I4. Reso 6115 Stillwater Bend ExtDevelopment Services Department 201 1st Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/planning REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager FROM: PJ Sorensen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Resolution 6115 - Stillwater Bend Phase 1 — Preliminary Plat extension MEETING DATE: January 3, 2023 BACKGROUND: This is a request by Spartan Holdings to extend the preliminary plat for Stillwater Bend Phase 1 for two years. The preliminary plat for Stillwater Bend Phase 1 was approved February 3, 2020. Condition 14 of the preliminary plat states that "the preliminary plat shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of approval," which is in accordance with 28.2.06(E)(7) of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. Accordingly, the expiration date for the plat is February 3, 2023. The subdivision regulations provide for a two-year extension request and the applicant has provided a letter requesting a plat extension. The applicant has been under construction and is preparing for final plat for Phase 1 this spring. Recent supply chain issues and winter weather have created the short delay in the completion date. If the extension is not granted, the applicant will be required to go back through the Major Preliminary Plat process prior to final plat approval. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 6115, a resolution extending the Stillwater Bend Phase 1 preliminary plat for an additional two years. FISCAL EFFECTS: Positive impacts if approved. ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.
