RE: MEDICAL EYE SPECIALISTS – CONCURRENT BUILD
CITY OF BOZEMAN PROJECT NO. 21149
Dear Diane,
The applicant for the Medical Eye Specialists site wishes to apply for a building permit prior
to completion of public infrastructure as identified under section 38.270.030 of the Bozeman
Unified Development Code. Per section 38.370.03.D of the UDC exceptions may be made
for concurrent construction to allow for building permit issuance. The following request is
made for construction of the Medical Eye Specialists building concurrently with public
infrastructure for the Eastlake Subdivision also known as Prospect Point.
Improvements to public infrastructure include water, sewer, storm drain, curb and gutter and
paved road and trail improvements. Prior to construction of on-site and off-site improvements,
the applicant will obtain required approvals and permits from the City of Bozeman, and the
Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The applicant understands that all necessary
improvements must be completed and reviewed by the City prior to a Certificate of
Occupancy being issued for the development.
Response to the 14 criteria for concurrent construction (UDC Sec. 38.370.03.D), for site
development are included below:
1. The city will have an opportunity to review and approve future proposed development through a site
plan review or planned unit development;
Response: A Master Site Plan has been reviewed and approved for this project. Current and subsequent
site plans will be completed in accordance with the MSP for City review. The Site Plan submittal for Lot
4 has already been approved by the City. Construction of Lot 4 infrastructure is the reason for this
concurrent build request.
2. The property owner must enter into an improvements agreement to ensure the installation of required
infrastructure and other applicable improvements, to be secured by any security or securities found in
section 38.270.080. If a financial security is used, the amount will be determined by the city and in an
amount not less than 150 percent of the cost of the improvements verified against city publicly bid unit
prices, where such are available. If no publicly bid unit prices are available, any cost estimate acceptable
to the city may be used. The security must be in the name of the city and must be at least six months longer
than the time of performance required by the improvements agreement;

Response: The property owner is prepared to enter into an improvement’s agreement with financial
security for 150% of the cost of improvements acceptable to the City. The security will be made in the
name of the City and extend a minimum of 6 months beyond the anticipated completion date. Estimated
costs for the improvements agreement is attached in Appendix A. Prices are based on the contractors
bid schedule for public infrastructure required for the project. The owner has already coordinated the
security with the bank. Upon approval of the plan he will provide a completion bond in a form that is
satisfactory to City requirements.
3. Improvements must be complete within two years of the date of the improvements agreement;
Response: Public infrastructure Improvements are anticipated to be complete by June of 2022.
4. Approval of the final engineering design, including location and grade, for any public infrastructure must
be obtained from the engineering department, and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality
when applicable, prior to issuance of any building permit for the development;
Response: Infrastructure approval has been granted by the City of Bozeman, and DEQ. Approval letters
are included in Appendix B.
5. Building permits may be issued incrementally, dependent upon the status of installation of the
infrastructure improvements. All building construction within the development must cease until required
phases of infrastructure improvements as described in the improvements agreement have been
completed, and inspected and accepted by the city;
Response: Incremental phases as deemed necessary by the City are acknowledged by the applicant.
Under no circumstance will building occupancy be issued prior to completion of the improvements
agreement.
6. The developer must provide and maintain hazard and commercial general liability insurance. Insurance
policies must not be cancelled without at least 45 days prior notice to the city. The commercial general
liability policy must name the city as an additional insured. The developer must furnish evidence,
satisfactory to the city, of all such policies and the effective dates thereof;
Response: The applicant (developer) is prepared to provide and maintain the required insurance and
name the City as additional insured.
7. The developer must recognize, acknowledge and assume the increased risk of loss because certain public
services do not exist at the site;
Response: The applicant (developer) acknowledges the risk of loss that may result from incomplete
public services.
8. If public funds or other third-party funding will be used to fund all or part of the installation of
infrastructure, the improvements agreement between the developer and the city must identify the type or
types of predetermined infrastructure funding. Public or third-party funding may include, but is not limited
to reimbursement, payment up front, creation of a special improvements district, or grants;
Response: No public funds are anticipated for this project.
9. No occupancy of any structures or commencement of any use constructed or proposed within the
boundaries of the development will be allowed until required infrastructure improvements have been
completed, inspected, and accepted by the city, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued;
a. No occupancy of structures or commencement of any use is allowed when such action would constitute
a safety hazard in the opinion of the city;

an interim basis during construction, if deemed appropriate;
Response: If deemed appropriate by the City, the applicant is willing to enter into an agreement with
the City to address provision of services.

and holding harmless the city, its employees, agents and assigns from and against any and all liabilities,
loss, claims, causes of action, judgments and damages resulting from or arising out of the issuance of a

and is prepared to enter into an agreement to hold harmless the City against any and all liabilities. The
draft agreement is included in Appendix C and will be finalized upon approval of the concurrent
construction plan and improvements agreement.
12. The developer must pay for any extraordinary costs associated with the project which the city may
identify, including, but not limited to, additional staff hours to oversee the planning, engineering and
construction of the project and infrastructure improvements, inspection of the infrastructure
improvements and any extraordinary administrative costs;

cover costs if additional staff hours are deemed necessary for inspection and project oversight.

must be no third-party builders until required infrastructure improvements have been completed, and
inspected and accepted by the city; and
Response: The development is under the control of Eastlake Professional Center LLC. who is the sole
developer of the Subdivision. The developer is working with a single general contractor (Langlas &
Associates) to complete the work required for the infrastructure improvements. The General Contractor
will supervise all work conducted on the site and will maintain control of the project until all required
infrastructure improvements are complete, inspected, and accepted by the City.
14. Subsequent to preliminary plat or plan approval, a concurrent construction plan, addressing all
requirements of this section, must be submitted for review and approval of the community development
director in consultation with the city engineer and with a recommendation from the development review
committee.
