The applicant has applied to the City of Kalispell for a conditional use permit to allow the

The Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission, after due and proper notice, on

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.

Building Department to review the proposed addition and improvements.
4. Architectural renderings are required to be submitted to the Kalispell Architectural Review
Committee for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit.
To ensure the traffic flow and access comply with Kalispell Design and Construction Standards, as
well as compliance with other site development standards, the development shall receive Site
Review Committee approval prior to issuance of the building permit.
The northern existing driveway on North Meridian Road shall be removed and rebuilt to city
standards, including, but not limited to, a sidewalk matching the existing sidewalk on each side and
curb. gutter.
7. Glenwood Drive shall be upgraded to an urban local standard for the full length of the frontage. This

drainage, curb, gutter, boulevard and sidewalks. The sidewalk shall be extended through the
existing driveway per city standards.

property line along Glenwood. The screening shall include fencing and/or landscaping that meets
the approval of the Architectural Review Committee and the Parks Director. The rocked areas
along the entrance off of Glenwood shall incorporate landscaping as part of the overall buffering of
the property.
The purpose of the conditional use permit is to allow an addition to the building. Under the
ordinance, up to a 50% cumulative increase of the building is allowed with a conditional use permit
(applies to both building footprint and floor area). There was an administrative conditional use
permit issued in 2011 for a 1720 square foot storage building. The prior permit and the proposed
addition would utilize all of the allowable increase and no further additions will be allowed.
