I am opposed to the development planned for Story Mill and Bridger Drive.
This development will undoubtedly change the nature of this area and will impact traffic, mountain views,
population density, wildlife habitat, night skies, and noise levels.
Once land is annexed to the city and re-zoned, developers are free to pursue the maximum allowable
commercial and residential densities and building heights and the minimum allowable park designations.
I oppose this proposed rezoning because:
- The zoning is not consistent with the existing neighborhood
- This is not family housing, but luxury second and third home condos and commercial space.
- Emergency vehicles are already slowed by the RR tracks. Do not add houses and people without
addressing this issue.
- Open space for this is below minimum standards, and designed solely for drainage. Everyone in this part
of town lives here for the green spaces, views and wildlife. This developer plans on doing cash in lieu of
open space and parks. This is unacceptable. Legends did the right thing by creating open space and parks.
Do not make an exception for this developer.
- There is absolutely no consideration for the natural wildlife corridor between the Story Hills and Bridger
Creek. Deer, bear and coyotes traverse this corridor nightly.
- It will increased traffic in an area with no plans for an over/underpass of the railroad tracks. Waiting for
trains is already a huge traffic issue.
- The Stockyards has already been preliminarily approved for mixed used commercial and the Cannery
District is only one mile away. How much more mixed used commercial do we need in this area?
- This will make the entrance to Bridger canyon multi-story commercial and multi-story residential buildings
rather than views of the M and Canyon.
- The commercial access is through residential streets. The proposed development plan appears to divert
traffic into quiet, family streets (One street dead ends into an alley)
Thank you for considering my commnents.
