Jim Mohn read a letter from the Board of County Commissioners, dated 3-30-78 with respects to the LaSalle Industrial Center and their conditions for preliminary approval and also a follow-up letter dated 4-5-78 referencing the criteria of the preliminary approval statement with respects to.the Flood -Plain. Discussion on these two letters centered around a determination of whether a Flood Plain would have to be delinated on the final plat and if the Flood Plain delination were required, stated that elevation of the ground floor structures within the development would have to be 2' above the 100-Year Flood and not limited to l' as previously recommended:. Jim Mohn presented.an evaluation and recommendation with respects to the Staff review. B. J. Lupton questioned the need for setbacks from the roads. Walt Griffin indicated that the setback require- ments should 25', since this is a public road and not the 15' as indicated by the Staff Report. Jim acknowledged this error. Tom Tomkinson spoke in favor the development, as the_developer,and stated that there was a need for this expansion, due to the waiting list for renters that have applied in the existing park. Jack Barrett, Mobile Home Park owner in the Evergreen Area, indicated that he too, could substantiate the basis of need for the project and stated that he has seen cases of severe hardship.for.young families who have recently purchased a mobile home but are unable to find suitable areas to park the. unit. 1.. Jim Blackwell, from Town and County Mobile Homes, also indicated an.extreme need for additional mobile home rental space throughout the county. Comments from the planning board dealt with the question of park satisfaction as required according to Flathead County Subdivision Regulations.and the Mobile Home Park section of the Regulations. Both require a manditory amount of area to be. set aside for park purposes, which apparently had not been satisfied by the submittal.. Jim Mohn stated that the overall land use under the ownership of Tomkinson appeared to be more than adequate to meet the recreational demands of the existing and proposed parks. Walt Griffin indicated that it was his under- standing that regardless of whether the develop- ment was a mobile home park where the manditory park acreage has to be incorporated of whether it was a resubdivision where either cash or park dedication must be made, should be satisfied in this cash. B. J. Lupton indicated that.as part of their conditional approval that the Board should require park satisfaction for the conversion of the three platted lots and the. mobile space, should the County Attorney deem such to be 0 necessary. Following additional discussion on related items, B. J. Lupton moved that the Planning Board recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that Ridgewood Terrace Mobile Home Park Expansion be approved with the following conditions: 1. That the Board of County Commissioners grant a variance from the recommended street setback distances of 25' in light of the fact that the roadway that serves this proposed expansion is a 60' right-of-way county road and the existing mobile homes in the established park are setback at or just behind the county right-of-way, 2. that the location of gas, power and telephone services be examined and possibly be relocated, 3. that the water and sewer systems be approved by the State Dept. of Health and County Sanitarian as dictated by State licensing requirements, and 0 4. that park satisfaction be met, should the County Attorney deem such to be necessary. Seconded by Dorothy Garvin: motion carried. Walt Griffin abstained. 2. Pack Addition to the City of Kalispell, ) Iwith the Property to be Annexed as a B-5 Zone accordance with the newly adopted Kalispell City Zoning Regulations. I � 11� V� r 9 ' 4 I �vJ1 J, �p i Good and Welfare - May 2, 1978 - Kalispell .City.- Cty. Plan Brd., Act. as Zoning Com. Hartt Hill Estates Jim Mohn presented the Staff -evaluation of the proposal.which recommended approval of the project for annexation and mcommended zoning as B-4. Additional discussion centered on actions that the Staff felt necessary in order to preserve and enhance the Spring Creek Drainage which bisects the property. The Staff'srecommendation with regards to this Drainage; were as follows: That a drainage easement 100' wide 50' either side of the center line of the Drainage be shown on the plat and that encroachments for improvements or structures within this easement be restricted only to the point that the effects of storm runoff and roof runoff from the improvements be so engineered that there would be no none -point discharge of improved surface areas going into Spring Creek. As an example, any paved surfaces or roof tops would be so engineered to drain away from Spring Creek or into dry well type factilities incorporated into the site. Following this explanation, Fran 011endike moved that the Pack Addition be recommended for approval to the City .Council as a B-4 zoning district, and with.the 100' easement and easement limitations as recommended by the Fish and Game and as presented by the Staff. The motion was seconded by Dorothy Garin; motion carried. Discussion over the,proposed rezoning plan for the City of Kalispell, Dale Haarr suggested that the next meeting for such review purposes be scheduled for Tuesday, May 2, 1978. Walt Griffin then noted'a lack of adequate information be provided to Board Members with respects to items of discussion as the various planning board meetings. Jim Mohn indicated that an attempt would be made to maintain an adequate informational flow from the Staff to the Board Members with respects to future planning board meetings Discussion then centered on the status of Hartt Hill Estates in light of action that the Planning Board had taken, which had since been nullified due to inadequate notice to adjacent landowners with respects to the public hearing date. Following discussion of related actions dealing with Hartt Hill Estates, Walt Griffin felt that the Staff should evaluate the information 3. Highway Bypass. Greenacres West #3; Proposal.. �)11 �vt 5,✓n `� �� ee/5-4-78 submitted to the various agencies by Attorney John Heberling with respects to his 3 page comments outlining various sections of the State statutes and County regulations that apparently had been violated in the submittal' made by the developers for Hartt Hill Estates. Jim.Mohn acknowledged, that this might be beneficial and would be done as soon as possible. (copy attached;to previous meeting minutes.) Ray Lybeck noted that in a recent meeting with the' Evergreen Chamber of Commerce the question of Highway .Dept. plans for a highway to bypass the community center had been discussed and asked what action or planning the planning board had taken along these lines. It was noted that this type of discussion and planning, is being done in conjunction with the rezoning plan for the Kalispell City Limits and very possibly this topic would be. considered as the neXt meeting .for Kalispell Rezoning purposes: Jim Mohn presented a request from Dean Marquardt on behalf of the developers of Greenacres West Corporation requesting a waiver of -the Environ mental Assessment requirements for a development called-:Greenacres West #3, noting that the preliminary plan being prepared was.in conformance with recommended land use in the Comprehensive Plan and felt there waa...;no need for the Assessment to be prepared. Following discussi6,_.. of information that is provided in the Environmental Assessment, B. J. Lupton moved that the request for, waiver of the Assessment not be granted; seconded by motion carried.
