Dear Bozeman City Commissioners,
I am writing in support of the Armory Hotel project and the appeals you are considering on April 6. I havebeen part of the Bozeman community for nearly 23 years and living downtown for over a decade. As amember of this community and a downtown homeowner (Lamme and Bozeman), the Armory Hotel is avaluable addition to the landscape of Bozeman’s downtown. I am grateful that the developers build onthe historic Armory building and am so impressed with how they retained the look of the historic building.
The efforts associated with the recommended EIFS Condition adjustments seem to be unreasonable. The
structure is aesthetically pleasing and the changes have substantial impacts on the development while
having what appears to be little impact on the outward end result.
Regarding the appeal from the neighboring condominium board, mechanical equipment is visible on
buildings throughout downtown. The idea that 5 West property values are impacted negatively by
screened mechanical equipment is suspect and not grounds for moving the equipment or requiring
more/different screening that is already intended.
I support this project moving forward without burdening it with undue additional expenses.
Thank you for consideration of these comments.
