Excellent plan with a few exceptions.
*Stepped story design is good, however, there is no governance regarding rooflines. All new high-rise buildings
currently being built in Bozeman have flat roofs. Please consider some kind of encouragement for developers to
make their rooflines interesting before it’s too late.
*If the new buildings, whether in the city center or in the neighborhoods, can be picked up and transferred to Dallas
or Detroit, they do not belong in Bozeman. Please consider other resort strong areas which have restricted this kind
of development and continued to enhance our their original character.
*Yes, it might be more expensive for developers to develop with these requirements in mind, but true Bozemanites
do not want growth for growth sake but want it done correctly to preserve Bozeman’s character. The planning
commission should have architectural guidelines which stick to this type of development.
Thank you for your hardwork.
