SUBDIVISION REPORT #KPP-86-3
CHM FINANCIAL ...
A report to the Kalispell City Council on a request by CHM Building
Partnership for preliminary plat approval of a five (5) lot commercial
subdivision.
1. Subdivider: CHM Building Partnership
100 Financial Drive
Kalispell, MT 59901
755-6285
2. 'Technical Assistance: Marquardt Surveying
1031 South Main
Kalispell, MT 59901
755-6285
3. Acceptanceof Application: December 4, 1986
4. Location: Generally, the proposed subdivision
is located on 11.3 acres of land
adjacent to and including the Crop
Hail Management building. The street
address of said building is 100
Financial Drive, Kalispell but more
particularlyr the subdivision is
described as Ming a resubdivision
of Lot 1, Amended Plat of a portion
of Gateway West Addition No. 34, SE
1/4, Section 12, Township 28 North,
Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead
County.
B. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
1. Existing Land Use:
The subject property is mostly vacant except for the area of
proposed Lot #1 where approximately 2.8 acres have been
developed for an office building (Crop Hail Management).
1
2. Proposed band Use:
The subdivider is proposing to create five (5) commercial
lots from an 11.3 acre lot. Lot sizes range from
approximately 1 acre to 3.22 acres. Proposed Lot #1
encompasses the existing Crop Hail office building. No
particular uses are proposed at this time for the other
lots.
3. Adjoining Land Uses:
Retail commercial and multi -family housing are the
predominant land uses in the vicinity. The Gateway West Mall
and Gateway Cinema adjoin the easterly boundary of the
subdivision whereas several apartment complexes are located
northerly of the subdivision. Spring Creek follows a portion
of the southerly boundary.
4. Relation to Comprehensive Plan:
The land use map of the Kalispell Master Plan designates the
general area of the subdivision as "General Commercial". The
proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with said
designation.
5. Zoning:
The area of the proposed subdivision is zoned B-4 (Community
Business). Said district is "a business district to provide
areas for the development of community shopping areaso to
serve the range of a number of neighborhoods to a major
segment of the Planning Area. This district shall be a
business island of not less than five acres and not a strip
development."
6. Covenants:
Primary access to each of the lots will be provided via
private roads. No covenants are proposedr per se, that
establish the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of
the private roads. Insteadr the subdivider intends to
provide "reciprocal easement agreements" pertinent to all
shared facilities.
7. Utilities:
a. Sewer and Water: The subdivider is proposing to
connect each lot to city sewer and water lines.
b. Other Utilities: Telephoner electricity, and natural
gas are available in the vicinity.
iq
NANIDIMU"If •
CHM Financial Park is reviewed as a minor subdivision pursuant to the
Summary Review Procedures of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations.
Findings are presented for each of the eight (8) public interest
criteria.
A. EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AMID SAFETY:
The proposed subdivision may pose some threats to public health
and safety relative to traffic safety and flooding. A large
portion of Lot 5 is included within the boundary of the 100-year
floodplain of Spring Creek. Any development of this lot must
comply with the flood -proofing requirements of the floodplain
regulations. Access to the subdivision is less than ideal and may
result in traffic congestion and auto/pedestrian conflicts. In
particular, vehicle traffic is expected to depart/arrive from two
(2) opposite directions and across private property. A private
road will collect a portion of the traffic for access onto Two
Mile Drive. Said private road is not built to City standards and
has limited opportunity for expansion since the right-of-way width
is "squeezed" to less than 40 feet near the approach to Two Mile
Drive. Vehicle traffic is also expected to approach the
subdivision from the parking area of Gateway West Mall. The
crossing traffic and high pedestrian use associated with the
parking lot will likely create conflicts with the "flog -through"
traffic of the subdivision.
Except for the two (2) above concerns, few other adverse impacts
to public health and safety is expected with this subdivision.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
Impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat should be minimal.
Degradation of instream habitat is possible unless adequate
mitigation measures are undertaken to prevent sediment and oil -
laden run-off from reaching Spring Creek. Disturbance of the creek
bank and any associated riparian vegetation should be avoided.
1. Water:
Spring Creek is the nearest surface water and forms a
portion of the southerly boundary of the subdivision. The
associated floodplain encompasses a large portion of lots.
Efforts to minimize impacts to the creek should include:
a. Maintenance of an undisturbed buffer along the creek;
b. Storm water retention to prevent direct discharge of
run-off into the creek; and,
3
0
E.
C. Compliance with the floodplain permit requirements and
other related permit programs.
2. Topography:
The subject property has
area near Spring Creek,
constraints to development
3. Vegetation:
gentle topography. Except for the
there should be no topographic
of the subdivision.
The property is mostly grass covered with no overstory of
trees. Some riparian vegetation is evident along the creek
but, otherwise, no plant community of particular
significance will be lost with development of the
subdivision.
EFFECTS ON TAXATION:
The current "land" taxes of the subject property are $10.885.
Following subdivisionr it is estimated that the total annual taxes
for the land will increase by about $4r000. Improvements on the
property will increase the annual tax revenue but the actual
revenue cannot be speculated at this time. However, it can be
expected that development of the lots will create greater demands
on public services such as police and fire protection. It is
possible that increased revenue will not fully "compensate" the
annual public expenditures that directly or indirectly benefit the
subdivision.
EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
1. Schools:
The proposed subdivision will create five (5) commercial
lots. As such, this subdivision will not have a direct
affect on school enrollment.
2. Parks and Recreation:
This subdivision is not subject to the parkland dedication
requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
since it is a non-residential subdivision. Again, approval
of this subdivision will not have a direct impact on the
existing recreational facilities of the City or County.
3. Fire Protection:
The Kalispell Fire department will respond to any fire
emergencies in the subdivision. Approval of this subdivision
must include provisions for the proper placement of fire
hydrants and the water main must meet the required fire flow
demands. Adequate turn -around capability on the private road
is necessary for the fire trucks. Some problems with traffic
0

interference may result if the fire department chooses to
access the subdivision from the Mall property.
Police Protections
The subdivision is within the jurisdiction of the Kalispell
Police Department. No comment on this subdivision was
expressed by the Department.
;...
The roadway access to the subdivision may not be adequate.
According to the submitted Environmental Assessment,
automobiles are expected to use both the mall parking lot
and the private road extending to Two Mile Drive for
ingress/egress to the subdivision. The mall parking lot with
access onto U.S. Highway 2 is private and is not suitable as
a traffic collector from the proposed subdivision. Conflicts
with mall traffic and pedestrians will increase as will
congestion at the intersection with U.S. Highway 2. See
related discussion under "Effects on Public Health and
Safety."
Correspondingly, Financial Drive, which extends from the
Crop Hail Building to Two Mile Drive is not built to comply
with the road design standards of the Kalispell Subdivision
Regulations. Said road has a right-of-way width of less than
60 feet and the pavement width is approximately 24 feet. At
some points, the right-of-way width is under 40 feet.
Financial Drive might have been acceptable to service the
existing office building but is considered to be substandard
for the purpose of providing access to a five -lot
commercial subdivision.
The proposed westerly extensio

that the cul-de-sac be paved t
50 feet.
Water/Sewer:
n
o
of Financial Way is shown as

The Fire Department requests
a minimum radius of at least
City water and sewer lines are available in the general area
of the subdivision. The city staff notes that the water main
must be extended to the westerly property line to facilitate
future looping. Extension of the sewer main may have to be
coordinated with the Two Mile Vista Apartment development to
ensure adequate gravity flow to the subdivision. Specific
design proposals will need to be worked out with the city
staff.
k,
7. Solid Waste:
City garbage pickup will be available to the subdivison. The
County landfill has sufficient capacity to accommodate any
waste from the subdivision.
8. Public Health Services:
The existing medical facilities in Kalispell can accommodate
any medical situation that might be associated with this
subdivision. Response time to the property should be less
than five (5) minutes.
The subject property is within the City limits of Kalispell and is
already committed to Commercial Uses. No productive farmland will
be lost with development of the subdivision.
G. EXPRESSED PUBLIC OPINION:
This subdivision is being reviewed pursuant to the Summary Review
Procedures of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations which do not
require public notification of the proposed subdivison. As such,
no comments have been received concerning the application.
There is no "evidence" to suggest that this subdivision is
"needed" or fulfilling any unmet demands. A similar commercial
subdivison (Kaltana) was approved as a preliminary plat to the
south of this subdivision but apparently interest in that
"subdivision" has been weak.
The proposed subdivision will create five (5) commercial lots in an area
west of the Gateway West Mall. Although the proposed subdivision is in
general compliance with many of the public interest criteria., several
concerns persist pertaining to roadway access.
This office does not find the mall parking lot to be an acceptable point
of access to the subdivision and the existing Financial Drive does not
comply with the design standards for roads. A commercial subdivision of
this type has the potential to create a large number of vehicle trips
with corresponding conflicts with pedestrians. No sidewalks are proposed
at this time and, without improved access and separation of vehicle and
pedestrian traffic, public safety will be compromised.
Notwithstanding the foregoing "reservations", the preliminary plat of
CHM Financial Park is recommended for approval with the following
conditions:
G
1. That primary access to the subdivision be restricted to Financial
Drive. Use of the "mall" parking lot for access shall be
restricted to emergency use only. The subdivider shall be
responsible for posting the necessary signs and for any other
improvements that may be necessary to limit access from the "mall"
property.
2. That additional right-of-way be obtained to provide a 60 foot wide
right-of-way for Financial Drive.
3. That Financial Drive and the westerly private road be paved to a
minimum roadway width of 28 feet with a paved cul-de-sac radius of
at least 50 feet.
4. That curbs and gutters be provided along the private roads and a
four (4) foot wide sidewalk provided on at least one side of
Financial Drive.
5. That the water main be located within the road right-of-way and be
extended to the westerly property line of the subdivision to
facilitate future looping. A fire hydrant or blow -off will be
,,,required at the end of the line.
6. That flow capacity of the water main shall be sufficient to meet
fire flow demands established by the Fire Chief. A hydraulic
analysis by a professional engineer must be provided to
demonstrate adequate capacity.
7. That a fire hydrant be installed at the western perimeter of the
cul-de-sac.
8. That the sewer main be extended from a location acceptable to the
Director of Public Works.
9< That adequate provisions for storm water drainage be provided in
accordance to plans approved by the Director of Public Works.
Information shall be supplied by a professional engineer in
accordance to the requirements of Section 3.11 B of the Kalispell
Subdivision Regulations.
10. Treatment of storm water shall include collection into a central
point and ponded to remove silts and sediments prior to discharge
into Spring Creek. Any discharge must meet the requirements of the
State Water Quality Bureau► Department of Fish, Wildlife and
Parks., and any applicable EPA requirements.
11. That the State Department of Health and Environmental Sciences
certify approval for all proposed water and sewer extensions and
drainage improvements.
12. That all required improvements including (a) extension of the
sewer main. (b) extension of the water main. (c) installation of
fire hydrants. (d) installation of a storm drainage system► and
(c) construction of the private roads be subject to the
7
requirements of Section 2.3 of the Kalispell Subdivision
Regulations.
13. That any work proposed in the area of the 100-year floodplain be
approved and permitted in accordance to the Floodplain
Regulations.
14. That street lighting be installed at locations acceptable to the
Director of Public Works.
15. That a green belt be provided in accordance to Section 4.05 of the
Kalispell Zoning Regulations.
16. That the net and gross acreage of each lot be shown on the final
plat.
17. That the private road(s) be named and correspondingly signed.
18. That covenants► reciprocal easement agreements, or other
acceptable agreement be prepared and recorded to establish the
ownership, rights, use, and maintenance of the private road(s).
19. That the riparian vegetation adjoining Spring Creek not be
disturbed► removed, or otherwise manipulated.
20. That all improvements shown on the plat and as required herein be
completed or guaranteed in accordance to Chapter 5 of the
Kalispell Subdivision Regulations prior to the approval of the
final plat.

ENVIRONMENTAL A, _SSMENT
CHM FINANCIAL PARK
I. ENVIRONMENT
A. Surface Water
1. See plan for location of Spring Creek, 100 year flood
plain and drainage ditches.
2. The only water system affected by the subdivision is
Spring Creek. The creek is used for both irrigation
and recreation. Water is, generally present all year
but the creek sometimes dries up in the summer.
II. COMMUNITY IMPACT
A. Water Supply
2a. Anticipated demand is estimated to be approximately
3000 gpd per lot.
b.(i) Water will be provided by the city of Kalispell.
(ii) The nearest water main is within the subdivision
as shown on the plan. The system's capacity is
adequate to handle the increased demand.
(iii) The subdivision is presently connected to the
system.
B. Sewage Disposal
2a. Anticipated sewage generated will be approximately
1500 gallons per day per'lot.
b.(i) Sewage disposal will be provided by the city of
Kalispell.
(ii) The nearest sewer main is adjacent to the subdivision
as shown on the preliminary plat. The system's
capacity is adequate to handle the increased demand.
(iii.) The existing and proposed sewer lines are shown on
the preliminary plat. Until preliminary plat approval
is granted it would not be prudent to have engineered
plans and specs prepared for the extension.
D. Roads
1. Construction will be required to extend the private road
West to the culdesac.
2. All roadways are private. The developer of the lots will
pay for installation of the roadway. Maintenance will
be paid for by all lot owners. This will be covered by a
reciprocal easement agreement.
3. When fully developed it is anticipated that there will
be 600 trips/day generated by the subdivision. Approxi-
mately 65% of those will access the subdivision from
Highway 2 with the other 35% using the Two Mile Drive
access. Access from U.S. Highway 2 is adequate to
accomodate the increased traffic. It is not certain what
the capability of Two Mile Drive is, but it should be able
to handle the 228 trips per day anticipated. The increase
in traffic should not result in any major increase in
maintenance problems and cost.
4. Year round access is available to all lots.
5. Access to the subdivision from Highway 2 passes through
property owned by Vivian Jean Manahan and leased by
Gateway West Shopping Center Association. A reciprocal
easement agreement covers this access.

Re: Environmental Assessment for Crop Hail Subdivision
Dear Mr. Marquardt:
Your request for "waiver of the Environmental Assessment"
requirement, as applicable to the above referenced subdivision,
was considered by the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and
Zoning Commission during their regularly scheduled meeting held
on Thursday, October 16, 1986. The request was considered under
the agenda item, New Business.
I provided a brief review of the proposed subdivision and,
following Board discussion, it was unanimously resolved that a
partial Environmental Assessment was appropriate.
The partial Environmental Assessment must include discussion of
the following sections of the Environmental Assessment outline as
shown in Appendix A of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations:
I A - Surface Water
II A - Water Supply
II B - Sewage Disposal
II D - Roads
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

FROM: Ken Hammer, Director of Public Works
RE: CHM Financial Park
The City of Kalispell Staff has reviewed the plans for CHM
Financial Park and offers the following comments.
WATER
1. Proposed main extension cuts across Lot 1, Lot 5 and then into
the cul-de-sac. Main should be located in 60` private road
and utility easement. As such, main must be 1) relocated at
once into the road easement if extended from line feeding the
hydrant north of Crop Hail building or 2) extended westwards
from main that runs north -south between Crop Hail property and
Two Mile Drive.
2. Water main must be extended to westerly property line of development
to facilitate future looping. The exact location of the end
of the main must be coordinated with development plans for property
west of this subdivision (Two Mile Vista Apartments.) A fire
hydrant or blow off will be required at the end of the line.
3. Flow capacity of main must be sufficient to meet fire flow demands
established by the Fire Chief. A hydraulic analysis by a professional
engineer must be provided to demonstrate adequate capacity.
4. Plans and specifications for the extention must be submitted
to the City and SDHES and approved prior to final plat approval.
5. All work must be in accordance with City Standards.
6. Fire Department will require a fire hydrant installed on the
western perimeter of the planned cul-de-sac.
SEWER
1. The existing sewer is quite shallow and the proposed extension
shown on the preliminary plat might not provide gravity sewer
to all the lots of this subdivision. The new sewer facilities
PW-0402-86
CHM Financial Park Review
December 15, 1986
Page 2
of Two Mile Vista Apartments are much deeper. Extension of
a sewer main from the apartments might be more practical. Again,
this extension must be coordinated with development plans for
the adjacent area. I strongly recommend that CHM pursue the
option.
(Is the existing sewer line that drains eastward from the
development a part of our sustem or is it a private line? Can
it be extended?)
2. All sewer work must be done in accordance with City Standards.
3. Plans and specifications for the extension must be submitted
to the City and SDHES and approved prior to final plat approval.
STORM DRAINAGE
1. A report by a professional engineer concerning storm drainage,
especially magnitude of runoff, treatment methods, and form
of disposal, is required. Information to be furnished must comply
with City Ordinance No. 962.
2. All storm water shall be collected into a central point and
ponded to remove silts and sediments prior to discharge into
Spring Creek. Any discharge must meet the requirements of the
State Water Quality Bureau, State Department of Fish, Wildlife
and Parks, and any applicable EPA requirements.
3. All storm sewer work must be done in accordance with City Standards.
4. Report, plans and specifications for the storm drainage system
must be submitted to the City and SDHES and approved prior to
final plat approval.
RnAT1G
1. Presently, Financial Way is a private drive and should remain
that way.
2. The cul-de-sac should have a 50' paved radius to accommodate
City fire trucks and must be signed "No Parking" at the expense
of the developer.
3. Street lighting may be required.

Drawer 1997
Kalispell, Montana
59903-1997
The following is the Public Works Staff's response to Dean
Marquardt's letter dated December 24, 1986.
1. The Public Works Staff concurs with the deletion of Items 1, 2 and 4
of the Flathead Regional Development's recommendations. We understand
CHM has a written agreement with Gateway West Mall permitting
CHM clients ingress and egress over Gateway West Mall's property.
The City requests a copy of this agreement for City files.
2. The Public Works Staff concurs that Item 3 of the FRDO recommendations
applies only to the westerly private road.
3. The construction of the private roads shall remain subject to
the requirements of Section 2.3 of the Kalispell subdivision
regulations. Emergency access is a major concern of the City.
Also, the Public Works Department would like to be able to relate
the finished grade of the private road to the finished grade
of all the public improvements within the site.
4. The Building Department will respond. At�L`0` ,
5. The Public Works Staff feels the developer should have the option
of adjusting the boundary line between Lots 4 and 5 for the purpose
of adequately extending the water main to the westerly boundary
of the subdivision only. The location of the water line shall
be approved by the Public Works Department prior to the developer's
relocation of said boundary line. The City shall be granted
adequate easements for all public utilities within this subdivision.
6. Kalispell subdivision regulations, Section 2.2, states: "Approval
of a preliminary plat shall be effective for not more than one
calendar year." This regulation should not be compromised

January 2, 1987 ANNEXATION COMMITTEE 8:00 A.M.
Chairman Hafferman and Councilman Manning in attendance. Construction
Inspector Van Dyke, David Greer from FRDO, Dean Marquardt and Brian Cloutier
representing CHM Financial Park, and Building Official Jackson also present.
CHM FINANACIAL PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT - C. Hafferman explained some apparent
disagreements between the parties involved. She stated that she had walked
the area and her biggest question concerned possible traffic problems in the
future. For clarification the comments from this meeting will be grouped according
to subject, not not necessarily in the order in which they were discussed.
Financial Drive - The City Staff and Mr. Marquardt feel that the 60' ROW
required by the subdivision regulations should be waived. David Greer pointed
out that it was a subdivision regulation requirement whether the road was public
or private and that if the Council approves anything less than that they must
show findings of fact. He pressed for the 60' ROW due to future traffic needs.
Dean Marquardt pointed out that the point where Financial Drive meets Two Mile
Drive is the worst possible access because it is on the S-curve and Two Mile
Drive itself is not acceptable for the amount of traffic. David Greer pointed
out that Financial Drive at it's narrowest is only 37.4 feet, which leaves
no room for sidewalks or other improvements. Mr. Marquardt asked if it could
be designated a temporary road until such a time as the Mall develops another
access to the east. David Greer pointed out that the zoning on the property
to be developed allows even motels and the possible traffic problems must be
addressed. Brian Cloutier stated that office buildings were what was going
to be built in the development. He also said the traffic using Financial Drive
was people from the Northridge area - business traffic is coming from Highway 2.
C. Manning felt that ideally future access would line up with Hawthorne, but
Mr. Cloutier pointed out that use of the land would be severely restricted
if that were to happen. C. Hafferman asked that if the City agreed to let
Financial Drive be less than the 60' required and a private drive how it could
be worked out, and David Greer stated that it must be shown before the final
plat how each lot involved is responsible for upkeep and maintenance. Dean
Marquardt said again that he felt it should be temporary, but admitted that
temporary could turn in to permanent. Brian Cloutier stated he preferred solving
this problem now and felt the point at which Financial Drive meets the mall
parking lot was the greatest problem. Posts, concrete dividers, etc. were
discussed and it was felt that curbing and landscaping to make a better delineation
of traffic flow would help to solve the hazard at that point. C. Manning asked
about the possibility of adding 10 foot on the west side of Financial Drive
but the developers felt it would be very expensive. Brian Cloutier stated
he had always looked on Fianancial Drive as a secondary access, with the main
entrance through the mall. He felt that it has become more of an entrance
to the mall rather than to the development.
Access through Gateway West Mall - Dean Marquardt stated that there is
an agreement between the mall and the developers for common parking and access.
As growth has occurred the traffic patterns and parking have been altered to
accomodate the increase. The ideal access.is from Highway 2 and that is what
all plans have been based upon. C. Hafferman stated that traffic at the mall
is not controlled and cannot be without a full time policeman on duty. The
question was asked if signing would improve traffic patterns, but Mr. Marquardt
pointed out that they could not put signs up on mall property, and also that
signs on private property could not be enforced. David Greer felt that it
is conceivable that increased traffic because of development would not only
be hazardous, but that the mall could complain. A traffic light on Highway 2
ANNEXATION COMMITTEE
CHM Financial Park Preliminary Plat
January 2, 1987
Page 2
could possibly help but that is future. C. Manning asked if the mall is aware
of the potential for increased traffic. Brian Cloutier stated that the way
the easement reads the developer has access through all mall accesses. C.
Manning asked what would happen if hypothetically the mall closed — is the
developer covered for access. Perhaps tying up the access long range would
protect the developer and the City would feel better about easing up on the
regulations for Financial Drive. Those present looked at the present agreement
between the mall and the developer and it seemed to be in order. The consensus
was that the City doesn`t ever want to dump traffic onto Two Mile Drive, but
at the same time must be concerned about long—range access. David Greer pointed
out that neither does the City want to dump traffic into the parking lot. It
was felt that the present island at the entrance to the mall from Highway 2
as well as where the four lanes come together by the former Safeway were traffic
hazards, and a defined road easement within the parking lot area would help
to solve alot of problems. Mr. Cloutier stated that they had never had a problem
dealing with the mall and he would contact Ryan Heinz -.--,David Greer add-ed--that
if an agreement could be reached they would also need a maintenance and upkeep
agreement in writing before the final plat. Dean Marquardt stated that CHM
would attempt to have a specific roadway easement that was properly signed
through the mall parking lot. At the conclusion of the meeting there was some
additional discussion that this statement was not strong enough and that wording
should be added that if an easement cannot be defined then a 60' ROW easement
would have to be acquired and Financial Drive be built according to subdivision
regulations. It was also pointed out that the easement through the mall parking
lot would have to be the 60' required by the subdivision regulations.
Discussion of FRDO's Summary Remarks and Recommendation:
1. This shall be deleted. See addition A.
2. This shall be deleted. See addition A.
3. Section 2.3 of the Kalispell subdivision regulations calls for improvement
drawings. the City has a major concern for emergency access. The City also
wants to be able to relate the finished grade of the private road to the finished
grade of all the public improvements (utilities) within the site. David Greer
asked Mr. Marquardt what was meant by the statement in his letter "That construction
of the private roads be deleted from Item 12 since these are not public improvements."
Mr. Marquardt responded that he wished it deleted from the bonding requirement
because the bonding requirements only apply to public improvements. That is
what the law says and that is what he was asking for. David Greer stated that
any road that provides access to lots must be improved as a condition to approval.
Mr. Marquardt did agree that a final plat could not be filed unless the roadway
was improved or it was bonded.
4. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks: CHM'has no foot traffic with the possible
exception of foot traffic between office buildings and the mall. It was pointed
out that not only is each office building required to furnish their own parking,
but that this development would be done in a first class manner. This was
changed to read that curbs and gutters would be required only along the westerly
extension of Financial Drive.
ANNEXATION COMMITTEE
CHiM Financial Park Preliminary Plat
January 2, 1987

5. Construction Inspector Van Dyke stated that the Water and Sewer Super-
intendent had requested that the existing water line be moved to within the
ROW, but that the Public Works Director would not require that as long as access
was available for maintenance and repairs. After the meeting there was some
confusion about this because of the written staff report from the Director
of Public Works. Since the Director if Public Works is out of town the wording
"or as otherwise acceptable to the Director of Public Works" will be added
to the statement that the water line must be moved.
Items 6 - 9 are acceptable as is.
10. Planned ponding is within the flood plain area.
Items 11 - 13 are acceptable as is.
14. It is not known at this time if street lights will be needed, but
the developer will comply with the wishes of the Director of Public Works.
15. Green belt: As each lot is developed this requirement can be tied
to the site plan and building permit. Building Official Jackson stated that
the requirement is talking about visual screening along the common boundaries
rather than about landscaping.
Items 16 - 20 are acceptable as is.
Time period for approval of preliminary plat: Public Works staff recommends
1 year as opposed to Mr. Marquardt's request for 3 years. There is a conflict
here between state law (3 years) and City standards (1 year). The Committee
agreed that it should be one year until the City changes the policy. It is
the developer's responsibility to ask for an extension if it is necessary.
Addition A: That a specific 60-foot easement be provided within the Gateway
West Mall parking lot and that the roadway easement be properly signed. If
the aforementioned access is not obtained a 60' right-of-way easement for Financial
Drive must be acquired and Financial Drive built according to subdivision require-
ments.
Addition B: That the delineation of the traffic pattern flow at Financial
Drive and the entrance to the Gateway West Mall parking lot be addressed.
