REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT Raven Rock Subdivision Preliminary Plat
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2003
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Tim Birk for preliminary plat approval of a 37-lot
residential subdivision on approximately 8.01 acres located on the north side of Three
Mile Drive east of Stillwater Road and west of North Meridian Road approximately one
half mile. A petition for annexation and an initial zoning assignment of R-3, Urban
Residential, on approximately six acres and RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment,
on approximately two acres has been filed concurrently with the preliminary plat
application.
There are issues related to the two access onto North Riding Road which has the
potential to be a collector street and the accesses need to be consolidated into a single
access that will align with the proposed roadway to the west in Phase 3 of Northview
Heights subdivision. A secondary emergency access will, be required because of the
loop roadway which can be accomplished in different ways. The most likely
emergency access would be from Three Mile Drive and it could be developed so that it
can be used for pedestrian access as well. The staff recommended approval of the
preliminary plat subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report.
A public hearing was held before the Kalispell City Planning Board at a meeting of
July 8, 2003 regarding this matter. At the public hearing the applicant stated that he
thought this project could serve as infill considering the relatively small size of the
parcel, other development in the area and the availability of City utilities. . There
were no other comments from the public.
After the public hearing the board discussed the proposal and redesign of the
subdivision with the single access onto North Riding Road and the coordination of the
secondary access which the fire department. They noted that this project complies
with the Kalispell Growth Policy recently drafted by the planning board and adopted
by the Kalispell City Council. The planning board is unanimously recommending
approval of the subdivision subject to the recommended conditions.

A request by Tim Birk for preliminary plat approval of a 37-

lot residential subdivision on approximately eight acres. A
request for annexation and initial zoning of R-3 and RA-1
has been filed concurrently.
STAFF REPORT
Narda Wilson, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a
# -03-13 AND P-03-8
presentation of staff report KA-03-13, a request for initial
zoning upon annexation of approximately 8 acres located at
the northeast corner of Three Mile Drive and one-half mile
west of North Meridian Road. Wilson also gave a
presentation of staff report KPP-03-8, a request for
preliminary plat approval of a 37-lot residential subdivision
that was filed concurrently with the annexation and initial
zoning request.
Wilson stated there has been quite a lot of activity in the
area, and this property is located on the north side of Three
Mile Drive, one half mile east of Stillwater Drive. She said the
property is currently zoned County SAG-10, and the total
area proposed for proposed for development is about eight
acres. Wilson noted that the property is currently in the
County zoning jurisdiction and is in West Wide Zoning
District and is part of the West Valley Overlay District, which
has a density of one dwelling per five acres. The applicant is
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of July 8, 2003

proposing annexing for to the city to obtain water and sewer
services and is requesting a zoning designation of R-3, a
single family district on approximately two-thirds of the
property to the north and RA-1, Low Density Apartment, on
the southern one third.
Wilson stated that the existing land uses in the area are
urban single family residential homes to the north,
Northview Heights, which was recently annexed and Phase 1
is under construction. She said that the area has been
planned and platted for the same type of urban residential
development. To the east, there are urban sized lots where
utilities available, and to the south there are some fairly
large parcels in the county. She stated the area is in
transition, from agricultural to urban uses.
Wilson commented that the master plan designates this area
as Urban Residential, with three to 12 dwelling units per
acre. This development has a density of five to six dwelling
units per acre on the R-3 area, and 14 dwelling units in the
RA-1 area. She said the overall maximum density would be
eight dwellings per acre, well within the Urban Residential
designation of the growth policy and that the proposed
zoning would be consistent with the type of growth
anticipated for the area.
Wilson noted on the subdivision lies on the east side of
recently extended North Riding Road. There are a total of 37
lots being platted, 27 of which are being zoned R-3, and 10
lots designated as RA-1. She noted the R-3 district has a
minimum lot size requirement of R-1 and the RA-1 zone has
a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, plus 3,000 square
feet for each additional unit beyond duplex. Any multi-
family development would require a conditional use permit.
The existing single family residence would likely be relocated.
Wilson stated that the applicant indicated the area proposed
for RA-1 would be developed as duplexes, but that was an
error and that they can either developed as single family
residences, duplexes, or, if someone were to buy multiple
lots, they could do a multi -family development with a
conditional use permit. She said the applicant would like to
keep the option open for a small multi -family development
along the southern boundary. She stated that a minor
changes need to be made to a few lots for zoning compliance
that deal with lot with and would require a little rearranging.
Wilson stated that during site review, the public works
department felt that North Riding Road should be designated
as a collector road due to development potential to the north.
The Kalispell Design and Construction Standards require a
300 foot offset for a collector roadway for a new accesses.
Therefore the two accesses need to be consolidated into one
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of July 8, 2003
Page 2 of 12
access and that has been included as one of the conditions.
The subdivision design will need to be modified slightly to
accommodate this change. She noted the property to the
west has been approved for Phase 3 of Northview Heights
and has a subdivision road that is currently undeveloped.
The two roads will align with the new reconfiguration and
create a four way intersection, but probably not a four way
stop. Wilson said the single access triggers a requirement for
secondary access for the fire department which would likely
come off of Three Mile Drive although there are a couple of
options to create a secondary access.
The developer could use "grass crete", which is a compacted,
subsurface material that grass would grow on, but that fire
trucks could drive across year round without sinking. The
secondary access would be gated or have bollards in place
and used for emergency access only. The secondary access
could be used by pedestrians to access Three Mile Drive and
the bike and pedestrian trail. Wilson stated that with these
are noted as conditions of approval and the fire access can
be coordinated with the fire department.
Wilson noted that consistent with other subdivisions in the
area, staff is recommending that bike and pedestrian access
along Three Mile within the 20 foot buffer be installed prior
to final plat approval. She said the property has some
moderate slopes, but no risk to environment and no
development constraints. Water and sewer would be
extended from Riding Road to the west and looped through
the subdivision, and that all lots would be served by City
water and sewer.
Wilson said as for the parkland dedication, the developer
wants to pay cash in lieu of parkland. She stated the area is
6.37 acres in lots which would be 0.7 acres of parkland
dedication, or $12,600 cash in lieu. Wilson noted that there
are two city parks fairly close by, with Sunset Park to the
east, and Empire Estates to the west will have an
approximately two acre park, and the City ball fields are to
the north. She said that the police and fire impacts are
moderate, but that cumulative impacts of growth affect both
departments.
Wilson reiterated that modifications need to be made to the
lots in order to comply with zoning. She stated that the lots
were sort of staggered in order to provide some creativity, but
the lots need to meet the minimum lot width requirements of
60 feet. She said that there are no variances and that it does
comply with zoning and subdivision standards She said that
staff is making two recommendations on the proposal: initial
zoning of R-3 and RA-1, and approve the preliminary plat
subject to the listed conditions..

PUBLIC BEARING
The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak
on the issue.
PLICANT/AGENCIES
Tim Birk, 880 Farm Road, applicant and owner of the
property, said he did a new loop design. He stated that it is j
an infill project on a gently sloping site, located within 500 j
feet of the proposed Kalispell Bypass The RA-1 section will
front Three Mile Drive as a buffer area to the single family
residences. Birk handed out a potential redesign on the plat
that showed a single access from North Riding Road.
PUBLIC COMMENT
There were no comments from the public either in favor or in
opposition to the proposal.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was
closed.
MOTION (INITIAL ZONING)
Atkinson moved and Anderson seconded to adopt staff report
KA-03-13 as findings of fact and, based on these findings,
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the initial
zoning for this property should be R-3, Urban Residential,
and RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment, upon
annexation to the City of Kalispell as indicated on the
attached exhibit.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Atkinson asked about parks. He stated that there is a lot of
cash in lieu of parks and that he understands both sides of
the issue, that cash in lieu takes care of the existing parks.
He stated that he understands that smaller parks are not
that desirable, because the Parks Department has to take
care of them. He asked if there was a formula for parks.
Wilson answered that there is specific criteria for City parks.
They have to be a minimum of one acre in size and then
other parks in the area have bearing on whether or not a new
park is appropriate. She stated that there is specific
language in state statutes that speaks to the stated
preference of the developer and that consideration has to be
given to their preference. In this case the subdivision would
need to be bigger in order to make a park work.
Hull wanted to clarify the area next to Three Mile Drive will
be RA-1 and Wilson answered it would be about a 200 foot
lot depth, and that the lot boundaries will follow that.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
MOTION
Anderson moved and Johnson seconded to adopt staff report
KPP-03-8 as findings of fact and recommend approval of
Raven Rock Subdivision preliminary plat subject to the
conditions outlined in the staff report.

BOARD DISCUSSION Norton questioned whether or not the board should be voting
on the preliminary plat until there is a more finalized version
of the plat with the required revisions.
Wilson said that there are typically minor revisions to a plat,
but that the board will not likely see a whole lot of difference
overall. She indicated the roadways would be consolidated,
but that the basic configuration would remain the same. She
stated that the developer will have to redesign subdivision
within the constraints that are outlined. She stated that the
plats go through a design review phase before the final plat is
submitted that this often times will result in minor
modifications to the original design.
Atkinson stated that he likes a gridded road system, and that
this development does not have one. He said that it might
have been a good idea to have a lot be set aside for an
easement for a road headed east, because we don't know
what is going to happen to that next property. He stated that
subdivisions are choosing not to be involved with one
another and that every time we can, we should look at a
gridded system so they can connect with one another.
Taylor noted that because the preliminary plat approval is
valid for three years, isn't it possible that the property to the
east could come before the board, and couldn't one of the
phases of this project be altered somehow to adopt a grid
system?
Wilson answered that the developers could do it independent
of the conditions of approval, but the statutes specifically say
that subsequent conditions cannot be placed on a plat after
approval by the governing body.
There was discussion regarding the grid system and
interconnected subdivisions.
ROLL CALL I The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a
request for preliminary plat approval of a 37 lot residential subdivision on property
proposed concurrent annexation and initial zoning. A public hearing on this proposal
has been scheduled before the planning board for July 8, 2003 in the Kalispell City
Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the city
council for final action.
BACKGROUND: A petition to annex and request for initial zoning of R-3, an Urban
Residential zoning designation on six acres, and RA-1, a Low Density Residential
Apartment zoning designation on two acres has been filed concurrently with this
preliminary plat. The property contains approximately 8.01 acres and is located on the
northeast corner of Three Mile Drive and North Riding Road.

B. Nature of Application: This is a request for preliminary plat • approval of a 37 lot
residential subdivision on approximately eight acres in the northwest part of
Kalispell. This property is being proposed for annexation into the city of Kalispell
concurrently with the preliminary plat and given a zoning designation of R-3, an
Urban Residential zoning designation that is intended primarily for single-family
homes and has a minimum . lot size requirement of 7,000 square feet on
approximately six acres. On approximately two acres a zoning designation of RA-1, a
Low Density Residential Apartment zoning district has been proposed. The RA-1
district allows single-family homes and duplexes as permitted uses and multi -family
dwellings as conditionally permitted uses. This zoning district has a minimum lot
size requirement of 6,000 square feet for the first duplex plus an additional 3,000
square feet for each unit beyond a duplex.
1
The subdivision would be developed utilizing water and sewer extensions to the
north. There are two accesses indicated on North Riding Road, creating a looped
roadway within the subdivision. The area proposed for the RA-1 zoning have
generally 6,000 square foot lots which would accommodate a duplex as a permitted
use. The only way additional dwellings could be placed on the property to create a
multi -family development would be if two or more lots were aggregated and a
conditional use permit were granted. The developer has proposed paying cash in lieu
of parkland dedication.
C. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for
subdivision lies at the northeast corner of Three Mile Drive and North Riding Road
approximately one-half mile from North Meridian Road. The property can be
described as Assessor's Tract 6A in Section 1, Township 28 North, Range 22 West,

COMMENTS FROM THE SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTR
This matter came before the site development review committee on June 19, 2003 and
July 26, 2003. At those meetings, there were some concerns about the two accesses
proposed onto North Riding Road and the lack of alignment to the proposed subdivision
road to the west. The public works department considers North Riding Road to be a
collector and therefore requires an offset of 300 feet or alignment with the roadway. The
fire department has concerns about a single access rather than two accesses. The
public works department and fire department will work with the developer regarding the
roadway location to insure that their concerns are met and that the subdivision complies
with City standards. There was some concern regarding the configuration of the lots and
compliance with minimum lot width requirements of zoning. These issues would be
addressed as conditions of approval for the subdivision. There was discussion regarding
the park monies and the fact that there is an undeveloped City park to the east that
could be developed.
REVIEW AND FTNDTNGS OF FACT
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with statutory criteria
and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Eim: This subdivision would be in the service area of the Kalispell Fire
Department. The property can be considered to be at 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
3
place prior to adequate fire access to the site being developed. There was some
concern by the fire department and public works department that the waterline
may need to be looped in order to gain adequate water pressure to meet the
needed fire flows for the hydrants. With the reconfiguration of the roadway design
consolidating two accesses into one access along North Riding Road, it
necessitates a provision for secondary access from the subdivision. Secondary
access can be achieved from several points, but the most likely location would be
off of Three Mile Drive. The access would require approval from the Montana
Department of Transportation and would be gated and used for emergency access
only.
Flooding: According to FIRM Panel # 1805D dated 9 / 30 / 92 there are no areas of
the 100-year floodplain within the site and no other obvious constraints on the
property that would lead to a flood -prone situation.
Access: Access to the subdivision would be from a new internal roadway that will
access onto North Riding Road. This road is indicated as a looped roadway with
two accesses onto North Riding Road. An undeveloped subdivision lies
immediately to the west of this property which has a roadway access onto North
Riding Road about midway in the property. The public works department
anticipates that North Riding Road will develop into a collector street at some
point in the future as additional urban development expands to the north. With
this designation as a collector street, a 300 foot off -set requirement for the
roadway between existing roads will be necessary. Therefore, in order to meet
this requirement, a single access into the subdivision will need to be made,
thereby consolidating the proposed two accesses into one access that aligns with
the proposed undeveloped roadway to the west.
With the consolidation of the two accesses into a single access, a secondary
emergency access will need to be provided as part of compliance with the Uniform
Fire Code. The location of the secondary emergency access will needed to be
reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Fire Marshal and constructed prior to the
development of 20 homes or more. This secondary emergency access can be
provided from Three Mile Drive, North Riding Road or through private property.
Any of these accesses will require approval from the appropriate party, i.e.
Montana Department of Transportation for the Three Mile Drive access, City of
Kalispell for access onto North Riding Road or an easement from private property
owners granting an emergency access easement. Roads that are part of the fire
access and suppression system within the subdivision should be completed prior
to final plat submittal so that the fire department can have access to the homes
under construction within the subdivision.
There is lack of pedestrian access along Three Mile Drive which should be
addressed even on an incremental basis. Staff would recommend that a
pedestrian access along this roadway be coordinated with the public works
department, parks and recreation department and the Montana Department of
Transportation. A 20-foot landscape buffer is indicated on the preliminary plat
which should be used to incorporate a bike and pedestrian trail as well as
buffering in the form of a berming or landscaping or both.
EI
E. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: This property is generally level with a
gentle slope and was used for agricultural purposes. There may be some
migratory birds and occasional deer may visit the site, however, this area does not
provide significant habitat for wildlife.
C. 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. There is no floodplain in the area or on the property. The
Spring Creek drainage lies to the west and to the south, but is not in close
proximity to this property.
Drain 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 stormwater management
plan. The drainage plan will have to comply with the City of Kalispell's standards
and State standards and will be required to be designed by a professional
engineer.
D. Effects on Local Services:
Water: Water service to the subdivision would be provided by the City of Kalispell
and extended from a water main that lies to the west of this subdivision along
North Riding Road. The water main would be extended from its current location
within the public right-of-way to the west and will not require any easements
through private property. The water main would be extended through the
subdivision. It is uncertain at this juncture when the water loop connection for
the subdivision may be required since it will depend on the fire flows that can be
obtained and whether they will meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code
and whether or not the subdivision is phases. Most likely the water system will
be completed prior to final plat submittal. The water system for the subdivision
will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department and the
Kalispell Fire Department as part of the development of the subdivision. There is
adequate capacity within the City's water system to accommodate this
development.
Sew " : Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell with an extension of
existing sewer mains from their existing location within North Riding Road right-
of-way. No easements for the sewer would need to be acquired from private
property owners. Design and construction of the mains will be reviewed and
approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. There is adequate capacity
within the sewage treatment plan to accommodate this development.
god: Traffic projections for this subdivision are estimated to be approximately
370 additional vehicle trips per day based on the estimate of 10 vehicle trips per
residence per day in the area onto Three Mile Drive. The subdivision roads will be
constructed to City standards and would include curb, gutter, sidewalks and
5
landscape boulevards within the subdivision. The internal subdivision road will
access onto North Riding, a new City street that will be constructed to City
standards. A secondary access will be designated as part of the review process
with it likely to be located along Three Mile Drive and for emergency ingress and
egress only. Impacts to Three Mile Drive as far as traffic is concerned, would be
contained at the intersection of Three Mile Drive and North Riding Road. Once
the roads have been constructed and accepted by the City of Kalispell, they will be
dedicated to the City and maintained.
There will be some moderate impacts to Three Mile Drive as a result of this
subdivision and North Riding Road to the west. Three Mile Drive is a paved, two
lane State secondary roadway that is in fair condition. In 1997 the daily average
vehicle trips east of Stillwater Road was 3,064. There will be a moderate increase
in traffic on Three Mile Drive with the commensurate impacts. At some point,
consideration will need to be given to the upgrading and widening of Three Mile
Drive as development continues to occur in the area. Typically this would be the
responsibility of the State with regard to design, funding and construction. Three
Mile Drive in this area is over 100 feet in width and would not require the
reservation of any additional right-of-way for fixture expansion.
Schools: This development is within the boundaries of the Kalispell School
District #S. The school district could anticipate that an additional 20 school aged
children might be generated into the district at full built out. This number is
used because it takes into account pre-school aged children, home school
education options and private school education option. Not all of the children
who live in the subdivision will be attending public schools. This would have a
potentially significant impact on the district, particularly on a cumulative level
with other developments pending within the district - both urban and rural
particularly with high school -aged students.
Parks, and nnPn S:pace: The state and local subdivision regulations have parkland
/ open space requirements for major subdivisions in the amount of 11 percent or
one -ninth of the area proposed for the development. The environmental
assessment states that the developer would like to pay cash in lieu of parkland
dedication to satisfy this requirement based on the purchase price of the property
of $18,000 per acre. With approximately 6.37 acres of the property in lots, 11
percent for parkland requirements would be 0.70 acres. This calculates to
$12,600 for cash in lieu of parkland dedication.
There is an undeveloped City park that lies almost directly to the east of this site,
Sunset Park. These funds can be used in all or in part for the development of
amenities to this park area.
Polite_.: 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
departments ability to continue to provide the high level of service the department
is committed to.
X
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 secondary
access to the site, the number and location of hydrants within the subdivision as
well as fire flows for compliance with applicable fire codes. 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 are in place prior
to final plat approval and / or use of combustible materials in construction.
Solid Waste: Solid waste will be handled 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, less than two miles
from the site.
E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural water user facilities: The site has been
traditionally used for very limited agricultural purposes and 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.
F. Relation to the Kalispell Growth Policy: This property is in the Kalispell
Growth Policy's potential utility service area and is anticipated for this type of
urban scale development at the time of connection to City utilities. The future
land use map for the area indicates this area is anticipated to be developed as
Urban Residential. Areas designated as Urban Residential are anticipated to be
served by community water and sewer and have good access to services and
public facilities. This land use designation anticipates a density of two to 12
dwelling units per acre and the requested R-3 and RA-1 zoning for the site has an
overall maximum density of approximately eight dwelling units per acre. This
subdivision is in compliance with the Kalispell Growth Policy and its goals and
policies.
G. Compliance with Zoning: This property has been proposed to be zoned R-3, an
Urban Residential district that is intended for single-family residential
development and has a minimum lot size requirement of 7,000 square feet and a
minimum lot width of 60 feet and RA-1, a Low Density Residential Apartment
district that has a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet and a
minimum lot width of 60 feet. It appears that some of the lots may not meet the
minimum lot width requirements by a slim margin. However, with some slight
modifications to the location of the property boundaries all of the lots within the
subdivision will be able to comply with the minimum lot size and minimum lot
width requirements of the zoning.
7
H. Compliance with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations: This subdivision
complies with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations and no variances have been
requested.

Cascade Professional Park— Discussion of right-of-way improvement issues related
to subdivision by Crop Hail (previously discussed Dec. 1, 2002 by Site Review, Jan.
2 by Planning Board, and subsequently by the Council) —Tried to get a 20 ft strip
from Jim Thompson to widen road, but it didn't work out (offered the whole piece).
TIF money might be available to construct Financial Drive depending upon how it is
set up (financing is not under site review process). They would prefer a bike path
and 24 foot roadway. City would want a 24 foot roadway with attached sidewalks if
the 40 foot right-of-way is used. The Police have a safety issue with the road being
private and would prefer it to be public. Meets the public interest to have the road
made public pursuant to standards applicable to a 40 ft right-of-way. Needs to get the
subdivision agreement done and get it scheduled for the Council.
Tamarack Center — 15,000 square foot office building — Plan to do the shell. The
type of construction has been changed to give adequate fire flows. Need to have Jim
Stewart check off on the turn around area. The drainage figures have not yet been
provided to Public Works; They will contact Carver on the drainage issue. Hold for
next week.
Rising Sun Espresso — Appleway/Highway 2 — Spoke with MDOT with access off
of the Highway or Appleway as option #2. Developers were concerned with the
topography off of Appleway. The preferred access (for MDOT and the City) is the
Appleway entrance. Steve Herzog suggested they put in a joint access with the
property next to them. Dick wants some type of traffic study done on this area. We
could ask them what their anticipated volume will be and hours of operation. P. J.
will talk to them about the joint access.
Planning Board Agenda
--Raven Rock Subdivision (Three Mile Drive) —Public Works indicates that
North Riding Road is a collector. There are some issues with the alignment of the
roads; They may need to come in with a single road. Also possible to have a road
out to the east to create some circulation. Potential approaches were discussed.
Preferred alternative is to create a four-way intersection. Question as to this proposed
single access — would it be an issue for the Fire Department? The requested RA-1
zoning would possibly work better with an R-4 zone since they are staying with
duplexes.
--McKinnon/Santa — community residential facility at 205-51` Avenue East —
Nothing further on this.
--Stroisch — historic building text amendment — Tom will get with P. J. on
this.
NEW BUSINESS:
None.
OTHER DISCUSSION:
Office Building in Buffalo Commons Physical Therapy Office off of Commons
Way. Will be on the agenda next week.
Townhouse development — Proposed development on College Avenue with two
two -unit townhouse structures. One permit has been issued. Discussion re:
driveway/fire hydrant/street sign issues. Tom and P. J. will discuss.
