Dear Mayor Andrus,
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 begenerated 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. Toget 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 carsthan 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 dangerlevel 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 thedevelopment (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 otherservices 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 developedplanning 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 anR4 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.
