RE: Thriftway Super Stop Site Plan & Special Use Permit, Application #22039
We strongly oppose the project referenced above and ask that you NOT APPROVEit. Within 1.0-1.7 miles, we have FOUR GAS STATIONS. There is absolutely no need
for another-especially, a 24-hour business within a prime residential area.
Statistics show that gas stations attract a variety of crimes, especially those with
extended hours. Also, there are increased health risks associated with gas stations
due to hazardous materials and air pollutants.
Above all, I understand this proposal does not even meet Bozeman’s city
requirements for safe access so close to the intersection of Baxter and David, asrequired by BMC 38.400.90. For this reason, Application #22039 and the special
permit required under BMC 38.230.120 should be denied.
