NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL, MONTANA AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Findings of Fact contained in Kalispell Planning Department Report
#KPP-24-02 are hereby adopted as the Findings of Fact of the City Council.
SECTION 2. That the application of Kalispell National Multifamily, LLC for approval of
the Preliminary Plat of Bloomstone Subdivision, Phase 4, Kalispell, Flathead
County, Montana is hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The development of the site shall be in substantial compliance with the application
submitted, the site plan, materials and other specifications as well as any additional
conditions associated with the preliminary plat as approved by the city council.
2. All applicable conditions within Bloomstone PUD (Ordinance 1635) and the preliminary plat
approval for Bloomstone Phases 3-6 (Resolution 6012) shall apply.
3. The Planned Unit Development for Bloomstone is amended to allow the following
deviations from the Zoning Regulations:
(a). Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, Section 27.07.040 (1) (Minimum lot area): Allows the
minimum lot area to be reduced from 6,000 square feet to 4,290 square feet for single-family
lots. Minimum size for sublots are allowed at 1760 square feet.
(b). Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, Section 27.07.040 (2) (Minimum lot width): Allows the
minimum lot width to be reduced from 50 feet to 40 feet for single-family lots, with a
minimum sublot width of 20 feet.
(c). Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, Section 27.07.040 (3) (Front setback encroachment):
Allows the front setback to be reduced to 10 feet. Such reduction shall only apply to the
single-family residential houses and townhomes, and the 20 foot front setback for garages
shall continue to apply.
(d). Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, Section 27.07.040 (5) (Permitted lot coverage): Allows
an increase to 54% lot coverage on the 6,000 square foot lots and no maximum lot coverage
for townhouse/sublots.
4. The Planned Unit Development for Bloomstone is amended to allow the following
deviations from the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations:
(a) Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, Section 28.3.14 (Streets and Roads — Design
Standards) and Section 28.3.11(c) (Alleys not to be used as primary access): This deviation
allows for certain lots to be accessed with a 30-foot alley (20-foot paved surface) with a
sidewalk on one side. The alley right-of-way shall be privately owned and maintained, and
no parking is allowed within the alley right-of-way.
(b) Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, Section 28.3.15(B) (Required Alleys): This
deviation allows alleys when townhouse lots create a street frontage density of 40 feet or less
on average for a block. Shared driveways shall be utilized throughout the subdivision
wherever practicable. All of the roads except the road from the northwest corner, extending
along the northern boundary and connecting with Rosecrown Road at the eastern boundary
shall be privately owned and maintained.
(c) Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, Section 28.3.11(I) (Through Lots) —This deviation
would allow through lots (i.e. lots with street frontage at both the front and rear) along a
specific stretch of Phase 4 fronting Treeline. The standard 20-foot setback from the right-of-
way shall apply.
(d) Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, Section 28.3.14(F)(1) (House Orientation) — This
deviation would allow lots along Four Mile Drive to be oriented towards Four Mile.

approval. (Section 28.2.06(E)(7), Subdivision Regulations)
6. Upon approval of the preliminary PUD by the City Council, the property owner shall
proceed with the preparation of the final PUD plan as provided in Section 27.19.020(7) of
the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
7. As a PUD with an associated preliminary plat application, the abandonment or expiration of
the PUD is governed by Section 27.19.020(10) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
8. Along Four Mile Drive and the bypass, there shall be a consistency of design that allows for
the privacy of the residents and sound mitigation along the bypass as well as consistent
aesthetics. Any fencing or landscape treatments along those frontages shall be installed by
the developer. The plan shall be submitted to the Development Services and Parks
Departments for review and approval and shall include a consistent, aesthetically pleasing
design.
9. The recommendations in the Geotechnical report shall be followed as the site is developed.
(Section 28.3.10, Subdivision Regulations)
10. If the sound study shows a 60dBA or lower level at any lot line being final platted, sound

11. The storm water ponds shall be designed in a way that they become a visual interest to the
development. Chain link fencing surrounding retention ponds as the dominant fixture shall
not be allowed without mitigation. The developer shall work closely with the Parks
Department and Public Works to develop a design that is both visually appealing and meets
the required safety guidelines. It is intended that when the project is developed the ponds will
act as features, particularly along the roadways, rather than a private maintenance utility
facility. Any existing ponds being utilized for new phases of development should
incorporate reasonable design features to meet this standard to the extent practicable.
12. The developer shall submit to the Kalispell Public Works Department for review and
approval a storm water report and an engineered drainage plan that meets the requirements of

the final plat. (Section 28.3.21, Subdivision Regulations)
22. The developer shall submit the street design to the Kalispell Public Works Department for
review and approval prior to construction. Street designs shall meet the city standards for
design and construction. In addition, Sections 28.3.13 and 28.4.14 of the Subdivision
Regulations includes access, street and road design standards that shall be part of the
engineering design review. (Section 28.3.13,14, & 16 Subdivision Regulations)

in Phase 4 except the road from the northwest corner extending along the northern boundary
and connecting with Rosecrown Road at the eastern boundary shall be privately owned and
maintained. In addition, no parking is allowed within the alley right-of-way. The final plat
