Dear City Commission:
I am writing to let you know my thoughts about the Negative Impacts of R-4 Zoning/Buffalo Run
development on the adjacent Meadow Creek single-family neighborhood.
As a resident of Meadow Creek for over 8 years and a local Bozeman resident for over 30 years, I'm
concerned with this type of mixed-use high density district being close to Meadow Creek due to traffic
increases within a small residential neighborhood to access the proposed development, the safety of kids
next to Ainsworth park (Kurk Dr.) with an increase of traffic and park impact, and what it'll do to
neighboring properties property values.
The Buffalo Run proposal is not consistent with the newly published Bozeman Community Plan.
The water table in Meadow Creek is extremely high. Several properties purge groundwater from crawl
spaces throughout the spring, which drain into a retaining pond on the north side of Ainsworth Park. It is
unknown how the development of the adjoining 20 acres would impact
runoff and water table mitigation currently in place.
Meadow Creek experiences significant water pressure problems already. Additional high-density
development would have an adverse effect on existing property owners; water pressure and supply.
I'm concerned that no new traffic study has been completed yet. The proposal of additional access points
and widening of roads would compromise the character and safety of Meadow Creek.
I'd like you to consider re-zoning this land as R-3 or even R-2 since we aren't close to mixed-use districts,
commercial districts or served by transit.
My hope is that neighbors and land owners don't sell their properties next to this high density project that'll
impact all of our property values.
Thank you for your consideration.
