REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT Annexation and Initial R-3 and RA-1 - Owl Corporation
Northeast corner of Stillwater Road and West Reserve Drive
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2003
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Owl Corporation for annexation and an initial
zoning designation of R-3 and RA- 1. The property contains approximately 58 acres
and is located on the northeast corner of Stillwater Road and West Reserve Drive
approximately three-quarters of a mile west of Hwy 93 and is intended for the
development of West View Estates Subdivision, a 128 lots residential subdivision. In
September of 2002 this preliminary plat proposal went before the Kalispell City
Planning Board based on a recent master plan amendment that was approved by the
Kalispell City Council. Subsequent to this review, the Montana Attorney General
issued an opinion stating that master plans previously adopted were not valid. This
had the effect of nullifying the master plan amendment approved by the Kalispell City
Council which was later formally rescinded.
Since that time the Kalispell City Council approved the Kalispell Growth Policy
making way for the review of this project under this document without the burden of
unresolved issues relating to the previously adopted Kalispell City -County Master
Plan. The review of this proposal under the Kalispell Growth Policy by the Kalispell
Planning Board is an administrative requirement since the previous evaluation was
based on an invalid master plan amendment. The adopted Kalispell Growth Policy
designates the area where this subdivision is proposed as Urban Residential on
approximately 50 acres and High -Density Residential on approximately 10 acres, as
was previously approved with the master plan amendment. The applicants are
proposing City R-3, a Residential zoning district and RA-1, Low Density Residential
Apartment. The property is the West Valley Zoning District and is currently zoned
County AG-80, an Agricultural zoning district that allows a density of one dwelling per
five acres through clustering. Concurrent with the annexation request is a proposal
for 128-lot residential subdivision that includes the extension of City sewer and
possibly City water to the site. The property has been used for agricultural purposes
in the past and is otherwise undeveloped.
The Kalispell City Planning Board held a public hearing regarding this matter at their
regular meeting of April 8, 2003. A number of people for the area spoke in opposition
to the proposed zoning stating that the density allowed under the proposed zoning
was too high and that it had the potential to undermine the rural character of the
area.

,n Annexation and Initial Zoning
The board discussed the issues related to the proposed zoning including the
minimum lot size requirements, density of the subdivision, phasing and the impacts
to the school district. A motion was made and passed on a vote of four in favor an two
opposed to forward a recommendation that initial zoning for this property should be
R-3, Residential, and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment, upon annexation.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the first reading of the ordinance for R-3
and RA- I zoning upon annexation would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

Re: Annexation and Initial Zoning of R-3 and RA- 1 on 58 Acres - West View
Estates, northeast corner of Stillwater Road and West Reserve Drive
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on April 8, 2003, and held a public hearing to
rehear a request by Owl Corporation for annexation and an initial zoning designation
of R-3 and RA-1 under the Kalispell Growth Policy. In September of 2002 this

Narda Wilson of the Tri-City Planning Office presented staff report #KA-03-8,
evaluating the proposed zoning and recommended initial zoning of City R-3,
Residential and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment.
At the public hearing there were several people from the neighborhood who expressed
concerns about neighborhood character, increased traffic and the potential impacts
to the West Valley School District.
After the public hearing the board discussed the proposal. A motion was passed on a
vote of four in favor and two opposed to forward a recommendation that initial zoning
for this property should be R-3, Residential and RA- 1, Low Density Residential
Apartment, upon annexation. The legal description of the property to be annexed is
attached as Exhibit A.
Please schedule this matter for the May 5, 2003 regular city council meeting. You
may contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Tri-City Planning Office if you have any
questions regarding this matter.

Wilson said this request was based on research and
experience in practice. PJ Sorenson, Zoning Administrator
for the City of Kalispell addressed the board and agreed that
smaller beauty salons do not seem to need the extra parking.
He said the additional square footage evaluation pushes the
parking requirements beyond reasonable need.
Atkinson said reducing the excess parking would be a
positive aspect to reduce density in downtown Kalispell and
this might help in a small way.
Norton asked and Sorenson answered that a house converted
to a beauty shop or house with mixed used would be
analyzed based on square footage devoted to each business.
Taylor asked if this amendment would have any negative
effect on any existing beauty or barber shop. Wilson
answered that she thought it would create a positive effect by
potentially freeing up additional space for other uses.
Van Natta said his concern was the possibility of having
more than one customer in the shop with the operator at one
time. Wilson said if there were concerns about inadequate
parking at the one to two space ratio, the ratio could be
increased to 2.5 spaces per operator.
Atkinson asked if that change would adversely affect the
applicant but Wilson said she didn't think it would.
MOTION (AMENDMENT)
Hull offered an amendment to change the required number
of parking spots to 2.5 lots per operator No second was
heard and the motion died for lack of a second.

The original motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

STAFF REPORT
Narda Wilson, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a
KA-03-8 AND KPP 03-5
presentation of staff report KA-03-8, a rehearing regarding a
request for an initial zoning designation of R-3 and RA-1
upon annexation to the City of Kalispell on approximately 58
acres of property located at the northeast comer of Stillwater
Road and West Reserve Drive. Concurrently, staff report KPP

subdivision filed concurrently with the annexation and initial
zoning request. This project was previously reviewed by the
planning board and forwarded on to the city council but was
postponed because of legal issues relating to the Kalispell
City -County Master Plan and adoption of the Kalispell
Growth Policy. The previously adopted master plan
amendment for this project was rescinded by the Kalispell
City Council and has no bearing on consideration of this
proposal. Subsequent adoption of the Kalispell Growth
Policy provides a basis for zoning review and subdivision
density.
The report evaluating the proposed R-3 and RA- 1 zoning is
based on Urban Residential and High Density Residential
future land use designations in the Kalispell Growth Policy
for the appropriate assignment of a City zoning classification
in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. The developer would like to annex in
order to receive City services. Wilson noted this property is
currently zoned agricultural but will be moved to a
residential City zoning designation with annexation. Staff
reviewed the staff report and recommended that the Kalispell
City Planning Board forward a recommendation to Kalispell
City Council that the initial zoning for this property should
be R-3, Residential, on approximately 48 acres and RA- 1,
Low Density Residential on approximately 10 acres, upon
annexation to the City.
Wilson reviewed the staff report for the preliminary plat for
West Valley Estates also being proposed with the annexation.
She noted that approximately 48 acres was dedicated to
single family development with 127 lots and one ten acre lot
in the area zoned RA- 1. In September of 2002 this
preliminary plat proposal went before the Kalispell City
Planning Board and was recommended for approval on a 5 to
2 vote. However, the project was stalled before being acted
on by the Kalispell City Council due to unresolved issues
with the previously adopted Kalispell City -County Master
Plan, changes in the state law and the Attorney General's
option relating to growth polices. The rehearing of the
development and planning board review of this proposal
under the Kalispell Growth Policy is an administrative
requirement because the previous evaluation was based on
an invalid master plan amendment.
Wilson noted the phasing was planned in six steps from
south to north and east to west. The general land use
character of this area is rural to the west and suburban to
the east and can be considered to be on the urban fringes.
It is notable that there are a couple of gravel pits north of
this property which might produce conflict in terms of noise
and truck traffic. One of the concerns identified was the
potential use of a private water system from the Stillwater
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of April 8. 2003
Page 3 of 20
Estates. She said any water system within West View
Estates would be evaluated to see if it could provide the
necessary capacity for fire flows and domestic use. If the
private system cannot meet those requirements, then City
sewer and water would be extended to the site. Another
concern was a lack of connection between the parcel A and
the single family subdivision. Therefore the staff is
recommending a pedestrian and bike path connecting the
two areas. Traffic impacts to West Reserve Drive is also a
concern. West Reserve Drive is a 60 foot right-of-way right
now and there is no plan to widen or upgrade it to 80 feet at
this time. It is a State secondary road on a waiting list. Staff
recommends a 10 foot right-of-way reservation for future
acquisition in addition to a 20 foot buffer area along West
Reserve Drive and Stillwater Road. The subdivision may
result in 60 to 80 additional children from this subdivision
for West Valley School which is already near capacity. The
developer has set aside approximately 2.2 acres near the
center of the subdivision for open park space. This
subdivision complies with the Kalispell Subdivision
Regulations. Staff reviewed the findings of fact and
recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board approve
the preliminary plat of West View Estates Subdivision subject
to 19 conditions in the staff report with some minor
amendments: Add an additional condition to obtain a permit
from the Flathead County Road Department for the new road
with access onto Stillwater Road, amend item 13 and 14 to
read a minimum 20 foot buffer strip instead of 25 foot.
Atkinson questioned why the reconunendation for a
reduction in buffer and Wilson said 20 feet was the standard
used for the last several subdivisions and seems to be
adequate.
Atkinson asked and Wilson answered that it did not include
the 10 foot right-of-way reservation strip.
PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak
I on the issue.
APPLICANT/AGENCIES Erica Wirtala, planner with Sands Surveying and
representing the applicant, passed out a written copy of her
testimony. She said this property is now zoned County R-2,
Suburban Residential. She feels homes per acre is well
within that anticipated by the Kalispell Growth Policy. The
single family portion is divided into six phases which could
translate into 18 years depending on housing needs. Parcel
A is proposed to be zoned RA-1 for residential, multi -family
housing or other uses. It may become a senior citizen
complex or other options within the RA-1 zoning. She
addressed the concerns about the water system saying they
are bringing City sewer into the site and can bring water at
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of April 8, 2003
Page 4 of 20
the same time if necessary. She said Page 3 of the staff
report says Parcel A does not have access to the park area.
The site review committee discussed creating a
bike/pedestrian park. She said they felt there were better
options than going through lots within the single family
subdivision. She said it is their intention to keep this parcel
as a stand alone subdivision with different recreational
needs. She said the 20 foot buffer along West Reserve might
be a better choice for a sidewalk system instead of path
which would cross unrestricted intersections and side lots.
She asked the Board to strike the addition of condition # 12.
She feels the developer has taken into consideration the
concerns of the neighbors. The development has been
changed so that single family homes abut single family
neighbors. The developer will work with MDOT to assure
that all ingress and egress comply with City and State
standards. She said the State would be responsible for
widening West Reserve in the future. She said regarding the
concerns for West Valley school, the developer feels that
because of the phasing proposed there will not be a huge
impact on the school.
PUBLIC COMMENT Todd Fisk, Superintendent/ Principal of West Valley School,
resides at 275 Gilbert Lake Road. He addressed the potential
impact on the school with the growth of this development.
He said the recent bond allowed the school to get all of their
students out of the basement into real classrooms. The next
challenge is the burden that will be created with new growth
and require another bond issue for the neighbors. He said in
the Pines Development years ago there were lots designated
to the school for their use. The school sold those lots and it
helped take the burden off taxpayers.
Mark Voelker, 280 Hartt Hill Drive said this development has
been compared to the surrounding area as similar and he
doesn't seem the similarity. The other subdivisions are one
half acre lots with R-2 zoning instead of R-3. He didn't
understand the higher density being allowed. He was
concerned about burdens on the roads and schools and
thought they should stay inside the higher density zoning in
other areas. He felt it should be a lower density zoning.
Greg Harris, 539 Three Mile Drive and owner of Grizzly
Security said he is concerned about the high density. He felt
it would put a burden on the Kalispell Police Department
because it is further out. He felt there would be a high crime
rate sooner or later with the higher density. He said a bond
issue gets the school up and running but additional money is
required keep it running. He was concerned about the
impact on taxpayers including his family. He said the
developer may have a great reputation but the density is too

high. He would like to see it similar to Stillwater Estates. He
asked the Board to take more time to look this issue over.
Bob Beaver, who is buying a place in Quarter Horse Estates
and said the RA-1 apartment area has as much potential to
produce as many children as the entire subdivision above it.
Ed Weber, 1070 Quarter Horse Lane echoed the sentiments
of the other gentleman. He said the density of this proposal
and the next one and said the condition of the existing roads
is poor. He was concerned about the type of homes that
would be built there. It doesn't meet the needs of the
existing developments that surround it.
Kim Bly, Quarter House Estates, 230 Stillwater Road said
they moved here to have smaller classes and less crime. She
asked the teachers who teach Driver's Ed and they use
Stillwater Road because it is not as populated. She said they
are concerned about their children who are just learning how
to drive and the increased traffic in the area. She is
concerned about the type of housing because they are
abutted up to the next subdivision.
Kathleen Nicolitz, 1030 Quarter Horse Lane said she
understands the developer's desire to develop and make
money but Stillwater and Three Mile are covered with
potholes. She said the schools would be impacted. She
works at Home Options near the hospital and felt the
addition of 200 people will make the traffic unbearable.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was
closed.
MOTION Atkinson moved and Johnson seconded to adopt staff report
KA-03-8 as finding of fact and, based on these findings,
recommended to the Kalispell City Council that the initial
zoning for this property should be R-3, Residential, on
approximately 48 acres and RA-1, Low Density Residential
on approximately 10 acres, upon annexation to the City.
BOARD DISCUSSION Atkinson asked if there was consideration to 10 feet of right
of way on Stillwater and Wilson said it is not designated as
an arterial.
Taylor asked about page 5, paragraph 11, in the staff report
which said, "this subdivision was not built to City standards"
and asked what the difference was between the two
properties.
Wilson answered that Stillwater Estates was reviewed and
approved under County standards so the lots within the
subdivision are larger because they utilize on -site sewage
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of April 8. 2003
Page 6 of 20
treatment systems and community water systems. The
roads are pavement with ditching and no pedestrian access
in the subdivision.
Taylor asked how the lot size in West View Estates compares
to those in Ashley Park and Wilson said the West View lots
are slightly bigger. He noted there is no plan about doing
anything to West Reserve Drive beyond 2009.
Wilson said the City has limited influence over how the State
prioritizes road improvements and the money is controlled by
the State.
Van Natta said in the growth policy the City did place a high
priority on West Reserve Drive.
Norton asked and the developer, Mr. Peterson, answered that
the lots will be $45,000-65,000 and will be more comparable
to Buffalo Stage Development.
Norton asked and Wilson said the lots in Buffalo Stage were
about the same size, 10,000 square feet.
Van Natta asked and Wilson answered that Buffalo Stage is
zoned RA-1 which is the same zoning as the 10 acres in this
proposed project.
Van Natta said as the growth policy was developed one of the
primary goals is to set policies to try to avoid impacts to the
aquifer by getting City sewer to these outlying areas.
Taylor asked if Stillwater Estates would become part of the
City sewer.
Atkinson asked Wilson for the history of Stillwater Estates.
He thought it was proposed to be on City water and sewer
when it was developed and the developers chose to go
forward with County zoning.
Wilson said it was the staff recommendation at the time it
was reviewed that Stillwater Estates be connected to public
sewer. The developers opposed having to extend sewer. The
commissioners allowed the developer a chance to sell some
lots before requiring hook-up to sewer. The developers went
back to the Commissioners and asked them to reconsider
requiring the developer to attach to the sewer. The
Commissioners allowed them to use private onsite sewer
systems for the property. There was a note on the Stillwater
Estates plat that waives protest to annexation to the City and
hook up to the sewer, a burden passed on to the lot owners.
Wilson didn't feel it was fair to have a SID looming over the
heads of the homeowners in the subdivision after they
invested in private on -site sewage systems.

Taylor asked how the lots sizes compare to a City lot size.
Wilson answered that City lots axe approximately 7,000
square feet and these are around 10,000 square feet so these
are roughly 50% larger.
Norton stated that he felt the developer went to lot of trouble
to answer his questions before the meeting but his initial
reaction mirrors the concerns of the neighbors that this is a
very high density compared to other subdivisions in the area.
He felt the density is too high at this time. Wilson clarified
there isn't much lot size difference between R-2 and R-3.
Norton said these lots don't meet affordable housing
requirements.
Hull said the City and the neighbors would be sorry that
there is no road connection between this subdivision and
Stillwater Estates. He said there is essentially a whole City
neighborhood on one road with only one alternate exit.
Van Natta said he doesn't disagree with Hull.
ROLL CALL The motion passed 4-2 on a roll call vote with Taylor and
I Norton in opposition.
MOTION Atkinson moved and Taylor seconded to adopt staff report
#KPP-03-5 as findings of fact and approve the West View
Estates Subdivision Preliminary Plat subject to the 20
conditions with staff recommended amendments to 13 and
14 to read a minimum of 20 foot buffer strip instead of 25
foot.
BOARD DISCUSSION Atkinson said City standards require the width of the street
to be 24 feet with 2 foot curbs. He asked if that would allow
parking and Wilson said it would not. He asked if there
would be park requirements for Parcel A if it wanted to be
treated as a separate development would there be other
requirements.
Wilson referred to the staff report, page 4 which dealt with
access. She said the staff recommended to the developer to
reconfigure the road to see a road connection between the
two subdivisions. She said she didn't think a bike path
would be a burden as a connection. She questioned the
intention to separate the two communities by limiting an
interconnection between the two. She did not favor that
approach practically or philosophically.
Atkinson wondered about parking if the park was designated
as a City Park and Wilson said that would be addressed by
the Park Department with the development of the park area.

Minutes of the meeting of April 8, 2003
Paae 8 of 20
Taylor asked about the alternate access into this
development and Wilson said it was condition 12 and dealt
with pedestrian access.
Taylor questioned why there was only one ingress and
egress. Wilson said Taylor was talking about Stillwater
Estates to the east and joining those two subdivisions.
Wilson said there is no road connection unless you get
further north to the top of Stillwater Estates. Wilson said at
this point there is a road connection to the west, which could
provide an alternate access into this property.
Taylor asked if there was value in providing vehicle access to
Parcel A. Wilson said there is merit and they had tried to
negotiate that with the developer but were unsuccessful. It
wasn't something the staff felt strongly enough about to offer
a recommendation since the developer had already gone
through a significant redesign to address neighbor concerns.
She said she felt it was unfair to keep asking for more. She
did think, however, it would result in a better overall design.
Norton said he didn't think the park location was well
thought out and he agreed with Wilson that they didn't want
to create an exclusive park. He said it needed to be an
accessible park for the whole subdivision. He asked how
cash in lieu of parkland was determined.
Wilson said she agreed that the park could function better if
pedestrian access was included to the park in all directions.
She said the location of the park is a wonderful amenity to
the subdivision because of its central location. She said the
developer could make more money selling lots than putting
in a park so she appreciates the park in the subdivision.
Cash in lieu of parkland is assessed on the unimproved
value of the area in lots. She said the assigned value being
used lately has been $10,000 per acre and in this case there
was no dispute over the value.
Norton said he clarified he thought the park would be a great
amenity to the subdivision.
Van Natta said there are sidewalks all a -round the
neighborhood and it creates great access to the area.
Taylor asked and Wilson answered that on street parking has
not been addressed at this time. Once the preliminary plat
for the subdivision has been approved the developer will
coordinate utility design including the roadway width and
parking with the Public Works Department.

Atkinson said he was grappling with Item 12. He felt two
entrances onto Stillwater Road and West Reserve are not a
good idea and there should be an access into Parcel A.
MOTION (AMENDMENT)
Atkinson moved and Hull seconded to amend item 12 to
require a road access Parcel A going both north/south and
east/west.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Atkinson asked and Wilson answered that the developer
would lose two lots. Atkinson cited the need for fire access,
ingress and egress and for maintaining a community and not
individual subdivisions within a development as reason for
the access.
Erica Wirtala said she appreciated the concerns about
interconnectedness between communities but one of their
options is a Senior Living Center and increased traffic in that
area would be undesirable. She clarified that parcel A would
also them dump all of its traffic past two separate lots. She
suggested waiting for a conditional use permit to Parcel A.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Atkinson said Phase 1 would already be built and then it
would be impossible to add the road at a later time.
Van Natta said he could see rational for one entrance to
eliminate another intersection on West Reserve. He
questioned the need for two entrances and wondered if it was
necessary for emergency vehicles. He said the first 5 lots
could be narrowed to 90 feet and there would be 56 feet of
right-of-way available to get residents out of Parcel A.
Taylor said he knew the Board members were not civil
engineers but felt the spirit of the amendment was to take a
look at making a second point of ingress and egress into
Parcel A, presumably from Taylor Road.
Hull said the goal is to look at the future of the City and the
two neighborhoods should be joined somehow.
MOTION (AMEND
Hull moved and Taylor seconded to amend the amendment
AMENDMENT)
to require only one access from Taylor Road to Parcel A.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Van Natta said he felt the main purpose was to prevent
another access onto West Reserve.
Hull said he was looking for connection between the two
subdivisions.

TRI-CITY PLANNING OFFICE
STAFF REPORT #KA-03-8
MARCH 31, 2003
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board 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 58 acres. A public hearing has been scheduled before the
planning board for April 8, 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 is a rehearing of a previously proposed project that was later postponed because of
issues relating to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan and adoption of the Kalispell
Growth Policy. This proposal was previously reviewed under the city -county master
plan which was later determined to be invalid by the Montana State Attorney General's
Office based on changes made to the statutes.
This proposal is being brought before the planning board again to be reviewed under
the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 adopted by the Kalispell City Council on February 18,
2003. This report is based on Urban Residential and High Density Residential future
land use designations in the Kalispell Growth Policy. The previously adopted master
plan amendment for this project was rescinded by the Kalispell City Council and has no
bearing on consideration of this proposal.
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: Owl Corporation

Kalispell, MT 59901
(406) 752-5666
Sands Surveying
2 Village Loop
Kalispell, MT 59901
(406) 755-6481
B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for
annexation lies at the northeast comer of Stillwater Road and West Reserve Drive in
northwest Kalispell. The property proposed for annexation and zoning can be
described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5+ located in Section 25, Township 29
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 AG-80,
Agricultural, which is an agricultural district with an 80-acre minimum lot size
requirement. 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 12 one -acre lots.
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposal would designate approximately 48 acres as R-3,
Residential, a single-family residential district; approximately 10 acres as RA-1, a
Low -Density Residential Apartment. A preliminary plat for 128 lots is being fided
concurrently with the annexation and zoning request.
E. Size: The property proposed for annexation and zoning contains approximately 58
acres.
F. Existing Land Use: Currently this property is being used for agricultural purposes
and is otherwise undeveloped.
G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The area can be described as being located on
the fringes of urban development. Having suburban residential development to
the east and agricultural uses to the north, south and west characterize it.
North: Agricultural and gravel pit, County AG-80 and SAG- 10
West Valley Overlay
South: Agricultural uses, City zoning of State School Section PUD, R-5
intended for Professional Office
East: Single-family residential (Stillwater Estates), County R-2 zoning
West: Agricultural, County AG-80 and West Valley Overlay zoning
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of the area is a
generally rural in character with some suburban residential development to the
east and agricultural uses to the north, south and west.
1. Availability of Public Services: City water and sewer services exist to the east of
this site approximately one mile along Hwy 93. There are also City water and
sewer mains to the south of this property along Four Mile Drive. Although the
design work is not complete, it appears that water and sewer Will be extended from
either location to the development. A State secondary highway, West Reserve
Drive, will provide primary access to the site and is adjacent to this property. West
Reserve Drive and Highway 93 is a controlled intersection which has a four-way
stop light. Other City services can be provided to the site once the property has
been developed and services are needed.
2
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.
MM MUMMEN"M
On February 18, 2003 the Kalispell City Council adopted the Kalispell Growth
Policy which designates approximately 50 acres where the proposed single-family
subdivision is proposed as Urban Residential which anticipates a density of three
to 12 dwelling unit per acre. This area is proposed for R-3, a 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 six dwellings per acre. The
approximately 10 acres along West Reserve Drive is designated on the Kalispell
Growth Policy future land use plan map as High Density Residential which
anticipates eight to 40 dwellings per acre and some limited office uses when the
land uses can be made compatible. This area 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. The proposed zoning designations are in
substantial compliance with the future land use designations of the Kalispell
Growth Policy and can be considered to be appropriate for the area.

It can be anticipated that the proposed rezoning from agricultural to residential
will increase traffic impacts in the area due to the subsequent development of the
site. Traffic impacts to the area can be accommodated with the existing
roadways in the area, however, the proposed rezoning is not designed to lessen
congestion in the streets.
� �Alll "0111MISEN
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.
HOM IMIRMSM, R$MT*r*M=_*T0_FZ1MM1MM
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.
�ANN
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.
Lhese standards are designed to provide for adequate light and air.

�* �IMWWWMOTFUM WAOINOROJEW M-4 MISUSKONTARCOMWOM
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 acconimodated within the land area under the proposed zoning. The
requested zone 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.
WARD
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 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 this site.
There will be impacts to services which can be anticipated as a result of this
proposal which can be met by the City.
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 affordable 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.
10. Does the requested zone g�ve reasonable consideration to the clugr,9cter of -the
distT�c ?
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
4
services on public services and in reasonable proximity to the City core. The
recent annexation and adoption of zoning / PUD on the State school section
property to the south extended the City limits to adjoin this property. The school
section property to the south of this site is anticipated to be developed with
similar type or more intensive uses as is proposed with this property, i.e. a mix of
residential and professional offices. It appears that the proposed rezoning gives
reasonable consideration to the character of the district.
[�M - ewaawwmw "welawmalsigm
There is a single-family residential subdivision that adjoins this property to the
east that was developed with approximately half -acre lots with on -site sewage
treatment systems and a conimunity water system. The school section property
to the south has not been developed and the properties to the north and west are
generally agricultural in nature, low in density and intensity. Most potentially
effected properties are the properties to the east which are similar in use.
Although the large lots to the east are larger and larger than average homes are
anticipated to be constructed there, this subdivision was not constructed to City
standards like the one that will be proposed on this site. The development
anticipated under the proposed zoning may be more intensive in nature because
of the available 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.
It is recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt Staff Report #KA-03-8
as fmdings of fact and forward a recommendation to Kalispell City Council that the
initial zoning for this property should be R-3, Residential, on approximately 48 acres
and RA-1, Low Density Residential on approximately 10 acres as proposed and
indicated on the attached vicinity map upon annexation to the City.

2. A request by Owl Corporation for preliminary plat approval of West View Estates,
a 128 lot subdivision located on the northeast corner of Stillwater Road and West
Reserve Drive. This plat would create 127 lots intended for single-family
residential development on approximately 48 acres and one 10 acre lot intended
for multi -family and townhouse development. All of the lots in the subdivision
would be served by public sewer and water and would be developed in
accordance with City of Kalispell standards. The preliminary plat is being
submitted in conjunction with the annexation of the property and designation of
initial zoning. The property can be described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5+
located in Section 25, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead
County, Montana. (A rehearing on this project is required under the recently
adopted Kalispell Growth Policy.)
3. A request by Charles and Michelle Lapp for an initial zoning designation of R-2,
Residential, upon annexation to the city of Kalispell on approximately 24.4 acres
of property located at the northwest comer of Stillwater Road and Three Mile
Drive. The R-2 zoning district is a residential zone that is intended primarily for
single-family homes with a 9,600 square foot minimum lot size requirement.
Currently the property is located in the county and is zoned R-2, a Suburban
Residential, zoning district and SAG-5, a Suburban Agricultural, zoning district.
A preliminary plat containing 59 lots as described below is being filed
concurrently with the annexation and zoning request. The property can be
described as Lot 1 of Subdivision 204 and an approximately 2.5 acre portion of

P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
4. A request by Charles and Michelle Lapp for preliminary -plat approval of Blue
Heron Estates, a 59 lot residential subdivision on the northwest comer of Three
Mile Drive and Stillwater Road. All of the lots in the subdivision would be served
by public sewer and water and would be developed in accordance with City of
Kalispell standards. The preliminary plat is being submitted in conjunction with
the annexation of the property and designation of initial zoning. The property
can be described as Lot 1 of Subdivision 204 and an approximately 2.5 acre
portion of Vogler Subdivision located in Section 2, Township 28 North, Range 22
West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
S. A request by Grant Spoklie to amend the Kalispell Zoning Regulations to reduce
the required parking for beauty shops and barber shops from three spaces per
operator to two spaces per operator and deleting the reference to an alternative
standard of one space per 100 square feet of gross floor area, which ever is larger;
and the requirement for one space per employee on the largest shift. The
proposed amendment would apply to all barber and beauty shops within the city
zoning jurisdiction.
Documents pertaining to these agenda items are on file for public inspection at the
Tri-City Planning Office, 17 Second Street East, Suite 211, Kalispell, MT 5990 1, and
