BACKGROUND: Cattail Lake park was brought up by the Rec and Park Advisory Board for consideration as an improvement project due to cash-in-lieu opportunities and perceived user needs, maintenance issues, and overall physical/architectural programming (Park Master Plan Documents attached). In addition to the cash-in-lieu of parkland funding consideration, this park presents a case-study opportunity on how to conduct master plan amendments and decision making keeping in mind City's new directions in Community Engagement. Cattail Lake Park Plat The park is adjacent to a Billings Clinic Master Site Plan which has located open space adjacent to the park and plans for trail connection/extensions through their property and along Davis Lane. Nearby undeveloped lots provide opportunity to expand Cattail Lake or a source of cash- or improvements-in-lieu of parkland investment User groups to consider in the planning/revision process: · Dog owners/pet exercisers (swimming, fetching, training) · Walkers · Birders · Youth and adult fishers · Light craft boaters (rafts, canoes, kayaks…) 3 · Winter uses: ice skating, ice fishing Deficiencies of the park may include: · Poorly maintained trails · No official dog stations (there may be a pop-up/user group-maintained trash can) · Lack of official water access for different user groups · Lack of data on water quality and safety and impact of user groups · Parking It was noted by Mr. Bass, that overgrowth on the S by SE aspects may actually provide important habitat, bank stabilization, and ecosystems services. Future improved water access points should be planned/designed and could include: · dog swimming access · light craft boat launch · fishing access NOTE: Wildcat trails and bank degradation should be avoided/prevented. NOTE: Dog swimming and off-leash exercise is not currently permitted, and some interactions have occurred between Code Compliance Officers and users. Audubon led a tour of the site attended by staff and a few board members on May 10 (Notes attached).

(Roaming cats also named as a source of bird mortality.) Fenced off leash areas are good. The problem is owners often walk unleashed to the offleash areas or just go off leash in what are supposed to be leashed areas. Signage and enforcement are not enough. Proposed solution: Location of offleash areas near parking lot is important so owners don’t have to walk through a park to get to it. Or no dog park at his site at all because other nearby options exist. In order to effectively exclude dogs from flushing birds, wildlife-friendly exclusionary fencing is needed. Non-galvanized metal, 3-5ft high with mesh size large enough to allow medium sized mammals (e.g. skunks, raccoons) to pass through and deer jump over. (Unfortunately, that would also allow cats to pass through.) Fencing would need to be placed between the trail/sidewalk and the vegetation that surrounds the lake. Non-galvanized would rust and blend in visually over time while lasting many years without maintenance. Posts, if wooden, should be treated (these days there are more inert options than in the past) otherwise if left untreated would need to be replaced every 10 years. A fence would cost tens of 6 thousands of dollars but would be a good bang for the buck if the goal is to protect this habitat for birds. Should be overseen by a professional but might make a good volunteer project for most of labor. New development – The area surrounding Cattail Lake is going to change dramatically with the new Billings Clinic campus. Large buildings may obscure view of the Bridgers from the park. Windows may pose collision threat to birds. Trails will tie into the park trail system. Many more people will likely visit the park than seen today which was one person while we were there. Proposed solution: Maintain good communication about plans and expectations early and often. Weeds – At this time the tansy is not too bad and can easily be brought under control with properly applied herbicide. Seed heads should have been cut last fall. Cinquefoil should also be addressed. Proposed solution: This spring, bag the seed heads before they disperse. Addi said she may be able to have it added to routine maintenance. Would be very worthwhile to revegetate with native vegetation including cottonwoods, willow, chokecherries… landscaping that serves as a bird food source and creates a visual buffer. Trail and viewing opportunities – Currently there are user-created paths and the sidewalk on Trout Meadows Rd. Proposed solution: Gravel existing circumnavigation path around the lake. Pick natural path to avoid user created paths. Sidewalk already serves as a path along Trout Meadows. Would be better to avoid placing the path on the peninsula into the lake unless it was combined with a blind so as not to disturb birds finding shelter in the vegetation there. Can fill in gaps around lake with more willows, perhaps leaving some open areas of 200 ft or so to allow people to see the water as various intervals. The lot adjacent to small building at end of Trout Meadows could be a good spot for an elevated viewing platform. With the sun behind it most of the day, it would be ideal. Watercrafts – If managing for waterfowl, know that any kind of watercraft would disturb them. Waterfowl (and birders) have already lost Bozeman Pond and Glen Lake due to recreational pressures. Proposed solution: Exclude watercraft, at least at certain times of year during migration and breeding. Balancing between user groups – Some uses would negate efforts to support other users/desires of a park site (ie, retaining this lake’s use as bird habitat) 7 Proposed solution: Not every park has to serve the needs of all groups. Look at park system as a whole to see that needs are being met within a reasonable distance without having to use a car. It’s called a level of service analysis. Habitat/Vegetation choices – The current use of the grassy westside is mostly for human activity, including benches, picnic tables, beach activities, etc. The other shorelines have more bird habitat and potential for revegetating gaps in the willows/cottonwoods. (See also trail and viewing opportunities section above) Proposed solution: The grassy area near parking lot may make sense to leave as a bank, depending on goals of the site. Could nearby park lands/trails be enhanced to make it more forested to add native species thereby adding value to this site? Parking – There is already a parking lot on the corner of Davis and Trout Meadows that fits about 15 cars. Proposed solution: Retain this parking lot. The area with the small building might be another natural spot if more spots need to be added. And there seems to be plenty of opportunities on Trout Meadows itself. Other observations/Questions: Cattail Lake also known as Davis Pond is an old gravel pit. Hydrology is confusing. Addi will figure out quantity and flows. Does anyone have irrigation rights? Old wooden and metal vehicles and machinery between lake and new development. Would they be covered under the Antiquities Act? Historical preservation dept. decides whether they should be preserved/displayed in an exclosure. This site may be of interest to other City Depts and partners beyond Parks & Rec and SAS, such as Sustainability, Open Lands, Gallatin Watershed Council, others. Winter user groups ice fishing and skating might make nice alternate seasonal use partners. Take home messages from site visit with SAS: They are very interested in remaining engaged partners for this site. It’s not just about bird watching, although it is a bona fide recreational user group. It’s not about us as humans. Birds that use these areas have migrated 1,000s of miles to get here and have finally found a place to rest. 8 Cattail Lake (Davis Pond) would be a great opportunity to educate the public about bird migration, watersheds, etc. If had to “grade” this site for: Size for waterfowl – A+ (it’s the largest remaining in the city) Migratory/stop over habitat – A Breeding – C (mallards and geese will use it but not more rare waterfowl; for riparian songbirds the habitat is narrow) East Gallatin Rec Area/Glen Lake area has more variety of habitats which makes that the “best in town” overall. Enhancing the native vegetation at this site and excluding dogs and user created paths could keep this high quality bird hotspot in the city. 25 bird species were detected in just over 2 hours at this site. 9 nnE\cDOCT202006;^aiBs;te...~1 ,•DEPARtMENTOFPLANNING_B"*S'^ws'^!S:,.v'f.3s-.*,a»;s-K^^^fc^^iKSSlts''^^^^•g^^.s^SiijSfei.S'S" i-'^SSSXs^=IL^AAAmCD711r^>C3AAir->Ey^l^rf»;^.A^^ANi-€?TvaNO]of these plan^vv' • fi^.DdGc--;t+en approvalIffice1iPreparedfor:CRESTVIEW LAKE,•.\1/!feA)¥^^^PPROVEDDEP^OFPLANNiNG ,-4UN^BEyECOF^iEN,•^^c,^^DATE//AKtPrepared by:Peaks to Plains ^esis^)>s4200 EXPRESSWAYMISSOULA, MONTANA 59808PH. 406-3 27-1212IANDSCAPEABCHITECTURE PLANNING ENVIBONMENTAL DESIGN208 N.

It is defined as the southwest quarter of section 26, township 1south, range 5 east in Gallatin County, Montana. The subdivision is generallybound by Catamount Street (a minor arterial) to the south, Davis Lane to thewest. Warbler Way to the east and private, undeveloped land to the north.Cattail Creek Subdivision, a 170-acre development, lies south ofCatamount Street. This development contains light manufacturing,neighborhood business, residential office and low to medium densityresidences, as well as Sandan Park and the Cattail Creek Parkway.This parkway serves as a recreation corridor and will be continued into theCattail Lake development. Cattail Lake Subdivision totals 42.21 acres, with 18.49 acres of park and open space. Alarge portion of this area consists of the 10.9 acre Cattail Lake.BackgroundThe land to be developed has been used as farmland for over 80 years; but due to its small size and low valuecrops, the land is not considered a viable farm unit. Currently, 50 acres are being used for alfalfa hay andlivestock grazing. Residential and commercial developments adjoin the property to the east and south. There is aproposed development for the land to the north, and the property to the west is also cropland. The parcel south-west of the Cattail Lake Subdivision is currently under devlopment as part of the Baxter Meadows Subdivision.Preliminary plans for Cattail Lake include 10 single-household residential lots, 4 multi-family lots (total of 300units), and 28 townhome lots.Park and Open Space ImprovementsParkland GeneralCattail Lake Subdivision is a unique development due to the existing lake on site. Located in Block 1, it willserve as the main park land and contribute many recreational opportunities to the development. The rest ofthe block will consist of trail corridors, park/gathering space, and wetland setback area. The other main parkarea will be located in Block 3 along the Cattail Creek corridor. This will be the connection between theCattail Creek Subdivision and Cattail Lake. Remaining open space will be used as trail corridors throughoutthe development. Prior to any construction in the park or open space, the contractor is required to have apreconstruction meeting with the Parks Department staff present.Site FurnitureFurnishings for the Cattail Lake development willinclude benches, trash receptacles, and picnic tables.Benches will be permanently mounted in place andsimilar to the style shown at right. Trash receptaclesshall be located near the non-motorized boat rampareas to collect park-use related refuse. Picnic tableswill be found in this area as well. Site furniture shouldbe consistent throughout the park and open spacelands to provide a sense of continuity, and be con-^I© Peaks to Plains Design, P.C.-2-October 200613 -~<.ri9Sie&/^Cattail Lake SubdivisionMASTER PLANstructed of metal, concrete and/or recycled plastic.Acceptable picnic table and trash receptacle stylesare also shown at right.Unprogrammed Open SpaceDue to the unique nature of this park land, there isnot a large amount of contiguous open space withirrigated lawn. Much of the unprogrammed space islocated within the wetland setback and will be planted^®with native grasses. There will, however, be opportu-nities for play lawns around along the west side of Cattail Lake and in the southeast corner of the subdivisionto allow for unprogrammed activities. These lawns will be accessible through the pedestrian trail system andwill provide seating as well as both shaded and sunny areas.Pedestrian Circulation^-x:'^.^£-w^"-^^••*•».-ijl*.i-aeS*S^Ss-5";*^.s®-£m&"f:y1-<--sSKS— SLOPE B7SES OFF TRAIL12=1 MINIMUM, 5:1 MAXIMUMTO ^EETGRMX6.0' WIDTHr- WATBt AND ROLLSURFACE TO A SMOOTHSEAL2% CROSS SLOPEf3% MAX;, C.ROWN AT |&ENTER OF TRAILIEX&AVATE 6" OF BO&TIN6 SRADE.BACKFILL WITH 2 LIFTS.

A trail willconnect to the Cattail Creek Parkway to the southand follow Cattail Creek up to the main park block.The 10' wide hard surface trail will then followLakeside Drive and Trout Meadows around CattailLake, taking pedestrians to the hand boat launcharea. At the terminus of the sidewalk on the northend of Lakeside Drive, a gravel trail will follow the northern shore of the lake. The developers of Cat-tail Lake Subidivision have asked the property owners of the land to the north for a trail easement ontheir property. A pedestrian bridge crosses Cattail Creek, where a gravel trail continues its alignmentaround the north and west side of the lake, connecting back to the hand boat launch area. All trailswill be constructed to City ofBozeman standards. Full construction drawings will be submitted tothe parks department for their approval prior to commencing any work and the developer will call forpreconstruction meetings as well.Woody VegetationThe vegetation in all of the park lands will be quality nursery stock. Boulevard trees will be planted in allright of way areas as required by the City ofBozeman. Boulevard trees will be limited to deciduous shadetrees. Exact tree species will be detailed as part of the construction documents and approved by the CityForester. Boulevard trees will contain several different species to avoid a mono culture.

Mesic shrub species includedogwoods, willows and aider. Final plant species selection of both the shrub and tree species will have finalapproval by the City Forester prior to construction.Herbaceous VegetationAny areas that are disturbed by construction activities will have a prepared seed bed and reseeded with theappropriate grass species. It is recommended that all seeding is completed with a narrow spacing drill seeder,then rolled and compacted for optimum establishment. In areas with slopes at or over 3:1, broadcast seedingwill be appropriate, but must be raked into the soil and then rolled and compacted. In areas that receiverotor irrigation, the recommended seed mix is as follows:Grass SpeciesPercentage of mixKentucky Bluegrass60%Perennial Ryegrass25%Creeping Red Fescue15%Drill Seed at 5 Ibs. per 1000 square feet; double therate for broadcast seedingAreas that may receive irrigation, but are not designated as active use areas (i.e. mid-block corridors) willhave a seed mix that requires less water, but still provides an attractive cover.

All main lines and lateral lines will be schedule 40 PVC pipe, with the exception of any driplines which will be a class 160 polyethylene pipe. Most of the area will be irrigated with gear-driven rotorheads connected with unitized swing joint to the main line. Trees located in native grass (non irrigated)areas will receive supplemental drip irrigation for establishment purposes.Two different wells will be drilled in this development. Each of the wells will produce the maximumallowable rate of 35 gallons per minute and will contain a submersible pump that provides the necessarypressure to efficiently run the system. The systems will be controlled with Maxicom-compatible automaticcontrollers that are programmed to run the pump relay and individual zones..%l-i "^I"ET'*t •,?**'"!'t,'iaiu,w.^-i^IB_j^s^~-cr3^NT-^aPi•-fiiAdditional Ammenities on Private LotsDue to the layout of this subdivision, its unique ammenitiessuch as the lake and creek corridor, space is limited to providetraditional park equipment in the public lands. In addition, thesubidvision located immediately south of this one has a formalplayground, basketball courts and large unprogrammed openspaces. The remainder of the Cattail Creek Parkway is developedfor passive use, such as trails, benches and plant establishments.Cattail Lake Subdivisions park lands is a continuation of theparkway, with similar ammenities and ecosystems. However, this|developments density does require some additional ammentites.In refering to the site plan in Appendix A, the developer will be providing two playgrounds within theprivate courtyards of the multi-family developments. The first playground wil be built as part of phase 1development, the second playground will be constructed in phase 3. In addition in phase 2, a gazebo/pic-nic shelter will be constructed. The rationale for placement of these ammentities in this area, as opposed tothe public park lands included the distance from the living complexes, access to trash pick up and accessi-bility to private owners maintenance. The image, above, is an example of a previous project this developerhas produced and is intended to indicate the representative quality of the open areas on the private lots.MaintenanceResponsible PartyThe developer will maintain the parks until a Home Owner's Association is formed, who will then assumecontrol of park maintenance until a City-wide Park Maintenance District is created.Mowing and WateringDepending on seasonal moisture, native grasses should be mowed 3 to 4 times per year; the first time at theend of May, the second time in mid-July, and the final time occurring in mid-October. The mow heightshould be a minimum of 4 inches, with 6 inches being preferable. Every third year native grasses should beburned in late winter or early spring. The burning is important because it controls invasive plants, eliminatescrop residue and recycles nutrients.© Peaks to Plains Design, P.C.-6-October 200617 r\nCattail Lake SubdivisionMASTER PLANTurf grass areas should have a mow height of no less than 3 inches and be allowed to grow to 4 or 4-1/2 inchesbefore being mowed again. Bluegrass lawn areas require roughly 12 inches of water between June 1st andSeptember 1st. At peak demand this means roughly 1 inch of precipitation per week in lawn areas. For maturelawn areas, this water should be spread evenly thoughout the week and in less frequent, deepersoakings.FertilizationFertilizing of grass and lawn areas should be done as necessary in should not be overdone to minimize waterneeds and mowing and to protect sensitive areas. Lawns which have irrigation at head to head coverageshould have two applications of fertilizer: The first should be a blend of 17-17-17 in JVtay and then shouldhave an application of 27-8-8 in mid summer. As the lawns are establishing the rate of fertilization shouldbe 40 Ibs per 10,000 square feet. An established lawn should be fertilized at a rate of 60 Ibs. per 10,000 squarefeet. Biannual soil test should be taken to assess soil nutrient contents and adjust fertilizer rates accordingly.The seed mix that has no irrigation or areas within 50 feet of a stream or wetland should not be fertilized andhas no plan for regular application of fertilizer. This will minimize excess nutrient run-offthat will adverselyaffect the water ecosystem. Trees and shrubs located within the 50 foot corridor should be monitored and ifdeemed that they need fertilization, the use of capsule fertilizer should be utilized,In areas outside the corridor, the shade trees should be fertilized in April with 16-10-9 plus iron and zinc.Once trees and shrubs are established, they should be fertilized with tree food spikes. Do not fertilize treesand shrubs past mid-July. Pruning of evergreens should occur in June. Shade trees should be pruned inApril, except maples and birch. Maple and Birch species should be pruned in mid to late July. Generalmonitoring for pests and diseases should be done throughout the year. Trees and shrubs should be deepwatered right before the ground freezes.Noxious Weed ControlA noxious weed control program has been established with a local contractor. A yearly property check withspot spraying as required should occur in the month of June. This should be coordinated with the CountyWeed Supervisor and the NRCS agent. This program can also be used to control the weeds in gravel trailsand walkways with spot application of a weed control agent as required.Snow ReniovalConcrete sidewalks located in the public right-of-way will have the snow removed within 24 hours of the endof any snowfall event as per Bozeman Ordinance 1529. The responsible party will be the subdivision's homeowners association. Gravel trails will not have a regular snow removal schedule.Irrigation SystemsThe irrigation system should be charged in April, after the frost has left the ground and plant materialbegins to grow. All of the manual drain valves should be turned to the closed position. The power for thewell pump should be switched to the "on" position. Program or adjust the controller for the current monthswatering needs. Check all heads to ensure that there is no breakage and that proper coverage is attained.Each month the heads and controller should be checked and adjusted for the weather. The irrigation systemwill need to be monitored to watch for breaks, vandalism and overall needs of the site.© Peaks to Plains Desigii, P.C.-7-October 200618 Cattail Lake SubdivisionMASTER PLANWhen the sprinkler heads are repaired, repairs should be made with the same brand and nozzles. Thisensures that the coverage is efficient for the working pressure and disperses at an equal precipitation rate.The heads should be checked to ensure that they are seated at a level which it is not damaged from mowingor maintenance equipment. A periodic check of the drip emitters around the trees is necessary to ensurethey are functioning properly.Winterization of the irrigation system typically occurs during the last week of October. At this time, thepower to the well pump should be turned oflT. All manual drain valves should be opened. Use a high-powered air pump to connect to many of the quick coupler valves around the system. Run air through thesystem, opening and closing each valve zone, until all of the water is completely out of the system. Turn offthe controller and leave the water off until spring. If winter time watering is necessary, this should be donemanually from a tank to avoid damage to the system.Animal ControlDomestic pets in parks must be kept on a leash and must immediately collect their refuse. Rodents may becontrolled if levels ofpredation threaten the survival ofplantings or constitute a health hazard. Poisons tocontrol rodents can not be used on City ofBozeman owned or dedicated land.Fornial Maintenance Plan DocunientPlease note the formal maintenance plan document provided at the end of this narrative.Design Guidelines for City of Bozeman Parks (05/04/2006)* New Park construction must be approved by the Parks Division and the Recreation and Parks AdvisoryBoard, and must comply with the master plan, if applicable. Any changes must be approved and / or amend-ed in the master plan. Prior to any construction, contractor shall hold a Pre-Construction meeting on sitewith the City ofBozeman Parks Department.* Soil Preparation - All soils to be used on public park land shall be inspected by and meet the approval ofCity ofBozeman Parks Division Staff prior to installation and shall meet the minimum depth requirement of10 inches. All rock in excess of 1 inch in diameter shall be removed. Soil tests (a sieve analysis and soil analy-sis)) shall be performed prior to planting to determine the classification and texture of the soils, along withany nutrient deficiencies. The classification and texture will determine what amendments, if any, are needed,while the soil analysis will help correct any nutrient problems with a pre-plant fertilization.* Guidelines for soils - The soil will be deemed acceptable if: it is less than 35% clay and less than 70% sand,and 70% silt. Ph must not exceed 8.4. The soil will be screened at 1" minus for rocks and debris; topsaildepth will be at least ten inches. The sub base, after grading, will be scarified to a depth of twelve inches toinsure drainage throughout the profile.Amendments may vary depending on existing soils, but will generally consist of 60% coarse sand (generallyconcrete sand), 20% organics (C: N ratio below 30) and 20% approved native soil. Soils will be mixed, priorto installation, with a screener / mixer machine, or applied in layers on site and mbced thoroughly with adeep rototiller. Depth of amended soil will be a minimum often (10) inches. There will be no compactionfollowing the grading process. Fertilizer, and the rate at which it will be applied, should be dictated by the soiltest report.* Seeding ratios and mixes will be approved by the City ofBozeman Parks Division. Seeding will be applied© Peaks to Plains Design, P.C.-8-October 200619 -^^0Cattail Lake SubdivisionMASTER PLANwith a slit-type or drill-type seeder to insure good soil to seed contact. Before seeding, the soil shall be loosenedto a minimum depth of six inches in order to improve initial root development. The soil will not be compacted inany manner. Sufficient compaction is readily achieved through the grading process and normal rainfall. Fertil-izer should be applied prior to planting to insure healthy plant development. Generally, a seed mix combinationof Bluegrasses and Rye are used in formally maintained Parks. Some low maintenance Kentucky bluegrasses thatperform well are: Kenblue, Park, Plush, Vantage, Victa, Vanessa, Barblue, Parade and S-21. Perennial ryegrasswill be used opposed to annual ryegrass. Athletic fields will be planted with new-improved Kentucky bluegrasstypes and new cultivars of perennial rye.

Upon formation, the Association will then assumecontrol of common area and facilities maintenance as well as the maintenance responsibility of the publicpark area within the subdivision until such time that a City-wide Park Maintenance District is created. TheAssociation shall be responsible for below listed items related to the ownership and maintenance ofcommonly owned areas and facilities and the maintenance of the public parks.Common AreasThe common areas shall include those areas of Cattail Lake Subdivision which are owned by theAssociation or those portions of private lots designated as "open space", including pedestrian easementsand access easements, the sewer lift station and stormwater detention facilities. The Association shall beresponsible for the costs associated with the maintenance of common areas including liability insurance andthe performance of work by third party vendors. The Association shall also be responsible for the costsassociated with areas which it owns including taxes.Public ParkThe Association shall be responsible for the maintenance of the areas designated as public park on thepreliminary plat of the subdivision until such time that a City-wide Park Maintenance District is created.Mowing and WateringTurf grass should have a mow height of no less than 3 inches and be allowed to grow to 4 or 4-1/2 inchesbefore being mowed again. Lawn areas require roughly 12 inches of water between June 1 and September1. At peak demand this means roughly 1 inch of precipitation per week in lawn areas. For mature lawnareas, this water should be spread evenly throughout the week in less frequent, deeper soakings.Depending on seasonal moisture, native grasses should be mowed 3 to 4 times per year; the first time at theend of May, the second time in mid-July, and the final time occurring in mid-October. The mow heightshould be a minimum of 4 inches, with 6 inches being preferable.Trees/ShrubsThe Association shall be responsible for the replacement of dead trees/shrubs. All tree trimming must beperformed by a certified arborist as outlined in City Ordinance 12.30.040. All trees on public property aresubject to City ofBozeman permits and ordinances. General monitoring for pests and diseases should bedone throughout the year.uPage 1 of 424 0nn0Winterization of the irrigation system typically occurs during the last week of October. At this time, thepower to the well pump should be turned off. Maintenance of the well pump should be performed permanufacture's recommendations. All manual drain valves should be opened. Use a high-powered airpump to blow water out of the system. Turn off the controller and leave water off until spring.Animal ControlDomestic pets in common areas must be kept on a leash and refuse must be immediately collected.Rodents may be controlled if levels threaten the survival of plantings or constitute a health hazard.Trash and DebrisLitter and other debris shall be removed on a weekly basis or more often if deemed necessary. Collectionof organic matter, including leaves, shall occur in the spring and fall.Signage, Furniture and EquipmentSignage, furniture (e.g., park benches), and equipment (e.g., irrigation well pump) shall be maintain permanufacturer's recommendations. Damaged or non-functional items shall be repaired or replaced in atimely fashion.Lake Water TestingThe water in Cattail Lake shall be tested twice a year, once in May or June and once in August, Septemberor October, by the developer until the Association forms at which time the Association shall assume suchresponsibility. Testing shall include tests for Fecal Coliform, Fecal Enterococci, Staphylococcus andPseudomonas. Copies of the test results shall be submitted to the City of Bozeman Parks Division for theirrecords.Street LightingThe Association (and developer prior to Association formation) shall be responsible for the cost, includingutility costs, of operating street lights associated with public streets within the subdivision. Thestreet/pathway lighting will be inspected weekly and burnt out lights shall be replaced within one week ofnotification to the Association. Damaged light fixtures shall be replaced within one month of notification.Sewer Lift StationThe sewer lift station servicing the subdivision shall be maintained according to a separate operatingagreement between the Association and the City ofBozeman.Stormwater Detention AreasDetention ponds will have a combination of grassy slopes and cobble bottoms. Lawn areas will be mowedas per section "Mowing and Watering." The cobble bottoms will be checked twice per season as part of thecomprehensive plan for controlling weed growth.Emergency Access to the LakeThe parking lot and access to the lake will be graded on an annual basis. The area will have snow removal,consistent with the City ofBozeman regulations.Page 3 of 425 nSOILS INFORMATIONThree soil types can be found within Cattail Lake Subdivision and park lands. These include two types of theBlackdog Silt Loam (SOB and 50C) and the Straw Loam (64B). The following page outlines the locations of eachsoil type.The Blackdog Silt Loam (SOB) is prevalent over most of the site. This soil has 0 to 4 percent slopes and comesfrom loess parent material. It is a very deep soil (greater than 60 inches) and is well drained, with a silt loamsurface layer. All recreational uses for the Blackdog Silt Loam are rated as slight aside from playgrounds. Thismeans uses such as picnic areas, paths, and trails are favorable in this area. Due to the slope present in someareas, this soil is considered "moderate" for playground development.The second Blackdog Silt Loam (50C) has all the same characteristics as the previous one, except that the sloperanges from 4 to 8 percent. It is found in the southwest corner of this development. Since the slope is greater, therating for playground use is considered "severe". All other recreational development is again classified as "slight".Straw Loam (64B) is present in the southeast corner of the site and has 0 to 4 percent slopes. It is also a verydeep, well drained soil, with alluvium parent material and a loam surface layer. Straw Loam is classified as"slight" for all recreational uses except for playgrounds, which are rated as "moderate" due to possible slopes.-APPENDIX E-26 nn\o m§'5y^a&a3'm^itf^•.^SSii-sK:•str^»sg*g0)U- 00coi^tm's^sasKiS^sss§mmtD^§.-*!m0?<iimw<•s»8;fars;*.§K0r^iivs"-:mmil§M-^gSS"&^<^LUorw0<^^a.*"m.=)^iM•«s0vstasai0)02,«•z15(0£u<•;2(Du<0gA^•y'M'..'•0%•-X>-LU%I>33Wftorm^0SSB=3^^sco>»*NWi®wt»>'it!!laSe,03.w",is-"L'"*!hlSiasiKSl9eWytififW'vw^.tiiAiauSaeaitiaSi^ffi-0|ieg3.S^36ft^w«^s••iv*«.t030.s3 Ss"^g.luate?.sz<a1/1327 Soil Survey ofGallatin County Area, MontanaCresFviewnMap Unit Legend SummaryGallatin County Area, MontanaMap Unit Symbol Map Unit NameAcres in AOIPercent of AOI50B50C64BBIackdog silt loam, 0 to 4 46.9percent slopesBlackdog silt loam, 4 to 8 0.6percent slopesStraw loam, 0 to 4 percent 0.8slopes97.01.21.7uILISDA Natural Resources5SiB Consenation ServiceWeb Soil Survey 1.0National Cooperative Soil Survey3/7/2006Page 3 of 328 nnn".2t:I_2CL0)c•s:^dic0)cUJ"Iz-I•Is?IIg£I3s-£ImI.£f5s•osIutipIII^•u?Is.iIIIC^J50^r0s^1s^"50III34s§w=)ImI!?^y)n££s£00?siA °s ?0CsJ CO CM0 t0cno in o00 CO CO§ g 8iA (ACD 0) C7)888§ g 8000000SS53^u u uI1-11s ^ ffwwwII0)!mgICO? ^ ?US ° LOsuSCsl0 0^ nCNo in 600 00 COg g gIllIT) LOcn CD§ § 8§ § g0000003 55< < <ddd0 LOs.A0 LOroin inN CMs s0 0co co§ §5GO CO8 8S 80 00 0--S< <<IJ0 0IsOTIE §• iillw co? ? s5s"IArs^§6 "I^ro10cdsiw •III1II.EIIs§•gj•ICsJ•s!I^1II-5ils sjiIw.as£"!UVI3S gwtf vvs15 £2 S5ua<s0u<QLD29 nns•I0)Q.2a.§IU)>J=Q-uuissI^•oII!Icus2"iIt!tS f^ .5s' °-i i1 IS•^ Ii Ig^-0I-frLUs£sd>s(0I.u:sIIIIvIIII5s?i.^s5§i.lQ.IttlSB CTI^I1mh-sIIIp"'^S 5^jsiejIlfIf I•c 8Itjli0wisIs;jI!S-5CL U3s'"2SsIIigs5(0U-)000^ " Y0 0 LOCM i-CD cn oiCN LO M0000 CO 0s s §I ° ° °^ 00 CO (D5 58§8? ^ ?p§•d-^1-s0 0•^ ^S 6 6N N10Ki s s6 r^- inIN N -^: \ :0CD 0mcn5^Ju->cotOLOs ^ p?s s ft0005 " Y0 0 10CM i-0^ CD 053§g0 CO 000 CO tD0 08 § 8? 5 ?§?§^r • •st-000n ^ ^i-?§si^~ in ioCjj n c\jCNKiin?(Din^ ^^ fep °s sn T-CD CD330 COsl(D CDo dg §? ?8gt ^f35ssssr^.ss(N??so 2 roco0smJusa^coII iII(U.£II1tiI"|£!I"I.1 ^sI §s i!1ssteI^I^u.as>su(^30sS .2ff -s?•5 ss ^a^0Z U<Q<yi30 nRoads and Streets, Shallow Excavations, and Lawns and LandscapingGallatin County Area, Montana[The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation.

STRATEGIC PLAN:5.3 Partnerships for Education and Learning: Strengthen and support partnerships for arts and culture with a wide variety of individuals, organizations, and institutions to enhance and improve education and learning in Bozeman. BACKGROUND:On December 8, 2020, Gallatin Watershed Council was awarded a grant of up to $28,380 via Resolution 5239 for the creation of interpretive signage to illustrate watershed health issues. The grant agreement establishes terms for completion of the project and payment of associated costs. PROJECT BACKGROUND As the City expands westward and south of town, the frequency of watercourse and wetland incorporation within or adjacent to City of Bozeman Parks is apparent. As part of developers appeal to the City to accept watercourse features into the design of a larger park area, a frequent offer has been interpretive signage to illustrate the importance of these riparian areas within the larger ecosystem and for mitigating the human impacts to water health. Rather than creating one-off signage within individual parks, Staff identified a need to create a cohesive signage package. From there, the Gallatin Watershed Council has taken the lead to create a grant proposal that will eventually lead to well-placed and well-designed signage within our parks system. Gallatin Watershed Council (GWC) staff will work the Parks Division and the relevant Recreation and Parks Advisory Board committees to identify up to 5 themes surrounding watershed health that can be illustrated within City of Bozeman Parks. GWC will coordinate with the artist and design team preparing the illustrations and sign designs for each of these first 40 prototype signs. Beyond that, Staff and GWC will work with new developers proposing Improvements-in-lieu to identify new locations for “spin-off” signs in one of the 5 theme areas. The initial investment of cash-in-lieu funding will make the program more economical, quicker, and, therefore, more likely to be welcomed by developers. Beyond the educational benefits of the project, the program will contribute to the spatial orientation of the park visitor within the greater Gallatin watershed; the ability to quickly understand and identify the creeks, wetlands, or irrigation canals within City Parks; and with the cohesive and complimentary signage illustration and design, increased awareness of the overall Park system. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:Per Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS:Project funded through the Park Trust fund for cash-in-lieu of parkland.

Purpose: The Gallatin Watershed Council is requesting Cash-in-Lieu (CIL) of parkland funding for the development, design and installation of five interpretive sign panels focused on watershed health. These first signs will be developed as prototypes for GWC’s anticipated city-wide educational signage installation. Replicable watershed educational signage will enhance visitor learning and cumulatively foster a greater appreciation for watershed connectivity and local conservation. Background & Partner Information: The Gallatin Watershed Council (GWC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2004, with a Board of Directors representing a variety of stakeholders in the Lower Gallatin Watershed. GWC conducts watershed stewardship education and outreach through their Gallatin Watershed Stewards program. Holly Hill serves as the Executive Director and Brooke Helstrom serves as the Big Sky Watershed Corps Member. Both Holly and Brooke will be responsible for managing the tasks included in this proposal. In January 2020, Addi Jadin, the Parks Planning and Development Manager for the City of Bozeman, approached GWC to discuss the potential of allocating CIL of parkland funding to water related causes. After brainstorming, together we came up with the idea for a cohesive educational signage project focused on watershed health using CIL of parkland funding. GWC then connected with artist and educator Katie Christiansen who has agreed to assist GWC with design and digitization services for the signage project. From 2018-2019, Katie was funded through a National Endowment for the Arts grant to develop comprehensive interpretive resources at the Trust for Public Land’s 60-acre Story Mill Community Park in Bozeman, MT, receiving the 2019 Bold Bozeman award from the Bozeman Beautification Advisory Board. Katie’s intricate watercolor technique creates ecologically-accurate and animated portraits depicting natural and cultural heritage elements. Katie’s design partner, Townshend Collective (TC), is a Bozeman-based company that specializes in branding and digital design. Both Katie and TC will provide a skill and aesthetic identity crucial to the creation of vibrant and high-quality interpretive signage. GWC also connected with Dr. Adam Sigler of MSU Extension Water Quality. Adam has extensive background in watershed science and education in the greater Bozeman area. Adam has received match funding from DEQ to assist in developing an online interface component of the signage. These prototypes will include an interactive QR code that will connect sign content with actionable stewardship, acting as an extension of GWC’s Gallatin Watershed Stewards 1 54 Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Funding Application for the Gallatin Watershed Council Prototype Design and Installation of Replicable Watershed Educational Signage program. The QR code will lead to an online landing page where the user can interact with and find data sets and action items relevant to each content block. Project Need As parkland within new development is frequently adjacent to watercourses, City staff identified the need to develop a comprehensive sign design rather than having signage created on a development-by-development basis. GWC intends to implement a program for installing up to 25 site-specific interpretive signs that each encapsulate one of five themes: canal/ditches, monitoring locations, underground streams and groundwater, drinking water/wastewater/stormwater, and wetlands. The proposed panels outlined in this application will serve as the first replicable signs within this larger program. The applicant’s hope is for installation of educational signage to begin as a suggestion made by Parks staff to developers who are planning to include watercourses, setbacks, etc. into their larger park plans. Eventually, these prototypes may become a standard requirement for new development and will be integrated into the master plan for the entire parks district. Project Objectives & Tasks OBJECTIVE: Design, print and install five prototype signs and accompanying online interface system. The resulting interpretative signs will be made available through licensing for replication up to 25 times through GWC’s anticipated regional interpretive program. The content of the signs will be pedagogically grounded, relevant, inclusive, accurate, and accessible to diverse multi-generational and multi- cultural audiences. OUTCOMES: 1.Five setting-specific interpretive sign panels on identified overarching watershed themes, size not to exceed 1,200 sq. in (e.g. 30” x 40”), to cover the following topics: a.Water quality b.Water quantity c.Gallatin Watershed Stewards d.Community values 2.Accompanying online interface Task 1: Project Management & Communications -Project Management: GWC will coordinate contracting with Katie and TC, manage all stakeholders and engage in the design review process. Print & Installation Management: GWC will coordinate with the GWC-contracted sign manufacturer on panel printing according to sign and panel design plans. Upon completion of final design, GWC will provide files to the sign manufacturer and will oversee panel print and installation management with the sign manufacturer and City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation staff (GWC Staff Time: 15 hours/sign x 5 signs @ $40/hr= $3000). 2 55 Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Funding Application for the Gallatin Watershed Council Prototype Design and Installation of Replicable Watershed Educational Signage -TC will engage in meetings, calls and emails with GWC and Katie regarding Panel Design and edits (TC Staff Time: 12 hours @$95/hr= $1,140). -Katie will engage with GWC and TC regarding Panel Design (Katie’s Time: 5hrs @ $60/hr= $300). Task 2: Development of corresponding online interface coordinated by MSU Extension Water Quality ($700 in match funding) Task 3: Content Development -Development of content and text aligned with interpretive best practices, identification of flora and fauna for Katie to illustrate, securing photographs and photo releases for use on panel, all for review and approval by City of Bozeman Park and Recreation staff (GWC Staff Time: 5 hours/sign x 5 signs @ $40/hr= $1,000). Task 4: Panel Illustration & Design -Establishment of Aesthetic Identity System. Development of these initial panels will require design planning in order to ensure that the design created will be scalable. Overall panel design will be given particular attention through establishment of a cohesive aesthetic identity system. Once established, these design and content “rules” will serve to inform and direct development of all future panels (TC Staff Time: 10hrs @ $95/hr= $950). -Illustration and digitization of original illustrations (Katie's Time: 5 illustrations/panel x 5 signs @ $470/illustration= $11,750). -Panel Design. TC will coordinate directly with GWC on accessing content and will engage in 2 rounds of reviews (TC Staff Time: $1,235/sign x 5 signs= $6,175). -File prep (TC Staff Time: 3hrs @ $95/hr= $285). Task 5: Fabrication and Installation (Sign Manufacturer Cost: $2,000 per sign x 5 signs= $10,000) Timeframe for Tasks 1-4: January 2021 - April 2021 Timeframe for Task 5 : April 2021-July 2021 Proposed Park Improvements and City Benefit: Through its creation of comprehensive signage to be installed on new development properties, this project leverages a unique opportunity to combine public and private interests. The design of the signs will be universally applicable to all new developments in the City, allowing future developers to seamlessly and efficiently integrate educational signage into their park plans. The prototype signs will act as a permanent park improvement by adding educational value to Bozeman’s residents, visitors and employees Through illustrative content blocks, action items 3 56 Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Funding Application for the Gallatin Watershed Council Prototype Design and Installation of Replicable Watershed Educational Signage and a QR code, these first prototype signs will give viewers the knowledge needed to address the watershed quality and quantity issues of the Gallatin Valley, aiding in the creation of next generation watershed stewards. The educational signage will help foster an appreciation for the viewer’s place within the watershed community and prompt the viewer to consider the implications of peri-urban development on wetland functions. Land use changes from agriculture to urban development will have major impacts on the water resources of the Lower Gallatin. Bozeman has an increasing influx of new community members, many of which may be unfamiliar with the ecological limitations of living in a headwaters watershed in a semi-arid environment. Cohesive education signage throughout the City of Bozeman will directly address this lack of public understanding through a coordinated effort to improve watershed awareness and stewardship. Replicable Signage and Cost Analysis for up to 25 signs Funding sources for this project beyond the first five prototype signs will be drawn from a multiple of stakeholders, mainly from developers. The development of the aesthetic identity system and the initial panel proposals in this application will reduce development cost of additional signs with the same themes. Katie will charge a flat $1000 licensing fee for the replication of any developed sign for a new location. To ensure the replicated signs are site-specific, Katie will be available to create limited new content (e.g. rewriting one block of text), update the panel file accordingly, and coordinate with sign fabricator. Thank you to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board and City Staff for considering this application. 4 57 Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Funding Application for the Gallatin Watershed Council Prototype Design and Installation of Replicable Watershed Educational Signage Submittal Requirements 1). Site layout drawing (site plan) with dimensions of proposed improvements at 1” = 20’ feet or larger scale as well as existing features in the area of the park. TBD. 2. Copy of the current park master plan with location of proposed features indicated (contact the Parks Planning and Development Manager for existing master plan). Park Planning and Development Manager will ensure compliance with Park Master Plan. 3. Describe the process utilized for obtaining public input and support for the project (HOA meetings, neighborhood survey, etc.). Public input on the design and content of the signage will be gathered through up to 5 stakeholder interviews conducted by GWC. The interviews will help to ensure alignment of important topics and content, narrative goals and sensitivities, and regional messaging. GWC will work with GWC’s community partners: the Gallatin Local Water Quality District, The City’s Water Team, which includes staff from Parks and Recreation, the Center for Large Landscape Design, MSU Department of Civil Engineering, the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and ProjectWET to design wetland-themed signs. Parks and Rec staff will coordinate with the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board Master Plan Committee. 4. Details or manufacturer cut sheets of the proposed site improvements. Signage similar in size and appearance to interpretative signage at Story Mill Community Park. Designs to be created. 5. Basic cost estimate for purchased items and installation costs. See Budget spreadsheet. 6. If applicable, describe in detail how all in-kind contributions will be provided (matching volunteer labor, donated items, etc). GWC staff Holly Hill and Brooke Helstrom will contribute to GWC's portion of project management and other project tasks via in-kind contribution. 7. Describe how the project relates to the goals and stated needs of the City’s Park, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Plan. The proposed signage will act as an educational compliment to existing green and open space and on new developments. The signs will also emphasize the importance of open trails and access to trails, as well as foster a sense of watershed community connectivity. Through its creation of comprehensive signage to be installed on new development properties, this project both enhances parkland in Bozeman and combines public and private interests. The educational signage prototypes will act as an extension of GWC’s Gallatin Watershed Stewards program and will educate users in the protection of our watershed. As new signs are developed, the online interface will encourage users to seek out other site locations and watershed themes, both strengthening the network of Gallatin Watershed Stewards and 5 58 Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Funding Application for the Gallatin Watershed Council Prototype Design and Installation of Replicable Watershed Educational Signage providing opportunities for families to recreate together. In addition, there is potential to integrate these watershed signs into a larger interpretative platform via the design and incorporation of supplementary materials such as a scavenger hunt or Steward Passport. These supplemental materials will further encourage community members to visit each sign and conduct Watershed Steward activities. 8. Describe the development project source(s) of cash-in-lieu (contact the Parks Planner and Development Manager prior to application). GWC and the Bozeman Parks Division have identified three locations with available CIL funding that would be suitable for the initial prototype signs: Rose Park, Bronken Park or along the Gallagator Trail near the community garden. The exact CIL allocation this project will draw from will be coordinated by the Parks Planner and Development Manager. GWC and the Parks Division will continue to explore other potential sign locations as new developments occur over time. 6 59 Task Estimate Responsibility Project Management and Content Development 4000 GWC ($5000 in-kind deducted) Illustration and Graphic Design 20,600 Artist/Design Team Sign Fabrication and Installation 10,000 TBD Signage Subtotal 35,300.00$ ($6920 per sign) Online Interface 700.00$ MSU Extension Project Value 36,000.00$ Sponsor Water Conservation Prototype Sign (6,920.00)$ COB Water Conservation Online Interface (700.00)$ MSU Extension/DEQ Grant CILP REQUEST 28,380.00$ Panel Design and Licensing Fee 1285 Artist Content Edits, Project and Print Management 280 GWC Fabrication and Installation 2000 TBD Total 3,565.00$ Matching Contributions from Project Partners Future "Spin-Off" Sign Costs 2020 CILP Budget for 5 Prototype Signs 60 EXAMPLE OF ARTIST'S WORK 61 COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 5239 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, APPROVING THE ALLOCATION OF CASH-IN-LIEU OF PARKLAND DEDICATION FUNDS FOR INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE WITHIN CITY OF BOZEMAN PARKS WHEREAS, the Gallatin Watershed Council has submitted an application for the use of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication funds to create interpretive signage illustrating various aspects of watershed health for the City of Bozeman Parks; and WHEREAS, the current balance within the city-wide cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication fund is $1,083,444.98 per Finance Department and Parks Division records; and WHEREAS, Section 38.27.030 (F.)(1.) of the Bozeman Municipal Code, (“Cash Donation in lieu of Land Dedication”) specifies criteria for which these funds may be utilized; and WHEREAS, the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board at their regular meeting of November 12, 2020 unanimously passed a motion recommending that the Commission approve the allocation of $28,380 from the cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication account to the 2020 Gallatin Watershed Coalition Interpretive Signage project; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana, 62 Section 1 – Municipal Code Reference In accordance with Section 38.420.030.F. of the Bozeman Municipal Code, the source of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication funding is appropriate for the items outlined in the 2020 Gallatin Watershed Council Cash-in-lieu of Parkland Application; and Section 2 – Funding Authorization The allocation of $28,380 from the cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication account is hereby approved for the 2020 Gallatin Watershed Council Cash-in-lieu of Parkland Application.
