SW� SW,, SECTION 17, TOWNSHIP 28 NORTH, RANGE 21 WEST, P.M.M.,
FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA.
WHEREAS, Western Montana Regional Mental Health Center, by and
through Flathead Land Consultants, the owners of Lot 13, Block 1,
Poston Addition, Flathead County, Montana, have petitioned for approval
of the Amended Subdivision Plat of Lot 13, Block 1, Poston Addition,
and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amended Subdivision Plat of Lot 13, Block
1, Poston Addition is subject to the provisions of §2.7 (Summary
Subdivision Review), Subdivision Regulations of the City of Kalispell,
and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has reviewed
the proposed subdivision and made a report to the City Council of
the City of Kalispell, said report considering and weighing all
public interest criterion set forth in §2.2(F)(3), Subdivision
Regulations of the City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell has reviewed
the report of the Flathead Regional Development Office and has found
from the preliminary plat, and evidence, that the subdivision is in
the public interest, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has based its public interest findings
upon the following findings of fact:
A. EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY:
1. Available Services:
This subdivision is within the jurisdiction of the Kalispell
Police Department and Fire Department. Ambulance service
is also available through the Kalispell Fire Department.
Other emergency medical facilities are within a four minute
response time to the property. The City of Kalispell
sewer and water service is also available to the property..
Vehicular access is available primarily off of Eighteenth
Street West, a city road.
2. Natural Hazards:
The property is not subject to any particular threats from
the natural or man-made environment. Wild fire, topography,
and flooding do not pose as threats to the property.
3. Artificial Hazards:
The proposed commercial subdivision, in and by itself,
should not pose any extraordinary threats to public health
and safety. The subdivision will primarily maintain the
existing status quo of the property and, therefore, should
not alter such things as vehicle trip attraction, traffic
patterns, -etc. The intersection of Eighteenth Street West
and U.S. Highway 93 will continue to be a safety concern
for any vehicle entering on or off of the highway at that
location due to the volume of traffic along that segment
of U.S. Highway 93 and the numerous crossing traffic patterns
in the area.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
The subject property is currently an urban lot occupied
with commercial uses. Because of this the property is not
and has not been suitable for wildlife or wildlife habitat.
The subdivision therefore will have a negligible impact on
wildlife.
C. EFFECTS ON NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
1
1
The net affect of this subdivision will be to establish a
property line between two existing commercial uses. This
property line separation of the two uses will have no
additional impact on the natural environment. For all
practical purposes, both lots have already been totally
disturbed with no remaining natural features exhibited on
the property.
D. EFFECTS ON TAXATION:
At present, the taxable value of the property is approximately
$6.00 per square foot. The taxable value will not change.
when the property is split into two lots. The combined
tax revenue for the two lots is expected to approach $3,260
per year. However, if Lot B obtains tax exempt status,
then the total tax revenue is likely to decrease by $2,415.
Structural improvements on the property will add taxable
value.
E. EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
1. Schools:
This commercial subdivision should have no direct impact
on school enrollment.
2. Parks and Recreation:
Commercial subdivisions are
dedication requirements of
Platting Act. In addition,
pose any additional impact
area.
3. Fire Protection:
not subject to the parkland
the Montana Subdivision and
this subdivision should not
on the public parks in the
For all practical purposes, approval of this subdivision
will not immediately change the existing uses of the property.
The Chief of the Kalispell Fire Department has indicated
that the subdivision can be adequately served by the
Department.
4. Police Protection:
Again, approval of this subdivision should not significantly
affect the current uses of the property. The need for
additional police protection in the area is therefore not
expected.
5. Roads:
Both lots have frontage along Eighteenth Street West.
This street should have sufficient capacity to accommodate
any traffic that might be associated with the lots.
6. Water/Sewer/Storm Drainage:
Both commercial uses that are currently on the property
are connected to the City of Kalispell water and sewer
services. The public facilities associated with these
services have sufficient capacity to serve the existing
uses and any other commercial uses that might be anticipated
or permitted on the two lots. There are no public storm
drainage facilities in the affected area. The disposal of
storm water in the area of Lot A is a particular problem
at this time.
7. Solid Waste:
Solid waste pickup can be accommodated either through the
City of Kalispell collection system or by contract hauler.
This two lot subdivision will not adversely impact these
services.
8. Public Health Services:
Major medical facilities are available in Kalispell.
Sufficient medical facilities are available to accommodate
any emergency or medical needs that might arise from this .
two lot subdivision.
F. EFFECTS ON AGRICULTURE:
The subject property is an urban lot and has been developed
over the years with commercial uses. The proposed land
division will have no direct or indirect impacts on agricul-
tural use in Flathead County.
G. EXPRESSED PUBLIC OPINION:
This subdivision is being reviewed under the summary review
procedures of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. As
such, no public hearing is required nor is there a requirement
to notify the adjoining land owners. To date, no one has
expressed any concerns relative to the proposed subdivision.
H. NEED FOR SUBDIVISION:
Two commercial uses under separate ownership are currently
located on a single lot. The land division will allow
each business to be conveyed as a separate lot. There
probably is no "public" need for this subdivision but,
instead, reflects a private need for separate ownership.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL, MONTANA:
