Knapp - 21479 Autumn Groves SPCity of Bozeman Department of Community DevelopmentATTN: KNAPPERPO BOX 1230MT 59771-1230June 01. 2022Re: Application 21479 - Autumn Grove CondominiumsTo Whom it may concern:We are writing regarding the Application- 21479 and the current advancements in theAutumn Grove Condominiums site planning as it commences. As current residents ofthe West Winds neighborhood, many concerns have arisen in conjunction with theviability of this area. These proceedings include but are not limited to:• Public safety traffic incidentals.• Parking.• Accessible green spaces.• Liability of a higher renter population.Intending to increase the number of residents of this neighborhood raises unsettlementas this to a higher chance of speeding traffic. We already have problems currentlywith drivers speeding at 40 mph instead of driving at 25 mph on Hunters Wayand Tschache Lane, The safety of children and other residents should be of utmostpriority. We are requesting a thorough traffic study to be conducted on Windward Ave,Autumn Grove St, Tschache Lane, and Spring View Ct.With roadways in consideration, automobile parking on-site plan application #21479insinuates there will be approximately 205 designated parking spots. Current residentsare wary if these guaranteed spots are separate entities to the roadway as there isalready a persistent struggle for space on the road. Lastly, will parking be enforced bythe HOA or the City of Bozeman?Furthermore, as this city expands and grows, the inclusion ofsustainable development iscrucial to biodiversity and recreational purposes. The Parks Department and the City ofBozeman approved cash in lieu of a park from the Owner-TruNorth Properties. How willthe Owner-TruNorth Properties utilize this space instead of green space?Lastly, the variance of the renter to owner occupancy is concerning to our fellowresidents. A higher renter occupancy ensures the deterioration of the neighborhood. Wewould like a limitation on the percentage of renters because of concern of the integrity ofthe neighborhood and would rather have more owner occupancy than renters.Sincerely,/-)^^{^^^t^/5fi ft' ^napf/ 7^9 ^n^ ^u) ^West Winds Concerned Neighbors]^zcm^ffr)T ^7^I
