RE: BOZEMAN EAST MIXED USE, MASTER SITE PLAN AND SITE PLAN 19230/19231
DATE: SEPTEMBER 04, 2020
Owner: Saccoccia Lands, LLC, 1234 Springhill Road, Belgrade, MT 59714
Applicant: Bridger Peak Land Development Partners, LLC, 101 East Front Street, Suite 304, Missoula, MT 59802
Representative: TD&H Engineering, 1800 River Drive North, Great Falls, MT 59401
Project Location: Bridger Peaks Village Subdivision, S01, T02 S, Ro05 E, Lot 5, Acres 11.85, Plat J-368 plus interest in common area
Project Description: Master Site Plan for a two phased mixed use development. Site Plan is for Phase I. The four buildings will consist of 305 multi-family dwelling units and commercial on the ground floor. A Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow for residential on the ground floor. The property is zoned B-2 and is 11.85 acres.
Administrative Design Review: On Thursday, September 3, 2020, the Administrative Design Review (ADR) staff made up of four members of the Planning Division reviewed this
project. Per Planning Division COVID-19 SOP for development review authorized by the City Manager’s Executive Order ED-09, ADR staff will be the design review advisory body to the Director of Community Development for projects that meet DRB thresholds per Bozeman
Municipal Code (BMC) 2.05.3010 until such time that the DRB may be able to meet again. The ADR found that the project complied with the requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code, particularly the requirements of BMC sections 38.230.100 Plan Review, 38.500 Project
Design, and 38.550 Landscaping. The following deficiency was identified by the ADR based on the materials presented in the application:
1. BMC 38.530.040. Due to the size and mass of the buildings, the ADR recommends providing brighter colors to articulate the design further as well as make the street

more vibrant. It is acknowledged that there is some blue accent to the buildings, but we recommend that there are more bold or primary colors integrated. Response: New elevation has been provided with lightened colors. HEDK recommends that a site mockup be created during early construction to allow actual materials and colors to be viewed in the sunlight since printed images may not accurately represent the true materials. 2. BMC 38.510.030.B. Entrances to Building A & D that front onto Tscache must be identified so that it can be determined if the entrances meet storefront block frontage standards. Response: Elevations have been updated with potential entrances labeled. 3. BMC 38.530.050.E. As the north elevations of building A & D are depicted, the entrances are not clearly defined and scaled proportionally to the building. With the development of Arrowleaf to the north and the construction of Tscache Lane, this street will become much more active. To meet the intent of the storefront block
frontage standards and building design, the ADR has determined that the proposed north elevations of Building A & D do not meet this standards. Response: Potential entrance locations have been tagged on the updated elevations. The elevations depict the doors in protected articulated vestibules made of different materials from the surrounding walls and in tower features which pop out from the main façade per the plans to meet the block frontage standards and they all have 5’ deep awnings for weather protection. The windows meet BMC 38.530.050.B, although it appears only one is needed the elevations include 4 out of 5 of the same elements as the photo examples in Figure 38.530.050.D, and what has been proposed is very similar to the third picture in Figure 38.530.050.F. 4. Due to the amount of residences in the area and to enhance the development’s grounds, the ADR recommends that 30% minimum of bicycle parking be covered. A bicycle detail was not provided within the details. A detail of the bike rack and the covering needs to be provided. Response: Bike shelter section drawing has been added to the Architectural site plan sheet A8-00. 5. A detail of the community garden was not provided with the submittal. This must be
provided with the resubmittal. Response: Community garden imagery provided on sheet Landscape Sheet L1.17.
