A Motion to Accept the Deed of Dedication for Fairway
Boulevard
April 15, 2019 — Regular Council Meeting
BACKGROUND: In 1995, the Kalispell City Council, by Resolution No. 4221, accepted
and approved the annexation request of the balance of the subdivision known as Fairway
Boulevard which had been platted and constructed under the regulatory authority of
Flathead County. A single looped street known and identified as Fairway Boulevard
serves this townhouse subdivision. Flathead County did not own or maintain the street
at the time of the annexation, as it did not meet the County standards due to its 28-foot
total right-of-way width and therefore remained in private ownership in common by the
homeowners under the legal entity of the Fairway Boulevard Townhouses Homeowners
Association Inc.
When the City of Kalispell annexed the subdivision, it amended its extension of services
policy with a "mini -extension of services plan" in which the City acknowledged that it
had the capacity to provide the necessary municipal services, including transportation
services, to the subdivision. In this regard, the homeowners association was to dedicate
the street to the City, which up to this time, as an oversight, has not been done. The City
has continually maintained Fairway Boulevard since the time of the annexation.
Resolution No. 4221 and supporting material are attached to this memorandum for
informational purposes.
RECOMMENDATION: City Council should consider and pass a motion to accept the
Deed of Dedication for Fairway Boulevard.
ALTERNATIVES: Council may seek further clarification and information from staff.

RESOLUTION NO. 4221
A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, A TRACT
OF LAND DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", TO BE KNOWN AS FAIRWAY BOULEVARD
ADDITION NO. 267; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY URBAN SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, R-3, TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY AND TO
DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell has requested annexation of
property known as Fairway Boulevard Townhouses Phases VI, VII and
VIII, more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto
and thereby made a part hereof, to the City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a
report on Fairway Boulevard Addition No. 267, City Zone Request,
#KA-95-7, dated May 31, 1995, and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission recommended that the territory be annexed into the City
of Kalispell and be zoned Urban Single Family Residential, R-3, and
WHEREAS, based upon the report of the Flathead Regional
Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is appropriate based upon the
following criterion:
Does the Requested Zone ComDIY_with the Master Plan?
The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the
Kalispell City -County Master Plan. According to the map
of the master plan, the property is currently designated
as "High Density Residential". R-3 is considered in
general compliance with the Master Plan. The maximum
density of the R-3 zone is less than anticipated by the
"High Density" classification.
Does the Requested Zone Lessen Congestion in the Streets?
Congestion in the streets is caused by an overburden of
traffic on the street system. The zone in this case
would not cause undue congestion because traffic
generation is a function of the number of dwelling units
that are allowed within a given area. The property has
been subdivided and partially developed in a manner that
is equivalent to the existing County R-4 zone with a
Conditional Use Permit to allow clustering. It should be
noted that Whitefish Stage Road is due to be upgraded.
There is no schedule for this upgrade and funding has not
been accomplished. It would, however, be expected to
1
occur within the next 3-10 years. This upgrade would
probably require the road right-of-way to be increased
from 60 feet to 80 feet. Development on this property
would not be significantly impacted by the increased
right-of-way width of this road.
Will the Requested Zone Secure Safety from Fire, Panic
and Other Dangers?
Development within this zone is subject to development
standards including: lot coverage, maximum building
height, and the provision of off-street parking. Any
additional future development of the property is subject
to review by the City, and requires the issuance of
building, plumbing, and mechanical permits. These
requirements and review processes help ensure that
development of the property subsequent to the zone change
is done in a safe manner. In addition, a Conditional Use
Permit was granted by the County and is acceptable to the
City. This Conditional Use Permit and the subdivision
approval specifically approved townhouse lots for this
project. No change to those approvals is expected. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Change Promote the Health and General
Welfare?
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to
promote the general health and welfare and does so by
implementing the City -County Master Plan. The City -
County Master Plan would support the requested zone
change. Designation of this area as R-3 would have
little or no impact. Any traffic generation that the
proposed change allows was mitigated at the time of
Conditional Use Permit approval and subdivision approval.
The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public
input and review for all zone change requests. This
process offers an opportunity to ensure that any changes
to the Official Zoning Map are done in the general public
interest. Additionally, other review mechanisms are in
place to ensure that development is in compliance with
all applicable safety codes. No significant negative
impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Provide for Adeguate Light and
Air?
The development standards of the zoning ordinance and
subdivision regulations (i.e.: Conditional Use Permit,
`A
parking, landscaping, clear vision setback, roadway
improvements, etc.) would ensure that light and air are
adequately provided.
Will the Requested Zone Change Prevent the Overcrowding
of Land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or
exceeds the environmental or service limitations of the
property. The Subdivision, Zoning and Building
regulations control the intensity requirements that a
property can be developed with. Adequate infrastructure
is in place or can be provided at the time of development
to accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested
zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Avoid Undue Concentration of
People?
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted
by a particular zone. The proposed change would have no
impact on residential density in the area.
Infrastructure exists or can be provided which supports
the proposed change. The zoning ordinance covers the
intensity of use that would be permitted in this zone.
An undue concentration of people would result if the
property is developed at a level which exceeds the
environmental or service carrying capacity of the land
which would not happen. The proposed zoning and approved
development would ensure that the site is properly
developed. No significant impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Facilitate the Adequate Provision
of Transportation, Water, Sewer, Schools, Parks and Other
Public Requirements?
No additional demands for transportation, water, and
sewer would be expected because of existing approved
development; existing infrastructure exists in the
vicinity (North Valley Sewer and Evergreen Water
Districts) which would be able to serve development of
this property. Schools and parks should not be any more
impacted under the existing County approvals than would
be under the City. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Does the Requested Zone Give Consideration to the
Particular Suitability of the Property for Particular
Uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted
within the R-3 zone because of availability of services
3
and access to a major thoroughfare. The property is of
adequate size for the type of uses permitted and
conditionally allowed in the proposed zone. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Does the Requested Zoning Give Reasonable Consideration
to the Character of this District?
The property in question is well suited for the type
development anticipated under the requested zone because
of the topography, access, regional location, access to
schools, access to urban services, and size of the
proposal. In addition the Master Plan for the area
anticipates this type of zone in this area. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Would the Proposed Zoning Conserve the Value of the
Buildings?
The subject request would not significantly impact
buildings. There are no known uses that would be
affected by this zone. A change from County R-4 to the
City R-3 zone will not significantly impact, erode, or
devalue the neighborhood beyond the type of uses that are
currently allowed or that exist in the area. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Change Encourage the Most
Appropriate Use of the Land Throughout the Jurisdiction?
Appropriateness of a zone is determined by the Kalispell
City -County Master Plan. The Plan, the existing zoning
classification, and the Conditional Use Permit identify
this area for the types of uses permitted within the
requested zone. Therefore, the change would encourage
the most appropriate use of the land. No significant
negative impact is expected. The proposed City zone
merely continues the property's land use approvals from
the County.
WHEREAS, on the 3rd day of April, 1989 the City Council of the
City of Kalispell adopted, pursuant to Section 7-2-4610, Montana
Code Annotated, an Extension of Services Plan which anticipates
development of City services for approximately five years in the
future, and
WHEREAS, the City has caused to be developed a "mini -extension
of services plan", attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and thereby made
a part hereof, for the territory by this Resolution annexed to the
City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, said "mini -extension of services plan" provides for
the extension of municipal services or maintenance of existing
services within the area of Fairway Boulevard Addition No. 267,
subject to annexation, including water, sewer, storm drainage,
streets, garbage collection, police protection and fire protection,
and
WHEREAS, said "mini -extension of services plan" provides for
financing the extension of municipal services or maintenance of
existing services by utilizing funds allocated and expended,
pursuant to the annual City budget without incurring additional
bonded indebtedness, and
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell desires to annex said property
in accordance with Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 46, Montana Code
Annotated.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. That all the real property as is more
particularly described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto
and thereby made a part hereof, shall be annexed to the
City of Kalispell and the boundary of the City is altered
to so provide.

the City Clerk of Council is directed to make and
certify, under the seal of the City a copy of the record
of these proceedings as are entered on the minutes of the
City Council and file said documents with the Flathead
County Clerk and Recorder.
From and after the date of filing of said documents as
prepared by the City Clerk of Council, or on the
effective date hereof, whichever shall occur later, said
annexed territory is part of the City of Kalispell and
its citizens and property shall be subject to all debts,
laws and ordinances and regulations in force in the City
of Kalispell and shall be entitled to the same privileges
and benefits as are other parts of the City.

FAIRWAY BOULEVARD ADDITION NO. 267 ANNEXATION
EXTENSION OF SERVICES PLAN
ADDENDUM TO CiTY RESOLUTION 13838
PREPARED BY THE
FLATHEAD REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
MAY 31, 1995
The subject property Is within the Service Area Boundary of the City of Kalispell as
described by the Extension of Services Plan adopted by the City of Kalispell on April
3, 1989 (Resolution 13838). This broad -based extension of services plan together
with this "mini -plan' comprise the Extension of Services Plan for the Fairway
Boulevard Addition No. 267 annexation.
EXISTING SERVICES:
Water: Evergreen Water District has a 12 inch water line In Whitefish Stage. This
main should have sufficient capacity to serve this site when the connection is
made.
Sewer: Sanitary sewer and lift station exist toward the west end of the property.
This line and station have sufficient capacity to service this property.
Storm Drainage: No area storm drainage system appears to be associated with this
subdivision.
Streets: Whitefish Stage Is a County maintained 60 foot arterial. it Is a two lane
travel surface with no pedestrian access. The travel surface is worn and the street
gets congested. The upgrade of Whitefish Stage to an 80 foot right-of-way and
arterial design is a priority but no funding or time frame has been established. A
pedestrian trail from Reserve Drive to Fairway Boulevard Townhouses along
Whitefish Stage Road serving this site is scheduled for the fall of 1995. Fairway
Boulevard is a two lane paved road with rolled curbs to a width of 28 feet.
Garbage Collection: Available by contract from private companies.
Police Protection: Currently the Flathead County Sheriffs Department.
Fire Protection: Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department.
ANTICIPATED SERVICE NEEDS:
Water: Water supply exists to the property from the Evergreen Water District
water line in Whitefish Stage Road.
J.
Sewer: Sewer would flow into the existing main and would feed Into the City's
sewerage disposal plant. The main has sufficient capacity at this time to service
this site.
Storm Drainage: Retention and/or disposal of storm water is collected in the
common area and percolates into the ground.
Streets: Whitefish Stage Road and Fairway Boulevard are two lane paved roads with
sufficient capacity to serve this site. It should be noted that Whitefish Stage Road
has been upgraded to major arterial status. This upgrade will require additional
right-of-way to a total of 80 feet. Development of the property should not be
significantly impacted by any additional right-of-way needs of this upgrade.
Garbage Collection: The City has the capacity and equipment to handle the needs
of this site at the time it becomes eligible for municipal service.
Police/Fire: City of Kalispell Police Department and Fire Department will be available
to serve the tract upon annexation. They will be able to provide "service" to this
property on substantially the same basis and in the same manner In which this
service is currently provided to the rest of the municipality.
EXTENSION AND FINANCE STRATEGIES:
The cost of extending such public services as police and fire protection, street
maintenance, and administration of the Conditional Use Permit are expected to be
negligible. The general source of money to extend these type of services is from
the general tax revenues received from this property and other properties inside
the City limits. Any individual improvements to the property, including the
extension of the water line, sewer line, and stormwater management
improvements, will be the responsibility of the developer/landowner. Any area -
wide improvements relative to a comprehensive storm drainage system will be
financed in part by the residents of the entire municipality and in part by special
assessments for that purpose.

Re: Recommendation of Zoning for Fairway Boulevard Addition No. 267
Dear Bruce:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission met on June 13,
1995, and held a public hearing on the following agenda item:
A request by the City of Kalispell for annexation to the City of Kalispell with
an initial zoning classification of R-3 (Urban Single Family Residential). The
property is known as Fairway Boulevard Townhouses and will annex that
portion of the subdivision not already annexed, known as Phases VI, VII and
VIII; including all common areas, developed and undeveloped land contained
therein not previously annexed. Phase VIII being that area contained inside
the circle created by Fairway Blvd. The properties are located approximately
1/2 mile south of West Evergreen Drive on the west side of Whitefish Stage
Road and have direct access from Whitefish Stage Road via Fairway Boulevard.
The property is located in a portion of the NE4 of Section 6, Township 28
North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
John Parsons reviewed the statutory criteria for a zone change and recommended the
zone classification of R-3 upon annexation of the property be granted.
No one spoke either in favor or in opposition to the requested zone upon annexation.
The Board acting as the Zoning Commission, voted unanimously to adopt the findings
of fact in report #KA-95-7, and recommend that the requested R-3 zone be granted
upon annexation of the subject property.
This recommendation for zoning is forwarded to the City Council for final action.
Council needs to wait for the minutes of the Planning Board meeting prior to taking
final action on this matter. However, this does not preclude discussion at Council
workshop. Please contact the Commission or the FRDO if you have any questions.

FRDO CITY ZONE REPORT #KA-95-7
MAY 31, 1995
The City of Kalispell is proceeding with annexation of Phases VI through VIII of
Fairway Boulevard Townhouses into the city limits of Kalispell. Fairway Boulevard
Townhouses, Phases I through V were annexed In December 1994. This is a report
to the Kalispell City -County Zoning Commission and Kalispell City Council. This
report evaluates the assignment of a City zoning classification as it relates to
annexation in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance.
PROPOSED ZONING CLASSIFICATION
The City is requesting a zoning classification of R-3 (Urban Single Family Residential).
Presently, the property is zoned County R-4, under the Flathead County Zoning
Regulations. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance defines the intent of the R-3
Classification as follows:
A residential district to provide lot areas for urban development. This
development must be served by all public utilities.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PETITIONER:
City of Kalispell
312-1st Avenue East
Kalispell, MT 59901
SIZE AND LOCATION:
The property Is approximately 10 acres located on the northeast side of Kalispell,
on the west side of Whitefish Stage Road approximately 2,000 feet south of West
Evergreen Drive. This site is located in the NE 1/4, of Section 6, Township 28 North,
Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The property is described as
Phases VI, VIi, and VIII of Fairway Boulevard Townhouses.
LAND USE AND ZONING:
The property is currently being developed with townhouses and zoned County R-4.
West and North of the proposal is zoned City R-3 and P-1 and is developed with
Fairway Boulevard Townhouses and a golf course. To the east is developed with
residences and is zoned County R-2, to the south is County R-1 and a residence.
Whitefish Stage Road is currently improved as a two lane Major Arterial which
supplies primary access to the site.
BACKGROUND:
In 1979 Fairway Boulevard Estates development plan was approved by the County
Commissioners. in 1980 Fairway Boulevard Townhouse Phase 1 final plat and
Covenants were approved by the County and included a waiver of protest to
annexation. In 1982, the North Village Sewer District waived the right to protest
annexation, however it included the stipulation that 80% of the area to be annexed
had to have an approved development plan on it prior to annexation. In 1994,
Phases i-V were annexed.
AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SERVICES:
Water and sewer services are available In the area. A separately prepared
"Extension of Services Plan" discusses the provision of public services to this
property.
EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA
The statutory procedure for evaluating zone changes is set forth by 76-2-303, M.C.A.
Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the criteria
described by 76-2.304, M.C.A.
Does The Requested Zone Comply With The Master Plan?
The subject property is within the Jurisdiction of the Kalispell City -County Master
Plan. According to the map of the master plan, the property is currently
designated as "High Density Residential". R-3 is considered in general compliance
with the Master Plan. The maximum density of the R-3 zone is less than anticipated
by the "High Density" classification.
Does The Reauested Zone Lessen Congestion in the Streets?
Congestion in the streets is caused by an overburden of traffic on the street
system. The zone in this case would not cause undue congestion because traffic
generation is a function of the number of dwelling units that are allowed within
a given area. The property has been subdivided and partially developed in a
manner that is equivalent to the existing County R-4 zone with a Conditional Use
Permit to allow clustering. It should be noted that Whitefish Stage Road is due to
be upgraded. There is no schedule for this upgrade and funding has not been
accomplished. Itwould, however, be expected to occurwithin the next 3-10years.
This upgrade would probably require the road right-of-way to be increased from
60 feet to 80 feet. Development on this property would not be significantly
Impacted by the increased right-of-way width of this road.
Will The Requested Zone Secure Safety From Fire. Panic And Other Dangers?
Development within this zone is subject to development standards including: lot
coverage, maximum building height, and the provision of off-street parking. Any
2
additional future development of the property is subject to review by the City, and
requires the issuance of building, plumbing, and mechanical permits. These
requirements and review processes help ensure that development of the property
subsequent to the zone change is done in a safe manner. In addition, a Conditional
Use Permit was granted by the County and is acceptable to the City. This
Conditional Use Permit and the subdivision approval specifically approved
townhouse lots for this project. No change to those approvals is expected. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Change Promote The Health And General Welfare?
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to promote the general
health and welfare and does so by implementing the City -County Master Plan. The
City -County Master Plan would support the requested zone change. Designation of
this area as R-3 would have little or no impact. Any traffic generation that the
proposed change allows was mitigated at the time of Conditional Use Permit
approval and subdivision approval.
The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public input and review for all
zone change requests. This process offers an opportunity to ensure that any
changes to the Official Zoning Map are done in the general public interest.
Additionally, other review mechanisms are in place to ensure that development is
in compliance with all applicable safety codes. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Will The Reauested Zone Provide For Adeauate Light And Air?
The development standards of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations
G.e.: Conditional Use Permit, parking, landscaping, clear vision setback, roadway
improvements, etc.) would ensure that light and air are adequately provided.
Will The Requested Zone Change Prevent The Overcrowding of Land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or exceeds the
environmental or service limitations of the property. The Subdivision, Zoning and
Building regulations control the intensity requirements that a property can be
developed with. Adequate infrastructure is in place or can be provided at the time
of development to accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested zone. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Zone Avoid Undue Concentration Of Peoale?
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted by a particular zone.
The proposed change would have no impact on residential density in the area.
Infrastructure exists or can be provided which supports the proposed change. The
zoning ordinance covers the intensity of use that would be permitted In this zone.
An undue concentration of people would result if the property is developed at a
level which exceeds the environmental or service carrying capacity of the land
3
which would not happen. The proposed zoning and approved development would
ensure that the site is properly developed. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Will The Requested Zone Facilitate The Adequate Provision Of Transportation
Water, Sewer. Schools, Parks And Other Public Requirements?
No additional demands for transportation, water, and sewer would be expected
because of existing approved development; existing infrastructure exists in the
vicinity (North Valley Sewer and Evergreen Water Districts) which would be able to
serve development of this property. Schools and parks should not be any more
impacted under the existing County approvals than would be under the City. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Does The Requested Zone Give Consideration To The Particular Suitability Of The
Property For Particular Uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted within the R-3 zone because
of availability of services and access to a major thoroughfare. The property is of
adequate size for the type of uses permitted and conditionally allowed in the
proposed zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
Does The Requested Zoning Give Reasonable Consideration To The Character Of This
District?
The property in question is well suited for the type development anticipated under
the requested zone because of the topography, access, regional location, access to
schools, access to urban services, and size of the proposal. In addition the Master
Plan for the area anticipates this type of zone in this area. No significant negative
impact is expected.
Would The Proposed Zoning Conserve The Value Of The Buildings?
The subject request would not significantly impact buildings. There are no known
uses that would be affected by this zone. A change from County R-4 to the City R-3
zone will not significantly impact, erode, or devalue the neighborhood beyond the
type of uses that are currently allowed or that exist in the area. No significant
negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Zone Change Encourage The Most Appropriate Use Of The Land
Throughout The Jurisdiction?
Appropriateness of a zone is determined by the Kalispell City -County Master Plan.
