A RESOLUTION CONDITIONALLY APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE
AMENDED SUBDIVISION PLAT OF LOT 13, BUFFALO HEAD ADDITION NO. 92,
LOCATED IN SECTION 6, TOWNSHIP 28 NORTH, RANGE 21 WEST, P.N.M.,
FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA-
WHEREAS, Ernestine B. Anderson, the owner of Lot 13, Buffalo
Head Addition No. 92, Flathead County, Montana, has petitioned
for approval of the Amended Subdivision Plat of Lot 13, Buffalo
Head Addition No. 92, and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amended Subdivision Plat of Lot 13,

Section 2.7 (Summary Subdivision Review), Subdivision Regulations
of the City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has

weighing all public interest criterion set forth in Section
2.2(F)(3), Subdivision Regulations of the City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell has
reviewed the report of the Flathead Regional Development of f ice
and has found from the preliminary plat, and evidence, that the
subdivision is in the public interest, and
WHEREAS, the City. Council has based its public interest
findings upon the following findings of fact:
A. EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY:
The effects and/or impacts of five townhouse lots in the
area of Buffalo Head Addition No. 92 is expected to be
minimal relative to public health and safety. This
subdivision is within the jurisdiction of the Kalispell
police and fire departments. Emergency medical support is
located nearby at Kalispell Regional Hospital. The property
does not exhibit any natural hazards. The terrain is
relatively flat and the property is not within a designated
floodplain. Access is available via the platted road system
of Buffalo Head Addition No. 92. All roads have been paved
and found to be "acceptable' by previous subdivision
approvals in this area.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
The subject lot and subdivision is within the city limits of
Kalispell. The property is zoned for residential
development and has been develop�d accordingly. There is no
residual wildlife habitat of significant value.

C. EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
The property exhibits no unique natural features. The lot
is relatively flat and there are no unusual or significant
plant communities associated with the property. This lot
has already been committed to residential development by
previous subdivision approvals. There will be no additional
impact on the natural environment.
D. EFFECTS ON TAXATION:
For taxation purposes, Lot 13 is valued at approximately
$12,000. This translates to an annual tax of approximately
$200. With development of a townhouse unit on each of the
five sublots, annual taxes will likely approach $1,100 per
year per unit. This assumes a value of $60,000 to $65,000
per townhouse unit.
E. EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
1. SCHOOLS
Development of f ive townhouses is likely to contribute
no more than two school age children to the Kalispell
School District. It is possible that children from
this subdivision may have to be bussed to various
elementary schools for the purpose of equitably
distributing children throughout the elementary school
system.
2. PARKS AND RECREATION
The subdivision is within the platted subdivision of
Buffalo Head Addition No. 92. When this subdivision
was platted, it dedicated a large area for parkland and
for common area. The previous dedication exempts this
subdivision from additional parkland dedication
requirements. In addition to these on -site and
adjoining parkland areas, a developed playground area
is also available in the area of Parkview Terrace. No
additional recreational facilities are expected to be
necessary with the addition of five families in this
area of Kalispell.
3. FIRE PROTECTION
The subdivision will be served by the Kalispell Fire
Department. The department notes no particular
concerns with the ability to adequately serve the
proposed subdivision. .1
Resolution No. 4048--Page 2 of 4
M
4. POLICE PROTECTION
The Kalispell Police Department can adequately serve
the additional five townhouse units. No additional
manpower or equipment will be necessary.
5. ROADS
The roads of Buffalo Head Addition No. 92 have already
been built and no additional roads will be necessary to
serve the demands of the five additional units. The
private drive that provides access to Lot 13 loops to
Ponderosa Street which has primary and secondary access
onto Grandview Drive.
6. WATER
The subdivision will have five individual service lines
connected to a 611 water main that follows along the
private drive. The associated infrastructure is
adequate to serve the needs of the individual units.
7. SEWER
An 811 sanitary sewer main follows along the private
drive. A service line has been extended to an area
outside of the paved portion of the roadway. Service
lines will extend from this existing sewer stub in a
manifold type fashion. This design has been approved
by the Public Works Department.
8. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
Existing medical facilities in Kalispell will be able
to accommodate the medical needs and emergencies of the
residents of this subdivision.
EFFECTS ON AGRICULTURE:
The townhouse development is located within an approved
residential subdivision and will have no direct or indirect
impacts on agricultural activities.
EXPRESSED PUBLIC OPINION:
The proposed five lot subdivision is reviewed as a minor
plat and, therefore, public noticing requirements are not
necessary. To date, no one has expressed a comment on the
proposed subdivision.

NEED FOR SUBDIVISION:
The Flathead economy, in general, appears to be on the
upturn and there appears a general lack of low to moderate
priced housing in and around the Kalispell area. The
proposed townhouse development will likely satisfy an unmet
demand for this type of housing.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF
KALISPELL, MONTANA:
SECTION 1.

B.
Anderson for approval of the Amended Subdivision of Lot
