Dear Mayor Boharski and City Council Members:
!48 Third Avenue East • Kalispell, MT 59901
(406) 752-7491 fax: (406) 755-8017
The Kalispell Development Corporation Executive Board Finance Committee met this
morning, March 24, 1998, to discuss the Downtown Redevelopment Site (KDC Site).
The discussion included the length of time for the offering, the minimum purchase price,
and the minimum parcel size. The following recommendations were made:
Board Members felt that anything less than a 60 day offering of the property would not
allow potential purchasers a reasonable period of time to research and prepare an offer
to purchase. A 30-45 day period was discussed but there was no consensus that the
shorter term would be in the best interest of the City.
After a lengthy discussion regarding purchase price, Board Members felt that a
minimum of $6.65 per square foot with no maximum price established would be
appropriate. No property in the CBD has been sold under that price in recent years and
a sale price at a lesser amount would have a severe impact on the tax base and
property values in the core area.
In an effort to promote redevelopment of the property, Board Members felt no minimum
parcel size should be included in the offering document and, therefore, firms or
individuals could submit proposals to purchase one or two lots and construct owner or
tenant occupied buildings similar to those already in existence throughout the CBD.
KDC members are available to discuss the KDC Site with you at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Lee Berger, President
