RE: Concurrent Construction Request – Hidden Creek Residential Development
On behalf of our client, we are requesting concurrent construction for the required public
infrastructure improvements for the proposed Hidden Creek residential development located
within Lot 1 of Tract B, C.O.S. 2439; southwest of the intersection between Oak Park Drive and
Juniper Street, in Bozeman, MT.
The required public improvements are for a water main extension and extension of Oak Park
Drive to serve the property. The proposed water main runs under the proposed extension of Oak
Park Drive, North to South connecting to existing water mains located under Juniper Street and
within Lot 2 of Tract B, C.O.S. 2439 (the south adjacent property). The improvements are
required for the proposed development of five apartment buildings.
Based on the Bozeman Unified Development Code (UDC), Section 38.270.030.C.1 b&c we
believe the following conditions allowing concurrent construction are met.
38.270.030.C.1.b The water mains, sewer mains and streets to be extended to provide
service to the development are: located within a publicly dedicated right-
of-way or easement; constructed to city standards; are physically adjacent;
are installed and accepted by the city; and are adequate in capacity to
provide necessary service to the proposed development; and comply with
the requirements of this subsection C.1.b and subsection C.1.c of this
section;
Response:
1. The water main extension and Oak Park Drive will be within a publicly dedicated
right-of-way and easement.
2. The required main extension and street will be constructed to City Standards.
3. The water main and street extension are on and adjacent to the lot on which the
residential development is being built.

4. The water main extension is the same size as the mains being connected to. The
water main extension loops into existing mains. The water main extension is of
adequate capacity to provide necessary service to the proposed development.
5. The required public utility and access easement is included in this site plan
application for review and processing.
38.270.030.C.1.c Water mains, sewer mains and streets shall meet the following
requirements:
(1) Any required on-site extensions of water mains, sewer mains or streets to be
dedicated to the public shall be located entirely within publicly held easements or
rights-of-way; shall serve only a single lot; are the subject of an irrevocable offer
of dedication to the city upon completion of the project; the development is under
the control of a single developer who shall retain control of the entire project until
final completion; all work is under the supervision of a single general contractor;
and no subdivision of land is involved;
Response:
1. The water main extension will serve three adjacent lots with the ability to
serve future development of the neighboring properties and will be located
within a Public Right of Way and Easement. The required public utility
and access easement is included in this site plan application for review.
2. The water main extension is being constructed for the Hidden Creek
residential development with the ability to serve neighboring properties in
the future.
3. The developer agrees to the required irrevocable offer of dedication of the
improvements to the city upon completion of the project.
4. The water main extension will be under the control of a single developer
who shall retain control of the entire project until final completion.
5. All work will be under the supervision of a single general contractor.
6. No subdivision of land is involved with this site plan approval. All
subdivision of land shall occur before site plan approval.
(2) The DRC shall determine when the standards of this subsection C.1 are met. The
fire department must consider whether adequate fire protection services are
available from existing hydrants, and water supply exists to meet needs during
construction. If adequate fire protection does not exist then concurrent
infrastructure and building construction may only occur under the provisions of

subsection C.1.c.(3) of this section. Based on evaluation by the fire department,
simultaneous construction of infrastructure to be dedicated to the public and
private construction may be permitted only within a defined portion of the site;
Response:
1. Scott Mueller of the Bozeman Fire Department will be contacted at the
appropriate time with regards to this request to allow concurrent construction.
(3) Approval of the final engineering design, including location and grade, for the
infrastructure project must be obtained from the engineering department, and the
state department of environmental quality when applicable, prior to issuance of
any building permit for the development;
Response:
1. Infrastructure design will be submitted for review and approval by the City of
Bozeman for both the water main and road extension, and by DEQ for the
water main following site plan approval and prior to concurrent construction
approval.
(4) No occupancy, either temporary or final, may be issued until all on-site and
offsite water, sewer and street or drive improvements are installed and accepted or
approved as applicable by the city.
Response:
1. The owner acknowledges no occupancy of any structures or commencement of
any use will be allowed until required infrastructure improvements have been
completed, inspected and accepted by the city, and a certificate of occupancy has
been issued.

proposal, please feel free to call us at 406-586-0262.
