Project Summary
The property owner and applicant JJVM Properties, LLC, PO Box 1441, Belgrade, MT 59714,
represented by TD&H Engineering, 234 East Babcock, Suite 3, Bozeman, MT 59718 have
submitted an application to subdivide approximately 4.104 acres into 18 single household
residential lots, with a park, and a open space lot. If approved, the Pine Meadow subdivision
will result in a net density of 5.24 dwelling unit per acre. Pursuant to Section 38.08.080.A, BMC
the minimum residential density in an R-1 district is five (5) dwelling units per net acre.
Parkland requirements are proposed to be met through a combination of land and park
improvements in-lieu of parkland dedication. A complete parkland discussion can be found in
Section 6, effects on local services under primary subdivision review criteria of this report.
Valley Drive will be partially improved to meet minimum City standards by constructing a paved
drive aisle 31 feet wide and curb and side walk only on the east half of the street. West Villard
Street will be extended through the site to the west property boundary.
The subject property was recently annexed into the City and zoned R-1 (Residential Single
Household District). The annexation agreement allows the existing home on the property to
continue to utilize on-site water and wastewater systems until further development occurs.
The Pine Meadows project is adjacent to and to the west of the recently approved Valley
Meadows subdiviosn. Valley Meadows created 62 townhome lots with parkland and
improvements-in-liu of parkland.

A preliminary plat application was submitted on January 26, 2016 and was reviewed against the
submittal requirements required by Title 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC). On
February 2, 2016 the application was deemed acceptable for initial review. The preliminary plat
was reviewed by the DRC on February 17 and March 2, 2016. The DRC and Staff determined
the submittal contained detailed, supporting information that is sufficient to allow for the review
of the proposed subdivision on February 17, 2016. Pursuant to Section 38.03.040.A.5.a(4),
BMC the city commission shall approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision
application by May 11, 2016, unless there is a written extension from the developer, not to
exceed one year.
Public notice for this application was placed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Sunday, March
20, 2016. The site was posted with a public notice on March 16, 2016. Public notice was sent to
physically adjacent property owners via certified mail, and to all other property owners of record
within 200 feet of the subject property via first class mail, on March 16, 2016. Public comment
has been received on this project and is attached to this report.
On March 30, 2016 this major subdivision staff report was drafted and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval by the Planning Director for consideration by the
Planning Board. The Planning Board is scheduled to consider and make recommendation to the
City Commission on April 5, 2016 and the City Commission is scheduled to make a final
decision at their April 18, 2016 public hearing. The final decision for a Major Subdivision
Preliminary Plat with fewer than 50 lots must be made within 60 working days of the date it was
deemed adequate; or in this case by May 11, 2016.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Based on review of the DRC and the Department of Community Development all applicable
regulations appear to be met. Pertinent code provisions and site specific requirements are
included in this report for City Commission consideration.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and
installation of any necessary utilities
As noted under Staff Finding No. 2 above and required Section 38.23.060.A, all easements,
existing and proposed, shall be accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the
final plat application. Therefore, all utilities and necessary utility easements will be provided
and depicted accordingly on the final plat.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision
and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the
parcel
All of the proposed lots have frontage to public streets constructed to City standards with lot
frontage meeting the minimum standard shown on the preliminary plat. In addition, pursuant to
Section 38.24.090.A, BMC, plats shall contain a statement requiring lot accesses to be built to
115
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 19 of 31
the standard contained in this section, the city design standards and specifications policy, and the
city modifications to state public works standard specifications.
Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608
1) The effect on agriculture
The subject property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman
Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential development and is surrounded by residential
development. Therefore, this subdivision will not have adverse effects on agriculture.
2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities
No agricultural water user facilities were discovered during review. Currently the subject
property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan;
the area is zoned for residential development, and has begun to develop. Therefore, the proposed
subdivision will have minimal impacts on agricultural water user facilities.
3) The effect on Local services
Water/Sewer – Municipal water and sewer service will be provided by the construction of new
service lines within the street rights of way. Each lot will connect to the constructed water and
sewer mains designed to the appropriate design standard shall be located in the standard location
as approved by the water/sewer superintendent. The existing home will be required to abandon
the well and on site waste water system once City services are constructed.
Streets – Valley Drive will be improved with an asphalt surface and curb, gutter and sidewalk on
the east side of the street. Villard Street will be extended to Valley Drive providing alternate
access to the development. Following new water and service line installations to accommodate
the new lots/development, all street improvements will be constructed to acceptable City
standards with curb, gutter, pavement, boulevard sidewalks and storm water facilities.
Bozeman’s land development regulations place high value on an interconnected street system.
This subdivision executes that purpose and design.
Police/Fire – The property is located within the City’s Police and Fire emergency response area.
The subdivider must obtain addresses for the new lots from the City Engineer’s Office prior to
filing the final plat to facilitate emergency response to the site.
Stormwater - The standard requirement for a detailed review of the final grading and drainage
plan, and approval by the City Engineer, will be required as part of the infrastructure plan and
specification review process prior to final plat approval. Specific locations for storm water areas
are show on the face of the plat. Condition 23 requires maintenance provisions for the
stormwater treatment area to enable adequate public oversight of the facilities.
Parklands – The Applicant proposes creation of 17 additional single household residential lots
on 3.435 acres of land which equates to 5.24 dwelling units per acre. The requirement to
dedicate parkland is enabled through Section 76-3-621(2), Mont. Code Ann. and implemented
116
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 20 of 31
pursuant to Section 38.27.020.A.1, BMC. There are both minimum and maximum dedication
requirements.
The parkland dedication for initial subdivision when net density is known at the time of
preliminary plat of 0.03 acre per dwelling unit of land shall be provided. The applicant proposed
a hybrid of parkland dedication of 0.3756 acres (16,360 square feet) and improvements in-lieu of
parkland to meet minimum parkland requirements to meet Section 38.27, BMC. The proposed
subdivision includes 17 additional single-households which equates to the equivalent of 0.51
acres of parkland.
In addition, the specific preference of the developer (Section 38.27.030.A.2, BMC) is to improve
the dedicated parkland above minimum standards to offset the requirements of Section
38.27.080, BMC. Minimum park development standards include leveling the ground, amending
the soil, planting and establishing ground cover, and installation of irrigation which includes a
water supply well.
Section 38.27.060, BMC details park frontage requirements. The City requires dedicated
parkland to have frontage along 100 percent of its perimeter on public or private streets or roads.
The city may consider and approve the installation of streets along less than 100 percent, but not
less than 50 percent, of the perimeter when:
1. Necessary due to topography, the presence of critical lands, or similar site constraints;
and
2. When direct pedestrian access is provided to the perimeters without street frontage; and
3. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking
which would have otherwise been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets
and the additional land is developed as a parking area; or
4. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking
which would have been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets and, in lieu
of the constructed parking area, an equivalent dollar value of non-parking improvements
within the park are provided according to the individual park plan.
The proposed park has 50 percent frontage. The subject property is geographically constrained
by the existing street layout. The proposed park adjoins the existing park area dedicated with the
Valley Meadows subdivision to the east. Together the public park area front public streets on
three sides.
In addition, as elaborated below under the preliminary plat supplement Street, Road, and Alleys
section, due to the linear configuration of the property park frontage greater than 50 percent
would create a non-functioning street network system and seriously compromise development of
the property. The City of Bozeman on-street parking design standards requires 24 linear feet of
curb per parking space. Excluding vision triangles and adding the park frontage factor 8
vehicular parking spaces are lost due to the 50% park frontage condition. The Recreation and
117
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 21 of 31
Parks Department estimates the value of each parking space at $1,166. Therefore, the required
area for six parking spaces is valued at $6,996.
Detailed Park Plan:
118
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 22 of 31
The review authority may determine whether the park dedication must be a land dedication, cash
donation in-lieu of land dedication or a combination of both. When making this determination,
the review authority shall consider the following:
1. The desirability and suitability of land for parks and playgrounds based on size,
topography, shape, location or other circumstances; and
2. The expressed preference of the developer.
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) subdivision reviewed the proposal on
February 11, 2016. Based on site specific considerations the RPAB recommended the City
Commission adopt the proposed park plan with improvements-in-lieu. Park staff, RPAB, and
Planning staff find the proposed package of improvements consistent with the Park Recreation
Open Space and Trails plan, the letter and intent of Article 38.27, BMC, and the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act. The RPAB provided the following comments on the proposal:
1. Given the small number of developable lots for this infill project, and given that the
proposed parkland is sited adjacent to the previously platted Valley Meadows Park, and
that the developer is proposing to provide additional improvements beyond the code
required minimum, we find the acreage provided acceptable.
2. The petitioner has proposed to provide a basketball court in addition to the required
standard park improvements. We feel this will provide a good compliment to the
proposed park improvements for the Valley Meadows Subdivision, but would like to see
at least one park bench provided. We also feel one park sign should be provided the park
properties, with a single name for them in aggregate. Director Overton indicated that if
the park sign is installed, the department would install the signage graphic. (Note: Given
that North Meadows Park is only a few blocks to the east and Valley Unit Park is a few
blocks to the east, a name that will not be confused with the other parks that is acceptable
to the City should be selected – cp.)
3. The Committee feels that the shortage of street frontage is not a serious detriment to the
proposed park given the context and that we have been more flexible with other infill
projects in the past.

4) The effect on the Natural environment
No significant physical or topographical features have been identified, (e.g., outcroppings,
geological formations, steep slopes), on the subject property. Provisions will be made to address
the control of noxious weeds and maintenance of the property and will be further addressed by
inclusion in the existing protective covenants and compliance with the recommended conditions
of approval. Infill development with municipal services has fewer impacts on the natural
environment than development on urban fringes or in rural areas.
5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat
The subject property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman
Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential development has been used for residential
purposes. Although there are incidental small animals residing on this and adjacent property,
infill development within the City limits will occur.
6) The effect on Public health and safety
The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare. The subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC which
has determined that it is in general compliance with the title. Any conditions deemed necessary
to ensure compliance have been noted throughout this staff report. In addition, all subdivisions
must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont Code Ann. The Department
of Community Development has reviewed this application against the listed criteria and provides
the following summary for submittal materials and requirements.
Preliminary Plat Supplements
A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC on December 23, 2015.
With the pre-application plan review application, waivers were requested by the applicant from
Section 38.41.060 “Additional Subdivision Preliminary Plat Supplements” for several of the
standard preliminary plat supplements due to the nature of the property. The DRC granted a
120
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 24 of 31
partial waiver to the supplemental information under 38.41.060, BMC is granted with this pre-
application plan review application for:
1) Surface Water,
2) Floodplains,
5) Vegetation,
6) Wildlife,
7) Historical Features,
8) Agriculture,
9) Agricultural Water User Facilities,
and
17) Neighborhood center plan.
Waivers to the supplemental information for the following were not granted:
3) Groundwater, and
4) Geology-soils-slopes,
10) Water and Sewer,
11) Stormwater management,
12) Streets, roads and alleys,
13) Utilities,
14) Educational Facilities,
15) Land use,
16) Parks and recreational facilities,
18) Lighting plan,
19) Miscellaneous, and
20) Affordable Housing,
Staff offers the following summary comments on the supplemental information required with
Article 38.41, BMC.
38.41.060.A.1 Surface Water
Supplemental groundwater information was granted a waiver to the supplemental information
requirement by the pre-application process. There is no surface water on or immediately
adjacent to the subject property.
38.41.060.A.2 Floodplains
Supplemental groundwater information was granted a waiver to the supplemental information
requirement by the pre-application process. There is no surface water on or immediately
adjacent to the subject property.
38.41.060.A.3 Groundwater
Groundwater tends to be moderately high in the area. Ground Water Information Center well
logs indicate static water levels range from six to eight feet below ground surface. City sanitary
sewer and water are proposed for the development. Surface runoff will be controlled by
channeling flows into a retention basin designed to filter sediments and oil, which will reduce the
potential for contamination.
Mitigation for potential high groundwater includes home construction limitations in the
covenants and connection to central sewer and water connection to the City of Bozeman (see
Condition 34.
38.41.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes
121
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 25 of 31
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. There are no known geologic hazards associated
with the site. The property is relatively flat minimizing geologic hazards.
38.41.060.A.5 Vegetation
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. No significant or critical vegetation exists on the
subject property. Noxious weeds are being controlled by the required Noxious Weed
Management Plan. In addition, there are ongoing performance measures required with the Weed
Management Plan to insure control of noxious weeds on site.
38.41.060.A.6 Wildlife
Supplement information waived by the DRC. This is a developing urban area. The subject
property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan.
The area is zoned for residential development has been used for residential purposes. Although
there are incidental small animals residing on this and adjacent property infill development
within the City limits will occur.
38.41.060.A.7 Historical Features
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. This is a developing urban area. There are no
known cultural resources or historical structures existing on the site.
38.41.060.A.8 Agriculture
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. This is a developing area and this property is not
used for agriculture.
38.41.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. There are no agricultural water user facilities on
or adjacent to the subject property.
38.41.060.A.10 Water and Sewer
Water for domestic and fire protection will be provided by connections to the City of Bozeman
water system. Water for domestic use and fire protection will be provided by connections to the
City of Bozeman water system. The proposed water mains will connect to existing water mains
in Durston Road, Villard Street, and Meriwether Avenue. Water rights or cash-in-lieu thereof
will be transferred with final plat.
Sanitary sewer service will be provided through connection to the City of Bozeman’s existing
sanitary sewer collection system. The proposed sewer collection system will connect to existing
pipe located under Meriwether Avenue and connect the existing system within the Durston Road
right of way.
Additional water and sewer lines will be constructed to serve each individual lot. The City
Engineering Department has reviewed the plans. City Engineering conditioned the subdivision
122
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 26 of 31
that all water and sewer service lines shall be located in the standard location as approved by the
water/sewer superintendent.
38.41.060.A.11 Stormwater Management
Storm water facilities will be located within Common Open Space located in the north end of the
subject property. Stormwater facilities will be sized appropriately to meet minimum capacity
standards. The location will be identified as “common areas” on the final plat that are owned
and maintained by the homeowner’s association. All storm water facility outlet structures will
be properly landscaped and a minimum distance of not less than ten (10) feet from any
watercourse high water mark will be required. Placement and design of the facilities will be
approved by both the City Engineer’s Office and Planning Office.
38.41.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys
Primary access will be provided by Durston Road, which is defined as minor arterial according
to the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan, 2007 Update. This section of Durston Road
has been constructed to a minor arterial standard. Secondary access will be provided by an
extension of Villard Street from the east which is being constructed by the Valley Meadows
development.
Durston Road’s current classification requires 100 feet of right of way (or 50 feet on each side of
center line). In previous transportation plans minor arterials only required 90 feet of dedicated
right of way (or 45 feet on each side of center line). During the Pre-App phase of the subdivision
the applicant requested that the subdivision only dedicate 45 feet in order to match the dedication
of the surrounding development. The City Engineer reviewed this request, and per BMC section
38.34.010.D allowed 45 feet of dedicated right of way for Durston Road
Valley Drive is currently constructed to an unknown County gravel standard. Pine Meadows is
required to improve Valley Drive adjacent to their property boundary. These improvements
include a 31 foot wide asphalt surface with side walk, curb and gutter on the east side of the
street. No additional road improvements will be completed on the west side of the street.
Additionally, no improvements will take place outside the existing road right-of-way. All
improvements will be constructed in one phase prior to final plat approval. To mitigate impacts
caused by the development on adjacent properties the City is requiring that the street section not
increase runoff to the County properties. See Condition No. 36.
Section 38.23.040.B, BMC states that “Block length shall not be designed, unless otherwise
impractical, to be more than 400 feet in length or less than 300 feet in length. Block lengths can
be longer than 400 feet if necessary due to topography, the presence of critical lands, access
control, or adjacency to existing parks or open space. In no case shall a block exceed 1,320 feet
in length.” Measuring from north to south, block lengths are 636 and 582 feet respectively.
Considering the site boundaries, layout of adjacent subdivisions, and existing infrastructure, it is
impractical to provide block length less than 400 feet. The east/west transportation network is
established with Durston Road to the north, West Villard Street bisecting the property, and West
123
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 27 of 31
Babcock Street further to the south. Due to the incremental annexation of the area and historical
development of the neighborhood the criteria set forth under Section 38.23.040.B, are met to
allow block length to exceed 400 feet.
As part of the street infrastructure lighting must be installed. The physical installation of the
lights is done by the developer. A special improvement lighting district is formed to provide for
the maintenance and operation of the lights over time. Condition 15 requires the use of LED
lighting fixtures. This does not modify the pole heights or similar physical performance features.
LED street light fixtures have been tested by the City and found to have better performance with
lower power consumption and less frequent failures and required maintenance than the standard
lights. Therefore, as the residents of the subdivision will be responsible for paying for the
ongoing expenses of the lighting, it is appropriate for the City to ensure that the most efficient
and best performing lighting is installed to reduce ongoing costs and ensure that the level of
service is maintained.
38.41.060.A.13 Utilities
All private utilities servicing the subdivision will be installed underground. The DRC and local
review agencies did not identify any potential impacts and/or concerns with providing private
utilities to the subdivision. The final plat shall provide public utility easements along all front,
side and rear lot lines as required by Section 38.23.050, BMC.
However, in the event front and/or rear yard utility easements are used, side yard easements must
still be provided on the plat unless written confirmation is submitted to the Planning Office from
all utility companies and Director of Public Works indicating that front and rear yard 10-foot
wide easements are adequate to service said subdivision lots.
38.41.060.A.14 Educational Facilities
The Valley Meadows subdivision is within the Bozeman School District. A written request for
comment was sent to the Bozeman school District. No response was provided.
38.41.060.A.15 Land Use
The 18 proposed lots comply with the existing zoning designation of R-1. All lots are proposed
as single household residential lots. Open Space is provided at the northern edge of the site around the stormwater retention pond, which is provided for drainage from the public street right
of ways. Pine Meadow is a low density infill development converting vacant land with one
existing single household on 4.104 acres into 18 residential lots.
38.41.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities
The Applicant proposed a hybrid of parkland dedication and improvements in-lieu of parkland
dedication for the development. Pursuant to Section 38.27.020, BMC 0.03 acres per dwelling
unit shall be required. The subdivision consists of 17 additional lots which require 0.51 acres of
parkland dedication. Comments from the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) based
on the pre-application review suggested numerous revisions to the proposed park plan. The
124
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 28 of 31
applicant revised their parkland proposal with the preliminary plat application. The RPAB
supports the hybrid approach of meeting the required parkland dedication including dedicated
parkland and improvement-in-lieu of parkland on February 11, 2016. The PRAB report is
attached to this report.
A full analysis and discussion can be found under the Local Services primary criteria evaluation
above.
The review authority may determine whether the park dedication must be a land dedication, cash
donation in-lieu of land dedication or a combination of both. When making this determination,
the review authority shall consider the following:
3. The desirability and suitability of land for parks and playgrounds based on size,
topography, shape, location or other circumstances; and
4. The expressed preference of the developer.
Also see primary review criteria for parklands discussion above for additional discussion.
38.41.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan
Supplemental information was waived by the DRC during the pre-application process. A neighborhood center is not required for this development. Pursuant to Section 38.23.020.A,
BMC, only residential developments that are ten net acres in size or greater, shall have a
neighborhood center. The proposed park would meet many of the performance standards for a
neighborhood center.
38.41.060.A.18 Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required pursuant to Section 38.23.150.B, BMC. A lighting plan
will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to the contracting, creation of an S.I.L.D.
and installation of lights (Condition 11). The plan shall include a pole light detail with spacing
based on high pedestrian conflict, a local street pole light at one per local street intersection, and
a bollard light detail for placement at pathway/street intersections. All street lights installed shall
use LED light heads lights, including bollard light, and shall conform to the City’s requirement
for cut-off shields.
38.41.060.A.19 Miscellaneous
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The subdivision will not impact access to any
public lands and there are no identified hazards in proximity to the subject property.
38.41.060.A.20 Affordable Housing
Supplemental information waived by the DRC. The Workforce Housing Ordinance (Ordinance
1710) had been suspended by the City Commission. Subsequently, the City has adopted an
inclusionary housing ordinance. This project does not count towards the City’s affordable
housing goals.
125
16041, Staff Report for the Pine Meadow Major Subdivision Page 29 of 31
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned R-1 (Residential Single Household District).
The intent of the R-1 residential single-household low density district is to provide for primarily
single-household residential development and related uses within the city at urban densities, and
to provide for such community facilities and services as will serve the area's residents while
respecting the residential character and quality of the area.
Pursuant to Section 38.08.080, BMC, minimum net density in the R-1 District is five dwellings
per net acre. A minimum is required to support efficiency in use of land and provision of
municipal services, and to advance the purposes and goals of this chapter and the adopted growth
policy. The development proposes creating 18 single household lots on 3.435 net acres or a net
density of 5.24 units per acres. The elimination of one lot would result in a density below the
minimum requirement.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman Community Plan. The Plan
indicates that “This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density
dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low
intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential
areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of
services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile.
Implementation of this category by residential zoning should provide for and coordinate
intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation
indicates that it is expected that development will occur within municipal boundaries, which may
require annexation prior to development.”
The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings per
net acre.
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description
A preliminary plat for a major subdivision to create 18 single household residential lots, one (1)
common open space lot, and one (1) park with the extension of West Villard Street and
improvements to Valley Drive on 4.104 acres.

submitted application to subdivide an existing parcel to create 18 single-household residential
lots with park, open space, and right-of-ways. Parkland will be provided by parkland dedication
and improvements in-lieu of parkland dedication.
Project Background
The subject properties were annexed into the City of Bozeman (Resolution No. 4501) as the Pine
Meadows Annexation Agreement (Document No. 2440460) dated February 12, 2013.
A pre-application was submitted on December 2, 2015. Based on comments received from the
Development Review Committee and the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, and Planning
the Applicant made appropriate modification to the proposed subdivision and submitted a
Preliminary Plat Application on January 26, 2016.
APPENDIX C – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
A subdivision pre-application was submitted on December 2, 2015. The pre-application was
reviewed by the DRC on December 16 and 23, 2015 and summary review comments were
forwarded to the applicant in preparation of the preliminary plat application and granted
numerous supplemental information waivers under 38.41.060, BMC.
A preliminary plat application was submitted on January 26, 2016. The application was not
acceptable for initial review. After the receipt of additional information required by Title 38 of
the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) on February 5, 2016 the application was deemed
acceptable for initial review on February 5, 2016. The preliminary plat was reviewed by the
DRC on February 17 and March 2, 2016. The DRC and Staff determined the submittal
contained detailed, supporting information that is sufficient to allow for the review of the
proposed subdivision on March 2, 2016. Both the RPAB and the DRC provided favorable
recommendation was forwarded for consideration by the City Commission.
Public notice for this application was placed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Sunday, March
20, 2016. The site was posted with a public notice on March 16, 2016. Public notice was sent to
adjacent property owners via certified mail, and to all other property owners of record within 200
feet of the subject property via first class mail, on March 16, 2016.
On March 30, 2016 this major subdivision staff report was drafted and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval by the Planning Director for consideration by the
Planning Board. The Planning Board is scheduled to consider and make recommendation to the
City Commission on April 5, 2016 at 7:00 pm. On April 18, 2016 at 6:00 pm the City
Commission will hold a public hearing and make the final decision the application. The final
decision for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat must be made within 60 working days of the

Pine Meadow Subdivision
Project Narrative
The Pine Meadow subdivision consists of 18 residential lots, one common open space, and one
park (expansion) parcel on a total area of 4.104 acres that is zoned R-1 (Residential single-
household low density). The neighborhood layout has been designed to connect to the adjacent
street and park network. Adjacent planned uses include R-1 zoning to the north (Harvest Creek
Subdivision Phase 5) and east (Valley Meadows Subdivision) with county lots to the west and
south.
The proposed project is located along Valley Drive which is currently a gravel road built to
county standards. The immediately adjacent properties to the west of the project along Valley
Drive are not annexed into the City. The proposed Pine Meadow property, in its entirety, has
been annexed. It is the most significant section of property already annexed along Valley Drive
to date. Several unique conditions present a variety of physical and significant financial
challenges for the relatively small “one-sided” project.
Due to the proximity of the future Valley Meadow Park to the east, we located our dedicated
park parcel immediately adjacent which will act as expansion. Our park requirement calculation
is based on 17 lots as a result of one lot/residence being existing. Due to the relative size of the
project, we would like to proceed with a similar format as Valley Meadows using a combination
of land dedication and cash/improvements-in-lieu. Note: Valley Meadows provided
approximately 40% of required park as land. Of the 0.51 acres required (17 lots * 0.3 acres/lot),
we would provide approximately 0.375 acres (74% of required) with the remaining area value in
improvements. An appraisal has been ordered and the information will be submitted for
approval and further calculations will be completed once the information is received, reviewed
and approved.
Due to a variety of layout and adjacency issues, the Public Park plan does not provide 100% park
street frontage. As noted above, the park has been designed to be an expansion of the existing
dedicated parkland for Valley Meadow Subdivision. Park frontage is provided along Valley
Drive and West Villard Street, which serves as 50% functional frontage. Cash/improvements-in-
lieu will account for the equivalent of maximum frontage parking areas as is required.
Existing water, sewer, and storm drain utilities are located in the Durston Road right-of-way and
are proposed to be connected to as part of the subdivision infrastructure development. Water
will be looped through the subdivision and connected to existing water mains in the Villard
Street right-of-way that were extended with the Valley Meadows Subdivision. Water and sewer
infrastructure will be extended to the south property line of the subdivision. A landscaped open
space storm water detention pond will be located on the north end of the project. A landscape
land has been included with this application.
129
Adjacent existing uses include:
North: Harvest Creek (zoned R1)
South and West: Pleasant Valley (County)
East: Valley Meadow (zoned R4)
There is one potential deviation request with this Preliminary Plat application. The developer,
City of Bozeman Public Works Department, and City of Bozeman Engineering Department have
been, and will be working to try and get the eight lots west of Pine Meadow to annex into the
City of Bozeman. A requirement of this annexation would be to participate in a Special
Improvements District (SID) that would include a portion of the infrastructure improvements
they benefit from. If this is successful, a typical 31-foot wide city road will be constructed to the
south end of the subdivision. If the lots to the west choose not to annex into the City, the City of
Bozeman Engineering Department noted during the pre-application review (Pine Meadow Major
Sub Pre-App #15-561, dated 12-30-15, from Shawn Kohtz) their support of a reduced street
width to better match the county lots and driveways to the west. The subdivision would
essentially be maintaining the county feel of the west side of the street. This reduced street width
would require a deviation from the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy,
Section IV, Roadway Design and Technical Criteria. The two possible road designs can be
found in the Design Report. The developer would like to move forward with this application
assuming the full street width will be constructed, but would like to reserve the right for a
possible deviation if annexation does not occur.
Please refer to the attached application package for additional details.

C. A written statement describing any requested subdivision variance(s) and the facts of hardship upon which the request is based. Refer to Chapter 38.35 (Variance, Deviation, and Appeal Procedures), BMC
The only deviation request at this time is that the boulevard width on both sides of
Valley Drive be five feet as shown on the Master Utility Plan. The reason for this request is to preserve existing trees on the property.
There is one other potential deviation request with this Preliminary Plat
application. The developer, City of Bozeman Public Works Department, and City
of Bozeman Engineering Department have been, and will be working to try and get the eight lots west of Pine Meadow to annex into the City of Bozeman. A
142
requirement of this annexation would be to participate in a Special Improvements District (SID) that would include a portion of the infrastructure improvements
they benefit from. If this is successful, a typical 31-foot wide city road will be
constructed from Durston Road to the south end of the subdivision. If the lots to
the west choose not to annex into the City, the City of Bozeman Engineering Department noted during the pre-application review (Pine Meadow Major Sub Pre-App #15-561, dated 12-30-15, from Shawn Kohtz) their support of a reduced
street width to better match the county lots and driveways to the west. The
subdivision would essentially be maintaining the county character of the west side
of the street. This reduced finished street width would require a deviation from the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy, Section IV, Roadway Design and Technical Criteria. The two possible road designs can be
found in the Design Report. The developer would like to move forward with this
application assuming the full street width will be constructed, but would like to
reserve the right for a possible deviation if annexation does not occur. D. Covenants, Restrictions and Articles of Incorporation for the Property Owners’
Association
See information on HOA Documents (Tab 12) E. Encroachment permits or a letter indicating intention to issue a permit where new
streets, easements, rights-of-way or driveways intersect State, County, or City
highways, streets or roads
No encroachment permits are required (N/A). Dedicated right-of-way is provided on the preliminary plat for connection to existing City streets. The approval of
the preliminary plat will act as the permit to encroach on city streets. See
information on Preliminary Plat (Tab 4)
F. A letter of approval or preliminary approval from the City of Bozeman where a zoning changes is necessary
A zoning change is not being requested (N/A)
G. A draft of such other appropriate certificates

13. ADDITIONAL SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT SUPPLEMENTS
A. Surface Water Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. A topographic survey was conducted on the property
along with a site reconnaissance trip, there are no surface waters on the proposed
property.
B. Floodplains
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. The proposed property is surrounded by existing
development. See City of Bozeman flooding map for further information.
C. Groundwater
Four test pits were excavated on the property on October 2, 2015. During
excavation of these test pits, groundwater was encounter in two of the test pits at
8.0 and 9.1 feet below ground surface. One test pit excavated down to 10.1 did not encounter any ground water. Long term monitoring has not been conducted
for the site. Additional research of surrounding ground water wells indicates
static water levels between 6 and 10.5 feet which is consistent with our test pits.
Depending on final home elevations, basements may be acceptable and should be
determined on a case by case basis. Construction of basements should account for ground water if necessary.
144
D. Geology; Soils; Slopes
The site is geologically characterized as containing upper tertiary sediment
according to the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG), Geologic Map of Montana. Generally, the surface is composed of varying thicknesses of silt and or clay deposits overlying alluvial fan deposits of well-graded, gravel with sand.
The gravel is predominately subrounded to angular and contains cobbles and
minor amounts of silt and/or clay. Reportedly, the local alluvial fan deposits
extend down to as much as 165 feet.
Figure 1. Geologic Map of Bozeman Area (MBMG 2007)
Site specific test pits were also conducted for the project. Based on the test pits,
the site is composed of 1.4 to 2.7 feet of topsoil and lean clay over relatively
dense poorly-graded gravel with clay. Based on the topographic survey of the
property, the site slopes towards the north at approximately 1.3 percent. The site is best described as nearly level. Cuts and fills over three feet are not
anticipated.
E. Vegetation
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. After development, the majority of vegetation will be
lawn, shrubs, and boulevard trees typical of residential subdivision with the
exception of the open space corridor along Durston Road. Refer to the Park
Master Plan (Tab 15) for additional information.
145
F. Wildlife
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum dated December 23, 2015. The proposed project is located within previously
developed City and County land. There is little chance for wildlife to access the
site without first crossing considerable areas of developed land. The property
contains very few large established trees that would support significant wildlife. G. Historic Features
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. No historic or cultural sites were discovered during the survey and site investigation. State requirements will be followed if historical findings are discovered during site preparation and construction.
H. Agriculture
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum dated December 23, 2015. There are currently no agricultural operations in the
vicinity of this project. The property has not been part of a viable farm unit in the
recent past and was not under production under the last regular season. It has
been unused land for at least 5 years. I. Agricultural Water User Facilities
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. No historical agricultural ditches or related agricultural facilities/equipment were discovered during the site investigation and
survey.
J. Water and Sewer
Please refer to the Preliminary Engineering Design Report (Tab 8). Water and
Sewer improvements will be designed to meet City of Bozeman Standards and
Regulations.
K. Stormwater Management
Please refer to the Preliminary Engineering Design Report (Tab 8). Stormwater
improvements will be designed to meet City of Bozeman Standards and
Regulations.
146
L. Streets, Roads and Alleys
Description
Internal subdivision roads (Valley Drive and Villard Street) in Pine Meadow are
proposed to have the following characteristics:
60-foot right-of-way (standard)
Standard City of Bozeman Curb and Gutter
31 feet from back of curb to back of curb (Valley Drive)
35 feet from back of curb to back of curb (Villard Street)
15-foot curb radii at intersection streets (standard)
City of Bozeman maintained streets (standard)
Some of the items above are subject to the existing lots west of Pine Meadow annexing into the City of Bozeman (see Item C above).
Access to Arterials
Lots will not have direct access to arterials. A 1-foot “No Access” strip is shown on the Preliminary Plat (Tab 4).
Modification of Existing Streets, Roads or Alleys
The existing intersection at Durston Road and Valley Drive will be rebuilt to accommodate the standard local road width heading south on Valley Drive.
Dust
All streets and roads will be paved. It is possible a gravel shoulder will be constructed on the west side of the road if the existing lots west of Valley Drive
do not annex into the City of Bozeman.
Pollution and Erosion
A stormwater detention basin will be constructed to handle storm water runoff
and to provide sediment removal. Roads will be maintained by the City of
Bozeman.
Installation and Maintenance
Subdivision roads will be installed per the Montana Public Works Standard
Specifications (MPWSS). Maintenance will be conducted by the City of
Bozeman.
147
Traffic Generation and Capacity
Please refer to Pine Meadow Traffic Study in Tab 13.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Pathways, Lanes, and Routes Interior local streets will be built to Bozeman standard widths (31 feet back of
curb to back of curb). Additional information can be found in the Park Master
Plan (Tab 15).
M. Utilities
Letters including the subdivision preliminary plat have been submitted to Charter
Communications, Northwestern Energy, and CenturyLink. See Agency Letters /
Correspondence (Tab 10). N. Educational Facilities
The Bozeman School District indicated its facilities and bus system should be
able to handle the additional students created by Pine Meadow. The subdivision preliminary plat has been submitted to Bozeman School District #7. Comments from Todd Swinehart can be found in Tab 10.
O. Land Use
Pine Meadow will result in 18 single family lots, one open space parcel used for storm water detention, and a dedicated park.
P. Parks and Recreation Facilities
Due to the proximity of the future Valley Meadow Park to the east, we located our
dedicated park parcel immediately adjacent which will act as expansion. Our park
requirement calculation is based on 17 lots as a result of one lot/residence being
existing. Due to the relative size of the project, we would like to proceed with a
similar format as Valley Meadows using a combination of land dedication and cash/improvements-in-lieu. Note: Valley Meadows provided approximately 40%
of required park as land. Of the 0.51 acres required (17 lots * 0.3 acres/lot), we
would provide approximately 0.375 acres (74% of required) with the remaining
area value in improvements. An appraisal has been ordered and the information
will be submitted for approval and further calculations will be completed once the information is received, reviewed and approved.
Due to a variety of layout and adjacency issues, the Public Park plan does not
provide 100% park street frontage. As noted above, the park has been designed to
be an expansion of the existing dedicated parkland for Valley Meadow Subdivision. Park frontage is provided along Valley Drive and West Villard
148
Street, which serves as 50% functional frontage. Cash/improvements-in-lieu will account for the equivalent of maximum frontage parking areas as is required.
Q. Neighborhood Center Plan
Waived per City of Bozeman Development Review Committee Memorandum
dated December 23, 2015. The subdivision is under 10 acres and no neighborhood center is anticipated for this development.
R. Lighting Plan
Please see Tab 9 for lighting information. Intersections will be lighted as required by the City of Bozeman. Lighting for the intersection of Valley Drive and Durston Road already exists. One new light fixture at the intersection of Valley
Drive and Villard Street is proposed – a HAPCO steel round light pole and Philips
GARDCO LED luminaire.
S. Affordable Housing
Whereas providing affordable housing is not a current requirement of subdivision, it should be noted that the 17 newly created lots are smaller in nature and good
candidates for entry level and/or modest new single household residences.
T. Miscellaneous Public Lands
Access to public lands including the Valley Unit Park and Harvest Creek Park,
among others, currently exist on Durston Road. The proposed City Park will have direct access from dedicated local roads.
Hazards
There are no known hazards affecting this subdivision.

Project Location and History
Pine Meadow subdivision is located at the intersection of Durston and Valley Drive in Bozeman.
The park is bounded on two sides by West Villard Street and Valley Drive. The land that makes
up the Pine Meadow Park has been used primarily for grazing for many years and has recently
been left to grow with occasional mowing. The site is predominately grass, an existing gravel
road and one existing residence.
Project Scope
The Pine Meadow Park Master Plan is comprised of one dedicated park space providing passive
and active recreation opportunities for all surrounding residents. Pine Meadow Park will
feature a basketball court as well as a basic level of improvements including shade trees, lawn
grass and irrigation. The primary purpose of this document is to describe the initial level of
development and maintenance of the park space.
Guiding Ideas:
Effectively expand adjacent park planned to the east.
Provide connections between residential neighborhoods and park area.
Provide variety in recreation experiences and opportunities
Provide areas for passive and active recreation
Promote sense of community within the development and with surrounding
neighborhoods
Parkland Requirements
Required Provided (acres) Remaining (acres)
Parkland: 0.51 .375 .135
Dedicated Parkland
The park dedication is comprised of .375 acres of dedicated parkland. The Pine Meadow Park
will seek to satisfy all of its Parkland Dedications through a combination of dedicated parkland
containing the site amenities above, along with providing improvements-in-lieu of land
dedication. In-Lieu improvements include additional shade trees and a basketball court.
The following section outlines the installation and maintenance of the dedicated park area and
park amenities for Final Plat filings. The plan puts emphasis on open, maintained areas for
passive and active recreation while providing a space for community gatherings and events to
promote the neighborhood feel for the surrounding residents.
Parkland Amenities
The development of parkland amenities will be completed during the initial phase of
construction by the developer as necessary to meet the Parks Master Plan goals. The current
list of planned amenities include:
168
Pine Meadow January 2016
Park Master Plan DRAFT
3
1. Open lawn space
2. Youth Basketball Court
3. Shade Trees
Neighborhood Center
The park parcel will be designated as a Neighborhood Center for the development and
surrounding neighborhoods. The park will feature a youth basketball court, shade trees and
open grass area. Additionally, 4 sidewalks lead to this park. The east property line of Pine
Meadow Park abuts a new park in the adjacent development. These two parks will create a
neighborhood center for the homes in the immediate vicinity. No pavilion or structure is
planned at this time.
Project Phasing
Implementation of the Park Space will be conducted at one time. There is no planned phasing
of development.
Financing: If the timing of parkland improvements does not line up with the Final Plat timeline;
they will be bonded for in accordance with City of Bozeman requirements.
Construction: Any and all site work (including trails) must be preceded by a preconstruction
meeting with the City of Bozeman. All plans, improvements, structures and plantings must be
approved by the City prior to installation. Building Permits are required for any structural
improvements. Any deviation from the Park Master Plan must be submitted to the City and
approved before construction.
Vegetation
All vegetation shall be quality nursery stock and construction documents will dictate further
specifications and species selection. A variety of species shall be selected to ensure that a pest
or disease event does not decimate the entire project. Trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants will
be chosen for their size, hardiness and aesthetic nature. Plants used will be regionally native
and/or adapted to the extent possible.
Trees
All trees are subject to approval by the City of Bozeman. Tree selection should be based on the
recommended species list provided by the City of Bozeman. Tree size and selection shall be
varied in order to create visual interest and a varied genetic palette.
Recommended Tree List
Colorado Blue Spruce
Freeman Maple
Thornless Common Honeylocust
Spring Snow Crabapple
Patmore Green Ash

Grasses
Herbaceous seed mixes will be dictated by the construction documents. In general, turf areas
will receive a Kentucky bluegrass mix. All areas disturbed by construction will be properly
prepared and seeded with a narrow spacing drill seeder. Before seeding, the soil shall be
loosened to a minimum depth of six inches in order to improve initial root development. The
soil will not be compacted in any manner. Sufficient compaction is readily achieved through the
grading process and normal rainfall. Fertilizer should be applied prior to planting to insure
healthy plant development.
Recommended Turf Grass Mix (Dedicated Parkland and Boulevards)
Pennfine Perennial Rye 30%
Glade Kentucky Bluegrass 30%
Baron Kentucky Bluegrass 30%
Pennlawn Creeping Red Fescue 10%
Recommended Native Grass Mix (Native Grass Berming / Openspace)
Common Name Scientific Name Pounds/Acre*
Slender wheatgrass Agropyron trachycaulum 4.0
“Sodar” streambank wheatgrass Agropyron riparium 5.0
Canada wildrye Elymus Canadensis 4.0
Covar sheep fescue Festuca ovina 1.0
Western wheatgrass Agropryon smithii 4.0
*Based on a drill-seeding rate of approximately 18.0 pounds PLS (pure live seed) per acre.
The rates will be doubled for hand broadcast seeding, which is 36.0 pounds PLS per acre.
Irrigation
All irrigation systems will be designed to meet City of Bozeman requirements.
Irrigation systems will be compatible with Maxicom systems. All water lines shall be schedule
40 PVC. Pipe shall be installed at a minimum depth of twelve (12) inches, main lines at eighteen
inch minimum depth. If this depth is unachievable, the Parks Division must be consulted. No
stacking of irrigation lines shall be permitted. Four (4) inches of sand shall be placed beneath
pipe, and four (4) inches of sand above the pipe, to prevent compaction and settling. Sprinkler
heads will be installed on manufactured swing joints (schedule 80 w/ o-rings). Heads to be
installed must be approved by the Parks Division and shall be gear driven, with interchangeable
nozzle sizes, unless noted otherwise, and shall be capable of producing the specified GPM and
coverage area and shall be set to manufacturers’ specifications. Electrical locate tape shall be
installed along all lines. Upon completion of installation, all warranty and maintenance
information, as well as well logs and pump warranties and information, if applicable, and an
“as- built” map shall be supplied to the City of Bozeman Parks Division and HOA.

Soils
All soils to be used on public park land shall be inspected by and meet the approval of City of
Bozeman Parks Division Staff prior to installation and shall meet the minimum depth
requirement of 8 inches. All rock in excess of 1 inch in diameter shall be removed. Soil tests (a
sieve analysis and soil analysis) shall be performed prior to planting to determine the
classification and texture of the soils, along with any nutrient deficiencies. The classification and
texture will determine what amendments, if any, are needed, while the soil analysis will help
correct any nutrient problems with a pre-plant fertilization.
* Guidelines for soils - The soil will be deemed acceptable if: it is less than 35% clay and less
than 70% sand, and 70% silt. Ph must not exceed 8.4. The soil will be screened at 1” minus for
rocks and debris; topsoil depth will be at least 8 inches. The sub base, after grading, will be
scarified to a depth of twelve inches to insure drainage throughout the profile.
Amendments may vary depending on existing soils, but will generally consist of 60% coarse
sand (generally concrete sand), 20% organics (C: N ratio below 30) and 20% approved native
soil. Soils will be mixed, prior to installation, with a screener / mixer machine, or applied in
layers on site and mixed thoroughly with a deep rototiller. Depth of amended soil will be a
minimum of ten (10) inches. There will be no compaction following the grading process.
Fertilizer, and the rate at which it will be applied, should be dictated by the soil test report.
Trails
There are currently no trails planned. Concrete sidewalks will provide pedestrian connections
from residences to the park land and open space dedications.
171
Pine Meadow January 2016

Maintenance
Responsible Party
The Association shall be responsible for liability insurance, local taxes and maintenance of
recreation and other facilities in the common space areas and park land.
The Association shall enter into an annual contract with a certified landscape nursery person for
upkeep and maintenance. The Association will be responsible for park maintenance until such
time a City wide Park Maintenance District is created. The Association shall also be responsible
for the maintenance of all common properties, paths and trails, facilities, centers, and adjacent
sidewalks and/or landscaping in street boulevards.
Maintenance will include the following as well as care and replacement of playground
equipment (CPSI approved) and/or site furnishings, replacement of doggie pick-up bags and
emptying of refuse containers. Any and all work and/or park fixtures must meet standards set
by the City Parks Division.
Trees and Shrubs
A contractor will be hired to perform park maintenance. Maintenance duties to be performed
will consist of spring and fall clean up, routine mowing, lawn patching, care and replacement of
dead trees and/or shrubs. All tree trimming and pruning must be performed by a certified
arborist as outlined in City Ordinance 12.30.040 in coordination with Forestry Division. All trees
on public property are subject to City of Bozeman permits and ordinances.
Trails
No trails are planned at this time.
Turf Care
Native grass areas should be mowed 3-4 times per year dependent on rainfall levels. The first
mowing should occur at the end of May, and the second time should take place around mid-
July, with the final mowing in Mid-October.
Kentucky bluegrass areas should be maintained between 2"-4 1/2" and should receive
approximately 12" water between June 1st and late September. This translates to about 1"
water per week for lawn areas. Mowing will not be done during extremely wet periods or when
sub-grade is saturated or with standing water. Established lawns can receive a deep, but less
frequent watering in order to conserve and not over water.
Noxious Weed Control
A weed control program will be developed that conforms to the requirements of the City of
Bozeman, Gallatin County Wed Control Board Supervisor and NRCS. This program will consist
of an annual visit in June to spot spray where necessary, including trails and sidewalks. Weeds
will be sprayed by a licensed contractor, according to industry and local standards, on a regular
172
Pine Meadow January 2016
Park Master Plan DRAFT
7
basis, using appropriate applications and products. The utmost care will be taken to protect
water sources, park users and adjacent property owners. The City of Bozeman shall be notified
of any and all applications of pesticides and/or herbicide on public lands. Signs shall be posted
prior to application in appropriate and noticeable locations identifying the product applied and
the date applied. Signs will remain in place for a minimum of two days after treatment.
Records shall be maintained in accordance with State of Montana Pesticide Act, Administrative
Rule 4.10.207 and copies submitted to the City of Bozeman Parks Division.
Fertilization
Fertilization should be minimized to prevent unnecessarily high amounts of nutrients running
off into streams and wetlands on and off the site. No fertilizer should be applied within 50ft of
streams or wetlands to further minimize the potential for contamination through run-off. Trees
and shrubs inside the 50ft buffer should be monitored and if fertilization is necessary, capsule
fertilizer should be used.
Lawns should be fertilized once in spring with a 24-4-24 blend after the last frost and with a 21-
3-21 in made to late summer. It is recommended that slow release fertilizer be used to prevent
excessive shoot growth and to provide turf nutrition over and extended period of time. Lawns
should be fertilized according to manufacturer standards. Annual soil test should be performed
to check nutrient levels and determine whether changes are necessary.
Outside the 50ft buffer, shade trees should be fertilized in April with a 16-10-9 blend plus iron
and zinc. Other trees should be fertilized with food spikes but no fertilization of woody
vegetation should occur past mid-July. Trees under one year old should not be fertilized.
Evergreens should be pruned as necessary in June and shade tree pruning should be done in
April, except for birches. Birches should be pruned in mid-July. All trees should be continually
monitored for pests and diseases throughout the growing season. Woody vegetation should be
deep watered right before the ground freezes.
Snow and Leaf Removal
Snow removal will be provided within the park by a snow removal service retained by the
Neighborhood Association. Sidewalks must be cleared within 24 hours after the end of a
snowfall event per Bozeman Ordinance 1529. The Home Owner’s Association will be
responsible for clearing snow on sidewalks and on walks adjacent to Parks and Open Spaces as
well as the Basketball Court. Leaf removal will be provided most likely by a landscape
contractor or handyman service, as retained by the Neighborhood Association.
Irrigation System
The irrigation system should be charged in April, after the ground thaws and plants start
growing. The manual drain valves should be turned to the closed position and well pump
power switch turned on. The controller should be programmed for the anticipated water
requirements for the current month. All heads should be checked for breakage and proper
coverage and check on a monthly basis for necessary adjustments. Drip emitters should be
periodically checked and the inter system should be regularly monitored for line breaks, head
breakage and vandalism.
173
Pine Meadow January 2016
Park Master Plan DRAFT
8
Head replacement should be done with the same brand to ensure efficient coverage for
watering area and maintain working pressure and dispersal at an equal precipitation rate. The
height of heads should be checked to avoid damage from mowers or maintenance equipment.
Winterization should take place during the last week of October. Power to the well pump
should be shut off and all manual drain valves opened. To flush out the lines, a high power air
pump shall be connected to the quick coupler valves and air should be run through the system.
Each valve zone should be opened and closed until all water is completely flushed out, then the
controller should be turned off and water lift off until spring. Any necessary watering during
the winter months should be done with a tank to prevent damage to the irrigation system.
Animal Control
Pets should be leashed at all times while in the parks and open space and residents must clean
up after their pets. If rodents become a problem with regards to damaging plant material or
posing a health risk to residents or pots, rodent control should be utilized. However, no poison
is permitted on within parkland or open space areas.
Refuse
Refuse within the parks and open space will be collected weekly by a service retained by the
Neighborhood Association or the party responsible for maintenance.

RE: Pine Meadow Subdivision Preliminary Plat application #16-041
Honorable Members of the City of Bozeman Planning Board:
I, William C. Hower, living on the county end of Valley Drive am not a constituent of the City of Bozeman
and you may not feel that you are accountable to me for your actions. I am a resident of the County.
I will, however, hold you accountable should you approve the proposed subdivision 16-041 for the
increased auto traffic and my loss of quiet enjoyment as guaranteed by law due to its presence on the
county end of Valley Drive due to the inevitable traffic.
I do not understand what motivates folks to stack houses a la New York City nearly on top of each other
or what makes city planners give consideration to such folly especially when the land in question has
clear and long standing restrictive covenants recorded on its deed. Unless, that is, that motivation is
monetary, which I suspect exists.
The subject plat should have no more than seven (7) homes to be in harmony with the rest of Valley
Drive.
The quality of life for residents will be severely impacted by such overdevelopment and all parties to this
over development will be held accountable should the city and dev elopers continue to pursue
duplicating Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in Bozeman.
