Master Park Plan Narrative NWX Apartments – An Icon Community November 1, 2021 Overall Park Vision The vision of the NWX community is to provide a well-connected system of parks, trails and open space, both internally and externally to regional destinations including the future north-south regional trail extension, Bozeman Sports Park, nearby schools and residential development. The focal point of the community is Homestead Park which functions as a linear park connecting multiple neighborhood parks. NWX Apartments – Park Vision A segment of Homestead Park will be developed alongside NWX Apartments. The park dedicated with this project is the eastern portion of P3 of Homestead Park as identified in the NWX Overall MSP. Additional area on the west side of the P3 parcel was identified and will be defined and dedicated as part of the NWX Phase 1 plat. Due to its centralized location, the park allows for the natural open space character to extend up to the street, supporting a use of native appropriate landscape materials throughout the community and encouraging appreciation for this unique natural resource. The parks’ location along Rosa Way makes the park highly visible and highly accessible. Homestead Creek, (currently Baxter Ditch) abuts the park to the west. The park consists of nature-play inspired equipment, work out stations, gathering shelters with seating options, pet stations and a large recreation lawn. The park will be dedicated to the City of Bozeman, and will be fully accessible to the public. Park Calculations The park dedication requirements include a mix of land dedication, improvements-in-lieu, and cash-in-lieu. The applicant team has been working closely with the City of Bozeman to ensure that the intent is met with park dedication. The attached plan provides the calculations that were used to determine the land dedication and parkland value for cash and improvements-in-lieu for parks. The plan also illustrates the land dedicated and the improvements proposed to meet these requirements. The applicant team is aware that the value of parkland may change over the life of this project, thus these numbers are subject to change as well.
