Director of Community Development,
Please DENY the removal of the mature public trees along W Lamme street as part ofHomebase Partners application 24606 to modify the North Central Master Site Plan. The
developer has already removed more than 10 mature trees that existed on their private propertyon this lot alone. These are public trees, hands off!
There's a reason the trees on Main Street don't grow very large, and have to be replaced more
often than others in our neighborhoods. Trees aren't meant to live in pits surrounded byconcrete.
Also please DENY the requested change to block frontage the applicant is requesting.
Changing from Landscape block frontage to storefront reduces greenspace by way of notsetting the building back from the sidewalk. This will exacerbate the heat island effect of this
area.
It's time to stop allowing sidewalk-to-sidewalk development in Bozeman! We need a return tobalance.
Thank you,
Alison B. Sweeney
