Dear Mr. Mayor,
I am writing you with concerns about the recent sale of the land to Rosauers. Although I
understand the sale of the property, I do not understand why the City of Kalispell has given Rosauers
an easement of land on the airport property. This easement has destroyed eight transient parking tie
downs. This easement is intended for a ditch -incase of any excess water coming off of the Rosauers
parking lot.
I believe that Rosauers should have to take care of their own water problem, as I know you
and I would have to take care of any personal problems.
The City of Kalispell will loose about $1440 a year in tie down fees, it will loose all of the gas
tax to these planes and the merchants in town will loose the money for rooms, groceries, rental cars,
etc.. As you can see, this will cost plenty for the area.
I hope more thought is put into the selling of the two remaining properties. I am also
concerned about someone buying one of the remaining properties on the airport and then using this
property to start another fixed base operation on the field. There is not enough business for one
operation, let alone three businesses. I have been on this field for twenty years and help set up the
current fee system and have always made sure that I have paid my fees on time. I would hope that
you and the council would put a resolution into effect on the remaining properties that there is no
access to the City Airport from these properties. This definitely needs to be accomplished.
Please give this matter your attention and pass this information along to the council.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
David J. oerner, Owner
