189
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 10 of 17
The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the subdivision on August 7, 2017. The
meeting will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m.
SECTION 6 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, and plans, public comment, and all other materials available during
the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis is a
summary of the completed review.
Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.03.040, BMC
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The required plat has been provided. The provided plat appears to conform to all
requirements. A final plat will be provided for review prior to approval of the final project.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The application complies with all required submittal materials, has been reviewed and deemed
adequate for review and is now prepared for public hearing. Two public hearings will be held as
described on the title page. Conditions 1-4 in Section 3 will ensure completion of all remaining
steps if the plat is approved.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of
the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The required application and submittal materials were provided. The required public notice
was issued. Public hearings will be held before the planning board and city commission as
required by state law. Upon action by the city commission a formal findings of fact will be
prepared.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Section 38.23.040 sets standards for block length and width and rights of way for pedestrians are
required when those block standards exceed certain minimums. Blocks 24 and 25 exceed the
block length normally allowed. To the east and west are a watercourse and wetlands which limit
the ability to connect east to west as would normally be required.
The property of Block 25 is zoned primarily R-4. The remaining area is zoned R-3 but a zone
map amendment has been submitted to change the remaining area to R-4. The proposed change
in lot configuration is allowed under either district.
190
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 11 of 17
38.24.010 requires a second access to development and limits cul-de-sacs. Overall Phase 7 has
access from Harvest Parkway and Oak Street. Block 25 will require additional internal
circulation at time of development. Condition 9 addresses the balance of issues between access
spacing, pedestrian access, secondary access with the present uncertainty of final design for
Block 25. The condition requires with future development that a pedestrian and vehicular
connection be provided to meet the intent and purposes of the two sections.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and
installation of any necessary utilities
Standard front yard easements are provided for utilities. The future development of Block 25 will
likely require internal extensions of water and sewer mains. Review of those extensions will
occur during site development.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and
the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the
parcel
The revised plat has frontage which provides legal and physical access from Harvest Parkway,
Broken Spur Drive, and Windrow Drive. Harvest Parkway is part of phase six. Access to the
property overall is provided by Oak Street and Flanders Mill Road.
Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608 (omit for minor subdivisions)
1) Effect on agriculture
None, the property has previously been approved for urban density residential use.
2) Effect on agricultural water user facilities
No water user facilities are located within phase 7. The removal of condition 19 will allow a
continuation of existing water discharge to a stormwater and irrigation facility. The ditch
discharges to Baxter Creek further north. Phase 7 has historically drained to the same facility. No
material change to the ditch is expected.
3) Effect on local services
Water/Sewer - Municipal water and sewer capacity exists and was evaluated during the original
subdivision. The revised plat will require extension of future water and sewer mains within
easements with site development of Block 25. Block 24 will be serviced from Windrow Drive.
Streets - The changed plat will not change location or size of arterial or collector streets. All
required intersections are presently being upgraded. The revised plat will remove a segment of
Ryun Sun Way. Condition 9 provides for required future street connectivity through Block 25.
Police/Fire - The area is within the City’s emergency services area. No change in demand is
expected from this subdivision compared to the previously approved design.
191
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 12 of 17
Parklands – This issue was addressed with the original plat. No changes to park locations or size
are proposed. When Block 25 is developed, a second evaluation for park needs will be
conducted. If required, additional park mitigation will be provided.
4) Effect on the natural environment
No negative effects have been identified. The proposed removal of Condition 19 with facilitate
compliance with the approved 404 permit for wetland modification to open space U depicted on
the plat. The wetland will provide some habitat for small animals and fowls.
5) Effect on wildlife and wildlife habitat
No negative effects have been identified. The proposed removal of Condition 19 with facilitate
compliance with the approved 404 permit for wetland modification to open space U depicted on
the plat. The wetland will provide some habitat for small animals and fowls.
6) Effect on public health and safety
No negative effects on public health and safety have been identified.
Preliminary Plat Supplements
A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC prior to the original
preliminary plat on January 8, 2014. With the pre-application plan review application, waivers
were requested by the applicant from Section 38.41.060 “Additional Subdivision Preliminary
Plat Supplements” for several of the standard preliminary plat supplements due to the nature of
this previously platted/developed property. The following summary comments on the
supplemental information required with Article 38.41, BMC are primarily a repeat from the
original. Updates are clearly identified.
38.41.060.A.1 Surface Water
As described above, the proposed subdivision modifies two surface water elements. These are
the unnamed tributary to Baxter Creek and the irrigation facilities along Baxter Lane and
Flanders Mill Road. The existing and proposed locations have been identified and incorporated
within the subdivision design. Any piping of surface water will be sized as necessary to carry
flood flows.
Update: The removal of Condition 19 will allow water to cross from the site to the drainage ditch
west of Flanders Mill Road through a culvert. During initial review of the plat it was expected
that the amount of flow from Open Space U (along the west side of phase 7) could be adequately
managed on-site. Further investigation during the 404 permitting process for wetland
modification it has been determined that the open space is not adequate to contain the water and
overflow is needed. The ditch is the historic discharge from the site. The crossing point under the
road will be slightly modified and a new, adequately sized culvert, will be installed to carry the
flows. Culvert sizing will occur during plan and specification review for the road plans.
192
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 13 of 17
The text of Condition 19 reads: “19) Open Space U shall be configured with the wetlands
enhancement to capture overland discharge from the electrical substation tract and avoid surface
water discharges from Open Space U.”
38.41.060.A.2 Floodplains
No floodplains have been mapped. The required and depicted setback from the unnamed tributary will provide adequate area to carry any floodwaters.
38.41.060.A.3 Groundwater
It is known that there is high ground water underneath the site. Some of the on-site wetlands are fed by the groundwater which is recharged by adjacent irrigation facilities. It is expected that the piping of the irrigation return flow ditch along Flanders Mill may slightly lower the groundwater levels. Even so, they are expected to remain high. Condition 31of the original approval requires
that an advisory note be included on the Conditions and Notes sheet of the final plat so that
purchasers are made aware of this limitation. Due to the high ground water a soils report will be required with building permits to ensure that foundations are adequate to support the proposed structure. 38.41.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes
The site is mildly sloping to the north. The soils are of mixed character given the size of the site.
The proposed realignment of the unnamed tributary to Baxter Creek is placed such that the new location aligns with the existing hydric soils. This should aid in establishment of the proposed wetland enhancements. No unusual topographic features exist and no unusually cuts or fills are proposed. All of the Bozeman area is in an active earthquake zone and building codes are
implemented accordingly which lessens the related risks.
38.41.060.A.5 Vegetation
Addressed under the primary review criteria. 38.41.060.A.6 Wildlife
Addressed under the primary review criteria. 38.41.060.A.7 Historical Features
There are no known historical features on the site.
38.41.060.A.8 Agriculture
Addressed under the primary review criteria. 38.41.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities
Addressed under the primary review criteria. 38.41.060.A.10 Water and Sewer
Addressed under the primary review criteria.
38.41.060.A.11 Stormwater Management
A stormwater control plan was included with the application. A formal SWIPP will be required by the state due to the size of the disturbance. This will be coordinated with the relocation of the watercourse and the permitting necessary for that work. Stormwater ponds are depicted with the correct sizes and locations. A final plat and details will be reviewed and approved with the plans
and specifications for the infrastructure.
193
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 14 of 17
38.41.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys
Addressed under the primary review criteria.
38.41.060.A.13 Utilities
The site includes an existing electrical substation. The subdivision creates an independent lot for this facility. No changes to the substation are proposed as part of this subdivision. A large high voltage power line connects to this substation. The power line generally follows the alignment of
Oak Street which has a slightly wider right of way to accommodate the large power poles. A second above ground facility of lesser size parallels Flanders Mill Road. The applicant is working with Northwestern Energy to relocate some poles which would conflict with street intersections. Water and sewer extensions will be placed within future dedicated public streets. The lots depict
easements for placement of Essential Services Type I to service each lot. The easements will be granted with the Certificate of Dedication on each final plat. 38.41.060.A.14 Educational Facilities
The Bozeman School District’s review comments indicate they can accommodate the additional students expected from this development. The site is adjacent to the Meadowlark Elementary School and the purchased site for the second high school The site is within .75 miles of the Chief
Joseph Middle School. Pedestrian facilities connecting to the schools will be installed with development of the subdivision. Update: The school district has purchased a site for a second high school immediately to the SW of the intersection of Oak Street and Flanders Mill Road. The extension to Oak Street will
facilitate travel to the school. The pedestrian trails in the development and sidewalks will provide a convenient link for walking and biking. 38.41.060.A.15 Land Use
The proposal is to develop residences, open spaces and parks consistent with the approved zoning. The application as proposed meets the required residential density of Section 38.08.080.
The existing substation is properly located within the Public Lands and Institutions zoning district. 38.41.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities
See discussion above under Local Services. 38.41.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan
The two dedicated interior parks One and Two satisfy the requirements for neighborhood
centers.
38.41.060.A.18 Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required as part of minimum improvements. Conditions 26-29 address the issue. See Appendix H of the application for the lighting plan. See discussion under
the primary review criteria.
38.41.060.A.19 Miscellaneous
Supplemental information waived by the DRC.
38.41.060.A.20 Affordable Housing
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The Workforce Housing Ordinance, Article 10.08, BMC, has been suspended by the City Commission.
194
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 15 of 17
Update: The affordable housing regulations have been revised and are now incorporated as article 38.43, BMC. This application was deemed to be acceptable for review prior to the effective date of the new regulations and is not required to provide affordable housing with this plat. Future development of Block 25 may individually trigger affordable housing inclusion
depending on how it is developed.
APPENDIX A - PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The project site is designated as R-3, R-4 and PLI zones. The intent of each of these zones is
established in Chapter 38, Unified Development Code, BMC and is excerpted below. An
application is pending to rezone portions of the property from R-3 to R-4. The proposed
subdivision complies with either zoning district at this time.
From Section 38.08.010, BMC
A. The intent and purpose of the residential zoning districts is to establish areas within the
city that are primarily residential in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for
development within those areas. The purpose in having more than one residential district is to
provide opportunities for a variety of housing types and arrangements within the community
while providing a basic level of predictability. There is a rebuttable presumption that the uses set
forth for each district will be compatible with each other when the standards of this chapter are
met and any applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied. Additional requirements for
development apply within overlay districts. All development is subject to section 38.01.050.
Residential density is correlated with many community goals and objectives that are contained in
the city's adopted growth policy, as well as many standards and purposes of this chapter. Section
38.08.090 sets standards for minimum densities in residential districts which will advance these
goals, objectives, and purposes.
4. The intent of the R-3 residential medium density district is to provide for the development
of one- to five-household residential structures near service facilities within the city. It should
provide for a variety of housing types to serve the varied needs of households of different size,
age and character, while reducing the adverse effect of nonresidential uses.
5. The intent of the R-4 residential high density district is to provide for high-density
residential development through a variety of housing types within the city with associated
service functions. This will provide for a variety of compatible housing types to serve the
varying needs of the community's residents. Although some office use is permitted, it shall
remain as a secondary use to residential development. Secondary status shall be as measured by
percentage of total building area.
Section 38.13.010. Intent.
195
17266, Staff Report for the Flanders Mill Phase 7 Modification Subdivision Page 16 of 17
The intent of the PLI public lands and institutions district is to provide for major public and
quasi-public uses outside of other districts. Not all public and quasi-public uses need to be
classified PLI. Some may fit within another district; however larger areas will be designated PLI.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman Community Plan. The Plan
indicates that “This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density
dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low
intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential
areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of
services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile.
Implementation of this category by residential zoning should provide for and coordinate
intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation
indicates that it is expected that development will occur within municipal boundaries, which may
require annexation prior to development.”
The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings
per net acre.
APPENDIX B - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description: The original subdivision was of 136.75 acres into 295 lots. One PLI lot for
an existing electrical substation, 2 multi-household lots, and 292 single household lots including
16 lots for accessory dwelling units. The property is bounded by Baxter Lane on the north,
Flanders Mill Road on the west, and Ferguson Avenue/Gallatin County Regional Park on the
east. The application included a mix of single detached, single attached, and multi-household
development with a majority being for single detached style development.
The application to revise the plat will consolidate 18 lots into a single larger lot which will make
up all of Block 25. Phase 7 includes this enlarged lot as well as townhome and detached home
lots.
Project Background: The northern portion of the property was annexed and given municipal
zoning in the fall of 2013. There area south of Oak Street extended was annexed and given
preliminary plat approval as a portion of the Diamond Estates 2 and 3 projects in the mid 2000’s.
Those subdivision approvals expired. No entitlements from the prior development remain.
A preliminary plat for the entire subdivision was approved. The findings of fact were signed on
September 8, 2014. Three phases of the subdivision have been completed and final plats have
been filed. A fourth phase is presently being constructed.
