BACKGROUND: In February 2020, the Bozeman City Commission conducted their review of the Preliminary Plat application for the Allison Phase 4A Major Subdivision and voted unanimously
to approve the preliminary plat application.
§76-3-611(1), MCA, provides that the City Commission shall approve the plat only if:
(a) it conforms to the conditions of approval set forth on the preliminary plat and to the terms of this chapter and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter; and
(b) the county treasurer has certified that all real property taxes and special assessments assessed and levied on the land to be subdivided have been paid.
The County Treasurer has certified that all real property taxes and special assessments assessed and levied on the land to subdivide have been paid. Attached is a memorandum from Susana
Montana, Senior Planner, stating the staff has concluded that all terms and conditions of the preliminary plat approval have been met.
Improvements Agreements are required for final plat approval of this subdivision. The improvements agreements guarantee the installation of public and private sidewalks, grading of a
temporary stormwater pond on a restricted development Lot 2, Block 2 to expand its capacity, and landscaping of public areas within 3 years of final plat approval. Financial guarantees
in the amounts of $125,343 for sidewalks and $129,131.10 for landscaping were received in the form of cash on October 4, 2021. A financial guarantee for the grading of Lot 2, Block
2 for expansion of the stormwater pond is pending along with a Hold Harmless document relieving the City of any liability related to flooding until the improvements are completed and
accepted by the City.

FISCAL EFFECTS: Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time, but will include increased property tax revenues from new development, along with increased costs to deliver municipal
services to the property.
