Dear Mayor Mehl,
We are writing to let you know that we completely oppose the rezoning of the 392 acres of land between W. GrafStreet and Goldenstein Lane, including the REMU, the Industrial designation of Bozeman’s Southease quadrant, andthe Community Commercial designation. We are residents in Sundance Springs neighborhood, and our childrenattend the public schools in the area including Sacajawea middle school. We specifically bought property on theSouthside because of the rural feel of the area, and because of the beauty. What would be the purpose of zoning landin this area for commericial development? This zone change is not consistent with the use of the area as residential,nor is it needed. On this 392 acre parcel of land live wildlife that we in Bozeman all say we love to see and protect,such as bald eagles, hawks, deer, geese, and cranes, but they would all have to leave if this is developed.
Changing the zoning of this tract of land to commercial development so that possibly a strip mall would be builtwould completely destroy the integrity of a family residential community, where traffic is light, cyclists and runnersabound, and deer live in our backyards. We understand the need for growth in Bozeman, but developing commercialbusinesses on this property is not in the best interest of residents, but rather only the developer. This would be aninalterable decision impacting generations to come. Please oppose this development.
Thank you,Bill and Jeanine Allen229 Silver Cloud CircleBozeman
