approval and code provisions has been satisfied with the final plan application.
SECTION 4 - CODE REQUIREMENTS REQUIRING PLAN
CORRECTIONS
A. Per Table 38.25.040-6 two accessible parking stalls are required when there are more
than 25 parking spaces. Based upon the dimensions of the existing and proposed parking it appears that more than 25 total stalls will be provided. A second accessible stall shall
be depicted on the final site plan with appropriate signs and markings. If determined to be
necessary an adequate hard surface shall be provided for the accessible parking area. The
final site plan must identify the surface type and dimensions for the accessible parking area.
B. Per Section 38.25.040.A.5 requires provision of bicycle parking. Adequate bicycle
parking to conform to the requirement needs to be shown on the final site plan.
C. Per Article 38.26 a landscaping plan is required for all site plans. The landscaping plan
must depict the required species, number of trees and shrubs, landscaping areas and
protection, and other elements of the landscape plan.
a. A landscaped island should be provided to protect the entrance to the proposed
additional trail and divide the parking areas.
b. Landscaped islands must be protected from accidental vehicle traffic. A
nonstandard curb is supported to define the area but respect the rustic character of
the area. A revised landscaping plan shall be submitted with the final site plan.
SECTION 5 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Project Name: Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan
Development Review Committee
210
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 7 of 15
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application on September 10, 17
and October 1, 2014. The DRC recommended conditional approval of the application with
the findings and conditions outlined in this report. Code provisions requiring correction were
identified and are presented in Section 4.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board reviewed the proposed expansion on April 3,
2015. No parkland is required. The RPAB recommended the City Commission approve the
proposed site plan to provide additional parking area and restroom facility.
City Commission The City Commission is scheduled for the May 4, 2015 regular agenda to conduct a public
hearing and consider the preliminary site plan with subdivision variance application.
SECTION 6 - STAFF ANALYSIS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application
materials, municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. This analysis is a summary of the completed review.
Applicable Plan Review Criteria, Section 38.19.100, BMC.
The application is a site plan and subject to the site plan review criteria. The applicant is
advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically listed as conditions 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.
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and
Director of Community Development shall consider the following:
1. Conformance to and consistency with the City’s adopted growth policy
This property is designated as Public Institutions on Figure 3-1 (Future Land Use Map) of the Bozeman Community Plan. PLI, Public Lands and Institutions, is one of the implementing
districts for the land use designation as shown in Appendix A. The proposal to provide
parking for a recreation facility complies with the description of this land use designation.
Appendix B includes a copy of the project description. A review of the future land use map and the goals and objectives of the growth policy indicates no conflicts with the growth policy.
2. Conformance to this chapter, including the cessation of any current violations
Section 38.01.080 “Compliance With Regulations Required” states that to the extent
reasonable, all City-owned land shall be subject to applicable regulations of the underlying zoning district. Development of such land shall be subject to approval by the City Commission if any variance or agency exception is requested. One variance has been
requested and is discussed below. Therefore, the City Commission will be the decision
making body on this application.
No current violations are known to exist on this site. The proposed use of the site is consistent with the allowed uses of the PLI district. The proposed site layout, as conditioned, conforms to the requirements of the municipal code. Conditions 1 and 2 address
211
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 8 of 15
demonstrating compliance with future application steps. The landscaping plan will require
some modification as outlined in Section 4.
The site was originally approved as a parking lot to support a recreational trail area by the
City Commission on November 13, 2007. It was noted in the discussion that the use of the site for recreational purposes is temporary and must remain secondary to the use of the
property for the City’s Solid Waste utility. A copy of the minutes of the City Commission
meeting on November 13, 2007 is available in the City’s Laserfiche archive. The discussion
begins on page eight. A copy is also attached to this report.
At that time, the City Commission granted several agency exemptions from development standards relating to the parking lot. As the non-standard development was approved through
the necessary process it is not considered to be in violation of the code. Since that time the
City has amended the municipal code to allow flexibility in addressing site needs. The
proposed parking expansion is using that flexibility and is discussed below in greater detail.
3. Conformance with all other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations
No conflicts have been identified. Some additional steps are required such as application for
final site plan and building permit which will be addressed as appropriate in the future. Code
requirement A addresses compliance with accessible parking requirements. A building
permit will be required for placement of the vault restroom.
4. Relationship of site plan elements to conditions both on and off the property
The proposed restroom is sited away from the road and is near the existing entrance gate. The
expanded parking area is located to the north. Stormwater facilities are located to the north
and west. There appear to be no conflicts between proposed work and the existing site plan
elements on or off the property.
5. The impact of the proposal on the existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions
Vehicular access to the project is provided from McIllhattan Road. McIllhattan Road is a
designated collector street. In this section it is a narrow gravel road with no shoulders. There
is no parking along the road. The existing and proposed parking area is elevated 3-4 feet
above the grade of the road. The proposed work will expand the parking spaces to the north of the access drive. The additional spaces will require an additional accessible parking space.
Per Code Requirement A, it will be necessary to provide an accessible hard surface and
appropriate signs to designate the accessible parking spaces. It appears the best location for
the accessible spaces is within the existing parking area close to the proposed restroom
facility. This will provide a less steep site and easier access to trails and the restroom. On-site circulation is adequate to the anticipated demands.
The additional parking will not of itself generate any additional traffic demand. It will
provide a location for users already attracted to the facility. It is not expected that any
additional trips will be generated from this project.
The City standards require that all parking areas control dust and drainage and provide for protection of landscaping features. Most development proposes to use asphalt surface and
concrete curbing to accomplish this. However, as part of the stormwater related code
amendments adopted several years ago, alternatives to asphalt and concrete curb are allowed
if approved by the City Engineer. The Director of Public Works has found that the proposed
212
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 9 of 15
grading and placement of stormwater facilities will be adequate to address drainage. The low
volume of traffic on the site and adjacency to the gravel surface of McIllhattan Road means
the graveled surface of the parking lot will control dust to a similar degree as existing
conditions. Therefore, the proposal is acceptable under municipal code.
The ability to consider alternatives to asphalt surfacing and concrete curb means that several
of the agency exemptions required by the first Snowfill parking area are not required for this
expansion. Also, striping is not required for parking surfaces which are not permanent.
Therefore, no parking lot striping is required except for the accessible spaces.
6. Pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress
Primary vehicle access to the site is provided off of McIllhattan Road. Section 38.24.090.D
requires limited access on McIllhattan Road as a collector street. The existing access to the
site meets this requirement.
McIllhattan Road is a petition road that has been amended several times. The most recent
petition is #435. At one point the roadway was known as Bohart Road. Conversation with the County Road Office indicates that the travelled way has not been verified to be located in the
route legally established by the petition. There is no safe pedestrian access to the site.
McIllhattan Road north of St. Andrews Drive is a narrow, two-lane gravel road with no
shoulders or separated path. The nearest pedestrian facility stops at least 3,200 feet south of
the entrance to this facility. There is a substantial difference in land surface elevation between the roadway and the adjacent property with a steep drop off to the west and incline
to the east. There is no viable option to extend sidewalk on the west due to grade change. On
the east the City has fenced large sections for the safety of the public to separation them from
the City’s Sanitation division facility which has been located on the property for several
decades predating any development of the Snowfill site. The fencing and grade do not leave a viable location for a pedestrian facility on the east.
The site is located approximately 3,200 feet from the end of the existing paving near St.
Andrews Drive. Therefore, although there is both legal and physical vehicle access to the site
it is not practical either financially or technically to expand the roadway to meet adopted City
standards.
The applicant has requested a variance from Section 38.24.080, Sidewalk, to defer
installation of the sidewalk until such point as the overall street is expanded and brought to
City standards. Analysis of this request is presented below.
Article 38.24 establishes certain standards for improvements of roads. The article also
includes provision and authority to determine that an existing roadway is adequate to meet the needs of a development. This is established in Section 38.24.090.B.1.b. BMC. The
Director of Public Works has found that the conditions of small trip generation by the
project, light existing use of McIllhattan Road, and disproportionately long distance to
adjacent improved City streets justifies a finding that McIllhattan Road as presently exists is
adequate to the need and no improvements are required.
213
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 10 of 15
7. Landscaping, including the enhancement of buildings, the appearance of vehicular use, open space, and pedestrian areas, and the preservation or replacement of
natural vegetation
The area of the site is part of the larger landfill property. It is a largely natural area with no artificially placed vegetation. The City Commission previously granted an agency exemption
with the initial Snowfill parking development to not require parking lot landscaping.
The current proposal includes a landscape design to comply with the requirements of Article
38.26.060, BMC, which requires a minimum of 15 points. The site is not adjacent to a
residential area. The property to the west is zoned as Agricultural Suburban under Gallatin County’s zoning program and is used for farming.
The applicant’s have proposed a small amount of hardy, drought tolerant trees to meet the
requirement for landscaping. Placement appears adequate. There is a comparatively short
overhead power line which inhibits the ability to place trees underneath it in the traditional
street tree location. For this reason it appears necessary to waive the street tree requirement and instead relocate the one required street tree to the eastern edge of the parking area where it can be safely placed. Some initial irrigation will be provided to the trees by use of
‘gatorbags’ which are a time release watering system. There is no pressurized water on the
site although there is a hand pump well. This appears a reasonable approach given the
limitations of the site. After the trees are well established the supplemental irrigation can be removed.
Section 38.26.050.C requires certain performance standards for parking lot landscaping. The
Commission previously granted agency waivers to several of these requirements to the initial
Snowfill parking area. The new area proposes to conform to the requirements. To do some a
small adjustment in the location of the 2nd gate entry is required. The gate can be brought to the west and provide the landscaped area to divide the parking surface in to increments of less than 100 feet and to provide the necessary amount of landscaped area (20 feet per
parking stall) within the parking lot. Existing entryway edging provides the balance of the
required interior landscaping.
8. Open space
Not applicable.
9. Building location and height
The PLI district has no maximum building height limit. The proposed restroom building
height is less than 10 feet to maximum roof height with a vent stack reaching 13 feet and 1
inch. The building complies. Placement is away from the roadway and to the interior of the site. The building will not be intrusive into offsite viewsheds.
10. Setbacks
The site plan shows that all required setbacks have been provided and no impermissible
encroachments are proposed. The setback from McIllhattan Road is inferred as the exact
location of the right of way is not known as discussed under Criterion 6.
11. Lighting
No lighting is required or proposed.
214
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 11 of 15
12. Provisions for utilities, including efficient public services and facilities
There are no municipal water or sewer mains within a half-mile of the site. Section
38.21.030.D requires that all development sites be serviced by municipal water and sewer
services. That same section also includes an alternative. There are places where water and sewer are not readily available. In that circumstance, rather than grant a variance which would permanently relieve the development from obligation to connect, the City can allow a
temporary non-municipal source.
The Snowfill site presently has a hand pump well. The proposed vault toilet does not require
either running water or sewer service. It will require periodic pumping. Responsibility for that will be negotiated between the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the City of Bozeman Parks Department and is beyond the scope of this report. After consideration of the criteria
applicable to the alternative provision of service the Director of Public Works has determined
that the alternative is appropriate and applicable. Therefore, no variance or agency exemption
is required.
13. Site surface drainage
The proposed drainage plan depicts how water is directed to the on-site retention pond
provided to serve the property. All waters will be kept on site.
14. Loading and unloading areas
Not applicable.
15. Grading
The site is gently sloped. The proposed development will be fit into the grade.
16. Signage
No signage is proposed. Any future project identification sign will be required to obtain a
sign permit prior to installation.
17. Screening
No screening of mechanical areas is necessary. Screening of the new parking area will be
provided by the change of grade between the parking area and McIllhattan Road.
18. Overlay district provisions
Not applicable, the site is not within an overlay district.
19. Other related matters, including relevant comment from affected parties
No public comment letters have been received at this time.
215
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 12 of 15
20. If the development includes multiple lots that are interdependent for circulation or other means of addressing requirement of this title, whether the lots are either:
Configured so that the sale of individual lots will not alter the approved
configuration or use of the property or cause the development to become nonconforming
or
The subject of reciprocal and perpetual easements or other agreements to which the
City is a party so that the sale of individual lots will not cause one or more elements of
the development to become nonconforming.
Not applicable.
21. Compliance with article 8 of chapter 10 of the Bozeman Municipal Code.
Not applicable.
22. Phasing of development
The project is proposed to be constructed in one phase. Due to grade limitations no additional phases are contemplated at this time.
Subdivision Variance Review Criteria- Section 38.35.070
One variance is requested as part of this proposed development. The variance is to defer the
installation of sidewalks required in Section 38.24.080, BMC. There is a maximum frontage
of 180 linear feet along McIllhattan Road where the sidewalk would be required for this parking facility.
Review criteria. The City of Bozeman has determined that all variances within the public
right of way will be evaluated against the subdivision review criteria. Per MCA 76-3-506, a
variance to this chapter must be based on specific variance criteria, and may not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter. The city shall not approve
subdivision variances unless it makes findings based upon the evidence presented in each
specific case that:
1. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or be injurious to other adjoining properties;
Sidewalks are required to enable the safe travel of pedestrians. Sidewalks must be continuous
or expected to be continuous in a reasonable period of time in order to be effective. The City
has established in Section 38.39.030.B.2 a requirement that sidewalks be installed within 3
years of platting of a subdivision. An extension of that period may be made on a case by case basis using criteria established in the section. One of the criteria to allow continued deferral
is whether more than 50% of the lots on a block have installed sidewalks.
In this circumstance there is no pedestrian facility for over 3,200 feet along McIllhattan
Road. The installation of a sidewalk along McIllhattan would typically occur in conjunction with the widening and paving of the road. This project is not listed on the City’s capital
improvement plan which looks forward 5 years. As noted above under Criterion 6, the exact
216
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 13 of 15
alignment and right of way boundary for McIllhattan Road is uncertain. There is no
connection to be made within a reasonable distance or time.
Placement of a sidewalk is to be done in a standard location. This location is not readily identifiable in this case. The placement of an isolated section of sidewalk without connection
in any direction for thousands of feet and without confidence in its final location will not
provide any substantive public benefit. The City remains the property owner and will not
escape the obligation due to sale as might be expected with a private property in a developed
area. Therefore, deferring installation until the road is improved will not cause detriment to the public health, safety, or general welfare, nor be injurious to adjoining properties. This
criterion has been met.
2. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the specific property involved, an undue hardship to the owner would
result if strict interpretation of this chapter is enforced;
The most recent pricing for sidewalk installation by the City is $7 a square foot. A standard
sidewalk along a collector street is 5 feet wide so installation would cost a minimum of $35
per linear foot. Given the challenges with placement due to slope along McIllhattan Road the
costs are likely to be higher. To extend a sidewalk all the way along the eastern side of
McIllhattan Road to connect to the next pedestrian facility would cost an estimated $112,000. This is substantially disproportionate to any demand resulting from a small parking facility of
fewer than 10 parking spaces. To place the sidewalk only along the frontage of the new
parking area would cost approximately $6,300 but would still not connect to any other
pedestrian facility. See discussion under variance criterion 1 above.
As discussed above, the alignment of right of way of McIllhattan Road is not assured. The
County has no schedule to resurvey the road to verify the location. There is a substantial
slope difference which varies along the length of the road where the sidewalk might be
located. The roadway expansion will be very expensive and is not scheduled on any future
work plan known at this time. The very high cost, lack of reasonable ability to connect to existing pedestrian facilities, and physical topography combine to produce an undue
hardship. This criterion has therefore been met.
3. The variance will not cause a substantial increase in public costs; and
The City will remain obligated to install the sidewalk if the variance is approved. The request
is to defer installation, not to avoid installation. Therefore, the responsibility for public costs should remain largely the same. The primary difference is that by deferring until a larger
street improvement project is undertaken the sidewalk is more likely to be placed in its
permanent location and take into account grade changes with road widening. This will likely
reduce overall public costs by not constructing a sidewalk now and then having to replace it
later.
4. The variance will not, in any manner, place the subdivision in nonconformance with any other provisions of this chapter or with the city's growth policy.
If the variance is granted, the proposed development will comply with Chapter 38, BMC.
The growth policy does encourage the development of the trail and pedestrian facility
network in Bozeman. It also include Objective G-2.1: “Ensure that development
217
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 14 of 15
requirements and standards are efficiently implemented, fairly and consistently applied,
effective, and proportionate to the concerns being addressed.”
The requested variance is to timing to allow the sidewalk facility to be installed at a future time when there are connecting facilities and it can be placed in the correct location. As
discussed in variance criterion 2 there are deficiencies in the McIllhattan Road right of way
and lack of connection which would make the installation of a sidewalk inefficient and
undesirable at this time. A deferral but not complete waiver of sidewalk installation is a
balance appropriate to meet the variance criteria and Objective G-2.1 of the growth policy. Therefore, this variance does not place the project in nonconformance and the criterion is
met.
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned “PLI” (Public Lands and Institutions District). The intent of the PLI residential high density district is established by Section 38.13.010. - Intent.
“The intent of the PLI public lands and institutions district is to provide for major public
and quasi-public uses outside of other districts. Not all public and quasi-public uses need
to be classified PLI. Some may fit within another district, however larger areas will be designated PLI.”
As this property is designated as Public Institutions in the Bozeman Community Plan
(Growth Policy), the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the PLI district.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Public Institutions” in the Bozeman Community Plan. The Plan indicates that “A variety of activities are undertaken in this land use classification. Schools are a dominant use including Montana State University. Other typical uses are
libraries, fire stations, and publicly operated utilities. A significant portion of Bozeman’s
employment occurs within this category.”
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description
A Site Plan Application for the expansion of an existing parking area at the Snowfill recreation site. The property is a portion of the Landfill which has temporarily been
developed with trails and fencing for use as a dog park.
Project Background
The City purchased the site for landfill purposes in the early 1970’s. McIllhattan Road was established by petition and has been amended by petition several times. The changes in petition and the somewhat informal nature of road petitions mean that the exact legal location
of the McIllhattan Road right of way may not match the physical road location.
218
Z15069, Staff Report for Snowfill Parking Lot Expansion Site Plan Page 15 of 15
The City operated the landfill for several decades and continues to use the site for its
Sanitation shop and related uses. The portion of the landfill site used for the Snowfill facility
was not actively used for waste disposal. The PROST plan recognizes that the Snowfill site is
located within the Landfill property.
The City Commission approved the first parking area at Snowfill in 2007.
APPENDIX C – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
A Site Plan application was submitted on March 17, 2015. The application was reviewed by
the DRC on April 1, 2015. Public notice for this application was posted on site on April 9,
2015. Publication in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle was done on April 12th and 19th, 2015.
Public notice was sent to all property owners of record within 200 feet of the subject property
via first class mail, on April 10, 2015.
As of the writing of this report, no public comments have been received.

4. See site plan.
5. See site plan.
6. See site plan.
7. Only overhead power and a well exist on-site.
8. There are no holding ponds, streams, irrigation ditches, watercourses, water bodies, or
wetlands. Additionally, the site is not in a floodplain.
9. See site plan.
10. There are no named drainageways and no known downstream constrictions.
11. There are no significant rock outcroppings or other significant topographic features.
12. No sidewalks, walkways, or bikeways are present on site.
13. The vault toilet will be accessible and be accessed by a compacted fines path with a grade
within accessible standards and one parking space marked for use by persons with disabilities.

19. Landscaping is not required and a landscape plan will not be submitted.
20. Snowfill Recreation Area is covered with non-native pasture grasses and no shrubs or trees
exceed 2.5 inches.
21. See site plan.
22. See Map for City limit boundaries, 38.16.060 says that PLI matches the yards of an adjacent
district. Adjacent property is unannexed and R1 should be applied.
23. Adjacent property is unannexed in Gallatin County.
24. At this time no inventory of historical or cultural sites has been completed and none are

25. Approximately two miles of public trail are accessed from the parking area.
26. There is no increase in residential density or need to provide parkland.
27. No affordable housing is required or will be provided.
D. Landscape Plans
We request a waiver of requirements to landscape the parking area. This area was previously a
wheat field and no shrubs or trees were growing in the area. The wheat field was reseeded to a
non-native grass pasture mix. We propose replanting any disturbed areas around the new parking
area and vault toilet with this same grass pasture mix. The only water on site is a hand pump and
it would be very difficult and a constant maintenance problem to sustain landscape plantings at
this location.
