Im writing this to address what i feel is another example of the city using land that they own
for misuse. Given this parcel is owned by the city of bozeman. Is it not a legal obligation thatbefore transfer, the parcel be apprised and offered to the highest bidder if moved outside the
confines of city ownership? Furthermore the unimproved roadway with neither lights norsidewalks is unsafe for other traffic if this is turned into a pole yard? What a horrible use for a
section of town that is growing and could be used for the city. Why would we be obligated togive this to Northwest energy without the roadway being connected as planned over to
Manly? You can clearly walk this and see the connection to the bozeman yard. It could makea killer new planning office is prob worth close to 2 mill and does not yet even have
connectivity to the other yard. As a neighbor i think this area deserves a better option than togive this parcel to Nortwestern energy....its almost borderline scandal. When other
developments are forced to provide parking fix roadways and improve areas for the greatergood of the neighborhood. Why are we letting a private company with gobs of resources
extort the finite resources and land opportunities of the city. Application 22174
