Ms. Andrus,
I am writing to address the zoning changes that are proposed for the land south ofAlder Creek Drive and the proposed Blackwood Development Plan. I reside at
1340 Alder Creek Drive and this land is my backyard. One of the many reasons Ipurchased this house in 2016 is that I knew the land right behind my house was
zoned for residential use only. None of the three proposed zoning districts areresidential in nature (REMU, Industrial and Community Commercial). I believe
there is a place for zoning like this in Bozeman, but not in this area. WithSacajawea Middle School and Morning Star Elementary School being a stone's
throw away from this land, I strongly believe that this land should have aresidential emphasis.
I appreciate your tine in listening to my opposition of these zoning changes as
well as the Blackwood Groves development.
Lindsay Smith
