Hello, my name is Jane Roberts and I live at 1450 Boylan Rd, Bozeman, MT 59715.
I am very troubled with the lack of concern that the City of Bozeman council members have
shown for our safety as residents of the Legends development.
My top two concerns are:
1. Floodplain mapping
It was stated in the plan that the city will close up the culverts to mitigate the flooding. Closing up culverts is not a solution. Once the water is here, it must go somewhere. I do not
think that sacrificing Legends II is an acceptable solution for this problem. Please reevaluateand reassess this area in relation to the flooding from historical records. this area has a
tendency to flood,
As a condition of approval, I would like to suggest that the applicant's flood hazard plan andproposed mitigation be reviewed by an engineer of record to ensure the the operations of the
Legends II system will not be affected by the proposed development.
2. Connectivity of Canyon Gate Boulevard to Northview Street.
There needs to be a connection between Canyon Gate Boulevard and Northview Street, Theonly other current option is Maiden Spirit, Maiden Spirit is a narrow and quiet residential
street with many families living there. Maiden Spirit makes Wallace St. look wide.
It is not acceptable that Maiden Spirit would be the only eastern access to Northview andBridger Drive. I have heard that there are plans by the city to annex this area in the near
future. I believe the time is now.
Based on this future traffic pattern, as a condition for approval, I sincerely suggest that theapplicant should negotiate, in good faith, with Legends HOA to accomplish this connection
and relieve traffic congestion on a very narrow street.
Most Sincerely,
Jane Roberts
