BEFORE THE BOZEMAN CITY COMMISSION
GALLATIN COUNTY, MONT ANA
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF mOMAS, FINDINGS OF FACT
DEAN & HOSKINS INC. FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE AND ORDER
GALLATIN PARK SUBDIVISION, ON BEHALF OF T ABLEROCK
VENTURES, INC. AND FUND O~ FUNDS, INC.
PURSUANT to the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act, Section 76-3-101 through 76-3-625,
Montana Codes Annotated, and the Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations, Bozeman Area Master Plan,
and Bozeman Zoning Ordinance, the Bozeman City Commission reviewed P-9844, a proposed
Preliminary Subdivision Plat for a 34 lot major subdivision as submitted in its original form by the
applicant on August 21, 1998, together with the required supplementary plans and information, to
determine if the information submitted meets the requirements of the Bozeman Area Subdivision
Regulations and the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act. The City Commission also considered public
testimony and the recommendation of the Bozeman City-County Planning Board concerning the
application.
It appeared to the City Commission that all parties and the public wishing to appear and comment
before the City-County Planning Board were given the opportunity to do so, and, therefore, being fully
advised of all matters having come before it regarding this application, the City Commission makes the
following Findings of Fact, as required:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I.
The application submitted by Thomas, Dean & Hoskins for approval to subdivide 29.686 acres,
owned by Tablerock Ventures, Inc. and Fund of Funds, Inc., into thirty-four lots and common open space
on property known as the southern third of Certificate of Survey 1988, located in the E 1Iz of Section 36,
T. IS, R. 5E, PMM, Gallatin County, Montana, was made on August 21, 1998. All tots in the subdivision
are for commerciallindustrial purposes and uses as allowed by the applicable zoning regulations.

II.
The comments of the Development Review Committee, along with those of the City-County
Planning Staff, were incorporated into a Staff Report, including suggested conditions of approval, which
was provided to the Bozeman City-County Planning Board for consideration at their October 20, 1998
regular meeting.
ill.
The site was posted with a notice of the public hearings and meetings to review the project and
informing interested individuals that materials were available for review in the Bozeman City-County
Planning Office. The same information was also published in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on October
6, 1998.
IV.
The Bozeman City-County Planning Board considered the application at their regular meeting on
October 20, 1998. The Planning Board found that the application was properly submitted and reviewed
under the procedures of the Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations and the Bozeman Area Zoning
Ordinance. Staff noted that the property to be subdivided was recently annexed and is the subject of a
zoning change which has not yet been completed, but that the application was in compliance with the
existing zoning.
Staff reviewed the findings which justifY the conditions, noting especially those conditions which
related to traffic generation and mitigation and wetlands.
The applicant and owner made a presentation in favor of the requested subdivision. The owner
requested that the Planning Board remove or modifY the requirement for installation of a sidewalk along
Manley Road. He also requested that the Planning Board remove Condition 24 regarding signalization of
the intersection of North 7th Avenue and Griffin Drive. The owner stated that since the intersection was
already in need of signalization the public or City should be responsible for the installation of the signal.
The Planning Board then opened the public hearing. One member of the public requested that the
property be zoned M-l to be compatible with development long Griffin Drive. One member of the public
noted that the neighborhood is not as heavily industrialized as may appear from the zoning designations,
noting that there are public recreation and wildlife facilities adjacent to the area to be subdivided. A
question was also raised relating to the proposed installation of trails in wetland areas. One member of
the public requested that plantings be placed along the river frontage to stabilize the river bank A
representative of the Montana Department ofFish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) noted concerns regarding
GALLA TIN PARK PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER Page 2

. .
contamination of water and possible impacts to the wetlands area to the west which has been developed.
He also expressed concerns relating to the impact oflandscaping within the subdivision on predation to
water fowl.
The 404 permit process to modifY wetlands was discussed by the Board, Staff, Owner, and a
FWP representative. It was noted that the property proposed to be subdivided has been master planned
and zoned for industrial uses for many years. It was noted that one of the recommended conditions of
approval requires a storm water master plan be prepared to address run-off and water contamination and
that further review would happen with each site plan review as the lots are developed. The Board also
inquired as to the responsibility the owner would bear with the requirement for the installation of the
signal at the intersection of North ~ Avenue and Griffin Drive. Staff noted that the condition does not
specifically place the burden on the developer but does require the installation of the traffic signal prior to
the issuance of building pennits for structures within the project. The owner stated that he felt that the
entire burden would fall to his project. Following a call for additional public input and receiving no
response the Planning Board closed the public hearing.
The Planning Board discussed the owner's request for removal of recommended Conditions 21
and 24 and the modification to recommended Condition 22 and then voted on a motion regarding the
subdivision. The motion, to recommend approval ofthe subdivision as shown on the submitted drawings
and materials, with modified conditions to remove recommended Condition 24, add language to
Condition 13a to include a reference to signalization, and to keep all other conditions, passed on a vote
of 6 in favor and 2 in opposition with 1 abstention.
V.
The application was considered by the Bozeman City Commission at their regular meeting on
November 2, 1998, at which time the recommendation of the Planning Board was reviewed by the City-
County Planning Staff Staff also requested that the Commission strike the last sentence in recommended
Conditions 8 and 9 as the language is not relevant to this project.
VI.
The application was considered by the Bozeman City Commission and weighed against the
review criteria established by Statute, and found as follows:
GALLA TIN PARK PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER Page 3
A PRIMARY REVIEW CRITERIA
AGRICULTURE:
The property was annexed to the City in 1998. The agricultural uses ofthe property were terminated
in conjunction with the annexation of the property. The property has been master planned and zoned
for industrial development for many years. No significant impact is anticipated from the development.
AGRICULTURAL WATER USER FACILITIES
There is a remnant ditch on the property which the applicants represent as no longer in service. The
applicants propose to remove the ditch. No persons have come forward to present evidence which
would contradict the applicants claim. No impact is expected from this development.
LOCAL SERVICES
Police and Fire protection are currently available to this site. The development of the property will
increase the likelihood of emergency services being required. Water service can be provided with
proper extensions and looping of existing main lines and installation of additional mains by the
developer. However, provision must be made for appropriate locations and numbers of service
connections to individual lots.
4,660 vehicle trips per day are estimated to be generated by the development of this subdivision at
full buildout. Actual traffic generation will depend on the nature ofthe businesses which locate here.
The existing roads and intersections in the area are not capable of canying the estimated additional
traffic load. Improvements to the N. ? Ave. and Griffin Drive intersection and other areas must be
completed in order to allow the safe movement of traffic in this area. Section 16.18.050.D.7 B.M.C.
establishes a minimum function level oflevel of service "C" for collector and arterial intersections.
The intersection of Manley Road and Griffin Drive will be further evaluated as design work
proceeds. Improvements to lane configurations or other work may be necessary to maintain level of
service "C". The necessary improvements must be completed or financially guaranteed prior to the
filing of the final plat.
After considering the Planning Board's recommendation to not include the condition requiring the
installation of the traffic signal prior to the issuance of building permits the Commission discussed the
need for the signal and the need for improvements prior to the addition of traffic. The Commission
found that other developments in similar situations had been subject to the equivalent recommended
condition. The Commission found that to address the needed improvements to protect the public
health and welfare; and to be consistent and fair in the application of the subdivision regulations it
was necessary to restore Condition 24 as originally recommended by Staff The Commission also
found that it would not be detrimental to the public health and safety to allow the construction of
buildings within the subdivision while the off -site traffic improvements were constructed and
included in the condition an allowance for building permits to be issued before the signal was
physically installed. The allowance of building permits did not include occupancy of buildings prior
to completion of the signalization.
The Commission also considered the owner's request to not be required to install sidewalks along
Manley Road at this time. The Commission considered the utility of the sidewalk as it would not be
connected to other properties at this time. The Commission also reviewed recommended Condition
22 which requires the paving of Manley Road and includes additional paving for bicycle lanes. The
Commission then found that the public health and safety would be sufficiently protected by including
additional paving to provide a pedestrian lane adjacent to the bicycle lane on the west side ofthe road
if the bicycle and pedestrian lanes were marked to AASHTO standards. The Commission therefore
found that Condition 21 of the Planning Board resolution was unnecessary at this time. The
Commission also noted. that at a future time the sidewalk may be required and will need to be
installed. In the future additional improvements to Griffin Drive and Manley Road may be required
to adequately serve the road users. The landowner shall supply waivers of right to protest creation
of SIDs for improvements to these roads.
The Commission considered the need to provide adequate water and sewer services to the property
and found that with some conditions the necessary improvements could be adequately installed. The
Commission also found that review of proposed or required traffic improvements is necessary to
GALLA TIN PARK PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER Page 4
ensure their correct design and function. In order to ensure the correct sizing, location, and phasing
of water, sewer, and street improvements it is necessary that plans and specifications for the
proposed work be approved by both the City of Bozeman and Montana Department of
Environmental Quality. Those plans and accompanying documents must address location and size
of any required easements, access roads, oversizing ifnecessary, intersection and road improvements,
and occupancy pennits for placement of infrastructure within existing rights of way. In conjunction
with the installation of sewer services the existing septic tanks on the property must be removed to
ensure full connections to the sewer and to prevent contamination of the ground water.
In the annexation agreement for this property the landowner agreed to provide water rights or cash-
in-lieu of water rights to supply sufficient additional water to the municipal water system to allow
service to be extended to this property. The Commission found that with the development of the
property it was necessary to require the provision of the agreed water rights in order for the water
system to have sufficient capacity to extend water services.
EFFECT ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The site has a gentle slope to the north-northwest with a total elevation change of approximately 24
vertical feet. The project will be incorporated into the existing grade and will attempt to minimize
the amount of cuts and fills required. As a commercial subdivision a considerable amount of
impervious surrace has been proposed. The applicant has proposed integrating the storm water plan
with the existing drainage patterns. The storm water will eventually reach the adjoining property
which is owned and managed by Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks as a wildlife
habitat area. The Commission found that there is a potential for surrace water run-off to carry
contaminants to the wildlife area. A storm water master plan must be provided to adequately treat
any run-off. Due to the substantial impact that the presence of pollutants may have on the wildlife
facility the Montana Department ofFish, Wildlife and Parks must also consent to the proposed storm
water plan and be satisfied with its ability to protect their interests. The Commission also found that
the proposed open space must be cared for and managed to prevent infestation by weeds or the
occurrence of other nuisances. The hydrology in the area also necessitates integration of the
proposed open spaces with the storm water management plan.
The maintenance of the open space must be the responsibility of the proposed property owners
association. The plat aloo must notifY potential users ofthe lots of the presence of high groundwater
in the area. The proposed trails are to selVe as pedestrian circulation routes within the development
and for adjoining properties. To ensure that the trails are adequate for the intended use the
Commission found it appropriate to require that the trails be constructed to the standards of the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT
The largest anticipated effect relates to modifications to the wetlands present on the property. The
applicant has proposed as part of a 404 pennit to offset any damage or removal of wetlands by
enhancement of existing habitat features or creation of new ones. The portion ofe.O.S. 1988 to be
subdivided with this project contains a portion of a pond which would be enlarged. The greatest
impact would be the construction of roads and buildings where wetlands have been identified. The
loss of the marsh and associated vegetation will be evaluated by the Anny Corps of Engineers. The
applicant has proposed providing private open space within the subdivision which will preselVe the
pond and portions of the uplands. Before any work commences the applicant must meet all
pennitting requirements of necessary review agencies to avoid unnecessary environmental
degradation.
The subdivision regulations require compliance with the applicable provisions of the zoning
ordinance. Where industrial properties are adjacent to residential property, as in this case, the
industrial property is responsible for buffering the residential use and matching the required yards.
The property along the northern tier oflots is adjacent to residential property and also has wetlands
present. To preselVe the wetlands ~nd provide for the buffering of the residential area the
Commission found that it is appropriate to provide for an easement or similar formal designation of
space to ensure that development would avoid these areas.
The second anticipated effect is that of storm water. Currently surrace drainage reaches the pond in
the northwest comer of the site. This overland flow is shown as remaining in the Environmental
GALLA TIN PARK PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER Page 5
. .
Assessment/Community Impact Report provided with the project application. With the
development ofthe subdivision a substantial amount of impervious surface will be created which will
change the storm water flow timing and character. Also additional pollutants are likely to be
introduced. To prevent the transmission of pollutants to the pond and other downstream waters a
storm water plan must be prepared which provides for filtering and control of water release. The
Montana Department ofFish, Wildlife and Parks must also review and be satisfied with the storm
water control plan. The open space to be provided must also be integrated to serve as an overland
flow channel to direct stonnwater away from developed sites.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
The issues of public health and safety are related to adequate provision of water, sewer, and street
improvements. These items were generally considered under the Local Services section above and
several conditions have been prepared to address the issues identified in sections above. The
development standards of the Bozeman area development regulations limit the number of accesses
onto collectors and arterials to maintain the smooth flow of traffic and prevent conflicting turning
movements. This reduces the number of traffic accidents. Manley Road is a designated rural
collector and access points are therefore controlled. The Commission found that to preserve the
public health and safety only access points allowed by the County Road Office should be permitted.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH SURVEY REOUIREMENTS PROVIDED FOR IN PART 4 OF THE
MONTANA SUBDMSION AND PLATTING ACT.
The survey requirements will be complied with when the final plat is filed.
C. COMPLIANCE WITH THE BOZEMAN AREA SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
The subdivision generally complies with the Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations. To complete
local regulation compliance the Final Plat must be submitted in compliance with the state and local
regulations. A platting certificate must accompany the plat. If the landowner wishes to file the final
plat prior to the completion of all required water, sewer, or street improvements an appropriate
financial guarantee may be provided in accordance with the requirements of the Bozeman Area
Subdivision Regulations.
The Bozeman area is experiencing rapid development. As a result, the conditions of approval which
are appropriate for a specific location may no longer be the optimal conditions of approval several
years later. In order to prevent the conditions of approval from not adequately addressing local
situations in is necessary to place a time limit on the duration of approval. The Commission found
that a two year approval duration was appropriate for this application. The applicant may within that
two years petition the Commission for an extension of the approval which may be granted at the
Commission's discretion.
The Commission, after consideration of the lot layout in the subdivision, found that Lots 10-12,
Block 1 should be combined into two lots in order to provide sufficient space upon all of the created
lots to allow development and meet the required lot width to depth ratio.
D. COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIRED SUBDIVISION REVIEW PROCEDURES.
The application complies with the subdivision review procedures.
E. PROVISION OF EASEMENTS FOR THE LOCATION AND INSTALLATION OF ANY
PLANNED UTILITIES.
The proposed subdivision would utilize front easements for utilities. This is acceptable provided that
all of the utility companies agree in writing to the use offront easements. Easements for water and
sewer utilities are discussed in Local Services above.
F. PROVISION OF LEGAL AND PHYSICAL ACCESS TO EACH PARCEL
The property is accessed via Manley Road. With the annexation of the property a right of way
easement was obtained to allow the expansion of Manley Road as may be necessitated with future
GALLA TIN PARK PRELIMINARY PLA T FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER Page 6
.
.
development. The platting of the property provides an opportunity to dedicate to the public the
same forty-five foot wide area contained in the previously granted easement. The application and
proposed plat indicates the dedication will occur.
The applicants are proposing a City standard street, Silverado Drive, to provide internal access to
subdivided lots. The street will be improved prior to, and will become a public right of way with, the
Final Plat of the subdivision. Legal and physical access will therefore be provided to all subdivided
lots.
The subdivision and development of the site will require the installation of off-site transportation
improvements as discussed above in the Local Services section.
VII.
Following discussion by the City Commission, the City Commission found that the proposed
subdivision complies with the Bozeman Area Master Plan, Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations, and
the Bozeman Zoning Ordinance, if certain conditions are imposed. Such conditions are justified by the
Commission's Findings of Fact that the development will cause deleterious effects on the transportation
system which must be offset; that storm water from the development must be controlled; that water,
sewer, and transportation improvements must be designed and constructed to City and State startdards;
that all required improvements must be constructed or financially guaranteed prior to final plat approval;
that modifications to. ditch or wetland features must be approved by the appropriate agency; that provision
of water rights are necessary to provide the ability to service the development with water; that applicable
regulations must be complied with; and that certain covenants and improvements agreements be of official
and binding record.
