Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I will limit my comment to my concerns about allowing 8 plexes in the
older neighborhoods. I feel this density will put a great deal of strain on what is already limited parking on the
streets in these neighborhoods. It is already difficult for oncoming traffic to pass on these narrow streets and this
will only get worse with increased density. I believe this could become a safety issue - currently the safest thing to
do is to pull over to let an oncoming vehicle pass and this will be difficult when all parking spaces are occupied. And
this becomes much more of a problem in winter months. I also feel that an 8 plex is not compatible in these older
neighborhoods. While we know that neighborhoods go through changes, a change like this is too great. I believe we
have the right to expect a neighborhood we chose to purchase a home in to maintain a certain amount of the
character that attracted us to it in the first place. Thank you.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
