Consent Agenda - Included in your packet is the Consent Agenda, consisting of the following: A) The Council Minutes of the Regular City Council Meeting of February 1, 1999 is included for your review and approval. B) The Approval of Claims per Payable Register in the Amount of $390,105.76 is included for your review and approval. 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 - Second Reading Janae Moore, et. al., has made an application to change the zoning classification of Lots 7 through 12, Block 233, Kalispell 4' Addition, from RA-1 to RA-3. The description encompasses property in the entire 'h block on the east side of 1' 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 classification. The bulls 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 west 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 Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 I Oil Telephone (406) 758-7700 - FAX (406) 758-7758 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, 2ad Reading is appropriate. Agenda Item No. 4. Zone Change - City of iKalispell/RSI LLC - P-1 to D-2 - Second 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-H (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 4447 - Policy for the Use of Funds in the West Side Urban Renewal District A proposed resolution setting forth a policy is included in your agenda packet. I have also prepared a memo relating to the City Service request that is included in your packet, and an exception for this project is included in the policy. A motion approving the resolution would be appropriate as would a motion to direct staff to prepare a Developers Agreement with City Service relating to the improvements that you want to fund in relationship to the Westbrook Square Project. We would bring the Developers Agreement and a budget amendment to consider at your March 1, 1999 meeting. KJ Agenda Item No. 6. Big Sky Manor/Hampstead Partners - Request For a Loan Big Sky Manor/Hampstead Partners request for a loan of S 124,000 to aid Hampstead in their acquisition and upgrade of Big Sky Manor (a 60 unit multi property located at 110 Second Avenue West in Kalispell). This is one of eight projects included in a package put together by the Montana Board of Housing. The Housing Board will require that 70% of the units be targeted for tenants at 50% of median income in the aggregate for the eight projects. (See February lop' letter in agenda packet.) The goal of the Housing Board is to preserve these units for low to moderate income tenants. Since your study session, Susan Moyer has convinced the new owner to include the fire safety detectors and doors in the upgrade of the units. This project is directly related to the assistance of low to moderate income tenants and it is my recommendation that you approve the 20 year loan at 5% from the UDAG funds. In addition to the reasons identified by Council at the study session, the tax increment funds have more demand on them than the more restrictive UDAG funds. Susan Moyer has prepared a memo on the past uses of UDAG .Funds that is in your packet. A motion to authorize a UDAG loan of S124,000 at 5% over twenty years would be appropriate. Agenda Item No. 7. Conrad Mansion - Funding Request for Fire Control Sprinkling System This request from the President of the Conrad Mansion Directors, Louis Bibler, is for the City to pay '/2 of the cost of installing a fire sprinkler system at the Conrad Mansion estimated to cost between $30,000 and $40,000. We do not have funds available in the current budget and will need to include it in the 1999/2000 budget in July if the City agrees to participate in the funding. The City does own the building and currently spends about $2,500 per year for insurance coverage. Since we have a very attractive rate in a state wide insurance pool, the sprinkling of the mansion will not reduce the premium costs. The approximate $20,000 is the equivalent to one mill and can be funded from the General Fund in next year's budget. Mayor Boharski is exploring the possibility of a State Grant for this funding and will report on that at Tuesday night's meeting. It is difficult for the City to fund this type of request outside the budget process. A motion to defer until budget time or the approval of a State Grant would be appropriate. 3 Agenda Item No. 8. Appointment to 9-1-1 Administrative Board - One Elected Official The City needs to appoint someone from our Police and/or Fire Departments to this Board as well as a member of the City Council. It is my recommendation that Fire Chief Ted Waggener be appointed to the Board and that Police Chief Frank Garner be appointed as an alternate. The Council needs to select someone from Council to also serve on this Administrative Board. A motion to appoint a Councilperson and the Fire Chief and Police Chief is appropriate. Agenda Item No. 9. Appointment to City -County Planning Board - Member at Large The Planning Board has requested approval of either Mike Fraser or Richard Kuhl as a member of the City -County Planning Board. This member selected must be confirmed by the City -Council and County Commissioners. The Planning Board would like the person to be selected so that the new member can be seated at the March Planning Board meeting. A motion to approve the appointment is in order. Agenda Item No. 10. Confirmations - Police Officers Sean McRae and James Wardensky Police Chief Frank Garner has requested the Council's recognition that Police Officers Sean McRae and James Wardensky have successfully completed their one year probationary period effective February 19, 1999. A motion approving their completion of the probationary period is in order. Agenda Item No. 11. Council Comments/Information/Questions -- (no action) 4
