Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 Re: Deloris Partnership Group Conditional Use Permit for a Mini -Storage Facility in the B-2 Dear Chris: The Kalispell City -County Planning Board met on May 11, 1999, and held a public hearing to consider a request by Deloris Partnership Group for a conditional use permit to construct a 92 unit mini -storage facility on property proposed for annexation. The property is located on the north side of Appleway Drive and east of Highway 2 approximately one quarter of a mile. Narda Wilson, of the Flathead Regional Development Office, presented staff KCU-99-6, evaluating the conditional use permit proposal to construct a 92 unit mini -storage facility. The staff recommended that the board forward a recommendation to approve the application subject to the conditions contained in the staff report. At the public hearing, Bill Schottlekorb, representing Deloris Partnership Group, spoke in favor of the petition. He stated that they were in general agreement with the conditions as listed in the staff report. He noted that the petitioners also own property around the proposed site and are sensitive to the need to buffer the development in order to minimize impacts to the area. There were three letters in opposition to the proposed mini -storage from nearby property owners because they believed the type of use would set a trend for other future uses in the area and that it would not be the best use of the property. A motion was made to adopt staff report KCU-99-6 as findings of fact and recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to the conditions as stated in the report. Those conditions are listed in Attachment A. The motion passed on a vote of eight in favor and none opposed. William Rice excused himself from discussion and vote because he has an interest in the application. This matter is being forwarded to the Kalispell City Council for consideration at their June 7, 1999 regular meeting. Please contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Flathead Regional Development Office if you have any questions regarding this matter.

KCU996A DELORIS PARTNERSHIP GROUP FLATHEAD REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT STAFF REPORT KCU-99-6 MAY 4, 1999 A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a conditional use permit to allow a mini -storage facility in a B-2 zoning district. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell City -County Planning Board for May 11, 1999, beginning at 6:00 PM, in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the city council for final actin. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This request for a conditional use permit has been filed concurrently with a request for annexation of this property and initial zoning of B-2, General Business, once annexed into the city limits. Additionally, the applicants recently filed a request for a zoning text amendment which would list mini -storage and recreational vehicle storage as a conditionally permitted use in the City B-2 zoning districts. This request has been approved by the Kalispell City Council on second reading and is in the 30 day waiting penod: The ordinance will become final prior to this request going to the city council for consideration. A. Petitioner and Owners: William C. Rice Deloris Partnership Group 178 E. Blanchard Lake Road Whitefish, MT 59937 (406)863-9925 B. Location and Size of Property: The property proposed for the mini -storage facility is located on the north side of Appleway Drive and east of its intersection with Highway 2 approximately one quarter of a mile. The entire parcel just over four acres, or 4.045 acres. Only portion of this property will be used for the mini -storage facility. The property can be described as Assessor's Tract lA located in Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Nature of Request: This is a request for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 92 unit mini -storage facility on property which will be zoned B-2, General Commercial, upon annexation into the city. As previously mentioned, the applicants have sought and received a zoning text amendment which lists mini -storage facilities as a conditionally permitted use. The request for this conditional use permit is being filed concurrently with the above referenced request for annexation into the City of Kalispell and B-2 zoning. The site plan indicates a house and out building on an adjoining parcel to the west. The site plan indicates that access to the mini -storage facility is proposed through this property which is apparently also owned by the applicants. The house is indicated to be used as a rental or on -site manager. D. E�dsta g Land Use and Zoning: This property is currently undeveloped. This property is currently zoned County R-1, a Suburban Residential zoning district which has a one acre minimum lot size requirement for newly created lots. Typically properties which are zoned R-1 are in areas where community water and sewer are not available or the property is in environmentally sensitive areas where a low density would be appropriate. However, concurrent with the conditional use permit application, a request for annexation an initial zoning of B-2, General Business. Mini -storage is a conditionally permitted use in this zone and the Kalispell Zoning Regulations outline specific standards for mini -storage facilities under review for a conditional use permit. The applicants have reviewed the requirements and have designed their facility in substantial compliance with these development standards with the exception of some minor modifications. Further review of the specific standards will be addressed in the report. E. Surrounding Zoning and band Uses Zoning: This area can be described as an area of transition between the commercial strip to the north and the residential uses to the south. East Cottonwood Drive is the dividing line and is primarily residential. Properties adjoining this parcel to the south front along Highway 35 and have been commercially developed. The surrounding uses are indicated on the site plan and are as follows: North.: Single family homes and vacant land; R-3, single family zoning South: Two hotels and a vacant building, B-2, general commercial zoning West:: Single family home and a trucking repair shop, R-2, single family and I-1, light industrial zoning East: Residential and commercial, B-2, general business zoning F. Master Plan Designation: This site lies within the boundaries of the Kalispell City -County Master Plan. The master plan map designates this area as Suburban Residential. The zoning for this property was adopted as part of -.e Evergreen and Vicinity Zoning District. The property was zoned B-2 along with the properties along Highway 35 to the eastern terminus of East Cottonwood Drive. This zoning designation was adopted primarily as a way of addressing uses which were in place at the time the zoning for the area was adopted. These uses are conforming uses under the B-2 zoning and would be non -conforming uses under residential zoning indicated in the master plan. The master plan is currently under review and revisions for this area are under review. This proposal and the zoning for this property do not comply with the master plan land use designation of Suburban Residential. G. Utilities/Services: Sewer service: No sewer will be required Water service: No water will be required Solid Waste: Contract hauler Gas: Montana Power Company Electric: Pacific Power (underground) Phone: PTI (underground) Police: Flathead County Sheriff's Office Fire: Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department Schools: School District #5 and #50, Kalispell and Evergreen H. Evaluation of the Request: 1. Site Suitability: Adequate Useable Space: The area proposed for the mini -storage facility is approximately 0.79 acres in size and is generally level. As proposed the design of the facility provides adequate travel lanes and maneuvering between the isles and complies with the standards outlined in the zoning regulations. The buildings are adequately setback from the property boundaries as indicated on the site plan. OA a. Adequate Access: Primary access will be from Appleway Drive with a driveway through the property to the west where the single family residence and out buildings are located. Access to the mini -storage facility is proposed along the gravel drive past the house and barn to an area to the rear of the lot on a portion of the property. Access to the mini -storage facility is relatively poor because of the condition and width of the driveway as well as using a private driveway off -site. In addition to that, it does not give adequate consideration for future development of the remaining portion of the parcel. A separate driveway should be established to the east of the existing driveway and constructed to a standard that would accommodate future commercial development on the site. Adequate consideration should be given to storm water issues when locating and designing the access to the site. A minimum standard for access into the mini -storage facility should be a 24 foot wide% driveway. Minimum fire safety standards are 20 feet, however, with a mini - storage facility there will be trucks and trailers with items intended for the storage units pulling int,� the facility. Adequate room should be given to accommodate two-way loaded vehicles. b. Environmental Constraints: There is some minimal floodplain area to the north from Spring Creek overflow, but more floodplain to the southeast. There has been seasonal flooding in the area because of culverting associated with other development in the area. There are some moderately low areas on the site overall, but not in the area where the mini -storage facility is proposed. This property is designated as being in flood zone C, not a floodprone area, and, at the northeast corner a small portion of flood zone B, the 500 year floodplain according to FIRM Panel # 1805D. Zone B does not require special development permits or special flood insurance. Impacts to groundwater is not a significant issue because the park will be not have the need for sanitation facilities even though public water and sewer are available. 2. Appropriate Design: a. Parking Scheme: The newly adopted regulation relating to mini -storage facilities addresses parking by requiring on space for the on -site manager and two additional spaces at the leasing office. The site plan indicates that the managers office may be located in the residence or that the residence may be used as a rental. In either case, there is adequate parking on near the residence to accommodate required parking. No other parking located within the facility appears to be required or needed since there is no leasing office or other office quarters where business will be conducted other than the managers quarters. b. Traffic Circulation: Circulation within the site is achieved by a series of travel lanes in front of each row of mini -storage units. The design of the travel lanes generally comply with the zoning specifications with the exception of the lane width on the east and west ends of the facility. The outside lane are 20 feet and the standards require a minimum 26 foot wide lane when storage units open to one side of the lane. The two interior lanes are 30 feet wide and comply with the 30 feet wide requirement when storage units open onto both sides of the lane. You will note that there are two lanes which have doors on both sides of the road and two lanes, the eastern and western lanes, which have doors on one side. Paving for all parking and access areas are required to be paved with a minimum of two inches of asphalt or concrete under Section 26.26.030(4). Additionally, the travel lanes within the facility should be required to be paved because this property is in a non -attainment area for air quality. Additionally, a drainage plan will be needed to address the �' handling of storm water run off and will be required to be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department.. There is a culvert to the west which handles some of the storm water and surface water in the area and channels it to a discharge point in Ashley Creek further to the south. c. Open Space: No specific open space would be required for a project of this nature other than the setback areas. The setbacks have been met. There will be approximately three acres remaining on the site which will be developed in the future for a commercial use allowed under the B-2 zoning and will serve as informal open space for the time being. d. Fencing/Screening/Landscaping: It does not appear that any fencing is proposed and there are no fencing requirements under the conditional use permit standards. However, it appears that some fencing around the perimeter of the facility would be appropriate to provide for some security and screening. Some screening is required by the conditional use standards for mini -storage when it abuts areas which adjoin residentially zoned properties. Some screening is proposed along the eastern boundary of the mini -storage facility which will provide screening to the east. Other screening exists in the form of trees to the west boundary. It is the recommendation of the Kalispell site review committee and the staff that screening also be provided along the northern bound o --stora e facility either in the form of trees and shrubs or a vine ong a fence to provide visu relief from the highway to the north. Landscaping will be used for screening purposes. e. Signage: No specific sign plan has been proposed, but the applicant has stated signs will comply with the zoning. A permit is required. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Schools: This development is within the boundaries of School District #5, Kalispell, and School District #50, Evergreen. However, no effect on the school district can be anticipated as a result of this development. b. Parks and Recreation: There are no well developed County park facilities in the immediate proximity to this property. However, no significant impact on the parks and recreation facilities is anticipated because of the nature of this use. c. Police: This mini -storage facility is in the jurisdiction of the Kalispell Police Department. Adequate service and protection can be provided by the department at this time. d. Fire Protection: Fire protection would be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. The fire marshal has stated that they require a minimum of a 20 foot wide access to the site and around the building, however, a 24 foot wide access would be preferred. The department can provide adequate service to the site under the recommended standards. e. Water and Sewer No water or sewer service is proposed for the property, but this property will have access to public water and sewer from the City of Kalispell. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste disposal can be provided by the City of Kalispell upon request. There is sufficient capacity within the County landfill to accommodate additional solid waste generated from this development which is anticipated to be insignificant. El g. Roads: Traffic projections for this type of development are relatively low. The Trip General Manual, (1984) published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers estimates that there are 2.8 vehicle trips per day average per 1,000 square feet of mini -storage area. The total square footage for the 92 mini - storage units is approximately 12,600 square feet. At full build out and full occupancy, it is estimated that there would be an average of 35 vehicle trips per day. Appleway- Drive is in reasonably good condition and adequate to accommodate to the potential traffic generated from this use. 4. Immediate Neighborhood Impact: The general character of this neighborhood is a mix of commercial, residential and industrial uses in the immediate area. This is a relatively low impact use with regard to traffic and utilities. The facility will be able to be seen from the highway and will present visual impacts that may be out of character with other uses along the highway. However„ visual impacts can be mitigated to a certain extent with fencing and landscaping along the north side of the facility, so the visual impacts to the highway corridor are minimal. Impacts to the residential character of the area to the south could be considered relatively inconsequential considering the existing uses on the property, i.e. number vehicles, equipment and other miscellaneous items. REACTION OF NEARBY PROPERTY OWNERS A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the subject property approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. At the writing of the staff report, one phone call from a property owner who has several properties in the area including the property to the east, the Skipper's property to the north and the Sizzler property also to the north. Both restaurant properties front along Highway 2. He stated that he does not believe that the mini -storage facilities will encourage the type of uses anticipated for this area; uses such as offices, retail, hotels and restaurants. He is opposed to allowing the mini -storage facility in this area. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The site appears to provide adequate usable space and there are no significant environmental constraints associated with the site which would pose severe development challenges. 2. Modifications to the design of the development with regard to the relocation of the access to the site, paving the internal access system and widening the east and west lanes of the facility, will bring the development into compliance with the standards of the Kalispell Zoning Regulations. 3. Public services such as community water and sewer, schools, fire protection and adequate roadways exist in the area to accommodate the expansion. 4. Impacts to the character of the area can be mitigated to a certain extent with the use of fencing, screening and landscaping on the north and east boundaries of the facility. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board adopt staff report #FCU-99-6 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed mini -storage facility be granted subject to the following conditions: A That the development of the site a-M be in substantial conformance with the site plan and building specifications presented in the application with regard to the location of the facility and travelways, the number location and height of the storage units except as modified by these conditions. 2. That the travel lanes within the development be a minimum of 26 feet wide on the outside aisles and a minimum of 30 feet wide on the inside aisles. The outside aisles on the east and west shall be paved to a minimum width of 20 and to a minimum width of 30 feet on the inside aisles. 3. Access to the facility shall be relocated between the common boundary of the subject property and the lot to the east where the residence and barn are located. The driveway to the facility shall be paved to a minimum of 24 feet wide to the facility entrance. An approach permit shall be obtained from the Kalispell Public Works Department for the exact location of the driveway along Appleway Drive and any conditions adequately met. 4. That a sight obscuring buffer a minimum of six feet high shall be placed around the north and east boundaries of the mini -storage facility which shall be made of coniferous trees and shrubs or fencing or a combination of both. 5. That the fire access shall be reviewed and approved by the fire chief of the Kalispell Fire Department. 6. That the stormwater drainage plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. 7. That the storage facility will comply with the performance standards relating to mini -storage facilities as outlined in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance specifically with regard to the use of the facilities and the type of items being stored. 8.

Stan owns Tract 113 which is separated from the subject property by a sixty foot wide property to the west. I had the opportunity to discuss the proposal with Craig Denman yesterday. He assured me that the storage units would be constructed and finished in such a way that they would compliment the existing farmhouse and barn on the property. Craig also mentioned that the storage units would be screened with vegetative plantings on the east side of the project and that the units would face inward in a horseshoe configuration - Although we are not opposed to new development along Appleway, we are hopeful that this project will not set a precedence that decreases overall property values of adjacent tracts. It is important that this project be done in such a way that it does not compromise the current values of existing projects such as the Hampton Inn and the Sizzler Restaurant or devalue future projects that may be developed on adjacent tracts such as Mr. Pines Tract 1B. I hope that your office and Kalispell's Site Review Committee will be in a position to review and advise on the proposed architectural design and landscape plan for the project. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Bruce F. Lutz A.S.L. Merrier of the Amcrican 5ocicty of Landscape Architects MAY-10-1999 04:45 CROSS ENT. REST. INC. P.01 CROSS ENTERPRISE RESTAURANTS, INC.

I am responding as the owner of the Sider Restaurant, Skipper's Restaurant and also as the owner of a parcel of land on Appleway Dr. 65 feet from the property in question. - It is my understanding that the proposed changes include annexation, zoning, and a conditional use permit to allow mini -storage units on this property. I would support the annexation and zoning to B-2. I do not support the conditional use permit allowing mini -storage units. It has been my objective and that of others to provide a high quality of development in the area that surrounds the subject property. The aesthetics of a mini -storage development would not compliment the surrounding area that is already developed in a higher and better use. On the contrary, the nature of this type of development would most likely deter other higher quality development on the property that remains undeveloped on the north side of Appleway Dr_ In short, i do not believe that approving a conditional use permit for a mini - storage development would be the highest and best use of this property. I believe that it would be below the standards already set by the surrounding properties. I believe that there are many sites in the Valley that would be better suited for mini -storage units. If 1 am unable to attend the meeting on May 11' please submit this letter on my behalf. Thank you.

On a roll call vote: All members voted Aye, with Bill Rice excused from the vote. The motion to recommend B-2, General Commercial, upon annexation passed unanimously. DELORIS A request by Deloris Partnership Group for a conditional use PARTNERSHIP GROUP permit to allow a 92 unit mini -storage facility for property CONDITIONAL USE proposed for annexation into a B-2 zoning district on the north PERMIT side of Appleway Drive. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson of the FRDO gave a presentation of staff report KCU- 99-6 in which staff recommends that the board forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council to grant the conditional use permit for the proposed mini -storage facility subject to eight conditions. She stated that the master plan designates this area as commercial. She noted that the proposed. primary access to the mini -storage facility would be a poor. The staff is recommending that a separate access be developed for this development site. She introduced letters from Bruce Lutz of Sitescape Associates, Stanley Pine of Cross Enterprise Restaurants, Inc., and Richard Vandervert of Spring Creek Development, L.L.C. in which there was support for the annexation and zoning but opposition to the proposed mini - storage facility due to their belief that this would not be the best use of the property, that future projects that may be developed in the area would be devalued and that it would cause an overall decrease in property values in the area. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those in favor of the petition. PROPONENTS Bill Schottlekorb of Delores Partnership Group spoke in favor of the application noting that they have the property around the proposed mini -storage and are very sensitive to the buffering of the project and minimizing the impact to the area. No one else wished to speak for or against the application and the public hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION Heinecke stated that it is possible to have this type of facility done attractively and he is in favor of the project. MOTION Garberg moved and Hines seconded to adopt staff report KCU-99- 3 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit for the proposed mini -storage facility be granted subject to the eight conditions as presented in the report. On a roll call vote: All members voted Aye, with Bill Rice excused from the vote. The motion to recommend that the conditional use permit for a mini -storage passed unanimously. Rice returned to his seat on the board.
