engineerssurveyorsplannersscientists Memo 1 To: James Nickelson, PE; Cooper Krause, PE; Christine Pearcy From: Russell Rosenberg, RG Date: 12/19/2025 Job No.: 10130.104 RE: Laurel Meadows – Bozeman UDC Water Rights Submittal CC: Urgent For Review Please Comment Please Reply For Your Use 1 INTRODUCTION This memo documents compliance of the Laural Meadows subdivision (Norton East Ranch Sub Ph 6, Lot R1A – R1D, Gallatin County, Montana) Phases I and II with the adopted development standards for water right submittal under the City of Bozeman, Montana Unified Development Code (UDC) – ORD.2151 Adoption Draft dated December 16, 2025. Water rights submittal falls under Sec. 38.710.050.A.19 of the UDC Adoption Draft. The subject property is located in the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ and the E ¼ of the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 09, Township 02 South, Range 05 East. 2 DESCRIPTION OF INTENT TO SATISFY UDC SEC. 38.410.110 The proposed subdivision is planned for completion in four phases. Phases I and II of the subdivision (this submittal) have a net estimated water demand of 28.37 acre-feet/year. This water demand is proposed to be supplied entirely by municipal water from the City of Bozeman, acquired through a cash-in-lieu arrangement for water rights. No offsets to the cash-in-lieu of agreement are proposed. 3 APPURTENANT WATER RIGHTS DOCUMENTATION The following section provides documentation of all water rights appurtenant to or in use upon the property with the proposed subdivision. 3.1 Description of Research Methods The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) Water Rights Query System and Water Rights Spatial files were searched for water right places of use (POU) that intersect the subdivision property boundary (see Figure 1). The water rights database was searched only for “active”, “pending”, or “suspended” rights. The results of the search are presented in Table 1. 2 Laurel Meadows – Bozeman UDC Water Rights Submittal Table 1: Appurtenant/Associated Water Rights Water Right No(s).

No appurtenant ditch share or stock certificates exist for the subject property. 3.3 Adopted Water Court Rulings For all the appurtenant water rights identified in Table 1 – 41H 138891 00, 41H 138892 00, and 41H 138895 00 – all publicly available water right files and file updates were downloaded from the DNRC’s Water Rights Query System. All available Master’s Reports or closing orders issued by the Montana Water Court for these rights are included in Attachment B. 3.4 Water Right Ownership All the appurtenant water rights identified in Table 1 – 41H 138891 00, 41H 138892 00, and 41H 138895 00 – are controlled by the owner of the subject property as identified on the provided water rights abstracts. 3.5 Point of Diversion and Conveyance Maps A map showing the point of diversion and conveyance for water rights no. 41H 138891 00, 41H 138892 00, and 41H 138895 00 is included in Attachment C. 3.6 Evidence of Beneficial Use No clear evidence exists of beneficial use within the prior five-year period for the three stock water rights appurtenant to the subject property. All remaining water rights identified in Table 1 have been severed from the listed POUs, were never apparently operated on the subject property, or use has been discontinued based on the available information as outlined below in section 3.7. 3.7 Additional Information The following section outlines additional information acquired relating to the water rights owned by the Farmer’s Canal Co., Bozeman Lakes LLC/PIB LLC, and the Montana DNRC as identified in Table 1. Based on this information, it is our opinion that beneficial use of water associated with these rights was either never conducted within the boundaries of the proposed subdivision or is not under current use within the boundaries of the proposed subdivision. Corroborating information discussed below is included in Attachment D. 4 Laurel Meadows – Bozeman UDC Water Rights Submittal 3.7.1 Farmers Canal Company Morrison-Maierle, Inc. conducted field visits to the subject property in May 2021, June 2021, and April 2022. During our field visits, we identified an abandoned “agricultural drain/man-made canal” that runs along the west side of Baxter Creek. However, we identified no source flow to the ditch on the south side, and no outflow on the north side. A headgate and culvert pipe were observed upended and non-operational near the mid-section of the ditch within the subject property. No impacts to the remnant ditch nor Baxter Creek are proposed for the project. Additionally, Morrison-Maierle, Inc. provided a notice of intent to develop the subject property to the Farmer’s Canal Co. on November 11, 2025, and no comments have been received in response to this notification. 3.7.2 Bozeman Lakes LLC/PIB LLC Documentation within the full water right file for right no. 41H 22554 00 indicates that although a portion of the legal POU associated with the right is described as the entire NE ¼ of Section 9 (overlapping with the subject parcel), the POU map within the water right file shows that water associated with this right was not used within the bounds of the proposed subdivision. 3.7.3 Montana DNRC The legal POU described for water right no. 41H 58294 00 encompasses effectively all of Township 2 South, Ranges 5 and 6 East. However, no evidence of use of this right on the subject parcel is known, as further indicated by a service area map from the full file for the water right. 4 DNRC APPROVAL No DNRC approval for any proposed appropriation or proposed use of water subject to MCA 85-2-306 or MCA 85-2-402 for which DNRC approval is required for this project. Use of the existing stock water rights appurtenant to the subject property will be discontinued. 5 UDC 38.410.110.B APPLICABILITY Compliance with UDC 38.410.100.B is triggered as the anticipated net average municipal water demand for phases I and II of the subdivision (this submittal) is 28.37 acre-feet/year and no water demand offsets have been requested for this project. 6 WATER EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION OFFSETS All open space and park irrigation for the proposed subdivision will be designed to meet City of Bozeman standards. No additional water efficiency or conservation measures or offsets are proposed. 7 CASH IN LIEU All lots in the proposed subdivision will be required to pay for water through a cash payment in lieu of water rights. No deferrals will be sought. 03 10 05 15 09 08 1617 04 2S 5E KleinschmidtCanalWest Ga l la t inCanal (K le in schm id M aynard-Borde r (Farm ersCana l)Far mer s Can a l Farmers Canal Maynard-Border(FarmersCanal)F a r m ersC a n a lFarmersCanalMaynard-Border(FarmersCanal)Fa r mersCan alProposedFar me r s Ca n a l Maynard-Border(FarmersCanal)Farmers CanalFarme rs Cana l 41H 30147029 41H 30147030 41H 30147031 41H 30147028 41H 138899 00 41H 138898 00 41H 138902 00 41H 138903 00 41H 58294 00 41H 120531 00 41H 120536 00 41H 120537 00 41H 120533 00 41H 120534 00 41H 120535 00 41H 120530 00 41H 120532 0041H 22554 00 41H 138891 00 41H 138895 00 41H 138892 00 41H 138892 00 Vantor N:\10130\Water Rights Code Update Review\GIS\WR_Code_Review\LaurelMeadows_WR_FINAL.aprx; Plotted: 12/17/2025 COPYRIGHT © MORRISON-MAIERLE, INC., 2880 Technology Blvd WestBozeman, MT 59718 Phone: (406) 587-0721 Laurel Meadows Subdivision Appurtenant/Associated Water RightsBozeman MT FIGURE NO.
