Thanks for your email and the update on the plans for the vacant land at the entrance to the Park our club adopted more than 20 years ago. Our members have been very active in protecting this area, and in fact, three of those city commissioners who voted against amending the growth policy are members of the Bozeman Sunrise Rotary Club. I am forwarding your message to the key contacts regarding all projects at the East Gallatin Recreation Area—and I can tell you these guys are passionate about protecting the space and knowledgeable about processes and challenges involved in purchasing the property. Doug-Ted-Bill: please read Mr. Blackburn’s email below regarding an alternate plan to commercialize the property at the Park’s entrance, and note the time of the upcoming TOPS meeting on Friday. Anything you can do to show our support would be appreciated.

I am looking to gather support from organizations such as the Sunrise Rotary in order to preserve the entrance to the EGRC as open space and hopefully incorporate the acreage into the existing park. As you may know, the City Commission recently voted unanimously against Amending the Growth Policy that would have changed the future land use classification of this acreage from Parks, Recreation & Open Space to Residential. However, the developer who currently still has the property under-contract now claims he will build a storage facility considering his plans for residential were denied. Time will tell as to whether he will follow thru with this threat. In the mean time, we have applied for TOP(Trails Open Space & Parks) Committee funding in hopes of being able to purchase the land and incorporate it into the existing park. Our application has been well received thus far but, we would very much like your support whether it be written or other. Our next meeting with TOP is this Friday 5/22 at 10am in the Alfred Stiff building, 20 East Olive St. Would you be available for a phone conversation or meeting to discuss further details of our proposed East Gallatin Extension Project?
