We understand the City of Bozeman is considering locations for a new municipal groundwater
facility located in the southern area of Bozeman in the near future. As part of the evaluation

phases. The first phase will be to review up to five different property locations to determine
which property will best suit the project needs. The second phase will be to conduct acquisition
services to acquire real property interests to allow the City to construct a new municipal
groundwater facility. Clear Route will initially coordinate with up to five properties and will
conduct negotiations with the identified property, further detailed on the attached Exhibit A.
Thank you for including our team to assist with this project. Feel free to call me at 406-208-7919

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Tom Rogers, Senior Planner
Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Interim Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:Resolution, Adoption of the 1727 Kenyon Drive Annexation, Annexing 0.903
acres, Application 25051
MEETING DATE:January 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Adopt Resolution 2026- _____.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:The Commission unanimously (5:0) approved Application 25051 on August
13, 2025, to annex 0.903 acres and establish an initial zoning designation of
R-1, Residential Low-Density District, subject to terms of annexation and
contingencies for zoning. Final documents and easements have been
received.
The property is addressed at 1727 Kenyon Drive. The property owner owns
two adjacent parcels, one being in city limits and the other, the subject of
the annexation, was not. The property not within city limits is undeveloped.
The property is currently zoned R-S, Residential Suburban, in the Gallatin
County Bozeman Area Zoning district. There are no structures on the
property to be annexed. Annexed property adjacent are zoned R-1 and other
un-annexed properties are also zoned R-S in the County, including a portion
of the Burk Park (Peets Hill).
The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 (BCP2020) designates this and the
surrounding property as Urban Neighborhood on the Future Land Use Map.
The R-1 district is an implementing district of this land use classification.
Upon final review and examination of the parcel description it was
determined the property has been aggregated through an amended plat
process, see the Aldworth’s Rearrangement, Plat J-287). Therefore, Term of
Annexation No. 12 which stated, “A legal instrument, signed by the property
62
owner, must be filed in the Office of the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder
concurrently with the annexation agreement stating that the subject
property may not be sold or transferred separately from the parent parcel
without prior written approval of the City. The City will prepare the
instrument for final signing and recordation with the Gallatin County Clerk
and Recorder Office,” is moot and not included in the signed annexation
agreement.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
will be changed by this Annexation or Zone Map Amendment. Future
development will incur costs and generate review according to standard City
practices.

WITNES S ETH :
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Recitals
The above recitals are true and correct.
2. Annexation
The Landowner filed an application for annexation of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE
ANNEXATION with the City on January 31, 2025. By execution of this Agreement, the City
manifests its intent to annex the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION tract pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 46, Mont.
70
1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION Agreement 4
Code Ann. the City shall, upon execution of this Agreement, adopt a Resolution of Annexation of
the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION. Further, upon the execution of this Agreement, the
Landowner shall do all things required by this Agreement and all things necessary and proper to
aid and assist the City in carrying out the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and
to effect the annexation of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION.
3. Services Provided
The City will, upon annexation, make available to the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION
existing City services only to the extent currently available, or as provided in this Agreement.
4. Municipal Water Service Defined
The term "municipal water service" as is used in this agreement shall be the service which
is supplied by the City in accordance with Chapter 40, Article 2, Bozeman Municipal Code, as
amended, as well as any other terms and conditions which apply to the City's provision of
municipal water service but does not include the extension of lines or construction of necessary
improvements at any cost to the City for delivery of water to and within the 1727 KENYON DRIVE
ANNEXATION. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the City to pay for right-of-way acquisition,
engineering, construction, and other costs for the delivery of water to or within the 1727 KENYON
DRIVE ANNEXATION to include, but not limited to, any impact fees, hook-up, connection, or
development charges which have been or may be established by the City.
5. Municipal Sewer Service Defined
The term "municipal sewer service" as is used in this Agreement shall be the service which
is supplied by the City in accordance with Chapter 40, Article 3, Bozeman Municipal Code, as
amended, as well as any other terms and conditions which apply to the City's provision of this
71
1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION Agreement 5
service but does not include the extension of lines or construction of necessary improvements at
any cost to the City for collection of sewage at and within the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION.
Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the City to pay for right-of-way acquisition, engineering,
construction, and other costs for the collection of sewage services to or within the 1727 KENYON
DRIVE ANNEXATION to include, but not limited to, any impact fees, hookup, connection, or
development charges which may be established by the City.
6. Water Rights
The Landowner specifically recognizes and agrees that provisions for water rights or cash
in-lieu of water rights shall be provided upon further development or subdivision of the property
in accordance with Section 38.410.130, Bozeman Municipal Code and as may be amended. The
amount of water rights or cash-in-lieu thereof due at the time of further development or
subdivision of the property will be calculated based on the annual demand for volume of water
the development will require multiplied by the most current annual unit price in effect on the date
the water rights are transferred or payment-in-lieu of water rights is to be made to the City. As
such, the Landowner acknowledges that the rates for cash in-lieu of water rights may increase
over time as established by Resolution of the City Commission. As such, the Landowner
acknowledges that the rates for cash in-lieu of water rights may increase over time as established
by Resolution of the City Commission. Domestic water demand from the single residential house
falls below the City threshold (0.25AF). Therefore, no cash-in-lieu of water is required.
7. Comprehensive Water and Water Design Report
Prior to future development of the property the City may require the Landowner to have
prepared by a Professional Engineer, at Landowner’s sole expense, a comprehensive design
72
1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION Agreement 6
report evaluating existing capacity of sewer and water utilities in the area. The report must include
hydraulic evaluations of each utility for both existing and post-development demands, and the
report findings must demonstrate adequate capacity to serve the full development of the land. If
adequate infrastructure capacity is not available for the proposed development, the report must
identify necessary water or wastewater system improvements necessary for the proposed
development. If improvements to this water or wastewater system are necessary, the Landowner
agrees prior to development of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION to complete, at
Landowner’s expense, the necessary system improvements to serve the proposed development.
8. Future Development Limitations
The Landowner shall be responsible for installing all facilities required to provide full
municipal services to the property in accordance with the City’s Infrastructure Master Plans and
all City regulations, policies and guidelines that may be in effect at the time of any future
development. Thus, Landowner understands and agrees Landowner has no right, either granted
or implied, for it to further develop any of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION until it is verified
by the City that the necessary municipal services, including but not limited to police and fire
protection, parks and recreation, transportation, and sewer and water capacity, are available to
all or a portion of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION. Notice is thus provided to the
Landowner that prior to additional development of the property, the Landowner will be solely
responsible for installing, at Landowner’s sole expense, any facilities or infrastructure required to
provide full municipal services to the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION in accordance with the

ANNEXATION for a system designed to remove solids, oils, grease, and other pollutants from the
runoff from public streets and other impermeable surfaces may be required to be provided to and
approved by the City Engineer at the time of any future development. The plan must demonstrate
that adequate treatment of runoff from public streets, other impermeable surfaces, and all future
lots will be achieved by providing spot elevations, flow direction arrows, detention and/or
retention basin details (including basin sizing calculations and basin typical sections), outlet
structure details, and culvert capacity calculations. The plan must also locate and provide
easements for adequate drainage ways within the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION to transport
treated runoff to the stormwater receiving channel. The plan shall include site grading and
elevation information, typical stormwater detention/retention basin and discharge structure
details, basin sizing calculations, and stormwater maintenance plan. Landowner recognizes the

approval of development of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION.

C. Landowner agrees that in the event an SID is not utilized for the completion of these
improvements as described in subsections A above, the Landowner shall participate in an
alternative financing method for the completion of said improvements on a fair share,
proportionate basis as determined by the City on the basis of the square footage of property,
taxable valuation of the property, traffic contribution from the development or a combination
thereof.
11. Impact Fees
Landowner acknowledges that annexation and development of their property will impact
the City’s existing street, water and sewer infrastructure, and the City’s fire service. As approved

time of connection to city sewer services.
The amount of impact fee the Landowner or its successors pay for connection to the city’s
water and sewer services, if any, shall be calculated based on the provisions of the Bozeman
Municipal Code, as amended, in effect at the time of application for a permit to connect. The
amount of street or fire impact fees to be paid, if any, shall be calculated based on the provisions
of the Bozeman Municipal Code, as amended, in effect at the time an application for building
permit is submitted.
Landowner further understands and agrees that any improvements, either on-site or off-
site, necessary to provide connection of the 1727 KENYON DRIVE ANNEXATION municipal
services and which are wholly attributable to the property as determined exclusively by the city
are considered “project related improvements” as defined in Chapter 2, Article 6, Division 9,
Bozeman Municipal Code, as amended, and as such, are not eligible for impact fee credits.
If Landowner defaults on this condition at the time such is to be performed, and should
default not be remedied or corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice by City to the
Landowner and Landowner/Developer of such default, City may at its option:
A) Declare the amounts owing for impact fees immediately due and payable
and City shall have the right and privilege to take legal action against
Landowners for the collection of such sum, including the entry of any
judgment. In addition, the City may, at its option, enforce payment of such
amount by levying an assessment on the property.
B) Elect any other remedy available to City under the laws of the State of
Montana.

6. Water Rights
The Landowner specifically recognizes and agrees the Landowner must provide water

accordance with Section 38.410.130, Bozeman Municipal Code. The City will calculate the
amount of water rights or cash-in-lieu thereof due at the time of further development or
subdivision of the property based on the annual demand for volume of water the development will

hydraulic evaluations of each utility for both existing and post-development demands, and the
report findings must demonstrate adequate capacity to serve the full development of the land. If
adequate infrastructure capacity is not available for the proposed development, the report must
identify water or wastewater system improvements necessary for the proposed development. If
improvements to this water or wastewater system are necessary, the Landowner agrees prior to
development of the 1519 ALDER COURT LANE ANNEXATION to complete, at Landowner’s
expense, the necessary system improvements to serve the proposed development.
8. Future Development Limitations

municipal services to the property in accordance with the City’s Infrastructure Master Plans and
all City regulations, policies and guidelines that may be in effect at the time of any future
development. Thus, Landowner understands and agrees Landowner has no right, either granted
or implied, for it to further develop any of the 1519 ALDER COURT LANE ANNEXATION until it is
verified by the City that the necessary municipal services, including but not limited to police and
fire protection, parks and recreation, transportation, and sewer and water capacity, are available

two adjacent parcels, one being in city limits and the other, the subject of
the annexation, was not. The property not within city limits is undeveloped.
The property is currently zoned R-S, Residential Suburban, in the Gallatin
County Bozeman Area Zoning district. There are no structures on the
property to be annexed. Annexed property adjacent are zoned R-1 and other
un-annexed properties are also zoned R-S in the County, including a portion

The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 (BCP2020) designates this and the
surrounding property as Urban Neighborhood on the Future Land Use Map.
The R-1 district is an implementing district of this land use classification.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
116
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
will be changed by this Annexation or Zone Map Amendment. Future

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:Provisionally adopt Ordinance 2026-_____.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,

establishment of zoning motions, Application 24428 on March 25, 2025, to
annex 0.44 acres and establish initial zoning designations of R-4, Residential

zoning. Final documents and easements have been received.
The property is a part of the Beatty’s Subdivision and addressed at 1519

Beatty’s Subdivision was subdivided in 1956. Little change has occurred since
the construction of the homes on these lots apart from the Lincoln

to the north and east of the subject property. The Bridgeview
Condominiums is a 42-unit residential development in three buildings.
Adjacent city zoning includes R-4, R-2, and R-S districts. The properties to the
south and east have not been annexed and are zoned R-S, Residential
Suburban in the Gallatin County/Bozeman Area Zoning District.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
124
will be changed by this Annexation or Zone Map Amendment. Future
development will incur costs and generate review according to standard City
practices.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Nicholas Ross, Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:College St 8th to 11th Renovation Work Session Continued
MEETING DATE:January 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Receive presentation and advise staff on preferred alternatives for final
design.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver
information to the community and our partners.
BACKGROUND:This item is a continuation of a City Commission work session on the subject
project begun on October 21st, 2025.
After a presentation from city staff on conceptual design options which
included removal of street parking along the south curb of College St in
order to extend an existing shared use path from the west within existing
right-of-way, Commission received significant public comment on the
importance of maintaining street parking. In response, Commission asked
staff to re-engage with Montana State University (MSU) leadership in search
of commitment for the necessary easements that would allow street parking
to remain. Subsequent city-MSU meetings resulted in gaining support from
MSU for an easement that would allow for parking to remain.
The continuation of this work session will present this update along with
preliminary design. Staff seeks Commission support on the revised scope of
final design.
The city of Bozeman has appropriated funding in the FY26 Operating Budget
for a renovation of College Street from 8th to 11th as approved in the FY26-
30 Capital Improvement Plan. The city intends to bid the project in late-
winter 2026 with construction following the end of the Montana State
University school year in order to avoid schedule conflicts with the upcoming
Kagy Boulevard Reconstruction planned for 2027-2028.
The consultant team of TD&H Engineering and Kittelson have been hired to
lead design of the project. Tasks completed to date include survey,
geotechnical investigation, and traffic study with conceptual alternatives.
133
City staff has led public engagement with the intent of confirming the scope
of improvements for final design. Having considered feedback received, staff
proposes the following scope of improvements for final design:
Mill & Overlay of pavement surface
Reconstruction of north sidewalk and addition of boulevard with
appropriate street trees
Maintain parking lane along south curb
Addition of shared use path and boulevard with appropriate street
trees along south curb
Addition of elevated mid-block crosswalk with Rapid Rectangular
Flashing Beacon (RRFB) between 9th and 10th street
Removal of limited driveway cuts along north curb with addition of
street parking
Maintain existing all-way stop control at S 8th intersection
Commission and members of the public are asked to review the FY26-30 CIP
and the project Engage page prior to the work session.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Scope of Final Design.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Project SIF157 has been allocated $2,465,800 from the Arterial & Collector
District in the FY26 Operation Budget. Current cost estimate of proposed
improvements is approximately $1,500,000.

Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interests, and
qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I ran for Bozeman City Commission in 2025 based on my first-hand experience
working/volunteering in Bozeman as a marketing professional and a CAP Mentor with Thrive
which together give me a unique and close look into the lives and needs of community
members. My specific qualifications come through degrees in both Political Science and
Public Administration. And my sole interest, as interests relate here, is doing everything that
I can contribute to the betterment of our growing city. The things I learned and the
relationships that I've fostered through my campaign, paired with my directly-relatable
experience and qualifications, all on top of my raw passion for being actively engaged in
benefiting Bozeman's future, make me a plug-and-play fit to serve on the Community
Development Board.
On December 19, 2023, the City Commission adopted the Belonging in
Bozeman Plan via <a
href="https://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink/DocView.aspx?
id=291616&dbid=0&repo=BOZEMAN" target="_blank"
rel="noopener">Resolution 5556</a>. Please describe your understanding of
the Belonging in Bozeman Plan and any thoughts related to implementing
the plan.
My understanding of the Belonging in Bozeman Plan is that it was established to address any
potential systematic inequities, especially in regard to housing, health, mobility, economic
opportunity for residents. The plan features 98 made recommendations which, collectively,
effectively influence how new development, city services, and civic processes evolve. It is
rooted in data, referred to as "Equity Indicators," which allows for objective review and I
believe that to be an imperative component to any plan.

Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interests, and
qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
As an environmental science major, I do not just specialize in analyzing policy and projects
through nonbiased, holistic perspectives. With my experience throughout my major, all of my
education has contributed to me understanding key issues such as soil health, water
allocation, energy use, and natural habitat creation. Additionally, as both an over-involved
MSU student and an over-involved participant, I know I bring a unique perspective to
community development in terms of sustainability. Some key experiences that would make
me a good fit for this board include: 1. My previous employment with the Well-Educated well
water extension program 2. My leadership in organizations such as Citizens Climate Lobby
MSU, Campus Climate Coalition (Climate Week) MSU, and Grow Our World MSU 3. My
internship at Shanghai Disney's Environmental Affairs team 4. My experience in city
government with my Student Advisory Council initiative proposal

rel="noopener">Resolution 5556</a>. Please describe your understanding of
the Belonging in Bozeman Plan and any thoughts related to implementing
the plan.
The Belonging in Bozeman Plan, at its core, aims to support diversity of sexuality, gender,
race, and ethnicity both within the city of Bozeman government, and within policy/action of
the Bozeman city police. Suggestions: 1. The BPD should be implementing community
outreach that involves teaching citizen's self-defense: especially in pepper spray workshops.
Many students I know carry pepper spray, and frankly, wouldn't know how to use it if (god
forbid) they were in a dangerous situation. This is a great opportunity for the BPD to not just
connect with the community but actively empower them in a relevant field. 2. The City of
Bozeman should make an effort to encourage applications from youth. While many students
are still engaged in educational pursuits- they still have valuable experience, perspectives,
and abilities that is lacking from the City of Bozeman.

Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interests, and
qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
From the start of my professional pursuits, I have been passionate about community
building. I’ve surrounded myself with like minded individuals in pursuit of making our
collective surrounding the best version it can be. My professional experiences have been
based solely in architecture, art and design. I’ve been designing high end homes in Montana
for the last 5 years and before that, pursued a Master’s of Fine Arts in Ohio, where I am
originally from. Now that I am working remote, I am looking for ways to stay involved in the
built environment around Bozeman. I am a devoted community member and would love the
opportunity to serve on a board that is relevant to development and architecture. My
personal experiences are rooted in my insatiable desire to make things. Thankfully, I am
passionate about upcycling things and creating a sustainable practice that reuses until
something is unusable anymore. I paint, I sew clothes and sell them, and I shoot
photography for live music productions. These interests keep me present in the community
and allow me to express my creativity while sharing it with others.

the Belonging in Bozeman Plan and any thoughts related to implementing
the plan.
My understanding of the Belonging in Bozeman Plan is that we are committed to a non-
discriminatory process for employment, pay and altogether an inclusive community. This
includes discrimination towards women, BIPOC, and any inequalities faced by humans. My
thoughts are that this is a must in establishing and developing a city that feels like home to
its inhabitants. A plan like this is crucial to the well being and prosperity of a city and I am
proud that Bozeman has adopted this.

Erik Bonnett 153
Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interests, and
qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
In addition to my general experience as an architect involved in the building industry for two
decades my career and practice has focused on several areas of innovation within the built
environment that play out at the community development scale. For instance, as the
architect of record for the Bozeman Cohousing project, I worked closely with staff and
members of the public to create the first cohousing community in Montana and as well as I
believe the first Zero Net Energy residential community in Montana. This project is typical of
more than a dozen I have worked to design across the country. This experience means that I
have a good understanding of the way that that planning approaches are applied both to
typical and atypical projects locally and within a broader context. Our practice also robustly
involves the future residents in the neighborhood design process, so I have a strong ability to
engage the public around design and planning, including working to understand stakeholder
input, recognize patterns, as well as valuable outlier ideas. Earlier at Rocky Mountain
Institute I contributed to the creation of the LEED for Neighborhood Development standard,
which is experience that would be useful in helping translate the city's sustainability goals
into action. I would also like to note my activism in the UDC adoption process, including
organizing architects to participate. I specifically would like to highlight the role I played
working to build consensus between the Better Bozeman Coalition and pro-housing
advocates. I was quoted in the Bozeman Chronicle saying “What are the shared values that
people are coming to this conversation with? I think a lot of them actually overlap. There’s
legitimate disagreements, but I think there’s common ground. ...Hopefully we can get to a
place where we all live in the city together and treat each other well.” This attitude will
reflect my service on the board: seeking to listen to all and build consensus around a
positive vision for the future of our city.
On December 19, 2023, the City Commission adopted the Belonging in
Bozeman Plan via <a

rel="noopener">Resolution 5556</a>. Please describe your understanding of
the Belonging in Bozeman Plan and any thoughts related to implementing
the plan.
My understanding is that I have reviewed the document, especially focusing on the history
and housing sections. The general approach to inclusion and understanding diversity aligned
with past personal and professional work I have done. A recent thought I have on
implementation is lamenting recent backsliding like the need to rename MSU's Diversity and
Inclusion Student Commons to the Student Commons. However, this is just a new context
into which the urgent work of the Plan needs to fit. Specifically in the housing sections five
goals are more pertinent than ever.
