Greetings City Commissioners;
I would like to voice a strong concern for the proposed development thatwould add 40 homes, community buildings as well as community space for
gardens and recreation on a small 5-acre site. This type of housing
density is not a fit for the site and infrastructure.
For example, South Third, despite adding the Graf connection to 11th and
19th streets, is often bumper-to-bumper traffic during certain periods of
the day. Kagy Blvd, also a gateway to this area is already at capacity with
long delays on it between 19th and Willson. Moreover, planned increasedhousing in South University further adds to the traffic congestion.
In talking with planners and real estate professionals, South Bozeman is
home to single-family homes typically with large lots and open spacerequirements. The proposed development does not fit with the character
established for the past 40 years.
I hope you vote no to the current site selected for the co-housing project.
Sincerely,
-- Nancy Hatfield418 Fieldstone Dr
