To Whom It May Concern-
I am a home owner in the Meadow Creek subdivision for several years and can say that this
community has been surrounded by untouched farm land since its creation. We have investedin expensive high quality homes due to this fact. Since buying an overvalued home here and
paying thousands of dollars in special assessments levied by the city of Bozeman, there havebeen many high density projects in the area. All of these place thousands of people in a small
area with terrible building designs.
I am against this proposal and development.
Placing a low income housing project in the middle of a farm field, next to million dollarhomes in a quiet established neighborhood is a travesty. You will be wrecking the peace in an
existing subdivision with increased crime.
I am against this proposal and development.
First off, this is located far from resources that impoverished people need. This property needsto be near grocery stores and public transit. None of this is close by. The fact that the city
would allow this to happen is beyond my comprehension. It seems that ill conceiveddevelopment is wrecking this community. There is no doubt that affordable housing is needed,
just not in locations adjacent to affluent communities. Allowing Buffalo Run to be built in thatarea is another example of poor choices. Allowing that development has caused that neighbor
to sell a nice property because of it. The initial developer wanted to build a nice high endhousing with 2 acre lots. The city said no to that. There has to be a balance. Not everything
needs to be high density in existing HOAs.
Once again, I am against this proposal and development.
The city of Bozeman is allowing unfettered development that has wrecked this community.What a terrible time for this town and area. Complete travesty.
