Project Location
Norton Ranch Phase 5 is located north of West Babcock Street and south of the Lakes Subdivision, currently
under development. Farmland borders the west edge of the subdivision with Aajker Creek running parallel just
outside of the Norton Ranch property line. The east edge of the development is bordered by existing wetlands
to be protected and farmland. Laurel Parkway Road will be extended from West Babcock north to The Lakes
Subdivision.

Park Master Plan
Project Scope
The Norton Ranch Phase 5 Master Park Plan is comprised of a variety of park and open space including a
linear lark with multi-use pathway and large wetland conservation area.
Parkland Goals:
The parkland goals have been developed to conform with the City of Bozeman’s long range park plan:
• Provide access to parkland from all residential lots and surrounding neighborhoods
• Provide parking for visitors
• Provide areas for socialization, active and passive recreation and play opportunities for children
• Minimize impact to existing Wetlands and watercourse as well as retaining native and natural
drainage corridors
• Provide connections to link Norton Ranch Phase 5 with outerlying subdivisions both existing
and proposed or under development.
• Utilize and enhance retention ponds as an amenity
• Minimize turf areas for water conservation
Parkland Components:
• Wetland Conservation area- A large portion of land at the northeast corner of the site is
protected and undeveloped by a conservation easement. A Class II gravel path will provide
access along the west edge of the wetlands. Wetlands west of Laurel Parkway have been mitigated with
native trees and shrubs.
• Playground- A play structure and small parking lot is proposed near the intersection of Laurel Parkway and
Boomtown Road.
• Retention Pond and Park-At the northwest corner of the park both active and passive
recreation is provided with lawn space, shade trees, walking paths, a climbing boulder and
picnic space. The retention pond is enhanced with groupings of native trees, shrubs and
boulders for naturalization.
• Linear Park and Pathway-A Class I asphalt path runs north to south providing a connection
between Norton Ranch South and The Lakes Subdivision. A majority of the linear park is
within the 50’ watercourse setback and will include native tree and shrub plantings as well as native grass.
• Open Space- Open space running west to east will be planted with a low maintenance grass
mix and a concrete pathway will provide pedestrian access.

Maintenance
Responsible Party
The Declarant will be responsible for maintaining pathways, open space and parkland until 50 percent of the
lots are sold. At such time, the Association will take over maintenance.
The Association shall enter into an annual contract with a certified landscape contractor for upkeep and
maintenance. The Association will be responsible for park maintenance until such time a City Wide Park Main-
tenance district is created. The association shall be responsible for the maintenance of all open space/parks,
paths and trails, and adjacent sidewalks and landscaping in street boulevards. Maintenance will also include care
and replacement of playground equipment (CPSI approved) and/or site furnishings, replacement of dog waste
station 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
The trees shall be staked for the first 2 years to help stabilize, after 2 years stakes and fencing must be removed
to allow natural growth habit. Maintenance duties to be performed will consist of spring and fall clean up, 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
Trails will be inspected regularly and receive routine patching and surface maintenance to prevent erosion or
unsafe conditions. Weeds on or near the trails well be controlled following City of Bozeman standards, set by
the City Parks Division, and using industry standards or as part of a weed control plan.
Turf Care
Native grass and areas should be mowed 1-2 times per year depending 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 lawn 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. Estab-
lished lawns can receive a deep, but less frequent watering in order to conserve and not over water.

Norton Ranch Subdivision, Phase 5 August 2020
Park Master Plan
Noxious Weed Control
A weed control program will be developed that conforms to the requirements of the City of Bozeman, Gallatin
County Weed 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, accord-
ing to industry and local standards, on a regular basis, using appropriate applications and products. The utmost
care shall be taken due to the proximity to wetlands and watercourse. 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 Divi-
sion.
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.
Lawn, trees and shrubs outside the 50’ watercourse setback should be fertilized as needed.
Irrigation
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 checked on a monthly basis for necessary adjustments. Drip
emitters should be periodically checked and the system should be regularly monitored for line breaks, head
breakage and vandalism.
Head replacement should be done with the same brand to ensure efficient coverage for the shall working pres-
sure 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 nec-
essary watering during the winter months should be done with a tank to prevent damage to the irrigation system.
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.
