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.

REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT EXTENSION
TD&H ENGINEERING JOB NO. 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.
Sincerely,
Douglas Peppmeier, PE
