Hello,
My firm is in the process of submitting the plans for a new office project to the City of Bozeman Development Dept. One
of the items on the site plan checklist require us to provide information on:
"Water rights information. If cash-in-lieu is proposed a cash-in-lieu of water rights calculation and payment amount
certified by the City's Engineering Division."
I need to confirm whether or not this is applicable to our project, if so what steps need to be taken. I have been able to
track down the statement of claim for water rights, however, because our development is apart of a larger master plan
development - I need to make sure we are covered.

Griffin -
Just following up on my previous email. We are looking to submit our site plan submittal this month on July 15th. I want to
make sure we are satisfying the Site Plan Submittal Checklist, and responding to this cash-in-lieu of water rights payment
in the correct manner.
The checklist asks that we provided an amount certified by the City Engineering Division. Can you please confirm if what I
previously sent to you is sufficient to get me this info before the 15th? If not, please let me know what else I can provide
to make sure we meet our submittal date.
Cheers,
Alex Welsh

Hi Alex,
The preliminary determina on for the project is as follows.
Annual Demand
Domes c = 80,000SF * 10,00gals/yr/1000sf (Use: Office) = 800,000gals/yr or 2.455 acre-feet/yr.
Irriga on = Pending
Preliminary Fee
City’s adopted CIL water rights rate = $6,000/acre-foot
2.455acre-feet *$6,000/acre-foot = $14,730 + Irriga on
Let me know when the site plan has received adequacy and we can finalize the fee determina on.

Fresh off the press - I have attached the irrigation plan to this email for your reference. SF of the original site plan I sent
you will not be changing (80,000 GBA)
As for what we need to deliver to the city, is there a form I need to fill out that shows we have discussed the water rights
fee and the amount has been certified by the Engineering dept?
