Norton Ranch – Phases 1 – 4 CITY OF BOZEMAN STANDARD DETAILS Trail totem MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development FROM: Carolyn Poissant - Parks RE: RPAB Subdivision Review Committee Report DATE: June 5, 2018 SUBJECT: Meeting date: May 31, 2018 17490 - Norton Ranch Ph 4 Subdivision 18194 – Site 17 Townhomes RPAB SRC - DRC PROJECTS reviewed 5/31: • App # 17490: Norton Ranch Ph 4 – small park with wetlands and trail o Motion: I hereby move to recommend approval of the applicant’s park proposal for a 0.82-acre park dedication, including a gravel fines trail with 2 totems and a bench on a concrete pad with an adjacent 5’ x 5’ ADA seating area (as per staff memo – attached), with preservation of the existing 8000 SF wetland as part of the park.  Discussion comments: 1) Concern was expressed regarding amount of wetlands and ponds being dedicated as parkland in this area vs. usable park open space with amenities. The SRC wishes to review wetland reports in the future to better understand the role and function of wetlands that are included in park dedication acreage. Following explanation from staff and the applicant, the SRC acknowledges the need to preserve wetlands when critical for stormwater control and wildlife habitat values. 2) The SRC encourages the developer to work with existing and future residents and Park staff to determine what improvements and amenities should be installed in the various parks within the subdivision. Also, it is preferable to have neighborhood parks located along LOCAL streets as opposed to Collector / Arterial (too busy – unsafe and noisy). • App # 18194: Site 17 townhomes – CILP (infill) o Motion: I hereby move to recommend approval of the applicant’s proposal for cash in lieu parkland dedication for the construction of 16 dwelling units, for an amount of approximately $27,181, subject to appraisal.  Discussion comments: 1) With the PROST update, there should be sufficient information provided to inform developers as to the types of parkland and the amenities needed throughout the city (for park master plans as well as improvements in lieu and cash in lieu of parkland dedication project components).
