Regarding the Shady Glen Development, previously, the Bridger Meadows, I am writing to express my concern
once again about this development. Since this development was voted down July 20,2021, I am a bit surprised it is
once again taking up the valuable time of the commission.
The fact of the matter is nothing has changed since the development was voted down the first time. Renaming it
does not change anything in regards to the development.
There is still only one viable point of access into the subdivision. A very major concern is the health and safety of
the neighborhood. The viability of emergency access is very concerning. A gated “secondary emergency access”
which is locked is most likely not even going to be clear in the winter time. In our neighborhood now, the postal
employee only delivers mail part of the time because she cannot access our roadside mailbox because of the build up
of snow.
The property sits on existing wetlands. The developer has asked to reduce the required amount of watercourse
setback which would cause more stress on the land that consistently floods.
The city commissioners have expressed in the past their concern about cul de sacs not promoting traffic circulation
or public health and satety. Of course this development would include one.
Lastly, the development is not representative of an innovative or responsive plan for the needs of the community.
The lots would be unaffordable or unattainable to most of Bozeman.
Thank you for your kind consideration of my concerns.
