Dear City Commissioners.
As a resident of Bozeman, I am asking you to use your authority to oppose this
project's design which does not follow the NCOD guidelines. The Site ReviewCriteria calls for designing around significant existing vegetation.
This beautiful and healthy spruce is a Bozeman landmark and has been a resident
of this town longer than any of us. It deserves our respect and honor for the hardwork it has done and is continuing to do for our air quality and lowering
temperatures in the summer months which are only going to get hotter! Thesenew buildings do not make allowance for anything life-giving or green to exist.
Please use this event to stand up to the kind of development that has no concern for the
environmental laws in place nor respect for creatures other than black and white structuresmade of steel and concrete. That you continue to allow these structures to take over our high
line and sky views is turning this once quaint and picturesque town into a sterile abominationof the worst examples of modernity.
Look at this image and do the right thing for our community. I am outraged that you would
even consider allowing any developer to remove this tree!
