the County Commissioners actions and the
economic considerations that caused us to be

ties, Stanely W. Pine. F.R.D.O. recommenda-
tions are as follows:

hensive Development Plan and the previ-
ously approved plan of Buffalo Head Addi-
tion.

Townhouses, the resubdivision of lots
2-9, 11-15, 21-24 and adjacent common
areas, is recommended with the follow-
ing conditions:

private) be named and appropriate
signs posted.

on the final plat(s).

and dimensional requirements of the

quirements of Section 4.02 shall be
met prior to issuance of building
permits.
4. That all lots have paved driveways
providing access to all lots from
existing roads and streets. These
driveways shall be at least 10 feet
in width, built by the developer
prior to final plat approval and
maintained by the Homeowners Associa-
tion. The access driveways to town-
house lots shall be generally in com-
pliance with Exhibit D-3 (City Coun-
cil Resolution #3201).

5. That the extension of water and sewer
Lines, to the townhouse lots from the
existing systems, shall be in accor-
dance to the City Public Works Stand-
ards. Plans and specifications of
such extensions shall be reviewed and
approved by the City Council prior
to approval of the final plat in
accordance with Section 2.3 of the
City of Kalispell Subdivision Regula-
tions.
6. That the title report be reviewed by
the City Attorney for any encum-
brances.
7. That final convenants reflect the

granted for three years in accordance
with Section 76-3-610 as amended
October 1, 1983.
Dean Marquardt/Surveyor/Engineer for
the Buffalo Head Townhouses discussed
each recommendation as follows:
1. Asked that private streets not be
named. No advantage. Creates confus-
ion.
2. In agreement.
3. No problem with off-street parking
requirements. In regard to bulk and
dimensional requirements, are
asking for same design as in 1978.
4. No problem with paving driveways.
The preliminary plat indicates nec-
essary width of driveway. Didn't
think requiring paved driveways at
the time of final plat was appropri-
ate.

5. Felt that condition not appropriate
since that was considered a private
line and would have to be approved
by the City Pulic Works Director at
time the service is hooked on.
6. In agreement.
7. In agreement.
8. Inappropriate. Could not grant ease-
ments to themselves.
9. In agreement.

tions:

That the requirements of Section 3.05, bulk
and dimensional requirements of the Kalispell
City Zoning Ordiance be waived. Further, the
