Tim Birk / Three Mile Subdivision Annexation and Initial Zoning
of R-3 and RA-1
November 3, 2003
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Tim Birk for an initial zoning designation of R-3,
Urban Residential on approximately 7.7 acres and RA-1, Low Density Residential
Apartment, on approximately 1.4 acres. A preliminary plat for 30 single-family lots and 1
multi -family lot has been filed concurrently with the annexation and zoning request. The
property contains approximately 9.1 acres and is located on the north side of Three Mile
Drive approximately 500 feet west of Garland Street.
A public hearing was held before the Kalispell City Planning Board at a meeting of October
14, 2003 regarding this matter. At the public hearing the applicant spoke in favor stating
he agreed with the conditions of the staff report. Three letters were received in opposition
stating concerns with increased traffic and the desire for larger lots more conducive to the
surrounding historical neighborhood. There were no other comments from the public.
After the public hearing the Bard discussed the request. It was pointed out that this
subdivision was in substantial conformance with the two previous subdivisions approved in
this immediate neighborhood this summer and that with the advent of municipal sewer
and water, the entire neighborhood was changing. However, this change was planned and
anticipated in our growth policy. The Board agreed that the proposed zoning was
consistent with the growth policy and other development that has taken place in the area.
A motion was made and passed unanimously to forward a recommendation that initial
zoning for this property should be R-3 and RA-1 as recommended by staff report #KA-03-18
upon annexation.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the first reading of the ordinance for R-3 and RA-
1 zoning upon annexation would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

Re: Three Mile Subdivision Annexation and Initial Zoning of R-3, Urban Residential
and RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on October 14, 2003, and held a public hearing
to consider a request by Tim Birk for an initial zoning designation of R-3, Urban
Residential on approximately 7.7 acres and RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment,
on approximately 1.4 acres. A preliminary plat for 30 single-family lots and 1-multi-
family lot has been filed concurrently with the annexation and zoning request. The
property contains approximately 9.1 acres and is located on the north side of Three
Mile Drive approximately 500 feet west of Garland Street.
Tom Jentz of the Tri-City Planning Office presented staff report #KA-03-18, evaluating
the proposed zoning. Staff recommended initial zoning of City R-3, Urban Residential,
and RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment, based on the surrounding zoning and
the Kalispell Growth Policy.
At the public hearing the applicant spoke in favor stating he agreed with the
conditions of the staff report. Three letters were received in opposition stating
concerns with increased traffic and the desire for larger lots more conducive to the
surrounding historical neighborhood. There were no other comments from the public.
After the public hearing the Board discussed the request. It was pointed out that this
subdivision was in substantial conformance with the two previous subdivisions
approved in this immediate neighborhood this summer and that with the advent of
municipal sewer and water, the entire neighborhood was changing. However, this
change was planned and anticipated in our growth policy. The board agreed that the
proposed zoning was consistent with the growth policy and other development that
has taken place in the area. A motion was made and passed unanimously to forward

the staff upon annexation.

STAFF REPORTS
Tom Jentz, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a
-03-13 AND P-03-12
presentation of staff report KA-03-18, a request for initial
zoning upon annexation of approximately 9.1 acres located
on the north side of Three Mile Drive one-half mile west of
North Meridian Road, and KPP-03-12, a request for
preliminary plat approval of Three Mile Subdivision.
Jentz showed a site map of the proposed subdivision and
stated that the applicants are asking for R-3 and RA-1
zoning. He said that Sunset Court is to the north and a city
park is to the east. In addition several large single family
residences which are in the county and zoned SAG-10 form
the eastern boundary. Wel-Life Assisted Living is to the
south across Three Mile Drive and the recently annexed
Raven Rock subdivision is to the west. He stated that this
development will connect to the Raven Rock subdivision,
with access to North Riding road. Both projects fit very well
together and there will be no access directly onto Three Mile
Drive.
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of October 14, 2003
Page 1 of 12
Jentz stated that the applicants are requesting R-3 zoning on
30 lots, and that these are 7500 square feet or larger. He
stated it is a good design and provides neighborhood
connectivity. The applicant is also requesting 1.4 acres of
RA-1 zoning along Three Mile Drive, as a buffer zone, which
is in character with other subdivisions. He stated that the
applicants can do nothing more than a single duplex if
approved without first applying for a CUP so the city will
have an opportunity to review future development plans on
this site.
Jentz explained that the access out to the west meets with
Raven Rock and will come out on North Riding Road, and
staff is not encouraging direct access onto Three Mile Drive.
Staff felt that Three Mile Drive is an arterial and will continue
to carry large amounts of traffic, and we need to localize the
intersections onto Three Mile Drive. He stated that heavier
traffic is anticipated on Three Mile Drive in the future. Jentz
said that staff is recommending a cul-de-sac at this point,
but that it will be reviewed at the time that the applicant
submits a development plan for the multi -family RA-1 site at
a latter date.
Jentz also explained that the applicant needs to use a corner
of the undeveloped city park for the road alignment off of
Sunset Court to work. He stated that cash -in -lieu will be
used for the development of this city park.
Jentz mentioned that three letters were received from
adjoining property owners, and that their concerns dealt with
the smallness of the lots and the proposal for multi -family
lots. He said that the adjoining lots are large and have been
at the edge of the city for a long time; but that the city is
growing and the growth policy indicates this type of
development in this area. Three Mile Drive will not be a great
single family lot site in the future. Jentz stated that as for
public services, the subdivision works very well and that
sewer will go to the north and south with a looped water
system.
Jentz stated that staff is recommending approval with 12
conditions.
PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak
on the issue.
PLICANT%AGENCIES Tim Birk, applicant, stated that he is excited about the
project and that it ties in well with Raven Rock, and he has
no problem with the conditions imposed. He feels that it is a
good project.

PUBLIC COMMENT
No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION
Anderson moved and Atkinson seconded to adopt staff report
KA-03-18 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 Single Family
Residential, on approximately 7.7 acres and RA-1, Low
Density Residential Apartment on approximately 1.4 acres
upon annexation to the City of Kalispell.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Taylor asked Jentz about the park and whether it was bare
ground.
Jentz said it was undeveloped.
Taylor asked Birk about the compatibility with the junior
high school.
Birk answered they will be fairly low cost homes, good for
first time homebuyers and young families, and feels that the
proximity to the school is a big advantage.
The Board took a few minutes to read the protest letters
which were received at the beginning of the meeting. (Letters
are attached and are hereby made a part of the record).
Taylor commented on the letters which were received and
stated that while he appreciated the neighbors' comments,
he feels that this subdivision does comply with the growth
policy and will not be detrimental to the neighbors.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
MOTION
Atkinson moved and Hinchey seconded to adopt staff report
KPP-03-12 as findings of fact and, based on these findings,
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed
preliminary plat approval for Three Mile Subdivision be
approved subject to the 18 conditions.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Jentz stated for the record that there is a person living on a
life estate where the cul-de-sac may be located, and that
there is a possibility that the road may be pulled back and
negate the need for the temporary cul-de-sac.
There was no further discussion.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

INITIAL ZONING OF AND RA-1 UPON ANNEXATION
OFFICETRI-CITY PLANNING
REPORTSTAFF
OCTOBER 2003
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission and the Kalispell City
Council regarding a request for an initial zoning designation of R-3 and RA-1 upon
annexation to the city of Kalispell on approximately 9.1 acres. A public hearing has been
scheduled before the planning board for October 14, 2003 beginning at 7:00 PM in the
Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the
Kalispell City Council for final action.
This report evaluates the appropriate assignment of a City zoning classification in accordance
with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The petitioner would like to
annex in order to receive City services.
A. Petitioner and Owners: Tim Birk
880 Farm Road
Kalispell, MT 59901
(406) 257-3141
Thomas and Shirley Jones
171 Three Mile Drive
Kalispell, MT 59901
(406) 752-9014
B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for annexation lies on
the north side of Three Mile Drive and west of North Meridian Road approximately one-half
mile. The property proposed for annexation and zoning can be described as Assessor's
Tract 5AA (Tract 1 of COS 9693) located in Section 1, Township 28 North, Range 22 West,
P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
C. Existing Zoning: This property is part of the West Valley Overlay District. This district
acts as an overlay district with its development standards in part of the West Side
Zoning District. The underlying zoning for this property is SAG-10, Suburban
Agricultural, which is an agricultural district with a 10-acre minimum lot size
requirement intended for small-scale agricultural operations and ranchettes. The
overlay standards of the West Valley District allow a density of one dwelling unit per five
acres with clustering of lots which do not exceed one net acre in size and have a
minimum of 76 percent of the property dedicated as permanent open space. The open
space is intended to be preserved for agricultural use and can contain one residence.
Under the current West Valley Overlay development standards this property would be
eligible for two one -acre lots using the cluster provisions.
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposal would designate approximately 7.7 acres as R-3, Single
Family Residential, a single-family residential district and 1.4 acres as RA-1, a Low -
Density Residential Apartment. A preliminary plat for 30 single-family lots and a single
multi -family lot has been filed concurrently with the annexation and zoning request.
#KA-03-18
Page 1 of 6
E. Size: The property proposed for annexation and zoning contains approximately 9.1 acres.
F. Existing Land Use: Currently this property has a single-family home and is being used
for limited agricultural purposes. It is otherwise undeveloped.
G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The area can be described as being located on the
western fringes of Kalispell in an area that is undergoing rapid urbanization within the
past year. To the immediate west, Northview Heights is under construction and Raven
Rock just received preliminary plat approval this summer. To the immediate south
across Three Mile Drive an assisted living complex for elderly was constructed several
years ago. To the east lies an undeveloped city park and rural large tract housing.
North: Urban residential and single family homes, City R-3 zoning
South: Rural residential mostly single-family homes and limited agricultural uses,
County R-1 zoning as well as Well Life assisted living complex zoned RA-1
East: Rural residential homes zoned County SAG-10 and a city park zoned P-1
West Urban residential, City R-3 zoning
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of the area is changing
quickly to urban residential. This process will be hastened as city sewer and water are
extended to this area this fall.
I. Availability of Public Services: City water and sewer services exist to the north of this
site where the property abuts Sunset Court. In addition, water is proposed to be brought
in from Raven Rock to the west. Sewer would also be extended from the south along
Three Mile Drive as part of several development proposals occurring further west on Three
Mile Drive. Road access to the site is available through the proposed Raven Rock
subdivision to the west, Three Mile Drive to the south and Sunset Court to the north.
Once annexed to the city, City services including fire, ambulance and police will be
provided to the subdivision once the property has been developed and services are
needed.
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-205, M.C.A.
Findings of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria
described by 76-2-203, M.C.A.
On February 18, 2003 the Kalispell City Council adopted the Kalispell Growth Policy
which designates this area as Urban Residential. This designation anticipates a
residential density of 3 to 12 dwelling unit per acre. Approximately 7.7 acres of this
property is proposed for R-3, an Urban Residential zoning designation that anticipates
single-family homes as the primarily use on lots not less than 7,000 square feet in size
or approximately 6 dwellings per acre. The remaining 1.4 acres is proposed for a
zoning designation of RA-1, Low -Density Residential Apartment, which has a
minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet plus an additional 3,000 square
feet for each dwelling beyond a duplex or approximately 14 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed zoning designations are in substantial compliance with the future land
use designations of the Kalispell Growth Policy with an overall maximum density of
eight dwelling units per acre.
#KA-03-18
Page 2 of 6
It can be anticipated that the proposed change in zoning from agricultural to
residential will increase traffic impacts in the immediate area due to the subsequent
development of the site. However, by concentrating development in a compact manner
close to the central core of the community, traffic impacts in the outlying areas of the
county can be reduced. Traffic impacts to the area can be accommodated with the
existing roadways in the area. Additionally, several accesses to the site will serve to
provide new traffic routes within the community and improve neighborhood
connectivity.
There is no obvious increase in risk related to the proposed zoning district which
would impede fire or police access to the site. Access for fire and other emergency
services is generally good and the potential to provide several new connecting roads I
the neighborhood will greatly enhance service.
Because this annexation will enable the property owners to connect to public sewer
and develop the property with full public services, the public health and welfare of the
community will be served.
Any uses established on the site will be required to meet the development standards
for the district dealing with setbacks, height limits and lot coverage. These standards
are designed to provide for adequate light and air.
The requested zoning designations are consistent with the type of development which
would be anticipated under the Kalispell Growth Policy and would be able to be
accommodated within the land area under the proposed zoning. The requested zoning
will not contribute to the overcrowding of land.
♦ .- -• - -• ••- • . ..• . •• -• •• • •-•. -
Increased concentration of people in this area will likely result after this land has been
converted from an agricultural use to a more intensive residential use. There will be a
more intensive use of the property; however, the intensity of the uses of the property
would be in direct relationship to the availability of public services, utilities and
facilities as well as compliance with established design standards. The design
standards and availability of facilities would provide the structure needed to insure
that there will not be an overcrowding of the land or undue concentration of people.
••• •. .a• • •- • .•M *1111MMUNIR
Public service, facilities and infrastructure would be made available to the developer.
The developer would need to extend the needed City services that are not currently
extended to the property at the developers' expense and in accordance with the City's
#KA-03-18
Page 3 of 6
policies and standards. New improvements to the property such as roads, water,
sewer, parks and drainage would be installed in accordance with City policies and
standards at the developers' expense thereby insuring that there is adequate provision
of services to the site prior to development. Fire, police, ambulance and public access
are adequate to accommodate potential impacts associated with the development of

The proposed zoning furthers the long range development plans as reflected in the
recently adopted Kalispell Growth Policy for this area and provide opportunities for
housing in a development that is compatible with surrounding land uses with the
extension and provision of public services within reasonable proximity to the City core.
The proposed zoning will provide the basis for the future land uses on this property, in
accordance Kalispell Growth Policy. This rezoning gives great consideration to the
suitability of this property for the proposed use and concurrent zoning proposal.
The general character of the area is transitional between the urban and rural /
agricultural use on the fringes of the City limits. The proposed zoning allows this
development to address needs within the community for housing and support services
on public services and in reasonable proximity to the City core. The recent annexation
and adoption of zoning on other properties in the immediate area adjoin this property
to the north and to the west. It appears that the proposed rezoning gives reasonable
consideration to the character of the district.

There is a single-family residential subdivision that adjoins this property to the west
that is in the process of being developed with single-family homes on approximately
7,000 square foot lots and has been annexed to the city. Public utilities have been
extended in conjunction with this development. Most potentially effected properties
that are rural in nature are the properties to the east and the south which are
residential, but are not serviced by public water and / or sewer. The development
anticipated under the proposed zoning may be more intensive in nature because of the
availability of public services and utilities, however, the City standards will insure that
there is high quality development that will insure the value of buildings and homes is
protected, maintained and conserved.

The Kalispell Growth Policy future land use designations anticipates a development
such as that being proposed and will be developed with uses anticipated for the area.
The proposed zoning encourages the most appropriate land use for this property and
throughout the planning jurisdiction.
