WerBell, Assistant Planner Wendy Thomas, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Approve request for Cash in Lieu of Parkland Dedication for the Reach, Inc. Group Home Site Plan, 2752 Durston Road, Application Z15098. MEETING DATE: April 11, 2016 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: The City Commission approves the request for cash donation in-lieu of land. SUGGESTED MOTION: Should the Commission remove this from the consent agenda we recommend the following motion: “Having considered the information provided by staff, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings included in the staff memorandum for application Z15098 and accept the provision of $2,760 cash in lieu as meeting the required parkland dedication.” BACKGROUND: The property owner and applicant, Reach, Inc. c/o Rob Tallon, 322 Gallatin Park Drive, Bozeman, MT 59715, and the representative Intrinsik Architecture, Inc., 111 North Tracy Avenue, Bozeman, MT 59715 submitted an application to the Department of Community Development to allow the construction of one group living residential building. The project was preliminarily approved in 2015. The development of residential property requires dedication of parkland or its equivalent. The subject property is Tract A of Amended Plat A-15-A in the NW ¼ of Section 11, Township Two South, Range Five East, City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana. The subject property is located on the southwest corner at the intersection of Durston Road and Greenway Avenue. Group living requires parkland dedication, cash in-lieu of parkland dedication, or a combination of cash in-lieu and parkland dedication. The applicant requested to provide cash in-lieu of parkland dedication. Pursuant to Section 38.27.030.C, BMC, the applicant provided the necessary appraisal documentation to establish the fair market value for the equivalent land dedication. The basis for the appraisal is “the fair market value is the value of the unsubdivided, unimproved land after it has been annexed and given an urban zoning designation.” Pursuant to Section 38.27.020.A.1.d, “When developed as group living, in lieu of 0.03 acres per dwelling unit, an area of 575 square feet per resident shall be provided up to a limit of 27 persons per net acre.” The Reach, Inc. Group Home project was preliminarily approved for 10 residents. Required parkland dedication is equal to 575 square feet per resident. The site previously contained a 115 single household residential dwelling unit that was demolished for this project. The property is credited with four residents (household) for parkland dedication requirements. The net required parkland dedication is for six residents totaling 3,450 square feet. The required appraisal shows the equivalent land cost at $0.80 per square foot which is in line with other recent cash-in-lieu appraisals. The applicant proposes a $2,760 payment (3,450 square feet X $0.80/square foot) to the City of Bozeman to satisfy the cash in lieu of parkland requirement. The ability to provide parkland within the site is quite limited and would substantially alter the project. It would be difficult to design a park location that would comply with the City’s requirements for frontage and provide for any buildable or parking area. The project borders the Greenway public park on the east. This is a linear park in the PROST plan with an existing trail and connects with the Harvest Creek linear park to the north. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board Subdivision Review Committee considered the proposed use of cash-in-lieu of parkland and the appraised value and for this specific site recommended favorably on both. UNRESOLVED ISSUE(S): None determined at this time. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS: Parkland dedication for 6 residents at an area of 575 square feet per resident requires 3450 square feet of parkland dedication total. Per the attached appraisal, the appraised value is $0.80 per square foot. Therefore, the anticipated cash in-lieu payment for this project is $2,760.

Pertzborn, AIA intrinsik architecture, inc. 111 North Tracy Avenue Bozeman, MT 59715 February 18, 2016 Dear Mr.Pertzborn, As per your request I have gathered some data to estimate a market value for your R-3 land on a per square foot basis with a legal description of: Tract A of Amended Plat A-15-A in the NW ¼of Sec 11,T2S, R5E, P.M.M, Gallatin County, Montana, according to the official plat thereof on file and of Record in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder, Gallatin County, MT. The purpose of the estimate is for you to establish the market value for the City of Bozeman’s Cash in Lieu Parks Program.The valuation is not on your piece of land, but on what annexed speculative development land with a similar use would bring in the open market. The following sales have been used to estimate a value on a per square footage basis.The most difficult part of estimating cash in lieu is that the City is asking for a value of something that quite frankly does not exist. Thus the compiled sales on the following pages are of sites that are speculative development land with somewhat similar characteristics when compared to the subject. 126 127 128 129 130 Subject 131 The indicated range of value from the comparable sales is $0.57psf to $0.85psf.All of the sales indicate a very narrow range of value Sale 1 is almost identical to what the City has requested as far as similar zoning, annexation and future use.Sale 1 has resold, but the zoning and the legally permissible use has changed to commercial. Sale 4 is pending and has been added because it is almost identical to what the City has requested. In fact, this parcel of land is located in proximity to the subject. Although the sales price was lower on a per acre basis, the purchaser is paying for some additional infrastructure and transferring some finished lots to the seller. The residual a land value is approximately $38,000per acre. Presently speculative development land that is being annexed into the City of Bozeman for residential development is being sold between $30,000 and $40,000per acre. I have reconciled in the middle of the range at $35,000per acre or $0.80psf. If I can be of further assistance,please do not hesitate to contact me.
