Dear City Commissioner,
As the parent of two children attending Hawthorne School, I am writing out of concern for the
Taproom’s application for a liquor license and the proximity of this establishment to our school. I am
concerned about the impact of a bar serving hard alcohol during school hours across the street from
my kids’ school. I remain concerned about a bar serving beer and wine, and wish this concern would
have been addressed earlier. However, allowing a bar to start serving hard alcohol during school
hours within 100 feet and highly visible from the classroom windows as well as parent pick up and
drop off sites is unacceptable. I expect that the City of Bozeman and the Bozeman School District
will continue to provide a safe learning environment for my children. Please deny the Taproom’s
request to the City for a conditional use permit for a full beverage license. Granting such a permit is
not in the best interest of the children or Bozeman community.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this important matter.
Sincerely,
Amy Korten
