STILLWATER DESTINATION RESORT NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
AN ADDENDUM TO
THE KALISPELL CITY -COUNTY MASTER FLAM
INTRODUCTION
The Kalispell Cit�-County Master Plan was formally aoopted in April 1586. Tiie
plan was broad in scope in na, it addro5soo community land use palloro�� and
provided Goals and Objectives to guide growth and development. Tha plan was
general in nature. Ouoting from page I of the plart, "general" fliean5 "that Lne
plan presents the goals, objectives and Policies necessary to give guidance to
and to make decisions concerning development, but ooes not indicate site
speciiic locations, engineered solutions, or detailed regulations." It was
envisioned that "neighborhood plans" would be developed that would be much
more specific in design. These plans would bridge the gap between a "general
plan" and a site SpeCiiiC engineering study. Such plans would iocus on
specific community facilities or neighborhoods. These plans would address
needs as they developed.
The Stillwater Destination Resort Neighborhood Plan presented herein is meant
to serve as an amendment to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan. This
Neighborhoo.d Plan embodies the goals and objectives, design standards and'
guidelines for a major resort destination complex to be located north of the
Stillwater River and bounded generally by a major arterial road (US Highway
92) and a minor arterial road (Whitefish Stage). The primary features of the
plan include a major golf course facility, a hotel with convention iacilities,
related recreational amenitie5 and a planned residential community which
embraces both the recreational amenities and the'attributes. of the site.
Typically, a destination resort would be located in close proximiiy to or
adjacent to lakes, streams, ski areas, p:ublic space or existing recreational
amenities. In the case of the Stillwater Destination Resort, the intent is to
create the resort irom the ground up and provide the amenities that will draw
and serve the future resioon,6 and visitors,
PLAN SUMMARY
A professionally designed 18 hole golf course will be the iocus of tne
neighborhood plan. In addition to the golf course, providing activities for
non -golfers will be important. Some of the possibilities include tennis,
miniature golf, water slides, volleyball, and paths for walking, jogging and
biking. This will be emphasized as a year round resort for the times when
golfing and other fair weather activities are not possible. In addition, the
topography will allow for sledding, ice skating and cross-country skiing. A
hotel and convention facility will be built that will accommodate regional
and/or national conventions. Associated commerical uses will be complementary
to the destination and golf course "theme".
To insure a "quality" theme, architectural design will be coordinated
throughout and enhanced by landscaping, buffering, and designed entrance and
exit approaches.

A B-6 Resort Business Zone is requested for the commercial areas. This zone
covers many different types of potential businesses. Only commercial
operations that meet the emphasis of a quality resort dnd living environment
will be approved.
Another maSor aspect of this development is the development of a residential
area for single family and townhouse dwellings. Although tourism is an
important factor to the Valley's economy, fult time or partial year residents
desire a quality residential area. These areas will be separated from the
commercial development but at the same time provide easy access to them
through road systems and pathways with the overall intent of providing a seif-
contained community. The townhouse development will be separated from the
single family residences to meet their individual needs and allow more
flexibility for family activities.
The extension of utility services to the property will be prov"ided for by
entering into developer's'extension agreements with t i he proper jurisdictions.
The internal roadways will be built to Meet or exceed local community
standards. Municipal water and sewer services will be necessary tu serve the
various commercial uses.
The following pages include the ' specific policies, objective5l and strategies
to accomplish the overall goal of building a golf course that will incorporate
a hotel with convention facilities and a planned community development for
those desiring townhouse or single family living.
