RE: Concurrent Construction Request—Westland Lofts Phase 2 Site Plan (COB#20-189,
C & H#171281)
Mr. Nielsen,
Concurrent construction is requested for the Westland Lofts Phase 2 Site Plan project with the
public infrastructure to be installed. Water main extension are proposed to service the
condominiums for the project. By allowing concurrent construction building construction can be
begin prior to the final completion and acceptance of the public infrastructure improvements.
As described in BMC 38.27.030.C.I, provision of municipal central water distribution, municipal
sanitary sewer collection systems, and streets means that the criteria in either subsection "a" or
subsections "b" and "c" are met. Subsections "b" and"c" outline the following:
(b)"The water mains,sewer mains and streets to be extended to provide service to the development
are: located within a publicly dedicated right-of-way or easement; constructed to city standards;
are physically adjacent to the site proposed for construction; are installed and accepted by the city;
and are adequate in capacity to provide necessary service to the proposed development; and
comply with the requirements of this subsection C.Lb and subsection C.Lc of this section;"
(c) "Water mains, sewer mains and streets must meet the following requirements:"
1) Any required on-site extensions of water mains, sewer mains or streets to be
dedicated to the public must be located entirely within publicly held easements or
rights-of-way; must serve only a single lot; are the subject of an irrevocable offer of
dedication to the city upon completion of the project; the development is under the
control of a single developer who must retain control of the entire project until final
completion; all work is under the supervision of a single general contractor; and no
subdivision of land is involved;
2) The DRC must determine when the standards of this subsection C.1 are met. The fire
department must consider whether adequate fire protection services are available
from existing hydrants, and water supply exists to meet needs during construction. If
adequate fire protection does not exist then concurrent infrastructure and building
construction may only occur under the provisions of subsection C.l.c.(3) of this
Civil/Structural Engineering and Surveying
section. Based on evaluation by the fire department, simultaneous construction of
infrastructure to be dedicated to the public and private construction may be permitted
only within a defined portion of the site;
3) Approval of the final engineering design, including location and grade, for the
infrastructure project must be obtained from the engineering department, and the state
department of environmental quality when applicable,prior to issuance of any
building permit for the development; and
4) No occupancy, either temporary or final, may be issued until all on-site and offsite
water, sewer and street or drive improvements are installed and accepted or approved
as applicable by the city.
The water mains to be extended to provide service to the development are located within public
right-of-way, are constructed to City of Bozeman and DEQ standards, are physically adjacent to
the site, are installed and accepted by the City of Bozeman, and have adequate capacity, satisfying
the criteria within subsection "b". Additionally, all on-site extensions of the mains are located
within 30' public utility easements and will serve only the proposed site/lot. There are existing fire
hydrants at the intersection of Kimerbwicke Street and Gallatin Green Boulevard, as well as
Galloway Street and Gallatin Green Boulevard. No building occupancy will be obtained until all
on-site water improvements are complete, satisfying the criteria within subsection"c".
Thank you for considering this request for concurrent construction and if you require any further
information, please give us a call.
Sincerely,
