President Lupton called the meeting of the Board to order at 8:45
President Lupton advised the Board that there were a quantity of
minutes that would need approval. Dale Haarr moved that the Minutes
of 5-29-79,, and 6-5-79; seconded by Ann Smith: motion carried.
President Lupton advised Dale Haarr, Chr. of the City of Kalispell
Zone Commission that his Board had 4 sets of minutes to approve;
5-29-79, 6-5-79, 7-12-79 and 7-31-79, which was acknowledged.
Fran 011endike advised that on the Minutes of 8-14-79 that Walt
Griffin had -not been present and therefore could not have made a
statement. President Lupton asked that she make a note of it and
bring it up at the time these would be presented for approval.
President Lupton then opened the public hearing on the Lone Pine
Subdivision.
Jim-Mohn presented a Staff summary -of the proposal and the Staff
recommendations.
JJi hoo son questioned Jim as to distance from Kalispell City Limit
o t e site and Jim indicated the distance was approximately 1,000
to 1,500 ft.
A representative of Mountain West Design was asked to comment with
regards to the Staff Report and''recommendation and he wished to
make one correction to the comments indicating that the total
development site according to'amended Plan B would contain 32 lots
not .43 as indicated by Jim:and noted that the original plan as
submitted contains 38 lots. He also noted with regards to street
design that the three'cul-de—sacs-in the proposed development
provided for 110' diameter cui—de-sae with an island in the center,
rationale being that snow removal would be somewhat easier and that
during the 'summer months the cul—de—sac would be more aesthetic.
John Kain questioned the serviceability of septic systems due to
anticipated high snow loads that•:have been known to occur in the
area.
Mark•Spratt from 'Flathead Drainage:208,Project apologized for being
a few'moinents late and asked who'would:be responsible for
maintenance and operation of a community septic system once the
system had been completed and in -uses Representative of Mountain
Design indicated that obligations were such that privileges would
'be turned over to a homeowners association.
Dale Carr, resident landowner adjacent to the proposal, asked the
developers what amount of water will be taken from the acquifer (�
in order to serve the proposed subdivisions water system.
Representative of Mountain West Design indicated that they felt
with the proposed design;and reservoir system that the subdivision
would be adequately served with approximately 40 gpm and that he
was optimistic that the existing,well could be developed in excess
of 100 gpm. At this time John Kain commented that the development
should consider annexation and an extension of city services, noting
that the economic factors may be equal or, in favor of the
development, by extending city services rather than developing the
existing well, and establishing the 40,000 gal. reservoir.
Anella Aimsegger, a resident of Foy's Lake Road, and an adjacent
landowner commented with regards to the drainage system that crosses
the proposed development site, noting that she has seen flowing
water in this vicinity beginning with Spring runoff through as late
as August in some wet years. She then read a report prepared by
Marquardt Engineering with regards to the development potentional
of her adjacent property and the report indicated that there, were
severe soil limitations based on the slow permeability of the soils
and also noting groundwater was located at a depth,of 71. The
report went on to say that since the tests were done, late in the
summer,that a possibility of even a higher ground water condition
in the water months of the year was a probability and noted that
this maybe in direct conflict with the State Dept. of Health and
County health requirements for onsite sewage disposal systems.
She noted that there was a need for an alternative type of systel 'icy
for areas in Flathead County other than the septic system in order
to promote proper development of certain areas in the county. She
also noted that with the proposed rehabilitation project proposed
for middle and lower .Foys,Lake, that the possibility of a future
year around flowing stream through this development was a real
possibility and that the project. should anticipate such activity.
Jim Thompson reiterated Mrs. Aemisegge.r's comments with regards
to the Lakeshore Heights and Lakeshore Hills projects and felt that
the project should be redesigned following negotations and
informational meetings with cityd officials and that a new design
showing city standards for streets, water and sewer, storm drainage
and accommodate the future possibility of a year around flowing
;stream through -this subdivision should be made and resubmitted to
the Planning Board, when all this information had been received.
John Kain indicated that storm drainage should be a critical factor
in this area, noting that the proposed subdivision is located almost
at the bottom end of this particular drainage basin. John Kain
personally felt that the project should be tabled until the
developers had an opportunity to meet with street and alley and
water and sewer committees of the council to discuss annexation
possibilities. Jim Thompson then moved that the project be tabled
until the developers and cityofficials could evaluate and determine
the annexation potential of the site at which time a modified de
could be resubmitted -to the Board for their consideration; motion
was seconded by Dale Haarr: motion carried.
Redevelopment Plan President Lupton then closed the public hearing and opened the
Discussion:
meeting for a discussion of the Kalispell Redevelopment plan.
Steve Petrini presented and reviewed, with the Board and Council
members present, the Redevelopment area proposed zoning map and
text. Several questions regarding non —conforming uses and
participation agreements were raised. Steve explained that he had
hoped that Ed Gallager would be present to answer questions such
as these because he was not able to. After a short discussion,
the Board recommended that Steve contact Ed and Larry Gallager and
set up a meetiing with the Gallagers, Norb Donahue and as many
Councilmen and Board members as could attend so that an
understanding regarding non —conforming uses, participation
agreements and zoning ordinances could be achieved.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:15
p.m.
