706 S 9th AVE, NCOA APPLICATION, Project Narrative
Hello and Good Day.
This letter is in regards to the proposed construction of an additional attached dwelling @ 706 S 9th Ave,
Bozeman, MT 59715. WEST PARK ADD,S12,T02 S, R05 E,BLOCK 50,Lot 26, & N21’LOT 25.
My name is Gilberto Espinoza. My wife, Olivia Armenta, and myself are the current owners of 706 S 9th
Ave. I am also the owner of Espinoza Design Build. My company would be executing the construction of
the proposed addition. We have recently updated and restored the existing structure and will be
continuing additional improvements this spring.
The proposed project is a separate, attached (abutted) dwelling on the east side of the existing structure
facing the alley with alley loaded parking. There is an existing shed that would be demolished. Three
dedicated, (alley loaded) parking spaces would be created for the new structure. There is stacked parking
(two spaces) with access from 9th Ave on the West side of the lot as well as a single car garage that
would remain dedicated to the existing dwelling.
The structure will measure Appx. 31 ft. tall, it is a 3 story structure with a 24’ x 28’ footprint, creating 2016
sq ft of livable space. Separate electrical metering would be implemented. Septic would be tied beneath
the proposed new structure. Public record has indicated the main city septic line runs from the alley to the
existing structure.
The roofing system would implement a 1”/12” pitch to reduce elevation profile while creating a third floor
of living space. A 1 3/4“, “TRUE SNAP” standing seam metal roof would be installed to allow logistical
function of a minimum pitch roofing system. Farmhouse windows with a complementary mullion layout
would face 9th st to allow for a uniform east/street view aesthetic. Synthetic cedar shakes would be

installed on the South West corner of the new structure as well as the north window bump out. This
facade detail coupled with similar lap siding matching the existing elevation would continue pursuit of a
very uniform aesthetic in respect to the existing structure, its surroundings, and neighborhood.
There will be a vertical shiplap siding detail implemented on the remainder of the new structure as well
as 1” Nailstrip vertical standing seam metal siding. The standing seam siding detail would be limited to
the east facing staircase column and the master bedroom bump out/ deck space. I have included photos
to represent the proposed new siding details as well as a photo of the current state of our existing
dwelling.
Thank You for your time and consideration of this project.
Please inform me of any additional details I can provide.
Respectfully,
Gil Espinoza
