TO: Bozeman City Commissioners and
Bozeman City Clerk
The original appeal hearing on Site Plan 22047 was scheduled for September 26, 2023.
Prior to that date, over a hundred concerned citizens sent testimony to the Commission via
this portal.
That September 25th meeting was postponed twice, once to allow the parties to engage in
mediation and a second time to allow the Commission to re-seat members after the election
and other changes.
Somewhere there is a file with all of those 2023 submissions for the Site Plan Hearing. I request that
someone in the Clerk’s office or on the Commission transfer those letters into the current file of
letters and testimony that is being assembled for the re-scheduled hearing on January 27th.
The comments made by folks who submitted for the September meeting are still accurate and
timely. It seems grossly unfair to file them away in a “2023” file someplace when those
who wrote those letters did so within the obligatory timeframe for the September meeting. Moving
and re-scheduling the Commission’s September hearing on this matter should not expunge the efforts
citizens took to express their opinions and concerns pertaining to the hearing.
Please move all comments, letters and testimony into the file that is currently being assembled for
the meeting that will finally be held next week. That file is available to the public and it should contain
ALL OF THE COMMENTS the public have made regarding this appeal.
For benefit of the new Commissioners and as well for the veterans, there is yet another file from 2022 that has letters
and comments that were made at the time the initial application was submitted for Planning review. More than
a hundred comments are in a file that was likely assembled in 2022. Would it be possible to make those
letters available to the Commissioners prior to the rescheduled Appeal hearing next week?
I would like to hear back from the Clerk on this matter, this week if possible.
Thankyou for your efforts to make public comments readily available to the City Commissioners
and easily viewable to the pubic in one online file .
