Yount - Application 23306From:Maggie Yount To:Bozeman Public Comment Subject:[EXTERNAL]Application 23306 Date:Monday, November 11, 2024 8:48:22 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, As a business owner who lives and works south of the planned building site for “Range 5,” I am writing to strongly oppose this development. Not only will it harm nearby farmers, it will destroy precious habitat for wildlife, it willnegatively impact traffic and roads, which will then endanger cyclists and pedestrians. This part of Bozeman is sorely needed as an undeveloped place. This is part of what makes Bozeman special.Developing this area will harm not only the quality of life of those who live next to the planned development, but also those of us further south and my clients who must travel by carto get to me - most of them pregnant or newly postpartum. An increase in traffic in this area, which is not designed to handle more cars, puts my clientele in danger. More cars = moreaccidents. Building out this area will cause harmful runoff, soil erosion, and directly harm our Bozemantreasure, the 4 daughters farm. I and my family strongly oppose developing anything more on the south side of Stucky. It’s ruining our beautiful valley. Please stay in your integrity and dig in your heels to oppose developers who care only aboutprofit, not preserving what makes Bozeman special. I know, my uncle is a developer himself. Putting cheaply made APARTMENTS (that do far have all been hideously ugly in the otherareas that have been built out), does nothing to help with affordable housing, or increase property values of our neighborhoods long term. You will be destroying something beautiful to build an eyesore. This does nothing to furtherthe beauty, value, public land use of Bozeman, or address Bozeman’s housing crisis in any meaningful way. Please do not proceed with this plan. Sincerely, Maggie Yount Whole Healthy Mama & Whole Mama Fit: There's a better way to get fit during pregnancy, for birth, and beyond.
