Unresolved Issues.
There are no unresolved issues with this application.
Project Summary
The Department of Community Development received a Preliminary Plat Application on
February 8, 2024 requesting to subdivide 114.68 acres to create 146 buildable lots and 20
restricted development lots, 16 open space lots, and 2 city park lots with easements and
associated right of way. The subject property is zoned REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed
Use),
Proposed land uses for the subdivision are primarily residential in the form of 1-4 household
(single detached, duplex, triplex, and four-plexes) on individual lots, townhouses and rowhouses,
and multi-household (multi-family). Exhibit 7 below shows proposed uses over the entire
subdivision. Block 1 is intended for mixed use and commercial development and is included in
phase 1. Blocks 7, 14, and 20 along Valley Center Road are proposed as multi-household and are
currently restricted development lots subject to further subdivision review. 1-4 household and
townhouse/rowhouse development is proposed in blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 with phase 1.
Future phases in restricted development lots to the west of phase 1 are currently proposed as
single household detached and attached (1-4 household). Development of lots within the
subdivision will be subject to Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) provisions at the time of
development for REMU Zoning.
Seven city park lots are proposed within the overall subdivision, with two parks proposed to be
constructed with phase 1. Park 1 in phase 1 totals 2.50 acres, and Park 2 totals 1.02 acres. The
sixteen (16) open space lots in phase 1 are proposed to facilitate stormwater retention, pedestrian
right-of-way, block frontage, guest parking, utilities, and watercourse and wetland buffers. A
park master plan is included under application document 004.
Five local streets are proposed within phase 1 of the subdivision. Quicksilver Road and
Gunsmoke Avenue are two north-south running local streets proposed with the subdivision.
Turnrow Trail, Durango Lane, and Westlake Road are the proposed east-west running local
streets. Westlake Road at the far south end and Davis Lane along the eastern boundary of the
subject property are proposed as modified or custom street sections to accommodate adjacent
unannexed property and the Cattail Creek watercourse. This design process was reviewed under
the authority of the Director of Transportation and Engineering per BMC 38.200.010.F for
modifications to the City’s street improvement standards in BMC 38.400.010. Improvements to
Davis Lane and East Valley Center Road are also required and proposed with the subdivision as
off-site improvements. East Valley Center Road is a Montana Department of Transportation
(MDT) urban route. Design of the East Valley Center Road improvements including the phase 1
proposed approaches, future approaches, a new traffic signal at the intersection with Davis Lane,
and a shared use path have been designed with input and preliminary approval from MDT which
can be found under application document 011.06. This preliminary approval letter requires final
10
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 3 of 35
design and traffic mitigations prior to final approval. MDT local agency guidelines requires
preliminary design approval and permitting from MDT prior to installation and final plat
approval.
Four (4) sub phases are proposed within the phase 1 subdivision. Exhibit 4 contains the phasing
exhibit, which may also be viewed in application drawing 013. All phases, as indicated in the
exhibits, depict the proposed road, alley, stormwater, utility and the on and off-site infrastructure
shown in the plans to be phased. Sub phase 1.1 contains onsite and offsite infrastructure, and
development of blocks 1, 3, and 6 including the block 3 park, Turnrow Trail, and portions of
Gunsmoke Avenue and Quicksilver Road. Sub phase 1.2 contains block 2 and a portion of block
4, as well as portions of Gunsmoke Avenue and Durango Lane. Sub phase 1.3 includes the
reminder of block 4 and portions of Durango Lane. Sub phase 1.4 is the final sub phase in phase
1 and includes the remainders of Quicksilver Road, Durango Lane, and Gunsmoke Avenue, as
well as Westlake Road, and blocks 5, 9, and 10, and the remainder of block 4. Park 2 is also
included in sub phase 1.4. The applicant has requested concurrent construction. All
improvements must be installed prior to the issuance of a building permit for any lot within a
subdivision, except when concurrent construction is an identified purpose of the initial project
review and approved pursuant to the criteria established in subsection D of BMC 38.270.030.
Subsection D allows lots subject to site plan review to commence with vertical construction prior
to installation of required infrastructure with concurrent construction approval. Code provision 8
requires a no build restriction on any single household lots in phase 1.1 subject to sketch plan
review with final plat. Lots subject to site plan review may receive building permits with a
concurrent construction approval, following final site plan approval. The lot restrictions for lots
subject to sketch plan review may be lifted when the subdivision infrastructure has been
completed and accepted by the City per BMC 38.270.030.D.1.
Two jurisdictional watercourses and their associated wetlands and irrigation facilities are
impacted by the proposed subdivision. Cattail Creek crosses the northeast corner of the subject
property along Valley Center Road and Davis Lane, and an unnamed tributary to Buster Gulch is
in the southwest corner. A wetland delineation report is located in application documents under
document 012. Because these watercourses have downstream agricultural water users, and can be
classified as stream-ditches, code provision 16 requires that agricultural water user easements
meeting the requirements of BMC 38.410.060.D.1 be dedicated for the Cattail Creek ditch and
the southwest watercourse prior to final plat approval. Code provision 10 is also related to
agricultural water user facilities and provides conditions required to be satisfied prior to
culverting and other infrastructure installation. Per BMC 38.220.060.A.8 final approval of the
proposed use or discontinuance of each of the ditches shown on the preliminary plat from the
users must be submitted to the review engineer prior to infrastructure approval. In the
accompanying infrastructure set, there are two culverts serving an irrigation ditch that crosses
Davis Lane and Valley Center Road near the intersection of those two roads. The improvements
over the existing culvert in Davis lane and extension of the existing culvert in Valley Center
11
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 4 of 35
Road must be approved by the ditch users. The applicant must contact the Gallatin County
Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers regarding the proposed project and any required permits needed for impacting
watercourses and wetlands (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.). Any required permits must
be obtained by the applicant and provided to the Community Development Department prior to
construction and final plat approval. The City’s wetlands consultant reviewed the aquatic
resources delineation and functional assessment and found the reports to be sound with a
recommended code provisions for the application to obtain the required permits prior to
commencing any construction. Watercourse plantings as trees, shrubs, and native grass seed will
be provided for restoration where impacts are proposed for necessary infrastructure construction.
Further analysis of the is located below in the staff analysis section for Surface Water.
On September 17, 2024 the Development Review Committee (DRC) found the application
sufficient for continued review and recommends the conditions and code provisions identified in
this report.
The subdivider did not request any waivers or variances with this application. The City did not
receive any written public comment on the application as of the writing of this report.
The final decision for this preliminary plat must be made by January 15, 2025 or 80 working
days from the sufficiency date per BMC 38.240.100 and MCA 76-3-616 for exempt
subdivisions.
Alternatives
1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Continue the public meeting on the application, with specific direction to staff or the
subdivider to supply additional information or to address specific items.

SECTION 6 – STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the
review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this
report is a summary of the completed review.
Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.150.B, BMC.
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The preliminary plat was prepared in accordance with the surveying and monumentation
requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered
in the State of Montana. As noted in the code requirements, the final plat must comply with State
statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman
Municipal Code. The subdivider is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions not
specifically listed as a condition of approval, do not, in any way, create a waiver or other
relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3
and 4 of this report identify conditions and code provisions necessary to meet all municipal
standards. The listed code requirements address necessary documentation and compliance with
standards. Therefore, upon satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will
comply with the subdivision regulations.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The Bozeman Planning Board public meeting and City Commission public hearings were
properly noticed in accordance with the Bozeman Municipal Code. Based on the
recommendation of the Development Review Committee (DRC) and other applicable review
agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the City Commission will make
the final decision on the subdivider’s request. Review of this subdivision was conducted under
the terms of 76-3-616 MCA as authorized in 38.240.100.
The Department of Community Development received a preliminary plat application on
February 8, 2024. The DRC reviewed the preliminary plat application and determined the
28
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 21 of 35
submittal did not contained detailed, supporting information that was sufficient to allow for the
continued review of the proposed subdivision.
A revised application was received on May 13, 2024. The DRC determined the application was
still not adequate for continued review.
A revised application was received on August 16, 2024. The DRC determined the application
was adequate for continued review September 17, 2024 and recommended conditions of
approval and the code corrections for the staff report.
The applicant posted public notice on the subject property on October 9, 2024. The applicant
sent public notice to all landowners of record within 200-feet of the subject property via first
class mail, on October 9, 2024. Per notes included the applicants public notice declaration form,
contact information was not able to be obtained for the adjacent Valley Center Subdivision Park
parcel since the property owners’ association is not currently active. The applicant provided
details for three individuals that reside or own property in the Valley Center Subdivision and
outreach was conducted in lieu of mailing a notice for the park space. The individual responsible
for maintenance of the park on a volunteer basis will be provided a public notice. No public
comment had been received on this application as of the writing of this report.
On October 30, 2024 a major subdivision staff report was completed and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval for consideration to the Planning Board.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Community Development staff and the DRC reviewed the preliminary plat against all applicable
regulations and the application complies with the BMC and all other relevant regulations with
conditions and code corrections. This report includes Conditions of Approval and required code
provisions as recommended by the DRC for consideration by the City Commission to complete
the application processing for final plat approval. All municipal water and sewer facilities will
conform to the regulations outlined by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and
the requirements of the Design Standards and Specifications Policy (DSSP) and the City of
Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications.
Water/sewer – The subdivision will not significantly burden city water and sewer infrastructure
with the recommended conditions of approval and code provisions. Document 016 contains the
preliminary design report for water systems improvements in the proposed subdivision, stamped
by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Montana. This report was reviewed by the
Engineering Division for compliance with state and local Public Works Standard Specifications,
the City’s design standards, the City of Bozeman Water Facility Plan, and the City of Bozeman
Fire Service Line Standard and found to meet with code provisions the City’s review
requirements. Per the design report, “there is adequate volume and pressure to supply domestic
and fire service for all buildings in the proposed development.” Final plans and specifications
will be prepared and reviewed after action on the preliminary plat. The proposed design will tie
into a single existing water main in Davis Lane to create a looped distribution system within the
29
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 22 of 35
development. The water design report contains an analysis for phased improvements starting
with phase 1.1 through phase 1.4 to ensure adequate service with phased construction. Through
the subdivision review process the applicant has proposed several alley sections that will contain
either a single public utility or both water and sewer mains. Due to the requirement for a utility
line to be no more than 9 feet from the edge of the easement or less than 10 feet from a parallel
utility line, the alley widths fluctuate from 20 and 30 feet to accommodate the presence this
utility infrastructure. Code provision 4e requires funding and maintenance of all alleys that
contain public utilities by the property owners’ association. Since the alleys are functioning as
local streets for the purposes of utility conveyance, this code provision also requires a hold
harmless and indemnification agreement and a perpetual legal instrument, acknowledging that
the city will not assume dedication and maintenance of the alleys due to the presence of the
private utilities per BMC 38.400.020.A.2. Code provision 17 contains requirements for the water
and sanitary sewer systems including the construction of a force main through block 1 for the
Valley Center Lift Station and general lift station improvements required prior to final plat.
Code provision 18 requires the applicant offset estimated water demand prior to final plat
approval per subsection D of BMC 38.410.130. Per this section, the application may either
transfer water rights into city ownership that are appurtenant to the land being developed or as
acceptable to the city, provide payment of cash-in-lieu of water rights at a rate established by the
most recent City Commission resolution, or a combination of both. This project was annexed
into City limits in 2022 under the Silo Annexation and Zone Map Amendment, application
21442. The annexation agreement for the subject property located in the City’s online document
repository here, states “the Landowner must transfer any water rights that exist for this property
to the City of Bozeman prior to development that the City of Bozeman determines are useful for
City purposes. If insufficient water rights exist, the Landowner must pay cash in lieu of water
rights, in any amount determined by the Director of Public Service, prior to development.
Easements - The final plat must provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility
easements. Code provision 15 requires that all easements, existing and proposed, must be
accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities
will be located within dedicated street right of ways and within alleys. The applicant must submit
for review and approval all easements, which designate space for public or private utilities that are
not in the designated pubic right of way. Additional required easements include public drainage
easements for all stormwater facilities located on private property, and an agricultural water user’s
easement to ensure maintenance access for all downstream agricultural water users. All easements
must be provided using the City’s standard language. Ten-foot front yard utility easements are
depicted on the preliminary plat and are proposed to be granted with the final plat in accordance
with standards. An existing public access easement, recorded under document 2791403 with the
Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder, provides the necessary right-of-way for the public to utilize
the Valley Center multimodal trail required in code provision 12 to be constructed with phase 1.1
improvements. Copies of additional existing easements are required to be provided with the final
plat application.
30
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 23 of 35
Parks – The applicant proposes to meet Park and Recreation requirements through a
combination of parkland dedication and improvements-in-lieu (ILLP) of dedication. Park and
Recreation requirements using a net residential land area of 9.79 acres and maximum dedication
of 12 dwelling units per acre (8 du as land dedication and 4 du as CILP/ILLP) result in an initial
requirement of 2.35 acres of land dedication with an additional 1.18 acres of land equivalent as
cash-in-lieu/improvements-in-lieu. The appplicant proposes 2.56 acres of parkland dedication
with 0.97 acres of adjusted land equivalent as improvements-in-lieu. Phase 1 parkland dedication
consists of two parkland areas, as shown in application drawing 046 for the Sheet L 000 – Site
Plan and the Turnrow Subdivision Park Master Plan. Park 1 improvements include a pavilion for
neighborhood events and performances, lawn and picnic space, two pickle ball and two half-
basketball courts, and pathways. Park 2 will feature picnic areas and a recreational trail.
There are code provisions, listed as code provisions 19(a)-(f). Provision 19a requires the
applicant to update the cash-in-lieu (CILP) value accordingly at final plat application. This
provision ensures the CILP values used to determine IILP improvement values is based on the
most recent up to date evaluation. 19b requires a final park master plan and construction
drawings prior to requesting a preconstruction meeting. 19c requires a preconstruction meeting
with the Parks Division prior to commencement of parkland construction. These two provisions
will help the applicant to follow the correct construction process with the City. Provision 19d
requires a note on the plat that the property owners’ association is responsible for snow removal
where lots will front on the park and primary egress from private lots will be within the park.
This provision ensures maintenance of lot frontage sidewalks does not become a burden to the
Parks Department. Provision 19e requires that easements for trails located within open space
parcels must include the citywide wayfinding signage and allow Parks staff to install and/or
repair wayfinding signs. This provision will help connect the proposed trails to citywide park
infrastructure with consistent signage and directions for users. Provision 19f allows the
department to coordinate overall parkland dedication for multiphase developments. Future park
areas currently located in restricted lots 1-20 are depicted in Exhibit 6. The proposed park master
plan meets the required parkland dedication and improvement standards with conditions and
code provisions. The Parks Department reviewed the parkland proposal for consistency with the
park master plan for Turnrow Subdivision, adjacent park master plans, and area sub-plans.
Stormwater – A preliminary stormwater design report was prepared by a professional engineer
with Morrison Maierle and is located under application document 018. The subdivision will
construct stormwater control facilities to conform to municipal code and design standards Code
provision 9 details required development or maintenance of common areas and facilities to be
maintained by the property owners’ association. 9a requires the property owners’ association to
maintain all stormwater facilities outside of the public right-of-way and incorporate a
maintenance plan into the association documents prior to final plat approval. This will ensure the
proper maintenance of necessary stormwater infrastructure as the subdivision is developed and
occupied. An associated plat note is provided on preliminary pat sheet 012 to notify future
31
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 24 of 35
property owners of the property owners’ association requirements for ongoing maintenance of
these stormwater facilities.
Agricultural water user facility – The applicant provided documentation of downstream
agricultural water users and notification, in accordance with BMC 38.360.280, was provided to
those users with this preliminary plat application. There are two surface water facilities, which
are classified as both natural streams and ditches used to convey water for agricultural uses, or
“stream-ditches,” that cross the subject property. Cattail Creek has an adjacent irrigation ditch at
the northeast corner of the proposed subdivision and is the primary facility to be impacted with
this application that is linked to agricultural water use, due to the development of block 1 in
phase 1 and the required expansion of Davis Lane and associated intersection and pedestrian
infrastructure. The facility at the southwest corner of the development, known as an un-named
tributary of Buster Gulch, is to be placed within park and open space areas and no relocation or
changes to that facility are proposed at this time. Any impacts to the southwest facility are
required to be identified with subsequent subdivision review required to develop the restricted
lots adjacent to that stream-ditch. Individual users, as well as the Board of Directors for Farmers
Canal were provided notification of the proposed impacts to both stream/ditches including the
expansion of Davis Lane along Cattail Creek. An agricultural water user’s easement must be
provided per code provision 16. The easements must be prepared as documents separate from the
final plat but may be referenced on the final plat. Per code provision 10, Alterations to
agricultural water user facilities must be approved by all owners of the facility as required under
MCA 70-17-112. Documentation of the approval must be provided for the alterations of the
agricultural water user facilities prior to City infrastructure approval for the widening of Davis
Lane. Additionally, with the infrastructure submittal the applicant must identify the party
responsible for the maintenance of the culvert and provide a maintenance plan for the pipe. If an
entity other than the Owner/POA will be responsible, written approval for the design and
maintenance plan must be provided prior to scheduling of the pre-construction conference for
infrastructure improvements. The developer's professional engineer must certify, prior to final
plat approval, that the water entering and exiting the realigned or relocated agricultural water
user facility is the same quality and amount of water that entered or exited the facility prior to
realignment or relocation. These code provisions are required to ensure that downstream
agricultural water users are not impacted, and appropriate access for maintenance is provided per
state law.
Police/Fire – The City of Bozeman’s Police and Fire emergency response area includes this
subject property. The subdivision does not impact the City’s ability to provide emergency
services to the subject property. The necessary addresses will be provided to enable 911 response
to individual parcels prior to recording of the final plat. For lots subject to site plan review,
addressing will be provided following the plan review process, and are dependent on the design
and arrangement of buildings. Fire protection standards require installation of fire hydrants at
designated spacing to ensure adequate protection.
32
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 25 of 35
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation
of any necessary utilities
The final plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements. Code
requirement 16 requires that all easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately depicted
and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities are generally
located within dedicated street and alley right of ways. Easements for future roadways and parks
within restricted lot areas are required prior to final plat approval.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the
notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel
The final plat will provide legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision. All of
the proposed lots in phase 1 will have frontage on public streets, or frontage on an improved
alley and a greenway corridor or trail corridor with public access, as allowed in BMC
38.400.090. Application document 03.01 depicts how alley and greenway frontage will function.
Restricted lots 1-20 located beyond phase 1, that are not yet provided legal and physical access,
are subject to further subdivision review prior to building permit issuance.
Documentation of compliance with adopted standards 38.220.060
The Development Review Committee (DRC) completed a subdivision pre-application plan
review on September 28, 2023 and no variances were requested. No waivers were granted during
pre-application review.
Staff offers the following summary comments on the documents required with Article
38.220.060, BMC.
38.220.060.A.1 – Surface water
The subject property is bound to northeast by Cattail Creek and an unnamed stream-ditch along
the southwest and west boundary, as classified by the Gallatin County Conservation District, and
their associated wetlands. Both surface water features contain water year-round. Cattail Creek,
its adjacent irrigation ditch, and associated wetlands are proposed for alterations to accommodate
the Davis Lane road expansion, expansion of the Davis Lane and East Valley Center Road
intersection, stormwater treatment and maintenance access, and required bike and pedestrian
infrastructure. A wetland delineation report dated November 9, 2023 was provided by Morrison-
Maierle and reviewed by the city’s wetland consultant TerraQuatic. Per the wetland delineation,
the subject property contains 2,480 linear feet of waterway and 0.39 acres of palustrine emergent
wetlands. 1,010 linear feet of Cattail creek “traverses the northeast corner of the project area”
and contains 0.09 acres of fringe wetlands. The unnamed tributary of Buster Gulch is in the
southwest corner of the property and has historically been used for irrigation of the subject
property. This unnamed tributary contains 0.30 acres of fringe wetlands. No alterations to the
southwest stream-ditch are proposed at this time.
TerraQuatic provided a list of corrections for their aquatic resources analysis of the wetland and
watercourse information presented in letters provided to the applicant dated January 10, 2024,
33
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 26 of 35
February 26, 2024, June 10, 2024, and July 25, 2024 as revisions to their application were
reviewed. Initial review in January and February focused on submittal requirements and required
information for their wetland delineation and wildlife reports. Applicant responses to that letter
are located in application document 014.01. Because final impacts to Cattail Creek, its adjacent
irrigation ditch, and associated wetlands area are subject to final infrastructure review design,
which will occur following the preliminary plat review, the applicant cannot provide exact
impacts with this application. It is known that Cattail Creek is currently conveyed under Davis
Lane “via an existing 36” culvert beneath Davis Lane at the northeast portion of the property”
according to application document 015.01. After the stream crosses the northeast portion of the
property, it is “conveyed into the Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT) right-of-way
(ROW) for East Valley Center Road. Once in the MDT ROW, it is channelized and runs
northwest beneath an existing access approach to Valley Center Road via an existing 60” culvert.
After this access approach culvert, the creek continues northwest within MDT’s ROW prior to
being conveyed beneath Valley Center via two 60” diameter culverts.” Alterations to Cattail
Creek and the adjacent irrigation ditch are proposed to accommodate the widening of Davis Lane
to a 3-lane section, and a redesign of the Davis Lane and Valley Center Rd. intersection. The
applicant proposes culverts where roads are proposed to be expanded and new drive accesses and
shared use paths propose to cross the stream and the irrigation ditch. The applicant has proposed
culverts with fish resting structures near the midpoints of the culverts, and an embedded design
to “function more naturally for aquatic organisms per guidance from the Montana Fish, Wildlife,
and Parks.”
The June 10, 2024 review letter from Terraquatic identified a potential agricultural wetland
swale running north-south through the subject property and originating at the south end of the
property. The applicant investigated Terraquatic’s findings in a technical memo dated July 2024
from Morrison Maierle, which can be found in application document 014.03. The resulting field
analysis of soils, vegetation, and ground water concluded, “The targeted investigation area does
not meet USACE’s criteria to be considered a wetland.” These results were accepted in the July
25, 2024 letter from Terraquatic.
The wetland impacts are under the purview of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The applicant
intends to submit, “Joint Application for Proposed Work in Montana’s Streams, Wetlands,
Floodplains, and other Water Bodies.” Code provision 2 requires the applicant obtain required
permits from the Gallatin County Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental
Quality, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the proposed project. These permits
must be applied during infrastructure review and provided prior to construction and final plat
approval.
Water course plantings as trees, shrubs, and native grass seed will be provided for restoration and
meet BMC 38.410.100.
Per code provision 10, Alterations to agricultural water user facilities must be approved by all
owners of the facility as required under MCA 70-17-112. Documentation of the approval must
34
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 27 of 35
be provided for the alterations of the agricultural water user facilities prior to City infrastructure
approval for the widening of Davis Lane. An agricultural water user’s easement must be
provided per code provision 16. The developer's professional engineer must certify, prior to
infrastructure approval for the widening of Davis Lane and provide the certification with the
final plat application materials, that the water entering and exiting the realigned or relocated
agricultural water user facility is the same quality and amount of water that entered or exited the
facility
38.220.060.A.2 - Floodplains
A flood hazard evaluation report completed by Morrison Maierle, stamped and signed by a
professional engineer, was provided in application document 015 and is dated March, 2024. The
report details a study of a 100-year flood event completed for Cattail Creek due to the proximity
to the proposed phase 1 subdivision and the proposed alterations to accommodate transportation
infrastructure. Simulation models for a flood event were provided for existing and proposed
conditions, with only existing conditions considered for the southwest stream-ditch known as an
unnamed tributary of Buster Gulch. The resulting flood hazards were evaluated by the
Engineering Division against code requirements contained in BMC 38.600. The resulting hazard
was found to meet BMC 38.600.050. No land deemed to be subject to flooding is proposed to be
developed for new buildings, and no additional flood mitigation is required or proposed for the
phase 1 subdivision. The applicant is required to update the flood hazard evaluation report as
needed to reflect changes or refinements to the proposed subdivision and infrastructure grading
to ensure compliance with the BMC 38.600 prior to final plat approval.
38.220.060.A.3 - Groundwater
A groundwater investigation was completed May 2021 to August 2021 and provided in the
Preliminary Stormwater Design Report by Morrison Maierle and was stamped and signed by a
professional engineer. This is located in application document 018. The report found that
groundwater levels “experience seasonal variations but are generally relatively deep.” Storm
treatment structures were designed to be located above seasonal high ground water levels which
will ensure adequate “treatment volumes as required.” This report was evaluated by the
Engineering Division against code requirements in Chapter 38 and engineering design manuals
and was found to meet standards. No groundwater hazards to future residents or structures was
identified by staff, and no code provisions related to groundwater have been provided.
38.220.060.A.4 - Geology, Soils and Slopes
This subdivision will not significantly impact the geology, soils or slopes. No significant
geological features or slopes exist on the site. A geotechnical investigation report was provided
by Rawhide Engineering Inc. and has been stamped and signed by a professional engineer
registered in the State of Montana and reviewed by the Engineering Division for compliance
with City standards.

This subdivision will not significantly impact vegetation. No critical plant communities
identified on site.
38.220.060.A.6 - Wildlife
This subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife. There are no known critical habitats on
the property or observed or mapped threatened or endangered species. The property is bound by
East Valley Center Road, Interstate 90, and industrial development to the north, agricultural uses
to the south, subdivided residential development to the west, and mixed residential and
commercial development to the east. The aquatic resources on the property have been impacted
by agricultural crop production and are used for irrigation water supply. The applicant provided a
technical memo from Morrison Maierle, prepared environmental by scientists originally dated
February 8, 2023, and updated October 2023 and July 2024.
38.220.060.A.7 - Agriculture
This subdivision will not impact agriculture. The site is historically used for irrigated crops and
most recently planted with malt barley per the applicant’s submittal. No continuance of
agricultural activities is proposed as the subdivision is developed through current and future
phasing. The subject property is designated as urban neighborhood according to the 2020
Bozeman Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential, commercial, and mixed uses under
the REMU zoning designation. The subject property is surrounding by unannexed residential
development to the west and state highways to the north. Adjacent agricultural uses to the south
require the applicant to include a section in future property owner’s association documents
addressing agricultural uses of neighboring properties in the following form: "Lot owners and
residents of the subdivision are informed that adjacent uses may be agricultural. Lot owners
accept and are aware that standard agricultural and farming practices can result in dust, animal
odors and noise, smoke, flies, and machinery noise. Standard agricultural practices feature the
use of heavy equipment, chemical sprays and the use of machinery early in the morning and
sometimes late into the evening."
38.220.060.A.8 - Agricultural Water User Facilities
See discussion above under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.9 - Water and Sewer

under primary review criteria.
36
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 29 of 35
38.220.060.A.11 - Streets, Roads and Alleys
The subdivision will not significantly impact the City’s street infrastructure and will provide
adequate improvements to support the proposed development and nearby areas by improving
adjacent principal and minor arterial streets, enhancing multi-modal transportation, and
providing local street access to proposed developable lots.
Five local streets are proposed within phase 1 of the subdivision. Quicksilver Road and
Gunsmoke Avenue are two north-south running local streets proposed with the subdivision.
Turnrow Trail, Durango Lane, and Westlake Road are the proposed east-west running local
streets. Westlake Road at the far south end and Davis Lane along the eastern boundary of the
subject property are proposed as modified or custom street sections to accommodate adjacent
unannexed property and the Cattail Creek watercourse. This design process was reviewed under
the authority of the Director of Transportation and Engineering per BMC 38.200.010.F for
modifications to the City’s street improvement standards in BMC 38.400.010. Improvements to
Davis Lane and East Valley Center Road are also required and proposed with the subdivision as
off-site improvements. East Valley Center Road is a Montana Department of Transportation
(MDT) urban route. Design of the East Valley Center Road improvements including the phase 1
proposed approaches, future approaches, a new traffic signal at the intersection with Davis Lane,
and a shared use path have been designed with input and preliminary approval from MDT which
can be found under application document 011.06. This preliminary approval letter requires final
design and traffic mitigations prior to final approval. Code provision 11 requires final approval
and permitting from MDT prior to installation and final plat approval.
Phasing of infrastructure is detailed in the project narrative located under application document
001 beginning on page 9. Phase 1.1 lists required street and road improvements for concurrent
construction, and required improvements prior to final plat approval that may be financially
guaranteed. The narrative also lists street and road extensions required for phases 1.2-1.4. No
concurrent construction infrastructure is proposed with phases 1.2-1.4 and all improvements
listed will be completed prior to final plat approval except where sidewalks are located adjacent
to individual lots and are the responsibility of the individual property owner at the time of
purchase, and landscaping of public lands to accommodate seasonality.
A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) dated April 2023, stamped and signed by a professional engineer,
was provided and evaluated by the reviewing engineer for compliance with adopted design
standards and code requirements.
38.220.060.A.12 – Non-Municipal Utilities
The applicant has received confirmation of future service connections from Northwestern
Energy, Charter, CenturyLink, and Yellowstone Fiber for the proposed subdivision. These
responses are provided under application document 037.01.
37
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 30 of 35
38.220.060.A.13 - Land Use
The application has provided future land use data consistent with the REMU zoning district.
Proposed land uses for the subdivision are primarily residential in the form of 1-4 household
(single detached, duplex, triplex, and four-plexes) on individual lots, townhouses and rowhouses,
and multi-household (multi-family). Exhibit 7 shows proposed uses over the entire subdivision.
Block 1 is intended for mixed use and commercial development and is included in phase 1.
Blocks 7, 14, and 20 along Valley Center Road are proposed as multi-household and are
currently restricted development lots subject to further subdivision review. 1-4 household and
townhouse/rowhouse development is proposed in blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 with phase 1.
Future phases in restricted development lots to the west of phase 1 are currently proposed as
single household detached and attached (1-4 household). Development of lots within the
subdivision will be subject to Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) provisions at the time of
development for REMU Zoning.
38.220.060.A.14 - Parks and Recreation Facilities
The proposed subdivision will provide new parkland, and cash or improvements-in-lieu of
parkland dedication. The proposal meets the required park dedication and improvement
standards with conditions and code provisions. The Parks Department reviewed the parkland
proposal also see the discussion above.
38.220.060.A.15 - Neighborhood Center Plan
To provide a neighborhood focal point, all residential subdivisions that are ten net acres in size
or greater, must have a neighborhood center. The neighborhood center proposed for the phase 1
subdivision is the park located in block 3 on the plat. This park is located within 600 feet from
the geographic center point of the phase 1 development. Future phases of the subdivision
currently platted as restricted lots will develop additional neighborhood centers with future
subdivision applications. The park is proposed with street frontage on 3 sides which meets the
50-100% frontage requirement. Direct pedestrian access to the park is available via the street and
sidewalk network proposed with the subdivision layout. The neighborhood center is also located
adjacent to block 1 proposed with mixed and commercial uses, which may further enhance
neighborhood identify with the availability of goods and services in close proximity to a public
space.
38.220.060.A.16 - Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required pursuant to BMC 38.570.030. All street lights installed
must use LED light heads and must conform to the City’s requirement for cut-off shields as
required by the City’s specifications. A Special Improvement Lighting District (SILD) must be
created prior to final plat application. Code provision 13 is related to this issue.
38
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 31 of 35
38.220.060.A.17 - Miscellaneous
The proposed subdivision is not located within 200 feet of any public land access or within a
delineated Wildland Urban Interface area. No health or safety hazards on-site or off-site will be
created with this development.
38.220.060.A.19 - Affordable Housing
This application does not rely on incentives authorized in 38.380. Therefore, no analysis is
required.
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed Use. The intent of the
REMU district is to establish areas within Bozeman that are mixed-use in character and to
provide options for a variety of housing, employment, retail and neighborhood service
opportunities within a new or existing neighborhood. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Emphasizing residential as the primary use, including single household dwellings, two to
four household dwellings, townhouses, and apartments.
2. Providing for a diverse array of neighborhood-scaled commercial and civic uses
supporting residential.
3. Emphasizing a vertical and horizontal mix of uses in a compact and walkable
neighborhood setting.
4. Promoting neighborhoods that:
a. Create self-sustaining neighborhoods that will lay the foundation for healthy
lifestyles;
b. Support compact, walkable developments that promote balanced transportation
options;
c. Have residential as the majority use with a range of densities;
d. Provide for a diverse array of commercial and civic uses supporting residential;
e. Have residential and commercial uses mixed vertically and/or horizontally;
f. Locate commercial uses within walking distance;
g. Incorporate a wider range of housing types; and
h. Encourage developments that exhibit the physical design characteristics of
vibrant, urban, and pedestrian-oriented complete streets.
5. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize a sense of place:
a. Support or add to an existing neighborhood context;
b. Enhance an existing neighborhood's sense of place and strive to make it more
self-sustainable;
c. Encourage a new neighborhood commercial center(s) with a unique identity and
strong sense of place;
39
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 32 of 35
d. Develop commercial and mixed-use areas that are safe, comfortable, and
attractive to pedestrians; and
e. Reinforce the principle of streets as public places that encourage pedestrian and
bicycle travel, transit, on-street parking and physical elements of complete streets.
6. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize natural amenities:
a. Preserve and integrate the natural amenities into the development; and
b. Appropriately balance a hierarchy of both parks and public spaces that are within
the neighborhood.
7. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize the development of centers:
a. Group uses of property to create vibrant centers;
b. Where appropriate create a center within an existing neighborhood;
c. Facilitate proven, market driven projects to ensure both long and short-term
financial viability;
d. Allow an appropriate blend of complementary mixed land uses including, but not
limited to, retail, offices, commercial services, restaurants, bars, hotels, recreation
and civic uses, and housing, to create economic and social vitality;
e. Foster the master plan development into a mix of feasible, market driven uses;
f. Emphasize the need to serve the adjacent, local neighborhood and as well as the
greater Bozeman area; and
g. Maximize land use efficiency by encouraging shared use parking.
8. Promoting the integration of action:
a. Support existing infrastructure that is within and adjacent to REMU zones;
b. Encourage thoughtfully developed master planned communities;
c. Provide flexibility in the placement and design of new developments and
redevelopment to anticipate changes in the marketplace;
d. Provide flexibility in phasing to help ensure both long and short term financial
viability for the project as a whole;
9. Providing standards and guidelines that promote sustainable design
Use of this zone is appropriate for sites at least five acres in size and areas located adjacent to an
existing or planned residential area to help sustain commercial uses within walking distance and
a wider range of housing types. The proposed subdivision is appropriate for this zone because of
the proposed pedestrian amenities, enhancement of the natural environment within parks and
open spaces, and the development of a variety of lot sizes that will allow for varying densities
and uses. A neighborhood commercial center is planned adjacent to a public park, which will
enhance the neighborhood sense of plac.
Per BMC 38.310.060.B a master site plan is required for REMU zoned properties greater than or
equal to five acres in size prior to development. A master site plan application, under application
number 23341 is in review with the Department of Community Development. REMU zoned
properties will be required to meet all zoning criteria for this district intended to achieve the
40
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 33 of 35
purpose of the district described above including but not limited to BMC 38.310.060 –
Supplemental use provisions, and BMC 38.330.020 – REMU district special standards.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 shows the correlation between future land use
map designations and implementing zoning districts. (See below for the Table)
The subject property is designated as Urban Neighborhood. This category primarily includes
urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single
41
23366 Staff Report for Turnrow Subdivision Page 34 of 35
type of housing are discouraged. In limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross
density due to site constraints and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes.
Complementary uses such as parks, home-based occupations, fire stations, churches, schools,
and some neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for community gathering and
services. The Urban Neighborhood designation indicates that development is expected to occur
within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior to development. Applying a
zoning district to specific parcels sets the required and allowed density. Higher density
residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not required or restricted to, proximity to
commercial mixed-use areas to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities
without requiring the use of a car.
This proposed subdivision is well suited to implement the Urban Neighborhood designation by
providing residential and commercial development in varying building forms and intensities
along two busy arterial corridors. The proposed subdivision is also planning pedestrian amenities
across the park, trail, and open space system that will allow access to planned neighborhood
commercial uses, and the park neighborhood center. The greater area to the east of the
subdivision, within a half mile to a mile, contains a regional commercial center with access to
medical treatment, shopping, groceries, and other services. Density and individual uses will be
evaluated at the time of development against the REMU zoning requirements.
The proposed subdivision meets the following Bozeman Community Plan 2020 goals:
N-1 Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods.
N-1.5 Encourage neighborhood focal point development with functions, activities, and facilities
that can be sustained over time. Maintain standards for placement of community focal points and
services with new development.
N-1.9 Ensure multimodal connections between adjacent developments.
N-1.10 Increase connectivity between parks and neighborhoods through continued trail and
sidewalk development. Prioritize closing gaps within the network.
DCD-1.9 Promote mixed-use developments with access to parks, open space, and transit options.
DCD 2.2 Support higher density development along main corridors and at high visibility street
corners to accommodate population growth and support businesses.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Nicholas Ross, Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:FY26-30 Transportation Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan
MEETING DATE:November 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Perform duties of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:The city of Bozeman is required by charter to maintain an annual 5-yr Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) for all Impact Fee funds, including Transportation
(Streets). The Department of Transportation and Engineering, in
collaboration with the Impact Fee Manager and Finance Department, are
responsible for drafting the annual plan. The Community Development
Board, in their role as Impact Fee Advisory Committee, oversees the annual
plan for compliance to Bozeman Municipal Code and recommends the plan
for approval.
Street Impact Fees are collected by the city at the time a building permit is
issued and calculated such that the fees are proportional to the additional
trip demand a development induces. Fees may only be used on capacity
expanding street infrastructure and cannot fund any maintenance or
reconstruction of existing infrastructure. The city typically pairs each Impact
Fee project with a "local share" contribution from the Arterial & Collector
District in order to maintain statutory compliance.
Staff held a work session with the Board on August 19, 2024 to discuss policy
direction for selection of Street Impact Fee projects. Staff has aligned
projects with goals of infill connectivity, support of housing creation, and
multimodal safety and capacity.
The proposed FY26-30 Street Impact Fee CIP totals approximately $29.3
million impact fee projects. This represents an overall reduction of $47.6
million from the FY25-29 CIP. This substantial reduction is due to receiving
approximately $25 million in grant funding for the Kagy Boulevard
Reconstruction project and the decision not to schedule any Impact Fee
projects in 2030 at this time.
44
New projects added to the CIP include completing the final portion of Oak St
from 27th to 19th including signal modifications (FY29) and utilizing Impact
Fees to improve capacity and safety at the intersection of Oak and Ferguson
(FY26) by adding dedicated left turn lanes and protected signal phasing.
One project, Babcock from 11th to 15th, has been removed from the CIP
while alternative funding is sought. Conceptual design and public
engagement for the current Babcock project from 15th to 19th indicates that
lane addition is unlikely from 11th to 15th, therefor, the project will not have
capacity-adding elements for which Impact Fees can be used.
CIP Project Pages for all transportation funds have been provided for
contextual review, however, the Board's review authority will be limited to
Impact Fee projects.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:None identified or recommended.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None, funding is not obligated until annual budget approval.

The Streets Division currently has eight tandem axle dump trucks which are used to plow and sand arterials & collectors, haul asphalt during paving operations, haul leaves, haul waste from camping sites, haul snow, tow equipment trailers, and perform general street maintenance. The City targets plowing and sanding by 8am after a winter storm event and can typically serve 100 miles per route. It requires eight tandem axle dump trucks to currently meet this goal. With the widening of multiple collectors & arterials and additional lane mileage added in the City, the Division has a need for larger tandem axle trucks to finish plow & sanding routines in the future. Tandem axle trucks are also able to haul twice as much asphalt as a single axle truck which cuts down on the number of trips to the asphalt plant.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Shawn Kohtz, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT:Staff Recommendations for Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026-2030
MEETING DATE:November 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Staff Recommendations for Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026-2030.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:City staff provide the recommendations outlined here to the Community
Development Board and City Manager for Water and Wastewater Impact
Fee Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
The proposed FY26-30 CIP total five-year WIF & WWIF fund amounts are
approximately $36.7 million and $44.6 million, respectively.
Funds from the City's water and wastewater enterprise funds or from public-
private partnerships will be used as appropriate to provide the non-capacity
expanding "local share" portion of project funding, so the impact fee funds
are used solely for capacity expanding projects.
Inflationary costs in utilities construction have increased local construction
costs ranging from 53% to 78% between 2019 and 2023 for water and sewer
utilities, respectively. Although, construction costs in 2024 appear to have
stabilized relative to prior years.
Staff anticipates targeting both State and Federal infrastructure funding,
largely through the Montana State Revolving Fund Loan Program, to
supplement impact fees and utility rates, as the City continues to
aggressively grow. The 5-yr CIP serves as a planning timeline needed by staff
to know what funding sources to target and when. If additional funding
support is not found, specific projects may be pushed further out or moved
into the unscheduled timeframe as the 5-yr CIP progresses.
Staff recommendations for the FY26-30 CIP focused on selecting projects
that deliver the highest value to our residents, current and future. Projects
109
were identified on the ability to support growth and maintain a consistent
level of service across the community, which helps strengthen the City's
goals of affordability and housing creation.
Full descriptions of the FY26-30 WIF and WWIF CIPs are provided in the
Attachments titled Wastewater Impact Fee Fund and Water Impact Fee
Fund. Project highlights are described as follows:
Wastewater Impact Fee Projects
WW129 and WW131 – Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Base
Hydraulic Phase 1 and Phase 2 upgrades: These projects are a capacity
upgrade to the water reclamation facility to accommodate growth.
These projects represent a majority of the proposed wastewater
impact fee fund CIP. Recent cost estimates from the City’s design
consultant increase these project costs by approximately $3.9 million
total over last year’s CIP primarily due to concrete construction cost
increases in Montana. This project is defined in the City’s Water
Reclamation Facilities Plan (2023).
WWIF53 – Cottonwood Road Sewer Capacity: This project will connect
an existing interceptor sewer main from the intersection of Babcock
and Cottonwood south across Huffine Lane allowing significant area
south of Huffine to be opened to sanitary sewer service and allowing
for new development in this area. This project is defined in the City’s
Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan (2015), and this investment will
help realize the recent investment in the Davis Lane Lift Station. This
project is generally illustrated in Figure 2. This project is proposed to
be moved back to fiscal year 29 (design) and fiscal year 30
(construction) from fiscal year 26 construction to accommodate a
proposed higher priority project. The proposed higher priority project
is titled WWIF63 – Gooch Hill Lift Station.
WWIF58 – Fowler Sewer Upgrade: This project will construct sanitary
sewer within the future Fowler Road corridor project constructed via
the Street Impact Fee and Arterial and Collector District capital
projects. This project provides the sewer to be constructed concurrent
with the Fowler Road project to provide sewer capacity increase and
combine project timing for the most efficient construction and least
disruption to the community in the future. The existing sanitary sewer
main in the Fowler alignment is approaching capacity due to growth
impacting the line. The project is defined in the City’s Wastewater
Collection Facilities Plan.
WWIF63 – Gooch Hill Lift Station: This project consists of a new sewer
pump “lift” station in the northwest corner of the community as
defined in the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Plan. This lift
station would provide sewer service to approximately 2,000 acres of
land as a first project phase with a buildout service area of
approximately 5,000 acres with subsequent phases. Recently
proposed annexations totaling approximately 580 acres of land
110
consisting of multiple properties would be served by this lift station.
Also, development proposed to annex in the service area of this lift
station is anticipated to have a public-private partnership contribution
to support initial project cost with cost recovery by development using
impact fee credits. Without the lift station, there is no sewer service to
the far northwest corner of the community. Given the proposed
annexations, this project is recommended to be prioritized over
WWIF53 – Cottonwood Road Sewer Capacity with design in fiscal
years 2026 and 2027 followed by construction in fiscal year 2028.
Subsequently, the Cottonwood Road Sewer Capacity project is
proposed moved back in the CIP.
WWIF138 – MSU Interceptor Improvements: Old sanitary sewer mains
serving MSU as well as the core of the City south of Main Street must
be upgraded to provide increased capacity and reliability of existing
service. This project accommodates growth at MSU, infill development
south of Main Street, and growth immediately south of MSU.
WWIF20 – N Frontage Interceptor: This project consists of increasing
capacity by constructing parallel sewer main along much of the
existing sewer route along the frontage road north of the freeway. This
interceptor serves the central, east, and south portions of the City
including MSU. Staff are closely monitoring this interceptor to
determine exact timeframe to upgrade the sewer. If the project can be
pushed back in the CIP in order to delay the project expense, pending
ongoing flow monitoring, it will be moved back in future CIPs. This
project is defined in the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Plan.
WWIF44 – WRF Interceptor: This project consists of upgrading the
capacity of the sewer pipe in Springhill Road from the frontage road to
the Water Reclamation Facility. This pipe serves the entire City. Similar
to WWIF20, staff are closely monitoring this interceptor to determine
exact timeframe to upgrade the sewer. If the project can be pushed
back in the CIP in order to delay the project expense, pending ongoing
flow monitoring, it will be moved back in future CIPs. This project is
defined in the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Plan.
Other projects: The remaining projects in the wastewater impact fee
CIP consist of pipe oversizing payments where developers are required
to oversize pipe to accommodate future development per the City’s
Wastewater Collection Facility Plan. In those cases, the City
reimburses the developer for costs beyond the minimum required
installation to serve a development. Other projects also include
several small pipe capacity projects that are recommended by the
draft Wastewater Collection Facility Plan Update (2024).
Water Impact Fee Projects
WIF33 – Municipal Test Well & Mitigation System Exploration
Program: This project consists of planning, design, and drilling for a
municipal test well exploration program to drill test wells at various
111
locations in and around the City, informed by previous groundwater
investigation phase work, to incrementally develop a municipal
groundwater supply that eventually achieves the groundwater target
contained in the Integrated Water Resources Plan.
WIF32 – Municipal Groundwater Public Water Supply & Mitigation
System Infrastructure: This project consists of obtaining land in fee or
easement, design, and construction of a municipal public water supply
well and attendant infrastructure to connect the municipal well as part
of the City's overall municipal water supply system. This project is
contingent on successful test well drilling defined in Project WIF33.
This project is aligned with the City’s Integrated Water Resources Plan.
WIF59 – Western Transmission Main/New South Pressure Zone: This
project is identified as the Western Transmission Main in the 2017
Water Facility Plan and would result in a new water pressure zone on
the south side of current city limits and allow for water service to this
area. Funding in the 5-year plan would be for Phase 1 design and
construction, with subsequent phases funded outside of the 5-year
window of the CIP; although, there is currently a study underway to
better define project options and phasing that may result in lower
phase 1 costs. Phase 1 consists of new transmission main running on
the hydraulic grade line from the sourdough water treatment plant
tank to connect to the southwestern edge of the existing distribution
network (S. 19th and Graf Street) to serve future anticipated growth.
WIF60 – West Sourdough Reservoir #1: This project is identified as
5125 west Sourdough Reservoir 1 within the City's Water Facility Plan
and consists of planning, design, and construction of a new 5 million-
gallon gravity fed ground storage reservoir to the south/southwest of
the City, which would tie into the west water transmission main -
phase 1 (WIF59) and serve the existing City water distribution system.
Budget in FY29 is for planning, design, and land or easement
acquisition. There is currently a study underway to further define the
timing for this infrastructure.
WIF68 – Stucky Water Improvements: Construct a water main in
Stucky Road concurrent with the S. 19th to Fowler Ave street impact
fee project.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project provides funding for the City to conduct a municipal test well and mitigation system exploration program to drill test wells and identify mitigation
options at various locations in and around the City, informed by previous groundwater investigation phase work, to incrementally develop a municipal
groundwater supply that eventually achieves the groundwater target of 5,810 acre-feet contained in the 2013 Integrated Water Resources Plan.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The City's unallocated water supply is quickly being used up by new development. This project is essential to providing additional capacity for growth in the 8-
10 year timeframe. Given the timeframe for water rights permitting potentially being 3-5 years, this work must be advanced now to align with the timeframe
for water supply needs.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Project cost has been reduced from $1.6 million to $750K, removing the full municipal well design. The City’s original well design project contemplated
constructing a well at the Sports Park, but the test well at the Sports Park produced only 20% of the desired quantity. As a result, more test wells need to be
drilled at other locations throughout the City. The overall cost of the original CIP item “municipal well design” will be greater than this value, but it cannot be
determined until additional test wells are drilled and project further defined.

Advanced Dr to Laurel Parkway, and a new 12" water main on Laurel Parkway from Huffine to Mayfly Street per recommendations in the Water Facility Plan
Update (FP_2241, FP_2464,V8062) supporting the urban farms development.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays will result in a missed opportunity to partner with development. Development pays for local share of improvements with oversizing funding support
from the City for regional water system development.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project consists of water main and pressure reducing valve oversizing for development project consistent with the City’s Water Facility Plan and the
approved development plan. Public, private parternship for infrastructure construction allows for development to construct local share while City provides
oversizing funding for future growth per the water impact fee program. This is a cost effective way of building infrastructure for future growth.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Without oversizing funding from the City’s Water Impact Fee program to match private development timeframe, future pipe size increases will be much more
expensive than oversizing the pipe at the original construction of the pipe also allowing the full useful life (80-120 years) of the pipe to be achived before being
replaced with a larger capacity pipe.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The best estimates of the Turnrow Subdivision project phasing have been incorporated in anticipated construction years to match phased subdivision
improvements. The City does not control the timing of these improvements, so the CIP costs and timing will need to be modified as the development proceeds
to match the actual development timeframes.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is contingent upon obtaining a municipal groundwater water right permit from Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (MT
DNRC) and consists of but is not limited to the following major elements: obtaining land in fee or easement necessary to implement the mitigation plan and
construct mitigation infrastructure approved with the municipal water right permit approved by MT DNRC; design, Department of Environmental Quality
approval, and construction of a municipal public water supply well and attendant infrastructure to connect, operate and maintain the municipal well as part of
the City's overall municipal water supply system. Attendant infrastructure may include but is not limited to: water disinfection and treatment processes, a
building to house the well and treatment equipment, power, backup generator power, instrumentation and controls, site improvements, a transmission main
to tie groundwater supply into the existing system, water storage, and hydraulic controls.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The City's unallocated water supply is being used up by new development. This project will help provide additional capacity for growth in the 8-10 year
timeframe. Given the timeframe for water rights permitting potentially being 3-5 years, this work must be advanced now to align with the timeframe for water
supply needs.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
An overall cost reduction from $11.3 million to $10 million is a result of more recent planning level cost estimate from the City’s selected groundwater
engineering consultant. . The project has been split between two fiscal years, with $1 million in FY27 for design, and $9 million in FY28 for construction.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is identified as the Western Transmission Main in the 2017 water facility plan. Funding in the 5-year plan would be for Phase 1 design and
construction, with subsequent phases funded outside of the 5-year window totalling $40 million. Phase 1 consists of new transmission main running on the
hydraulic grade line from the sourdough water treatment plant tank to connect to the southwestern edge of the existing distribution network (S. 19th and Graf
Street) to serve future anticipated growth. Project scope will be further defined with the ongoing South Pressure Zone Pre-Design and WTP Facility Plan project
including identification of quantity and location of hydraulic controls valves to connect the new pressure zone to the existing system.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delay of this work will limit growth in the south and southwestern portions of the community not within the existing water pressure zones capable of serving
those areas.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The updated plan includes project design phase in FY29 and Ph 1 construction will begin in FY30. This plan allows time to complete the South Pressure Zone Pre-
Design and WTP Facility Plan projects which will further inform scope of the PH1 project and provide for potential development of a public/private partnership
to fund this infrastructure.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Hydraulic capacity improvements for the existing treatment processes employed at the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) are necessary to meet the 20-year
planning horizon of the facility. The anticipated 20-year flow rate is 14.6 million-gallons-per-day (mgd) average daily design flow identified in the 2022 WRF
Facilities Plan. The existing WRF average day design capacity is 8.5 mgd. The 2022 WRF Facilities Plan identifies existing process improvements necessary to
increase the base hydraulic capacity to 14.6 mgd and when these improvements are needed. A phased approach is called for, since some process elements have
more current available capacity than others. Base hydraulic capacity improvements are intended to maintain the current treated effluent performance levels of
the WRF and are not designed to further reduce effluent nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations. Phase 1 base hydraulic capacity improvements
identified in the 2022 WRF facilities plan update include the construction of a 4th anaerobic digester, uv disinfection capacity additions, piloting of indense™
process to enhance and optimize existing bioreactor phosphorous removal, and full-scale installation of indense™ process after piloting. This project also includes
renovation of existing lined solids piping restricted by struvite. Struvite accumulates in pipes at water reclamation facilities over time and restricts flow of
materials in those pipes.
The total project cost is expected to be $10,730,000ncluding $9,122,400which will be spent prior to the capital planning period 2026-2030.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Growth of the City will be limited until WRF capacity is increased.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Gooch Hill Lift Station is defined in the City's Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan to serve the northwestern and western edge of the City. Two potential
developments are looking to annex into the City. One property is 160 acres at the northwest corner of Baxter and Cottonwood. The Second development is
approximately 430 acres north of Cottonwood and west of Harper Pucket Road. Both properties need the Gooch Hill Lift Station in order to provide sanitary
sewer service to the area. Both developers will need to provide up-front capital funding to fund the project in addition to potential funding from the City's
impact fee program with potential reimbursement via impact fee credits. The proposed costs provide one of two phases to construct the Gooch Hill Lift Station
to reduce up-front costs. The Gooch Hill Lift Station will also open sanitary sewer service to many properties along the western boundary of the City.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Growth within the service area of the Gooch Hill Lift Station along the western portion of the City can not occur until the sewer infrastructure to serve the area
is constructed.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This project is new to the capital plan. This project is under development as a potential public-private partnership. If the partnership does not develop, this
project will not advance. In the case this project does not advance, the Cottonwood Road Sewer project will be accelerated with design in FY26 and construction
in FY27.

STRATEGIC PLAN, IF APPLICABLE
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will construct a 24-inch sanitary sewer main in conjunction with Fowler Road construction project. Sewer main construction will occur from Oak to
Durston. This work was initially thought to be 100% capacity expanding as the original pipe was going to be left in place. Given the latest iteration of the design,
the existing pipe will be abandoned, so a portion of this project is now in the wastewater fund.
Total project cost: 1,134,100
Design (FY25): $145,600
Construction and Construction Administration (FY26): $988,500 (60.6% wastewater fund and 39.4% wastewater impact fee fund totals split over 2 years
matching the capacity upgrade of the sewer construction work).
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If not constructed simultaneous with the Fowler Road Street Impact Fee project, this sanitary sewer must be constructed in the next 5 years, which would
subsequently damage new pavement associated with the Fowler Road Project and be much more expensive to construct. The sewer main is necessary to
accommodate redevelopment growth in the south and central parts of the City. If not constructed, growth will be restricted in those parts of the City until the
sewer capacity in this area is upgraded.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET

capacity improvements identified in the 2022 WRF Facilities Plan include the construction of two new secondary clarifiers, upgrade of the existing bioreactor
number1 by retrofitting to a 5-stage bardenpho process, and the addition of one aeration blower.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Growth will be limited until WRF capacity is increased.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A critical section of existing sewer main begins on Kagy Blvd and Hoffman Drive as a 10-inch diameter asbestos concrete pipe and continues north through
Mason, Wilson Ave, College, 4th Avenue, and finally ending on 6th Ave. Once the sewer main reaches Olive Street, the diameter increases to 18-inches (diameter)
in size. Portions of the existing main have been identified as high-risk given both the condition and age of the existing pipe. In addition, the City’s hydraulic
model has shown that several segments of the sanitary sewer main are at or very near hydraulic capacity during wet weather modeling scenarios. This project
includes both the replacement and upsizing of approximately 10,250-feet of existing sanitary sewer main. Overall, the project will provide the necessary
improvements needed to increase system capacity to meet future build-out conditions while decreasing overall risk associated with critical aging infrastructure.
The project was recommended to occur within the City’s 5-year short-term planning horizon in conformance with the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility
Master Plan.
Total project cost from Wastewater Impact Fee Fund and Wastewater Fund: $5,768,700 |Engineering (FY26): $836,800

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City asks developers to oversize sanitary sewer mains consistent with the City’s Wastewater Collection Facilities Master Plan as developers construct their
projects. The developers are responsible for the minimum pipe size required by their development, and the City reimburses developers for oversized pipes that
will accommodate future growth through the wastewater impact fee program. This is a way to proactively construct the sanitary sewer system to accommodate
growth such that pipes aren’t constantly excavated and replaced with larger mains each time a new development is constructed. Pipe oversizing also serves as
a public-private partnership and provides a highly cost efficient means of building sewer mains to accommodate future growth.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The consequences of delaying the project include losing high level of cost efficiency of public/private partnership associated with pipe oversizing to
accommodate future development. It is much more efficient to pay for pipe oversizing when the original pipeline is being constructed instead of increasing the
pipe size at a later date and with significant disruption to the public.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will either replace and upsize, or parallel certain portions of the sanitary sewer along the 11,500 feet length of the existing North Frontage Road
Interceptor. The North Frontage Road Interceptor supports large portions of the City’s southeast and eastern sewersheds. The extents of the project are
generally located between Springhill road and Bridger drive. Portions of the interceptor have been shown to have an increased risk of failure due to the age and
condition of the asset while other segments have been identified in the City’s hydraulic model to be approaching hydraulic capacity during wet weather modeling
scenarios. The project consists of two main components: first, the replacement of existing parallel trunk sewer, which includes the replacement and upsizing of
the worst condition parallel interceptor main; second, the installation of a new parallel interceptor main along portions of the existing interceptor that currently
only have a single segment of main. Overall, the project will provide the necessary improvements needed to increase system capacity to meet future build-out
conditions, while decreasing overall risk along the interceptor corridor. Lastly, the existing interceptor main that is not mitigated as part of the project will be
inspected for current condition and either replaced or rehabilitated at a later date, thus using the City’s existing assets to their full expected life-cycle. The
project conforms to the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Master Plan Update.

Plan Update – Public Hearing
MEETING DATE:November 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Consider the motion: “Having considered the draft update to the
wastewater collection system facility plan, all public comment, and
information received, I move to recommend approval of the draft as
submitted.”
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The Wastewater Facility Plan Update (WWFPU) is a comprehensive master
plan of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. The plan includes
characterization of wastewater flows, evaluation of collection system
performance, identification of system deficiencies, and development of a
comprehensive capital improvement plan to address near-term and long-
term system needs.
The intent of the WWFPU is to meet the City’s strategic plan by fostering a
well-planned City, prioritizing capital improvements for existing and new
infrastructure, and ultimately helps guide sewer utility funds to the right
project at the right time.
Moreover, the City’s unified development code incorporates the wastewater
facility plan by reference and requires that any wastewater system
expansions be completed in conformance with the wastewater facility plan
recommendations.
The draft Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update can be found
on the cities website.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the Community Development Board.
143
FISCAL EFFECTS:The Wastewater Facility Plan does not authorize appropriation and therefore
has no direct fiscal effect. However, the plan guides efficient infrastructure
investment and serves to inform capital improvement plan decisions
associated with sanitary sewer infrastructure. The plan also guides
infrastructure configuration by new development.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS TO CONSIDER THE CITY OF BOZEMAN WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM FACILITY PLAN UPDATE.
What: The City of Bozeman gives notice of public hearings to consider the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update. Periodically, the City undertakes a comprehensive planning effort to help guide system improvements so that adequate service is provid-ed to the growing community. These planning efforts are re-ferred to as Facility Plans.
The Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan is intend-ed to serve as the principal framework for capital improve-ment planning and budgeting and provide City staff with near-term and long-range planning improvements sur-rounding the City’s collection system. Details are provided below. The draft of the Waste-water Collection System Facil-ity Plan Update can be found at the following website.
https://www.bozeman.net/departments/transportation-engineering/engineering/wastewater-facility-plan-update
Why: The City of Bozeman owns and operates a waste-water collection system serv-ing its residents, businesses and industry. The City contin-ues to experience rapid growth with an average estimated an-nual population growth of 4% over the past 15 years. This growth and aging infrastruc-ture present many challenges to maintaining, operating, and expanding the wastewater collection system. The pre-vious Wastewater Collection Facility Plan was completed in 2015. Since the 2015 Waste-water Facility Plan, many of the improvements identified in the Facility Plan have been completed. As the community continues to grow and exist-ing infrastructure ages, the wastewater collection system hydraulic model and reference planning documents require a comprehensive update to en-sure the City can continue to meet its level of service and accommodate growth.
The City encourages early public participation during development and adoption of plans and regulations. The re-cent Montana Land Use Plan-ning Act further emphasizes public involvement during the policy-making stage rather than during development per-mitting. The Act includes a new requirement that limits the scope of and opportu-nity for public participation; and comment on site-spe-cific development in sub-stantial compliance with the land use plan must be lim-ited to only those impacts or significantly increased impacts that were not pre-viously identified and con-sidered in the adoption, amendment, or update of the land use plan, zoning regulations, or subdivision regulations. The Wastewa-ter Collection System Facility Plan Update is an issue plan as described in the Montana Land use Planning Act. The updated plan may be the ba-sis for regulations or project review after adoption.
When and Who: On Monday, October 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the Community De-velopment Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission and Planning Board (Planning Commis-sion) will hold an introductory public meeting regarding the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update, in the Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N. Rouse Ave. Bozeman MT. Remote elec-tronic participation may also be available. Instructions for participating remotely will be included on the meeting agen-da. The agenda is available in the Events portion of the City’s website at https://www.bozeman.net/home at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
On Monday, November 4, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the Com-munity Development Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission and Planning Board (Planning Commission) will conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony and con-sider a recommendation on the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update, in the Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N. Rouse Ave. Bozeman MT. Remote elec-tronic participation may also be available. Instructions for participating remotely will be included on the meeting agen-da. The agenda is available in the Events portion of the City’s website at https://www.bozeman.net/home at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
Separate notice will be provid-ed for public hearings before the City Commission.
How: The Wastewater Col-lection System Facility Plan Update will be implemented by resolution by the City Com-mission after receiving a rec-ommendation from the Com-munity Development Board, considering public comments, and considering consisten-cy with the adopted land use plan, Bozeman Community Plan 2020.
The public may comment orally at the public hearings or in writing at or prior to the public hearings regarding compliance of this application with the required content and process established in the Montana Land Use Planning Act, 76-25-207 and 76-25-215, MCA. Comments should identify the specific criteria or subject of concern along with facts in support of the com-ment.
During the notice period the City will continue to review the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update draft in response to public comments, and provide analysis of criteria and comments.
The Community Development Board must provide a recom-mendation on the draft. As part of their recommendation, they may suggest changes from what is initially included in the public review draft.
The City Commission will also hold a public hearing to consider the Wastewater Col-lection System Facility Plan Update. The City Commission may act to approve, modify, or reject the proposed update or continue the public hearing to another date. The City Com-mission may revise any of the proposed actions referred to in this notice during the public hearing process. At this time, the City Commission is ex-pected to begin their review on December 17, 2024. A resolu-tion adopting the wastewater facility plan update will come after the City Commission’s initial approval of the docu-ment.
The public review draft of the Wastewater Collection Sys-tem Facility Plan Update is available through the following website.
https://www.bozeman.net/departments/transportation-engineering/engineering/wastewater-facility-plan-update
The draft wastewater facility plan update may be revised as the public review process proceeds.
The City invites the public to comment in writing and to attend the public hearings. Written comments are encour-aged and may be directed to City of Bozeman, Department of Community Development, PO Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771-1230 or emailed to comments@bozeman.net.

Details: The Wastewater Fa-cility Plan Update (WWFPU) is a comprehensive master plan of the City’s wastewater collection system. The plan encompasses as wide scope of items ranging from charac-terization of wastewater flows, evaluation of collection system performance, identification of system deficiencies, and de-velopment of a comprehensive capital improvement plan to address near-term and long-term system needs. As part of the update a substantial effort was undertaken to validate and calibrate the City’s exist-ing wastewater model. The wastewater model is intended to be updated as the collection system expands into the future and serve as a crucial plan-ning and evaluation tool.
The culmination of the WWF-PU is to provide the commu-nity with resources and tools to continue meeting the City’s strategic plan by fostering a well-planned City, prioritizing capital improvements for ex-isting and new infrastructure, and ultimately helping guide public funds to the right project at the right time.
Lastly, the City’s unified de-velopment code, codified as Chapter 38 of Bozeman Mu-nicipal Code, incorporate the adopted wastewater facility plan by reference and requires that any wastewater system expansions necessary to sup-port proposed development be completed in conformance with the wastewater facility plans recommendations.Pub Oct 5, 12, 19, 2024

The draft of the Waste-water Collection System Facil-ity Plan Update can be found at the following website.https://www.bozeman.net/departments/transportation-engineering/engineering/wastewater-facility-plan-updateWhy: The City of Bozeman owns and operates a waste-water collection system serv-ing its residents, businesses and industry. The City contin-ues to experience rapid growth with an average estimated an-nual population growth of 4% over the past 15 years. This growth and aging infrastruc-ture present many challenges to maintaining, operating, and expanding the wastewater collection system. The pre-vious Wastewater Collection Facility Plan was completed in 2015. Since the 2015 Waste-water Facility Plan, many of the improvements identified in the Facility Plan have been completed. As the community continues to grow and exist-ing infrastructure ages, the wastewater collection system hydraulic model and reference planning documents require a comprehensive update to en-sure the City can continue to meet its level of service and accommodate growth.The City encourages early public participation during development and adoption of plans and regulations. The re-cent Montana Land Use Plan-ning Act further emphasizes public involvement during the policy-making stage rather than during development per-mitting. The Act includes a new requirement that limits the scope of and opportu-nity for public participation; and comment on site-spe-cific development in sub-stantial compliance with the land use plan must be lim-ited to only those impacts or significantly increased impacts that were not pre-viously identified and con-sidered in the adoption, amendment, or update of the land use plan, zoning regulations, or subdivision regulations. The Wastewa-ter Collection System Facility Plan Update is an issue plan as described in the Montana Land use Planning Act. The updated plan may be the ba-sis for regulations or project review after adoption.
When and Who: On Monday, October 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the Community De-velopment Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission and Planning Board (Planning Commis-sion) will hold an introductory public meeting regarding the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update, in the Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N.

The City Commission will also hold a public hearing to consider the Wastewater Col-lection System Facility Plan Update. The City Commission may act to approve, modify, or reject the proposed update or continue the public hearing to another date. The City Com-mission may revise any of the proposed actions referred to in this notice during the public hearing process. At this time, the City Commission is ex-pected to begin their review on December 17, 2024. A resolu-tion adopting the wastewater facility plan update will come after the City Commission’s initial approval of the docu-ment.
The public review draft of the Wastewater Collection Sys-tem Facility Plan Update is available through the following website.

Details: The Wastewater Fa-cility Plan Update (WWFPU) is a comprehensive master plan of the City’s wastewater collection system. The plan encompasses as wide scope of items ranging from charac-terization of wastewater flows, evaluation of collection system performance, identification of system deficiencies, and de-velopment of a comprehensive capital improvement plan to address near-term and long-term system needs. As part of the update a substantial effort was undertaken to validate and calibrate the City’s exist-ing wastewater model. The wastewater model is intended to be updated as the collection system expands into the future and serve as a crucial plan-ning and evaluation tool.
The culmination of the WWF-PU is to provide the commu-nity with resources and tools to continue meeting the City’s strategic plan by fostering a well-planned City, prioritizing capital improvements for ex-isting and new infrastructure, and ultimately helping guide public funds to the right project at the right time.
Lastly, the City’s unified de-velopment code, codified as Chapter 38 of Bozeman Mu-nicipal Code, incorporate the adopted wastewater facility plan by reference and requires that any wastewater system expansions necessary to sup-port proposed development be completed in conformance with the wastewater facility plans recommendations.Pub Oct 5, 12, 19, 2024

185
The City of Bozeman (City) owns and operates
a wastewater collection system serving its
residents, businesses, and industry. The City
continues to experience rapid growth, with an
average estimated annual population growth
of 4% over the past 15 years. This growth cou-
pled with aging infrastructure presents many
challenges to maintaining, operating, and
expanding the wastewater collection system.
The City periodically undertakes comprehensive
planning efforts to help guide system improve-
ments so that adequate service is provided to
the growing community. These planning efforts
are referred to as Facility Plans. The previous
Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan was
completed in 2015. Since the 2015 wastewater
facility plan, many of the improvements iden-
tified in the facility plan have been completed.
As development pressure continues to grow
and existing infrastructure ages, the wastewater
collection system model and reference planning
documents required a comprehensive update to
ensure the City can continue to meet its level of
service goals and accommodate growth.

PROACTIVE PLANNING
UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
The City’s existing wastewater collection and treatment system serves approximately 56,000 people and includes
around 230 miles of sewer pipeline and over 4,800 manholes, eight City-owned lift stations, and over five miles of
force main pipeline.
DRAFT 09/18/24
SUBSTANTIAL AREA
GROWTH
Steady growth and development will
continue to increase wastewater flows
which will require the City to upgrade
existing or add new infrastructure to
meet their future needs.
INFLOW & INFILTRA-
TION (I&I) CONSIDER-
Inflow and Infiltration also known as
I&I is a term used to describe the ways
that groundwater and stormwater
enter into a wastewater collection
system. Currently, the City experiences
both dry-weather and wet-weather I&I
which increases peak flows throughout
the collection system, reducing its
capacity to convey wastewater.
SYSTEM CHALLENGES
DRAFT 09/18/24
AGING
INFRASTRUCTURE
Portions of the City’s sanitary sewer
system are reaching their expected
useful life. The oldest portions of the
system were installed 100 years ago
and replacing those pipes is costly.

BASIS OF PLANNING
Establishing Planning Boundary and Future Wastewater Flow
The establishment of the planning boundary and future wastewater generation characteristics is a critical component
in the development of the Facility Plan Update. The 2020 Community Plan Boundary was used as a starting point for
this Facility Plan along with the previously defined collection system service boundary, as shown in the figure on the
next page. The wastewater generated from infill and growth areas define the ultimate conveyance requirements of the
collection system and drives infrastructure improvements.
Wastewater Duty Factors for various land use categories
were determined to allocate future wastewater flows.
Duty factors are a measure of wastewater generation on
a gross-area basis (gallons per acre per day). The duty
factors were developed by evaluating winter water usage
and water reclamation facility (WRF) inflow.
Duty factors were assigned to the zoning categories within
City limits and to the land use categories as defined in the
2020 Community Plan to establish the Ultimate Build-
Out (UBO) conditions. The map on the next page shows
the UBO land use designations. The majority of the UBO
growth area is defined as Urban Neighborhood which
was assigned a duty factor equivalent to approximately 9
dwelling units per gross acre.

ULTIMATE BUILD-OUT (UBO)LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
*Maker Space Mixed Use and Traditional Core Land Use Categories were not included in July 2020 Future Land Use data but are included in the 2020 Community Plan.
To better understand the existing
system and ensure accurate
modeling results a significant data
collection effort was completed as
part of the update. Approximately
1,400 manholes were surveyed
to establish confident pipe inverts
on the major interceptor network.
Wastewater flows were monitored
for several months at six (6) different
locations to better understand
seasonal variations in groundwater
and how the system responds
during wet weather events.
Operational data was collected from the City’s wastewater
reclamation facility and lift stations. The photos to the right
show the inside of an existing City sewer manhole and a
rendering of survey data, which used to help establish pipe
inverts in the hydraulic model. In a sewer pipe, the invert is
the lowest point which wastewater can flow on the inside.
UNDERSTANDING HOW THE COLLECTION
SYSTEM PREFORMS
Several scenarios were developed in collaboration with City staff.
There are five scenarios evaluated in the hydraulic Model:
• Existing Scenario - An evaluation of the existing system.
• Infill Scenario - An evaluation of the system that includes
build-out of all areas internal to the existing City boundary.
• Ultimate Build-Out (UBO) Scenario - An evaluation of the future
UBO service boundary.
• UBO West Scenario - A similar evaluation of the UBO scenario,
but incorporates an option for conveying wastewater westerly to
a theoretical future treatment facility.
• Increased Density Scenario - Increases the wastewater loading
within City limits to better understand the impacts of growth.

MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND CALIBRATION
Creating a model that accurately simulates wastewater flows throughout
the collection system is useful to help identify system deficiencies.
Wastewater was spatially allocated in the model to accurately simulate
flows generated across the collection system. Real flow data was utilized for
calibration to ensure the model accurately represents existing conditions.
Improved model database: The project incorporated updates to the
collection system including pipe size and locations. Importantly, the
project included surveying primary gravity sewer inverts to bring the
major model network elements into one datum. This is critical for the
City to have confidence in analysis and system capacity evaluation.
“All Pipe” Models Provide Accurate Simulation
The new hydraulic model is an “all pipes” model, meaning that
they maintain a one-to-one relationship between individual
elements in the City’s GIS database and pipes in the model.
An all pipes model results in a more accurate simulation, and
enables more efficient model updates and maintenance with
changes in the City’s GIS database (that reflect changes in
its infrastructure). This is critical for a City growing as
fast as Bozeman and to avoid the model becoming
outdated. The City now has a valuable tool that can be
utilized with a high degree of confidence and accuracy.
COLLECTION SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The development of an accurately calibrated model provides the City with the ability to analyze
countless scenarios and answer the looming “What If” questions as the City grows and expands.The wastewater collection system
was evaluated under existing and
future flow conditions. Hydraulic
performance standards were
established using the City’s design
standards, Montana Department of
Environmental Quality standards,
and input from City staff. The
Duty Factor is assigned to its
representative land use file.

A detailed review of how the system
behaves under peak flow conditions
provides and understanding of system
needs. Hydraulic performance standards
considered in the evaluation include the
following:
Gravity Main Design Criteria: Velocity, maximum depth of flow, diameter, minimum slope, friction factor, and capacity
Force Main Design Criteria:
Velocity, diameter, and friction factor
Lift Station Design Criteria: Firm capacity and peak hour flow
Wet Weather Influence Criteria:
Inflow and infiltration
In general the existing collection system
meets performance standards with the
exception of a few locations. Under
future conditions, improvements will be
required to accommodate future growth
and development as well as mitigate
risk. The map to the right shows the
existing system evaluated under peak
flow conditions. Results are then
evaluated to determine the appropriate
mitigation, such as upsizing sewer main.

In addition to evaluating the collection system hydraulic performance
under various scenarios, a risk assessment was conducted of the existing
infrastructure to help prioritize rehabilitation and replacement needs. The
Facility Plan Update includes a path forward for future comprehensive risk
assessments which will achieve the following:
Likelihood vs. Consequence of Failure
The risk assessment completed
for the City consists of five risk
levels ranging from “negligible”
to “extreme”. The matrix to the
right summarizes the risk levels
by likelihood and consequence
of failure.

MEDIUM Low Medium High
LOW Negligible Low Medium
Likelihood of failure scoring is generally based on pipe material and age. Consequence of failure
scoring is based on capacity or size, with larger pipes having an assumed higher consequence.
RISK ASSESSMENT RESULTS
The risk assessment showed that approximately 28
miles of collection system are ranked in the high and
extreme risk categories. This represents approximately
12% of the system. The pipes within the high and
extreme risk categories are generally old and are
either vitrified clay or asbestos cement pipes.
Rehabilitation and replacement projects were
developed based on grouping high or extreme
risk pipes together into logical corridors so that
construction is optimized.

The ultimate outcome of the Facility Plan is a
comprehensive Capital Improvements Plan for the
collection system infrastructure. This list of improvements
will help the City proactively plan for growth and maintain
a standard level-of-service for all existing and future
community members.
Projects identified for the Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) were divided into two timeline categories: near-
term (5-years) and long-term (6-20 years). The distinct
recommended improvement projects were developed
based on critical aging infrastructure (i.e., risk assessment),
existing system hydraulic capacity concerns, infill hydraulic
capacity concerns, and system expansion due to growth
and development. The table below summarizes the
recommended near-term improvement projects and
identifies the factors driving these recommendations.
PROACTIVE PLANNING
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
This map shows the long-term full
build-out improvements. These
improvements have been sized
using the assumptions made in the
Basis of Planning and are meant
to provide a roadmap for the City
and Developers as the community
expands and grows outside of its
current boundary. These high-level
future improvements identify the
major collection system components
such as large interceptors and
new regional lift stations that are
necessary to meet long-term system
growth needs. WWaasstteewwaatteerr CCoolllleecctitioonn SSyysstteemm FFaacciilliittyy PPllaann –– 22002244 UUppddaattee

Prepared By:
The Bozeman Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update
provides a comprehensive evaluation of the existing collection system
infrastructure and defines future needs based on the 2020 Community
Plan. Improvement projects are identified to address system needs and
prioritized into near-term and long-term categories.
As the City cycles through the planning process some of the
assumptions made in this Facility Plan will change and will necessitate
future updates. However, the evaluation approach and methodologies
presented in this Facility Plan provide an important framework for
efficiently adapting to changes and the variable challenges.
