>>> Dear Sarah Rosenberg:
>>>
>>> I oppose Bridger Meadows applications #20350, 20351 for the
>>> following reasons:
>>>
>>> 1. The proposed Bridger Meadows development will have only one
>>> means of access and egress. This is contrary to Code #38.400.010A
>>> and creates a significant safety concern. In addition, it is my
>>> understanding the developers intend to deviate from Code
>>> #38.410.040B and have a longer block length than code allows. This
>>> would make it even more difficult and dangerous for fire and
>>> emergency vehicles to maneuver. The proposed road into the new
>>> development would be raised by several feet and would be positioned
>>> right along side the existing walking trail and only a dozen or so
>>> feet from existing townhouses; this is dangerous because of exhaust
>>> fumes and because of the increased probability of accidents to
>>> pedestrians on the walking path.
>>>
>>> 2. In addition to the above noted safety concerns there would be a
>>> significant negative impact on existing property. The proposed
>>> development is in a flood plane. As already noted, the developer
>>> plans to build their road above the existing townhouses. This is a
>>> flooding concern.
>>
>> There are good reasons for the existing city codes. There are no
>> good reasons for violating them. The Bridger Meadows development
>> should never take place.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
