The City of Bozeman Department of Community Development has considered the
subdivision as described above. The subdivision can continue to Preliminary Plat. However,
before submittal of the preliminary plat, a major modification of the PUD should be done so
that the process of reviewing the Preliminary Plat is clean and coordinates with the PUD
since as it stands, it does not reflect the approved PUD.

pre-application plan review application for items:
· Agriculture
· Miscellaneous
· Affordable Housing
2. Requested waivers to the supplemental information for the following items are not
granted. These supplemental documents are not waived and are required with the
preliminary plat.
· Floodplain
· Groundwater
· Geology
· Vegetation
· Wildlife
· Historic Features
· Agricultural water uses
· Water and sewer
· Stormwater management
· Streets/alleys/roads
· Neighborhood Center
The applicant is aware of this and accepts this condition
PLANNING COMMENTS, SARAH ROSENBERG, SROSENBERG@BOZEMAN.NET:
1. Section 38.220.060.A.16 – Provide a master park plan that addresses the park
dedication requirements listed in this section. Required with pre-application submittal.
Will have to be reviewed by RPAB.
After further discussions with the Owner/Developer, the previously submitted
“City Park” lots will be revised to reflect the original “Open Space” lots. The
owner will instead pay cash in lieu for the parkland. With the revision to Open
Space lots, the master park plan will no longer apply to this submittal.
2. Section 38.320.050 – The minimum lot size width for B-2 is 100 feet. Addressed with
resubmittal (4.22.19).
Section 38.420.050 – The park does not meet park frontage requirements. Not
addressed with resubmittal. A major modification to the PUD should be done prior to pre
application submittal. Staff would not be in support of park that doesn’t meet frontage
requirements. (4.22.19).
See answer to Planning comment 1.
3. Each park needs to be called City Park and to be dedicated to the city. Addressed with
resubmittal (4.22.19).
See answer to Planning comment 1.
4. The plat does not reflect the approved PUD.
a. Lot 29 and 39 should be common areas. Addressed with submittal (4.22.19)
b. Lot 35 is not shown on the PUD. Addressed with submittal (4.22.19)
c. Lot 34 faces the internal roadway. The PUD highlights the lots in this area to
front onto a street, not an internal roadway. Not addressed. It is still labeled
Lot 34.
We disagree with this statement, Lot 34 has frontage onto a roadway.
d. Clarify the northern portions of Lots 26 and 28 as it is unclear what they are.
Addressed with submittal (4.22.19)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS, ANNA RUSSELL, ARUSSELL@BOZEMAN.NET:
1. No utility easements can be located on Park property to service private lots.
With the Open Space lots the utility easements are allowable.
2. Gas, electric, and communications requires a separate utility easement a minimum of 10
feet wide for Lots 26 and 42. The sewer/water easement cannot be used for private
utilities (the Water/Sewer Department is still asking for a 20 foot easement). If this
easement is not required, explain how these utilities will be provided to those lots.
The utility easements for Lots 26 and 42 have been widened to 30’.
3. A ten foot front utility easement is required along the southern open space for Phase 5 on
the South side of Technology Boulevard West.
Phase 5 is no longer part of this submittal.
4. The 7 foot access and utility easement south of proposed Technology Boulevard West in
Phase 5 cannot be included on this plat; it is on adjacent property not part of this
application.
Phase 5 is no longer part of this submittal.
5. The entire 60 foot ROW for the proposed Technology Boulevard West will need to be
included in Phase 5.
Phase 5 is no longer part of this submittal.
6. The applicant must submit updated design reports for the proposed increase in
intensity. The City must verify the public infrastructure can support the increase.
The following reports are required:
a. Water
b. Wastewater
c. Stormwater
d. Traffic
Acknowledged
PARKS COMMENTS, ADDI JADIN, AJADIN@BOZEMAN.NET;
1. A Master Park Plan including narrative is required per Section 38.220.060.A.16 and
will be reviewed by Recreation and Parks Advisory Board and adopted by the City
Commission upon submittal of the Preliminary Plat.
See answer to Planning comment 1.
