NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. That pursuant to Section 76-1-604, M.C.A., the City Council of the City of Kalispell adopts the Kalispell City -County Master Plan, Year 2010, together with the amended map and with the changes and amendments hereinafter set forth. SECTION II. Under Chapter 7, Transportation, page 52 of the draft Kalispell City -County Master Plan the Section on Street Classifications shall be amended to read as follows: The streets and roads of a community should be coordinated to form a system that not only provides for efficient internal circulation, but also facilitates through traffic. Since streets .have two basic functions --moving traffic and pro- viding access to abutting land uses, each street should be classified and designed far the specific function or combination of functions that it is to serve. A functional classification forms the basis for planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the street system. Street classifi- cation can also serve as a basis for an equitable and practical method of allocating responsibility for street and road construction expenditures. For these reasons, the streets in the Planning Area should be designed and developed in a functional hierarchy comprising the following types. MAJOR ARTERIALS A major road or highway with moderate to fast speeds and high traffic volumes. Major arterials provide access to the regional transportation network. They move traffic across the county, between cities and communities and/or from one major part of the Planning Jurisdiction to another. In rural areas major arterials should have limited access and throughout the Planning Jurisdiction individual private accesses serving adjacent parcels should be discouraged. Traffic volumes would typi- cally exceed 8,000 vehicles per day. MINOR ARTERIALS. A major road with moderate speeds to collect or move traffic from one major part of the City or Planning Jurisdiction to another or to move traffic to or from major arterial systems. Traffic volumes would generally range from 3,000-8,000 vehicles per day. COLLECTORS. A secondary or intermediate street with moderate speeds and low to moderate volumes. Such streets would collect local traffic from neighborhoods and carry to adjacent neighborhoods or transfer the traffic to the arterial system. Such streets would typically serve a neighborhood or area of 150 or more dwellings or carry 1,000-3,000 vehicles per day. SECTION III. Under Chapter 7, Transportation, page 55, the draft Kalispell City -County Master Plan, Table 19, shall be amended to read as follows: RIGHT MINIMUM DESIRABLE TYPE OF FUNCTION OF PAVEMENT MAXIMUM OTHER STREET DESIGN FEATURES SPACING WAY WIDTH GRADES SPEED FEATURES Ma]OT Major traffic mover.

Under Chapter 7, Transportation, pp. 56 through 58, the list of "Arterial Streets", and "Collector Streets" shall be amended by replacing the listing of existing and proposed arterial streets and collector streets found on pages 56-58 with the following list of Major_ Arterials, Minor Arterials, and Collector Streets: Proposed Maior Arterial Street Svstem: U. S. Highway 93 (including Main Street) U. S.

S. 2 intersection. (Would involve either a new Meridian-Center-Appleway Intersection, possible - re -alignment of Appleway or construction of a new parallel road.) Woodland Avenue A new road extending Woodland Avenue north to the Seventh Avenue East North and Idaho Street Inter- section Willow Glen Drive Conrad Drive from Willow Glen Drive to a point generally south of the LaSalle-U. S. Highway 2 Intersection then generally north via a new road to the LaSalle -Highway 2 Intersection Cemetary Road then northwesterly along the BN right-of-way to Foys Lake Road Foys Lake Road between Meridian Road and Whalebone Drive Proposed Collector Street System West California Street between Highway 93 and Fifth Avenue West North East Oregon Street between Main Street and Whitefish Stage Road First Avenue East from Center Street to Highway 93 First Avenue West from Center Street to Eighteenth Street Eighteenth Street from First Avenue West to Third Avenue East -3- South Meadows Drive from Sunnyview Drive southward loop in to the east and connecting with Highway 93 Fifth Avenue West from California Street southwards to Sunnyside Drive Sunnyside Drive from proposed arterial along the Burlington Northern tracks to Fifth Avenue West Third Avenue East from West Oregon to Highway 93 Fourth Avenue East from West Oregon to Eleventh Street Kelly Road between U.S. Highway 93 and Willow Glen Drive South Woodland Drive between Woodland Avenue and Kelly Road Sunnyview Lane Four Mile Drive and Grandview Drive to be extended from Highway 93 to Whitefish Stage Road Evergreen Drive between Whitefish Stage Road and Helena Flats Road Northridge Drive to be extended westwards to Still- water Road Fox Hill Drive to be extended northwards to above mentioned extension and southwards to Two Mile Drive In Section 36, R22W, T29N, a road to be constructed approximately halfway between Reserve Drive and Four Mile.

Street Standards (Table 19) provides a guide for the design and function of new streets and highways. These standards should be considered when looking at improvements to the existing street system as well. Unfortunately, imposing new standards on an existing street system is not advisable in all cases. Many existing streets contain natural physical constraints, or existing development has precluded the ability to widen roads or acquire additional right-of-way. Two typical examples include the designated minor arterials of South Meridian Road and Willow Glen Drive. In such cases, compromise standards should be sought which insure that safety issues are met and the excessive costs of land acquisition and owner or building relocation are avoided. Furthermore, if major improvements or reconstruction is proposed on a particular collector or arterial street, a traffic study may be advisable moth to avoid unnecessary unforeseen future costs and to determine the advisa- bility of choosing an alternative or more effective route. It is important to remember that the Transportation Plan and the Map on page 3 illus- trating proposed traffic routes are not engineered solutions. Instead they provide desired routes intended to provide the optimum circulation pattern now and in the future.
