Resolution 4685 Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Carolyn Poissant – Manager of Trails, Open Space, and Park Development Mitch Overton – Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4685 - Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Application for the Northwest Bozeman Wayfinding Station at the Bozeman Sports Park MEETING DATE: April 11, 2016 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 4685 for a grant application to the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the Northwest Bozeman Wayfinding Station at the Bozeman Sports Park BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 4521 approved the allocation of Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOP) bond funding in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000 for the acquisition park land and development of the Bozeman Sports Park and called for the City to enter into a binding agreement with the party responsible for providing the required $976,100 cash and / or in-kind match for the TOP project. An Agreement with the Bozeman Sports Park Foundation (“Foundation”) was approved on February 23, 2015. Members of the Foundation recently suggested applying for, and assisted with the preparation of, a Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant application for 2016 through Montana State Parks. A grant application for $125,000, to be matched by $125,000 from the previously allocated TOP bond funds has been developed for a wayfinding station and restroom facility, which are items included in the Preliminary Master Site Plan currently being reviewed by the Development Review Committee (Attachment A). The grant application 2016-005 has been authorized by the City Manager, Finance Director, and Director of Parks and Recreation per Administrative Order 2014-01, (Attachment B). The wayfinding station project site is proposed to be the project location so as not to encumber the entire Sports Park site by Land and Water Conservation Fund requirements. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The proposed wayfinding station facilities will be included on the Bozeman Sports Park Master Site Plan being reviewed by the Development Review Committee, which will then be brought before the Commission. If the grant is not awarded, construction of these facilities will depend on final budget considerations for Phase I of the Sports Park. ALTERNATIVES: Per Commission. 241 FISCAL EFFECTS: The grant would require an equal match of $125,000 to come from the previously approved TOP bond funds for the Sports Park construction budget. No new funds are being requested. Attachments: Resolution 4685 Attachment A – Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Application Attachment B – Admin.

Description of the Community the Project Will Serve. Provide a short description of the community, geographic location, population demographics, etc. The City of Bozeman, situated in southwestern Montana, is named after John M. Bozeman, founder of the Bozeman Trail, a shortcut connecting the Oregon Trail to the gold rush territory of Montana. Bozeman lies about 60 miles east of Butte and 98 miles southeast of the Montana state capital of Helena. The city is also located 93 miles north of Yellowstone National Park and is home to Montana State University, the state’s land grant university. Today, Bozeman is one of the state’s fastest growing cities with a population of 45,000 within city limits and an additional 95,000 within the surrounding Gallatin County. Bozeman attracts a diverse group of business professionals and entrepreneurs, college students, academics, retirees, and young families seeking to raise their children in the stress free lifestyle only Montana can offer. The unprecedented growth of the Bozeman area launched it to the 6th fastest growing micropolitan statistical area in the country according to U.S. Census Bureau data released in 2015. This growth presents both opportunity and challenges to our community, especially surrounding park and recreational facility needs. 2. Project Location Description. Provide a detailed description of the project location. Include Township, Range, Section, adjacent streets or roads, adjacent development and land uses. The Northwest Bozeman Wayfinding Station will be situated in the recently purchased park property located at S03, T02 S, R05 E, C.O.S. 2554B, TRACT 1A1 in Northwest Bozeman, Montana. The actual project area is preliminarily defined by the following coordinates: 45.699344, -111.100953; 45.699354, -111.100520 45.697196, -111.100963; 45.698206, -111.100530 The station is located at the entry into the proposed Bozeman Sports Park, and 80-acre sport field facility serving the entire region, currently planned for development in late 2016 – 2017 (see Appendix 2 – Location Map). The new park property is situated between Cottonwood Road, Flanders Mill Road., West Oak Street, and Baxter Lane in the heart of Bozeman’s fastest growing residential area and adjacent to the proposed site for a future second high school. The station will provide wayfinding information and a comfort station for the Bozeman trail network (see Appendix 2 – page 2). The park itself will include an interconnected trail system, tying into adjacent neighborhoods and providing Safe-Routes-to-School pathways to nearby Meadowlark Elementary School and the adjacent proposed second high school. Single- and multi-family residential neighborhoods directly border two of the four sides of the park with the currently undeveloped property to the west likely to become a commercial and residential mixed use development. 248 4 3. Project Acreages. a) Provide the total acreage of the park site being acquired or developed. The total Bozeman Sports Park site is 79.869 acres and was purchased by the City of Bozeman in 2013. b) Provide the number of acres or square footage (construction footprint) that would be developed with this grant. Do not include acreage for work that will be completed outside the scope of this LWCF grant. This L&WCF grant application is for the Wayfinding Station project site, which is approximately 38,500 SF (550 ft. x 70 ft.), or 0.8838 acre. The reason we are limiting this project to the smaller area is due to the unforeseen needs of the greater Sports Park. The site was purchased with Open Space bond funds, which by state law, requires the site to remain as recreational open space in perpetuity. However, portions of the property may be needed for public infrastructure and other support facilities that may not comply with the strict encumbrances of the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program. There are also overhead utility lines and underground irrigation pipes in existing easements further into the site (to be developed in later phases) servicing adjacent agricultural lands that we cannot abandon or alter at this point in time. 4. Project Description. Provide a detailed description of the project proposed. Long-term Vision for the Bozeman Sports Park The vision for Bozeman Sports Park is to develop the region’s premier field sports complex with all the amenities of a multi-faceted community park. It is currently in the master planning stage and is expected to be a multi-phase project over the next 10 years. The preliminary Master Plan for the park includes 12 multi-use athletic fields that can be configured to over 20 fields for young players; a central pavilion including an all-inclusive playground, splash pad, and picnic pavilion and concessions building; interconnecting trails and walkways; a potential indoor athletic facility; and a maintenance yard. Internal open space and naturally landscaped areas will provide space for unstructured active recreation. Several smaller playgrounds and climbing walls are envisioned to accommodate younger children while older siblings play field sports. Shaded pavilions and picnic areas will provide space for family and group outings, and a fenced dog off-leash and agility park will provide a safe environment for exercise and training. Approximately four miles of trails around the perimeter and through the site will link to Bozeman’s growing interconnected trail system, connecting to adjacent neighborhoods, and providing Safe-Route-to-School pathways to Meadowlark Elementary School and the proposed second high school. 249 5 L&WCF Grant Project: Northwest Bozeman Wayfinding Station For this grant application, the Wayfinding Station will include the following: • Wayfinding kiosk / shade structure • Concrete plaza and walkway connecting kiosk and restroom • Trail network maps, park information, system and program directory and schedules • A four-stall ADA-accessible restroom building • Utilities to support the site improvements • Irrigation and landscaping (approx.. 10 shade trees and a drainage bio-swale) a) The scope of work you intend to complete using the funds requested. The L&WCF grant funds would be used to purchase and construct the wayfinding kiosk and purchase the ADA restroom building. Without L&WCF funding, the City may have to utilize temporary facilities until a later phase of funding becomes available. b) Each type of outdoor recreation use provided by the project. The wayfinding / comfort station would provide a much-needed informational directory for park and trail users, as well as an accessible restroom to support all future park activities. There is a neighborhood park within 1000 feet of the proposed wayfinding station with a large playground that does not have a restroom. A cross-walk will be installed across Baxter Lane to facilitate access to the proposed station (see Location Map). Cycling, running, walking, and rollerblading area all popular activities in Bozeman. c) How the project meets local recreational needs and active & passive rec. uses. In the recently completed National Citizen Survey for the City of Bozeman, 93% of respondents had visited a local park in the past month and 45% indicated that recreational opportunities as one of the top three thing valued most about living in Bozeman. Voters approved, with 76% approval, the $15 million Trails, Open Space, and Parks bond in 2012, $7.5 million of which was allocated for the purchase and development of the Sports Park. However, only $2.5 million of that amount is available for construction, after city code-required road improvements, utility connections, and irrigation storage facilities are built. The $2.5 million will only cover four fields and a small parking lot, along with city code-required stormwater detention and landscaping. In the Bozeman Community Recreation Needs Survey (2007), the top two activities respondents listed as most important to members of their household were “walking/hiking” and “biking (other than BMX),” (see Appendix 6 – Community Recreation Needs Survey Results). Walking is recommended as a primary activity for maintaining a basic level of fitness for people of all ages. The Northwest Bozeman Wayfinding Station would orient trail and park users and provide a much needed respite amidst the rapidly developing residential areas in the part of town when access to restroom facilities is limited. Walking and biking trails on the outskirts of Bozeman dearly need to be serviced by such a facility. 250 6 d) How the project will enhance the environment and how the project will enhance local or regional tourism. The long-term vision of the Sports Park facility at buildout would provide significant economic benefits. Based on an independent study conducted by the Rocky Mountain Economic Development District, the park is projected to produce $6,231,415 into our economy on an annual basis. Tournaments are expected to generate 8,000–20,000 new visitor days and 3,438–8,596 additional hotel room nights. In just three years, the Bozeman Sports Complex is projected to add $24,379,407 to the Bozeman economy, inclusive of one-time construction costs. This project is a small component of that vision, but a much needed facility for current park and trail users. e) How the project will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). All facilities in the Sports Park will meet ADA requirements, including buildings, parking lots, paths, and playgrounds. f) Use seasons (include months of use) and hours of operation. Parks in Bozeman are open from dawn to dusk in general. Trails along the perimeter of the park are within public-right-of-way and available for public use 24-hours/day. Security lighting on the wayfinding station will be provided. Pedestrian scale lighting to internal walkways that are part of the Safe-routes to School network, connecting into the adjacent neighborhoods is proposed for the future Sports Park. g) The target population the project will serve. This project will serve all park and trail users, residents and visitors, of all ages and abilities. h) How the project addresses one or more of the issues for outdoor recreation in the 2014–2018 Montana Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (“SCORP”). The MT 2016-18 SCORP indicates “walking, jogging, and biking paths” at one of the top facilities to increase state-wide. In terms of the SCORP Needs Analysis tables, Soccer Fields Paved Bike/Ped Trails ranked in the upper one-third and one-half of all activities scored, respectively. Locally, Paved Bike/Ped Trails and Soccer Fields were ranked 3rd and 4th overall in priority of need (Table 2.9). The two key features of this project and the Sports Park are very highly rated in terms of need in the SCORP. 251 7 252 8 5. Continued Maintenance of the Site. Describe the sponsor’s plan and ability to maintain the site after the project is completed. Include the maintenance budget for the site. The City of Bozeman will provide maintenance for the entire site in perpetuity. The approximate annual maintenance budget for this facility is approximately $2000 per year, on average, for servicing the restroom and updating park and trail information signs. The full 80- acre Sports Park site build-out annual maintenance budget is approximately $225,000. 6. Statement of Compliance. Provide a statement of compliance with state and federal regulations. The project must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal civil-rights regulations, including non-discrimination. 253 9 To the best of my knowledge, the City of Bozeman is in full compliance with applicable state and federal regulations and the Americans with Disabilities Act and federal civil rights laws. 6. Project Boundary Map. A Boundary Map must be submitted with your grant application. This map establishes a boundary that defines the project area being developed or acquired with federal LWCF grant money. With rare exception, this boundary will be drawn around the entire park or the area of the unit that receives LWCF assistance. Boundary Maps must provide metes and bounds and the total acreage within each boundary. The project area is defined by the red dotted line below (550 ft. x 70 ft.). The meets and bounds description is as follows: (to be provided by Bozeman GIS Department) 254 10 II. Financial Profile Section 1. Provide the total dollar figure for all LWCF funds granted to the sponsor in the past. Consult the List of LWCF Sites by County on this web site if you need help, or call the FWP Parks Division (444-3753). A total of $663,288.60 has been awarded to the City of Bozeman, according to the LWCF state website. 2. Provide a table that details sources of funding (sponsor must complete entire project before requesting a site inspection and reimbursement for 50% of eligible costs up to the grant amount). Include all sources and amounts.
