Betty Munoz, 2023 Mission Trail, said it's time the City stop it's "piecemeal" annexation of
Evergreen, adding the City doesn't have adequate planning for the community in regards to the
density that's starting to accumidate along Whitefish Stage Road. She said she's afraid of inferior
duality with the townhouses, which are going to change the character of the neighborhood.
Susan Storfa, 1373 Whitefish Stage Road, said she owns the property immediately north of this
proposed development and she will be the neighbor impacted the most. She said she's opposed to
the density, which is not in accordance with the other growth in the area, and she's opposed to the
two -road entrance. Storfa commented children cross Whitefish Stage Road and the additional two
intersections will add to the traffic problems that already exist.
Holly Hand,1465 Whitefish Stage Road, said the proposal will add density where it doesn't belong.
She said even though the speed limit is posted at 25, people on the average travel at least 45 miles
per hour and this subdivision will add at least 36 cars entering and exiting Whitefish Stage. Hand
said the development is planned for an unstable bluff, which is already slumping just to the north.
She said if you add paved roads, parking lots and roofs, the extra runoff will increase the erosion on
this fragile hillside, especially if trees are removed.
John Roderick,1465 Whitefish Stage Road, also expressed concerns with the density, traffic, and the
hillside.
The following s oke in favor of Granary Ridge T ownhouses
Bruce Lutz, landscape architect for the Granary Ridge proposal, stated the growth policy adopted in
2002 calls for urban residential in this area, encouraging density where public facilities are available.
He said the urban residential growth area calls for densities of three to twelve units and their
proposal is in the six units per acre realm which is on the low end. Lutz said they acknowledge there
are traffic concerns on Whitefish Stage Road, but it's a primary urban route that must accommodate
traffic in the future. He explained since the planning board hearing borings have been taken by a
geotechnical firm and that report will be available soon.
Paul Wachholz, 183 Fairway Boulevard, said the developers are following the growth plan and are
filling a marketing niche that addresses the handicapped and senior citizens who want single floor
living. He said the engineer has determined the hill is stable and there are no plans to cut down any
trees.
Holly Jean Larson, 852 5th Avenue East North, said she's doing the design and colorizing on the
project and a number of retired women and couples have asked her about this complex because of
the one level living. She said there's a definite need for this type of housing and the Montana
Department of Transportation is looping at the problems on Whitefish Stage and hopefully the
concerns will be addressed.

Pati Heath, 160 Aspen Loop, expressed concern with. the Spring Creek Subdivision as it relates to
her property and her neighbor's. She said because of the proposed density, she will have four lots

them to find a way to protect their property and suggested maybe a deeper vegetation buffer is the
answer.
Bruce Ruby, Somers, said he's in favor of the Council replacing the mercury lights as will be
addressed in the work session after the meeting.
Jackie Keyser, 545 2nd Avenue East, also asked the Council to consider replacing the 4€32 mercury
vapor lights in Kalispell.

Estates Addition No. 361; to zone said property in accordance with the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance, and to declare an effective date. The motion was seconded.
Wilson gave a staff report on the annexation, zoning, and preliminary plat. She explained one issue
the Council will be asked to address with regards to the preliminary plat deals with the acceptance
and maintenance of the alleys. Wilson said the planning board felt the City should be willing to take
over the maintenance and ownership of the alleys in order to further this type of design in the future.
Wilson answered questions.
Larson commented he's concerned with. the distance of this subdivision to the City. He said the
shortest route to the area is 3.7 miles and "at what point can we still service those areas with
emergency services".
Brodehl said that's also a concern of the public safety department; however, near this area is the
property for the west fire station and police substation that will be built in the future.
Larson said the land is a minor detail when you have to build it, equip it, and man it.
Patrick stressed this subdivision is right across the street from the Blue Heron Subdivision. He said
the staff will be meeting soon on the new bill that approved impact fees to help cities provide sewer,
water storm cPl1 or i olit'F' '5ind fin -
Larson
Peters said he has the same concerns as Larson. He said it's great there's legislation for impact fees,
but it doesn't help us right now, adding annexations cost the City more than they pay in taxes.
The motion carried upon roll vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Hafferman, Herron, Olson, and
Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Kenyon, Larson, and Peters voting against.
E/4. ORDINANCE 1534 — INITIAL ZONING — SPRING CREEK ESTATES — 1ST
HEAVING
Tim Birk and Roy and Carol Stanley are requesting a zoning designation of R-3, Urban Single

Atkinson moved first reading of Ordinance 1534, an ordinance to amend Section 27.02.010,
Official Zoning Map, City of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, (Ordinance No. 1460), by zoning
certain real property more particularly described as Assessor's Tract 4C in the North 1/2 of

in accordance with the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020, and to provide an effective date. The
motion was seconded.
There was no discussion.
The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote.
E15. RESOLUTION 5006 — PRELIMINARY PLAT — SPRING CREEK ESTATES
Tire Birk and Roy and Carol Stanley are also requesting preliminary plat approval of Spring Creek
Estates, a 171 lot single family residential subdivision on the above mentioned property.
Atkinson moved Resolution 5006, a resolution conditionally approving the preliminary plat of
Spring Creek Estates, more particularly described as Assessor's Tract 4C in the North 1/2 of
Section 11, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The
motion was seconded.
Wilson noted after looking at the resolution the buffer requirement for the properties south was
inadvertently omitted and should have been included.
Peters moved a minimum ten foot buffer shall be provided between the lots in the southeast
corner of the subdivision and the lots in Aspen Knoll Subdivision in the form of berming,
fencing, landscaping, or a combination thereof to be coordinated with the Public Works
Department, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the adjoining property owners. The
motion was seconded.
The amendment carried unanimously upon roll call vote.
Mayor Kennedy, referring to the condition concerning alleys, said she wants to make sure the
developers understand those alleys are to be paved.
Wilson said the developers do understand paving is required, however, the Council could specifically
add that to condition #9.
Kenyon moved to amend condition 49 to read; "Alleys shall be paved and designed with a
center line crown ..." The motion was seconded.
Hafferman noted condition #10 states the City will own and maintain the alleys once completed. He
said he really doesn't have any problem with the City owning and maintaining them, but he wants to
make it clear the City won't be plowing snow from the alleys.
Mayor Kennedy asked the Council to consider the paving amendment to condition #9 before
discussing the ownership and maintenance. She asked for a vote.
The amendment carried unanimously upon roll call vote.
Kalispell City Council [Minutes
May 2, 200S
Page 5
Olson commented maybe the subdivision could contribute to the City by maintaining ownership and
maintenance of the alleys.
Hafferman said he'd like to make a motion that the preliminary plat contains a note stating the
snowplowing of the alleys is to be done by the homeowners.
Wilson stated if the City doesn't want to accept responsibility for plowing the Council could create a
homeowners association for the pro rata maintenance of the alley during the winter.
Atkinson said the maintenance of these alleys would fall under the same rules as the maintenance of
any alleys to the City and therefore he doesn't feel a special comment needs to be made stating the
City won't plow the alleys.
Patrick noted the City does plow alleys, however, it's not the top priority.
Hafferman said he won't press the issue, but wants to make sure that the new people moving into the
subdivision are aware the alleys won't be plowed.
Peters commented there's a note on the plat waiving the creation of an SID for the upgrade of streets,
but asked if there is a mechanism to mitigate the impacts on police and fire.
Mayor Kennedy said that issue has been a frustration for everyone, but she doesn't know of anything
that allows the City to place specific impacts on specific developments until the City has the
authority to implement impact fees.
Pntt'lrIe noropd ndd'nT the lnw for imnnrt foot rinPcn't (Yn intn Pffoct until ()rtn%Pr and hP envnPrtc to
have a plan ready to implement at that time.
Olson suggested maybe an annexation district would be the answer until the law goes into effect.
Mayor Kennedy said that could be discussed at a work session.
Mayor Kennedy asked if a requirement could be added stating utility boxes will be placed in the
alleys rather than in front of the residences.
Wilson said she believes the utility companies have control over the placement of the boxes,
however, a condition could be added stating; "The Public Works Department will coordinate with
the local utility companies in an effort to place the new utility installations in the alley".
Kenyon Moved condition #17 be amended to add that the Public Works Department will
coordinate with the local utility companies in an effort to place the new utility installations in
the alley. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Hafferman, Kenyon, Larson,
Olson, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Herron voting against.

Ef6. RESOLUTION 5007 — ANNEXATION - GRANARY RIDGE TOWNHOUSES
SUBDIVISION
Valley Ventures, LLC is requesting annexation of approximately two and a half acres located on the
east side of Whitefish Stage Road, north of the Granary building and Edgerton School.
Peters moved Resolution 5007, a resolution to provide for the alteration of the boundaries of
the City of Kalispell by including therein as an annexation certain real property, more
particularly described as Lots 3 and 4 of Subdivision #1150 and Assessor's Tract 5C in the
Southwest Quarter of Section 32, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead
County, Montana, to be known as Granary Ridge Addition No. 362; to zone said property in
accordance with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, and to declare an effective date. The motion
was seconded.
Wilson gave a staff report on the annexation, zoning, and preliminary plat. She said the planning
board struggled with this subdivision, expressing concerns with the density and some members felt it
would be a better project if one of the two unit townhouses along the bluff area was eliminated.
Wilson noted the planning board is recommending an R-4 zoning designation, but members were
unable to come to a decision on the preliminary plat with the motion failing on a tie vote of three to
three. She added a motion to eliminate one of the townhouses also failed on a three to three tie vote.
Wilson answered questions from Hafferman concerning the roadways, utility easements, and right of
way.
Hafferman commented it appears the City uses different regulations for different subdivisions.
Hafferman stated the hillside has a great potential for sloughage and he feels any design should be
based on geotechnical recommendations and a geotechnical report should be completed before any
construction begins.
Mayor Kennedy noted condition 416 states, "A geotechnical study of the slope shall be conducted
prior to the issuance of a building permit demonstrating its stability as a building site".
Wilson suggested modifying the condition to state "prior to final plat approval".
Hafferman said that" s the improper time; the issue should be discussed now because this is a critical
hillside.
Mayor Kennedy asked that the annexation issue be dealt with first.
The motion carried upon roll vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Kenyon, Larson, Olson,
Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Hafferman voting against.

Ei7. ORDINANCE 1535 _.. INITIAL ZONING — GRANARY RIDGE TOWNHOMES
SUBDIVISION —1ST READING
Valley Ventures, LLC is requesting an initial zoning designation of RA -I, Low Density Residential
Apartment, with a PUD overlay upon annexation of the above mentioned property.
Peters moved first reading of Ordinance 1535, an ordinance to amend Section 27.02.010,
Official Zoning Map, City of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, (Ordinance No. 1460), by zoning
certain real property more particularly described as Lots 3 and 4 of Subdivision #1150 and
Assessor's Tract 5C in the Southwest Quarter of Section 32, Township 24 North, Range 21
West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, (previously zoned County RA-1, Residential
Apartment) to City R-4 (Two Family Residential), with a Planned Unit Development overlay in
accordance with: the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020, and to provide an effective date. The
motion was seconded.
Wilson answered questions concerning the zoning designation and the internal access road.
Olson moved to table Ordinance 1535 to May 16. The motion was seconded.
The motion failed upon roll call vote with Hafferman, Kenyon, Larson, and Olson voting in
favor, and Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting against.
Gabriel noted the planning board's main concerns were with the density and the stability of the slope.
Gabriel moved to amend condition #16 to state, "A geotechnical study of the slope shall be
conducted prior to the ' i final plat demonstrating its stability as a
building site". The motion was seconded.
Hafferman reiterated it's the wrong time, stating it should be out front and not in the back.
Brett Walcheck, 48 North Engineering, explained an outside geotechnical engineer was hired and
even though the final report is not ready, he emailed the following summary today: "... in our
opinion if the currently planned setbacks from the crest of the slope are at least 20 feet, and if storm
water runoff and roof drains are controlled, the risk of the development affecting the stability of the
slope is minimal". Walcheck stated he doesn't have the exact plan yet, but they are planning on
pulling all of the runoff to the front of the development.
The amendment carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Larson, Olson,
Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Hafferman and Kenyon voting against.
Hafferman commented the geotechnical report should also be addressing the storm water issues and
he feels the Council is putting the cart before the horse.
The main motion as amended carried upon roll vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Larson,
Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Hafferman, Kenyon, and Olson voting
against.

Ef8. RESOLUTION 5008 —PRELIMINARY PLAT— GRANARY RIDGE TOWNHOMES
SUBDIVISION
Valley Ventures, LLC is also requesting preliminary plat approval of Granary Ridge Townhomes
consisting of eight two -unit townhouses on the above mentioned property.
Gabriel moved Resolution 5008, a resolution conditionally approving the preliminary plat of
Granary Ridge Townhomes, more particularly described as Lots 3 and 4 of Subdivision #1150
and Assessor's Tract 5C in the Southwest quarter of Section 32, Township 29 North, Range 21
West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The motion was seconded.
Peters moved to amend condition #16 to state, "A geotechnical study of the slope shall be
conducted prior to the issuanee of a building pemit. final plat demonstrating its stability as a
building site". The motion was seconded.
The amendment carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Kenyon, Larsen,
Olson, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Hafferman voting against.
Peters said he's concerned with the 24 foot roadway, the additional setbacks, the density, and the
lack of a geotechnical study. He stated he would like to recommend a 14-unit configuration rather
than 16 units and let the developers figure out how to do that.
Peters moved the development contain seven two -unit townhouses instead of the proposed
eight. The motion was seconded.
Mayor Kennedv asked Peters if he would make, the motion in the form of addino a rnnditinn t,prnncr,
the Council cannot actually change the proposal.
Wilson suggested Peters move to add a condition limiting the project to seven two -unit townhouses.
Peters moved a condition be added stating, "The project shall be limited to seven two -unit
townhouses". The motion was seconded.
Wilson answered questions.
Hafferman commented he feels the whole plan isn't following any rules or regulations and lye's
concerned that the "first shot out of the barrel was not a geotechnical report to find out what can be
done".
Herron noted the developer's proposal of a 20 foot setback was changed to 10 feet to make room for
a sidewalk. He said it appears the developer had the right idea to begin with and just because we had
certain ideas about sidewalks we're creating a concern with the slope stability.
Mayor Kennedy expressed concern that the Council is trying to redesign the project, adding if there
are specific concerns with the road width, or some other specific issue such as the setback, then deal
with those.
Kalispell City Council Minutes
May 2, 2005
Page �)
Peters said he made the .motion to try to alleviate the potential problem with sloughing by reducing
the density.
Mayor Kennedy said the geotechnical study will determine the slope stability and Council will have a
chance to review the analysis prior to final plat.
Hafferman said depending on the geotechnical study, reducing the number of two -unit townhouses
from S to 7 may not be needed or may not be enough. He stated he's ``not going along with any of
this" because the geotechnical study should have been done first; he doesn't have any information on
what regulation we're dealing with on the road; and he wants to be sure we're not approving
something that should have a further setback than ten feet.
Peters withdrew his motion.
L.arson refused to withdraw his second stating that reducing the number of two -unit townhouses from
S to 7 will address some of the concerns with the bluff.
Herron commented the developer is already asking for less density than allowed and for the Council
to micromanage the proposal doesn't make any sense.
The amendment failed upon roll call vote with Kenyon and Larson voting in favor, and
Atkinson, Gabriel, Hafferman, Herron, Olson, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting against.
Atkinson moved to amend condition #6 to read, "The internal road profile shall comply to City
standards. The boulevard shall be landscaped in accordance with a plan approved by the
Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department". The motion was seconded. (Condition #6
originally read as: "The road profile shall consist of a 24 foot wide roadway, two foot curb and
gutter, a five foot boulevard on the eastern boundary of the access road and a five foot sidewalk
adjoining the five foot boulevard)
Mayor Kennedy asked how much additional roadway the developer would need to accomplish that.
Wilson said with the reduced setback in the rear you're probably looking at another 22 feet which
would be impossible with this basic design.
Olson stated it sounds like this amendment could be a "back breaker" for the developer and he
doesn't know if that's where the Council wants to go. He said on the other hand the Council has to
be "fearful" of what a 24 foot wide private asphalt road will do to the City in the future.
The amendment carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Hafferman, Kenyon, Larson., and
Olson voting in favor, and Gabriel, Herron, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting against.
Mayor Kennedy noted the Council has now created a preliminary plat the developers will not be able
to accomplish and suggested the resolution be tabled to allow the developers to regroup.
Peters moved to table the resolution to May 16. The motion was seconded.

Hafferman moved the new curb box design be incorporated in the 1996 Design Standards
when they are revised and approved in the case that such a curb box may from time to time be
necessary, otherwise the backflow preventers be required on all new construction. The motion
was seconded.
Olson said this .motion isn't going to change any of the old homes; it's only going to work on new
construction.
The motion carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Hafterman, Herron, Kenyon,
Larson, Peters, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Olson voting against.
