Email: agenda@bozeman.net Mail to: Attn: City Commission PO Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 First Name Sarah Last Name Fitzgerald Email Address sarahfitz@hotmail.com Phone Number 4068300415 Comments Dear Mayor Andrus, Honorable City Commissioners, and Community Development Director Matsen: I am writing with concern about the North Central Development plan. I live within a couple blocks of the project and Villard is my primary route to work and downtown amenities. While I am in full support of urban infill, I am deeply concerned about the scope of this project. My primary concerns are bulleted below: - The plan as presented does not provide enough transition between a towering 6-story building(s) and the single family homes directly across the street. - I am concerned about the significant increase in vehicle traffic and the parking pressure this will bring to the adjacent neighborhood. - I am concerned the commercial spaces will be leased to national chains furthering the loss of the unique neighborhood feel. - I am concerned with cash in lieu of park space and would like to better understand this tradeoff. Is there an opportunity for the project to create a Community Benefits Agreement that commits to supporting local and independent commercial tenants, possibly some affordable housing units as well as addresses other concerns of the neighbors and community at large? Thank you for the opportunity to share my concerns. Sincerely, Sarah Fitzgerald If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
