15574 – Yellowstone Theological Institute Preliminary Plat
1. The Committee discussed the proposed path along S. 19th Avenue at length. Brian
Krueger, Development Review Manager, pointed out the mix of 5‐foot sidewalks and 10‐
foot asphalt paths that exist along S. 19th Avenue. He suggested that at least one side of
S. 19th Ave. should consistently have a 10‐foot wide paved multi‐use path. Carolyn
Poissant, TOP Manager indicated that the department’s preference is for min. 10‐foot
concrete multi‐use paths to be constructed along major transportation corridors.
2. Recommendation: Three members were in support of a 10‐foot concrete multi‐use path
and also supported the applicant possibly seeking a variance to allow the path to
encroach into the watercourse setback to allow for additional separation between the
path and the proposed sport fields indicated on the plan (and in lieu of shifting the entire
footprint to the east). One member favored the 10‐foot asphalt multi‐use path option.
The Committee as a whole strongly expressed that major transportation corridors should
consistently be required to provide a paved, min. 10‐foot wide accessible multi‐use path, and
that this inconsistency between the UDC and the PROST Plan should be addressed in both the
code and the Transportation Plan so as to better serve the needs of non‐motorized
transportation throughout Bozeman.
