Thank you, Sharon Culver From: Eric and Sharon Culver To: Agenda Subject: Overturn the approval of Sundance Springs project #22047 Date: September 17, 2023 Dear Bozeman Mayor and City Commissioners: We urge you to overturn the approval of the Site Plan on Sundance Springs Neighborhood Services Lot 2, Project #22047. It threatens our neighborhood by completely ignoring our Covenants, Developmental Guidelines, and the Sundance Springs Planned Unit of Development (which we understand has been “lost” by the City). We encourage you to visit Lot 2 and just imagine as you look at the surrounding homes and Sundance Springs Open Space and trail system how devastating two commercial buildings, large outdoor patios, fire pits and inadequate parking on just 1.3 acres will be to our quiet, safe neighborhood and trail system. The proposed project does nothing to serve our local needs as intended in the Neighborhood Services Property Covenants. Instead the project will be a destination location for outdoor dining, drinking and entertainment! The Covenants, Developmental Guidelines and PUD do not allow outdoor activities. It will bring a high volume of traffic to our narrow streets which have no curbs, no street lights and are maintained and plowed with funds from our SSROA dues. Please overturn this project for the safety of our neighborhood children, adults and seniors. Project #22047 is so large that they propose to use unapproved access to numerous trails owned and maintained by Sundance Springs homeowners. Only homeowners can grant access to our open space which requires a 2/3 approval vote. We urge you to overturn the approval of the almost complete disregard for our PUD’s mandated Architectural Guidelines that maintain the residential character of Sundance Springs Neighborhood Services. The purpose of the design theme is to blend in with the residential character of the surrounding development. The two proposed commercial buildings are non-compliant with the PUD, the Final Approved Master Plan and Covenants. Please overturn the approval of Project #22047. There are over 200 written public comments opposing this site plan. The 1.3 acres of land could easily be developed to provide the neighborhood services as stated and illustrated in the Neighborhood Services Property Covenants as noted in the Commission’s Finding of Fact and Order from 1996. Thank you for you diligence in examining these facts, Eric and Sharon Culver 4122 E Graf Street
