HomeMy WebLinkAbout09-04-24 Public Comment - S. Paine - letter-22389Members of the Bozeman Community Development,
I am writing in opposition to the proposed high-density residential development of Gran
Cielo Block 14 MSP Application 22389 for the following concerns:
(1)The residents of Gran Cielo were not provided proper process, nor advance
notification by mail for initial commentary.
(2)Residents were only in recognition of an R-4 zoning proposal and not privy to an
R-5 zoning change at the last HOA meeting. Residents were unaware of the current
proposal of four high density residential complexes, each standing 4 stories high
with outdoor parking. The project would exceed current building heights
characteristic of our 1 to 3 story Gran Cielo neighborhood. In addition, the proposal
lacks unity in scale or a cohesive vision with our adjacent single family homes and
townhomes. A multi family 4 story high project presents a substantially contrary
sustainable vision to the our quiet, family-friendly current community.
(3)The proposal inadequately addresses parking needs and requirements. A proposed
total of 280 bedrooms on plan, exceeds the number of parking spaces provided.
This proposal will extravagantly impact and escalate current neighborhood off street
parking. Consequently, Gran Cielo streets, which the developer has promised to be
no-parking zones, will be unreasonably compounded in parking, density, traffic flow
and neighborhood crowding.
(4)The proposal may have not only short term, but also long term potentially undue
financial implications on neighborhood homeowners.
This letter is a request to redraw the proposal to meet the standards that Cadius Partners,
LLC and Bozeman Haus LLC established with our community and to address
neighborhood concerns listed above.
Thank you in advance for considering these concerns and recognizing that this current
proposal, if stays as is, will have potentially diminishing and life-changing implications on
current families, homeowners and residents of the neighborhood. We do acknowledge the
need for expansion, vision and growth, but also want to ensure that zoning standards,
adjacent community needs and Gran Cielo quality of life are maintained.
Thank you,
S. Paine
