06-11-91 Planning BoardKALISPELL CITY -COUNTY PLANNING BOARD AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF MEETING
JUNE 11, 1991
CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Therese Fox Hash, President, at
AND ROLL CALL 7:00 p.m. Those present were Hash, Manning, Fraser, Gould, Loop,
Sloan and Kennedy. James Stephens and Larry Dominick had excused
absences. David Greery Senior Planner, represented the Flathead
Regional Development Office.
APPROVAL OF MIN- Manning moved to table approval of the May 14, 1991 minutes until
UTES MAY 14, 1991 later in the meeting. Sloan seconded the motion and it was passed
unanimously.
DEVELOPERS DIVER- Hash introduced the request by Developer's Diversified to discuss
SIFIED PUD their application for a Mixed Use Residential Planned Unit
Development.
Mr. Berrvhill, representing Developers Diversified, stated that he is
concerned since he had felt that they had come up with a fairly
decent proposal. They have digressed a little. He added that they
have thought of putting a mobile home park there, which would be
allowed under the current zoning, or a landfill to fill the back
area, or thought about pig farms. But in retrospect they would like
to make this thing work and have it be the best site in the Kalispell
area and have it be the gateway to the northern area of the valley.
He added that they feel the city of Kalispell has done an excellent
job in that area and want to continue the process.
Doug
Johns
stated that
hopefully by next meeting they will be coming
forth
with
the residential
mixed use proposal bringing the commercial
area
down
to 35%. The
diagram he showed reflected the mixed
residential
concept in
a rough form. He added that by going with the
mixed
use
residential
PUD they will not have to amend the Master
Plan.
He outlined their
proposed schedule.
HALEY ADDITION Hash introduced the petition by Clark Haley for annexation and Light
NO. 248 Industrial I-1 zoning for property generally located on Highway 93,
south of Kalispell, in the vicinity of Hines Automotive Center and
Burton's Warehouse Showroom.
Greer gave the staff report stating that the petitioners want to put
an airport related facility on the property. Currently the property
is zoned B-3 (County General Business). Greer reviewed the 12 public
interest criteria. The property is currently vacant and there is no
public access to the property along Highway 93. Greer stated that a
roadway from U.S. Highway 2 would have to be developed to provide
general access to the property. The property is adjacent to an
airport taxiway and aircraft could have access to this property. Upon
annexation into the city, they can impose certain conditions of
annexation that would address questions such as access. The staff
� > recommended that the property be zoned Light Industrial and be
annexed into the city limits of Kalispell.
1
Public Hearing Hash opened the meeting for comments from proponents of the zoning
request.
Clark Haley spoke in favor of the zoning so that they could develop
the property for airport uses. There are 360 feet of frontage on the
taxiway and wish to build hangars or any other storage related to the
airport.
There being no other proponents, Hash called for opponents to the
zoning. There were no opponents and the public hearing was closed.
Board Questions Sloan stated that she had no problem with the request since it is
compatible with the uses in the area.
Gould asked if the petitioner had any problem with the highway
frontage remaining as General Business? Haley said he did not.
Motion Fraser moved to adopt the findings of fact of the FRDO Staff Report
#KA-91-6 and recommended that the subject propety be zoned General
Business for that tract of land described by Certificate of Survey
#2368 and Light Industrial I-1 for the tract of land described by
Certificate of Survey #2321. Manning seconded the motion. Hash
restated the motion saying that the zoning would be I-1 for both
tracts of land and it passed uanimously. Gould asked for
clarification regarding the motion and asked if the zoning was to be
I-1 for both or General Business for one and Light Industrial for the
other. Hash stated that the zoning would be I-1 for both. Fraser
stated that his motion was for the zoning recommendation of the FRDO
which would have both zoning classifications.
Motion Fraser restated his motion saying that he moved to adopt the findings
of fact of the Staff Report #KA-91-6 and recommended that the subject
property be zoned General Business for that tract of land described
' by Certificate of Survey #2368and Light Industrial I-1 for the tract
of land described by Certificate of Survey #2321. Kennedy seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously in roll call vote.
BALTRUSH ADDITION Hash introduced the Baltrush Addition #240 for property located near
#240 the northerly terminus of Corporate Way, west of the Gibson Addition
to Kalispell with a possible zoning classification of RA-1.
Greer gave the staff report saying that this property was wholly
surrounded on all sides by the city limits of Kalispell. The property
is currently vacant and access is gained from Corporate Way. City
water and sewer services are located there. RA-1 zoning is found
north and west of the property. Commercial zoning is located to the
south and the east. The Master Plan indicates that this is a
transitional area. Greer reviewed the 12 public interest criteria. He
stated that the staff recommendation is for RA-1 zoning
classification. He distributed a letter from Susan L. Miller
supporting the proposed zoning classification. Greer added that many
uses that could be placed on that property under a RA-1 zoning
2
classification would have to obtain approval through the conditional
use permit process.
Public Hearing Hash opened the meeting for public hearing calling for proponents of
the zoning. There were no proponents and she called for comments from
opponents. There were no opponents and the public hearing was closed.
Board Discussion Loop asked if there was any response from the property owners
regarding the annexation and zoning proposed. Greer stated they were
sent a letter but no response was received.
Kennedy noted that the potential use proposed by Susan Miller would
require an RA-1 zoning classification and the property is bordered by
RA-1 also.
Motion Kennedy moved that the Board adopt the findings of fact found in
Staff Report #KA-91-3 and recommended to the City Council that the
property be Residential Apartment RA-1 in accordance to the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. Sloan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously
upon roll call vote.
MAUZEY ADDITION Hash introduced the Mauzey Addition #244. The property is located at
#244 the southwest corner of 8th Street West and 8th Avenue West and is
wholly surrounded by Residential R-4 zoning.
Greer gave the staff report saying that this is a wholly surrounded
by the city limits of Kalispell with a single family dwelling on the
single lot. The property has city water and sewer. The existing use
would be compatible with the proposed zoning. The staff is
recommending that the property be zoned Residential R-4 because of
the surrounding zoning and the character of the property.
Public Hearing Hash called for comments from proponents. There were none and she
asked for comments from opponents. There were no opponents and the
public hearing was closed.
Board Discussion Sloan asked if there were any comments from the property owners.
Greer stated that he has not received comments from the owners.
Motion Sloan moved to adopt the findings of fact found in Staff Report #KA-
91-7 and recommend to the city council that the zoning classification
be Residential R-4 for the subject property. Manning seconded the
motion and it was passed unanimously by roll call vote.
PACK WEST ADDI- Hash introduced the Pack West Addition #239 proposal. The property is
TION #239 located generally between the Ashley Square Mall and Two Mile Drive.
Zoning proposed for this wholly surrounded tract is Residential
Apartment RA-1.
Greer gave the staff report stating that the property is accessed
from Two Mile Drive. He showed the location on a map. There are
presently two residential houses on the property and is currently
\ / zoned Residential R-1 in the county. The proposed zoning
classification of RA-1 is proposed due to the adjoining zoning of
3
Residential Apartment. The Master Plan designates this as a
( ) transitional area from commercial to multi -family. The property is
`-'- physically separated from the commercial designation since access is
off of Two Mile Drive. The zoning classification will maintain the
status quo regarding how the property is currently developed.
Public Hearing Hash opened the meeting for a public hearing and called for comment
from the proponents. There were no proponents and Hash called for
comment from opponents. There were no opponents, therefore the public
hearing was closed.
Board Discussion Lopp asked if there has been comment from the property owners. Greer
stated that they are in the audience but there has been no written
comment.
Motion Sloan moved that the Board adopt the findings of fact found in Staff
Report #KA-91-2 and that the zoning classification for the property
be Residential Apartment RA-1. Lopp seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously on a roll call vote.
RIVERVIEW GREENS Hash introduced the next annexation proposal of Riverview Greens
ADDITION #241 Addition #241. Riverview Greens is a platted subdivision located on
the west side of Whitefish Stage Road which adjoins the city limits
on its southerly boundary. Residential R-3 is proposed.
Greer gave the staff report stating that the process used in this
annexation is that of contiguous lands. The property is not wholly
surrounded; however, this subdivision is subject to the North Village
Sewer District Agreement, which states that those who attach to that
sewer system waive the right to protest annexation into the city of
Kalispell. The subdivision is connected to the North Village Sewer
District, whose sewer mains eventually find their way to the City
Sewer Treatment Plant. Currently, Riverview Greens is zoned
Residential R-5. The subdivision has been fully platted, developed
with roads, water, sewer, hydrants and storm drainage. The lots mimic
the R-3 zoning classification of the city. Therefore, the staff is
recommending that the zoning classification be Residential R-3.
Public Hearing Hash opened the meeting for public hearing calling for proponents.
Louis Reis asked if the property is presently zoned. Greer stated
that the property is zoned Residential R-5 in the county. He further
explained that if the property is annexed into the city then it must
have a city zoning designation rather than a county zoning
classification.
Greer explained what the R-3 zoning classification Would mean.
Louis Reis asked what the affects are to the sewer agreement when a
parcel subject to that agreement is sold. Greer did not want to get
into the legal question but that the sewer agreement simply says that
annexation can be considered when connecting to those facilities.
Since the properties are connected to that facility, it is the city's
opinion that they can annex the property.

Hash asked if there were any opponents. There being none, the oublic
hearing was closed.
Board Discussion Sloan felt that the zoning was appropriate to the development.
Motion Fraser moved to adopt findings of fact found in FRDO Staff Report
#KA-91-5 and to recommend to the city council that the property have
a zoning classification of Residential R-8 if the property is annexed
into the city. Manning seconded the motion and it passed unanimously
by roll call vote.
FAIRWAY ADDITION Hash introduced the next agenda item of Fairway Addition #242. The
#242 proposed annexation is for property known as Fairway Boulevard
Townhouses which adjoin the city of Kalispell golf course and other
residential subdivisions. The property is described as Fairway
Boulevard Townhouses, Phases) I, II, III, IV, and V. Residential R-3
is proposed.
Greer gave the staff report stating that this annexation process is
subject to the same process as Riverview Greens Addition. Fairway
Addition encompasses just the platted lots of Fairway Boulevard
Townhouses. The platted lots have been fully developed with sewer,
water, roads, and curbing. The subdivision is being done in phases.
The recommended zoning classification is Residential R-3. Currently
the property is zoned Residential R-4 in the county. The County R-4
zoning and the City R-8 zoning are virtually identical. The zoning is
not changing except that it is going from county to city zoning. The
townhouses will fit into the city zoning because the subdivision was
approved as a cluster development (which is permitted) in 1979. The
cluster development permit will be honored inside the city limits. If
the property is annexed it will need the city zoning classification
and that is the reason for this hearing.
Public Hearing Hash opened the meeting to public comment and called`for proponents
to speak.
A member of the audience asked what it meant when the Board moves to
adopt the findings of fact. Hash explained that the staff report
contains certain findings that address the public interest criteria.
Sometimes the highlights of the criteria are publicly addressed but
not always since the Board has a copy of them. The member of the
audience asked why they are not made aware of the findings of fact so
that they can respond to them.
Bill Gould felt that the members of the audience should hear the
findings of fact. David Greer read in entirety the 12 criteria found
in the staff report.
Hash reopened the hearing for proponents comments.
There were no proponents wishing to speak. Therefore Hash opened the
meeting for comments from opponents.
Terry Anderson stated that this is an approved planned
( /> but the zoning and annexation is only being proposed on
' planned development. He asked why they would propose
approved planned development? Greer stated that there
description for the platted portion of the approved plan
time the city has only expressed interest in annexing
lots. Mr. Anderson still could not understand it.

is a legal
and at this
the platted
Mary Ann Schindler agreed with Terry Anderson's objection to
splitting the development.
Tom Trumble stated that he was opposed to the zoning because that
would set them up to be annexed if the zoning were changed. He stated
that he could see no good reason to be annexed. He also felt that the
annexation was against the sewer contract which stipulates that the
annexation can take place when 80% of the property is built out.
Currently there are 34 out of 100 developed. He stated that he did
not know of any of the 34 residents that wanted to be annexed.
Hash asked if it is true that the proposed development was for 100
units. Greer stated that the planned development proposed 100 units
but less than that have been platted. Greer further explained the
process of annexation and how the Board is involved in making a
recommendation on the zoning for that property. He added that part of
the process is to prepare an extension of services plan.
Tom Trumble reiterated that he is opposed the zone change.
Others in the audience from that area also voiced their opposition to
being zoned R-3.
Sandy Schindler, president of the Homeowners' Association, stated
that at the last council meeting they indicated that they would not
make comments on annexation until they received the recommendation
from the Planning Board. Kennedy gave the process that the city
council will be following. Mr. Schindler stated that if the property
that is currently platted is zoned with a city zone and annexed into
the city the property directly across the street will still have a
county zone. This means that one side of the street will have city
services and the other side will not. The Evergreen Fire Department
has stated that they can respond to our fire situations faster than
the city can. The only connection that property has to the city is
the fact that the sewer dumps into the city treatment plant of which
the residents are paying 125% for that service. These two zones will
reflect on the property values. He suggested that either all the
property becomes part of the city or it all stays part of the county.
Member of the audience asked to be put on the list to receive an
extension of services report.
Louis Reis stated that he was opposed to the zoning because he felt
that it was spot zoning. He added that when he was a city council
\ / member it was the understanding at that time the area would be
annexed only when it reached 80% occupancy. That included the entire
6
development not just a portion at a time. He asked if the city were
� ) to take over that area is the city going to take over the Evergreen
water system since those lots are connected to Evergreen Water.
A gentleman in the audience asked what precipitated the action to
annex Fairway Townhouses. Greer stated the city council is discussing
the merits of annexation and that this Board must address the zoning
of that property. Kennedy stated that the city council will be
holding a public hearing on annexation on July 15.
There being no further public comment, Hash closed the public
Board Discussion Gould asked why in the zoning consideration only a very narrow strip
would be considered and leave out property to the south of that area
being considered. Greer stated that the city directed the Board to
only consider the platted portions. It might be appropriate for the
Planning Board to make a motion that would reflect that in the event
that the city decides it would be in their best interest to annex the
entire development then the entire property should be zoned City R-8.
Gould felt that, from a zoning standpoint, the Board should consider
the entire development.
Sloan asked if it would be appropriate to state that if the city were
to annex the entire development the R-3 zoning classification should
apply to the whole property. Greer thought it would be appropriate.
Motion Sloan moved adopt the findings of fact found in FRDO Staff Report
#KA-91-4 and to recommend the zoning classification of Residential R-
3 for the portion of the property under consideration and if the city
council were to determine that annexing the remainder of the property
would be appropriate then the Residential R-3 zoning classification
be extended to include the remainder of the property. Gould seconded
the motion.
Gould stated that he would prefer seeing a stronger recommendation
from the planning board that the entire development be given the same
zoning. Sloan felt that could not be recommended by the Board. Gould
felt that the Board could make a recommendation to the effect that it
would make more sense to annex the entire development.
Question Question was called and the motion was passed unanimously in a roll
call vote.
COUNTRY VILLA Hash opened the meeting to the request for preliminary plat approval
CONDOMINIUMS AKA of Country Villa Condominiums, aka Royal Reserve Condominiums, a 24
ROYAL RESERVE -unit condominium development on 8.5 acres off of Garden Drive near
CONDOMINIUMS Country Estates Subdivision.
Recess Meeting was recessed at 8:24 p.m and reconvened at 8:80 p.m.
Staff Report Greer gave the staff report stating that the reason for the two names
is that after the application was submitted they determined that the
second name would be better. This is.a long narrow tract of land with
access off of Garden Drive. With each four-plex there will be four
( / covered parking spaces and there will be parking spaces in the
~ driveway area leading to each four-plex. Greer reviewed the eight
public interest criteria. He cited the following concerns: 1) access
from Garden Drive could be a traffic problem with residents of the
condominiums having to back out onto that road and a possible 150
vehicle trips per day; 2) the back of the property line abuts up
against the storage garages of Mountain Villa Apartments and the West
Valley Fire Chief identified this as a fire hazard; 3) the children
of this subdivision would probably be bused to various schools in
District 5 since Edgerton School is full; 4) West Valley Fire
District had concerns regarding the turn around capabilities at the
end of Garden Drive and cited a need for tanker recharge hydrants; 5)
some parking spaces and planter boxes are proposed inside the county
right-of-way which is unacceptable unless outside of the right-of-
way; 6) there is a lack of curbs, gutters and sidewalks and none are
proposed; 7) County Superintendent feels that it would be
inappropriate for the vehicles to back out onto the county road
right-of-way; 8) possible problems with connecting to the Flathead
Water Company such as needing to upgrade the pump; and 9) on -site
septic systems are proposed and the neighboring developments are also
on septic system of which Mountain Villa is having drainfield
problems, possibly due to personnel rather than actual drainfield
problems. One letter was received from Dennis Schwenk registering his
opposition to the proposal (citing that the development is too
dense). There is an intent to do the subdivision in phases. The
/ property is currently zoned Residential Apartment RA-1 in the county
�--/ and the proposal is consistent with the zoning. The staff is
recommending approval with twenty conditions.
Board Questions Kennedy asked why Greer did not indicate that the hydrants would be
required. Greer stated that condition #12 addressed that issue.
Public Hearing Hash opened the public hearing calling for proponents of the proposal
to speak.
Bob Haffermanv engineer, stated that there is a 12 foot strip of land
between the proposed subdivision and the fence of the Mountain Villa
Apartments which is a drainage ditch that belongs to the property
owned by Mountain Villa and is not included in the plat drawings. He
raised concerns with five conditions. Condition #7 regarding the cul-
de-sac is too restrictive. He handed out drawings showing their
proposal for the cul-de-sac and then explained those drawings. They
are proposing to improve the cul-de-sac to meet the county standard.
He felt that it was unreasonable to require that they build a greater
cul-de-sac than is called for by the regulations. He asked that
condition #7 be amended to read "The cul-de-sac on Garden Drive meet
county standards and that the design of the driveway entrance be
approved by the Flathead Regional Development Office." Hafferman
stated that, concerning condition #9, he did not find where a parking
area is required to be setback five feet from the right-of-way. Greer
stated that this is a condition that the staff feels would be
required for aesthetic purposes. Condition #10 requires a separate
parking area for the development for overflow traffic. He requested
8
striking the portion of the condition about the separate parking area
\ ) since they are providing two parking spaces per unit. He also
^ requested removal of the 20 foot setback from the county right-of-
way. He did not know where they would put the parking if they set it
back 20 feet and what purpose it would serve. Hafferman stated
regarding condition #12 that they have a letter from the Flathead
Utility Company stating that the subject property is within the
service area of the Flathead Utility Company. Further upon receiving
the required approvals, the Flathead Utility Company will provide
water service to the condominiums. He was not sure whether hydrants
could be put on the water system. He requested removing the first two
sentences of Condition #12. Hafferman requested that concerning
condition #20 they would like to have three years rather than two
years for the completion of the preliminary plat requirements.
There were no other comments from proponents and Hash called for
comments from the opponents.
Sandra Farmer, 155 Arbour Drive, stated that the proposed development
would share the same entry off West Reserve Drive, school system,
water system etc. as Country Estates and therefore would seem like it
would be an extension of their subdivision. The lots in Country
Estates are one-half acre, but this subdivision proposal would place
24 families within three lots of her residence, vastly changing the
character of the area. She did not feel that it was compatible with
their development. She felt that the standard of living would
deteriorate immediately and would not provide a buffer between their
development and four-plexes. There could be up to 96 more residents,
48 more children, and 48 more pets immediately adjacent to them. She
did not feel that their development could handle this kind of
increase. She recommended that the property should be developed in
single family residences on one-half acre lots.
Terry Farmer stated that even though Mountain Villa is a multi -family
development it is for adults only and totally separated by buffer
fence and storage units. He reiterated that the density is too high.
Joyce Rauch, 128 Trail Ridge, stated that her property is adjacent to
this development proposal which will be extremely dense.
Debbie Jones, Trail Ridge Road, asked how many people were notified
of this subdivision. [Greer stated that the only requirement is to
notify the immediately adjacent property owners.] Debbie continued by
saying that there are currently 67 houses finished in the Country
Estates subdivision and a number more under construction this year.
The water system is currently inadequate and they are not in favor of
having to increase the water fee in order to replace the pump. She
felt that the water system as it currently exists would be inadequate
due to current problems. There will be increased traffic which will
cause hazards for pedestrians and children. She did not want to have
her child bused somewhere else. She also felt that the value of the
homes in Country Estates would decrease due to this development. She
\ / felt that this would become part of their development and the area is
too small for that density.
9
Chris Dabneyrecommended that the property be kept for single family
residential use.
Bill ? stated that he would be against the proposal.
Sherry Carlburg asked how thg parking would be sufficient and she
felt that the development would cause a major traffic jam.
A member of the audience asked how the property was currently zoned.
The property is currently zoned Residential Apartment RA-1. The
density could be that of the Mountain Villa.
There being no further comment from opponents, the public hearing was
closed.
Board Discussion Kennedy stated that she has some problems with the entrance to the
subdivision.
Fraser asked if the roads in the Country Estates Subdivision are
private? Greer stated that they used to be private but they are now
county roads. Fraser asked how much separation there is between
Garden Drive and the Mountain Villa entrance. Greer stated that there
is about 80 feet.
Hash asked Mr. Hafferman how feasible it was to establish the
/ \ landscaping barrier. Mr. Hafferman stated that the units could not be
�-/ moved back much due to amount of drainfield required. Now with having
to put in another 1/2 parking lot per unit that again cuts down on
space available for additional landscaping. There will be landscaping
at the drainage ponds and more between the parking areas and the
boulevard. He presented a sketched idea of how that would look. They
have changed the design so that there could be extra landscaping in
the front.
Loop
asked
where the developers would be able
to put an additional
four
units
that have been hinted at? Howard
Ferguson stated that
there
has
been discussion about bringing sewer
to the area and if
that
were
to happen then four more units could
be placed where the
reserve
drainfield is now placed.
Fraser asked if there would be any Health Department review of the
hook ups proposed to the Flathead Utility Company? Bob Hafferman
stated that the water lines exist in the street and all the
subdivision would be doing is installing individual service lines.
Greer stated that the FRDO would require a certificate of Health
Department approval before the Revised Preliminary Plat could be
approved. The approval would cover the septic and drainfields and the
hook up to the water system.
Manning asked
where the
extra
parking
could
be placed? Hafferman
�J
showed him how
they would
lay it
out on a
plat
he provided.
10
Gould asked why sidewalks were not being required when they were
required for the subdivision on West Evergreen? Greer stated that the
previous subdivision had internal private roads with high density.
The only place that sidewalks could be placed is along Garden Drive.
Greer also added that Country Estates does not have sidewalks.
Lopp felt that omitting the sidewalks would be inconsistent.
Gould stated that due to the topography the density is squeezed in
with no room for adjustment. He felt that the density was as much as
it could be. The request for additional parking is valid. He also
felt that if there was a problem with the drainfield there would not
be any room to deal with the problem. In general he felt that it was
too dense. He felt that he would be more comfortable with half the
density. Hafferman stated that they have provided for drainfield
reserve of equal size to the drainfield. The soil is good for
drainage. Gould felt that the sewage would tend to drain to the
river.
Lopp asked how Greer felt about the request of the developers to
adhere to the regulations for the cul-de-sac rather than the request
of the West Valley Fire Department. Greer stated that the Subdivision
Regulations are the minimum request but that the staff often requests
what the fire department indicates they need.
Sloan felt that this was too dense for the area.
Howard Ferguson stated that as the developer he lives in Mountain
Villa and that he was developing this property with the idea of
providing a nice living place for adults who did not want the
responsibility of taking care of a large property.
Randy Jones presented an artist's conception of what the development
would look like. The property is zoned Residential Apartment. No pets
would be allowed. Something like this would be more appropriate than
to have Hagadone develop another 100 units to Mountain Villa. He
added that as soon as sewer is available they would plan to install
sewer at their own expense. The whole area will have more density
soon. Someone will build on this property eventually.
Gould statedthat he is not opposed to the overall concept but that
it is packed in too tight. Howard Ferguson, Dave Greer and Dawn
McAlister stated that they can meet the setback even with the
additional five foot for landscaping.
Fraser stated that there is no latitude for error and therefore it
would be better to have fewer units. He also felt that there are
other parcels that lend themselves to this type of development easier
than this location does.
Manning stated that one of the developers mentioned there would be no
pets and in the absence of covenants are there any other covenants
that are being considered? Randy Jones stated that the covenants have
11
not yet been completed but they will be forthcoming. He added that
\ / they are targeting the older community.
Greer stated that if there were some specific items the Board would
want to address in the covenants now would be the time to make those
conditions. They only have a general format at this time.
Lopp stated that even though the design has met all of the details of
the regulations but the impact on the adjacent areas must be
considered. If the density significantly impacts the adjacent
neighborhood, there must be adjustments. At this time he felt that he
could not support the proposal.
Motion Manning moved to adopt the findings of fact found in the FRDO Staff
Report FPP-91-17 and based on the comments and input concerning
affect upon the neighborhood the recommendation is for denial of the
preliminary plat request. Lopp seconded the motion.
Gould asked if there was any other alternative to denial such as
reducing the number of units. Manning felt that it should be denial
at this time. If they wanted to come back with covenants and fewer
units later, they could.
Fraser called the question and the motion passed unanimously.
APPROVAL OF MIN- Fraser moved to approve the minutes for the May 14, 1991 meeting.
UTES MAY 14. 1991 Kennedy seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
WORK PROGRAM Hash introduced the discussion on the 1991-1992 work program for the
1991-1992 Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission.
Greer stated that the Board must decide what will be on the work
program fro the coming year. He stated that the Site Plan Review
Committee agreed that the Airport Neighborhood Plan and the North
Meridian Road Neighborhood Plan would be appropriate.
Gould asked about a park plan for Lawrence Park. He felt that it
would be appropriate for the Planning Board to have some input.
Manning felt that the city needed to develop their plan through the
parks department and he suggested Gould serve as the arm of the
Planning Board with the Park Board in order to keep the Board
informed in the event that there is something that needs to be
addressed by the Board.
Motion Manning moved to adopt the two items raised by Greer for the work
program for 1991-1992. Fraser seconded the motion and it passed
' unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS None.
NEW BUSINESS Hash asked if the Board wanted to go to the summer hours. After some
discussion they settled on 5:80 p.m.
121
Motion Kennedy moved to approve the resolution concerning Brent Hall and
\_ ~/ have it signed at the next meeting. Manning seconded and it was
- passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT Manning moved to adjourn and Fraser seconded the motion. The meeting
was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
