I2. Glacier View CUPPLANNING FOR THE FUTURE MONT"A REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager FROM: Jarod Nygren, Senior Planner Planning Department 201 1" Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/plannin,a SUBJECT: KCU-19-01 — Glacier View Drive Community Center MEETING DATE: May 6, 2019 BACKGROUND: A request from Terry and Lori Williamson for a residential community center within the R-3 (Residential) Zoning District. Community centers are permitted within the R-3 Zone provided a conditional use permit is obtained per Section 27.06.030 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A community center is defined as follows within the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance: "Community Center. A place, structure, area, or other facility used for and providing religious, fraternal, social, or recreational programs. It is not operated for profit and generally open to the public and designed to accommodate and serve the community." The proposed community center would be very similar to a Ronald McDonald House, where it will serve the purpose of offering families a home environment away from the hospital. Guests will always be accompanied by the owner of the property or authorized volunteer. The subject property is located at 15 Glacier View Drive and can be legally described as Lot 6 of Grand View Heights Addition No. 2 in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing on April 9, 2019, to consider the application request. Staff presented staff report KCU-19-01 providing details of the proposal and evaluation. Staff reported that the proposed CUP was compatible with the zoning, the growth policy, and the applicant has met the burden of proof requirements. Staff recommended that the Planning Board adopt the staff report as findings of fact, and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the CUP be approved, subject to five (5) conditions. During the public comment portion of the hearing, three neighboring property owners spoke out in opposition to the proposed use, at which time one of the neighbors presented a petition from neighboring property owners whom were also in objection to the use. Their primary concerns were in regards to continued intrusion of hospital/hospital related activities into their neighborhood. There was concerns that the infrastructure in the neighborhood was not adequate for the use, increased traffic concerns and that the proposed house being built would obstruct their views. The applicants spoke out in support of the request stating their intentions for the property and that they were willing to mitigate any issues the neighborhood had mentioned. There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KCU-19-01 as findings of fact, and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the CUP be approved, subject to five (5) conditions. There was a lengthy discussion between the board regarding pedestrian access from the hospital to the proposed residence at which time a motion was presented to add a condition No. 6, requiring the applicant to add sidewalks connecting the subject property to the nearest existing sidewalks on Sunnyview Lane. Further discussion concluded the amendment was appropriate and the amendment passed 5 in favor and 1 opposed. A second motion was presented to add a condition No. 7, requiring that the residence be constructed per ADA codes. The board discussed the fact that ADA rules have multiple definitions and that the condition would not be appropriate. The motion failed unanimously upon roll call vote. Further discussion concluded that the request was appropriate, and the original motion passed unanimously upon roll call vote. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve a request from Terry and Lori Williamson for Conditional Use Permit KCU-19-01, a conditional use permit for a community center with six (6) conditions of approval within the R-3 Zoning District, located at 15 Glacier View Drive and can be legally described as Lot 6 of Grand View Heights Addition No. 2 in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal impact to the City. ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

The community CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT center would be very similar to a Ronald McDonald House, where it will serve the purpose of offering families a home environment away from the hospital. STAFF REPORT Jarod Nygren representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed Staff Report #KCU-19-01. Staff outlined the project including the proposed use, site plan and surrounding uses. Staff mentioned that they had received numerous public omment letters in opposition to the application. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report #KCU-19-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION Board discussed sidewalks, crosswalks and ADA requirements; Nygren advised that since this is a single family residence it will not require that the applicant install sidewalks and/or crosswalks and ADA is not required because there will be 8 or less people occupying the home at any given time. PUBLIC HEARING Steve Martinez — 425 Sunnyview Lane — opposes project Lori Williamson — applicant — 20 Woodridge Dr., Columbia Falls, MT — gave a brief description of goals for community center. Marianne Lowitz — 50 Grandview Dr. — opposes project Susan Cahill — 425 Sunnyview Lane — opposes project Terry Williamson — applicant — 20 Woodridge Dr., Columbia Falls, MT — offered to answer any questions the board had. Terry mentioned that he and his wife were willing to do any public infrastructure improvements necessary in order to make the area safer for the neighborhood and guests of the home. MOTION (ORIGINAL) Kauffman moved and Young seconded a motion that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report #KCU-19-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION Giavasis would like to see better pedestrian access by adding sidewalks connecting the subject property to the sidewalk system adjacent the hospital. MOTION (ADD COND. #6) Giavasis moved and Graham seconded a motion to add condition #6 to require that the applicant add sidewalks connecting the subject property to the nearest existing walkway on Sunnyview Lane to city standards. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of April 9, 2019 Pagel BOARD DISCUSSION Kauffman inquired about the width of the existing right of way. Nygren advised it would be reviewed by Public Works if the condition is approved and a sidewalk is required. The Board clarified that there was a clear nexus in this case for requiring offsite sidewalks in this case, as the guests of the house would likely be walking from the hospital. ROLL CALL (ADD COND. #6) The motion passed 5-1 on a roll call vote. Rory Young is opposed. MOTION (ADD COND. #7) Graham moved and Borgardt seconded a motion to add condition #7 to require that the applicant construct the single-family residence per ADA codes. BOARD DISCUSSION Board discussed the fact that ADA rules have multiple definitions and that for this application it would not fit. Since the City and State have ADA guidelines that have to be followed, they would be addressed during the plan review phase. ROLL CALL (ADD COND. #7) The motion failed unanimously on a roll call vote. ROLL CALL (ORIGINAL) The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

Chad Graham President APPROVED as submitted/amended: Kari Hernandez Recording Secretary Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of April 9, 2019 Page12 15 GLACIER VIEW DRIVE COMMUNITY CENTER REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT #KCU-19-01 April 2, 2019 This is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a conditional use permit for a community center to be operated within a single-family residence. A public hearing on this matter has been scheduled before the Planning Board for April 9, 2019, beginning at 6:00 PM, in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The Planning Board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action. A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Owner/Applicant: Terry and Lori Williamson 20 Wood Ridge Drive Columbia Falls, MT 59912 (406) 249-3997 Summary of Request: A request from Terry and Lori Williamson for a residential community center within the R-3 (Residential) Zoning District. Community centers are permitted within the R-3 Zone provided a conditional use permit is obtained per Section 27.06.030 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A community center is defined as follows within the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance: "Community Center. A place, structure, area, or other facility used for and providing religious, fraternal, social, or recreational programs. It is not operated for profit and generally open to the public and designed to accommodate and serve the community." The proposed community center would be very similar to a Ronald McDonald House, where it will serve the purpose of offering families a home environment away from the hospital. The residence will be open to guests by invitation only and available as needed from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Guests will always be accompanied by the owner of the property or authorized volunteer. The subject property is currently a vacant lot; however, a single-family home will be constructed as part of the project. The application states that the residence will have an approximately 1,800 square foot footprint. The house will be 2 stories and the main floor will have an open floor plan concept with kitchen, great room, and half bath. The second floor will be a serenity floor and will have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The basement will have an open floor plan and half bath that is built for children with playrooms and craft rooms. Community centers are not a protected use within state law like group homes for zoning purposes; however, given the circumstances the impact of a community center would be relatively similar. Therefore, staff is looking at the use similarly to a state licensed group home (8 or fewer), which requires that the use be treated the same as a single-family use. Additionally, per state law, a community center is limited to 8 or fewer persons in order to qualify for residential construction. If the permitted occupant load exceeds 8 people then the project would fall under more extensive building code requirements and would require a fire suppression and notification system be installed. Location: The subject property is located at 15 Glacier View Drive and can be legally described as Lot 6 of Grand View Heights Addition No. 2 in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Size: The subject property is .25-acres in size. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is currently an undeveloped residential lot. The property is located within the R-3 (Residential) land use Zoning District. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance describes the intent of this district: "A district intended to provide lot areas for urban residential development. This district should have good thoroughfare access, and be in proximity to community and neighborhood facilities, i.e., schools, parks, shopping areas, etc. Development within this district must be served by all public utilities. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designed as suburban residential or urban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map." Adjacent Zoning: The zoning in the vicinity of the property is as follows: West: R-3 North: R-3 East: R-3 South: R-3 *The property is located near the H-1 / PUD Zone that encompasses the hospital. Adjacent Land Uses: The land uses within the vicinity are as follows: West: Single-family residence North: Vacant residential lot and single-family residence East: Single-family residence South: Single-family residence * The property is located approximately 400 feet from the hospital. Relation to the Growth Policy: The subject property is within the High Density Residential land use category of the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map. The Growth Policy Plan Plan -It 2035. The growth policy generally promotes multi -family residential and low -intensity commercial developments within the High Density Residential land use category. Single-family residential uses are also appropriate in areas where they are the historic development pattern and primary land use in the area. The 2 neighboring properties are primarily single-family residential and staff is considering the use a single-family use, much like a group home. Therefore, the use is appropriate since the use is considered a single-family use and the primary land use of the area is single- family.

EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST This application has been reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A conditional use permit may be granted only if the proposal, as submitted, conforms to all of the following general conditional use permit criteria, as well as to all other applicable criteria that may be requested: 1. Site Suitability: a. Adequate Useable Space: The subject property is approximately 11,000 square feet in size, which is considered large for a city single-family residential property. The property is also largely flat with a gentle slope to the north. The minimum lot area required in the R-3 Zone is 6,000 square feet. The lot is more than adequate to meet the applicable zoning standards for lot size, building setbacks and building height. b. Height, bulk and location of the building_ A single-family home is proposed for the property. The application indicates that the residence will be approximately 1,800 square feet on the main floor, will be two stories tall and include a finished basement and attached garage. Staff will review for compliance of the setbacks and lot coverage at time of building permit. Building height will be 29' 10", which is far below the maximum height restriction of 35' within the R-3 Zone. The structures will also meet the minimum required setbacks for development within the R-3 Zone. The R-3 Zone requirements give due consideration to the height, bulk and location of the proposed residence. C. Adequate Access: The residence will be gaining its access via a private driveway that connects to Glacier View Drive, an improved city street. The private driveway meets the minimum width requirements for ingress and egress. 3 d. Environmental Constraints: The residence is proposed on an existing residential lot and there are no known environmental constraints, such as steep slopes, streams, floodplains, or wetlands, on the property which could affect the proposed use. 2. Appropriate Design: a. Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: Single-family residences are required to have a minimum of two off-street parking spaces and community centers are required to have 1 space per 250 square feet of gross floor area, or 1 space per 4 patrons. In order to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood, staff is recommending that the community center be limited to 8 patrons. Eight patrons would require two parking spaces, which is in line with what would be required for a single-family residence. As mentioned previously, 8 persons or fewer is also in line with residential construction requirements for building purposes. The site plan indicates the property will have an attached garage and paved driveway for four cars; therefore meeting the zoning requirements provided the community center use is limited to 8 patrons. Additionally, because the home is within walking distance of the medical center (400 feet), guests will be asked to walk over from the hospital limiting the parking demand on the subject property. b. Lighting: Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor lighting on commercial or residential structures requiring them to be dark sky compliant. C. Traffic Circulation: The residence will gain its access from a private drive that connects to Glacier View Drive. Glacier View Drive connects to a network of improved city streets in the vicinity, providing adequate traffic circulation. d. Open Space: The proposed community center will meet the setbacks required by the R-3 Zone, which provides for open spaces around the units and will very much reflect a typical single-family home. e. Fencing/Screening/Landscaping: The property will be fenced with a 4' tall white picket fence in the front yard and 6' tall cedar fence around the remainder of the property. The entire lot will be professionally landscaped with perennials, annuals and shrubbery designed to compliment the neighborhood. Fencing for the units will have to comply with Section 27.20.040 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. f. Signage: There will be no signage on the property. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. 0 No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed use. b. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. There is adequate access to the property from the public road system and the residence will be constructed to meet current building and fire code standards for building and access. C. Water: City of Kalispell water infrastructure is located within Glacier View Drive. The applicant will be required to pay the cost for service line connections to the residence. d. Sewer: City of Kalispell sewer infrastructure is located within Glacier View Drive. The developer will be required to pay the cost for service line connections to the residence. e. Storm Water Drainage: Storm water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed per the City of Kalispell Construction and Design Standards. Prior to receiving a building permit the developer will need to submit a construction storm water management plan to the Public Works Department. This plan will need to show how storm water will be treated and where it will be directed during construction activities. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City of Kalispell. e. Streets: The proposed residence fronts Glacier View Drive, which is an improved public street. Glacier View Drive connects to a network of improved city streets in the vicinity, providing adequate traffic circulation. g. Sidewalks: No sidewalks exist along Glacier View Drive, as it was developed in the county originally. h. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District #5. In this case, no impact would be anticipated because the residence will operate as a community center and a full-time family would not be residing within the home. A very minor impact to the district may be anticipated from the proposed residence if the community center use were to cease and a full- time family were to reside in the home. On average one student K-12 would be anticipated from the residence if it were to convert to a full-time home. i. Parks and Recreation: There should be no significant increase in demand on the parks and recreation programs and facilities as a result of this use. 4. Neighborhood impacts: a. Traffic: The use will not have a significant impact on the traffic generated in the area. It is likely that the guests of the house will be walking from the hospital, which is only 400 feet away. Worst case, it is anticipated that the 5 use will produce approximately 9.57 trips ends/day (Per ITE trip generation model). The width and quality of Glacier View Drive is more than adequate to handle the additional traffic load. b. Noise and Vibration: Other than during construction, the residence is not anticipated to create any objectionable noise and vibration beyond what would normally be associated with a single-family residence. C. Dust, Glare, and Heat: Other than during construction, the residence is not anticipated to create any objectionable dust, glare, and heat beyond what would normally be associated with a single-family residence. d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: Other than during construction, the residence is not anticipated to create any objectionable smoke, fumes, gas, or odors beyond what would normally be associated with a single-family residence. e. Hours of Operation: Similar to any private residence, the home will be open to guests by invitation only. According to the application, the home may be available as needed between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Staff is recommending a condition that the hours of operation be limited to between 7 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., which is a typical timeframe that guests could reasonably be expected in a typical single-family development. This limits the amount of time there could be interferences between the guests and neighboring property owners, while at the same time providing typical daytime hours for guests of the community center. With the aforementioned hours the guests could prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the facility. Guests will always be accompanied by the owners of the property or by an authorized volunteer. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The subject property is surrounded by single-family residences and the hospital. The hospital has recently finished construction of the children's center. Guests of the proposed community center will likely be children seeking treatment at the children's center and their families, giving them a home environment away from the hospital. Although the use will be a community center, the facility will be constructed as a single-family home and compatible with the neighboring properties. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the requested conditional use of the property. C. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-19-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: 2 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL That commencement of the approved activity must begin within 18 months from the date of authorization or that a continuous good faith effort is made to bring the project to completion. 2. The community center shall be limited to eight (8) patrons or fewer. 3. Hours of operation for patrons shall be limited to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 4. The community center shall operate as a nonprofit and provide to the City of Kalispell Planning Department status as a 501(C) (3) prior to certificate of occupancy of the residence. 5_Final designs for storm water management, water service and sanitary sewer service for the residence that complies with Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction shall be submitted for review and approval by the City of Kalispell Public Works Department prior to construction. 6. The applicant shall add sidewalks connecting the subject property to the nearest existing walkway on Sunnyview Lane to city standards. 7 Application for Conditional Use Permit 15 Glacier View Drive Terry & Lori Williamson March 1, 2019 PLkNN1NG FOR THE FUTURE Planning Department 201 15t Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/jplannin� APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROPOSED USE: Residental Home/Community Center OWNER(S) OF RECORD: Name: Terry & Lori Williamson Mailing Address: 20 Wood Ridge Drive City/State/Zip: Columbia Falls, MT 59912 Phone: 386-264-5434 PERSON(S) AUTHORIZED TO REPRESENT THE OWNER(S) AND TO WHOM ALL CORRESPONDENCE IS TO BE SENT: Name: Mailing Address: City/State/Zip: _ Phone: LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY (Refer to Property Records): Street Address: 15 Glacier View Drive Sec.

Application for Conditional Use Permit . 15 Glacier View Drive, Kalispell, MT 59901 Section 4 Attach supplemental information for proposed uses that have additional requirements: During an extended hospital stay, a family and their sick child may feel lost and alone as they suffer during one of the toughest battles, they will ever face. The hospital environment can feel noisy, scary, and sometimes confining. The purpose of the special residential home being built at 15 Glacier View Drive is to offer families a home environment away from the hospital for a couple of hour break from the hustle and bustle of the medical center. This special home will be within walking distance of the hospital and will be a place of respite for parents and a place of uplifting fun and joy for their children. It will be a source of much needed warmth from friends and community while they are battling with their child's illness, a beacon in the darkness that surrounds childhood illness. Similar to any private residence, this home will be open to guests by invitation only. The home may be available as needed between the hours of 9:00 am to 8.00 pm. Guests will always be accompanied by the Williamson's (the owners) or by an authorized volunteer and will not be given access without an approved chaperone. Because the home is within walking distance of the children's medical center, guests will be asked to walk over from the hospital. Additionally, we will have available space to park four cars in the driveway for the rare occasion when a guest may choose to drive. To create a warm home environment, the entire space will be nicely landscaped with perennials, annuals and shrubbery. The front yard will have a four -foot white picket fence and the side and back yards will be fenced with six -foot -high cedar fences. The front of the house will have front west -facing and north facing covered porches. The backyard will have a play structure for the children and a concrete slab for a back porch. The handicapped accessible home will be two stories plus a basement. The main floor will have an open floor concept with a kitchen, great room, and half bath. The second floor will be deemed a serenity floor and will have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This floor will be a quiet space for resting and some much -needed solitude. The basement will have an open floor plan and a half bath, that is built for children, with playrooms and craft rooms. This space will be fun, bright, and a place for kids to play-off some of their pent-up energy. 212512019 Pri ntProperty RecordCard Property Record Card Summary Primary lnformatio€: Property Category- RP Subcategory: Residential Property Geocode: 07-3966-06-3-08-06-0000 Assessment Code: 0000232840 Primary Owner: PropertyAddress: 15 GLACIER VIEW DR KASALA FAMILY TRUST JERRY & CLAIRE KALISPELL, MT 59901 PO BOX 1171 COS Parcel: KALISPELL.

This proposal for a structure designed as a single family residence with between 5337-5832 square feet of public space on three floors (not including any planned space above the two car garage) raises questions of access, parking, and usage. 1. Without an elevator, the building will not meet ADA requirements for a facility serving people requiring medical treatment or assistance. The proposal outlines guest uses that encompass all three floors of the building. The proposal does not address bathroom access and other design features that would meet the needs of guests/patients/clients. 2. The owners indicate that they will be present. They indicate that volunteers or chaperones may also be attending the guests and that patient family members may also be on the premises. Four parking spaces could be seriously inadequate depending on guest capacity and the services offered. 3. It is not clear whether this a nonprofit enterprise or a commercial venture. The applicants have cited Ronald McDonald houses as a model for their facility. They should supply more specific information on just what services will and will not be available on the premises. Ronald McDonald houses vary widely. 4. Clarifying the length of time guests may stay would be helpful: day only, overnight, extended stays. If no pediatric patients and their families are in residence, would other guests with or without connections to KRMC or KRH be allowed to use the facility?

I live at 425 SunnyView Lane to the South of 15 Glacier View Drive. I am writing you to ask you to DENY the Application for a conditional use permit from Terry and Lori Williamson. My neighborhood, between Sunnyview Lane, Grandview Drive and the hospital complex is a small neighborhood of few fences a little open space and great views. Because of our location we have more then any other neighborhood been negatively impacted by the hospital development. Over the many years that the hospital has grown and expanded we have spoken for our quality of life at Planning Board meetings and Hospital meetings. NOT ONCE have our requests to mitigate negative impacts from the hospital expansion been granted. For example, we asked to keep the green space buffer once proposed by the hospital to the west of us and a parking garage built. Instead we got parking sprawl up to property boundaries with inadequate landscaping and a 15' setback. Then to the north we asked to keep the R-3 zoning and have residential housing on that property, more in keeping with a neighborhood. We got more parking sprawl and no landscaping. Now we have the new hospital expansion. For us a monstrosity. We requested a west end entrance to minimize traffic, no chance. We raised our voices about concern for the light pollution the new building will cast into our neighborhood, one person cared at the architectural review, but forget about it. The new addition is not finished and we are still dealing with the noise and impacts of daily construction. We fear the disturbance this new addition will bring to our neighborhood when it is done. Now we are asked to add a new disruption to our neighborhood, a community center. A good idea for families and children but a bad idea for us. It is too much disturbance, too much change, too quickly. So I ask this board to do something it has not done so far, to hear our voices and grant our request to DENY the conditional use permit for 15 Glacier View Drive. This is a small request given all that we have lost in the last 12 years. Before making a decision about this permit I hope you will drive up to our neighborhood. Should the board decide to approve the conditional use permit I have three requests. 1. Stipulate in the permit that construction cannot occur until Jerry and Claire Kasala no longer live in their home at 10 Glacier View Drive. Claire purchased this property with money she inherited from her mother in 1990. She bought it so that she and Jerry would have a great view and did not build on it. Jerry has just returned home from the VA nursing home and hopes to spend as many of his last days as he can at home. Claire is looking forward to wheeling him out onto the deck for views of the Swan Range once the weather warms up. Claire does not want this property sold, or developed on at this time. Her son Jerry Jr. listed it for sale. 2. Stipulate in the conditional use permit the day time operating hours for guests to the community center. 3. Require that Terry and Lori Williamson sigh a PUD agreement for the construction of the house they are proposing so that they have to execute those plans, at least this way hopefully protecting the remaining property values of our neighborhood. Sincerely, Steve Martinez martinezlac@gmail.com 406 270-1655 Kari Hernandez From: steve martinez <martinezlac@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 7, 2019 8:45 PM To: Kari Hernandez Subject: Conditional use permit, 15 Glacier view Drive To: Members of the Board Subject: Conditional Use Permit for 15 Glacier View Dr. I am writing this email to comment on the Staff Report on this property #KCU-19-01, B. EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST, #5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes. One, this section is completely inadequate. It does not address the recent changes and historical use of this area. What is recent and what is historical? Thirty years ago there was a small hospital here a quiet residential community and Second Wind sports, the unregulated dump and open fields. Recently, the last 12 years has seen SIGNIFICANT change in area use. The hospital has expanded into open fields and the old dump. Once where we had open space we now have parking and a monstrosity of a building next door. Two, the comment that "The hospital has recently finished construction of the children's center" is not true! Unless there is another children's center somewhere else that I do not know about. On Friday April 5th I walked around the children's center, there is construction material everywhere, the exterior is not complete, the entryway is not complete, some of the interior looks finished, but not all. If we are talking about the same building I suggest you have this employe drug tested. Three, why are road improvements not required for this project? Glacier View drive is a narrow city street with an inadequate cul=. The redident at the end of the street paid for it to be paved 25 years ago. Sincerely, Steve Martinez To: Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission Subject: Application for Conditional Use Permit, 15 Glacier View Dr. My name is Susan Cahill. I live at 425 Sunnyview Lane. I am writing to request that you do NOT approve the application for a conditional use permit for 15 Glacier View Drive. I have lived at the above address since 1991. Our home was built in the 1950`s and was the first one built on Buffalo Hill. I bought it for the views and the feeling of open space that it afforded. I can see Whitefish Mountain Resort from my back door as well as views of Glacier Park and the Swan Range. Ours is a small neighborhood with few fences, and up until the hospital expansion, it was quiet and you could enjoy the night sky without much ambient light. The back part of our lot joins the lot of the Williamson's proposed "respite home" which is presently green space and part of the cul-de-sac that is Glacier View Heights. 12 years ago, with the hospital expansion, all that started to change, and our small, quiet neighborhood with it's lovely views has been systematically destroyed. Where we were initially promised a "green space" buffer and a parking garage, we got parking sprawl and a 15 foot set back. The original hospital architecture was respectful of the surrounding area with reasonable height and lighting. The new Women and Children's addition is an anathema to that. It towers over everything else and glows night and day with it's glass exterior. It's light shines into my bedroom and the entire house of my neighbor to the east. We cannot see the sunset any longer because the addition blocks it. We have no night sky because of the lights from the new addition. When we neighbors expressed concerns for both of those things we were ignored. Conscious planning for the hospital expansion and it's impact on the neighborhood has never been a consideration. We have been systematically ignored by the hospital and the Board from the beginning. And now the hospital can't even complete this cancerous growth of an addition so the site remains "under construction" with all the mess, noise and dust that that continues to create. Our quiet little neighborhood has ben pummelled by the hosital and the Board for the past 12 years. We are in grief and anger. Now, you want to ok a "respite home" smack in the middle of the small cul-de-sac that is Glacier View Heights. It will be 29 feet high, completely blocking out our view of Whitefish Mountain Resort, and putting up fences so that any views we and our neighbors have will be of that. Our neighbors, Claire and Jerry Kasala live to the east of us. Claire bought 15 Glacier View Drive in 1990 with money she inherited from her mother, so she and her family could enjoy the view of the Swan Range from their deck. Jerry has just returned home after an extended stay in the hospital and nursing home and Claire has been looking forward to being able to wheel him out onto their deck for the great views of the Swan Range that they have always enjoyed. This proposed structure will completely block the view they bought the property to have. She does not want this property sold at this time. Her son Jerry Jr. was the one who put it up for sale. If you come up to our neighborhood and take a look around at both what has already been compromised, and what is being proposed, you will get a better idea of the continued trauma you will cause us. The Glacier Heights cul-de-sac is small and the traffic is already busy on that little road. This new respite home wants 4 parking spaces and a 2 car garage. It's just too much. If you ok this conditional use permit, you will be repeating the same destructive theme of towering buildings that block the views of this once majestic landscape, and more parking spaces where there used to be green space. I have met Lori and I believe she is sincere in her desire to want to do something for families with children struggling with cancer. There are other lots around the hospital that could be developed without causing further disruption in the landscape. There are also homes that will likely go up for sale in the next few years that would work very well for what she is proposing. But it is not at 15 Glacier View Drive. We have been pummelled enough. PLEASE grant us this one small request. Sincerely, Susan Cahill montanacahiII@yahoo.com 406-250-4594 To: Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission April 9th 2019 From: Neighbors of Grand View Heights. We are writing you to request that you do NOT approve the Application for a Conditional Use permit for 15 Glacier View Drive. While we believe that Lori Williamson's desire to create a community center for families of children in the hospital is a good one we do not want this community center in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood has been repeatedly negatively impacted by the hospital development. Please do not fragment it further. Printed Name Address !"
