Importance: High
Hello,
Our office received the attached notice today, for tomorrow's meeting, but it said comments must be received
8 days in advance. Obviously we can't make that timeline, but I'm hoping we can refer to the email I had
originally sent about this same issue back in July.
Please review the email below for tomorrow's meeting. In sum, with the heavy traffic this residential street
already receives given the proximity to VHS and VMS, the zoning change from low density to high density
would cause an additional burden on Montana Ave.
Adding 16 dwelling units, with likely 32 or more additional vehicles traveling Montana Ave each day, is just too
much. The school bus route stops directly on Montana in three locations; adding additional traffic on that road
is not a safe choice for our children.
Here is the original email as well:

Hello,
I am writing to provide feedback on the subject case number regarding the proposed rezoning to multi-family
on the small parcel located at 26566 Montana Ave. While I understand the need for additional housing in our
area, I strongly urge the City to keep this zoned for low density residential.
With VMS and VHS in such close proximity, the traffic on Montana Ave is already higher than that of a normal
residential area. In fact, you will see in my email below (sent May 2023 and pending review on Aug 2nd with
the Traffic Commission) alleviation is already needed for the congestion on Montana at Karcher Ave.
This is the same intersection where a traffic fatality occurred just this past April.

If P&Z is considering this approval, I recommend making the multi-unit construction conditional upon road
improvements paid for by the unit Developer. Perhaps a roundabout at Karcher/Montana or even a stoplight.
Adding 16 dwelling units, with likely 32 or more additional vehicles traveling Montana Ave each day, is just too
much for the already congested area as it stands.
I appreciate you taking the time to review my concern.
Thank you,

Subject: Request for right turn lane
Hello,
I'm reaching out to request a right turn lane be installed at the intersection of Montana leading onto Karcher
Rd, located in front of the Gem State Academy.
With the increase in traffic, it's becoming harder and harder to make a left turn onto Karcher from Montana,
so the cars tend to back up. Those of us traveling to the right (in my case, to get my son to VMS each morning)
would benefit from a right turn lane so that we don't 'get stuck' behind those waiting to turn left onto
Karcher.
I believe there is plenty of room for it (see image):

I appreciate your consideration of this request, have a nice day!
