APPLEWAY OFFICE COMPLEX FLATHEAD REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICE SUBDIVISION REPORT #KPP-00-2 MARCH 6, 2000 A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council for an eight lot commercial town unit subdivision in B-2, General Commercial zoning district. A public hearing has been scheduled before the planning board for March 14, 2000 beginning at 7:00 PM, in the Kalispell City Council Chambers in Kalispell. A portion of the property is zoned,B-2, General Business, with the remaining portion of the property proposed for annexation and initial zoning of B-2 which has been filed concurrently with this request for preliminary plat approval. A. Petitioner and Owners: Appleway Development Co. 178 E. Blanchard Lake Road Whitefish, MT 59937 (406) 863-9925 Stanley W. Pine 208 Lakeshore Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 Marie M. Sterner 10 Appleway Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 Technical Assistance: Larsen Engineering and Surveying P.O. Box 2071 Kalispell, MT 59903-2071 Joseph Magaddino P.O. Box 1151 Bigfork, MT 59911 B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for this development is located on the north side of Appleway Drive and east of its intersection with Highway 2 approximately one quarter of a mile. The properties proposed for annexation can be described as Assessor's Tracts lAA, 1A, IBA, 1B and lE located in Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Size: Total area: 11.96 acres Area in Lots: 1.99 acres Common Area: 5.23 acres D. Nature of the Request: The proposed subdivision design is proposed with each building being located on individual lots with the parking areas, landscape areas, sidewalks and other parts of the property as being common area. It is the developers intent to create an office complex to house several non-profit agencies to create a common campus type facility. Generally, various tenants would lease the space. It is anticipated that the total square footage of the buildings would 142,000 square feet. This would be almost exclusively office space. E. Existing Land Use: There are three single family homes currently located on these properties that would ultimately be removed to make way for the proposed office / commercial development. F. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The character of the immediate area is an area in transition from a more traditional residential area on the fringes of urban Kalispell to part of the commercial area of the west side. This area has typically accommodated a mix of uses from the Stillwater Forest Products to the south along with residential and commercial to the north. Over the years, the area has become more commercial in nature as the city continues to grow. North: Motel and restaurants; City B-2 zoning South: Residences and junkyard, County R-1 zoning East: Convenience store and strip mall, City B-2 zoning West: Hotel and restaurant; City B-2 zoning H. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of the area is a combination of residential in transition, general commercial and a little light industrial. The properties to the north have been more intensively developed because of the availability of water and sewer to the area and its proximity along Highway 2. The annexation of this property will be the final lots of an island that has been surrounded by the city limits on the north side of Appleway Drive. These properties can be described as being in an area of transition. H. Relation to Master Plan Map: This property lies within the Kalispell City -County Planning jurisdiction. The master plan map designates this area as Commercial. The zoning and proposed subdivision are in compliance with the master plan designation. I. Utilities: This subdivision will have full City services and facilities provided by the City of Kalispell. Water: City of Kalispell Sewer: City of Kalispell Electricity: Flathead Electric Coop (underground) Telephone: CenturyTel (underground) Solid Waste: City of Kalispell Fire: City of Kalispell 100 Schools: School District #5, Kalispell Police. City of Kalispell This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with State statutory review criteria and the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. A. Effects on Health and Safety: Fire: Fire access to the subdivision will be by way of a paved City street Appleway Drive and accessed internally by way of an internal parking lot and roadway. Fire hydrants will be installed in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code within the Subdivision. A 24 foot pedestrian and fire access lane is being proposed running east and west through the center of the site. Fire risk in this area can be considered generally low because of its urban location and good access. Flooding and topography: This area is at risk of flooding on a portion of the site. Bowser Spring Creek borders this site to the north and the area to the east has been known for its seasonal flooding. It is the intent of the property owners to limit the fill on the site to that of area outside of the 100 year floodplain with the exception of a couple of small areas where the buildings would encroach into the 100 year floodplain. The topography of the site is generally level and has limited vegetation with the exception of some trees or shrubs near the existing residences. No significant risks to health and safety are present which might be associated with the topography of the site. Roads: Primary access to the site will be from an existing City street, Appleway Drive, which was recently annexed from the County to the City. This roadway is in substandard condition and does not have curbing or sidewalks. The developers intend to install these improvements on the north side of Appleway along that portion of the roadway which adjoins this property as part of the their overall development plans. The staff would recommend that a wavier to protest and SID for the eventual upgrade of Appleway Drive be filed with the final plat. B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: The site is not mapped within any big game winter range and does not provide significant habitat to wildlife although there are some marshlands along the boundaries of Bowsers Spring Creek. There are waterfowl that visit this area and other small wildlife. However, this property is within an area of Kalispell that can be considered to be on the urban fringes. No significant impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitat can be anticipated as a result of this subdivision. 3 C. Effects on the Natural Environment: There is surface water in the area, Bowsers Spring Creek, which might be effected by this development. The creek is approximately four feet wide and two feet deep and is prone to flooding particularly in the spring months. During the development of the site, a silt fence is being proposed to be located along the creek to avoid any potential silting. No activity will take place within 20 feet of the creek without prior approval. There is no obvious high groundwater in the area which may be effected or which might be impacted by this development. The terrain can be described as generally level. Drainage will be handled through an engineered plan using a combination of on -site retention methods that would include natural swales, site construction swales, infiltrator underground percolation and small retention ponds. It may be noteworthy that the Morrison- Maierle Study conducted in June of 1998 for the City of Kalispell, "Lower Spring Creek Alternative Investigation Report," recommends that an overflow pipe be constructed which would run through this site between Bowsers Spring Creek and an existing retention basin on the south side of Appleway Drive. The storm water overflow pipe proposal for the mitigation of flooding in the area is also part of a compliance plan required by FEMA for bringing the floodplain issues in the area into compliance with the national floodplain program. Currently, the City does not have funds earmarked for this project. D. Effects on Local Services: Sewer and Water: The City of Kalispell provides sewer and service to the area and there is sufficient capacity within the Kalispell system to provide service to this development. New water and sewer facilities will probably be needed to be extended into the site to provide for adequate services. All of the facilities will need to be designed in accordance with Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards and reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. Roads: Direct access to this development will be from Appleway Drive, a former County road that was recently taken over by the City. The roadway is in substandard condition with regard to the roadbed and it lacks curb, gutter and sidewalks. Additional traffic will be generated from this development once it is fully developed which could be substantial. It is estimated that at full build out this development would have approximately 450 employees and an unknown number of clients. It is estimated that this development will generate traffic of 2,300 vehicle trips per day. There is no current plan in process for the upgrade of this roadway and any additional traffic could result in negative impacts to the roadways in the area. Staff would recommend that the developers file a waiver to protest a special improvements district (SID) for the upgrade of Appleway Drive with the final plat. M Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School District #5. Children from this subdivision would attend Edgerton School and Flathead High School. This subdivision will not impact the school district because it is commercial in nature. Parks: This subdivision is not subject to parkland dedication because it is commercial in nature. A sidewalk is indicated on the plat along Appleway Drive along with interior sidewalks within the development itself. Landscaping within the subdivision should be accomplished according to a plan submitted to the parks and recreation department that incorporates street, trees, shrubs and lawn. Police Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Police Department. According to the Kalispell Police Department, they will be able to adequately serve this area. Fire Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Fire Department. The location and placement of fire hydrants will be in accordance with to the specifications of the Uniform Fire Code. A fire access lane has been provided near the center of the site that runs in an east / west direction. Refuse Disposal: The subdivision can be served by the City of Kalispell for solid waste disposal or through a private hauler. Adequate space at the County landfill is available for the solid waste, which will be generated by the subdivision. Medical Services: Flathead Regional Hospital is approximately one mile from the site. Ambulance services are available to serve this subdivision and access is good. E. Effects on Agriculture and Agricultural Water Users Facilities: The soils in this area have limited agricultural value because of its urban proximity. This property has been pastureland. This subdivision will have an insignificant impact on agriculture in the Valley and is more valuable for this type of development because of its close proximity to Kalispell and associated services and the lack of obvious development constraints. F. Compliance with Master Plan The Kalispell City -County Master Plan Map designates this area as Commercial. This development complies with the master plan land use designation for this area. G. Compliance with Zoning Regulations The zoning for this property will be B-2, General Commercial, upon annexation of the east approximately nine acres. The western portion of the site was previously annexed and is zoned B-2. The building footprints are sited in a manner that 5 complies with the setbacks for the district. The proposed subdivision complies with the zoning for this property. H. Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations The preliminary plat can be found to be in substantial compliance with the state and local subdivision regulations. IZADWOmso• The Flathead Regional Development Office would recommend that the Kalispell City County Planning Board adopt staff report KPP-00-2 as findings of fact and recommend that the Kalispell City Council approve the Appleway Office Complex subject to the following conditions: 1. That subdivision shall be in compliance with the preliminary plat, which shall govern the location of the buildings, the parking lot and access, which was reviewed and approved by the planning board and city council. 2.

That a waiver to protest a special improvement district for the upgrade of Appleway Drive be submitted with the final plat. 5. That cross easement agreements be granted through the covenants or accomplished by a note of the face of the final plat granting access to all lots within the subdivision by way of the internal road and utility easements indicated on the plat. 6. That covenants or a common maintenance agreement be filed with the final plat which provides for a mechanism for the maintenance of all common elements of the development including but not limited to parking and roadway maintenance as well as the landscaped areas. 2 7. That an engineered storm water management utilizing on -site retention methods and in accordance with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department prior to final plat approval. 8. That a floodplain development permit be obtained from the Kalispell Floodplain Administrator prior to any fill work or activity within the 100 year floodplain including the proposed bridge across Bowsers Spring Creek. 9. That a letter be obtained from the Kalispell Fire Department approving the fire access and suppression system for compliance with the Uniform Fire Code. 10.

KPP/00/KPP00-2 im TO: Flathead Regional Development Office FROM: Appleway Development Group SUBJ: Request for Preliminary Plat ATE: February 10, 2000 F. R. D. O. Appleway Development Group is currently working on plans for the development of an office complex to house several non-profit public agencies to be located on an 11.96 acre site on Appleway Drive in Kalispell. The property is currently under several zoning designations, and only partially within the city limits. This is an application for preliminary plat approval. Present plans include the development of an office complex of 9 buildings on 8 lots consisting of offices to be occupied by several public agencies, all within a common campus. Individual agencies are presently scattered throughout the community making it difficult and sometimes impossible for clients to take advantage of the services available to them. While some agencies are too far away, others are in sub -standard buildings or occupy valuable downtown retail space. Nearly all are in need of expansion. Re- locating numerous agencies to a common campus -type facility would not only solve agency overcrowding and free up downtown retail space, it would also provide for increased coordination of services making it more convenient for clients to benefit from needed services. Concurrently we are requesting annexation into the city of Kalispell and a change of zoning from County R-1 to City B-2. In addition, we are requesting that this site be included in the urban renewal district, thus making TIF monies available to help reduce development costs, thus making new office space affordable to non-profit tenants.

INITIAL ZONING AND APPLEWAY A request by the Appleway Development Group for preliminary DEVELOPMENT plat approval of Appleway Office Complex, an eight -lot PRELIMINARY PLAT commercial subdivision on approximately 11.96 acres in the west part of Kalispell on property zoned B-2. Rice stepped down from the board for this application due to a conflict of interest. ST F REPORT Wilson combined the presentation for the proposal for initial zoning and preliminary plat. Wilson gave a presentation on staff reports KA-00-01 and KPP-00-02. Staff recommends that the initial zoning for these properties should be B-2, General Business, if annexed, and the preliminary plat should be approved subject to 13 conditions. This is a plan to create a "campus" for combined community service agencies. She stated that the proposal is to have the property zoned B-2, which is consistent with the area, and use a townhouse units design to build the complex. The site would have cross easements for access and maintenance agreements for common areas. This area is prone to flooding but they have kept the development generally outside the 100-year floodplain and they would be required to have a floodplain permit. Stevens stated that the staff has previously stated that you can't subdivide within the floodplain for building purposes and are now saying it is okay in this report. He asked about a silt fence and Wilson stated that this would be 20 feet back from the creek. He asked and Wilson answered that the floodplain compliance plan with FEMA would not be addressed now, as there is no money in the budget. Wilson stated that the request generally complies with the regulations but the floodplain is an issue. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak on the application. PROPONENTS Sherry Stevens -Wulf spoke in favor of the project stating that this site best suits their plans for a community services complex. The Facilities Committee she is part of believes that this is the perfect site for this one -stop complex for human resource services. This would be the first in the state for this concept of a health and human services complex. Craig Denman spoke in favor of the project stating that they believe that this is the best site for this project and that it will Kalispell City -County Planning Board March 14, 2000 Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 13 work best for them and the community. He stated that those areas within the floodplain could be engineered to work. They would like to work with the board and the City to move this project forward. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Stevens stated that there would be about 450 employees and the parking does not provide enough spaces for them let alone any clients. Rice stated that they are working with property owners across the street to purchase further property in order to address additional parking. With regard to the floodplain, the buildings that encroach into the floodplain could be addressed by applying for a change on the floodplain map and the parking area would be built up through a floodplain permit. Stevens stated that there had previously been extreme discussions on whether property within the floodplain could be subdivided for building purposes and staff had previously been opposed. Rice responded by stating that the difference with this proposal was that only a small portion of the building would be in the floodplain and that they are not creating "lots" that would be located in the 100 year floodplain as was the previous issue. Garberg asked and Stevens -Wulf answered that this concept is being talked about everywhere and she knows that there are none within the western United States. Garberg stated that he liked the concept. Ek asked about the intersection and Stevens -Wulf answered that there would be additional access entrances and they are in the planning process for upgrading the access roads. Denman stated that this would be a phased project as well so the infrastructure will be able to be built up during the process. Johnson asked and Denman answered that the owners within the development will be responsible for the maintenance of the parking lot and all of the common areas and that there was no dedication of public streets involved with this subdivision. P. J. Sorenson, Kalispell Zoning Administrator, stated that a conditional agreement has been made with the Hampton Inn, which FEMA has approved, and this will not affect this project. Johnson stated that the down side would be if the culvert Kalispell City -County Planning Board March 14, 2000 Meeting Minutes Page 11 of 13 would be plugged and cause problems. Sorenson and Wilson stated that the Public Works Department is working on plans for mitigating the possible problems from these areas, which includes cleaning the culvert and possibly replacing it with a larger diameter pipe. Rice stated that water would flow over Meridian before it would flow over Appleway. His talks with the department have led him to believe that there is no money in the budget at this time but they are working towards setting plans to improve the area. MOTIONS Sipe moved and Mann seconded to adopt staff report KA-00-01 as findings of fact and, based on these findings recommend to the Kalispell City Council that' the initial zoning for these properties should be B-2, General Business, upon annexation. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to recommend initial zoning of B-2 upon annexation passed unanimously. Garberg moved and Heinecke seconded to adopt staff report KPP-00-02 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend that the Kalispell City Council approve the preliminary plat for the Appleway Office Complex subject to the conditions as listed in the report. Stevens stated that he might not support the project as it falls within the floodplain. Heinecke asked about the highway and Wilson stated that this is not within the parameters of this plat. Sorenson stated that based on the zoning and floodplain regulations development can occur for a parking lot and for buildings if filled to bring the grade up and they can get building and floodplain permits. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to recommend preliminary plat approval passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business presented. NEW BUSINESS A parliamentary procedures workshop is being planned for a Saturday in April. The board agreed that the 29th would be the best date for the board as a whole. She stated that the Board would be notified as soon as a firm date has been set. Heinecke asked that the staff look for other funding to improve the streets and sidewalks. Wilson stated they could set up a district and everyone within the district would be assessed or take money out of the general fund. The FRDO does not traditionally get involved in funding for streets and sidewalks. Kalispell City -County Planning Board March 14, 2000 Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 13
