Aaker
Parks Master Plan
April 2023
Aaker is 95-acre undeveloped parcel located on the developing west side of Bozeman. The project
is bounded by West Kagy Boulevard to the south, the Kagy Crossing development to the east, and
Montana State University’s BART Farm on the west and north boundaries. The land that makes up
Aaker has been used primarily for agriculture and livestock production for many years. The site is
predominately grass land and agricultural land. The site’s proximity to downtown and the university
make it an excellent location for expanded park amenities and recreational opportunities. There are
two watercourses that flow north/south through the property as well as areas of jurisdictional wetlands
and an unnamed irrigation ditch. These watercourse connections provide the opportunity to create
open space and an extensive trail system connecting the surrounding neighborhoods.
The Aaker Park Master Plan is comprised of three main components: Dedicated Park Areas, Common
Open Space Areas (with Public Access Easements) and a network of trails. The primary purpose of
this document is to describe the initial level of development and maintenance of the parks, trails, and
common open space. The second objective is to show a concept for future recreation facilities that
could complement those installed by the developer.
Guiding Ideas:
• Provide connections between residential neighborhoods and park / open space areas
• Provide variety in recreation experiences and opportunities
• Provide areas for passive and active recreation
• Protect, retain, and improve native and natural drainage corridors
• Address current parkland needs while also minimizing impacts to wetlands and streams
• Minimize hard or impervious surfaces

Aaker
Parks Master Plan
April 2023
Dedicated Parkland will make up 27.43 acres
of the Aaker subdivision. These spaces contain
wetlands, ponds, trails, playgrounds, manicured
lawns, pavilions, and other major park amenities.
Approximately 20.39 acres is comprised of
wetland areas, watercourse setback, easements,
and stormwater pond area. This results in 7.04
acres of qualifying acreage. This is less than the
required amount by 1.54 acres. This will be made
up with equivalent Improvments-In-Lieu of a value
of $174,475.
The Cash-In-Lieu required based on residential
density will be proposed as Improvements-in-Lieu
to the parks totaling 4.29 acres or $485,750 worth
of improvements. Bringing the total required Cash
or Improvements-Lieu value to approximately
$660,224. In reference to Resolution 4784, the
City will accept value in-lieu of land as cash or
by means of privately constructed improvements
within a public park. This proposal prioritizes the
acquisition of land rather than payments to the
city, but attempts to find a balance between the
options. The improvements proposed will exceed
the minimum requirements of the Bozeman UDC.
The value of provided recreational opportunities
to the community will exceed the equivalent value
of cash-in-lieu.
The following section outlines the installation
and maintenance of all Phase 1 Park areas for
Final Plat filings. The plan puts emphasis on
open, maintained areas for passive and active
recreation. Three areas of parkland are adjacent
to stream corridor and wetland areas. The natural
character of these areas will be maintained to
the greatest extent possible. Plantings along
the watercourse shall be appropriate to the
environment and will be detailed on the park
plans submittal at the time of infrastructure
approval.

Temporary impacts to hydroperiod may be necessary at other impact locations during construction, but no other permanent impacts to hydroperiod are anticipated. Construction dewatering will be conducted in a manner that minimizes the impacts to hydroperiod to areas outside of the impact zones, as well as minimizes turbidity of the water returned to the wetlands or streams.
Monitoring Plan
All permanently impacted areas will be mitigated at the Upper Missouri Mitigation Bank, and all temporarily disturbed areas will be restored to original elevations and configuration and revegetated with salvaged sod and topsoil,
and a native wetland seed mix. It is important to note that the temporary disturbances proposed at these locations will result primarily from vehicular access during construction of the transportation and park infrastructure (e.g., Kagy Boulevard, the pedestrian bridges). As such, the disturbances are anticipated to be topical and not fundamentally change the soils, hydrology, or functioning of these sites. For this reason the proposed monitoring should focus on the success or failure of the revegetation efforts.
Monitoring of the temporarily disturbed wetland areas will be conducted as follows:
Monitoring will be initiated in late June or July the first new growing season
following the impacts.
Monitoring will occur for two years, or until the success criteria has been
achieved.
Year 1
Two photo points will be established at each impact location, for a total of 16 photo points.
Visual estimates of percent cover at each temporarily impact site will be made by a wetland scientist.
Notes on the wetland hydrology observed during the site visit will be completed.
A brief technical memorandum will be prepared to document the findings, determine whether or not the sites meet the performance criteria, and provide recommendations if they are not. Year 2
Repeat photos will be taken from each of the 14 photopoints established in Year 1.
Visual estimates of percent cover at each temporarily impact site will be made by a wetland scientist.
Notes on the wetland hydrology observed during the site visit will be completed.
Individual wetland sample points will be completed at each temporarily impacted site (9 sample points).
A brief technical memorandum will be prepared to document the findings, determine whether or not the sites meet the performance criteria, and provide recommendations if they are not.

Performance Criteria
Each temporarily impacted site will be deemed to be successful if it achieves the following performance criteria:
1. The site is determined to be a wetland using current guidance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and
2. The site is dominated by ≥50% native hydrophytic vegetation. 3. The site contains less than 5% state listed noxious weeds. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Regards,

SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 11
Aaker
Parks Master Plan
April 2023
Vegetation
All vegetation shall be quality nursery stock
and construction documents will dictate further
specifications and species selection. A variety
of species shall be selected to ensure that a pest
or disease event does not decimate the entire
project. Trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants
will be chosen for their size, hardiness, and
aesthetic nature. Plants used will be regionally
native and/or adapted to the extent possible.
Trees
All trees are subject to approval by the City of
Bozeman. Tree selection should be based on the
recommended species list provided by the City of
Bozeman. Tree size and selection shall be varied
to create visual interest and a varied genetic
palette.
Recommended Tree List
Colorado Blue Spruce
Northwoods Red Maple
Quaking Aspen
Cottonwood
Common Honey Locust
Spring Snow Crabapple
American Linden
Norway Maple
American Elm
Shrubs
Shrubs used within the watercourse setback will
be used to enhance the existing native vegetation,
increase native habitat, and provide a varied
visual experience. Plants will be chosen based
on hardiness, aesthetic quality, and size. The City
Forester will approve final plant selection for all
woody plant material.
Recommended Shrub List
Booth Willow
Bebb’s Willow
Yellow Willow
Peachleaf Willow
Red Osier Dogwood
Alder
Common Chokecherry
Grasses
Herbaceous seed mixes will be dictated by the
construction documents. In general, turf areas
will receive a Kentucky bluegrass mix, detention
areas will be seeded with a mix tolerant of wet
conditions. All areas disturbed by construction
will be properly prepared and seeded with a
narrow spacing drill seeder. Before seeding,
the soil shall be loosened to a minimum depth
of six inches to improve initial root development
and amended if necessary. The soil will not be
compacted in any manner. Sufficient compaction
is readily achieved through the grading
process and normal rainfall. Fertilizer should be
applied prior to planting to insure healthy plant
development.
Recommended Turf Grass Mix (Dedicated
Parkland and Boulevards)
Pennfine Perennial Rye 30%
Glade Kentucky Bluegrass 30%

Parks Master Plan
April 2023
All soils to be used on public park land shall be
inspected by and meet the approval of City of
Bozeman Parks Division Staff prior to installation
and shall meet the minimum depth requirement
of 6 inches. All rock more than 1 inch in diameter
shall be removed. Soil tests (a sieve analysis and
soil analysis) shall be performed prior to planting
to determine the classification and texture of the
soils, along with any nutrient deficiencies. The
classification and texture will determine what
amendments, if any, are needed, while the soil
analysis will help correct any nutrient problems
with a pre-plant fertilization.
* Guidelines for soils - The soil will be deemed
acceptable if: it is less than 35% clay and less
than 70% sand and 70% silt. Ph must not exceed
8.4. The soil will be screened at 1” minus for
rocks and debris; topsoil depth will be at least
6 inches. The subbase, after grading, will be
scarified to a depth of twelve inches to insure
drainage throughout the profile.
Amendments may vary depending on existing
soils but will generally consist of 60% coarse sand
(generally concrete sand), 20% organics (C: N
ratio below 30) and 20% approved native soil.
Soils will be mixed, prior to installation, with a
screener / mixer machine, or applied in layers on
site and mixed thoroughly with a deep rototiller.
Depth of amended soil will be a minimum of
ten (10) inches. There will be no compaction
following the grading process. Fertilizer, and the
rate at which it will be applied, should be dictated
by the soil test report.
Playgrounds shall be installed on parkland
managed by the City of Bozeman. All
playgrounds must be approved by a Certified
Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) and meet
ASTM F1487-01, CPSC and ADA guidelines and
specifications.
Playgrounds shall be age appropriate, for area
served, and be signed accordingly. There shall be
an adequate use zone area around equipment,
approved material in use zone, which meets
impact attenuation criteria as specified in ASTM
1292, and adequate drainage. All installation
plans, materials list, construction guidelines,
maintenance information and manufacturer’s
name shall be supplied to the City of Bozeman’s
Parks Division, upon completion of playground
installation. All work will be overseen and
approved by a CPSI.

Responsible Party
With the creation of the City-Wide Park
Maintenance District, the City of Bozeman
maintains responsibility for all maintenance of
recreation and other facilities within dedicated
parks. The Declarant will be responsible for
maintaining pathways, open space, and parkland
until 50 percent of the lots are sold. At such time,
the City of Bozeman Parks Department will take
over maintenance.
The Association shall be responsible for liability
insurance, local taxes and maintenance of
recreation and other facilities in the common
space areas. The assessments levied by the
Board for the maintenance, upkeep, repair,
and operation of common areas like all other
assessments, become a lien on each lot within
the Subdivision. The Board may, in its discretion,
adjust the assessments to meet the changing
needs of the community and the areas serving the
community.
The Association shall enter an annual contract
with a certified landscape nursery person for
upkeep and maintenance. The Association
shall also be responsible for the maintenance
of all common properties, paths and trails,
facilities, centers, and adjacent sidewalks and/or
landscaping in street boulevards. Maintenance
will include the following:
Trees and Shrubs
A contractor will be hired to perform park
maintenance. Maintenance duties to be
performed will consist of spring and fall clean
up, routine mowing, lawn patching, 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
Natural fines trails will not be plowed. These trails
will be inspected regularly and receive routine
patching and surface maintenance to prevent
erosion or unsafe conditions. Weeds on the
trails will be controlled following City of Bozeman
standards, set by the City Parks Division, and
using industry standards or as part of the weed
control plan described in this document.
Turf Care
Native grass areas should be mowed 3-4 times
per year dependent 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 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. Established
lawns can receive a deep, but less frequent
watering to conserve and not over water.
Maintenance
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 16
Aaker
Parks Master Plan
April 2023
Noxious Weed Control
A weed control program will be developed that
conforms to the requirements of the City of
Bozeman, Gallatin County Wed 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,
according to industry and local standards, on
a regular basis, using appropriate applications
and products. The utmost care will be taken to
protect water sources, park users and adjacent
property owners. The City of Bozeman shall be
notified of 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
Division.
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.
Lawns should be fertilized once in spring with a
24-4-24 blend after the last frost and with a 21-
3-21 in mid to late summer. It is recommended
that slow-release fertilizer be used to prevent
excessive shoot growth and to provide turf
nutrition over an extended period of time. Lawns
should be fertilized according to manufacturer
standards. Annual soil test should be performed
to check nutrient levels and determine whether
changes are necessary.
Maintenance (cont.)
Outside the 50ft buffer, shade trees should
be fertilized in April with a 16-10-9 blend plus
iron and zinc. Other trees should be fertilized
with food spikes, but no fertilization of woody
vegetation should occur past mid-July. Trees
under one year old should not be fertilized.
Evergreens should be pruned as necessary in
June and shade tree pruning should be done in
April, except for birches and maples. Birches
and maples should be pruned in mid-July to
prevent bleeding. All trees should be continually
monitored for pests and diseases throughout the
growing season. Woody vegetation should be
deep watered right before the ground freezes.
Snow and Leaf Removal
Snow removal will be provided within the park
by a snow removal service retained by the
Neighborhood Association. Sidewalks must be
cleared within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall
event per Bozeman Ordinance 1529. The
Homeowner’s Association will be responsible for
clearing snow on sidewalks, on walks adjacent
to Parks and Open Spaces and the South 19th
boulevard; no snow removal will be performed
on the natural fines trails. Leaf removal will be
provided most likely by a landscape contractor
or handyman service, as retained by the
Neighborhood Association.
SECTION 1 - PARK INFORMATION 17
Aaker
Parks Master Plan
April 2023
Irrigation System
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 check
monthly for necessary adjustments. Drip emitters
should be periodically checked, and the entire
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 system
working pressure 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 left off until spring.
Any necessary watering during the winter months
should be done with a tank to prevent damage to
the irrigation system.
Maintenance (cont.)
Animal Control
Pets should be leashed at all times while in the
parks and open space and residents must clean
up after their pets. If rodents become a problem
with regards to damaging plant material or
posing a health risk to residents or pots, rodent
control should be utilized. However, no poison is
permitted on within open space areas.
Refuse
Refuse within the open spaces will be collected
weekly by a service retained by the Neighborhood
Association or the party responsible for
maintenance.
