PROTEST OF APPLICATION 23047 (Jarrett Subdivision}
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is written in protest of the proposed rezoning ofthe Jarrett Subdivision, application
23047 within the City of Bozeman. The developer is requesting to amend the zoning map from
Rl to R2. .
As a neighbor and adjacent property owner to the Jarrett Subdivision, I would like to understand
the reasoning for the increased density as it will greatly devalue my property and the adjacent
community of Alder Creek. The expansion of Bozeman is inevitable, but continuing to add high
density housing to desirable areas will leave the town with a scattered layout and devalued
property. I would also challenge the need for additional, high density housing in this specific
area as there are many other R2 and multi-family complexes going up around Bozeman in more
appropriate areas. I fear that that the pull to increase high density housing in this area of town
is misguided arid takes away the desirability of living in the adjacent neighborhoods. Congestion
and infrastructure are already seeing strain and moving toward more density doesn't make
sense for this subdivision. Please reconsider and chose not to amend from Rl to R2, and if
nothing else, please consider keeping the area South of Graf Street zoned Rl.
Thank you for the consideration.
