13 PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• LOCATION AND HISTORY
Baxter Meadows is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of approximately 460 acres. The PUD
boundary is irregular, but is generally bounded by Cattail Street to the north, Davis Lane to the east, Harper
Puckett Road to the west and Oak Street to the south. This park master plan relates specifically to Phase 6
of the subdivision. Phase 6 of the PUD is located in the southeast quarter of section 34, Township I South,
Range 5 East in Gallatin County, Bozeman, Montana. Previous phases have been prepared by Olson
Landscape Architecture, Inc and Peaks to Plains Design, P.C. The area has been historically used for
agricultural purposes for the production of hay and grain as well as an existing dairy farm. One hundred
acres of land within the PUD was sold to Gallatin County for the purpose of creating a regional park. Phase
6 has approximately 1.5 acres of park and open space land.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Phase 6 contains approximately 1 1.5 total acres.
The majority of the phase will be medium-
density single family lots, with three additional
large multi-family lots.
Existing conditions neighboring Phase 6 include the 100-acre Regional Park to the south, as well as the
future YMCA site. The new Bozeman middle school site is adjacent to the northwest corner. Also adjacent
to the project are residential homes, a linear park, and out-of-production agricultural open land.
The first phase of Baxter Meadows was platted in March of 2003. Phase I consisted of medium density multi-
family and single-family lots, estate lots, a bed and breakfast, a veterinary clinic, two pocket parks and a linear
park. Phase 2 was divided into several sub-phases, of which the adjacent 2C and 2D phases received final
plat in the summer of 2005. Phase 2 consists of neighborhood mixed use lots, retail office, and medium
density housing. It also includes linear parkland that is adjacent to Phase 6 on the south and east. Phase 3 is
comprised of 83 acres of low density, single-family residential lots, and includes a total of 27 acres of park and
open space. Phase 3 presently has preliminary plat approval.
Phases 4 and 5 have not yet been built,- they currently have concept plan approval only.
u PARK AND OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS Li
--I GENERAL INFORMATION
Phase 6 consists of two main park and open space areas. The first area is a pocket park off Milkhouse
Avenue, between Kimberwicke and Galloway Streets. It is roughly 19,420 square feet, and will serve as a
passive recreation space. To the east of the pocket park, adjacent to Phase 2B is another green space. This
linear area lies west of a stream corridor and serves as access to a park just east of the stream. It consists of
gravel trails and both upland and riparian plantings. Other shared common space in this phase includes
trail corridors and boulevards.

PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• L SITE FURNISHINGS
The main furnishing for this park will be benches placed along pathways
in the site. To maintain a sense of continuity, site furnishings for the park
shall match existing ones in other phases, if possible. Benches should be
6' in length, constructed of powder-coated metal and/or recycled plastic.
All benches shall be permanently mounted in place. A sample bench is
shown at right.
PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Pedestrian circulation throughout this area is facilitated by a series of sidewalks and trails. Concrete
sidewalks, at 6'wide, will service the exterior of the pocket park. Walkways running between lots to the
north and south of the pocket park will be S'wide concrete and will connect to the sidewalk around the
perimeter of the park. The east-west trail in Phase 6 connects the pocket park to the linear parkway in the
eastern part of the site. It is an 8'wide gravel trail,- granular components of the gravel trail include 3/8 inch
gravel with a 20 percent clay binder that is rolled and compacted to create a firm, stable surface. This trail
then connects to the Bozeman-to-Belgrade trail (running north-south through the site), which is a 10 foot
wide asphalt surface. Connection with this trail provides access to other phases within this project, as well
as other parts of the city and surrounding area. All trails will be built to the City of Bozemar standards, as
shown in the graphics below.

L.AESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONAL GRADING
Grading within this park will be used mainly for aesthetic purposes. Subtle berms will be used near the
west entry to the park, in conjunction with planting areas. They will add character and interest to the site,
as well as provide a buffer from the roadway. Because there will be plantings on the berms, they will be
covered with mulch, avoiding the challenge of mowing a grassy berm. The berms will be bordered either
by sidewalk or by a rock swble.
WOODY VEGETATION
The vegetation in all of the park lands will be quality nursery stock. Boulevard trees will be planted in all
• right of way areas as required by the City of Bozeman. Boulevard trees will be limited to deciduous shade
trees and will contain several different species to avoid a monoculture.

BAXTER MEADOWS SUBDIVISION
El PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• Smaller, ornamental trees add interest to the landscape by having significant Flowering capabilities,
ornamental fruit or interesting bark. Ornamental trees are placed at trail crossings, entrances and other
nodes. Any fruiting trees will be located away from sidewalks and trails.
Coniferous (evergreen) trees and shrubs add winter interest to the landscape in addition tc providing
valuable screening and wind buffering capabilities. Evergreen trees are placed to accommodate the
future mature growth so they will not block walkways.
Final plant species selection of both the shrub and tree species will have final approval by the City Forester
and City Parks Department prior to construction. No trees shall be planted within 10' of any utilities and
must be at least 35' from intersections and sight triangles.
HERBACEOUS VEGETATION
Planting beds are proposed for the pocket park and will include not only ornamental and evergreen
trees and evergreen shrubs, but ornamental grass as well. Ornamental grasses are selected for their cold
hardiness, aesthetic character, size and water requirements. The grasses are valuable for their year-round
landscape interest and the soft look they add to a space in contrast to woody vegetation. Both the
planting beds and rock swales will have Typar weed barrier fabric. Where either areas border irrigated
lawn, aluminum landscape edging will help separate the spaces and contain the weed fabric. All planting
beds will also receive a 3" deep cover of shredded bark mulch.
Any areas that are disturbed by construction activities will have a prepared seed bed and reseeded with
the appropriate grass species. It is recommended that all seeding is completed with a narrow spacing drill
• seeder, then rolled and compacted for optimum establishment. In areas with slopes at or over 3.I,
broadcast seeding will be appropriate, but must be raked into the soil and then rolled and compacted. In
areas that receive rotor irrigation, the recommended seed mix (seed mix #1) is as follows:
GRASS SPECIES PERCENTAGE OF MIX
Kentucky Bluegrass 60
Perennial Ryegrass 25 %
Creeping Red Fescue 15 %
Drill Seed at 5 lbs. per 1000 square feet; double the
rate for broadcast seeding
Areas that are not in wetland or low lying areas and do not receive any irrigation will be reclaimed and
seeded with the following mix (seed mix #2) which contains many of the native species found in the
region:
GRASS SPECIES PERCENTAGE OF MIX
Western Wheatgrass 40
Slender Wheatgrass 20%
Thickspike Wheatgrass 10
Bluebunch Wheatgrass 10%
Sheep Fescue 10
Sherman Big Bluegrass 10%
• Drill seed at 10 lbs. per acre, double the rate for
broadcast seeding

PHASE o MASTER PLAN
• WATERCOURSE SETBACK VEGETATION
Spring Ditch, a natural stream, flows north along the east boundary of Phase 6. This phase of the Baxter
Meadows development includes 725 linear feet of stream. Total width of the wetland area has been
widened to an average 5 feet (for mitigation purposes) with a 50-foot setback extending from the
western edge of the wetland. The 5-foot wetland zone (as of the Spring of 2005) has been planted with
sedge, wetland forties, and willow sprigs (Table 1); because of these changes, the Army Corps of Engi-
neers now classifies this as an "enhanced" wetland. The next 10 feet within this setback, the embankment
upslope, is considered the transitional zone, and is seeded with a native seed mix (Table 2) and container-
ized dogwood, aspen and willows (total of 10-15). The remaining width of Zone 1, due to topography
and hydrology, is not able to support wetland species, which are called for in the UDO.
It is the intent of Phase 6 developments to have little to no impact on this 2005 effort. However, planting
will be completed in the remaining setback area. The remainder of Zone 1 will be planted with a native
seed mix as well as a portion of the 18 trees called out on the planting plan. Zone 2, the last 22 feet of the
setback, will also have a portion of native grass as well as some irrigated lawn. The remainder of the 18
trees and shrubs will also be planted here. According to Section 18.42.100 of the Bozeman UDO, the final
plant count of over 40 trees and shrubs exceeds requirements for this phase, even though not all
plantings fall within the zones as specified. Adjustments were made based on existing site conditions so
as to not cause undue disturbance. Appendix G contains a detailed description of plantings within and
maintenance of the wetlands and setback areas.

PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• u IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
The irrigation system will be professionally designed and built to the City of Bozeman standards and
specifications. All main lines and lateral lines will be schedule 40 PVC pipe, with the exception of any drip
lines which will be a class 160 polyethylene pipe. Most of the area will be irrigated with gear-driven rotor
heads connected with unitized swing joint to the main line. Trees located in native grass (non irrigated)
areas will receive supplemental drip irrigation for establishment purposes.
One well will be drilled in the phase 6 pocket park area. The well will produce the maximum allowable
rate of 35 gallons per minute and will contain a submersible pump that provides the necessary pressure to
efficiently run the system. The systems will be controlled with Maxicom-compatible automatic controllers
that are programmed to run the pump relay and individual zones.
u MAINTENANCE'--
* RESPONSIBLE PARTY
The Developer will maintain the parks until a Home Owner's Association is formed, who will then assume
control of park maintenance until a City-wide Park Maintenance District is created.
u MOWING AND WATERING
Depending on seasonal moisture, native grasses should be mowed 3 to 4 times per year, the first time
at the end of May, the second time in mid July, and the final time occurring in mid-October. The mow
height should be a minimum of 4 inches, with 6 inches being preferable. Every third year native grasses
• should be burned in late winter or early spring. The burning is important because it controls invasive
plants, eliminates crop residue and recycles nutrients.
Turf grass areas should have a mow height of no less than 3 inches and be allowed to grow to 4 or
4- 112 inches before being mowed again. Bluegrass lawn areas require roughly 12 inches of water
between June 1 st and September I st. At peak demand this means roughly I inch of precipitation per
week in lawn areas. For mature lawn areas, this water should be spread evenly through the week and in
less frequent, deeper soakings.
L1 NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL
A noxious weed control program has been established with a local contractor. A yearly property check
with spot spraying as required should occur in the month of June. This should be coordinated with the
County Weed Supervisor and the NRCS agent. This program can also be used to control the weeds in
gravel trails and walkways with spot application of a weed control agent as required.
FERTILIZATION
Fertilizing of grass and lawn areas should be done as necessary in should not be overdone to minimize
water needs and mowing and to protect sensitive areas. Lawns which have irrigation at head to head
coverage should have two applications of fertilizer: The first should be a blend of 17-17-17 in May and
then should have an application of 27-8-8 in mid summer. As the lawns are establishing the rate of
fertilization should be 40 Ibs per 10,000 square feet. An established lawn should be fertilized at a rate of
60 lbs. per 10,000 square feet. Bi-annual soil test should be taken to assess soil nutrient contents and
• adjust fertilizer rates accordingly.
Cb PEAKS TO PLAINS DESIGN. P.C. 06• ,JULY 2006
BAXT'ER MEADOWS SUBDIVISION
PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• The seed mix that has no irrigation or areas within 50 feet of a stream or wetland should not be fertilized
and has no plan for regular application of fertilizer. This will minimize excess nutrient run-off that will
adversely affect the water ecosystem. Trees and shrubs located within the 50 foot corridor should be
monitored and if deemed that they need fertilization, the use of capsule fertilizer should be utilized.
In areas outside the corridor, the shade trees should be fertilized in April with 16-10-9 plus iron and zinc.
Once trees and shrubs are established, they should be fertilized with tree food spikes. Do not fertilize trees
and shrubs past mid-July. Pruning of evergreens should occur in June. Shade trees should be pruned in
April, except maples and birch. Maple and Birch species should be pruned in mid to late July. General
monitoring for pests and diseases should be done throughout the year. Trees and shrubs should be deep
watered right before the ground freezes.
Li SNOW REMOVAL
Concrete sidewalks located in the public right-of-way will have the snow removed within 24 hours of the
end of any snowfall event as per Bozeman Ordinance 1529. The responsible party will be the
subdivision's Home Owners Association. Gravel trails will not have a regular snow removal schedule.
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
The irrigation system should be charged in April, after the frost has left the ground and plant material
begins to grow. All of the manual drain valves should be turned to the closed position. The power for
the well pump should be switched to the `on" position. Program or adjust the controller for the current
month"s watering needs. Check all heads to ensure that there is no breakage and that proper coverage
• is attained. Each month the heads and controller should be checked and adjusted for the weather. The
irrigation system will need to be monitored to watch for breaks, vandalism and overall needs of the site.
When the sprinkler heads are repaired, repairs should be made with the same brand and nozzles. This
ensures that the coverage is efficient for the working pressure and disperses at an equal precipitation
rate. The heads should be checked to ensure that they are seated at a level which it is not damaged from
mowing or maintenance equipment. A periodic check of the drip emitters around the trees is necessary
to ensure they are functioning properly.
Winterization of the irrigation system typically occurs during the last week of October. At this time, the
power to the well pump should be turned off. All manual drain valves should be opened. Use a high-
powered air pump to connect to many of the quick coupler valves around the system. Run air through
the system, opening and closing each valve zone, until all of the water is completely out of the system.
Turn off the controller and leave the water off until spring. If winter time watering is necessary, this should
be done manually from a tank to avoid damage to the system.
U ANIMAL CONTROL
Domestic pets in parks must be kept on a leash and all refuse must immediately be collected by their
respective owner. Rodents may be controlled if levels of predation threaten the survival of plantings or
constitute a health hazard. Poisons to control rodents can not be used on City of Bozeman owned or
dedicated land.

.. PHASE 6 MASTER PLAN
• C SOILS INFORMATION L
Due to the relatively small scale of this site, there are only two 5V
soil types founds within its boundaries. These are the Blackdog
Silt Loam 50B and the Enbar Loam 509B . The ma at right
I I I I P
shows the general outline for Phase 6 of Baxter Meadows and
the locations of the two soil types within this phase.
BlackdogSilt Loam 50B is the dominant soil e in the western f, �
( I type 509B 509113 part of this development. This soil contains 0 to 4 percent slopes
and has a deep loam surface texture lover 60 inches in depth). r .
Blackdog Silt Loam is derived from loess parent material. 0
F.X,
Recreational value for this soil type is listed as "slight' for all uses, WD
meaning it is favorable for any recreational application.
The Enbar Loam (509B) is located in the eastern portion of this phase. This soil also has a very deep loam
surface texture and slopes from 0 to 4 percent. The Enbar Loam tends to be a poorly drained soil, with
alluvium parent material. Due to its tendency to be slightly wet, this soil is classified as "moderate" for both
picnic area and playground development. Construction of trails in the area of this soil is favorable, with a
classification of"slight' for this use.

RE: Baxter Meadows Phase 6 Park Plantings
Dear Lanette,
The Phase 6 parkland within Baxter Meadows Development includes Spring Ditch, a
natural stream that was historically ditched during ranch operations. The stream is
located along the east side of the parkland and flows north. A 50-foot setback has been
established from the western edge of the 5-foot wide wetland and extends 50 feet west
into the adjacent open space; the entire setback is therefore 55 feet wide (Figure 1).
Spring Ditch Wetland Mitigation
Improvements to Spring Ditch represent a significant portion of the wetland mitigation
efforts within Baxter Meadows Development. Mitigation occurred during the spring of
2005. There are two zones within the streamside mitigation area: wetland and
transitional. The initial 5 feet(average) is classified as the wetland zone and is vegetated
with sedge,wetland forbes, and willow sprigs (cut willow branches that develop into
mature shrubs). The embankment upslope (10 feet average)of the wetland zone is
classified as the transition zone and is vegetated with a native seed mix and containerized
shrubs and trees.
The wetland zone was widened for mitigation purposes from a width of approximately 2
feet to a width of 5 feet and seeded with a wetland seed mix(Table 1). Willow sprigs
(10-15) were planted along the edge of the wetland adjacent to the flowing stream. Asa
result of these changes the wetland has been classified as"enhanced" according to Army
Corps of Engineers wetland mitigation terminology. The transition zone was seeded with
a native upland seed mix(Table 2) and planted with containerized shrubs (10-15
dogwood, aspen and willows).

• which has been seeded with a native upland seed mix and includes containerized trees
and shrubs; this area cannot sustain wetland species because of the steep incline and
subsequent lack of hydrology. The remaining 18 feet of the 33-foot wide Zone 1 will be
seeded with a native seed mix(Table 3)and planted with a portion of the 18 trees and
shrubs included in the landscape plan (Table 4).

Zone 2
Zone 2 will be comprised of the remaining 22 feet of the 55-foot wide setback. This area
will include a trail, shrubs and trees, and an area of irrigated and non-irrigated grass.
Between the trail and edge of wetland along the watercourse a native seed mix will be
used; this native seed area will not be irrigated however, it will be mowed twice yearly to
control overgrowth and weeds(Table 4). Between the trail and western edge of the open
space a non-native mix will be used which will be irrigated and mowed(Table 5).
Tree and Shrub Requirement
The UDO requires that 20 trees and shrubs be planted within Zone 1 and none in Zone 2.
The total number of trees and shrubs already planted and proposed within the landscaping
plan for Zones 1 and 2 will exceed 40 plants.

UDO Setback Requirements
The UDO requires that a setback be vegetated according to zone delineations: Zone 1
would consist of be 60%, or 33 feet,of the 55-foot setback and Zone 2 would consist of
the remaining 40%, or 22 feet. The UDO further requires that within Zone 1,the initial
30%(10 feet) be planted with"native riparian sedges", etc. and the remaining 70%(20
feet)be planted with a specific density of shrubs and trees (one shrub or tree every 25-35
feet or 20 individuals for a setback length of 725 feet). Zone 2 of the setback would
represent the remaining 22 feet of the 55-foot setback and be comprised of native grasses.
We propose that these Zones be adjusted to fit the current topography and wetland
mitigation zone area.
Current and Proposed Vegetation Characteristics Within Setback
Zone I
The length of stream within the Phase 6 parkland is 725 feet. Within Zone 1 there is a 5-
foot wide wetland/sedge zone, which includes willow sprigs that will develop into mature
. shrubs(Figure 1). Upslope of the wetland zone is the stream embankment(10 feet wide)
i •
• TABLE 5
ZONE 2 IRRIGATED AREA GRASS SPECIES
Common Name Percentage of Mix
Kentucky Bluegrass 60%
Perennial Ryegrass 25%
Creeping Red Fescue 15%
Maintenance
The wetland mitigation area will be monitored for 5 years to satisfy the Federal 404
Permit requirements; no tree or shrub replacement will be necessary. Weed control
within the mitigation area will be maintained by the Developer until this duty is turned
over to the Homeowner's Association(HOA). Trees and shrub replacement and weed
control from the top of streambank to western edge of the 50-foot setback will be the
responsibility of the Developer until the HOA takes over the duties.
The proposed 50-foot setback plantings and current vegetation composition along the
Spring Ditch streambank will provide more plants than the UDO requirements. Thank
you for reviewing our current vegetation profiles and proposed planting specifications. If
you have any questions concerning the above information,please call me at 580-6993.

RE. Phase 6 Wetland Assets
Dear Farley,
Phase 6 within the Baxter Meadows Development includes Spring Ditch, a natural stream
that was historically"ditched"during ranch operations. The stream is located along the
east side of Phase 6 and flows north.
Improvements to Spring Ditch represents a significant portion of the wetland mitigation
efforts within the Baxter Meadows Development. Mitigation construction occurred
during the spring of 2005 and thus vegetation development is in the initial stages. The
wetland fringe along the stream reach within Phase 6 was expanded for creation credits;
approximately 10 feet of wetland fringe was added along the west side of the stream
course. A berm along the west side of the stream, which was a"waste"pile that resulted
from ditching the stream during historic rands-4.practices, was removed and the banks were
revegetated with grass seed, aspen, chokecherry and willows.
South of Phase 6 and north of Baxter Lane, both sides of the.stream corridor have been
enhanced by removing the adjacent soil berm, and willows have been planted within the
wetland fringe. North of Phase 6,the wetland fringe along the stream has been expanded
and a large quarter-acre area just south of Cattail Lane and west of the stream has been
converted from upland to an emergent, scrub-shrub wetland. East of Phase 6 and
adjacent to the stream a 0.6 acre upland was also converted to wetland.
Avian species noted within the Phase 6 stream corridor include Short-earred Owls,
mallard and American Robins. Though the owl sightings were a rarity,the avian use of
the stream corridor should be much higher, but given the lack of shrubs and trees along
the stream prior to mitigation efforts, avian use in general is quite low. Vegetation
enhancement of the stream banks and expansion of the wetland fringe will increase the
use of the stream corridor by raptor and migratory song birds.
Though typically we do not encourage the placement of trails though a wetland area, the
public use of wetlands recreationally(adjacent trails), educationally(plant and wildlife
identification), and for consumptive use (fishing) increases the Recreation/Educational

Potential functional value of a wetland(Berglund, J. 1999. MDT Montana Wetland
• Assessment Method).
Over time,the wetland areas will require shrub and tree replacement and hi- to tri-yearly
weed control measures. Trails will also require maintenance and anti-vandalism
measures in the event any aspect of the wetland and trail systems are damaged by humans
or animals.
If you have any questions regarding the functional value issues of the wetlands within
Phase 6 or adjacent to Phase 6, please don't hesitate to call (580-6993).

RE: Baxter Meadows Mitigation Progress: Baxter-Border Ditch Mitigation
Dear Allan,
We have begun monitoring of a portion of the Baxter Meadows Individual Permit, ID
#2002-90-091 mitigation wetlands. Jean Ramer is the project manager, however, in her
absence I am forwarding this letter and mitigation information to you for review. The
following wetland impact and mitigation proposal specific to the Baxter-Border Ditch
was processed as an addendum to the IP (Amendment 2: July 25, 2003).
{ • The Baxter-Border Ditch was filled during the early spring of 2004 to accommodate the
widening of Baxter Lane at the future Ferguson Avenue intersection. At.the same time,
the stream was moved to the north side of Baxter Lane as close to its historic location as
was feasible. Meanders, pools and riffles were incorporated into the restored stream
reach. The saturation zone was seeded with a wetland seed mix and the upland banks
with an upland seed mix. Willows were sprigged in groups along the entire length of the
stream (Bebb's, sand bar and yellow). Containerized aspen, choke cherry and red-osier
dogwood were also planted. During this first year of monitoring (same year construction)
our goal was to monitor the general progress of the mitigation effort by observing
vegetation cover and viability (wetland and upland); weed presence; and bank stability.
The saturation zone adjacent to the stream is currently 100% vegetated though wetland
species within the seed mix have not matured to dominance; wetland vegetation cover is
currently approximately 40%. The soils were not examined. Point bars and banks are
saturated and willow sprigs are thriving with some new growth over 5 feet tall. All
containerized species appear to be thriving however it is expected that there will be some
mortality. Upland floodplain bank vegetation coverage is less than 100% and will likely
need to be reseeded this fall or early next spring. Weed coverage is approximately 10%
with low incidence of noxious species occurrence. The banks at the ordinary high water
mark are stabilized with coconut fabric and the entire length of the bank is stable.
-EXHIBIT G-
l . I have enclosed a photo page with four photos of the restored stream. We will establish
two vegetation transects adjacent to two of these photos in 2005. We will continue to
monitor the stream until 2006. At that time, or before if appropriate, we will delineate
and survey the wetland boundary and check our goal of 0.16 acre stream restoration
credit.
Thank you for your reviewing this mitigation effort and please call me at 586-1411 if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,
Lynn Bacon

MEMORANDUM
Date: 7/27/06
Re: Pedestrian Walkways at Baxter Meadows
This memo is to serve as explanation of the maintenance of the Public Pedestrian
Walkways (PPW's) in Baxter Meadows Phase 6. These walkways are located at the
north and south corners of the pocket park, in Block 16. As noted in our conditions of
approval, the PPW's are approximately 12' wide, with a sidewalk in the middle, leaving
about 3' on either side to be maintained by the HOA. There is a concern that such a
narrow strip could not be adequately maintained. However, there is an additional 5'
sideyard setback to the houses on the west, and a 10' front yard setback to the houses on
the east. Therefore, there is actually 8' on one side, and 13' on the other to maintain.
Additionally, the covenants for this particular block set up the maintenance such that the
front and side yards are irrigated and maintained by the HOA. Therefore, there will be a
true continuity between the maintenance of the yards, and the PPW's, making those cut-
throughs effectively much wider than they appear on the plat. This is similar to the setup
• in Phase I, and we have had no trouble maintaining those walkways.

Pre-Construction meeting on site with the City of Bozeman Parks Department.
* Soil Preparation -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 10 inches. All rock in excess of 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 ten inches. The sub base, after grading, will be
scarified 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 ratio 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.
* Seeding ratios and mixes will be approved by the City of Bozeman Parks Division. Seeding
will be applied with a slit-type or drill-type seeder to insure good soil to seed contact. Before
seeding, the soil shall be loosened to a minimum depth of six inches in order to improve initial .
root development. The soil will not be compacted 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. Generally, a seed mix combination of
Bluegrasses and Rye are used in formally maintained Parks. Some low maintenance Kentucky
bluegrasses that perform well are: Kenblue, Park, Plush, Vantage, Victa, Vanessa, Barblue,
Parade and S-21. Perennial ryegrass will be used opposed to annual ryegrass. Athletic fields will
be planted with new-improved Kentucky bluegrass types and new cultivars of perennial rye.
Examples of some of the new, aggressive types of KBG's are as follows: Award, Total Eclipse,
Midnight,Nustar, Ram I, Limousine and Touchdown. Lower maintenance parkland may require
different seed mixes, and will be specified by the Parks Division.
* Irrigation systems will be compatible with Maxicom systems. All water lines shall be
schedule 40 PVC. Black Poly pipe is unacceptable. Pipe shall be installed at a minimum depth of
twelve (12) inches, main lines at eighteen inch minimum depth. If this depth is unachievable, the
Parks Division must be consulted. 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, and shall be capable of
producing the specified gpm and coverage area and shall be set to manufacturers' specifications.
Electrical locate tape shall be installed along all lines. Upon completion of installation, all
warranty and maintenance information, 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.
* Wells installed on City of Bozeman property must be registered in the City's name. All wells
must have a stainless steel screen at the intake.
* Playgrounds must be installed on Park land managed by the City of Bozeman. All
playgrounds must be approved by a Certified Playground Safety Inspector(CPSI) and meet
ASTM F1487-01, CPSC and ADA guidelines and specifications. Playgrounds shall be age
appropriate, for area served, and be signed accordingly. There must 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 manufacturer's name must be supplied to
the 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.
* Fencing shall be constructed with 9 gauge, commercial grade, chain link fabric. All posts and
top rails shall be schedule 80 galvanized pipe. Corner post will be 2 and 3/8 ", line post will be 1
• 7/8", top and bottom rails will be 1 1/4". All post are to be set in concrete, spaced at 10 foot
intervals, and a concrete pad, 12" in width and 4" in depth shall be installed beneath the fence
line, along the entire length. A bottom rail will be installed between all sections of fence for the
purpose of tying the fabric down as well as maintaining the strength and integrity of the fabric.
Appropriate heights of fences shall be determined by the City of Bozeman Parks Division.
* Trail Classifications
Class IA—These trails are heavily used with full access and are designed for recreational and
commuter use along major transportation corridors. These trails are designed to permit two-way
traffic using an impervious surface material such as asphalt or concrete. These trails are 12 feet
wide. There is full *ADA accessibility.
Class IB—These trails are the same as Class IA trails with the exception of being 10 feet wide.
These trails are typically used in interior sub-division settings where Class I trails are appropriate
but do not require a full 12 foot width.
Class IIA—These trails receive heavy to moderate use with a very high degree of ADA
accessibility. They are intended for multiple non-motorized, recreational and commuter use.
Class 1I trails are constructed of Natural Fines and are 6 feet in width.
Class IIB—These trails receive moderate use and provide moderate ADA accessibility
depending on grades and/or obstacles. Construction standard is the same as Class IIA.
Class III—These trails receive moderate to low use and are typically 3 feet in width. They are
either natural trails, developed by use, or constructed with Natural Fines. ADA accessibility is
extremely limited.
Class IVA—These trails are generally mowed corridors used for ski trails in winter, or
•
occasional special activities, and are 16 feet in width.
• Class IVB—These trails are the same as Class IVA trails with the exception that they are 10 feet
in width.
Class V—These trails are used for equestrian traffic and when constructed parallel to pedestrian
trails, are built with a sufficient buffer and physical barrier between them to prevent
horse/pedestrian conflicts.
* Class I Trails must support a minimum of 12,500 pounds.Asphalt- Width of trail shall be a
minimum of 10 feet with a min. cross slope of 2% or max. 5% and a 1 foot wide gravel border
along each edge. Trail bed shall be excavated to a minimum depth of 11.5 inches. A soil
sterilant, approved by the City of Bozeman Parks Division, shall be applied to trail bed prior to
construction. Trail bed shall consist of a minimum of 9 inches of crushed gravel compacted to
95% of max. density as determined by AASHTO T99, unless otherwise dictated by sub-soil type
materials being compacted to road standard. The overlay shall consist of 2.5 inches of asphalt
compacted to 93%of max. density, as determined by ASTMD 2041. Construction seal shall be
applied at .08 gallon/square yard after installation. Concrete—Width of trail trails shall be a
minimum of 10 feet with a min. cross slope of 2% or max. 5%. Trail base shall consist of a
minimum of 3 inches of crushed gravel compacted to 95% of max. density as determined by
AASHTO T99. Concrete shall be a minimum of 6 inches of M4000 reinforced with 1.5 lbs. per
cu. yd. of Fiber mesh. Where terrain allows, slope of trail should not exceed 12:1.
* Class II Trails shall be a minimum of 72 inches in width. Trail bed must be excavated 6
inches deep,prior to installation of tread mix. Tread mix shall be installed in two parts. The first
3 inch lift shall be of/4" Road mix, compacted, and then 3/8th inch minus gravel (natural fines).
• Natural fines used for these trails shall consist of 80% sand, 10% silt and 10%clay. If the
material falls outside of these parameters, the City Of Bozeman Parks Divisions must be
consulted for approval or modification. If the natural fines tread mix does not contain enough
clay or silt binder, additional binder must be mixed in. Alternative soil stabilizer products are
acceptable, but must be approved by the City of Bozeman Parks Division. Trail bed must be
filled up to original surface along both edges with a cross slope of no less than 2% and no more
than 5% to provide for water drainage. Tread mix must be rolled flat and compacted after
installation, maintaining a 2%to 5% cross slope. (If moisture content is not adequate for
compaction, water should be added prior to rolling and compacting). Where terrain allows, slope
of trail should not exceed 12:1 with a cross slope no greater than 20:1 (5%)to provide for ADA
accessibility. All damage to surrounding features and/or vegetation shall be reclaimed
immediately. Encroaching weeds, due to trail construction, shall be treated and controlled for a
minimum of 2 years after trail section is completed. Minimum overhead clearance shall be 96"
for pedestrian and bike traffic, and 120" for equestrian traffic.
*Street/Trail Connections -Mid block trail crossing shall have a painted pedestrian
crossing with crossing and advanced crossing signs at either end. Curb cuts shall be provided at

If deck is more than 30 inches high, a protective rail is required. Rails are to be 42 inches high,
with at least one midrail at 34 inches, to be used as a handrail. A protective barrier must be
installed along the length of the rail system with either solid paneling or vertical bars. Spacing
between bars shall be no greater than 3.5 inches or less than 9 inches. All bridges to be installed
on public lands must be certified by a civil or structural engineer. If bridge does not require a
rail, it must have a 4 inch high curb on, both sides, along entire length of bridge. Deck should be
constructed of slip-resistant material. Deck of bridge shall not exceed a 12:1 slope along any part
of its length. Deck, and ends of bridge, must have no abrupt change in surface level greater than
inch. cross slope shall not exceed 2%. Bridges must be rated for a minimum load of 12,500
lbs. and display a permanent label indicating the load limit, year it was built and manufacturer.

open space maintenance within the identified subdivision, following the standards set
by the City Parks Division.
Maintenance
Maintenance Responsibility:
Developer will be responsible for initial installation of the improvements described in
this Master Plan. The Developer shall warrant against defects in these improvements
for a period of one year from the date of their written acceptance by the City of
Bozeman. The Developer shall maintain the improvement until no longer majority
landowner. At such time, the maintenance shall be the responsibility of the Home
Owners Association. The Home Owners Association shall be responsible for
maintenance in perpetuity, or until such time as a park maintenance district, or some
other mechanism, is created to maintain dedicated park land.
Maintenance will include the following as well as care and replacement of
playground equipment (CPSI approved) and/or site furnishings, replacement of
doggie pick-up bags, and emptying of refuse containers. Any and all work and/or
park fixtures must meet standards set by the City Parks Division.
• Trees/Shrubs
An outside 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 the Forestry Division. All trees on public property are
subject to City of Bozeman permits and ordinances. 12.30.040
Trails
Gravel 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 trail 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.
Weed Control Plan
A weed control plan will be developed that conforms to the requirements of the City
of Bozeman, Gallatin County Weed Control Board Supervisor and NRCS. Weeds
will be sprayed by a licensed outside 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 any and all applications of pesticides and / or
• herbicides on public lands. Signs shall be posted prior to application in appropriate and
• noticeable locations identifying the product applied and the date to be applied. Signs will
remain in place for a minimum of 2 days after treatment. Records shall be maintained in
accordance with State of Montana Pesticide Act, Administrative Rule 4.10.207 and
copies submitted to the City of Bozeman Parks Division.
Lawn and Grasses
Lawns will be mowed weekly or as needed to maintain a blade height of 2-3" during
the warmer months of the year and not reach a height more than 4 1/2 ". Mowing will
not be done during extremely wet periods or when sub-grade is saturated or with
standing water. Lawns will be irrigated with 12" of water from early June to late
September, at approximately 1" per week. Established lawns can receive a deep, but
less frequent watering in order to conserve and not over water.
Fertilizing and Plant Care
Lawns will be fertilized with a mixture of 24-4-14 in spring after the last frost and
with 21-3-21 in mid to late summer. Fertilizer mixture shall be adjusted according to
soil sample analysis performed annually. It is recommended that slow release
fertilizer be used to prevent excessive shoot growth and to provide turf nutrition over
an extended period of time. Lawns should be fertilized according to manufacturer
standards. No fertilizer will be applied in ditches or directly adjacent to water courses.
Trees will be fertilized once a season using fertilizer spikes directly manufactured for
tree use. Trees under one year old should not be fertilized.
• Irrigation
Irrigation contractor will perform spring maintenance and fall blowout. Spring
maintenance will include charging the irrigation, closing manual drain valves,
checking controller and all hardware (including valves, heads, wiring, etc.), and
checking drip emitters. During the watering season, all heads should be checked on a
regular basis for correct operation and efficiency. Fall blowout will consist of a basic
winterization package, including opening all manual drain valves, using a compressor
to clear lines, and checking general condition of all hardware. All necessary repairs
will be made throughout the irrigation season.

LINEAR PARK DRAWINGS
The Linear Park is a 7.4 acre park, comprised of three phases — 2A, 2C, and 6.
Phases 2A and 2C have final plat, and we are ready to build those portions of the park.
We would propose to build the Phase 6 portion of the Linear Park along with the other
phases, in order to expedite development of the Baxter Meadows parks and trails system.
We include the Linear Park construction plans here for your review.

Bozeman, MT 59771-1230
Attn: Deanna Shannon B Y'--------------------
Dear Deanna:
As you are probably aware,NorthWestern Energy has been asked by the developers of Baxter
Meadows Subdivision to work with the City of Bozeman to create a Special Improvement
Lighting.District (SILD) for Baxter Meadows,Phases 3A&B and Phase 6 for the purpose of
installing streetlights.
Enclosed,please find the information on the type and number of poles and fixtures,'.a-lighting
layout''as well as preliminary costs. This layout Balls for a total of thirty one (31) lights; twenty:
seven(27) streetlights in Phases 3A&B and four(4) streetlights in Phase 6. The three lights
along• Baxter Lane in Phase 3A will be 175 watt Metal Halide fixtures mounted on 20'!poles, the.remainder of the lights will include fourteen 70 watt Metal-Halide fixtures mounted on 17:5.'
poles and fourteen 100 watt Metal Halide fixtures mounted on.17.5' poles.
At this time, the approximate cost to the City is $39.07 per light per month for the fourteen 70
watt lights, $40.00 per light per month for the fourteen 100 watt lights and $42.55 per light per
month for-the three 175 watt lights. These costs include installation, energy and maintenance as
per our PSC Tariff. The cost per month may change from these preliminary figures pending any
manufacturer price increase or increase in our PSC Electric Tariff. These costs do not include
the costs associated with installing the concrete bases, as those costs will be the responsibility of
the developer. I have not included our Street Lighting Agreement for signature at this time
pending final SILD approval. When the SILD is created,please let me know and I'll send a
contract over for the City Manager's signature. If the City needs any additional information
from NorthWestern Energy at this time,please let me know at your earliest convenience. I'll
also send copies of this information to those listed below. If you have any questions,please give
me a call at 582-4637. I'll be glad to help in any way that I can.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

OF
BAXTER MEADOWS CENTRAL
(A PLANNED COMMUNITY)
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO DECLARATION OF BAXTER MEADOWS
CENTRAL is made this day of , 2006,by Baxter Meadows
Development LP, a Montana limited partnership ("Declarant").
Pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Declaration of Baxter Meadows Central, recorded as
Document No. 2202827, on September 22, 2005, Declarant hereby amends the Declaration to
correct the following non-material errors found in the Declaration:
1)The opening paragraph of the Declaration misstates the name of the Declarant as
"Baxter Meadows West, LLC,a Montana limited liability company."
The opening paragraph of the Declaration is amended to read as follows:
"This Declaration is made on the date hereinafter set forth by Baxter Meadows
Development,L.P. a Montana Limited Partnership(Declarant)."
2) Section 1.4 of the Declaration omits a definition of"the Act,"though"the Act" is
referred to throughout the Declaration.
Section 1.4 is amended to include as subparagraph(a)the following definition of"the
Act":
"(a) "the Act" means the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act,§ 76-3-101,et seq.
M.C.A. "
Section 1.4 is further amended to re-letter the remaining definitions as subparagraphs (b)
through (z).
3) Section 4.1 states that the Declarant may create additional lots up to a total of 220 and
that Declarant may create additional lots up to a total of 250. These numbers are in.obvious
conflict.
To correct this conflict, the second sentence of Section 4.1 is amended as follows:
"Declarant has the reserved right to create and add additional lots up to a total of
250, or such larger number as allowed on the Real Estate by local government,whichever is
greater."
4)Exhibit A to the Declaration states that the Property consists of Phases 2C, 2D,and
2G. At the time the Declaration was recorded it was believed the property north of Phase 2C
would be platted as Phase 2G and extend to Cattail Lane. However, during the application
process,the Phases were further divided to include Phase 6 and other Phases which may be
created in the future.
• HA96037\003\KNH0457.WPD

• Therefore, the first paragraph of Exhibit A is amended as follows:
"All of those lands situated west of the centerline of Gallatin Green Boulevard in the

Covenant For Common Expense Assessments
Section 5.1 Creation of Association Lien and Personal Obligation to Pay Common
Expense Assessments. Declarant, for each Unit, shall be deemed to covenant and agree, and each
Unit Owner, by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such
deed or other conveyance, shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association annual
Common Expense Assessments, insurance Assessments (assessed in proportion to risk);
utility Assessments (assessed in proportion to usage), and such other Assessments as imposed by
the Association. Such Assessments, including fees, charges, late charges, attorney fees, fines
and interest charged by the Association shall be the personal obligation of the Unit Owner of
such Unit at the time when the Assessment or other charges became or fell due. The Association
annual Common Expense Assessments and such other Assessments as imposed by the
Association, including fees, charges, late charges, attorney fees, fines and interest charged by the
Association, shall be a charge on each Unit and shall be a continuing lien upon the Unit against
which each such Assessment or charge is made. If any Assessment is payable in installments,
the full amount of the Assessment is a lien from the time the first installment becomes due. The
personal obligation to pay any past due sums due the Association shall not pass to a successor in
title unless expressly assumed by them. No Unit Owner may become exempt from liability for
payment of Assessments by waiver of the use or enjoyment of the Common Elements or by
abandonment of the Unit against which Assessments are made. All Assessments shall be
payable in the amounts specified in the levy thereof, and no offsets or reduction thereof shall be
permitted by any reason including, without limitation, any claim that the Association or the i•
Executive Board is not properly exercising its duties and powers under this Declaration.
Section 5.2 Apportionment of Common Expenses. Except as provided in this
Declaration, all Common Expense Assessments shall be assessed against all Units in accordance
with formulas for liability for the Common Expenses as set forth in this Declaration.
Section 5.3 Annual Assessment/Commencement of Common Expense Assessments.
The Common Expense Assessment may be made on an annual basis against all Units and shall
be based upon the Association's advance budget of the cash requirements needed by it to provide
for the administration and performance of its duties during such Assessment year. The budget
may be submitted to the Unit Owners for ratification pursuant to the Bylaws, as the Bylaws may
be amended from time to time. If submitted, the budget may be vetoed by votes of Owners
representing a majority of the votes in the Association. Common Expense Assessments shall be
due and payable in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments, or in any other manner, as
determined by the Executive Board. Common Expense Assessments shall be prorated from the
date of closing in which conveyance of the first Unit to a Unit Owner other than the Declarant
occurs. The omission or failure of the Executive Board to levy the Assessment for any period
shall not be deemed a waiver, modification or a release of the Unit Owners from their obligation
to pay.
Section 5.4 Special Assessments. In addition to other authorized Assessments, the
Association may levy Special Assessments from time to time to cover previously unbudgeted •
expenses or expenses in excess of those budgeted, including, without limitation, the costs of any
Page 13 of 43 Central Condos Declarations,FINAL.wpd
construction, restoration, or unbudgeted repairs or replacements of capital improvements that
• 1 are not covered b the general reserve fund. Except as provided for in this Section no Special
Y g P p p
Assessment proposed by the Association shall be levied until a budget including such Special
Assessment is submitted to the Unit Owners for ratification pursuant to the Bylaws, as the
Bylaws may be amended from time to time. The budget may be vetoed by votes of Owners
representing a majority of the votes in the Association. During the Period of Declarant Control,
any proposed Special Assessment shall also require Declarant's consent. Special Assessments
may be payable in installments extending beyond the fiscal year in which the Special
Assessment is approved. The Board shall have the right to require that Special Assessments be
paid in advance of the provision of the subject services or materials.
Section 5.5 Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments. Any Assessment, charge or fee
provided for in this Declaration, or any monthly or other installment thereof, which is not fully
paid within 10 days after the due date thereof, as established by the Executive Board, shall bear
interest at the rate established by the Executive Board, on a per annum basis from the due date, and
the Association may assess a reasonable late charge thereon as determined by the Executive Board.
Failure to make payment within 60 days of the due date thereof shall cause the total amount of such
Unit Owner's Common Expense Assessment for the remainder of that fiscal year to become
immediately due and payable at the option of the Board. The Board may, in its discretion,
unilaterally reverse its prior action under this Section, thereby returning to the original payment
schedule, at which point, the Member's annual Assessment for that fiscal year shall no longer be
immediately due and payable. Further, the Association may bring an action at law or in equity, or
• ' both, against any Unit Owner personally obligated to pay such overdue Assessments, charges or
fees, or monthly or other installments thereof, and may also proceed to foreclose its lien against
such Unit Owner's Unit. An action at law or in equity by the Association against a Unit Owner to
recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments, charges or fees, or monthly or other
installments thereof, may be commenced and pursued by the Association without.foreclosing, or
in any way waiving, the Association's lien therefor. Foreclosure or attempted foreclosure by the
Association of its lien shall not be deemed to estop or otherwise preclude the Association from
thereafter again foreclosing or attempting to foreclose its lien for any subsequent Assessment,
charges or fees, or monthly or other installments thereof, which are not fully paid when due. The
Association shall have the power and right to bid on or purchase any Unit at foreclosure or other
legal sale, and to acquire and hold, lease, mortgage, vote the Association votes appurtenant to
ownership thereof, convey or otherwise deal with the same. If a foreclosure action is filed to
foreclose any Assessment lien, and a Unit Owner abandons or leaves vacant his or her Unit, the
Board may take possession and rent said Unit or apply for the appointment of a receiver for the
Unit without prior notice to the Unit Owner. The rights of the Association shall be expressly
subordinate to the rights of any holder of a first lien security interest as set forth in its deed of trust
or mortgage (including any assignment of rents), to the extent permitted under the Act.
Section 5.6 Assignment of Rents. If a Unit is rented by its Owner, the rent is hereby
pledged and assigned to the Association as security for the payment of all Assessments due by that
Owner to the Association. If the Assessments owed by the Owner of a rented Unit are more than
30 days delinquent, the Board may collect, and the occupant or lessee shall pay to the Board, the
• rent for any Unit owned by the delinquent Owner, or that portion of the rent equal to the amount
due to the Association; provided, however, the lessee need not make such payments to the
Page 14 of 43 Central Condos Declarations,FINAL.wpd
• •
Association in excess of or prior to the due date for monthly rental payments unpaid at the time of •
the Board's request. The Association shall send notice to the Owner by any reasonable means at
least 10 days prior to initiating the collection of rent from the Owner's occupant or lessee. The
occupant and/or lessee shall not have the right to question the Board's demand for payment.
Payment by the occupant or lessee to the Association will satisfy and discharge the occupant or
lessee's duty of payment to the Owner for rent,to the extent of the amount paid to the Association.
No demand or acceptance of rent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent or approval
of the Unit rental or a waiver of the Owner's obligations as provided in the Declaration. The Board
shall not exercise this power where a receiver has been appointed with respect to a Unit or Owner;
nor in derogation of the exercise of any rights to rents by a holder of a first lien security interest
of a Unit. If an occupant or lessee fails or refuses to pay rent to the Association as provided for in
this Section, the Association shall have the right to bring an action for unlawful detainer for non-
payment of rent under Montana statutes, and the costs and attorney's fees incurred by the
Association in connection with that action shall be collectable from the occupant or lessee in that
action, and from the Owner of the Unit in the same manner as any other Assessment under this
Declaration.
Section 5.7 Lien Priority. The lien of the Association under this Section is prior to all
other liens and encumbrances on a Unit except: (1) liens and encumbrances recorded before the
recordation of the Declaration; (2) a first lien security interest on the Unit(if allowed by the Act
with regard to the limited lien priority allowed to the Association);and(3)liens for real estate taxes
and other governmental assessments or charges against the Unit. This Section does not affect the
priority of mechanics' or materialmen's liens. The lien of the Association under this Article is not 1 •
subject to the provision of any homestead exemption as allowed under state or federal law. Sale or
transfer of any Unit shall not affect the lien for said Assessments or charges except that sale or
transfer of any Unit pursuant to foreclosure of any first lien security interest, or any proceeding in
lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure,or cancellation or forfeiture shall only extinguish
the lien of Assessment charges as provided by applicable state law. No such sale, transfer,
foreclosure,or any proceeding in lieu thereof,including deed in lieu of foreclosure,nor cancellation
or forfeiture shall relieve any Unit from continuing liability for any Assessment charges thereafter
becoming due, nor from the lien thereof..
Section 5.8 Workiniz Fund. The Association or Declarant shall require every Unit Owner
of a Unit(other than Declarant)to make a non-refundable payment to the Association in an amount
equal to one-fourth (1/4) of the annual Common Expense Assessment against that Unit in effect at
the closing thereof,which sum shall be held,without interest,by the Association as a working fund.
Said working fund shall be collected and transferred to the Association at the time of closing and
shall be for the use and benefit of the Association, of the initial sale by Declarant of each Unit, as
aforesaid, and shall be for the use and benefit of the Association. Such payment shall not relieve
a Unit Owner from making regular payments of Assessments as the same become due.
Section 5.9 Owner's Neglignece or Misconduct. In the event that the need for
maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Common Elements, or any portion thereof, is caused
through or by the negligent or willful act or omission or misconduct of an Owner, or the Owner's
agents, employees, guests, customers,or invitees, including,but not limited to, damage from water •
overflowing from a tub, hot water heater leaks, or water damage from a washing machine,
Page 15 of 43 Central Condos Declarations,FINAL.wpd
•` dishwasher or hose, then the expenses, costs, and fees incurred by the Association for such
maintenance,repair, or replacement shall be a personal obligation of such Owner. If such expenses,
costs,and fees incurred by the Association are not repaid to the Association within seven days after
the Association shall have given notice to the Owner of such expenses, costs, and fees, then the
failure to so repay shall be a default by the Owner under the provisions of this Declaration. Such
expenses, costs, and fees shall automatically become a default Assessment determined and levied
against such Unit, and the Association may proceed in accordance with the applicable provisions
of Article 5 hereof.
Section 5.10 Assignment of Assessments. The Association shall have the power to assign
its right to future income, including the right to assign its right to receive Common Expense
Assessments, but only upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Unit Owners present and
voting, in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for that purpose.
ARTICLE 6.
Covenants and Restrictions on Use, Alienation and Occupancy

subject to the following restrictions and covenants. The strict application of the following
limitations and restrictions in any specific case may be modified or waived, in whole or in part, by
the Executive Board or by an appropriate committee (subject to review by the Executive Board) if
such strict application would be unreasonable or unduly harsh under the circumstances. Any such
• modification or waiver must be in writing or must be contained in written guidelines or rules. The
following use restrictions are also subject to the Development Rights and Special Declarant Rights
reserved by the Declarant.

and shall provide that the lease or rental agreement is subject to, and that the tenant agrees to, the
terms of this Declaration,the Bylaws of the Association,the Articles of Incorporation and the Rules
and Regulations of the Association. All leases and rental agreements of Units shall state that the
failure of the tenant, renter or guest to comply with the terms of the Declaration or Bylaws of the
Association, Articles of Incorporation or the Rules and Regulations of the Association shall
constitute a default of the lease or rental agreement and of this Declaration and such default shall
be enforceable by either the Association or the landlord,or by both of them. All occupants of a Unit
shall be subject to the right of the Association to remove and/or evict the occupant for failure of the
occupant to comply with the terms of the Declaration, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation or the
Rules and Regulations of the Association. If the Association requests that the Owner evict the
Owner's tenant based on the terms of this Declaration,and the Owner fails to commence such action
• within 30 days of the date of the Association's request and notice, the Association may commence
eviction proceedings. Upon failure by the Owner to comply with the Association's request to evict,
the Owner has delegated and assigned to the Association, acting through the Board, the power and
Page 16 of 43 Central Condos Declarations,FINAL.wpd
1 authority to evict the lessee as attorney-in-fact on behalf of and for the benefit of the Owner. If the
Association evicts the lessee, any costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees
actually incurred and court costs associated with the eviction shall be an Assessment and lien
against the Unit. Except as restricted in this Declaration, and such Rules and Regulations as the
Association may promulgate,the right to lease or allow occupancy of a Unit shall not be restricted.

(d) All remedies set forth in the Governing Documents shall be cumulative of any
remedies available at law or in equity. In any action to enforce the Governing Documents,
• the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs, including, without limitation,
attorney fees and court costs, reasonably incurred in such action.
(e) The decision of the Association to pursue enforcement action in any particular case
shall be left to the Board's discretion, subject to the duty to exercise judgment and be
reasonable,as provided for in this Declaration,and further restricted in that the Board shall
not be arbitrary or capricious in taking enforcement action. A decision of the Association
to pursue enforcement action shall not be construed as a waiver of the Association's right to
enforce such provisions at a later time under other circumstances or preclude the Association
from enforcing any other covenant,restriction or rule. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Board may determine that, under the circumstances of a particular case:
(i) the Association's legal position is not strong enough to justify taking any or
further action;
(ii) the covenant,restriction or rule being enforced is,or is likely to be construed
as, inconsistent with applicable law; or
(iii) that it is not in the Association's best interests,based upon hardship, expense
or other reasonable criteria, to pursue enforcement action.

such other Assessments as imposed by the Association. Such Assessments, including fees,
charges, late charges, attorney fees, fines and interest charged by the Association shall be

charges became or fell due. The Association annual Common Expense Assessments and
such other Assessments as imposed by the Association, including fees, charges, late
charges, attorney fees, fines and interest charged by the Association, shall be a charge on
each Lot and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each such Assessment
or charge is made. If any Assessment is payable in installments, the full amount of the
Assessment is a lien from the time the first installment becomes due. The personal
obligation to pay any past due sums owed to the Association shall not pass to a successor in
title.unless expressly assumed by them. No Owner may become exempt from liability for
payment of the Common Expense Assessments by waiver of the use or enjoyment of the
Common Elements or by abandonment of the Lot against which the Common Expense
Assessments are made. All Assessments shall be payable in the amounts specified in the
levy thereof, and no offsets or reduction thereof shall be permitted by any reason including,
without limitation, any claim that the Association or the Executive Board is not properly
exercising its duties and powers under this Declaration. Except as provided in this
Declaration, all Common Expense Assessments shall be assessed against all Lots equally.
Section 6.2 Basis of Assessments. The Common Expense Assessment may be
made on an annual basis against all Lots and shall be based upon the Association's advance
budget of the cash requirements needed by it to provide for the administration and
performance of its duties during such Assessment year.
Section 6.3 Annual Assessment. The budget for annual Assessments may be
submitted to the Lot Owners for ratification and as set forth in the Bylaws, as the Bylaws
may be amended from time to time. If submitted, the budget may be vetoed by votes of
Owners representing a majority of the total Association vote. Assessments for Common
Expenses shall be due and payable in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments, or in any
other manner, as determined by the Executive Board. The omission or failure of the
Executive Board to levy the Assessment for any period shall not be deemed a waiver,
modification or a release of the Lot Owners from their obligation to pay.
Section 6.4 Special Assessments. In addition to other authorized Assessments,
the Association may levy Special Assessments from time to time to cover previously
unbudgeted expenses or expenses in excess of those budgeted, including, without
limitation, the costs of any construction, restoration, or unbudgeted repairs or replacements

the Bylaws, as the Bylaws may be amended from time to time. The proposed Special
Assessment may be vetoed by a majority of the total Association vote. A proposed
Special Assessment will be ratified unless Owners representing more than a majority of the
votes allocated to the Lots that will be subject to the special Assessment vote, either in
person or by proxy, to reject the Special Assessment at a meeting called for such purpose.

which the Special Assessment is approved. The Board shall have the right to require that
Special Assessments be paid in advance of the provision of the subject services or
materials.

each Lot upon conveyance of Property to first Owner. on the first day of the month
following the later of. (a) the month in which the Lot is made subject to this Declaration or
(b) the month in which the Association first establishes and ratifies a budget and levies
Assessments pursuant to this Declaration. The first annual Common Expense Assessment
levied on each Lot, whether levied at partial or full rate as provided in this Declaration,
shall be prorated according to the number of months remaining in the fiscal,year at the time
Assessments commence on the Lot. The omission or failure of the Executive Board to levy
the Assessment for any period shall not be deemed a waiver, modification or a release of
the Owners from their obligation to pay.
Section 6.6 Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments. Any Assessment, charge or
fee provided for in this Declaration, or any monthly or other installment thereof, which is
not fully paid within 10 days after the due date thereof, as established by the Executive
Board, shall bear interest at the rate established by the Executive Board, on a per annum
basis from the due date, and the Association may assess a reasonable late charge thereon as
determined by the Executive Board. Failure to make payment within 10 days of the due
date thereof shall cause the total amount of such Owner's Common Expense Assessment
for the remainder of that fiscal year to become immediately due and payable at the option
of the Board. Further, the Association may bring an action at law or in equity, or both,
against any Owner personally obligated to pay such overdue Assessments, charges or fees,
or monthly or other installments thereof,and may also proceed to foreclose its lien against
such Owner's Lot. An action at law or in equity by the Association against an Owner to
recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments, charges or fees, or monthly or other
installments thereof, may be commenced and pursued by the Association without
foreclosing, or in any way waiving,the Association's lien therefor. Foreclosure or
attempted foreclosure by the Association of its lien shall not be deemed to estop or
otherwise preclude the Association from thereafter again foreclosing or attempting to
foreclose its lien for any subsequent Assessment, charges or fees, or monthly or other
installments thereof, which are not fully paid when due. The Association shall have the
power and right to bid on or purchase any Lot at foreclosure or other legal sale, and to
acquire and hold, lease, mortgage, vote the Association votes appurtenant to ownership
thereof, convey or otherwise deal with the same. If a foreclosure action is filed to foreclose
any Assessment lien, and an Owner abandons or leaves vacant his or her Lot, the Board
Page 14 of 42 Central POA Declaration,FINAL.wpd
s �
may take possession and rent said Lot or apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Lot
without prior notice to the Owner. The rights of the Association shall be expressly
subordinate to the rights of any holder of a first lien security interest as set forth in its deed
of trust or mortgage (including any assignment of rents), to the extent permitted under the
Act.
Section 6.7 Assignment of Rents. If a Lot is rented by its Owner, the rent is
hereby pledged and assigned to the Association as security for the payment of all
Assessments due by that Owner to the Association. If the Assessments owed by the Owner
of a rented Lot are more than 30 days delinquent, the Board may collect, and the occupant
or lessee shall pay to the Board, the rent for any Lot owned by the delinquent Owner, or
that portion of the rent equal to the amount due to the Association; provided, however, the
lessee need not make such payments to the Association in excess of or prior to the due date
for monthly rental payments unpaid at the time of the Board's request. The Association
shall send notice to the Owner by any reasonable means at least 10 days prior to initiating
the collection of rent from the Owner's occupant or lessee. The occupant and/or lessee
shall not have the right to question the Board's demand for payment. Payment by the
occupant or lessee to the Association will satisfy and discharge the occupant or lessee's
duty of payment to the Owner for rent, to the extent of the amount paid to the Association.
No demand or acceptance of rent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent or
approval of the Lot rental or a waiver of the Owner's obligations as provided in the
Declaration. The Board shall not exercise this power where a receiver has been appointed
{ with respect to a Lot or Owner; nor in derogation of the exercise of any rights to rents by a
the holder of a first lien security interest of a Lot. If an occupant or lessee fails or refuses
to pay rent to the Association as provided for in this Section, the Association shall have the
right to bring an action for unlawful detainer for non-payment of rent under Montana
statutes, and the costs and attorney's fees incurred by the Association in connection with
that action shall be collectable from the occupant or lessee in that action, and from the
Owner of the Lot in the same manner as any other Assessment under this Declaration.
Section 6.8 Lien Priority. The lien of the Association under this Section is prior
to all other liens and encumbrances on a Lot except: (1) liens and encumbrances recorded
before the recordation of the Declaration; (2) a first lien security interest on the Lot (except
as may be allowed by the Act with regard to a limited lien priority allowed to the
Association); and (3) liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments or
charges against the Lot. This Section does not affect the priority of mechanics' or ..
materialmen's liens. The lien of the Association under this Article is not subject to the
provision of any homestead exemption as allowed under state or federal law. Sale or
transfer of any Lot shall not affect the lien for said Assessments or charges except that sale
or transfer of any Lot pursuant to foreclosure of any first lien security interest, or any
proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or
forfeiture shall only extinguish the lien of Assessment charges as provided by applicable
state law. No such sale, transfer, foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including
deed in lieu of foreclosure, nor cancellation or forfeiture shall relieve any Lot from
continuing liability for any Assessment charges thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien
thereof

Section 6.9 Working Fund. The Association shall require every Owner of a Lot
(other than Declarant) to make a non-refundable payment to the Association in an amount
equal to three months of the annual Common Expense Assessment against that Lot in
effect at the closing thereof, which sum shall be held, without interest, by the Association
as a working fund. Said working fund shall be collected and transferred to the Association
at the time of closing of the initial sale by Declarant of each Lot, as aforesaid, and shall be
for the use and benefit of the Association. Such payment shall not relieve an Owner from
making regular payments of Assessments as the same become due.
Section 6.10 Owner's Negligence or Misconduct. In the event that the need for
maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Common Elements, or any portion thereof, is
caused through or by the negligent or willful act or omission or misconduct of an Owner,
or the Owner's agents, employees, guests, customers, or invitees, then the expenses, costs,
and fees incurred by the Association for such maintenance,repair, or replacement shall be
a personal obligation of such Owner. If such expenses, costs and fees incurred by the
Association are not repaid to the Association within seven days after the Association shall
have given notice to the Owner of such expenses, costs, and fees, then the failure to so
repay shall be a default by the Owner under the provisions of this Declaration. Such
expenses, costs, and fees shall automatically become a default Assessment determined and
levied against such Lot, and the Association may proceed in accordance with the applicable
�I
provisions of this Declaration.
Section 6.11 Supplemental Assessments. The Association shall have the right to
add to any Owner's Assessment as provided in this Article the following:
(a) those amounts expended by the Association for the benefit of any individual
Lot or any occupant thereof, including but not limited to: Lot insurance;

provision of such policy, including payment of the insurance premium applicable to
the Owner's interest, or who permits or fails to prevent the happening of any event,
whether occurring before or after a loss, which under the provisions of such policy
would otherwise invalidate or suspend the entire policy, but the insurance under any
such policy, as to the interests of all other insured Owners not guilty of any such act
or omission, shall not be invalidated or suspended and shall remain in full force and
effect.
Section 10.9 Insurance Premium. Except as assessed in proportion to risk,
insurance premiums for the above provided insurance shall be a Common Expense to be

insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Association and Owners, the Association

the extent of the insurance proceeds available, whether or not the insurance damage or
injury is caused by the negligence of or breach of any agreement by these persons.
Section 10.12 Adjustments by the Association. Any loss covered by an
insurance policy described above shall be adjusted by the Association, and the insurance
proceeds for that loss shall be payable to the Association, and not to any first mortgagee.

first mortgagees as their interests may appear. The proceeds must be distributed first for
the repair or restoration of the damaged property, and the Association, Owners and first
mortgagees are not entitled to receive payment of any portion of the proceeds unless there
is a surplus of proceeds after the damaged property has been completely repaired or
restored. If the insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of repair or
reconstruction, the Association may levy a Special Assessment to cover the short fall (or
deductible) pursuant to this Declaration.
'I Page 30 of 42 Central POA Declaration,FINAL.wpd
Section 10.13 Claims. The Board may, in its discretion, choose to submit a
l claim under the Association's insurance policy. If a claim is submitted, the payment of the
deductible amount for claims which the Association is responsible for insuring shall be as
follows:
(a) The Association shall pay or absorb said deductible for any work, repairs or
reconstruction for damage incurred to Common Elements or an area for which the
Association has a maintenance responsibility, or for damage to Common Elements
or any area which the Association maintains that originates in the Common
Elements or an area that the Association maintains, or for damages to the Common
Elements or an area which the Association maintains which originates from natural
causes, unless said damage is caused by the negligent or willful act or omission of
an Owner, his family, guests, or invitees; provided, however, the Association may
levy a Special Assessment against all Owners to cover the deductible as provided in
this Declaration.
(b) The Owner shall pay or absorb said deductible for any work, repairs,
reconstruction or replacement for damage incurred to his or her Lot, to the
Common Elements, or to any area that the Association maintains, as the
Association shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be the responsibility of the
Owner.
(c) If a Lot or Party Wall is damaged, then the Owner of that Lot or the Owners
�. sharing the Party Wall shall have primary responsibility, either directly or through •�
his insurance company, for handling and paying for, any work, repairs,
reconstruction or replacement.
Section 10.14 Insurance Assessments. If the proceeds of insurance are not
sufficient to defray the costs of reconstruction and repair due to deductibles allocated to the
Association or failure of the Association to maintain coverage to defray costs of repair and
reconstruction which in the absence of insurance would be the maintenance responsibility
of the Association, the deductible or additional cost shall be a Common Expense. This
Assessment shall not be considered an Assessment as discussed in this Declaration and
shall not require any vote or ratification of the Owners. Notwithstanding the Special
Assessment procedure set forth this Declaration, the insurance Assessment shall be ratified
unless vetoed by 90% of the Members and as set forth in the Bylaws, as the Bylaws may be
amended from time to time.
Section 10.15 Association as Attorney-in-Fact. Each Owner hereby irrevocably
appoints the Association as the Owner's true and lawful attorney-in-fact for the purposes of
dealing with any improvements covered by insurance written in the name of the
Association pursuant to this Article upon their damage or destruction as provided in this
Declaration, or a complete or partial taking or condemnation as provided in this
Declaration. Acceptance by a grantee of a deed or other instrument of conveyance
conveying any portion of the Property shall constitute appointment of the Association as
the grantee's attorney-in-fact, and the Association shall have full authorization, right, and
Page 31 of 42 Central POA Declaration,FINAL.wpd
power to make, execute, and deliver any contract, assignment, deed, waiver, or other
instrument with respect to the interest of any Owner which may be necessary to exercise
the powers granted to the Association as attorney-in-fact. Furthermore, if so requested, an
Owner shall execute a separate instrument specifically setting forth this appointment.
ARTICLE 11.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.1 Compliance and Enforcement.
(a) Every Owner and occupant of a Lot shall comply with the Governing
Documents, and each Owner shall have the right to enforce the covenants and
restrictions, as set forth in this Declaration.
(b) The Association, acting through the Board, may enforce all applicable
provisions of this Declaration, and may impose sanctions for violation of the
Governing Documents. Such sanctions may include, without limitation:
(i) imposing reasonable monetary fines,after notice and opportunity for
a hearing, which fine shall constitute a lien upon the violator's Lot. (In the
event that any occupant, guest, or invitee of a Lot violates the Governing
Documents and a fine is imposed, at the Board's discretion, the fine may
first be assessed against the violator; provided, however, if the fine is
I�~ assessed against the violator and is not paid by the violator within the time
period set by the Board, the Owner shall pay the fine upon notice from the
Board and the opportunity for a hearing have been provided);
(ii) suspending the right to vote;
(iii) exercising self-help (including,but not limited to,performing such
maintenance responsibilities which are the Owner's responsibility under this
Declaration and assessing all costs incurred by the Association against the
Lot and the Owner as an Assessment) or taking action to abate any violation
of the Governing Documents;
(iv) requiring an Owner, at the Owner's expense, to remove any structure
or Improvement on such Owner's Lot in violation of the Governing
Documents and to restore the Lot to its previous condition and, upon failure
of the Owner to do so, the Board or its designee shall have the right to enter
the property, remove the violation and restore the property to substantially
the same condition as previously existed, at the Owner's expense, and any
such action shall not be deemed a trespass;
(v) without liability to any person, the Association precluding any
contractor, subcontractor, agent, employee, or other invitee of an Owner
• who fails to comply with the terms and provisions of this Declaration from
continuing or performing any further activities in the Community;
Page 32 of 42 Central POA Declaration,FINAL.wpd
(vi) levying specific Assessments to cover costs incurred by the _
Association to bring a Lot into compliance with the Governing Documents; � )
and
(vii) bringing suit at law or in equity to enjoin any violation or to recover
monetary damages or both.
(c) In addition to any other enforcement rights, if an Owner fails to properly
perform his or her maintenance responsibility, or otherwise fails to comply with the
Governing Documents, the Association may record a notice of violation against the
Owner and the Lot.
(d) All remedies set forth in the Governing Documents shall be cumulative of
any remedies available at law or in equity. In any action to enforce the Governing

enforcement action. A decision of the Association to pursue enforcement action
shall not be construed as a waiver of the Association's right to enforce such
r provisions at a later time under other circumstances or preclude the Association
from enforcing any other covenant, restriction or rule. Without limiting the 16,3
generality of the foregoing, the Board may determine that, under the circumstances
of a particular case:
(i) the Association's legal position is not strong enough to justify taking
any or further action;
(ii) the covenant, restriction or rule being enforced is, or is likely to be
construed as, inconsistent with applicable law; or
(iii) that it is not in the Association's best interests, based upon hardship,
expense or other reasonable criteria, to pursue enforcement action.
Section 11.2 Severability. Each of the provisions of this Declaration shall be
deemed independent and severable. If any provision of this Declaration or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other
provisions or applications of this Declaration which can be given effect without the invalid
provisions or applications.

reservation of, the power of Declarant to make, execute and record an amendment under
this Section.

provided in this Declaration, and subject to provisions elsewhere contained in this

be effective upon the recordation in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the Gallatin
County, State of Montana of a certificate setting forth the amendment or repeal in full.

elected on behalf of Owners subject to the Community Declaration. Each Owner shall be allocated
votes pursuant to the Community Declaration. Voting rights and other rights of the Owners are
vested in Delegates, as provided for in the Community Declaration, these Bylaws and as allowed
for under Montana law. Members, as that term is used in Montana nonprofit law, shall be the
Delegates, as applicable, elected as provided in the Community Declaration and these Bylaws.
Wherever in the Montana nonprofit law reference is made to Members(as,for example,in statutory
provisions requiring an annual meeting of members, permitting removal of directors by members
or relating to voting on amendments to these Articles of Incorporation) the Members referred to
shall be such Delegates. The Members may be of such classes of membership as established by the
Community Declaration, as the Declaration may be amended or supplemented.
Section 2.2 Memberships Appurtenant. Each membership shall be appurtenant to the fee
simple title of an Owner. The person or persons who constitute the Owner of fee simple title shall
automatically be the holder of the membership appurtenant and the membership shall automatically
pass with fee simple title. No Owner shall be entitled to resign from the Community Association.
Membership shall not be assignable separate and apart from fee simple title except that an Owner
may assign some or all of their rights as an Owner to a tenant or holder of a security interest and
may arrange for a tenant to perform some or all of such Owner's obligations,but no such delegation
• or assignment shall relieve an Owner from the responsibility for fulfillment of the obligations of an
Page I of 22 Master Bylaws,FINAL.wpd
Owner under the Community Declaration. The rights acquired by any such tenant or holder of a •
Security Interest shall be extinguished automatically upon termination of the tenancy or interest.
The assignment of rights by an Owner pursuant to this Section shall not be subject to any present
or future statutory time limit for the duration of proxy rights.
Section 2.3 Voting Rights of Members. The Real Property shall be divided into Delegate

Delegate District present in person, or by proxy, at a duly constituted meeting of such Delegate
District. During the Period of Declarant Control, the Declarant or persons appointed by the

one of such persons, is given to the Board prior to the meeting,any one such person shall be entitled
to cast, in person or by proxy, the vote attributable, and it shall be presumed that they are in
agreement with respect to the manner that such vote is cast. If, however, more than one person
constituting such Owner attends a meeting in person or by proxy, and seeks to cast the vote
attributable, then the act of those persons owning a majority in interest shall be entitled to cast the
vote attributable.
Section 2.5 Resolution of Voting Disputes. In the event of any dispute as to the
entitlement of any Owner to vote or as to the results of any vote of Owners at a meeting, the Board
shall act as arbitrators and the decision of a disinterested majority of the Board shall,when rendered
in writing, be final and binding as an arbitration award and may be acted upon in accordance with
Montana law;provided,however,that the Board shall have no authority or jurisdiction to determine
matters relating to the entitlement of Declarant to vote or relating to the manner of exercise by
Declarant of its voting rights.

Owner shall be in default in the payment of any Assessment levied by the Community Association,

local government, this Community Declaration or any Supplemental Declaration or in
any contract or agreement for maintenance thereof entered into by the Community
Association, or as expressly delegated by a Sub Association and accepted by the
Community Association.
(e) Real property within any portion of the Community, in addition to that designated
by any Supplemental Declaration, either by agreement with the Sub Association or
because, in the opinion of the Board, the level and quality of service then being provided
is not adequate. All costs of maintenance pursuant to this paragraph may be assessed as a
Sub Association Assessment of the Community Association or sub-Assessment only
against the Units within the Sub Association, or if there is no Sub Association, then to
that Unit, to which the services are provided. The provision of services in accordance
iwith this Section shall not constitute discrimination within a class.
Page 20 of 52 Master Declaration,FINAL.wpd
(f) Any property and facilities owned by the Declarant and made available, on a
temporary or permanent basis, for the primary use and enjoyment of the Community •
Association, such property and facilities to be identified by written notice from the
Declarant to the Community Association and to be maintained by the Community
Association until such time as Declarant revokes such privilege of use and enjoyment by

or any successor organization established to own and maintain commonly owned open
spaces, recreational areas, facilities, private streets, and parking lots, shall at any time fail
to maintain the Common Land and Facilities in reasonable order and condition in
accordance with the approved plan, the City Commission may cause written notice to be
served upon such organization or upon the owners of property in the development. The
written notice shall set forth the manner in which the Common Land and Facilities have
failed to be maintained in reasonable condition. In addition, the notice shall include the
demand that the deficiencies noted be cured within thirty days thereafter and shall state
the date and place of a hearing to be held within fourteen days of the notice. At the time •
' of hearing, the City Commission may modify the terms of the original notice as to
deficiencies and may extend the time within which the same may be cured. If the
deficiencies set forth in the original notice or modifications are not cured within the time
set, the City may enter upon such common facilities and maintain the same for a period
of one year, in order to preserve the taxable values of properties within the development
and to prevent the common facilities from becoming a public nuisance. Such entry and
maintenance shall not vest in the public any right to use the common facilities not
dedicated to public use. Before the one year period expires, the Commission shall, upon
its own initiative or upon written request of the organization theretofore responsible for
maintenance, call a public hearing and give notice of such hearing to the organization
responsible for maintenance or the property owners of the development. At the hearing,
the organization responsible for maintenance and or the residents of the development
may show cause why maintenance by the City should not be continued for a succeeding
year. If the City commission determines that it is not necessary for the City to continue
such maintenance, the City shall cease such maintenance at the time established by the
City Commission. Otherwise, the City shall continue maintenance for the next
succeeding year subject to a similar hearing and determination at the end of each year
thereafter.
1. The cost of maintenance by the City shall be a lien against the
common facilities of the development and the private properties within the
development. The City Commission shall have the right to make Assessments
against properties in the development on the same basis that the organization •
Page 21 of 52 Master Declaration,FINAL.wpd
responsible for maintenance of the facilities could make such Assessments. Any
• unpaid Assessment shall be a lien against the property responsible for the same,
enforceable the same as a mortgage against such property. They City may further
foreclose its lien on the common facility by certifying the same to the County
Treasurer for collection as in the case of collection of general property taxes.
2. Should the property owners association request that the City
assume permanent responsibility for maintenance of facilities, all facilities shall
be brought to City standards prior to the City assuming responsibility. The
assumption of responsibility must be by action of the City Commission and all
costs to bring facilities to City standards shall be the responsibility of the property
owners association. They City may create special financing mechanisms so that
those properties within the area affected by the property owners association
continue to bear the costs of maintenance.
Section 5.4 Additional Services Any group of Units, acting either through their
Delegate or through a Sub Association, if any, may request that the Community Association
provide a higher level of service than that which the Community Association generally provides,
or may request that the Community Association provide special services. The cost of such
services, which may include a reasonable administrative charge in such amount as the Board
deems appropriate (provided, any such administrative charge shall apply at a uniform rate for all
• Units receiving the same service), shall be assessed against the Units as a part of one of the
Assessments, as determined by the Community Association.
Section 5.5 Sub Association's Responsibility. The Owners of Units within each Sub
Association, if any, may be responsible for paying, through Sub Association Assessments to
their Sub Association or through a separate Assessment to the Community Association, the costs
of operating, costs of utilities, and costs of maintaining and insuring certain portions of the Real
Property within their neighborhood. This may include, without limitation, the costs of
maintaining any Sub Association sign-age, entry features, right-of-way and open space between
the Sub Association and adjacent public roads and private streets within the Sub Association,
regardless of ownership and regardless of the fact that such maintenance may be performed by
the Community Association; provided, however, all Sub Associations which are similarly
situated shall be treated the same. Any Sub Association having any responsibility for
maintenance of property within such Sub Association shall perform such maintenance
responsibility in a manner consistent with first class, community-wide standards. If it fails to do
so, the Community Association may perform such responsibilities and assess the costs against all
Units within such Sub Association; as a Sub Association Assessment of the Community
Association.

action; •
(ii) the covenant, restriction or rule being enforced is, or is likely to be
construed as, inconsistent with applicable law;
(iii) although a technical violation may exist or may have occurred, it is not of
such a material nature as to be objectionable to a reasonable person or to justify
expending the Community Association's resources; or
(iv) that it is not in the Community Association's best interests, based upon
hardship, expense or other reasonable criteria, to pursue enforcement action.
Such a decision shall not be construed as a waiver of the Community Association's right to

enforce penalties or monetary charges for violations of any subordinate or junior declaration,
rules, regulations and architectural guidelines, and such penalties and/or monetary fines shall be
a binding personal obligation of any violators. In any legal or equitable proceeding for the
enforcement of such provisions, whether an action for damage, declaratory relief or injunctive
relief, or any other action, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled to recover from the
losing party all of its costs, including court costs, administrative fees and reasonable attorneys'
fees. The prevailing party shall be entitled to said attorneys' fees even though said proceeding
may be settled prior to judgment. All remedies provided herein or at law or in equity shall be •

DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS
OF OV
BAXTER MEADOWS MASTER COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
The integration of buildings, improvements and landscape within Baxter Meadows Master
Community Association (BMMCA) is essential to the success and appearance of the community.
As provided in section 8.1 of the BMMCA Declaration, any and all construction, alterations or
improvements, and front yard landscaping shall be subject to advance approval by the BMMCA
Design Review Board (DRB). Any deviation from approved plans shall be re-submitted to the
Design Review Board for approval. Site Design Regulations serve to protect and enhance the
natural landscape, stream corridors, view sheds and natural habitat.
No structures, including residences, outbuildings, accessory buildings, tennis courts, swimming
pools, antennas (except as otherwise permitted in this Declaration), flag poles, fences, walls,
exterior lighting, landscaping, or any other Improvements shall be constructed, erected, relocated,
removed or installed on a Unit or on any lot, nor shall any painting, alteration or change to the
exterior of the Improvements, the exterior of a residence,to a Unit or to any lot front yard or to
any structure or any attachment to the exterior of a residence (including paint, awnings,patios,
decks, or shutters)be commenced unless: complete plans and specifications shall have been first
submitted to and approved in writing by the DRB("Committee")as may be outlined in the Rules
and Regulations. Additional written approval may be required by sub Architectural Review
Committee administered by any Sub association.
I. DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
Section 1. Submission of Plans Before Construction.
No residence, fence, wall, garage, outbuilding or other structure shall be made, erected, altered or
permitted to remain upon the properties until written plans and specifications showing the design,
nature, kind, color, dimensions, shape, elevations, material, use and location of the same shall
have been submitted and approved, in writing, by a majority of the DRB as to compliance with
these Covenants, as well as appropriate City of Bozeman review,permitting and fee payment. All
plans submitted to the City of Bozeman Building Division must have the Baxter Meadows
Design Review Board stamp of approval.
Section 2. General Requirements.
Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the anticipated date of construction commencement,
Applicant shall submit two copies of the required documents (see Form "A" attached) for each
design review to the following:
Deliver or mail to:
Baxter Meadows Design Review Board (DRB)
c/o Intrinsik Architecture, Inc.
428 E. Mendenhall Street
Bozeman, Montana 59715
Submittals must be labeled with "Baxter Meadows Design Review Board" and specific project
title and address.
Page I of 19 Master Design Review Guidelines,FINAL.wpd
Upon DRB review, the owner will be notified within ten (10) business days after the start of the
review cycle date that the design has been approved, approved with stipulations or disapproved.
Applications which are submitted to the DRB incomplete will be returned and may be subject to a
re-submittal fee.
The reasons for approval with stipulation and disapproval will be clarified for the owner in
writing and/or with drawings. If the DRB.,does not contact the owner within ten (10) business
days of the review commencement date, the application shall be deemed "dissapproved".
An application for withdrawal may be made without prejudice, provided the request for
withdrawal is made in writing to the DRB.
All variance requests pertaining to the DRB approvals must be made in writing to the DRB. Any
variance granted shall be considered unique and will not set any precedent for future decisions.
If an application has been denied, or the approval is subject to conditions that the owner feels are
unacceptable, the owner may request a hearing before the DRB to justify his/her position. The
DRB will consider the arguments and facts presented by the owner and notify the owner of its
final decision within ten(10)days of the hearing.
Section 3. Construction Completion.
If construction of a structure is not commenced within one year after DRB approval, a new DRB
application must be submitted. No construction shall be commenced without a valid DRB
_. approval. Any structure to be erected in accordance with an approval so given must be erected
' and completed within one year from the date of construction commencement. If any structure is
commenced and is not completed in accordance with the plans and specifications within one year,
the Directors of the Association, at their option, may take such action as may be necessary, in
their judgment, to improve the appearance so as to make the property harmonious with other
properties and to comply with these Covenants, including completion of the exterior of the
combination thereof, or removing the uncompleted structure or similar operations. The amount
of any expenditure made in so doing shall be an obligation of the owner. A lien on the property
may be recorded and shall be enforceable by an action at law. In lieu thereof, the Association
may take such action as is available by law, including an injunction, or action for damages.
Section 4. Inspection Procedure.
Inspections are required to ensure that construction proceeds in compliance with these covenants
and the approved drawings. An inspection is required at each of three stages of construction:
framing, siding, and landscaping. The owner shall request an inspection of the improvements by
the DRB. Owners are responsible for scheduling an inspection accordingly: 1) when the framing
is complete; 2) when siding is at a point, prior to completion, to allow the DRB to see the siding
and cladding product(s) installed in their planned locations; and 3) when landscaping components
(beds, plants, sod, irrigation, and trees) are installed in their planned locations.
The inspections shall only determine compliance with the covenants and approved plans. If the
DRB find the improvements were not completed in strict compliance with the covenants and
approved plans, the DRB shall notify the owner of the noncompliance within seven (7) days of
the inspection request and shall require remedy of the same. The owner shall have seven (7) days
Page 2 of 19 Master Design Review Guidelines,FINAL.wpd
( from the noncompliance notification to remedy the noncompliance or shall submit a work plan •�
delineating the time frame when the noncompliance will be remedied. The DRB may allow up to
forty-five (45) days for the noncompliance to be remedied if the submitted work plan provides
adequate justification for the requested time.
i
No occupancy of the project shall take place prior to written DRB approval, as well as payment of
all inspection and review fees, and any outstanding costs, unless otherwise allowed. If the
noncompliance is not remedied within seven (7) days of notification and the owner does not
provide a work plan within said time, or if the noncompliance is not remedied within the time
frame provided in the work plan as approved by the DRB, the DRB may, at their option, remedy
the noncompliance. The owner shall reimburse the DRB upon demand for all expenses incurred
in connection therewith. If the owner does not promptly repay such expenses, the DRB shall levy
an assessment and file a lien against such owner and the improvement in question and the land on
which the same is situated for reimbursement and the same shall be enforced and/or foreclosed
upon in the manner provided for by law.
No occupancy of the project shall take place prior to written DRB approval as well as payment of
both inspections and any outstanding costs, unless otherwise allowed.
Section 5. Liability and Variances.
Neither the Association, the Declarant, the Directors, the DRB nor the individual members
thereof, may be held liable to any person for any damages for any action taken pursuant to these
Covenants, including but not limited to, damages which may result from correction, amendment,
changes or rejection of plans and specifications, the issuance of approvals, or any delays •
associated with such action on the part of the Board of Directors.
Further, the Committee may, upon application, grant a variance from the Architectural
Regulations,provided that the spirit of these Design Guidelines is complied with. The Committee
shall have the duty and power to make the final decision on the granting of the variance, without
any liability being incurred or damages being assessed due to any decision of the Committee.
Within all section of these Design Guidelines, when a variance is indicated that it may be granted,
the variance must be requested and approved by the DRB and/or the Bozeman City Commission,
as applicable, depending on whether the variance is from the Covenants or from the current City
Zoning Ordinance or both.
Section 6. Design Review Procedure.
STEP 1: Construction Design Review.
In addition to verifying the required setbacks, this review checks the designs for correct
interpretation of the Architectural Regulations, checks the construction documents for compliance
with the DRB and verifies that the previous DRB recommendations have been incorporated.
Conformity to applicable local regulations and building codes, as well as obtaining appropriate
permits is the responsibility of the architect and/or builder.

yard piping, heads, and a controller with sufficient capacity for the owner to
install an irrigation system in the rear yard. Every homeowner shall be
responsible for the maintenance of their entire system excluding only the street
right of way.
II. BUILDING FORM REGULATIONS
The intent of the following building design regulations are to develop
architectural unity within the districts of Baxter Meadows while allowing for the
vitality of individual expression.
A. Building Height
1. Residential Buildings:
Building heights within all residential areas of the BMCPOA shall be limited to a
maximum of 38 feet. Building height shall be measured from the highest ridge to
the adjacent grade. The maximum building height shall never exceed that
stipulated and governed by the City of Bozeman. With the approval of the DRB,
chimneys, cupolas and other rooftop architectural features may exceed the given
maximum height limitations by no more than 4 feet.
On complex buildings with multiple heights,the building height shall be
determined by calculating the highest ridge line of the building, and measuring to
the average of the highest and lowest finished grade. The final elevation of the
finished surface materials,whether soil,paving, or decking shall be indicated as
the finished grade, abnd shall be shown on the Architect's drawings.
B. Roof Form
The architecture within Baxter Meadows shall complement and respond to the
natural qualities of Bozeman. The consistency and compatibility of roof shapes,
pitches and materials will contribute significantly to the continuity of the
character of Baxter Meadows. The following design regulations have been
developed to allow for distinct building forms while addressing the character of
the entire community. Exterior walls shall not exceed 40 feet in length without a
change of orientation such as the introduction of dormers,projected bays, or
recesses greater than 2 feet. When refining roof forms consideration shall also be
given to the prevention of excessive snow build-up and snow shedding.
1. Shape and Pitch:
When examining roof shapes and pitches for buildings within Baxter Meadows,
designers should consider the simple shapes and pitches of buildings found .
within traditional neighborhoods. Gable, hip, and modified hip roofs shall be the
only acceptable roof forms. Shed roofs shall not be major roof forms. Mansard
roofs, pseudo-mansard roofs, curvilinear roofs, and A-frame roofs shall not be
allowed for any roof form.
Variation in orientation of the dominant roof form is essential to the successful •
1 design of large buildings. Dominant roof forms shall not exceed 40 feet in length
without a change in orientation or introduction of dormers.
Page 9 of 19 Master Design Review Guidelines,FINAL.wpd
Within all Development Areas, roof slopes shall be a minimum of 6:12 and a
• maximum of 12:12. Secondary roofs may be gable, shed, hip, and modified hip
roofs with pitches not less than 4:12 when attached to major building forms.
Such roof forms shall be integral to the building or roof form.
Roof protrusions other than chimneys and plumbing vent stacks shall not be
located on any roof facing the front or street side of the building.
The BMCPOA DRB US THIS THE CORRECT REFERENCE?? OR
SHOULD THIS BE MASTER ASSOCIATION?l retains the right to waive the
minimum or maximum roof pitch requirement when, in its sole judgment, a
lower or steep roof pitch is more appropriate for the design of a building, and
does not compromise the integrity of the development district. This privilege
may be exercised by the DRB without relinquishing its right to enforce the
minimum or maximum requirements on other projects.
2. Entry Definition, Overhangs&Fascia:
Snow in the Bozeman area often builds up on roof surfaces and slides off at
irregular intervals. Such slides can damage property, decks,balconies and even
injure people. No roof without adequate protection from snow slides shall slope
toward driveways, sidewalks,porches, decks, balconies or any other areas that
may be damaged or cause injury through the shedding of snow or ice from the
roof.
Entrances shall be specifically expressed and protected with adequate overhangs.
All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 16 inches. All fascia materials shall be
• a minimum of 6 inches.
3. Dormers and Secondary Roofs:
Dormers and secondary roofs are often necessary to add interest and scale to
major roof areas and to make habitable use of the attic space within the roof.
Dormers and secondary roofs shall be gable,shed, hip, and modified hip roofs
and may be stacked in multiple forms.
4. Skylights and Solar Collectors:
When designing the location of skylights, consideration shall be given to both the
interior and exterior appearance of the unit. Locations shall also be coordinated
with window and door locations. Skylights shall be located away from valleys,
ridges and all other areas where drifting snow may hinder the performance and
safety of the unit. Skylights shall be of high quality, insulated, double pane
construction. Roof skylights shall be flat in profile; bubble and dome style
skylights shall not be permitted.
Solar collectors shall be integrated into the overall roof design, and shall be
placed flush with the slope of the roof or wall of the building. All solar
collectors shall be screened or concealed from view of other dwellings and
Common Areas.
5. Chimney Composition,Proportion and Materials:
Chimneys, flues and vents can be used to create visual contrast to the dominant
Vroof forms of the buildings within Baxter Meadows. All flues shall be enclosed
with a chimney cap and fitted with a spark arrestor. No exposed metal or clay
flues shall be allowed. All chimney forms shall relate to the overall building and
Page 10 of 19 Master Design Review Guidelines,FINAL.wpd
• •
shall be covered with stone, stucco or wood siding materials to match exterior
( finishes of the building.
Building vents and flues for such functions as ventilation and exhaust shall be
consolidated into enclosures wherever possible and shall typically be concealed
from public view. Place roof penetrations on the rear side of the house whenever
possible. All exposed metal shall be painted in a color compatible with the color
scheme of the house. Attic openings, soffit vents, foundation louvers, or other
direct openings in outside walls,overhangs or roofs shall be covered with non-
combustible, corrosion-resistant metal mesh.
6. Exterior Wall Form:
Exterior wall surfaces shall be no longer than 40 feet in length without the
introduction of a minimum 4-foot recess,4-foot projection or change in
orientation. Two story exterior wall forms shall be interrupted by minor roof
forms.
1. Foundation walls shall be exposed a maximum of eighteen inches(18")above
the ground. On sloping grades, siding shall remain at least 1'-0" above grade, and
the upper edge of the water table shall remain level, stepping down the slope in
increments of 4'or less. see above. Concrete foundations exposed more than
eighteen inches (18") above grade must have an architectural finish (texture,
pattern and/or color).
III. MATERIAL AND DETAIL REGULATIONS.
When choosing materials for buildings in Baxter Meadows, architects should select materials of •t
an appropriate quality and durability in an often harsh northern environment. Synthetic and
composite materials which conserve valuable wood resources should be considered whenever a
building owner is contemplating opaque finishes or high maintenance areas. The use of materials
and colors for all structures in the development districts shall blend into the surrounding site.
The following are the only allowable materials in Baxter Meadows:
A. Roof Materials
Durable roof materials capable of withstanding the freeze thaw cycle of the environment
are required. Cold roof systems with adequate ventilation and insulation are
recommended. All roof materials shall carry a Class A or B rating.
The following are the only acceptable roof materials:
§ Treated wood shakes or shingles
§ Synthetic shakes and shingles
§ Natural and synthetic slate shingles
§ Asphalt random tab shingles
§ Pre-finished metal roofing
§ Other similar materials, as allowed by the DRB
§ All roof flashing vents, hoods, and roof accessories shall be copper or a pre-finished
metal that blends with the color of the roofing material selected. •
Page I I of 19 Master Design Review Guidelines,FINAL.wpd
• •
B. Exterior Wall Materials
The character of the building exterior shall be kept simple in order to harmonize and
compliment the surrounding environment of the site. Natural materials and subdued
colors shall be used on the main body of the building. Exterior trim can be more colorful
and may contrast with the main body in order to add visual interest to the predominant
neutral tones.
Full scale samples of all exterior building materials, including window samples are
required in the Final Plan Review.
The DRB shall consider materials not listed below that maintain the aesthetic
continuity of Baxter Meadows, including pre-finished composite wood products and
synthetic siding materials.
1. Stonework:
Rock shall be natural or synthetic stone materials. Dry stack settings with
minimal exposed mortar are preferred. Stonework shall not be applied to
individual wall surfaces in order to avoid a veneer-like appearance and shall
continue around corners to an inside corner. Detailed drawings of all exterior
stonework shall be required as a part of the final plan submittal.
2. Concrete/Stucco:
Exposed concrete foundation walls between ground level and exterior wall siding
shall be a maximum of 8 inches. Foundation exposure over 8 inches shall be 1
i• finished with synthetic textured stucco(stained a subdued color in harmony with

emphasize the contrast between basic wall surfaces and accented details. All
exterior color schemes shall be reviewed by the DRB as a part of the Plan

inches in exterior wall surfaces. Uninterrupted bands of windows and doors shall
not be allowed in any building. Window and door locations shall be carefully
considered to avoid being obscured by accumulating snow.

Decks, balconies, terraces and porches shall be designed to enhance the overall
architecture of the building by creating variety and detail on exterior elevations.
Covered decks,projecting balconies and bay windows shall be integrated with,

integrate the building and landscape by creating a transition between the built
and natural character of the site. No deck,balcony or porch shall be used for the
storage of any items except normal furniture. No exterior carpeting may be used
if it is visible from any neighboring lot or the street. All railings shall be wood or
approved wood-like material finished to be compatible with the color scheme of
the house.
2. Materials:
Low level decks shall be skirted to grade, while providing proper ventilation and
access. Decks which are not practical to skirt shall be designed to assure that the
underside of the deck is integrated with the design of the building. Exposed
metal joist hangers shall not be visible. Posts shall be a minimum of eight inches
square, and shall be paired together to diminish a thin visual appearance. The
dimensions of two-story columns shall be increased to account for the great
height. Materials and colors shall be consistent with the building and
surrounding landscape. Front porches are intended to be open to allow for
interaction with the street. Screened-in porches and glazing are not permitted.
Porch supports shall be built of stone,masonry, concrete,or wood. Column base
piers shall be no less than 16" x 16" square and wood columns shall be no less
