Dear Sarah:
This letter is to provide written responses to the comments stated in the DRC review memo dated April
19, 2021. Below are our responses associated with each comment.
Planning Division, Sarah Rosenberg, srosenberg@bozeman.net
SECTION 2- CODE CORRECTIONS
1. 38.420.110. There is an identified proposed trail as identified in the PROST Plan along the
south side of Technology Blvd. This shared use path should be on the south side of
Technology Blvd close to the ditch. Show the 25’ wide trail easement with a 10’ wide
concrete shared use path on the preliminary plat. This will need to be constructed with
the improvements of the subdivision.
A 10’ wide concrete shared use path is shown on the south side of Technology Blvd. West. It is
shown within the right-of-way and easement received from MSU.
2. See attached Engineering comments
See attached Engineering comments letter.
Advisory Comments:
1.Any construction in lot 1 cannot build within the watercourse setback unless exempt per
38.410.100.A.2. This could affect the hotel site plan. The DRC would not support an
encroachment or variance to allow for the construction of a building into the watercourse
setback.
The proposed hotel is not within the watercourse setback. The PUD received a relaxation to
encroach into 50-foot watercourse setback. Attached is Jurisdictional Determination from the
Corp of Engineers stating the ditch is non-jurisdictional.
If you should have any questions regarding these comments, revisions and corrections for the Preliminary
Plat 5 Application don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
