Hi Chris and Phillip,
I submitted this comment last week. It didn’t make it into the running list of NCODcomments, so I’m sending it directly to you.
It’s my response to Chris Naumann’s comment about my earlier letter/public comment. Since
Chris had an opportunity to contact you directly via email, I thought I’d do the same.
The comment is forwarded below. Another public comment was posted on that list that verysame day, so I expected to see my comment shared there as
well. http://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink8/Browse.aspx?startid=157844
Please pass it along to the consultants and any other city staff who are involved in this NCODreview.
Thanks!

COMMENT: "There needs to be a considerable amount of public education about the differences between
historic preservation and neighborhood conservation and neighborhood associations. Most folks see the
maps being used and think everything shaded in a color is a designated historic district...ex. NENA = historic
district. A first step would be to stop showing HDs and NAs on the same map...always show them on
separate maps.”
RESPONSE: Agree that neighborhood associations are different than historic properties and this should be
differentiated. The NCOD is an excellent conservation tool because it preserves the historic integrity of the
properties between historic districts. In addition to the various historic districts, which are all shaded in
different colors, there are many properties that are individually listed on the National Register of Historic
Place and these should also be shown on NCOD maps. Furthermore, there are many properties outside the
existing historic districts that have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register, and these
should also be shown on NCOD maps since they carry the same protections. Altogether, these various
property types and designations fill up the 1991 NCOD boundary map. Finally, some of the properties that
were determined non-contributing within a district and some of the properties determined non-eligible for
individual listing outside of historic districts, back in 1991, may in fact be eligible today! This is why – before
making any decisions to change to the NCOD boundary – it is very important to fund a proper historic
building survey to assess and include properties that have become historic since the NCOD was established.
Who knows – we may want to expand the NCOD boundary.
The NCOD is why Bozeman has retained its sense of place over the past 27 years of growth and it is one of
the best historic preservation tools in Montana.
Thanks!
