10. Funding Request from City-County Planning Board to Update Master PlanKALISPELL CITY -COUNTY PLANNING BOARD M. Board of Commissioners, Flathead County Kalispell City Council Kalispell City -County Master Plan Update Process Starting in August, 1996, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board has undertaken the process of updating the 1986 Master Plan with the able assistance of the Flathead Regional Development Office staff. Research and mapping functions were conducted that Fall, community agencies and organizations were contacted for Plan input, and the Final Resource and Analysis section for the Plan was published in November, 1997, after earlier drafts had been sent out for review. A public Scoping meeting was held September 16, 1997. A Public Survey was conducted in September, 1997, with a 40% response, the results of which were published in November, 1997. At the direction of the Board, three drafting committees were formed to represent the most diverse population, to review the basic material and to draft the various sections of the Plan. This volunteer effort included the Business and Development Committee, the Neighborhoods and Environment Committee. and the Public Services and Infrastructure Committee. These committees have spent hundreds of individual volunteer hours in meeting monthly since January of this year and have now completed their separate drafts as of the first week of May. The next step of the program is into one consensus document to go ou prior to final drafting. It is anticipate combined drafting group in June, July produce this draft document. To obtai three meetings, this Board is requestin and the Kalispell City Council for fund to assist in preparing the document. T the official record of the meetings anc document negotiations.

Kindly reply at your earliest convenience so that adequate arrangements can be made for the start of the meetings in the first week of June.

On May 12"', the planning board voted to ask that the Kalispell City Council and Board of County Commissioners each appoint one of its members to serve over the summer on a committee that will be refining the draft update of the master plan. Could this request be placed on the meeting agendas of the City Council and Board of Commissioners at your earliest convenience? As background to this request, I would also like to inform you of the progress being made on the update of the master plan. The first milestone in the plan update process was the information -gathering stage completed last fall. This stage included development of a Resources and Analysis document (information on demographics, the economy, the environment, and public services), GIS mapping of the planning jurisdiction, and a public opinion survey of planning jurisdiction residents conducted last September. Draft copies of the Resources and Analysis document and mapping were sent to you last July. Copies of the results of the public opinion survey are attached. The survey addressed a variety of growth and land use issues, such as traffic, infrastructure, neighborhood compatibility, property rights, and annexation. Since most people do not attend or speak out at planning meetings, surveys are a valuable tool for reaching out to a broad cross-section of the community. The survey, mailed to a random sample of one -in -ten households, came back with an unusually high response rate of 42% (519 returned questionnaires). We are just completing the second milestone in the plan update process, the initial drafting of the plan. This was done over the last six months by three separate focus Providing Community Planning Assistance To: • Flathead County • City of Columbia Falls • City of Kalispell • City of Whitefish • Clarence Krepps Board of Commissions Re: Master Plan Update May 15, 1998 Page 2 of 2 committees, representing 23 local organizations or groups (membership lists are attached). The three committees —the business and development committee, neighborhoods and environment committee, and public services and infrastructure committee —each developed their own draft of the plan. Acknowledging the strong divergent interests in the community, the intention here was to start with a diversity of opinions and then work toward consensus. The next stage of the plan update will be to combine the three draft plans into one cohesive document. A consensus committee consisting of the planning board and two to three volunteers from each of the three existing committees will work on this process. As noted above, the planning board would also like to ask that a city council member and county commissioner sit on this consensus committee. We are optimistically expecting that the consensus committee will be able to complete its task in three monthly meetings this summer. Most of the text of the three draft plans is the same, and many of the differences are not necessarily conflicts, but new ideas, that came out of one of the three committees and will probably be generally accepted. The completed draft at the end of the summer would then be circulated for a public -review period in the fall. If you have any questions about the plan update, please feel free to call me.

The purpose of the survey was to assist with the update underway of the Kalispell City County Master Plan. The survey was delivered by mail to a random sample of 1,234 households. A total of 519 questionnaires were returned, for a response rate of 42%. The rate of sampling error varied by question between 3% and 5%. The following is a summary of some of the more important findings of the survey. • The worst traffic congestion spot in the Kalispell area, according to 75% of respondents, is the intersection of Main and Idaho (U.S. Highways 93 and 2). In a related question, 80% of respondents favored construction of a truck by-pass around Kalispell, which would alleviate congestion at that intersection. Most respondents expressed moderate viewpoints on private property rights, even respondents in rural areas. Forty-eight percent of those responding characterized themselves as "supporters of regulations that balance private and public interests," compared to 26% who see themselves as "supporters of landowners' rights to do what they want with their land" and 17% as "supporters of strong regulations to protect the public from negative impacts associated with development." In rural areas, the proportions were 42%, 32%, and 12%, respectively. The survey indicated clear popular support for requiring new subdivisions near Kalispell to provide conventional urban infrastructure, including paved streets (favored by 83% of respondents), fire hydrants (74%), gutters and storm sewer (66%), public sewer and water (65%), street lights (62%), and sidewalks (57%). Even the majority of respondents who characterized themselves as supporters of landowners' rights to do what they want with their land" agreed that all of these urban infrastructure improvements should be provided in new subdivisions near Kalispell. • Although mixed -use neighborhoods are commonly perceived as unpopular, most respondents indicated otherwise, in that they would not object to having nearby areas of neighborhood -serving businesses and multi -family housing in their neighborhoods. • Asked where new commercial development should be located in the Kalispell area, 68% said existing business districts and their gradual expansion. Only 20% favored new commercial development at the edge of town, and 8% on rural highways. While single -wide mobile homes are a common form of affordable housing in the area, 73% of respondents said they would object to having them in their neighborhoods. Even in rural areas, the proportion was 70%; and in Evergreen and other suburbs, 65%. In contrast, only 40% of respondents in Kalispell and 41% in surrounding suburbs said they would object to nearby areas of small lots, apartments, and townhouses—altemative forms of affordable housing. The survey listed four typical reasons why cities annex surrounding properties, and the majority of respondents did not view any of those as "valid reasons." The most favored reason to annex among Kalispell respondents (favored by 56% of respondents) was to "provide city utilities/services only to households and businesses paying city taxes." In Evergreen and other suburban areas, the most favored reason (48%) was "annex only where requested by the property owner." • Asked which of 14 options should be considered "priorities" for managing rural growth, the top three responses were as follows: "protect water quality of lakes, rivers, and streams," considered a priority by 65% of respondents; "require paving in new subdivisions to protect air quality," 54%; and "protect rural neighborhoods from incompatible growth," 49%. • The majority of respondents favored the following measures to protect rivers, streams, and lakes: "minimize new development in the floodplain," favored by 60% of respondents; and "avoid channelization, off -channel excavation, and diversion of rivers and streams," 52%. METHODOLOGY Questionnaires were mailed to a random sample of households in the Kalispell Planning Jurisdiction. The sample was drawn from the residential customer lists of Pacific Power and Flathead Electric Cooperative, the two electric companies operating in the area, whom we would like to thank. The lists were generated in mid -August 1997. Flathead Electric Cooperative was able to identify customers specifically within planning jurisdiction boundaries, since the company computerizes service locations by section, township, and range. The Pacific Power customers were concentrated in the urban areas, but the list extended beyond planning jurisdiction boundaries to include all of the Kalispell 59901 zip code. This list was sorted by street, and FRDO excluded addresses outside the planning jurisdiction. All of the electric customers were numbered, adding to a total of 12,352. A sample was taken from a computer -generated list (using Microsoft Excel software) of 1,250 random numbers. Of the 1,250 questionnaires mailed, 16 were returned as 2 undeliverable (persons who apparently moved and left no forwarding address). Thus the sample size was 1,234. A total of 519 questionnaires were returned, for a response rate of 4201'0. The rate of sampling error varied by question between 3% and 5%, assuming a 95% confidence level. In other words, if the survey was repeated 100 times, the distribution of answers to each question would vary by no more than 3% to 5% on 95 out of 100 surveys. The survey was conducted in three separate mailings, spaced approximately one week apart. The first mailing explained that the survey questionnaire would be mailed in about a week and information was attached about the existing master plan and the update process. This mailing was intended to inform people about the plan, so that they could understand how the survey results would be used. The second mailing included the questionnaire and a cover letter. The third mailing was a post card reminding people to send in the questionnaire or call FRDO if they did not receive one. SURVEY RESPONSES 1.

ALL PROTECTIVE MEASURES BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT AS CURRENT GROWTH IS DEGRADING EXISTING QUALITY. AS WITH ANSWER B HAVE BUFFER AREA ALONG RIVERS & STREAMS FOR BUILDING ETC, BUT ALLOW PUBLIC ACCESS ON THAT BUFFER FOR FISHERMEN, ETC. 16 CAUTION NEEDED BY PUBLIC AGENCIES.

Names, addresses, and phone numbers that were voluntarily added in this section have been excluded from this document, to maintain anonymity of responses. TRANSPORTATION CONCERN ABOUT SPEED ON STREETS OTHER THAN ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS. TO THE FRUSTRATION OF MANY OHER DRIVERS, I DRIVE BELOW SPEED LIMIT ON SUCH RESIDENTIAL STREETS, TO AVOID POSSIBILITY OF HITTING A CHILD SUDDENLY DARTING OUT IN FRONT OF A PARKED CAR INTO THE STREET. I DRIVE SLOW TO AVOID IINJURY. SIGNS WOULD BE HELPFUL. 1 - JAKE BRAKES (24 HRS PER DAY) SHOULD BE DISALLOWED WITHIN ENTIRE CITY/COUNTY ENVIRONMENT 2-1 FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN TO GET TO THE SCHOOL BUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO CROSS RESERVE DR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH NO PROTECTION ON ICY WINTER ROADS IN THE DARK. 3-IT IS VERY HARD TO GET ONTO RESERVE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT TRAFFIC VOLUME & THEIR HIGH SPEEDS!! 4 - THE BIGFORK/ SOMERS CUTOFF AND 93 INTERSECTION NEEDS A RIGHT HAND MERGING LANE SO THE TRAFFIC COMING INTO KALISPELL CAN GAIN SPEED BEFORE ENTERING 93'S TRAFFIC FLOW. NEED GREEN BELTS, WALKWAYS, PATHWAYS IMPROVED, LIKE THE RIVER PARKS IN MISSOULA. - NEED BY PASS TO REDUCE TOWN TRAFFIC. HAVE A TRUCK BY PASS, GET THE LOGGING TRUCKS AND LARGE SEMI'S OUT OF THE BUSINESS DISTRICT. WE NEED A TRAFFIC LIGHT NEAR ROSAUERS AND SAWBUCK SALOON. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL FATALITIES AT THIS AREA - HOW MANY MORE? WE NEED ENFORCEMENT OF CARS BURIED IN SNOW BERMS TO BE REMOVED AND FINED. PUT SOME TEETH INTO THE SNOW REMOVAL ORDINANCE. CARS LEFT COVERED WITH SNOW IS A HAZARD TO ALL RESIDENTS WHEN THEY LEAVE THE BERM. IT'S STILL A HAZARD TO THE RESIDENTS - FIND THEM MONEY TALKS AND THEY WILL LEARN A LESSON. FIX THE HUMPTY HUMPS YOU RUN OVER WHEN YOU CROSS IDAHO FROM A SIDE STREET THE TRAFFIC IS BECOMING A SEVERE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CITY IS DIVIDED IN HALF BY A RIVER THAT HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF BRIDGES. A LOT 22 OF THE TRAFFIC IS SEASONAL. IF THERE WAS A BY-PASS FOR TRUCKS IT COULD BE USED BY THOSE THAT WISH TO PASS UP OUR LITTLE TOWN INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS GOING THROUGH THE BUSINESS DISTRICTS. I REALLY THINK ONE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THAT THE POLICE NEED TO ENFORCE THE SPEED LIMIT IN SCHOOL AREAS. 1 SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE GOING 45-50 MPH. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME TO BE A PART OF YOUR SURVEY! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE RESULTS. TRAFFIC LIGHT ON CENTER ST & 5TH AVE WEST. ALSO CROSSWALKS TO CENTER MALL THERE IS NO ORDERLY FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN KALISPELL. WHY IS TRAFFIC STOP AND GO? THIS ONLY CAUSES LONG LINES AND AIR POLLUTION. NEED MORE PUBLIC PARKING IN DOWNTOWN AREA. MORE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES IN HAZARDOUS AREAS AND AREAS OF PERIODIC, HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS. II.E. COLLEGE AREA & HIGHWAY 93 NORTH TO RESERVE. DUE TO MY LOVE OF WALKING FOR MY EXERCISE AND ENJOYMENT, WALKING PATHS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. AT THIS TIME THERE IS SO MUCH AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE IT IS HARD TO ENJOY WALKING AND IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. NO SIDEWALKS ALSO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR RESIDENTS TO WALK IN CITY AREAS. WORKING PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE IF NIGHT TIME WALKING IS THE ONLY TIME AVAILABLE FOR EXERCISING OUTSIDE - WHETHER IT IS FALL OR WINTER. THERE IS SO MUCH TRAFFIC IN THE KALISPELL AREA A SEPARATE TRUCK ROUTE WOULD HELP. ITS DIFFICULT IN THIS CULTURE, BUT WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE LESS USE OF THE AUTO FOR MANY DAILY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WORK, SCHOOL, SHOPPING, ETC. I WALK TO WORK 3/4 OF A MILE, WIFE DRIVES 2 MILES, USE THE CAR MORE FOR ENJOYMENT. TOP PRIORITY IS THE TRUCK ROUTE OR BYPASS AROUND THE CITY - THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH STUDIES. WE'VE NEEDED ONE EVER SINCE i CAME HERE IN 1945(I'M 74 NOW). YOU THINK WE'LL EVERY SEE ONE? THE STATE OR COUNTY HWY DEPT APPROVING 2 MAJOR LIGHTS INTO CAR DEALERSHIPS ON HWY 2 E. NO CONSIDERATION FOR CARS & TRUCKS ENTERING FROM MONTCLAIR DRIVE (TEEPEE & PACIFIC HIDE) THEN FURTHER EAST. NO CONSIDERATION AT THE K-MART AREA. NEED FRONTAGE OR ALTERNATE ENTRY AREA. 23 INTERESTED IN BYPASS WE NEED A SPEED LIMIT BY EVERGREEN SCHOOL ENFORCED - IN FACT THROUGH THE WHOLE STATE. WE NEED A FOUR LANE HWY FROM KALISPELL TO MISSOULA. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS A TRUCK BY-PASS. IF A TRUCK AND CAR COUNT WAS TAKEN FROM 4 CORNERS TO WOODLAND DRIVE IT MAY OPEN A FEW EYES. I LIVE BY WOODLAND PARK AND SEE LITTLE SENSE IN GOING ON THE WESTSIDE, HOWEVER, GET IT BUILT. BOTH TRAFFIC LIGHTS NORTH OF FRED MEYER ON EAST & WEST IDAHO ARE IN DIRE NEED OF TURN LIGHTS - HEADING SOUTH - AS IS THE LIGHT ACROSS FR. PAYLESS SHOES ON W. IDAHO. BADLY IN NEED OF A TURN LIGHT HEADING SOUTH. TRAFFIC ALWAYS BOTTLED UP THESE 3 AREAS DUE TO LACK OF TURN SIGNALS ON THE LIGHTS. ALLEYS IN TOWN JUST SOUTH & WEST OF H.S. NEED PAVED. OUR ALLEY IS BETWEEN 6TH & 7TH AVE THE 1000 BLOCK -THERE IS HIGH TRAFFIC AND EXTREMEMLY DUSTY & AIR POLLUTED. 6TH AVE BETWEEN 10 & 11 TH STREET NEEDS CURBS AS WELL. WE ARE IN CITY LIMITS, PAY CITY TAXES - HAVE NO BENEFITS ON OUR STREET!! SHOULD BE A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT 7TH AVE E & OREGON. FINISH HWY 93 PROJECT ASAP. BUILD BYPASS AROUND WEST SIDE OF KALISPELL FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC. LIMIT SIZE OF TRUCKS TO 40 FOOT BOX PLUS TRACTOR WITHIN CITY LIMITS. IF YOU CANNOT LIMIT SIZE OF TRUCKS OR AGREE ON A BYPASS, WIDEN INTERSECTIONS SUCH AS MAIN & IDAHO AND GET RID OF CONCRET OBSTICLES. THE BEST THING THAT COULD BE DONE TO RELIEVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN KALISPELL IS TO CONSTRUCT THE WILLOW GLEN BYPASS. IT SHOULD BE A 4 LANE ROAD CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO US2 AT SNAPPY'S. TRUCKS ALREADY USE WILLOW GLEN & SHADY LANE AS A BYPASS. GENERALLY PROPERTY VALUES ALONG THE ROUTE ARE NOT HIGH. SURE THE PEOPLE WILL PROTEST, BUT IT WILL NEVER GET ANY EASIER OR CHEAPER TO BUILD. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DECISION WASN'T MADE YEARS AGO TO DO THE BYPASS. THE WESTERN BYPASS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN MOST OF THE TRUCKS ARE HEADED TO AND FROM THE INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS AREAS IN EVERGREEN. WHY WOULD A LOAD OF PLYWOOD OR CHIPS FROM THE EVERGREEN MILL DRIVE MILES TO RESERVE AND AROUND THE SINUOUS WESTERN BYPASS TO GO TO MISSOULA? A WILLOW GLEN ROUTE WOULD GET THE TRUCKS OUT OF TOWN FOR SURE. THE REPAVING OF W EVERGREEN DRIVE IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT. HOWEVER, THE FINSIH WORK FOR ADJOINING LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED. 24 AND MOST IMPORTANTLY • WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LITTLE BIT OF WALKWAY THERE WAS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRIVE IT SOME DAY AND WATCH THE SMALL KIDS TRYING TO RIDE THEIR BIKES TO/FROM SCHOOL IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE IS HIT BY A CAR. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD USE AN AFFORDABLE BUS SYSTEM IN THE CITY WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DECLINE IN THE TRAFFIC IN THE CITY LIMITS ESPECIALLY. THERE WOULD BE LESS USE OF THE ROADS BY SO MANY SINGLE PASSENGERS IN ONE VEHICLE, THUS LESS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROADS, REDUCING THAT EXPENSE. THERE WOULD ALSO BE LESS PEOPLE DRIVING VEHICLES DURING POOR WEATHER CAUSING LESS ACCIDENTS. ALSO LESS POLLUTION TO OUR VALLEY AS THERE WOULD BE LESS TRAFFIC. I THINK STRIPING SHOULD BE DONE MORE OFTEN TO DELINEATE LANES. WHY DO YOU HAVE A 25 MPH ZONE ON 3 AVE 1l4 MILE AWAY FROM THE JUNION HIGH SCHOOL YET ONLY HAVE IT A BLOCK FROM THE GRADE SCHOOLS? WE LIVE ON NORTHERN LIGHTS BLVD A RATHER MINOR STREET AND AFTER A SNOW STORM ITS USUALLY TWO DAYS OR MORE BEFORE WE'RE PLOWED. THATS OK, BUT I THINK IT DOESN'T NEED PLOWING THERE AS IT'S PACKED DOWN AND WHEN IT IS PLOWED ITS PLOWED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH NECESSITATES MORE SHOVELING. DON'T BOTHER PLOWING AFTER ITS PACKED DOWN! I FEEL THE POLICE SHOULD WATCH FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS IN KALISPELL. IT IS HARD TO BE A PEDESTRIAN IN THIS TOWN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 4 WAY STOP SIGN PUT AT LIBERTY ST AND MERIDIAN INTERSECTION TO SHOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN THERE TO SHOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THIS AREA. GIVE US EASIER ACCESS TO GET ONTO MERIDIAN. ALSO SAVE LIVES AT NO MAJOR COST TO CITY. THE CONSOLIDATED FREIGHTWAYS AT 96 6TH AVE WN, KALISPELL CREATE AIR POLLUTION WITH THEIR UNPAVED PARKING LOT. THE DUST BOILS UP AROUND THE TRUCKS EVERY TIME THEY MOVE. THEY ALSO BRING MUD OUT OF THEIR LOT TO THE PAVED STREETS. I THINK ALL GRAVEL ROADS SHOULD BE PAVED. OILING OF ROADS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. WOULD SUPPORT A TAX INCREASE TO BUILD A BY-PASS AROUND KALISPELL. GOOD LUCK! DO NOT DENY A REPAIR IF FOUND NECESSARY OF THE STEEL BRIDGE CONSTRUCTING A TRUCK BYPASS AROUND KALISPELL SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY 25 WE WERE WONDERING WHY A TURNING LIGHT WAS NOT PUT IN AT KMART, SUPER ONE. SINCERE THERE ARE 3 LIGHTS AT WALMART ONE COULD BE FIXED LIKE ON IDAHO AND 93. IT WOULD HELP A GREAT DEAL AS FAR AS TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. #7CONTINUED-CONGESTION. YOU REALLY SHOULD FIX THE TIMING ON MAIN & IDAHO LIGHTS, IT IS FRUSTRATING TO KEEP STOPPING & GOING. BETTER TIMING WILL LESSEN CONJESTION & FRUSTRATION. THE SNOW REMOVAL ROUTES ARE IN GREAT NEED OF ADDITIONAL ROUTES. SOME NEW SUBDIVISIONS AND EVEN OLDER ONES ARE NOT BEING PLOWED. WHY? PLEASE ANSWER BACK. THANK YOU #10 - 1 LIVE AT THE SOUTH END OF 9TH AVE W. THE HOUSE ACROSS THE "GRAVEL TRAIL" IS IN THE COUNTY. I'M SURE I'VE BEEN DUBBED A COMPLAINT BY THE POWERS THAT BE, BUT I FEEL JUSTIFIED WHEN PAVING STOPS AT 8TH ST, AND LAST WINTER I HAD MY SONS SHOVEL A PATH TO THE GARBAGE CAN & MY MAILBOX & THE SNOW JUST KEPT PILING UP. THE FAMILY ACROSS THE STREET HIRED SOMEONE TO CLEAR THE "GRAVEL TRAIL" TO THE CORNER. THE ONLY GOOD THING WAS THAT TRAFFIC WAS CUT BACK CONSIDERABLY. IN THE SUMMER, WHEN ITS DRY & DUSTY, WE HAVE LOTS OF TRAFFIC - OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO EAST DUST & SPIN OUT AT THE CORNER. #7-QUIT PUTTING IN SO MANY STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS. MAKE ADJACENT STREETS FLOW BY MAKING ONE WAYS IN OPPOSIT DIRECTIONS & LIMIT STOPS & SYNCHRONIZE LIGHTS. YOU'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT TRAFFIC DOWNTOWN. IT'S A NIGHTMARE WITH A LIGHT EVERY BLOCK THAT'S NOT SYNCHRONIZED. IT CAN BE DONE. THERE'S NOT ONE STREET A PERSON CAN TRAVEL THROUGH ON WITHOUT CONSTANT STOP & GO. EAGLE DRIVE SOUTH OFF KELLY NEEDS REPLACED NOW I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN A BIG RIG STUCK AT OUR MAIN INTERSECTIONS IN RIGHT HAND AND LEFT HAND TURNS. WE DO NEED TO CREATE THESE TRUCK DRIVERS A SAFER ROUTE AROUND TOWN. MULTIPLE TOPICS QUES. #1 - I ALREADY LIVE IN AN AREA (A) DESCRIBES. QUEST. #2 - I'D LIIKE TO SEE RE -VITALIZATION OF OLDER BUILDINGS - ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN W/ INIATIVE TO BUSINESS REVITALIZING THE OLDER AREAS. QUEST #4 - (N) SUMS IT UP. PLANNING COMMUNITIES TO PROTECT THE BEAUTY & NATURE OF THIS AREA. 26 #6 - PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY OR TO MUCH IN A RUSH OR JUST PLAIN RUDE. #7 - NEED TURNING LIGHTS ON MAJOR STREETS(MORE) THAT LET TRAFFIC TURNING GO FIRST SUCH AS ON 93 & HWY 2. #8 - I THINK LANDOWNERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT IF ITS NOT ILLEGAL BUT WHERE IT IS NOT OBSTRUCTED OF A FEW EYES. I ALSO THINK THAT SOME COULD GIVE UP A LITTLE OF THERE LAND IF NEED BE TO WIDEN ROADS OR HIGHWAYS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL ON. THEY SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR IT SOMEHOW SINCE THEY WOULD LOSE WHAT THEY PAID FOR, BUT THEY WOULD SAVE SOME LIVES IF THEY DID. DEFINITION OF ILLEGAL: DRUGS, MILITARY STYLEF GUNS & EXPLOSIVES. OBSTRUCTED: A JUNK YARD. #9 - STREET LIGHTS ON CORNERS & MAYBE 1 OR 2 LIGHTS ALONG THE STREET. A THOUGHT - MAYBE ON MAJOR HWYS IT COULD BE TALKED ABOUT TO HAVE THE BIG CEMENT BLOCKS TO BE PUT IN THE CENTER OF THE LANES TO PREVENT HEAD ON COLLISIONS OF OTHER TRAFFIC GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. ALSO NEED POSTED SPEED LIMITS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE KNOW WHAT 'PRUDENT` MEANS. #7 CONTINUED - NORTH AND SOUTH STREETS AS YOU DID WITH KALISPELL CENTER MALL AND TIDYMANS. HAVE THE CITY GET OUT OF THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS. ANNEX EVERGREEN AND ALL OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE PROPERTY TAX DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY HOMES IS UNFAIR. THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RETAINED IS WATER QUALITY OF OUR RIVERS & FLATHEAD LAKE. ALSO RURAL VALUES THAT PROVIDE WILDLIFE & HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES. THE CITY & COUNTY NEED TO PURSUE MORE EASEMENTS TO PROTECT THESE AREAS. THE CORNER OF HWY 93 & RESERVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RE -ZONED. A DEVELOPED, LANDSCAPED COMMERCIAL AREA WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE APPEALING TO LOOK AT THAN THE EXISTING GRAVEL PIT. THE DEVELOPMENT COULD HAVE MEANT MORE JOB OPPORTUNTIES FOR FLATHEAD VALLEY RESIDENTS AND MORE MONEY FOR THE COMMUNITY. YOU CAN'T STOP PROGRESS!! 1. TARGET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. 2. IMPROVE THE TOWN FOR BETTER COMMERCE. 3. IMPROVE KALISPELL TO HELP TOURISTS - MT IS RECREATION - WE NEED TO ADVERTISE AND CREATE HIKING, BIKING TRAILS AND WALKING PATHS. A GOOD EXAMPLE ARE RATTLE SNAKE, MISSOULA REC AREA. PARKS -ALSO PORTLAND 4. GET A TRUCK ROUTE ESTABLISHED. DO IT BEFORE A LITTLE CHILD GETS RUN OVER BY ONE ON MAIN STREET. #4 - TRANSPORTATIONlUTILITY CORRIDOR PLANNING (TOP PRIORITY). #7 CONTINUED - KALISPELL. PLAN FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS. PUT IN LIGHTS (STOP LIGHTS) AT ROSE CROSSING AND NO. 2 HWY. SLOW THE SPEED ON HWY. 2 NORTH FROM KMART. QUIT BEGGING PEOPLE TO 27 COME TO THE VALLEY - GIVE THE GOVERNOR THIS MESSAGE. ITS A SHAME TO USE ALL THE LOVELY FARM LAND TO BUILD ON. I THINK KALISPELL HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN IMPROVING STREETS AND STREET CORNERS, LIGHTS WHERE NEEDED, PAVING (WHICH HELPS KEEP DUST (MUD) DOWN -- ROADS THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY ARE KEPT UP VERY WELL - WATER AND AIR QUALITY IS IMPORTANT AND YOU SEEM TO HAVE THAT PRETTY WELL IN HAND. THIS SURVEY MADE ME AWARE OF SOME PROBLEMS I DID NOT REALIZE EXISTED. 1. ONE STOP SHOPPING IS A MESS! TAKE A 2ND LOOK AT THE AREAS OF B&B, TIDYMANS & 3 BANKS. TIGHT PARKING AND AN UGLY MESS... CONJESTED. 2. THE CITY SHOULD STAY OUT OF RURAL AFFAIRS AND PROVIDE NO SERVICES. IF RURAL HAS SERVICES OF ANY KIND THEY SHOULD BE IN THE CITY OR ELSE SERVICES SHOULD BE CUT OFF. THEY NEED TO BE TAXED OR CUTT OFF. 3.1 DO NOT BELIEVE THE CITY SHOULD EXPAND TO THE COLLEGE. THAT SHOULD BE A QUIET AREA. THERE IS A HOSPITAL UP THERE. 4. THE SPORTS COMPLEX IDEA (BASEBALL FIELDS, ETC) SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE. CAN'T YOU SEE A PEEWEE LEAGER RIDING UP THAT BUSY HIGHWAY ON HIS BIKE TO PRACTICE. BALONEY ON THIS MESS AND EXPANSE. 5. THE EXPENSES OF THIS CITY ARE TERRIBLE(I'VE BEEN TO A FEW MEETINGS SUCH AS OPENING A SEWER. ALSO THE FAIRGROUNDS - WHY CAN'T THE CITY AND COUNTY WORK TOGETHER & IMPROVE THE PLACE IN STEAD OF TEAR IT DOWN. A NEW SPORTS ARENA SHOULD BE A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE - TAKE A LOOK AT HELENA & BOZEMAN'S HOCKEY FACILITY. 6. ALLOWING BUSINESS TO BUILD ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER HAS CAUSED SOME OF YOUR TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. THEY CAN BE SOLVED WITH SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. ALSO BUSINESS SHOULD BE CONTROLLED AS TO HOW MANY PARKING SPACES THEY MAY HAVE IN A PARKING LOT. THIS WILL HELP CONGESTION. THEY ALSO NEED TO SWEEP & CLEAN PARKING LOTS & ALSO NEED TO REMOVE SNOW AND ICE IN THEIR PARKING LOTS. 7. THE CITY SHOULD NOT SUBSIDIZED BUSINESS AS THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST - SUCH AS THE CENTER MALL! WHAT IS THE REASON SHOPPING MALLS CAN'T BE MORE THAN 1 STORY HIGH? STACK UP PARKING LOTS ALSO. WHY CAN'T THE PATROL & POLICE GUIDE OR STOP TRAFFIC DURING FUNERAL TRAVEL ETC. ITS THE SAME TIME & MONEY. THE PERSON BEING BURIED HAS SPENT MANY DOLLARS IN THE VALLEY. TEACH BICYCLE RIDERS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO DOWN THE ROAD ALSO SADDLE HORSES, BUGGIES, DRIVER. PLUS WALKERS TO WALK ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE MAINTENANCE OF ROADS IN THE KALISPELL AREA IS BAD. PLOWS SHOULD START EARLY IN A STORM NOT AT 8:00 AM WHEN EVERYONE IS ALREADY OUT AND STUCK. FAIR PROPERTY TAX AND ASSESSMENTS. WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS IN THIS AREA. TAXES ARE 28 DRIVING UP MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS MAKING HOME OWNERSHIP MORE OUT OF REACH. THE KALISPELL AREA BADLY NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS IN: A. TRAFFIC MOVEMENT B. ZONING AND PROTECTION OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS C. CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGEMENT WHICH IS LESS AUTOCRATIC. WE DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE ZONING REGULATIONS TO PREVENT DEGRADATION OF HOUSING AREAS. HOMEOWNERS NEED TO HAVE PROTECTION OF PROPERTY VALUES. EXAMPLES WOULD BE NOT TO HAVE TRAILERS ALLOWED IN HOUSING SUBDIVISIONS OR JUNK YARDS ALLOWED TO START-UP IN HOUSING AREAS. THIS IS OCCURRING 1N EVERGREEN. NEW SUBDIVISIONS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE ON COMMUNITY SEWER AND WATER TO PROTECT THE WATER QUALITY. I DONT FEEL THAT THE TRUCK BYPASS ISSUE HAS BEEN VERY THOROUGHLY CHECKED OUT. WHY RUN THE BYPASS ON THE WESTSIDE OF KALISPELL WHEN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT USING THE TRUCK SERVICES ARE DEVELOPING ON THE EASTSIDE OF KALISPELL? COMMERCIAL GROWTH NEEDS TO BE RESTRICTED OR CONFINED AND NOT ALLOWED TO INFRINGE ON RESIDENTIAL AREAS. MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS ALSO NEED TO BE MONITORED. MULTIPLE FAMILY BUILDING ARE BEING BUILT IN AREAS WHERE ROADS, SCHOOLS AND OTHER SERVICES CAN'T HANDLE THE INCREASE IN LOAD. FARMERS AND -3ANCHERS SHOULD HAVE PROTECTION OF LAND RIGHTS WHEN BUILDING DEVELOPMENT IMPINGES ON THEIR LAND. MORE SCHOOL BUSSES WOULD HELP MORNING AND AFTERNOON CONGESTION. THE SCHOOL BUS SYSTEM IS VERY INADEQUATE. SUPPORT LIMITS ON MOBILE HOME PARKS. IN GENERAL, WE BELIEVE LANDOWNERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR LAND. WE DO NOT AGREE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS. KALISPELL NEEDS A BYPASS. A TRUCK ROUTE AROUND KALISPELL WOULD HELP DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC A GREAT DEAL. ALSO I AGREE TAXING PEOPLE FOR CITY SERVICES (IE, SEWER, WATER) BUT I THINK AN EXISTING HOUSEHOLD PROPERTY TAX SHOULD NOT RISE DUE TO THIS. #3 - CITY RESIDENTS ARE PAYING FOR THE IMPACT ON THE CITY THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTS CREATE IE ROADS. #4 - AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN RURAL AREAS TO FAR FROM SERVICES. KALISPELL IS A LOVELY TOWN. IT HAS GROWN TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. REGULATION OF RURAL SUBDIVISIONS, TRAILER PARKS AND MALLS IS A MUST. THE TRAFFIC SITUATIONS ARE ATROCIOUS WITH A TOTAL REIVEW OF ALL MAJOR ARTERIALS & INTERSECTIONS IS A MUST. THE �RAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM HAS TO BY SYNCHRONIZED AND A TRUCK ROUTE IS 29 MANDATORY. BOTH THROUGH TOWN AND IN TOWN I.E. LOGGING TRUCKS, GRAVEL TRUCKS, ETC. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT. KALISPELL IS GOING TO GROW, SO YOU'RE TAKING GOOD MEASURES TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO MANAGE ITS GROWTH. IT'S TOUGH TO REVIVE AN OLD "DOWNTOWN' BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. MAYBE A PEDESTRIAN MALL OR SOMETHING - SIMILAR TO HELENA. NEED TO CONTROL ZONING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HOUSES TO BUY AND THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN FINDING A NICE HOUSE AND THEN DISCOVERING ITS NEXT TO A JUNKY HOUSE OR TRAILER. THE OTHER FOCUS SHOULD BE ON ATTRACTING BUSINESSES THAT WILL PROVIDE GOOD JOBS TO THE AREA. TIMBER WON'T LAST FOREVER AND THE SERVICE JOBS THAT TOURISM BRINGS AREN'T ENOUGH. 1. GET OUT OF REAL ESTATE BUSINESS. 2. SEND OUT MORE SURVEYS ON ALL BIG IMPORTANT ISSUES. 'SOUTH BOUND BYPASS - 2 LANES BEGINNING TOP OF HILL ON MERIDIAN AND 93 - PAST BUTTREYS SOUTH OVER RR TRACK TO 93 AND 4 CORNERS, VIA VALLEY VIEW. ' NORTH BOUND BYPASS - 2 LANES BEGINNING AT WILLOW GLEN DR - CONCRETE NO ON RAMPS, BUT SEVERAL OFF RAMPS TO TIE INTO #2 NORTH AT OR ABOUT EVERGREEN DR. BOTH BYPASSES WOULD BE SOLID CONCRETE, 2 LANES APPRO 30 FT IN THE AIR - OFF RAMPS AT KEY STREETS. NO ON RAMPS. MODERATION IN ALL THINGS PLEASE. IT DOES NO GOOD TO PUBLIC -SIZE EVERYTHING AND THEN CLOSE IT OFF TO THE PUBLIC THAT USES IT; I.E. FOREST SERVICE LANDS, CONRAD COMPLEX, PARTS OF FAIRGROUNDS. ON THE OTHER HAND, ALLOWING EVERYTHING TO BE BOUGHT AND SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER CAUSES FURTHER AREAS TO BE OFF LIMITS TO THE COMMON PERSON (TAXPAYER). PLEASE DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER SELLING TO THE FAIRGROUNDS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THIS BUFFER BETWEEN THE MALLS & BRIGHT LIGHTS IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF. ANY CHANCE OF THE PLANNING BOARD EVER COMING OUT AGAINST THE COMMUNITY DESTROYER OF GAMBLING. 1- LIMIT DEVELOPMENT OF GAS MINI MARKETS ON EVERY CORNER. 2- CLEAN UP SOUTH OF TOWN "93" - 1ST EXPOSURE MANY PEOPLE HAVE OF OUR TOWN. 3- CONTROL GROWTH, BALANCE ENVIRONMENTALJTOURISM CONCERNS TO HELP OUR VALLEY GROW BUT KEEP THE BEAUTIFUL LOOK. MANY ANNEXED AREAS BY THE CITY STILL DO NOT HAVE STREET LIGHTS, CURB, GUTTER, PAVED STREET AFTER 5 YEARS, BUT CITY TAXES ARE BEING COLLECTED. WHY DO YOU THINK THE PUBLIC WILL THINK VERY HIGHLY OF FUTURE ANNEXATION IF THIS IS THE RESULTS OF ANNEXATION FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN THOSE ANNEXED AREAS. I DON'T WANT EVERGREEN ANNEXED NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. KALISPELLS SEWER HAS RAISED MY TAXES MORE THAN MY WAGES AND I WORK FOR ONE OF THE BETTER EMPLOYERS IN THE VALLEY (PLUM CREEK). WE NEED TO GET MORE CREATIVE WITH PUBLIC FUNDS. YOU NEED TO BE MORE AGRESSIVE WITH INDUSTRIES SUCH AS SEMITOOL WHO MAKE GOOD PROFIT FOR MINIMAL WAGES. ALSO I'M NOT AGAINST TRAILER COURTS OR SUBDIVISIONS, BUT WHEN A COURT DOUBLES ITS SIZE, I FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING CONRAD DR & SHADY LANE. 1 ALSO FEEL WITH THAT MANY CHILDREN INVOLVED THE SCHOOL ISSUE HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN IN THE PLANNING STAGE. SHOULD HAVE BIKEPATHS TO SCHOOLS, A CROSSING AT THE MAJOR HWYS AND MORE PLAY SPACES KALISPELL HAS A GREAT NEED FOR A BY PASS SYSTEM. IN TOWN TRAFFIC COULD BE LESSENED IF A BYPASS WAS IN PLACE. MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO SHOP DOWNTOWN. I THINK IT IS WRONG TO ANNEX ONLY HIGH TAX BASE PROPERTY. WE NEED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CITY BOUNDARY AND AVOID THE FINGER TYPE LINES. DON'T EXCLUDE THE POOR PROPERTY AND TAKE THE GOOD. DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ITEMS IN #9. 1 FEEL A SHOPPING CENTER NORTH OF TOWN WOULD GREATLY HELP CONGESTION. THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN BUILDING & TRAFFIC ON CONRAD DR & SHADY LANE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE BEEN AT MY RESIDENCE FOR 5 1/2 YRS AND HAVE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF WILDLIFE I SEE NEAR THE RIVER - MUCH LESS AND THE AMOUNT OF GARBAGE LEFT NEAR THE RIVER - MUCH MORE. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROTECT WATER AND WILDLIFE ACCESS TO IT. I ALSO THINK THAT SINCE SO MUCH TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY HAS GONE INTO THE EXPANSION OF HWY 93 TO WHITEFISH THAT THIS WOULD BE A LOGICAL STRIP TO DEVELOP ALONG THE HIGHWAY WITH RESPECT TO THE RURAL COUNTRYSIDE. #7 CONT. - BETWEEN 4 CORNERS (HWY93) TO SHOPKO/K-MART JCT. CRITICAL TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND KALISPELL TO BREAK UP CONGESTION IN DOWNTOWN AREA. SUGGEST WILLOW GLEN AND MERIDIAN BE MADE HIGH PRIORITY. PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCE VALUES. ALLOW QUALITY DEVELOPMENTS (BOTH COMMERCIAL & SUBDIVISIONS). USE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS OR OTHER TOOLS TO PROTECT OPEN SPACE (PRIME AG LANDS, WATER COURSES, ETC.) MAY NEED TO COMPENSATE LANDOWNERS AND ENCOURAGE CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT. VISUAL QUALITY IS CRITICAL WILL BE CRITICAL TO OUR LONG TERM ECONOMIC GROWTH. 1-THE PHASING OF THE QUESTIONS IN THIS QUESTIONAIRE DO NOT MATCH WELL WITH PHASING OF THE ANSWERS. REQUIRE A YES OR NO RESPONSE. 2- NEED ROAD CUT THRU FROM HWY 93 TO HWY 2 AT ABOUT EVERGREEN 31 DRIVE. TOO MUCH TRAFFIC IS FORCED TO GO EITHER DOWNTOWN OR OUT TO RESERVE INTERSECTION TO GET TO WEST SIDE OF KALISPELL FROM EAST SIDE. #6-A USEABLE BYPASS IS WAY OVERDUE. WE SHOULD BE PLANNING AN EAST/WEST BYPASS NOW. PARKING AT THE KNEAD BAKERY - A LITTLE LEVITY TO OFFSET THE SERIOUSNESS OF TOPIC AT HAND. #7-NECESSARY REDUCTION. 1-1 DO NOT THINK THE CITY SHOULD SPEND TAXPAYERS MONEY FOR HOUSING PROJECTS WHICH COMPETE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR. GOVERNMENT ALWAYS DOES A WORSE JOB AND SPENDS MORE MONEY. 2- THE CITY & COUNTY SHOULD TRY TO ASSIST REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS RATHER THAN BOG THEM DOWN WITH BOLOGNE THAT MAKES LESS EXPENSIVE HOUSING AN UNREALISTIC GOAL. 3-QUIT TRYING TO ANNEX EVERGREEN AND ITS COMMERCIAURESIDENTIAL AREAS TO COLLECT A WINDFALL TAX THAT YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ANY SERVICE TO WARRANT ANNEXATION. WE PAID FOR OUR SEWER, WATER SO LEAVE US ALONE #6-WE NEED A BYPASS FOR TRUCKS - DOWNTOWN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. #9- PUBLIC SEWER & WATER ON AN AS NECESSARY BASIS. I LIVE ON STAG LANE AND FIND THAT BASEMENTS ARE CONTINUALLY FILLING WITH WATER. EVEN IN WINTER AT TIMES. I DON'T BELIEVE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERMITTED HERE. WHY ARE WE PAYING BIG BUCKS FOR SO MANY PERMITS IF THE HOMEOWNER HAS NO PROTECTION! I AM IN FAVOR OF CONCENTRATING DEVELOPMENT SO AS TO LEAVE AS MUCH RURAL LAND OPEN AS POSSIBLE. I CAN SEE US COMING BACK IN 100 YEARS AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE PRIME FARMLAND TO SUSTAIN A GROWING POPULATION. LETS BUILD DEVELOPMENTS ON THE POORER LAND. PLEASE WE NEED A TRUCK BYPASS. #1 PRIORITY. #4-1 WOULD FAVOR 1 HOUSE ON 5 ACRES INSTEAD OF CLUSTERING. THIS LAND WAS YOUR LAND - READERS DIGEST OCT 1997 ISSUE. I'M VERY MUCH AGAINST THIS TYPE OF THING. THESE PEOPLE HAVE WORKED ALL THEIR LIVES FOR THIS PROPERTY FOR THEIR OLD AGE. THEN MR. BABBITT MAKES A BIRD HABITAT OF THEIR PROPERTY. THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT TURNS ME OFF OF PLANNING. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEIR LAND BUT PAY THE TAXES ON IT. IT ONLY HURTS THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THE LAND. I THINK DRIVING CARS TO HIGH SCHOOL COULD BE A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD HELP TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. A LOT OF THEM COULD WALK THEY USED TO WALK FROM THE NORTHEAST PART OF TOWN AND 1T DIDN'T HURT THEM ANY. MAYBE WITH MORE BUS SERVICE THAT TIME OF DAY THEY COULD USE THEM. #7 CONT.-PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR CARPOOLING, BIKING,BUSING TO WORK OR SHOP. PLEASE NO TRUCK BYPASS TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE AREA IS HIGHLY USED BY WALKERS, JOGGERS, CHILDREN ON BIKES, ELDERLY 32 STROLLERS, HORSE RIDER AND WILDLIFE. ONE OF KALISPELL'S BEST CLOSE RECREATION AREAS IS LONE PINE STATE PARK WHICH PEOPLE ACCESS FROM VALLEY VIEW DRIVE. PEOPLE WALK, BIKE, RUN FROM THE CITY AREA TO THIS DESTINATION FOR QUIET SOLITUDE. AND RELAXATION. IF THE BYPASS WERE PUT THROUGH THIS AREA, THE CITY WOULD LOSE AN IMPORTANT AREA THAT PROVIDES A CLOSE, NATURAL ENVIROMENT TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS ALSO AN ACTIVELY USED DEER AREA. PLEASE - ROUTE TRUCKS ON ALREADY EXISTING OPTIONS AND PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR CARPOOLING AND BUS SERVICE. THANKS. RE: L.P. PARK ENTRANCE ON VALLEY VIEW: THIS IS A UNIQUE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE AREA, THE ONLY 'WILD' AREA AVAILABLE BY WALKING. #7-INSTALL SIGNALS WITH TRIP LIGHTS & LEFT TURN ARROWS AND REPLACE STEEL BRIDGE TO REOPEN ACCESS/EGRESS TO RESIDENTS EAST OF BRIDGE.#8-SUPPORTER OF STRONG REGULATIONS TO PROTECT NEARBY RESIDENTS FROM TOXIC EFFECTS OF LAND USE (I.E. OPEN BURNING OF LARGE AREAS; BURNING OF RUBBER TIRES; CHEMICAL EMISSIONS SPRAYING OF CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES; EMISSIONS FROM DISTILLATIN PROCESSES SUCH AS MINT PLANT DISTILLING; SMOKE HOUSES). IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT A BRIDGE BE OPENED BETWEEN KIWANIS LANE & STEEL BRIDGE RD/HOLT STAGE RD. NOT ONLY DO RESIDENTS HAVE TO DRIVE SEVERAL MILES FURTHER EVERY DAY, BUT ARE ALSO TRAPPED IF THE ONLY OTHER ACCESS/EGRESS SHOULD BE CLOSED OR CUTOFF FOR ANY REASON. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN JUSTIFY HAVING CREWS SPEND SEVERAL MONTHS RAISING AND GRADING AND PAVING THE ROAD FROM FAIRMONT EGAN SCHOOL TO THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE FAIRMONT RD MEETS EGAN THAT ROAD WAS NOT "TOO LOW" AS YOU CLAIMED. IT NEVER FLOODED THIS SUMMER, BUT STEEL BRIDGE RD WAS FLOODED AND IMPASSABLE SEVERAL TIMES. THAT KIND OF MISMANAGEMENT AND MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND MANPOWER SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. PAVE THE AREA OF STEEL BRIDGE RD THAT IS CURRENTLY UNPAVED (THEREBY REDUCING POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE ROAD CLOSURE DUE TO FLOODING AND IMPROVING AIR QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES/MEDICAL & OXYGEN SUPPLY VEHICLE ACCESSIBILITY). #10-I'M CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE CITY, HOWEVER, DO NOT GET THE BENEFITS OF THOSEWHO ARE DOWNTOWN NO WATER, FIRE OR POLICE PROTECTION, ETC. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. THE CITY OF KALISPELL WOULD BE WISE TO TAKE A LESSON FROM THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE WHERE THE LIGHTS DOWN THE MAIN STREET ARE EITHER RED OR GREEN FOR A MILE. THEY HAVE BIGGER POPULATION AND A MUCH BETTER FLOW NOT THE CONGESTION THERE IS TRYING TO GET FROM ONE END OF KALISPELL TO THE OTHER IN ANY DIRECTION WITH ONE LIGHT- RED AND ONE LIGHT GREEN. FOR SAFETY REASONS ALL SIGNAL LIGHTS SHOULD HAVE LEFT TURN ARROWS (BY WALMART, TOWN PUMP ON 5TH & IDAHO) FLASHING LIGHTS WEST OF MAIN STREET SHOULD BE RED ALL 4 WAYS SO 33 EVERYONE HAS TO STOP. ON THE AMBER LIGHT PEOPLE DON'T SLOW DOWN VERY MUCH WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. (1) THIS QUESTION STRUCTURED FOR ONLY CERTAIN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT. (2) NO THOUGHT TO MODERATE SPEEDS TO ALL CROSS TRAFFIC FUNCTION BETTER. SPEED RESTRICTIONS RIGHT NOW ARE HAZARDS 25 M.P.H. SHOULD BE TOP SPEED. LOOK AT THE FENDER BENDING AND CLOSE CALLS TO PERSONS, WALKING, INCL. BIKES.... (3) THIS QUESTIONAIRE IS FAULTED IN STRUCTURE - MAJOR HIDDEN "REASONS" FOR THE EXISTING BUSINESS NOW. (4) KALISPELL CITY AIRPORT CAN EXIST - NO OTHER VALLEY AREAS WOULD BE AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH LAND COSTS - 1920-40'S TO DATE HAS GENERATE JOBS, SERVICES, ETC. (5) THIS QUESTIONAIR IS NOT DESIGNED - IT WOULD TAKE OTHER AND MORE EXTENSIVE PROOFS BEFORE IT WOULD SERVE THE ???(CAN'T READ). QUESTION NO. 4 NOTE: THEY ARE ALL VITAL IDEAS - BUT NOT WORKABLE AT THIS STAGE OF STUDY .... NO WAY WOULD THIS QUESTIONAIRE DO MUCH GOOD NOW. RIGHT NOW: -'GO SLOW - EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT - USE THE STANDARDS AVAILABLE NOW - WORK ON THE MOST DIFFICULT AREAS - HEAVY VEHICLES - TRUCK BY-PASS WAS IN OFFERING 25 YEARS AGO... DON'T FILL IN NATURAL WATER WAYS .... THEY MUST BE PROTECTED TO PREVENT SERIOUS LONG TERM DAMAGES, ETC... NOTE: LET THIS FIRST TRAIL QUESTIONAIR KEEP IMPROVING THE GUIDELINES ONE AT A TIME - NO. 1 MODERATE SPEED - THE EXCESSIVE JAMS IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO THE FLOW - WHICH COULD ALLOW MORE CROSS TRAFFIC. SURE -'YOU'RE EFFORTS ARE MOST IMPORTANT - ONE TRY IS JUST A START - IT WILL PREVENT BIG PROBLEMS LATER #1-AS IM' RURAL, SORT OF IN A MOBILE HOME PARK, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A MOM -POP STORE NEAR BY WITH GAS, BUT NOT MANY, SO NEEDS SOME CONTROL. IT WOULD BE OF VALUE I BELIEVE IF SOME (REG.)S BE MADE FOR TRAILER COURT OWNERS, IN RE: TO CARE/MAINTENANCE OF THEIR ACCESS RDS/STS. HAVING LIVED IN THREE, OVER THE LAST TWO YRS. ONE IN EVERGREEN, BY OLES, THE DUST, HOLES, ETC ARE AT TIME UNREAL. - ALSO TWIN ACRES WHERE MY DAUGHTER & FAMILY & I LIVE (LIVED) TOGETHER. THE ROAD SO FULL OF HOLES, DUST, WATER, MUD, ICE WINTER, NO OR LIL SNOW PLOWED, ETC... MY FEAR THEN & NOW FOR MY FAMILY IS THAT, IF THERE WERE AN EMERGENCY, IT WOULD MAYBE COST TIME, LIFE, AT TIMES IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY BAD, THE LANDLORD DOES NOTHING. THE COURT WHERE I AM IS WHAT I WOULD CALL A MODEL, MODERATE, INCOME LEVEL, FAMILY ORIENTED/RETIRED, ETC. PAVED, CLEAN -KEPT, QUIET ALL ABIDE CERFEW HOUR 10P. ETC. WHILE OUR NEIGHBORING COURT IS OWNED BY ?? AND IS THE SO TYPICAL COURT I'VE SEEN. BAD, DUSTY ROAD, NOISE, ETC., ETC. I DON'T MEAN THIS JUDGEMENTAL -OF THE-PEOPLE/RENTERS... OR _ LANDLORDS, I JUST FEEL MAYBE MORE REGS WOULD HELP, BY UP -GRADING OUR AREA. ETC. THANK YOU 34 #2-WE HAVE ENOUGH COMMERCIAL RETAIL SPACE AS 1. USE WHAT'S HERE RATHER THAN NEW RETAIL CONSTRUCTION -NEW CONSTRUCTION ONLY TO USE MORE EFFICIENTLY WHAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED ALREADY. #6-3RD & 4TH E ARE ROADS THROUGH RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT FUNCTION AS THOROUGHFARES ACROSS TOWN. THERE ARE FEW STOP SIGNS -THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED MORE DIRECT ROADS ACROSS TOWN NOT MORE STOP SIGNS ON 3RD & 4TH. HOW WILL THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY DOVETAIL WITH ACTIONS OF NEWLY APPOINTED BOARD? THAT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED. NOTHIN IN THIS SURVEY REGARDING DEVELOPMENT/CREATION/ CONTINUATION OF A CITY/COUNTY PARKS PROGRAM. PARKS LIKE WOODLAND & LAWRENCE ARE HIGHLY VALUED & USED BY THE PUBLIC. THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS MORE LIKE THEM. STRONGLY URGE A DEVELOPMENT TAX OR FEE WHERE NEW SUBDIVISIONS/DEVELOPERS PAY FOR PAVING, LIGHTS, SEWER INSTALLATION WITHOUT TAXPAYER BURDEN. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT. #4-CANT ANSWER THIS. WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO MANAGE RURAL GROWTH? LET THE MARKET PLACE MAKE THIS DETERMINATION. RARELY DOES PUBLIC POLICY HAVE BETTER INSIGHT THAN THE MARKETPLACE. #8- ALL TOO OFTEN THE PUBLIC FEELS THAT THEY HAVE AN INTEREST SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS. RARELY IF EVER DOES THAT EXIST. YOUR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS PROVIDED ARE FAR TOO NARROW & LIMITING. `4Y MAIN CONCERN IS THE EVER GROWING PUBLIC AGENCIES INFLUENCE ON .31VATE PROPERTY RIGHTS & RESULTING AFFECT IT HAS ON THE MARKET PLACE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT EXCESSIVE PUBLIC INFLUENCE DOES FAR MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD. PUBLIC AGENCIES SHOULD TRY AND LIMIT THEIR CONCERNS TO 'PUBLIC SAFETY & HEALTH' ISSUES. GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE AS ITS OBJECTIVE LARGELY THOSE ISSUES WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL CANNOT PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF. GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT TRY AND MAKE ITSELF A PARTNER IN EVERY ENDEAVOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR UNDERTAKES. GOVERNMENT IS FAST BECOMING FAR TOO PERVASIVE IN INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. THE CITY OF KALISPELL'S HANDLING OF THE FORMER COLLEGE PROPERTY IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF MISGUIDED PUBLIC POLICY WHICH HAS COST THE TAXPAYER UNTOLD DOLLARS AND GREATLY DISTORTED THE MARKETPLACE. 1-OUTSIDE DEVELOPMENT (RURAL) NEEDS TO PAY THEIR SHARE, THE COUNTY AND CITY SHOULD NOT SUBSIDIZE THESE PEOPLE BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED FROM BUILDING ON THEIR PROPERTY. 2-ANY BYPASS(DROP THE WORD TRUCK) NEEDS TO INCLUDE WHITEFISH & COLUMBIA FALLS DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IS BEING HURT BY THE AMOUNT OF CARS NOT HELPED I.E. MISSOULA WITH ORANGE STREET OFF RAMP. 3-- KALISPELL NEEDS A PLANNED BUSINESS DISTRICT- WITH APPROPRIATE STOP LIGHTS, TRUCK ROUTES, ETC. THIS SHOULD BE PLANNED AROUND THE BvPASS. 35 GROWTH WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE NEW CONSTRUCTION IN KALISPELL, WE NEED TO UTILIZE THE EMPTY BUILDINGS WE HAVE. WE NEED A WHOLE NEW ORIENTATION IN CONTROLLING UNRESTRICTED GROWTH NO DEVELOPMENTS BEFORE ADEQUATE ROADS AND SEWERS. DEVELOPMENTS ALONG WHITEFISH STAGE EXAMPLE OF LACK OF PLANNING. 9. THIS WOULD DEPEND ON DISTANCE FROM CITY. A SUBDIVISION ADJOINING THE CITY WOULD REASONABLY WANT: 1. PUBLIC SEWER AND WATER; 2 SIDEWALKS, CURB, GUTTER & S.S ALSO. ONE, TWO OR MORE MILES FROM CITY LIMITS MAY NOT WANT ANY OF THE ABOVE, WHICH BRINGS UP THE SIZE OF PARCELS. THERE ARE STUDIES DONE BY A THIRD PARTY SO TO SPEAK THAT GIVE US PROPERTY GUIDE LINES FOR THIS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF FLATHEAD VALLEY THAT GROWTH MUST BE PLANNED AND MANAGED. I SUPPORT PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS BUT ALSO BELIEVE THAT NEIGHBORS HAVE THE RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY FROM THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY OF KALISPELL IS GOING TO GROW, WHETHER MANAGED OR NOT. THIS MASTER PLAN IS NEEDED AND SHOULD BE COORDINATED WITH ANY TRAFFIC BYPASS ROUTE(S) AROUND KALISPELL PROPER. PERSONALLY I THINK KALISPELL, COLUMBIA FALLS, WHITEFISH HAD BETTER COORDINATE THEIR RESPECTIVE PLANS BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE 3 MUNICIPALITIES THAT WILL ENCOMPASS ALL AREAS IN THIS REGION BEFORE LONG. FOR REAL SAVINGS COMBINE SOME PUBLIC SERVICES FROM ALL THREE. EACH PROVIDING COST SUPPORT, IE POLICE, FIRE, RESCUE, SNOW REMOVAL, ROAD MAINTENANCE, ETC. YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL TRYING TO BALANCE THE OLD AND NEW KALISPELL, BUT THE FUTURE POSITIVE IMAGE OF KALISPELL WILL NOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE, BUT BY MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. I STRONGLY SUPPORT THE LIVEABLE COMMUNITIES AND SMART GROWTH CONCEPTS ESPOUSED BY CITIZENS FOR A BETTER FLATHEAD AND HERO. I ALSO STRONGLY SUPPORT THE OVERALL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH TACTICS THAT THE CITY PLANNING, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT IS TAKING. OUR DOWNTOWN IS MORE VIABLE ECONOMICALLY AND AESTHETICALLY AS A RESULT OF THEIR DIRECTION. GOOD LUCK! ITS TIME WE STARTED RECOGNIZING THE CONTINUED GROWTH AND THE FACT THAT IT IS ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE GROWING. THE FLATHEAD VALLEY IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE STILL. I'VE LIVED IN CENTRAL & NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, OREGON, N DAKOTA, ARKANSAS AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO AN AREA IS UNREGULATED DEVELOPMENT, AND DEGRADATION OF NATURAL AREAS. I WOULD FAVOR HIGHER TAXES, OR INCONVIENCES, TO SEE THE FLATHEAD'S BEAUTY MAINTAINED. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY EFFORTS MADE, SUCH AS A RECYCLING CENTER, BICYCLE LANES ALONG NEW ROADS, AND NO MORE STORES SUCH AS WALMART, SHOPKO, KMART (THEY`RE USEFUL BUT WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM) THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT. WE MUST CONCENTRATE ON DOING THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT WE HAVE. WITH NEW IMPROVEMENTS COMES HIGHER TAXES. MY PROPERTY TAXES WENT FROM 680 TO 2300 IN FIVE YEARS AND I DON'T SEE ONE THING I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT. 15 YEARS AGO THIS WAS A REAL NICE PLACE TO LIVE, NOW IT'S GOING TO POT. THE GROWTH MUST BE CONTROLLED. IT IS NO LONGER THE LAST BEST PLACE TO LIVE. NEED TO PRESERVE THE SMALL TOWN ATMOSPHERE THE GROWTH OF THIS CITY IS A WONDERFUL THING. AFTER ALL IT IS WHAT KEEPS US WORKING AND GETTING A PAY CHECK. DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT GO BEYOND OLD COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT OR COUNTY HOSPITAL SOUTH OF KALISPELL, NOR PAST NORTH OF RESERVE DRIVE WEST AND EAST. WEST AND EAST RESERVE DRIVE SHOULD BE CITY LIMIT. 'NORTH" TWO MILE DRIVE WEST CITYLIMIT AND ALSO 3 MILES PAST TRUCK STOP WEST OF KALISPELL. CITY LIMITS NOT TO EXCEED PAST FLATHEAD RIVERS EAST OF KALISPELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYTHING BEYOND SAID POINTS SHOULD BE AND NEED TO BE FARM AND OR AGRICULTURE LANDS. THIS TOWN WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR THIS BIG INCREASE IN POPULATION. THE GATES IN THIS VALLEY NEED TO BE SHUT. QUALITY OF LIFE IN THIS VALLEY IS GOING DOWNHILL FAST. DEAR PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS: GROWTH IN POPULATION BENEFITS BUSINESSES ENGAGED IN REAL ESTATE SALES AND DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESSES ENGAGED IN RETAIL SALES. BUT, GROWTH IN POPULATION BURDENS THE CITY AND COUNTY WITH NEEDS FOR MORE SCHOOLS, MORE ROADS, MORE UTILITY SERVICES AND MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT. ADDED TAX REVENUES FROM POPULATION GROWTH ALMOST NEVER COVER THE COSTS FOR ADDED SERVICES PROVIDED BY CITIES AND COUNTIES. GROWTH IN POPULATION ALWAYS ADVERSLY IMPACTS THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF PROMOTING GROWTH IN INDIVIDUALS INCOMES. 37 GROWTH IN INCOME ALLOWS CITIZEN'S TO PAY FOR BETTER SCHOOLS, BETTER HEALTH CARE, BETTER ENTERTAINMENT, BETTER HOUSING. GROWTH IN INCOME ALLOWS CITIZENS TO BETTER SUPPORT CHURCHES AND PRIVATELY FUNDED SERVICE GROUPS. GROWTH IN QUALITY OF LIFE RATHER THAN GROWTH IN QUANTITY OF LIFE SHOULD BE THE GOAL. THE WHOLE FLATHEAD VALLEY IS GROWING FAST. IT IS HARD TO REGULATE & CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY GOOD OR BAD. THE FAST GROWING AREA OF EVERGREEN SHOULD BE ANNEXED & CONTROLLED SO THAT IN THE FUTURE ALL LAND, LOTS, COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL ARE LIKE A CITY SHOULD BE NOT JUST A BUNCH OF COUNTRY SHACKS SCATTERED ON HAPHAZARD PARCELS OF PROPERTY. THIS SURVEY IS PROBABLY 10 YEARS TO LATE, BUT WE NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON THINGS. IT IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL WE BELIEVE PLANNING FOR GROWTH IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WE SHOULD LEARN FROM OTHER AREAS WHERE GOOD PLANNING EXISTS. BUT WE MUST FIRST PROTECT OUR VISUAL ENVIRONMENT AND GREEN SPACE. STOP ALL RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL GROWTH. IF YOU WANT THIS PLACE TO LOOK LIKE LA THEN MOVE DOWN THERE. WHAT IS NICE IN LA WE DON'T NEED HERE. I'M CONCERNED THAT GROWTH WILL OCCUR WILLY-NILLY W/NO PLANNING DUE TO REAL ESTATE PEOPLE & DEVELOPERS TYING THE HANDS OF CITY & COUNTY PLANNERS. ALL UNDER THE NAME OF PERSONAL RIGHTS. WHAT ABOUT THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND ORGANIZED THOUGHT-OUT DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY. COUNTY PLANNING SHOULD DISCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL AREAS. THIS SHOULD BE CONSERVED FOR THE FUTURE AS IMPORTANT WILDLIFE HABITAT, GREEN SPACE AND RECREATION AREAS. I THINK NEW DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE NORTH ON HWY 93 & NORTHEAST OF HWY 2 TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO WHITEFISH & COLUMBIA FALLS RESIDENTS. SINCE PART OF THIS SURVEY IS DIRECTED TOWARD GROWTH & QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE FLATHEAD REGION, I BELIEVE ANOTHER MAJOR ISSUE NOT MENTIONED IS CRIME RATES. I BELIEVE THAT KEEPING THE CRIME RATE LOW THROUGHOUT THE GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF A GREAT DEAL. TOO MANY CITIES TURN INTO HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE BECAUSE OF GANGS, DRUGS & VIOLENT CRIME. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR ASKING THE OPINIONS OF THE RESIDENTS. 9-3 SEND ALL PEOPLE WHO MOVED TO HER THAT ARE CRIMINALS BACK TO THE STATE THEY COME FROM IF CONVICTED OF ANY FELONY IN THIS STATE. THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE & CRIME RATE IS OUT OF HAND. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE SOON! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LARGER POLICE FORCE TO HANDLE THE VANDALS & SHIFTLESS PUNKS MOVING INTO TOWN FROM WASHINGTON AND CALIFORNIA. ANNEXATION #9 - ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO KALISPELL SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONFORM TO CITY STANDARS AS EVENTUALLY, IF GROWTH CONTINUES, THEY WILL (SHOULD) BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. COMMENTS: CONTRACT OUT ANNEXATION PROPOSALS TO COMPETENT ATTORNEY TO INSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM COUNTY TO CITY AND ALSO TO COMPLETE A HIGHER % OF PROPOSED ANNEXATIONS. THE TAX BASE FOR KALISPELL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED BY ANNEXATION. THIS WOULD REDUCE THE SEWER RATES FOR PEOPLE WHO NOW LIVE IN CITY LIMITS AND PAY OUTRAGEOUS $$$ FOR SEWER. 10,000 PEOPLE IN CITY LIMITS PAY FOR 40,000 PEOPLE THAT USE THE CITY. NOT FAIR TO TAXPAYER LIVING IN CITY OF KALISPELL. LET THE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE IN KALISPELL PLANNING & ANNEXATION! REALLY LISTEN TO THEM. I DO NOT THINK AREAS SHOULD BE ANNEXED WITHOUT A VOTE FROM ALL PEOPLE IN THE AREA. ALSO PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SEWER SERVICE WHETHER IN CITY LIMITS OR NOT IF NECESSARY BECAUSE OF HEALTH REASONS FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. PEOPLE OUT OF CITY COULD PAY EXTRA TO HAVE THIS SERVICE SINCE THEY ARE NOT PAYING CITY TAXES WHICH ARE WAY OUT OF LINE COMPARED TO COUNTY TAXES. IF YOU DO ANNEX TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES OUR TAXES WOULDN'T GO DOWN ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU WOULD FIND A WAY TO SPEND THEM ANYHOW. THE CITY OF KALISPELL SHOULD NOT ANNEX ANYTHING UNTIL IT CAN AT LEAST MANAGE AND MAINTAIN PROPERLY WHAT IT HAS. WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN FORCED ANNEXATION. I THINK BEFORE AN AREA IS ALLOWED TO BE DEVELOPED, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE AREA OUGHT TO HAVE A PART IN THE DECISION. 39 WHY NOT PROVIDE ALL THE ABOVE IN QUESTION #9 TO THE AREAS YOU HAVE ANNEXED ALREADY, BUT ALL YOU DO IS RAISE THE TAXES AS SOON AS IT'S ANNEXED. RIP OFF. ANNEXATION ISSUES SHOULD BE VOTED ON BY THE INHABITANTS OF THE AREA INVOLVED YOU SHOULD NOT TRY JUST THE BUSINESSES OR ESPECIALLY THE GAMING BUSINESSES WHICH IS AT THE CORE OF THE TRY FOR ANNEXING EVERGREEN. THAT AMOUNTS TO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. THE CITY HAS A LONG WAY TO GO IN GETTING ITS OWN ACT TOGETHER BEFORE IMPOSING THEIR WILL ON OTHERS WHO DON'T HAVE A VOICE ON THE COUNCIL. CITY SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE FURNISHED TO NON-RESIDENTS. INCLUDING SEWER, WATER, PARKS, POOLS, LIGHTING OR ANY SERVICES PAID FOR BY CITY RESIDENTS. I THINK THAT IF KALISPELL WANTS TO ANNEX EVERGREEN, IT HAS TO BE ALL OF EVERGREEN OR NON. WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE CITY OF KALISPELL ANNEXING ANY PROPERTIES WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE RESIDENTS INVOLVED IN PROPOSED ANNEXATION. GOVERNMENT STOP RAISING TAX #4-THE CONSTITUTION SAYS NOTHING ABOUT MANAGING GROWTH. #6- PLEASE CONSIDER LEFT TURN ARROWS AFTER GREEN LIGHT, I'AM UNHAPPY WITH CITY, COUNTY, STATE &, FED. GOV. I THINK IT IS SOCIALIST AND IS BECOMING MORE SO EVERYDAY. PRIVATE PROPERTY IS THE CORNERSTONE OF THIS COUNTRY AND I DONT THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESTRICT LAND USE FROM ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER(S). PLEASE NOTE THAT ANYMORE REG. WILL BE REMEMBERED AT THE BALLOT BOX. IN SHORT DEREGULATE. THE COUNTY COMMISIONERS SHOULD LISTEN WHEN THE PUBLIC SPEAKS. THEN DROP IT UNTIL THE PUBLIC REQUEST IT. BIGGEST PROBLEM IN FLATHEAD VALLEY IS BUREAUCRATS MESSING WITH THINGS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND CAN'T EVEN DO THEIR OWN JOBS. IF I WERE TO TELL ANYONE THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THEIR PROPERTY UNLESS THEY FIRST GOT PERMISSION FROM ME AND THEY THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THIS PERMISSION, OR IF THEY WANTED TO FISH, HUNT, DRIVE A VEHICLE, PAY TAXES ON THEIR HOME OR LOSE IT, OR THE MANY OTHER FORMS OF HARRASSMENT THAT WE ARE SUBJECT TO, I WOULD BE CALLED A GANGSTER OR MAFIA. I WOULD ALSO HAVE A GANG OF PAID 40 BULLIES TO CARRY OUT THESE NICETIES. BUT I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. WE LIVE IN AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE WHAT'S FREE? I DON'T ASK THE CITY TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A FREE HANDOUT. 1. FIRST PRIORITY - FREEDOMS & RIGHTS AS DEFINED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS THAT WERE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR COUNTRY. 2. SEE SECTION 8-B RUN A RECALL PETITION FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THEY ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS MEN I'VE EVER SEEN IN LOCAL PUBLIC OFFICE. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE MADE TO PUBLIC SERVICES AS WELL AS EXPANSION OF LAND & PUBLIC PROPERTY. THINK ABOUT OUR POLICE FORCE & FIRE DEPARTMENT. I FEEL THAT IF A PERSON IS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE OR GROUP. THESE PEOPLE SHOUD PAY THE TAXES ON LAND THEY WANT TO CONTROL. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS - ALL THE EFFORTS OF YOUR CONSTITUANTS AMOUNT TO NOTHING IF YOU WILL NOT ABIDE BY PUBLIC WISHES. I'M REFERRING TO THE PROPOSED ANIMAL SHELTER, BOTH LOCATION AND COST. ALL GOVERNMENT - IT IS MANDATORY THAT ALL PROPERTY OWNERS BE NOTIFIED IN WRITING WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING WHICH AFFECTS THEIR PROPERTY USE AND OWNERS RIGHTS. I'M REFERRING TO THE CURRENT COMMERCIAL CLASSIFICATION OF MY HOME. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THE CHANGE, AND COMMMERCIAL ZONING HAS DOUBLED OUR TAXABLE VALUE, & HAS MADE RESIDENTIAL LIVING VERY DIFFICULT. IF ANYONE FROM THE CITY WISHES TO DISCUSS THIS, FEEL FREE TO CALL. 1 - ELIMINATE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT BY PREVENTING ANY REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS OR PEOPLE WITH LARGE HOLDINGS IN DEVELOPMENT FROM HOLDING POSITIONS IN RURAL OR URBAN PLANNING. IF ELIMINATION IS NOT POSSIBLE, EXPOSE THEM. 2 - ELIMINATE ALL OUT -OF -STATERS FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT. HIRE LOCALLY. NO MORE SEARCHING FOR PLANNING PROFESSIONALS OUTSIDE FLATHEAD COUNTY. GET REAL, GET HONEST, HELP YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. 3 - ELIMINATE LOS ANGELES, ASPEN, OR WALT DISNEY WORLD AS MODELS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. I FEEL TO FURTHER PROTECT THE BUILDER AND THE HOMEOWNER BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE ENFORCED IN ALL THE KALISPELL AREA. REDUCE THE TAX BURDEN ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ESPECIALLY WITH THE SLOW MOVING MARKET FOR PUBLIC HOUSING. 41 KEEP YOUR NOSES OUT AND LET PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT TO. TAXES ARE TOO HIGH #9 - I FEEL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING TO LIVE THERE SHOULD MAKE THE DECISIONS ON WHAT THEY WANT. THE CITY COUNCIL & COUNTY COMMISONERS HAVE IGNORED PUBLIC WISHES FOR 30 YEARS, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. OPEN SPACE, WILDLIFE VALUES, QUALITY OF LIFE EQUATE TO TAX BASE AND GOLF COURSES TO THEM AND ALWAYS WILL. THEY HAVE THE FORESIGHT AND AESTHETIC VALUES OF A JACKASS. I AM STRONGLY OPPOSED TO PROPERTY TAXES BEING BASED ON PROPERTY VALUE. TAXES SHOULD BE BASED ON THE NEED OF THE COUNTY AND STATE TO PROVIDE BASIC SERVICES. BASING THE TAX RATE ON VALUE IS AN INVOLUNTARY TAX HIKE WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL AND FORCES LIMITED AND FIXED INCOME PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE AREA THEY LIVE IN. CITY & COUNTY GOVERNMENT HAVE FAR TOO MUCH POWER OVER PRIVATE PROPERTY. THEY SHOULD WORK WITH SUBDIVIDERS INSTEAD OF BEING OBSTRUCTIONISTS. CITY BUILDING DEPT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY JURISDICTION OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS HAVE NO REPRESENTATION IN THE CITY. I LIVE WITHIN THE CITY OF KALISPELL SOLELY FOR BUILDING PERMITS ONLY. 1 FIND THIS TO BE PRACTICE EQUIVALENT OT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. I MUST PAY FOR A BUILDING PERMIT BUT I AM NOT AFFORDED ANY OFHTE OTHER SERVICES TYPICAL OF THE AVERAGE CITY DWELLER. I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW ONE CAN BE A PART OF SOMETHING BUT NOT REALLY A PART. I AM NOT A FREEMAN, I PAY MY TAXES AND OBEY THE LAWS ESTABLISHED BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT QUESTION THE INTELLECTUAL STATUS OF THOSE IMPOSING THE LAWS. I BELIEVE THIS PROGRAM TO BE EQUIVALENT TO WHAT WE FOUGHT THE BRITISH FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS AGO - TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. PLANNING AND ZONING DO SOME OLD FASHIONED P.R. FOR PLANNING BOARD. THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL ARE EITHER CLUELESS OR MISINFORMED ABOUT THE PURPOSE AND GOALS OF KCCPB. PUT OUT A MISSION STATEMENT AND A TIE LINE OF GOALS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. I RECEIVE NO SERVICES FROM THE CITY. WHY DO I HAVE TO BE UNDER THE CITY MANAGEMENT PLAN? THE PLANNING BOARD DOES NOT FOLLOW UUP ON WHAT THEY TELL SUBDIVISIONS TO DO. 42 KEEP THE CITY AS IT IS AND LEAVE THE COUNTY ALONE. IF WE WANTED CITY LIFE AND ITS CONGESTION, TAXES, ETC, WE WOULD MOVE. AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL KALISPELL IS DRIVEN BY GREED AND WE DO NOT WANT TO BE INCLUDED. WE DON'T THINK KALISPELL HAS THE RIGHT TO MANAGE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS UNLESS ASKED. THE HEARING WHEN PACK & COMPANY WANTED TO MOVE FROM 1-1 TO B-2 DEMONSTRATED THE UNREASONABLENESS OF THE MASTER PLAN. WHILE THE PLAN IS ONLY A GUIDE YOUR STAFF SAYS THAT ANYTHING THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN A 30 YEAR OLD PIPE DREAM IS TO BE REJECTED. THE CHANGES OF 93 & RESERVE OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS SHOW THAT THE 1-1 USE IS NOT THE HIGHEST & BEST USE. THE NEW SEWER LINE TO THE HAGADONE 140 APARTMENTS IS A MUST & PACK WAS GOING TO FUND 1/2 MILE OF THE EXTENSION. PLANNING BOARDS SHOULD BE MADE TO ADHERE TO THE SAME TIME LINES AS PROPERTY OWNERS AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECOURSE IF THEY DO NOT MEET THEIR TIMELINES. PLANNING BOARDS ONCE A DECISION IS MADE CONCERNING A SUBDIVISION OR DEVELOPMENT, SHOULD STICK WITH THAT DECISION. FOR INSTANCE, THE WHITEFISH PLANNING COUNCIL SEEMS TO CHANGE WITH THE WIND, MONTHLY. AT THE SOME POINT IN TIME SUCH CHANGES ARE GOING TO RESULT IN LAW SUITS THAT WILL COST THE TAXPAYER DEARLY. REGULATION & PLANNING FOR GROWTH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY THIS SURVEY WAS DONE ONCE - NOW YOU ARE TRYING IT AGAIN. THE MASTER PLAN WAS VOTED DOWN. WHY IS THIS GOING ON? WE HAVE REGULATIONS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING WE DO NOW. I SEE NO NEED FOR MORE. I SINCERELY DOUBT YOU CAN COME UP WITH A NEW MASTER PLAN THAT WILL SUCCESSFULLY APPEASE THE NATIVES WHO HAVE LIVED HERE ALL THEIR LIFE AND THE IMPORTS WHO HAVE COME IN AND PURCHASED THEIR 'LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN" HOPING NO ONE WILL EVER BUILD WHERE THEY CAN SEE IT. THE TOTAL LACK OF COMMON SENSE USED IN MAKING DECISIONS IS APALLING. THE PLANNING BOARD MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS SO ABSURD IT HAS BECOME A COUNTY JOKE. WHY THIS BOARD ISN'T REQUIRED TO PHYSICALLY VIEW EACH PROPOSITION IS OUTRAGEOUS. THEY ARE A BOARD OF PEOPLE OF WHOM THE MAJORITY DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO THE LAW AND LIMITATION OF EACH CASE. THEN THEY LET THE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC INSULT EVERYONES INTELLIGENCE AND THEN BASE THEIR RULINGS ON THESE RAMBLINGS. THEY COULD AT LEAST LET 43 THE PETITIONER SPEAK LAST TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST THIS NONSENSE IN ORDER TO PUT THINGS BACK IN THE LEGAL OR COMMON SENSE AREA. IN FACT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE FEES TO HAVE THESE HEARINGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK LAST. THAT SHOULD INCLUDE ALL COUNTY & CITY HEARINGS! DEVELOPMENT OF ANY PROPERTY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON IMPACT TO THOSE SURROUNDING IT ON A CASE BASIS. LUMPING CATEGORIES AND GROUPING THE RIGHTS OF PROPERTY OWNERS IS TO RESTRICTIVE FOR SMALL BUSINESS. COMPATABILITY IS A BETTER STANDARD TO USE. THE PLANNING BOARD SHOULD FAMILARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE AREA THEY ARE ZONING. OFTEN TIMES, AS IN OUR AREA, THERE IS EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS. THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY GRANDFATHERED IN AND IT IS WRONG TO BLANKET ZONE IT AS R4. IT DOES A GREAT DISSERVICE TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS RESULTING IN LOSS OF TIME ATTENDING MEETINGS WITH THE PLANNING BOARD, MONETARY LOSS IN ATTORNEY FEES. ALSO, PEOPLE WHO ARE EFFECTED BY NEW ZONING SHOULD BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL. THE COUNTY HAS NO PROBLEM DELIVERYING OUR PROPERTY TAX NOTICE AND THINK WE DESERVE TO BE NOTIFIED BY THE PLANNING BOARD TO SOMETHING THAT DRASTICALLY EFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO MAKE A LIVING AND MANAGE OUR OWN LAND. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT #8 - DEPENDS ON WHERE LAND IS. COMMENTS: NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE NOW BUILT ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN (NEAR GATEWAY WEST MALL) TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE BUSINESSES ALREADY THERE! THAT SIDE OF TOWN BUSINESSES SEEM TO BE SUFFERING DUE TO ALL THE NEWER BUSINESSES BEING BUILT ON EAST SIDE OR EVERGREEN AREA. I AM AGAINST BUSINESSES EXPANDING INTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS, THERE IS PLENTY OF OPEN LAND SURROUNDING KALISPELL IN ALL DIRECTIONS FOR BUSINESS EXPANSION DO NOT LET PRIVATE BUSINESS BUILD IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD'S WITHOUT MAJOR ACCESS STREETS. FOR EXAMPLE: WILD GEESE GARDEN UNPAVED ACCESS STREET IN AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. ANY ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY NEEDS TO HAVE JUNK OR UNSIGHTLY ITEMS REMOVED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. SLOW DOWN INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL BUILDING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS SUCH AS WHITEFISH STAGE 44 COMMERCIAL GROWTH SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO USE EXISTING AREAS AND NOT TO EXPAND INTO OUTLYING AREAS. I BELIEVE BUSINESS THAT ALREADY EXISTS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO ANOTHER BUSINESS JUST LIKE THEM TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD RIGHT NEXT DOOR. SO IN THE LONG RUN THE FIRST ONE THERE ENDS UP CLOSING DOWN BECAUSE WE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN I THINK ALL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE ALONG HWY 2 TOWARDS COLUMBIA FALLS. ALL FARM LAND AND GRAZING LAND SHOULD BE BANDED FROM DEVELOPMENT OR FROM HOUSING. THE FARMING AND RANCHING IS BEING PUSHED OUT AND ITS TURNING REAL UGLY WITH HOUSES ALL OVER THE LAND AND HILLS SURROUNDING KALISPELL. I HAVE LIVED IN KALISPELL MOST OF MY LIFE. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME THE SUPER STORES WILL TAKE OVER THE KALISPELL AREA. THE SMALLER STORES ARE SELLING OUT EVERY YEAR. THE CHANGES ARE VERY RAPID. THE COMPETITION IS VERY STRONG. DOWNTOWN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WE NEED TO MAKE A DYING MAIN STREET VIABLE AGAIN. AS OF JUNE WE ARE NOW LIVING IN ALAMOGORDO NM. I LIVE IN AND AROUND KALISPELL FOR 55 YEARS AND AM IN FAVOR OF KEEPING KALISPELL DOWNTOWN AS IS. THE IMPROVEMENTS DOWNTOWN I.E. SIDEWALKS, BENCHES, TREES, LIGHTS ARE A GRAND STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. PERSONALLY I WOULD ADVOCATE A MORE CONCERTED EFFORT TO UTILIZE THE EXISTING OPEN AREAS IN DOWNTOWN SECTION FOR DEVELOPMENT. THIS WOULD CREATE AN IMAGE OF A THRIVING AND PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY, A LARGER TAX BASE, AND A FOCAL POINT FOR SERVING THE MAJOR NEEDS OF PEOPLE. THESE FACTORS WOULD CERTAINLY ACT AS A STIMULI TO ENCOURAGE NEW BUSINESSES AND DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING ONES. TO ME ITS REAL DEPRESSING TO VIEW THE DOWNTOWN WITH BOARDED UP FAILED BUSINESSES AND LARGE UNOCCUPIED LOTS. I CANT BELIEVE THIS SITE WOULD SERVE AS AN INDUCEMENT TO A PROSPECTIVE NEW BUSINESS INVESTOR. BY CONCERTRATING OUR BUSINESS AREA WE WOULD HOPEFULLY SALVAGE MUCH PRIME AGRICULTURE LAND AND ENHANCE MANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. GET THE CITY OUT OF THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS. GET RID OF GALLAGHER IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. STOP USING TAX INCREMENT $ FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. STOP FAVORING PARTICULAR BUSINESSES WITH TAX INCREMENT MONEY. 45 LOVE THE DOWNTOWN BENCHES & FLOWERPOTS WOULD LIKE TO SEE DOWNTOWN ESPECIALLY MAIN STREET RENOVATED. SOME OF THE OLDER BUILDINGS ARE QUITE ATTRACTIVE. MAYBE MORE OF THE BRICK AREAS WITH BENCHES THE TOWN OF KALISPELL HAS NO BUSINESS BEING IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS EXCEPT FOR THE PURCHASE OF LAND FOR PARKS. EMPTY ROCKY LAND IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA LOOKS CRUMMY. THESE PARCELS OF LAND BELONG ON THE TAX ROLLS AND NOT MANAGED BY A HIGH PAID CITY EMPLOYEE. ONCE THE GATEWAY MALL SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OR TAX INCREMENT PROJECT IS COMPLETED, EMPHASIS SHOULD FOCUS ON REVITALIZING THE UPTOWN AREA. CITY GET OUT OF THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER AND A GOOD SEWER TREATMENT AND ACCESS TO ALL IN THE VALLEY. GOVERNMENT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE RULES TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO PERSERVE THE BEAUTY OF THE VALLEY WE LIVE IN. WE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE RIVERS AND OPEN AREAS AS ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED TO KEEP THE RIVERS AND STREAMS AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. WORKING AT THE SPORTSMAN I KNOW HOW MUCH OF OUR LOCAL ECONOMY IS TIED TO OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TIGHTER CONTROL ON WATER FRONTAGE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER HAVING THE CORP OF ENGINEERS ACTUALLY DO SOME WORK. MOST FLOODING OCCURS FROM DEBRIS CREATING DAMS. THEY SHOULD WORK AT CLEANING THE AREAS, SO FLOODING DOES NOT OCCUR. CURRENT WATERFRONT OWNERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BUILD TO THE WATER. IF YOU WANT TIGHTER CONTROLS ON WATERFRONT THEN SET NEW REGULATIONS ON NEW PURCHASED LAND. WE ALL LIVE IN MONTANA BECAUSE WE LOVE ITS BIG OPEN SKY, NATURAL SCENIC WONDERS, MOUNTAINS, PRAIRIES, RIVERS, STREAMS & THE FLORA & FAUNA, BUT AT OUR CURRENT RATE OF EXPANSION THERE WILL SOON BE NOTHING LEFT. CAN WE NOT JUST REBUILD & MAKE BETTER USE OF WHAT WE NOW HAVE INSTEAD OF DESTROYING MORE OF MONTANAS SCENERY & WILDLIFE. WHOEVER COINED THE PHRASE 'KEEP MONTANA GREEN' REALLY 0 SAID A MOUTHFUL. PROGRESS IS GREAT, EXPANSION INTO NATURE IS NOT, A NEW SLOGAN COULE BE REVISE, IMPROVISE & REVITALIZE. ANIMAL HABITAT, WATERWAYS, FOREST, AND PRIME BOTTOM LAND SHOULD TAKE PRESIDENCE OVER THE ENCROACHMENT OF PEOPLE. MONTANA IS UNIQUE, BUT WITHOUT STRONG REGULATIONS AND COMMON SENSE ESPECIALLY SENSITIVITY TO WILDLIFE, WE'LL LOSE THAT IS AFTER THE ANIMALS DO. WILDLIFE IS ALREADY PAYING FOR OUR GREEDINESS. WE HAVEN'T DONE VERY WELL SO FAR. HAS IT BEEN SUGGESTED THAT WE RECYCLE. MAYBE A CUT IN OUR GARBAGE TAX FOR THOSE WHO SEPARATE GARBAGE. GLASS/PAPER/ GARBAGE! ALUMINUM CANS. SURVEY PLEASE SEND ME A COPY OF THE RESULTS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF THIS! THIS SURVEY IS TOO OPEN. NO DEFINITE DIRECTION BY THE QUESTIONS OTHER THAN WHAT'S OBVIOUS IN MY MIND. PLANNING SHOULD BE WHAT IS SAYS - A MASTERPLAN THAT IS FOLLOWED THANK YOU FOR WELCOMING MY INPUT I DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WILL YOU LISTEN AND FOLLOW THE SUGGESTIONS IN THIS SURVEY OR WILL YOU DO AS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AGAINST THE WILL OF THE COMMUNITY? IF YOU WANT MORE RESPONSES YOU'LL NEED TO ENCLOSE A POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE! WHAT A WASTE. ONE LETTER TO INFORM A PERSON YOU WILL RECEIVE A QUESTIONNAIRE. 1 WILL ATTEND ANY PUBLIC MEETING WHERE 1 CAN ASK PERTENANT QUESTIONS. THIS TYPE OF PREASKED QUESTIONS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR YOUR POLL. I DO NOT THINK IT KALISPELL'S BUSINESS TO TELL PEOPLE 4 MILES OUT WHAT TO DO. THE LETTER STATED OUR HOUSEHOLD IS ONE OF A RELATIVELY FEW TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONNAIRE. I FEEL THIS IS WHERE WE ARE POORLY REPRESENTATED. THIS DOES NOT GIVE THE PEOPLE A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THEIR OWN OPINION, BUT I DO THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO GIVE YOU MY 2 CENTS WORTH. THANKS 47 I HOPE YOU SENT A FAIR (EQUITABLE NUMBER) OF THESE SURVEYS TO RURAL RESIDENTS ALSO. CITY DWELLERS HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT AND YOUR DESIRED CHANGES DO NOT AFFECT THEM. THE PRIMARY IMPACT WILL BE ON THE RURAL PEOPLE ANNEXED. CHEAP - NO STAMP. I DON'T THINK A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE HOW I WANT TO LIVE, WHERE I LIVE AND HOW I LIVE. WHAT A POOR SELECTIN OF ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS FOR A SURVEY. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. READING THROUGH THE QUESTIONS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE QUESTION ARE HEAVILY WEIGHTED IN FAVOR OF MORE REGULATIONS. I AM NOT SURE THIS 1S THE WAY WE SHOULD BE TRENDING. YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE MORALITY NOR CAN GOVERNMENT TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. WE NEED TO TAKE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT. I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO HAVE SOME INPUT TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THANKS AS A MEMBER OF CITIZENS FOR A BETTER FLATHEAD, I HAVE BEEN EDUCATED ABOUT THE NEEDS AND PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH GROWTH IN THE AREA. ALTHOUGH THIS SURVEY IS WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT SHOULD PROVOKE SOME THOUGHT ON THE PERTINENT ISSUES, A MASSIVE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN IS NEEDED, I BELIEVE. I FEAR THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY WILL BE SKEWED BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES. HOPE THE SAMPLE IS A FAIR ONE. GOOD LUCK. (P.S. KEEP TRUCK ROUTE TO EAST OF KALISPELL TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE COLUMBIA FALLS CHIP TRUCKS.) MISCELLANEOUS I THOROUGHLY BELIEVE BECAUSE THIS SECTOR IS EXPANDING GREATLY THAT MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS CITIZENS IS NECESSARY. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS I HAVE IS THE AVAILABILITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE AVERAGE WAGE EARNER IN THIS CITY. I DON'T KNOW HOW A PERSON EARNING $20,000 TO $25,000 PER YEAR WITH A FAMILY CAN AFFORD A $100,000+ HOUSE OR A RENTAL FOR $600 - $700 PER MONTH. YOU WOULD HAVE TO WORK TWO OR THREE JOBS TO EARN A DECENT LIVING. WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG CENTRAL SCHOOL WAS CONDEMNED AS TOO DANGEROUS FOR OUR CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL THERE. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS NOW AND IF IT SHOULD BECOME A MUSEUM IT LIKELY WOULD 48 COLLAPSE LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE. WHY SPEND TAX MONEY ON A DEAD HORSE WHICH IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WHY NOT JUST TEAR IT DOWN FOR SALVAGE AND BUILD A DECENT BUILDING FOR THE MILLIONS YOU ALL WANT FOR THE MUSEUM WHERE THERE COULD BE PLENTY OF PARKING SPOTS SURROUNDING IT AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT "IS IT GOING TO COLLAPSE TODAY?" BUSINESSES NEARBY THE OLD SCHOOL NEED MORE PARKING AREA AS DOES LINDERMAN SCHOOL WHICH IS QUITE OLD AND STILL SERVICEABLE. WERE THE STAIRWAYS AND WELLS EVER REPAIRED IN CENTRAL SCHOOL? LAST I SAW THEM THEY WERE VERY NARROW AND STEEP AS WELL AS RICKETY. I NEVER HEARD OF ANY CHANGES MADE ON THEM. DO YOU WANT GRANDPA AND GRANDMA TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THEM IF IT IS A MUSEUM. THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE THE ONES USING THE MUSEUM AND WE DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THEM GOING INTO A PLACE LIKE THAT. WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT BARKING DOGS DAY OR NIGHT? IT SEEMS DOGS, DOG OWNERS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT OWN DOGS. THE POLICE ARE NO HELP WHATSOEVER WHEN A COMPLAINT IS MADE. WHY SHOULD A PERSON WHO HAS A BUSINESS RUN OUT OF HIS HOME BE ABLE TO HAVE HIS WORKERS PARK ALL DAY PART OF THE NIGHT IN FRONT OF NEIGHBORS HOMES. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE REGULAR HOMEOWNERS HAVE ANY RIGHTS ANY MORE. I WOULD LIKE A NOISE CONTROL ORDINANCE. I LISTEN TO MUSIC ALMOST EVERY EVENING FROM THE ROLLER RINK • ITS ABOUT TO DRIVE ME CRAZY AND SOMETHING DOES NEED TO BE DONE. I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES, BUT IT DOES NO GOOD. CITY OF KALISPELL NEEDS TO PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR THE YOUTH TO DO. AS A FOURTH GENERATION FLATHEAD VALLEY NATIVE I HAVE SEEN MANY IDEAS COME AND GO, BUT NOTHING FOR YOUTH AND TEENS TO DO. IF SOMETHING ISN'T PROVIDED, WE MIGHT END UP HAVING TO DO A QUESTIONAIRE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH GANGS, IN A FEW YEARS. MAP OF THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES SENT OUT WITH QUESTIONAIRE. WILL THE NEW ANIMAL SHELTER BE BUILD WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS NEAR A SCHOOL? I FEEL ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE BUILT ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN. THAT WOULD REDUCE TRAFFIC ON THE CITY STREETS & AVENUES BETTER PARKING IDEAS FOR RESIDENTS AROUND HIGH SCHOOL AREA WOULD BE NICE! I HAVE NOW MOVED TO IDAHO BUT REMAIN VERY INTERESTED IN KALISPELL 49 SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THE ODOR FROM THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT. THERE ARE TWO ILLEGAL MOBILE HOMES ON SOUTH WILLOW GLEN WHY WAS THIS ALLOWED. IF REGULATIONS ARE INFORCED ON PUBLIC LANDS, I THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PARKS &/OR RIVERS WITH OLD CAR BODIES ALONG RIVER BANKS. SAFETY BEING MY CONCERN & CITY OR COUNTY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR CLEAN UP & CLAIMS OF ACCIDENTS 0 4 O c w c O A 3 7 O • e o Em c o` cc 0 O to L f H N _Ol a 00 0l Oa a m � > e0 m > > 0 o`c�avo ,°,w E = LL �amo O Cl 'U 7 O m v O a O C a th O e � w a � AY • t!�Qc.iui 3aCU of Y .c- d O L 7 O o' C L F c C N a E D 0 Z m a0 O 7 N C c pp N C a _m e E m o a • E a i a C C O mcE• • m m c `° Cm a> a mN`m> a omc a a LCc cm O c N C m C C > • o m Y O Y t a ., t c P ad->► Co >y i oa B c 3D0 c0 w a '0 tvi j C S oa w Q ; 4a.0 t o $ m m m 0 o mac° c m 4 �c 3N > m• m taro o go - ., oma 2'c am m N Q E • r .0 as -v p or ac o oo` �rn mm8'° �' • �c•ec mom • Sam o a t M - o s o x� n amt 0 e cm 0� a o30� a 0ao•'0®YM Cl. 3m �Z` 'deco o !
