DOWL HKM has and continues to provide full development services to the West Winds Planned Unit Development (PUD) including master planning, land surveying, infrastructure design, material testing and construction administration services. The West Winds PUD is a 160-acre 800 unit mixed-use residential community that provides a wide range of housing, including apartments, townhouses, single family and senior facilities. For all eight phases of the West Winds project, the permitting, design and construction process the West winds has been under the requirements of the UDO. The duration and complexity of this project has provided extensive experience in working with City staff and the UDO regulation. .. :. - . lio v, DOWL HKM provided site development design services on the -� Bozeman Lodge project—an assisted living facility for senior citizens. DOWL HKM was involved in the early stages of the project performing a topographic survey and geotechnical investigation on the 7.3 acre site. These initial investigations were used as the basis for design of the 84,000 SF main building and 12 adjacent cottages grades and foundations. DOWL HKM worked on the master site plan by coordinating with the architect, electrical engineer, and landscape architect. From the site plan, a grading plan was developed, in addition to road, parking lot and utility design. Water, sewer, and storm mains were extended through the campus, connecting into City of Bozeman mains to service the 13 buildings. DOWL HKM also provided inspection services during the utility installation. AUTOZONE DOWL HKM was retained by the Corp office of AutoZone located in Memphis Tennessee to provide permitting and design services for the new Bozeman AutoZone store. DOWL HKM worked with City of Bozeman and AutoZone staff to permit and design the store site plan. DOWL HKM provided contractor ready civil site plans and coordinated the site plan permit and building permit. I-AN D SECTION TWO SOLUT091NIS. Similar Project Experience IDOWLHKM Proposal for Development Review Term Contract City of Bozeman Land Solutions, LLC Land Solutions planners have facilitated the review of hundreds of zoning and subdivision applications over the past 15 years. In the past two years alone we have worked on roughly 30 different applications ranging from commercial annexation and zoning requests to floodplain development permits to crew camp housing facilities. While there are commonalities across jurisdictions and the review process must always follow state law, almost every municipality and county employs slightly different procedures for different entitlements. The following are examples of recent development projects we have worked on. EAGLEs • In the Bakken region of Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan the need for employee housing has been overwhelming since 2011. Given the dormant state of the U.S. economy in recent years, the booming oil and gas industry has led to a massive influx of workers. At full buildout, the Eagles Landing Crew Camp is intended to have 345 living units housing over 700 workers, including on-site employees. The layout is like a small town with its own power substation, wastewater lagoons, central dining and meeting facilities, on-call engineer and maintenance crew. i , •-----'------------_wrt+weowaae-----'------s 77 1 Yi�� i� _ q, I �wwab"�ieWbu�.uwroMCwwwnb , _ -Y I I(y© rl NT UDfD ncv m+nuc.wu+op I ��J Gi �}tl�,) G a— ..® /1I .w,.o.«n.u..,n r ea�riwvawmaax, �g�e(yy 1— _.-. --- uu.u,ow. t i1/-_w•• v«rmuaamcw.w '!i; stb$7' '.1_ �� _--~ ¢SG•DQ ��aS- 1if iuw.nua,v.v..aevcv.cn.x !i-Fl�b SSSSSf �I 4 PHA SEI l i l�lLJ I i wa cwm V nc.euwu aw ... m.

During the height of the real estate boom of the late 2000s, Flathead County was experiencing some of the highest growth rates in the state. Although speculation was common, there was also a great demand for residential, commercial and industrial sites. Andrew Hagemeier, AICP was working as a staff planner for Flathead County at the time and the Planning Director assigned to him the Solomon Peyton, LLC neighborhood plan and zoning amendment project. The subject property was a 158-acre undeveloped tract located in the unincorporated community of Evergreen, just north of Kalispell. Despite being unincorporated, the community had urban densities and municipal-type public water and sewer. A portion of the property was located adjacent to a major arterial roadway and a rail line. The Whitefish River, its riparian zone and associated floodplain, were also located on a portion of the property. To the north and south of the property were residential neighborhoods with 7,000 square foot lots and also limited industrial uses to the east. The property was covered under a neighborhood plan that called for it to remain agricultural. The neighborhood plan had been adopted 20 years prior and the character of the area had changed substantially over time. The subject property was zoned AG-80, a district intended to preserve agricultural uses, that permitted a minimum lot size of 80 acres. However, in light of the market demand and surrounding land uses, the applicant was proposing an industrial element, a commercial element and an urban scale residential element. DEVELOPMENT REviEw FOR ► CouNty Land Solutions' contract with Richland County, MT is a yearlong contract, where development review services are provided as needed. The bulk of the work is being conducted by Joel Nelson, with oversight by Dave DeGrandpre. Subdivision review does involve statutory timelines and report deadlines, but the way we structure the workload for subdivisions, only Joel or Dave are working on a report at any given time, freeing the other to focus on other responsibilities. POLSON DEVELOPMENT ., Dave DeGrandpre is providing technical assistance to the City of Poison in an update to the City's Development Code.

LAN D SECTION TWO SOLUT[tl 'NS, ii.c Similar Project Experience Proposal for Development Review Term Contract City of Bozeman CAPABILITY TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS DOWL HKM understands the importance of schedule and budget to our clients and their projects. We also understand that the development review process has regulatory time requirements mandating their completion. Furthermore, we understand that development is a major economic driver in western Montana's economy and we must balance timeliness with a through and complete review. We have a large, experienced staff, in multiple locations, allowing for flexibility in assigning manpower to satisfy urgent project needs. DOWL HKM maintains in-house expertise specializing in many different disciplines, including site development, civil engineering, planning, environmental, water and waste water, land surveying, real estate, and even landscape architecture. Our ability to handle high-priority projects of all types is evidenced by our successful completion of thousands of projects during our 60 years of existence. The engineering elements of a Development Review Application will be reviewed by staff in the Bozeman Office of DOWL HKM. In anticipation of the continued improvement of the Bozeman economy we have hired two additional staff engineers in the Bozeman Office who will be overseen by experienced staff. In the unlikely event that the demand for engineering review exceeds the capacity of Bozeman staff resources from other western Montana offices can be used to meet schedule requirements. To stay within budget restraints project review will be completed by mid-level project engineers completing their review under the supervision and guidance of senior staff. Senior engineering staff will provide project management and quality control review of all documents. 2013 was a busy year for Land Solutions. With two planners on staff we managed multiple projects simultaneously and completed several projects across Montana and western North Dakota. At the end of 2013 Land Solutions hired Joel Nelson, a planner with nine years of Montana planning experience including three years as a county planning director. With three experienced planners now on staff we are able to take on significantly more work while providing the some high level of quality. In the event that growth continues and in order to maintain strong customer service, Land Solutions may bring on another planner toward the end of 2014 or early in 2015. With a number of projects recently concluding, we have ample capacity to facilitate the review of development applications for the City of Bozeman. Based on all of our current obligations at this time we have approximately 50% availability in 2014 and 80-90% availability in 2015. While Andrew Hagemeier, AICP, who is based in Helena, will conduct a large percentage of the project review tasks, Dave DeGrandpre, AICP and Joel Nelson are able to carry any additional load assigned by the City.

We travel to and from our clients' locations on a regular basis in order to provide excellent customer service and meet established timelines. At least once per month we already visit Bozeman while attending to other clients in other areas of the state. This will allow us to couple trips to Bozeman with existing projects, resulting in significant cost savings to the City.

While Andrew Hagemeier, AICP, who is based in Helena, will conduct a large percentage of the project review tasks, Dave DeGrandpre, AICP and Joel Nelson are able to carry any additional load assigned by the City. PROJECT MANAGEMENTf APPROACH Based on experience from other fast growing jurisdictions, we recommend the City of Bozeman contract with or pre-approve more than one consultant team to conduct development review. This would add flexibility in the event the City needs additional assistance due to unforeseen circumstances or the workload exceeds forecasts. Additionally, this would provide a competitive environment for the consultants, who would then have greater incentive to perform cost effectively and conscientiously. In terms of how DOWL HKM and Land Solutions would carry out project review, we envision the Bozeman Planning Director or Development Review Manager would provide project application materials to Dave DeGrandpre, Andrew Hagemeier and Clint Litle electronically. Due to his close proximity to Bozeman, Andrew would typically lead the review effort, conducting site visits and facilitating the Development Review Committee, Planning Board and other bodies as needed. Dave DeGrandpre and Joel Nelson would also facilitate development review efforts in order to provide efficient service. Clint Litle would focus on engineering review as needed in conjunction with the City's Engineering Department. Staff reports would be reviewed by a second planner or engineer prior to submittal for content and style. The development review process will depend on both the type of application and also its complexity. For example, a major preliminary plat application will require different steps from a conditional use permit request in accordance with the Bozeman Unified Development Code and Montana Code Annotated. Ideally we would work with a Bozeman Community SECTION FIVE LAN D Present and Projected Workload SOLUTI-4,'NS. iic Project Management/Approach Proposal for Development Review Term Contract City of Bozeman Development Department or Engineering Department staff member who would provide report templates and provide guidance on how the City has approached similar applications in the past. Working as a team will ensure past precedent is observed and also result in a smooth and efficient review process for City officials. Land Solutions' staff reports typically include several maps and graphics, summarized comments from municipal departments and other service providers, an evaluation of the project under the relevant plans, regulations and statutes, documentation of public notice and review timelines, a recommendation and other information as necessary. We try to be as concise as possible while addressing all of the relevant points so as to provide a high level of legal defensibility. Our planners and engineers have the background and knowledge to efficiently and cost effectively facilitate development review while helping the City implement its plans and helping developers to achieve their goals.
