Subject:Comments on the growth policy for tonights meeting
Hello Lacie and the Bozeman Planning Board,
I got your email from a colleague and I wanted to send an email to include my comments for consideration of
the growth policy being discussed tonight.
As a small business owner and resident invested in this community, I would like to encourage priority on the
following:
1. The preservation of open space and agricultural land.
2. I would like to encourage walkability, bike lanes and public transportation in the development.
3. A plan for an urban growth boundary- concentrating on preserving agricultural and green spaces within the
valley.
4. Planning for new developments under the City of Bozeman's Climate Action Plan and the Low-Impact
Development and Green Infrastructure policy.
5. Lastly, I would like to see the City's continued investment in healthy waterways through recharging and
improving ground and surface water quality, providing natural stormwater management, improving aquatic and
wildlife habitat, increasing recreational opportunities and reducing flood risk.
I truly believe this City can do great things, and can exemplify environmental, social and economic benefits
through supporting these efforts.
Thank you for your consideration in these comments.
Sincerely,
Becca Skinner
