Hello,
I’m concerned that plan disengages downtown Bozeman from the NCOD. I believe this is a serious mistake. I hope
you will rethink this, and keep the NCOD in the downtown area aligned with the NCOD as it is with the
neighborhoods.
Otherwise, I believe the downtown will lack historic preservation oversight and possibly lose its status with the
National Register of Historic Places - which is key to our communities economic vitality.
My other concern is a missing piece in the total review of what has been stated so far. That is any mention of a true
transition zone between the downtown and the adjoining historic neighborhoods. As it stands now, we have a sharp
edged boundary, and it seems to me and many others that a graduation of height and mass is necessary to integrate
neighborhood with the downtown area.
Thank you for your consideration of these points.
Sincerely,
Jane Klockman
Please note: I’ve watched this town in its various stages of growth for over 90 years, and hope to leave it with a
solid plan for the future.
