Dear Sustainability Board,
Thank you for taking the time to consider and elevate the value of trees and their protectionduring your October 11, 2023 discussion.
As you can see, there is a lot of work to be done. We need to creatively bridge the current
chasm that exists between Bozeman’s environmentally-sounding plans/ policies and thecodification and/or enforcement of environmental protections within the Unified Development
Code (UDC) itself.
While I personally believe we need to completely re-start the UDC update process, I consideryour amendment to better protect trees, water, and other natural resources/sensitive lands a
positive step in the right direction. I encourage you to continue such efforts given theirundeniable relevancy to your climate resiliency and sustainability work.
Sincerely,
Angie Kociolek (representing myself as an individual)

Housing and trees can coexist.
