SUBJECT Starling phase 1 -- Request for preliminary plat extension
MEETING DATE: June 6, 2011
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Donald Meyers, CEO of the Aspen Group, the developers of the
Starling subdivision, for a one-year extension of the preliminary plat of the Phase 1 subdivision.
The Starling development includes 640 acres, all of Section 35 within. Township 29 North Range 22
West. The project is a mix of residential housing types along with commercial development and is
proposed to be built out over 15 phases. Phase I is located in the northeast corner of section 35 at the
intersection of Stillwater Road and west Reserve Drive.
Phase I would create 204 residential lots and 32 commercial lots. The city council approved phase I on
August 6, 2007 subject to 29 conditions. On June 21, 2010 the city council approved a one-year
extension of the preliminary plat in accordance with section 2.06.E.7 of the Kalispell Subdivision
Regulations. The one-year extension gave the developer until August 6, 2011 to file the final plat. Under
current law, this plat is set to expire at that time. The applicants have requested the one-year extension
because of the adverse economic conditions on the residential real estate market and the signing into law
of House Bill 522.
House Bill 522 amends section 76--3-610 M.C.A allowing a subdivider to request an extension of the
preliminary plat beyond the initial three year approval date and one-year possible extension. The Bill
permits the city council to extend its approval of the preliminary plat for a mutually agreed -upon period of
time. Extension of the preliminary plat will continue to maintain the viability of the PUD as it is tied with
the effective approval timeline of the preliminary plat.
The effective date of HB 522 is October 11, 2011. Starling Phase 1 expires on August 6, 2011
approximately two months before the new law takes effect. In light of the changing law, staff feels it is
reasonable to consider an extension. Even though current law does not take effect for four more months,
it is clear that HB 522 was intended to help the struggling development community in the state.
RECOMMENDATION. A motion to adopt the resolution and grant a one-year extension to the
preliminary plat approval for Starling Phase I Subdivision would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor posit' e impacts once fully developed.
r iv
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
Respectfully submitted,
