Re: Application 21479 - Autumn Grove Condominiums
To the City of Bozeman Department of Community Development:
We are writing regarding the Application: 21479 and the current advancements in the Autumn
Grove Condominiums site planning as it commences. As current residents of the West Windsneighborhood, many concerns have arisen in conjunction with the viability 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 unsettlement as thisleads to a higher chance of speeding traffic. We already have problems currently with reckless
drivers speeding at 40 mph instead of driving at 25 mph on Hunters Way and Tschache Lane.The safety of children and other residents should be of utmost priority. 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 #21479
insinuates there will be approximately 205 designated parking spots. Current residents arewary if these
guaranteed spots are separate entities to the roadway as there is already a persistent strugglefor space on the road. Lastly, will parking be enforced by the HOA or the City of Bozeman?
Furthermore, as this city expands and grows, the inclusion of sustainable development is
crucial 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 will the Owner-TruNorth Properties utilize this space instead of green space?
Lastly, the variance of the renter to owner occupancy is concerning to our fellow residents. A
higher renter occupancy ensures the deterioration of the neighborhood. I would like alimitation on the percentage of renters because of concern of the integrity of the neighborhood
and would rather have more owner occupancy than renters.
