5th and Villard
(The Guthrie)
To whom it may concern,
We.strongly object to the proposed Guthrie development using the incentive:
38.380.030.B.3.d.No minimum on-site vehicle parking requirement, but bicycle parking standards still
appl.
The proposed Guthrie building has 91 units, including 13 with two bedrooms. While
some occupants may not have vehicles and utilize the bicycle parking, this is not entirely
practical in this winter climate. Some of the 78 single bedroom apartments may have
working couples living in them, (two vehicles) and some of the 13 two bedroom
apartments may also have two vehicles.
For discussion purposes, let's say that 75% of the total units will have at least one vehicle
(68 cars) and 60% of those units will have two vehicles (41 cars). This potential 109
vehicles minus the 36 parking spaces the development provides means there will be 73
vehicles parking around the neighborhood?n addition to the occupants and businesses
already there.
This will turn our neighborhood into a traffic jam. Parking conflicts between existing
residents, their guests and businesses are inevitable. Snow plowing, street cleaning etc. will
be very difficult. Parents picking tip kids from Whittier will contribute to the traffic jam
twice a day.
We realize the need for more housing in Bozeman. In this case however, the developer is
packing in the maximum apartments and that income at the expense of the quality of our
neighb h d.
