Laurel Glen Subdivision – Parkland Improvements
(Revised September 10, 2009)
1. The applicant shall amended Section III “Description of Park Amenities” of
the park master plan to include the following:
a. Revise first paragraph to read; “designed to allow for primarily
active recreation with some limited passive areas” and furnishings
that promote…..
b. Revise second paragraph, third sentence to read: The initial
grading and irrigation system installation of this area has been
“partially” completed …
c. The master plan shall include language that states that all parkland
improvements will meet the City of Bozeman standards for parkland
and public trail improvements.
2. Parkland improvements will include an acceptable bridge across Baxter
Creek that meets City and ADA standards in-lieu of the proposed board
walk.
3. Clearly define in the park master plan that all areas to be planted in “native
grasses” will have the same top soil finish and rock removal as the
proposed lawn mixture grasses, and properly irrigated with an
underground irrigation system.
4. The wetlands setback along Baxter Creek will be regraded, seeded in the
prescribed parkland grass mixture, not a native grass, and properly
irrigated. The transition between the historical wetlands boundary and
existing parkland improvements shall be regraded to provide a more
gradual transition between the two areas.
5. The storm water facility is located at the major street intersection of the
subdivision, is in proximity to the proposed neighborhood commercial
node, and adjacent to the proposed playground equipment. For these
reasons the facility needs to be completed as listed below as an amenity
for the subdivision that serves as not only an extension of the parkland,
but also part of the plan for the neighborhood center immediately to the
west.
a. The storm water facility shall maintain a 10-foot setback from the
two adjacent street rights-of-way before any grading of the facility
occurs.
b. The top and sides of the facility must be regarded, groomed,
irrigated, and finished to mirror the standards of the adjacent
parkland grass mixture. This includes the north, northeast, and
east sides of the storm water facility.
c. The bottom of the facility may be planted in the native grasses as
proposed in the park master plan. However, the existing drainage
swale within the interior of the facility shall be finished with a river
rock ground cover.
6. Playground equipment and accessories for the initial phase must be
installed within one year of City Commission approval.
7. The developer shall have a pre-construction meeting with the City of
Bozeman Parks Department prior to proceeding with any further
improvements to Phase 1 and 2 of the proposed parkland areas.
8. Estimated costs for the proposed improvements shall be provided and
prepared by a landscape architect, certified landscape or nursery person
for parkland equipment and broken accordingly into two separated phases
for Phase 1 & 2, and shall identify who will install the improvements. Said
improvements should be listed accordingly:
a. Grading and irrigation
b. Seeding
c. Boulevard Trees
d. Parkland Trees
e. Playground Equipment
f. Pavilion
g. Benches
h. Bike racks
i. Refuse receptacles
j. Pedestrian Bridge
k. Public Trial System
