David gave history of project as part of the Aspen Crossing area. Owner Mike Zambon
spoke briefly, noting their ask is only for impact fee coverage (see Attachment A for staff
evaluation matrix).
Public comment called – no responses.
Discussion of board. Supportive comments made. Val made the motion to authorize Staff
to negotiate a development agreement with the Applicant for reimbursement of eligible
costs up to $45,000. Nolan seconded the motion. All in favor.
D.2. Action Item – Sewer line under N. 5th, Aspen to Oak, addition to infrastructure
improvements project
David told of discussions with property owners all including no gravity feed to sewer (see
Attachment B). David noted he will chat with city management about putting a payback
plan on this portion of the bonded work projects and bring that back to the board at a
later time.
Public comment called. Mike Zambon noted they looked into this and knew a lift station
would be required for their project. No other public comment given.
Andrew opened board discussion, expressing his support of this item. Kevin made the
motion to include a sewer line under N. 5th Ave. between W. Aspen St. and W. Oak St. in
the bond issue and Midtown Infrastructure Improvements Urban Renewal Project. Val
seconded the motion. All in favor.
D.3. Action Item – Admin Settlement for 431 N. 7th
David restated previous actions, noting 200 linear feet of streetscape involved at this
address. Previous board meeting discussion led to conversation with property owner’s
representative to upgrade necessary water and fire service lines for future development
potential.
Public comment called. Brit Fontenot noted this recommendation is in alignment with
infrastructure improvements in the district. No other public comment given.
Andrew opened board discussion, expressing his support of this item. Nolan made the

Streetscape Project with PDI Investments, LLC for the Property at 431 N. 7th Ave. for
upsized water line and fire service line connections on a reimbursement basis, not to
exceed $50,000.
Val asked David to refresh the board as to what the district will gain with this agreement,
and David answered the 200’ x 8’ streetscape needed to be 12’ setback for pedestrian
sidewalk, and this agreement will be less costly than if additional right of way had to be
purchased.
Kevin second Nolan’s motion. All in favor.
D.4. Action Item – FY21 Midtown work and budget plan
(see Attachment C) David presented, explaining corona-effects on Commission meetings.
He went on to note this is the same work/budget from last year with the exception of an
extra $4k for two staff.
Public comment called – none received.
Mayor Mehl thanked the board for support and patience, sharing the thinking that the
Commission will vote on approval at their meeting on the second Monday in July, when
new city manager is in place and the corona-effects have settled down.
Andrew made the motion to recommend the Fiscal Year 2021 Midtown Urban Renewal
Board Work Plan and Budget items, as amended, to the Bozeman City Commission
pending the inclusion of expenditures related to bond issuance. Kevin seconded the
motion. All in favor.
