Dear Bozeman Community Development Board:
My name is David Parker, and I live at 3301 S 27th Avenue, across the street from the
proposed annexation and zoning proposal. I would support this proposal IF and ONLY IF theboard addressed the following items:
1. The trees that exist on the property along the drainage ditch, which are the homes to wildlife
and several large raptors, must be protected. Without this, I cannot support this annexation andzoning change.
2. I understand the need for more and higher density housing. What I would like to see,
however, is an effort for the City to take seriously the plowing of our streets and the extensionof the Streamline to Meadow Creek. Between this construction,, the mixed use proposal at
Bennett, and Buffalo Run, I know the amount of traffic in front of my house (I live at thecorner of Graf and Kurk) will increase considerably. Please--for the sake of the noise, the
traffic, and for the environment--extend the Streamline so that those of us who commute to theuniversity (not an inconsiderable number of folks) can do so. If you want high density
development, then bring the appropriate mass transit infrastructure with it. If you don't do this,I can't support it.
So, I'm supportive IF the city is serious about addressing the increased traffic with mass transit
options and if they make sure the developer protects the existing wildlife. If not, I'm opposed.
Dave Parker
