ITEM 3. PROJECT REVIEW
1. Crowley Fleck Bldg MSP/SP/COA #Z-13174 3217 South 19th Avenue
* A Master Site Plan with first phase site plan and Certificate
of Appropriateness application to construct a new commercial office building on 3.0679 acres. (Krueger)
City of Bozeman Development Review Manager Krueger presented the application.
The project needs to provide additional automobile and pedestrian (both interior and exterior) connectivity to adjacent properties. The plan shows consistent parking to meet zoning requirements.
The building style and materials are typical of other projects, and there are no franchise architecture issues. He noted code provisions for Phase 1 landscaping along 19th Avenue, and
potential for boulevard trees. Staff recommends conditional approval. Project representative Laura Dornberger clarified connectivity issues. DRM Krueger and Project representative Laura
Dornberger addressed board member questions, including the age of the house on the site, signage, LEED/energy conservation, and the building’s south elevation. Board discussion concurred
with Staff recommendation, and additionally recommended that the City prepare an architectural site form prior to the demolition of the present building. A motion was made and seconded
for recommendation of the application, with the additional condition that prior to the building’s demolition a Montana Architectural Site Form be completed and submitted to the State
of Montana State Historic Preservation Office. The Board passed the motion unanimously.
2. Lot 4 Spring Creek Village Resort MSP/SP/COA/DEV #Z-13155 (Riley) Resort, Huffine and Fallon
* A
Master Site Plan for a 22-lot commercial development with a first-phase site plan and certificate of appropriateness with deviations to allow construction of a lodge facility including
a restaurant, events center and extended-stay lodging units.
Associate Planner Riley presented the application, which most of the Board has seen previous versions over the years with other applications. Last year the site was approved for B-2
zoning. Topics included the two requested deviations, the shared use path that when extended in the future will connect Cottonwood Road to the MSU campus, and parking. Staff recommendations
include high-quality street furniture and scored colored concrete pedestrian crosswalks. Other items for discussion included focal point outdoor public spaces, and pedestrian circulation
within the parking lots. Applicant owner Mike Delaney spoke about the project. Applicant representative Thomas Bitnar presented the 1st phase building plans. Board member questions included
fencing, clarification of the area being reviewed at this meeting, public/green space requirements/public space, Streamline stop and route plans, vehicle travel pattern and access, architectural
guidelines for entryway corridors, visible building materials, roundabout intersections, fire department vehicle access, Park Avenue/stop lights, construction date and public restaurant
space in lodge. Board discussion included lodge feel, parking, oasis entryway, public greenspace, lodge complex layout/north access/pedestrian connectivity, Park Avenue termination visual
opportunities, west side de facto “driveway,” Resort Drive visual experience (pergolas/landscaping), and the Fallon Street and lodge interaction. A motion was made and seconded to
recommend approval of the application with the staff recommended conditions of approval. The motion was passed unanimously.
