Tronstad Public Comment from MalingoKalispell City Council
Once again, we are facing a proposal for the development of Tronstad
Meadows/Whitetail Crossing. We are disappointed and discouraged to think
that just a few weeks ago we dealt with this issue and as a council you looked
at all the pros and cons and heard many reasons why the previous
development was not appropriate or conducive to the area. Many people,
residents in the area, did extensive research and presented a platform that
gave you good information on which to make a sound and reasonable
decision for not supporting such a development in the area.
As per your notice of your September 10, 2024 work session to present an
overview of the projects, we recognize that the request for annexation, zoning
of R-2 and preliminary plat approval for 355 lots on approximately 110.5 acres
is on your agenda. Right away we recognize this proposal represents 30 fewer
Lots than previously submitted. This is an insult to those of us surrounded by
this plat proposal. The issues for the previous proposal remain the same for
this proposal and will remain so until the infrastructure, traffic safety, water,
school population, and population in general are addressed.
As homeowners on Highland Dr. we remain concerned about the use of our
road to not only build and develop the property, but the use of the road for
emergency travel by authorized vehicles. This road is not up to standards to
handle this kind of traffic.
It is our hope that you will consider all of the research done regarding the
previous proposal, as nothing has changed other than 30 fewer lots and/or
houses and remember why you did not get past the zoning portion of the
proposal the first time. We are opposed to the new and revised proposal for
the same reasons we were opposed to the previous one.
Thank you for your time and service to this community. We need to continue
to protect and save this area from over -developing and preserve some of the
things that make this place desirable. We need reasonable proposals, and
this does not meet those criteria.
Respectfully,
Joe and Linda Malingo 230 Highland Drive, Kalispell Kalispell Mt
