Hydrozoning: Landscaped areas should be on separate irrigation zones (valves) based on the vegetation’s water demand. Grouping plants with similar watering needs in the same irrigation zone will reduce over or under watering of the vegetation. 2. Drought Tolerant Landscaping: Drought tolerant and water-wise landscaping requires approximately 75% less water than turfgrass. Maximizing the installation of drought tolerant landscaping, especially within areas surrounded by pavement is recommended to improve aesthetics and maximize water efficiency. 3. Topsoil: A topsoil depth of 4”- 6” (after grading) should be installed in seeded and sodded areas. This will support proper root depth growth and assist with plant and turfgrass resiliency. 4. Drip Irrigation: Perennials, shrubs, and trees should be irrigated using low flow drip irrigation technology that will directly target the roots. 5. MSMT (Rotary) Nozzles: Multi-stream, multi-trajectory (MSMT) rotary nozzles can reduce water loss from evaporation and wind drift by up to 50%, and allow more time for water to infiltrate into the soil, reducing runoff. MSMT ‘rotary nozzles’ should be installed where overhead irrigation is to be used. 6. Weather- based Irrigation Controllers: When programmed properly, weather-based irrigation controllers can reduce outdoor water use by 25%. A weather-based irrigation controller that can automatically adjust the watering schedule according to local weather events should be installed. 7. Narrow Landscaped Area Irrigation: Utilizing overhead spray irrigation in narrow landscaped areas (< 8’) can result in large amounts of overspray onto pavement and other surrounding areas. Low volume drip or subsurface drip irrigation should be installed in these areas to eliminate overspray. Alternatively, consider plantings that will not require irrigation beyond the establishment period to avoid wasting water in these narrow landscaped areas. 8. Pressure Regulation: To ensure uniform coverage of turf areas, the use of pressure regulating sprinkler bodies is encouraged. These sprinkler bodies can help avoid inconsistent spray patterns within one zone, in which certain heads may Noted.Info Only Plan Review - Review Comments Report Project Name: 24077 NWX Building J CONR Workflow Started: 2/7/2024 10:40:37 AM Report Generated: 03/07/2024 10:49 AM REVIEW COMMENTS Plan Review - Review Comments Report Project Name: 24077 NWX Building J CONR Workflow Started: 2/7/2024 10:40:37 AM Report Generated: 03/07/2024 10:49 AM 3 1 Water Conservation Division Eric Neustrup 2/16/24 11:36 AM Comment It is anticipated that in early 2024, a water efficient landscape ordinance (and associated Landscape and Irrigation Performance and Design Standards Manual) will be adopted by the Bozeman City Commission. These revisions to Bozeman’s UDC will ensure that landscapes in future developments use water more efficiently by placing limits on the amount of turfgrass that can be installed, requiring high- quality topsoil, and setting standards for how irrigation systems are designed. To familiarize yourself with these upcoming changes, please visit https://www.bozeman.net/departments/utilities/water-conservation/new- development-standards.

Water Adequacy: The development will need to satisfy the water adequacy code requirement prior to a future site plan approval. If sufficient water rights cant be provided to offsets the development's annual demand then a cash- in-lieu of water rights (CILWR) payment will be required. The City assesses the CILWR fee at a rate of $6,000 per acre-foot. The fee determination will take place during the site plan review, however if there are any questions or if a preliminary review is desired please contact Griffin Nielsen with the Engineering/Utilities Department directly at gnielsen@bozeman.net or (406) 582-2279. The City encourages the use of groundwater wells to supply irrigation demands, which in turn will reduce the CILWR fee. Applicant must obtain a pre-determination from the DNRC demonstrating that a well groundwater well may be permitted under Montanas exempt appropriation or that provide the water right documentation if existing prior to finalization of the CILWR fee determination. Finally, the City would like to make the owner aware of an available CILWR rebate of approximately 20% for residential units if high-efficiency fixtures (toilets, washers, and shower heads) meeting the City Water Conservation Division standards are installed. The rebate would be released at occupancy and requires an agreement defining the terms and amount rebate be finalized and executed prior to final plan approval.

The applicant requested a departure from the standard limiting parking to no more than 50% of street frontage. Drive aisles and drive-throughs are considered part of the parking and therefore the proposed site is actually 100% of the street frontage due to the drive-through wrapping around the building.

The provision of through vehicle access connections between commercially or non- residentially zoned properties is required except where the review authority determines it is unfeasible or undesirable. Vehicle access may be in the form of a dedicated or private alley, connected or shared parking lots, shared drive aisles, or similar features. According to the approved Site Plan #21475 for the adjacent property to the west, there is already an existing shared access agreement for this lot (Gallatin County Document #2780440). Instead of moving the eastern boundary line to facilitate a new access on Day Spring, the use of this existing shared access easement or connected parking lot with the adjacent lot to the west, should be Dayspring is a dedicated public access that is utilized for site access.
