Re: Harper's Corner Annexation &Zoning
Application 23127
Dear City Commission:
I oppose the continued push to move forward with the Harper's Corner Annexation & Zoning
with the proposal for a High Density Development of the area as R-3 & R-4. This is the third
letter I have written opposing this development without even recognition of its receipt or
acknowledging my concerns.
I am the owner of two tracts of real property within 150 feet of this application being the owner
of a parcel of land situated in Tract B of COS 415 located in the SW% of Section 27,T1S, R5E
further described as Lot 4 of said tract as shown on Minor Subdivision 26 (film 74 pg 1747) and
the tract located in the SW % of SW % of Section 27, T1S, R5E with address of 1285 Hidden
Valley Road and Geocode 06-0904-27-3-04-01-000.
Please deny the requested R-3 R-4 zoning for this property. As you are aware this tract of land is
in an area currently zoned as AS Rural Residential. High density development is not compatible
with the agricultural zoning. The law requires the City to authorize land uses comparable to the
land uses authorized by the county zoning pursuant to Section 760-2-303, (3) MCA. If you
approve this high density development you will automatically be placing high density residential
areas in conflict with the surrounding community. And you will be destroying a green corridor
with acknowledged year-round streams, wildlife and agricultural activity.
Again, please do not approve the Harper's Corner Annexation and Zoning as R-3 R-4.
Sincerely,
Don Kent
