The board took a short break and returned at 8:45 p.m. FLATHEAD INDUSTRIES A request by Flathead Industries for a conditional use permit to CONDITIONAL USE allow the construction of an eight -unit apartment complex on PERMIT the east side of Fifth Avenue West. STAFF REPORT Wilson gave a presentation on staff report KCU-99-12 in which staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. She stated that this is a joint venture with the City for handicapped and disabled housing units. She noted that because this is for disabled and handicapped persons, the parking is significantly decreased from two per unit to one per four units, thus the condition requiring that these units are used solely by the handicapped and disabled. Staff would like to delete condition #3 as it is covered in the design. There has been no opposition to the project received by staff. Mann asked and Wilson answered that there is no parking allowed on the street. Staff is recommending that the alley be paved to mitigate the traffic. Wilson explained that there would be very little increase in traffic due to the type of use. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak in favor of the proposal. PROPONENTS John Constenius, spoke in favor of the application stating that there is funding from three different sources to start this project. They have gone to particular efforts to have the design match the neighborhood. There is little potential for the need for parking or any increased traffic expected. There are vans that will assist the clients and they have been coordinating with Eagle Transit for transportation. Peter Newman, CEO Flathead Industries, spoke in favor of the project stating that they believe this is the best design possible to meet their needs. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. Kalispell City -County Planning Board February 8, 2000 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 11 BOARD DISCUSSION Garberg stated that this is an excellent project, he has previously been a neighbor to Flathead Industries and they are excellent neighbors. Johnson asked and was answered that they agreed with all of the conditions. MOTION Mann moved and Hines seconded to adopt staff report KCU-99- 12 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend that the Kalispell City Council approve the conditional use permit to allow the construction of an eight -unit apartment complex subject to the conditions as outlined in the report and amended by staff. On a roll call vote all members voted Aye. The motion to recommend approval of the conditional use permit passed unanimously. ESI BROADCASTING A request by ESI Broadcasting for a conditional use permit to CONDITIONAL USE allow the operation of a television broadcast station in an PERMIT existing building located at 65 Eighth Avenue West North. Johnson removed himself from the board due to a conflict. STAFF REPORT Wilson gave a presentation on staff report KCU-00-1 in which staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit subject to seven conditions. She stated that this is an existing building and the area is zoned light industrial. Wilson stated that the regulations are somewhat dated, expecting television and radio broadcasting would require some large communications tower. This broadcast station would use satellite dishes. The parking is the biggest challenge of this proposal. There was one person that questioned the application but those concerns must have been addressed as they have not communicated further and are not at the meeting. This project will improve the property and the area. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS Lynn Flemming, General Manager, spoke in favor of the application. She stated that ESI Montana wants to add a station to the Valley, KESI channel 21 that is oriented to the valley. This location allows an ideal link to their microwave tower on Lone Pine. She expressed thanks to the board and staff for their efforts. Jean Johnson spoke in favor of the application stating that the applicants want conditions three and four deleted. The applicants are leasing the building and based on the traffic and the cost involved they do not want to have to pave the alley. Given that they are leasing the building, they should not have to paint the building.

Box 1916 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406) 755-7675 Technical Assistance: J. Constenius Architects, Ltd. John Constenius 210 Park Hill Drive Whitefish, MT 59937 (406) 862-4818 B. Summary of Request: This is a request is for a conditional use permit to construct an eight -unit apartment complex for developmentally disabled people in an RA-2, High Density Residential Apartment, zoning district. This complex is to provide independent living opportunities for people within the community who have special needs. Two four-plex units are proposed which will face each other over an interior courtyard. Two one -bedroom and two two -bedroom units are proposed in each four-plex. The design of the complex and buildings are intended to complement the neighborhood with single -story construction of the buildings, porches and a meandering sidewalk. Parking is provided at the rear of the property off of the alley. C. Size and Location: This property contains three city lots which total approximately one-half acre or 21,300 square feet and are located on the east side of Fifth Avenue West approximately 100 feet south of Second Street West in Kalispell. The property where these units are proposed can be described as Lot 10 and Lot A, Amended Lots 8 and 9, Block 51, Kalispell Original located in Section 18, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. D. Existing Land Use and Zoning: This property is currently undeveloped and is zoned RA-2, High Density Residential Apartment. Density allowed under this zone is 6,000 square feet for the first duplex and 1,500 square feet for each additional unit. The maximum density permitted on this site would be 10 units. All of the buildings would be under the height limit and all of the setbacks have been met. E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: This is a generally residential area that has mostly single-family homes in the immediate area. North: Single-family homes, RA-2 zoning South: Single-family homes, RA-2 zoning East: Single-family homes, RA-2 zoning West: Single-family homes, RA-2 zoning F. Master Plan Designation: The Kalispell City -County Master Plan Map designates this area as high density residential which anticipates eight to 40 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project is in compliance with the land use designation of the master plan map and furthers the goals of the master plan by providing for a diversity of housing needs in the community. G. Utilities/Services: Sewer service: City of Kalispell Water service: City of Kalispell Solid Waste: City of Kalispell Gas: Montana Power Company Electric: Pacific Power Phone: CenturyTel Police: City of Kalispell Fire: Kalispell Fire Department Schools: School District #S, Kalispell EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST The application is reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. 1. Site Suitability: a. Adequate Useable Space: The site has adequate space to meet the zoning density, setback, and parking requirements as well as to provide for adequate circulation and a community area within the central area of the site. b. Adequate Access: Access to the site is by way of an existing City street, Fifth Avenue West, a paved street with curb and gutter and sidewalks. However, residents and visitors to the complex will generally access the site from the alley along the west side of the property. C. Environmental Constraints: The site is level, and no floodplain, surface water, wetland, or hydric soils are mapped on the site. An engineered drainage plan will need to be prepared and submitted to the Kalispell Public Works Department which addresses the on -site retention of stormwater as well as the extension of water and sewer to the site. No significant environmental constraints are apparent on the property. 2 2. Appropriateness of design: a. Parking and site circulation: The site plan shows eight parking spaces within the parking lot located on the east end of the site, two of which are handicapped spaces. The Kalispell Zoning Regulations require one parking space per five dwellings plus one space per employee for homes for disabled or handicapped people. Typical apartment buildings would require 2.5 spaces per dwelling, a much higher ratio. This facility would be limited to disabled and handicapped people. With regard to the parking area, a small apron should be provided on the west boundary of the lot to provide a back-up space. Within the site, a meandering sidewalk provides pedestrian circulation and connects to the sidewalk in the front of the property. Van and bus access can be obtained directly from Fifth Avenue West or from the alley to the rear. The staff would recommend that the applicants coordinate bus pick-up with Eagle Transit and provide some arrangement to accommodate their service. b. Open Space: No specific open space requirements exist in the zoning regulations for a development of this type. The zoning requirements for setbacks and lot coverage have been met. There are landscaped lawn areas to be developed within the site that serve as a communal area and yards. There is adequate open space within the site to accommodate landscaping and the proposed lawn areas C. FencingScreening f Landscaping: The site plan proposes landscaping within the site and there is a landscape island proposed to be located near the front of the complex. There are mature trees along Fifth Avenue West. Fencing currently exists along the north and south boundaries of the property that serves as a privacy fence. Additional fencing may be provided with the development of the site as outlined in the application along these same boundaries. d. Signa: One low profile sign would be located near the front of the complex at the entrance within a small landscape island. The zoning allows one sign 24 square feet in size and a height not exceed six feet. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Schools: This site is within School District #5. No impact is anticipated from the proposed senior housing project. b. Parks and Recreation: City parks are generally not within walking distance of the site with the nearest park being at Elrod School. There are some open space and recreation areas provided within the site, however, and impacts to the City are anticipated to be minimal. C. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed residential facility. 3 d. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed residential facility. Building access as well as the number and placement of fire hydrants will need to meet Uniform Fire Code requirements and be reviewed and approved by the fire chief. e. Water and sewer: Water and sewer will be provided by the City and the connections would need to comply with the requirements of the Public Works Department. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City. Trash enclosures are placed on the east side of the alley and will be used by the residents of the facility. g. Streets: Traffic generation from the development is estimated at 24 average daily trips, based on estimates for retirement housing in the Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation manual. The proposed parking lot for the apartment building is in the alley to the east which is not paved. Staff would recommend that the alley serving the parking lot be paved since it would provide the primary access to the site. 4. Neighborhood Impacts: Development and land use impacts of the proposal are anticipated to be typical of other properties in the immediate neighborhood. Traffic generation for disabled, as estimated above, would be less than that of a typical apartment building. Except during construction, no significant impacts are anticipated from noise, vibration, or dust. No impact from smoke, fumes, gas, odors, or inappropriate hours of operation are anticipated beyond the norm of an urban density neighborhood. There may be some concerns from property owners about the impact apartments may have on property values. However, this district is zoned for apartments and the use is appropriate and anticipated in this district. A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the site approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. As of this writing, staff has received no comments from neighbors on the proposal. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The proposal is compatible with the immediate area which is along a collector, Fifth Avenue West and is centrally located. The zoning is RA-2 High Density Residential Apartment and the master plan anticipates this type of development in the area. The proximity of this site to commercial services which are within walking distance make this an ideal location of this type of development. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated. As previously mentioned, the proposal is compatible with the neighborhood, and the development and land use impacts would be typical of that anticipated for the area. 4 Staff recommends that the Planning Board adopt the staff report #KCU-00-12 as findings of fact and recommend to the City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposal will be developed in substantial conformance with the approved site plan and other application materials. That the conditions associated with this permit shall be met prior to occupancy of the apartment building. 2. The apartment building shall be managed so that they are occupied only by disabled and handicapped people in order for the proposed parking lot to comply with zoning standards. 3. That a small apron be provided along the west side of the parking lot to provide an adequate back-up area. 4. The proposal shall comply with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards for water, sewer, storm drainage, and other applicable facilities which shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of a building permit. 5. That the alley behind the properties and serving the parking lot be paved in accordance with a plan approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. 6. The fire access and suppression system with regard to the location of the buildings, number and placement of fire hydrants as well as related construction be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Fire Department. 7. That the landscaping be substantially as proposed on the site plan and coordinated with the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department. 8. Coordinate a plan with Eagle Transit for access that would allow them to provide bus service to the residents of the facility. 9. That the conditional use permit shall terminate 18 months from the date of authorization of commencement if the authorized activity has not begun. 5 /s 6ARCHITECTS, LTD - December 22, 1999 City of Kalispell Planning Board & City Council 723 51h Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Re: New Apartments for Flathead Industries 5ch Avenue West, Kalispell, MT Dear Board and Council Members, 210 Park Hill Drive Whitefish Montana 59937-3119 406/862-4818 Fax 406/862-0750 DEC 2 2 1c-99 F. k. D. Q. Throughout its history, Flathead Industries has invested in the community to better serve our clients. Our motto "Creating Opportunities for People With Disabilities" is one, that we strive every day to fulfill. Since our founding, we have provided housing for our clients in group home and apartment settings. The city of Kalispell, through its Development Office, has been instrumental in the success of our program. The project before you, once again, demonstrates the community of Kalispell's support of Flathead Industries and our clients. Three of our original, older apartments need to be upgraded in terms of handicapped accessibility and consolidated to help us provide better services. To further that goal, Flathead Industries has purchased three lots on 5th Avenue West. Blighted structures on the property have been removed to make ready for construction. The city has graciously allowed us to sell our existing apartments which they financed and reinvest the proceeds in our proposed facility. From a design standpoint, our goal is to integrate the buildings into the existing neighborhood just as we try to integrate our clients into the community at large. We recognized the beautiful street-scape of mature shade trees and smaller turn of the century housing along Fifth Avenue as an asset. Our design replicates the smaller scale, pitched roofs and porches seen on many of the neighboring homes. American Ins�rtu �.=rc�.rtects In order to present a buiding facade in keeping with the adjoining homes, the eight units were broken into two groups of four. The narrow end of each four-plex faces the street. The two -building groups relate to each other across a central courtyard with a pedestrian circulation spine. Each individual unit features its own porch to encourage social interaction among the neighboring occupants. In addition, fencing and landscaping will be used to further reduce scale and reinforce the connection to the neighborhood street-scape. Flathead Industries is proud to offer this innovative project for your consideration. We thank you once again for your support over the years and look forward to continuing our partnership in community service with you.

Surrounding land uses are residential with the exception of a thrift store located at the corner of Second Street West and Fifth Avenue West. 2b. Lot dimensions depicted on drawing A-1. 2c. Lot is essentially flat. 2d. Lot is vacant of any structures. 2e. New structures are depicted on drawing A-1. 2f. No existing structures. 2g. Use of structures and open areas depicted on drawing A-1. 3a. Traffic flow and control Busy 5th Avenue West is an important consideration in planning traffic flow on the property. For that reason, auto traffic will access the site through the alley off of 2"d Street West or 3rd Street West which are, by comparison, lightly traveled. 3b. Access to and circulation within the property The primary design concept is to visually integrate the buildings into the fabric of the existing neighborhood. Homes in this original portion of Kalispell tend to be smaller to fit the existing narrow lots. Typically, many homes have pitched roofs and porches on the street facade. Utilizing a central circulation spine through the middle of the property allows the majority of the units to face each other. A residential scale consistent with the neighborhood is maintained by units facing the street. Each street unit presents a harmonious facade with a porch. 3c. Off-street parking and loading Unlike most apartments residents few developmentally disabled residents drive. On -street parking is not permitted on 51h Avenue West. Parking will be for Flathead Industries staff who conduct training in living skills and assist in certain phases of everyday life. Most residents will have daytime employment. Transportation will typically be by passenger vans which will pick up and drop off residents at the back of the property. Access will be through the alley. Flathead Industries staff, visiting family and guests may also utilize the on site parking off the alley. 3d. Refuse and service areas Refuse is picked up by the city in containers placed along the east side of the alley. 3e. Utilities All utilities will be underground 3f. Screening and buffering In order to provide privacy and security for our residents and our neighbors, screen fences will be constructed on the north and south boundaries. Height will be 78 inches as allowed by zoning except in front setback. The circulation spine and porch location focus outdoor living, social interaction and other activities at the center of the site well away from neighboring homes. 3g. Signs, yards and other open spaces Picket fences are used along 51h Avenue West to define the front yard and reinforce the visual connection to the neighborhood. They also channel access across the property through the center spine leaving the side yard spaces as landscaped buffer space. Signage will be a single name and address sign front and center on the site. Each unit will have an address number located to the side of the entry. 3h. Height, bulk and location of structures To fulfill the concept of integration with the neighborhood, building scale has been kept small. Clapboard siding, shingle roofs and simulated divided lite windows will be utilized to maintain residential scale. The circulation spine concept allows the perceived size of the building to remain in keeping with it's neighbors. 3i. Location of proposed open space uses See A, B, C above for parking and circulation spine which address these concerns. 3j. Hours and manner of operation Hours are that of a typical Kalispell working family. 3k. Noise, light, dust, odors, fumes and vibration Use is totally in keeping with other residential uses in the neighborhood.
