Box 1997 (406) 758-7739 (office fax) Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 (406) 758-7758 (City Hall fax) October 21, 1996 Mr. Leonard L. Kaufman Kaufman, Vidal & Hileman, P.C. P.O. Box 728 Kalispell, MT 59903-0728 RE: Hampton & Village Inn Restaurant Projects Dear Mr. Kaufrnan: Thank you for your letter of October 7, 1996, expressing Mr. Pack's desire to also resolve the issues identified in the Site Review Committee's letter to him dated October 4, 1996. While the request for the meeting had a short time frame, we were hoping to keep timely communication to resolve questions that have developed because of changes made from the approved site plan. The letter to Mr. Pack lists 17 items, with most of them relating to the proposed Village Inn Restaurant specifically or in relation to the Hampton Inn site plan. Mr. Stan Pine did meet with us on October 8, and many of the questions were answered, clarified or identified as needing further research. The meeting was productive and provided a working basis for continuing a cooperative relationship with Mr. Pine. The intent of this letter is to help identify the issues that need to be resolved prior to issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. I hope this will help you facilitate resolution of the issues for Mr. Pack also, and make the upcoming meeting productive and bring closure to the issues for all of us. The Site Review Committee welcomes the proposed development of the Village Inn and the investment made at the Hampton Inn. We are charged with the responsibility to assure that development occurs in substantial compliance with the codes and permitting processes adopted by the City. When construction occurs that deviates from the approved plans, then all parties need to communicate to find timely and reasonable solutions. The main items that need to be resolved prior to the issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy are: 1. A recorded cross easement agreement for parking and permanent access from Hampton Inn to a public way. 2. An approved, unobstructed fire apparatus access road to the Hampton Inn.

A revised site plan accurately depicting fire equipment access, public access, parking lot layout, building location in relation to revised property lines, property ownership, and easements. One of the main questions is whether the road to Appleway is to be constructed. If so, what is the road's purpose: fire equipment access, public access or both? 4. Acquisition of a flood plain development permit from the City. 5. Compliance with building code issues still unresolved. The two major items are submittal and approval of (1) new revised engineered sprinkler design and; (2) a new revised engineered roof trusses and connections in the pool area. While the above items are important, they are certainly solvable with cooperation and communication. I am sure your involvement in the process will help expedite those solutions. Your letter of October 7 stated you would contact me the week of October 14-18 to set up a meeting. That week has passed and we still need to arrange for a meeting as soon as possible, so please give me a call. Thank you. Sincerely, Ross Plambeck Site Review Committee Chairman c: Clarence Krepps, City Manager Glen Neier, City Attorney Larry Gallagher, Planning, Economic and Community Development Director
