Preliminary Plat Application
Wildlife
The Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has evaluated the site and does not have
any fish and wildlife concerns at this time.
During construction a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) will be required to be
issued and implemented to prevent unclean stormwater runoff during construction to enter
the waterway.
Because this area has historically been used for agriculture, it has not been a vital habitat for
wild animals. All land included in streets, avenues, alleys, and public parks will be donated to
the City of Bozeman for public use and enjoyment. The subdivision does not interfere with
public access to any existing public areas.
Please see the responses below to the items requested in Section 38.220.060 – Additional
Subdivision Preliminary Plat Supplements in the Bozeman Municipal Code.
a. Species. Describe species of fish and wildlife which use the area affected by the
proposed subdivision.
The area has historically been used as agricultural land and therefore is not a significant habitat
for wildlife. The occasional deer and birds have been spotted on site.
b. Critical areas. Identify on a plat overlay or sketch map of the proposed subdivision any
known critical, significant or "key" wildlife areas, such as big game winter range,
waterfowl nesting areas, habitat for rare or endangered species or wetlands.
As aforementioned, the land has historically been used as agricultural land and is currently a
stubble field. No known critical, significant, or “key” wildlife areas are known to exist on site.
Therefore, no plat overlay is included here because there are no such wildlife areas on site.
c. Pets/human activity. Describe the expected effects of pets and human activity on
wildlife.
The subdivision will be subject to the City of Bozeman animal control laws that require licensing
of pets and leashes on dogs.
d. Public access. Describe the effects on public access to public lands, trails, hunting or
fishing areas.
This site has no public access to public lands, or hunting and fishing areas.
e. Protective measures. Describe any proposed measures to protect or enhance wildlife
habitat or to minimize degradation (e.g., keeping building and streets back from
shorelines, setting aside marshland as undeveloped open space).
As aforementioned, no significant wildlife areas exist on site.
