To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing this email in opposition to the approval of the Thriftway Super Stop Site Plan
which would be located directly adjacent to multiple single family homes in a residential areanear the intersection of Baxter and Davis.
The proposed plan and structures would be the definition of a nuisance per se. It is inherently
flawed and makes no sense given the neighborhood surroundings and abundance of gasstations already available nearby on more accessible routes which are not directly adjacent to
family homes on already crowded high traffic streets.
Besides the detrimental increase in traffic in a family area, the lights and noises from a 24 gasstation would cause significant harm to surrounding neighborhoods. Also given that homes
directly facing the proposed gas station were limited by the City of Bozeman regarding theheights of their privacy fencing, these family homes, limited to a 4’ privacy fence, would be
showered with a non-stop barrage of around the clock noise and light pollution.
More specifically, this application should be denied because it does not meet Bozeman’s cityrequirement for safe access so close to the intersection of Baxter and Davis, as required by
BMC 38.400.090. For this reason, in addition to good common sense by the City of Bozeman,Application #22039 and the special permit required under BMC 38.230.120 should bedenied.
Looking forward to a swift end to this matter and better, more suitable options that will benefitall of Bozeman.
Cheers!
