Hello,
I am the homeowner of 1424 Juniper Street and in regards to application 21330, I am strongly opposed.
The proposed change will destroy our currently safe and pleasant neighborhood. Myself and numerous
other homeowners in Walton Homestead and Oak Meadows purchased our homes based on the existing
zoning and potential development opportunities. Changing the zoning to R-4 will negatively impact our
home values, cause major traffic & safety issues and annihilate the "Bozeman feel" that the neighborhood
currently has.
At last weeks Zoning Commission meeting, applicant Garrett McAllister said in reference to application
21330 "it somewhat meets most" of the criteria to change the zoning. How can such an impactful decision
be made based on something that "somewhat meets most"? Before you destroy our investments and
lifestyles, shouldn't the application clearly meet all of the criteria?
It was also mentioned last week that a traffic study has not been done. How is that not a priority to be
completed BEFORE a decision is made? Shouldn't the safety of our community be the number one
concern?
We are all aware that changing the zoning from R-3 to R-4 will result in as many units as possible being
packed into the lot with no consideration taken for the environment or surround neighborhoods. Why else
would one of the only details provided is "cash in lieu of green space"? And why request a zoning change if
a nice cohesive and complementary development is being planned?
Please listen and hear our concerns. REJECT application 21330.
Thank you for your time.
Barbara Fitch
