APPROVAL OF The minutes of the meeting of July 9,.1985, were approved MINUTES as written. PRELIMINARY Manning introduced the application by Kalispell Park PLAT - Associates for preliminary plat approval of Willow Glen WILLOW GLEN Expansion, a major subdivision involving the addition of EXPANSION eleven mobile home spaces to Willow Glen Mobile Home Park. The propos.ed.subdivision is located on two acres of land between the Willow Glen and Twin Acres Mobile Home Parks. ..It is further described as Tracts 5CDMA and 5CDDA in the SE4SE4 of Section 20,.Township 28 North, Range 21 West, Flathead County. PUBLIC Manning opened the public hearing. Paul Wells spoke on HEARING behalf of the applicant, stating the applicant owned both Willow Glen and Twin Acres Mobile Home Parks, and since the proposed subdivision is located between the two parks, other than a use of a commercial nature, the most logical _ use would be for additional mobile home spaces. He stated C1 that the cash -in -lieu: fee as stated in the Staff Report —� and Recommendations seemed high to his clients, as they are projecting less than eight children in the addition. BOARD There were no opponents.. Manning closed the hearing to DISCUSSION public input and turned it over to Board discussion. Greer stated that the proposed lots would be sharing septics, .two spaces to a septic except. one septic would handle three spaces. The Twin Acres water system is proposed to handle the additional spaces. There would be two tanker recharge facilities for fire protection. Staff had some design concerns; mobile homes are sup- posed to be spaced twenty feet apart, -,and removal and placement of a mobile home'on one of the lots could be difficult. 'Insofar as the amount of cash -in -lieu of parks., the figure was based on data.. supplied- by the applicant as .to the cost of the property. LeDuc stated there was a need for mobile home spaces in the area. A brief discussion was conducted about the amount of cash-inm;lieu, with Manning stating that the Staff recommendation should stand, because adults use parks,.as well as children. MOTION Santa moved that the subdivision be approved subject to the conditions as outlined in the'Staff Report and that the recommendations be forwarded to the'County Commissioners; LeDuc seconded; all present voted aye. ZONE CHANGE Manning introduced the application by Kenneth C. REQUEST - Dahlgren to amend the Official Zoning Map of Flathead DAHLGREN County by changing the zoning classification of a five (5) acre track of land in the Eastside Zoning District from AG-2 (Agriculture) to SAG-1 (Suburban. Agriculture). The subject property is Tract.3 in Section 2, Township 28 North,.Range 21 West,,P.M.M., Flathead County. PUBLIC Manning opened the public hearing. Dahlgren stated the HEARING primary reason for requesting the zone change was to give him flexibility in selling the property. There were no opponents. Manning closed the hearing to the public and turned it over to the Board. Greer went through the twelve'criteria.to be considered in a zone change with the Board. He stated the primary difference between AG-2 and SAG-1 is that the SAG-1 would allow a little.more flexibility of use, although agricul- ture could still persist as a primary use. MOTION Reynolds moved that a recommendation for approval be for- warded to the County Commissioners for a zone change from AG-2 to SAG-1 for the Dahlgren property; LeDuc seconded; all present voted aye. REQUEST FOR Manning introduced the application by John L. and LeEtta ANNEXATION H. Carver for annexation into the City of Kalispell of AND ZONING - approximately 0.'884 acres of land with a B-3 (General CARVER Business) zoning designation. The subject property is a small portion of a*5-acre tract (Tract 1A, 7BC) which borders Appleway'Drive near the 4-B's Addition. Greer went through the application and the Staff Report and Recommendations with the Board. Santa inquired about the zoning for the balance of the Carver property and why the applicant wasn't requesting annexation for the entire parcel. Manning explained that there was no zoning presently on the property, although the entire parcel was designated commercial in the Comprehensive Plan.. Greer stated that when the City signed the agreement with the applicant for -City services,.it was only for the small portion. MOTION After further discussion, Reynolds moved that the appli- cation for annexation and zoning designation be forwarded to the Council with, a recommendation for approval subject to the conditions of annexation stated in the Staff Report; LeDuc seconded,.all present voted aye. PROPOSED Greer stated that the Council had requested that the AMENDMENT - Zoning Commission propose an amendment to the Planned KALISPELL Unit'Development provisions of the Kalispell Zoning Regu- ZONING lations to allow mixed use.PUD's in residential zones. REGULATIONS The present ordinance allows mixed use PUD's in commercial zones. Sections 8.03(3)D and 8.03(4)D would have to be addressed. 'The 'Staff presented the text of a proposed -2- amendment to the PUD ordinance. Santa expressed con- cern that unless the ordinance was worded carefully,. (� it would be mis--used. He was particularly concerned about allowing mixed use PUD's that would end up being a means to further strip development by allowing all the commercial uses to.face on the highway or exterior roads rather than be."mixed" within the PUD. Greer said that a PUD should have:a central focus and agreed that access to the uses should be from the interior road system of the PUD. Manning stated that the present Ordinance 1043 has checks and balances. Reynolds, LeDuc and Crick also offered comments about PUD's. Greer stated that typically a mixed use PUD works best in areas of 100 acres or more. Reynolds stated thathe felt it should be larger than five acres (as stated in the pro- posed amendment), which is only about one and a half city .blocks. The',Commission agreed that landscaping, ingress and egress, and overall design were critical to the acceptance of a mixed use PUD. MOTION After extensive discussion, Reynolds moved that a mixed use PUD in a residential'zone be allowed as per the proposed Staff amendment, with a minimum of 20 acres, .and that all uses.of the PUD must gain access from the interior with limited access from the main road. LeDuc seconded. Manning questioned (f) in the Staff Report; Greer stated that a PUD should incorporate -at least 30% open space to accomodate landscaping, etc. Manning called for the question; all present voted aye. The Zoning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council. PROPOSED Greer advised that a letter had been received from the AMENDMENT City Council requesting the Zoning Commission propose an TO THE amendment to allow Bed and Breakfast established in resi- KALISPELL dential zones. He went over.the proposed amendment with. ZONING the Commission. After discussion, Santa moved that the REGULATIONS proposed amendment ­to the Kalispell Zoning Regulations to allow Bed and Breakfast in residential zones be forwarded to Council as presented by the Staff. Crick seconded; all present voted aye. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business.
