SUBJECT Mountain Vista Estates Phase 4 Subdivision — Request for one-year preliminary plat
extension
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2010
BACKGROUND: This is a request by the managing members of Touchstone, LLC, the owners of Mountain Vista
Estates Phase 4 for a one-year extension of the preliminary plat of the subdivision. The subdivision would create
19 residential lots and was approved on August 6, 2007 by the Kalispell City Council subject to 27 conditions.
Mountain Vista Estates Phase 4 is approximately 7.6 acres in size and is located on the north side of Three Mile
Drive approximately one-half mile west of Stillwater Road. It abuts the easterly boundary of Mountain Vista
Estates Phase 1, a city subdivision that received final plat approval in August of 2006. Spring Creek makes up the
northern and easterly boundary of the subdivision and the project is just north of the Cottage Gardens subdivision.
The property can be legally described as Assessor's Tract 113FA located in Section 2, Township 28 North, Range
22 West, P.P.M., Flathead County.
The Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, section 2.06.E.7, allows the subdivider to request a one-year extension of
the preliminary plat approval deadline from the city council. A one year extension would give the developer until
August 6, 2011 to file the final plat.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the resolution and grant a one-year extension to the preliminary plat
approval for Mountain Vista Estates Phase 4 Subdivision would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
Respectfully submitte
