Hello to Bozeman Mayor and City Commissioners,
This is a protest letter against the Guthrie. As a neighbor and home-owning resident living 4 blocks away
from the proposed project, here are the issues I see:
1) Parking for 111 units of 2 persons each could mean 222 cars. I hear the proposal offers only 30
parking spaces!
2) Affordable housing for 50% of the studio apartments? Renting these smaller 375 sq. ft. studios for
$1,684 a month would be $4.49 a sq. ft. Renting a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment elsewhere in Bozeman for
$3,000 a month would be $3 a sq. ft.
Once all these new North side apartments are in full rental swing, we will see the parking problems that
come with using "street parking" to handle cars that their building's parking spaces don't accommodate.
It's clear that no city commissioners live in areas affected by this congestion. It's a difficult problem to
solve in hindsight. Please take more consideration with these projects.
Thanks,
Mary Wagner
