Dear City Commission Members:
Our names are John P. and Judy L. Hickey and we live at 4116 Rain Roper Drive, Sundance
Springs Subdivision, Bozeman. Earlier you approved the site plan for 22047 and we request you overturn your prior decision
based on the following facts.
1) The City lost the Approved Sundance Springs Planned Unit Development's final MasterPlan. Without the final Master Plan, there is no legal basis to proceed. Despite this fact, the
City continued the process of approving this site plan.
2) The approved site plan violates many PUD development guidelines. Some examples are: a. It approved two two-story buildings. Only one one-story is allowed.
b. It approved flat roofed buildings with mostly large glass exteriors. The flat roofs and glassexteriors are not allowed.
c. Approved extensive outdoor infrastructure for outdoor activities. ALL OUTDOORactivities are prohibited.
3) The City approved three exceptions to city codes. These departures are required to enhance
the site plan. Some examples that do not comply with the Planned Unit Development are:a. Building placement violates numerous codes like setbacks, open space requirements,
permissions to access trails.b. Parking in front of buildings violates safety codes, among others.
Your earlier approval of this site plan is in error. This neighborhood was planned with the
intention of preserving an area for a safe family area. These buildings are in non-compliance with the original intention of Sundance Springs Subdivision. Please
reconsider your decision.
Respectfully Submitted,
John P. and Judy L. Hickey4116 Rain Roper Drive
