Collins Site Plan Site Plan Review Comments Narrative Page 2 of 5 3. 38.320.030.C – Building height. The maximum allowable building height for a slope of 2:12 is 32’. For buildings with a 40’ height the roof slope must be 6:12 or greater but less than 9:12. This will require a redesign. Response: The Architect has indicated that this issue has been resolved with the Planner. 4. BMC 38.540.050.A.1.a – Parking. On-street parking.

Show existing facilities in the 12’ easement and do not plant trees on them Response: The underground power is now shown in the utility easement 3. Services for 3271 need to be on the north sides of the buildings and 3233 on the south sides of the buildings Response: The services are now shown on the north end of bldg 3271 and south end of bldg 3233 as requested. 4. Provide minimum 5’ separation between sewer/water and private utilities Response: The sewer service and private utilities are designed at 5’ apart Building Division; Bob Risk brisk@bozeman.net, 406-582-2377 1. The applicable building code is the 2018 IBC. Response: This condition is acknowledged 2. IBC Section 903.2.8, as amended by the State of Montana, requires fire sprinklers and alarm for a residential structure over two stories. Response: This condition is acknowledged Collins Site Plan Site Plan Review Comments Narrative Page 3 of 5 3. These units are 3 stories, so fire sprinklers and alarms are required.

The stormwater design report includes a reduction in required retention volume based on infiltration. The City’s design standard do long allow for this reduction. The calculations must be revised and the system increased as necessary prior to site plan approval. Response: The design report has been revised to not include a reduction in volume based on infiltration b. The maximum groundwater elevations must be included in the stormwater report and should be vetted by the engineering certifying the drainage design. Additionally, the subsurface systems are proposed to be deeper than the 3.5ft from the existing ground. Storage proposed below the seasonal high will not be considered in meeting the City’s storage requirements.
