Narrative to accompany application for P.U.D. modification for Lots
and 12 in Block 5 of the Walton Homestead P.U.D.
The house at 710 North 15`h Street was initially owned and built by Structura, LLC. and
then sold to Packy and Melissa Cronin.
This application for P.U.D. modification is made by Becki D. Miller and Kira E. Cey of
Structura, LLC. upon the discovery that the house at 712 North 15`h Street is located 2'-6"
into the North side setback. The discovery of the house's current location was made when
the adjacent property owner, Ross McMilin, was locating a proposed house to be built on
his lot 11, block 5.
Upon locating his proposed house, he observed that the property pin for his Southeast
corner and lot 12's northeast corner was missing. This may have been the reason for the
house on lot 12, being located where it is currently.
Upon his observation, Rocky Mountain Engineers was hired to locate the missing pin and
verify the correct location of the property pins for lots 10, 11, and 12 on block 5 of the
Walton Homestead P.U.D. After locating all of the property pins, it was discovered that
the house on lot 12 was in fact 2%6" into the north side setback at the northeast corner of
the house. However, no other setbacks on this lot were affected by the incorrect location
of the house. The house is still fully on its lot.
It is our best estimate that this error was made at the time of siting, excavation or pouring
foundation, due to the missing northeast property pin. It is our assumption that the
location of this property corner, in the absence of the pin, was measured incorrectly thus,
the placement of the house does not correlate with what was originally drawn on the site
plan.
There is no reason that the house would need to project into the setbacks as it would have
fit well within the setbacks and is frankly a mistake in siting and locating the house.
Once this discovery was made a meeting occurred to discuss how the owner of lot 11(Ross
McMilin) and Susan Kozub of the City of Bozeman Planning Department, would like to
proceed. At this meeting, it was decide that an application for P.U.D. modification would
be made to adjust the current common property line between lots 11 & 12.
This application requests that the common property line be shifted 2%6" to the north to
maintain a perpendicular property line with a 5' side setback from the house on lot 12.
This will decrease the size of lot 11 from 3800 s.f. which is the minimum size allowed by
the Walton Homestead P.U.D., to 3,555 s.f. The width of the lot would also be decreased
to 37'-6" as apposed to 40'-0" that is the minimum width allowed in this P.U.D.
