Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Commissioners Bode, Madgic, and Fischer, and Mr. Henderson-
The BTC appealed to the City Commission on Monday, September, 16, 2024 to reclaimreview of the 7th and Aspen Project. Our understanding is that the review process is already
underway since it needs to be completed within 10 days of the end of the public commentperiod which ended on September,17th, 2024. That means the decision will be made by
October 1st, 2024.
We were pleased to hear from Commissioner Madgic on September 24th, that she would bediscussing our request with her fellow commissioners. Unfortunately, another two days have
passed without a response. We have learned that Jon Henderson may be filling in for Mr.Winn and have cc'd him on this email in case he is the authority to issue a response.
The Bozeman Tree Coalition respectfully requests a response to our letter of Sept. 16th, 2024.
We feel it was a reasonable request and that it deserves a response in a timely manner. Wewould like to know just two things;
1) whether or not you discussed our request, and 2) whether or not you will be reclaiming yourreview authority for the 7th and Aspen project.
Thank you,
Marcia Kaveney

I am writing to follow up on the letter you received from the Bozeman Tree Coalition Co-founders and to find out if, and when, we can expect a reply concerning our request for you
to reclaim the review of the 7th and Aspen project #24-191 and #24-192.
Due to the time sensitive nature of the appeal process, it would be greatly appreciated toknow who will be doing the review and when we can expect a decision.
Thank you,

Please see the attached letter from the Bozeman Tree Coalition and our request for you toreclaim the review of the 7th and Aspen project #24-191 and #24-192 due to the
complicated nature of the application which includes requests for AHO deep incentives,additional departures from code, and possible noncompliance with site plan review
criteria. We discuss this in detail in the letter and hope that you will agree with us that thiswarrants a public hearing process and a City Commission review.
Thank you for reading and considering our comments,
