To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express my concern over the Site Plan #22047 in the Sundance Spring
Subdivision. I understand that the Approved Final Plan for the Planned UnitDevelopment (PUD), which lays out the rules governing development on the site, has
been misplaced and is not available.
With respect to the PUD, Sec. 38.430.040.A.3.d of the Bozeman Municipal Codestates that “Issuance of building permits and other development approvals are based
on the approved final plan and any conditions of approval. No city administrative
personnel are permitted to issue permits for improvements which are not indicated on
the approved final plan.”
Using other documents (such as the original application for the PUD’s Final Plan) as
a substitute for the Approved Final Plan is unacceptable. No document other than the
Approved Final Plan would provide a record of the “conditions of approval.”Therefore, no other document can meet BMC 38.430.040.A.3.d, which requires the
City to base permits on the approved final plan and conditions of approval.
Further, I understand that the city has still not acknowledged that the 1998-era zoningapplies to the site, despite the fact that the 1998-era zoning is specifically identified as
the applicable zoning in the introduction to the PUD’s covenants.
I would ask that the public comment period on this site be paused until such time asthe City of Bozeman has: 1) found the Approved Final Plan for the PUD and made it
available to the public for review, 2) acknowledged the applicability of the 1998-era
zoning to the site; and 3) provided a copy of said zoning for public review. At that
point, I would ask that a customary two-week public comment period be provided sothat the public can review the proposed development against the applicable zoning.
The public should not be left to guess what development criteria apply to a site, as
has been the case during the current comment period. I ask that the city rectify the
issues regarding the current comment period and ensure that the public has twoweeks to comment after the applicable zoning and PUD's approved final plan have
been made available for revlew. It would seem irresponsible and quite negligent on
behalf of the City to act otherwise.
in good faith that you will act accordingly,
