Stratford Village, Phase 4 - Preliminary Plat Approval
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2004
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Jackola Engineering on behalf of their clients,
Apex Development, for preliminary plat approval of Stratford Village, Phase 4, a 23 lot
residential subdivision on approximately 3.369 acres in southwest Kalispell. The
property is located on the west end of Bluestone Drive. The property would be
developed with 20 townhouse lots and three single-family lots. The staff
recommended approval of the subdivision subject to the listed conditions.
The Kalispell City Planning Board held a public hearing on May 11, 2004 to consider
the proposal. At the public hearing, Angie and Lila Kruckenberg spoke in opposition
to the subdivision stating they did not believe this type of housing was appropriate to
the area and because it would generate additional traffic along Sunnyside Drive which
had already been significantly impacted by the increasing development in the area.
The planning board discussed the request and issues related to the transitional
nature of the area. They felt this development was consistent with other development
in the area and in an appropriate location. A motion was made and passed on a
unanimous vote to forward a recommendation that the Kalispell City Council approve
the preliminary plat subject to the recommended conditions, attached as Exhibit A.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the preliminary plat subject to the
recommended conditions would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council.

STAFF REPORT .. ,
MAY 4, 00'
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a
request for preliminary plat approval of a 23 lot residential subdivision. A public
hearing on this proposal has been scheduled before the planning board for May 11,
2004 in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a
recommendation to the city council for final action.

B. Nature of Application: This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a 23 lot
residential subdivision on approximately 3.37 acres in southwest Kalispell. As
proposed there would be 20 townhouse lots and three single family lots. The
property is zoned R-4, Two Family Residential, which lists duplexes and single
family dwellings as permitted uses in the district. This subdivision is the final
phase of the Stratford Village Subdivision which has final platted approximately
100 lots over the last three years. This subdivision would be developed in a
single phase and is located at the northwest corner of the Stratford Village
Subdivision Development.
C. Location: The property proposed for subdivision lies west of South Meadows
and Ashley Park subdivisions, south of Lone Pine View Estates subdivision and
east of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way in the southwest part of
Kalispell. it lies at the current terminus of Bluestone. The property can be
described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 6L located in Section 19, Township
28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
D. Size:
Total Area: 3.369 acres
Total Lot Area in Lots: 2.675 acres
Area in Roads: 0.694 acres
Minimum Lot Size: 3,465 square feet
Maximum "Lot Size: 13,763 square feet
E. Existing Land Use: This property is currently in grasslands and is otherwise
undeveloped.
F. Adjacent Land Uses: Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The area is
characterized by single-family and duplex residential development on lots in the
area to the east, single family homes to the north and large tract residential
properties to the west of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks.
North: Sunnyside Subdivision and Lone Pine View Estates; City R-4
zoning
East: Residences (duplexes and SFR); City R-4 zoning.
South: Stratford Village Phase 3, railroad tracts and undeveloped; City R-4
and County R-1 zoning.
West: Large tract SFR; County SAG-10 and R-1 zoning.
G. Zoning: This property was zoned R-4, Two Family Residential upon annexation
to the city several years ago with the preliminary plat for Stratford Village
Subdivision. R-4 is a Two Family Residential zoning district, which has a
minimum lot width of 50 feet and a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000
square feet. The district allows duplexes and single family homes. All of the lots
in the subdivision comply with the minimum lot size requirements of the zoning
district. Most of the lots are slightly over 6,000 square feet in size. Some of the
lots located on a corner may have building limitations because of the setbacks
required for the building. Setbacks in the R-4 zoning district are 15 feet in the
front and on a side corner, ten feet in the rear and five feet on the sides. This
would necessarily create a small building envelope and thereby limit the homes
within these lots to a modest footprint. Lots located on the corner should have a
building footprint delineated on the final plat within the required setbacks.
H. Utilities: Upon annexation into the city, this property would be eligible to
receive full City services to the subdivision.

This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with statutory
criteria and the Flathead County Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Firs: This subdivision is in the service area of the Kalispell Fire Department.
As a result of the first phase of this subdivision, an access between the South
Meadows / Ashley Park subdivisions to the south and Sunnyside Drive to the
north has been accomplished. Those would be Bluestone and Denver Avenue
in the north part of the subdivision and Teal Drive to the south. Bluestone and
Denver Avenue will be completed as part of Phase I. The road leading to Teal
Drive will end in a cul-de-sac until such time as the property adjoining it to the
west, which is part of Ashley Park subdivision, is developed. When this phase
is developed Teal Drive will also provide , an east / west and north / south
connection in the area. Homes in the subdivision will be constructed in
accordance with the Uniform Fire Code and inspected by the Kalispell Building
Department. All of the lots will abut a City street. There are no topographical
features associated with the property which would put it at risk. Hydrants will
be required to be placed in compliance with the requirements of the Uniform
Fire Code and 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 problems that have developed in the past with combustible
construction taking place prior to adequate fire access to the site being
developed.
Eloodin : According to FIRM Panel #1805D dated 9/30/92 the site is located
entirely in Zone C which is not a flood prone area and no special permits are
required for development.
Access: Primary access to the site will be from the west from Bluestone which
was extended as part of Phase I of Stratford Village. Access to Denver Avenue
will be gained primarily from Bluestone. Secondary access can be obtained
through South Meadows over to Airport Road or eventually to the southeast an
extension of Teal Drive when it is developed. Teal Drive is part of Ashley Park
subdivision. This small subdivision will end in a short cul-de-sac that will
provide access to each of the lots. Access to the subdivision is good.
The Kalispell Bypass will be located within the Burlington Northern right-of-
way immediately adjoining this subdivision to the west. This will be a limited
access roadway and the access nearest this subdivision will be located to the
north on Sunnyside Drive. There is currently limited use of this segment of
tracks. The train runs twice a day, once down to Ball Crossing and once back.
MDOT has completed their negotiations with Burlington Northern for the
acquisition of the section of tracts between Foys Lake Road and Ball Crossing,
which would eliminate train traffic next to the subdivision.
3
B. Effects on 'Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: This property is generally
grasslands that were probably used for pasture in the past but it does not
appear to 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.
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. Ashley Creek lies to the north but no potential
impacts to the creek would be expected from this development because of its
distance from the site.
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. The creation of the cul-de-sac serving this subdivision takes part of
the previously approved drainage area for phases one through three of
Stratford Village Subdivision and the developer will need to demonstrate that
there is still adequate capacity within the storm water retention area to
accommodate the subdivision as a whole. An engineered drainage plan will be
required to be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works
Department as part of their infrastructure.
D. Effects on Local Services:
Water: Water service is proposed to be provided by the City of Kalispell.
Currently a water main lies to the east of this subdivision within the right of
way of Teal Drive and will be extended to the west to serve this subdivision.
The water mains within Stratford Village have been connected and provide a
loop for the water system between Ashley Park Subdivision and Lone Pine
Subdivision, which will provide improved flows to the fire hydrant system in the
area. Fire hydrants and fire flows will be in accordance with the Uniform Fire
Code. The water system for the subdivision will be reviewed and approved by
the Kalispell Public Works Department as part of the development of the site.
Sewez: Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell. A sewer main
can be extended to the subdivision from the west where it lies in the right of
way of Teal Drive. 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. The 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 230 additional vehicle trips per day based on the estimate of 10
vehicle trips per residence per day in the area. This makes the assumption
that this development will be comprised primarily of duplex townhouses, a
El
permitted use in the R-4 zoning district. The roads within the subdivision will
be constructed to City standards and would include curb, gutter, sidewalks
and landscape boulevards. Denver Avenue has been extended to the south and
provides the backbone of the road network. Connections between Bluestone
and Teal Drive will be made via existing or proposed rights -of -way. The roads
in Lone Pine View Estates have been constructed in accordance with current
City standards. The roads in South Meadows do not have curb and gutter or
sidewalks. However, the Bluestone extension within that is part of this
subdivision has been constructed to City standards. Existing roads in Ashley
Park subdivision have been constructed to City standards and the Teal Drive
extension connecting to the roads in this subdivision will also be constructed
to City standards. Roads in the area appear to be adequate to accommodate the
additional traffic generated by this subdivision.
Schools: This development is within the boundaries of School District #5,
Kalispell, and Peterson School would serve the primary grades. No response
from the school district had been received at the writing of the staff report. It
can be anticipated that approximately 10 additional school age children will be
generated from this subdivision at full build out. This would have an
insignificant impact on the district. The district has consistently responded
that they will be able to accommodate additional children in the district.
Parks and O Pp, n Space: The state and local subdivision regulations have
parkland dedication requirements or cash in lieu of parkland dedication in the
amount of one ninth or 11 percent of the area devoted to lots in major
subdivision with lots of one half acres or less. The value of the unimproved
property was stated to be $ 12,070 per acre. The area devoted to lots is 2.675.
Based upon these figures the cash in lieu of parkland dedication would be
$3,552.
Open space and parkland areas noted on the plat do not serve a recreational
function for the subdivision. The strip of open space area along the Burlington
Northern Railroad tracks serves as a stormwater retention area and will provide
a buffer between this subdivision and the Kalispell Bypass right-of-way
intended to be located within the railroad right -of -quay. This buffer area
becomes important for future protection of the residents within the subdivision
when the Bypass is finally constructed.
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 subdivision.
F. ir Pr . o .tion: Fire protection would be provided by the Kalispell Fire
Department. Although fire risk is low because of good access, the fire
department is recommending that access to the subdivision and the hydrants
be in place prior to final plat approval.
Solid Waste: Solid waste will be handled by a private hauler since it has not
been five years since this property was annexed. Solid waste will be taken to
5
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
three miles from the site.
E. Effects on Agriculture and Agricultural Water User Facilities: The site has
been traditionally used for agricultural purposes, primarily pastureland it
appears. Its location within the planning jurisdiction and its proximity to
urban services makes this property ripe for the type of development being
proposed. There will be relatively no 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 Kalispell Growth Policy: This property is the City limits and within
Kalispell's planning jurisdiction. The Kalispell Growth Policy for this area
anticipates Urban Residential development, which anticipates a mix of primarily
single family and duplex dwellings with a density of three to eight dwelling units
per acre. In this subdivision 23 units are being proposed on 3.369 acres for a
density of 6.8 dwelling units per acre. The density for the subdivision is in
compliance with the anticipated density for this area.
G. Compliance with Zoning: The R-4 district requires a minimum of 6,000
square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet. All of, the lots within the
subdivision comply with the proposed zoning.
H. Compliance with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations: This subdivision
complies with the State and local subdivision regulations and no variances
have been requested.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board adopt staff report
#KPP-04-6 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
