Good Afternoon,
I have reviewed the proposed plans for the Cattail Creek Park Corridor. As a
resident of the West Winds Community, I appreciate the focus and
investment in this space. Over the years, I have enjoyed watching numerous
individuals enjoy soccer, flag football, frisbee, even a game of catch
between a parent and child take place in this space. The open space
adjacent to our home was a strong reason we purchased in this area.
However, the addition of a pickleball/multi-use court not 100 feet from my,
and my neighbor's, front doors is NOT a welcome addition. The congestion,
traffic, and noise that this will generate seems contradictory to the overall
goal of the project.
The current plan does not include any type of noise abatement for this court.
The following article suggests without proper noise abatement, or
enclosure, the acceptable distance for a pickleball court to a residence is
approximately 500 feet.

There are other nearby locations within the area that are better suited for the
placement of a sports court, namely the Gallatin Valley Regional Park.
Thank you for your time,
