KALISPELL, MONTANA:
SECTION I. That the application of Ernestine B.
Anderson for approval of the Amended Subdivision of Lot 5
of Buffalo Head Addition No. 92, a proposal to create five
sublots on Lot 5, Buffalo Head Addition No. 92, located in
Section 6, T28N, R21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana is
hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
1. That the subdivision gain approval to file plat from the
State Department of Health and Environmental Sciences.
2. That the "Common Area" of the subdivision be
proportionately distributed to each townhouse lot for taxing
purposes.
3. That two off-street parking spaces be provided on -site
for each townhouse lot.
4. That the unit density be in compliance with the recorded
covenants.
SECTION 11. That this preliminary plat approval is
effective for a period of one year following passage of
this Resolution.
SECTION III. That upon proper review and filing of the
final plat of said subdivision in the office of the Flathead
