I see the commission is now revisiting this issue. I am going to reiterate my feelings that those
of us who purchased homes in Bozeman that are in the R-1 zone are not interested in being
surrounded by 8 plex’s or Vacation Rentals! We purchased with the knowledge that we would
always be surrounded by single family homes and that is why we purchased where we did.
Unfortunately when we first heard about the rezoning proposal we researched our initial HOA
covenants and are in the process of getting them rewritten and restated so that we can be the
building police in our neighborhood. This cannot be what the city commission wanted or
intended when researching this issue. Our hand is forced by the fear that the commission will
indeed adopt the one size fits all zoning.
Our request is that the commission leave current neighborhoods zoned R-1 single family alone
and if indeed you see the need for future development for this to be allowed, zone them that
way so all owners know what they are getting into. It make no sense to now allow what is
proposed in existing neighborhoods. Thanks for listening. Dan and Bertie Rust 114 W Arnold
