Drawer 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 Re: Preliminary Plat Approval for Ranchview Subdivision Dear Chris: The Kalispell City -County Planning Board held a public hearing at their regular meeting of June 8, 1999 to consider a request by Robert Peters for preliminary plat approval of Ranchview Subdivision, a 2.88 acre subdivision containing ten lots. The property is located on the west side of Grandview Drive and just south of Commons Way in the north part of Kalispell. Narda Wilson with the Flathead Regional Development Office presented the staff report KPP-99- 2 and recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to the 14 conditions contained in the staff report. She noted the board should consider requiring sidewalks along Grandview Drive. At the public hearing Jeff Larsen, project engineer, spoke in favor of this project. He stated that sidewalks on Grandview Drive would be inconsistent with the area. He noted that the applicant would probably take the option of using an independent appraisal for determining the cash -in - lieu of parkland amount. Milt Carlson and B. J. Carlson both spoke in favor of the project noting the excellent project design. No one spoke against the petition. The board discussed the project and considered public testimony. A motion was made to adopt staff report KPP-99-2 as findings of fact and recommend that the city council approve the proposed preliminary plat subject to the amended conditions. The motion passed unanimously. Attachment A lists recommended conditions of approval as amended by the board. Please schedule this matter for the June 21, 1999 regular city council meeting. You may contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Flathead Regional Development Office if you have any questions regarding this matter.

A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a request for preliminary plat approval of a 10 lot residential subdivision. A public hearing on this proposal has been scheduled before the planning board for June 8, 1999 in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the city council for final action. BACKGROUND Applicant:A. to lq Technical Assistance Robert Peters c/o Doug Peters 340 Grandview Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 (406)752-8487 Jeff H. Larsen, P.E., P.L.S. Larsen Engineering and Surveying, Inc. P.O. Box 2071 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406)752-7808 This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a ten lot residential subdivision on approximately 2.88 acres with all lots containing over 8,000 square feet. The property is in an RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment District, which has a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet for duplexes plus an additional 3,000 square feet for each unit beyond a duplex. There are several lots within the proposed subdivision which would accommodate duplex and multi -family dwellings. The lots would be accessed by way of a new internal roadway which will end in a cul-de-sac. The new roadway will have access onto Grandview Drive. Community water and sewer would be extended to serve the lots within the subdivision and all improvements would be constructed to City standards. Cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication is being proposed. An approximately two plus acre remainder tract will be created as a result of this subdivision where the Peters currently have their home. rl-M M. :. This property is located on the west side of Grandview Drive and just south of Commons Way in the north part of Kalispell. Current city limit boundaries front along the eastern boundary of this property. The property can be described as a 2.88 portion of Assessor's Tract 5AA located in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M. M., Flathead County, Montana. Total Area: 2.88 acres Total Lot Area in Lots: 2.34 acres Area in Roads: 0.54 acres Minimum Lot Size: 0.20 of an acre (8,675 square feet) Maximum Lot Size: 0.29 of an acre (12,697 square feet) to Total Area: Total Lot Area in Lots: Area in Roads: Minimum Lot Size: Maximum Lot Size: 2.88 acres 2.34 acres 0.54 acres 0.20 of an acre (8,675 square feet) 0.29 of an acre (12,697 square feet) Existing Land Use: Traditionally is currently undeveloped with the exception of the single family residence located on the remainder tract. �. Adjacent Land Uses: This area can be described as being located on the urban fringes of the city with more urban development to the west in the way of the Buffalo Commons PUD, the hospital and office uses. To the east, is more suburban residential and rural residential in nature. There are some large parcel tracts in the area, some which currently have livestock. To the north are also some large parcels which create a somewhat rural residential atmosphere, but to the south are smaller single family and mutli-family lots and homes. North: Suburban residential and multi -family homes, County R-1 and City RA-1 zoning South: Single family homes, City RA-1 zoning East: Suburban residential single family homes, County R-1 zoning West: Undeveloped parcels in Buffalo Commons development, PUD zoning G. Zoning: Currently this property is zoned RA-1, a Low Density Residential zoning district which has a minimum lot size requirement of one 6,000 square feet for all single family and duplex lots plus an additional 3,000 square feet for each lot beyond a duplex. Several of the lots within the subdivision would accommodate a multi -family development, however, as the current zoning exists, a conditional use permit for multi- family would be required. The proposed lots within the subdivision all exceed the minimum lot size requirements of the district which all lots being in excess of 8,000 square feet in size. The RA-1 zoning district limits the types of permitted uses in the district to primarily single family and duplex uses. Setbacks in the RA-1 zoning district are 20 feet in the front and rear. Currently, the side yard setbacks are ten feet plus an additional ten feet for buildings in excess of 25 feet in height. Amendments to the side yard setbacks for the RA-1 zoning district are scheduled to be considered by the Kalispell City Council at their June 7, 1999 regular meeting. As a result of the proposed amendments, the side yard setback requirements may change. H.

Effects on Health and Safety: Fire: This subdivision is in the service area of the Kalispell fire department, and the fire station is approximately three miles from this site. The property can be considered to be a low to moderate risk of fire because it abuts a City street, 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 fire chief. The proximity of this development further stretches the fire departments resources in the northern part of Kalispell where a fire substation is needed. Flooding: According to FIRM Panel # 1805D dated 9 / 30/ 92 notes that the site is located entirely in Zone C which is not a floodprone area and no special permits are required for development. Access: Primary access will be from Grandview Drive to the east and then an internal subdivision road will be developed which ends in a cul-de-sac. Grandview Drive is a City street is relatively good condition, however, there are no sidewalks along Grandview Drive. Access to the proposed subdivision can be considered to be reasonably good and the roadway is adequate to accommodate additional traffic which might be generated from this subdivision. The approach onto Grandview Drive does not pose concerns relating to sight distance or road grade. This property is generally grasslands that were probably used for pasture in the past and does not provide important wildlife habitat for any type of big game or endangered species. Likely some migratory birds and occasional deer may visit the site, however, this area does not provide significant habitat for wildlife. Effects on the Natural Environment: Surface and groundwater: This subdivision will be served by public water and sewer thereby minimizing any potential impacts to the groundwater. No surface water is in close enough proximity to the site to create concerns with regard to this development. The Stillwater River lies several hundred feet to the east and is far enough that no potential impacts would be expected from this development. Drainage: This site is relatively level and does not pose any unusual challenges to site drainage. Curbs and gutters will be installed and a stormdrain management plan will have to be developed to address the runoff from the site. There is a stormdrain system to the west which was developed as part of the Buffalo Commons PUD which will be utilized in part to address stormwater management. 3 Water: Water service is proposed to be provided by the City of Kalispell. Currently a water main lies to the northwest and to the southeast, but does not run along Grandview Drive in front of this property. Water mains will be extended along Grandview Drive to the east boundary of the site and within the subdivision itself. Staff is recommending that the water main be extended to the southern boundary of the subdivision to provide for future extension to the south in the event that this property is developed in the future. There is good development potential for the property to the south, and the short extension seems reasonable. Fire hydrants will also be required to be placed to serve this subdivision and are indicated on the preliminary plat. The sizing of the main will depend on the needs for adequate water flows and for service to the subdivision. Sewer: Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell. A sewer main runs along Grandview Drive and will be extended into the subdivision. In trying to plan for the reasonable extension of utilities to accommodate future development, staff is recommending that the sewer main be extended to the southern boundary of the subdivision to provide for future development to the south. Design and construction of the mains and service lines will need to be reviewed and approved by the City Public Works Department as well as the service lines to the individual lots within the subdivision. Montana Department of Environmental Quality will also review the proposed services as part of their subdivision review. Roads: Traffic projections for this subdivision are estimated to be approximately 100 vehicle trips per day based on the estimate of 10 vehicle trips per residence per day. This makes the assumption that this development will be made up of single family homes. However, it could be developed with duplex and/or multi -family homes which would generate substantially more traffic with two or three times as much traffic. The internal subdivision roads will be constructed to City standards and would include curb, gutter, sidewalks and landscape boulevards on both sides. Grandview Drive will function as the primary subdivision road and lacks such urban amenities generally associated with a City street. Future roadway extensions to the south are not being proposed or recommended because this property has access from a City street and a right-of-way platted within the subdivision to this parcel. The greatest concern regarding impacts to services will be the additional traffic generated onto Grandview Drive if these lots were developed with several multi -family dwellings, however, this roadway is anticipated to serve as a major north / south connection in this area and is identified as a collector street in the transportation section of the master plan. One access onto Grandview Drive is proposed from an internal road that ends in a cul-de-sac. The road would be constructed in accordance with the City's design and construction standards for local roads which would include curb, gutter, sidewalks and a landscape boulevard. Schools: This development is within the boundaries of School District #5, Kalispell, and Edgerton School would serve the primary grades. Gary Rose, Director of Maintenance and Transportation, responded by stating that elementary enrollment is down and there is not a space problem in the district at this time and busing is available. However, there is a problem at Edgerton School and there has been some discussion about changing the elementary school boundaries. If district boundaries 4 are changed it would probably be in the Russell School attendance area where busing may or may not be available. It can be anticipated that approximately five to ten school age children will be generated from this subdivision at full build out. This would have a potentially moderate to minimal impact on the district. Parks and Open Space: The state and local subdivision regulations have parkland / open space requirements for major subdivisions in the amount of one -ninth of the area proposed for the development. The developer is proposing cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication in order to address parkland dedication requirements. There is a City park not far from this site to the west along the Stillwater River. Although not fully developed with picnic areas and other amenities, it does provide good green space and a suitable walking area. In calculating the requirements, 2.34 acres within the subdivision is devoted to lots. Based on the one ninth or 11 percent requirements approximately 0.26 acres orl 1,212 square feet would be required for parkland or cash in lieu. No estimated value of the unimproved property was included with the application materials. However, according to the Flathead County Appraiser's Office, the estimated market value of the property in lots is $70,000 or $0.56 per square foot. Eleven percent of this value would be $6,279. If the developer does not accept this estimated value, then an independent appraisal can be obtained at the developer's expense and the lesser of the two values can be used for the purpose of calculating the cash -in -lieu of parkland amount.. Police: This subdivision is in the jurisdiction of the City of Kalispell Police Department. The department responded by stating that they can adequately provide service to this subd.vision. Fire Protection: Fire protection would be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. Although fire risk is low because of good access and level topography, the location of the subdivision in relation to the department places additional demands related to development in the north end of the city. A fire substation is needed in this area and this development further exacerbates this need. Solid Waste: Solid waste will be handed by the City of Kalispell and taken to the Flathead County Landfill. 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 by and less than a mile from the site. E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural water user facilities: The site has not been traditionally used for agricultural purposes other than perhaps some pasture land. 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 no impact on agricultural uses within the Valley an no impact on agricultural water user facilities since this property will be served by a public water system. This property is in the Kalispell City -County planning jurisdiction. The master plan map designation for this area is high density residential which anticipates eight to 40 units per gross acre. These areas are served by community water and sewer and have good access to services and public facilities. Even if there were a tri-plex developed on each lot, the density would be at 10 dwelling units per acre, far below that which would be anticipated under the master plan for this area. At a density of one dwelling per parcel, the density would be 3.4 dwellings per gross acre. At a density of two dwellings per parcel, the density would be 6.9 dwellings per gross acre. The proposal complies with the high density residential master plan designation. This property is currently zoned RA-1, a Low Density Residential Apartment zoning designation which requires a minimum of 6,000 square feet for a single family and duplex lot plus an additional 3,000 square feet for each dwelling beyond a duplex Minimum lot width in the RA-1 district is 60 feet. All of the lots within the subdivision comply with the standards for this zoning district. . • FVU.TVTM This subdivision complies with the state and local subdivision Regulations with regard to roadway width and construction as well as all other elements. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board adopt staff reports KPP-99-2 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 govern the location of lots and roadways within the subdivision. 2.

X. DRAINAGE A.l. It is proposed to use storm water drywells with storm drain inlets located in the flowline of the street gutter or low areas. The design may also incorporate on site infiltrator trenches or surface swales. The additional run-off caused by the development will be retained and percolated on site. (5) A.2. The new road will be paved with curb and gutter, blvd. and sidewalk on one both sides. A.3. No stream crossings are anticipated. B.1. Run-off will be directed to the road side curb and gutter and directed to storm drain inlets and allowed to percolate into the ground using permeable rock to allow percolation. B.2. It is not anticipated that storm water will enter surface waters. B.3. The site does not contain excessive slopes. However, during construction it may be advantageous to use erosion control methods such as hay bails, silt fences or temporary ditches during home or driveway construction. B A . Topography of the site will be modified to direct storm water to storm water inlets to allow percoltion into the ground. A. Based on the type of current residential use in this area it is anticipated that ten new residences could generate around 100 vehicles per day (vpd) of additional traffic or around 10 vehicles per hour (vph) at the peak hour during business times. This estimate was obtained by an overview of "Trip Generation", 5th Edition, by the Institute of Traffic Eng- ineers. A review of pages 257-261 of "Trip Generation" yielded these numbers. The property will use Grandview Drive for the main access. B. Develper will pay to construct roadway and dedicate it to the City of Kalispell. The roadway improvements will be built to City of Kalispell standards. C. Underlying soils are Tally Blanchard, and Flathead Soils according to the 1960 S.C.S. soil survey. These types of soils will not cause a major concern for erosion. Thes types of soils range from loamy sand to sand and would be suitable for percolation for storm water disposal on site and are excellent soil types for road construction. (6) D. N/A. E. Yes. F. N/A XII. EMERGENCY SERVICES A.la. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Kalispell. A.lb. N/A A.1c. None proposed. A.1d. Proposed hydrants are shown on the Preliminary Plat.

SCHOOLS The site is within the Kalispell School District, it is anticipated 5-10 additional school age children could result from this division. XIV. ECONOMIC BENEFIT A. The existing land has value of $22,010. The current taxes on this property value are approximately $2680.95 which includes the existing home and land together. B. After the land split the anticipated taxes on the land would definately increase. Future buildings would add add- itional revenue of approximately $1000-$2000 per unit. With a total of 10 additional units proposed. C. Water hook up fee is $618 and the sewer hook up fee is $1434. These figures were obtained from the City of Kalispell. (7) XV. LAND USE A. The land in this area is mainly residential and condos. B. The site is zoned RA-1, the proposed development is consistent with this zoning designation. C. Surrounding land uses are mainly residential or condos. D. The need for this subdivision is apparant because of the avail- ability of prospective buyers for these types of units in the valley. E.

During this regularly scheduled meeting, the board will hold public hearings or take public comments on the following agenda items and will make recommendations to the City Council or the Board of County Commissioners, who will take final action: To the Kalispell City Council: A request by George E. Schultz, aka Kal-Mont Dairy Farm, for annexation and initial zoning of B-1, Neighborhood Buffer District, for approximately 5.536 acres. The property proposed for annexation is located on the northeast corner of Whitefish Stage Road and West Evergreen Drive in the northeast part of Kalispell. Currently this property is in the Evergreen and Vicinity Zoning District and is zoned County B-1, a Neighborhood Professional Business zoning district. The property can be described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5 located in Section 32, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, and as further described on attached Exhibit A. 2. A request by David R and Deanne Berger for annexation and initial zoning of R-4, Two Family Residential, on approximately 0.62 acres. The property is located north of Belmar Subdivision and adjoins the northern boundaries of Lots 8, 9, and 10 of Belmar Addition Subdivision. This property can be described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 14.CA located in Section 19, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.,M, Flathead County, Montana, and as further described in Exhibit B. 3. A request by Walle and Mary Lou Lindsay for a zone change from R.4-1, a Low Density Residential Apartment, zoning district to B-3, a Community Business, zoning district which allows a variety of commercial uses. The area proposed for rezoning contains approximately 0.79 of an acre and is located at 580 North Meridian Road, on the east side of North Meridian Road and north of Two Mile Drive approximately 150 feet. The property can be described as Lot 1 of Stubbs Addition 58 located in Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.,M, Flathead County, Montana and as further described in attached Exhibit C. 4. A request by The Nurturing Center for a text amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, Sections 27.26.050(15), Parking Standards for Day Care Facilities, and Section 26.37.010(69), Definition of Day Care. As proposed, the standards would require one space per teacher/employee and delete the requirement for one off-street load space per six students. And would require one space per teacher/employee plus one off-street load space per six students for Day Care Centers and Nursery Schools. Additionally, the definition of Day Care Facilities would be clarified to denote a difference between a Family Day Care Home, Group Day Care Home and a Day Care Center and to clarify the term "regular basis." This amendment would potentially effect all areas within the City of Kalispell which allow day care facilities as either a permitted or conditionally permitted use. 5. A request by the City of Kalispell for various amendments to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance which are intended to be "housekeeping" changes that would not typically be controversial issues, but that would address several on -going problems within the City's zoning jurisdiction. Those changes would include but would not be limited to the following issues: increasing the allowable height in the "R" zonings from the current 15 foot limit to 18 feet provided they are single story construction; add banks, savings and loan and finance companies as a permitted use in the B-2, General Business district, change casinos from a conditional use to a permitted use in all districts which allow casinos and amend the definition of casino; allow single archways serving as pedestrian entrances not exceeding nine feet tall five feet wide and four feet deep in the required setback areas; reduce the required side corner setbacks from 15 feet to 10 feet on lots of 50 feet or less; to allow temporary events such as car shows, boat shows, carnival, concerts, etc. in the "B", "I" or "P" zones as a permitted uses provided the event does not occur more than seven days in a three month period; a provision to allow the issuance of an administrative conditional use permit which is a minor amendment to an existing conditional use permit; amend the definition of professional office. This amendments could potentially effect several areas of the zoning jurisdiction where these uses are allowed. 6. A request by Robert Peters for preliminary plat approval of a ten lot residential subdivision located west of Grandview Drive and south of Commons Way in the north part of Kalispell. The property is zoned RA-1, a Low Density Residential Apartment, zoning district which has a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet for single family homes plus an additional 3,000 square feet per unit beyond a duplex. The total acreage within the subdivision is approximately 2.88 acres with the lots ranging in size from approximately 8,700 square feet to 12,700 square feet in size. The property where the subdivision is located is at 340 Grandview Drive and can be described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5AA located in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Documents pertaining to these agenda items are on file for public inspection in the Flathead Regional Development Office, 723 Fifth Avenue East, Room 414, Kalispell, MT 59901, and are available for public review during regular office hours. Interested persons are encouraged to attend the hearings and make their views and concerns known to the Board.

However, we do have a problem at Edgerton School, and there has been some discussion about changing elementary school boundaries. At this time, the proposed subdivision is in the Edgerton attendance area, and busing is provided. If district boundaries are changed, it would probably be in the Russell attendance area, and busing may or may not be available.

This way everyone could be kept up to date on the prog- ress of pending issues. It was also suggested that a status report be included in the outgoing agenda. Dick also suggested that when ever possible, have the applicant present to explain unan- swered questions. The committee voted in favor of the proposal. pm cc:10/ police Craig fire FRDO parks P1 pub wks Danyl LINDSAY ZONE A request by Walle and Mary Lou Lindsay for a zone change from CHANGE RA-1 to B-3 on approximately 0.79 of an acre on the west side of North Meridian Road and north of Two Mile Drive approximately 150 feet. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation of staff report KZC-99-2 in which staff recommends that the board forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council that the requested zone change from RA-1 to B-3 be granted. She stated that the neighborhood plan designates this as commercial property and this zoning would be consistent with the area. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS Walle Lindsay, the applicant, spoke in favor of the petition stating that it would be a negative to keep the property RA-1 as the traffic in the area would be dangerous for families with children. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION There was no board discussion on this petition. MOTION Stevens moved and Hines seconded to adopt staff report KZC-99-2 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the subject property be rezoned from RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment, to B-3, Community Business. On a roll call vote all members present voted Aye. The motion to recommend the zone change passed unanimously. PETERS PRELIMINARY A request by Robert Peters for preliminary plat approval of a 10 lot PLAT residential subdivision on approximately 2.88 acres located west of Grandview Drive and south of Commons Way in the north part of Kalispell zoned RA-1. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation of staff report KPP-99-2 in which staff recommends that the board forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat be approved subject to 14 conditions. She noted that this subdivision would be consistent with what is in the area, adding that Grandview Drive is designated as a collector street in the master plan and would handle the increased traffic from this subdivision. She stated that the developer is proposing cash -in -lieu of parkland. She explained that the master plan designates this property as high density residential and this subdivision meets the master plan designation. She stated that staff would recommend that condition #2 be amended to add sidewalks along Grandview Drive. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS Jeff Larsen, project engineer, spoke in favor of the petition and noted that the cash -in -lieu of parkland amount, based on the County Assessor's Office, is high and the applicants will probably Kalispell City County Planning Board Minutes of meeting June 8, 1999 Page 4 of 12 take the option of an independent appraisal for the determination of value. They ask that the sidewalk not be required on Grandview as it would not be consistent with the area. Milt Carlson, 375 Grandview Drive, spoke in favor of the petition, stating that he lives directly across from the subject property, and that he would like to see the storm water contained within the subject property, and that he would be concerned that anything more dense than this proposal would not be safe in the area. He noted that this plan is a good design and he is in support of the petition. B. J. Carlson, 375 Grandview Drive, spoke in favor of the petition, noting that there may be future problems with the traffic in the area, and she noted that increased signing may be needed in the future. No one Plse wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Stevens asked if when the Kalispell Public Works Department assesses drainage requirements do they look at public comment or how do they make their determination. Wilson answered that there is a formula for flow calculations for drainage off the property and a determination of what the current runoff is and what would be generated after development. There is also a requirement that no more storm water run off be allowed than that which exists before development. Stevens noted that if this subdivision were required to have sidewalks it would be the only place in the area that would have them. Lloyd Dempsey, 145 Ridgeview Drive, stated that he has an acre in the area and noted that the area is not consistent with high density residential, and stated that this town has many homes for sale so more homes are not needed, noting that there are 14 homes for sale in the community for $100,000 or less. He stated that the residents of Kalispell should not have to pay for people coming in from out of state and our own should be considered, we don't owe out of state people anything and there should not be any further subdivisions. We should try to live with what we have. Stevens noted that the applicants have determined a use for their property that enhances their welfare they should be able to do such with their property in consistence with the planning of the area. Johnson noted that sidewalks on Grandview Drive would not be consistent with the area. Garberg asked if there could be a better access than Grandview Kalispell City County Planning Board Minutes of meeting June 8, 1999 Page 5 of 12 �Y t$I±t6rA01 VULVU '. MZONING and could the approach be made wider or something that would alleviate a potential bottleneck or traffic hazard? Larsen noted that he believed that the 24 foot wide road and the 35 foot approach that are in the plans should be adequate and he does not see a better way for the approach. Johnson noted that a motion to accept the report as written would exclude sidewalks from Grandview Drive. Stevens moved and Rice seconded to adopt staff report KPP-99-2 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat for the Ranchview Subdivision be granted subject to the following amended condition: #8 provided aleng— the —eastem property beundar-y between the subdivision and Grandview Drive. On a roll call vote all members present voted Aye. The motion to recommend approval of the Ranchview Subdivision subject to the amended conditions passed unanimously. A request by George Schulze, aka Kai -Mont Dairy Farm, for annexation and initial zoning of B-1 on approximately 5.536 acres on the northeast corner of Whitefish Stage Road and West Evergreen Drive. Sipe removed himself from the board for this petition due to a personal interest in the outcome. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson gave a presentation on staff report KA-99-5 in which staff recommends that the board forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council that the initial zoning for this property should be B-1, Neighborhood Buffer District, upon annexation. Wilson noted that in addition to the request for annexation and initial zoning, the property owner has filed for approval of a 5 lot subdivision on this property which will be forwarded to the Kalispell City Council for consideration at the same time as the annexation and initial zoning. Because this is a minor subdivision, 5 or fewer lots, it does not go before the planning board. She stated that Sands Surveying has a corrected legal description, which she did not have available for the board but will be forwarded on to the city council before they take action on the boards recommendation. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS George Schulze, 1377 Whitefish Stage, spoke in favor of the petition and noted that the sewer district had already been petitioned and a favorable vote had been received to include this property within the district. OPPONENTS Karen Holmquist, 55 West Evergreen Drive, asked if this would change the requirements to her property such as a requirement to Kalispell City County Planning Board Minutes of meeting June 8, 1999 Page 6 of 12 aNaro�s�+e aa»ro�� .
