All encroachments occur at least 9'6" above the sidewalk. The encroachment at the corner is the building, while the encroachment along N 7th Ave is a facade element/awning. Directly at the intersection the triangular encroachment begins at 9'-6" above the sidewalk and extends the height of the building. The encroachment along 7th Ave is a facade element/awning, at the most it encroaches 5 feet in width back to 0 feet encroachment at the corner/intersection. We would like to understand if there are any limitations or requirements for an awning/facade that extends into the encroachment. We understand that we will most likely need an encroachment permit, which we would to get the process started, as we will need this for the site plan review. We are sending this to have our concept reviewed before starting this process. As discussed during our meeting, this is a mixed use project with 2 commercial units on the ground floor [1800 SF total] and 10 residential units on floors 2-5. All vehicular access will be from the alley to the west of the project site.

In addition, we have done some research on the vision triangle requirements per AASHTO at the corner [N 7th Ave and W Mendenhall], as a fully signalized intersection, we understand that there are no vision triangle requirements, and we meet all the departure criteria listed at BMC 38.400.100.E. We would like to know what evidence you would need from us to support the vision triangle departure request with the City of Bozeman.

I wanted to follow up on my previous messages regarding our project at 703 West Mendenhall Street in Bozeman at the intersection of N 7th Ave and W Mendenhall St. If you would prefer to discuss this over the phone, please feel free to call me - 772-913-3577. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I'm following up on our previous emails to provide you with an updated drawing. We have revised the areas where our design encroaches upon the easement and property line in response to the comments from the concept plan review. Specifically, the building no longer extends over the property line at the southeast corner. The only remaining encroachment on the easement is now located at the north end of the east facade, which I have highlighted in red in the attached drawing. This red area will feature a facade element/weather protection between 9.5' and 17' above the sidewalk. In addition to understanding the process and initiating the encroachment permit, we would like to start the system impact analysis. Could you please let us know the steps we need to follow for this? Thank you for your assistance.

Awnings are allowed in right-of-way property with the understanding that if an improvement comes in conflict with the awning in the future, the owner could be required to move it. Therese was worried that the building is encroaching but I do not see that in your plans. Solid structures are not allowed in the right-of-way. We also have a project that is slated to be done on 7th Ave and I did confirm that there will be no issue with your plans and their construction.

I understand the communication delay, and I appreciate your follow-up. Since our meeting and earlier correspondence this year, there have been some slight changes to the location of the exterior edge of the building, particularly at the southeast corner. However, as the plan was submitted for site plan review, I can confirm that there are no solid structures in the right-of-way. The only encroachments into the utility easement are the awnings, and we will inform the owner that if future improvements conflict with these awnings, they may be required to remove them. I’ve attached the site plan and cover page with renderings that were submitted for site plan review for your reference. Additionally, could you please confirm whether this email serves as sufficient communication from MDT to indicate that the project does not need to go through the systems impact process, or if there is an additional approval process I should follow? I appreciate your help and look forward to your response.
