Hello, Bozeman City Commissioners and Staff:
Denial of this project last year was the right stance to take for the neighborhood surrounding
the proposed "Guthrie." Now you are considering a slightly revised application. Please deny italso.
You must follow our city codes. Specifically and most importantly this project violates the
NCOD standards on scale and mass of the project as well as integration into the existingneighborhood.
Such a building may have a place elsewhere in the City - even though it's not actually the
"affordable" housing that our community needs. Maybe the developer could pursue purchaseof the former KMart lot that remains abandoned and could be a good location for a large
apartment building. It does not belong in a modest neighborhood near an elementary school.
Thank you for listening,Debra De Bode
