This letter is submitted in response to the Site Plan Submittal Community Development and
Engineering Comments, for Smart Foods Bozeman, 1601 West Main Street, Bozeman MT. The
comments have been individually addressed as follows (please refer to the plans resubmitted with this
response letter):
Building Design
Comment: (3a) Block frontage. The proposed site fronts on N. 15th Ave. which is designated a “mixed”
block frontage. Mixed block frontages, commercial developments may be placed up to the sidewalk
edge and treat that façade as a storefront block frontage or choose to set-back the building 10-feet and
design the façade per the landscape BF standards. The 15th Ave. frontage appears to be setback form the
property line by 29.5-feet which is permitted and akin to the Landscape Block Frontage standards.
Response: Noted
Comment: (3b) The 15th Ave. façade must have a building entrance that is visible and directly accessible
form the street. Sheet “FFP” Shows a set of doors located approximately midway along the east façade
and it is labeled “Exit”. However, the Elevation sheet with the “Front Elevation (South)” façade labels the
doors as” Automatic Entry/Exist Door Dark Bronze”. This elevation is mislabeled “South” when it is
actually the East façade; please make that correction on the sheet and also label the east door as
entry/exist.
Response: Labels have been updated to correctly reflect the elevation and direction. The requirement
entry/exit door has been relocated south, near the corner feature per our video conference.
Comment: (3c) That same sheet labels the “Right Elevation (East) when it is actually the South façade;
please make that correction this this sheet. This elevation does not label the doors at the east side of
this façade as entry or exist doors. However, the floor plan sheet FFP labels those as exist only doors
and the Entry is to the west of those doors. Please make the floor plan doors and the elevation sheet
doors consistent. Please place a calculation box next to each façade elevation showing the square
footage of windows thereon and the percent of transparencies for each façade.
Response: Labels have been corrected. Percentage of glazing has been added to the elevations.
Comment: (3d) The south façade of the proposed building fronts on this shopping center internal
roadway and must meet the building design standards for “Internal roadway storefront block frontage
standards”. This BF standard requires a minimum 12-feet wide pedestrian pathway/sidewalk with the
planting strip connecting the new site with the existing landscaped pedestrian pathway/sidewalk
treatment fronting the other commercial buildings thing the center and along the harbor Freight façade.
Note the tree planting requirement of this subsection. The south façade must also provide the façade
transparencies of this section. Please label the width of the sidewalk along the south façade of the
building. The required transparencies and the 12-foot width must not be blocked/obscured by the
shopping cart corral.
Response: Glazing percentage has been added.
Comment: (3e) Please correct the labels of the elevations on the North, South and East building
facades/elevations. You have labeled the West elevation as the “Left elevation (West)” and should just
be labeled “West elevation”
Response: Labels have been corrected
Comment: (3f) All facades of the building must meet the design standards. With the next submittal,
please provide a physical sample of the clear glass to be used to meet building façade transparency
requirements.
