Home My WebLink About017_Supplemental_Pre-AppMeetingNotes072023 SANDERSONtft, STEWART Billings / Bozeman PRE-APPLICATION Fort Collins Bozeman Health Campus Master Site Plan Location: 915 Highland Boulevard, Bozeman MT 59715 Legal Description: Parcel I & 2, Section 17 & 18, Township 02S, Range 06E, C.O.S. 2047, Plat J-483 Submitted: July 17, 2023 Project Narrative Existing Conditions Parcel I of the project site is approximately 38 acres and includes the Hillcrest Senior Living facilities, a large Bozeman Health surface parking lot, and a temporary maintenance and storage yard. Parcel 2 is the site of Bozeman Health's hospital campus including inpatient and outpatient buildings, the emergency department, and a numerous surface parking lots. A variety of adjacent uses surround the project site. To the north, northwest, and west is City of Bozeman properties managed for the cemetery and Parks & Recreation uses. To the south is the Knolls neighborhood. To the east, across Highland Boulevard, is additional Bozeman Health land that is managed for-agriculture. Existing Infrastructure Transportation The project site is serviced by Highland Boulevard (Minot-Arterial), Ellis Street (Local), and Old Highland Boulevard (Local). There are shared use paths along the entire length of Highland Boulevard, Old Highland Boulevard, and Ellis Street. Natural surface trails connect the project site to Burke Park (aka Peet's Hill) to the west, Lindley Park to the north, and the Highland Glen trail system to the east. Streamline's Purple Line provides transit service along Highland Boulevard. Public Utilities WATER A 12-inch ductile iron water main runs the length of Highland Boulevard. The Hillcrest Senior Living Center- and Hospital Campus are serviced by a series of looped ductile iron water mains ranging in size between 6 and 14 inches. The project area includes 20 fire hydrants. See Civil Sheet C2.0 for more details. COMMUNITYENDURING SANITARY SEWER The sewer main servicing the project area is an 8-inch vitrified clay line running northeast from the Highland-Old Highland intersection, across Ellis Street, through the City Parks & Rec softball facility, and then tying in at Haggerty Lane. The main trunk servicing Hillcrest is also an 8-inch clay line. The main trunks servicing the hospital are 8-inch PVC lines except for the main for the Emergency Department which is a 6-inch PVC line. See Civil Sheet C2.0 for more details. STORMWATER The existing storm water system for the project consists surface runoff to inlets feeding pipes (12 and 24 inch) which lead to 4 surface ponds or the intermittent "urban waterway" conveyance on the east side of Highland Boulevard. See Civil Sheet C2.0 for more details. Proposed Development Site Improvements The proposed phased developments for the Bozeman Health hospital campus include the following improvements: • Mitigation of the existing non-conforming conditions with Parking Lot I and the maintenance and storage yard • Construction Emergency Department expansion (approximately 10,000 GSF) • Construction of a parking garage (400-500 spaces) and an enclosed wayfinding concourse connecting several of the existing medical office building entrances • Construction of Medical Office Building (MOB) 6 (5 floors with approximately 100,000 GSF) • Vertical expansion of the Bridget- Critical Care Tower (Floors 4-5 with approximately 35,000 GSF) • New landscaped open space at the southwest corner of the Highland-Ellis intersection • New landscaped open space at north of the Highland-Old Highland intersection • Expansion of Parking Lots A and E Refer to the included Master Campus Plan exhibit for more details. Once completed approximately 477 net new parking spaces will be added to the hospital campus. A parking demand analysis will be completed and submitted with the formal MSP application. Transportation Improvements A traffic impact study will be conducted and submitted with the formal MSP application. This study will identify when any transportation infrastructure improvements will be triggered to accommodate additional trip generation. A revised Streamline bus route and new bus shelter along Old Highland Boulevard are proposed. Refer- to the included Campus Mobility Network exhibit for more details. Utility Improvements WATER An initial assessment of the potential new water demand indicates there is sufficient existing capacity. The 2016 Water- Facility Plan proposes a new 12-inch water- main to be installed along Ellis Street (between the intersection with Highland) then running south along Old Highland before turning west along the Bozeman Health-City of Bozeman property line. These improvements are identified as CIP Numbers FP_1544, FP_1545, and FP_1546 and are all unscheduled. Although not required, the formal MSP submittal will include preliminary water demand calculations for the proposed new buildings. See Civil Sheets C3.1, C3.2, and C3.3 for more details. SANITARY SEWER There appears to be adequate grades and capacity to accommodate the anticipated increases to the sewer demands of the proposed phased development. Although not required, the formal MSP submittal will include preliminary sewer demand calculations for the proposed new buildings. See Civil Sheets C3.1, C3.2, and C3.3 for more details. STORMWATER The existing stormwater ponds will be modified as needed to accommodate for the additional runoff associated with the proposed phased developments. Also, subsurface treatment chamber systems will be added for two of the new paved parking lot areas. See Civil Sheets C3.1, C3.2, and C3.3 for more details. Entitlement Period Bozeman Health requests the maximum MSP entitlement period of 5 years. Phasing Plan The proposed phases are shown in the included Campus Phasing Plan exhibit and the Civil Sheet C3.0. The phased build out is tentatively planned as follows: 2024/25 Phase I—Emergency Department expansion and non-conforming conditions 2025/26 Phase 2—Parking structure and wayfinding concourse 2027/28 Phase 3—MOB 6 and parking lot expansion 2028/29 Phase 4—Bridger Tower vertical expansion and parking lot expansion The following phasing components will be included with the MSP application: • Proposed limit of construction for each phase • Proposed plan for staging and phasing of construction including storage of topsoil, spoils, and construction materials and equipment. A phasing plan for infrastructure, utilities, streets, roads, pathways, and trails will also be included with the formal MSP submittal. Sequential Site Plans Bozeman Health shall submit sequential individual site plans for each phase of the master site plan. Each subsequent application shall be consistent with the approved master site plan and subject to review criteria of Section 38.230.I OO.A, BMC. If it does not, a modification to the master site plan will be submitted. Draft Design Guidelines Sanderson Stewart and Bozeman Health are still researching whether any design guidelines exist from previous planning efforts. If so, the existing guidelines will be assessed, and potential revisions will be proposed. If none exist, the applicant will consult with the City about how best to proceed. Financial Guarantees The potential need for financial guarantees will be assessed once the extent and timing of necessary infrastructure improvements have been determined. More details will be provided with the formal MSP submittal. Pre-Application Question The following is a list of applicant questions soliciting specific staff responses: 1. Overall, will the 'style' and level of detail in the Civil/LA sheets and exhibits suffice for the MSP submittal? We want to make sure our approach is acceptable as this project is quite different from most 'greenfreld' MSPs since the property is 90% developed.

If so, please advise on the types and level of details of the required guidelines. / � — an S 3.
