Preliminary plat approval is recommended with 15 conditions. Condition #8 requiring parkland dedication should be deleted. Based on a discussion with Tom Sands, staff concluded that the site has considerable open space for recreational use. DeGrosky asserted the need for a streamside management zone of a minimum of 50' from the stream bank, with natural undisturbed vegetation. 2 !� Public Hearing Carol Phillips, representative for the developer, Proponents described the proposal. They have a concern about the 50 foot streamside protection zone along the Whitefish River, as this would push those lots into the golf course and possibly render them unbuildable. Rod Bitney, representative for the developer, echoed this concern with the protection zone along the Whitefish River encroaching on the long-term plan for the golf course development. Opponents There were no speakers in opposition to the proposal. The public hearing was closed. Discussion Board consideration resumed on the establishment of a streamside management zone to maintain the integrity of the river corridor.

MACKER ZONE Hash introduced a request by Robert and Wendy Macker to CHANGE / amend the West Side Zoning District by changing the R-5 TO B-3 zoning on approximately 0.54 acres from R-5 Two Family Residential to B-3 General Business under the former regulations (B-2 under the current regulations), in accordance with the Flathead County Zoning Regulations (Flathead County Resolution No. 955A). The property is located on the southwest corner of US Highway 93 and Shefferd Lane. The site is described as Assessor's Tract 11-2 in the NE4NE4 of Section 29, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County. Staff Report Parsons presented an overview of report #FZC-94-04. He explained the zone change request from R-5 to a General Business designation, which is B-3 under the old zoning ordinance and B-2 under the new regulations. Based on statutory evaluation for a zone change request, staff recommended approval. Public Hearing There were no speakers either for or against the requested zone change. The City received a call from a property owner to the west who was not opposed to the commercial zone designation, but had concerns with traffic and •the road conditions. Parsons spoke with the property owner immediately to the west who expressed a desire to be included in the zone change to a commercial classification. There being no further public input, the hearing was closed. .19 Motion Bahr moved to accept report #FZC-94-04 as findings of fact and recommend the County Commissioners grant approval of the zone change from R-5 to B-2. Hodgeboom seconded. On a roll call vote, Hodgeboom, Bahr, Carlson, DeGrosky, Kennedy, Sanders and Hash voted aye. YACHECHAK Next item was a request by Ken Yachechak for a zone ZONE CHANGE change from B-2 to I-1 on approximately 0.8 acres B-2 TO I-1 located about 400 feet south of US Highway 2, east of Meridian Road, described as Lot 2 of the Amended Subdivision of a portion of Walter Addition #40, in the SW4 of Section 7, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Staff Report Parsons presented report #KZC-94-1. Based on evaluation in accordance with statutory criteria the requested zone change from B-2 to I-1 was recommended.

Motion Bahr moved to adopt report #KZC-94-1 as findings of fact, and recommend to City Council that the zone change be approved from B-2 to I-1 as requested. DeGrosky seconded. On a roll, call vote, the Board voted 7-0 in favor of granting the zone change request. MOUNTAIN The next public hearing was on a request by Mountain PAGING Paging Network, Inc. for a Kalispell Zoning Ordinance NETWORI{ / Text Amendment to allow "Telecommunications companies TEXT AMENDMENT and/or radio common carriers with ancillary antennas" in Section 27.13.030, Conditional Use Permits in the B-1 Neighborhood Business zone. Staff Report Parsons presented report #KZTA-94-01, which analyzed the issue of allowing an antenna in the B-1 Neighborhood Business zone as a conditional use. Staff evaluated the criteria for a text change and recommended that the Kalispell City Zoning Ordinance be amended to include "Telecommunications Companies and/or Radio Common Carriers, with ancillary antennas." in Chapter 27.13 Neighborhood Business, Section 27.13.030 Uses Which May be Permitted by Conditional Use Permit. Public Hearing Doug Johns, owner of Mountain Paging Network, explained In Favor the reason for the text amendment request. By moving out of the downtown area, he could enhance the business and would have an opportunity to employ handicapped persons, as well as provide access to handicapped —1 customers. The business use will be low impact, with low traffic generation. There being no further testimony either for or against the proposed text amendment, the public hearing was closed and the meeting opened to Board deliberation. 5 Discussion In answer to the Board's questions, Mr. Johns described the existing business located in the Glacier Building in downtown Kalispell. He explained how .the transmission works, the type of tower used, and the antennas. He assured the Board that the business requires a license and must adhere to the guidelines specified by the FCC. The antenna must be physically above the power lines at a maximum height of 70 feet. Kennedy had major problems with a text amendment. The Kalispell Development Corp. has requested that antennas not be allowed at all in the downtown business area, not even as a conditional use. It was suggested an area be designated to locate antennas, e.g. on the water tower on Buffalo Hill. Antennas do not have to be located with the businesses. She believes that it would be an eyesore in a residential area. DeGrosky had concerns with the definition of a B-1 zone. He stated that clustering antennas does not work. There is too much interference, and is highly technical. He questioned the nature of a neighborhood business in a B-1 zone. Hash also voiced concerns on the criteria for meeting a B-1 zone. This business draws from outside the neighborhood. Asking for a text amendment so that one person can benefit, has a far reaching impact not restricted to a single business. There was a general concensus that the overall ramifications of a text amendment could be incompatible with the strict definition of a neighborhood business, however could be mitigated with the conditional use process. Brian Wood, 27.35.00 referred to the Zoning Ordinance for a definition of an antenna, stating specific criteria. The Board has safeguards in the conditional use process. Adjacent land uses are not limited to neighborhood clientele. Impacts to a neighborhood were compared to other allowed/permitted uses in a B-1 zone, as well as existing businesses in the vicinity. The Board agreed there was a need to redefine B-1 Neighborhood Business zone classification. Motion Hodgeboom made a motion to send forward approval of staff's recommendation to change the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance text and adopt the findings of fact in report #KZTA-94-01. Sanders seconded. On a roll call vote DeGrosky, Hodgeboom, Bahr and Sanders voted aye. Kennedy, Hash and Carlson voted nay. The motion carried on a 4-3 vote to recommend a text amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to include Telecommunication companies and/or radio, common carriers, with ancillary antennas as a conditional use. DEMEESTER & Hash introduced a request by. Ron and Sharon DeMeester JOHNS / and Doug Johns of Mountain Paging Network, Inc. for a [1 CONDITIONAL conditional use permit in accordance with Section USE PERMIT 27.13.030 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to allow an antenna ancillary to a telecommunication company in the B-1 zone. The use is located in the old Coca Cola building at the northwest corner of Oregon Street and US Highway 93. The address is 13 Oregon Street, more specifically in Kalispell Addition #5 on Lots 7,8, and 9 of Block 231. Staff Report Parsons reviewed the request as evaluated in report #KCU-94-01, and recommended granting the permit subject to five (5) conditions in the report, with the addition of condition #6: "The intended use must comply with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance." Public Hearing Sharon DeMeester, spoke for Kit Hunter, Flathead In Favor Building Association, whose property is located directly behind the building. He is very much in favor of this use. Sharon DeMeester, property owner speaking for herself, was in favor. The existing Coca Cola pole is already high. She showed Board members a picture of the building design which is approximately 28 feet in height. All the neighbors she had spoken to are in favor of the requested use. The traffic will be light and no ..noise at night. All of them were glad that Coca Cola has gone. Doug Johns, the applicant, wanted to put the Board at ease regarding the mono pole with the antenna attached. He appreciated their concern, but assured them it was a low intensity use. Opposition No one spoke in opposition to the conditional use permit. There being no further comment, the public hearing was closed. Discussion The height of the antenna was the focus of discussion. Mr. Johns answered Board questions regarding the equipment, and the technicalities involved with the operation of a telecommunications business: He cited examples of other antennas and towers which are more obtrusive than this will be. Motion Kennedy made a motion that report #KCU-94-01 be adopted as findings of fact and forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to grant the conditional use permit subject to the six (6) conditions, as amended. DeGrosky seconded. On a roll call vote Bahr, Carlson, Hodgeboom, Sanders, DeGrosky, Kennedy and Hash voted unanimously in favor of granting the conditional use permit. It was noted for the record, that they were not in opposition to Mountain Paging Network's proposed use. 7 Their concern was with the text amendment to allow antennas in a B-1 zone district. The Board would like to see the issue addressed as a zoning ordinance amendment, rather than have changes piecemeal. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. NEW BUSINESS A special meeting on the North Meridian Neighborhood Plan is scheduled for March 22 at 7:00 p.m. The public hearings on the draft EIS for Highway 93 from Somers to Whitefish will be held that same night at Cavanaugh's from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Written comments can be submitted to Kennedy, who serves on the technical advisory committee. Carlson announced that a video of Ed McMahon's, Scenic America, presentation at the annual CFBF meeting is available. Members who attended, commented on how inspiring the presentation was. Rumors of a petition drive to rescind the county building permit process was discussed. The Board agreed to send a letter to the County Commissioners supporting the concept of a building permit program. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Therese Fox Hash, President E1 zab h Ontko, Recording Secretary 1 APPROVED: ar,) N KALISPELL CITY -COUNTY PLANNING BOARD AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING MARCH 22, 1994 SPECIAL MEETING NORTH MERIDIAN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CALL TO ORDER President Hash called the special -meeting of the AND ROLL CALL Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission to order at :08 p.m. Board members present were Lopp, DeGrosky, Carlson, Kennedy, Hodgeboom, and Hash. Sanders an Fraser had excused absences. -- John Parsons, Senior Planner represented the Flathead ��s�nb� Regional Development Office. There were approximately 40 persons in the audience. NORTH MERIDIAN The special meeting was called to hold a public hearing NEIGHBORHOOD on a proposal by the City of Kalispell to amend the PLAN Kalispell City -County Master Plan on approximately 300 acres. This Master Plan Amendment is known as the North Meridian Neighborhood Plan. The area is generally bounded by Idaho Street (US Highway 2) on the -south; 7th Avenue WN on the -east; US Highway 93 and Wedgewood Lane on the north; and Hawthorne Avenue and Northern Lights Boulevard on the west. This Plan Amendment deals with such issues as land use, transportation, services, and safety. Staff Report Parsons explained the maps displayed depicting (1) the existing land use, (2) existing zone classifications, (3) the existing general plan, (4) the proposed general plan, and (5) the proposed transportation plan. He presented an introduction to the North Meridian Neighborhood Plan, which is an _amendment to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan. He noted that the "Multi -Use" designation for the fairgrounds, is a new classification. A market study for the fairgrounds would indicate the best uses for the property. He requested the Board continue the hearing in order to allow more time to rewrite the Plan. He proposed no changes to the maps or to the document, however felt he needed to expand upon the background data for the Master Plan Amendment. Public hearing has been advertised and public comment will be taken. Public Hearing The meeting was opened to public input and questions. Barbara Dye, 1060 N. Meridian, was in, favor of the neighborhood -plan, however had questions regarding the general designation of her property, (Lots 5 and 6), at the corner of Liberty and Meridian, which showed. a split category -of­commercial and residential on the proposed general use map. She wanted all her property the same designation. Parsons clarified that the map showing the master plan amendment is not a zoning map. Her property was 1 O located in an area of transition and._is designated on the map as general land use categories. John Wells, 1288 N. Meridian, asked why Pacific Power and Light was not commercial. Staff answered that this is a future land use plan, which looks at what kind of land uses would like to be seen in that area if and when PP&L vacates the property. At the previous meetings held in Nov and Jan, it was indicated by the majority of the property owners that this area would be better -suited for residential purposes rather than industrial type of uses. Roger Pales, 375 7th Ave WN, had question regarding the lack of planned. parklands and had concerns about the future of the fairgrounds, becoming all retail. Staff replied that the future of the fairgrounds, if and when it is relocated, would depend on a market study. He explained that all developments require parkland dedication or cash in lieu of parklands. Jim Shaw, 587 W. Colorado, Underhill Subdivision, has heard rumers that Colorado and Arizona are going to be extended. They are presently dead-end streets, in a nice, quiet single family residential area. The extension of Colorado to Meridian would cause problems with increased traffic in the safe, quiet residential area, and add another congested intersection on an already congested street. It would also increase the traffic on 5th Ave W, which is a residential and school area. It would destroy a nice place to live for the convenience, of out-of-town traffic. It is- not necessary. The majority of the traffic would not live in the neighborhood. Dick Mohrenweiser, owns property on N.\Meridian. He commended staff on the amount of work and study done on this project, and felt they had come up with a very realistic plan for the future of this area. Staff has done a great job. Geri Robbins, 637 Underhill Court, had similar concerns as Mr. Shaw. She descibed the traffic pattern on the three way intersection. Traffic attempts to take a short-cut off the highway, turning on a blind corner and then find out it is a dead end. There are frequent accidents there, especially in the winter. Dave Mason, 44 7th Ave West, has a primary interest in the future of the fairgrounds. Since he had not attended the earlier neighborhood meetings- he asked what the majority of the people had desired for this property and how it got the multi -use designation. Parsons answered that the Fair Board and the property owners had indicated a full range of uses. Questions 2 on the transportation plan with regards to the fairgrounds were answered by staff. Robert Wellman, 93 Northern Lights Blvd., asked what the future land use was projected for his neighborhood? He was told that that area is designated as single family residential, and future changes must go through the public hearing process. Rudy Stefanatz, 111 Northwest Lane, owns Lot 23 and would like to sell the property, but can't. He would like to see it zoned -commercial with water and sewer to the property, so he can sell it. Mike, . Colorado, voiced the same concerns for extending Colorado through to Meridian. It is a quiet neighborhood, and he is opposed to having increased through traffic. He asked the status of the intersection at 3-Mile Drive and Meridian? It is planned to be converted into a T-intersection. Dave Lahti, City Service Center, is in favor of the fairgrounds moving. He asked what the plans were for Meridian? Staff answered that as part of the Kalispell Area Transportation Plan, North Meridian will be �J upgraded to a 4-lane to 3-Mile Drive, and 3-lane to the top of the hill on Hwy 93. Andy Young, principal for Russell School, was pleased with the overall plan as it addressed safety concerns the school district had, by improving the infrastructure and bringing the sidewalks up to par. He urged the Board to continue to keep an eye on safety issues and require that sidewalks be a part of new development. Paul Palmer, owns property between Parkway and Meridian and was generally in support of the Plan. He had concerns with the widening of Meridian and expansion of PP&L on the developability of his property. John Wells, asserted that widening North Meridian will turn it into a racetrack. Gary Nystul, addressed the Underhill residents' concerns, by quoting from the Draft North Meridian Plan, pg. 7, items pertaining to their neighborhood. Bruce Jellison, 100 Hawthorne, commented that he is a Montana native and has long been opposed to planning in general, however has lived in a planned community and has to admit it was the best place to raise children. Living on a cul-de-sac, there was no worry about traffic and there were walkways for the kids to walk to school. The street lay -out in Kalispell is poor for 3 \1 traffic. It may be too late for planning, but we have to start somewhere. This is a good place to start. Roger Pales, had more questions about the transportation plan and the future of the fairgrounds. Jeff Lawler, 211 Liberty St. , voiced major concern with the Meridian Pointe development, with relation to the existing land use plan. He questioned the trend toward multi -family land use and stated it was creating an island of the single family neighborhood. Parsons explained that the plan locates the multi -family units near city services rather than expanding into the outlying areas. Kalispell is currently experiencing a shortage of multi -family developments, and this area has been projected to be multi -family. Jim Hobacker, 95 Northern Lights Blvd., felt that a large percentage of single family residential areas was being converted to multi -family. There were numerous questions about the transportation plan and the potential of putting a through street from Arizona or Colorado to Meridian. It was explained that transporation options are based on future development and traffic scenario at full build out. There was considerable discourse on the traffic impacts of a through street on Colorado. Mr. Shaw suggested that rather than having a through street; have two accesses come in from either direction - the south and the west - as cul-de-sacs. He also wanted to commend the FRDO staff for efforts to get local involvement on this plan: The public hearing was closed. Discussion The Board discussed staff's request to continue making a final decision on the North Meridian Neighborhood Plan. Board felt they would like to see a final product prior to a recommendation to City Council. The Board would like to see a text description for the Multi -Use designation, and recognized that there are alot of "ifs" involved with the future of the fairgrounds. Question on condemnation and takings if Meridian is widened. Wood responded that condemnation money is included in the traffic plan. The status of PP&L was discussed. Staff pointed out that it is a nonconforming use that can stay. They cannot expand, and may want to move at a future date. 4 Lopp lauded the community recreational use of the fairgrounds, that it is used on a continual basis. As a public use area it has value. Putting a bike/walking path through it does not replace what the fairgrounds is to the neighborhood as a recreational area. As it is listed now, there are two uses in the multi -use area - commercial and high density with a buffer. A buffer is not a recreational or public area. DeGrosky agreed wholeheartedly. This is 54 acres in the middle of town which gives us an opportunity to strengthen parkland/open space in the community. He strongly urged that open space be included in the multi -use designation. Wood brought up as a point of reference that under the PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance, which would apply to the fairgrounds, mandates 30% of open space. Parsons said he will add open space to the plan and add wording to include a PUD. Lopp referred to the table in the report and voiced his concerns with the conversion of single family into multi -family use. The property owners in the area have legitimate concerns. We need to look at whether we want the entire area multi -family or a mix of land uses. Lopp commented that lots split by different designations needs to be recognized and accomodated for. The Plan needs to provide neighborhoods protection from commercial encroachment. Originally, in the Underhill Subdivision, the road was intended to extend into another single family neighborhood. The proposed general plan indicates two separate classifications of multi -family and single family. He argued that there were strong reasons to segregate and protect single family atmosphere. Considerable discussion ensued on the street drawn through the Underhill Subdivision. The shift from single family to multi -family use was discussed. Keeping neighborhood units together, could be used as a guiding principle as it applies to the development or nondevelopment of roads, and use that as a basis for future decisions. Policy statement on Colorado could read "...the extension of Colorado should be avoided." Motion Kennedy moved to extend the Board discussion with regards to the North Meridian Neighborhood Plan to the May 10th Planning Board meeting. DeGrosky seconded. Discussion followed on the motion. By acclaimation vote, all members voted aye. Dave Mason in the audience requested another public hearing be held on changes to the document. The Board assured him that written comments are accepted at any time, and that if substantial changes occur in the document, they will move to hold another public hearing. 5 OLD BUSINESS There are nine agenda items scheduled for the April meeting. Wood informed the Board that the City B-1 text amendment will be heard at the May meeting. NEW BUSINESS The Highway 93 EIS public hearings held March 22, 23 and 24. ADJOURNMENT A public hearing on the landfill will be held March 23. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Therese Fox Hash, President P El eth Ontko, Recording Secretary APPROVED: — wo3 0
