Please address the following questions & corrections: 1. Sec. 38.350.050.2. Side steps cannot encroach more than 2.5’ into a side setback. 2. Sec.38.550.050. & Definition of Landscaping, all setbacks need to be 75% landscaped. Please show compliance with this standard. 3.

Staff has completed an analysis of the submitted application and found the proposed project is a two-household dwelling as defined in 38.700.050. The project does not meet the standard for a Rowhouse. 8. 208 S. 3rd is located within the Bon Ton Historic District and thus subject to the Sec.38.340 and the Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation & the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. After a review of the proposed design for 208 S. 3rd, the application was found to not be in compliance with Sec. 38.34.050B.2: Proportion of doors and windows.

Chapter 2.G of the Design Guidelines references the Solid to Void Ratio’s commonly seen within the NCOD and Historic Districts. Pg. 49, “Guideline: 1 Use a ratio of solid-to-void that is similar to that found on historic structures in the district.” Existing historic structures within the Bob Ton District should be used as a reference for appropriate fenestration patterns. Staff has concerns regarding the large windows along the front façade they appear not be a historic design pattern commonly seen throughout the Bon Ton. The additional information we require, specified above, and must be submitted to the Planning Division for review prior to being considered for NCOA approval. Revisions must be accompanied by a Revisions & Corrections (RC) form which can be found on the City of Bozeman website, on the Planning webpage under “applications” and “development applications” in the panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Resubmission must follow the previous Bozeman Cloud Project Intake Process. If you have any questions please contact me at 406-582-2940 or pgonzalez@bozeman.net. Sincerely, Phillipe Gonzalez
