However, the proposed subdivision will improve opportunities
to address existing problems relative to parking, drainage,
dust, and circulation—
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
The subdivision will not adversely affect wildlife or
habitat since the property is already fully developed.

drainage. Approval of the subdivision will
require drainage improvements to eliminate on -site
ponding of storm water.

There are no natural topographical features
remaining on the property. The low lying area
near the property's confluence with 18th Street
collects water and will need to be addressed in a
storm drainage plan.

Vegetation is generally absent f rom the property.
Some landscaping will be necessary in conjunction
with parking improvements.

Taxes will remain unchanged following subdivision.
Taxes for Lot 12 A and 12 B will be approximately
$2376.00 and $2774.00, respectively. The cost of
providing public services to the property is also
expected to remain constant.

(enrollment) impact to the school system.

This commercial subdivision will have no direct
demands for public recreation facilities.

circulation on the property may improve access and
response time to emergency situations.

The internal circulations at this time is not
properly marked and identified nor are the
circulati on areas paved. The preliminary plat
attempts to define a roadway and parking area but
the design is not in compliance to the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance or with the conditional use
permit that was issued for the Tachyon Building.

Both proposed lots are currently provided with
these services. Easements will be necessary for
any utilities that extend beyond lots lines. I

This service can be provided by the City of
Kalispell or by a private contract hauler.

notification of the pending subdivision. As such, no
notifications has been made and no one has commented on

The "public" need for the subdivision is not supported
by any information supplied by the applicant. It is
believed that the need to the landowner is "personal"
in that each existing use can be marketed with a
separate lot if the subdivision is approved.

Access: The Highway 93 approach will be affected with
the reconstruction of the highway.
