Re: Cottonwood & Ida Preliminary PUD, Application #18516
Dear City Commission,
I write to you as a northeast neighborhood resident and homeowner since 1989. I would
like to formally express my support for the Cottonwood & Ida PUD application. I feel that
this project, as proposed, embodies a number of qualities that are exceptional:
- Creative design with public open space and multiple structures;
- Interesting architecture;
- Underground parking to maintain as much ground surface car-free as possible;
- Permeable landscaping to promote water infiltration and minimize runoff;
- Energy efficient construction;
- LEED certification, in fact the first LEED certified PUD to be proposed in
Bozeman;
- And an overall effort to listen to the neighborhood through the Rudat design
process.
Growth and development is inevitable and I feel the neighborhood is lucky to be offered
something unique that is not merely reverse engineered for maximum financial gain.
Sincerely,
Paul House
