I urge you to overturn the commercial site plan in Sundance Springs and enforce
the existing PUD, master plan and city municipal codes. Here are just few majorviolations that should have never been approved by the City of Bozeman director
of Community Development.1) Architectural Design: The proposed buildings have a flat roof and looks
100% commercial and therefore is not compatible with the surroundingproperties, which require traditional gable, hip, or shed roof designs. It does
not blend with the styles of housing found in the surroundingdevelopments. There are no flat roofs in any of the adjacent
neighborhoods.2) 2 buildings instead of 1 and outdoor patio space: both of these break the
master plan of only 1 building and all business must be within the buildings.3) Block front standards: building should be adjacent to the road and away
form public trails and open space. The proposed buildings are away fromthe road and encroaches on the open space, public trails, which affects the
wildlife and walkability which the city has promoted for years.All of these are major violations. This style of building has no business in this
neighborhood.It is concerning how this was approved by the city and the director with so many
code violations. This site plan should have never gotten this far in the process.Our government is built on checks and balances. This decision needs to be
checked and overturned. We trust and rely on our city government to protect ourcitizens and neighborhoods. It appears too much power has been given to people
who do not have the best interest of our people of Bozeman, our neighborhoods,and you the commissioners. It is time to get the trust back of our city. All we are
asking is for a building and development that follows the guidelines and codes andwill blend in and be an asset to our neighborhood. That is all. Please over turn this
site plan.
Sincerely, Todd Steinmetz
