H2. Resolution 6304, Autumn Creek Plat ExtensionCITY K A L I S"i'lP E L L Development Services Department 201 lst Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/plannine REPORT TO: Jarod Nygren, Interim City Manager FROM: PJ Sorensen, Assistant Development Services Director SUBJECT: Autumn Creek— Preliminary Plat extension MEETING DATE: December 15, 2025 BACKGROUND: This is a request by JCM Development, LLC, to extend the preliminary plat for Autumn Creek Subdivision for two years. The preliminary plat for Autumn Creek was approved January 4, 2021 (Resolution 6010), with a total of 28 residential lots/sublots on approximately 8.41 acres of land, including 1.14 acres of parkland and 1.89 acres of open space. The property is located on Hathaway Lane north of Highway 2 West, and can be described as Assessor's Lots 6AAK, 6DI and 6AB in the SW 1/4 of Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Condition 2 of the preliminary plat states that "the preliminary plat shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of approval," which is in accordance with 28.2.06(E)(7) of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. Accordingly, the original expiration date for the plat was January 4, 2024. The subdivision regulations provide for up to two two-year extension requests. The applicant was granted a first extension on November 6, 2023, extending the expiration date to January 4, 2026. They are now submitting their second extension request. The subdivision has been constructed and applicant anticipates submitting a final plat application in the near future. However, they need some extra time to prepare the final plat submittal and be compliant with regulatory timelines. If the extension is not granted, the applicant will be required to go back through the major preliminary plat process prior to final plat approval. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 6304, a resolution extending the Autumn Creek preliminary plat for an additional two years. FISCAL EFFECTS: Positive impacts if approved. ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

K20-042 Dear PJ, On behalf of our client (JCM Development, LLC), we would like to formally request an extension from City Council for completion of the required Autumn Creek Subdivision improvements. Unfortunately, the required repairs to the previously installed utilities were worse than anticipated and are taking longer to complete. As a result, the required improvements have not been fully completed yet. We are anticipating submitting for final plat later this fall, however per the subdivision regulations, a complete application for final plat approval shall be submitted to the Planning Department at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the final plat (which is November 61", 2025). For this reason, we are requesting that Council extend the preliminary plat approval for an additional two-year period which will allow for completion of the required subdivision improvements. If you have any questions or if you need any additional information regarding this request, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you for your consideration or our request.
