Dear Commissioners
We find a R4 development out of place in a peripheral area of the city next to Meadow Creek.
The area has not the roads to support the traffic that will be generated by this high density
project. Gran Cielo is R3 and has Graf as a major road and this R4 project will have most of its
traffic emptying into Graf also. To get to Graf the city street of Kurk is not designed for the
volume that will be generated and the option, Fowler will not be any more capable of taking the
cars than Stucky is now. This area is one of many families who have children and the
generated traffic on streets not designed for that traffic will increase the danger level to
pedestrians as well as drivers themselves
The water pressure on the area with both Gran Cielo and this development will tax an already
challenged system. There is no low income housing in the development (which seems to be
the most needed type of housing at present) Low income would have to have access to the
jobs and there are no businesses or other services in a walking range. Also, there is no public
transportation in the area. It would seem that this is the type of project that goes against the
well developed planning our city is trying to accomplish. Growth will happen in Bozeman, but
it must be in accordance with the best planning the city can do and this project as an R4 goes
against that. It would seem that an R3 option would be in context with the area and fit the city
growth plan.
Thank you for your consideration.
Brian and Jeanne Koukol
