The property is generally described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5 in Section 36, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, PMM Flathead County, Montana. The Kalispell City Council approved this subdivision subject to 13 conditions on July 5, 2005. The following is a list of the conditions of preliminary plat approval for this subdivision and a discussion of how they have been met or otherwise addressed. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: Condition No. 1 That the development of the site will be in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat which shall govern the general location of the lot, easements and roadways. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Appendix C - Final Plat I (A) Contents of final plat.) • This condition has been met. The final plat is in compliance with the preliminary plat that was submitted. Condition No. 2 All public infrastructure serving the site shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department for compliance 1 with Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction. A letter shall be obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department approving said plans. (Kalispell Sub. Regs. Section 3.12 A). ® A letter dated April 26, 2005 was obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department approving the construction plans to provide for the infrastructure serving the site.

Section 3.12 - 3.15). ® A letter from the Kalispell Public Works Department dated January 31, 2006 approved the water main extension to the site. The contractor's engineer submitted a letter to the Kalispell Public Works Department on January 25, 2006 stating that all improvements have been built in general accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The as -built drawings have been submitted to the Public Works Department as well as the Planning Department along with the final plat application. Condition No. 4 The following requirements shall be met per the Kalispell Fire Department: (Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, Section 3.20). a. Water mains designed to provide minimum fire flows shall be installed per City specifications at approved locations. Minimum fire flows shall be in accordance with International Fire Code (2003) Appendix B. b.

A site inspection by staff found that lighting installed on the day of the site inspection has been shielded so that it does not intrude unnecessarily onto adjoining properties.

Once completed, the pedestrian pathway will be installed in conjunction with the roadway. The warning lights for the fire engine exit are still in the process of being installed and are anticipated to be completed in the near future. Although the warning lights are not fully installed this will not create a safety hazard as the roadway leading to the fire station currently ends at the fire station. Therefore, no through traffic will be effected at this time. Condition No. 7 That landscaping of the site be done in accordance with a plan approved by the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department. ® The Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department has a landscaping plan for the site and expects the installation of plants, trees and an irrigation system to start around mid April depending on the weather.
