KAL-MONT DAIRY Mohn presented the F.R.D.O. report saying the
Zone Change petit -ion is from George E. Schulze, President,
Kai -Mont Dairy Farm, for a zone change from R-2
(Residential) to RA-1 (Residential Apartment) for
property described as a portion of Assessors
Tract 5 in NW4, SW4, Section 32, T29N, R21W,
P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Located east
of Whitefish Stage Road immediately south of
Mission Village Number 4.
Public Hearing
Motion
The area involves approximately 3.5 acres of land
lying between the County road and the crest of
the bluff.
Mohn suggested because of the size of the small
size of the crowd, the best way to approach this
request for zone change was to ask if anyone had
any questions about the report or recommendation
the staff has made.
LeDuc requested Mohn to go through the recommend-
ation.
Mohn said the F.R.D.O. staff evaluated the pro-
posal based on the State Zoning change criteria
as taken out of the State Statutes. As far as
the staff's evaluation is concerned, it meets a
sufficient number of criteria for warrant and
justification of the zoning change.
Mohn said it was not a spot zoning because, in
essence, what they are doing is expanding
existing RA-1 zoning from across Whitefish Stage
toward the bluff. Each of the adjacent zoning
classifications are compatible with the requested
RA-1 zoning. Given the potential for extension
of both municipal water and sewer systems for the
site, the criteria for having the RA-1 zone is
met.
Sloan questioned the potential problems with
the sewer.
Mohn said it was his understanding they were
creating 3 lots on 3 acres, with the intent of
developing a tri-plex on each lot. The only mun-
icipal services that they intend to use would be
Evergreen water, which is available in Mission
Trail Road and can be extended down from Mission
Trail in the Whitefish Stage right-of-way. They
have no immediate intent of extending City sewer.
Jim Scharen said the owner was putting 1 tri-
plex on 2 lots (on the most northernly lot) and
another tri-plex on the 1 other lot.
The Board further discussed the density of the
3.5 acres as an RA-1 property, and the length of
the existing sewer lines.
Ormiston moved to approve the planning staffs
recommendation. LeDuc seconded the motion.
Motion was carried.
