Greetings,
My name is Daniella McGuire, and my family lives in the Sundance Springs Development, right off Goldenstein. Iam writing to state that we strongly oppose commercial development at the proposed "REMU" Zoning District.
We purchased our home five years ago with the understanding that South Bozeman would remain a residentialneighborhood. The area suggested for a commercial district, "REMU", is located close to both Sacajawea MiddleSchool and Morningstar Elementary School. There is limited egress and ingress to this neighborhood so that trafficwould endanger students walking and riding bikes to school and back home.
Southside residents are similarly concerned that a commercial district will contribute to polluting our streams andwildlife. Finally, property values would surely crater if this neighborhood should become commercial.
Our country is currently fighting a pandemic. Business and homeowners are facing financial ruin. Buildingadditional commercial businesses during this time seems irresponsible.
Please, consider these important issues and oppose the REMU Commercial Development.
Sincerely,Daniella McGuire406-209-2092
