McDowell / Buls Request for Water Connection on Eighth Ave E
October 7, 2002
BACKGROUND: Attached with this memo is a letter from Dan McDowell and Bonnie
Buls requesting that the Kalispell City Council allow connection to City water on
property located at 1600 Eighth Avenue East and postpone annexation until such
time as the rest of the Greenacres area is annexed. Mr. McDowell and Ms Bulls live at
1518 Eighth Avenue East and would like to purchase property that adjoins theirs to
the south to be used as a residence for Mr. McDowell's elderly mother.
As you are aware, the City has an approximately two inch water line that runs from
north to south in Eighth Avenue East and is being used as a potable water source for
many of the residents along that road. There is inadequate pressure within the line
for fire hydrants and there is no public sewer in this immediate area. All of the homes
along Eighth Avenue East utilize on -site sewage treatment systems and most use City
water. Because there are many residents along Eighth Avenue East using City water
and because of the close proximity to the city limits, this area has been targeted for
annexation with the rest of the Greenacres area.
Mr. McDowell and Ms. Buls are proposing they be allowed to connect to City water,
will provide a petition to annex for the City to hold and would request that they be
annexed into the City as part of the Greenacres annexation. The staff would generally
support this request since this area will be annexed in its entirety at some point in
the future rather than annexing an island of property along Eighth Avenue East.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to grant the connection to City water in exchange for
a petition to annex which will be used at the time this area is annexed may be in
order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

RE: WATER CONNECTION
Dear Mayor & Councilpersons:
RECEIVED
SEP 2 6 2002
TRI-CITY PLANNING OFFICE
Please consider our request to connect to city water and postpone annexation
until such time as the Greenacres area is annexed into the City of Kalispell.
We will submit a petition to annex to keep on file with the City.
The property is located at 1600 8th Avenue East, and joins our property,
which is located at 1518 8th Avenue East. My father recently passed away,
and it is necessary for my elderly mother, Rita McDowell, to sell her home.
We want to move her next to us so we are better able to care for her. This
would help us through the transition period of obtaining a new home for her
and then preparing her present home for sale.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dan McDowell
Bonnie Buls
