Thanks, Kevin Jacobsen Copy to: File, Design Team Signed: James Nickelson for Kevin Jacobsen______ Department of Community Development: 1. The preliminary plat, the certificate of dedication for the preliminary plat and the development review application must include the legal description for the entirety of the property, not just Phases 1 and 2. Per City of Bozeman requirements any division of land or land so divided that it creates one or more parcels containing less than 160 acres that cannot be described as a one-quarter aliquot part of a United States government section, exclusive of public roadways, is intended that the title to or possession of the parcels may be sold, rented, leased or otherwise conveyed. Every plat of subdivision which creates one or more parcels containing less than 160 acres that cannot be described as a one-quarter aliquot part of a United States government section must include all portions of the original tract of record. The lot not proposed to be subdivided as Phase 1 or Phase 2 may be platted as a restricted lot subject to further subdivision review. See attached administrative policy. All references to the legal description shall be updated throughout the application. Response: The Preliminary Plat has been updated to reflect/clarify all the above noted items. All other locations noting the legal description have been updated as well. 2. The preliminary plat or other subdivision exhibits must not show future phases that are not proposed to be platted at this time. This area proposed for future phases shall be platted as a restricted lot subject to further subdivision review. Response: The remainder lots, R1 and R2, have been clarified on the preliminary plat. Please see note 1 on the first Conditions of Approval Sheet in regards to the remainder lots. 3. The platting certificate does not include the entirety of the property that is to be subdivided. The certificate shall be updated to reflect all of Tract 1 and Tract 2A of Certificates of Survey No’s 1005B and 1005C that are required to be part of this subdivision per item 1 above. Response: See updated preliminary platting certificate in Section 13. 4. The application states in the pre-application comments that no Parkland is required as part of the subdivision. Parkland is required for the subdivision per Bozeman Municipal Code and must be detailed and accounted for in the application. If previous parkland credit is proposed for use with this subdivision the application must explicitly clarify who holds title to those lands, who maintains them, and how much parkland exists in total, how much of the parkland was allocated to previous subdivisions and how much is proposed for use with this subdivision. Response: A total of up to 62 lots (up to 67 units) is proposed with Phases 1 (29 units) and Phase 2 (38 units). This equates to a required parkland dedication amount of 2.01 acres. 5.1 acres is proposed to be added to the Bronken Park/Baxter Creek Natural Area with Phase 1. This covers the requirement for both Phases 1 and 2 and adds to the overall parkland credit for the Valley West PUD. Please see the attached exhibit as well as Section 1h in the Preliminary PUD submittal materials for a more detailed description of how parkland and open space together exceed the required performance points for the overall PUD. The applicant will work with the Valley West HOA and the City to clean up the deed paperwork for previous phases. 5. Per Section 38.41.060.A.1.d a wetland delineation shall be provided for all wetlands on the property in compliance with the requirements of Section 38.30.030. Sheet EX.A does not appear to meet the standards required for a formal wetland delineation, nor can staff scale the exhibit provided. The wetland boundaries shall be shown on the preliminary plat per code. Per ARM 24.183.11041 that exhibit should be placed on the conditions of approval sheet(s). Response: Vaughn Environmental met with planning staff on February 20, 2015 and discussed requirements and have updated the surface water section number 17 to satisfy requirements. 6. Per Section 38.41.060.A.3 the application is required to provide groundwater information. This information was not submitted. Response: The groundwater section number 19 has been updated to better address the requirements of this section. 7. Per Section 38.41.060.A.5.b the application is required to describe measures to preserve trees and critical plant communities. This information was not submitted. Response: The vegetation section number 21 has been updated to better address the requirements of this section. 8. Per Section 38.41.060.A.6 the application is required to provide information related to wildlife. Many of the required items were not provided including a critical areas map, description of pets/human activity, description of public access, a description of protective measures proposed and written documentation from Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks that includes the information required in three subcategories. Response: The wildlife section number 22 has been updated to better address the requirements of this section. 9. The public utilities are not shown as meeting the required minimum distances from the rights of way lines. Response: We met with Bob Murray on February 19, 2015 and discussed requirements and have updated the typical section and preliminary plat for the Woonerfs to satisfy requirements. The asphalt was widened 2 feet to allow the water and sewer mains to shift 2 feet in order to provide a minimum 10 feet from the right- of-way line.
