Koch Street Demolition
Good afternoon, Mayor Krauss and fellow commissioners:
As a preservationist, as a citizen of Bozeman, and as a member of the Bozeman
Historic Preservation Advisory Board, I was saddened and disappointed to hear of the
recent demolition of the house at 402 W. Koch with no regard for the City process. I
am grateful and appreciative of the quick action of City Staff in the issuance of a Stop
Work Order even though the damage had essentially been accomplished.
I would encourage you to impose strict restitution for the blatant disregard of City
process, the loss of an irreplaceable contributing resource to the Cooper Park Historic
District, and to establish a precedent where by this kind of action will not be tolerated
by our City or our City leaders.
Thank you for your deepest consideration.
Regards,
Pat Jacobs
