A request from Dean K. Marquardt, President of
Mark III Corporation, for Preliminary Plat Approval
of "South Gate" subdivision, a 32 lot residential
subdivision on 3.7 acres of land located north—
west of the intersection of South Woodland Drive
and Kelly Road was the next item of business.
This was the continuation of a public hearing.
Morton turned the floor over to Oldenburg who
read three letters from the Department of Health
and Environmental Sciences and also a letter from
Marquardt. Oldenburg stated that his representa—
tion was that of a Commissioner.
LeDuc said that his biggest concern was the water
problem.
Marquardt said that the water would be provided
by Greenacres or it may be ;,connected to the City
of Kalispell, but would be a public system in
any case. Also, that the drainage applies to FHA
requirements and the water in the slough would
be stabilized.
Jukich asked what would happen if they could not
stabilize the water in the slough and the build—
ings were already there.
Marquardt replied that the stabilization would
occur and the reason they did not have the drain—
age at this point was because the County had backed
up the slough.
Jukich stated that she had a real problem with
the water drainage, that it is the natural order
for this to drain into the slough, asked whose
expense this would be done at, what criteria was
going to be set for the stabilization of water
in the slough and felt that this was a problem
that in the future would be borne by the County
taxpayers:
Marquardt replied that he would be willing to
have the solution to the problem upon approval
of the plat. He stated there is no ponding in
the drainage ditch and that the drainage ditch
was installed to make sure the drainage would
be taken care of.
Jukich stated that according to Marquardt's July
13, 1983, letter that he asked that this be ex—
tended to July 31, 1983, and asked if he wanted
to continue this.
Marquardt replied that this would be okay.
Simpson felt that if the water level was raised
in the slough that there would be problems with
Greenacres.
Palmer said he would be in favor of approving
the subdivision if it was hooked up to the City
sewer.
Palmer moved that the subdivision be approved
with the recommendations as follows:

subject to the following conditions:
