4. Conditional Use Permit - Grumpa's Restaurant & CasinoAgenda - May 18, 1998
AGENDA ITEM 4 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-GRUMPA'S RESTAURANT &
CASINO
BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: Based upon the discussion at the last Council
meeting, we have composed a Conditional Use Permit that will require the landscaping on
Grumpa's property. Based upon the only input from the Council members, (Doug Scarf,
this seems to be the only issue of concern. After reviewing a previously issued CUP to City
Service, Inc., we redrafted the Grumpa's CUP to reflect similar requirements. City Service,
in expanding their operations, developed a relatively inexpensive landscaped area along the
Highway #93 right-of-way. Requiring Grumpa's landscaping to be consistent with that
already in place at City Service will provide an aesthetically pleasing approach to Kalispell as
well as equitable treatment of development in the area. We did not include the change in the
lighting restriction as per Council member Donahue's motion, since there was not a second
for it at the last meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Conditional Use Permit, as compiled by the
City Attorney, is recommended.
ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to approve the CUP as now presented will complete
this process.
