a
retail store (butcher shop) at the southeast corner of North Rouse Avenue and East Aspen Street.
During FY11, the NURB received positive feedback from the Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) on the project and Gaston Engineering completed a feasibility study and cost estimates. Construction of the bridge was estimated between $52,470 and $57,715. The
Board has previously budgeted $60,000 for the bridge. This year the new draft floodplain and
floodway map was prepared and is now subject to review and comment prior to its final adoption.
This map has dramatically impacted the area where the bridge is proposed, and the costs of that
217
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 6
bridge installation are now double the original estimate because of the additional span that will be
needed. As a result, the monies previously budgeted will fund approximately half of the project.
Also, questions have been raised about whether there is adequate room for the bridge installation given physical constraints of the area.
The Board realizes that the right-of-way for East Aspen Street and the location of the street
within that right-of-way need to be identified in light of the potential for future infrastructure
improvements. Since this is an older part of town, original corner pins are not easily found. A survey of this right-of-way was completed a few years ago, but that survey must be reviewed to
determine the edges of the street right-of-way, which will make future street improvements easier
to design as well as allow property owners to know exactly where their property lines are located.
This information may also help with the future improvements to North Rouse Avenue.
Quiet Zone – Feasibility Study $ 25,000
Board members have expressed an interest in pursuing a quiet zone for the North Wallace Avenue
railroad crossing. The first step in that process is to complete a diagnostic review of the crossing
to identify the type of improvements needed to allow for a quiet zone. The Board also recognizes
that the railroad crossing at North Rouse Avenue is close enough to this district that it also impacts the lives of the residents within this tax increment financing district. It is hoped that this
diagnostic review will provide information that will encourage others to recognize the viability
and desirability of funding the installation of the quiet zones at both locations.
If the diagnostic review reveals that a quiet zone is determined beneficial to the community and financially feasible, the Board may choose to actively pursue community support for installation
of a quiet zone on the North Wallace Avenue crossing. This may include some financial
commitment toward the construction project, with those monies potentially coming from the tax
increment or possibly the bond proceeds.
Public Arts Program $ 5,000
The North Wallace Avenue street reconstruction project includes a traffic circle and a median.
Those elements are to include pads for the potential future installation of sculptures, possibly
through a rotating art program.
Given the number of artists within this district and immediately surrounding area, it is important
to recognize this component of the district’s character. One option might be to use this funding
as matching funds for a grant that would facilitate placement of additional artwork throughout the
district. Other options might include using these monies to provide some type of special intersection crossings at the entrances to the district or to provide some type of artistic
enhancement on a bridge or bridges providing entrance to the district.
Infrastructure Total $ 1,603,700
Rationale: The infrastructure improvements meet Guiding Principle 1 and Goals A & B under
Principle 1 of the adopted Northeast Urban Renewal District Plan:
• Guiding Principle, “Ensure the health, safety, and security of the District”
• Goal A, “Outdated or insufficient infrastructure should be repaired, replaced or
218
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 7
otherwise improved.”
• Goal B, “Encourage a land use pattern that facilitates all modes of transportation – vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, mass transit, and commercial – for safe, efficient and convenient access for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.”
The spending of TIF funds on infrastructure improvements is allowed under Section 7-15-4288,
MCA which states, “Costs that may be paid by tax increment financing” allows the municipality to use tax increments to pay the following costs of or incurred in connection with an urban renewal project: (1) land acquisition; (2) demolition and removal of structures; (3) relocation of
occupants; (4) the acquisition, construction, and improvement of infrastructure;… and 5) costs
incurred in connection with the redevelopment activities allowed under 7-15-4233…
PARKS, TRAILS AND GREENSPACE District Trails and Depot Pocket Park Area Maintenance $ 5,000
The original trail, landscaping and bench installation were completed in 2012. Landscaping
maintenance, including mowing and weed spraying, is on-going. Water is provided, as needed, from an adjacent property. The Board proposes continuing the operation of the temporary irrigation system, weed control and general maintenance. Weed control and general maintenance
may also be needed in other District trail areas. The Board is considering additional irrigation
improvements to enhance maintenance possibilities as well as an aggressive program to eliminate
knapweed in the East Aspen Street right-of-way. Parks/Trails Total $ 5,000
Rationale: The park, trail and greenspace improvements meet Guiding Principle 4 and Goals A &
B under Principle 4 of the adopted Northeast Urban Renewal District Plan:
• Guiding Principle, “Public open space is essential to a healthy and appealing
urban environment”
• Goal A, “Procure new land for parks and public open space”
• Goal B, “Improve landscaping in existing public spaces.”- to include enhancing
boulevards and public rights-of-way by planting and maintaining trees where appropriate and
controlling weeds
The spending of TIF funds on park and open space improvements is allowed under 7-15-4255,
Authority to provide or contract for services related to urban renewal, of the Montana Code
Annotated. Specifically, item (1b) states that “Every municipality shall have power to install,
construct, and reconstruct streets, utilities, parks, playgrounds, and other public improvements”
NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Depot Rehabilitation Project $ 1,000
The Northeast Urban Renewal Board recognizes the importance of the depot within the district.
Stabilization of the depot was accomplished, and some renewed interest in reuse of the depot has been expressed. If permission can be obtained from the railroad, the Board has expressed its
strong interest in taking any necessary steps to preserve and rehabilitate the structure.
219
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 8
Planning Total $ 1,000
Priority III Rationale: Neighborhood Development Planning meets Guiding Principle 2 and the Goal under Principle 2 of the adopted Northeast Urban Renewal District Plan:
• Guiding Principles, “Balance commerce and livability in the District within the mixed-use framework” AND “Honor the unique character and vitality of the District”
• Goal, “Harmonize commercial and industrial development with residential quality of
life”
• Implementation Action, “Where historic structures are affected by public or private
development, seek out the advice and assistance of local, state, or federal historic
preservation professionals for opportunities to renovate existing historic structures.” This funding proposal is for Neighborhood Plan implementation activities which are meant to
encourage developers to build on parcels within the Northeast Urban Renewal District. It
recognizes the complexities of redeveloping parcels which have existing substandard buildings
and infrastructure and was created to offset the costs of those complexities with grants for those
proposing work which eliminates blight and advances the implementation of the District Plan. Board proposes to award grants to reimburse developers for costs allowable under Section 7-15-
4288, MCA, but limited to public infrastructure.
These proposed expenditures are allowable under Section 7-15-4233, subsection (1)(a), MCA,
which grants the City the power to formulate and coordinate a workable program as specified in Section 7-15-4209, MCA, which states : (1) A municipality may formulate a workable program
for utilizing appropriate private and public resources:
(a) to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of blighted areas;
(b) to encourage needed urban rehabilitation;
(c) to provide for the redevelopment of such areas; or (d) to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities as may be
suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program.
(2) Such workable program may include, without limitation, provision for:
(b) the rehabilitation of blighted areas or portions thereof by re-planning, removing congestion,
providing parks, playgrounds, and other public improvements; by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation; and by compelling the repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating
structures; and
(c) the clearance and redevelopment of blighted areas or portions thereof.
Additionally, Section 7-15-4288, MCA states, “Costs that may be paid by tax increment financing” allows the municipality to use tax increments to pay the following costs of or incurred
in connection with an urban renewal project: (1) land acquisition; (2) demolition and removal of
structures; (3) relocation of occupants; (4) the acquisition, construction, and improvement of
infrastructure;… and 5) costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment activities
allowed under 7-15-4233…
220
Northeast Urban Renewal Board Annual Work Plan and Budget FY17 9
ADMINISTRATION
Part-time staff and other Administrative Services $ 13,000 The Board needs staff to assist with District Plan implementation. $10,000 is to be transferred to the Economic Development Division to offset the cost of staff time used to assist the NURB with
District Plan implementation. $3,000 is budgeted to cover administrative services. This money is
a permissible use under state statute 7-15-4288, (5), “costs incurred in connection with the
redevelopment activities allowed under 7-15-4233 and 7-15-4288 (7) “administrative costs associated with the managements of the urban renewal area…”
The Board has previously requested money for public noticing and mailings in the District to
inform property owners about NURB implementation and activities.
This money is a permissible use under state statute 7-15-4233, “Powers which may be exercised by urban renewal agency or authorized department…(f) to disseminate blight clearance and
urban renewal information;”
Bond Counsel services $ 30,000 The Board has decided it wishes to proceed with the issuance of bonds during FY17 to cover the costs of infrastructure improvements, as noted above. Some initial costs have been incurred this
fiscal year; however, most of those costs will occur next fiscal year.
Section 7-15-4290, MCA states “(1)(a) The tax increment derived from an urban renewal area may be pledged for the payment of revenue bonds issued for urban renewal projects or of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds or special assessment bonds issued to pay urban renewal costs
described in 7-15-4288 and 7-15-4289.”
Bond payment $ 55,000 It is anticipated that bonds will be sold this fiscal year to fund the infrastructure improvements previously identified in this work plan. The budget includes bond proceeds in the amount of $1.5
million. This amount may vary slightly based on the terms and interest rate of the bond sale.
Based on the budgeted amount, it is projected $110,000 will be needed annually to repay those
bonds. It is anticipated the bond sale will occur in the latter half of the fiscal year, so only one semi-annual payment, in the amount of $55,000, will be needed.
Bond reserve $ 33,000
TIF bonds are required to have 30 percent of the projected annual payment held in reserve.
Based on the budgeted amount, it is projected $110,000 will be needed annually to repay those bonds. The TIF bond reserve is projected to be $33,000 annually.
Engineering consultant services $ 60,000
While it is anticipated that most of the engineering consultant costs will be charged against the
specific projects, the consultant attends Board meetings and provides other assistance to the Board; and there is a potential that the consultant will be asked to provide additional services during the upcoming year that are not specific to any of the projects listed above. When that
occurs, those costs will be charged against this line item.
