I’m writing to urge the Commission to delay the formation of a URD at the Idaho Pole site until community
members receive additional information and a solid, transparent development plan from the City that
addresses the following issues:
-What potential traffic and infrastructure impacts would be created by this URD and the resulting
development? Why would these not be envisioned and addressed prior to the formation of the URD? What
additional traffic pressure would be brought to bear on downtown and northeast Bozeman neighborhoods?
-What form(s) would the development take and how would these alter the existing neighborhood and the
greater community? During the September 9 WebEx presentation David Fine stated that a conceptual
review application for the site has been received by the City Planning Department. I’m concerned that the
City is attempting to create this URD to benefit one specific, unnamed developer at the expense of
community involvement and, potentially, neighborhood integrity.
-What exactly is needed to assure safe development of a contaminated site such as this? How could future
development choices be impacted by changes in federal and state politics and policies that may not be
acceptable for many Bozeman residents who desire the strongest safeguards on public health and safety?
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt)
along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure
receipt of all information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
