We are writing to express our strong opposition to R5 zoning of Bozeman's proposed subdivision named
Buffalo Run. We have followed the activity of the Meadow Creek HOA board and know that they have
articulated well the reasons that a R5 zoning is inappropriate for this annexation.
Our property is within 100 yards of this proposed new subdivision. Of particular concern to us is access and
density.
With respect to access, 3 of the 4 access roads to the Meadow Creek subdivision are currently not
constructed or unfinished. Blackwood should go from 19th street to the west boundary of Meadow Creek.
However, a 200-yard segment of Blackwood is unfinished gravel that is blocked by concrete jersey barriers.
Mea should run from the west boundary of Meadow Creek to the west boundary of South Ridge. Two
blocks of Mea are currently gravel and not maintained by the city. 27th street was designed as a boulevard,
but one block of it is half finished and currently this road, that was designed for one-way traffic, supports
two-way traffic. Currently, if the intersection of Parkway and Graff were to become blocked there would be
no city-maintained streets that would provide emergency access to the entire Meadow Creek subdivision.
These access issues should be resolved before any further expansion of city boundaries in areas adjacent to
Meadow Creek.
With respect to density, let's just say that we think it is ridiculous for the city to approved R5 high density
residential development in this location. It is inconsistent with adjacent development and because of the
lack of available public transportation and the distance to service businesses, it is also inconsistent with the
city's R5 zoning designation and long-range building plan.
For these and other reasons well-articulated by the Meadow Creek HOA, we strongly opposed the
annexation of Buffalo Run with an R5 zoning.
Respectfully submitted,
Brett and Elaine Gunnink
