Tronstad Meadows Petition from Sandy Muller, Residents of Koenig SubdivisionKoenig Subdivision Homeowners Petition Against Tronstad Road Improvements and
Condition #19 in the Tronstad Meadows Whitetail Crossing Application
To: Kalispell City Council and Local Government Officials
We, the undersigned residents of the Koenig Subdivision, are united in expressing our strong
opposition to any proposed improvements to Tronstad Road in front of our subdivision, as well
as Condition #19 in the current application. While we support necessary infrastructure
enhancements for public safety and traffic management, we have serious concerns regarding
the long-term implications of these proposed changes.
Our primary concerns center around the potential for annexation into the City of Kalispell, which
would fundamentally alter the character of our neighborhood, as well as the inadequacies and
piecemeal nature of the proposed improvements. We oppose these developments for the
following reasons:
1. Condition #19 and Lack of Comprehensive Improvements: The current
application for Meadows Whitetail Crossing includes Condition #19, which mandates
improvements to Tronstad Road only in front of our subdivision. However, the developers have
not offered to improve any other sections of Tronstad Road. This means that the majority of
Tronstad Road will remain largely unimproved, leaving the road inadequate to handle the
increased traffic and development. Improving only one section of the road is not a sufficient
solution and creates safety concerns for the entire community.
2. Increased Property Taxes: Annexation into the City of Kalispell would result in
significantly higher property taxes for all residents, imposing a financial burden on many
households.
3. Traffic and Safety Concerns: Without improvements to the full length of
Tronstad Road, any partial upgrades —especially in front of our subdivision —would likely
increase traffic flow and safety hazards, including the danger posed by heavy construction
vehicles. These concerns are magnified by the fact that most of the road will remain in poor
condition, making it unable to accommodate the demands of increased traffic..
We respectfully request that Condition #19 be removed from the Tronstad Meadows Whitetail
Crossing application and that no improvements be made to Tronstad Road in front of the Koenig
Subdivision, other than bringing Tronstad Road up to current county road standards, unless
such improvements are part of a comprehensive plan addressing the full length of the road and
broader public safety and infrastructure issues. Furthermore, we strongly oppose any efforts
leading to annexation without full transparency and meaningful input from the residents most
affected by these proposed changes.
Sincerely,
The Residents of Koenig Subdivision
