Buildings: Stillwater Bend Lift Station – Hwy 93 N – new building – Kari presented
lift station plans. The committee discussed the wall height and material;

more screening on the north to the west. Mark motioned to approve with
the condition of using black chain link fence, Cara 2nd, approved with
condition (5-0).
Glacier Bank – 146 S Main St – remodel – Mike Smith from Glacier Bank
explained that the reason for the changed plans is due to cost and
availability of brick that matches the existing brick. They also want more
branding like their Buffalo Hill branch. Ned from Jackola presented the
new plans that replace the brick with nichiha panels between the north
building windows, brick cornices on both buildings, lighter panels
between the windows, and an historic histography. Lengthy discussion
was held regarding the lack of cohesion between the 2 buildings and use
of brick to tie them together. Mike asked if painting the stucco instead
would require ARC approval; Kari advised him that it is required and that
the color would need to be one of the suggested colors from Downtown
Kalispell Historic Standards. Cara explained the committee’s suggestions
of bricking the 2 columns on the north building up to the awning so there
is brick at pedestrian level and having a cornice at the top to Ned and Mike.
Discussion was held regarding material use within the Downtown
Kalispell Historic Standards; Kari clarified the standards for the
committee (how material fits in with adjacent buildings) and suggeste
bringing photos of the adjacent buildings to the next meeting to Ned and
Mike. Cara moved to table, Robin 2nd, approved to table to 11/22/22
meeting (approved 5-0).
