If the applicant is planning on acquiring occupancy building by building, but not extending construction over 2-years, then a construction management and phasing plan is still required with the site plan. a.

Ensure stacked parking spaces in front of garages that are counted towards provided parking stall counts meet the 9'x 18'surface parking standard.Delineate the spaces on the site plan with annotated dimensions. T: 406.581.4097 1 E: MCOTTERMAN@CADDISENG.COM PO BOX 11805,BOZEMAN, MT 597191 WWW.CADDISE-NC5.COM Stacked parking spaces are delineated, dimensioned and enumerated on the site plan. b. Interior garage spaces not meeting the 22-foot space depth requirement interior wall to interior wall. Interiorgarage spaces meet the 22 foot depth requirement. c. Snow removal storage areas must be provided sufficient to store snow accumulation on site. Such areas may not cause unsafe ingress/egress to the parking areas, may not cause snow to be deposited on public rights-of-way, may not include areas provided for required parking access and spaces, and may not be placed in such a manner as to damage landscaping. All snow removal storage areas must be located and designed such that the resultant stormwater runoff is directed into landscaped retention/detention and water quality improvement facilities as required by the engineering department, or in compliance with the storm drainage provisions of chapter 40 article 4, and/or best practices manual. Adequate snow storage areas are depicted on the site plan. 4. Landscaping - Section 38.550 - The landscaping section of the UDC has been revised and adopted by the City Commission with ordinance #2029. The changes, including removing the performance points system,go into effect December 18,2019.Demonstrate compliance with the formal submittal. Compliance with the new landscaping section of the UDC is outlined in the included Landscaping Plans. 5. Lighting-Section 38.570, demonstrate compliance with this article with any exterior building mounted or parking area lighting. Attached photometric lighting plans demonstrate compliance with UDC Section 38.570. 1. Buildings 19 and 20 (Duplexes) - no issues As noted, and acknowledged, no issues. 2. Building 21, Lot 5,Block 6 (Triplex) -Fire sprinklers and fire alarm systems required due to three units and stories,as acknowledged in the application. It is our understanding the City changed its fire line policy since these comments were received and fire sprinklers are now only required on four-plexes or greater. 3. The fire riser/domestic water service room should be sized to provide two-foot clearance from pipe to exterior walls as specified by city standards. See response to comment 2 above. 4. Road/alley ways designated, as 24-foot wide will be required fire lanes. Marking and features shall be installed per Fire Code at points of ingress/egress and corners. Alley and roadway markings were completed as a part of the Gran Cielo Subdivision infrastructure. 5. Building addresses should be as building is fronted to Graf and S. 31st St. Building addresses have been assigned by the City accordingly. 1. Park area requirement is to be provided as Improvements-in-lieu of Parkland in accordance with the preliminarily approved Gran Cielo Master Park Plan. Provide a spreadsheet showing itemized improvements to meet the base park requirements for the Subdivision,additional improvements for the additional density of this lot up to 12 units per acre,and improvements required for any other lots being reviewed concurrently.CIL owed for subdivision requirements will be established at the time of Final Plat for Gran Cielo Subdivision. Subsequent development must provide improvements based on the appraisal value at the time of Site Plan completion(unless equivalent improvements have been previously installed or guaranteed). Provide in the spreadsheet the cost per line item to show compliance with the appraisal value established. Staff requests an editable Excel spreadsheet to assist in future site inspections. According to the final plat of Gran Cielo Subdivision Phase 1, an excess of parkland was provided(improvements in-lieu were not proposed with Phase 1). As noted on each Sheet C1.0 of our submittal "Parkland calculations on Sheet 5 of the Gran Cielo Subdivision Phase 1 Final Plat show that a development density of 12 dwelling units per acre was assumed for each of the 4 multi-unit lots associated with this project Lot 9, Block 12, Lot 4, Block 12; Lot 3, Block 5 and Lot 5, Block 6 in aggregate were assumed to contain a total of 28 dwelling units. This project proposes a total of 28 dwelling units on said lots. The assumed density and resulting subdivision parkland dedication provides sufficient parkland to meet the requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code." Since improvements in lieu are not proposed/required a cost per line-item spreadsheet calculation is not necessary. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information to complete your review of this project.
