2011 CONSTRUCTION, LAND SUBDIVISION
AND ANNEXATION REPORT – DRAFT
CITY OF KALISPELL
The first section of this report provides information on new housing construction, major commercial
construction and divisions of land and annexations for the City of Kalispell, in Flathead County,
Montana. A later section of the report provides an overview of how Flathead County is growing in
comparison to other counties in Montana. Information on Flathead area housing prices and sales are
also provided in the next section. Information for years prior to the period covered in this report is
available upon request.
Construction activity data is collected from building permits issued by the City of Kalispell Building
Department. Residential construction types are referred to as single family residence (SFR), duplex
(DUP), townhouse (TH), multi-family unit (MFU), and manufactured home/mobile home (MH). For
the purpose of this report, townhouse numbers are combined with the duplex category. The MH
category includes all classes of manufactured homes including double wide and modular homes.
Townhouses have become more common in recent years, but are not reflected in a separate category
until 2003. Townhouses were counted in the SFR or DUP category previously to 2003. Numbers
recorded for multifamily units, townhouses and duplexes represent the actual number of living units
created within the housing projects. Senior apartment complexes and assisted living units are included
in the multifamily category and numbers also represent the actual number of units within the project.
This report also includes a summary of major commercial construction projects for which building
permits were issued since 2006.
CITY OF KALISPELL
Population
2010 Decennial Census released population data for cities, towns and places during the spring of 2011.
Of the 10 most populated cities in Montana, Kalispell had the highest growth rate since the 2000
Census. The City of Kalispell had a population of 19,927 on Census Day, April 1, 2010. This
represents a 40.1 percent increase since the 2000 Census and about a 4 percent average annual
population growth. Kalispell remains the 7th largest city in the state. (Figure 1, Figure 2)
Local planning officials expect that the population of the area will continue to increase in the long
term, but it is not likely to see the same rate of growth experienced during the past decade. The national
economic and housing situation continues to affect the Flathead Valley as well as other parts of
Western Montana that had rapid growth during the last decade. Loss of jobs and/or lack of job
opportunities that are related to the decline in housing construction may be causing some residents to
leave the area in search of employment, and in the short term, the next three to four years, will actually
contribute to a stable or slightly declining population.

Kalispell Building Permit Summary
The City of Kalispell issues permits for all construction projects in the city. (Figure 3) The total
number of building permits issued continued to decline in 2011. The City of Kalispell Building
Department issued 195 building permits as compared to 228 in 2010. This represents a 14 percent
decrease from the previous year. The total number of permits includes all types of construction
including new, remodels, additions, or any other activity requiring a permit.

New Residential Housing Construction
There has been a declining number of new housing starts in Kalispell each year since 2004, in which a
record number of new homes were constructed. While there is still demand for new housing, locally,
there still appears to be a surplus of unoccupied new homes for sale, probably a result of the
nationwide economic situation, as well as several years of speculation in the local housing market.
Once again, the number of new housing unit starts dropped during 2011. There were 72 new housing
unit starts in Kalispell, a 21.7 percent decrease from 2010. Single family home construction was down
16 percent and construction of new townhouses and duplex units was also down 30.8 percent. The
number of new multi-family unit starts were down by 27.6 percent. (Figure 4, 5 and 6) (Tables 1 and 3)
5
The number of new housing unit starts is still significantly below the previous 5 year annual average,
as well as the previous 10 year annual average. (Table 2)
As can be expected, most new housing starts occur in the newest subdivisions. However, build out has
slowed considerably in both the incorporated and rural areas of Flathead County.
The majority of new housing starts continue to be that of single family homes. Since about 2000 there
has been increased demand for townhouse, duplex and multi-family housing, which tend to be more
affordable than single family housing. Because multi-family projects are usually constructed over a
longer period of time, it is more feasible to look at annual averages for this type of housing over a five
year period.
During 2011, the Immanuel Lutheran Home began construction of a 13 unit assisted living addition to
the Buffalo Hills Terrace facility. The old Sykes grocery and restaurant underwent a major remodel of
the grocery and restaurant and 8 new apartments are under construction which are counted in this years
report as multifamily units.
During 2011, six federally subsidized Self Help homes were started in Spring Creek Estates on Three
Mile Drive. The program is administered by Community Action Partnership (CAP) and allows
qualified families to earn down payments, closing costs and equity by investing sweat equity in
building their own home and other self-help housing.
Maps showing locations of new residential construction are provided in the appendix of this document.

Non-Residential Construction 2011
Prior to 2006, this report did not include information regarding non-residential construction.
Commercial and other non-residential activity began rapidly increasing during the last decade,
especially along Highway 93 North. Commercial and other non-residential activity directly influences
residential construction and population growth. This report attempts to address the most significant
non-residential projects of the past few years, as well as projects that are underway.
Kalispell Regional Medical Center (KRMC) began demolition in preparation for a major remodel and
addition in 2010. The expansion of the facilities began in early 2011 and continued throughout the
year. The project will allow for the complete replacement of KRMC's surgical services space,
including eight completed operating rooms, four shelled operating rooms for the future, 18 same-day
surgery beds, 18 post-anesthesia-care beds, two endoscopy and two fluoroscopy procedure rooms and
other spaces that will be needed for Surgical Services. The initial phase includes 12,900 square feet of
remodel work including excavation, preparation, and installation of footings and structural steel
designed to support up to five levels of new construction. Phase 2 includes exterior construction
activities in preparation for the construction of approximately 10,000 square feet of basement space.
This project is expected to continue through 2013. When completed, the project will add 125,045
square feet of space to the facility.
During 2011, the Immanuel Lutheran Home added a 5,016 square foot addition to the skilled nursing
facility, and an 18,120 square foot addition to the Buffalo Hills Terrace Assisted Living facility.
In late 2011, a major renovation of the interior and exterior of the Flathead County Courthouse was
completed. Another Flathead County office building, the “Blue Building” also underwent a major
renovation of the interior and exterior which began in 2010 and was completed in 2011. The project
added 1,040 square feet of space to house an elevator and a foyer. The remodeled building is now
called “Courthouse West”.
Syke’s began demolition of the old grocery store and restaurant in 2010, and in 2011 added over
13,000 square feet of commercial space. The grocery store and restaurant was expanded and 2
additional levels added apartment space. A new Applebee’s Restaurant began construction and was
completed in late fall of 2011. The new Applebee’s Restaurant is located on Highway 93 North in
Phase 2 of Spring Prairie Center.
During 2011 construction began on a new AutoZone store on West Idaho Street. The old King’s
Buffett restaurant was demolished to make way for the new 7,381 square foot auto parts store. The
Salvation Army constructed a 4,878 square foot storage addition and new restrooms. An interior
remodel of Smiths Grocery and Pharmacy was completed, which added a drive-through pharmacy.

Non-Residential Construction, Prior Years
The construction of Home Depot in 2004 represented the beginning of the major commercial
development along Highway 93 North. A variety of businesses including Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond,
Best Buy, TJ Maxx, Ross, Pier One Imports, Petco, IHOP, and multiple other retail stores, offices, and
eateries have become established in Mountain View Plaza development since 2004.
The development of Spring Prairie Center followed which is located on the west side of Highway 93
North across from Mountain View Plaza. Lowe’s and Costco came to Spring Prairie in 2005. In 2006,
a Holiday Inn Express was built near the planned Highway 93 Alternate Route. A new Wells Fargo
Bank and a Starbucks were established on smaller commercial lots along Highway 93. The new Glacier
High School was completed in 2007, on West Reserve Drive and Stillwater Road. Also, during 2007, a
Famous Dave’s restaurant and McDonalds were constructed on the commercial lots along Highway 93.
An Urgent Health Care Clinic was constructed in 2008.
Eisinger Honda and Eisinger Chevrolet constructed about 65,000 square feet of new office and retail
space on 15+ acres on the northeast corner of Highway 93 North and West Reserve Drive, to
accommodate relocation of their Honda and Chevrolet dealership in 2007.
Hutton Ranch Plaza, located just south of Mountain View Plaza began development in 2006,
constructing several structures for future businesses. Several businesses opened in Hutton Ranch Plaza
in 2007, including a new Sportsman Ski House, a 14 screen theatre, banks, and a variety of restaurants
and offices. In 2008, a new Sizzler Steakhouse was completed in the Hutton Ranch Plaza.
Flathead Valley Community College added a Child Development Center, an Occupational Trades
building and an Arts and Technology building totaling over 89,000 square feet in 2008. Expansion of
health care facilities has slowed, but continues in the Kalispell Regional Medical Center area. During
2007, the Cancer Treatment Facility added 7,165 square feet and the hospital added 5,760 square feet.
In 2008, a 15,252 square foot, two story shell was constructed in the hospital area, to accommodate
additional professional offices.
During 2010, the Kalispell Fire Department added a second floor with 5,791 square feet of living and
office space, a project valued at about $1.1 million dollars. The Social Security offices located in
Ashley Square, west of Kalispell underwent a major interior and exterior remodel adding additional
offices and restrooms. This project was also valued at about $1.1 million dollars. Other projects of
2010 included the commencement of a major remodel and a 2,099 square foot addition to the Syke’s
grocery store and restaurant on Second Avenue West. There was also a new 7,058 square foot
office/retail building shell constructed in Hutton Ranch Plaza, and a 6,912 square foot office building
on Village Loop, off of Whitefish Stage Road. A 1,560 square foot engineered structure was placed on
West Center Street and is currently used for retail sales.
Several projects that began in 2009 were also completed during 2010, including the new Walmart
Supercenter and the Montana Club restaurant. Construction of the new Federal Express warehouse was
completed in 2010, located in the Old School Station subdivision. Since all of these projects began
construction in 2009, the values and square footages were accounted for in the 2009 report numbers.
10
Although it is not associated with the Kalispell Building Permit system, another significant
construction project completed in 2010 was the south portion of the Highway 93 Alternate Route
between Highway 93 South and U. S. Highway 2 West.
The new Department of Natural Resources and Conservation offices and fire cache located south of
West Reserve Drive on Stillwater Road were completed in 2009. The new Flathead County 911 Call
Center also began construction near the same location. Another significant project of 2009 was the
complete remodel of the vacant Tidyman’s store on 1st Avenue East, which is now a Super One grocery
store. In addition, a Five Guys restaurant opened in the Hutton Ranch Plaza in an existing structure.
Some projects of 2008 included adding a 14,050 square foot third story to the Earl Bennett Building,
accommodating the expanded Flathead City-County Health Department and other county services. The
Veteran’s Administration added an 8,976 square foot office building near their new clinic on Three
Mile Drive, and a 3,400 square foot Chiropractic Office was constructed on North Meridian Road. A
downtown health fitness center added 2,483 square feet to its existing area. Eastside Brick, a
condominium, apartment, office development, constructed a 2,743 square foot shell that is now a
coffee house/restaurant. A clubhouse was constructed at Silverbrook Estates, off of Church Drive at the
very north edge of the city.
The Hilton Garden Inn South was completed in 2007, in the old National Guard Armory location north
of Rosauers on Highway 93 South. The armory was relocated north of Kalispell on the east side of
Highway 93. Since 2005, in the Daley Field subdivision south of Rosauers, a McKenzie River Pizza, a
liquor store, a new office building, an one retail building have been constructed.
A list of major new commercial/retail/office; public structures; and significant additions during 2011
and the previous five years is provided in Table 4.

CITY OF KALISPELL LAND SUBDIVISION – FINAL PLATS
The decline in new housing construction and existing home sales is now in its third year and has
affected many areas of the West that had been experiencing a housing and economic boom. The
speculative market of the past few years created a significant inventory of lots and parcels in Flathead
County, many of which remain vacant and offered for sale. The slowing of subdivision activity since
2006 is a reaction to the overall market and economic conditions.
As a result of continued market conditions, there were only 7 new lots created in Kalispell during 2011.
The Resub of Lot 1 of Minor Sub 117 created a seven (7) lot single family residential subdivision on
Sunnyside Drive and Denver Avenue. The last two years represent the lowest numbers of new lots
created since the City began closely tracking subdivision activity in 1973.

During 2009, Phase 1A of Silverbrook Estates was platted with 178 single family home lots on about
82 acres. Phase 3 of Westview Estates, located north of West Reserve Drive was also approved for 30
single family lots on about 12 acres. Ashley Heights, a 26 single family lot subdivision, located on the
south side of Sunnyside Drive, was also approved in late December of 2009.
During 2008, Phase 1B of Phase 1 of Silverbrook Estates was approved for 107 single family lots on
about 73 acres. The final plat of Phase 3 of Mountain Vista Estates on Three Mile Drive was also
approved in 2008, with 25 single family lots, 14 townhouse lots and 1 lot for a future Fire Station.
Phase 2 of Aspen Creek, also on Three Mile Dr, was approved for 30 single family and 10 townhouse
lots. Three Mile Views was approved for 14 townhouse lots and 2 lots intended for multi-family
structures. Spring Prairie Mixed Professional One was approved for 1 lot, on which the Forest Service
Supervisor’s and the Tally Lake Ranger District offices are now located. Adjacent to the new Forest
Service offices, Lot 1 of Phase 1A of Timberwolf Center was approved and is now the new location of
the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) offices. Phase 2 of Hutton Ranch
Plaza was originally planned for 9 commercial lots, but was changed to 1 lot to accommodate the new
WalMart Supercenter. Construction began during the fall of 2009 and the new WalMart store opened
in the June of 2010.
The largest subdivision approved in 2007 was Phase 1 of Spring Creek Estates with 174 single family
lots on 51 acres located on the south side of Three Mile Drive. Phase 2 of Mountain Vista Estates was
approved for 47 single family and 20 townhouse lots. Phase 3 of Northland Subdivision was approved
for 25 single family lots.

(includes only residential lots)

Prior to 2006, the average lot size was calculated by dividing the total area of a subdivision by the
number of lots. Average lot size previously included open space and roads. The City now more actively
encourages and requires open space in new subdivisions, especially those with high density lot
configurations or those that encompass sensitive areas, such as wetlands or floodplain. Therefore, we
have added open space and roads into the tables since 2006, to more accurately depict actual average
lot sizes. (Tables 7, 8 and 9)

Vacant Lot Inventory
Beginning with the 2009 report, we began an inventory of the approximate number of vacant lots in
subdivisions that have been approved in the City of Kalispell since 2004. At the end of 2011, there
were approximately 856 vacant residential lots and 34 non-residential lots in these subdivisions. All of
these lots have city services available and are ready for construction. It is important to remember that
these numbers include vacant lots in subdivisions approved since 2004 only, and that this is not a
complete list of vacant lots and parcels in the city. An existing landuse inventory updated at the end of
2011, shows that approximately 37 percent of the land in the City of Kalispell is vacant. Vacant lands
do not include parks, or other openspace or vacant school lands. This is a result of the large
annexations that were planned for future development, which have not occurred. A list of subdivisions
approved since 2004 and the approximate number of vacant lots within each subdivision as of
December 31, 2011 is provided in Tables 11 and 12.
When looking at these numbers, two points should be made. Between 2004 and 2008, the height of the
housing and real estate market, an average of about 250 lots a year were being sold and constructed on.
At this rate, the current number of vacant lots would equate to about a 3 ½ year supply in the City of
Kalispell. However, in today’s market the demand is more likely to be 50 to 100 lots per year. During
the peak of the housing and real estate boom there were not enough lots on the market to keep up with
the demand, which drove prices up at record rates. In the current market there are several years supply
and not so much demand. Correspondingly, lot prices have dropped and market conditions have left a
greater supply of vacant lots in the city.
Secondly, approximately 256 of these lots are in Silverbrook Estates, along Church Drive at the north
end of the city. The Silverbrook development was originally intended to accommodate higher end
homes. Sales of lots in higher end subdivisions are slow in the current market. If vacant lots in
Silverbrook Estates were not counted, there would be approximately a 2 ½ year supply of vacant lots in
a fast paced market, a 6 year supply in the current market and up to a 12 year supply in a very slow
market. During 2011, there were 8 new housing starts in the Silverbrook Estate development. During
the two previous years, construction of 24 single family homes were completed. The homes built
during the last three years are intended to be moderately priced to accommodate the current market.

CITY OF KALISPELL LAND SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY PLATS & FINAL PLATS
PENDING APPROVAL
These are proposed subdivisions that the preliminary plats have been approved or that a final plat
application has been submitted but has not been approved yet. When a preliminary plat application is
approved, the applicant has 3 years to submit the final plat for approval. A final plat may differ from
the preliminary plat, in design and lot configuration, and may have more or less lots than originally
proposed.
During 2008 the nationwide housing and economic downturn hit the Flathead Valley. The demand for
new housing locally has continued to decline through 2011. Housing inventory remains high with a
smaller number of buyers. Due to economic and housing market conditions, there were no new
preliminary plat applications submitted for the City of Kalispell during 2011. Many already approved
preliminary development plans were put on hold, and several were allowed to expire. There have been
multiple requests for preliminary plat extensions allowing developers additional time to submit final
plans before the preliminary plat approval expires.
During 2010, a modified preliminary plat application was approved for the Willow Creek project
located on the north side of Foy’s Lake Road and adjacent to the Highway 93 Alternate route. The
subdivision is planned for 397 single family and 74 townhouse lots. The preliminary plat for Willow
Creek will expire in 2013.
The preliminary plat for Phase 3 of Spring Prairie Center was allowed to expire in the fall of 2009. In
December of 2010, the developer submitted a new preliminary plat for 10 commercial lots
encompassing 21.92 acres, which was approved in 2011 and will expire in 2014.
The Planned Unit Development (PUD), Silverbrook Estates, encompassing 325 acres and located on
U.S. Highway 93 North and Church Drive was annexed into the city in late 2006 and completed final
platting of all of Phase 1 during 2008 and 2009. A preliminary plat for Phase 2 was submitted in late
2008 and is planned to include 13 commercial lots, 1 lot for a future fire station, 196 single family lots
and 90 townhouse lots. The commercial use is planned to be at the intersection of Highway 93 North
and Church Drive.
The remaining phases of Westview Estates on West Reserve Drive are planned to include
approximately 47 single family lots and one lot intended to accommodate an apartment complex.
The preliminary plat for Bloomstone on Four Mile Drive was approved in 2008. An extension was
requested and the preliminary plat will expire in April of 2012. Bloomstone was approved for 89 single
family and 32 townhouse lots, and a 64 unit apartment complex.
Conceptual plans were submitted in 2008 for the Starling Planned Unit Development, encompassing
approximately 640 acres which includes all of Section 35 on the west side of Stillwater Road and south
of West Reserve Drive. The project was proposed to include 2,500 to 3,000 homes on about 420 acres,
40 acres of mixed use, 147 acres of open space, 15 acres for an elementary school and approximately
19 acres of internal streets. The project was expected to be phased in over a period of approximately 20
years. The preliminary plat of Phase 1 of the Starling development was approved in 2007 for 99 single
family lots, 98 townhouse lots and 7 multifamily unit lots. The developers have requested an extension,
giving them until June of 2012 to submit a final plat application.
33
The final plat of Phase 3 of Mountain Vista Estates was approved during 2008. The preliminary plat for
Phase 4 was approved to create 19 single family lots when final platted. The developer has requested a
second extension for Phase 4 which will give them until August of 2012 to submit a final plat
application.
Glacier Village Greens is planned to add another 15 single family and 62 townhouse lots when all
phases are completed. The developer of Glacier Village Greens has requested a second extension for
submitting a final plat application until November 2012.
At the end of 2011, there were approximately 1,285 residential lots and 101 non-residential lots in
Kalispell that have been through the preliminary plat process and still scheduled to go through the final
plat process within the next 3 years. Table 13 shows the approximate number of lots that are planned
for final platting within the next 3 years, and indicates the expiration date of the preliminary plat. Once
again, it is important to note that preliminary subdivision plats are subject to change between
preliminary plat and final plat approval.
During the last two years, seven (7) preliminary plats expired, that included 151 residential lots and 4
commercial lots. (Table 14)

CITY OF KALISPELL ANNEXATIONS
Annexations are generally accomplished through a petition by the property owner or developer
representing the property, and are requested for the main purpose of accessing city utilities allowing for
higher density residential and commercial development.
The area of the City of Kalispell has more than doubled in land area since 2000. U. S. Census data
determined that the area of the City of Kalispell in 1990 was 4.4 square miles and 5.46 square miles in
2000. At the end of 2011, the City of Kalispell encompassed approximately 7,521 acres or 11.75 square
miles. This represents a 115% increase in area since 2000, and 167% since 1990. (Figure 9)
Three annexations during 2011, added about 20 acres to the City’s area. These were done mainly for
the purpose of providing access to city utilities. The largest was 19.77 acres north of Kalispell where
the new Army National Guard Armory is located. During the previous year, 2010, there were only 4
small annexations that added only about 13 acres to the City. These were also done mainly for the
purpose of providing access to city utilities and there are no immediate development plans for these
properties. (Table 15)
Approximately 231 acres were annexed into Kalispell during 2009. The most significant annexation
was that of approximately 208 acres south of Kalispell between Highway 93 and the planned Highway
93 Alternate Route. Plans for this area include mixed residential and commercial use and will require a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement as development occurs. A 10 acre parcel on Three Mile
Drive was annexed and was planned to accommodate an assisted living facility. No plans have come
forth yet to complete this project. Other scattered small annexations occurred as a result of an effort to
bring wholly surrounded properties into the city. (Table 15)
In 2008 about 570 acres were annexed. Two of the largest included approximately 486 acres between
Highway 93 North, West Reserve Drive and Whitefish Stage Road, better known as the Glacier Town
Center site. The area is planned for mixed residential and commercial use. Gardner Investments
annexed approximately 82 acres east of Highway 93, and south of Lower Valley Road. (Table 15) The
development of this property is likely to be commercial/industrial in nature and will require a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) agreement as development occurs.
Annexations in 2007 resulted in over 1,100 acres being added to the city. (Table 15) Large annexations
of vacant land in 2007 were likely in anticipation that the rapid housing and population growth of the
past decade would continue. As of the end of 2011, these large areas have seen very little development.

FLATHEAD COUNTY OVERVIEW
April 1, 2010 was Census Day at which time the Census determined that Montana’s population was
989,415.This represents a 9.7% increase since the last Census Day on April 1, 2000. The U.S. Census
Bureau began releasing data for counties, cities and places beginning in March of 2011.
According to 2010 Census data, 20 of the 56 Montana counties had populations in excess of 10,000. Of
those 20 counties, 5 had decreases in population since 2000. Of these more populated counties,
Flathead County has been the second fastest growing in percentage and third in numerical increase
since 2000. Flathead County is the 3rd most populated county in Montana and represents about 9% of
Montana’s total population, and 18.9 percent of the increase in the state population between 2000 and
July of 2010. In other words, Flathead County has absorbed just less than one- fifth of the increase in
population of the ENTIRE STATE between 2000 and 2010. Of all Montana counties, 28 of 56 lost
population between 2000 and 2010.
Five Montana counties with a population of 10,000 or more have lost population since 2000, including
Hill, Silver Bow, Fergus, Roosevelt and Park. These counties are not included in Figures 12 and 13,
but are listed in Table 16.

Incorporated vs. Unincorporated Population
The three incorporated areas in Flathead County have experienced substantial population increases
over the past decade as the cities of Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls expanded their boundaries
for both residential and commercial development. Development projects that are planned within a
reasonable distance of incorporated areas, often request to be annexed into the city to receive water and
sewer service, which allows for higher density development. This would explain why the population in
rural Flathead County is not increasing at the same pace as the cities. As of Census Day, April 1, 2010,
approximately 34 percent of the population of Flathead County resided within the three cities of
Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls, compared to 30.7 percent in 2000 and 32.4 percent in 1990.
(Tables 17 and 18)
During the 1960’s, there were almost an equal number of people living in the cities as there were living
in the rural areas of the Flathead County. While the majority of those now living in Flathead County
reside outside of incorporated areas, there has been a notable increase in those who are choosing to
reside in the cities. (Figure 13) Several factors may be contributing to this trend. The escalating price
of real estate over the past few years in counties with high growth rates may have prevented some
people from purchasing larger parcels outside of incorporated areas. An aging population, rising fuel
costs and longer commutes may also contribute to the increasing urban growth rates.

Figures 14 through 16 demonstrate the increased rate of population growth in Flathead County
incorporated areas, as compared to rural population growth. The City of Kalispell population has been
steadily increasing since the 1960’s with especially significant increases since 1990. The annexation of
large areas into the incorporated cities for development of high density mixed use and residential
housing is a major contributing factor to the differences in the rate of population increase. These large
annexations have occurred more so in Kalispell than in Whitefish or Columbia Falls.
