SUBJECT Northlands Subdivision Phase 4 — Request for one-year preliminary plat extension
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2011
BACKGROUND: This is a request by 48 North Engineering on behalf of the Bridgeland Development,
LLC, the owners of Northlands Subdivision Phase 4, for a one-year extension of the preliminary plat of
the subdivision.
Phase 4 of the Northland Subdivision includes a 5.8 acre strip of land located south of Four Mile Drive
and north of Northland subdivision phases 1-3. The Meadows, North Haven Heights, and Summit Ridge
subdivisions make up the eastern boundary of the project. Phase 4 would create 19 single family
residential lots and was approved on November 5, 2007 by the Kalispell City Council subject to 23
conditions.
In September of 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 November 5, 2011 to file the final plat. Linder current law, this plat is set to expire at that
time. The developer has requested the additional 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 -6 10 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.
The effective date of HB 522 is October 1, 2011. Northlands Subdivision Phase 4 expires on November
5, 2011 approximately one month after 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 is not reflected in the city's
subdivision regulations, 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 t1-1 he
preliminary plat approval for Northlands Subdivision Phase 4 would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES -4a, .As suggested by the city council.
Respectfully submitted,

Please consider the following letter as a request on behalf of Bridgeland
Development LLC. to obtain an additional one-year extension for the preliminary
plat approval of Northland Subdivision Phase 4.
On behalf of the letter that was dated July 27, 2011 from the city of Kalispell
Planning Department regarding Montana Legislature adopted House Dili 522, it is
the request of Bridgeland Development LLc to request this additional one-year
extension. This extension is in regards to the Kalispell City council passed
resolution no. 5248 approving the preliminary plat of Northland subdivision
Phase 4, more particularly described as a 5.8 acre portion of assessor's tract 1
located in Section 1, Township 28 Forth, Range 22 west, P.M.I11., Flathead

The timeline extension is being requested due to the economic downturn and the
slow down in the housing market. It is our understanding that the developer does
have full intensions to proceed forward with final platting prior to the expiration of
the extended timeline.
Thank you for your time and consideration regarding the requested timeline
extension. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (406-
