Resolution 3881 - Annexation - Third Ave Add. 231RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY TO BE KNOWN AS THIRD AVENUE ADDITION NO. 231; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT, RA-1, AND TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY AND TO DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the boundaries of the territory to be annexed is contained in Exhibit "A'" attached hereto and for purposes of this Resolution made a part hereof, and WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a report on the annexation/zoning of the territory dated April 4, 1989, and WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the annexation and zoning of the property, pursuant to §6.13, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance on April 11, 1989 and recommended that the territory be annexed into the City of Kalispell and be zoned Residential Apartment, RA-1, in accordance with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and the Kalispell City --County Master Plan, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell held a public hearing pursuant to §6.13, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance on May 15, 1989 to consider the report made by the Flathead Regional Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, and WHEREAS, based upon the report of the Flathead Regional Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning classification for the territory is in accordance with the Kalispell City -County Master Plan and the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance based upon the following criterion: 1. Does the proposed zone comply with the master plan? The official map of the Kalispell City -County Master Plan indicates that this particular property is in a transition area from commercial to high density residential. The proposed RA-1 classification would be in substantial con- formance with these land use designations. The Plan would allow flexibility in the future to support commercial zoning classifications for portions of the subject property. 2. Is the proposed zone designed to lessen congestion in the streets? The proposed City zoning classification is essentially equivalent to the existing County zoning classification that applies to the subject property. Therefore, the proposed City zoning classification is not expected to permit more intensive land uses than what is currently permitted by the County zoning regulations. The proposed zoning will maintain the existing residential uses of the property and as the undeveloped portions of the property are developed, impacts to traffic will be considered in conjunction with other established review mechanisms. 3. Will the proposed zone secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers? Upon annexation, the property will be served with City of Kalispell police and fire protection. At present, the properties do not exhibit any extraordinary threats to public safety. Nor should the uses that might be expected in an RA-1 zoning classification create any extraordinary threats to public safety. 4. Will the proposed zone promote the health and general wPlfarP? The proposed residential zone will serve the general public interest by helping to promote orderly growth and development. The existing residential uses in the area will be recognized as permitted uses by the proposed zoning and any new develop- ment will be reviewed in accordance to all applicable City regulations which were adopted for the purpose of promoting general public welfare. 5. Will the proposed zone provide for adequate light and air? The bulk and dimensional requirements of an RA-1 zoning classification will ensure adequate light and air consistent with the character of an urban residential neighborhood. 6. Will the proposed zone prevent the overcrowding of land? The maximum permitted lot coverage in an RA-1 zoning classifi- cation is 40-45%. This will help maintain the open space qualities of residential properties. 7. Will the proposed zone avoid undue concentration of people? The proposed zoning will help maintain the existing resi- dential character of the properties. However in the event that higher land use densities are proposed, the zoning regulations provide a mechanism to review all proposals and this will help ensure that the carrying capacity of the property is not exceeded. 8. Will the proposed zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? The proposed zoning classification is not expected to stimulate a change in the uses of the existing developed properties. However, a considerable portion of the area is vacant at this time. As this property is developed, review mechanisms are in place to consider impacts to public services and facilities. 9. Does the proposed zone give consideration to the par- ticular suitability of the property for particular uses? A portion of the subject property is currently developed with residential uses. These residential uses will persist under the proposed zoning classification. The vacant land is relatively flat and would also be suitable for single family or multi -family uses. it is uncertain whether the vacant land would be as suitable for certain commercial uses. Drainage is a particular problem in the area and residential uses may be more appropriate for that reason since commercial uses tend to have greater lot coverage and thereby increase off -site loads of storm water. 10. Does the proposed zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the district? The subject property is .situated between Third Avenue East and fifth Avenue East. Most of the uses in this area are residential in character. However, to the west are commercial uses including the Outlaw Inn. The predominant land use .influence at this time appears to be residential but as indicated earlier in this report, some commercial usage of the property may be appropriate in the future. r 1 1 11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? The proposed zoning classification is appropriate given the existing residential uses of the area. This residential classification would also serve as an effective buffer between the more intensive commercial uses to the west and the residential uses to the east. Therefore, the property values of existing and surrounding uses should be preserved. 12. Will the proposed zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the municipality? The proposed RA-1 zoning classification is consistent with the Master Plan, which is intended to reflect the acceptable distribution of land uses throughout the municipality. WHEREAS, on the 3rd day of April, 1989 the City Council of the City of Kalispell adopted, pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 47, Montana Code Annotated, an Extension of Services Plan which anticipates development of City services for approximately five years in the future, and WHEREAS, the City has caused to be developed a "mini -extension of services plan" for the territory described in Exhibit "B" and by this Resolution annexed to the City of Kalispell.

The westerly boundary is along Third Avenue East and extending easterly to an area approximately 150 feet westerly of Fifth Avenue East. Much of the area is undeveloped except for scattered residential uses. EXISTING SERVICES: Water: Much of this area is currently served with city water. A si:>, (6) inch water main is located along Fifth Avenue East. An eight (S) inch water main is located along Third Avenue East. Sewer: No developed sewage Facilities are available to the area. Storm Drainage: No developed drainage facilities are in the vicinity of the area. Streets: Access to portions of the property are possible from Third Avenue East, Fourteenth Street East, Fifth Avenue East, and Eighteenth Street. Garbage Collection: Garbage collection is available on a contract basis to the property from private companies. Police Protection: The area is within the jurisdiction of the Flathead County Sheriff's Department. Fire Protection: The area is within the jurisdiction of a rural Fire District. ANTICIPATED SERVICE NEEDS: Water: Water needs for the area can be accommodated by the existing water mains located in Fifth Avenue East and Third Avenue East. Individual extensions of these mains to serve newly developed properties will be the responsibility of the private landowner. However, the city may be responsible for improving the system to city standards as appurtenant to the individual service lines to the existing property. A cross connection will need to be installed to connect the existing main in Third Avenue East with the existing main in Fifth Avenue East. Sewer: Development of the property will require extension of the existing sewer main located at the intersection of Third Avenue East and Eighteenth Street East. The cost of extending the sewer service to the property will he the responsibility of devet►aper(s), either incrementally as individuals or comprehensively as development occurs. Storer Drainage: Much of this area appears to be low and susceptible to poor drainage. It is anticipated that on —site disposal of storm water will be accomplished as new property is developed within the area, especially if subdivision of land is proposed. Otherwise a comprehensive storm drainage system in the area is not anticipated within the next. 20 years. Streets: Street system improvements of the existing public road will be accomplished pursuant to the on —going street maintenance and reconstruction program of the city. Routine maintenance such as patching and snow removal will also be the responsibility of the city. Any interior roads necessary to provide access to now development will be the responsibility of private landowners. Garbage Collection: The City of Kalispell will not provide solid waste disposal service to the annexed territory for a period of at least. five (5) years, consistent with the provision of 7—E47 6, M.C.A. Police Protection: City of Kalispell police protection will be available upon annexation. Eire Protection: City of Kalispell fire protection will be available to the property upon annexation. EXTENSION AND FINANCE STRATEGIES The cost of extending such public services as police and fire proter.t.ion will be borne by the entire municipality through city I.ax revenues. The entire municipality will also share the tax burden for most of the street maintenance program. Individual improvements to the neighborhood relative to storm drainage and lighting will be financed in part by the residents of the entire municipality and in part by Special Assessments for that purpose. Such special improvement districts will be subject to voter approval. The cost of improving the water- system to -the area will be shared by the city and by individual property owners within the area. The extension of the sewer main will be the responsiblity of either the neighborhood or by individual landowners as the need arises. The timing of improvements will largely depend on the rate of growth in the area. 2 I-.
