SUBJECT Annexation and Initial Zcrrirrg of B- , General Business, for
NIPO, LLC Foijr Corners Area
MEETING E. June 2 1 , 2004
BACKGROUND: This request was previously scheduled before the Kalispell City
Council for consideration at their March 3, 2003 meeting at which time the request
was withdrawn by the ai .i art because of concerns expressed by the council that
utilities may not be available to the site. SMce that time the utility issue has been
resolved and the City has committed to installing the -infrastructure concurrent 'With
the reconstruction of Hwy 93 to Four Corners. The property owners would still life t
annex this property in order to have access to the utilities when they are completed.
Hence, this matter has again come before the council for consideration and action.
This is a. request by NIPO, LLC for an initial zoning designation of B--2, General
Business, upon annexation into the city of Kalispell on approximately 9.33 acres that
lies between Hwy 93 south and Willow Glen Drive north of Lower Valley load. The
property is currently in the Cou.rity zoning jurisdiction and is zoned B- 2, General
Business. This zoning district is intended to serve the traveling pubhc and has been
located along major highways and thoroughfares in the county. The property owner is
requesting CAY B-2, a General Business zoning district which is similar in intent and
the types of allowable uses as the County B-2 zoning. The B-2 distn'ct is intended to
provide areas for retail sales and services which might require outdoor display of
merchandise and would service the general reeds of the motoring public. The B-2
areas M the City are typically located along major transportation. The property is
being annexed in order to receive City services when they become available with the
extension of the utilities with the reconstruction of Hwy 93 South to Four Comers.
Currently City utilities are located approximately to the north of the property rear the
end of the City Airport runway. This property is currently undeveloped and would be
the intent of the property owner not to develop the site until such time as the utilities
could be available. Demands on public services would be generally non-existent
until such time as the site becomes developed. An extension of services plan has
been included with the information associated with this request based on the current
situation since the type and value of the development ent of the site is unknown.

and approved by the Building Codes Bureau, Department of Labor and Industry, State of
Montana; to provide a penalty for the violation of any lawful order issued pursuant thereto*
and establishing inan effective date. The motion was seconded.
Larson asked if there is a companion cede In the International Fire Codes.
Kerzman answered the State is still using the I, r forn Fire Code so there will be disconnect between
the International Codes and Uniform Codes.
The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote with all members present.
ORDINANCE I44 — WARD BOUNDARIES ADJUSTMENT --- IST READING
Every ten years following the federal census cities are required to examine voter wards to determine
whether they are fairly proportioned. The `ri-City Planning office has examined the Census 2000
block data and Ordinance 1446 adjusts the ward boundaries to he consistent within two percent
Kenyon moved first reading of Ordinance 1446, an ordinance amending Section -I of the
Kalispell City Codes (ordinance No. I34I) by re-establishing the boundaries of the wards of
the City; The motion was seconded*
There was no discussion.
The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote with all members present,
RESOLUTION 477— ANNEXATION REQUEST — NI -PO �
NIPO, LLC is requesting annexation of approximately ately . acres of undeveloped property located
between Highway 93 South and Willow Glen Drive north of Lower valley Road,
Kenyon moved Resolution 47, a resolution to provide for the alteration of the boundaries of
the city of Kalispell by including therein as an annexation certain real property, as more
particularly described on Exhibit "All, located In Section 29, Township 28 North, Badge 21
West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, to be known as Four Corners Addition No. 32 ; to
zone said property in accordance with the Kalispell Interim Zoning ordinance, and to declare
an effective date. The motion was seconded.
Kukulski gave a staffreport stating this is vacant laud that is not contiguous to the City. He asked the
Council to compare this property to that. of the Willows, which was sexed in its raw state and also
not contiguous to the City. In addition., when the US Highway South project is done, the urban
standard will hegira at Four Corners with sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
Hafferma.n read a written statement outlining why this annexation should not he before the Council.
(Statement is attached and by this reference is made a part of the official record)

Counsell stated he's also concerned about the ISO rating if we continue to annex property further
and firffier south. He said the property is not contiguous and it would be a mistake to annex this
property at this time.
Kenyon asked Garner and l rodehl to respond.
rodehl commented the ISO rating is only impacted by structures outside the rile and a half
response area. He said bare ground would have no effect.
Gamer stated the a.n.e.ation would require very little enforcement now, but would require more in
the future when the property is developed.
Olson said the Council may be acting too quickly if it approves this annexation, asking what if the
highway project isn't built for many years.
Hansz answered the contract is expected to be let in l ecerhber, 2003 with construction to begin the
spring of .200.
Larson said his biggest concern is the ISO rating. He said the City has constantly been trying to
reduce the rating, yet a lot of times it does things contrary to that. In addition, he's still not
convinced that the Council has agreed to extend utilities to Four Corners.
lukulsli emphasized a resolution has been passed committing the City to extending those utilities,
Jentz stressed that when someone asks to be annexed, it's usually for a very specific reason. He said
it's not easy to annex' a piece of property, adding it would be easier to install a septic system and
well. Jentz. said the developer would like to be annexed, whereas many others have opted to stay out.
Leistiko commented he's sure - the developer is aware that if the property is developed before the
highway project is complete it's going to cost a sizable amount of money to run sewer and water to
his land. He said he's not concerned about the vacant land, but he is concerned with the ISO rating
and if it's not necessary to annex this property at this time, then the City shouldn't be doing it.
Haffernnan reminded the Council that the requirement that a developer is responsible for
infrastructure has been on the books since 1982. He said he wasn't on the Council when the
commitment was made to extend utilities, but if he had been, he would have emphasized it's in
violation of the City's existing rules and regulations.
Atkinson said it's a Catch 22, the City wants to annex undeveloped properties, but it also has a
policy not to annul land that's not contiguous. He said he agrees with Hafferman that the Council
should have looked at other options to extend sever and water to that area, however, a resolution has
been passed and promises made. Atkinson said even though he voted in favor of the request at the
Planning Board level, he didn't see any compelling reason for the annexation and the City should
follow its policies and pass on the annexation at this time.
Olson moved to table Resolution 4775 for sixty days. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Kenyon, Leistiko Olson and Mayor
Kennedy voting in favor, and Counsell, Hafferman, Larson and Peters voting against.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 5 1N ERLOCAL AGREEMENT — RAWSON FIELD
School District 5 has requested that the City Council approve ,a five-year agreement to allow off-

Larson moved the Mayor be authorized to execute the Interlocal Agreement on behalf of the
.sell City Council with School District 5 concerning parking at Rawson Field. The motion
was seconded.
uk-ulsi gave a staff report.
Atkinson asked if it's understood that any improvements made to the property by the School District
becomes the ,property of the City once the agreement has ended.
Kukulsl i answered that's correct.
Atkinson commented the City has requirements relative to parking lots, specifically that they be
paved. He asked if this area will be pared.
Kukuls i said that has been discussed and the bottom line is that school districts don't necessarily
have to follow city ordinances, and In this case it's beneficial to both parties not to have it paved.

Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on February 11 � 2003, and held a public

93 south and Willow Glen Drive north of lower Valley Road. The property is currently
in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned -2, General Business. A petition for
annexation was received from the property owner and a request has been made for B-
2, General Buslness, zoning upon annexation. This zoning is consistent with the
existing County --2, General Business zoning in intent and anticipated uses. The
property is being annexed in order to receive City services when they are avaii.a. le with
the reconstruction of Hwy 93 and anticipated extension of city services.
Ta da Wilson with. the Tri-City Pan Office presented staff` report KA- 03-1,
evaluating the proposed zoning noting that the proposed zoning is consistent with the

made a. d ,passed unanimously to forward a recommendation that initial zoning for
this property should be -2 , General Business, upon annexation.

C, Existing zoning: This property is currently located in the County zoning
jurisdiction and is zoned B-2 , a General Business zoning district which . allows
a wide variety of uses Mcluding uses that require areas for outdoor display and
storage of merchandise. This zoning district is intended to serve the traveling

court ,,.
Proposed Zoning: The property owner is requesting City B- , a General
Business zoning district which is similar in latent and the t es of allowable
uses as the County B-2 zoning. The B-12 district is intended to provide areas
for retail sales and sendces which might require outdoor cas-Dlav of
se and c� c general neeas o the otorir�iic. The
'
B-2 areas in the city are typically located alorig major or transportation corridors.
El size: The area proposed for annexation and zoning contain* s approxunately
. 3 3 acres.
, emsting Land Use: This property is currently undeveloped.
G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The character o the immediate 'area is
generaNy oominercial M character vith several 'businesses displaying large

H. General Land Use Character: The general land. use character of the area is a
generaffy commercial with some e light industrial uses Gong the Hviry.93 corridor

Availability Public Services.- city eater and " sewer are planned to be
extended from their current location approximately 2000 feet to the north to
the Four comers area with the rec tr ctlon of Hwy 93 between Ashley Crc,%ek
and the .flathead County Courthouse. This r constr ct on, -was anticipated to
begin in the Spring of 2003. However, ROW acquisition issues have required
that this project be broken down into two segments and construction this
area may not start until 2004 or later. Once in place, these utilities will -be
available to this property for connection. Other City services Mol dinpolice,
fi
re, solid vvaste and administrative services can be provided to this site.
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning s -set Forth by ' - 22 205, M.C.A.
Findings. c)f fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized
crlter'a described b - - o3, M.C.A.
This area was zoned in accordance with the Kalispell city-eo :hty -Master Plan
Map which designated this area. as Commercial with are orientation toward
general commercial ses because of its proximity r along Hwy 93. The current
and proposed zonin are er. eras.. consistent with regard to the types of uses
anticipated in the distr'ct. Locating the type of general commercial uses along
a. major or highway corridor in an established commercial area is consistent with
zoning and uses In the area..
The proposed zoning of this property ,to a. general business zoning district is
consistent with emoting County zoning and will not result in. a. charge in use or
the anticipated. -level of traffic generated from the site. Hwy : 3 -South is a major
arterial in the Kalispell Transportation Plan and this area currently
accornrno at s a. variety of general commercial uses appropriately located along
this major roadway.
r
There is no obvious increase in risk related to the proposed -2 zoning district
which would impede fire or police access to the site. Access for fire and other
emergency services is generally good..
Because this anhexation will enable the property owners to connect to public
sewer and develop the property with full public services, the public health and
welfare of the community will be served.
This property is c.urrently undeveloped and, any future development of the site
with a com ercial � use which right be "planned for this property win be
required to comply with the development standards of the -2 zoning district,
which assures that there is adequate'light and air.
The requested zoning designation is consistent with the type of development,
which would be anticipated under the .c rrent County oning. The requested
zone will not contribute to the overcrowding of land because it will be
developed in accordance With all City regulations,
RON
.n i�r ease M' the concentration of people and are increase In the intensity o
uses may result under the proposed annexation since the property will be able
to be developed more densely that It would in the county without public
utilities. However, the proposed City zoning is consistent with the current
County zoning. Furthermore, the development standards in the district are
intended to avoid the undue concentration of people in the area beyond. what
the Infrastructure and facilities are able to accommodate.
e requested zoning mi -1 not impact the vi
provision The of services, but wiE allow
t�. propel �to develop this site t higher density �d tensity than. w d
otherwise possible once f.fl unties are available.- Water and serer are
currently not available to this property but are antic' ted to be extended with
thexeconstruction of Hwy 93 South anticipated to bed in Spr'm'g of 2003.
MY WMO O * fi t..... ....
The proposed zoning is consistent with the current -2 zoning of the propel
and the properties in the immediate area.' These properties have been
developed with boat sales and storage, offices, business Offices, a convenience
store and other commercial uses, in the immediate area. The proposed z rein
gives adequate consideration to the suitability of the propel for the uses
allowed under the City B-2 zoning.
The general character of the area is pr ay limited commercial and light
industrial uses -in the immediate area. 'these are, appropriate to the him
volumes of traffic and high visibility along the Hwy93 corridor. The requested
zone gives reasonable consideration to the character the area and is
consistent with other development in the area.
Value of the huildings in the area will be conserved because the uses awcd
n.der the -2 zoning would be generally consistent and complementary to
other uses c area.
The most appropriate use of land throughout the junMiction is the genera
commercial zoning designation being requested. This is consistent with the
uses and other zoning in the area and promotes the stability and neighborhood
character of the immediate area.
