Good Morning Members of the Community Development Board and City Commission.
Thank you for your hard work managing growth and helping make Bozeman a better place.
When considering the proposed increase in development intensity in the R-A zoning district,
please give careful consideration to preserving solar resources of existing homes.
Sunlight is a valuable resource for quality of life, gardening, and as a functional energy source.
Please reduce the wall plate height limit to 20' and include a 45 degree roof setback plane onthe north aspect of any new construction. This will help reduce impact on solar resources
available to the neighbor to the north of any new construction.
I appreciate the desire for increased development in the city core. Please do not allow this
development to block the sun for existing properties. Built 5' from the property line, a 25' plateheight with a gambrel style roof above that will completely shade an entire home to the north
of such construction.
Thanks again for managing this difficult task.
Best Regards,
Martin Johnson
