G| STREET PATTERNS
1. Alleys: The existing alley, to the West of the lot, is clearly defined and is slated to be utilized as a public right of way utility easement.
The alley will be the primary access for residents in and out of the parking garage.
2. Streetscape: The streetscape at 5th & Main has been designed to align with the landscaping proposed. The design streetscape is in
line with what is identified in Bozeman’s Code of Ordinances. Additional landscape details have been provided in the landscape section.
3. Planting strips: Planting strips will be maintained to keep with the existing design of the streetscape.
4. Pattern of street trees: The pattern of street trees is intended to create a soft transition between commercial and residential
neighborhoods of the surrounding area, while addressing the requirements of Bozeman’s Code of Ordinances.
H| LANDSCAPE DESIGN
1. Preserve and maintain mature trees and significant vegetation that are a direct enhancement of the pedestrian
streetscape environment: The landscape will include planting areas with ornamental grasses, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Required
City of Bozeman landscape performance points will be met with a combination of drought tolerant plants and enhanced pedestrian areas.
See landscape plans for more information on the design that is being proposed at the ground floor and common courtyard.
I | UTILITIES
1. Orient service entrances, waste disposal areas and other similar uses toward service lanes away from major streets:
The waste disposal, trash room, is located directly adjacent to the main site access along 5th Ave. with access to the continuous alley
for ease of access across the site. This location takes advantage of the existing site circulation and pattern of service areas located off of
the alley, off of 5th Ave.
2. Position service areas to minimize conflicts with other abutting uses: Trash bins are located in the conditioned trash room for
easy access off the alley while trying to keep these services away from the pedestrian store frontage.
J| SITE FURNITURE
1. Site furniture should be simple in character: There is no planned site furniture at the ground level. See Landscape section for more
information on furniture layouts for common elevated courtyards.
