Preliminary Plat Application
Agriculture
Of the approximately 65 acres within the project site, none is currently use for agricultural
pursuits. The property is not part of a viable farm and has been unutilized for the last several
seasons (15+years). A gravel pit has occupied portions of the project area over the last +/- 15
years. The gravel pit has been reclaimed in recent years.
No significant impacts to agriculture in the area are identified. As a consequence, no mitigation
measures are proposed. The site is within the city limits of Bozeman. The Valley West property
was previously annexed for the purpose of urban development.
Control of family pets will primarily be an issue for the homeowners association to address. It is
not expected that family pets from this development will have any adverse effect on agriculture
in the area. In addition, the City of Bozeman Animal Control will address any emergency
conflicts between animals such as pets and people.
Fences around the boundary of the property that are utilized by adjacent property owners will
remain in place. The owners of the property on where the fences lie are responsible for any
maintenance needed. Fences within the project area will be removed as part of the development.
