Dear Bozeman City Commissioners,
RE: Shady Glen 22293
We are writing to express our support for the proposed Shady Glen Neighborhood.
Bozeman needs housing and especially needs infill and affordable homes. While Shady Glen is a modest
neighborhood, it permanently protects a large area of pristine wetlands and canopy forest. It will
continue to provide wonderful habitat for the wildlife that frequents the area.
We often walk the trails of the East Gallatin in Glen Lake Park. In the springtime it is not uncommon to
see moose and in the fall not uncommon to see bear.The proposed Shady Glen Wildlife Preserve will
guarantee that these beautiful creatures have a refuge to escape the many dogs that roam the trails.
Infill is never easy or it would already have been developed. Mr. Murphy has presented a project that has
balanced the delicate nature of the site while creating homesites that will be valued for many years to
come.
Sincerely,
Richard and Karen Vinton
