OPPOSING THE ZONE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT
The Kalispell Planning Board just recommended approval of a
massive housing development called Spring Creek Park, located
between Two Mile Drive and Three Mile Drive next to West Spring
Creek Road.
This decision was so wrong on so many levels. First of all, the parcel
is entirely zoned for single-family homes. It is surrounded on all four
sides by single-family homes. There will be about 200 single family
homes, on small lots, most of them townhouses or row -houses, on
even smaller lots. The developer is also proposing 464 apartment
units, with a height of 45 feet on all of them. In order to do this a zone
change is required and was part of the approval.
No one is arguing that the parcel will be developed, just that the high
density apartments are inappropriate in that location. From the
Kalispell Growth Policy, I quote: "High density housing developments
should be located in close proximity to other necessary services and
incorporate bus stops and shelters in their design." This area is miles
from any "necessary services".
The Kalispell Zoning Regulations define Zone RA1- Residential
Apartment as "Intended to provide for urban areas for multifamily use
and compatible non-residential uses of medium land use intensity. It
should be served with all public utilities and be in close proximity to
municipal services, parks and shopping districts."
Once again, this area is not urban and is miles from any shopping or
other services.
Additionally, within the zoning regulations, section 28.1.3. lists the
purposes of the regulations, among them is No. 8: "The avoidance or
minimization of congestion."
Anyone driving Three Mile Drive knows that road is not adequate for
the traffic volume from 600 plus new homes. There is already one
failing intersection on Three Mile Drive. Two Mile Drive will suffer just
as much with a projected increase in traffic of 85%. The required
transportation study nearly ignored Two Mile and made no mention of
the other apartment complex closer to Meridian, which is only 1/3
completed and will be contributing hugely to congestion when
complete. Two Mile Drive is a narrow county road, with no shoulder
and drainage ditches on both sides. It also has many pedestrians
using it, and with no shoulder, they have no choice except to walk or
bike right in the traffic lanes.
From the Planning Board's own website, I quote their statement of
purpose: "To improve the present health, safety, convenience, and
welfare of Kalispell citizens, and to plan for the future development of
the community to the end:
that highway systems be carefully planned
that new community centers grow only with adequate highway, health,
utility, educational, and recreational facilities."
So again, the board ignored the "careful planning of highway
systems." The board also ignored the health, safety, and convenience
of Kalispell citizens. This statement means that they should be
working for all of Kalispell's citizens, not just the developers.
There is not a reason in the world why this parcel couldn't remain all
single-family and be developed as such. It is the addition of the zone
change and the 464 apartments that increases the congestion to such
an extreme level and blocks sight lines totally. A homeowner who
buys a house adjoining undeveloped land should be able to do his due
diligence and once confirming that the land is zoned single family, he
should be able to count on that remaining.
The adjoining homeowners will be looking at what will amount to a 45 -
foot -tall wall of apartments. The city of Kalispell is not treating
homeowners right. And I do not know how this random zone change
can possibly be legal. What is the point of zoning if it can be changed
on any capricious whim? How is any other homeowner to be assured
that the lot next door to him won't go the same way?
The Planning Board could have done some minimal mitigation, they
could have put in a height restriction that would have taken the
apartments down to two stories. This would have been a big help, but
they chose not to do even that. What this says to me is that is open
season for building in Kalispell, there is no zoning, build what you
want, anywhere you want.
We only hope that the Kalispell City Council will do the right thing on
March 7, for ALL of Kalispell's citizens, not just the developers.
Please attend the meeting if you oppose this type of zoning and let
your voice be heard! March 7th, 2022 7pm at City Hall in Kalispell.
