Site Plan Narrative
On behalf of Alpenglow of Bozeman, we present this Site Plan Application for the
8.2-acre property, located southeast of the intersection of South 19th Avenue and
West Kagy Boulevard, in the City of Bozeman. This property is currently zoned as
“REMU” – Residential Emphasis Mixed Use. Alpenglow requests a site plan
review in order to allow for the development and construction of a new mixed-use,
for rent multi-family housing neighborhood.
We are excited about bringing this community of high-quality residences and
commercial uses to Bozeman by developing this undeveloped parcel within the
South University District “SUD” Phase 3 Subdivision. This package will provide a
clear picture of the purposeful planning techniques we have employed to create
this innovative community. The design team looks forward to working with the
Bozeman Staff throughout the review process.
Project Summary
This proposed mixed-use neighborhood will be a purposeful new addition to the
Bozeman community. The Alpenglow mixed-use neighborhood has been
deliberately and thoughtfully designed to address Bozeman’s exigent housing crisis
and further several of the Bozeman Growth Policy objectives by providing:
• 273-unit for-rent apartment homes in varying sizes
• ±5,000 SF of new commercial space (with 2-4 tenants)
• Design that meets the needs of Bozeman's growing population while
providing high-quality, fair market housing in a convenient location.
The residential portion of this new neighborhood will consist of a mix of one, two,
and three-bedroom apartment homes designed to meet various resident needs. The
apartment homes will have modern finishes and thoughtful amenities. The
neighborhood will boast an array of community amenities designed to promote
healthy and active lifestyles. These amenities include a fitness center, bike storage,
a pool, social lounge, and business center. These spaces have been thoughtfully
crafted to offer residents both comfort and convenience, catering to their needs for
living, working, socializing, and relaxing.
The commercial space on the corner of Kagy and 19th is being designed to
accommodate walkable neighborhood services potentially including a coffee shop,
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Page 4 of 20
chiropractor, and retail area. The intent is to provide services that will not only
serve Alpenglow residents but also the surrounding community.
The site of the proposed development has been strategically chosen to align with
Bozeman's growth policies which encourage high-density residential development
in areas close to the university, existing commercial uses, amenities, and public
transportation. The neighborhood’s design will incorporate green spaces and
walkways, promoting a sense of community and encouraging outdoor activity.
Proximity to the Montana State University campus makes it an ideal location for
students, faculty, staff, and recent grads.
To address the issue of affordable housing in Bozeman, Alpenglow of Bozeman
will offer a diversity of floor plans that will be obtainable for a significant portion
of the area workforce. Our design includes a mix of smaller, functional units, and
provides for a diverse range of prices for renters who are struggling to find such
housing in the city.
The applicant, Alpenglow of Bozeman, LLC, is majority owned by Keyhole
Capital. The owners of Keyhole have homes in Montana and spend several months
of the year there. Keyhole has been focused on developing multi-family
communities in emerging markets, primarily Wisconsin, Colorado, and Montana.
Keyhole currently owns five multifamily communities in various stages of
entitlement and construction. They have nine existing communities that have all
been developed from the ground up with long term ownership in mind. As such,
Keyhole is proud to say that they have only sold one project in the last 15 years. A
sister company, Rooney Property Management, will be responsible for long-term
management and operation of Alpenglow, and will provide direct, on-site
maintenance and long-term quality control. It should be noted that Keyhole’s
model of ‘build to hold’ incentivizes higher quality control and structural care than
typical “merchant builders,” who will sell the property to other parties within a few
years of construction.

making it an attractive option for renters seeking a vibrant and convenient
lifestyle.
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood

Neighborhood & Proposed Use
The project site is designated as Block 1, Lot 1 of Phase 3 in the South University
District Subdivision. The SUD Master Plan and zoning designation was approved
by the City of Bozeman on April 16, 2012. SUD created a new type of zoning,
“Residential Emphasis Mixed Use – REMU”. REMU zoning envisions compact,
walkable neighborhoods where residential is the primary use, but is in close
proximity to neighborhood commercial and civic uses. The current majority of
Phase 3 consists of vacant land. The Alpenglow mixed-use neighborhood seeks to
add value to SUD as well as promote the City of Bozeman Growth Policy goal
DCD-1 (Support urban development) by intensifying development in proximity to
high visibility corners, services, and parks. South of the project site is Block 2,
which is currently vacant but has received Site Plan approval, construction
permitting, and is under construction. The sites will be complementary in nature
due to sharing the same zoning designation, by providing a multi-family housing
neighborhood, and providing further infrastructure to connect visitors and residents
with the dedicated parks/open space. This element is important to all of the blocks
within SUD and to a multi-family community in particular. This benefit to the
community (Goal N-4: Encouraging Bozeman’s sense of place), provides
proximity to parks and trails as well as enhanced sidewalk networks. This is an
appropriate location for this project. (Reference Appendix A)
The primary uses for the site will be high-density residential apartment buildings
and a 2-4 tenant commercial services building. The commercial services building
will be located adjacent to the SE corner of 19th Ave and Kagy Blvd to promote
access to walkable and sustainable neighborhood services. A variety of building
types, scales, and densities have been incorporated throughout the project. This
matches the characteristics for the vision of a mixed-use neighborhood, as well as
addressing Growth Policy goal DCD-2 (Increase development intensity within
centers of employment and activity). No zone edge transitions apply.
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Page 10 of 20
Design Intent
The site has been arranged to take advantage of high-traffic corridors, pedestrian-
friendly circulation, and connection to surrounding commercial, civic, and
residential uses. Street configuration, site access, and open space networks will
foster enhanced interaction within the project and to the larger community context.
The project site is framed by four external streets: South 19th Ave to the west,
Kagy Blvd to the north, South 17th Ave to the east, and State St to the south. Main
accesses to the site are off South 17th Ave, State St, and Kagy Blvd. Arrival into
the site is met with enhanced landscaping and pedestrian features including drive
aisle and parking islands. We have designed the residential amenity center fronting
along the high-traffic corridor for enhanced visibility. This location for the
residential amenity center creates an internal network of streets and walkways
internal to the site to create a dense central village that prioritizes circulation,
access to amenities, and screening of internal parking. The main highlights on site
are the 3 five-story, 91-plex apartment buildings that will provide a total of 273
high quality, multi-family residences (441 bedrooms) to the City of Bozeman.
Adding these residences helps the city further Growth Policy goal N-3 (Promote a
diverse supply of quality housing units). The five-story residential buildings are
located along the exterior of the property to provide adequate internal site
circulation as well as connection to local block frontages. Residential entry
proximity to S. 17th Ave and State St allows residents and their guests to take
advantage of adjacent on-street parking. The commercial building that is proposed
on site is a one-story building with connected open space. Location for the
commercial space was designed with sight exposure along Kagy Blvd. This is the
most desirable location for a commercial element and furthers Growth Policy Goal
N-2 (Pursue simultaneous commercial and residential development in appropriate
locations). A variety of open space/parks and pedestrian connections span the site
to connect commercial and residential. Surrounding connections to the site include
walkways leading to Kagy Blvd and 19th Ave, both of which are major arterial
streets offering direct access to the local community and connecting to Bozeman's
extensive trail system, the MSU campus, nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and
shops. These connections create a family-friendly environment and complement
the amenities available on-site.
The proposed plan is designed to help diversify the housing options in Bozeman,
and to synergize and solidify the growing adjacent neighborhoods.

Building Program
KEPHART begins with research, drawing from our understanding of “place” --
this is a key part of our design process. We began this project with a map study
looking at the recorded history of the area through 19th and 20th century maps
charting changes overtime. We looked at and studied their construction form, with
the intent to formalize what is called the “Bozeman vernacular” (Reference
Appendix B). We observed buildings utilizing construction techniques and
material appropriate for their place and function. We then considered our context
of contemporary Bozeman, saw its growth as a city over the last decade and
development of its own urban character.
Overall, our concept for Alpenglow extends this vernacular to contribute to
Bozeman as a whole. Our design strives to speak with an architectural language of
clarity, simplicity, and functionality. Alpenglow intends to be a merger of
thoughtful buildings and quality experiential spaces for residents and visitors.
The colors of the project are those of the immediate landscape and environs and
are in keeping with the City of Bozeman guidelines. The stone draws from the
natural colors of the area, with special attention paid to 19th century Bozeman
public buildings. Cementous board and batten and lap siding are the primary
building materials used, designed to allow light and shadow to render natural
articulation on the building’s pure geometric surfaces. These materials pick up on
the materials of the Old West and are used to celebrate the buildings internal
functions. A language of protection occurring over bedroom spaces is clad in board
and batten siding. The scale of this material relates to the approach seen on
agrarian buildings of the area. The living spaces are significantly glassier and use a
language of heavy trim boards, and lap siding, showing a different function
relating to a more 19th century house scaled material.

project proposes to develop:
▪ Three (3) five-story, 91-plex buildings
o Includes 441 bedrooms
▪ One (1) ±5,000 sf commercial services building
▪ One (1) ±10,800 sf clubhouse with fitness and pool amenities
To facilitate financial feasibility for residents, Alpenglow will offer a wide range
of floorplans and capacities. The neighborhood will provide a mix of studio, one,
two, and three-bedroom apartments.

Site Considerations
Setbacks
All buildings fronting on Kagy Blvd, South 19th Ave, South 17th Ave and State St
are providing a minimum 10’ setback from the property line. A 10’ public utility
easement is provided. The setback space will be used to comply with the Mixed-
Landscape block frontage standards.
Utilities/Infrastructure
On-site Public Infrastructure
Water and Sewer Mains exist around the perimeter of the Block 1 site and
will be extended into the site with the proposed development to serve the
new buildings with water, sewer, and fire protection. Water and sewer mains
will be located within 30-foot water and sewer easements. (Reference
Appendix G)
Private Utilities
Stormwater for Block 1 will be collected and retained onsite. Stormwater
will be mitigated utilizing low impact development techniques and will be
evenly distributed throughout the site. Franchise utility mains will be
installed in the existing utility easements around the perimeter of the site and
service will be extended to each building. (Reference Appendix H)
Block Frontages
All portions of the Alpenglow mixed-use neighborhood will be designed in
accordance with the Mixed-Landscape block frontage standards. The streetscapes
of South 19th Ave, Kagy Blvd, South 17th Ave, and State St will feature a 10’
landscaped setback, 5’ sidewalk, and boulevard planting strips with street trees for
every 50 linear feet. Buildings on site are addressing all streets with emphasized
landscape and clear pedestrian paths to entries. Entries are placed on several
locations along the building facade.
Pedestrian Circulation
Non-motorized circulation is designed to create a safe, easy, and comfortable
pedestrian experience on site. All building entries have direct access to a pedestrian
circulation network. The circulation network includes strong connections to the
main neighborhood amenity center, parks, commercial plaza, and parking options
provided for residences and visitors of the neighborhood. The proposed design also
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Page 14 of 20
seeks to improve the access to local sidewalk/trail connections, business, transit,
and other connections to the city. As stated previously, pedestrian circulation on
and around the site was an important element to capture in design. Our initiatives
for this include enhancing the sense of this neighborhood and furthering the
Growth Policy Goal N-1 (Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods).
(Reference Appendix C)
Accessibility
The site has been designed in compliance with IBC and FHA guidelines, including
accessible requirements and design. The site plan provides 13 accessible parking
spaces across the whole site. All residential building entries, trash enclosure,
amenities, and landscaped open spaces are connected via an accessible pathway
system that complies with the requirements of an accessible route.
Parking
The proposed project includes a total of 510 parking spaces. It should be noted that
this is in excess of the required parking by 84 spaces -- Parking spaces include a
variety of garages, tandem, surface, and on-street parking. The required parking for
the proposed development is 459 spaces. A parking reduction has been taken at
this time to include 33 offsite street parking spaces, the required spaces after
reduction is 426 spaces. The development will also provide EV charging
infrastructure on site, to support the charging of +/- 20 EV’s, with (4) of those
spaces to be EV installed on day one. 1 of the 4 EV spaces will also be an
accessible space. EV spaces will become assigned to residents upon request.
The development offers a variety of secure bicycle parking solutions catering to
the diverse needs of our residents who do not wish to store their vehicle in the
apartment. Bicycle parking areas will be conveniently located near each apartment
building's ground floor entries. The site will also offer bicycle parking spaces
strategically distributed around the commercial plaza, main amenities, and the rest
of the site. Altogether, we are planning to provide 46 bicycle parking spaces
throughout the site, 11 of which will be covered, ensuring ample and secure
options for all residents and visitors.

Page 16 of 20
Waste Management
Solid waste & recycling on site will be handled in each residential building
individually, and there will be one trash enclosure located at the end of the drive
aisle just south of the commercial and clubhouse buildings, to service that area of
the site. The trash enclosure will house 2 four cubic yard receptacles. Residential
buildings will provide residents shoot access in tandem with valet service. Trash
will be collected for pickup in a waste disposal area located on the ground floor of
each 91-plex apartment building. This area will include 6 three cubic yard
receptacles. Receptacles will be rolled out three times per week onto a heated tip
pad directly outside of the waste disposal area, near the end of each building.
Property Management will be responsible for moving the trash out on collection
days.
Snow Storage
Ample snow storage will be provided throughout the site by utilizing dedicated
stockpile locations, parking islands, and landscape bump outs. 21,485 SF has been
dedicated for surface snow storage, located in areas where snow can be pushed
efficiently in order to minimize interference with site circulation. See drawing
sheet C1.0 for proposed locations.
To address the long, cold winters in Bozeman, we have also included areas that
will address deicing and removal methods maintained by a dedicated snow
removal company at the time of occupancy. Residents will also be allowed
convenient access to one of the clubhouse hot tubs year-round by providing a
snowmelt pathway.
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Page 17 of 20
Construction Management
We are requesting a phased approach to construction and occupancy. Our approach
to phased occupancy will ensure that occupied buildings can be lived in and
accessed by residents. We will provide adequate parking and site circulation for
each phase. Please reference Appendix I – occupancy phasing plan for more detail.
Phase 0: Site construction (sewer, water, storm, shallow utilities, parking lot,
sidewalks)
Phase 1: Clubhouse with adjacent amenities, and Building 1 with adjacent OS
Phase 2: Building 2 with adjacent OS
Phase 3: Building 3
Phase 4: Commercial building
Alpenglow would like to start construction on phase one while on-site
improvements are being installed. On-site improvements include private roads with
associated water, sewer, and stormwater. Water and sewer mains will be extended
to service the buildings. Other on-site improvements include landscaping,
irrigation, and sight lighting. CCON applications are included with this submittal,
as required, and detailed in appendix J. Park improvements will also be constructed
concurrently in conjunction with development of the other adjacent South
University District Phase 3 lots.
Concurrent construction is being requested with this application, in conformance
with the “South University District Phase 3 Major Subdivision Phasing Plan for
Concomitant Construction,” dated May 18, 2021 and made a part of the
Subdivision’s Improvements Agreement. The Common Subdivision Improvements
(CSIs), as outlined in the aforementioned Phasing Plan, are required to be installed
before any of the four South University District Phase 3 lots can be constructed.
Construction on the Common Subdivision Improvements commenced in October
2021 and to date has installed most of the required improvements. It is anticipated
that the Common Subdivision Improvements will be completed by October 2023.
(Reference Appendix I,J,S)

Landscape Narrative
Parkland Improvements
A Park Master Plan has been developed, detailed, and bid for the South University
District. The improvements to the 20+ acres park will be built in 2023 and 2024
and will satisfy the code required needs of the entire South University District
neighborhood. The master developer of the South University District is building
the park and each project will reimburse the master developer for their portion of
the project. (Reference Appendix K)
Open Space
The project will provide a variety of uses in its open space areas. There is focus on
both active space as well as passive and relaxation uses. With so much focus on
active landscape spaces, there is also a need for areas that foster relaxation and
contemplation. A portion of the open space on this project will be devoted to
landscape that provides sensory stimulation through visual, smell, and auditory
senses to allow for a more relaxed contemplative setting in which to read a book,
check in with loved ones, or have personal time to disconnect from our overly
connected world.
Required residential open space will be amenitized to provide a wide variety of
seasonal uses. Each of these spaces will comply with listed design standards. The
shared common areas are in centralized areas that are visible from units within the
development, located away from service areas, and screened from ground level
residential windows. Within these spaces, amenities include: a pool, a fitness area,
gathering spaces, landscaping, paving, seating space, lighting, firepits, pavilions,
outdoor activity/recreation, and lawn areas. (Reference Appendix E and Landscape
drawing sheets)
Alpenglow – Mixed-Use Neighborhood

Streetscape and Parking Lot Landscape Approach
Site elements such as lighting, plant material, site furnishings, and signage will be
consistent throughout the development to define the character of the neighborhood.
The commercial space, adjacent to the NW corner of the site and the entry off
Kagy Blvd, will provide easy and immediate access for visitors to the Block 1
commercial building. The commercial building will include a commercial open
space, the building design will serve to address and activate Kagy Blvd. The design
of the clubhouse building fulfills the code necessity of activated corners while also
providing ample landscape buffering and enhancing the major intersection at 19th
Ave and Kagy Blvd.
All portions of the Alpenglow mixed-use neighborhood will be designed as Mixed-
Landscape block frontage. The streetscapes of South 19th Ave, Kagy Blvd, South
17th Ave, and State St will feature a 10’ landscaped setback, 5’ sidewalk, and
boulevard planting strips with street trees for every 50 linear feet. Code required
residential open space will be provided in the Clubhouse facilities as well as large,
amenitized green spaces throughout the block. Each open space area will have its
own character and group of features. A list of amenities and locations are detailed
on drawing sheet L 0.00 submitted with this proposal.
Landscaping
All landscaping will comply with the mandatory landscaping provisions of the
Bozeman UDC including the use of drought tolerant plants, use of appropriately
sized landscape plant material, street frontage landscaping, use of trees with
residential adjacency, coordination with utilities, and use of permanent irrigation.
All service areas and utility equipment will be screened as necessary.

Site Lighting
We intend to provide lighting in outdoor public places where public health, safety,
and welfare are potential concerns. We will protect our neighbors and the night
sky from nuisance glare and stray light from poorly aimed, placed, applied,
maintained, or shielded light sources. Keeping with the goals set forth by the City
of Bozeman we will protect and maintain the character of the city, prevent
excessive lighting, conserve energy, and maintain adequate lighting for safe
automobile, pedestrian, and bicycle travel. (Reference Drawing E1.0 Photometric
