In order to create something extraordinary for the community, we will need to approach and process this project in unique ways. While otherwise following the code, we hope to have overlapping reviews that will allow us to begin building the baseball park while neighborhood (subdivision & infrastructure) projects trail. In the end, the landscape intensive park is completed as significant roads are later finished, and the neighborhood plat is finalized. 3. Site Plan Narrative A. General Site Information The applicant is proposing to develop a portion of the 80-acre parcel that was recently annexed as “Baxter 80”. The overall goal of the project is to create a state-of-the-art baseball park/complex (Diamond 8) on the majority of the site. Time is of the essence to create this extraordinary and unique park project for the community. There will eventually be residential, and potentially mixed-use, neighborhood on the southern portion of the project, following the park development. This area will complement the park and proceeds from development represents an important funding source for the overall community project. The project site is located west of the Northwest Crossing neighborhood and north of the Laurel Glen neighborhood. The site is bounded by Oak Street to the south, Baxter Lane to the north, and Laurel Parkway (unbuilt) to the east. The primary entrance into the project will be off Laurel Parkway through the extension of Harvest Parkway. This road will be extended down the middle of the site and will be the backbone of the transportation network. For Diamond 8, the main parking lot will be located off this road. Due to existing roadways (and classifications), only one other street (Forest Glen Drive) will be extended north of Oak Street. This sets up the vehicular/pedestrian circulation and block structure for the neighborhood. The block structure established by the presence of critical lands and the extension of existing (and master planned) streets creates a unique pattern. North of Harvest Parkway, the block length needed to accommodate the baseball facility is longer than the current code allows. The main reason for this is to create a more pedestrian-friendly (and safe) environment for visitors, and to allow for a more efficient use of space for the baseball complex. A similar approach is seen at the Bozeman Sports Park. The project site will feature pedestrian mid-block crossings to allow pedestrians to travel east and west, as well as north and south. From a land use perspective, there are two main components. First and foremost, north of Harvest Parkway will be a public park. Please see the project partnership framework included in this application package. South of Harvest Parkway will be divided into lots with a future subdivision application. The applicant wants to maintain flexibility for those future parcels and, as such, will allow any land use that is permitted in the applicable zoning district in effect at the time of application. Given the main road layout and the possible future buildable areas, the applicant is estimating 15.26 buildable acres on the south side of the site. Please see the land use table below for more information on the breakdown. This is conceptual for planning purposes, and areas may be slightly adjusted as individual site plan applications are brought forward. Area (AC) Area (SF) Percent of Site Rights-of-Ways 9.23 AC 402,058.80 SF 12% Open Space 7.77 AC 338,461.20 SF 10% Public Park 47.50 AC 2,069,100.00 SF 60% Developable areas 15.26 AC 664,725.60 SF 19% Total 79.77 AC 3,474,781.20 SF 100% B. Site Considerations Setbacks The setbacks applied to this project will be unique for the northern portion of the site. The project site is currently zoned R-C and R-D, but the northern portion will be developed as a public park. This area will eventually be dedicated to the City and potentially rezoned to PLI. PLI setbacks are based on the adjacent zoning districts, which are a mix of REMU, R-A, and R-B. There are necessary buildings for the function and success of the baseball facility that will not be able to meet the maximum setback standards in those zoning districts. These buildings are strategically placed to allow for a central pedestrian core. It is counterproductive for the baseball facility to concentrate the buildings on one side, as walking distances would be too long for the average pedestrian and would feel disconnected from the fields and viewing experience. South of Harvest Parkway, all lots will conform to the setbacks set by the applicable zoning in place at the time of application. There should be no issue meeting those setback standards. Infrastructure The required infrastructure improvements—and the timing of everything—are the main reasons for the Master Site Plan and individual site plan applications. There is a significant infrastructure lift, both time-wise and financially, for this project, and there is a strong need to get grass and other associated improvements under construction prior to full buildout of the infrastructure. Detailed phasing plans and outline narratives have been prepared as Appendix F to provide more details. At a high level, Water & sewer mains will be extended within Laurel Parkway and Harvest Parkway as they are constructed. The 21" regional sewer main will ultimately be extended from its current location on at the intersection of Touchstone Drive & Dayspring Avenue to the west end of the proposed Harvest Parkway as it is shown on the 2024 Wastewater Facilities plan. Within the park, all the proposed buildings will be served by service lines extended from the main lines in the streets. Streets The project will improve the adjacent portions of Oak Street, Baxter Lane, and Laurel Parkway to City of Bozeman standards (in phases), and construct Harvest Parkway to serve the interior of the site and provide connectivity from the project site to the City of Bozeman’s street network. The project will also plan for a new pedestrian crosswalk on Laurel Parkway at Harvest Parkway when needed in the future. As currently proposed, the Diamond 8 project will not create any roadway capacity problems on adjacent roadways. All adjacent approaches and intersections will function at LOS C or better through full buildout of the project in 2030. By 2045, the intersections along Baxter Lane may experience higher levels of delay from the current growth trends in this area and should be evaluated again at that time. The developers are in discussions with Streamline about a location for a future Streamline bus stop on Oak Street. For more information on the street network and draft street sections, please see Appendix I and Appendix J. Building Design There are three planned main buildings for the Diamond 8 complex. Starting from the southern entry point, the first building is what we are referring to as the Lodge. The goal for this building has two primary functions. The first function is to create an indoor/outdoor gathering space for parents and teams using the park. The second function is to create indoor batting cages so teams can practice during the winter months. This building will include restrooms and concessions. This portion of the building is also envisioned to be connected to Field 1 and will include an elevated viewing platform and permanent seating. The second building, located in the center of the facility, is largely a maintenance building. This will serve as the utility hub for the fields and grounds. This building will also include restrooms and concessions. Finally, the third building is located between Fields 8, 4 & 5. This building is what we are referring to as the Hub. This building will serve as the park monument and central gathering space. The program for these buildings, as well as their design and elevations, is still in development. Our intention is that the footprints are conceptually shown on the MSP submittal and then permitted through a separate site plan application for all three buildings. It should be noted that the footprints may change through the design process, and that the rectangular footprints are not meant to be prescriptive—more a vision of where buildings will go. Additional accessory structures will be designed to serve the fields (dugouts, permanent seating, press box, etc) and compliment the overall facility. Each will be part of future separate site plans and building permits. Accessible Provision (ADA) This development will be designed in compliance with the IBC, including its accessible requirements; as well as ANSI 117.1 & ADA standards for accessible design. Specifically pertaining to this site plan, the site design provides several accessible parking spaces across the two planned parking areas. All building entries, the refuse areas, and landscaped open space, are connected via an accessible pathway system which is in compliance with the requirements for an accessible route. Parking Baseball parks/facilities don’t appear to fall neatly into a single use category for parking requirements. As such, we would like to use Section 38.530.040.B.1.a.(2) to establish an alternative parking ratio. The applicant has used the following sources to justify the number of parking spaces provided. • Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation Manual, 5th Edition • National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) guidance • Functional demand estimates based on the operational characteristics of the proposed complex These resources consistently indicate that parking demand for multi-field athletic complexes is event-based and best evaluated based on peak tournament conditions when multiple fields are active concurrently. Developed through discussions with Addi Jadin and the Parks Department, the proposed parking supply is intentionally moderated to minimize impervious surface adjacent to wetlands and to encourage multimodal access. The paved parking lots will adequately accommodate typical daily use. Please see Appendix L for a more detailed parking memo. The parking lots have been split into two different areas to allow visitors to get to the site from a variety of places. This will reduce the walking times and improve the efficiency and experience of the facility. The bike parking requirements also don’t easily fit into a City of Bozeman category. The applicant is taking direction from the city and has provided the recommended number of spaces requested in the comments. For the south half of the property (residential/non park), the parking calculations will be confirmed through a future site plan or sketch plan review to confirm that they conform with the required code minimums and maximums. Neighborhood Center The neighborhood center for this property is the Diamond 8 baseball complex. This park is intended to be a destination for all of Bozeman but specifically for this neighborhood. The center of the site appears to be right around where the Lodge building will be located. This is perfectly situated at the front door of the park. Please see the Parks Master Plan Appendix E for more information about the phasing of park improvements and amenities. The qualifying criteria for this location are described below: • 38.410.020.A.1 - The proposed neighborhood center is within 600’ of the geographical center of the site. • 38.410.020.A.2 – This park is proposed to be developed in one phase start to finish. Phasing is proposed to allow specific elements of the park to be developed ahead of others but the goal is one construction starts, it will not stop until the park is complete. • 38.410.020.A.3&4 – This park will have less than 100% frontage because of the wetlands located on the west side of the site. The amount of frontage is significantly higher than 50%. • 38.410.020.A.5&6 - This neighborhood center will also be used to meet our parkland requirements for the project. Signs This Master Site Plan proposes a park monument but does not propose any business- related signage. Any future signage will be reviewed and approved under a comprehensive sign permit and subsequent sign permit applications. These applications will conform with the rules in place at the time of submittal. Parkland The Diamond 8 project is a unique project in that more than half of the full project will be dedicated as a city park. Everything north of Harvest Parkway will be a state-of-the-art baseball facility. This facility is the primary driver for the full project. Due to the limited growing seasons and the need to get the facility under construction, the applicant is breaking this park up into multiple phases while pursuing concurrent and overlapping entitlements. This is depicted in the phasing plans. The applicant is interested in park credit (or CIL Credit) for this facility that can be applied to other parts of this project and potential future developments. The baseball facility improvements will be a significant investment in the community. Landscaping The project provides comprehensive site and landscape planning to lend visual interest to the streetscape and provide a comfortable urban pedestrian experience. Onsite there is a thorough landscaping plan that enhances and ties together all the public spaces. All landscaping will comply with the mandatory landscaping provisions of the Bozeman UDC including the use of drought tolerant plants, use of appropriately sized landscape plant material, street frontage landscaping, coordination with utilities, and use of permanent irrigation. All service areas and utility equipment will be screened, as necessary. Water Rights The applicant has two water rights associated with this site, 41H-30159830 & 41H- 30159834. Both of these water rights will be utilized to provide landscape water to the fields and landscaping for the site. The Applicant intends to use CILWR for domestic water usage. A preliminary CILWR calculation is included in Appendix Z. This amount will be confirmed through the site plan review process. WGM has been researching and working on water rights for the project. They have found historic documentation that will allow both water rights to be utilized for the project without a change application with DNRC. Water associated with the two associated water rights and potential Farmers Canal shares will be diverted from Baxter Creek and pumped to the site to water the fields and surrounding landscaping. A Notice of Intent has been approved by DNRC to allow an onsite well which will provide a source of backup water for irrigation. A connection to the City's domestic water supply will also be provided as a last line protection for the grass within the fields. The property also has some Farmers Canal shares, which we are working on getting transferred. More information is forthcoming on the shares. We are working on two backup plans for shares: first, we have asked the Farmers Canal to determine the availability and cost to purchase a partial share to supply the project. Second, Brian Heaston has offered a portion of the City’s shares for this area since it will be a public park. Irrigation With all the options described above, we are confident that we can secure a reliable water source for the ball fields and surrounding landscaping. Please see Appendix Y.1 for more information on the irrigation system. Site Lighting This project site will have intersection lighting, parking lot lighting and lighting at any mid- block crossings. In addition, the Diamond 8 complex will feature outdoor lighting on specific fields and pedestrian ways to extend playing times. The lighting plans and specifications are still in progress but will be designed to conform with all lighting and photometric standards in the UDC. These plans will be provided with the formal Site Plan Application. Traffic A Traffic Study is being provided with the Master Site Plan. As mentioned above, The project will improve the adjacent portions of Oak Street, Baxter Lane, and Laurel Parkway to City of Bozeman standards (in phases), and construct Harvest Parkway to serve the interior of the site and provide connectivity from the project site to the City of Bozeman’s street network. The project will also plan for a new pedestrian crosswalk on Laurel Parkway at Harvest Parkway when needed in the future. The applicant would like to install the major transportation upgrades in phases, as identified on the phasing plan. Phasing Phasing is the most important piece of the equation with this project. The need to get the baseball facility underway and grass growing is key. The applicant has prepared a two- phase approach (with sub-phases) to accomplish this goal. The applicant intends to submit multiple applications—this Master Site Plan application and individual site plans— concurrently with each other to allow the timing to work out. A future subdivision and possible Zone Map Amendment are also included primarily to better create developable areas on the southern portion of the project. Initial phases will ensure adequate ingress, EMS access, parking and utilities prior to opening the ballfields to the public. Please see Appendix F for more information on the phasing. Response to 38.410.010.B The applicant is to the maximum extent possible (and consistent with other requirements) preserving the natural terrain, natural drainage, existing topsoil, trees and other existing vegetation. For example, this site has several wetlands onsite and rather than fill them in to create a more efficient site layout the applicant has worked around the wetlands. There is very little impact on the wetlands with this project. The impacts are limited to road and utility crossings. The site will have to be graded to ensure the fields are usable and the walkways and gathering areas around the site meet accessibility requirements. While the site is being graded, the topsoil will be screened and redistributed across the site where possible. There are very few trees onsite due to this land being primarily agricultural but the few trees that do exist onsite appear to be within the wetland and watercourse setback areas. These areas are not proposed to be impacted with this application and as such the vegetation will largely remain intact. Finally, the wetland areas outside of the road crossing will be located in a public park or within an open space tract with a future subdivision application further ensuring their maintenance. The applicant has considered the natural environment and has created a thoughtful design that works around the natural environment where possible. Concurrent Construction The applicant would like to request concurrent construction for both on-site and off-site infrastructure. This is a complex project with a number of moving pieces. While the details are not totally clear, the applicant wants the ability to work on a variety of items at the same time. The most notable item would be park construction (fields and buildings) while off-site street (and utility) infrastructure is being constructed. As stated before, the timing of everything is critical to the project. Please see Appendix H for a concurrent construction request letter. Entitlement Period The project is to be constructed over a period of 3-5 years. For a site of this size, construction (including future subdivision) could take up to 10-15 years to complete. It is likely that an extension to the Master Site Plan will be sought, as necessary. Following approval of the Master Site Plan, the applicant will submit subsequent subdivision applications for each phase of the project. Given the critical timing of the phasing this application does not reference or include anything in a future subdivision. Our intention is for these applications to be separate. Following approval of those phases, site plans and sketch plans will be developed for each lot. Each subsequent application shall be consistent with the approved Master Site Plan and subject to the review criteria of Section 38.740.080 BMC. Possible Funding Mechanisms Significant private funding has secured the property, will launch the project, and complete significant improvements. Due to the scale of this project and the positive community benefit, the project needs public funding mechanisms to become a reality. The possible identified funding sources could be but are not limited to: - Impact Fee Credits - CIP Funds - Park Grants - Etc. B. Master Site Plan Checklist 1. Noticing Checklist Form NP and materials. Response: This is included in the document section as file 036. 2. Application and plan sets of all required items listed on the Site Plan (SP) Checklist as applicable to the proposed amount of entitlement sought by the master site plan. Response: Understood. Please see the responses below to the SP checklist items. 3. Narrative that includes proposed entitlement period: minimum three years, maximum five years. This schedule should include the sequence for each phase, approximate size in are of each phase, and proposed phasing of construction of public improvements, parks, and common open space areas. Response: Understood. This is included above. 4. Draft design guidelines to direct design of the development over the entitlement period, if applicable. Response: This project does not include any development other than the park development. The Park Master Plan will be the guiding document for all park construction.

Statement that following approval of a master site plan, the applicant shall submit to the department sequential individual site plans for specific areas within the master site plan. Each subsequent application shall be consistent with the approved master site plan and subject to conformance with Chapter 38 of the BMC and a decision consistent with BMC 38.740.090.B. If it does not, a modification to the master site plan is required Response: Understood. This is included above. 6. Identify any infrastructure or site plan elements proposed for financial guarantee. Response: The applicant is requesting concurrent construction and, due to phasing, will likely need to provide a financial guarantee for some elements of this project. Those finer details are still being worked out and will be addressed with each individual site plan application. 7. Detailed phasing plan that includes the following: a) Proposed phase lines. b) Proposed limit of construction for each phase. c) Proposed plan for staging and phasing of construction, including storage of topsoil, spoils, and construction materials and equipment. d) Phasing of infrastructure, utilities, irrigation mainline and related components, irrigation wells, streets, roads, pathways, and trails.

Temporary facilities plan showing the location of all temporary model homes, sales offices and/or construction facilities, including temporary signs and parking facilities; Response: There are no temporary facilities on site. The contractor may place a job trailer and other construction-related items on site during construction. Because a contractor has not been selected for this project, these specific items have not been provided. 13. Unless already provided through a previous subdivision review, a noxious weed control plan complying with 38.710.050.A.5.c; Response: Weeds are currently being maintained by the property owner. Please see a weed management included as Appendix DD. The property owner will continue to maintain weeds until the park is transferred to the City. At that point, the future HOA will maintain weeds in the area south of Harvest Parkway, and presumably the City will maintain weeds in the parkland area. 14. Drafts of applicable supplementary documents as set forth in 38.720; Response: This application is largely to permit the construction of a baseball facility that will eventually be dedicated to the city as a park. Currently no residential or mixed-use development is considered with this application and as such the design regulations, covenants and bylaws are not provided with this application. This application sets the vision and phasing for the property to accomplish park construction. A future subdivision will be required to divide the land, and at that point the design regulations, covenants and bylaws will be prepared for the whole neighborhood. The Parks Master Plan will be the design regulations for all of the park construction. 15. The information necessary to complete the determination of density change and parkland provision required by 38.420.020.B, unless such information was previously determined by the city to be inapplicable and written confirmation is provided to the applicant prior to submittal of a preliminary site plan application. If a new park will be created by the development the park plan materials of 38.710.050.A.14 must be provided; Response: The park requirements are outlined above in the narrative and are also outlined in the Parks Master Plan. 16. Affordable housing. If the application includes requests for incentives provided in 38.340, describe how the site plan will satisfy any requirements of 38.340 which have either been established for that lot through the subdivision process or, if no subdivision has previously occurred, are applicable to a site plan. The description must be of adequate detail to clearly identify those lots and dwellings designated as subject to 38.340 compliance requirements and to make the obligations placed on the affected lots and dwellings readily understandable; Response: This project is not contemplating the residential component at this time. Affordable housing may be considered in the future with a subdivision application. 17. Phased site plans: 1. a. A phasing plan showing the location of phase boundaries and that each phase will be fully functional if subsequent phases are not completed; 2. b. A utilities plan showing that each phase will be able to be fully functional if subsequent phases are not completed; 3. c. A revegetation and grading plan showing how disturbed areas will be revegetated to control weeds and site grading and drainage control will be maintained as phased construction proceeds; 4. d. If the applicant intends for multiple phases to be under construction simultaneously, evidence of financial commitment from the project lender for the completion of all phases to be undertaken at once. Evidence of financial commitment may be provided at the time the building permits for the multiple phases are sought. Response: This project will be completed in multiple phases, which is why this MSP document is needed. The phasing exhibit (Appendix F) documents the expected phasing for infrastructure and building improvements. Additionally, the Parks Master Plan (Appendix E) includes direction on phasing as well. The applicant is envisioning submitting multiple individual site plan applications to accomplish this goal. 18. When 38.420.020 requires parkland dedication in association with a site plan, and cash-in-lieu of parkland will not be provided, the materials required by 38.710.050.A.14. Response: There are no dwelling units proposed with this application. This Master Site Plan is intended to set the vision and phasing for the Diamond 8 baseball complex. As currently laid out, there are 15.27 developable acres for the area south of Harvest Parkway that will likely be developed as residential. R-C and R-D have minimum densities, so being conservative to meet the zoning, the area south of Harvest Parkway would need to build 213 units. The applicant would like to maintain flexibility on this south half of the property and, as such, wants to acknowledge that it will be required to meet the zoning regulations in place at the time of subdivision or site plan application. Please see the Parks Master Plan for more information on the park improvements. 19. The information related to water adequacy required by 38.710.050.A.19, unless the information was previously provided through a subdivision review process and the proposed development does not generate more demand than addressed during the subdivision review. At the discretion of the Director of Utilities, updated information will be required if previous approvals or determination of no impact are more than 5 years old. Response: The applicant has two surface water rights—one from Baxter Creek and the other from the Gallatin River. The applicant intends to use these surface water rights for irrigation purposes. The applicant intends to pay CILWR for any water usage above their allocated water rights. More information is included in the Irrigation Memo (Appendix Y) and the CILWR Memo (Appendix Z).
