Ross,
I hope you've had a good summer. I'm writing in regards to the proposed plat for Canyongate. I have numerous concerns with the plat as it is designed. In no specific order:
The plat as shown is too dense for the area it is in, and in fact has more units / density than
most of downtown proper. This will result in notable traffic increases, noise and light pollutionfor residents in the neighborhood. Would like to understand the plans to prevent light
pollution, noise etc.
The parking design shows less than adequate parking for the total number of units proposed,let alone for the residential plus retail and includes two giant parking lots. This will result in
overflow parking in adjacent neighborhoods / sub developments. Suggest more parkingstructures with fewer units, or those neighborhoods be moved to a parking permit system for
residents to ensure overflow isn't negatively impacting existing neighborhoods.
The open space / park land is on main thoroughfares (Bridger Canyon and Story Mill) andadjacent to parking lots where the new units are abutting existing homes. These should be
swapped so the development aligns the parks/open spaces towards Legends and to present amore gradual transition from single family homes to 30+ unit condo buildings (which would
be better served adjacent the main streets), and moves the green spaces to be closer to existinggreen space and low density neighborhoods, and not adjacent to blacktop.
So far this developer has taken no feedback from the existing residents, so hopefully our
elected officials step up.
