REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Approval - Lee's Meridian Business Park
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2000
BACKGROUND: This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a seven lot
commercial subdivision on approximately 3.548 acres. The property is located on the
on the west side of Meridian Road at the western terminus of Center Street. A request
for annexation into the city and an initial zoning of B-2 has been filed concurrently
with the preliminary plat. The property currently has a single family dwelling, barn
and shed on it and is zoned County R-1, single family. The master plan designates
this property as Urban Residential, however, it is contiguous to other commercially
zoned and developed property and appears to be a logical extension of the existing
commercial area.
You will note that the subdivision design will create a new four-way intersection at
the corner of Meridian Road and West Center Street. Public works recommended that
a traffic analysis be done to assess potential impacts to this intersection. At the
planning board meeting, there was discussion regarding traffic analysis (please see
the attached minutes from the planning board meeting), and the board deleted that
recommendation. Both the public works staff and the planning staff believe this is an
important issue and one that should be addressed by the developer at the time the
actual roadway design is considered. Four additional conditions of approval were
attached to the plat based on a recommendation from the staff that address buffering
between the commercial subdivision and residences along the south boundary,
limiting rail road access and a roadway easement to the south for potential future
extension.
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board held a public hearing at their regular
meeting of April 11, 2000 and have recommended that the city council approve the
proposed preliminary plat subject to the conditions as amended. The motion passed
unanimously.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the resolution approving the preliminary
plat subject to conditions would be appropriate.

Re: Preliminary Plat Approval for Lee's Meridian Business Park
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board held a public hearing at their regular meeting of
April 11, 2000 to consider a request by Gwenn Lee for preliminary plat approval of a seven
lot commercial subdivision on approximately 3.548 acres. The property is located on the
on the west side of Meridian Road at the western terminus of Center Street.
Narda Wilson with the Flathead Regional Development Office presented the staff report
KPP-00-03 and recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to conditions. Staff
requested amendments to the conditions by adding four additional conditions. A request
for annexation and initial zoning of B-2 has been filed concurrently with this request and is
being forwarded with the preliminary plat for council consideration
Dan Henderson, Gerald Young and Tom Cowan spoke in favor of the proposal. At the
public hearing Becky Bower spoke in opposition to the proposal and a letter of opposition
by Thomas Woytus was submitted.
After the board discussed the project a motion was made to adopt staff report KPP-00-03 as
findings of fact and recommend that the city council approve the proposed preliminary plat
subject to the conditions as amended by the staff and this board. The motion passed
unanimously. Attachment A lists the recommended conditions of approval.
Please schedule this matter for the May 1, 2000 regular city council meeting. You may
contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Flathead Regional Development Office if you have
any questions regarding this matter.

SUBDIVISION REPORT #KPP-00-3
APRIL 4, 2000
A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council for a
seven lot commercial subdivision in a B-2 zoning district. A public hearing has been
scheduled before the planning board for April 11, 2000 beginning at 7:00 PM, in the
Kalispell City Council Chambers in Kalispell.
BACKGROUND
This property proposed for annexation and initial zoning of B-2 which has been filed
concurrently with this request for preliminary plat approval.

B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for this
development is located on the west side of Meridian Road at the western terminus
of Center Street approximately 200 feet south of Appleway Drive. The property
proposed for subdivision can be described as Assessor's Tract 12 located in
Section 13, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana.
D. Size: Total area: 3.548 acres
Area in Lots: 2.74 acres
Area in Roads: 0.72 acres
E. Nature of the Request: The applicant is proposing annexation into the city of
Kalispell and a zoning assignment of B-2, General Business, for the purpose of
doing a seven lot commercial subdivision. Currently this property is residentially
zoned, R-1, and is in the County zoning jurisdiction. The commercial subdivision
has an internal roadway that will serve the individual lots with the exception of
the existing driveway for proposed Lot 7 which accesses directly onto Meridian
Road. The internal roadway would be constructed to City standards that aligns
with Center Street to the east. The water, sewer and storm drain systems would
also be constructed in accordance with City standards. The roadway would be
dedicated as a City street when the final plat is recorded.
F. Existing Land Use: Currently a single family home exists on the property which
will remain in tact and will be located on proposed Lot 7. A small shed and a barn
structure are located behind the house to the west on proposed Lot 6 and will be
removed prior to development.
G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The character of the area can be described as
a mix of commercial, residential and industrial. Center Street lies immediately to
the east and provides a strong commercial anchor in the area. To the north is
more commercial development with more intensive uses at the corner of Idaho
Street and Meridian Road. Established residential area are predominate to the
south of this property.
North: Burlington Northern railroad tracks and small residences with
commercial further to the north, City RA-1 and B-2 zoning
South: Residences and limited commercial, County R-1, City R-5 and
B-2 zoning
East: Recreational equipment sales, retail, general commercial and
office uses, City B-2 and I-1 zoning
West: City stormwater detention pond and Stillwater Forest
Products mill (idle), County I-2 zoning
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of the area is
commercial to the east and the north with residential and commercial to the
south. Some industrial uses are also present in the area with the lumberyard and
the idle mill. The properties to the north and east have been more intensively
developed because of the availability of public services and access to major
roadways. Highway 2 lies to the north approximately one quarter of a mile with
intensive commercial uses at the intersection of Meridian Road and Highway 2.
H. Relation to Master Plan Map: This property lies within the Kalispell City -County
Planning jurisdiction. The master plan map designates this area as Urban
Residential. This subdivision and the associated commercial zoning does not
comply with the master plan map designation, however, the proximity of this
property to Meridian Road, Center Street and Highway 2 create large traffic
volumes in an area that currently has a lot of commercial uses. Commercial
development of this property may be more appropriate than residential use and a
reasonable argument can be made for the commercial designation in the area
including the fact that this is an expansion of the existing commercial
development.
I. Utilities: This subdivision will have full City services and facilities provided by
the City of Kalispell.
Water: City of Kalispell
Sewer: City of Kalispell
Electricity: Flathead Electric Coop (underground)
Telephone: CenturyTel (underground)

Solid Waste: City of Kalispell

Police. City of Kalispell
REVIEW AND FINDINGS OF FACT
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with State statutory
review criteria and the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Fire: Access to the subdivision will be by way of a new internal roadway that will
be a paved City street and each lot will have individual access. Fire hydrants will
be installed in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code within the Subdivision. A
water main is in the immediate area that will be extended into the subdivision
and adequate water pressure can be provided to the subdivision for the hydrants.
Fire risk in this area can be considered generally low because of its urban location
and good access.
Flooding and topography: This property is designated as being located in
Floodzone C according FIRM Panel # 1805. Zone C is an area which is not prone
to flooding. The topography of the site is generally level with limited vegetation
since the property was used primarily for grazing purposes in the past. No
significant risks to health and safety are present which might be associated with
the flooding or topography of the site.
Roads: Primary access to the site will be from Meridian Road to a new internal
access road which will generally be an extension of West Center Street. This new
roadway will align with Center Street and create a four way stop at this
intersection. The new roadway will end in a cul-de-sac and will be constructed to
City standards. The Kalispell Public Works Department is recommending that the
developer submit a traffic analysis assessing the impacts of full development of
this site concurrently with the utility submittals. The analysis should include the
anticipated impacts to the roadways adjacent to the area.
Pedestrian Access: A new bike and pedestrian trail is in the final stages of design
which will be located north and parallel to the Burlington Northern right-of-way in
an east / west direction. The paved trail will extend approximately one mile to the
west, past the warehouses on the south side of Highway 2 and connect to an
existing gravel trail that end approximately 300 feet east of Spring Creek Road /
Dern Road west of Kalispell. To the north of the subdivision site, there will be a
crossing at the railroad tracts which will most likely consist of a five foot wide
sidewalk. That sidewalk will connect to the asphalt trail that will run to the west.
The staff is recommending that the developer coordinate a sidewalk along the
west side of Meridian Road for the length of the subdivision that connects with the
railroad crossing. Currently the west side of Meridian Road has a curb and
3
gutter, but no sidewalk. Typically, a five foot sidewalk with a five foot landscape
buffer would comply with City standards. However, the installation of a sidewalk
along this section of roadway should be coordinate through the Kalispell Parks
and Recreation Department so that a good transition connecting the two
pedestrian paths is ensured.
B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat:
The site is not mapped within any big game winter range and does not provide
significant habitat to wildlife although there may be some limited small animals
that live in this area. This property is within an area of Kalispell that can be
considered to be on the urban fringes. No significant impacts to wildlife or wildlife
habitat can be anticipated as a result of this subdivision.
C. Effects on the Natural Environment:
Insignificant impacts to the natural environment can be anticipated as a result of
this subdivision since there is no surface water in the immediate area which
might be impacted such as wetland, streams, rivers, steep slopes or other
environmentally sensitive areas. Nor does this property provide any type of
significant wildlife habitat. There is no obvious high groundwater in the area
which may be effected or which might be impacted by this development.
The terrain can be described as generally level. Drainage will be handled through
an engineered plan using the existing storm drainage system in the area. There
is a storm drain directly to the north of this site which empties into a detention
basin to the west. This detention basin provides for settling and the water is
eventually discharged into Ashley Creek. An engineered drainage plan will be
provided to the Kalispell Public Works Department as part of the overall utility
design and submittal for the project. .
D. Effects on Local Services:
Sewer and Water: The City of Kalispell has water and sewer mains which he in
both Center Street and Meridian Road. These utilities will be extended into the
subdivision to serve the individual lots. The new mains will need to be designed
in accordance with Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards and reviewed
and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department.
Roads: An internal subdivision road which aligns with West Center Street will be
extended into the subdivision to serve the new lots. The roadway will be designed
in accordance with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards. The new
roadway which will end in a cul-de-sac to the west will create a four-way
intersection at Meridian Road and Center Street. At full development, traffic
generated from this subdivision may be substantial. No specific traffic counts
have been provided in the environmental assessment since the amount of traffic
generated from the subdivision will largely depend on the type of uses which
rd
ultimately occupy the individual lots. Because of the potential impacts at this
four way intersection, the Kalispell Public Works Department is recommending
that the developer submit a traffic analysis with the utility submittals which
assess the highest impacts that might be anticipated from this subdivision.
Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School District #5. This
subdivision will have no impact on the school district with regard to enrollment
because it is commercial in nature. It may, however, contribute to the school
district budget with additional tax revenue once fully developed.
Parks: This subdivision is not subject to parkland dedication because it is
commercial in nature. Landscaping within the subdivision would be limited to a
five foot separation between the sidewalk and the curb. At the time the lots
within the subdivision are developed, there are landscaping requirements that
would be addressed at that time and would be dependent on the amount of
parking required.
Police Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Police
Department. According to the Kalispell Police Department, they will be able to
adequately serve this area.
Fire Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Fire Department.
The location and placement of fire hydrants will be in accordance with the
specifications of the Uniform Fire Code. Fire access to the subdivision will
generally be good by way of a new, internal access road to the lots within the
subdivision.
Refuse Disposal: The subdivision can be served by the City of Kalispell for solid
waste disposal or through a private hauler. Adequate space at the County landfill
is available for the solid waste, which will be generated by the subdivision.
Medical Services: Flathead Regional Hospital is approximately one mile from the
site. Ambulance services are available to serve this subdivision and access is
good.
E. Effects on Agriculture and Agricultural Water Users Facilities:
The soils in this area have limited agricultural value because of its urban
proximity. This property has been used as pastureland in the past. This
subdivision will have an insignificant impact on agriculture in the Valley and is
more valuable for this type of development because of its close proximity to
Kalispell and associated services and the lack of obvious development constraints.
5
F. Compliance with Master Plan
The Kalispell City -County Master Plan Map designates this area as Urban
Residential. As previously discussed, this development is commercial and does
not comply with the residential designation on the map. However, because of the
proximity to other commercial development in the area, the volume of traffic
adjacent to this development and the proximity to the tracts, this property may be
more appropriately developed commercially than residentially. Additionally, the
master plan encourages new commercial areas to be an expansion of established
commercial areas rather than the creation of new commercial centers. This
subdivision provides expansion of an existing commercial area and furthers the
goals and objectives of the master plan in this regard.
G. Compliance with Zoning Regulations
The zoning for this property will be B-2, General Commercial, upon annexation of
the property. All of the lots within the subdivision exceed the minimum lot size
requirement of 7,500 square feet for this zoning district. The proposed
subdivision complies with the zoning for this property.
H. Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations
The preliminary plat can be found to comply with the state and local subdivision
regulations.

County Planning Board adopt staff report KPP-00-3 as findings of fact and recommend
that the Kalispell City Council approve Lee's Meridian Business Park subject to the
following conditions:
1. That subdivision shall be in compliance with the preliminary plat, which shall
govern the general location of the lots, roadways and improvements.

3. That the internal roadway shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the City of Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards and that a letter be
obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department verifying their construction.

accordance with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards and shall be
reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department prior to final
plat approval.
6. That a traffic analysis shall be submitted to the Kalispell Public Works
Department concurrently with the utility submitted which uses a model based on
the most intensive uses of the property which might be allowed under the
commercial zoning and that alternatives for mitigation of the potential traffic
impacts be identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
LEE'S MERIDIAN BUSINESS PARK - ENGINEER'S REPORT
WATER, SEWER & DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
SEWAGE COLLECTION & TREATMENT:
An extension of the City of Kalispell's public sewage collection system is being
proposed to serve the seven (7) lots in Lee's Meridian Business Park. There is
presently an 18-inch sewer main in Meridian Road, with a manhole at the intersection
of Meridian Road and West Center Street, and an 18-inch main running east from this
manhole along West Center Street. There is also an 8-inch sewer main that crosses
Meridian Road and terminates on the west side of the road at the proposed entrance
to Lee's Meridian Business Park. This existing 8-inch main will be extended west
along the new roadway and will serve the seven (7) lots being proposed.
Although the exact types of businesses that will occupy the proposed business park
are not known at this time, for design purposes, the maximum average daily
wastewater flow is estimated to be 400 gpd per lot. The proposed 8-inch main
extension and the existing City sewer mains have more than sufficient capacity to
handle the additional wastewater flow from the seven (7) lots being proposed.
Wastewater treatment will subsequently occur at the City of Kalispell's Advanced
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant was designed for an average flow of 3.1
millions gallons per day and is presently running at about 60% of design capacity.
The additional 2,800 gpd from Lee's Meridian Business Park will have very little
impact on treatment plant capacity.
The sewer main extension will be installed by the owner/developer and will be
owned, operated and maintained by the City of Kalispell following construction and
testing.
Water to the proposed lots in Lee's Meridian Business Park will be provided by an
extension of the City of Kalispell's public water system. There is an existing 16-inch
water main in Meridian Road that reduces in size to 12" at the intersection of
Meridian Road and West Center Street. There are also 4-inch and 14-inch water
mains running east along West Center Street. The existing 12-inch main will be
tapped in Meridian Road and a new 8-inch water main will be installed along the
proposed roadway in Lee's Meridian Business Park.
Lee's Meridian Business Park - Page 1 of 2 Pages
The maximum average daily water demand, for "domestic" uses, is estimated to be
400 gpd/lot. The water demand for irrigation is estimated to be 800 gpd/lot based on
5,000 sq. ft. of lawn or landscape area per lot and an application rate of 2" per week.
The water system will be designed to provide fire protection in accordance with
Uniform Fire Code requirements.
The City's existing water supply system has sufficient capacity to handle the
projected water use demands of the proposed business park.
All water system improvements being proposed will be installed by the
owner/developer and will be owned, operated and maintained by the City of Kalispell
following construction and testing.
STORMWATER DRAINAGE:
The proposed road will be paved and will have curbs and gutters. There will be a
high point in the new road near the common property line between Lots 2 & 3, and
the road will be graded to drain to the east and west. Curb inlets will be installed
near the entrance off Meridian Road and in the proposed cul-de-sac where runoff
water will be collected and conveyed via new storm drain piping to the City's existing
storm drain system.
There is an existing 60-inch concrete storm drain line that parallels the north property
line. This line discharges into a large concrete stormwater detention structure located
between the Marion and Somers Branches of the Burlington Northern Railroad. This
concrete detention structure is designed to removed settleable and floatable solids
before the water is discharged to Spring Creek and eventually to Ashley Creek. This
existing stormwater drainage system has sufficient capacity to handle the additional
runoff water from the proposed subdivision.
Although a small amount of runoff water may flow from the "backs" of Lots 1 - 5 to
the railroad right-of-way, the lots will be graded to direct the vast majority of runoff
to the new roadway. Runoff water will then flow along roadside curb & gutters to
new curb inlets, as mentioned above, and eventually to the City's stormwater
collection and treatment system.
There are no stream or drainage crossings proposed, nor will any runoff water be
discharge directly to State waters.
