Hello!
I am writing to submit a NEGATIVE opinion of Application 22039: Thriftway Super Stop.
The proposal does not meet Bozeman City requirements for safe access, as required byBMC 38.400.090. The gas station also will impact many homes in the area. Aside from the 24-
hour operation and lights impacting the (many) surrounding residences, Thriftway Super Stoplocations have poor upkeep, are an eyesore, and negatively impact values of surrounding
neighborhoods. Additionally, the traffic generated by an establishment of this nature willnegatively impact the nearby residential areas. Traffic studies that have been completed do
NOT consider future increased traffic that will be added to Baxter Lane, as a result of thisdevelopment.
The other gross gas stations that have been provided as comparable examples are not
comparable at all. None of them have as many homes surrounding them as this proposedbusiness would. None of them would directly impact as many families as this proposed
business would.
The surrounding neighborhoods do NOT want this business. We all want to live in a thrivinghealthy community, and ANOTHER gas station (the FIFTH within LESS THAN two miles) is
unnecessary.
Approval of special use by the city will be a huge disappointment. Please deny. For the sake ofmy kids and my neighbors, please deny.
Thank you so much-
Becky Lonardo
