PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS:
Moose's — Sorensen and Haskins will meet after this meeting to discuss the bond for Moose's.
OLD BUSINESS:
Northwest Drywall — 1109 E Oregon St; new warehouse in the Rail Park at the south end.
Preliminary plans of an updated design were shown. The two properties are now under one
ownership and will become one property as part of the Final Plat. With moving the building over,
they will have a 20 foot lane off on the side by shifting it to the south, which should be sufficient for
fire trucks. There will also be a 26 foot driving lane there now with a 3 foot sidewalk on the east
side of the building. They plan on putting in a version of the Gabion wall on the north side.
Rohweder explained the location, and noted the fence to the west side of the Gabion wall. They have
all the same parking spaces. P. Jentz has gone through comments with them on some of the storm
drainage. They will have a gravity main to a point and then a small lift station that will be
pressurized out to the connection point. They also have a small storm pond. They will have 50 feet
from the foundation. Haskins noted it is also supposed to be 20 feet off of a property line. That
could be handled by a deviation because of what the property line is. The asphalt trail is for their
loader to load and unload sheetrock from either side of the building. This will be on the agenda for
next week.
Maw — 25 Appleway on the south side; apartments. Two 4-plexes. Public Works sent comments
out last week but nothing new has been received yet. This will be on the agenda for next week.
World Gym — 555 East Swift Creek Way (no longer Diamond Peak); new athletic club. They will
need to put landscaping in, and they are trying to figure out who is going to do it. Haskins stated
1
there is no pedestrian path on the north side of the road. We are still waiting on the Plat
Amendment. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Sunrift Brewery — 55 — 1" Ave WN; Phase 2 — convert existing building to a restaurant. Nothing
new has been submitted. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS: None.

Kalispell MDT for work on the bypass from Foys Lake with four lanes to the roundabout at Airport
Road. It will be grade separated. MDT had asked the City of Kalispell to complete the grant
application. They plan to begin this project in the spring. He stated there are only 30 or 40 of these
grants given in the nation given out per year.
