Dear Commissioners,
I am writing to encourage you all to please honor and approve the
neighborhood-level zoning change our Bon Ton neighborhood has
put forth before you.
The Bendon Adams report addresses, quite clearly, what our
neighborhood has been realizing/is now expressing, that there is a
large disconnect between what used to be considered "dense"
development within a residential neighborhood, and what is now
the actual lot and height maximizing development driven by a
developer's financial bottom line.
It is a fact our Gallatin Valley, let alone our inner Bozeman
neighborhoods, are inherently losing the character and
historical charm because of the scale, building materials, and pace
at which things are being built. Charleston SC would not be able to
capitalize upon its southern origins if the zoning changes this city is
considering were implemented.
A Sense of Place can not simply be built, it takes generations of
people and their relationships with one another, and to their
community, to layer in that Sense of Place -- yet it only takes one
five story, multi unit building, maximized in all directions, to
degenerate what once was a close, core neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Laura Fedro
