Regarding the Etha Hotel I can give only general comments at this point. I was concerned about the height of the building,
and whether it would open the flood gates to a competition to build the tallest building in Bozeman. I hope we permanently
limit building height to 110 ft in the downtown area, and less elsewhere. The most expensive real estate is in the downtown
area, and allowing buildings to be higher will make that real estate even more expensive. This then makes it more difficult to
keep housing affordable. At some point the streets become underfit as well. They probably already are. However, my chief
concern is that building height be permanently limited so we can keep a lid on real estate values, to help with efforts to keep
housing affordable. Thank you for your consideration of this issue.
