M. 1947. were discussed. City Engineer Waldorf presented a sketch to show that the present city limits of Bozeman embraoe an area of approximately 4 square miles but inclusion of all ground within three miles of the present city limits would inolude I an area of more than 60 square miles and it appears impractical to attempt overall planning fOr such an extensive area. All available data on planning indicates a primary necessity for setting a t~e limit on which to project plans and recommends that the limit be not more than from 20 to 30 years. From this viewpoint, and considering past growth of this city, it was suggested that growth of Bozeman in area within such a projected time might average extension to a half mile beyond the present oity limi ts . It was therefore moved by Commissioner Erwin, seoonded by Commissioner SWanson, the. t the following policy be established for the guidance of the Director of Publio Service and information of 469 all persons who may plat g;round within three miles of the Bozeman city limits: 1. On any ground platted within one-half mile from the city limits, the plat shall be made to conform to the general plan of this ci~ as to streets. alleys, parks and all similar matters before the plan will be approved by the Director of Public Service. I 2. On any ground platted within three miles of the city limits, and when such glQund is more than one-half mile from the city limits, the Director of Public Service may a~prove such plat without special requirements as to dedication of streets, alleys, and parks or playgrounds provided the plat is made as required by Montana Statutes and is not obviously wrong in the way it is made up.
