Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 2
PROPOSAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The property owner and applicant, Mark Warnick, is proposing to annex the 2.29-acre subject property to
the corporate limits of the City of Bozeman and to establish an initial municipal zoning designation of R-3
(Residential Medium Density District). The purpose of the annexation and zone map amendment request
is to extend municipal water and sanitary sewer infrastructure to the property and obtain public services
(i.e., police and fire) in order to develop at urban densities as outlined in the Bozeman 2020 Community
Plan. The subject property is currently used for residential and pasture uses, and contains a residence and
some outbuildings.
ZONING DESIGNATION & LAND USES
As previously noted, the subject property currently has a county zoning designation of A-S (Agricultural
Suburban District), but the applicants are proposing a Zone Map Amendment to establish an initial
municipal zoning designation of 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.
The following land uses and zoning are adjacent to the subject property:
North: Baxter Meadows development; annexed and zoned R-1 (Residential Single-Household, Low
Density District)
South: Agricultural uses; unannexed and zoned County A-S (Agricultural Suburban District)
East: Baxter Meadows development; annexed and zoned R-1 (Residential Single-Household, Low
Density District)
West: Large lot residential uses; unannexed and zoned County A-S (Agricultural Suburban District)
GROWTH POLICY DESIGNATION
The subject property and all of the surrounding property currently have a land use designation of
Residential. This designation is described as follows:
Residential. This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density living
quarters. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low intensity
home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. The residential designation also
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. It is expected that areas of higher density housing would be likely to be
located in proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the broadest range of feasible
transportation options for the greatest number of individuals and support businesses within
commercial centers. Low density areas should have an average minimum density of six units per
net acre. Medium density areas should have an average minimum density of twelve units per net
acre. High density areas should have an average minimum density of eighteen units per net acre. A
variety of housing types should be blended to achieve the desired density with large areas of single
181
Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 3
type housing being discouraged. In limited instances the strong presence of constraints and natural
features such as floodplains may cause an area to be designated for development at a lower density
than normally expected within this classification.
All residential housing should be arranged with consideration given to the existing character of
adjacent development, any natural constraints such as steep slopes, and in a fashion which
advances the overall goals of the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. The residential designation is
intended to provide the principal locations for additional housing within the Planning Area.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Resolution No. 3907 Goals
Goal 1: It shall be the goal of the City of Bozeman to encourage annexations of land
contiguous to the City.
The property in question is contiguous to City limits on the north and east boundaries.
Goal 2: The City shall seek to annex all areas that are totally surrounded by the City,
without regard to parcel size.
The 2.29-acre subject property is not totally surrounded by the City; however as more
properties in this area annex to the City, the subject property will likely become more
contiguous and possibly wholly surrounded.
Goal 3: The City shall seek to annex all property currently contracting with the City for
services such as water, sanitary sewer and/or fire protection.
The applicant is not currently contracting with the City for any services. The applicant does
have a need to contract with the City for municipal services to develop the property at
residential urban densities.
Goal 4: It shall be the goal of the City of Bozeman to require annexation of all land
proposed for development lying within the service boundary of the existing sewer
system as depicted in the Bozeman Growth Policy, and to encourage annexations
within the urban growth area identified in the Bozeman Growth Policy.
The subject property lies within the 20-year sewer service boundary as depicted in the
newly adopted 2006 Bozeman Wastewater Facilities Plan. The Bozeman 2020 Community
Plan identifies the subject property as lying within the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan’s
planning boundary (Figure 6-2).
Resolution No. 3907 Policies
Policy 1: Annexations shall include dedication of all easements, rights-of-way for collector
and arterial streets, water rights, and waivers of right-to-protest against the creation
of improvement districts necessary to provide the essential services for future
development of the city.
The recommended terms of annexation include the provision of public street and utility
easements for Baxter Lane. Further, the applicant is on notice that upon subsequent
development of the property, Baxter Lane will need to be improved to one-half of a minor
arterial standard across the property frontage. The terms of annexation also include
182
Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 4
execution of waivers of right to protest against the creation of special improvement
districts for the following:
A. Street improvements including but not limited to paving, curb/gutter, sidewalk and
storm drainage facilities for Baxter Lane.
B. Street improvements including but not limited to paving, curb/gutter, sidewalk and
storm drainage facilities for Harper Puckett Road/Cottonwood Road.
C. Signalization improvements for the intersection of Baxter Lane and Harper Puckett
Road/Cottonwood Road.
D. Service area trunk sewer and water main improvements per the latest adopted
water and wastewater facility plans of the City of Bozeman.
Policy 2: Issues pertaining to master planning and zoning shall be addressed in conjunction
with the application for annexation.
a. The initial application for annexation shall be in conformance with the
current Bozeman Growth Policy. If a Growth Policy Amendment is
necessary to accommodate anticipated uses, said amendment process may
be initiated by the applicant and conducted concurrently with the
processing for annexation.
The property is currently designed Residential in the Bozeman 2020 Community
Plan. This annexation, and the proposed R-3 zoning (#Z-07010), would be in
compliance with this designation.
b. Initial zoning classifications of the property to be annexed shall be
determined by the City Commission, in compliance with the Bozeman
Growth Policy and upon a recommendation of the City Zoning Commission,
prior to final annexation approval.
The applicant has applied for a Zone Map Amendment (#Z-07010) to establish an
initial municipal zoning designation of R-3 (Residential Medium Density District).
Staff and the Development Review Committee recommended approval of the R-3
request. The Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the Zone Map
Amendment application on Tuesday, March 6, 2007, and voted 3-0 to recommend
approval of the requested zoning.
c. The applicant may indicate his or her preferred zoning classification as part
of the annexation application.
The applicant and owner have indicated that they prefer an R-3 zoning designation.
Policy 3: Fees for Annexation procedures shall be established by the City Commission. No
fee will be charged for any City-initiated annexation.
The appropriate review fees accompanied the application.
Policy 4: It shall be the general policy of the City that annexations will not be approved
where unpaved county roads will be the most commonly used route to gain access
to the property.
The property proposed for annexation fronts Baxter Lane which is a paved Minor Arterial.
The applicants will be required to annex the existing Baxter Lane right-of-way adjacent to
the subject property with this application. The applicants will be responsible for installing
183
Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 5
any facilities required to provide full municipal services to the property in accordance with
the City of Bozeman’s facility plans and all City policies that may be in effect at the time of
development.
Policy 5: Prior to annexation of property, it shall be the policy of the City of Bozeman to
acquire usable water rights, or an appropriate fee in lieu thereof, equal to the
average annual diversion requirement necessary to provide the anticipated average
annual consumption of water by residents and/or users of the property when fully
developed on the basis of the zoning designation(s). The fee may be used to
acquire water rights or for improvements to the water system which would create
additional water supply capacity. This policy may be subject to the following
exceptions:
The subject property is less than 10 acres in size. Therefore, the water rights must be
provided prior to annexation of the property.
a. For any annexation in excess of ten acres, it shall be carried out prior to final
plat approval, final site plan approval or the issuance of any building
permits, whichever occurs first, provided that the applicant executes a
promissory note or other appropriate document acceptable to the City.
This policy is not applicable to this annexation.
b. For any annexation or portion thereof proposed for use as a church as that
term is defined in the Bozeman zoning ordinance, the R-1, Residential
Single-Family, Low Density District shall be used in place of the property’s
zoning designation for calculating the water requirement. If the use
changes from a church at any time in the future, the owner of the property
will enter into a separate agreement providing that, at the time of the
change, the owner or successor shall supply any additional water rights or
fees which might be due, based on the actual zoning designation at the time
of the change.
This policy is not applicable to this annexation.
Policy 6: Infrastructure and emergency services for an area proposed for annexation will be
reviewed for the health, safety and welfare of the public. If it is found that adequate
services cannot be provided to ensure public health, safety and welfare, it shall be
the general policy of the City to require the applicant to provide a written plan for
accommodations of these services, or not approve the annexation. Additionally,
annexation proposals that would use up infrastructure capacity already reserved for
properties lying either within undeveloped portions of the City limits or lying
outside the City limits but within the identified sewer or water service area
boundaries, shall generally not apply.
The DRC has found that adequate services can be provided to the subject property. The
Annexation Agreement will contain provisions that discuss the developer’s responsibility
for street, water and sewer improvements.
Specifically, the existing 12” water main stub in Baxter Lane must be extended to the west
property boundary and looped. In addition, the existing “sewer service and utility
easement” abutting the northeast corner of the property must be released and reconveyed
and a new City standard ‘Water & Sewer Pipeline Access Easement and Agreement’
184
Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 6
granted prior to approval of any publicly maintained infrastructure proposed in the
easement. Any existing private utilities must be removed from the easement prior to
acceptance of any newly constructed public infrastructure. If the Grantor is not willing to
release and reconvey the existing easement then public utilities will not be allowed to
occupy that ground. If this were to happen, water main looping would need to occur
within an existing R/W, a Public Street and Utility Easement, and/or a separate Water
Pipeline Access Easement and Agreement obtained from neighboring property owners.
Furthermore, a 36” diameter trunk sewer main would be required in the master-planned
location within Baxter Lane in accordance with the current Wastewater Facilities Plan.
Policy 7: It shall be the general policy of the City of Bozeman to require annexation of any
contiguous property for which city services are requested or for which city services
are currently being contracted.
No City services are currently being contracted. With development of the property,
municipal infrastructure will be extended to the site by the developer for the purpose of
developing the property at urban residential densities. The terms of annexation specify that
the existing structures will be required to connect to City water and sewer services upon
annexation and the availability of services. The applicant will be responsible for installing
any facilities required to provide full municipal services to the property in accordance with
the City of Bozeman’s infrastructure master plans and all City policies that may be in effect
at the time of development.
Policy 8: The annexation application shall be accompanied by mapping to meet the
requirements of the Director of Public Service.
Mapping to meet the requirements of the Director of Public Service must be provided with
the Annexation Agreement. Typically, this includes an 18-inch x 24-inch mylar map, a
reduced 8½-inch by 11 or 14-inch annexation map exhibit, and a digital copy containing
the metes and bounds legal description of said property. Mapping requirements are
addressed in the terms of annexation.
Policy 9: It shall be the policy of the City of Bozeman to assess a system
development/impact fee in accordance with Chapter 3.24, Bozeman Municipal
Code, and in accordance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and other policies as
they are developed.
The terms of annexation require the existing home, and any other structures that would
normally be connected to water and sewer services, to be either removed from the
property or to be connected to municipal water and sewer upon annexation and availability
of services. Water and sewer impact fees will be required from the landowners or
successors upon connection. The landowners or successors must pay all street and fire
impact fees for any existing structures upon annexation.
At the time of any further development on the properties, the land owners or their
successors shall pay all additional impact fees required by Chapter 3.24, Bozeman
Municipal Code.
Policy 10: Public notice requirements shall be in compliance with Montana Code Annotated.
In addition, notice shall be posted in at least one conspicuous location on the site
in question, and mailed to all owners of real property of record within 200 feet of the
site in question using the last declared county real estate tax records, not more than
185
Warnick-Baxter Annexation Staff Report, #A-07002 7
45 days nor less than 15 days prior to the scheduled action to approve or deny the
annexation by the City Commission, specifying the date, time and place the
annexation will be considered by the City Commission. The notice shall contain
the materials specified by Section 18.76.020.A, BMC. In addition, where a
commonly identifiable street address is not visible on the property to be annexed,
the notice shall provide a map of the area in question so as to indicate its general
location and proximity to surrounding properties.
Notices of the public hearing have been sent and posted on the site as set forth under this
policy.
Policy 11: Annexation agreements shall be executed and returned to the City within 60 days of
distribution of the annexation agreement, unless another time period is specifically
identified by the City Commission.
This policy is specified in the recommended terms of annexation.
Policy 12: When possible, the use of Part 46 annexations is preferred.
This application is being processed as a Part 46 annexation.

Warnick Baxter Property
Annexation Application
4555 Baxter Lane - Bozeman
January 2007
Annexation Checklist
A. Annexation Goals
1. Is the property contiguous to the City of Bozeman?
Yes, the property is contiguous to the City, sharing its eastern and northern property
boundaries with the existing City limit boundaries (Baxter Meadows Phase III).
2. Is the property wholly surrounded by the City of Bozeman?
No, the 2.29-acre subject property is not totally surrounded by the City as the southern
and western property lines border unannexed lands and road rights-of-way; however, as
more properties in this area annex to the City Limits, the subject property will likely
become more contiguous and may eventually become surrounded.
3. Is the property currently contracting with the City for municipal services such as
water, sanitary sewer and or fire protection?
No, the property is not currently contracting with the City for municipal services.
4. Does the property lie within the services boundary of the existing sewer system as
depicted in the City’s growth policy?
Yes, the property is located within the 2020 Plan urban growth area. Commission
Resolution 3907 states that a goal of the City is to encourage annexations within the
urban growth area. The property also falls within the Study Area Boundary of the new
draft Bozeman Wastewater Facility Plan which states: “In general, the study area is
conducive of development which can make use of central wastewater facilities” (2-2).
Note that the property does not fall within the Capital Facilities Overlay District.
B. Annexation Policies
1. Is the property owner willing to dedicate needed easements and/or right-of-way for
collector and arterial streets?
Yes, the property owner will dedicate the needed rights-of-way and easements necessary
for Baxter Lane, a minor arterial street.
2. Is the property owner willing to sign waivers of right to protest the creation of
future Special Improvement Districts to provide the essential services for the future
development of the city?
Yes, the owner is willing to sign said waivers.
194
3. Is the property owner willing to transfer usable water rights, or an appropriate fee
in-lieu thereof, to serve the expected population of the land when fully developed?
Yes, the owner is willing to transfer usable water rights to serve the expected population
of the land when fully developed. Since the property is less than 10 acres, the owners
expect to pay with final annexation.
4. Does the desired future development of the subject property conform to the City’s
growth policy?
Yes, the desired future development of the subject property conforms to the
“Residential” land use designation of the property as indicated in the Bozeman 2020
Community Plan.
5. The property will need to be rezoned with an initial urban zoning designation. Is a
zoning map amendment application included with this application?
Yes, a zone map amendment application was submitted in conjunction with this
application. The proposed zoning designation is R3 (Residential Medium Density
District).
6. Do unpaved county roads comprise the most commonly used route to gain access
to the property?
No, the existing access road, East Baxter Lane, is paved.
7. If it is found that adequate services cannot be provided to ensure public health,
safety and welfare, has the property owner provided a written plan for the
accommodation of these services?
All findings to date have not identified any conflict with the provision of public health,
safety and welfare. In the event that such conflict occurs, the property owner would
submit a written statement to accommodate such provisions.
8. Does the property owner acknowledge that the City of Bozeman assesses a system
development/impact fee and agrees to pay any applicable development/impact fees
in accordance with Chapter 3.24 of the Bozeman Municipal Code?
Yes, the owner acknowledges the City assessments and agrees to pay any applicable
fees.

The property is not currently used for agriculture.
195
2. Number of residential units existing on the property.
There is currently one residential home with accessory buildings located on the property.
3. Number and type of commercial structures existing on the property.
There are no commercial structures on the property.

systems, wells, etc.)
Existing on-site utilities and facilities include water (three on-site wells), septic, gas,
telephone and electric that serve the existing residential and accessory structures.
7. Any additional information you feel would assist in the review of this application.
As previously noted, the 2020 Plan designates this area as “Residential.” Annexation of
the subject property into the City of Bozeman would be in agreement with the long-term
planning goals of the City and will provide for appropriate residential development to
serve the needs of the growing Bozeman population at the northwest quadrant of the
existing City boundary.
D. Mapping Requirements
All required mapping information is contained in the attached exhibits. The following
responses address the checklist items marked “No” or “N/A.”
6. Boundaries of proposed zoning (if more than one designation being requested) well
defined.
Only one zoning designation (R3) is being requested.
10. Existing on-site streets and street rights-of-way.
