Hi Mr. Staggs,
I appreciate the concerns and points you have brought up in regards to the application.
I am not aware of the business hours of this specific operation, or mechanism to avoid smellfrom being a nuisance to the adjacent properties, so this will have to be something the
representative provides further information on.
As far as the need for a gas station, and the close proximity to other gas stations along North
19th Avenue, however, the City does not have any specific code regulations, outside of uses
permitted or not within zoning districts, to dictate whether or not this can be proposed anddeveloped here.
In regards to light emission, this is one item that has outstanding comments that must be
addressed by the applicant. The City has specific requirements for outdoor lighting, timing oflighting, and maximum illumination standards which are applicable to this use and
development, with sensitivity to the residential uses across the street and directly adjacent tothe property, to limit and avoid any light emissions on adjacent residential areas (i.e. lights are
downward facing, shielded, certain lighting must be turned off between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00a.m, exception can be made, however, one was not requested within the application at this
time, maximum illumination at the property line to not exceed 0.3 onto adjacent residentialproperties and 1.0 onto adjacent commercial properties and public rights-of-way).
This link provides more information on lighting applicable to this type of development:

Traffic generation is currently under review by our Engineering Department.

Ms Lyon,
I appreciate the detail in your email and will certainly keep a close eye on the timing. While
we know what the B-2 zoning allows there is not one 24hr business in the area. Lightemission, chemical smell and the excess traffic generated from this specific type of all night
business is not conducive to a neighborhood like this. There is zero comparison to thisbusiness location in any other part of town. Not even the Holiday gas on 7th is as intrusive as
this. In addition, with two Town Pumps on 19th, we don't need three gas/convenient superstores with .5 miles of each other. Therefore it adds zero value or convenience to Bozeman or
our neighborhood.
Thank-you,

Hi Mr. Staggs,
Thank you for your comment on the Thriftway Super Stop Site Plan and SpecialUse Permit.
There will be a public comment period on this application, however, that
timeframe has not yet been determined as the application is inadequate at thistime. The applicant and their representative are working to address comments
provided to them from City Staff. Once the application has been deemed adequateand sufficient for approval, the public notice period will begin.
The zoning for the subject property is B-2 which allows for retail, and personal
and convenience uses such as a gas station with automobile fuel sales as a specialuse within this zoning district. This is consistent with the B-2 zoning to the west
of the property which is either presently vacant, or has apartments, offices, gym,and restaurants uses in that area, a component of Baxter Meadows Phase 2 (La
Tinga, Postal Annex, Sundance at Baxter Apartments, etc).
I have cc'ed the representative to make them aware of your concerns, and they canaddress your comments now, or during the public comment period, if they would
like to.
Let me know if you need anything else,

To Whom art may concern,
We in the Crossings 2 neighborhood will fight this application vehemently. Toallow a gas station to be plopped down into a residential area like this is horrific.
We were coded to have open back yards to be neighborly and now you arepotentially going to allow this so we have to look at a Gas station. With the ever
increasing taxes of our properties, we will not stand for your complete shortsighted allowance of eye sores and poor planning.
Please tell us there will be a public comment on this application.
Thanks,
Deny Staggs
