Business District.
Parcel 1: 7,000 square feet located at the highly visible northeast
corner of the intersection of U.S. 93 South - Main Street and First
Street East. The parcel has 50' of Main Street frontage and 140'
of frontage on First Street East.
Parcel 2: 42,000 square feet with 300' of frontage on First

Parcel 3: 14,081.66 square feet located at the southwest comer
of the intersection of First Avenue East and First Street East.
There is 100.5833' of frontage on First Avenue East, its easterly
boundary; and 140' of frontage on First Street East its northerly
boundary.
Neighborhood: The Kalispell, Montana - Central Business District (CBD), Core
Area, and adjacent residential areas are all part of the City's
Downtown Redevelopment Plan area, generally bounded on the
south by 12th Street and on the north by Idaho Street (U.S.
Highway 2), 7th Avenue W. on the west and 3rd Avenue E. on
the east. (See Downtown Redevelopment Plan - Part One,
Adopted by the City of Kalispell Ordinance No. 933 for exact
description.)
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING December 21, 1993

The Downtown Redevelopment Plan area has seen the investment
of over $8.8 million public dollars, plus $43.3 million private
dollars since its beginning in 1979.
Kalispell's Main Street - U.S. Highway 93 South - bisects the
Downtown Redevelopment Plan area and forms an intersection
with Idaho Street - U.S. Highway 2 East and West - at the area's
northerly edge.
This central business district neighborhood is home for most of
Kalispell's major financial institutions, most within walking
distance of the subject, and the majority of trade area retailers.
The Kalispell Center Mall (171,000 square feet) - Cavanaugh's
Inn at the Center Mall (134 rooms plus convention facility) is
located only a block northwest of the subject. And just across
Main Street is the fully restored historic Kalispell Grand Hotel,
a bed and breakfast facility, all within walking distance of 14 of
Kalispell's finest restaurants.
The 11 acre Kalispell Market Place project - Tidyman's, Pizza
Hut, plus other businesses yet to be announced - is just north of
the subject. This is the newest addition to Kalispell's retail core.
Thus, the neighborhood contains the largest concentration of
goods and services providers in the five county trade area.
(Flathead, Lincoln, Sanders, Lake, and Glacier counties, total
1990 population - 118,530'.)
The neighborhood is also headquarters for local government.
Kalispell's City Hall, Flathead County Court House/Justice
Center, School District # 5 Headquarters Office, Flathead County
Library, and the Hockaday Center for the Arts, are located
Downtown along with a myriad of state and federal government
agencies and service providers.
The CBD and surrounding residential neighborhoods contain the
Flathead Valley's largest concentration of both single and multi-
family dwelling units. The KDC Site is within easy walking
distance of a substantial population base.

Parking: The City of Kalispell has recently amended CITY OF
KALISPELL Zoning Ordinance - No. 1175 off-street parking
requirements (Chapter 27.26) adopting a standard requirement of
1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area. The amendment
is applied to all uses in the City's newly -formed Parking District.
The district is bounded on the north by Center Street, the south
by 5th Street, the west by 3rd Avenue West, and on the east by
3rd Avenue East. A map of the affected area and additional
information is available through the PECDD office.
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING December 21, 1993
The Parking District and all on -street and publicly owned or
leased off-street parking will be managed and under the
jurisdiction of the newly -formed Kalispell Parking Commission.
Its management will work closely with property owners and
interested redevelopers to explore the ways and means of
implementing a Parking Special Improvement District to provide
for and finance adequate and convenient public parking for the
core area. A more complete discussion of this program is
contained on page 12 of this Offering Document.
A PRELIMINARY DRAFT - KALISPELL CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT PARKING DEVELOPMENT PLAN
is available from the Planning, Economic and Community
Development Department. It outlines some of the options
currently being considered and efforts to implement a Public
Parking Special Improvement District.
The parking requirements for the proposed development are as set
forth in Chapter 27.26 OFF-STREET PARKING of Zoning
Ordinance 1175. A copy of Sections 27.26.010 through
27.26.040 (pp. 103 through 114 of Zoning Ordinance 1175) are
attached as EXHIBIT D.
Tax Information and Assessment
The real estate has been "tax exempt" because its current and former owners are both public
entities exempt from taxation. Now, it is the City's goal to encourage the private development
of the site to its highest and best use, thereby generating substantial ad valorem taxes for the
tax increment district and eventually all taxing jurisdictions.
In Montana and in Kalispell, both real and personal property are subject to property (ad
valorem) taxation, except as provided otherwise. It is anticipated that the subject real estate
and improvements will be classified and taxed as:
(15-6-134, MCA, 1989) "(1) Class four property which includes: (a) all land except
that specifically included in another class;
(b) all improvements except those specifically included in another class.
(2) Class four property is taxed as follows:
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING December 21, 1993
E
(a) Except as provided in 15-24-1402 or 15-24-1501 (MCA, 1989), property described
in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) is taxed at 3.86% of its market value"... (emphasis
added)
(3) After July 1, 1986, no adjustment may be made by the department to the taxable
percentage rate for class four property until a revaluation has been made as provided
in 15-7-111 ...."
Tax liability for business property is determined in the following way:
Market Value X Classification Rate = Taxable Value.
Taxable Value X Mill Levy = Property Tax Liability
The mill levy is an aggregate of state and local mill levies imposed annually for the purpose
of funding city and county governments, schools, and the university system.
The Property Assessment Division of the Montana Department of Revenue is responsible for
ensuring that all property in the State is treated equitably. County appraisers (as employees
of) and assessors (as agents of) the Montana Department of Revenue, are responsible for
valuing property.
Market Value is based on 1) replacement value, 2) depreciation factors, and 3) selling prices
in Kalispell. Thus, to determine the value of commercial property, the appraiser uses two
methods of appraisal: the market approach and the cost approach.
The market approach compares fair market sales of similar properties (land & improvements)
when sold on the open market.
The cost approach estimates the cost of material and labor to replace the improvements, less
depreciation, if any, for physical deterioration, age, and functional or economic obsolescence.
The Revenue Department has been encouraged by courts, legislators, and property owners to
consider income producing capacity when determining the market value of commercial real
estate. The state has reappraised commercial properties for 1993 and is currently utilizing data
on the income capacity of commercial buildings. It intends to utilize this data for future
property reappraisals to aid in determining a commercial property's income approach to market
value.
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING January 20, 1994

City/County/School Mill Levies: The county taxable value is utilized to determine the mill
levy level necessary to meet operating budgets for City, county and public school operations.
Once the mill levies are established, the county assessor computes the property taxes, and the
county treasurer becomes responsible for billing and collecting property taxes.
One mill is 1/10th of a cent —computed as $1 tax on every $1,000 of taxable value. The rate
is determined by comparing the local budget requirement against the taxable value for a
particular taxing district.
For example, if a school district needs $4 million from property taxes for its budget (and if the
total taxable value in the county is $10 million), the mill levy would be determined as follows:
$ 4,000,000 (money needed)
$10,000,000 (taxable value) x 1,000 = 400 midis
(Mills most often appear as a decimal. Thus, 400 mills would be expressed as .400)
For Class 4 property located within the City of Kalispell, the 1993 Combined Mill Levy for
all taxing jurisdictions is: 451.148
To estimate the ad valorem tax for a commercial building and land located within the City of
Kalispell use the following example:
Market Value Land
Market Value Building
TOTAL MARKET VALUE
Class Four classification X
TAXABLE VALUE
Combined Mill Levy 1993 X
Ad Valorem TAX DUE 1993
$10,000 (market approach)
90 000 (cost approach)
100 000
.0386
3 860
.451148
1 741.43
For example, a new development with a Total Market Value of $3 million, would pay
$52,242.91 in Total Ad Valorem Tax. Computed as follows:
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING January 20, 1994
TOTAL MARKET VALUE $3,000,000
Classification Rate X .0386

X .451148
Parking Program and Financing Considerations
$52,242.94
11
The initiative to create and fund a Parking Commission and/or parking special improvement
district (SID) has come from the private sector. In Kalispell, the City has encouraged the
initiative by creating the Kalispell Parking Commission and agreeing to utilize tax increment
monies to provide "gap" financing to help fund start-up and administrative costs during its first
year of operation. In addition to administration of the downtown parking, the City will turn
over its land and improved parking lots and all revenues generated by parking to the Parking
Commission. During the next year the City will encourage the Parking Commission to develop
a plan and capital budget to provide additional public parking. The City has the authority to
issue tax exempt bonds to help finance the parking program.
Based on recommendations of the Parking Commission the City could consider creation of a
Parking Special Improvement District as a method of generating the revenues necessary to pay
for public parking. Any action by the City Council would require a public hearing which must
be held to establish the boundaries and the formula for assessment.
The formula for assessment would be based on five (5) factors, each mathematically weighted
to determine the total assessment on each privately held parcel of land within the boundaries
of the parking SID.
The factors are: 1) land area - measured as the total square footage of the parcel; 2) demand
- the total parking demand based on the use of improved square footage for each parcel as
established by Zoning Ordinance 1175; 3) credit for the number of permanent parking stalls
provided within the district; 4) proximity - the distance of each parcel measured from the
centroid of the parking provided; and, 5) assessed valuation - the assessed valuation of each
parcel for ad valorem tax purposes.
During this transition period, interested developers should consult with the Planning, Economic
& Community Development Department staff to determine parking requirements and/or the
probable cost of participating in the public parking special improvement district.
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING January 19, 1994
12
Business Improvement District:
In addition to the parking program, the downtown business community and property owners
are currently considering the possible implementation of a Business Improvement District
(BID). The BID enabling legislation authorizes the City Council to appoint a board of trustees
to administer the BID. The board has all powers (7-12-1131 MCA) necessary to carry out the
functions of the district contained in the ordinance creating it, including the power to:
(1) sue and be sued, enter into contracts, and hire and terminate personnel needed
for its purposes;
(2) provide special police, maintenance, or cleaning personnel for the protection and
enjoyment of the general public using the business district;
(3) landscape and beautify public areas and to maintain those areas;
(4) contract with the governing body to maintain, operate, or repair public parking
facilities;
(5) contract with the governing body to maintain street, alley, malls, bridges, ramps
tunnels, landscaping, and other public facilities and mutually agreed upon;
(6) promote private investment and business expansion in the district;
(7) provide for the management and administration of the affairs of the district;
(8) promote business activity by advertising, decorating, marketing, and promoting
and managing events and other actions designed for the general promotion of
business activities in the district; and
(9) perform such other functions as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this
part and to further the objectives of the district.
The estimated cost of participating in the BID, if it is formed, will be determined in the
spring/summer of 1994.
Density & Height Considerations:
The Kalispell City Council encourages redevelopment proposals that will take maximum
advantage of the Parcel(s) potential for urban density and mixed -use development. It wants
to encourage a construction of multi -story building(s) and maximum floor area ratios (FAR's)
and even consideration of the provision of public/private structured parking utilizing First
Street East or Parcel 3. The City has the ability to help finance the public portion of any
public/private parking structure through the contribution of tax increment financing and sale
of tax exempt bonds for public improvements.
The subject real estate has been available for redevelopment since 1992. During the past year,
the City has elected not to encourage redevelopment proposals or offers to purchase from
developers desiring to purchase only Parcels 1 or 2 or portions of Parcel 2 or to construct only
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING January 19, 1994
13
one or several single -story low density buildings. While the City does not have a minimum
building height, FAR or density requirement, the Kalispell City Council has advised developers
that 10,000 square feet of building floor area did not meet its expectations for redevelopment.
Prior to the initial offering in March 1992, the City amended its zoning ordinance to increase
the maximum building height permitted from 30' to 72' in order to encourage developer
consideration of maximum rather than minimum density redevelopment. Another reason for
the amendment was to remove restrictive building height limitations which would not permit
redeveloper consideration of a mixed -use project combining retail, professional, and/or
residential/hotel use of the site. Also, the City has advised interested developers and adjacent
property owners it would entertain consideration of acquiring additional land and improvements
on Block 36 (Parcels 1 & 2) if a developer would consider redevelopment of the entire block
or additional parcels were required to facilitate the highest and best use of the land and to
encourage maximum rather than minimum floor area ratios. The City also wants to encourage
excellence in building design and location.
Additionally, persons considering redevelopment proposals should review and incorporate
major goals and specific objectives and mission statments recently developed to help guide the
City's redevelopment efforts. They are the product of the Kalispell Development
Corporation (KDC), the Kalispell City Council's official advisory board. These Theme &
Density recommendations, are currently being incorporated into a Urban Land Planning Study
for the subject property and adjacent neighborhood. All of this information may be obtained
by contacting the PECDD office.
The Kalispell City Council and KDC, understands redevelopment incentives, the land write-
down process, return on investment and the current difficulty developers may have in obtaining
financing for significant commercial projects. Therefore, the City will carefully and promptly
evaluate all reasonable developer requests for City participation, to the extent permitted by the
Montana Urban Renewal Law, for street closure abandonment or vacation (First Street East),
financial participation in a public/private parking structure, additional land assemblage and/or
improvement demolition and the provision of off -site public improvements necessary to
facilitate the project.
Suggested Sales Price:
The City of Kalispell has determined through the review of several real estate appraisals and
multiple market comparable, that the real estate offered has a range of value of
$6.65 -- $10.00 per square foot
CITY OF KALISPELL REAL ESTATE OFFERING December 21, 1993
14
Based on the total 63,081.66 square feet offered for purchase and redevelopment, this
represents a suggested price range of.
$419,493 -- $630,816
The City may consider the "land residual technique" in determining the fair value of the
land. Among other things, the City will evaluate the total redevelopment project cost of each
proposal submitted by private parties desiring to redevelop the site(s).
The seller, The City of Kalispell, is interested in receiving offers for ALL CASH ON
CLOSING.
The City shall base its final determination of the fair value for the land based on the following
criteria.
Minimum Requirements of OFFERS TO PURCHASE:

property. The resolution when passed by the City Council takes effect immediately.
Developers desiring to avail themselves of City participation in a proposed development should
be aware that additional public hearings and action by the Council may be required after the
initial purchase. Developer proposals involving sale of bonds (IDB's or Tax Increment) to
finance a portion of the project or acquisition of additional land, or the entering into a
Participation Agreement, under Section 7-15-4258, MCA, may require an amendment to the
urban renewal plan.
An urban renewal project involving an amendment to the plan requires, under Section 7-15-
4213, MCA, that the City submit, by resolution, a proposed urban renewal project plan to the
City -County Planning Board for their review. The City -County Planning Board has 60 days
in which to receive comment on the proposed plan and make a recommendation to the City.
Once a recommendation is received, or after 60 days if no action has been taken, the City
schedules a public hearing on the plan after public notice. The City notices the resolution by
publication in the Daily Inter Lake and by mailing of notice to all property owners in the
downtown Redevelopment Area. Publication and mailing must be accomplished in a window
between not less than ten nor more than thirty days prior to the hearing.
After the public hearing, the City Council shall be presented with an ordinance amending the
urban renewal plan to accommodate the project and its particulars. Under normal procedure
the Council has two readings of the ordinance, at least 12 days apart, and the ordinance
becomes effective thirty days after its final passage.
This synopsis of the requirements of the Urban Renewal Law requirements is not intended to
be an in depth analysis of the procedures, but an outline of the basic requirements. Any
developer desiring to present a proposal should retain legal counsel to evaluate the developer's
position in the process.

TO: Larry Gallegher, City Realtor
FROM: Scott R. Covington, Construction Inspector .�9*
Re: Old Flathead Community College
During demolition of the above referenced structures it became
apparent that portions of the foundation walls would have to
remain in place, to remove them would have undermined the
adjacent sidewalk, street and/or, alley as the foundation walls
were abutting these structures. Remaining walls will be
encountered 6" below finished pit -run grade and are as follows:
1) Glacier Hall: East & North Wall
2) Blake Hall: West, North & South Wall
3) Heritage Hall: East, West & South Wall
4) Melton Hall: West Wall
All foundation floors and intermediate foundation walls were
removed per specifications.
During demolition of Melton Hall an underground heating fuel oil
storage tank was encountered on the westerly boundary of the
structure adjacent ;:o 1st alley east. Appropriate State and
County Health and Water Bureau agencies were notified prior to
the storage tank and all contaminated soils being removed from
the site. All related documents have been submitted to the State
Water Quality Bureau under the supervision of Joe Russell,
Flathead County Health Department Official. No further
underground storage tanks were encountered.
All City underground utility service lines have been removed from
the site. An e" water main runs north and south along the north
bound lane of Main and 1st ave. east and a 10" sewer main runs
north and south along 1st alley east.
My observations with respect to this project are that the
contractor used professional techniques and practices to
accomplish all phases of the work assigned to him. I was
satisfied that the removal of the structures and subsequent
compactive effort of the back fill material ( -6" pit -run, class
A-1-A(0) ) were well within contract specifications.
