RE: Concurrent Construction Request—Blackwood Groves
On behalf of our client, we are requesting concurrent construction for the required public
infrastructure improvements for the proposed Blackwood Groves project located East of South
19th Avenue and North of Blackwood Road within the Blackwood Groves Subdivision in
Bozeman, MT.
The required public improvements are for the water and sanitary sewer main extensions to serve
the property. The proposed mains run through the property,North to South and connects to
existing mains in Canter Avenue and Victoria Street. The improvements are required for the
proposed development of the apartment units.
Based on the Bozeman Unified Development Code (UDC), Section 38.270.030.C.1 b&c we
believe the following conditions allowing concurrent construction are met.
38.270.030.C.1.b The water mains, sewer mains and streets to be extended to provide
service to the development are: located within a publicly dedicated right-
of-way or easement; constructed to city standards; are physically adjacent;
are installed and accepted by the city; and are adequate in capacity to
provide necessary service to the proposed development; and comply with
the requirements of this subsection C.l.b and subsection C.l.c of this
section;
Response:
1. The water and sewer main extensions will be within a publicly dedicated right-of-
way and/or easement.
2. The required main extensions will be constructed to City Standards.
3. The water and sewer main extensions are on and adjacent to the lots on which the
apartment project is being built.

4. The water and sewer main extensions are the same size as the mains being
connected to. The water and sewer main extensions are of adequate capacity to
provide necessary service to the proposed development.
38.270.030.C.1.c Water mains, sewer mains, stormwater system, and streets shall meet the
following requirements:
(1) Any required on-site or off-site extensions of water mains, sewer mains, stormwater
system, or streets to be dedicated to the public: must be located entirely within
publicly held easements or rights-of-way; must serve only a single lot; are the subject
of an irrevocable offer of dedication to the city upon completion of the project; the
development is under the control of a single developer who must retain control of the
entire project until final completion; all work is under the supervision of a single
general contractor; and no subdivision of land is involved;
Response:
I. The water and sewer main extensions will each serve only one lot and will
be located within a Public Right of Way and Easement.
2. The water and sewer main extensions are being constructed for the
development of the apartment project.
3. The developer agrees to the required irrevocable offer of dedication of the
improvements to the city upon completion of the project.

6. No subdivision of land is involved with this site plan approval.
(1) The DRC shall determine when the standards of this subsection C.1 are met. The
fire department must consider whether adequate fire protection services are
available from existing hydrants, and water supply exists to meet needs during
construction. If adequate fire protection does not exist then concurrent
infrastructure and building construction may only occur under the provisions of
subsection C.l.c.(3) of this section. Based on evaluation by the fire department,
simultaneous construction of infrastructure to be dedicated to the public and
private construction may be permitted only within a defined portion of the site;
Response: Scott Mueller at the Bozeman Fire Department, will be contacted at the
appropriate time with regards to this request to allow concurrent construction.
