Kalispell City Council that the property be annexed and the zoning for the

BOARD DISCUSSION
Young asked if there was already a sewer and water extension under
Highway 93. Nygren confirmed that there is. Young asked to see where
this property is in correlation to Eagle Valley Ranch, a subdivision about
a half a mile north. Nygren showed the board via Google Maps where it
is located as well as where it falls within the annexation boundary.
Nygren advised the board that there has been discussion with other
nearby properties about annexing into the city as well. Graham feels this
annexation makes sense because it is in the annexation boundary and it is
something the city has planned for.
