Dear City Commissioners,
I am writing to encourage you to once again reclaim review authority over the application forThe Guthrie. This is a very controversial project and its approval is too important to be left
up to one person, especially an interim director of community development.You are well aware of the perception that developers, especially Homebase Partners, have
been given free reign to dramatically alter the nature of established neighborhoods inBozeman. The Guthrie is another example of a massive development overwhelming a
neighborhood, especially one so close to an elementary school. I attended the meeting wherethis project was rejected and was pleased that community members were allowed to express
their opposition. It is important for the citizens of Bozeman to feel that their elected officialsrespond to their concerns and reclaiming the review authority over this project would go a
long way towards this.Thanks you,
John Preston409 S Bozeman Ave
