Dear Deputy Mayor Cyndy Andrus,
I am urging you to please protect the residential character of Bozeman’s Southside. As a nearby resident living in
Sundance Springs, the proposed zoning changes have a huge impact on our part of town. As a resident of Bozeman
for nearly forty years — I’ve lived on the Southside for many years in three different locations (Mystic Height,
Sourdough Properties and now Sundance Springs).
The area of these proposed changes is residential and agricultural in nature. There’s a significant amount of wildlife
including Bald Eagles, Redtail and other hawk and falcon species, Great Horned Owls, copious amounts of deer,
numerous mammals like fox, raccoons, and other species — and Sandhill Cranes. As development gobbles up
wildlife habitat, our diversity of species decreases and road kill becomes the norm.
Traffic is also a huge concern as well. Our streets are already very busy and can get back-up (look at South 3rd
between Kagy and north Wagon Wheel in the mornings. There are numerous walkers (kids for the large nearby
schools of Morning Star and Sacajewea), bikers and joggers that use the area.
Light and noise pollution will impact all the surrounding residences.
Limited resources of available water are also an on-going concern with this rapid growth we are experiencing in
Bozeman!!
Truly, the heavy impacts of commercial development do not need to expand so far south of Kagy Blvd!!! PLEASE
— Maintain the rural residential and agricultural SOUTHSIDE!
PLEASE oppose:
1) REMU designation for 117 acre proposed Blackwood Groves
2) Industrial designation in Bozeman’s Southeast Quadrant
3) Community Commercial designation in Bozeman’s Southwest Quadrant
Kindly,
Mary Sadowski
