Kalispell Development Corporation

Dear Larry:
As you know, Bee Broadcasting Company and the Bee radio
stations (KBBZ-FM, KJJR-AM, KDBR-FM) have an interest in
relocating to Kalispell.
The reason for this letter is to reconfirm to you and the
Kalispell Development Corporation our firm commitment to
undertake this relocation in the near future.
Bee Broadcasting and the Bee Station Group represent a
high profile business with a local payroll in excess of one
million dollars annually. We are certain that a relocation
of our company to downtown Kalispell would have a dramatic
and a positive economic impact on the community.
As you are also aware, we would plan on constructing a
modern, two to four story office building. Each floor would
consist of approximately 4,000 square feet. The upper level
would be used by our operations with the lower level(s)
available for tenants. The actual number of floors would be
dependent upon tenant demand for quality office space.
In this regard, we are willing to make a firm offer to the
City of Kalispell for the northern .portion of the city owned
land in downtown Kalispell which is known as Parcel Number
Two. Our offer is for 23,000 square feet (approximate) of
the parcel's 46,000 square feet at a rate of $7.00 per
square foot, or a total offer of $161,000.
This offer is being made on several contingencies. One is
that our potential use for the land would be approved by all
zoning, planning and city -county building code requirements.

The second would be final financial approval by our lending
institutions. The third would be full approval of the
project by the KDC and City of Kalispell governmental
officials. And, a fourth would be some concessions to Bee
Broadcasting on parking requirements in the downtown
Kalispell sector.
The offer we are making by way of this letter is a sincere
one. We realize that it may only be -the start of many steps
that we will have to take together to bring the project from
concept to reality. This offer will remain open for the
thirty days from the date shown on this letterhead. Please
respond to its contents at your earliest opportunity.
Best -Regards,
Mike Stocklin,
Consultant
