Department, Bozeman City Commission,
Before you is a site plan proposal that asks that you substantially ignore or abrogate a PUD and Covenants to which
the City of Bozeman is an originating party.
Even if one imagines (like the applicant apparently would have you do) that there were no PUD and Covenants, the
proposal describes structures that will be ill-fitting, lit-up-like-a-Christmas-tree eyesores, with an outdoor gathering
space that will be a never-ending neighborhood nuisance. The design is put forward with the underlying assumption
that most parking - especially for the party patio - will occur on our narrower than normal neighborhood streets, that
are lined by mowed grass, that lack curbs and gutters, and which are not engineered to be safely used when crowded
with parked vehicles.
To “green” things up, the applicant even assumes that Sundance Springs property owners are willing to have
additional walking and riding trails built on our private land because the proposed buildings and the party patio hog
the applicant’s ground space, that should contain the sidewalks and parking necessary to serve the imagined brick,
glass and metal monoliths.
Fortunately the homeowners in Sundance Springs, in contract with the City of Bozeman, have legally binding rules
that protect our neighborhood from this kind of film-flam shadery. I urge you to reject this plan in its entirety.
Present the applicant with the carefully crafted guidelines in our PUD and Covenants and and insist that they are
strictly followed in any future proposals.
Thank you for enforcing the long-standing pledges made by the City of Bozeman that protect our tranquility, homes
and neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey King
