add visual interest. At least three of the features listed in this section must be
employed at intervals relative to the individual dwelling units or at a maximum of
every 30 feet. The scale of the façade articulation should be compatible with the
surrounding context. Detail in the narrative and drawings which articulation
features are being utilized.
Response: (SP) Articulation of the building facades utilized a combination of
features such as windows, roofs, materials, and decks & columns in order to
reduce the perceived massing of the building and to add visual interest to all
four sides of each building. The typical unit widths and features used are
noted on the exterior elevations.
11. Building massing and articulation – BMC 38.530.040.E. Building façades
wider than 150 feet must include at least one of the listed features in this section

• Service & Meter Location. Applicant is showing electric meters on the west side of
both buildings and gas meters on the north side of both buildings with a note that
states “per Utility Company” for the gas meters. Has this proposed plan been
reviewed by the NWE Project Engineer? On the elevation plans the applicant is
showing two windows directly above the gas meters. Any windows installed above
the gas meters will need to be none-operable windows and must remain sealed at all
times. The following applies to all buildings in regards to the gas regulator. The gas
regulator cannot be placed under a window or within 3’ of the operable portion of the
window. It can be placed under a window/deck on the second story, provided the
“open/operable” portion has at least 6’ of clearance from the regulator. Ensure that
there is 10’ of separation from any mechanical air intake, including air conditioning
units.
o My recommendation would be to centralize the gas meters in the center of the
development where the open space is located. If NWE approves the location
Upland Way Condominiums
Concept Review Comments Narrative

of the electric meters on the west side of the buildings it is my
recommendation to install the electric meters along the west side of the
building closest to the center open space closer to the gas meters. Meter
locations will need to be approved by NWE. NWE policy is to maintain a
minimum 30-inches wide by 3-feet clear zone between the front of the meter
and landscape screening or wall screening for self-contained meter bases and
48-inches for installations requiring cabinets. Location of the meter(s) shall
allow easy access to the meters for operation and maintenance.
Response: (ME) Acknowledged.
• As stated in previous comments. Due to the size of the units a 3-phase transformer
may need to be used to meet the electrical demand of the units. If this is the needed
design then a second 10-foot utility easement may be required along the west side of
the property to extend 3-phase to a location where a 3-phase transformer could be
installed.
Response: (ME) Acknowledged.
• If an application has not been submitted, submit an application online to have the
NWE project engineer work with the applicant on electric and gas design. Any
deviation from NWE standards will need to be approved by NWE construction
manager. Go to www.northwesternenergy.com/construction to apply online Montana
Construction Application, and access Montana New Service Guide to provide
information on electric and gas service requirements.
Response: (ME) Acknowledged.

Parks Department
1. Adjust parkland calculation table. Net lot area is incorrect for a few reasons. Cannot
count all open space as part of the net density reduction; instead, it should just be the
4,240 sf of common open space deducted. If applicable, you can also net out street
easements. I would refer to Section 38.700.130 to review the net density calculation.
Response: (IC) See Civil drawings for open space calculations. Open space
area has been updated and is shown on the landscape planting plan.
2. Parkland is required up to 12 du/ac. Current density with 20 units on net 1.9 acre lot
(2 acres - 4280 sf open space) is 10.53 du/acre. Parkland would only be required up to
10.53 du/acre
Response: (IC) See Civil drawings for this information
3. Cash-in-lieu of Parkland appraisal value is set to be changed to $2.07 per square foot
on June 22, 2021.
Response: (IC) See Civil drawings for this information
4. Provide written justification for CILP request, per Resolution 4784
Response: (IC) See Civil drawings for this information
5. All CILP requests are reviewed by the Rec and Park Advisory Board or its
Subdivision Review Committee upon formal Site Plan submittal. Final CILP approval
is granted by Parks and Rec Director.
Response: (IC) See Civil drawings for this information
