ATTN: ROSS KNAPPER PO BOX 1230 BOZEMAN, MT 59771-1230 June 01, 2022 Re: Application 21479 - Autumn Grove Condominiums To Whom it may concern: I am 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 Winds neighborhood, 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 this leads to a higher chance of speeding traffic. While this variable is guaranteed, the safety of children and other residents should be an 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 are wary if these guaranteed spots are separate entities to the roadway as there is already a persistent struggle for 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 of Bozeman 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 a limitation on the percentage of renters because of concern of the integrity of the neighborhood and would rather have more owner occupancy than renters. Sincerely, Edward and Tiffany Luke 3016 Flurry Ln Bozeman, MT 59718
