PUD Application 18516
Hello, my name is Tracey Downing. I was born on 701 North Wallace Avenue over 60 years ago.
I curreiitly live a few houses down the street on Cottonwood Street where I have lived for 22 years.
I think that the City ofBozeman should enforce its own standards and codes.
This PUD #18516 is asking for many rules and codes to be broken or changed.
I think the developers are asking for too much.
BMC 38.310.040.C Table of Uses.
I don't like that they are requesting to build apartment buildings in this iieighborhood. It isn't zoned for apartment build-
ings.

One main concern is the traffic aiid parking in this neighborhood.
There is no way that there wiU be enough parking for each place. No family or couple has just one car.

If built as proposed, every bit of green space in that area will be gone. I value green space. It contributes to my health aiid
to the health of the community.
If it gets much taller than allowed standards ALL views in this area will be blocked.
I am concerned this project will not fit in to the character of the neighborhood. It takes away from the charm of the area
and it isnt fair to the neighbors.
Thank you for your time.
