Rouse Ave. Bozeman, MT First Name Brian Last Name Eilers Email Address bjeilers@gmail.com Phone Number 4065816825 Comments Hello, My name is Brian Eilers I live at 2378 Renee Way, Bozeman MT 59718 I have some concerns about the Hoover Way Subdivision Planned Unit Development, Application 17546 First, is the number of relaxations that they are requesting, 9 relaxations seem excessive, I love the work that the HRDC does, but if this were any other contractor I have a feeling that they wouldn't get anywhere close to that number of relaxations. The parking relaxations are what I am most concerned with, because parking is already an issue with the street width in Baxter Square. There are times when you can only fit a single car down the road, this is with the current parking restrictions in place, and using our HOA fees to keep the roads clear of snow. With the proposed 24 new homes coming in without these parking restrictions, this could lead to major issues and potentially be a safety hazard if ambulances and firetrucks need to access the subdivision and can't fit down these roads. These additional buildings and lack of parking space could be a major issue if these parking relaxations are allowed. This leads into the next potential problems. The Hoover Way Subdivision Planned Unit Development will not be apart of the Baxter Square HOA. The proposed development area was to be apart of Baxter square originally, while the new development will not be part of the Baxter Square HOA concerns me for a variety of reasons, my major concern with this is that they won't be providing any funds for the upkeep of the subdivision in key areas which the new development will be benefiting from. The only way in and out of the new development would be through the Baxter Square property. Because of our parking issues we currently we use our HOA funds for snow removal in order to keep our roads cleared as best possible, this would mean that we would be carrying the full burden of snow removal in the development. By the number of units that are being planned, the new development should pay roughly 37% of the snow removal costs on our streets per year. If these streets don't get plowed travelling on these roads would in my mind be hazardous, we would ask that the new development pay their share to keep our roads safe. Also, the Baxter Square HOA would be on the hook for all the park maintenance and dog waste removal. This is already a big issue and with this being the only park near the new develpment, the owners of these units are going to be using our parks, walking dogs, etc. We already spend $1000-$2000/year on dog waste removal, bags and cans and will probably need to spend more in the years to come as more people move in. Park maintenance currently is around $12,000/year, we would ask that the new development to help with these upkeep costs as well. Thank you.
