The RA-1 zone has a minimum lot size of 6000 square feet and has a maximum density of one dwelling unit per 3000 square feet.

Staff recommended that the Planning Board adopt the staff report as findings of fact and recommend to the Council that the request be granted subject to 5 listed conditions. One written public comment was received prior to the meeting and one verbal public comment was submitted at the hearing.

The public hearing was closed and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KCU-21-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the 5 conditions.

I live at 469 15Y Ave EN. I grew up 3 blocks from here and have been blessed to continue living in the Flathead Valley. I bought the house I am currently living in in 2017 and have completed an extensive remodel of the home. Currently I am looking into the possibility of building a small house behind my current house. The existing garage has seen better days and I want to replace this with a new living unit. This new unit will be about the same height as the existing house and positioned behind the house so that it is mostly hidden form 15Y Ave EN (see attached site plan). I am planning on providing 4 parking spots off the alley for the new unit and my existing house which will reduce issues with taking up more parking along 15Y Ave EN. The zoning in our neighborhood would allow me to build a duplex on my lot but in order to build two separate houses, which I propose, I have to apply for a conditional use permit from the City of Kalispell planning department. The planning department reviews all development that happens within the city to ensure it is in line with the current standards and maintain the integrity of Kalispell being a great place to work, play, and live in. As part of the conditional use permit, I will be submitting building plans showing the proposed unit as well as how the project will impact the neighborhood. Once I submit my application to the planning department, they will notify all property owners who live within 300 feet of my property to see if they have any comments or concerns. Those property owners and the general public will be invited to a public hearing held by the planning board to express any concerns. They can also write a letter before the public hearing. The planning board will then hold a public hearing, accept any public comments and make a recommendation to the city council. The city council will then review the project and make a final decision whether or not to approve the project or approve it with special conditions. I wanted to touch base with you, my neighbors, beforehand to let you know of my plans and find out if you had any concerns. With this letter I have attached plans of what I am hoping to build on the back half of my lot. I hope to submit this application to the planning department in March with planning board review in April. If all goes well my hope would be to break ground in mid -summer. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this please don't hesitate to stop by or give me a call and I would be excited to talk with you. Thanks, Patrick Jentz 471-0875 469 15Y Ave EN PATRICK JENTZ REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT #KCU-21-02 APRIL 7, 2021 This is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a conditional use permit for a second principal structure within an RA-1 (Residential Apartment) zone.

A conditional use permit may be granted only if the proposal, as submitted, conforms to all of the following general conditional use permit criteria, as well as to all other applicable criteria that may be requested. 3 1. Site Suitability: Adequate Useable Space: The subject property is one standard city lot, containing approximately 7000 square feet. The entire project site is generally flat with no significant impediments, thus leaving the entire site developable. When the project is submitted for a building permit, the specific layout of the site, including parking, will be addressed. b. Height, bulk and location of the building: The single family home is existing. An existing garage off of the alley will be removed in order to allow for the construction of the second principal structure, which will be about 900 square feet. There are no issues relating to height, bulk or location of the building in terms of setbacks, lot coverage, or other property development standards under RA-1 zoning. C. Adequate Access: The property has frontage on First Avenue EN, although the primary vehicular access is from the alley. The proposal calls for a paved parking area for four vehicles off of the alley. There is adequate access for the proposed additional unit. d. Environmental Constraints: There are no known environmental constraints, such as steep slopes, streams, floodplains, or wetlands on the property, which could affect the proposed use. 2. Appropriate Design: Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: The proposal calls for a paved parking area for four vehicles off of the alley. The zoning ordinance requires four parking spaces (two per 4 dwelling unit), each nine feet by twenty feet, for a total area of 36 feet in width and 20 feet in depth. There is adequate space for the parking needed to accommodate the proposed additional unit and meet the required five foot side setbacks. Single family and duplex uses are allowed to install parking immediately off of and backing into an alley. b. Lighting: Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor lighting on commercial or residential structures. Exterior lighting installed in conjunction with the project is required to meet the lighting standards. C. Traffic Circulation: Access to the property will be installed directly off of the alley in a typical residential configuration. d. Open Space: There are no open space requirements associated with this residential development per se, although there is a maximum lot coverage of 45% that can be covered with structures pursuant to the zoning ordinance. Fencing/Screening/Landscapinn : There are no screening or landscaping requirements associated with one and two family developments, although it is anticipated that typical residential landscaping, including lawn, will be installed/restored. f. Signage: There is no signage anticipated as part of this project. Any signage which may be used will need to comply with all of the sign standards as set forth in Chapter 27.22 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the project. b. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. Station 61 is approximately 0.7 miles from the subject property, giving good response time. The addition will be constructed subject to a building permit, ensuring that the addition will meet building and fire code standards. C. Water: City water is available and currently serves the property. A new service line will need to be installed to serve the second structure. d. Sewer: Sewer service is also available and currently serves the property. A new service line will need to be installed to serve the second structure. Storm Water Drainage: The design of the new structure will need to meet building code requirements. Under the code, there needs to be positive drainage away from the structure and steps taken to prevent diverting storm water across property lines. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City. 5 g. Streets: The street frontage is along First Avenue EN. No street improvements are necessary based on the impact of the project. h. Sidewalks: There is an existing sidewalk along the full frontage of the property along First Avenue EN that adequately serves the property. No additional sidewalk improvements are necessary. i. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District 95. It would be anticipated that one or fewer students on average would be attending a K-12 school. Parks and Recreation: No parkland or recreational amenities are required because the proposal is not a multi -family project or a residential subdivision with parkland requirements. 4. Neighborhood impacts: Traffic: There is minimal impact on traffic in connection with the proposed use, which adds one dwelling unit to the property. b. Noise and Vibration: The new structure will not create additional noise and vibration beyond what would be expected in a residential context. Dust, Glare, and Heat: The new structure will not create additional dust, glare or heat beyond what would be expected in a residential context. d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: The new structure will not create additional smoke, fumes, gas or odors beyond what would be expected in a residential context. Hours of Operation: There are no hours of operation as it is a residential use. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The property is located in an existing residential neighborhood near a commercial area along Highway 93. The neighborhood contains a mixture of single family and duplex uses. This particular block is intended per the zoning map to be a buffer area between commercial and single family uses to the east by allowing for multi -family uses as a transition. 6. Effects on property values: No significant impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the requested conditional use for the second structure/dwelling unit. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Kalispell Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-21-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: 2 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. 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. 2.

All disturbed areas shall be improved with appropriate landscaping (e.g. lawn) or other materials. 5. The new structure shall have separate water and sewer service lines installed per city standards. The applicable impact fees associated with the new service lines shall be paid by the applicant at the time the building permit is issued. 7 Kari Barnhart From: Lisa B Matzke <lisabmatzke@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, April 12, 2021 6:59 AM To: Kari Barnhart Subject: [EXTERNAL] Kalispell City Planning Board Meeting 4 13 2021 To Whom It May Concern: We are contacting you regarding one of the agenda items that will be up for discussion on Tuesday's meeting. This iterr is: File #KCU-21-02, which is a request for a conditional use permit to allow a second single-family structure on a lot within an RA-1 zone. We own a home across the street from this property and we would like to have on record that we strongly oppose this request. At this time, there are several rental homes on our block, one of which is already a multi dwelling rental. These numerous rentals have caused additional traffic on our residential street and a lack of parking due to the number of residents occupying these rental homes. We have found that the residents that occupy rentals in our area do not adequately take care of the properties, such as keeping up with lawn maintenance, winter sidewalk cleaning and general all around home maintenance. We are concerned that having additional rentals will decrease our property value immensely. Also, another valid concern is if the request is allowed for this property, it will open the opportunity for others to do the same thing in our neighborhood. We respectfully ask that you please take our concerns into consideration when making a decision on the request of this permit. Thank you, Vince and Lisa Matzke 480 1st Avenue East N Kalispell, MT 59901
