Design Review Board Page 2
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis that follows, Staff recommends that the DRB conditionally approve this project
subject to compliance with the following conditions:
Recommended Conditions -
1. Instead of just referring to provisions in the Zoning Ordinance, the Covenants shall state specific
requirements. Subsection 9.3.a. shall state what the density of the R-O zoning district is. Subsection
9.3.b. shall list the permitted uses in the R-O zoning district. Section 9.4 shall state what the height
restrictions are for the R-O zoning district. Finally, Subsection 9.5.b. shall state that the maximum
allowable building size in the R-O is constrained by a limit of 60 percent coverage of the site.
2. The Final Plan shall show the parcel lot lines, as well as building envelopes that reflect the required
setbacks and allowable building size for each parcel.
3. The Covenants shall require 10 foot front yard setbacks, 20 foot rear yard setbacks, and eight foot side
yard setbacks for each individual lot. The front, side and rear yards for each lot shall be determined by
each building’s orientation to rights-of-way and parking areas.
4. Section 9.5 shall be labeled “Minimum and Maximum Building Sizes”.
5. Section 10.1 shall further describe those aspects, qualities characteristics, associated with the housing in
surrounding neighborhoods, the development is striving to emulate.
6. Additional provisions shall be added to the Covenants to address the following: a clear definition of
public, private, and semi-public spaces; articulation of main entrances; orientation of the buildings to the
street, sidewalks, and parking areas; mass and scale of and between buildings; and the separation of
masses.
7. Because the yard along the west property line is functioning as a rear yard for many of the buildings, this
yard shall be at least twenty (20) feet wide instead of the eight (8) feet currently shown.
8. A greater variety of plantings shall be used in the common open space areas.
9. If a high water table is discovered on the site, plantings that thrive in a high water table environment
should be proposed in these areas (Willow, Cottonwood, Dogwood, etc.).
10. To ensure consistent and quality landscaping for this project, the landscaping requirements found in
Section 18.50.100.D.5 “Mandatory Landscaping Requirements” and Section 18.50.100.D.6.
“Landscaping Performance Standards” shall apply to the landscaping of individual lots.
11. In Section 11.3, the Covenants shall specify the height limits for fencing. This section shall specify
acceptable materials and types for screening fencing.
12. In Section 11.6, the Covenants shall provide a detail and description for acceptable building lighting
(wall-mounted).
13. The location of all parking lot/common area lighting shall be shown on the Final Plan.
14. The covenants should contain some additional requirements for garbage enclosures including height
restrictions, acceptable materials, and the need for an impervious floor. In these requirements,
consideration shall be given to the specifications and standards required by the garbage collection
vendor selected to service the development.
15. The applicant shall submit a Master Signage Plan for the development with the Final Plan application.
The signage plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 18.65.080. of the Sign Code.
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 3
16. The common open space provided within the development shall be consolidated and more integrated.
Possible means of accomplishing this include, but are not limited to, reconfiguration of the lots and
elimination of some driveways.
17. All pedestrian/bicycle paths shall be located as far as possible from streets and parking areas. The
number of street/driveway crossings shall be reduced if possible. All street/driveway crossings shall be
delineated through the use of striping, pavers or texturing.
18. All of the proposed picnic tables, in the active recreation areas, shall be placed on permanent “patios”
constructed of concrete, pavers, or some other impervious material.
19. Section 10.5 shall include language addressing not only roof-mounted equipment, but any equipment
mounted on the exterior of a building. Non roof-mounted equipment could be screened with
landscaping or approved fencing.
Other Possible Conditions for the DRB’s Consideration:
20. Subsection 10.6.b. shall included language indicating that brighter, non-earth tone colors may be
acceptable for trim and accents. The use of brighter colors will be reviewed by the B.L.R.C.
21. The lots along Kagy Boulevard shall be re-configured to be parallel to Kagy Boulevard and more
consistent with the orientation of the rest of the lots proposed in the subdivision.
22. To avoid long strip-like buildings, a single building cannot be placed on multiple lots.
OR
23. To avoid long strip-like buildings, the ability to place a single building on multiple lots shall be limited to
certain lots, including: Lots 1 and 2, Lots 5 and 6, Lots 10 and 11, Lots 12 and 13, Lots 14 and 15, and
Lots 16 and 17.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is proposing to develop a two-phased, commercial planned unit development consisting
primarily of professional, medical and dental office uses on 14.59 acres. The development will contain
seventeen (17) lots or building sites which are being created through a Major Subdivision that is being
processed simultaneously with this application. These lots will be sold to individual developers. The rest of
the lot (consisting of open space, rights-of-way, parking areas, etc.) will be held and maintained in common.
Once the Final Plan and Final Plat for this development are accepted, it is the developers intent to obtain
building permits for the development of individual sites with no further zoning review required. This
Preliminary Plan application establishes restrictive covenants and restrictions to establish a unified plan,
containing architectural and landscaping guidelines.
ADJACENT LAND USES/ZONING:
The land immediately north of the subject property is also zoned R-4 “Residential High Density District”
and is currently vacant. However, conditional approval was recently given for a conditional use permit to
develop the site in the northwest corner of the intersection of Kagy and South 11th for use as a professional
office. Further north is a church, the campus square theater complex, and the University Village
Apartments. The land east of the subject property is zoned PLI “Public Lands and Institutions” and
contains parts of the MSU campus including the Reno H. Sales Stadium. The land south of the subject
property is zoned A-S “Agriculture Suburban District” and is currently used for agricultural purposes.
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 4
Finally, the land west of the subject property is zoned A-S, and is currently occupied by the Reier
Broadcasting Co.
LIST OF WAIVERS/RELAXATION OF DESIGN STANDARDS:
Section 18.54.040 “Special Conditions of a Planned Unit Development” states the following:
All planned unit development shall be reviewed against the general building and
development standards established in Chapter 18.50. However, the general building and
development standards will be used only as a guide. Approval of a planned unit
development shall rest upon a finding by the City Commission, as proved by the proposal,
that the intent of the general building and development standards is achieved.
The developer is requesting two waivers from the design standards in the Zoning Ordinance. The first
waiver request is related to the relationship of the internal parking areas and the internal streets. The
applicant felt that the amount of open space, arranged in the configuration being proposed, is a better use of
the landscaped areas. The applicant feels that the reduction of the setback between parking areas and the
streets in certain places will not distract from its buffering effect. In the areas where the physical distance
between the parking and the streets has been reduced, the applicant has countered that effect with
landscaping and berming. As compensation for this waiver, the applicant is proposing almost 50 percent
more open space than is required. The site also provides additional landscaping. For the second waiver, the
developer is also proposing to construct private streets in both phases.
DESIGN REVIEW:
The subject site is not located within an entryway overlay corridor, therefore the site was not reviewed
against the Design Objectives Plan for Entryway Corridors. The site was reviewed against applicable PUD
Review Criteria, and the resulting comments are attached.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER COMMENTS:
Not applicable to proposal.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS:
The intent of development guidelines for P.U.D.s is to ensure unified and harmonious development in the
subdivision, and to ensure that development will occur in accord with the goals and policies for the
Bozeman Area Zoning Ordinance and the Bozeman Area Master Plan. The covenants for the P.U.D. shall
contain “regulatory” development guidelines with the intent of future developers designing individual lots
within the subdivision according to the architectural, site development, and landscaping guidelines
established for the subdivision. These guidelines shall be generally equal to, or possibly more restrictive,
than the regulatory standards of the Bozeman Area Zoning Ordinance.
The intent of planned unit developments is to promote flexibility and innovation in the development of
land and the design of development projects, which will establish logical, well-planned development
patterns for future commercial uses and will result in mutual benefits for the developer, the neighborhood,
and the community as a whole. P.U.D.s must improve the design, quality and character of new
development within the City, minimize adverse environmental impacts, and contribute to the overall image
of the community.
Building and Site Development (Article IX) -
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 5
In Section 9.3, the provisions that refer to requirements in the Bozeman Area Zoning Ordinance should not
only refer to the standards, but also include the standards in the text. Subsection a. should state what the
density of the R-O zoning district is. Subsection b. should list the permitted uses in the R-O zoning district.
Section 9.4 should state what the height restrictions are for the R-O zoning district. Finally, Subsection
9.5.b. should state that the maximum allowable building size in the R-O is constrained by a limit of 60
percent coverage of the site.
In regards to Subsection 9.3.c., staff believes that the Final Plan needs to show not only the parcel
boundary, but also a building envelope that reflects the setback requirements for each lot. In regards to
Subsection 9.3.d., staff believes that the developer needs to set specific setback requirements for front, side
and rear yards for the individual lots. Staff would recommend that the side and rear yards setback
requirements for the R-O zoning district apply to each lot (20 foot rear yard and 8 foot side yards) and that
each lot maintain a 10 foot front yard setback. The front, side and rear yards for each lot would be
determined based on its orientation to rights-of-way and parking areas.
Section 9.5 should be labeled “Minimum and Maximum Building Sizes”.
Building Guidelines (Article X) -
The use of architectural guidelines is not intended to create a single design theme or specific architectural
character. Rather, the guidelines are intended to suggest a unified theme for the development. The
applicant has provided architectural guidelines within the “Stadium Center Covenants and Lot Owners
Association Guidelines”.
Overall, the proposed architectural guidelines are well thought-out and appropriate. The proposed concept
of providing a project which architecturally “blends with the eclectic styles of housing found in the surround
developments, and that the type of building avoids the appearance of commercial development” is a sound
approach. Staff would like to have this idea further “fleshed out” in the building guidelines. The applicant
should provide a narrative description of those aspects, characteristics and qualities of residential
development that they are trying to emulate.
In addition, there are several design issues that need to be addressed. First, although representational
residential buildings are included in the building guidelines, several characteristics needed to achieve this
desired residential character are not explicitly addressed and expressed. These items include: the clear
definition of public, private, and semi-public spaces; articulation of main entrances; orientation of the
buildings to the street, sidewalks, and parking areas; mass and scale of and between buildings; and the
separation of masses. Information should be added to the Architectural Guidelines to address these items.
Next, major emphasis is placed on roof lines, pitches, secondary roof structures, eves, soffits, and fascia
which is laudable. However, more emphasis needs to be placed on developing an office facility which is
intended to blend with, and reflect, a residential quality. To achieve this, more information should be
included in the covenants and restrictions that address the physical separation of structures from adjoining
properties, and setbacks from adjoining streets and parking lots. This can be addressed by establishing
specific setback requirements for the individual lots. Also, because the yard along the west property line is
functioning as a rear yard, the setback for this yard should be at least twenty (20) feet instead of the eight (8)
feet currently shown. The final plan should also show not only the lots, but the actual building envelopes
and setbacks for the buildings.
Site Development Landscaping Guidelines (Article XI) -
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 6
The site statistics for this project indicate that approximately 45 percent (258,139 square feet) of the site will
be open space and/or landscaped areas. This figure includes the common open space/landscaped areas, as
well as the landscaping to be provided on each of the individual lots. The applicant has provided a
landscaping plan for the common open space/landscaped areas as part of the Preliminary Plan submittal.
The plantings proposed for the perimeter of this site, in the required setbacks, would satisfy the landscaping
performance point requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The number of plantings proposed for the rest
of the common open space seems appropriate. Staff would only recommend two changes in the
landscaping proposed for the common open space areas. First, a greater variety of plantings should be used.
Second, if a high water table is discovered on the site, plantings that thrive in a high water table
environment should be proposed in these areas (Willow, Cottonwood, Dogwood, etc.).
The Covenants for the development also require that each individual lot be landscaped and maintained by
each individual developer. The landscaping guidelines provided for the individual lots are rather vague, and
could be interpreted in many ways. Staff is concerned that this might result in minimized and inconsistent
landscaping in a development intended to have a cohesive, unified appearance. Therefore, staff would
recommend that the individual lots be required to conform with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
found in Section 18.50.100.D.5. “Mandatory Landscaping Requirements” and Section 18.50.100.D.6.
“Landscape Performance Standards”. The requirements in these Sections that staff feels are especially
important, include: requirements for 75 percent coverage with live vegetative materials, parking lot
landscaping, street frontage landscaping, acceptable landscape materials, irrigation standards, and quantity of
landscape plantings.
Other comments include: the developer needs to specify the height limits for fencing; a detail and
description for acceptable building lighting (wall-mounted) should be specified; the location of all parking
lot/common area lighting needs to be shown on the plan; the covenants should contain some additional
requirements for garbage enclosures including height, materials, and the need for an impervious floor.
Finally, the developer will be required to submit a Master Signage Plan with the Final Plan application.
Master Signage Plans are required “for all commercial, office, industrial, and civic uses consisting of two (2)
or more tenant or occupant spaces on a lot or two or more lots subject to a common development permit
or plan.” The signage plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 18.65.080 of the Sign Code.
Open Space Concept -
In assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of an open space system, design of an integrated open
space layout (active open space, passive open space, pedestrian and bike paths, etc.), combined with the
adequate separation of vehicular and pedestrian/bicycle traffic, is of primary importance. The open space
system being proposed in this plan incorporates a number of open space pockets allocated to each building
site, and larger common open space areas, connected by a series of walkways or paths. The majority of the
open space pockets are located adjacent to street rights-of-way and/or parking areas. This is partly a result
of the proposed loop road, and the general configuration of the proposed parcels. The plan proposes a total
of eleven pedestrian crossings of driveways and/or streets, and many of these crossings are located on
curves. This situation could be dangerous for pedestrians and/or bicyclists.
An integrated system of open space generally avoids multiple crossings and is internalized within the site.
Buildings are sited facing common areas in order to facilitate the separation of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, and to provide natural views in a park-like setting. Site amenities, such as landscaping, walkways,
seating areas, and retention ponds, are provided for employees and visitors. As stated before, the open
space scheme presented in this plan provides pockets of open space in common areas and on individual
sites connected by a series of pathways. The developer is also providing some picnic tables in the common
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 7
open space areas. Further emphasis on the integration of these areas needs to be addressed. Preferably, the
site should be re-configured to consolidate the common open space areas. If this is impossible, the number
of street and/or driveway crossings should be significantly reduced. At the very least, the paths should be
clearly identified at all crossings.

P.U.D. DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA
APPLICATION #Z-9811
STADIUM CENTER SUBDIVISION P.U.D.
ALL DEVELOPMENT:
Neighborhood Compatibility -
1. Is the development compatible with, and sensitive to, the immediate environment of the site and the adjacent neighborhoods
relative to architectural design, building bulk, neighborhood identity, landscaping, historical character, orientation of
buildings on the site and visual integration?
As stated previously, the land immediately north of the subject property is also zoned R-4 “Residential
High Density District” and is currently vacant. However, conditional approval was recently given for a
conditional use permit to develop part of this land for use as a professional office. Further north is a
church, the campus square theater complex, and the University Village Apartments. The land east of
the subject property is zoned PLI “Public Lands and Institutions” and contains parts of the MSU
campus including the Reno H. Sales Stadium. The land south of the subject property is zoned A-S
“Agriculture Suburban District” and is currently used for agricultural purposes. Finally, the land west of
the subject property is zoned A-S, and is currently occupied by the Reier Broadcasting Co.
This development would be compatible with the commercial type project being developed to the north,
as well as the development activity the University is undertaking on the land to the east. This proposal
should not have any adverse effects on the commercial activity occurring on the adjacent property to the
west. Staff would anticipate continued commercial uses on the property to the west based on the site’s
location and access to infrastructure. Finally, this development could have negative impacts on the
property to the south which is zoned A-S, and is highly agricultural in nature. If this development is
designed to mimic residential-type development, some of these impacts could be minimized or avoided.
Environmental Standards -
23. Is the exterior lighting, except for warning, emergency or traffic signals, installed in such a manner that the light source is
obscured to prevent excessive glare on public streets and walkways or into any residential area? The installation or erection
of any lighting which may be confused with warning signals, emergency signals, or traffic signals shall not be permitted.
With conditions, the proposal will satisfy this criteria.
Site Design -
25. Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) arranged on the site so that
activities are integrated with the organizational scheme of the community and neighborhood?
The site elements are as integrated as possible for this type of “semi-private” development. This site will
incorporate a significant amount of open space/landscaped areas that will be available for use and
enjoyment by not only the property owners, workers and patrons of this development, but by the public
as well. The site offers other amenities such as picnic tables in active recreation areas, and bike and
pedestrian paths, that will be available for use by the public. The development will eventually allow
movement of pedestrians and bicyclists between Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue without using
the busy Kagy/South 11th intersection.
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 9
26. Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to
produce an efficient, functionally organized, and cohesive planned unit development?
Generally, the layout of the site elements results in a functional and efficient PUD. Some of the DRB
members expressed a concern that the orientation of the buildings along Kagy Boulevard had a negative
impact on the cohesiveness of the project. Also, as stated before, the common open space areas would
be more effective if they were more consolidated and integrated. Finally, the number of street and/or
driveway crossings of the pedestrian/bicycle paths is a concern.
30. Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the site
configuration, and is at least thirty percent of the project, exclusive of yard setbacks and parking lot interior landscape,
developed as open space?
Approximately 37 percent of the site, which excluded required setbacks and internal parking lot
landscaping, (235,660 square feet) contains open space, landscaped areas or pedestrian/bicycle paths.
Approximately 59,573 square feet of this will be developed as active recreation areas. With the
recommended landscaping conditions, the site should have a high aesthetic quality. Again, the
consolidation of the open space areas would improve the open space site configuration. Some sort of
“patio” type concrete pad should be installed for each of the picnic tables.
34. Is the pedestrian circulation system designed to assure that pedestrians can move safely and easily both within the site and
between properties and activities within the neighborhood area?
As stated before, the fact that many of the pedestrian/bicycle paths are located adjacent to street rights-
of-way, as well parking areas, is of concern. The fact that the paths have many street and/or driveway
crossings is also a problem. These issues need to be addressed. Preferably, the site should be re-
configured to consolidate the common open space areas. If this is impossible, the number of street
and/or driveway crossings should be significantly reduced and the paths should be moved as far as
possible from streets and parking areas. At the very least, the paths should be clearly identified at all
crossings. Hopefully, the development will eventually allow movement of pedestrians and bicyclists
between Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue without using the busy Kagy/South 11th intersection.
36. Does the pedestrian circulation system incorporate design features to enhance convenience, safety and amenity across parking
lots and streets, including, but not limited to, paving patterns, grade differences, landscaping and lighting?
Again, there are a large number of crossings between pedestrian/bike paths with streets and driveways.
These need to be addressed. Preferably, some of the crossings could be eliminated. At the very least,
the path crossings need to be clearly identified through the use of striping, pavers, textured concrete,
etc.
37. Does the pedestrian and bicycle trail system adequately connect to the systems in adjacent neighborhoods?
There are no residential neighborhoods that are immediately adjacent to this site, therefore there is no
existing trail system to connect to. Ultimately, the trail system proposed for this site will connect with
sidewalks along Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue.
38. Does the landscape plan enhance the appearance of vehicular use, open space and pedestrian areas which contribute to their
usage and visual appearance?
The landscaping proposed for the perimeter of the site, as well as the common open space areas,
appears to be adequate. Staff is more concerned about the landscaping to be provided on each
individual lot. Staff would prefer that the mandatory landscaping requirements, as well as the landscape
Stadium Center Subdivision P.U.D. #Z-9811
Design Review Board Page 10
performance standards, of the Zoning Ordinance apply to each individual lot within the development.
This would ensure adequate landscaping on each site and around parking areas.
39. Does the landscaping plan enhance the building(s)?
The Covenants for the development require that each individual lot be landscaped and maintained by
each individual developer. However, the landscaping guidelines provided for the individual lots are
rather vague, and could be interpreted in many ways. Staff is concerned that this might result in
minimized and inconsistent landscaping in a development intended to have a cohesive, unified
appearance. Therefore, staff would recommend that the individual lots be required to conform with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance found in Section 18.50.100.D.5. “Mandatory Landscaping
Requirements” and Section 18.50.100.D.6. “Landscape Performance Standards”. The requirements in
these Section, that staff feels are especially important, include: requirements for 75 percent coverage
with live vegetative materials, parking lot landscaping, street frontage landscaping, acceptable landscape
materials, irrigation standards, and quantity of landscape plantings.
40. Does the landscape plan screen utility boxes, parking areas, loading areas, trash containers, outside storage areas, blank
walls or fences and other areas of low visual interest from roadways, pedestrian areas and public views?
The Covenants require that all roof mounted equipment be integrated into the overall roof design and
screened. Staff would like to add that all ventilation and/or mechanical equipment (not just rooftop) be
screened through building design or landscaping. The covenants do allow the use of fencing to screen
loading areas and mechanical equipment. Staff feels that the developer needs to establish height
restrictions for such fencing. The Covenants require garbage enclosures that are compatible with the
buildings in terms of materials and design. Most of the parking areas will be screened from adjacent
rights-of-way (Kagy Boulevard, South 11th, and the future road along the south property line) by the
buildings. The buildings will also screen the parking areas from adjacent neighborhoods.
41. Will all signs in the project be in compliance with the provisions of the Bozeman Sign Code?
The developer will be required to submit a Master Signage Plan with the Final Plan application. The
signage plan must comply with the requirements of the Sign Code.
COMMERCIAL PUD:
11. Does the project provide for outdoor recreational areas (such as additional landscaped areas, open spaces, trails, or picnic
areas) for the use and enjoyment of those living in, working in, or visiting the development?
Approximately 37 percent of the site will be designated as open space/landscaped areas. The site will
also feature a network of pedestrian/bicycle trails. Finally, the developer is proposing to install picnic
tables in the common open space areas. Staff feels that the picnic tables should be installed on
permanent “patios” or concrete pads.

executed Waivers of Right to Protest Creation of S.I.D.'s for the following improvements:
a. Street improvements to West Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue, including paving, curb and
gutter, sidewalk and storm drainage facilities.
b. Signalization of Kagy Boulevard and South 19th Avenue.
c. Signalization of Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue.
The document filed shall specify that in the event S.I.D.'s are not utilized for the completion of these
improvements, the developer agrees to participate in an alternate financing method for completion of
said improvements on a fair share, proportionate basis as determined by square footage of property,
taxable valuation of the property, traffic contribution from the development or a combination thereof.
13. The developer's engineer shall prepare a comprehensive utilities design report evaluating existing
capacity of water and sewer utilities and the demands of the proposed development. This report shall
accompany the plan and specification submittal for the subdivision infrastructure. The report must
include hydraulic evaluations of each utility for both existing and post-development demands. The
report findings must demonstrate adequate capacity to serve the full development. If adequate water
and/or sewer capacity is not available for full development, the report must identify necessary water
system and sewer system improvements required for full development.
14. Installation of the master-planned water main loop providing water service to this property or its
hydraulic equivalent must occur with this development. These consist of a 12 inch main running east-
west in Kagy boulevard which will connect with the main in South 19th Avenue, and a 12 inch main
running north-south either through this subdivision or in the South 11th Avenue alignment. The
proposed alignment as shown on the plan sheet prepared by Rocky Mountain Engineers dated 1/27/98
which accompanied the preliminary plat submittal is not hydraulically equivalent to the master-planned
mains. The 12 inch main in Kagy Boulevard must be installed prior to platting of Phase 1. It may be
looped into the City system by making a connection to the existing main located adjacent to the private
drive which provides access to University Apartments. Whether the 12 inch main running north-south
in 11th Avenue (or it's hydraulic equivalent) must be installed with Phase I or Phase II will depend on
the final alignment proposed by the developers engineer. The proposed alignment and design of this line
shall be included with the infrastructure drawings for Phase I.

protected with approved automatic fire suppression systems.
15. All proposed water and sewer mains shall be extended to the property or phase lines to adequately
accommodate future extensions and/or looping.
16. Any oversizing cost share agreement for that portion of the water main exceeding 8 inches in diameter
must be approved and executed by the City Commission prior to initiation of any construction of the
water main extension. The agreement shall define the terms under and the extent to which the City will
participate in the payback of the oversized portion of the main. The final amount paid by the City will
be based on the actual bid prices obtained and quantities installed by the developer.
17. Any payback agreement intended to recover a portion of the cost for installing the water main shall be
exclusive of any amount paid for by an oversizing agreement and shall meet the following conditions:

a. All necessary design reports and cost documentation used to establish and support the payback area
and amount must be prepared by the developer's engineer and shall be submitted with the plans and
specifications for the infrastructure.
b. The documents must be reviewed and approved by the both the City Engineer and the City
Commission prior to initiation of construction.
18. A Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by a Professional Civil Engineer registered in the State of Montana,
qualified in the area of Traffic Engineering must be submitted to and approved by the City Engineer.
The analysis shall address existing and projected traffic volumes on perimeter streets and level of service
evaluations at the intersections of Kagy Boulevard and South 19th Avenue and Kagy Boulevard and
South 11th Avenue. The report shall also include evaluations of level of service and recommendations
for any necessary off-site roadway improvements.
19. The developer shall widen the existing pavement along Kagy Boulevard and add a center turn lane
adjacent to this subdivision. These improvements shall be made adjacent to each phase of the
development and shall be complete and accepted by the City or financially guaranteed prior to issuance
of any occupancy permits for that phase. Sidewalk shall also be installed along the Kagy Boulevard
frontage with each phase. The final location of the sidewalk must be approved by the City Engineer.

constructed 32 feet wide with curb, gutter and sidewalk along the east side of the development.
No building permits for Phase II shall be issued prior to completion and City acceptance of the
South 11th Avenue improvements.
21. Prior to installation of required improvements, the developer must submit plans and specifications for
review and approval by the Planning Director and the City Engineering Department. After the plans
and specifications are approved, but before installation of the improvements commences, a pre-
construction meeting must be held between the developer, the developer’s engineer, the contractor, and
the City Engineering Department.
Prior to the initiation of construction public street improvements, plans and specifications for the
improvements to both Kagy Boulevard and South 11th Avenue, including sidewalk, curb and gutter
(South 11th Avenue only) and related storm drainage infrastructure improvements, prepared by a

and specifications for that phase have been approved by the City Engineer and a pre-construction
conference for that work has been conducted. Water mains shall be fully looped with each phase of
development. Easements for any sewer main extensions located outside of dedicated right-of-way shall
be a minimum of 30 feet in width, with the utility located in the center of the easement. In no case shall
the utility be less than 10 feet from edge of easement. Any sewer manholes located outside of an
improved surface shall be made accessible for maintenance purposes by constructing a 12 foot wide, all
weather access road capable of supporting the City's maintenance equipment.
The plans and specifications for infrastructure must clearly indicate the extent of all improvements
proposed for each phase. All infrastructure improvements required for each phase of the development
including water and sewer main extensions, public streets, curb and gutter, sidewalks and related storm
drainage infrastructure improvements shall be constructed or financially guaranteed prior to final plat
approval for each phase.
No building permits for any phase of development will be issued prior to City of Bozeman
acceptance of said infrastructure improvements for that phase except as provided for items in
Conditions 19 and 20 above.
