to public right-of-way, 'but that easement be restricted for

which is in excess of that required by the statute be established
in the applicant's proposal with evidence of that donation to the
City, and that the water and sewer systems be approved by the City
of Kalispell and County Sanitarian. Motion seconded by Harvey Knebel.
B. J. Lupton as part of that motion that we recognize the value
of this area and that we propose that the integrity of this slough
area both to the north and to the south be maintained as a
natural park area to the best of what is economically -and
environmenta lly feasible. Seconded by Harvey Knebel.
