Project Location & History
Section 1
Project Scope
Canyon Gate is located on the northeast side of Bozeman. The property is located on the northeast
corner of Bridger Canyon Drive and Story Mill Road. The Legends at Bridger Creek neighborhood
surrounds the property on the east and north sides. The site is across the street from Story Mill Park,
is 200 feet from the Legends at Bridger Creek Park, and is connected to the Glen Lake Rotary Park
by the Story Mill Spur Trail. The newly constructed multi-use path to the M-trail is also located on
the opposite side of Bridger Canyon Drive from the project site. The land that makes up the Canyon
Gate Subdivision has been used primarily for agriculture and was recently annexed into the city from
Gallatin County. The site is predominately pasture and an existing single-family home with outlying
accessory structures.
The Canyon Gate Master Park Plan is comprised of two main components: Dedicated Park Areas
and a Common Open Space Areas (with Public Access Easements). The primary purpose of this
document is to describe the initial level of development and maintenance of the parks, trails, and
common open space. The second objective is to show a concept for future recreation facilities that
could complement those installed by the developer.
Guiding Ideas:
• Promote pedestrian circulation by providing connections between residential neighborhoods
and park / open space areas
• Provide variety in recreation experiences and opportunities
• Provide areas for passive and active recreation
• Minimize hard or impervious surface
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 4
Canyon Gate
Parks Master Plan

Parkland Open Space & Amenities
Dedicated Parkland and Common Open
Space will make up 3.07 acres of the Canyon
Gate subdivision. These spaces contain trails,
playgrounds, manicured lawns, pavilions, and
other park amenities. The Cash-In-Lieu required
based on residential density will be proposed as
Improvements-in-Lieu to the parks totaling 2.57
acres or $258,076 worth of improvements.
In reference to Resolution 4784, the City will
accept value in-lieu of land as cash or by means
of privately constructed improvements within a
public park. This proposal prioritizes the acquisi-
tion of land rather than payments to the city, but
attempts to find a balance between the options.
The improvements proposed will exceed the
minimum requirements of the Bozeman UDC. The
value of provided recreational opportunities to
the community will exceed the equivalent value of
cash-in-lieu.
The following section outlines the installation
and maintenance of all dedicated park areas
for Final Plat filings. The plan puts emphasis on
open, maintained areas for passive and active
recreation. There will also be a playground with
age-appropriate equipment. Amenity details and
construction drawings will be provided for the
park at the time of infrastructure approval.

Parkland Open Space & Amenities (cont.)
Financing
All Park, Common Open Space, and street boule-
vards adjacent to the parks will be constructed with
the subdivision improvements and financed by the
developer.
Construction
Any and all site work (including trails) must be pre-
ceded by a preconstruction meeting with the City
of Bozeman. All plans, improvements, structures,
and plantings must be approved by the city prior to
installation. Building Permits are required for any
structural improvements. Any deviation from the
Park Master Plan must be submitted to the city and
approved before construction.
Planned Amenities
The development of parkland amenities will be
constructed by the developer to meet the Parks
Master Plan goals. The current list of planned
amenities includes:
1. 10’ wide Class I trail connecting the existing
trails along Bridger Canyon Drive to the
Legends at Bridger Creek Trail network
2. Benches at intermittent intervals along trails
3. Primary trail node at central east/west park
with picnic pavilion and seating
4. Natural playground area and parkour park
at southern park parcel, adjacent to existing
trees. A landscape berm here provides a
buffer from the residential homes and Bridger
Canyon Drive
5. Open lawn areas in the central park corridors
6. Northwest park will provide a community
garden and an off-leash dog park

Along Park
The goal of this application is to designate the parkland at Canyon Gate as linear park. The park layout
knits green space throughout the community and provides crucial off-street trail connections. The north/
south trails provide connections between Story Mill Park and the Legends neighborhood and the east/
west trails provide connections between the Creekwood neighborhood and Glen Lake Rotary Park. The
minimum width of these parks is 50 linear feet.

Vegetation
Vegetation
All vegetation shall be quality nursery stock and
construction documents will dictate further spec-
ifications and species selection. A variety of
species shall be selected to ensure that a pest or
disease event does not decimate the entire proj-
ect. Trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants will
be chosen for their size, hardiness, and aesthetic
nature. Plants used will be regionally native and/
or adapted to the extent possible.
Trees
All trees are subject to approval by the City of
Bozeman. Tree selection should be based on the
recommended species list provided by the City of
Bozeman. Tree size and selection shall be var-
ied to create visual interest and a varied genetic
palette.
Recommended Tree List
Colorado Blue Spruce
Northwoods Red Maple
Quaking Aspen
Cottonwood
Common Honey Locust
Spring Snow Crabapple
American Linden
Norway Maple
American Elm
Shrubs
Shrubs used within the watercourse setback will
be used to enhance the existing native vegeta-
tion, increase native habitat, and provide a varied
visual experience. Plants will be chosen based
on hardiness, aesthetic quality, and size. The City
Forester will approve final plant selection for all
woody plant material.
Recommended Shrub List
Booth Willow
Bebb’s Willow
Yellow Willow
Peachleaf Willow
Red Osier Dogwood
Alder
Common Chokecherry
Grasses
Herbaceous seed mixes will be dictated by the
construction documents. In general, turf areas
will receive a Kentucky bluegrass mix, detention
areas will be seeded with a mix tolerant of wet
conditions. All areas disturbed by construction
will be properly prepared and seeded with a
narrow spacing drill seeder. Before seeding, the
soil shall be loosened to a minimum depth of six
inches to improve initial root development and
amended if necessary. The soil will not be com-
pacted in any manner. Sufficient compaction is
readily achieved through the grading process and
normal rainfall. Fertilizer should be applied prior
to planting to insure healthy plant development.

Vegetation (cont.)Irrigation
All irrigation systems will be designed to meet
City of Bozeman requirements.
All main lines shall be Schedule 40 PVC or 150
PSI Poly Pipe. Pipe shall be installed at a mini-
mum depth of twelve (12) inches, main lines at
eighteen inch minimum depth. If this depth is
unachievable, the Parks Division must be con-
sulted. No stacking of irrigation lines shall be
permitted. Four (4) inches of sand shall be placed
beneath pipe, and four (4) inches of sand above
the pipe, to prevent compaction and settling.
Sprinkler heads will be installed on manufactured
swing joints (schedule 80 w/ o-rings). Heads to be
installed must be approved by the Parks Division
and shall be gear driven, with interchangeable
nozzle sizes, unless noted otherwise. They should
also be capable of producing the specified gpm
and coverage area and shall be set to manufac-
turers’ specifications. Electrical locate tape shall
be installed along all lines. Upon completion of
installation, all warranty and maintenance infor-
mation, as well as well logs and pump warranties
and information, if applicable, and an “as- built”
map shall be supplied to the City of Bozeman
Parks Division and HOA.
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 11

Soils Playgrounds
All soils to be used on public park land shall be
inspected by and meet the approval of City of
Bozeman Parks Division Staff prior to installation
and shall meet the minimum depth requirement
of 6 inches. All rock more than 1 inch in diameter
shall be removed. Soil tests (a sieve analysis and
soil analysis) shall be performed prior to planting
to determine the classification and texture of the
soils, along with any nutrient deficiencies. The
classification and texture will determine what
amendments, if any, are needed, while the soil
analysis will help correct any nutrient problems
with a pre-plant fertilization.
* Guidelines for soils - The soil will be deemed
acceptable if: it is less than 35% clay and less
than 70% sand and 70% silt. Ph must not exceed
8.4. The soil will be screened at 1” minus for
rocks and debris; topsoil depth will be at least 6
inches. The subbase, after grading, will be scari-
fied to a depth of twelve inches to insure drainage
throughout the profile.
Amendments may vary depending on existing
soils but will generally consist of 60% coarse sand
(generally concrete sand), 20% organics (C: N ra-
tio below 30) and 20% approved native soil. Soils
will be mixed, prior to installation, with a screener
/ mixer machine, or applied in layers on site and
mixed thoroughly with a deep rototiller. Depth
of amended soil will be a minimum of ten (10)
inches. There will be no compaction following the
grading process. Fertilizer, and the rate at which it
will be applied, should be dictated by the soil test
report.
Playgrounds shall be installed on parkland man-
aged by the HOA (or by the City of Bozeman at
such time as a Park Maintenance District is cre-
ated). All playgrounds must be approved by a
Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) and
meet ASTM F1487-01, CPSC and ADA guide-
lines and specifications. Playgrounds shall be
age appropriate, for area served, and be signed
accordingly. There shall be an adequate use zone
area around equipment, approved material in use
zone, which meets impact attenuation criteria as
specified in ASTM 1292, and adequate drainage.
All installation plans, materials list, construction
guidelines, maintenance information and manu-
facturer’s name shall be supplied to the HOA/City
of Bozeman’s Parks Division, upon completion of
playground installation. All work will be overseen
and approved by a CPSI. No wooden structures
will be approved.

Maintenance
Responsible Party
With the creation of the City-Wide Park
Maintenance District, the City of Bozeman
maintains responsibility for all maintenance of
recreation and other facilities within dedicated
parks***. The Declarant will be responsible for
maintaining pathways, open space, and parkland
until 50 percent of the lots are sold. At such time,
the City of Bozeman Parks Department will take
over maintenance.
***The exception to this is the Block 1 Open
Space area which includes an off-leash dog park
and community garden. It is the intent of the
applicant to dedicate this area as public park, with
a public access easement, that will be privately
maintained by The Association. The goal for this
is to alleviate some of the maintenance pressure
on the City, especially with amenities that require
a high level of attention such as dog parks and
gardens.
The Association shall be responsible for liability
insurance, local taxes and maintenance of
recreation and other facilities in the common
space areas. The assessments levied by the
Board for the maintenance, upkeep, repair,
and operation of common areas like all other
assessments, become a lien on each lot within
the Subdivision. The Board may, in its discretion,
adjust the assessments to meet the changing
needs of the community and the areas serving the
community.
The Association shall enter an annual contract
with a certified landscape nursery person for
upkeep and maintenance. The Association
shall also be responsible for the maintenance
of all common properties, paths and trails,
facilities, centers, and adjacent sidewalks and/or
landscaping in street boulevards. Maintenance
will include the following:
Trees and Shrubs
A contractor will be hired to perform park
maintenance. Maintenance duties to be
performed will consist of spring and fall clean
up, routine mowing, lawn patching, care, and
replacement of dead trees and/or shrubs. All
tree trimming and pruning must be performed by
a certified arborist as outlined in City Ordinance
12.30.040 in coordination with Forestry Division.
All trees on public property are subject to City of
Bozeman permits and ordinances.
Trails
Natural fines trails will not be plowed. These trails
will be inspected regularly and receive routine
patching and surface maintenance to prevent
erosion or unsafe conditions. Weeds on the
trails will be controlled following City of Bozeman
standards, set by the City Parks Division, and
using industry standards or as part of the weed
control plan described in this document.
Turf Care
Native grass areas should be mowed 3-4 times
per year dependent on rainfall levels The first
mowing should occur at the end of May, and the
second time should take place around mid-July,
with the final mowing in Mid-October.
Kentucky bluegrass areas should be maintained
between 2”-4 1/2” and should receive
approximately 12” water between June 1st and
late September. This translates to about 1” water
per week for lawn areas. Mowing will not be done
during extremely wet periods or when sub-grade
is saturated or with standing water. Established
lawns can receive a deep, but less frequent
watering to conserve and not over water.
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 14
Canyon Gate
Parks Master Plan
December 2022
Noxious Weed Control
A weed control program will be developed that
conforms to the requirements of the City of
Bozeman, Gallatin County Wed Control Board
Supervisor and NRCS. This program will
consist of an annual visit in June to spot spray
where necessary, including trails and sidewalks.
Weeds will be sprayed by a licensed contractor,
according to industry and local standards, on
a regular basis, using appropriate applications
and products. The utmost care will be taken to
protect water sources, park users and adjacent
property owners. The City of Bozeman shall be
notified of all applications of pesticides and/or
herbicide on public lands. Signs shall be posted
prior to application in appropriate and noticeable
locations identifying the product applied and the
date applied.
Signs will remain in place for a minimum of two
days after treatment. Records shall be main-
tained in accordance with State of Montana Pesti-
cide Act, Administrative Rule 4.10.207 and copies
submitted to the City of Bozeman Parks Division.
Fertilization
Fertilization should be minimized to prevent un-
necessarily high amounts of nutrients running off
into streams and wetlands on and off the site. No
fertilizer should be applied within 50ft of streams
or wetlands to further minimize the potential for
contamination through run-off. Trees and shrubs
inside the 50ft buffer should be monitored and if
fertilization is necessary, capsule fertilizer should
be used.
Lawns should be fertilized once in spring with a
24-4-24 blend after the last frost and with a 21-3-
21 in mid to late summer. It is recommended that
slow-release fertilizer be used to prevent exces-
sive shoot growth and to provide turf nutrition
over an extended period of time. Lawns should
be fertilized according to manufacturer standards.
Annual soil test should be performed to check
nutrient levels and determine whether changes
are necessary.
Maintenance (cont.)
Outside the 50ft buffer, shade trees should be fer-
tilized in April with a 16-10-9 blend plus iron and
zinc. Other trees should be fertilized with food
spikes, but no fertilization of woody vegetation
should occur past mid-July. Trees under one year
old should not be fertilized.
Evergreens should be pruned as necessary in
June and shade tree pruning should be done in
April, except for birches and maples. Birches and
maples should be pruned in mid-July to prevent
bleeding. All trees should be continually moni-
tored for pests and diseases throughout the grow-
ing season. Woody vegetation should be deep
watered right before the ground freezes.
Snow and Leaf Removal
Snow removal will be provided within the park by
a snow removal service retained by the Neigh-
borhood Association. Sidewalks must be cleared
within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall event
per Bozeman Ordinance 1529. The Homeown-
er’s Association will be responsible for clearing
snow on sidewalks, on walks adjacent to Parks
and Open Spaces and the South 19th boulevard;
no snow removal will be performed on the natural
fines trails. Leaf removal will be provided most
likely by a landscape contractor or handyman
service, as retained by the Neighborhood Associ-
ation.
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 15
Canyon Gate
Parks Master Plan
December 2022
Irrigation System
The irrigation system should be charged in April,
after the ground thaws and plants start growing.
The manual drain valves should be turned to
the closed position and well pump power switch
turned on. The controller should be programmed
for the anticipated water requirements for the
current month. All heads should be checked
for breakage and proper coverage and check
monthly for necessary adjustments. Drip emitters
should be periodically checked, and the entire
system should be regularly monitored for line
breaks, head breakage and vandalism.
Head replacement should be done with the same
brand to ensure efficient coverage for the sys-
tem working pressure and dispersal at an equal
precipitation rate. The height of heads should be
checked to avoid damage from mowers or main-
tenance equipment.
Winterization should take place during the last
week of October. Power to the well pump should
be shut off and all manual drain valves opened.
To flush out the lines, a high-power air pump shall
be connected to the quick coupler valves and air
should be run through the system. Each valve
zone should be opened and closed until all water
is completely flushed out, then the controller
should be turned off and water left off until spring.
Maintenance (cont.)
Any necessary watering during the winter months
should be done with a tank to prevent damage to
the irrigation system.
Animal Control
Pets should be leashed at all times while in the
parks and open space and residents must clean
up after their pets. If rodents become a problem
with regards to damaging plant material or posing
a health risk to residents or pots, rodent control
should be utilized. However, no poison is permit-
ted on within open space areas.
Refuse
Refuse within the open spaces will be collected
weekly by a service retained by the Neighbor-
hood Association or the party responsible for
maintenance.
