Please do not approve the current plan for Range 5 south of Four Daughters Farm. We love visiting this
remarkable property which has been an oasis in our changing neighborhood on the south side of
Bozeman. The development would fundamentally change the current landowners ability to work their
land and does not provide infrastructure to support the increase in population. We know Bozeman is
growing but we implore the city to protect the pockets of agriculture that make this place the magical
community it is.
Here are some specifics:
-This development is going to change our ability to farm, with new challenges concerning run offs, soil
and water quality, blockage of southern exposure light and noise pollution.
-It will be adding 500-1,000 cars from this one development without improving arterial routes. Stucky Rd.
is not built for high traffic use. There are no shoulder areas between the ditches on this 2-lane road. We
witness many vehicles in ditches and bikers fear for their life.
-This proposed site of development is home to groves of trees, providing habitat, respite and shade to
wildlife and our livestock. It also offers a tranquil experience for our customers, and now will be hemmed
in by an immediately adjacent block of 3 story Apartment units.
