EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
There are no unresolved issues.
Project Summary
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application is proposed to allow the construction of 21,053 sq. ft. multi-tenant building with on-premise sales and consumption of alcohol, associated parking and related site improvements on the
northwest corner of Resort Drive and Huffine Lane. The use is allowed in the B-2
(Community Commercial District) zoning district with approval of a CUP by the City
Commission. The property is located within the West Main Street Entryway Corridor Overlay District.
The Ferguson Farm, formerly named Spring Creek Village Resort, received master site plan
approval in January 2015. The Market at Ferguson Farm is a freestanding building located
within The Ferguson Farm master site plan. This commercial space will offer a full beverage
liquor license (with no gaming) for merchants that lease space within the building. Food and beverage businesses will be able to share the seating accommodations throughout the Market property: ground floor interior common area, ground floor exterior seating and seating on the
315
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 2 of 22
covered garden deck on the roof of the Market building. The alcohol will only be served
within the serving spaces of the building, rooftop deck, and outdoor patio as shown on the
submitted floor plans.
Businesses will vary inside the Market with the theme of implementing a farmer's market "type" setting. This will include, but are not limited to: coffee roasters, butcher, baker, fresh
seafood store, cheese shop, wine bar and shop, confectionary and desserts and a variety of
individually owned and operated restaurants and some retailers. All vendors will have the
availability to serve alcoholic beverages inside their leased space, in the shared common
areas on the ground floor (interior and exterior) and the non - food garden deck on the roof of the building.
On May 13, 2015, the Design Review Board found the project site and building design in
conformance with the Entryway Corridor Overlay District review criteria and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the project to the City Commission. The
Development Review Committee at their May 20, 2015 meeting voted unanimously to recommend approval of the application with the conditions and code provisions identified in
this report.
No public comments have been received for this application.
Alternatives
1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable CUP and COA criteria contained within the staff report;
4. Open and continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to Staff
or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items.

under any conditional use listed in this title shall apply and be adhered to by the owner
of the land, successor or assigns.
g) Section 38.19.110.I BMC describes the process for termination/revocation of a
conditional use permit approval:
1. Conditional use permits are approved based on an analysis of current local
circumstances and regulatory requirements. Over time these things may change
and the use may no longer be appropriate to a location. A conditional use permit will be considered as terminated and of no further effect if:
325
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 12 of 22
a. After having been commenced, the approved use is not actively
conducted on the site for a period of two continuous calendar years;
b. Final zoning approval to reuse the property for another principal or
conditional use is granted; c. The use or development of the site is not begun within the time limits
of the final site plan approval in 38.19.120
2. A conditional use which has terminated may be reestablished on a site by either,
the review and approval of a new conditional use permit application, or a
determination by the planning director that the local circumstances and regulatory requirements are essentially the same as at the time of the original approval. A
denial of renewal by the planning director may not be appealed. If the planning
director determines that the conditional use permit may be renewed on a site then
any conditions of approval of the original conditional use permit are also
renewed. 3. If activity begins for which a conditional use permit has been given final
approval, all activities must comply with any conditions of approval or code
requirements. Should there be a failure to maintain compliance the city may
revoke the approval through the procedures outlined in section 38.34.160
SECTION 4 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Project Name: The Market at Ferguson Farm CUP/COA
File: Z15101
The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the conditional use permit application
on May 5, 13, and 20, 2015 and completed the review with a recommendation of conditional
approval on May 20, 2015.
On May 13, 2015, the Design Review Board found the project site and building design in conformance with the entryway corridor review criteria and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project to the City Commission. The video of the Design Review Board may be
reviewed at the following web link:
http://media.avcaptureall.com/session.html?sessionid=4ae2f6fc-fdb2-48e6-af62-f362fbff15bb.
The City Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing and review the application at their June 15, 2015 meeting.
SECTION 5 - 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.
Applicable Plan Review Criteria, Section 38.19.100, BMC.
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 City
Commission shall consider the following:
326
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 13 of 22
1. Conformance to and consistency with the City’s adopted growth policy
The development proposal is in conformance with the Bozeman Community Plan, including
the Community Commercial Mixed Use land use classification identified for this property in
the City’s adopted Growth Policy. A broad range of functions can be found within this land use classification, including retail, education, professional and personal service. See also
Appendix A.
2. Conformance to this chapter, including the cessation of any current violations
There are no current violations existing on the subject property. 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. The proposed site plan is consistent with the
approved Spring Creek Village Resort Master Site Plan, Z14309)
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 plan and building permit which will be addressed as appropriate in the future. The plans
will be further evaluated against the requirements of the International Building Code at the
time application is made for a building permit. Condition No. 1 requires full compliance
with all applicable code requirements.
4. Relationship of site plan elements to conditions both on and off the property
The proposed site plan application is in compliance with the approved master site plan. The
street, lot layout, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, and parking have been extensively
analyzed by the applicant and the City through previous formal review to determine the
correct location and alignment of streets. These have been officially reviewed and approved
as part of the corresponding subdivision approval. No changes to the previously approved master site design are proposed.
5. The impact of the proposal on the existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions
The Spring Creek Village Resort Master Site Plan was approved with an overall parking and
circulation plan. There are no changes to that plan proposed with this application. The master site plan approved shared (joint use) parking areas for the various uses and shared
parking and public access easements are in place. The calculated parking and approved
parking reduction deviation was approved with the anticipated use of the Ferguson Farm
Market. Block 1 parking calculations for the Ferguson Farm Market included the following
table:
327
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 14 of 22
This shared parking configuration will provide more than adequate parking for the Market
use. Spring Creek Village/Ferguson Farms includes adequate pedestrian connections across
the entire Master Site Plan that will provide safe access to parking areas.
6. Pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress
As part of the Master Site Plan, vehicular ingress and egress was reviewed and approved by the Montana Department of Transportation and City of Bozeman Engineering Department. A
combination of five foot sidewalks and a 10 foot wide asphalt pathway are proposed within
the development and around the perimeter of the subdivision. The sidewalks in the
commercial center, adjacent to Lots 1 and 4 will have a more commercial feeling with wider
sidewalks and trees in tree grates. The concrete sidewalk will extend from back of curb to the lot line. The 10 foot asphalt shared use pathway will be extended along Huffine Lane. As part
of the subdivision approval, the applicant has agreed to construct this shared use pathway
east to Ferguson Road, (across their adjacent lot), as recommended by the Pedestrian and
Traffic Safety Committee.
328
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 15 of 22
Pedestrian issues as related to the Design Objectives Plan are also addressed under Chapter 2,
H of the Design Objectives Plan (Entryway Overlay District Review Criteria) review later in
this report.
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 overall landscaping plan was approved through the Master Site Plan. Additional
landscaping around the building pad shall meet the minimum requirements. Code provision
requirement c requires additional landscaping to meet landscaping plan requirements with the final plan application.
8. Open space
This is a commercial site plan development. No residential development is proposed,
therefore, no open space is required or proposed.
9. Building location and height
The building envelopes for both the master site plan conform to required setbacks and the
setback areas are proposed to be landscaped. The proposed height of the building complies
with the district restrictions.
10. Setbacks
The proposal complies with all applicable setbacks.
11. Lighting
There is no lighting proposed at this time. Section 38.23.150 BMC requires a lighting plan
for all on-site lighting including all building mounted lights and must be included in the final
site plan submittal. Code provision c is provided to address this issue.
12. Provisions for utilities, including efficient public services and facilities
The site is fully served by public and private utilities. City sewer and water connections are
proposed to the mains located on the north side of the property connecting to Boardwalk
Avenue and Resort Drive. Private utilities (electric, gas, phone/data) are provided and
available within the master site plan. All final utility locations will be reviewed with the final
plan application.
13. Site surface drainage
There are no proposed changes to the site surface drainage or stormwater control. The master
site plan includes stormwater management for all building pads. The stormwater system has
been constructed to serve this building. The City Engineering Department will review all
final drainage calculations with the final plan to assure that adequate capacity is provided by the master plan facilities.
14. Loading and unloading areas
There are no formal loading or unloading areas required for the proposed use. Delivery
access to the building will be provided by the perimeter streets and interior drive aisles as
depicted on the approved master site plan.
329
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 16 of 22
15. Grading
Due to the relative flat nature of the existing building pad and parking area, substantial
grading is not anticipated to accommodate the project. All perimeter streets are currently
installed.
16. Signage
No specific signage was detailed or requested as part of this CUP application. All new
signage shall require a sign permit. All signage must conform to the Ferguson Farm
Comprehensive Signage Plan. An individual comprehensive signage plan is required to be
approved for this specific building prior to the issuance of any individual sign permits for this building, per Section 38.28.090 BMC.
17. Screening
All dumpsters require a trash enclosure with the location subject to review and approval by
the City Sanitation Division. The code requires all mechanical equipment locations and
screening methods to be shown on the final plans and buildings elevations, and that they be properly screened with physical/opaque screening and/or be integrated into the building.
18. Overlay district provisions
The site is located in the West Main Street Entryway Corridor Overlay District. Analysis of
these issues is presented below.
19. Other related matters, including relevant comment from affected parties
As of the writing of this report, no public comment has been received in response to the
noticing of the project.
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.
Numerous shared parking, access and utility easements are proposed and are being reviewed
as part of the corresponding subdivision. The master site plan includes reciprocal parking
and access across the development.
21. Compliance with article 8 of chapter 10 of the Bozeman Municipal Code.
Not applicable.
22. Phasing of development
Not applicable.
330

Applicable Conditional Use Permit Review Criteria, Section 38.19.100, BMC
E. In addition to the review criteria of section 38.19.100, the review authority shall, in
approving a conditional use permit, determine favorably as follows:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate such use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate to properly relate such use with the land and uses in the vicinity;
The site is adequate in size and topography to accommodate the proposed use. The site is
planned for commercial uses. The master site plan was approved with this building pad location designated for the market/multitenant use proposed in this application. There is
adequate parking and pedestrian circulation to parking areas within the Ferguson Farm
Master Site Plan to accommodate this use. Staff incorporates the plan review findings
presented above in Section 38.19.100 as supporting evidence.
2. That the proposed use will have no material adverse effect upon the abutting property. Persons objecting to the recommendations of review bodies carry the burden of proof;
Staff has not identified any hazards to the public health and safety and finds that the
application generally complies with the Unified Development Code as conditioned.
Staff has not received any public comment as of the writing of this report.
Following review of the proposed application with the inclusion of the recommended
conditions and correction of the identified code provisions, staff finds that the proposed use
will have no material adverse effect upon abutting properties unless evidence presented at the
public hearing proves otherwise.
331
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 18 of 22
3. That any additional conditions stated in the approval are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Such conditions may include, but
are not limited to:
a. Regulation of use;
b. Special yards, spaces and buffers;
c. Special fences, solid fences and walls;
d. Surfacing of parking areas;
e. Requiring street, service road or alley dedications and improvements or
appropriate bonds;
f. Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress;

k. Time period within which the proposed use shall be developed;
l. Duration of use;
m. Requiring the dedication of access rights; and
n. Other such conditions as will make possible the development of the city in an
orderly and efficient manner.
The DRC has not identified or recommend any specific conditions necessary at this time to
address any of the above public health, safety or welfare issues.
F. In addition to all other conditions, the following general requirements apply to
every conditional use permit granted:
1. That the right to a use and occupancy permit shall be contingent upon the fulfillment of all general and special conditions imposed by the conditional use permit procedure; and
2. That all of the conditions shall constitute restrictions running with the land use,
shall apply and be adhered to by the owner of the land, successors or assigns, shall be
binding upon the owner of the land, his successors or assigns, shall be consented to in writing, and shall be recorded as such with the county clerk and recorder's office by the property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits, final plan approval or commencement of the conditional use.
The necessary recording of documents will be addressed as part of the final plan process and
will be required prior to approval of the final site plan.
Bozeman Entryway Corridor Provisions
A master site plan was previously approved that included the overall street, lot layout,
pedestrian and vehicle circulation, and parking for this site plan application. While this site
332
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 19 of 22
plan is being reviewed as a separate application, no changes to the previously approved
master site design are proposed. The comments listed below are to be focused on the building
pad approved in the master site plan.
Applicable Design Standards and Guidelines, Section 38.17.060 BMC
The property under consideration is located within an area designated as a Class 1 Entryway
Corridor. The Design Review Board reviewed the submitted application against the
Bozeman Design Objectives Plan for Entryway Corridors and finds the plan in general
compliance with the following comments:
Chapter 1 - Neighborhood Design Guidelines
D. Street Character (pg. 14)
“The use of a coordinated set of street furnishings is encouraged.”
Plans do not indicate a cohesive plan for street furniture, lighting standards, trash
receptacles, etc. A more refined level of design detail is needed. The submitted
documentation is schematic does not indicate a level of consideration for strategic placement of street furnishings. Needs to be developed further, also in regard to how the
exterior space will be used and how it relates to the building design.
F. Building Placement (pg. 23)
“Organize the public edges of a site to visual interest to pedestrian.”
Soften the sidewalk building faces to create visual interest. Consider pedestrian level signs, color through the introduction of flags or non-advertising banners, lighting, the use
of shading kiosks or planting features, or other means of providing interest.
Chapter 3 – Building Design Guidelines
G. Building materials (pg. 46)
“Synthetic materials…are discouraged”
The ‘red brick siding’ is discouraged from being used. It is recommended that full, real
brick walls or other material be used rather than as a façade or treatment.
I. Utilities and Mechanical Equipment (pg. 48)
It is unclear how the mechanical equipment is situated on the roof and if it will be seen from ground level. Please refer to pg. 48 of the Bozeman Design Objectives Plan for
mechanical equipment guidelines.
Chapter 5 - Corridor Specific Guidelines
West Main Street (pg. 63)
The Design Review Board finds that these guidelines are generally met with this proposal as
conditioned.
In summary, the Design Review Board finds the development proposal as conditioned with all
materials submitted and included with the application to be in general conformance with these
standards.
333
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 20 of 22
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The subject property is zoned “B-2” (Community
Commercial District). The intent of the B-2 community business district is “to provide for a
broad range of mutually supportive retail and service functions located in clustered areas
bordered on one or more sides by limited access arterial streets.”
Adopted Growth Policy Designation: Community Commercial Mixed Use: Activities within this land use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community.
Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their
employee and customer base and are sized accordingly. A broad range of functions including
retail, education, professional and personal services, offices, residences, and general service activities typify this designation.
In the “center-based” land use pattern, Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are integrated
with significant transportation corridors, including transit and non-automotive routes, to facilitate
efficient travel opportunities. The density of development is expected to be higher than currently
seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings. A Floor Area Ratio in excess of .5 is desired. It is desirable to allow residences on upper floors, in appropriate circumstances. Urban streetscapes, plazas, outdoor seating, public art, and hardscape
open space and park amenities are anticipated, appropriately designed for an urban character.
Placed in proximity to significant streets and intersections, an equal emphasis on vehicle,
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit circulation shall be provided. High density residential areas are expected in close proximity. Including residential units on sites within this category, typically on upper floors, will facilitate the provision of services and opportunities to persons without
requiring the use of an automobile.
The Community Commercial Mixed Use category is distributed at two different scales to serve
different purposes. Large Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are significant in size and are activity centers for an area of several square miles surrounding them. These are intended to service the larger community as well as adjacent neighborhoods and are typically distributed on a
one mile radius. Smaller Community Commercial areas are usually in the 1015 acre size range
and are intended to provide primarily local service to an area of approximately one-half mile
radius. These commercial centers support and help give identity to individual neighborhoods by providing a visible and distinctive focal point.
They should typically be located on one or two quadrants of intersections of arterials and/or
collectors. Although a broad range of uses may be appropriate in both types of locations the size
and scale is to be smaller within the local service placements.
Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated, pedestrian friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single land use. Higher intensity employment and residential uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant streets and intersections. As
needed, building height transitions should be provided to be compatible with adjacent
development.
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application is proposed to allow the construction of 21,053 sq. ft. multi-tenant building with the sales and
on-premise consumption of alcohol, associated parking and related site improvements on the
334
Z15101, Staff Report for The Market at Ferguson Farms CUP/COA Page 21 of 22
northwest corner of Resort Drive and Huffine Lane. The use is allowed in the B-2
(Community Commercial District) zoning district with approval of a CUP by the City
Commission.
The Ferguson Farm, formerly named Spring Creek Village Resort, received master site plan approval in January 2015. The Market at Ferguson Farm is a freestanding building located
within The Ferguson Farm master site plan. This commercial space will offer a full beverage
liquor license (with no gaming) for merchants that lease space within the building. Food and
beverage businesses will be able to share the seating accommodations throughout the Market
property: ground floor interior common area, ground floor exterior seating and seating on the covered garden deck on the roof of the Market building. The alcohol will only be served
within the serving spaces of the building, rooftop deck, and outdoor patio as shown on the
submitted floor plans.
Businesses will vary inside the Market with the theme of implementing a farmer's market
"type" setting. This will include, but are not limited to: coffee roasters, butcher, baker, fresh seafood store, cheese shop, wine bar and shop, confectionary and desserts and a variety of
individually owned and operated restaurants and some retailers. All vendors will have the
availability to serve alcoholic beverages inside their leased space, in the shared common
areas on the ground floor (interior and exterior) and the non - food garden deck on the roof of
the building.
In January, the property received approval for the Spring Creek Village Resort Master Site

INTRODUCTION
The proposed site plan for Block 1 of The Ferguson Farm Subdivision includes the commercial
development of three (3) lots on 3.3866 acres. The Ferguson Farm Subdivision, formerly named
Spring Creek Village Resort, received master site plan approval in January 2015. The layout of
Block 1 has not changed since this approval. Block 1, The Ferguson Farm Subdivision is located
in the southwest quarter of Section 10, Township 2 South, Range 5 East of P.M.M., Gallatin
County, Montana. The development is zoned B-2 and is bordered by Huffine Lane to the south,
Boardwalk Avenue to the west, Valley Commons Drive to the north, and Resort Drive to the east.
The subdivision will connect to existing City of Bozeman water and sewer services.
Block 1 will be developed in phases. The first phase will be the development of The Ferguson
Farm Market in Lot 1. An application for a conditional use permit is included with this submittal
as the Market intends to have on-site sale and consumption of alcohol. The site landscaping and
lighting plans remain unchanged from the master site plan. Copies of the approved landscaping
and lighting plans are included with this submittal for reference.
The site plan, site grading and drainage plan, stormwater calculations, and civil details have been
combined for Blocks 1 and 4 for simplicity and continuity as the applications for both Blocks are
being submitted at the same time. These are two different applications intended to be reviewed
independently.

INTRODUCTION
Blocks 1 and 4 of The Ferguson Farm Subdivision are proposed commercial developments
bordered by Boardwalk Avenue on the west, Field Street on the north, Resort Drive on the east,
and Huffine Lane to the south. Drainage calculations for the entire subdivision were provided
during the Master Site Plan review process. This report summarizes the drainage within Blocks 1
and 4 with a total area of 5.56 acres. Stormwater runoff will be conveyed via surface flow and
gutters to internal retention ponds. A drainage area map is included in Appendix A. Calculations
for each individual drainage area are included in Appendix B. For the purposes of this report, each
individual drainage area has been named to match the name of the pond that it flows to.
RETENTION POND DESIGN
Ponds have been sized according to City of Bozeman Design Standards. Retention ponds are sized
to capture the entire volume of the 10-year 2-hour storm event. Roof drainage will be collected
and discharged to stormwater drywells with the exception of the building pad on Lot 2 of Block 1.
This future building pad site will discharge to the future retention pond 7A.
BLOCK 1
Retention Pond 7B
Retention Pond 7B is located in a landscaped area near the southeast side of the Block 1 parking
lot. It receives runoff from Drainage Area 7B, totaling 0.42 acres. The required pond volume was
calculated to be 981 cubic feet. The pond design provides a volume of 1,091 cubic feet. The pond
has been designed to handle a 10-yr storm. In the case of a storm exceeding the design storm,
runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow northeast onto Resort Drive.
Retention Pond 8A/8B
Retention Ponds 8A and 8B are located in a landscaped area near the northeast side of the Block
1 parking lot. The ponds receive runoff from Drainage Area 8A, totaling 0.58 acres. The required
pond volume was calculated to be 1,395 cubic feet. The pond design provides a combined volume
of 1,500 cubic feet. The ponds have been designed to handle a 10-yr storm. In the case of a storm
exceeding the design storm, runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow northeast onto Resort
Drive.
366
Design Report - Page 2 of 3
Drainage Area 1
Drainage Area 1, 0.83 acres, includes the west half of the Block 1 parking lot. The drainage area
will discharge, via drainage chase, to Boardwalk Avenue and will be collected within the
subdivision’s internal storm sewer system which ultimately discharges to the existing Retention
Pond 1A. Retention Pond 1A is located in the northwest corner of the subdivision and receives
runoff from the existing Boardwalk Avenue, Valley Commons Drive, and Field Street. The pond
is sized to receive drainage from these streets as well as runoff from the parking lots in Blocks 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5. The original master drainage plan allocated 5,945 cubic feet of runoff volume for
Block 1. The proposed contribution from Block 1 (Drainage Area #1) is now 2,216 cubic feet. In
the case of a storm exceeding the design storm, runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow north
onto Fallon Street.
BLOCK 4
Retention Pond 9A
Retention Pond 9A is located in a landscaped area near the southeast side of the Block 4 parking
lot. It receives runoff from Drainage Area 9A, totaling 0.65 acres. The required pond volume was
calculated to be 1,444 cubic feet. The pond design provides a volume of 1,926 cubic feet. The
pond has been designed to handle a 10-yr storm. In the case of a storm exceeding the design storm,
runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow northeast onto Resort Drive.
Retention Pond 9B
Retention Pond 9B is located in a landscaped area near the northeast side of the Block 4 parking
lot. It receives runoff from Drainage Area 9B, totaling 0.24 acres. The required pond volume was
calculated to be 564 cubic feet. The pond design provides a volume of 592 cubic feet. The pond
has been designed to handle a 10-yr storm. In the case of a storm exceeding the design storm,
runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow northeast onto Resort Drive.
Drainage Area 4
Drainage Area 4, 0.39 acres, includes the west half of the Block 4 parking lot. The drainage area
will discharge, via drainage chase, to Field Street which ultimately discharges to the existing
Retention Pond 2A. Retention Pond 2A is located in the northeast corner of the subdivision and
receives runoff from the existing Field Street and Resort Drive. The pond is sized to receive
drainage from these streets as well as runoff from the parking lots in Blocks 4 and 5. The original
367
Design Report - Page 3 of 3
master drainage plan allocated 3,233 cubic feet of runoff volume for Block 4. The proposed
contribution from Block 4 (Drainage Area #4) is now 1,060 cubic feet. In the case of a storm
exceeding the design storm, runoff will overflow the pond banks and flow northeast onto Resort
Drive.
