Water Adequacy: The development will need to satisfy the water adequacy code requirement prior to a future site plan approval. If sufficient water rights cant be provided to offsets the development's annual demand then a cash-in-lieu of water rights (CILWR) payment will be required. The City assesses the CILWR fee at a rate of $6,000 per acre-foot. The fee determination will take place during the site plan review, however if there are any questions or if a preliminary review is desired please contact Griffin Nielsen with the Engineering/Utilities Department directly at gnielsen@bozeman.net or (406) 582-2279. The City encourages the use of groundwater wells to supply irrigation demands, which in turn will reduce the CILWR fee. Applicant must obtain a pre-determination from the DNRC demonstrating that a well groundwater well may be permitted under Montanas exempt appropriation or that provide the water right documentation if existing prior to finalization of the CILWR fee determination. Finally, the City would like to make the owner aware of an available CILWR rebate of approximately 20% for residential units if high- efficiency fixtures (toilets, washers, and shower heads) meeting the City Water Conservation Division standards are installed. The rebate would be released at occupancy and requires an agreement defining the terms and amount rebate be finalized and executed prior to final plan approval. If the owner is interested or has any questions please reach out to Griffin Nielsen. Understood - We will coordinate with Griffin after he provides the CILWR calculation as a part of the SP review.

Fire Riser Room shall have exterior access with sidewalk to public way and include the Fire Alarm Control Panel. On future plans show location. Existing tree encroaching into alley (located off proposed SE corner of structure) would require major trimming or best removal. This would allow safe deployment of fire department ladder truck in emergency response.

Georeferenced boundaries. Except where not available, the regulated flood hazard area boundaries in BMC section 38.600.110 shall be determined by using the official geographic information system georeferenced boundary data provided by FEMA 2. Delineated boundaries. The exact location of the regulated flood hazard area boundary shall be delineated where the base flood elevation intersects natural ground. Except as provided in subsection B.1 of this section, the boundaries of the regulatory floodway shall be determined from the official flood insurance rate maps and floodway data tables in the flood insurance study. The applicant has shown the georeferenced FEMA floodway boundary on the provided concept exhibit. However, a detailed site-specific delineated boundary is required to determine the exact location of the regulated flood hazard boundary as it relates to the subject property. The applicant is advised that the subject property is adjacent to the Church Avenue Split, which is a mapped floodway, and has specific regulatory base flood elevations. The delineated floodplain boundary must account for the Flood Insurance Study flood profile across the entire length of the property. Please update the projects exhibit to show the delineated base flood elevation (BFE) boundary. The subject property is located between Church Ave Split Cross Section A and B, so the intervening BFE intersection point will need to be determined from the Church Ave Split Flood profile. The applicant will need to provide supporting documentation and how the elevation was determined (i.e. FIS and Floodplain profiles showing the calculations) and certified by A professional engineer's or surveyor within their respective areas of expertise. The applicant is advised per BMC 38.600.270.D.6; if the site-specific delineation determines any part of the building is in the floodplain, then the building must meet FEMA compliance. Residential building structures shall be elevated so that the lowest floor is at least two feet above the base flood elevation. Based on the information provided, there is inadequate information to Floodplain permint will be submitted concurrently.
