Re: Etha Hotel
Dear Sir or Madam:
As a long-time participant and observer of the Bozeman development scene, I’m very
concerned about the precedent potentially being set by accepting the changes after the fact,
pursued without approval by the developer of the Etha project.
The developer in question has been working on this project for many years and is well-versed in
the applicable rules. Were he to be granted the opportunity to make substantial changes to the
project as approved by the Bozeman Planning Department, not only would he be rewarded for
undermining the process that all developers must adhere to, but such an action would open the
City of Bozeman to potential litigation both now and in the future. Truly an unwise precedent.
I truly hope that the Community Development Director will adopt the wise and proper course
and make certain the developer of the Etha is held responsible for building the project as
approved.
Sincerely,
Douglas Braham
