Adequate Useable Space: The subject property is approximately 5.82 acres. The majority of the project site is relatively flat with no significant impediments. The eastern portion of the property is on a slope (20-25%) which does limit development to a degree. The two buildings on the eastern side of the property will require some excavation into the slope and are being located as far to the west as possible to minimize disturbance of the slope. A Geotech report was prepared by Alpine Geotechnical in October 2021 that details recommendations for the site, including foundation design. The report should be expanded to ensure that the excavation does not impact the highway above the site. Design standards in the zoning ordinance would apply setbacks and lot coverage standards, which can be met. Parking design will be reviewed as part of the building permit and site review process to ensure compliance with the zoning ordinance. b. Height, bulk and location of the building: The proposed multi -family project meets the required setbacks and is well under the maximum allowed lot coverage. The RA- 2 zone also limits the maximum height to 45 feet and the proposed buildings are about 41-43 feet tall. Verification of all these standards would occur during building permit review and site review. 5 C. Adequate Access: The primary access for the development will be North Meridian Road. The development also has a second access onto Underhill Court at the southeastern comer of the development. Both Meridian and Underhill are city streets which connect with the overall transportation system. A Traffic Impact Study ("TIS") was prepared as part of the project. The TIS recommended that the approximately 120-foot road extension from Underhill Court connecting with the development "be improved to facilitate two-way traffic per city standards." Additionally, "a stop sign should be installed by the developer on the southbound Underhill Court approach at West Arizona Street to provide positive intersection control and improve safety at this location." All recommendations in the TIS should be implemented. d. Environmental Constraints: There are no known environmental constraints, such as streams, floodplains, or wetlands on the area of the property proposed for development which could affect the proposed use. There are steep slopes on the eastern portion of the site that are noted above. 2. Appropriate Design: Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: The off-street parking requirement for multi -family dwellings is 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit with one or more bedrooms. There are a total of 138 units proposed, which would equate to 207 required parking spaces. The project would include bike racks at each building, which would allow for a reduction of up to 5%, or 10 spaces. The site plan currently shows 191 spaces and the remaining difference will need to be addressed during the building and site review process. 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 development will be reviewed for compliance with the zoning ordinance during site development review. 2 C. Traffic Circulation: As noted above, the primary access will be from Meridian Road with a second access to Underhill Court. On -site traffic circulates through parking facilities that will need to be designed to meet city standards. Included within the design would be access for solid waste collection by the city as well as fire access. d. Open Space: There are no specific open space requirements, although open space is provided. Under the zoning ordinance, 500 square feet of land with recreational value per unit or the equivalent value in amenities shall be provided, which would be a total of 1.59 acres. The proposed layout includes BBQ/picnic areas for the residents as well as a clubhouse, playground, and game area. The specific plans for the recreational component will be reviewed during the building permit and site review processes. e. Fencing/Screening/Landscaping: The site plan provides landscaping in regard to parking, buffering, and open space. The application states that as the project is "developed further during design, other types of shrubs and grasses will be incorporated into the plan to provide a layered aspect of screening to aesthetically enhance the site perimeter as well as areas adjacent to the parking." To ensure the property is fully landscaped and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, a final landscape plan should be submitted along with the building permit which includes additional landscape buffering, particularly along the property line adjacent to single-family homes to the south. The landscape plan shall be approved by the Parks and Recreation Department as well as the Architectural Review Committee prior to issuance of the building permit. f. Si�gna _e: The development shall 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: a. 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. Fire hydrant(s) will be located as required by the Fire Chief. There is adequate access to the property from the public road system with the second access. The buildings will be constructed to meet current building and fire safety code standards. Station 61 is approximately 1.25 miles from the subject property giving good response time. C. Water: City water is available and would serve the property. There is an existing main at the southeast comer of the property within Underhill Court. This main is in the City's upper pressure zone and will need to loop to the upper pressure zone main located to the north of the site adjacent to Meridian Road. The main will extend through the development and tie back into the main near the Meridian entrance to UPS. The connection to Meridian should be made through the access approach. It will also need to tie into the main in Underhill Court. Each building will have a 7 domestic and a fire connection. The location of the hydrant(s) will be determined by the Fire Chief. d. Sewer: There is an existing sewer main at the southwest corner of the property as well as within Underhill Court. Based on site grading, both connections will be utilized to serve the property. Final design will need to be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department and will need to take final grading into account. H Storm Water Drainage: Storm water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed per the City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. It is anticipated that the site will utilize on -site detention and treatment before discharging into the city storm water main in Meridian Road. Final design will be approved by Kalispell Public Works Department prior to building permit issuance. Prior to receiving a building permit, the developer will also need to submit a construction storm water management plan to the Public Works Department. This plan will need to show how storm water will be treated and where it will be directed during construction activities. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City. The application indicates screened trash enclosures will be installed. Prior to building permit issuance, the number and location of these trash enclosures will need to be approved by Public Works. Streets: The d Underhill Court. evelopment would have access points at Meridian Road as well as Both Meridian and Underhill are existing public streets designed to travelling public. The connection to Meridian would be with a driveway connection perpendicular to the road. No improvements to Meridian Road would be necessary other than restoring the curb cuts once removed. The connection to Underhill would entail an improvement of an existing public right-of- way that contains an extension of about 120 feet from the northwest corner of Underhill proper. The right- of-way width, which is owned by the City of Kalispell, is 51 feet and a modified local street profile will be utilized to fit within the right-of-way with a reduced boulevard section (28 foot travel surface, curb/gutter, 4.5 foot boulevard, and 5 foot sidewalks). Per the TIS, a stop sign would also be added at the intersection of Underhill and West Arizona Street, and that requirement should apply to both intersections of the two streets. 0 4. 155 155 355 2 7 �3 8 D• CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY j hW ey G UNDERHILL CT 635 1 2 2 n �O L 6 �+ 4 3 h. Sidewalks: The zoning ordinance requires a pedestrian connection to the public sidewalk for multi -family dwellings. Connections to both the existing sidewalk in Meridian and the new sidewalks as part of the Underhill extension would be required. i. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District 95. An impact to the district may be anticipated from the proposed development depending on the demographics of the residents. On average, 69 students (K-12) would be anticipated from 138 dwelling units. j. Parks and Recreation: Section 27.34.060 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance requires 1.59 acres of land or the equivalent value of improvements as recreational amenities for the 138-unit development based on a ratio of 500 square feet of usable land per dwelling unit. The existing layout includes BBQ/picnic areas for the residents as well as a clubhouse, playground, and game area. The specific plans for the recreational component will be reviewed during the building permit and site review processes. Neighborhood impacts: a. Traffic: A Traffic Impact Study ("TIS") was prepared and recommended a connection with Underhill Court and a stop sign at the intersection of Underhill Court and West Arizona Street. Those recommendations will be implemented as part of the development plan. b. Noise and Vibration: The development of the property as multi -family residential will create minimal additional noise and vibration. While any development of the property 9 from vacant land will increase the amount of noise, the expected level would be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. C. Dust, Glare, and Heat: The use of the property as multi -family residential would not generate any unreasonable dust, glare, and heat other than during construction. d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: The development of the property as multi -family residential will create minimal additional smoke, fumes, gas and odors. Hours of Operation: As the property is proposed for residential use, there will be no hours of operation, although there will be people residing on the premises 24-hours a day. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The general area is a mix of a wide range of different uses. To the north is an industrial zone which is the UPS location, including a recent significant expansion of the facility. The primary use to the south is Meridian Pointe Apartments, as well as a number of single-family residences on Underhill Court and West Arizona Street. Across Meridian Road are a mix of offices and single-family residences. The proposed development will be a compatible use within the area and will act as a buffer between the residential and commercial/industrial properties in the vicinity. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the requested conditional use of the property. It can be assumed that property values will increase since city services to the property are being added and the property is currently undeveloped. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report #KCU-21-11 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 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.

Project Overview The Junegrass Place is envisioned as a multihousehold workforce housing community. The overall design intent seeks to create a mix of affordable rental options within a quality walkable neighborhood that fosters a sense of community around shared recreations space and in proximity to jobs and services. The proposed project includes eight (8) buildings situated on the 5.86 acre site, which lies within the RA-2 zoning district. This project has numerous constraints due to its unique shape, proximity to existing roadways, and site topography. The proposed project will capitalize on these challenges and use the site's attributes to create a vibrant, diverse, and affordable neighborhood. { � (24) G[ B ILDI G O (24) C- _ L J 0 j (24 (1z) C d 1`Lr „.._ Liberty Street III. Site Conditions Surrounding land uses k7 Underhill Court The subject property is located in the RA-2 Zoning district and is surrounded on three sides by this zoning district. To the west is a row of R-5 parcels and currently there is a single family housing neighborhood that has been constructed in this area. To the south of this property there is an existing multifamily housing development as well as a single family home neighborhood. To the north is the UPS facility, which is currently under construction. To the east, the project lot is bordered by Sunset Boulevard. Dimensions and Shape of Lot October 2021 The subject site is a combination of four (4) lots that total 5.82 Acres. Please see Civil Survey (Appendix E) for all existing lot dimensions. Topographic Features There is a signification grade change starting to the east at Sunset Boulevard. The site slopes to the west away from Sunset Boulevard. To mitigate for this site constrain we are proposing to build a 20-unit building and a 10unit building into the hill. Building these buildings into the hill allows us to share the cost of a retaining wall with livable space. These 20 and 10 unit buildings are variations of the same 24 and 12 unit building located onsite with the units on the upside of the hill being eliminated. Please see the Civil site plan and architectural site plan showing how we have chosen to mitigate the steep topography. Size and Location of Existing Buildings There are currently two single family homes both on separate lots, and each home has several outbuildings. Both homes and all out buildings will be demolished to accommodate the proposed development. Please see the Civil Survey (Appendix E) for more information. Proposed Uses of Structures and Open Areas There are eight (8) total buildings proposed to be constructed on this site. There are four (4) 24- unit buildings and one (1) 12-unit buildings. Additionally, there is a one (1) 20-unit building and one (1) 10-unit building. The 20-unit building and the 10-unit building, architecturally, are the same buildings as a 24-unit and 12-unit buildings but they are built into the hill causing a loss of the ground floor units on the uphill side of the building. Furthermore, a community building is October 2021 planned for this site that will house the leasing offices as well as provide a gathering space for residents use. The project team is also looking to incorporate a play area on the northeast side of the site adjacent to the community building. In our neighborhood outreach, conducted on July 22, public comments received indicated that green space and playgrounds were an important component to try and incorporate into our design. The project team has taken these comments into consideration for the site design. Please see the landscaping plan for more detail on the proposed programing of the open spaces. Existing and Proposed Parking Loading Both existing homes have garages and additional off street parking spaces. Please refer to the Civil Survey (Appendix E) documenting the existing conditions. Our project proposes to distribute parking equally throughout the site allowing the residents the opportunity to park close to their home. Please refer to the access and circulation section below for more information on the proposed parking locations. Existing and Proposed Garbage Collection, Street & Utilities Both existing homes have a drive access onto Meridian Road. Our proposal is to consolidate those access into one access that will be located near our southern property line. Please see our Architectural Site Plan for more detail on the proposed accesses. Both homes appear to be connected to all utilities as shown in the civil survey. All of our proposed buildings will be connected to the necessary utilities. Please see the utilities section below for more information on the proposed utility layouts. It is unclear how the current existing homes are serviced by garbage collection but several locations have been selected on the proposed layout for garbage pickup while it is yet to be determined if the means will be front loaded dumpsters or side load cans. Please refer to the section below for more detail about the proposed garbage locations. Adjacent sidewalks & Bike Trails Please see Pedestrian Access Exhibit (Appendix H) showing all adjacent sidewalks, bike trails, multiuse paths and signalized crossings in the vicinity to our proposed neighborhood. Traffic Flow and Control The site is bordered on the west by Meridian Road, and on the east by US-93. There is no access to US-93 directly to the site, but it can be accessed via Underhill Court and Arizona Street. The primary access point of the site will be Meridian Road where Northbound traffic has an easy right turn out of the development and southbound traffic can pull out into the existing center turn lane on Meridian. This is proposed as a stop -controlled intersection. Traffic leaving via Underhill Court can make a left onto US-93 (northbound) via Arizona Street or drive through the neighborhoods to use the signalized intersection at Wyoming Street and US-93. Widening October 2021 Looking East off Meridian Road. Underhill Court is being recommended based on the increase in traffic and its anticipated use. The full traffic impact study has been included along with recommendations in Appendix G. Generally, the site is well served by sidewalks and the City's greater multi use path system. Based on Zillow Walkability Scores, it is estimated to be approximately a 50, defined as "somewhat walkable." There is a grocery store (Albertson's) within 3/ miles from the property as well as a convenience store approximately 200 ft north of the site. Both can be accessed via sidewalks and signal controlled intersections or via bike lane on Meridian Road. Bikers have quick access to bike lanes along Meridian Road which can take them north to Logan Health or FVCC or South to the Parkline Trail and greater multi use path system. This multi -use path system can also be accessed via Three Mile Drive by bike lane to sidewalk/multiuse path. Additionally, the site is within the service area for the "Mountain Climber" bus service. This bus system currently operates as an on -demand service (like a shared uber ride) between the hours of 7am to 6pm with passes available or single fares. Exhibits depicting both Mountain Climber Service Area (Appendix 1) and Pedestrian Network (Appendix H) are included. Access and Circulation Interior to the site, a main 24-foot wide minimum access road has been proposed from Meridian Road through to Underhill Court. Several parking access roads are provided separately and separated via landscape islands all of which are also a minimum 24-foot wide. The main road has been sized to accommodate the City of Kalispell's ladder fire truck with a 22-foot wheel base October 2021 and an outer swing radius of 48 feet. The preliminary engineering plans along with an exhibit showing the truck's movements through the site has been included in Appendix X3. All buildings are accessible within 100 ft of fire truck access and the trucks can enter or leave from either entrance on the site. Pedestrian access interior to the site is provided by seven -foot -wide sidewalks adjacent to the buildings and five-foot sidewalks in other locations of the property. When fully designed, these will be ADA accessible to allow residents to reach recreational opportunities within the development, garbage locations, and mailboxes. These facilities are included with the plans in Appendix H and I. Off-street Parking & Loading The proposed apartment layout consists of eight buildings with 138 units with 191 stalls being provided. Per city of Kalispell standards, the proposed number of units has a parking requirement of 207 parking stalls (1.5 per unit). Given site constraints, specifically a steep (20-25%) hillside on the eastern portion of the property, two reductions are being requested for parking. The first is a 5% reduction for providing bike racks, which would reduce the site requirements to 197 stalls. Bike racks will be provided at each building to achieve this reduction All proposed parking is accessed via 24-foot wide private access roads and are 20' x 9' stalls. In areas where proposed stalls are adjacent to buildings and seven -foot sidewalks, the stalls are proposed as 18' x 9' considering the curb as a wheel stop with a two foot front overhang. Each building will have a minimum of one ADA stall and a van stall is proposed at the clubhouse (8 stalls total) which exceeds ADA Standards. Refuse/Garbage Collection and Service Areas - City of Kalispell or Evergreen Disposal Several sites have been located on the proposed layout for garbage pickup through a combination of front loaded dumpsters and side load cans. Given the density and site constraints, multiple pickups a week will be required. Discussions with both City of Kalispell Public works and Evergreen disposal have taken place, and the site is within both of their service areas, and both provide multiple pickup options. Utilities Water — City of Kalispell The property will be served with city of Kalispell water. There is an existing main at the southeast corner of the property at the current termination of Underhill court. This main is in the upper pressure zone and based on discussions with City of Kalispell will need to loop to the upper pressure zone main located just north of the site adjacent to meridian road. The water will be extended through the development and tied back into the main near the Meridian entrance of the UPS facility. Each building will have a domestic connection and a fire connection. A preliminary water layout has been included in the Civil Plan Set. October 2021 10 Sewer — City of Kalispell There is an existing 8" City of Kalispell sewer main stubbed to the property in the southwest corner and another where the site is accessed via Underhill Court. Given the site's grade, the gravity sewer system will be divided in two separate gravity lines that will flow either toward the main at Underhill or to the main adjacent to Meridian. Dry Utilities — Multiple Providers Power, gas, and communication are all available at the property adjacent to Meridian Road within the existing 10 foot utility easement. Gas is also located at Underhill Court allowing for a looped service. the following service providers: Power: Flathead Electric Co -Op Gas: Northwestern Energy Communications: Charter Communications Screen and Buffering The screening and buffering are provided by a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees to provide seasonal interest and are shown on the preliminary landscape plan included in the Civil Plan Set Sheet 6. As this is developed further during design, other types of shrubs and grasses will be incorporated into the plan to provide a layered aspect of screening to aesthetically enhance the site perimeter as well as areas adjacent to the parking. Signs, Yards & Other Open Spaces There are currently no planned project signs. In the event a project sign is desired we understand that a sign permit application and review will be required. There are three main areas designated as active open space. Two areas between the 24-unit buildings on the south which will be set up as flex space with Picnic/barbeque areas to allow for small quiet gatherings or yard type activities. Each of these locations are approximately 2,500 square feet (0.05 acres). The third area is located centrally to the site on the north side of the property which includes a clubhouse a playground and a game area. This third area is approximately 13,000 square feet (0.30 acres). All open space areas can be accessed via sidewalks and will be ADA accessible (0.40 acres total active open space). Passive open space is included throughout the site as well, primarily located on the hillside at the east end of the property. This area isn't really usable due to the slope but will remain undeveloped and is approximately 40,000 square feet (0.91 acres). October 2021 11 Open space areas are shown on the Civil Plan Set Sheet 6. Height, Bulk and Location of Structures There are 5 different building types proposed on this site. There are four (4) 24-unit buildings that are a mix of 12 one -bedrooms, 12 two -bedrooms, and 6 three -bedrooms. These structures will stand 43' tall (3 stories) and be approximately 25,800 gross square feet. There are two (2) 12- unit buildings that contain a mix of 6 one -bedrooms, and 6 two -bedrooms. Theses structures will stand 41' (3 stories) and will be approximately 12,000 gross square feet. The 20-unit building be a mix of 10 one -bedrooms, 12 two -bedrooms and 4 three -bedrooms. These structures will stand 43' tall (3 stories) and be approximately 21,286 gross square feet. The 10-unit building contain a mix of 5 one -bedrooms, and 5 two -bedrooms. Theses structures will stand 41' (3 stories) and will be approximately 10,211 gross square feet. The community building will be located in the center of the site and will house three rental offices as well as a community gathering space. In total this structure will be approximately 1,800 square feet and will be 24' tall. Location of Proposed Open Space Uses Open space is proposed in between each building and a larger community open space is proposed on the north side of the site. Please see the section "Signs, Yards & Other Open Spaces" above for a more detailed description of the open space. Additionally, please see the Landscape plan located in the Civil Plan Set, Sheet 6. Hours of operation The hours of operation for the leasing office is yet to be determined. The other residential uses will not have hours of operation. Noise, Light, Dust, Odors, Fumes, Vibration, Glare and Heat There is no anticipated negative impact by this project on noise, light, dust, odors, fumes, vibration, glare and heat beyond what is typical for a residential neighborhood. Storm Drainage - City of Kalispell/Private The existing site has a drain system that ties into Meridian Road's trunkline collection system located at a low-lying area on the west edge of the site. This trunkline travels south on Meridian before turning west and discharging into Spring Creek. The site will utilize this connection point and reduce runoff flows via two separate but connected detention systems. Runoff from the buildings and parking from the upper portions of the site will be collected and conveyed to an underground detention system located somewhat central to the site. This will require a water quality unit in advance of the storage system and an outlet control structure. From here it will discharge to the second collection system which will collect building and parking runoff at the lower parts of the site. A second water quality structure will be placed upstream of the four -foot - deep pond, and a second flow control structure will be placed downstream of the pond before October 2021 12 discharging to the existing 36" RCP conveyance system. All flows leaving the site will be detained to their existing condition per City of Kalispell Design and Construction Standards. Fire/Police Police protection is intended to be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. Fire protection is intended to be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. There is proper ingress and egress for the site. Finally all the residential buildings will be serviced with adequate fire suppression systems. The project site lies within the existing service boundaries for these City services. Additional Supplements as Required by the Planning Department No supplements were requested by the Planning Department during or in follow up to the Pre - Application Meeting.

The proposed development will consist of 144 apartments (see Figure 2). Full buildout of the development is expected to require three years. Accordingly, the design year for this traffic analysis is 2024. Vehicle access to the development is proposed via one full -movement driveway onto North Meridian Road and the extension of Underhill Court, which leads to a full -movement intersection with West Arizona Street. The subject property currently consists of a few single-family homes which will be removed to make way for this project and is otherwise undeveloped. It is surrounded by a mix of commercial, offices, multi- family residential, and single-family residential. This traffic impact study was prepared using standard traffic engineering techniques to forecast traffic volumes and operations at the proposed site access points and nearby study intersections. Capacity analysis is presented both with and without the traffic generated by the proposed development to determine what impact this development will have on traffic operations. After consultation with the City of Kalispell the following intersections were identified for detailed traffic analysis: 1. Underhill Court and West Arizona Street 2. 5th Ave W N and West Arizona Street 3. Sunset Blvd (US 93) and West Arizona Street 4. North Meridian Road and Site Driveway In brief, the analysis conducted for this report leads to the conclusion that the subject development will not negatively impact traffic operations at any of the study intersections and that traffic to and from the proposed development will operate at an acceptable level of service. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 1 FIGURE 2: CONCEPTUAL SITE LAYOUT Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 3 0 EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES AM and PM peak -period manual traffic counts were conducted to identify peak existing traffic volumes at the study intersections on Wednesdays and Thursdays in July 2021. The AM peak -period counts were conducted between 7:00 and 9:00 AM and the PM peak -period counts were conducted between 4:00 and 6:00 PM. The count data (included in Appendix A) was analyzed to determine the existing AM and PM peak -hour traffic volume at each study intersection. The existing peak -hour traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 3. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 4 LYGENr •+� ' �. t f p 'y T!1#LL MILL .4 L 1 i F •i y -,per} • . i I r � ram._ ■ ",� t 47 0 2024 NO -BUILD TRAFF ' VOLUMEc The year 2021 existing traffic volumes were projected to the study year 2024 using a 2% per year peak hour traffic growth rate. This growth rate was selected based on traffic growth trends apparent within historic traffic count data contained on the MDT web site for West Arizona Street and North Meridian Road in the vicinity of the subject property. The 2024 No Build traffic volumes are shown in Figure 4. This is the traffic projected to exist in the study year if the proposed Junegrass Apartments development is not constructed. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 6 FIGURE 4: 2024 NO BUILD PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 0 SITE -GENERATED TRAFFIC The proposed Junegrass Apartments development is anticipated to consist of 144 apartments in mid -rise buildings three stories tall. Data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication I[ii Generation (10th Edition) was used to estimate the number of trips that will be generated by the proposed development. Table 1 shows the results of the Junegrass Apartments development trip -generation calculations. TABLE 1: JUNEGRASS APARTMENTS SITE -GENERATED VEHICLE TRIPS Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I $ 0 ASSIGNMENT OF SITE -GENERA TEI-) TRIPS The existing peak hour turning movement volumes at the study intersections were analyzed to determine trip directionality throughout the study area. Trip distribution at the site access points was estimated based on the distribution of development within the site relative to the site access locations. The resulting site traffic arrival and departure patterns are illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, respectively. The site -generated vehicle trips from Table 1 were distributed through the study intersections in accordance with the estimated arrival and departure patterns, resulting in the AM and PM peak -hour site -generated trips shown in Figure 7. These are the vehicle trips that are new to the roadway network as a result of development of the Junegrass Apartments development. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 9 FIGURE 7: SITE GENERATED PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I12 0 2024 BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES Combining the site -generated trips from Figure 7 with the 2024 no -build traffic volumes from Figure 4 results in the projected study year 2024 build traffic volumes shown in Figure 8. These are the traffic volumes projected to exist when the Junegrass Apartments development is fully built -out and occupied. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 13 FIGURE 8; 2024 BUILD PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 14 0 CAPACITY ANALYSIS Intersection capacity analysis was conducted for each of the study intersections in accordance with the procedures presented in the Highway Capacity Manual, 2016 Edition, published by the Transportation Research Board. The analysis results are discussed below and the analysis worksheets are contained in Appendix B. The analysis procedures result in traffic level of service (LOS) rankings from A to F, with A representing essentially free -flow conditions and F representing congested conditions. See Appendix C for a description of the various LOS categories for unsignalized intersections. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 15 INTERSECTION OF NORTH MERIDIAN ROAD AND SITE ACCESS EXISTING CONDITIONS North Meridian Road is a north/south minor arterial roadway with one travel lane in the northbound direction, two travel lanes in the southbound direction, and a center two-way left -turn lane. The proposed site driveway will intersect North Meridian Road at a full movement, stop controlled intersection from the east. The speed limit on North Meridian Road is 30 mph. CAPACITYANALYSIS Capacity analysis of this intersection was conducted using the 2024 build traffic volumes developed earlier in this report and the above -described intersection configuration. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 2. TABLE 2: NORTH MERIDIAN ROAD AND SITE ACCESS LOS SUMMARY Delay is measured in seconds per vehicle. The analysis summarized in Table 2 shows that the intersection will operate at a good level -of - service. No capacity improvements are required to accommodate the site -generated traffic. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 16 INTERSECTION OF WEST ARIZONA STREET AND UNDERHILL COURT EXISTING CONDITIONS West Arizona Street is an east/west local roadway with one travel lane in each direction. Underhill Court, a local roadway, intersects West Arizona Street from the north at an uncontrolled "T" intersection. There are no posted speed limits on either of these neighborhood roadways. CAPACITYANALYSIS Capacity analysis of this intersection was conducted using the 2024 no -build and build traffic volumes developed earlier in this report and the above -described intersection configuration. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 3. TABLE 3: WEST ARIZONA STREET AND UNDERHILL COURT LOS SUMMARY Delay is measured in seconds per vehicle. The analysis summarized in Table 3 shows that the site -generated traffic will have no impact on delay or operations at this intersection. A stop sign should be installed by the developer on the southbound Underhill Court approach to provide positive intersection control and improve safety at this location. As it exists there is an approximately 120' road extension from Underhill Court proper extending to the north towards the proposed development. It is suggested this existing extension be improved to facilitate two-way traffic per the City of Kalispell standards. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 17 INTERSECTION OF WEST ARIZONA STREET AND 5T" AVE WN EXISTING CONDITIONS West Arizona Street is an east/west local roadway with one travel lane in each direction and 5th Ave W N is a north/south local roadway with one travel lane in each direction. 5th Ave W N intersects West Arizona Street from the south at a "T" intersection, with stop control on both West Arizona Street approaches. The speed limit is not posted on either of these neighborhood roadways. CAPACITYANALYSIS Capacity analysis of this intersection was conducted using the 2024 no -build and build traffic volumes developed earlier in this report and the above -described intersection configuration. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 4. TABLE 4: WEST ARIZONA STREET AND 5T" AVE W N LOS SUMMARY Delay is measured in seconds per vehicle. The analysis summarized in Table 4 shows that the site -generated traffic will have no impact on delay or operations at this intersection. No intersection improvements are required. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 18 INTERSECTION OF WEST ARIZONA STREET AND SUNSET BOULEVARD (US 93) EXISTING CONDITIONS West Arizona Street is an east/west local roadway with one travel lane in each direction and no posted speed limit. West Arizona Street intersects Sunset Boulevard (US Highway 93) from the west at stop controlled, "T" intersection at an angle of approximately 45-degrees. Sunset Boulevard is a north/south principal arterial with two travel lanes in each direction and a center two-way left -turn lane. The speed limit on Sunset Boulevard is 35 mph. CAPACITYANALYSIS Capacity analysis of this intersection was conducted using the 2024 no -build and build traffic volumes developed earlier in this report and the above -described intersection configuration. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 5. TABLE 5: WEST ARIZONA STREET AND SUNSET BOULEVARD (US 93) LOS SUM Eastbound 1 23.3 1 C 1 20.8 1 C 1 89.6 1 F 1 102.6 1 F Northbound 1 9.1 1 A 9.2 A 14.1 B 14.5 B Delay is measured in seconds per vehicle. The analysis summarized in Table 5 shows that while the eastbound leg of the intersection is already at or below a LOS C in the no -build condition, the site -generated traffic will have little impact on delay or operations at this intersection. The site contributes only 30 peak -hour vehicles to this intersection and fewer than five vehicles on the critical left -turn movement from the side street. No intersection improvements are required to mitigate site traffic. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 19 0 TRAFFIC CRASH ANALYSIS WGM Group requested three years of data from the MDT Crash Database for the intersections included in this study. Data from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 was reviewed and findings are summarized below. North Meridian Road — between Three Mile Drive and Liberty Street: Eight crashes were recorded in the three-year period consisting of three right angle collisions; two sideswipe same direction collisions; one fixed object collision; one bicycle collision; and one rear end collision. Seven of the collisions were property damage only crashes, while the bicycle collision had a suspected minor injury. Underhill Court and West Arizona Street: No crashes were recorded at this intersection during the three year period studied. 5t" Avenue West North and West Arizona Street: One crash was recorded in the three-year period consisting of a non -injury fixed object collision. US Highway 93/Sunset Boulevard and West Arizona Street: Five crashes were recorded in the three-year period consisting of one rear -end; three fixed object collisions; and one left turn, same direction collision. The rear -end collision severity was a suspected serious injury, and the other four collisions were property damage only severity. No correctable traffic crash trends were observed in the reviewed data. Junegrass Apartments Traffic Impact Study I 20 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS The discussion and analyses contained in this report can be summarized as follows: • The proposed Junegrass Apartments development is located to the east of North Meridian Road, north of West Arizona Street, and west of Sunset Boulevard in Kalispell, Montana. The proposed development will consist of 144 apartments in a series of four-story buildings. • Vehicle access to the development is proposed from one full -movement driveway approach onto North Meridian Road and the extension of Underhill Court, which leads to a full -movement intersection with West Arizona Street. • A stop sign should be installed by the developer on the southbound Underhill Court approach at West Arizona Street to provide positive intersection control and improve safety at this location. • As it exists there is an approximately 120' road extension from Underhill Court proper extending to the north towards the proposed development. It is suggested this existing extension be improved to facilitate two-way traffic per the City of Kalispell standards. • The proposed development will generate new traffic within the study area. Highway Capacity Manual based analysis shows that this traffic can be readily accommodated, with no appreciable impact on delay or operations at all of the study intersections during both the AM and PM peak hours. • Three years of crash data was reviewed for each of the study intersections.

Minor movements are those entering from or exiting onto the stop -controlled side street(s). LOS is not defined for the intersection as a whole, but rather for each minor movement individually. The delay value used in determining LOS is known as "control delay." Control delay is defined as the total delay experienced by a driver and includes initial deceleration delay, queue move -up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay. The delay a vehicle experiences is a function of the capacity of the approach and the degree of saturation on the uncontrolled (unstopped) roadway (i.e. the number of acceptable gaps in the passing traffic stream). LOS values range from A to F. The delay range for each LOS value is as shown in the following table.

The following presents a summary of key geotechnical considerations and recommendations: Typical subsurface conditions across the majority of the site include topsoil/organic matter atop either lean clay, silt, or sand within the upper portion of the profile. Along the eastern portion of the property moving uphill towards Sunset Blvd, the subsurface conditions consist primarily of glacial till, or gravelly silt with sand. Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from about 16.0 to 19.9 feet below grade at the time of the field investigation. Foundations can be established on properly prepared native lean clay or gravelly silt (glacial till) subgrade if present at foundation depth. The allowable bearing pressure for direct bearing on native lean clay (Area A) is 2,000 pounds per square foot. The allowable bearing pressure for direct bearing on glacial till subgrade (Area C) or Structural Fill atop properly prepared native subgrade (Area B) is 3,000 pounds per square foot. Structural Fill replacement under foundations will be required in Area B in areas where native silty sand subgrade is encountered at or below foundation depth. Refer to the Foundations section of this report for complete recommendations. The building floor slabs should be supported by a minimum of 8 inches of Structural Fill and 4 inches of crushed base course atop native subgrade. Detailed recommendations are presented in the Floor Slabs section of this report. From the 2018 International Building Code Section 1613.3.2, and ASCE 7-16 Table 20.3- 1, the seismic site classification for this site is D. The recommended standard duty pavement section for roadways and parking areas is 3 inches of asphalt pavement, 4 inches of crushed base course, and a minimum of 9 inches of subbase course placed atop a geotextile fabric over properly prepared native subgrade. The recommended heavy duty pavement section for delivery and garbage trucks is 4 inches of asphalt pavement, 6 inches of crushed base course, and 12 inches of subbase course atop geotextile fabric over properly prepared native subgrade. The infiltration rate of the subgrade soils via double ring infiltrometer testing is 6.8 in/hr. The FOUrlciatiorl of a 4acCESSfU1 Project Close monitoring of the construction operations discussed herein will be essential in achieving the design foundation support for both building and pavement improvements. It is therefore critical that Alpine Geotechnical be retained to provide observation/testing during the earthwork portion of the project to help ensure satisfactory performance. This summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for design purposes. It should be recognized that details were not included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. The section titled CLOSURE/LIMITATIONS should be read for an understanding of the report limitations. The Fo4lndaftn of a SUCcessfUl Project GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana Alpine Geotechnical Project No. 21-938 October 15, 2021 INTRODUCTION Alpine Geotechnical has completed a subsurface investigation for a new apartment complex development to be located at 1079 North Meridian Road in Kalispell, Montana. In accordance with our proposal, a total of fifteen (15) borings, which included three (3) test pits, were drilled or excavated to investigate subsurface conditions within the areas of proposed improvements. These borings and test pits are in addition to the three (3) borings that were drilled during the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation for Homeword, Inc. and report dated July 17, 2020. The purpose of this report is to describe the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, present the test data, and provide final geotechnical recommendations based upon our analysis with regard to earthwork, foundations, floor slabs, below -grade walls for the new structures, pavements and storm drainage systems. PROJECT INFORMATION The project includes an apartment complex development on approximately 6 acres of land located at 1079 North Meridian Road in Kalispell, Montana. The project includes a total of 8 buildings including 24-unit apartments, 12-unit apartments, community building, access roads, parking areas, and site amenities. The apartment buildings are anticipated to be three stories, and the community building will be single story. The project includes full site development, including underground utility installation (water, sewer, gas, electric) along with paved access roads and parking areas. The proposed buildings are anticipated to be constructed using wood and structural steel framing, with concrete perimeter strip foundations, isolated concrete column foundations, and concrete slab -on -grade. Loading is unknown at this time, but is assumed to be less than 4,000 pounds per lineal foot for perimeter line loads, and less than 100,000 pounds for columns. Foundation depths for this addition are presumed to be 3.5 feet below existing grade, with no basement areas anticipated. EXPLORATION PROCEDURES Field Exploration Subsurface exploration took place September 15-17, 2021, and included twelve (12) borings, designated DH-1 through DH-5, and DH-8 through DH-14 drilled within proposed building and parking areas to depths ranging from 7.0 to 32.0 feet below existing grade. In addition, three (3) test The Foundation of a Successful Project Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E =GEOTECHNICAL pits, designated TIP-6, TIP-7, and TIP-1 5, were excavated within proposed building and parking areas to depths ranging from 4.0 to 6.0 feet below existing grade. An exploration location plan and individual logs of each boring/test pit are included in Appendix A. The borings were advanced using a truck mounted, rotary drill rig (CME 45B) using continuous flight hollow -stem augers and the test pits were excavated with a Bobcat E55 compact excavator, both owned and operated by Alpine Geotechnical. Representative samples were obtained by split -barrel sampling methods in general accordance with applicable ASTM D1586, where the standard penetration resistance value (SPT-N) is determined based on the number of blows required to advance a standard 2-inch outside diameter split -barrel sampler the last 12 inches of the typical total 18-inch penetration by means of a 140-pound hammer with a free fall of 30 inches. This value is used to estimate the in -situ relative density of cohesionless soils and consistency of cohesive soils. Representative undisturbed samples were also taken with a thin -walled tube sampler in general accordance with ASTM D1587, where a nominal 3-inch outside diameter galvanized tube with a beveled cutting edge is pushed hydraulically through fine-grained subgrade materials to obtain a relatively intact soil sample suitable for compressibility, permeability, strength, and density testing. The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to our laboratory for further examination, testing, and classification. Information provided on the boring logs attached to this report includes soil descriptions, consistency evaluations, boring depths, sampling intervals, and groundwater conditions. The borings were backfilled by the drill crew with auger cuttings at the conclusion of each boring. A field log of each boring was prepared by our geoscientist. These logs included visual classifications of the subsurface materials encountered during drilling as well as the driller's interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs included with this report represent field classifications, modified as needed based on laboratory tests of the samples. The logs also contain the field SPT results, natural moisture content, groundwater information, and any boring -specific comments. Laboratory Testing Representative portions of each recovered sample obtained during the field investigation were sealed in air tight containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual and laboratory examination. Each sample obtained during the field investigation was tested for natural moisture content. Selected samples were tested for liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index (ASTM D4318), particle size (ASTM C136 & C117), in -situ unit weight (density), one-dimensional consolidation/swell (ASTM D2435), specific gravity of soil solids (ASTM D854), maximum dry density (ASTM D698), and California Bearing Ratio (ASTM D1883) to aid in soil classification and to provide input for our analyses. A description of the laboratory test results for each project site is included in the Soil Conditions section of this report, and complete results of the laboratory tests are attached in Appendix B. Based on our field classifications and laboratory test results, the estimated group symbol for each stratum is shown on the logs, according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). A brief description of the USCS is attached to this report in Appendix C, along with General Notes that provide explanation of the USCS. The FOLVIdatiOn of a LJrCE89fUl Project 2 Geotechnical Investigation Report ALLPI E Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 GEOTECHNICAL SITE CONDITIONS Current ground cover across the entire site includes native grasses/trees, as the majority of the property is presently undeveloped. Two single -story residential homes are situated along the west end of the property. The existing grade slopes gradually upward towards the east, with the majority of the elevation gain along the far east end of the property. The exploration location map in Appendix A shows the property divided into three separate areas based on subsurface conditions (Area A, Area B, Area C). Area A is relatively flat with an elevation gain of approximately 5 feet +/- from west to east. Area B slopes gradually with an elevation gain of approximately 10 feet +/- from west to east. Area C slopes significantly, with an elevation gain of approximately 40 feet from west to east. Based on this information and the elevations of adjacent roads and properties, the design elevations are likely to be lower than the existing grades across the majority of the site. Therefore, the majority of the site will require substantial excavations with minimal fill areas. The Exploration Location Plan included in Appendix A illustrates the boring locations relative to existing site features. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Geology The project site is located in Kalispell, Montana, which lies in the Rocky Mountain Trench bounded by the Salish Mountains to the west and the Swan Range to the east. These mountain ranges were formed during Tertiary tectonic activity in which Precambrian Belt rocks were faulted and uplifted. Pleistocene mountain and continental glaciation advanced generally southeastward through the trench in the vicinity of Kalispell depositing generally competent till soils beneath the base of the ice sheet. As the glaciers retreated, a sequence of weaker lakebed and outwash alluvial soils were deposited over the glacial till as meltwater accumulated in areas where drainage was impeded by morainal features. The project site is located in central Kalispell where glacial lakebed deposits consisting of lean clay, silt, and sand comprise the dominant near -surface landform. The lacustrine deposits overlie glacial till in most locations; however, near -surface glacial till was encountered along the east end of the site (Area C). Soil Conditions Based on the results of the borings and test pits, subsurface conditions across the site are variable, therefore, we have categorized the site into three separate areas (Area A, Area B, Area C) as shown by Figure A-1 in Appendix A. The areas are shown as rectangular shapes and have been simplified for ease of presentation based on including complete building areas. The divisions between areas should be considered approximate. The purpose of dividing the property into these three zones was to allow for different recommendations for foundation and pavement subgrade preparation because of differing subgrade soils present across the site. Subsurface conditions in Area A can be generalized as 1-2 feet of organic silt topsoil atop native soils. The native soils in Area A consists primarily of silty clay or lean clay in the upper 15-feet +/. The native clay has consistency that is generally very stiff to soft, based on SPT N-values ranging The FOLVIdatiOn of a SLJrC8SSfiJI Project 3 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 ALLPI N E -GEOTECHNICAL from 16 to 2 blows per foot, which decreases with depth. Natural moisture contents in this strata ranged from 6 to 28 percent, generally increasing with depth. Subsurface conditions in Area B can be generalized as 1-2 feet of organic silt topsoil atop native soils. The native soils in Area B generally consists of silty clay with sand in the upper 5 feet +/- transitioning to silty sand. The relative density of the silty sand in the upper 15-feet is generally loose, based upon SPT N-values ranging from 5 to 9 blows per foot. Natural moisture contents in this stratum ranged from 4 to 15 percent. Subsurface conditions in Area C can be generalized as approximately 1 foot of organic silt topsoil atop native soils. The native soils in Area C consists primarily of gravelly silt with sand (glacial till). The glacial till is very dense, based upon SPT N-values in excess of 50 blows per foot. Natural moisture contents in this strata ranged from 2 to 8 percent. Subsurface conditions encountered at each boring location are indicated on the individual boring logs. Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate depths of changes in soil types. The in -situ transition between materials may be gradual. The attached logs should be reviewed for a detailed description of the conditions encountered at the individual investigation locations. Particle size testing (ASTM C117 & C136) of soils taken from the borings and test pits are shown in the table below: Boring/Test Pit Depth (ft) Passing No. 200 M Classification TP-6 4.0 53 Gravelly Silt with Sand (ML) DH-14 5.0 8 Poorly Graded Sand with Silt (SP-SM) DH-4 6.0 26 Silty Sand (SM) DH-8 20.0 17 Silty Sand with Gravel (SM) Liquid -limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index testing (ASTM D4318) of soils taken from the borings are shown in the table below: Boring Depth (ft) Liquid Limit M Plasticity Index M Classification DH-10 5.0 29 12 Lean Clay (CL) DH-2 10.0 32 15 Lean Clay (CL) One-dimensional consolidation/swell by ASTM D2435 was conducted on a portion of a thin -walled tube sample.

The normal stress was then reduced to 1,000 psf, and the sample ended at about 1.1 percent total axial strain. The consolidation test results indicate moderate shear strength and compressibility with minor collapse potential upon wetting. This will require special consideration for foundation preparation of buildings located in Area A, as discussed in the later Foundation Preparation section. Groundwater Conditions The borings were observed while drilling and immediately after completion for the presence and level of groundwater. Static groundwater was encountered in all of the building borings during the field investigation at depths ranging from about 16.0 to 19.9 feet below existing grade. It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other hydrologic factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the future may vary relative to the conditions indicated on the logs. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS Geotechnical Considerations We understand that the proposed structures will feature conventional strip foundations around the perimeter established at frost depth (minimum 3.5 feet below adjacent grade), and that a concrete slab -on -grade will be used to support floors. For this type of construction, interior column footings are typically used less frequently, and thickened slab strip footings are commonly used to support load bearing walls. Design loading on the perimeter strip and interior line foundations has not been provided, so we have assumed maximum line loads of 4,000 pounds per lineal foot and maximum point loads of 100,000 pounds if column footings are to be used. We have performed our settlement analysis and prepared our foundation preparation recommendations based on this assumed loading information. Areas with higher loading will stress the soils more significantly, and will result in higher settlements than those estimated. Due to variable subsurface conditions across the site near the foundation level, we have divided the site into three areas (Area A, Area B, Area C). Each area represents the predominant native soil encountered in that vicinity. In Area A, the upper 30 feet of the soil profile primarily consists of native clay. In Area B, the upper 30 feet of the soil profile primarily consists of native sand, and in Area C, the upper portions of the soil profile primarily consists of native gravelly silt (glacial till). Each of these soils will behave differently under loading, therefore, specific foundation preparation recommendations have been developed for each area. These include either direct bearing on properly prepared native clay or glacial till subgrade or Structural Fill atop properly prepared silty sand subgrade. This will be further discussed in detail in the following Foundation Preparation section. The FOLVIdatiOn of a LJrCESSfUI Project 5 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 ALLPI N E -GEOTECHNICAL The organic silt topsoil materials that exist in the upper portion of the subsurface profile are not considered reliable to support either foundations or slabs in their current condition because of increased risk of excessive settlement. All existing topsoil materials should be removed from the site as the first step in preparing the site for construction. Individual boring logs, as well as the Soil Conditions section of this report should be reviewed for details on estimated depths of topsoil based on the field investigation. It should be noted that differences in topsoil thickness may occur between the relatively widely -spaced boring locations. Bidding contractors should be advised that soil borings were not completed to exactly quantify the depth of removal of unsuitable material (which would require additional, more closely -spaced borings), but rather to provide a general summary of anticipated subsurface conditions. The site will require varying depths of fill to achieve final grade for slab support. This should be accomplished using Structural Fill. To minimize the potential for differential movement, we recommend a minimum of 8 inches of Structural Fill and 4 inches of crushed base course be placed directly beneath all slab areas. All site clearing, subgrade preparation, and Structural Fill placement beneath slab areas should be performed following the recommendations of the Earthwork section of this report. Site Preparation To prepare the site for construction, all existing topsoil and organic matter should be completely removed under all building and roadway/parking areas. Smooth -lipped excavator buckets are best suited for this site, in order to minimize subgrade disturbance. Once the native subgrade has been encountered, the exposed native subgrade should be thoroughly recompacted to recover excavation disturbance. The subgrade in roadway and parking areas should be proof load tested using rubber -tired construction equipment, and should be stable under that loading. The surface should be cut or filled as necessary using Structural Fill, and prepared to an elevation that will accommodate a minimum of 8-inch thickness of Structural Fill and 4 inches of crushed base course directly beneath floor slabs. We recommend the entire building area be prepared as the initial step, and before any foundations are excavated, which allows for the work to be completed with larger equipment. All fill materials should be placed according to the Earthwork section of this report. Foundation recommendations are presented in the section below. Foundation Preparation The foundation preparation recommendations in this section are applicable to perimeter strip foundations, column foundations, and any interior thickened footings that are integral to the slab. As previously stated, the subgrade materials at foundation depth will consist of either native clay (Area A), native silt or sand (Area B), or native gravelly silt glacial till (Area C). These materials produce varying settlements based on an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). Therefore, for the anticipated design loading, our analysis indicates that the loads for Area A can be adequately supported by direct bearing on the properly prepared native cohesive subgrade. For Area B, the loads can be adequately supported by Structural Fill atop properly prepared native silty sand subgrade. For Area C, the loads can be adequately supported by direct bearing on properly prepared native glacial till. The FOUndatian of a LJrCESSfUI Project 6 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 ALLPI N E -GEOTECHNICAL Our engineer should be afforded the opportunity to verify and evaluate subgrade conditions at the foundation level during excavation. Areas where soft silt or unforeseen soft soils are encountered should be undercut a minimum of 18 inches below planned foundation level and replaced with Structural Fill at the direction of Alpine Geotechnical personnel. Geotextile separation fabric (Geotex 200ST or Alpine approved equivalent) should be placed atop properly prepared subgrade to improve stability and ensure a uniform thickness of Structural Fill. Geogrid may be necessary atop the native sand to provide enough stability to adequately compact the Structural Fill. The Structural Fill should be placed and compacted according to the Earthwork section. A relative density of 98% of standard Proctor is the target for Structural Fill. However, it may not be possible to achieve this density over the native soft/loose subgrade materials. With the approval of Alpine's designated representative, 95% is acceptable if this situation arises. The Structural Fill should extend laterally a distance of 8 inches for every 12 inches of thickness. A sketch below shows the approximate dimensions for the Structural Fill.

Concrete should be placed as soon after foundation preparation as possible to reduce bearing soil disturbance. If the subgrade should become excessively dry, disturbed, saturated, or frozen, the affected soil should be removed to an undisturbed surface and replaced under geotechnical observation prior to placing concrete. Design recommendations for shallow foundations to support the proposed buildings at each area of the site are presented below.

These recommendations have been based on the maximum loads provided. Design loading in excess will increase the stress applied to the supporting soils, and require additional geotechnical analysis to ensure estimated settlement will meet engineer/owner expectations. Seismic Site Classification Code Used Site Classification 2018 International Building Code (IBC)DZ 1. In general accordance with the 2018 International Building Code, Section 1613.3.2, and ASCE 7-16 Table 20.3-1. 2. The 2018 International Building Code and ASCE 7-16 require a site soil profile determination extending a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope requested does not include the required 100-foot soil profile determination. Borings for this report extended to a maximum depth of 32 feet. Additional exploration to greater depths could be considered to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration. Alternatively, a geophysical exploration could be utilized in order to attempt to justify a more favorable seismic site class. The following seismic parameters per ASCE 7-16 are applicable to this project: • Seismic Risk Category II according to Table 1.5-1 • SS value of 0.881 per section 11.4.2 • S, value of 0.264 per section 11.4.2 • Fa value of 1.148 per section 11.4.4 The seismic parameters presented above were obtained by following the link in section 11.4.2 of ASCE 7-16 Mapped Acceleration Parameters. The values obtained are from the Applied Technology Council (ATC) which was accessed via link from the USGS Earthquake Hazards website, https://doi.orci/10.5066/F7NK3C76. The mapped MCER spectral response acceleration parameters at periods of 1 second and 0.2 seconds, S, and Ss, as well as the short period site coefficient, Fa was obtained directly from the ATC website for the site latitude and longitude. Below -Grade Walls For preliminary design, reinforced concrete walls with unbalanced backfill levels on opposite sides should be designed for earth pressures at least equal to those indicated in the following table. Earth pressures will be influenced by structural design of the walls, conditions of wall restraint, methods of construction and/or compaction and the strength of the materials being restrained. Active earth pressure is commonly used for design of free-standing cantilever retaining walls and assumes wall movement. The "at -rest" condition assumes no wall movement. The The FOLVIdatiOn of a SLJrC8SSfiJI Project 9 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 ALLPI N E -GEOTECHNICAL recommended design lateral earth pressures do not include a factor of safety and do not provide for hydrostatic pressure on the walls.

However, foundation excavations conducted on the slope should be evaluated for stability during construction as the excavation begins. Vertical or near vertical cuts present a safety concern and should not be conducted unless a suitable temporary shoring system is installed. Temporary cut slopes should be planned for a maximum inclination of 2H:1 V, and may need to be shallower if loose sand layers are encountered deeper in the subsurface profile or signs of instability are noted. This will depend on the exact building placement and required excavation depths, which are currently unknown. The glacial till contains cobbles and boulders and therefore temporary cut slopes should be manually scaled with construction equipment to remove any large boulders or cobbles that could become partially The FOLVIdatiOn of a LJrCESSfUI Project 10 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E =GEOTECHNICAL dislodged during excavation and prone to migration downslope from construction vibration or rainfall, etc. It is imperative that Alpine Geotechnical' s engineering staff be present during all on - slope activity from the onset of work to observe the conditions and make recommendations since an excessively over steepened slope is difficult to correct once exposed. Drainage Site grading should provide effective drainage away from the structure during and after construction. Water permitted to pond next to the structure can result in greater soil movements. Finished grades should be positively sloped away from the foundation and backfill zones at a minimum slope of 5 percent over the 10 feet immediately adjacent to the foundation perimeter. Irrigation in the backfill zone should be strictly minimized or isolated from the backfill zone. Roof gutters with downspouts should be provided with discharge points beyond the backfill zone. If positive drainage is not provided during the life of the structure, then increased movement could develop. It is anticipated that the roofs will be connected with existing structures, and that internal roof drains will be used. These roof drains would ideally be connected to the project storm drainage system. Infiltration testing was conducted using a double -ring infiltrometer in accordance with ASTM D3385 at one location along the western part of the site (see Exploration Location Plan in Appendix A). The following table summarizes the results of the infiltration tests, complete test results are included in Appendix B. Test Location Depth of Test (Below existing grade) Stabilized Infiltration Rate (in/hr) DR-1 4 feet 6.8 Floor Slabs Lightly -loaded floor slabs founded on a layer of granular base course atop properly prepared subgrade are expected to have low risk of differential performance assuming earthwork is completed in accordance with this report. Following removal of all organic topsoil and fibrous materials, native soils may be used as interior/exterior foundation backfill. However, we recommend that a minimum thickness of 8 inches of Structural Fill be placed according to the Earthwork section of this report to establish the final slab subgrade elevation. The floor slab should be placed on a minimum 4-inch-thick leveling course comprised of well -graded V crushed base course material that meets all the requirements in the current edition of the Montana Public Works Standard Specifications. The slab base course should be compacted to at least 95% of the material's standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698). Floor slabs should be structurally independent of any building footings or walls to reduce the possibility of floor slab cracking caused by differential movement between the slab and foundation. Joints should be constructed or saw cut at regular intervals as recommended by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) to help control the location of cracking. It should be understood that The FOLVIdatiOn of a SUrC8SSfUI Project 11 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E GEOTECHNICAL differential settlement between the floor slabs and foundation could occur, and provisions to allow some independent movement should be included in the design. The use of a vapor retarder should be considered beneath concrete slabs on grade that will be covered with wood, tile, carpet or other moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will support equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of a vapor retarder, the slab designer should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder. Alpine Geotechnical can provide additional input in this regard if requested by the Structural Engineer. Earthwork For the specific recommended preparation sequence for building slab and foundation, please refer to the Site Preparation and Foundation Preparation sections of this report. To prepare the site for construction, all organic or previously placed fill materials, and any loose, soft, frozen or otherwise unsuitable materials should be removed from excavation areas. The extent of removal should be evaluated by Alpine Geotechnical personnel during construction. Excavated materials not suitable for use as backfill should be disposed of off -site. The exposed subgrade should be stable under the loading of construction equipment, thoroughly recompacted and tested by Alpine personnel prior to fill placement. Depending on the season of construction and other factors such as defined haul routes, instability may develop that will require subgrade stabilization. Our engineering staff should be consulted if this situation develops to provide stabilization recommendations, such as subexcavation and replacement, or geotextile/geogrid reinforcement. The on -site native inorganic soils are suitable for use as building backfill and required fill in landscaped areas outside of building limits if processed and placed according to this report. For fill areas beneath all exterior hardscaped features such as roadways, sidewalks, and exterior patios/stops we recommend support from Structural Fill to minimize undesirable settlement. Building interior backfill areas should be left 12 inches below slab elevation, to allow for the recommended 8 inches of Structural Fill and 4 inches of crushed base course beneath the concrete slab. Processing involves removal of all oversized material larger than 3 inches in diameter, and rejecting all otherwise unsuitable materials such as organic matter and construction debris. Special attention should be paid in areas where exterior porches or hardscape features cross the building backfill zone. If such areas are planned, we recommend Structural Fill be used exclusively for exterior backfill from foundation depth in order to reduce settlement potential. The near -surface clay and silt subgrade will be highly frost susceptible, and building plans should reflect this potential. Exterior flatwork areas or unheated buildings that are attached to heated spaces are particularly vulnerable to seasonal uplift due to frost heave and should be mitigated. Mitigation would include replacement of the upper 18 inches with a granular, non -frost susceptible fill material. A geotextile separation fabric should be placed atop the subgrade, followed by a thin layer (3 inch thick +/-) of clean, free -draining aggregate to serve as a capillary break followed by another layer of geotextile fabric. Structural Fill should be used to achieve final subgrade elevation. The FOLVIdatiOn of a SUCCeSSfUl Project 12 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E GEOTECHNICAL Structural Fill for building foundation support, soil replacement, and backfill should be developed from reliable source(s) approved by Alpine Geotechnical and meeting the following gradation and composition requirements: Screen or Sieve Size 3-inch 1 1/2-inch No. 4 No. 200 Percent Passing by Weight 100 85-100 30-60 10 maximum • The sand, gravel, and cobble -size particles comprising the fill must be hard, durable rock materials that will not degrade by moistening or under mechanical action of the compacting equipment; i.e. not shale or other clayey rock types. • The binder/fines fraction should have maximum Liquid Limit and Plasticity Index values of 25 and 10 percent respectively. • No frozen, organic, or other deleterious materials should be present in the fill aggregate. The soil's water content at the time of compaction should be in the range specified in the following table. Some moisture conditioning of on -site soils may be required to achieve adequate compaction; wetting or drying may be required depending on the natural soil moisture conditions at the time of construction. All fill materials should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts. The fill lifts should not exceed 12 inches in loose thickness for heavy compaction equipment, and 6 inches for smaller equipment such as large vibratory plates and jumping jacks used in foundation and utility excavations. Small vibratory plate compactors should be used in landscaped areas only. Typically, sheepsfoot compactors are best suited for fine-grained, cohesive soils and vibratory, smooth -drum compactors are needed for coarse -grained soils. All fill material should be compacted as specified in the table below.

The contractor should be aware that slope height, slope inclination, and excavation depth should in no instance exceed those specified by these safety regulations. Flatter slopes than those dictated by these regulations may be required depending upon the soil/groundwater conditions encountered and other external factors. These regulations are strictly enforced and if they are not followed, the owner, contractor, and/or earthwork and utility subcontractor could be liable and subject to substantial penalties. Under no circumstances should the information provided in this report be interpreted to mean that Alpine Geotechnical is responsible for construction site safety or the contractor's activities. Construction site safety is the sole responsibility of the contractor who shall also be solely responsible for the means, methods, and sequencing of the construction operations. Our engineering staff will be available during construction to provide guidance, if requested in connection with agreed construction phase work by Alpine Geotechnical. Pavements It is anticipated that final subgrade elevations within the parking/access roadway areas will be above existing grades. Prior to placing any additional fill for pavement section construction, the existing clay/silt subgrade materials should be stable under rubber -tired construction equipment, including dump truck traffic. Areas that are shown to be unstable during this proof loading operation indicate that deeper subgrade deficiencies may exist and these areas should be repaired under the direction of our geotechnical engineer. The requirements of a suitable fill and its placement are discussed in the Earthwork section of this report. The Faunciatian of a S4accessful Project 14 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E GEOTECHNICAL Unsuitable material encountered below subgrade and/or subbase course level should be further undercut and replaced with Structural Fill based on observation by our geotechnical engineer. The upper 1 foot of subgrade material below the subexcavation depth should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum dry density per ASTM D698. Localized instability of the native silt/clay subgrade may develop during construction when subjected to dump truck and repetitive equipment traffic, especially with higher moisture contents. These areas may need geogrid and geotextile fabric in order to provide adequate stability to compact the subbase course. A defined equipment haul route using geotextile and geogrid should be considered to minimize the potential for widespread subgrade instability to develop. The design approach used to develop the following tables for the flexible surfacing was based on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 1993 Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, Chapter 4 Low Volume Road Design. We used structural coefficients of the Montana Department of Transportation and our local experience. Specific information regarding anticipated vehicle types, axle loads and traffic volumes was not provided. In developing our recommendations, we have assumed that traffic will consist primarily of automobile traffic and a limited number of delivery trucks and trash removal trucks. The preliminary site plan estimates 200 parking spaces will be constructed. If heavier vehicle types or higher traffic volumes are expected, Alpine Geotechnical should be afforded the opportunity to review, and possibly revise, these assumptions and recommendations. The design of pavement thickness was based on the approach described above and on the following parameters: Stable subgrade as previously detailed and verified by proof -loading with rubber -tired construction equipment and dump truck traffic. Any required fill is placed in accordance with the Earthwork section of this report. Flexible Pavement Design Catalog assuming a maximum of 5 ESAL's per day over the service life, based upon estimated 500 passenger vehicle trips per day and 10 garbage and/or delivery vehicle trips per day. A subgrade resilient modulus of 6,000 psi/inch was used based on a California Bearing Ratio of 4.1 %. A service life of 30 years. As a minimum, we suggest the following typical pavement section be considered: Typical Pavement Section Thickness Asphalt Concrete Crushed Base Traffic Area I Surface Course Course *Subbase Course Total Thickness Road and Parking Lot 3 inches 4 inches 8 inches 15 inches Standard Duty Road and Parking Lot 4 inches 6 inches 8 inches 18 inches Heavy -Duty *For Area C of the site, where glacial till subgrade is encountered, the pavement section can be constructed with just crushed base course and asphalt surface course atop glacial till subgrade compacted to 95% of a Standard Proctor The FOUndatiOrl of a LJrCessfUl Project 15 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 LLPI N E GEOTECHNICAL Options 1 and 2 are applicable for driveway and parking areas outside the building. The optional heavy-duty section is applicable for channelized delivery and/or garbage truck routes, which will perform better in areas with planned heavy loading. For the areas identified for garbage collection or delivery areas with heavier wheel loads, higher performance will be achieved through installation of a minimum 6-inch-thick Portland Cement Concrete Pavement as the surface course to support the short-term heavier loads from garbage trucks during loadout. We recommend our technical staff be afforded the opportunity to evaluate the existing subgrade materials during construction. We also recommend field density testing be performed of all fill placed to achieve final subgrade elevation as well as subbase and base course materials. Pavement sections based upon a more detailed pavement design could be provided if specific traffic loading, frequencies, and desired pavement design life are provided. The pavement section provided is based on design traffic loading as discussed and is not intended for nor should it be construed to be a construction platform either in full or partial section. Construction use is likely to exert heavier and higher frequency axle/wheel loads under adverse weather or channelized traffic conditions than assumed in this forgoing design. If construction access/haul load sections are desired, additional geotechnical input based on construction traffic will be required. Pavements subjected to higher traffic volumes than assumed above may require thicker pavement sections. The above section represents the minimum thickness for in-service use and, as such, periodic maintenance should be anticipated. Aggregate base course should meet Montana Public Works Specification Section 02235 (6t" Edition) for Crushed Base Course, 1 '/2 inch or 3/4 inch minus and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum ASTM D698 dry density. Aggregate subbase course should meet Montana Public Works Specification Section 02234 (61" Edition) for Sub Base Course, and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum ASTM D698 dry density. Long term pavement performance will be dependent upon several factors, including maintaining subgrade moisture levels and providing for preventive maintenance. The following recommendations should be considered the minimum: • Site grading at a minimum 2% grade away from the pavements • The subgrade and the pavement surface have a minimum '/4 inch per foot slope to promote proper surface drainage • Consider appropriate edge drainage and pavement underdrain systems • Apply joint sealant and seal cracks regularly Preventive maintenance should be planned and provided through an on -going pavement management program. Preventive maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration, and to preserve the pavement investment. Preventive maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g., crack and joint sealing and patching) and global The FOLVIdatiOn of a LJrCESSfUI Project 16 Geotechnical Investigation Report Junegrass Place Kalispell, Montana October 15, 2021 ALLPI N E -GEOTECHNICAL maintenance (e.g., surface sealing). Preventive maintenance is usually the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program and provides the highest return on investment for pavements. Prior to implementing any maintenance, additional engineering observation is recommended to determine the type and extent of preventive maintenance. CLOSURE/LIMITATIONS Alpine Geotechnical should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. Alpine Geotechnical also should be retained to provide observation and testing services during site preparation, removal of unsuitable soils, foundation preparation/construction, and backfilling of excavations and other earth -related construction phases of the project.
