PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT- KALISPELL DOWNTOWN CENTER
Haarr moved approval of the Purchase and Development Agreement
between the City of Kalispell and Depot Park Partners as presented.
The motion was seconded by Scarff.
There was discussion.
Donahue said for the record, the bid for the KDC site was submitted
by Meridian Industrial Park Partners and now the City is dealing
with Depot Park Partners. He asked for a clarification on the
difference.
Ken Yachechak explained Depot Park Partners is a partnership within
a partnership, and the reason for the name change is to set up a new
tax structure.
Boharski asked if there would be any legal problems with a different
name on the Agreement.
Neier answered he and Assistant City Attorney Richard Hickel
researched the question and they don't believe there will be any
problem.
Atkinson commented that the Agreement states if the development is
not completed within five years "the Partners shall sell to the
City, and the City shall repurchase from Partners those parcels." He
asked if provisions are made for the money to be available if the
development doesn't transpire.
Neier answered "No, you're obligating a future Council."
Nystul questioned a provision in the Agreement which says 1st Street
East will remain as a one way street. He said if traffic patterns
change in the future, what will that do to the agreement.
Neier said in the future, if both parties agree that 1st Street East
should be changed to two way traffic, there's nothing preventing
that.
Van Natta asked why the alley texturing wasn't included in the
Agreement.
Neier answered the mechanics have not been worked out yet and a
change order will probably be forthcoming in the future.
Larson said he didn't see any provisions for alley lighting.
Neier said the lighting will also be handled in a change order.
Yachechak commented that assuming the Agreement is passed and
signed, June 26th is the date set to break ground.
The motion carried unanimously upon vote.
Donahue asked whether the easement questions concerning Ron
Trippet's property have been answered yet.
Neier answered that the City and Mr. Trippet are still negotiating.
Atkinson moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded by Van Natta.
The motion carried unanimously upon vote.
