PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 3RD DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2003. Pamela B. Kennedy Mayor ATTEST: Theresa White City Clerk r C �_� �J•�.. 1 VA 0 • A report to the Kalispell City Council regarding a request for preliminary plat aproval of a 4-lot residential subdivision located on Denver Avenue adjacent to Phoenix Street. This is a minor subdivision which is forwarded directly to the City Council for review and final action. BACKGROUND: A request for annexation and an initial zoning designation of City R-3, single-family residential, has been filed concurrently with the preliminary plat application. A. Petitioner and Owners: Foppiano Construction, Inc 1845 Helena Flats Road Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 257-1698 Technical Assistance: Jackola Engineering P.O. Box 1134 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406) 755-3208 B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for annexation lies east of Lone Pine View Estates on the east side of Denver immediately east of the Phoenix Street intersection. The property proposed for annexation and initial zoning can be described as Assessor's Tract 7AACA (Tract 2 of COS # 11,352) in Section 19, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Nature of Application: This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a 4-lot residential subdivision on approximately one acre of land in the southwest part of Kalispell. A request for annexation into the city and assignment of an initial zoning designation of R-3, a single-family residential zone intended primarily for single-family has been filed concurrently with the application for preliminary plat approval. Three of the proposed lots front on Denver are paved city streets with sewer and water available. The fourth lot fronts on a new internal subdivision road being constructed off of Denver Avenue. This road serves as the access road to the recently approved Ashley Meadows subdivision. Preliminary plat approval was granted to Ashley Meadows earlier this year. This road is already partially constructed as development is well underway. Total Area: 1.0 acres Total Lot Area in Lots: 1.0 acres Area in Roads: 0.0 acres Minimum Lot Size: 8,749 square feet (0.20 acres) Maximum Lot Size: 15,990 square feet (0.367 acres) E. Utilities: This subdivision would receive full City services. Water: City of Kalispell Sewer: City of Kalispell Solid Waste: City of Kalispell #KSR-03-4 Page 1 of 6 Gas: Montana Power Company Electricity: Flathead Electric Coop (underground) Telephone: CenturyTel (underground) Fire: City of Kalispell Schools: School District #5, Kalispell Police: City of Kalispell F. Zoning: The property is currently in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential. The applicants are requesting R-3 single-family residential with a minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet with annexation to the city. The proposed zoning would accommodate the proposed project. G. Existing Land Use: Currently this property is in residential use. A single-family residence is located in the center of the property fronting onto Denver; the single-family residence will occupy proposed Lot 2 of the subdivision. H. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The immediate area is characterized by single-family homes on urban sized lots. To the west lies Lone Pine Estates. A new subdivision, Ashley Meadows, received preliminary plat approval this spring on property to the south and east. North: Large lot subdivision with single-family homes, County R-1 zoning East: Single-family homes; City R-4 and County R-1 zoning South: Ashley Meadows, City R-4 zoning. West: Single-family homes, Lone Pine Estates, City R-3 zoning This project was presented to the site review committee at two different meetings. Staff supported the project as a logical infill development which can utilize existing and planned utilities and services. Sidewalks, boulevard and street trees were recommended along Denver and the new access into Ashley Meadows to complete the remaining urban services in this neighborhood. It was pointed out that the project would have to coordinate with Ashley Meadows for the completion of the access road and sewer and water extensions. This application is reviewed as a minor subdivision in accordance with statutory criteria and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations. A. Effects on Health and Safety: Fire: This subdivision would be in the service area of the Kalispell Fire Department. The property can be considered to be a low risk of fire because the subdivision and homes within the subdivision would be constructed in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code and have access which meets City standards. All of the lots will abut a street that has been constructed to City standards. The property does not have steep slopes or woody fuels. Hydrants will be required to be placed in compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and the approved by the fire chief. The fire access and suppression system should be installed and approved by the fire department prior to final plat approval because of potential problems with combustible construction taking place prior to adequate fire access to the site being developed. #KSR-03-4 Page 2 of 6 Flooding: According to FIRM Panel #1815 dated 9/30/92 the site is close to but does not have any designated floodplain. Access: Access to the subdivision would be along Denver for three proposed lots and from a new internal roadway that will be developed off of Denver Avenue to serve Ashley Meadows for the fourth lot. The developer has been in close communication with the developer of Ashley Meadows and is coordinating schedules. This property is generally level and has most recently been used as a single-family residence. It is surrounded on all sides by new and recently urbanizing residential uses. It is not mapped for nor does it provide for important wildlife habitat or habitat for endangered species. Surface and groundwater: This subdivision will be served by public water and sewer thereby minimizing any potential impacts to the groundwater. Ashley Creek lies easterly approximately 200 feet to the east. Between this project and Ashley Creek lies a portion of Ashley Meadows. An engineered storm water drainage system will be required. It is unlikely that this project will directly or indirectly affect Ashley creek Drainage: This site is relatively level and does not pose any unusual challenges to site drainage. Curbs and gutters will be installed and a storm drain management plan will have to be developed to address the runoff from the site. There is no City storm drain system in the immediate area and storm water will have to be managed using on -site retention methods as part of the storm water management plan. W to : Water service to the subdivision would be provided by the City of Kalispell from a water main that lies in the Denver Avenue right-of-way. Water for Lot 4 will be provided by a water main extension that is required with the development of Ashley Meadows. This water extension would be done solely by the developers of Ashley Meadows at their expense. The water main in Denver and the main extension will provide water service to the homes in the subdivision as well as the fire flows needed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code. The developer has been coordinating with the Ashley Meadows project. Sews: Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell with three lots being served by the sewer located in the Denver Avenue right-of-way and as in the case of water, by the sewer main that will be extended along the access road for Ashley Meadows subdivision, currently under construction. Design and construction of the main will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department and will be required to be constructed in accordance with the City of Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards. Roads: Traffic projections for this subdivision are estimated to be approximately 40 additional vehicle trips per day based on the estimate of 10 vehicle trips per residence per day in the area. Denver has an adequate travel surface and capacity to accommodate this traffic flow. The access road serving Ashley Meadows which abuts this subdivision will serve a maximum of 130 vehicles and has adequate capacity as well to address traffic flows from this project. The subdivision roads will be constructed to City standards and would include curb, gutter, sidewalks and #KSR-03-4 Page 3 of 6 landscape boulevards within the subdivision. The internal subdivision road will access onto Denver Avenue. The grid system established in the area and existing network of roads will be insignificantly impacted by this development,; and the impacts would not be beyond the capacity of the roads in the area nor would they be beyond that which would be anticipated as a result of continued growth and urban expansion in the area. Once the roads have been constructed and accepted by the City of Kalispell, they will be dedicated to the City and maintained. Once constructed the roadway would be turned over to the City of Kalispell for ownership and maintenance. Schools: This development is within the boundaries of School District 5, Kalispell. The school district superintendent has consistently responded to these new subdivisions by stating that the district has no objections to the subdivision and will accommodate any new students into the district. It can be anticipated that approximately two additional school age children may be generated from this subdivision at full build out. This would have an insignificant impact on the district. Parks and Open Space: this subdivision is submitted as a minor subdivision and is exempt from parkland dedication. From a cumulative impact, it will continue to place a strain on park facilities in this neighborhood. Police: This subdivision would be in the jurisdiction of the City of Kalispell Police Department. The department can adequately provide service to this subdivision, however the cumulative impacts of growth within the city further strains the department's ability to continue to provide the high level of service the department is committed to. Fire Protection: Fire protection services will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department, and the subdivision will need to meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code. The fire department will review and approve the number and location of hydrants within the subdivision as well as fire flows and access. Although fire risk is low because of good access and fairly level terrain, the fire department is recommending that access to the subdivision and the hydrants be in place prior to final plat approval and / or use of combustible materials in construction. Solid Waste: Solid waste will be handled by Evergreen Disposal for the first 5 years. There is sufficient capacity within the landfill to accommodate this additional solid waste generated from this subdivision. Medical Services: Ambulance service is available from the fire department and ALERT helicopter service. Kalispell Regional Hospital is close, less than two miles from the site. E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural water user facilities: The site has been traditionally used as a residential lot in an area of very limited agricultural use, primarily grassland. The land is more efficiently and effectively used for urban residential development. Its location within the planning jurisdiction and its proximity to urban services makes this property prime for the type of development being proposed. There will be relatively little impact on agricultural uses within the Valley and no impact on agricultural water user facilities since this property will be served by a public water system. #KSR-03-4 Page 4 of 6 F. Relation to the Kalispell Growth Policy: This property is in the Kalispell Growth Policy potential utility service area and is anticipated to develop as an Urban Residential area. This land use designation anticipates a density of four to 12 dwelling units per acre. Since this property is zoned R-3, a single-family residential district, it can be calculated that this subdivision has a density of approximately four dwelling units per gross acres. Areas designated as Urban Residential are anticipated to be served by community water and sewer and have good access to services and public facilities. The proposed development is in compliance with the anticipated uses and development of the growth policy. G. Compliance with Zoning: This property has been zoned R-3, a Single -Family Residential district that is intended for single-family and has a minimum lot size requirement of 7,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet. All lots appear to meet these standards. H. Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations: The preliminary plat appears to be in substantial compliance with the State and City Subdivision Regulations. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt staff report #KSR-03-4 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Development of the subdivision shall be platted in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat which governs the location of lots and roadways within the subdivision except as modified by the conditions listed herein. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Appendix C - Final Plat I(A) Contents of final Plat). 2. Because Ashley Meadows subdivision lying on the south and east side of this subdivision has only been granted preliminary plat approval and this subdivision depends on the access road to serve Lot 4 of this subdivision, if the Ashley Meadows access road is not complete at the time of final plat of North Meadows subdivision, the applicant will wither eliminate Lot 4 from his project, develop Lot 4 in a separate phase or bond to have the road completed. (Fire Marshall - Site Review). 3. The applicant shall install curb gutter, a minimum 5-foot wide landscape boulevard with street tress and a minimum 5-foot wide sidewalk along Denver and along the new access road serving Ashley Meadows the entire length of his property. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.01 & 3.09A). 4. That a letter be obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department approving the plans and specifications for water, sewer, drainage facilities and street improvements for the subdivision. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.09, 3.12 - 3.15). 5. A letter from an engineer licensed in the State of Montana certifying that the public improvements have been installed according to the required specifications shall be submitted at the time of final plat approval along with a letter from the Kalispell Public Works Department stating that the required improvements have been inspected and comply with the City standards. (Kalispell Sub Regs. Sections 3.09, 3.11 - 3.15). 6. That a letter be obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department approving the installation of the water, sewer, drainage facilities and street improvements for the subdivision. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.09, 3.12 — 3.15). #KSR-03-4 Page 5 of 6 7. Development of the landscape boulevard with location of street trees shall be done in accordance with a plan approved by the Kalispell Parks and Recreation director with verification of plan compliance from the parks director submitted at time of final plat. (Site Review). 8. The fire access and suppression system shall comply with the Uniform Fire Code and a letter from the Kalispell Fire Department approving the access "and placement of fire hydrants and fire flows within the subdivision shall be submitted with the final plat. The fire access and suppression system shall be installed and approved by the Fire Department prior to final plat approval. (Uniform Fire Code). 9. The developer shall provide a letter from the U.S. Postal Service approving the plan and verifying installation from the mail service. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.22). 10. Street lighting shall be located within the subdivision and shall be shielded so that it does not intrude unnecessarily onto adjoining properties. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.09 L)). 11. All areas disturbed during development of the subdivision shall be re -vegetated with a weed -free mix immediately after development. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.13). 12.
