WILLOW GLEN Manning introduced the application by Stephanie Robinson of Kalispell
EXPANSION MHP Park Associates for preliminary plat approval of Willow Glen
Expansion, a thirteen (13) space addition to the existing Willow Glen
Mobile Home Park. Generally, said Park is located on the south side
of Twin Acres Drive between Willow Glen Drive and U.S. Highway 93
South. More particularly, the area of the proposed mobile home park
is located in the SE 1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 20, Township 28 North,
Range 21 West, P.M.M., and is further described as being Tract 2 of
Certificate of Survey (COS) 6152 and Tract 2 of COS 6964.
Greer presented the staff report. The proposed mobile home park
subdivision isan expansion to the existing Willow Glen Mobile Home
J Park and represents a modification to a previous conditional approval
for 11 spaces. Itwas necessary to reapply for approval since an
additional two spaces are being proposed. The proposed road system
would eliminate two rental spaces in the existing Willow Glen Park.
The applicants are proposing to extend the existing community water
system of Twin Acres to the proposed 13 spaces. Shared drainfields
were originally proposed but the State Department of Health and
Environmental Sciences indicates that a community system will be
required. Greer highlighted the findings pertaining to each of the
eight public interest criteria. Fire protection will be provided by
the installation of two tanker recharge facilities and a Rural Fire
Station is located nearby. Grade school students will attend Hedges
or Linderman but busing is not available. An on -site playground
facility would be desirable since many children may be associated
with the subdivision. The cash -in -lieu value would be $1,785. The
plat indicates that a 22 foot wide road will be built. The County
Commissioners have previously indicated that a 24 foot wide road with
a 22 foot paved width will be required. Relative to the requirement
for a community sewage system, the engineer has indicated that a
community system can be accommodated. Adjoining property owners have
not expressed any comments on the proposed subdivision. Greer
concluded the presentation by stating that the F.R.D.O. is
recommending approval with 18 conditions. He read and commented on
each of the conditions. Conditions number 16, 17, and 18 were added
1
by the Commissioners in their previous approval of the 11— space
addition.

conditions of the approval and that the sewer system will be
pressurized.

OLD BUSINESS Greer gave a status report on. the vacant Member -At -Large position
saying that he had tried to contact the three people suggested at the
last meeting. Of those three, LeRoy McDowell said he might be
interested, Dan Conrad said he is not a freeholder, and he could not
reach Mr. Struck. He also added that the Flatheaad Conservation
District has been contacted to provide them an opportunity to appoint
a member for the position as required by State Law. The District
declined to fill that position at this time. The member -at -large
position is an annual appointment with expiration at the end of
December.
Manning stated that John Gunnerson has expressed an interest to serve
on this Board. He is employed by Northwestern Telephone. Sloan
suggested that Mr. Gunnerson be called.
Motion Trippett moved to nominate John Gunnerson to fill the ninth position
on the Board. Sloan seconded and the motion passed unanimously of
those present.
Reynolds asked if there would be a Planning workshop in November?
Greer stated that Nick Verma wanted to take the suggestion to the
other planning boards for their input. Greer also stated that he has
talked to the Department of Commerce and they will assist us as soon
as they receive a written request. Sloan suggested that it should be
in mid -November and all the Board members agreed. Greer was directed
to contact the other Boards for their input.
Greer stated that the Board should begin having work sessions on the
fringe area zoning. The staff has worked out a preliminary zoning map
but the Board should get together and have a workshop on this before
we get too far. Public hearings will have to be held in order to
answer everyone's questions and hopefully dissolve their fears. He
asked which area the Board would like to concentrate on first?
Trippett suggested that the hardest area to do will be Evergreen and
maybe that should be done first. After further discussion, it was
decided to work on the south east area first. Manning stated that at
the next meeting the Board will follow the meeting with a workshop.
NEW BUSINESS Greer said that there will be a Main Street Workshop in Kalispell at
the end of the month. He distributed copies of the agenda for the
workshop which is being sponsored in part by the Department of
Commerce. He added that the registration fee is $30.00. Sloan
suggested that the staff planners should attend the workshop as the
it will cover areas of interest to the City of Kalispell as well as
Flathead County. Reynolds agreed.
Motion Sloan moved to send the staff planners, David Greer and Tom Jentz to
the meeting with the FRDO funding the registration fees. Seconded by
Trippett. Following more discussion the motion and second were
withdrawn.
Motion Sloan then moved to send the staff planners, David Greer and Tom
Jentz, to the Main Street Workshop with the funding of registration
fees by the FRDO budget and in the event that there is not enough
4
money in the budget then the registration fees will be paid out of
monies held in reserve for the Kalispell City -County Planning Board
by Flathead County. Trippett seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
