One of the things that makes Bozeman such a great place to live, is the night View and theStars. We have such a great night scape because of limited amounts of light pollution. When I
look at businesses like the one next to Rosauers, I am appalled that we are so focused on beingtrendy and cool that were completely willing to sacrifice any efforts to continue to build in
such a way that supports our beautiful view of the mountains during the day and are beautifulview of the stars at night. I'd like to request that we Implement some sort of regulation on
external lighting. Living off of Nash Road, I know that I have one neighbor who's decided tocome in and light his house up like the Taj Mahal. Just that one house in our subdivision as it
travels up toward leverich Canyon has completely mangled our night view. It's so frustratingto lay in bed and look outside and just see his house lit up like a torch instead of being able to
lay there and look at Orion, which was my normal View. Certainly, there is also aconsideration of the environment as we are allowing places like this one next to Rosauers to
consume who knows how much energy lighting that place up like that. It is unattractive,wasteful and does not contribute to Bozeman being the best place.
