HomeMy WebLinkAbout04-02-17 Public Comment - C. Giuseppe - Black OliveDear City Commission,
Please Do Not Approve the Black Olive Project. The design and size of the building are
diametrically opposed to the spirit of downtown Bozeman. The impact of the parking alone will
change the feel of the neighborhood and directly impact the residents of the neighborhood on a
daily basis.
The scale and architectural design of the building are wrong for this section of downtown. The
proposed building -- a FIVE STORY MONSTROSITY -- is too big. The lot the proposed
building would be built on is not even big enough to support a development of that size, not to
mention that there is already too little parking in that area.
My wife grew up on Bozeman Avenue in a house we plan to continue to occupy, but we won't
feel comfortable bringing our family there if a five story building nearby is built practically on
top of our house, and we fear the value of our house will plummet if the massive building goes
in.
Regards and many thanks for taking this into consideration,
Giuseppe
