Hello HPAB members,
Thank you for serving the community with your time and expertise in this volunteer capacity.
I'm writing to you today, ahead of tonight's April 17th meeting, to ask you to somehow find a
way to advise the City Commission on their decisions surrounding the Guthrie.
Last night by a unanimous vote the Commission moved to reclaim review authority over theproposed tear down and redevelopment of the old senior care center at the corner of N 5th and
Villard.
They were prompted to make this vote because of a tremendous outpouring of communityopposition to the project from residents of many neighborhoods all across Bozeman, not just
those living in Midtown. As of today there are 146 public comments submitted in regards tothis project.

Nearly 2 hours of oral public comment were given at the April 2nd City Commission meeting.

The 2019 Bendon Adams report recommended that your body act as review authority overapplications for demolition within the NCOD. I know these powers have not been restored to
you. But I see no reason that your board should not be consulted as part of the public reviewon this project.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter, see you tonight.
