KALISPELL LIMITED The public hearing was introduced on a request by Kalispell
PARTNERSHIP CUP Limited Partnership for a conditional use permit to construct a 24-
unit apartment building for senior citizens on 2.36 acres located at
700 Liberty Street.
Staff Report Kountz gave a detailed overview of staff report #KCU-98-7. The
application was evaluated in accordance with the statutory criteria
for the issuance of a conditional use permit.
Kountz said there was a concern with drainage on Liberty Street.
Kountz said that both City and County staff have commented that
Liberty Street has flooded at the end of the street in the past and as
a response to that the site proposal has a significant stormwater
detention pond at the south end of the property and the City
standards require an engineered drainage plan.
In regards to streets, Kountz said when Liberty Village was
approved creating this lot, it also looked at requirements for
constructing Kinshella Avenue; he said the fire chief described the
area as a maze of dead end streets that was difficult to get around
in in a high density area. Kountz said Kinshella was proposed on
the master plan as a collector street running from Two Mile to
Three Mile Drive and construction would greatly improve
circulation. Kountz said when the Liberty Village was approved it
required that 30 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to Kinshella
Avenue and it also required that if the development in the
subdivision fronts or uses Kinshella Avenue then the street must
be constructed at the expense of the developer. Kountz said in the
interim City Council abandoned that additional 30 feet, half of the
right-of-way. Kountz said staff was recommending that the
applicant waive protest to the future creation of an SID to construct
Kinshell Avenue some time in the future.
Kountz said one other access issue was that Eagle Transit does not
pull into parking lots, and they would therefore stop at Liberty
Street in front of the building; Eagle Transit would also recommend
providing an in -door waiting area at that entrance, including a
window or glass door with a clear view of the street.
Based on the findings Kountz said staff was recommending
approval of the conditional use permit.
Public Hearing:
In Favor Jeff Fox, Architect for Shutz Foss and representing Kalispell
Partners Limited, spoke in favor of the proposal saying most
communities in the United States, and most particularly Montana,
have a need for senior and low income housing. Fox said the
project would provide both. Fox said the residents that would live
Kalispell City -County Planning Board
Minutes of Meeting of October 20, 1998
Page 12 of 16
in these apartments are low income with rents being subsidized
through rural development with the Federal government dictating
that one of the requirements to live in the apartments is 61 years of
age or older, which also meetings the staffs requirement for
parking. Fox said they had reviewed staff recommendations and
were willing to comply with them, and that the addition of seating
and windows in the north stairwell was a good idea.
Opposition No one spoke in opposition.
Board Discussion Hash asked if senior housing was exempt from the adult only fair
housing act. Kountz said that Federal and State regulations
require that senior housing that meets certain requirements with a
certain percentage being over 50 years of age are exempt.
Hash said there were a few Board members who were familiar with
the area and Kinshella Avenue, and was surprised to have a
requirement and then have the governing bodies abandoned it was
leaving the whole criteria out in limbo. -
Hash asked if there would be side walks on both sides of Liberty
Street. Kountz replied that would be.
Motion Bahr moved to adopt staff report #KCU-98-7 as findings of fact and
recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to the
nine conditions listed. Garberg seconded the motion.
Roll Call Vote On a roll call vote Brenneman, Garberg, Heinecke, Bahr, Stevens,
Johnson and Hines voted aye. The motion to approve the
conditional use permit carried on a 7-0 vote.
WILLIAM AND The public hearing was introduced on A request by William and
BRONWEN DEAN ZONE Bronwen Dean for a zone change from R-1 to B-2 on aproximately 5
CHANGE acres located at 1780 Highway 35 on the south side of the highway
just west of Helena Flats Road
Staff Report Kountz gave a detailed overview of Staff report #FZC-98-8A.
Kountz said the previous proposal was for IH-1 Commissioners
said it was spot zoning. Main difference between commercial and
industrial is . Congestion of alterial road. Back part of site is in
the 100-year floodplain.. Staff recommends denial.
Hash asked if the letter received on 10/ 18 had an effect on his
report. Kountx said no.

RE: Cherry Orchard Apartments -Kalispell Montana
Dear Mr. Kountz:
The purpose of my letter today is to request that the Cherry Orchards project gets on
the agenda for the City council meeting to consider and approve the conditional use
permit. We would like to be on the agenda for the meeting of November 2, 1998.
Please do this at your earliest convenience because time is of the essence. We would
then be able to pull our building permit, be started with our project by middle of
November, and hopefully prevent any frost conditions. As I mentioned to you in an
earlier letter, the budget on these types of projects are tight, so we are trying to prevent
any additional cost that may be caused by a late start on construction.
Thank you very much for your help that you have provided on this project. We look
forward to working with you.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REPORT KCU-98-7
OCTOBER 13, 1998
A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a
request for a conditional use permit to construct a 24-unit apartment building for senior
citizens at 700 Liberty Street. A public hearing to review this request has been scheduled
before the planning board on October 20, 1998, in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The
planning board will forward a recommendation to the City Council for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. Petitioner: Kalispell Partners Limited Partnership
420 5' Av. S.
P.O. Box 1086
LaCrosse, Wl 54602-1086
Technical assistance: Schutz Foss Architects
2710 1st Av. N.

TD&H
690 N. Meridian Rd.
Kalispell, MT 59901
B. Summary of Request: The request is for a conditional use permit to construct a 24-
unit apartment building for senior citizens. The proposed wood -frame building would
be two stories high and 52'x187'8" in size, for a total gross floor area of approximately
19,500 square feet. Each apartment would have one bedroom and gross floor area
of approximately 575 square feet. One apartment would be used as a manager's
residence. The building also includes a lobby, community room and laundry room.
The site plan proposes a 24-space parking lot and a separate trash storage building.
To demonstrate a potential use on the remainder of the L-shaped property, the site
plan shows a possible future phase consisting of two residential four-plex buildings,
which are not being proposed as part of this application. If 30 feet of the site is
required to be dedicated in the future for Kinshella Av. (the existing right-of-way is
only 30 feet wide), the parcel size would be 2.095 acres, and RA-1 zoning would
allow only six additional dwellings in the second phase, rather than eight as shown on
the site plan.
C. Size and Location: The 2.36-acre property is located at 700 Liberty St. The parcel
is described as Lot 6 in Liberty Village Subdivision, Section 12 Township 28 North,
Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
D. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The site is currently a vacant grassy field. The
zoning is RA-9 Low Density Residential Apartment. The krt area requirement is met;
which would allow up to 34 units on the 2.36-acre site. The setback requirements of
20 feet from each property boundary are met. The 35 foot maximum building height
requirement is met; the proposed building height is approximately 28 feet.
E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: The vicinity is a developing multi-
family housing neighborhood at the edge of the city limits.
North: Liberty St., four-plex housing; RA-1 Residential Apartment zoning
South: large -lot residential, open field; R-1 Suburban Residential zoning
East: Multifamily housing; RA-1 Residential Apartment zoning
West: large -lot residential, open field; R-1 Suburban Residential zoning
F. Master Plan Designation: The Kalispell City County Master Plan Map designates
this area as high density residential which anticipates eight to 40 dwelling units per
acres. The proposed project is in compliance with the land use designation of the
master plan map and furthers the goals of the master plan by providing for a diversity
of housing needs in the community.

EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST
The application is reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
1. Site Suitability:
a. Adequate Useable Space: The site has adequate space to meet the zoning
density, setback, and parking requirements.
b. Adequate Access: The proposed parking lot for apartment building accesses
Liberty Street, a paved city street with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. See the
discussion below on streets.
C. Environmental Constraints: The site is generally level, and no floodplain,
surface water, wetland, or hyddc soils are mapped on the site. City and County
staff commented that the end of Liberty St. in front of the site has flooded at
times in the past. To accommodate site drainage, a large area for stormwater
retention is shown on the site plan. The Kalispell Design and Construction
Standards address the adequate provision of drainage facilities, including
design of retention facilities and an engineered drainage report for new
developments exceeding 10,000 square feet. The Kalispell Loam (Ke) soils
mapped in the area of the proposed building and parking lot are rated by the
Soil Conservation Service (now NRCS) as having only slight limitations for
buildings but severe limitations for roads and parking lots due to frost heave
potential (Soil Survey, 1960), like much of Kalispell. No other significant
environmental constraints are apparent on the property.
2. Appropriateness of design:
a. Parking and site circulation: The site plan shows a 24-space parking lot
accessing Liberty St., designed to comply with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
Zoning regulations require'/2 parking space per dwelling in an elderly housing
project where at least 90% of the units are occupied by persons 60 years or
older. Dwellings in multi -family housing projects that do not meet this elderly
housing standard are required to provide 2.5 spaces per unit. In order for the
proposed 24-space parking lot to comply with zoning standards, the building
must be managed so that at least 16 of the 24 units are occupied by persons
60 years or older. The site plan shows a loading space in front of the main
building entrance and a T-turnaround at the south end of the parking lot.
b. Open Space: The zoning requirements for setbacks and lot coverage are met.
The remainder of the L-shaped site would remain open until a future phase is
proposed. The Fire Chief pointed out that the Weed and Fire Hazard
Ordinance requires mowing this portion of the site as a property management
responsibility.
C. Fencing/Screening/Landscaping: The site plan proposes landscaping around
the building and parking lot. The site plan meets the zoning requirement for
landscaping at least 5% of the total parking lot area. Zoning also requires a
three-foot high visual relief screen between the parking lot and Liberty St. in
the form of a hedge, fence, planter box, or berm. Staff recommends that the
number of screening trees on the west side of the building be increased from
one per 50 feet to one per 25 feet, to mitigate the street noise of Kinshella Av.
(a collector) when it is eventually completed and to enhance the appearance
of the relatively massive, uniform building from that street and the adjoining
rural properties.
d. Signs: The application includes a drawing for a routed wood sign 36 square
feet in size. Zoning requires that the sign face be reduced to no more than 24
square feet, and the height must not exceed 6 feet.
3
3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities:
a. Schools: This site is within School District #5. No impact is anticipated from
the proposed senior housing project.
b. Parks and Recreation: Hawthorn Park is within walking distance,
approximately 1,100 feet from the site.
C. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department.
No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed residential
facility.
d. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire
Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed
residential facility. The applicant has proposed that the building would have an
automatic sprinkler system to meet Uniform Fire Code requirements.
e. Water and sewer: The project would hook up to municipal water and sewer
service. A utilities easement is in place along the east side of the parking lot.
f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City. A trash storage
building is proposed abutting the parking lot. Zoning regulations
(27.22.020(3)(a)) require that accessory buildings can not be place in front of
(closer to the street than) the primary structure. Ample space exists to meet
this requirement. Its relocation would also make it more convenient for elderly
residents of the apartment building.
g. Streets: Traffic generation from the development is estimated at 80 average
daily trips, based on estimates for retirement housing in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers trip generation manual. The proposed parking lot for
apartment building accesses Liberty Street, a paved city street with curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. The site plan shows a possible second phase accessing
Kinshella Av., but that phase is not part of this application.
Development of this lot raises an issue about the necessity of constructing the
adjacent portion of Kinshella Avenue. Kinshella Av. is not constructed, but is
shown in the city county master plan as a collector street to extend from Two
Mile to Three Mile Drive. The immediate neighborhood has a series of dead-
end streets, including Liberty St., and construction of Kinshella would
significantly improve the convenience of circulation and emergency access for
a multifamily housing development as proposed. When Liberty Village
subdivision was approved in 1993, condition 7 of plat approval required that an
additional 30 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to Kinshella Av., to meet the 60-
foot minimum right-of-way standard, and condition 8 required that if
development in the subdivision fronts or uses Kinshella Av. (named Justice St.
at that time), then the street must be constructed at the expense of the
developer. The final plat of the subdivision dedicated the additional 30 feet
from this lot, but in 1995 city council abandoned that 30 feet of right-of-way at
4
the request of the owner. Construction of the proposed building appears to
trigger the condition 8 requirement, but the wording of the condition is
somewhat ambiguous and its applicability is further complicated by city
council's later abandonment of half of the street right-of-way. To address
condition 8, provide eventually for improved access and circulation in this area,
and provide for a fair allocation of street construction costs, staff recommends
that the applicant waive protest to the future creation of an SID to construct
Kinshella Av to meet City Standards for Design and Construction. The
proposed building location is 50 feet from the existing Kinshella right-of-way,
which is adequate room to accommodate additional future right-of-way
dedication and zoning setback requirements.
A second access issue is the provision of a waiting area for Eagle Transit,
which would provide bus service to the elderly residents of the building. Eagle
Transit staff commented that they will pick up residents on Liberty St. in front
of the building, but they will not drive into the parking lot because it adds too
much time to their routes and turnaround areas are often unplowed and used
as overflow parking. The building has an entrance on Liberty St. Transit staff
recommended provision for an in -door waiting area at that entrance, including
a window or glass door with a clear view of the street.
Development and land use impacts of the proposal are anticipated to be typical of
other properties in the immediate neighborhood. Traffic generation for senior housing,
as estimated above, would be less than that of a typical apartment building. Except
during construction, no significant impacts are anticipated from noise, vibration, or
dust. Outdoor lighting is proposed on the parking lot. Staff recommends that the
lights be directed downward and shielded to prevent glare onto the neighboring
property. No impact from smoke, fumes, gas, odors, or inappropriate hours of
operation are anticipated beyond the norm of an urban density neighborhood.
A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the site
approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. As of this writing, staff has received no
comments from neighbors on the proposal.
5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes:
The proposal is compatible with the immediate area, where multi -family housing is the
prevailing land use. The vicinity is a developing multi -family housing neighborhood at
the edge of the city limits. The zoning is RA-1 Low Density Residential Apartment.
6. Effects on property values:
No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated. As discussed
above, the proposal is compatible with the neighborhood, and the development and
land use impacts would be typical of other properties in the area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the planning board adopt the staff report KCU-98-7 as findings of fact
and recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposal will be developed in substantial conformance with the approved site
plan and other application materials. The conditions herein shall be met prior to
occupancy of the apartment building.
2. The proposal shall comply with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The apartment
building shall be managed so that at least 16 of the 24 units are occupied by persons
60 years or older, in order for the proposed 24-space parking lot to comply with

height. Provide a three-foot high visual relief screen between the parking lot and
Liberty St. in the form of a hedge, fence, planter box, berm or equivalent. The trash
storage building shall not be closer to Liberty St. than the apartment building.
3. The proposal shall comply with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards.
Sewer, water, drainage, and other applicable facilities shall be approved by the City
Engineer.
4. The proposal shall comply with the Uniform Fire Code as approved by the Kalispell
Fire Chief. The open portions of the property shall be mowed and maintained to
comply with the Weed and Fire Hazard Ordinance.
5. The buildings shall comply with applicable building codes as approved by the
Kalispell Building Department.
6. Modify the proposedlandscaping to increase the number of screening trees on the
west side of the building from one per 50 feet to one per 25 feet, in order to mitigate
the street noise of Kinshella Av. (a collector) when it is eventually completed and to
enhance the appearance of the relatively massive, uniform building from that street
and the adjoining rural properties.
7. The property owner shall waive protest to the future creation of an SID to construct
Kinshella Av to meet City Standards for Design and Construction.
8. To accommodate pick-up of residents by Eagle Transit service, provide for an in -door

Question #3
A. Traffic flow to and from the proposed project will be considerably less than that
which would be encountered with a typical 24 unit apartment building. With the
exception of the on -site manager all of the residents will be elderly retired
singles or couples. Therefore there will not be the daily traffic that is associated
with travel to and from places of employment. There will also be no children
living in the building and all of their associated transportation needs will not be
present.
B. Access to the building will be gained via a drive off of Liberty on the north side
of the property. The access to the possible future four-plex units on the back
potion will be gained by an extension of this new drive.
C. The proposed project provides one off street parking stall for each apartment
for a total of 24. With the residents being exclusively elderly this quantity
exceeds the required 1/2 stall per unit for elderly housing. There is no proposed
loading area for this project.
D. We will be providing an enclosed covered trash enclosure for the dumpsters
that is located immediately adjacent to the drive for easy access for refuse
pick-up. There are on service areas proposed.
E. The intent of this project is to access all of the necessary utilities either in
Liberty street or in the existing utility easement on the east side if our property.
We intend to tie into the existing sewer in the easement directly to the east of
the building. We also would like to bring as many of the utilities south from
Liberty in this same easement to serve this building as well as the possible
future four-plexes.
F. This project will if necessary provide screening trees or shrubs along the
property lines that adjoin the Treasure State Plaza site.
G. There will be a permanent sign for the building that will be place next to the
drive. This sign will be a sand etched redwood sign that will identify the facility,
the manager's apartment & phone and the rental information. Areas not utilizes
for the building, parking or the drive will be used as open landscaped spaces or
for storm water retention. The same will apply for the possible future four-
plexes on the back of the lot.
H. The proposed building is a two story wood frame building that is approximately
190' long by 52' wide and 28' tall. The structure will be placed approximately

67' back in from the Liberty street property line and 2T away from the Justice
street property line. The building will face the east.
1. The project proposes to have open spaces both to the north and the south of
the building. The space to the south will be a landscaped storm water retention
area. The north area will be left as a landscaped open space.
J. There are no set hour of operation associated with this elderly housing
apartment building.
K. This facility will not produce any additional noise, dust, odors, fumes, or
vibrations than would be associated with the typical residence. The building will
have four lights mounted on the front of the building to light the parking lot.
