Good Morning,
I read a letter to the editor in today's newspaper that was submitted by one of the council members.
It was about his idea to promote alternatives to housing opportunities in the valley. What he is
suggesting is nothing new and nothing that hasn't been going on for years.
There are and have been rooms for rent, house and apartment sharing available and regularly
advertised. The letter seems to state that he has just had this idea!
What we need to do as a city and county is to stop the building of these subdivisions until the
infrastructure has caught up. The developers need to be paying for additional law enforcement,
fire fighters, schools and other necessities that are stressed by their developments.
Does anyone know or keep track of the subdivisions/apartments that have been approved but not yet
built, the ones that have been built but not sold out, the number of houses/apartments that are
sitting
vacant? Before more are approved, I'd suggest those numbers be available.
Also, the apartments that were approved and now occupied off Meridian and have an entrance/exit
dumping
onto a small court of residential houses off Underhill Court is causing problems to those homeowners.
The racing and nightly walk abouts by some of the apartment dwellers who are yelling and otherwise
disturbing the peace of a once serene neighborhood is becoming dangerous. Didn't any of you go
to the site and observe that having that opening onto a small loop road is ridiculous and unneces
Property values due to that congestion and undesirable goings on are taking a toll. Not to mention
that
children in that loop are now put in jeopardy. There is no reason for that complex to empty onto
Underhill Court. They can easily use Meridian. Please shut that off.
Thank you,
Kalispell resident
