To whom it may concern:
I reside in South Bozeman adjacent to Sundance Springs, and I'm writing to express
my opposition to the proposed Sundance Springs Commercial Development, site plannumber 22047.
While I accept that commercial development on this site is inevitable, I oppose the
nature of the proposed development, as well as the requested departures from lawsdescribing the City's block frontage standards.
One of the best things about our neighborhood is the quiet, tranquil open space and
the trails established by the Sundance Springs PUD.
So, it's puzzling why a developer would design a project that would so clearly violatethe character of our residential neighborhood.
Even more puzzling is that the City Commission could consider a plan that is so
incongruent with the surroundings.
I urge the City commission to discard the current proposal in favor of a development
that is complementary to our peaceful residential neighborhood.
There are any number of commercial developments that would fit more appropriately
in our neighborhood, and that would not degrade the surroundings or impose insultssuch as noise, odors, and increased traffic.
Thank you for listening and for your consideration.
Deuteronomy Chapter 22, Verse 10 “You shall not plow with an ox and ass
together.”
Commercial property does not belong in a neighborhood.
