Hello, I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the proposed R-5 high-density zoning
"Buffalo Run". I ask the City Commissioners to please consider the impact this proposed development will
have on the Meadow Creek community. Any of us owning property around Ainsworth Park or on North
27th, Kurk Avenue, Blackwood, 30th, and Meah will directly face negative impacts. The proposed R-5
district does not align with the Bozeman Community Plan, as it would not be in "close proximity to jobs and
services" but situated in an extremely quiet neighborhood at the edge of city limits & clearly does not
promote "compatible urban growth". Furthermore, the effect of the proposed R-5 high-density district on
motorized and nonmotorized transportation systems would significantly disrupt the Meadow Creek
community which has few access points and is not capable of coping with excessive traffic. Lastly, please
consider the impact R-5 development will have on the value of homes in this community. The character of
this district is defined by quiet, wildlife, and open spaces.
I urge the City Commissioners to please visit Ainsworth Park & see what it is like accessing this area by car
or bicycle. And while doing so, I urge the City Commissioners to consider firsthand three things: 1) how
challenging it will be to cope with increase traffic in this tranquil neighborhood; 2) the number of children
playing, community members jogging in the streets, and wildlife in the surrounding fields; 3) and finally,
how impossible it will be to maintain quality of life and value of property should high density housing
development and traffic increases occur. I honestly can't imagine what the perpetual noise, traffic,
disappearance of sandhill cranes, field wildlife, & loss of mountain views will do to quality of life & property
values in this very quiet part of town.
Thank you for your time & service on behalf of the community.
Respectfully,
Forrest
