Subject: EXTERNAL Rescind the warming center conditional use permit
I request that you rescind the conditional use permit of the warming shelter due to the fact that it is a
dangerous addition to this neighborhood and to the city of Kalispell in general.
I have witnessed many disturbances including things that have happened on my own property as well as
seeing others be harassed on the street. These incidents have caused fear and anxiety in my family and
we do not feel safe in the neighborhood. Prestige Assisted Living for the elderly is in the neighborhood
and I no longer see them walking like they used to. My own elderly parents live in the neighborhood and
they are vulnerable as well. All of this greatly affects safety, quality of life as well as the property values
very very negatively.
For these reasons, Whitefish says not in their neighborhood but proponents of the Warming Center push
Kalispell to sacrifice its quality of life and safety on the behalf of the homeless that they don't want to
deal with themselves. At that meeting on May 13th, I watched as we who are negatively affected were
repeatedly accused of lacking empathy. That's a bunch of bs.
The Warming Center has not met the standard even for a low barrier facility which should not be allowed
in Kalispell city limits.
Please rescind this conditional use permit. Thank you very much,
Rodneyj. Tinseth
