Agenda Item No. 2. Hear the Public
Agenda Item No. 3. Ordinance No. 1302 - Janae Moore, et. al -
Zone Change RA-1 to RA-3 - First Reading
Janae Moore, et. al, has made an application to change the
zoning classification of Lots 7 through 12, Block 233,
Kalispell Ot' Addition, from RA-1 to RA-3. The description
encompasses property in the entire !-� Block on the East side of
lst Avenue E.N. between Washington Street and Oregon Street.
Such a change would convert the affected lots from essentially
a duplex classification to a duplex/professional classi-
fication. The bulk and dimensional requirements for the
affected lots would also be changed by the action. The
property is bordered on the North by single family houses and
zoned RA-1; on the South by single family houses, zoned B-2;
on the East by single family houses, zoned B-2 and on the East
by single family houses, zoned R-3. The FRDO Report (KZC-98-

6) was adopted by the Kalispell City -County Planning Board
and Zoning Commission as the Findings of Fact recommending
approval of the requested zone change at the January 12, 1999
meeting. Ordinance No. 1302 is submitted for your
consideration and approval in accordance with the FRDO Report
and the actions of the Zoning Commission. A motion to approve
Ordinance No. 1302, 1st Reading is appropriate.
Agenda Item No. 4. Zone Change - City of Kalispell/RSI LLC - P-1
to R-2 - First Reading.
The City of Kalispell within the last three years has
subdivided the ballfield complex commonly known as Daley Field
and sold one of the lots created to RSI LLC (Rosauers). The
City by Ordinance No. 1219 re -zoned, from P-1, a portion (all
but about 80' on the Westerly boundary) of Daley Field to B-2
to accommodate commercial operations on the parcels created.
The Daley Field Subdivision, Lot 2 of which was purchased by
Rosauers, encompassed the 80' previously referred to, and the
City's offering documents as well as the representations made
to Rosauers during the negotiations, were based upon occupancy
of the property in accordance with the B-2 classification.
The issue involved in the zone change request concerns Federal
Aviation Administration Regulations and their application to
buildings built adjacent to airports. The placement of
buildings on the property to be re -zoned would be in
compliance with FAA Regulations establishing object free areas
for 250 feet each side of the runway center line. Compliance
with FAA Regulations for the anticipated creation of a B-II
(visual approach) airport has been observed in the Rosauers
agreement, as the building is scheduled to be built 270' from
the center line of the runway. Other development upon the
site will be required to meet the same requirements.
Observance of more restrictive "object free area" regulations
will have a substantial adverse affect on the ability of the
City to enhance redevelopment opportunities in the Daley Field
complex, and will not result in significant benefit to the
airport or its users. Ordinance No. 1303 should be passed
changing Lots 1, 2, and 3, Daley Field, from Public, P-1 to
General Business, B-2.
Agenda Item -No. 5. Resolution No. 4446 - Tax Increment Policy -
Amending Resolution No. 3922
At the Council Meeting of January 19, 1999, the Council
considered a revised Tax Increment Policy supplanting a Policy
adopted under Resolution No. 3922 in 1990. The new Policy,
like the old, sets forth a criteria to be applied by the City
in evaluating tax increment assistance requests made by
H:\att\wp\agenda1-99.wpd -2-
developers. However, the new Policy is geared toward assisting
smaller developers through the use of Tax Increment Loans. The
Council discussed disposition of funds repaid pursuant to loan
agreements made under the Policy. The Policy has been altered
designating that funds repaid after the expiration of the
District from which funds were loaned shall bereturnedto the
respective taxing jurisdictions in aliquot proportion to their
respective share of the consolidated levy. A motion should be
made and passed approving Resolution No. 4446.
Agenda Item No. 6. Lincoln Master Plan - Update
The Daily Interlake on Tuesday, January 26, reported that the
Flathead Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)had approved the
Master Plan change requested by Bill Lincoln in the area of
Conrad Drive and Anderson Lane. The Council previously passed
a Resolution of Intention on December 7, 1998 and held a
Public Hearing on January 4, 1999 on the Lincoln application.
The Council determined at the January 4 meeting that final
action on the request would be tabled until the BOCC "voted on
the matter". This office takes such a motion to mean that the
Council deferred further action until final action by the
BOCC. This office made inquiries with the BOCC and requested
a copy of the Resolution passed January 25. The BOCC passed a
resolution of intention (copy of Resolution No. 790L, included
in your packet), not a final resolution. The Resolution
indicates that the BOCC will consider a final resolution at
some later date. In so far as the action by the BOCC was not
"final", this office will await further notice from the BOCC
on the request before placing the Lincoln matter on the agenda
for Council action.
Agenda Item No. 7. Approval of Phase I - Kalispell City Airport
Master Plan
At the Workshop of January 27 the Council received the Phase
I, Feasibility Study for the Kalispell City Airport. The
Council indicated a willingness to request the FAA to fund
Phase II. The Council may, and should if the Council desires,
authorize the Mayor to request, in writing, continuance of the
Airport Study through Phase II. A copy of a draft letter is
included in your packet.

Workshop of January 27
of a problem existing

H:\att\wp\agenda1-99.wpd -3-
Jim Hansz, PWD, informed
at the WWTP requiring
the primary I clarifiers,
which facilitate the movement of sludge to the center of the
clarifiers for re -cycling, utilize a wheel system which
travels on the rim of the clarifiers. During cold weather,
icing on the rim impedes the wheel movement and the sludge
simply falls to the bottom of the clarifiers, resulting in a
plant "up -set." The PWD has determined _that __the problem will
be remedied by installation of a boiler to heat and circulate
a glycol solution through an industrial hose imbedded in the
rim. The project is estimated to cost around $30,000. A
motion authorizing an advertisement for bids would be
appropriate.
Agenda Item No. 9. Confirmation of Jack Fallon - Member at Large
City/County Planning Board
Jack Fallon has expressed an interest in serving in a position
on the City/County Planning Board. Mr. Fallon lives within
the planning jurisdictional area and is otherwise qualified
for the position. As a member -at -large, the Board of County
Commissioners and the City Council must approve the
appointment. A motion to approve the appointment is in order.
Agenda Item No. 10. Update on City Manager Selection
