EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
1. Neighborhood Centers are required for all residential subdivisions that are ten net acres in
size or greater. The original Meadow Creek subdivision proposed Miller Park to serve as
180
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 2 of 41
the neighborhood center for the entire project including Meadow Creek Phase 1 (platted)
and what is now called Southbridge Phase II (partially platted). Miller Park has not been
dedicated or improved. The applicants have not proposed an alternative meeting the
neighborhood center requirements.
2. The applicant requested using low pressure sodium light fixtures previously purchased
for street lighting. Current policy requires LED fixtures.
3. The original Meadow Creek subdivision reviewed and approved the park located between
South 19th and 20th Avenues. However, Section 38.27.060, BMC requires 100 percent of
its perimeter on public or private streets or roads. Although there are provisions that
allow frontage on less than 100% of lot frontage but in no case shall it be less than 50%.
The current plan show lot frontage on 42.98% of frontage. This is a code provision that
requires correction. The area under review (Southbridge, formally Meadow Creek Phase
II) received preliminary plat approval on November 7, 2005 and was valid for three years
and expired on Friday, November 7, 2008. File No. P05053.
Project Summary
The property owner Shady Lane Ranch, LP, 4399 S 29th Avenue, Bozeman, MT 59718,
Applicant Holyoke III, Inc., 9030 N Hess Street #363, Hayden, ID 83835, represented by
Madison Engineering, Inc., 895 Technology Blvd., Suite 203, Bozeman, MT 59718 submitted an
application to subdivide 24.2 acres into 75 residential single-household lots, five (5) Open Space
lots, three (3) Park areas, and with the remaining area as street right of ways.
Southbridge Phase II (formally Meadow Creek Phase II) is partially developed. Three phases of
Southbridge Phase II have been platted with a third currently being contemplated (Phase III).
This phase “Southbridge” is the fourth phase. Southbridge Phase I, Phase 1A, and Phase 2
anticipated that Miller Park would serve as the Neighborhood Center. However, in order to
permit platting of these phases an “Interim Park” was dedicated through the use of an easement
with proposed parkland improvements to meet minimum parkland requirements with
Southbridge Phase I Final Plat (Document No. 245200). The Applicant is requesting to dissolve
this easement and provide cash in-lieu of parkland for future development. If approved, this
request will be executed as a part of the future Phase III Final Plat application.
Parkland for Southbridge will be provided by a combination of parkland dedication and cash in-
lieu of parkland. The proposed park plan has been reviewed by the Recreation and Parks
Advisory Board (RPAB). Additional discussion can be found under Section 6 below and the
RPAB summary is attached to this report.
Alternatives
1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
181
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 3 of 41
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Open and continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to staff
or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items.
If the Commission allows payment of cash-in-lieu of parkland the following condition of
approval is recommended:
The applicant recognizes it must meet the parkland requirements of Section 38.27.020, BMC.
The applicant also recognizes it seeks to use available parkland associated with the dedicated
parkland within Meadow Creek Phase 1 including the dedicated city park known as “Lerner
Park” and should therefore participate in the maintenance of such parkland. Therefore, the
applicant shall, prior to final plat approval, work with the Meadow Creek Property Owners
Association (MCPOA) to arrive at an agreed upon method to ensure the applicant and any
future property owner’s association created for this subdivision (including all its phases)
succeeding in interest to the applicant contribute sufficient consideration to the MCPOA on
an equitable basis for the maintenance and upkeep of existing publicly dedicated parks and
publicly accessible open space lands and trails located within the area of Meadow Creek
Subdivision Phase 1. Prior to final plat approval, the applicant shall provide evidence that an
agreed upon method has been established. The agreement may contain a provision that
should the City create a park maintenance district for maintenance of areas subject to the
agreement the agreement may terminate.
May 6, 2014 Planning Board Meeting Supplement
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this preliminary plat on May 6, 2014. No public
comment was received at the public hearing. However, substantial discussion ensued regarding
the unresolved issues listed above. The primary focus of the discussion focused on the provision
of a neighborhood center and whether or not cash in-lieu of parkland adequately provides for
needed recreational facilities for future residents.
Due to the review schedule the official meeting minutes are not available at this time. The
following discussion is a brief synopsis of the Board’s discussion:
The Planning Board considered the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB)
recommended approval of the proposed plan. However, the Board noted that the RPAB
summary includes concerns about inadequate park land and that Miller Park has not been
dedicated and may never be dedicated as it is under different ownership. The RPAB
comments are attached to this report.
The Board inquired about how much surplus parkland was dedicated with Meadow Creek
Phase I and whether or not that surplus may be applied to Southbridge Phase II. Staff’s
analysis shows the original Meadow Creek park plan included 20.58 acres, exclusive of
182
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 4 of 41
wetlands. Total parkland and open space which includes wetlands totaled 49.15 acres. In
addition:
o Meadow Creek Phase I platted 155 lots and provided 11.809 acres of parkland
including Lerner, Ainsworth, and 3 “pocket” parks.
o Total parkland dedication requirements for Meadow Creek Phase I as amended is
12.03 acres (401 units at 0.03 acres per dwelling unit). This assumes 8 units per
acre for R-3 zoning maximum for multi-household (Section 38.27.020, BMC) lots
and a reduction in park requirements from the Amended Plat of Meadow Creek
Phase I, Blocks 5 and 9 (128 to 4) and Block 4 (19 to 10).
o Therefore, there is no excess parkland available to distribute to future phases of
Meadow Creek or Southbridge subdivisions.
The Board continued by commenting on cash in-lieu of parkland and suggested the
required amount of parkland would be equivalent to approximately 6 lots. An estimated
value of the cash in-lieu is $53,610.16.
Southbridge Phase I, IA, and Phase 2 were granted final plat approval based on parkland
area established by the temporary Interim Park which was created by an easement. The
Interim Park has bifurcated ownership and will be dissolved.

P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 5 of 41
In conclusion the Planning Board moved to recommend approval of the Southbridge
Subdivision, and seconded. The motion was amended to strike any requirement for LED light
fixtures. The amendment moved and seconded and passed unanimously. Then the Board voted
(6:2) to recommend the City Commission approved the Southbridge Subdivision with conditions
and code provisions outlined in the staff report.
Next the Board moved to approve cash in-lieu of parklands dedication for the Southbridge
Subdivision, the motion was seconded. Discussion focused on the needs of the residents and
whether or not there is sufficient parkland to accommodate those needs with or without the non-
existent Miller Park. In conclusion the Board voted 5:3 to recommend the City Commission
accept cash in-lieu of parkland dedication.
If the Commission allows Southbridge to utilize parkland dedicated with Meadow Creek Phase I,
additional conditions of approval are required to insure that Southbridge pays into its equitable
fair share of ongoing park maintenance with the existing Meadow Creek Home Owners
Association and creates a mechanism to coordinate those activities. A condition addressing this
has been added to the Alternatives.
Southbridge Subdivision was granted adequacy on March 19, 2014. Pursuant to Section
38.03.040.A.5.a(4), BMC, the Commission has 80 working days to hold a public hearing for
subdivision with 50 or more lots. In this case, the public hearing must be held on or before July
11, 2014.

respective final park plan(s). This further implies that all streets adjacent to parkland for each phase of the major subdivision must be improved with said phase.
SECTION 5 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Project Name: Southbridge Major Subdivision preliminary plat
File: P-14010
Development Review Committee
The Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed the Preliminary Plat application on
March 12, 19, and April 2, 2014. The Applicant proposed changes to the submitted plan on
April 10, 2014 that required review by the DRC, therefore, the DRC held a fourth meeting on
April 16, 2014 to make their final decision. The DRC recommended conditional approval of the
preliminary plat application.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board reviewed the proposed subdivision on March 21,
2014. Being aware of the storied history of the development they provided specific comment
and recommendations. The RPAB comment and recommendations are attached to this report.
Specific recommendations include:
• Given that the planning and infrastructure was already developed and approved before
the dissolution of Meadow Creek, it is unreasonable to hold Southbridge to the same
park dedication standards we would require of a startup subdivision. However, there
will be many families living there with a need for neighborhood parks.
• We never liked the design concept of the interim park but felt it was a necessary
placeholder until the Miller Park issue was resolved. As such, we think that cash-in-
lieu is probably a better value for the city than developing this ill-conceived interim
park.
195
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 17 of 41
• We are generally supportive of the applicant’s proposal of parkland and cash-in-lieu,
but we think there is a need for continuing the discussion re what will constitute their
neighborhood center and how to handle the lack of street frontage for the parkland that
will be dedicated.
• We are supportive of the 6’ bike/pedestrian sidewalk rather than a redundant parallel
sidewalk and trail.
Planning Board
The Planning Board held its public hearing on May 6, 2014. No public comment was received.
The Planning Board voted to recommend the preliminary plat and cash in-lieu for parkland
dedication for approval with the conditions and code provisions as noted in this staff report.
City Commission
The City Commission public hearing is scheduled for May 19, 2014 to consider the preliminary
plat and make a final decision.
196
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 18 of 41
SECTION 6 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, and plans, public comment, and all other materials available during
the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis is a
summary of the completed review.
Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.03.040, BMC.
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The preliminary plat has been prepared in accordance with the survey requirements of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of
Montana. As noted in recommended Condition No. 1, the final plat must comply with State
statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat shall comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Unified
Development Code (UDC). The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code
provisions that are not specifically listed as a condition of approval, does not, in any way, create
a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State
law.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of
the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The hearings before the Planning Board and City Commission have been properly noticed as
required by the Bozeman UDC. Based on the recommendation of the DRC, RPAB, and other
applicable review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the Planning
Board shall forward a recommendation in a report to the City Commission who will make the
final decision on the applicant’s request.
A preliminary plat application was submitted on February 19, 2014 and after the receipt of
additional information required by Title 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) on February
28, 2014 was deemed acceptable for initial review on March 5, 2014. The preliminary plat was
reviewed by the DRC on March 12, 19, April 2 and April 16, 2014. The DRC and Staff
determined the submittal contained detailed, supporting information that is sufficient to allow for
the review of the proposed subdivision on March 19, 2014.
Public notice for this application was placed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Sunday, April
20, 2014. The site was posted with a public notice on April 17, 2014. Public notice was sent to
197
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 19 of 41
physically adjacent property owners via certified mail, and to all other property owners of record
within 200 feet of the subject property via first class mail, on April 17, 2014. No comments have
been received as of the production date of this report.
On May 2, 2014 this major subdivision staff report was drafted and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval by the Planning Director for consideration by the
Planning Board. The Planning Board is scheduled to consider and make recommendation to the
City Commission on May 6, 2014 and the City Commission is scheduled to make a final
decision at their May 19, 2014 public hearing. The final decision for a Major Subdivision
Preliminary Plat with 50 lots or more must be made within 80 working days of the date it was
deemed adequate; or in this case by July 11, 2014.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Based on review of the DRC and the Department of Community Development it appears that not
all applicable regulations have been met. Pertinent code provisions and site specific
requirements are included in this report for City Commission consideration (unresolved issues)
which brings the proposed subdivision into compliance with all adopted codes.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and
installation of any necessary utilities
As noted under Staff Finding No. 2 above and required Section 38.23.060.A, all easements,
existing and proposed, shall be accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the
final plat application. Therefore, all utilities and necessary utility easements will be provided
and depicted accordingly on the final plat.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and
the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the
parcel
All of the proposed lots have frontage to public streets constructed to City standards with lot
frontage meeting minimum standard shown on the preliminary plat. In addition, pursuant to
Section 38.24.090.A, BMC, plats shall contain a statement requiring lot accesses to be built to
the standard contained in this section, the city design standards and specifications policy, and the
city modifications to state public works standard specifications.
Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608
1) The effect on agriculture
The subject property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman
Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential development and has previously undergone
subdivision review and approval and has begun to be developed. Although the property has
historically been used for agricultural production those activities have ceased. In addition,
during the review and approval of the Meadow Creek major subdivision the effects on
198
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 20 of 41
agricultural were addressed and mitigated (File P05053). Therefore, this subdivision will not
have adverse effects on agriculture.
2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities
According to the Water Resources Survey, 1961, the area was served by the Middle Creek Ditch
with laterals terminating on the subject property. Currently the subject property is designated as
a residential area according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan; the area is zoned for
residential development, has previously undergone subdivision review and approval, and has
begun to develop. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will have minimal impacts on
agricultural water user facilities. Water rights have been separated from the property and
therefore no further use of the agricultural water user facilities will occur. The abandoned laterals
will be filled during the on-site construction of new homes and infrastructure.
3) The effect on Local services
Water/Sewer – Municipal water and sewer mains have been installed in anticipation of
development in the adjacent street right-of-ways. Each lot will connect to the constructed water
and sewer mains designed to the appropriate design standard shall be located in the standard
location as approved by the water/sewer superintendent.
The water and sewer mains located in South 23rd Avenue easement will be relocated to be
entirely within the property boundary of the proposed subdivision. The original Meadow Creek
subdivision showed South 23rd Avenue to cross onto the adjacent property to the west. As
shown on the Southbridge plat the entire South 23rd Avenue 60 foot right of way is located
within the Southbridge property boundary. Therefore, the existing water and sewer line will be
severed and a parallel system will be installed at the developer’s expense. Specific conditions of
approval from the Engineering Department are of approval are discussed in the preliminary plat
supplements section under 38.41.060.A.10.
Streets – With the construction of streets proposed to provide access to individual lots within the
subdivision the DRC has determined that the streets will have capacity to accommodate this
development. Following new water and service line installations to accommodate the new
lots/development, all street improvements will be constructed to acceptable City standards with
curb, gutter, pavement, boulevard sidewalks and storm water facilities. The Transportation
Impact Study (TIS) update performed to assess the impacts the subdivision will have on the
transportation networked suggested it is unlikely that there would be any identifiable traffic
impacts associated with subdivision traffic and the key intersections surrounding the site.
Police/Fire – The property is located within the City’s Police and Fire emergency response area.
The subdivider must obtain addresses for the new lots from the City Engineer’s Office prior to
filing the final plat to facilitate emergency response to the site.
Stormwater - The standard requirement for a detailed review of the final grading and drainage
plan, and approval by the City Engineer, will be required as part of the infrastructure plan and
199
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 21 of 41
specification review process prior to final plat approval. Specific locations for storm water areas
are show on the face of the plat.
Parklands - The applicant proposed parkland dedication and cash in-lieu of parkland dedication
to meet minimum parkland to meet Section 38.27, BMC. The proposed subdivision includes 75
single-household lots requiring 2.25 acres of parkland dedication. Three (3) park areas are
shown on the face of the plat totaling 30,998 square feet or 0.7116 acres. The Applicant
proposed cash in-lieu for the remainder of the required dedication.
In order to meet the standards found in Section 38.27, BMC a Park Master Plan was developed
for the Southbridge subdivision and is included with the applicant submittal.
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board subdivision reviewed the proposed on March 21,
2014. The RPAB is generally supportive of the applicant’s proposal of parkland and cash-in-
lieu. However, the Board noted there is a need for continued discussion on what will constitute
their neighborhood center and how to handle the lack of street frontage for dedicated parkland.
Additional comments and mitigation were suggested; the complete RPAB comments are
attached to this report.
The RPAB noted the wedge shaped parks adjacent to the open space are an extension of those
open spaces and should be maintained by the HOA. The Board noted that it tends to be
inefficient for the City to accept and maintain small isolated park areas.
4) The effect on the Natural environment
No significant physical or topographical features have been identified, (e.g., outcroppings,
geological formations, steep slopes), on the subject property. Provisions will be made to address
the control of noxious weeds and maintenance of the property and will be further addressed by
inclusion in the existing protective covenants and compliance with the recommended conditions
of approval.
5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat
The subject property is within a previously subdivided area, Meadow Creek Subdivision and
underwent review for effects on wildlife and wildlife habitat. The subject property is designated
as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan. The area is zoned for
residential development has previously undergone subdivision review and approval and has
begun to be developed. The impacts to the more important habitat areas were addressed and
mitigated during the review of the Meadow Creek Phase 1 subdivision. Sensitive habitat areas
are contained within the common open space surrounding the watercourse and provide a buffer
between any development activity and this area. Therefore, the subdivision will have minimal
impacts on wildlife and wildlife habitat.
6) The effect on Public health and safety
The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare. The subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC which
200
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 22 of 41
has determined that it is in general compliance with the title. Any other conditions deemed
necessary to ensure compliance have been noted throughout this staff report. In addition, all
subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont Code Ann. and
as a result, the Department of Community Development has reviewed this application against the
listed criteria and further provides the following summary for submittal materials and
requirements.
Preliminary Plat Supplements
A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC on December 11, 2013.
With the pre-application plan review application, waivers were requested by the applicant from
Section 38.41.060 “Additional Subdivision Preliminary Plat Supplements” for several of the
standard preliminary plat supplements due to the nature of this previously platted/developed
property. The DRC granted a partial waiver to the supplemental information under 38.41.060,
BMC is granted with this pre-application plan review application for: 1) geology-soils-slopes, 2)
vegetation, 3) wildlife, 4) historical features, 5) agriculture, 6) agricultural water user facilities,
7) surface water, 8) floodplains, 9) workforce housing, and 10) groundwater.
Waivers to the supplemental information for the following are not granted: 1) water and sewer,
2) streets, roads and alleys, 3) storm water management, 4) utilities, 5) land use, 6) neighborhood
center plan, 7) lighting plan, and 8) parks and recreational facilities.
38.41.060.A.1 Surface Water
A waiver was granted for surface water supplementary information. Surface water was
addressed with the original Meadow Creek subdivision. No alterations to the original plan are
proposed. The water course shown in the Aerial Image map found in Section 1 of this report is
located within the common open space and provides an excess of buffer to meet all applicable
code provisions to watercourse protection.
38.41.060.A.2 Floodplains
A waiver was granted for floodplain supplementary information. Based on previous Hydraulic
Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) output results the 100-year flood flows
would be contained within the channels of the streams that border the development to the east
and the west. In addition, the Specific FEMA Panel of interest (0814D) is labeled “Panel Not
Printed – No Special Flood Hazard Areas”. Therefore, there is minimal impact caused by
floodplains.
38.41.060.A.3 Groundwater
Supplemental groundwater information was granted a waiver to the supplemental information
requirement by the pre-application process and may use the previous information submitted with
the Meadow Creek Subdivision. Extensive groundwater monitoring was performed for the
Meadow Creek subdivision in 2005 and again in 2010 showing a proclivity of high groundwater
in the area. Little change in the in groundwater levels from 2005 were recorded. The developer
201
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 23 of 41
is not proposing any changes to the original approval, therefore recommendations for depth of
crawl space and possible slab-on-grade foundations would remain in effect.
38.41.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The subject property has previous undergone
subdivision review. There are no known geologic hazards associated with the site. The
property is relatively flat minimizing geologic hazards.
38.41.060.A.5 Vegetation
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. No significant or critical vegetation exists on the
subject property. Noxious weeds are being controlled by the required Noxious Weed
Management Plan. In addition, there are ongoing performance measures required with the Weed
Management Plan to insure control of noxious weeds on site.
38.41.060.A.6 Wildlife
Supplement information waived by the DRC. This is a developing urban area. The primary
wildlife corridor is being preserved as common open space to protect the water course and
sensitive vegetative cover that is conducive to support wildlife. Therefore, the subdivision will
have minimal impacts on wildlife. The Parks Master Plan includes proposed plantings and
improvements in open space and park areas.
38.41.060.A.7 Historical Features
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. This is a developing urban area. According to
the Meadow Creek Phase 1 subdivision submittal there was no indication of any prehistoric or
historic cultural resources on the site.
38.41.060.A.8 Agriculture
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. This is a developing area and this property is not
used for agriculture.
38.41.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. This is a developing area and all necessary ditch
easements are in place. In addition, there are no known agricultural water user facilities within
the boundaries of the subject property.
38.41.060.A.10 Water and Sewer
Water for domestic and fire protection will be provided by connections to the City of Bozeman
water system. Public infrastructure improvements adjacent to the property (roads, parks, water,
and sewer) have been constructed to City of Bozeman standards around the perimeter of the
property. Additional water and sewer lines will be constructed to serve each individual lot. The
City Engineering Department has reviewed the plans. City Engineering conditioned the
202
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 24 of 41
subdivision that all water and sewer service lines shall be located in the standard location as
approved by the water/sewer superintendent.
South 23rd Avenue will be realigned to be located entirely within the boundaries of the
Southbridge Subdivision. This realignment will require the abandonment of the existing
water/sewer infrastructure installed with the Meadow Creek subdivision. All necessary utilities
will be located entirely within the proposed right of way.
38.41.060.A.11 Stormwater Management
Stormwater improvements for the Southbridge subdivision were previously installed for Meadow
Creek subdivision, including piping, manholes, catch basins and detention facilities. Stormwater
facilities include surface and curb flow, pipe conveyance, and detention basins. The storm sewer
inlet and piping system was designed to handle a 25-year storm event. Placement and design of
the facilities will be approved by both the City Engineer’s Office and Planning Office.
As noted above South 23rd Avenue will be realigned to be located entirely within the boundaries
of the Southbridge Subdivision. This realignment will require realigning the stormwater system
as well. The design improvements are included with the applicant submittal under tab K. All
necessary utilities will be located entirely within the proposed right of way.
38.41.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys
Vehicular and pedestrian circulation and lot access to Southbridge subdivision will be provided
by a standard 33’ wide public street with curb-gutter and sidewalk on both sides. Public streets
will be in a 60’ dedicated public right-of-way and will connect into the existing street system and
will be constructed to local City street standards. With the exception of the realigned South 23rd
Avenue and the alley between South 21st and 22nd Avenue excavation and base material were
installed with Meadow Creek subdivision improvements. Sixty foot roadway and utility
easements were granted to the City over all the roadways in the proposed subdivision.
Sidewalks adjacent to parks on local street are required to be six (6’) feet in width as noted in the
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan, 2007 Update (Figure 9-13). In addition, the
Recreation and Parks Advisory Board recommended the sidewalk adjacent to South 20th avenue and the park/open space with public access be constructed to a six foot width rather than requiring a fines trail within the common open space and a sidewalk adjacent to South 20th
Avenue. Therefore, staff included Condition 6 to insure compliance with this design standard.
A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) update was prepared for the original Southbridge subdivision and
submitted with the preliminary plat application. The analysis presented in the report indicates
the proposed development site-generated traffic can be adequately accommodated by the existing
roadway network adjacent to the site through the proposed build-out year of the development
(2017). As required the subdivider provided an updated TIS to assess the impacts the
subdivision will have on the transportation network. The findings suggested it is unlikely that
there would be any identifiable traffic impacts associated with subdivision traffic and the key
intersections surrounding the site (applicant submittal appendix I).
203
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 25 of 41
Blocks 9, 10, 11, and 12 exceed block length standards found in Section 38.23.040, BMC. The
block lengths are approximately 580 feet, 580 feet, 980 feet, the southern portion of Block 12
980 feet, and adjacent to 19th Avenue 750 feet, respectively. In addition, no continuous length of
block shall exceed 600 feet without intersecting a street or pedestrian walk as specified under
Section 38.23.040.D, BMC. The subdivision design provides for adequate pedestrian rights-of-
way to allow block length to exceed the design standard as shown on the plat. The Development
Review Committee considered the proposed design and found the applicable design standards
are met and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Commission.
38.41.060.A.13 Utilities
All private utilities servicing the subdivision will be installed underground. The DRC and local
review agencies did not identify any potential impacts and/or concerns with providing private
utilities to the subdivision. The final plat shall provide public utility easements along all front,
side and rear lot lines as required by Section 38.23.050, BMC.
However, in the event front and/or rear yard utility easements are used, side rear yard easements
must still be provided on the plat unless written confirmation is submitted to the Planning Office
from all utility companies and Director of Public Works indicating that front and rear yard 10-
foot wide easements are adequate to service said subdivision lots.
38.41.060.A.14 Educational Facilities
Impacts on educational facilities were addressed with the original Meadow Creek Subdivision.
An additional four (4) residential single-household lots are being proposed for this subdivision.
The potential additional student population will have minimal impacts on educational facilities.
38.41.060.A.15 Land Use
The 75 proposed lots comply with the existing zoning designation of R-3. The stated intent of
the subdivision is to provide for single-household lots although a number of parcels are of
sufficient size to accommodate duplexes.
38.41.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities
The Applicant proposed a combination of parkland dedication and cash in-lieu of parkland to
meet the minimum standards of this section. Based on the number of proposed lots (75) an
equivalent of 2.25 acres of parkland is required. In order to meet the standards found in Section
38.27, BMC a Park Master Plan was developed for the Southbridge subdivision and is included
with the applicant submittal; tab H of the applicant submittal. The Plan details the improvements,
maintenance and responsible parties for ongoing management of the properties.
Three (3) park areas are shown on the face of the plat totaling 30,998 square feet or 0.7116 acres.
Two park areas are adjacent to common open space on the west side of South 20th Avenue and
the third provides access from South 19th Avenue to South 20th Avenue in the historic access to
the Fink Family Homestead.
204
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 26 of 41
Park Frontage
The park area between South 19th and 20th Avenue (East Park) includes 43 percent of perimeter
on public or private streets or roads. Pursuant to Section 38.27.060.A, BMC, park land,
excluding linear trail corridors, shall have frontage along 100 percent of its perimeter on public
or private streets or roads. The city may consider and approve the installation of streets along
less than 100 percent, but not less than 50 percent, of the perimeter when certain conditions are
met.
The Meadow Creek Subdivision reviewed and approved by the Commission included the park
on November 7, 2005. As shown in the Park Master Plan it did not have public access fronting a
minimum of 50 percent as required by Section 38.27.060.A, BMC. Staff reviewed the regulatory
history of this code provision and found that the current standard was adopted after the approval
of the Meadow Creek subdivision. In addition, Staff reviewed the preliminary plat application
and the finding of fact signed at that time and found no discussion or specific finding allowing
the park not to meet this minimum standard. However, the Commission granted approval of the
Meadow Creek subdivision with the parks location and general dimensions. The current
proposal carries that design forward to fruition without major modification of the original design.
Numerous components of the original Meadow Creek subdivision have been platted including
Meadow Creek Phase I and approximately half of the area of Southbridge Phase II (formally
Meadow Creek Phase II). The entire area of the Meadow Creek subdivision was granted a one-
year extension on November 24, 2008 continuing the approval until November 7, 2009.
205
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 27 of 41
Therefore, the area contained in the Southbridge subdivision original preliminary plat approval
expired on November 7, 2009.
A solution to this non-conformance is to re-classify this park as common open space. This
alternative would reduce the amount of parkland being counted toward dedication and increase
the amount of cash in-lieu of parkland. Other alternatives are available.
The proposed park does not meet this standard and therefore, is listed as an unresolved issue.
Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board subdivision reviewed the proposed on March 21,
2014. The RPAB is generally supportive of the applicant’s proposal of parkland and cash-in-
lieu. However, the Board noted there is a need for continued discussion on what will constitute
their neighborhood center and how to handle the lack of street frontage for dedicated parkland.
Additional comments and mitigation were suggested; the complete RPAB comments are
attached to this report.
Cash in-Lieu of Parkland
The applicant provided as estimate for their cash in-lieu of parkland dedication which can be
found in tab D of the applicant submittal. The equivalent of 1.5384 acres of cash in lieu is
required. Pursuant to Section 38.27.030, BMC, Cash donation in-lieu of land dedication shall be
equal to the fair market value of the amount of land that would have been dedicated. On March
21, 2014 the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board met to consider the requested cash in-lieu of
parkland request and recommended the City Commission accept the cash in-lieu. A summary of
the meeting is attached to this report. A land appraisal accompanied the submittal establishing
the value of the cash in-lieu of parkland for this project at $0.80 per square foot. However, in the
fist sentence of the estimate provided states the valuation is for “R-1” zoning. The subject
property is zoned R-3. In addition, the third land comparison is described as the SW ¼ / NW ¼
and the NW ¼ / SW ¼ of Section 24, T2S, R5E, Gallatin County. This area is zoned R-1 and R-
2. However, the appraisal states the zoning is “RU – Residential Urban”. There is no “RU”
within the City limits or the adjacent Gallatin County Bozeman Area Zoning District.
Therefore, it is unclear whether or not the estimate is valid for this purpose.
A total of 2.25 acres of parkland or equivalent is required, less dedicated parkland. Therefore, a
cash in-lieu payment of (1.5384 acres x $0.80 per square foot) $53,610.16 is required prior to
final plan approval. Staff provided a motion to accept the cash in-lieu if the Commission
determines the following criteria have been met pursuant to Section 38.27.030.A, BMC.
The review authority may determine whether the park dedication must be a land
dedication, cash donation in-lieu of land dedication or a combination of both. When
making this determination, the review authority shall consider the following:
206
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 28 of 41
1. The desirability and suitability of land for parks and playgrounds based on size,
topography, shape, location or other circumstances; and
2. The expressed preference of the developer.
38.41.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan
Pursuant to Section 38.23.020.A, BMC to provide a neighborhood focal point, all residential
subdivisions or planned unit developments, that are ten net acres in size or greater, shall have a
neighborhood center. Southbridge includes 24.2 net acres of land. As noted earlier in this report the original Meadow Creek subdivision contemplated Miller Park as the neighborhood center. However, the dedication and improvements of Miller Park were not completed with the Meadow
Creek Phase I or the initial phases of Southbridge Phase II.
It is the developer’s preference to continue efforts to develop Miller Park as the neighborhood
center for Meadow Creek Phase I and Southbridge Phase II subdivisions. Staff and the Recreation and Park Board support the concept of developing Miller Park as the areas primary neighborhood center. However, there is grave concern Miller Park will not be dedicated or
developed to serve this purpose. Please see the RPAB comment letter dated March 21, 2014
attached to this report. Tab F, part Q the Applicant submittal discusses the neighborhood center
plan.
To insure compliance with adopted code requirements staff has listed the neighborhood center as an unresolved issue under the Executive Summary and as a code requirement needing correction
in Section 4 of this report.
207
P-14010, Staff Report for the SOUTHBRIDGE MAJOR SUBDIVISION Page 29 of 41
38.41.060.A.18 Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required pursuant to Section 38.23.150.B, BMC. The street
lighting plan will mimic the previously reviewed Southbridge Phase II Subdivision Light Plan to
provide lighting consistency with the adjoining subdivision. A lighting plan will need to be
submitted for review and approval prior to the contracting, creation of an S.I.L.D. and
installation of lights (Advisory Condition l). The plan shall include a pole light detail with
spacing based on high pedestrian conflict, a local street pole light at one per local street
intersection, and a bollard light detail for placement at pathway/street intersections. All street
lights installed shall use LED light heads lights, including bollard light, and shall conform to the
City’s requirement for cut-off shields. However, the Applicant has requested the use of the
existing light fixtures purchased during the initial development of the subdivision.
38.41.060.A.19 Miscellaneous
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The subdivision will not impact access to any
public lands and there are no identified hazards in proximity to the subject property.
38.41.060.A.20 Affordable Housing
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The Workforce Housing, Section 10.08.030,
BMC, had been suspended by the City Commission.

APPENDIX B – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned “R-3” (Residential Medium Density District). The intent of the R-
3 residential medium density district is to provide for the development of one- to five-household
residential structures near service facilities within the city. It should provide for a variety of
housing types to serve the varied needs of households of different size, age and character, while
reducing the adverse effect of nonresidential uses.
Pursuant to Section 38.08.080, BMC, minimum net density in the R-3 District is five dwellings
per net acre. A minimum is required to support efficiency in use of land and provision of
municipal services, and to advance the purposes and goals of this chapter and the adopted growth
policy. The proposed subdivision will create 75 residential single-household lots for a density
of 5.28 dwellings per net acre.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman Community Plan. The Plan
indicates that “This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density
dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low
intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential
areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of
services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile.
Implementation of this category by residential zoning should provide for and coordinate
intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation
indicates that it is expected that development will occur within municipal boundaries, which may
require annexation prior to development.”
The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings per
net acre.

APPENDIX C – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description
The property owner Shady Lane Ranch, LP, applicant Holyoke III, Inc., and represented by
Madison Engineering, Inc., 895 Technology Blvd., Suite 203, Bozeman, MT 59718 submitted
application to subdivide 24.2 acres into 75 residential single-household lots, five (5) Open Space
lots, three (3) Park areas, and with the remaining area as street right of ways.
All water and sewer infrastructure has been installed. The location of the common open space is
designed to preserve and protect the existing watercourse and provide nature amenities for the
residences of the area.
Due to diverse ownership of the adjacent properties South 23rd Avenue will be relocated entirely
onto the subject property from its current location. This relocation necessitates severing water
and sewer connections and re-installing the infrastructure to be within the dedicated road right of
way.
Project Background
Southbridge Phase II (formally Meadow Creek Phase II) is partially developed. Three phases of
Southbridge Phase II have been platted with a third currently being contemplated (Phase III).
This phase “Southbridge” is the fourth phase. Southbridge Phase I, Phase 1A, and Phase 2
anticipated that Miller Park would serve as the Neighborhood Center. However, in order to
permit platting of these phases an “Interim
Park” was dedicated through the use of an
easement with proposed parkland
improvements to meet minimum parkland
requirements with Southbridge Phase I
Final Plat (Document No. 245200). The
Applicant is requesting to dissolve this
easement and provide cash in-lieu of
parkland for future development. This
request will be a part of the future Phase
III Final Plat application. Please note note
that with the loss of the interim park these
initial phases of Southbridge Phase II do
not have sufficient parkland dedicated to
meet minimum requirements.
Parkland for Southbridge will be provided
by a combination of parkland dedication and cash in-lieu of parkland. The proposed park plan
has been reviewed by the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB). Additional discussion
can be found under Section 6 below and the RPAB summary is attached to this report.

APPENDIX D – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
A subdivision pre-application was submitted on November 13, 2013. The pre-application was
reviewed by the DRC on November 27, December 4 and 11, 2013 and summary review
comments were forwarded to the applicant in preparation of the preliminary plat application and
granted numerous supplemental information waivers under 38.41.060, BMC.
A complete preliminary plat application was submitted on February 19, 2014 and deemed
acceptable for initial review after additional information was provided March 5, 2014. The
preliminary plat was reviewed by the DRC on March 12, 19, and April 2, 2014. On March 19,
2014 the DRC and Staff determined the submittal contained detailed, supporting information that
is sufficient to allow for the review of the proposed subdivision.
Public notice for this application was placed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Sunday, April
20, 2014. The site was posted with a public notice on April 21, 2014. Public notice was sent to
adjacent property owners via certified mail, and to all other property owners of record within 200
feet of the subject property via first class mail, on April 18, 2014. No comment has been
received.
On April 29, 2014 this subdivision staff report was drafted and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval by the Planning Director for consideration by the
Bozeman Planning Board and City Commission. The Planning Board held a hearing on May 6,
2014 to consider the application. The City Commission is scheduled to make a final decision at
their May 19, 2014 public hearing.

Bozeman Recreation & Parks Advisory Board
P.O. Box 1230 · Bozeman, MT · 59771 Park Plan Review
SUBJECT: Southbridge
PLANNER: Tom Rogers
FROM: Subdivision Review Committee
DATE OF REVIEW: March 21, 2014
OVERVIEW:
• Southbridge is one of the splintered remains of the bankrupt Meadow Creek
Subdivision. The original Meadow Creek plan had the very large Miller Park as its
principal park dedication and neighborhood center. Unfortunately, Miller Park was
never dedicated and is now under separate ownership. All of the planning for Meadow
Creek Phase II, which is now Southbridge, was predicated on developing Miller Park.
Thus the proposed parkland in Southbridge is lacking in acreage, active recreation
space and a neighborhood center.
• Shady Lane Park, which is dedicated, is fronted by S. 19th Ave. It should not be
developed as a playground area.
• The wedge shaped parks in the south phase of the project are in reality an expansion of
the open space that runs north/south through the eastern side of the development.
• The “Interim Park” was proposed as a last resort to meet the dedication requirement if
Miller Park were never developed. The development of Southbridge has reached the
point where developing the interim park has been triggered.
• The applicant has requested a combination of parkland and cash-in-lieu for the southern
phase and cash-in-lieu of the interim park.
• Applicant has suggested a 6’ sidewalk, possibly offset a ways from the curb along
South 20th rather than a sidewalk and trail combination.
277
RECOMMENDATION:
• Given that the planning and infrastructure was already developed and approved before
the dissolution of Meadow Creek, it is unreasonable to hold Southbridge to the same
park dedication standards we would require of a startup subdivision. However, there
will be many families living there with a need for neighborhood parks.
• We never liked the design concept of the interim park but felt it was a necessary
placeholder until the Miller Park issue was resolved. As such, we think that cash-in-
lieu is probably a better value for the city than developing this ill-conceived park.
• We are generally supportive of the applicant’s proposal of parkland and cash-in-lieu,
but we think there is a need for continuing the discussion re what will constitute their
neighborhood center and how too handle the lack of street frontage for the parkland that
will be dedicated.
• We are supportive of the 6’ bike/ped sidewalk rather than a redundant parallel sidewalk
and trail.
FISCAL EFFECTS:
• The appraisal for cash-in-lieu has come in at $35,000 per acre. For the southern
parkland the dedication requirement less the parkland provided is 1.41 acres, yielding
$49,521. The 1.42 acre Interim Park cash-in-lieu would produce $49,861.
ALTERNATIVES:
• Cash-in-lieu is never an attractive alternative when there is a need for parks in the area.
This is a very difficult balance between providing needed parks for a subdivision and
dealing with the realities of reinvesting in a previously approved portion of a failed
project.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandy Dodge, Chairman, Subdivision Review Committee
