YADALA, CIVIL DEPUTY TERRY J. HANSON, DEPUTY February 17, 1976 COURTHOUSE WEST ANNEX RANDY K. SCHWICKERT, DEPUTY (406) 755-5300 - EXT. 241 Chairman Board of Adjustments City of Kalispell Kalispell, Montana 59901 Re: Variance Request, Old Hospital Dear Sir: As you will recall, in our original request for variance from the applicable sections of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, we pleaded that in the alternative to the granting of a variance, the subject tract be re -zoned to Class Five. Since filing that document, we have had a greater opportunity to research the possible uses and the general character of the area involved, and at this time do not feel that it would be in the best interests of the neighborhood to continue in the alternative request for re -zoning, which was ancillary and secondary at the time. Please, therefore, consider this letter to be a formal request to amend that original application for variance to read as an application for variance only, striking therefrom all reference to a re-classification from Class One to Class Five. The County Attorney is in the process of preparing a Deed of Dedication with covenants to run with the land from the Board of County Commissioners to the people of Flathead County, insuring that only the proposed uses by the County as seen in the attachments to our Application would qualify under the re- quested variance which, if granted, would be permitted. I understand that in some circles fear has been expressed that the Old Hospital might at some time be used commercially, and the County is emphatically against such a use; the proposed Deed with Covenants is intended to operate against just such a use, and shall run in perpetuity, thus securing the integrity of the neighborhood. Yours very truly.0 ftOCE . OF THE COUNTY A)TORNEY BY'�r^ .'----- Stewart A. Pearce, II-- SAP/ s Deputy County Attorney
