Re: Roers Bozeman Apartments

Dear Brian:
Morrison Maierle, along with Kaas Wilson Architects and Outdoor Design, are working together to
design two apartment buildings, one affordable and one market rate, in Lot 1 Block 2 of the Urban +
Farms Phase 2 Subdivision, zoned B-2M.
We would like to request a departure from BMC 38.540.050.A.5.c, bicycle parking must be located with
50 feet on an entrance to the building the bicycle parking is required to serve. With our design, we have
been able to satisfy the number of bicycle parking spaces for both proposed Buildings A and B. However,
we are requesting that the parking space locations can be within 60 feet of the building entrances. In a
majority of the bicycle spots placement we were able to meet the intent of this code, however in a few
instances, the layout of the building and door locations did not allow for this. By increasing to 60 feet,
this would allow for bicycles to be placed in key areas yet as close to the entryway doors as possible.
Should you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
