Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence_Joint Parking Facility Agreement_1204231 Arielle Stoness From:Mikaela Schultz <mschultz@BOZEMAN.NET> Sent:Monday, December 4, 2023 4:47 PM To:Erik D. Garberg; Jacob Doesschate Cc:Taylor Lonsdale; Arielle Stoness; Jake T. Grubisch Subject:RE: [EXTERNAL]FW: 22-341 Pines Phase 2 SP - Comment Questions Attachments:ATT00001.txt; ATT00002.htm Erik, In summary I am seeking input on the use of Joint Parking Facility Agreement (as an alternative to an easement) and a brief discussion with the City traffic engineer to define the scope of the Modification requested. I wanted to respond today to your ques%ons, as I had some %me this a&ernoon to look into it. Taylor L. provided the following concerning the scope of the Mod requested: They do not need to do traffic counts. They can u%lize MDT data for volume on S 19th Ave and the trip genera%on numbers for their development and for the adjacent office building. Given that both of these accesses are right in right out, there are fewer poten%al conflicts with access spacing that does not meet the standard. I have copied Sec%on H from 38.400.090 below and highlight the decision making criteria. The analysis only needs to look at the condi%ons at the %me of development. Based on the size and nature of the project, the City will waive the requirement to look at the future condi%on. If Erik has specific ques%ons beyond this, I am happy to talk with him. H. Modificaons of property access standards. 1. Some of the standards listed in subsec%ons C through E of this sec%on, may be relaxed by the review authority if it is shown during the development review process that more efficient design can be accomplished without jeopardizing the public's health, safety and welfare, the intent of this chapter, or the intent of the city's growth policy. 2. Modifica%ons from access standards may be approved by the review authority. 3. Commercial developments (including residen%al complexes for five or more households) which may not be able to meet the requirements of subsec%ons C through E of this sec%on, and are reques%ng modifica%ons from the standards, must submit to the city engineer a report cer%fied by a professional engineer addressing the following site condi%ons, both present and future: a. Traffic volumes; b. Turning movements; c. Traffic controls; d. Site design; e. Sight distances; and f. Loca%on and alignment of other access points. 4. Based upon the above data, the review authority will determine whether a modifica%on from the required standards is jus%fied and, if so, what alterna%ve requirements will be necessary. Feel free to reach out directly to Taylor concerning this informa%on, just plan to archive/upload any conclusive correspondence with your subsequent submi?als for conclusive resolu%on and archive with the project. Concerning the joint use of parking facili%es requests, the engineering DRC team will meet this week with the planning DRC team to discuss the Joint Parking Facility Agreement you have proposed for applica%on on the subject site. 2 Thank you for reaching out and please stay tuned, City of Bozeman MT Mikaela Schultz, EI | Transportation and Engineering (406) 582-2388 From: Mikaela Schultz Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 2:21 PM To: Erik D.

I have included the assigned project DRC coordinator Jacob Doesschate to help me keep this moving along. I will have Jacob schedule a quick mee%ng inclusive of all the par%es of this email to discuss the (2) topics below. If you could let Jacob know your %me frame, prior to re-submi?al I would assume, he can find a %me that works for all of us! Jacob- Please include Taylor on the invite I will be sure to touch base with him before the mee%ng if he cannot a?end.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Mikaela, I wanted follow-up on my correspondence below to see if you have any input on using the Joint Parking agreement rather than an easement and facilita%ng a discussion on the access permiOng. I copied Taylor on this as we have worked together in the past and I assume he would part of the review of the requested Modifica%on. Hope you had a great holiday weekend. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Erik Garberg, P.E.

Garberg Sent: Friday, November 10, 2023 9:40 AM To: EI Mikaela Schultz (mschultz@BOZEMAN.NET) <mschultz@BOZEMAN.NET> Cc: Jake T. Grubisch <Jake.T.Grubisch@imegcorp.com> Subject: 22-341 Pines Phase 2 SP - Comment Questions Mikaela, I am Erik Garberg, a new engineer at IMEG. Jake has asked me for support on the following two comments related to the above referenced project. 1. 003 C2.0 OVERALL SITE PLAN.pdf BMC 38.410.060 - easements; BMC 38.400.010 A.8 - secondary access - The applicant must provide a 30' mutual access easement through the neighboring property to the west to provide secondary access to the subject property from South 12th Avenue. The city standard mutual access easement template(s) (corporate or private) are uploaded to the city documents file. Please fill out the template, provide a surveyed exhibit of the easement and submit to the review engineer for dra& review. Once the easement dra& is deemed acceptable by the review engineer, the applicant may execute the easement with the applicable property owners. Site plan approval will be condi%onal of receipt of the hard copy of the executed easement by the review engineer, final city approval and execu%on, and filing of the easement with the county clerk and recorder. 2. 003 C2.0 OVERALL SITE PLAN.pdf BMC 38.400.090 - Access - The proposed full access on to south 19th Avenue does not meet spacing requirements for access loca%on on a Principal Arterial street. Sec%on H. - Modifica%ons of property access standards - The applicant must request a Modifica%on to the access standards with subsequent submi?als. A par%al access condi%on is encouraged by the city authority at this %me. The property access must be approved by the review authority prior to site plan approval. For the easement issue (1) we do not believe a mutual access agreement is possible as both proper%es are owned by the same en%ty/person. To resolve this I would recommend using the Joint Parking Facility Agreement (UDC 38.540.060). This would allow us to create a binding agreement, that the City could be party to, ensuring the parking/access is shared between the two properties. Addressing the access issue (2) would it be possible/acceptable to talk to your traffic engineer directly, Taylor Lonsdale I believe? Before collecting any data such and turning movements or measuring queue lengths I think it would be appropriate to have a discussion to define key concerns and issues. With the raised median I do not believe there would be any issues using a partial access for the approach. In summary I am seeking input on the use of Joint Parking Facility Agreement (as an alternative to an easement) and a brief discussion with the City traffic engineer to define the scope of the Modification requested. Thanks! 4 Erik Garberg, P.E.
