A 102-unit housing complex proposed on Wisconsin Avenue and the redevelopment for the former Idaho Timber property will be considered during public hearings Thursday, Nov. 16, before the Whitefish Planning Board.

Wisconsin Development Partners and Will MacDonald have applied for a conditional-use permit to build 66 condominium cabins and 36 apartment condos on 10.26 acres on the west side of Wisconsin Avenue, directly across from the Alpine Market commercial center. The area includes current vacant land and the parcels where Big Mountain Trailer Court is located.

The property, owned by Lenticular Properties of Bristol, Tennessee, is zoned as a low-density resort residential district, which requires a conditional-use permit for buildings that are five-plexes or larger. The apartment condos are proposed in three 12-plex buildings that would be located along the southern third of the project area. Cabins would be located in the center and northern areas of the property.

The other big project on the Planning Board agenda is a request by 95 Karrow LLC and owner Casey Malmquist for preliminary-plat approval and a planned unit development to develop a 22-lot mixed-use center at the north end of Karrow Avenue on the former Idaho Timber property.

Two new zoning designations for the 14-acre former industrial property — industrial transitional district and neighborhood mixed-use transitional — recently were approved by the City Council.

Proposed are a variety of uses including residential, professional office, lodging, restaurant, limited retail, light manufacturing, artisan workshop space, studio and gallery space, personal service businesses and other similar uses.

Malmquist and 95 Karrow LLC propose development in six phases. The first phase would include parking and circulation infrastructure throughout the site, along with an extension of the Whitefish River Trail. The initial phase also would include an existing building and one of the mixed-use buildings. Phase 2 adds more parking, southwesterly artisan spaces and a microbrewery. Phase 3 includes professional office and condo space. Phase 4 features a hotel, with phase 5 adding more office and condo space west of the hotel.

The final phase is a restaurant with private rail-car parking and a final mixed-use artisan building.

The site plan also shows a future bridge across the Whitefish River to connect with the BNSF Loop Trail.

The Planning Board meets at 6 p.m. Nov. 16 at Whitefish City Hall, 418 E. Second St.
