ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
General:
1. The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks, SCS, Montana Department of Environmental
Quality and Army Corps of Engineer's shall be contacted regarding the proposed project and
any required permits (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.) shall be obtained prior to final site
plan (FSP) approval.
Response: The Applicant will obtain the required permits.
2. Plans and Specifications for water and sewer main extensions, streets, and storm water im-
provements, prepared and signed by a professional engineer (PE) registered in the State of
Montana shall be provided to and approved by the City Engineer. Water and sewer plans shall
also be approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The applicant shall al-
so provide professional engineering services for construction inspection, post-construction certi-
fication, and preparation of mylar record drawings. Construction shall not be initiated on the
public infrastructure improvements until the plans and specifications have been approved and
a preconstruction conference has been conducted. Building permits will not be issued prior to
City acceptance of the infrastructure improvements unless all provisions set forth in Section
38.270.030.C of the Bozeman Municipal Code are met to allow for concurrent construction.
Offsite infrastructure improvements do not qualify for concurrent construction.
Response: Plans and specifications signed by a Professional Engineer will be provided to the
City, and if applicable, water/sewer main extensions will be submitted to the Montana Depart-
ment of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). A Professional Engineer will be retained for construction
inspection, certification and preparation of record drawings.
Legal:
1. City standard ten foot public utility easements are required along the property frontages as per
Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 38.410.060.B.2.a. to facilitate the network of the dry
utilities throughout the City. If the applicant proposes an alternative location for the easement,
the location must be approved by the utility companies.
Response: The required 10-foot easements will be provided.
Stormwater:
1. The applicant must include stormwater mitigation in the design to infiltrate, evapotranspire, or
capture for reuse the runoff generated from the first 0.5 inches of rainfall from a 24-hour storm to
the greatest extent feasible for the site. A stormwater drainage/treatment grading plan and
maintenance plan for a system designed to remove solids, silt, oils, grease, and other pollutants
must be provided to and approved with the site plan application. The plan must demonstrate
adequate site drainage (including sufficient spot elevations), storm water detention/retention
basin details (including basin sizing and discharge calculations, and discharge structure details),
storm water discharge destination, and a storm water maintenance plan.
Response: At this stage in the development review process, we have a general intent of how to
address post construction BMPs, but specific calculations and strategies have not been finalized.
We are planning to use a combination of LID practices including but not limited to onsite vege-
tated retention or “rain gardens,” bio swales and underground infiltration. We will also provide
the required attenuation of peak runoff to the existing, pre-development runoff rate.
2. Ten feet of separation must be maintained between the onsite storm mains and the site lighting
and any other structures. The applicant is advised to meet with the City’s Sewer Department
and Stormwater Divisions to discuss long-term operation and maintenance of the onsite storm-
water system.
Response: The required 10-foot separation between storm drain and site light poles will be pro-
vided.
Transportation:
1. A traffic impact study (TIS) will be required with a future site plan submittal. The applicant should
contact the City’s engineering department to discuss the scope of the study. The applicant is
advised that if required improvements are identified in the TIS, the improvements must be com-
pleted prior to the issuance of building permits unless concurrent construction is approved or an
alternative path is found.
Response: The Applicant’s engineer has contacted the City’s engineering department and has
prepared a traffic impact study, to be included in the Site Plan application in support of this de-
viation request.
2. Rouse Avenue is a state highway and falls under the jurisdiction of the Montana Department of
Transportation (MDT). The accesses onto Rouse Ave must be approved by the MDT prior to site
plan approval. The applicant will need to provide a copy of the approved access permit for
each access in order to meet this requirement.
Response: Permits will be obtained from MDT for the two proposed approaches on Rouse Ave-
nue.
3. As proposed, the development’s drive accesses currently do not meet the City’s spacing re-
quirements, see BMC Table 38.400.090-1. The applicant may request a deviation to the access
standards per 38.400.090.H. The applicant may contact the engineering department (Griffin
Nielsen) if there are any questions on the deviation request. The applicant should be advised
that the current plan notes that 315 ft is the minimum distance for access along Rouse Avenue
and Oak Street to allow for a full access, however 660 ft is the minimum along arterial streets. The
plans also indicate that 150 ft is the minimum distance for access along Tamarack Street to allow
for a full access, however 330 ft is the minimum collector streets. The applicant is also advised
that the separation measurement is taken from the ROW line rather than the curb line.
Response: The Applicant will request a deviation to the access standards with respect to access
locations and distances from street intersections and from adjacent proposed or existing points
of access. A traffic report will be provided with the Site Plan application.
4. The plans are unclear as to the extents of the existing right-of-way (ROW) along the project’s
frontage. The adjacent transportation system must comply with the adopted Transportation
Master Plan and the City’s Design Standard and Specifications Policy Manual Table IV-2. Tama-
rack Street is classified as a collector as such requires 90 ft of ROW, though the City is the process
of reviewing the need for the full 90 ft. A final determination cannot be made until the existing
right-of-way is identify.
Response: The extent of the existing right-of-ways have been clarified on the plans. The existing
Tamarack Street right-of-way narrows heading west from Rouse Avenue, to merge with the exist-
ing 60-foot right-of-way. To account for potential future right-of-way expansion on Tamarack
Street to 90 feet, site parking improvements have been located a minimum of 25 feet north of
the existing right-of-way, leaving a 10-foot minimum setback if the additional 15 feet of
right-of-way is added to the north side of the street.
5. The sidewalk along Tamarack Street must be installed according to the City’s standard street
section including a boulevard separating the sidewalk from the curb & gutter.
Response: The sidewalk was moved to 5.5 feet from back of curb, matching the existing side-
walk location at the west property line. The MDT Rouse Avenue plans include a portion of the
Tamarack Street sidewalk fronting the Public Safety Center. MDT has agreed to revise their
Rouse Avenue plans accordingly, with a change order. The MDT work is scheduled to be com-
pleted in 2020.
6. The street visions triangle shown at the corner of Rouse and Tamarack must extend 50ft in both
directions.
Response: The required street vision triangles will be included in the Site Plan application.
Water and Sewer:
1. The applicant will need to provide an estimate for the development’s peak hour wastewater
demand.
Response: The peak hour wastewater demand is estimated at 441 Drainage Fixture Units (DFU.)
2. A Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan will be required by the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality for the facility. The SPCC must be stamped by a profes-
sional engineer registered in the State of Montana. In addition, the applicant will need to pro-
vide the City with a list of the potential chemicals as well as volumes that will be stored onsite.
Response: The Applicant will provide the required SPCC Plan and list of chemicals.
3. Any unutilized water and sewer services must be abandoned per the Water and Sewer Depart-
ment requirements. Water must be capped at the main and sewer must be capped within 5 ft
of the property line. If possible the abandonment and installation of new services should be co-
ordinated with the reconstruction of Rouse Avenue.
Response: None of the existing water and sewer services will be utilized for the project, so all will
be abandoned and capped in accordance with City requirements. The work will be coordi-
nated with the ongoing Rouse Avenue reconstruction project, to be completed prior to con-
struction of Rouse Avenue surface improvements.
4. Any trenching within the adjacent street will require flowable backfill unless the trench work is
coordinated with the reconstruction of the street.
Response: Trenching for proposed water and sewer services will be backfilled and compacted
per City requirements using standard backfill. This work will be completed prior to construction of
Rouse Avenue surface improvements. The work will be coordinated with the ongoing
Rouse Avenue reconstruction project, to be completed prior to construction of Rouse Avenue
surface improvements.
5. The applicant must contact the City of Bozeman Engineering Department (Brian Heaston) to ob-
tain an estimate for payment of cash-in-lieu of water rights or to determine if a cash-in-lieu pay-
ment has already been made. Any payment must be provided in accordance to Bozeman Mu-
nicipal Code (BMC) section 38.410.130.
Response: The Applicant will coordinate with City Engineering regarding payments as cash in
lieu of water rights. Project proposes exempt well for irrigation, approved by DNRC correspond-
ence, December 11, 2019, including Brian Heaston on distribution list.
6. The applicant is advised to meet the City’s Water and Sewer Department and to discuss long
term operation and maintenance of the water services and sand and oil separator.
Response: The Applicant will coordinate with the City Water and Sewer Department to discuss
O&M before finalizing construction documents.
7. The applicant must prepare plans and specifications for any fire service line in accordance with
the City’s Fire Service Line Policy. The plans must be prepared by a Professional Engineer and be
provided to and approved by the City Engineer prior to initiation of construction of the fire ser-
vice or fire protection system. The applicant must also provide Professional Engineering services
for construction inspection, post-construction certification and preparation of mylar record
drawings. Fire service plans, and domestic services 4” or larger, must be a standalone submittal,
separate from the site plan submittal. City of Bozeman applications for service must be com-
pleted by the applicant.
Response: A Professional Engineer will prepare plans and specifications for the proposed fire
service line, and will be retained for construction inspection, certification and preparation of
record drawings. The proposed 6” fire service and 4” domestic service will be aligned in a
common trench and will be shown on the same drawing as a stand-alone submittal. The Appli-
cant will prepare the required applications for service.
8. The City’s Fire department requires an onsite fire hydrant, the fire hydrant lead may not exceed
150 ft from the public main. Plans for the hydrant lead must be submitted according to the City’s
fire service line review process.
Response: In subsequent discussions, it was determined that the additional fire hydrant would
not be required. Hose fill locations will be located in the building.
