PJ_s<;2!S~i.i9~t1m~rotest!? .. Covered Wagon_ Mo~U-~:!Q~. Park .'\1"1::<1 Residents: ^ petition signed by approximately sixty property owners in regard to the City of Bozeman reversing its decision of 12 May 1971 approving extension of Water and Sewer to the Covered Wagon Mobile Home Park was presented as follows: Re: Extension of Sewer and Water Lines to the Covered Waz,on Park: Will you please consider this letter in form of a petition to the City of Bozeman to reverse its decision of May 12, 1971, approving extension of water and sewer to the Cover.ed Wagon Park, Incorporated for the following reasons: I. It does not represent orderly development, specifically: a. Traffic problems have not been resolved. The only ingress and egress is North Seventeenth which is not completely improved. The present Covered Wagon Park, with only 17th as an ingress and egress, would represent a hazardous cul-de-sac arrangement. b. There Ls no time schedule for obtaining right-of-way for the orderly development of 15th Street which forms the easterly boundary of the Covered Wagon Park. c. Although the master plan designates North 19th Street, which forms the westerly boundary of the Covered Wagon Park, as an arterial road, the right-of-way has not been completely obtained and state funds have not been scheduled for its improvement. d. Durston Road, as the main arterial for all streets in northwest Bozeman, is in dire need of improvement to carry the current traffic load. Securing right-or-way and funds for this road improvement should be under a fiml timetable in order to facilitate orderly d eve lopmen t . e. There are no time schedules for obtaining right-of-way for the orderly development of Hest Oak forming the northerly boundary of the pro- posed Covered Wagon Park. er L. It is the petition's belief that 15th Street, 19th Street and Hest Oak \Vill not be developed for several years because of right-of-way diff- iculties and lack of funds. 2. Orderly development requires careful consideration by all and especially the recommendations of the City-County planner and City Engineer. In addition, traffic studies should be made to properly identify and propose solutions to potential problems. 3. New developments, more especially high density developments, should have an adequate storm sewer system and be part of the master plan. In summary, we believe that granting an extension of sewer and water facilities to the Covered Hagon Park is not consistent with orderly development of the area in question. I I I I I I Mr. Russel E. Estes, Mr. Donald A. Rudberg, Mr. Francis L. Niven and Mr. David A. Or1ady were also present to discuss the decision. Following a thorough discussion of the interest in working toward upgrading vehicular and pedestrian traffic facilities providing ingress and egress to that neighborhood and the proposed Covered Wagon Mobile Homes Park, it was moved by Commissioner Grabow, seconded by Commissioner Vollmer, that the City Manager acknowledge receipt of the petition, assur- ing them that the City is vitally concerned with providing the best possihle facilities for all parties concerned and that the interested property owners and the City of Bozeman work together to\~ard the goal of proper provision for traffic and the motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: Thos voting Aye being Commissioner Grabow, Commissioner Vollmer, Commissioner Sedivy, Commissioner Morrow, Mayor Langohr; those voting No, none. r::.l?29_l.:.~-9n Hont~ Lib~9_r.L...:\ssoci<ltion Convention - Marfarct Hileman: City Librarian Margaret Hileman gave an extensive report on her attendance at the Montana Library Convention held in Missoula, 7-9 May 1970.
