REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Conrad, Senior Planner
Charlie Harball, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT West View Estates Phase 4 — Request for two year preliminary plat extension
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2012
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Sands Surveying, Inc. on behalf of Owl Corporation for a two-
year extension for phase 4 of the preliminary plat of West View Estates, Phase 4. The West View Estates
subdivision is a six phase residential subdivision approved on May 5, 2003 by the Kalispell City Council
subject to 20 conditions.
West View Estates is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of West Reserve Drive and
Stillwater Road. The subdivision includes approximately 60 acres with a zoning designation of R-3,
Residential, on 50 acres and RA-1, Residential Apartment, on 10 acres located in the southwest corner of
the subdivision. The West View Estates subdivision includes 129 single-family lots and one 10-acre
parcel that would later be developed most likely with duplex, townhouse or multi -family dwellings.
The Kalispell City Council granted final plat approval for phases 1 and 2 on August 21, 2006 and phase 3
on July 20, 2009. Phase 4 would plat 8 single family residential lots along Lorries Road, shown on the
attached preliminary plat.
The Kalispell Subdivision Regulations require subsequent phases to be filed within two years of filing the
final plat for the previous phase. Phase 3 was filed in July of 2009, in 2011 the developer requested a
one-year extension from the city council which was granted and gave the developer until July 20, 2012 to
file the final plat for phase 4.
The Kalispell Subdivision Regulations, section 2.06.E.7, allows the subdivider to request a two-year
extension of the preliminary plat, or a phase of the preliminary plat approval deadline from the city
council. The two-year extension request would give the developer until July 20, 2014 to file the final plat
for phase 4 or appeal to the city council for one final extension not to exceed two years.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the resolution and grant a two-year extension to the
preliminary plat approval for phase 4 of West View Estates Subdivision would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
Respectfully submitted,
Sean Conrad Charlie VHlball
Senior Planner Interim City Manager

RE: Two year extension for West View Estates, Phase 4, Preliminary Plat
Dear Mayor Fisher and City Councilors:
On behalf of our client Mark Owens and Owl Corporation., we are requesting a two year
extension for the Preliminary Plat approval of West View Estates Phase 4 which is
located north of Glacier High School near the intersection of West Reserve and Stillwater
Road. The final plat of Phase 3 was approved by approved by Kalispell City Council on
July 20, 2009. The City Council granted a one year extension in May of 2011 extending
the approval to July 20, 2012. As we were working with the two year approval window
between phases, we have only had three year thus far for Phase 4 and is the reason we are
requesting the two year extension.
The applicant has invested substantially in the West View development but at present
there is still a large supply of lots available and it does not make sense to proceed with
the next phase. We are hopeful that market conditions will improve over the next two
years thereby reducing the supply lots so we can proceed with phasing.
Should you have any questions regarding the requested extension please contact me at
755-6481.
Sincerely,
Eric H. Mulcahy, AICP
