Johnson stated that there is a host of regulations from
regulatory bodies that would cover that issue, not just
floodplain.
MOTION Garberg moved and Rice seconded to adopt staff report FPP-00-
2 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend
that the Board of Commissioners approve the preliminary plat
for the expansion of the Rocky Mountain Hi RV Park subject to
the conditions as outlined in the report. On a roll call vote all
members voted Aye. The motion to recommend approval of the

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.

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. The sign and oil drums have been

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.

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.

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.

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.
