MEMO
Date: February 12, 2008
Subject: Bozeman High School 0406
Attention: Bozeman Schools Board of Trustees & BHS Design Team
From: Ben Lloyd, Architect
NOTES:
The following is a summary of the Bozeman High School project. This document is intended to serve as a general guide as
is subject to change as Construction Documents evolve:
• Creation of a “core” facility that will house 1,500 students. This core will be comprised of renovated spaces in
Building 1 (existing CJMS) south to include the present H-wing (excluding existing library and administration area)
and a major addition to the east side of Building 1. The new structure is approximately 50,000 sf and, along with
the existing Building 1 and Building 2 (H-wing and music spaces in J-wing) spaces, meets the programmatic
needs of a 1,500 student high school.
• Renovation in Building 1 includes major structural, major mechanical and major electrical upgrades.
• ‘K-wing’ areas of Building 1 (both floors of south wing) will be occupied during the 2008-2009 school year.
Emergency egress and other life safety considerations as well as mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, electrical
and telecommunication systems must be operational during this time.
• A new connecting corridor and elevator will be added between Building 1 and Building 2 (existing music area) to
facilitate access and general circulation.
• Renovations in selected areas of Building 2 (H-wing and music spaces in J-wing).
• With a prioritized list of exceptions (aka alternates), existing structures south of H-wing are retained with “no
work”. Dependent upon available funds, alternates may include new gym floor, gym lighting upgrades, locker
room mechanical upgrades, toilet room upgrades, trainer relocation, and F-wing roof replacement.
• The Auditorium is proposed at the location of the existing library. The demolition of the library/admin area would
not occur until the auditorium is constructed. Demolition of C, D and E wings is required to construct adequate
parking.
• Over an approximate period of eight years the High School will use of the entire campus as it grows to a
maximum population of 2,400 students (currently about 1,750). When Bozeman High reaches a population of
2,400 students the District plans to build a second high school (projected to occur in 2016). After Bozeman’s
second high school is built, the structures south of H-wing (except the gyms) would no longer be part of the high
school. They could be demolished or retained and renovated for another use.

INFORMAL REVIEW
DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Planning and Community Development has reviewed the Informal Review
Application for the Bozeman High School renovation and new addition at 205-309 North 11th Avenue
against the Unified Development Ordinance (U.D.O.); and as a result, offer the following comments for
consideration.
General Comments:
1. Prior to submitting the application to the City Commission it is recommended that the applicant
provide a short, written overview of the project, outlining the general scope of the project,
construction and occupancy dates, as well as the schedule for relocation of the Chief Joseph
middle school.
2. A digital version of the proposal is necessary and reduced hard copies of the proposal are
preferred prior to forwarding the application to the City Commission. If 11” by 17” are too
small, “24 by 36” pages would be acceptable.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the high school addition, the applicant shall submit a
Final Site Plan application, along with seven (7) copies of the Final Site Plan for approval by the
Planning Director.
454
Page 2
4. As a contributing element to the fabric of the community and in an effort to implement the
regulatory standards of the Unified Development Ordinance (U.D.O.), it is recommended that the
school district give further consideration to the following comments.
Chapter 18.22 “Public Lands and Institutions District”
5. The subject property is zoned “PLI” (Pubic Lands and Institutions District). Public and
nonprofit, quasi-public institutions (universities, elementary, junior and senior high schools, and
hospitals) are listed as a principal permitted use in the “PLI” district.
6. North 11th Avenue is designated as a collector road. There is no front yard setback in the “PLI”
district except when a lot is adjacent to another district. The subdivision immediately east of
North 11th Avenue is zoned “R-1” and “R-4”, which requires a 20-foot setback from the street
right-of-way.
Chapter 18.42 “Development Standards”
7. Location and placement of the dumpster refuse area at the northeast corner of the new addition
without proper screening could visually impact the streetscape and residential neighborhood to
the east. Proper screening at this location should be further considered based on its current
location in proximity to a principle entrance to the high school.
8. Any mechanical equipment associated with the kitchen area that is visible from the North 11th
Avenue streetscape and adjoining properties would be required to be screened.
Chapter 18.44 “Transportation Facilities and Access”
9. Based on the information provided the proposed high school addition and off-street parking lot
will not encroach into a 20-foot front yard setback along North 11th Avenue.
10. The egress/ingress point at North 11th Avenue improvements the street intersection alignment
with West Villard Street.
Chapter 18.46 “Parking”
11. Single access to an off-street parking area of this size is not recommended. The high school
addition eliminates a very effective area for vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Stacking of
vehicles during peak times could also be a point of concern.
12. A drop-off and pick-up area between the off-street parking lot and high school addition is
recommended.
13. The off-street parking lot must comply with the provisions for disabled accessible parking and
signage, as well as proper curb access.
14. There appears to be no proposal for lighting fixtures in the parking lot. It is recommended that a
number of parking lot fixtures be installed if for no other reason than security and safety purposes.
If so, all outdoor lighting fixtures shall be shielded in such a manner that no light is emitted above a
horizontal plane passing through the lowest point of the light emitting element, so that direct light
emitted above the horizontal plane is eliminated. .
455
Page 3
15. Off-street parking calculations, in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance (U.D.O.)
should be calculated as follows:
Senior High Schools: 1.5 spaces for each classroom or lecture halls; plus 1 space for each 5 students;
plus 1 space for each non-teaching employee; plus 1 space per each 3 fixed seats in the area of public
assembly, or 1 space for each 21 square feet of area available for public assembly if fixed seats are
not provided.
Chapter 18.48 “Landscape”
16. Under Section 18.48.050 of the U.D.O. off-street parking lot landscape and landscape irrigation
would be required for the new parking lot, including additional landscape islands and trees
within the interior.
17. Screening of the off-street parking lot the northeast end from North 11th Avenue and residential
neighborhood to the east would be required, as set forth in the U.D.O.
18. Boulevard trees at a regular spacing of one (1) tree per fifty (50) feet of lineal street frontage
would be required.
Chapter 18.52 “Signs”
19. All signage requires a Sign Permit Application that shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Office prior to the construction and installation of any on-site signage. Signage shall comply with
the requirements set forth in UDO Section 18.52.
Note: This memo serves as informal advice for the above referenced project based on the
information provided. Additional comments, conditions, and recommendations may be provided
based on information submitted with the building permit application. Failure to list any
standards and regulations in this cursory review in no way grants a waiver for said requirements,
unless otherwise exempt from compliance.

From: Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Re: Bozeman High School Addition Informal #I-08002
The following should be included as Final Site Plan (FSP) conditions for any approval of this project:
1. A manhole will need to be installed on the sewer main at the connection point of the
service line.
2. The detention ponds shall be shown on the final site plan, and sizing information submitted
for review and approval.
3. Detention or retention must be added for the storm sewer from the courtyard prior to
discharge into the watercourse.
4. All culvert sizing shall comply with the City of Bozeman design standards.
