RE: Major Subdivision for Flanders Mill LLC; Flanders Mill Subdivision Phases 1 - 7;
Variance Request for LOS at Durston & Ferguson (13067.3)
Dear Department of Community Development,
The following variance request is from Section 38.24.060.B.4 of the Bozeman Municipal Code
having to do with level of service (LOS) requirements for Arterial and Collector Street
Intersections. This section would make all of Ferguson Avenue required to be constructed for
final plat approval of Phase 1. The traffic impact study for this subdivision indicated the LOS at
Durston and Ferguson is currently below a LOC C, but with the construction of Ferguson
Avenue from Oak to Baxter this LOS would improve to meet the code requirement.
Having to construct all of Ferguson for this half mile is too large of a financial burden to be
imposed on Phase 1 of the subdivision, and the approval of this variance would allow the
portions of Ferguson Avenue associated with Phases 4 and 5 of the subdivision to be constructed
with the construction of the associated phase.
If you have any questions or need any further information on this request, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Chandler, P.E., P.L.S.
