Engineering Department 20 E. Olive Street Bozeman, MT 59718 RE: Concurrent Construction Request – Jennifer Place Condos Phase 1-5 Site Plan (COB #19-154, C & H #190065) Ms. Russell, Concurrent construction is requested for the Jennifer Place Condominiums Phase 1-5 Site Plan project with the public infrastructure to be installed. Water and Sewer main extensions are proposed to service the five two-unit condominiums for the project. By allowing concurrent construction building construction can be begin prior to the final completion and acceptance of the public infrastructure improvements. As described in BMC 38.27.030.C.I, provision of municipal central water distribution, municipal sanitary sewer collection systems, and streets means that the criteria in either subsection “a” or subsections “b” and “c” are met. Subsections “b” and “c” outline the following: (b) “The water mains, sewer mains and streets to be extended to provide service to the development are: located within a publicly dedicated right-of-way or easement; constructed to city standards; are physically adjacent to the site proposed for construction; are installed and accepted by the city; and are adequate in capacity to provide necessary service to the proposed development; and comply with the requirements of this subsection C.1.b and subsection C.1.c of this section;” (c) “Water mains, sewer mains and streets must meet the following requirements:” 1) Any required on-site extensions of water mains, sewer mains or streets to be dedicated to the public must be located entirely within publicly held easements or rights-of-way; must serve only a single lot; are the subject of an irrevocable offer of dedication to the city upon completion of the project; the development is under the control of a single developer who must retain control of the entire project until final completion; all work is under the supervision of a single general contractor; and no subdivision of land is involved; 2) The DRC must determine when the standards of this subsection C.1 are met. The fire department must consider whether adequate fire protection services are available from existing hydrants, and water supply exists to meet needs during construction. If adequate fire protection does not exist then concurrent infrastructure and building Civil/Structural Engineering and Surveying construction may only occur under the provisions of subsection C.1.c.(3) of this section. Based on evaluation by the fire department, simultaneous construction of infrastructure to be dedicated to the public and private construction may be permitted only within a defined portion of the site; 3) Approval of the final engineering design, including location and grade, for the infrastructure project must be obtained from the engineering department, and the state department of environmental quality when applicable, prior to issuance of any building permit for the development; and 4) No occupancy, either temporary or final, may be issued until all on-site and offsite water, sewer and street or drive improvements are installed and accepted or approved as applicable by the city. The water mains and sanitary sewer mains to be extended to provide service to the development are located within public right-of-way, are constructed to City of Bozeman and DEQ standards, are physically adjacent to the site, are installed and accepted by the City of Bozeman, and have adequate capacity, satisfying the criteria within subsection “b”. Additionally, all on-site extensions of the mains are located within 30’ public utility easements and will serve only the proposed site/lot. There are existing fire hydrants at the intersection of Annie Street/Laurel Parkway and Annie Street/Loxley Drive. There is an additional hydrant near the southeastern property corner on Laurel Parkway. No building occupancy will be obtained until all on-site water and sanitary sewer improvements are complete, satisfying the criteria within subsection “c”. Thank you for considering this request for concurrent construction and if you require any further information, please give us a call. Sincerely, Drew Carter, E.I.
