Hello I wanted to give my input on the downtown area of Kalispell. What is attractive about the downtown area is its
beauty and his historic charm. The majestic trees and the historic Victorian homes mixed on among the antique
buildings on Main Street really are a sight to behold.
I own several properties downtown with large lots but have refrained from from adding a second unit because the city
will not permit me to add a detached Cottage or guest house. Zoning only allows for attached units.
I feel that this would deteriorate the value and the beauty of the neighborhood because it would resemble an
apartment community and these gorgeous homes would lose their character.
I like the idea to allow a smaller detached Cottage or cabin to be built on to the existing large Lots in downtown Kalispell
not only to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the era these homes were built in but also to provide much -needed
housing for people who were born and raised here that are being displaced.
