Subject: Petition Against Annexation and Rezoning of Tronstad Meadows and Whitetail Crossing
Dear City Council Members,
We, the undersigned residents of Flathead County, vehemently oppose the proposed annexation and
rezoning of Tronstad Meadows and Whitetail Crossing. We urge the City Council to reject this proposal
and preserve the integrity of our community.
The historical farmland located at the proposed Tronstad Meadows and Whitetail Crossing developments
are part of the county's unique and rapidly disappearing farmland, a cherished part of our community.
The proposed annexation and rezoning to R3 not only threaten the existing landscape but also disregard
the concerns and interests of the residents surrounding the property and of the community as a whole.
We specifically object to the annexation and future use by the city of the well on the property. This vital
natural resource must be protected and utilized responsibly for the benefit of current and future
generations. Considering the City's past and ongoing failure to protect and maintain healthy water
sources for the community, as well as their Lack of research into the cause of city water contamination,
the undersigned have no reason to believe the contamination already present in city water sources will
not cross contaminate this well and the aquifer it springs from. Any attempt to exploit the well for
municipal purposes would have detrimental effects on the environment and the local ecosystem.
Furthermore, it is imperative to note that the application for annexation fails to address massive
infrastructure issues associated with the proposed development. The increased strain on roads, utilities,
and public services would exacerbate existing problems and diminish the quality of life for residents in
surrounding areas.
Finally, the proposed plat gives no evidence of the affordable housing the developer is claiming, and
there is no evidence that affordable housingwilt be created or enforced.
Therefore, we respectfully request the following actions betaken by the City Council:
1) Reject the annexation and rezoning proposal for Tronstad Meadows and Whitetail Crossing.
2) Protect the well on the property from annexation and any future municipal use.
3) Address the well known infrastructure deficiencies ignored in the application and ensure that
adequate measures are taken to mitigate their impact on the community.
4) Engage with the community to explore alternative solutions that prioritize the preservation of our
community and natural resources.
We believe that preserving Tronstad Meadows and Whitetail Crossing is essential for maintaining the
quality of life and sustainability of our county. The proposed annexation and rezoning, coupled with
unaddressed infrastructure issues, pose significant threats to our community's well-being and must be
opposed.
Thank you for considering our concerns. We urge the City Council to listen to the voice of the community
and act in the best interests of its residents.
Sincerely,
Danielle Tuhy

It appears that chaotic spfaA Is being approved all around Kalispell without the City honestly addressing
affordable housing or the health of the community. Lots of households unknowingly burying contaminated water
for awhile and the city does squat.
