MEDICAL A request by Holly Snyder and Medical Arts Pharmacy for a ARTS/SNYDER conditional use permit to allow an existing building to be CONDITIONAL USE converted to a drive -through' espresso shop and deli in an H-1 PERMIT zoning district at 211 Conway Drive. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation on staff report KCU-99-9 in which staff recommends that the conditional use permit be / J1 approved subject to three conditions. Wilson explained that this request is to use approximately 664 square foot portion to convert to a drive through espresso shop. She noted that a provision might be needed to allow for increased stacking or pull up parking if the four spaces allotted does not seem to be enough or becomes a problem. There are 22 parking spaces currently so the required parking is more than met with existing parking. Mann questioned the required parking and Wilson explained that the espresso shop will need 9 spaces, the pharmacy 8 spaces for a total of 17 required spaces and there is currently 22 spaces allotted for that building. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS Holly Snyder, applicant, spoke in favor of the application stating that she believes this shop will primarily serve the area medical community and therefore traffic won't become a problem. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Heinecke stated that there might be some traffic generated but Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 14 the area should be able to handle the additional traffic. He does not see any potential problem and he is in favor of the application. Mann stated that his concerns would be for ambulance traffic interference. Wilson stated that the fire and emergency services have seen the plan and have no problem with them as presented. Garberg asked about the average wait for each customer. Holly Snyder explained that it would be fairly fast and would probably be faster than a deposit at a bank. There is also potential for moving the cars forward and delivering the coffee. Mann asked and Snyder answered that there are two entrances but the traffic flow has to generate on the side of the window. The bank generally had good traffic flow. Rice asked Wilson to explain condition two and she stated that she put that in to give the council the opportunity to discuss with the property owners of Medical Arts about creating some sort of through traffic between Conway Drive and Sunnyview Lane because this is one of the few logical places that a through road could exist. MOTION Brenneman moved and Hines seconded to adopt staff report KCU-99-9 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the conditions as outlined in the report. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to recommend approval of the conditional use permit for an espresso shop passed unanimously. DRAFT KALISPELL A presentation and public hearing on the draft of the Kalispell CITY -COUNTY MASTER City -County Master Plan and land use map. PLAN AND LAND USE MAP Stevens stated that he would like to set up some ground rules, they have had quite a bit of public testimony on the master plan revisions over the past year and a half and he would ask that if the person speaking previously was saying the same thing that another person wished to say, they would appreciate it if they just stated that they agreed with the previous speaker and try not to be repetitious. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation of the draft Master Plan and land use map. She explained that this is a comprehensive amendment and update to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan and the staff report gives a broad basis of what has gotten them to this point. Staff recommends that a public hearing be held and Resolution KMPA-99-1 be adopted, any revisions made, and Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 14 forwarded with a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council and the Board of County Commissioners. She explained that the geographical information systems (GIS) technician has built a map including many layers in order to show the area covered by this plan and then to mark the areas included in the plan. There have been three years of work by the planning board, staff, and public input through a random survey, which has gone into the draft as well as several committees that drafted independent plans, which a consensus committee then combined into the 1998 draft that was then presented to the board. The board has held weekly meetings making revisions to the plan and the result is the final draft dated October 20, 1999. During that time the legislature passed changes in the state statute regarding master plans and the name of the document has been changed to a `growth plan', and those statute changes will need to be looked at further by staff, and legal council, to insure that this draft plan is in compliance with the new statutes that came into effect October 1, 1999. Garberg asked and Wilson answered that it is her recommendation that the public be allowed to include comments on all aspects of the process and information gathering, as well as the draft plan. Before the board tonight is the '99 draft, however one cannot look just at this plan, where we have been and how we got here should also be included. Stevens stated that there has been a misconception about the (� process and the staff report that there was a board review of the previous draft and the board did not review the `98 draft as it is currently or was previously constituted. It was not approved, it would not have been approved, it did not have the votes to be approved and there was no suggestion that it would be approved without serious revisions by this board. The statutes clearly state that the planning board is to prepare and propose a master plan and this draft was prepared by Steve Kountz of the FRDO staff, not the board, and was supposed to be put out to allow for public hearings for the board to have input guiding their consideration of their revisions. The board did not vote on that plan, did not have a majority to approve that plan and he wanted to get that straight right from the start. As far as he is concerned if they want to look at previous plans then they should go back to the '86 plan and the '99 draft plan and see what it was as compared to what it is. There are not two plans there is one, the '99 draft, and it was a process that was started and followed through by the planning board. Brenneman noted that it was Steven's `opinion' that the `98 draft would not have been approved and in fact there was no vote actually taken. Stevens stated that it was never brought to the board in total. Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 14 Hines requested that the public comment be limited to 3 1 minutes per individual, noting that there will probably be further public hearings and that would insure that everyone would have an opportunity to speak. Stevens asked that they play it by ear for the first 20 to 25 minutes to see how it goes. Hines stated that if individuals are allowed longer in the beginning then it would not be fair if those who wished to speak later were not allowed the same amount of time. Sipe stated that he would rather go for 25 minutes and see how it goes and if they get into 15-20 minute deals then that's it, they would not stay there until 2 in the morning. Garberg stated that it would not be fair to later speakers and he would prefer a time limit starting at the beginning. It has been his experience that people have been able to say everything they wish within the three minutes. Stevens again asked that the audience act responsibly and get through their comments as quickly as possible and to please not repeat what previous speakers have said. What he is looking for some real input to tell what the public would like to have included or deleted in this plan, or if there are some concrete suggestions to improve this plan then please try to give the board help. Don't make this a public relations effort to discredit the board or the process, please try to stick to the facts of the four elements of the plan. Keep the comments relative to the plan itself and move along as fast as they can and not repeat things. Brenneman moved and Sipe seconded to limit public input to five minutes per individual and if someone wishes to stay and talk later then they may do so. On a vote by acclamation the motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak in favor of the plan. PROPONENTS Lex Blood, 844 3rd Ave East, stated that he was one of the committee members that participated in the effort to assist in the rewrite of the master plan. He was under the impression that he was partaking in a genuine, realistic, citizen based effort to assist in revamping the master plan. They met for six months, as did the other committees, and after reviewing the entire plan came up with their version of the plan. And then the consensus committee then came up with the '98 draft. He stated that his point was that there was a substantial amount of Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 14 community effort put into the plan, and that this was done at the request of the previous planning board, to assist in guiding in the development of a plan. Most of the public does not have a copy of that consensus report, but have an eviscerated report that this board has spent several months in preparing. Certainly five minutes is not enough time to go through this and it is the height of arrogance to suggest to anybody that in five minutes they address the substantive changes that this board has made after a years worth of effort by 30 plus people who gave their time to help guide this board with this plan. This board sat down in some 25 meetings, and he commends the board for that, they managed to change the sum and substance of what the citizenry developed in a year's time. He stated that unless the board allows the public ample opportunity to review the plan then they are doing a great disservice to the community. And don't look again for the citizenry to participate. There is a vast amount of cynicism in the land today, and this is the sort of thing that does it. If the board is honestly interested in putting out a plan that they can recommend to the city council and to the commissioners, that represent a broad based perspective, give the citizenry of this jurisdiction an ample opportunity to review what the board has come forward with. They also should know the history that brought this plan to this point. The process is critically important. Stevens commented that the he has always considered that the public hearing is an opportunity for people to teach and C� learn. (Blood stated that his time was up and Stevens stated that he was going to make comments.) Stevens added that the board tries to learn from the public but they also feel that they have an obligation to explain to the public their thought process and what they are thinking. Stevens explained that he was on the committee with Mr. Blood, (Blood and Stevens had comments as to whether Stevens was on the committee or just attended as a public participant), as a member of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board, and he stated that the committee consisted of six government employees, himself and a farmer, and if this was a broad based endeavor then this community must consist entirely of government employees. There were no more meetings conducted by that particular group than there were by this planning board. He has tried not to get into anything other than the contents of this plan because that what he wanted from this public hearing tonight. And if this is going to be construed as a broad based citizen effort then they are going to look at the makeup of those committees and see if seven government employees, one working man and a farmer is what the people intended when they appointed those committees. Ben Long, 920 6+h Ave. East, stated that he has never worked for a government agency, and has attended a whole lot of public U Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 14 meetings and he stated that he has never seen a chairman bring up what someone does for a living and then imply that just because they work for a government agency they are not quote �) working men or women, and that he thought it was pathetic, for the record. Jana Goodman, 200 1st Ave. E., stated that she in complete agreement with Mr. Blood's assessment. Mayre Flowers, Program Direct of Citizens for a Better Flathead, and her comments were on behalf of that group. She stated that she is deeply concerned that the board is sending a message to the community that they do not deeply value public input. She was distressed that this is how the meeting has begun. Critical information was not provided to the public, the document presented at this meeting is a very sanitized document and the changes from the `86 document to the `96 document and then to the `99 document should all have been provided. A town meeting format should be considered, which would include planning and city staff available to answer questions, and showing the revisions to the draft plan and allowing the public to ask questions and make comments. She went on with her comments directed to the two drafts ('98 and '99). She presented written comments on several changes that the Citizens for a Better Flathead would like to see in whatever plan that is ultimately recommended to the city council, to become a part of the record of for this meeting. Dave Bailey, Kalispell resident, stated that the `98 draft was published and in the year plus time since then the board has had 25 meetings that were all open to the public. The document before the public now has thousands of hours of work into it. The board thoughtfully and thoroughly went through the plan and he thanked the board for their serious consideration and he asked that the board pass the '99 draft along to the council and commissioners. Kathleen Schulte, 117 Fairway Blvd., read the goals of the Montana Association of Realtors, they attended many of the board's meetings and it never fails to surprise her that when they get to the end, the people who weren't there seem to be in opposition. She stated that the association sees this as a viable tool that heads the community in the right direction to accomplish those goals. She thanked the board for their efforts. Bill Goodman, 200 1st Ave. E., stated that he is a member of the Montana Association of Realtors and he disagrees with Kathy Schulte and agrees with Mayre Flowers. Nina Wickersham, 759 Greenridge Drive, spoke for her neighborhood and presented a petition signed by the Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 14 neighborhood. She stated that their neighborhood has been moved from suburban residential to urban residential. Theirs is ; a neighborhood of larger lots and acreages, and they do not feel l that urban residential is suited to the neighborhood. They would ask that the small are from Leisure Drive north and east of Willow Glen be turned back to suburban agriculture. Even though Stevens commented that those are zoning designations and would be dealt with through zoning, she believed that because of the meetings they have attended where they have been told that the application complies with the master plan therefore tough luck, or other meetings where applications that do not comply with the master plan and they are then told that the master plan is not made in concrete. So they would like to be included in the suburban residential and they would then continue to be in compliance with the master plan. Stevens commented that those comments that Mayre Flowers was bringing before the board had already been ably brought to the attention of the board through Narda Wilson, and that her concerns were not necessarily overlooked. That these issues were discussed during the deliberations of this board and they were surprised that there was not someone from Citizens for a Better Flathead at every meeting. Russell Crowder spoke for Montanan's for Property Rights, he stated that he attended many of the board's meetings, and had ample opportunity to give input. He stated that this proposed document, probably for the first time in dealing with land use planning in Flathead County, gives consideration to owners property rights, and that these are valuable rights and they are worthy of all of the other considerations and factors that deal with land use planning. This hasn't been done in the past and may be why groups like Citizens for a Better Flathead are unhappy. He thanked the board for that and stated that his group supports this document and they recommends moving it on the council and commissioners, and that they are looking forward to making specific comments further along in the process. He added that the Montanan's for Property Rights have consistently fought against impact fees. He fords it ludicrous that a representative of Citizens for a Better Flathead would have a concern that this plan will result in higher taxes or fees. They are the main proponents for impact fees in the Flathead County. Ted Schlegel, 408 Ashley Court, thanked the board for the time that they have spent on this plan. He stated that the plan is headed in the right direction. Throughout the plan it talks about encouraging different types of land use planning, and there are two ways to encourage, one is with a big stick and one is with incentives. He is a proponent of changing `encourage' to provide some kind of incentives, because he is concerned that Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 14 the word encourage would mean that they will regulate it. Milt Carlson, 375 Grandview Drive, presented a written statement to the board to become a part of the record. He stated that he participated in the first 2 1/2 years of this process. He stated that he is for a good master plan, but the `99 revisions move so far from the intent of the previous plan that he cannot support it. He asked that the board take SB97 into consideration as well as the other language in the statutes in .regard to a master plan. Stevens commented that he wished that people had participated in the some 25 meetings that the board had held so that they would understand the board's rationale in making changes to the `98 draft. We have had reference to this urban growth boundary and their feeling about it was that given the realities of our county, for one thing if they drew that little line around the city and prevented anything on the outside of that line from being anything less than 20 acres, given the fact that the jurisdictional boundary is only four miles, and this was out quite a ways that what they would in fact be doing, people wouldn't be able to build outside of that urban boundary, people would jump the jurisdictional boundary of the Kalispell planning board, and by putting that in there they would have in fact probably increased the speed and the scope of what he calls dispersed development. He is frustrated that the very concerns that some people are bringing up are ones that the board went over in those meetings, and they may have found out that there were good reasons for these changes that may well have been in line with some of their interests. He personally replaced the term "sprawl" with "dispersed development" because he wanted to try to get some rationality in the discussion because there are certain buzzwords that are in all fields and when we start talking about things like urban sprawl, open. space, what happens is that as soon as they say urban sprawl there is immediate negative connotation that. stops rational consideration of the reality of it. But when they talk about dispersed development versus concentrated development he thinks they can get an actual realistic discussion without the buzzwords and emotions associated with the buzzwords. So although they mean exactly the same thing, he personally thought they could get a more rational discussion if the term "dispersed development" were used instead of sprawl. Mayre Flowers again spoke giving detailed information on the changes that the group would like to see made, as per her written documentation. i) Kathy Williams, 1700 Steel Bridge Road, stated that she agreed Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 14 with Mayre Flowers comments. Mary Gibson, 505 6th Ave. E., stated that she agreed with Mayre C) Flowers comments. Tatsy Guild, 3165 Foothill Road, stated that she agreed with Mayre Flowers comments. B. J Carlson, 375 Grandview Drive, stated that she agreed with Mayre Flowers comments and added that she has two concerns that the public should be involved, and that she does not believe disbursed development is something that this community wants. We have the opportunity to remain unique and if dispersed development is allowed along the highways we will look like Any Town, USA. Judith Pressmar, 844 3rd Ave. E., stated that she agreed with Mayre Flowers comments and added that this is what our lives will look like for the next 10 or 20 years . and she believes the public should have more of an opportunity for the public to be involved. Cal Williams, 1800 Steel Bridge Road, stated that he agreed with Mayre Flowers comments. Scott Damler, 319 3rd Ave. E., stated that he does not support the comments of Mayre Flowers. He added that he has watched individual rights be taken away by the natural resource industry; it destroys the tax base and the economy. He never thought he would hear people want to do the same things to the county. Those speakers are talking about taking away the individual's property rights and telling people what they can and can't do on their own land. This valley requires so many permits and government baloney and they are destroying the valley. He added that he sees the Citizens for a Better Flathead as the Citizens for a Socialist Flathead. Alex Hilton, Kila, stated that he would ask that the chairman show some leadership at this point and not allow further attack and degradation of speakers and base it on some fairness. Stevens commented that from the very beginning the comments were not about the specifics of the master plan. From Mr. Blood on down. For you (Mr. Hilton) to jump up and require him to censor somebody else after person after person has stood up and attacked the process without once mentioning the text or the map is a little disingenuous so he is going to continue to allow people at this public hearing to present their opinions. Verdell Jackson, 555 Wagner Lane, stated when in another state 1 Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 14 he was unable to develop his property and had to sell it for a loss. Environmentalists wrote the planning documents in that state. And when he tried to use the land he paid for, they stopped him from using it, which allowed them to use it for free. He would not support allowing that in this county and city and he supports individual property rights and this plan recognizes that people have to make a living with their property, and this plan brings this balance back in. Kathy Aldridge, 328 7h Ave. W., stated that when she lived in another state she watched as the air became smoggy, the streets became crowded, the crime rate rose, there was no longer and open space, and property lost values. And she sees the community in a position to keep that from happening here. This is a perfect time to preserve and protect this town as it is and try to make wise choices, to listen to everyone and to have a vision and in that plea she supports Mayre Flowers comments. Russell Crowder stated that he proposes that the following be added to the plan, "none of the terms, provisions, recommendations, or requirements outlined by this proposed growth management plan will apply to private property", and if this is included then the Montanan's for Property Rights will agree with the recommendations set forth by the Citizens for a Better Flathead to delete all references to `private property rights'. Mann asked why Mayre Flowers or any members of the Citizens for a Better Flathead did not attend the workshops, and he stated that he appreciated her comments and would like a copy of her comments. Flowers stated that members had attended work sessions and she did not believe public comments were listened to or considered and she understood that the public hearing was the time for such input. It was explained that the board would discuss the plan and make decisions on where the board would so from here. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Sipe asked and Wilson explained that the document would have to be reviewed by the city attorney and she is not in a position to comment on whether this would meet all of the legal requirements of SB97. Sipe stated that the public should have been at the work sessions. He also stated that people have private property rights as allowed by the constitution. The Fifth amendment states that private property should not be taken for public use without just compensation. He stated that the West Valley plan takes 76 percent and demands that it be open space Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 11 of 14 forever. A man could not use his land without first going through someone else and that is the taking of private property. He concluded that people have a right to private property. Stevens stated that the staff recommendation is to adopt the resolution and recommend this to the council and commissioners. He stated that in the course of the hearing SB97 was brought up which took affect the 1st of October, and the board may need to make some revisions to the draft in order to comply with state statute. He added that he thinks the board should talk about that and he has not had time to review SB97 and he does not think this should be sent on until they have had time to further review this. The board should schedule another meeting and they should consider this further. He also has problems with their compliance with the process as written in their own draft and he would not want to violate their own plan. The board should discuss further meetings to address the draft and SB97. Garberg asked if they should get legal council to insure compliance with the SB97 and Wilson stated that so far no one has come up with a comprehensive idea and she would ask the Dept. of Commerce and see what they would recommend to reconcile this plan with the statute changes. Garberg questioned whether a future meeting of the board could be fruitful until they have those answers. Stevens stated that he would not be comfortable sending a plan forward without consideration of the statute changes and they should make a good faith effort to meet the `must includes' of the statute. They should try to reconcile this plan with state statute and their own plan on process requirements. Rice agreed with Stevens, that they should make a good faith effort to comply with statute and also to consider the comments from tonight before moving forward with the plan,. Mann suggested putting off to the next regular meeting. Heinecke said it should be a work session and it should be a town meeting type of session, and there should be further public comment. He also stated that he is encouraged by the public comment tonight. Steven suggested a workshop at which they would consider holding further public meetings. Stevens thinks the council should be asked what they want the Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 14 board to do. MOTION Sipe moved and Rice seconded to have a work session Tuesday, November 16the, to include further consideration of the process that they need to follow as well as the legal issues and to consider public input. Brenneman commented that he does not support the document at all, and he did not believe that the committees' input was considered, as it should have been. The merits of the committees were not discussed and they have unwittingly shown this boards dysfunction, they often rejected information because of the messenger, all to often the rules were based on simplistic anecdotal personal reference, a vision document should not be tied down with that, he is in a dilemma as he cannot support the document 4M {"there are extensive problems, and he also wished to say that he respects the board as individuals. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to have a work session on Tuesday passed unanimously. PROTEST PROVISION A request by the Flathead Regional Development Office for an TEXT AMENDMENT amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance that changes the protest provision for municipal zoning. n STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation on staff report KZTA-99-6 in / which staff recommends that the text amendment as written in the staff report be made to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. Wilson stated that there is a typo it should be 99-7. She explained the changes. Sipe asked and was answered that each of these changes are simply to comply with state law. PUBLIC BEARING The public hearing was opened and no one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Heinecke asked about #4 and it was clarified. MOTION Brenneman moved and Garberg seconded to adopt staff report KZTA-99-7 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed amendment be made to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to recommend the text amendment passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS OLD BUSINESS There will be a full agenda next month. There are planning board appointments that will expire on Kalispell City -County Planning Board November 9, 1999 Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 14 December 31, 1999 and staff asks that those members that are interested get their letters in as soon as possible. Stevens commented that he did not like limiting individual comments and he would not like to do that in the future. Brenneman stated that he thinks it is very fair and this gives each member of the public ample time to speak as well as insuring that there is time for everyone to speak. ADJOURNMENT The next regular meeting will be December 14, 1999 at 7 p.m. The meeting was adjourned by motion at approximately 9:50 p.m. fzvlw czt�_ te7 , President is ask ecording Secretary Care S LS, Vice.
