Subject: Proposed Flanders Mill Subdivision, W'h of Section 3, T2S, R5E, Bozeman, MT (#13067)
Dear Mr. Hausauer:
Please reference your letter dated January 28, 2014, concerning the subject development.
We would expect that 282 single family housing units with two multi-family lots would generate the following
students:
♦ Pre-K-5 69 Student
♦ 6-8 35 Student
♦ 9-12 45 Student
As of this date, the proposed development will be in the Meadowlark Elementary School, Chief Joseph
Middle School and Bozeman High School attendance areas. Population growth and demographic shifts in
the future may necessitate boundary realignments to existing schools which could modify the designated
attending schools. Similarly, if a designated school attendance area's student population exceeds the
school's capacity; attendance at an alternate school may be required.
Infrastructure, such as sidewalks, should be constructed for the entire project irrespective of when actual
homes are developed to provide a Safe Route to School pathway for students to safely traverse the
developed and existing roadways. Should the development require students to cross a major thoroughfare,
then a crosswalk with blinking caution lights should be considered.
Our existing bus system can accommodate the estimated number of additional students. Please let us know
if there are any changes to the proposed development as this could modify the above student projections.
Sin erel',
Kevin R. Barre
