Hello: This is another update regarding the future development of the Gallatin County Rest Homesite. You are receiving this email because you have expressed an interest in this project. If you would like to be removed from this group, please let me know by responding to this email. As we mentioned in the last email update, Gallatin County submitted an Informal Applicationto the City of Bozeman to explore employee housing and daycare on the vacant portion of property just north of the Rest Home. Initial comments have been received and are attached tothis email. There is a virtual follow up discussion planned for Friday the 16th at 11am. There is a link to the meeting details on the Gallatin County Commissioncalendar: https://gallatincomt.virtualtownhall.net/. Please note this is not a public hearing but rather an informational meeting to allow the Commissioners and consultants to ask clarifyingquestions related to the City informal comments. We will continue to update this group as the project moves forward. Thank you.

Contact the review engineer for template at sryan@bozeman.net Info Only 24 1 Engineering Suzanne Ryan 12/5/22 2:35 PM Comment BMC 38.400.010 A. 7. Half streets. Half streets are prohibited except when they are essential to the development, are beneficial to the city, or when the review authority is satisfied that the half street will be dedicated to the public after the adjoining property is developed. Half streets must be approved by the review authority, and when adjacent to unannexed land, the county road office. When an existing half street is adjacent to a tract to be developed, the undeveloped half of the street must be provided with the new development. Engineering is in support of a half street for Oak Park Drive. Engineering does not want Oak Park Drive to go through to Durston because it would violate access spacing requirements, but we do want it to go through to the future connection with Aspen drive. If a half street is used there must be no parking along the uncompleted side. Another option would be to have a private drive aisle with a public access easement. This would allow a narrower street section to be utilized. Info Only 25 1 Engineering Suzanne Ryan 12/5/22 2:50 PM Comment DSSP Section V.A. - A water design report must be prepared by a professional engineer for the proposed project.

Recently adopted Ordinance No. 2105 was created to incentivize the increased production of affordable rental and for sale housing. The ordinance adopted incentives for those able to produce affordable housing. Although the narrative did not indicate you were searching for incentives, it would be worth familiarizing yourself with the newly adopted ordinance to see if there were additional opportunities for the proposal. (BMC 38.380) It is through this Ordinance that a yield street may be proposed (Subject to Engineering review). These include a 40-foot right-of-way with two-way dedicated travel in a 16-foot advisory yield zone for motor vehicles and 5-foot walkways outside on either side. Note to qualify for the low income affordable home incentives, the developer must submit to the City an affordable housing plan that includes the information required within 38.380.40.
