BLACK AND OLIVE PROJECT
1. Please take into consideration the people who will be affected the most by this project, the
neighborhood residents. What was once a quiet unassuming neighborhood will become a congestion point
for both people and vehicles. Right now there isn't a problem with either, but with not enough parking for
all of the units and the businesses that will be located on the bottom floor of the project, a congestion point
will be created.
2. Not enough parking. I can envision difficulties between neighborhood residents and project residents
over parking. Not enough parking for project residents and they will park down the street in front of
people's homes. Not a good neighbor, creating tension and bad blood between project residents and
residential folks.
3.The majority of Bozemanites do not favor this project, and since the commissioners have been elected to
represent the people, it is your job to vote for the people of Bozeman!! If you do not, you will have lost the
respect and confidence of your constituents, and subsequently do not belong in office!!!
In addition, if this project is approved, the city of Bozeman will be setting up unfavorable precedence for
the next project similar to this one!!!
4. The project footprint overwhelms the site footprint which is a quarter of an acre. The proposed project is
enormous, a monolith, too big for the site!!! The neighbors are not opposed to the site being developed,
but within reason. This building is beyond reason.
5. Fifty six units is not the solution to Bozeman's housing problem, nor will it stem the sprawl issue. That is
an issue of economicsl, personal income!!! Infill equals gentrification. Downtown will and does accomodate
people of a higher economic bracket. Those are the folks who will be buying up downtown properties. The
areas to the west, the sprawl, are going to serve people of a lesser income bracket, therefore sprawl will
not be eliminated.
6. When asked about unit pricing, Mr. Holloran could not give a direct answer, he said whatever the market
will bear!! Given the fact that a vacant lot on the south side of Bozeman went for $375,00, and the
condominiums adjacent to the Wilson school started at 1,000,000, the starting prices will not be within
range of the average Bozemanite!!!
Please vote against this project. It does not belong in this location!!!
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
