As noted in the informal review, the developer is proposing a mixed use redevelopment of the existing vacant site of the old Continental Motor Inn, KO's Club and Rainbow Auto as well as incorporation of the existing J&H Office Equipment property into our new Master Site Plan on East Main Street between Highland Boulevard and Haggerty Lane. The intent of the project is to create an East entrance into the City of Bozeman that will be a pleasing and inviting commercial node serving as the introduction to Main Street when approached from the East. We believe this redevelopment is one that has been sorely overdue and the Owners/Developers are inspired to create an entirely new and well designed eastern start to Main Street that will be a great transition and worthy of the well preserved, historic character of downtown Bozeman. The project is proposed to be completed in three phases, with the majority of the work scheduled in Phase 1, including the construction of the Blackmore Marketplace Building on the Southwest corner as well as the majority of the site work (parking, approaches and drive aisles) as shown in the submitted plans. Phases 2 and 3 will include the remaining two buildings along East Main Street and the parking immediately adjacent to those structures. Phase 2 or 3 may contain up to 12 residential units but those two phases have not been fully designed as of the date of this application. We are requesting that the open space and park land requirements be addressed at the time of Phase 2 or 3 submittals should residential units be proposed. We are requesting that these submittals be reviewed concurrently and are including the following required materials: Blackmore Marketplace Building: Development Review Application form A1 Development Review application fee of $21,055.00 Site Plan Checklist form SP1 Noticing Materials form N1 List of Property Adjoiners Cut sheet of proposed exterior light fixtures Storm water concept design report Color and Materials board (2) full size sets of required plans (9) half size sets of required plans (2) digital versions of all materials Blackmore Bend Master Site Plan: Development Review Application form A1 Development Review application fee of $1,785.00 Master Site Plan Required Materials form MSP Site Plan Checklist form SP1 Noticing Materials form N1 List of Property Adjoiners and stamped envelopes Blackmore Bend Design Guidelines Traffic Impact Study MDT preliminary approval letter (2) full size sets of required plans (9) half size sets of required plans (2) digital versions of all materials If you have any questions or need more information, please let us know.
