While I have resided in Bozeman for 25 years, I do not live in city limits. Nonetheless I would like to comment on
the idea that the city could permit an exception for the developers of the property behind the Baxter Hotel and Open
Range restaurant to encroach on the stream bank there. I am opposed to that variance. They could have a lovely
patio and landscaping alongside their hotel further back from the stream to allow public access to the stream bank. I
oppose that the developers would have private access to an amenity that should be available to all Bozeman
residents and visitors.
A little fencing or a wall to designate their private property should be required, or at least signage to indicate that
public access is welcomed and permitted to stream banks. In fact, for flood mitigation and urban wildlife access, a
small corridor should be required.
Thank you sincerely for considering this request.
