Re: The Bozeman Gateway Planned Unit Development – Phase 5
MMI Project No. 3638.009
To who it may concern,
The Bozeman Gateway Planned Unit Development Phases 5 is a development providing approximately
20,000 sf of commercial space. In accordance with the City of Bozeman’s Unified Development Code
(UDC), we are soliciting comments from public and private agencies and service providers regarding the
proposed Phase 5 of the Bozeman Gateway Project. A copy of the Preliminary Plat is included for your
reference.
The Applicant has gone to great extents to avoid and preserve existing wetlands and natural water features
on the site. All three natural streams will be permanently protected within open space corridors. An
Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit is in place to provide for mitigation of disturbed wetland areas. The
Applicant in the previous phases had solidified a plan to participate in a newly created off-site mitigation
program administered by the Montana Wetlands Legacy, a Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks sponsored
program.
The open space corridors and stream locations are illustrated on the enclosed preliminary plat drawing.
We are interested in any comments, questions, or suggestions you may have relating to the site or project
in general.
We can be reached at 922-6822. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
MORRISON-MAIERLE, INC.
