Subject: Buffalo Run proposed sub division
Date: Monday, January 11, 2021 5:57:37 PM
Bozeman City Council,
I am emailing in regards to the proposed high density Buffalo Run subdivision
bordering the low density Meadow Creek existing subdivision. It is our opinion that the
negative impact of the currently proposed subdivision plan far out weighs the benefits.
Namely, traffic and safety are the major considerations. With the current proposal,
there is only one access for fire and emergency vehicles from Kirk Drive. It is also
unacceptable to expect all of the traffic for a high density subdivision to funnel through
a low density neighborhood. Also, the proposition to build a road right through an
existing park that is generally occupied by children and pets is dangerous and
unacceptable. Also, the impact on Meadow Creek infrastructure will likely add an
unnecessary monetary burden to these residents, namely the lack of water pressure
and volume available. Each existing home in the Meadow Creek subdivision will likely
need to add a potable water booster pump in order to maintain normal water
pressure. The current pressure is 40 psi, this is much lower than is normal for a
Municipal system . This subdivision should not be approved without consideration of
these elements. It is also our opinion that more access is imperative. When Fowler
Lane is improved and the infrastructure for Buffalo Run is designed to be sourced
from Fowler Lane, and the proposed access through the existing park is eliminated,
only then would this subdivision be a consideration. Thank you for your consideration
of our opinion.
