Project Description: Pre-application meeting for advice and comments for Removal of an existing single
family and replacement with a single family residence.
Site: 424 N. Ida
N. 25' of Lots 1-3 - Block 51 Northern Pacific Addition, City of Bozeman
General Discussion
• Guidance on path forward on property going over property lines
o ROW abandonment was not allowed – per City Engineer
o Applicant proposing a variance to setback – this would be a 100% variance and would
need Commission approval
• Best course of action – demolish house
o Propose reduced set back through deviation not a variance
o Non-conforming now – the code provision listed below allows you to replace house on
this non-conforming lot
38.280.030
o Deviation deals with the setback (15ft front setback standard) – NCOA application would
be required
If you do zero lot line, cannot have any openings on North side of building per
building code
• Work with Building to determine options
Recommend 3 ft. setback on North side
o Front of building would have to be to the West
Primary Façade must face West
• Make sure you meet requirements for infill with NCOD – try to maintain streetscape and
character of neighborhood
Engineering/Sidewalks
• Street sections – no existing sidewalk in the areas
o City Engineer to make determination on existing sidewalk conditions
Engineering will NOT require construction of the sidewalks at this time
o Would not be required to put sidewalks past your residence
• Engineering will require a waiver of right to protest a special improvement district for lighting,
paving and subgrade material, fiber optic conduit, curb/gutter, sidewalk, storm drainage
facilities, and traffic signals upgrades to Ida Ave from Fridley Street to E Peach Street and to
Orange Street from Plum Avenue to Ida Avenue.
o See attached waiver for reference

Commission
• Commission Deviations advice – Speak thoroughly, with many examples with similar situations
in the neighborhood

o Think “Story telling”
o Homeowner projects – retaining the neighborhood, enhancing neighborhood
