To Whom It May Concern,
The Buffalo Run Development is up for review tonight and I wanted to throw in my
two cents. I live at 3381 S 27th Ave. Like almost all my neighbors we have single
family homes. Living in Bozeman we paid top dollar for them, but did so knowing we
were in a safe neighborhood with lots of kids. The Buffalo Run Development would
put hundreds of cars through our neighborhood each day. Needless to say that
doesn't bode well for all the kids riding their bikes around the neighborhood. I don't
want to pick on college kids because I used to be one, but I can guarantee with
almost certainty that the majority of these units will rented by 18-23 year old's. They'll
occupy all 3 rooms of the units and will have 3 cars/drivers to each of the 280 plus
units. They'll make at least one trip in and out of the neighborhood for school or
recreation each day and another for work or shopping. It'll be far more than the what
the traffic study projected at 2 cars per unit. They'll drive faster than the average
single family homeowner and at later hours, I'm an Insurance Agent so I know how
the statistics with this demographic, if it helps I can produce them for you.
There is a place for developments like this, but they're not behind existing residential
neighborhoods. As far as I know this development is the only one of it's kind trying to
go through an existing neighborhood all the rest are either next to campus or being
built along 19th ave. We've also had other higher density projects built off of Graf in
the last 2 years. Those were done in a good location and in a proper density to the
surrounding neighborhood. The proposal by the developers is not, that's why me and
so may of my neighbors strongly urge you to reject it.
Thank You
