joint tendency by the members in the 16 unit
project. There have been some minor details worked out
by the City Attorney. The project does meet the density
by the RA-1 Zone. There is a conditional use permit and
variance request pending with the Kalispell Board of Adjustment
at this time. They will meet November 7, 1979. As far as the
staff is concerned there doesn't seem to be any problem with
that.
John Kain asked does; the conditional use permit and the
variance wait on what they might do or do they wait on
what we might do?
Jim answered "We are waiting on what they have."
The question was asked why do they want to change them,
in answer to this question was that they are not financeable
under FHA financing for construction and for sales. As
condominiums they are not FHA financeable when there is
11 or more condominiums in a project they will not mortgage
them. Townhouses they treat the same as single family
residents.
Ann Smith asked how dose the Board of Adjustment come into it?
Jim answered that this goes to them under their 'new powers.
jim was aked what are they adjusting.
Jim answer they are adjusting the minium area for clustered
housing projects from two acres to an acre and a quarter,
and they are also granting a new conditional use permit,
which is required under the Ordinance.
There is no change in the project at all, not in the size,

use, or density, nothing in the matter changes except the
legal description which would be Townhouses and not
condominiums. There are two buildings complete now and
the third building is about 70% complete, and a forth has the
foundation only.
John Kain made the motion that the resubdivision of the
Pines Lots 9 - 12, of Porta Villa No. 2, Addition # 65 to the
City of Kalispell that the conversion from the Condominium
units to Townhouse units, baced on no objections or unfavorable
action from the Board of Adjustments.
The motion was seconded by Ann Smith. Motion was carried.
The Minutes of July 24, 1979 and October 9, 1979 was motioned
for approval, seconded and carried.
Jim says what is being proposed is three residentual appart-
ment structure, and one wondering recreational structure on a
2.8 -acre peace of land west of Valley View appartments
it's the same developer as Valley View and the concept
is the same however the architecture is not the same. As
far as the plan and zoning are concerned, this Board recomend-
ed a plan amendment to acomadate the project and annexation
will be, made for RA-1 Zoning and again the developer have
applied for a multiple •structur-es on a single Tract of land.
The only problem the staff can see is with the traffic, one on
the short term is there will be an increase on Liberty Street
which everybody in this Adams Addition has been opposed in
the past and the second is somewhere in the. future we need to
establish a north south street to get some of the traffic off of
Liberty street back down to Two Mile Drive. . Looking at the
proposed site plan we don't see any real suitable way to begin
to ask for the nesecarry right of way in this addition. The
only thing that we can hope for is that the balance of the
Tract that this parcel is being taken from will come in as a
single development so that we can get an appropriate design to
get the nescessary right of way projected to the south.
John Kain asked Jim this was in the quarter corner of the
area.
Jim it was closer to the quarter corner section, but looking
at the properties held in the immediate south .are in single
ownership and there are about 60 ownerships there. What
we are hoping for is that between that parcel of land and
the property immediatly west of this El Dorita site that
we can begin to get a collecter of that property.
John Kain stated that it looks like a right of way already.
is there.
Jim explained that that was no longer there, it is strictly
a drainage use now. But there is a half street there.

Ann Smith asked if there was a culdesac at the end of it.
Jim said that he had a temporary culdesac. John Kain said
that you cann't put curbs and gutters on a temporary culdesac
and that he would want curbs and gutters in it, and that
would be expensive. John Kain. says that .he is in favor
of only putting up a baracade.
Ann Smith asked if there is enough room for a firetruck
to get in and out.
Jim said he talked to the Fire Department. and they didn't
see any problems, just recomended location hydrants.
Ann Smith said that she was infavor of putting in the 38
foot street with curbs and gutters, and a temporary culdesac
would not necessarily have to have curbs and gutters in
it would be only temporary.
John asked If the west end of this is on a drainage"
Jim says it all drains south, the northend .drains southwest.
The property will be contoured a little bit. from what there
is now so that between the two, buildings at the north end so
that there will be a crown in there so that it will drain east
west away from the crown.. It will drain into a drainage
easement and strom drainage along the south boundary and
drain south to the south boundary then east to the drainage
easement that goes through to the back Hawthorn East then
south to Two Mile.
Fran 011endike moved that we recomend approval of El Dorita
Village Addition No. 109 to the City of Kalispell with the
recomendation that they take into consitteration the Fire Cheifs
recomendation for the hydrants.
The Motion was seconded, and carried.
Motion was made to adjourn the meeting, motion seconded and
carried.
