I live just South of Nash. Sadly, a builder from MA bought the lot next to us. It has a non state or country flag
out front to draw attention, is taller than any of the other houses, and now, they have decided to light it up like
the Taj Mahal. Why they moved to this quiet area to build their look at me house I do not know. But now all I
can see at night is this guy's house lights. Is this what Bozeman is going to encourage Leverich Canyon to
become?
I look at that monstrosity next to Rosauers. One thing that I've learned watching Bozeman change over the past
30 years is that whether or not something is quote cool unquote as the girl said in the recent westslope
controversy or whether it makes sense for the community tends to fall in favor of quote cool unquote. We are
already destroying the nation's number two most fertile agricultural soil. Watch any building site, and you'll see
mounds and mounds of rich black soil getting ready to go completely to waste. Why are we allowing our
nightscape and Our Stars as well as the rest and peace of our community to be disrupted as well?
Please consider making Bozeman a dark sky community.

Huh.wonder what's up with that...
I guess truly the important part is that we are spending all this money to cut light polution, then having guys
like this one putting up all this exterior lighting, well beyond security driven...born that place next to Rosauers...
with I would guess about 40 exterior light. It destroys the nightscape, the stars, and peace of our quiet mountain
living. If we are ever to get it under control, sooner is better.
I support a dark sky initiative.
Thank you,
Maria Nash.
