Hello,
I am a resident of the NE side of Bozeman, at 404 W Beall St.
I was deeply disappointed and concerned to learn about the Guthrie development.
I urge the commission to reclaim review authority and guide this project toward a familycentric, parking appropriate, height appropriate, and ethical living environment. It is truly
unethical in my view to call this project "affordable housing" with the proposed %AMI andpercentage of "affordable" units.
The number of units, unbelievable lack of parking requirements, and change to height
requirements are inappropriate for the area. Additionally, the seemingly sneaky way this hasbeen allowed dramatically reduces my respect for the City governance, and breaks my trust in
this system. Those involved need to make the hard decision - who do you serve? Are you inservice to the residents of this community, or to the developer's profits?
The proposed lot is a great spot for more housing, but what is currently proposed appears to
me to be disrespectful to the neighborhood and will not provide future Guthrie residents with ahuman centric living situation.
Thank you for your consideration,
Nellie Brushaber404 W Beall St
