SUBJECT Silverbrook Estates phase 2 — Request for preliminary plat extension
MEETING DATE: January 23, 2012
BACKGROUND: This is a request by F & H Land Surveying, Inc., on behalf of the owner of
Silverbrook Estates phase 2, for a two-year extension of the preliminary plat of the subdivision.
Phase 2 includes approximately 167 acres which constitutes the remaining acreage outside of
phases 1 of the 325 acre Silverbrook Estates project site. Phase 2 lies at the southwest corner of
the intersection of Highway 93 and Church Drive. The 167 acres which make up phase 2 can be
described as tract 3 and a portion of tracts 4 and 5 of Certificate of Survey 15896 located within
the NE % of Section 13, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana.
The subdivision would create 196 single-family lots, 90 townhouse lots and 13 commercial lots.
The Kalispell City Council approved phase 2 in March of 2009 subject to 43 conditions. A letter
from F & H Land Surveying, Inc. dated December 16, 2011 requests an extension of the
preliminary plat which is set to expire in February of this year.
Pursuant to section 28.2.06.E.7 of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, the city council may
extend a preliminary plat for an additional two year period. This section of the regulations
requires the developer to provide the planning department with a written request for the extension
30 days prior to the expiration date of the preliminary plat and to document the existence of an
unusual hardship. The planning department received the written request prior to 30 days from the
date the preliminary plat expires and the letter notes the current economic conditions facing the
valley as the unusual hardship.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the resolution and grant a two-year extension to the
preliminary plat approval for Silverbrook Estates phase 2 subdivision would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS:
