Re: Protest of Annexation and Zone Map Amendment-Application No. 24570
To: Bozeman City Commissioners
As the legal owners of real property located at 2447 Thoroughbred Lane, Bozeman Mt,
we hereby submit this formal protest in opposition to Annexation and Zone Map
Amendment Application No. 24570, as noticed for public hearing before the Bozeman City
Commission.
We submit this protest pursuant to Montana Code Annotated #76-2-305, as we qualify as
adjoining property owners.
Statement of Protest:
This application contributes to urban sprawl, a negative in our view.
Baxter Lane West of the roundabout is woefully inadequate to handle the existingvehicle
traffic, much less the traffic generated by a large annexation requesting increased density.
There has been a huge increase in the amount of traffic on Harper Puckett, most of it at
speeds way higher than the speed limit, and this annexation would aggravate that situation.
The parcel contains wetlands used by migratory birds.
We respectfully urge the Bozeman City Commission to reject this application.
