RE: 616 W. Story Street, Application 21-206
Dear Jillian Bertelli,
The Department of Community Development received the above-referenced Historic
Neighborhood Certificate of Appropriateness (NCOA) application on June 9, 2021. Staff
reviewed the application in accordance with the submittal checklist and Chapter Sec. 38.340
of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) and the supplemental guideline document entitled the
Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation & the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay
District.
616 W. Story is located within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) and
Cooper Park Historic District. After a review of the proposed renovation and rehabilitation
for 616 W. Story, Community Development Staff has found components of the design does
not comply accordingly with the standards and provisions. Please address the following
questions & corrections:
1. BMC 38.540.050. As an additional bedroom is being proposed, please provide
parking calculations and show where they will be located on the site along with
identifying the bedrooms on the floor plans.
2. BMC 38.340.070. Staff appreciates the thought that is going into the addition and
how the impacts to the historic house are minimized. However, in order for us to
support the deviation and further minimize the impacts, the north wall of the
addition should be set back even further from the plane of the historic house. This
will assist in further distinguishing between the historic house and the new
addition.
3. NCOD Design Guidelines Chapter 3 – The proportions of the windows on the rear
elevation are not similar to what is used traditionally in the neighborhood. It is
understood that the function of the sunroom requires large windows, however, it is
recommended that the windows on the bedroom addition and sunroom addition be
divided up (i.e. split windows into 2 or 3, have larger trim in between).
The additional information we require, specified above must be submitted to the Planning
Division for review prior to being considered for NCOA approval. Revisions must be
accompanied by a Revisions & Corrections (RC) form which can be found on the City of
Bozeman website, on the Planning webpage under “applications” and “development
applications” in the panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Resubmission must follow the
previous Bozeman Cloud Project Intake Process.
If you have any questions please contact me at 406-582-2997 or srosenberg@bozeman.net.
Sincerely,
