I am writing in support of the appeal of the above application.
The Guthrie application does not meet any of the design criterion standards in code section38.230.100.A.7 which have to do with the design integration with the existing neighborhood.
City Staff do not have the right to waive compulsory NCOD standards to the form, mass orscale of the proposed building - the development is not compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.The developer is the only one who benefits from this development.
These developments are inflating land values and taxes and decimating the surroundingneighborhoods, which are Bozeman's most affordable. They should not bear the brunt of the
City's "develop at any cost" initiative.Thank you for your time and consideration,
Laura Merante
