The applicant would like to begin construction of the residential dwellings prior to the completion of all of the infrastructure improvements. Water supply and wastewater treatment would be installed, tested and approved by the City of Bozeman prior to any vertical construction. In addition, streets proposed with the subdivision of the lots within the concept PUD would be constructed to a city gravel standard and all private utility providers would be given an opportunity to install services at their discretion prior to the construction of any residential dwellings. As part of this request, the applicant would enter into an improvements agreement with the City of Bozeman to financially guarantee all of the remaining improvements prior to the final platting of any subdivision phases. Included as part of the preliminary plat application submittal, the applicant is proposing a facilities plan to better coordinate the installation schedules in a manner acceptable to the various City of Bozeman departments. The preliminary plat application would also include a narrative addressing the 13 criteria from Section 38.39.030.D of the Unified Development Code. Parks, Trails and Open Space According to the updated parkland tables for the amended West Winds PUD, the Phase V subdivision was allocated a total of 1.110 acres of parkland which would meet the dedication requirements for 37 units. As is indicated on the Phase V subdivision plat, .78 acres (26 units) of dedicated parkland requirements were met for the properties that are the subject of this request. Based on the concept proposed, a total of 54 single family lots would be platted with a subdivision which would require a total dedication of 1.62 acres. As a result, a balance of .84 acres of dedicated parkland is required. As part of the development of the subject properties, the applicant will be completing un-improved portions of the West Winds Community PUD parklands. Figure 4 illustrates the relation of the concept PUD area to the surrounding park and trails network and indicates the park and trail areas to be improved as development occurs over time. 0 400 800200 Feet VAQUERO PARKWAY DAVIS LANEI HUNTERS WAYLOT 1 LOT 1 BLOCK 3 BLOCK 4 SOURCE: CITY OF BOZEMAN GIS DEPARTMENT W. OAK STREET WEST WINDS PLANNED COMMUNITY PUD CONCEPT PUD MODIFICATION APPLICATION 5 Transportation Network Figure 5 illustrates the transportation network surrounding the subject properties based on the functional classification method adopted in the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan. As noted throughout this narrative, one of the unique concepts proposed with this application is an alternative local street section. Due to the irregular shape of the properties and the adjacency to arterials with limited access points, an uncommon design philosophy has been employed to allow for increased lot density while maintaining a functional access network. Most of the interior streets within the concept PUD would utilize a modified local street section within a 45-foot right of way. Essentially, this section is a typical local street with a 6- foot curb walk in-lieu of the standard 5-foot sidewalk and no landscaped boulevards. The premise behind this proposal is that seasonal variation may allow for alternative methods in a situation where the traffic volumes are relatively low due to the total number of properties accessed. Specifically, if the landscaped boulevard provides area for automobile and pedestrian separation along with snow storage in the winter, dedicated bike and parking lanes can serve as pedestrian buffers year round and the bike lane should be able to account for large quantities of snow storage in the circumstances where that storage is necessary and the utilization of the lane for bike travel is likely low. 0 200 400100 Feet WINTER PARK STREET DAVIS LANEI HUNTERS WAYLOT 1 LOT 1 BLOCK 3 BLOCK 4 SOURCE: CITY OF BOZEMAN GIS DEPARTMENT W. OAK STREET WEST WINDS PLANNED COMMUNITY PUD CONCEPT PUD MODIFICATION APPLICATION 6 Summary As noted throughout this application, this concept PUD is intended to promote a tailored strategy to create a place for a specific housing type. As such, the applicant is requesting that an unconventional approach be considered to allow for a preferable product. Single family lot ownership has been found to be a favorable alternative to condominium unit ownership due to an increased capability to secure financing in the current lending environment. The idea behind this concept is that smaller homes constructed on smaller lots outside of the conservation overlay district should provide a price point that is accessible to a broader segment of the marketplace.

As noted in this Pre-Application plan review request, the subject properties are located within an approved subdivision. As such, the physical conditions and the methods proposed to mitigate any potential impacts remain the same. As part of the Preliminary Plat Application, a digital copy of the original reference materials will be provided. A summary response as to the reasoning for each requested waiver is provided, where appropriate, on the following list in bold italics. 1. Surface water. a. Mapping. Locate on a plat overlay or sketch map all surface waters and the delineated floodplain which may affect or be affected by the proposed subdivision including: (1) Natural water systems such as natural streams, creeks, stream/ditches, drainages, waterways, gullies, ravines or washes in which water flows either continuously or intermittently and has a definite channel, bed and banks. (2) Artificial water systems such as canals, ditches, ditch/streams, aqueducts, reservoirs, irrigation or drainage systems. b. Description. (1) Describe all surface waters which may affect or be affected by the proposed subdivision including name, approximate size, present use and time of year when water is present. (2) Describe proximity of proposed construction (such as buildings, sewer systems, streets) to surface waters Surface water information was provided with the original subdivision application submittal. The necessary permits were requested and granted. This information is also provided in the Environmental Assessment completed, reviewed and approved with the original subdivision application. A copy of this information will be provided with the Preliminary Plat Application. 2. Floodplains. A floodplain analysis report shall be submitted with the preliminary plat in compliance with article 31 of this chapter. The subject properties are not within the 100 year floodplain and, therefore are not subject to the provisions of Article 31. 3. Groundwater. a. Depth. Establish the seasonal minimum and maximum depth to the water table, dates on which these depths were determined, and the location and depth of all known aquifers which may be affected by the proposed subdivision. The high water table shall be determined from tests taken during the period of major concern as specified in writing by the county F:\Projects\Mark Easton\West Winds PUD-PreApp 102.06\Text\Pre-App\WaiverRequest(COB).docx environmental health department. Specific locations for test holes may also be determined by the county environmental health department. b. Steps to avoid degradation. Describe any steps necessary to avoid the degradation of groundwater and groundwater recharge areas. Groundwater information was provided with the original subdivision application submittal. This information is also provided in the Environmental Assessment completed, reviewed and approved with the original subdivision application. A copy of this information will be provided with the Preliminary Plat Application. Furthermore, groundwater resources will be unaffected by this subdivision as groundwater will not be necessary to service the subdivision. 4. Geology; soils; slopes. a. Geologic hazards. Identify geologic hazards affecting the proposed subdivision which could result in property damage or personal injury due to rock falls or slides; landslides, mud or snow; surface subsidence (i.e., settling or sinking); or seismic activity. b. Protective measures. Explain what measures will be taken to prevent or materially lessen the danger of future property damage or injury due to any of the hazards referred to in subsection A.4.a of this section. c. Unusual features. Provide a statement describing any unusual soil, topographic or geologic conditions on the property which limit the capability for building or excavation using ordinary and reasonable construction techniques. The statement should address conditions such as shallow bedrock, high water table, unstable or expansive soil conditions, and slope. On a map, identify any slopes in excess of 15 percent grade. d. Soils map. The subdivision shall be overlaid on the county soil survey maps obtained from the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS). The maps are 1:24,000 in scale. These maps may be copied without permission. However, enlargement of these maps could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. Soils were mapped using a minimum delineation of five acres, and these soils reports were intended to alert developers to possible problems and the need for a more detailed on-site investigation. The developer shall provide the following soil reports, which can be obtained from the NRCS: (1) The physical properties and engineering indexes for each soil type; (2) Soil limitations for building and site development, and water features for each soil type; (3) Hydric soils report for each soil type. If hydric soils are present, the developer shall provide a wetlands investigation by a certified consultant, using the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (January 1987); and (4) The developer shall provide any special design methods planned to overcome the above limitations. e. Cuts and fills. Describe the location and amount of any cut or fill three or more feet in depth. These cuts and fills should be indicated on a plat overlay or sketch map. Where cuts or fills are necessary, describe any plans to prevent erosion and to promote revegetation such as replacement of topsoil and grading. Information regarding geology, slopes and soils was provided with the original subdivision application submittal. This information is also provided in the Environmental F:\Projects\Mark Easton\West Winds PUD-PreApp 102.06\Text\Pre-App\WaiverRequest(COB).docx Assessment completed, reviewed and approved with the original subdivision application. A copy of this information will be provided with the Preliminary Plat Application. Information regarding geology, slopes and soils will not be necessary for the review of this subdivision. The subject property is relatively flat and there are no geologic irregularities or unusual soil characteristics that would make this site less suitable for development than that of the surrounding properties. 5. Vegetation. a. Vegetation map. On a plat overlay or sketch map: (1) Indicate the distribution of the major vegetation types such as marsh, grassland, shrub, coniferous forest, deciduous forest or mixed forest. (2) Identify critical plant communities such as stream bank or shoreline vegetation; vegetation on steep, unstable slopes; and vegetation on soils highly susceptible to wind or water erosion. b. Protective measures. Describe measures to preserve trees and critical plant communities (e.g., design and location of streets, lots and open spaces). Vegetation information and Weed Management measures were outlined in the Environmental Assessment as part of the original subdivision. A copy of the Environmental Assessment will be provided in the Preliminary Plat Application. Detailed information regarding vegetation, beyond the preparation of a weed management plan, will not be necessary. The site does not harbor any critical plant communities and is no more susceptible to slope degradation or erosive factors than that of the surrounding properties. 6. Wildlife. a. Species. Describe species of fish and wildlife which use the area affected by the proposed subdivision. b. Critical areas. Identify on a plat overlay or sketch map of the proposed subdivision any known critical, significant or "key" wildlife areas, such as big game winter range, waterfowl nesting areas, habitat for rare or endangered species or wetlands. c. Pets/human activity. Describe the expected effects of pets and human activity on wildlife. d. Public access. Describe the effects on public access to public lands, trails, hunting or fishing areas. e. Protective measures. Describe any proposed measures to protect or enhance wildlife habitat or to minimize degradation (e.g., keeping building and streets back from shorelines, setting aside marshland as undeveloped open space). f. Discussion of impact; documentation. The developer shall discuss the impact of the proposed development on fish and wildlife with the state department of fish, wildlife and Parks (FWP). With the preliminary plat, the developer shall provide written documentation from FWP that: (1) Verifies that FWP has reviewed the proposed plat; (2) Lists any FWP recommendations; and (3) Outlines any mitigation planned to overcome any adverse impacts. F:\Projects\Mark Easton\West Winds PUD-PreApp 102.06\Text\Pre-App\WaiverRequest(COB).docx Wildlife information was provided in the Environmental Assessment as part of the original subdivision. A copy of the Environmental Assessment will be provided in the Preliminary Plat Application. The subject property is within the corporate limits of the City of Bozeman. As a result, future development of the site has been anticipated through both the annexation and zoning of the property. The property is not considered critical wildlife habitat. Therefore, impacts to wildlife are not expected. 7. Historical features. a. Affected areas. Describe and locate on a plat overlay or sketch map any known or possible historic, paleontological, archaeological, or cultural sites, structures, or objects which may be affected by the proposed subdivision. b. Protective measures. Describe any plans to protect such sites or properties. c. Procedures. Describe procedures to be followed if any historic, paleontological, archaeological, cultural sites, structures or object are found on site during site preparation and construction. d. Discussion of impact; documentation. The developer shall discuss the impact of the proposed development on any historic features, and the need for inventory, study and/or preservation with the state historic preservation office (SHPO). The developer shall provide written documentation from SHPO that: (1) Verifies that SHPO has reviewed the proposed plat; (2) Lists any SHPO recommendations; (3) Outlines any plans for inventory, study, and/or preservation; and (4) Describes any mitigation planned to overcome any adverse impacts. e. Preparation of information. Information on historical sites shall be prepared by a qualified professional, including persons with a professional or educational background in history, architectural history, archaeology, art history, historic preservation, anthropology and cultural resource management. Information regarding historical features was provided in the Environmental Assessment as part of the original subdivision. A copy of the Environmental Assessment will be provided in the Preliminary Plat Application. The State Historic Preservation Office will be notified of this subdivision proposal through a customary comment solicitation. Should any items of historical significance be identified through that process, mitigation efforts will be included in the preliminary plat application materials. 17. Neighborhood center plan. A neighborhood center plan shall be prepared and submitted for all subdivisions containing a neighborhood center. This item was discussed in the Environmental Assessment included in the original subdivision application. A copy of the Environmental Assessment will be provided with the Preliminary Plat Application for this subdivision. 19. Miscellaneous. a. Public lands. Describe how the subdivision will affect access to any public lands. Where public lands are adjacent to or within 200 feet of the proposed development, describe present F:\Projects\Mark Easton\West Winds PUD-PreApp 102.06\Text\Pre-App\WaiverRequest(COB).docx and anticipated uses for those lands (e.g., open space, recreation, etc.), and how public access will be preserved/enhanced. These items were discussed in the Environmental Assessment included in the original subdivision application. A copy of the Environmental Assessment will be provided with the Preliminary Plat Application for this subdivision. This subdivision proposal will not have any effect on public lands as none are adjacent to the subject property. 20. Affordable housing. Describe how the subdivision will satisfy the requirements of chapter 10, article 8. The description shall be of adequate detail to clearly identify those lots designated as subject to chapter 10, article 8 compliance requirements and to make the obligations placed on the affected lots readily understandable. a. On all lots intended to be used to satisfy the requirements of chapter 10, article 8, the allowable building envelope shall be depicted. Though this particular provision is not required at this time, a detailed discussion as to this subdivisions role in the provision of affordable housing will be detailed throughout the preliminary plat application.

As part of the overall vision for the PUD, a set of uses and corresponding densities were proposed that would develop over several years depending on market conditions. As part of this particular modification request, the applicant is asking that a portion of the original PUD area, specifically Lot 1 Block 3 and Lot 1 Block 4 of the Phase 5 subdivision, be allowed to be developed as single family lots in lieu of the senior living facility configuration that was part of the original approval. As is the case with many PUD proposals that intend to develop a larger area over a relatively long period of time, some modifications are necessary throughout the life of the PUD approval to adjust to evolution in the marketplace. As a result, an amendment to the original PUD was requested in 2008. The 2008 amendment superseded the 2004 approval and is the version that will be further amended should this request be approved. Included in the amended PUD was an alternative land use and density scenario for the properties that are the subject of this modification request. A “Residential Alternative” was proposed that would allow for the platting of single family lots like that of the request being made with this application. The reasoning behind the amendment request in 2008 was similar in that the applicant was asking for some flexibility in the entitlements to broaden the development potential of the subject properties while maintaining the spirit of the original PUD approval. The objective of this proposal is simple. The applicant is asking to execute a version of the land uses requested with the 2008 amendment. Included in this request, is the utilization of some of the PUD relaxations granted with both the original PUD approval along with the addition of a series of new relaxations to allow for some of the unique characteristics of the lot configuration proposed as part of this amendment request. Throughout the narrative that follows, and the discussions that will be had as this request moves through the process, will be a focus on how this particular request, developed in the manner suggested here, can contribute to the provision of housing at an entry-level price point. One of the themes that echoes throughout the West Winds Planned Community PUD, including the iterations that followed the original approval, is how this PUD will provide “affordable housing”. The Bozeman Community Plan notes the importance of a variety of housing types which may provide options for certain city residents where non currently exist. With that, this request is intended to adhere to the principles West Winds Planned Community PUD and the goals and objectives of the Bozeman Community Plan. WEST WINDS PLANNED COMMUNITY PUD CONCEPT PUD MODIFICATION APPLICATION 2 Suggested Modifications The initial Land Use Plan for the West Winds Planned Community PUD in 2004 designated the properties that are the subject of this request as “Senior Living Area”. The Master Plan included a schematic plan that allowed for the potential of an assisted living facility along with some independent living properties in the form of stand-alone condominiums. As part of the current entitlement secured as part of the 2008 PUD amendment, the senior living area concept was carried over. However, an alternative scenario for the southwestern portion of the site was presented that included a single family and townhouse lot configuration. Throughout the various iterations of the plan, the uses and densities have been generally similar to those which are proposed with this request. The concept proposed with this request will increase density on this portion of the PUD area in an effort to generate the number of lots necessary to make this type of project feasible. 2004 2008 WEST WINDS PLANNED COMMUNITY PUD CONCEPT PUD MODIFICATION APPLICATION 3 Relaxations The primary consideration for this application is a request to add relaxations from the Unified Development Code to the list of approved relaxations within the West Winds Planned Community PUD. The reasoning behind the request for additional relaxations is concentrated on the unique lot configuration proposed with this concept PUD. As noted, the objective of this development is to create lots for an entry-level housing product while providing adequate accesses and utilities to service them. In this scenario, a certain volume of properties is necessary to keep the project feasible. As a result, the design philosophy behind this concept PUD is to create as many single family and townhouse lots on an irregularly shaped parent parcel as possible. To achieve this, some deviation from the typical design standards is required. This concept will utilize the following relaxations that have been approved in the past and are included as existing entitlements on the subject properties: Section 38.23.030.C “Double/Through and Reverse Frontage” to allow for double frontage on lots adjacent to arterial streets with limited access and one local street. Section 38.23.040.B “Block Length” to allow the block length to exceed 400-feet on one of the blocks within the proposed subdivision. Section 38.23.040.C “Block Width” to allow the minimum block width to be less than 200-feet to accommodate the unique lot configuration proposed. In addition, a request to consider the following relaxations to accommodate the proposed lot configuration include: Section 38.08.040.A (Table 38.08.040-1) “Minimum Lot Area” to allow for single family lots in the subject portion of the PUD area to be less than 5,000 square feet. Section 38.24.050.A.1 “Right of Way Width” to allow for access streets with the subject portion of the PUD area to differ from the standards outlined in the UDC, the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan, the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy and the City of Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications.
