A. Owner/Applicant: Ronnie Pack P.O. Box 7066 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406)752-7785 Technical Assistance: Sitescape Associates P.O. Box 1417 Columbia Falls, MT 59912 Sands Surveying 1995 Third Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 (406)755-6481 B. Location: The property proposed for subdivision is located on the west side of Corporate Way approximately 200 feet north of Highway 2 West in the west part of Kalispell. The property can be described as Assessor's Tract 7A located in Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Size: Total area: Lot 1: Lot 2: Lot 3: Lot 4: 2.40 acres 29,772.85 sq. ft. (0.73 ac.) 31,649.70 sq. ft. (0.73 ac.) 21,263.54 sq. ft. (0.48 ac.) 22,043.26 sq. ft. (0.51 ac.) D. Nature of the Request: The property owner is proposing to create four commercial lots and a remainder lot. The remainder will be indicated on the plat as "future highway right-of-way" and follows the Kalispell Bypass corridor. This property will be acquired by the State of Montana Department of Transportation as part of their early acquisition provided the property owner and State can agree on a fair market value. The four commercial lots would be placed on the market for commercial development permitted under the B-2, General Business, zoning designation. E. Zoning: The zoning for this property is B-2, a General Business zoning district. The minimum lot size requirement for this district is 7,000 square feet. All of the lots within the proposed subdivision exceed this minimum lot size and area intended for uses which are consistent with the general business zoning. F. E:Fdsting Land Use: This property can be considered to be essentially undeveloped. G. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: The area is a mix of commercial buildings to the east with the new National Flood building and the Ashley Square Mall which has a number of commercial uses including a restaurant, barber, small market and the social security office. Residential uses are to the north including the property where the new senior housing project is proposed to the north which is currently owned by Ronnie Pack. North: Property planned for multi -family development and Greenbriar subdivision single family homes, RA-1 and R-4 zoning South: Highway ROW undeveloped commercial property, B-2 zoning East: Commercial development, Ashley Square Mall, B-3 zoning West: Undeveloped proposed Kalispell Bypass, RA1 zoning Relation to Master Plan Map: This property lies within the Kalispell City - County Planning jurisdiction and is designated on the master plan land use map as commercial. This subdivision is in compliance the master plan for the area. Utilities: This development will be served by full City services. Water: City of Kalispell Sewer: City of Kalispell Electricity: Pacific Power and Light (underground) Telephone: CenturyTel (underground) Solid Waste: City of Kalispell Fire: City of Kalispell Schools: School District #5, Russell School Police. City of Kalispell This application is reviewed as a minor subdivision in accordance with State statutory review criteria and the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. A. Effects on Health and Safety: Fire: The risk of fire in this subdivision can be considered generally low because this is an urban area, has good access, will have fire hydrants located within the subdivision and the types of uses would not proposed for the site do not present any significant threat of fire. T2p2gLaphv: The topography of the site is generally level. Development of the site will give adequate consideration of drainage and vegetation of the setback areas which will provide some on -site retention and absorption are -as. Storm sewer improvements may be necessary as part of the obtaining of final plat approval of this subdivision. Roads and Access: Primary access to the site will be from an paved City street, Corporate Way, which is relatively new and in good condition. There is a future roadway indicated on the northern boundary of proposed Lot 4 as a remainder for future highway right-of-way. Although all of the lots can be accessed by way of Corporate Way, the developer should be required to pave the new future roadway to the extent that it serves the development to the north and is an important part of that proposal. The road will be used to provide a primary access element in the apartment development to the north and should be constructed to City standards at least to the western terminus of the driveway. No approaches are indicated on the preliminary plat, but should be so located to provide shared access when possible or a road easement to share cross access. The easement should have a minimum 20 foot wide travel lane to provide for two way traffic because of the relatively narrow width of the lots. Location of the approaches onto Corporate Way will require review and approval by the Kalispell Public Works Department. Limiting the number of accesses onto these streets reduces the potential safety hazards and potential conflicts. All of the property along the west side of Corporate Way is undeveloped. However, the Kalispell Senior Association plans for a senior project to the north on property currently owned by this developer and this subdivision will likely develop soon. The need for pedestrian access in the area is needed with the type of development occurring in the area. The Kalispell Subdivision Regulations require sidewalks for both commercial and residential subdivisions separated by a five foot landscape boulevard. The street tree program can assist the developer in selecting and planting street trees within the landscape boulevard area. Minimal impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat can be anticipated as a result of this subdivision. The properties lie within the urban boundaries of Kalispell and it is anticipated that this area will continue to experience significant growth. Potential storm water runoff could present some limited development constraints because there is no public storm sewer system in the area. The developer will need to demonstrate to the Kalispell Public Works Department that stormwater issues have been adequately addressed by on -site retention methods and compliance with the City's storm water management policies. 3 Sewer: Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell. Services lines will need to be extended to the individual lots, but it is anticipated that only service lines will be required and sewer hook up fees will be assessed at the time of connection because a service main lies in Corporate Way. Adequate capacity exists within the Kalispell sewage treatment system to accommodate the additional needs created by this subdivision. Water: The City of Kalispell will provide water service to the lots in accordance with the design specifications of the City of Kalispell. Water hook-up fees will be assessed at the time of connection. There is adequate capacity within the Kalispell water system to accommodate this proposed subdivision. Consideration will need to be given to provide the necessary fire flows for hydrants needed to serve the subdivision. Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School District #5, however, nos pacts to the school system can be anticipated as a result of this development because of its commercial nature. Parks: There are not developed City parks in the immediate area. However, impacts to the park system will be limited. Parkland dedication is not required for commercial subdivisions. Police Protection: The site is served by the Kalispell Police Department. There would be limited impacts on the police department and adequate service can be provided. However, as the City grows there are cumulative impacts on the department which need to be considered. Fire Protection: This property is served by the City of Kalispell Fire Department. Fire hydrants may be needed to be placed within the subdivision as part of the subdivision approval process. The department will be able to adequately service this development, however, there a have been cumulative effects on the department as a result of the commercial and residential development in the city. Refuse Disposal: Once the property is developed, the City of Kalispell will provide solid waste disposal to the site. Adequate space at the County landfill is available for the solid waste which will be generated by the subdivision. Medical Services: Kalispell Regional Hospital is approximately three and a half miles from the site. Kalispell ambulance service as well as ALERT are able to provide service to this area. Access to the site is good. Commercial development is anticipated in this area. Because this is in an established urban area, no impacts to agriculture or agricultural water users facility are anticipated as a result of this subdivision. The Kalispell City -County Master Plan Map designates this area as Commercial. The proposed subdivision complies with this land use designation. Additionally, this development is taking place within an established commercial area and meets the goals and objectives of the master plan by providing infill and expansion of the existing commercial areas. This property is zoned B-2, General Business, a district that requires a minimum of 7,000 square foot for newly created lots. This district provides for a broad range of general commercial uses including retail sales, restaurants, hotels and motels, auto dealerships, professional and government offices as well as any number of other general uses. This subdivision complies with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance both in the development standards and the uses intended for the site. The preliminary plat is in substantial compliance with the State and City Subdivision Regulations. The Flathead Regional Development Office would recommend that Kalispell City Council adopt the Staff Report #KSR 99-2 as findings of fact and grant preliminary plat approval for this subdivision subject to the following conditions: 1. That the development of the site will be in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat which shall govern the general location of the lots and accesses. 2. That all improvements for the subdivision shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the City of Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards for local streets. Certification from a engineer licensed in the state of Montana shall be submitted with the final plat stating that all of the improvements have been constructed accordingly. 3. That approval of the water and sewer facilities for the subdivision be obtained from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Kalispell Public Works Department. 4.

Sidewalks shall be separated by a five foot landscape boulevard and the placement of street trees shall be coordinated with the City Parks and Recreation Department. 8. That an approach permit be obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department for the placement of the driveways or access road which will serve the lots in the subdivision.
