Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Doug Riley, Associate Planner
Wendy Thomas, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Woodhaven Village PUD – Final Site Plan- Final One Year
Extension Approval - #Z-07005
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2013 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approve a final one year extension to the Woodhaven Village Planned Unit Development (PUD) – Final Site Plan approval as allowed under Section 38.20.060.B.2 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC).
BACKGROUND: The Final Site Plan to allow the construction of 13 condominium units at
5349 Baxter Lane in the Baxter Square Subdivision PUD, was approved on June 14, 2007. The Community Development Director approved a one year extension to the final site plan approval until June 14, 2009. Following the initial administrative extension, the City Commission granted
4 one-year extensions to the final site plan approval until June 14, 2013. The applicant, D & D
Palmer LLC, is requesting an additional one year extension.
When last year’s extension request was evaluated, staff verbally communicated to the applicant that additional extensions may not be recommended for approval due to the six years that has
elapsed without progress being made to initiate the project. Therefore, as part of this extension
request, staff recommends that this be the final extension granted for the project as this is the
longest duration site plan entitlement that we have on file with no specific progress being made to initiate the project. The applicant indicates that due to the difficulty with condominium
financing, there is no date certain to initiate the project. Therefore, while staff has indicated that
we would not recommended additional extensions following this year, we have indicated our
willingness to work with the applicant over the course of this next year to determine other
alternatives for development of the property.
Staff reviewed the requested extension with the Development Review Committee (DRC). The
DRC supports the requested extension.

Staff’s site visit did not reveal any public safety or aesthetic issues with the site. While the
applicant has not initiated any infrastructure construction or other development on the property,
they did pay their cash-in-lieu of parkland to the City in the amount of $29,800.00 in 2007 as
part of the Final Site Plan approval. This cash-in-lieu payment can be credited towards a new or revised development application.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None determined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the final extension as recommended. 2) Approve a different extension time.
3) Denial of the extension request.
4) As suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The standard application fee for review of site plan extension requests was received and added to the Department of Community Development’s application fee revenue. As
previously noted, the applicant already paid their cash-in-lieu of parkland to the City in the
amount of $29,800.00 as part of the Final Site Plan approval.
