III.
The preliminary subdivision plat was heard before the Bozeman City-County Planning Board
on May 2, 1995. No members of the public present testified either for or against the application. No
written testimony from the general public was received on the application.
IV.
The Planning Board reviewed the subdivision per the procedures of Section 16.08 of the
Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations and found that the preliminary plat was in accordance with
the Bozeman Area Master Plan and Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations. The Planning Board
also reviewed and considered the primary review criteria established in Title 73-3-608, M.C.A., 1993.
V.
The Planning Board found that with conditions, the subdivision would comply with the
primary review criteria, and forwarded a recommendation of conditional approval to the Bozeman
City Commission in Resolution No. P-9520.
VI.
The matter was scheduled to be considered by the Bozeman City Commission at a public
meeting on May 15, 1995. The Planning Staff reviewed the project at the time and forwarded the
Planning Board's recommendation to the City Commission. Mr. Keith Belden, Morrison-Maierle,
Inc., spoke on behalf of the applicant. No written testimony from the general public was received by
the City Commission.
VII.
The City Commission considered the minutes, public record and recommendation of the
Planning Board, the developer's testimony, and weighed the proposed subdivision against the primary
criteria for subdivisions established in Title 76-3-608, and found as follows:
EFFECTS ON AGRICULTURE:
The proposed subdivision was reviewed and approved by the City Commission in 1992 as
part of Bridger Creek Subdivision, Phase I, which recognized at that time the impact of
development on land recognized in the Master Plan as good producing agricultural land.
EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
With City Commission approval of Bridger Creek Subdivision, Phase I, the developer has
2
. ", .
.; ,
already extended municipal infrastructure to the limits ofthe proposed subdivision. Therefore
adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity is available. The City of Bozeman already
provides police and fire protection to the property.
EFFECTS ON NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
No impacts to the limited natural environment in the area has been identified with the
proposed residential subdivision.
EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
The proposed subdivision would have little or no direct impact on the area's wildlife or
wildlife habitat.
EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY:
A one (1) foot wide "No Access" strip is required along Story Mill Road and Boylan Road,
and interior streets of the proposed subdivision must be completed prior to Final Plat
approval, as well as, improvements to Story Mill Road. Mr. Sam Gianfrancisco, County
Road Superintendent, recommended that the proposed local subdivision streets should be
dead end cul-de-sac roads instead of providing a looped access directly onto Story Mill Road.
The Final Plat must indicate utility easements, a minimrun of twenty (20) feet wide, and
situated on side and rear lot lines, per Bozeman Area Subdivision Regulations, unless all
utility agencies agree in writing that utilities (Le., power, gas, telephone, television) will be
installed in a location along the front of the proposed subdivision lots.
Bozeman School District No. 7 notes that approximately one-third of the residential dwellings
will be occupied by families with school age children and emphasizes the concern of
overcrowding of all grade levels within the school system based on anticipated growth and
expected enrollment in the year 2000. However, the impact to schools should not be used
as a reason to deny a proposed residential subdivision. As this proposed subdivision is
already part of Bridger Creek Subdivision, Phase I, no additional park land dedication is
required
VIII.

family residential lots and twenty-two (22) townhouse lots, to be known as the amended plat of Lot
