Agenda Item No. 3. Ordinance No. 1296 -- Zoning Text Amendment --
Allowing Garages in Front Yard - Second
Reading
Mr. Bob Cook has made a request to change the Section to allow
the location of residential garages in the front yard when the
lot does not abut an alley. The Kalispell City -County Planning
Board and Zoning Commission considered the request at its
November loth meeting. The Commission unanimously adopted FRDO
Report #KZTA-98-3 as its findings of fact and recommended
adoption of the amendment. After discussion at the December 711
meeting the Council adopted first reading of Ordinance No.
1296. Passage of Ordinance No. 1296, 2" reading will complete
the process and allow implementation of the policy.

Aenda Item No. 4. Resolution No. 4440 - Cra-Lon Addition -
Annexation
Cra-Lon Corporation has requested annexation of a tract of
land located near the corner of Sylvan Drive and College
Avenue. All City services, sewer, water, etc. are available
within the right-of-way abutting the property. The proposed
annexation lies within and conforms to the Kalispell City -
County Master Plan. Issues involving zoning and subdivision of
this tract and adjacent property are discussed below under the
appropriate headings. A motion to adopt Resolution No. 4440,
annexing the Cra-Lon property should be made, and passed by
the City Council.
Agenda Item No. S. Resolution No. 4441 - Cra-Lon Preliminary Plat
Cra-Lon Corporation also made an application to subdivide two
Assessor's Tracts, 2BA and 4CA into four (4) lots. One of the
tracts, 4CA, was the subject of annexation under- Agenda Item
No. 4. FRDO Staff Report # KSR-98-3 discussed several issues
related to the proposed subdivision. Depending on the zoning
applied to the property, Lot 1 does not meet the minimum lot
standards required by the Zoning Ordinance. Further, a low
area occupies a substantial portion of Lot 3 and over '-i of Lot
4. There is at least an argument that the low area is a
wetland protected under the Clean Water Act. The right-of-way
along the street perimeter of the property needs to be
enlarged and improved to accommodate additional traffic
generated by the development. Finally, the Workshop packet
from December 14, 1998 contained a memo from Amy Robertson,
noting that Cra-Lon property has benefitted from the
installation of sewer utilities to the site, per SID-337. Ms.
Robertson's memo indicates that the charges, although proposed
to be assessed against Cra-Lon, could not be assessed because
Cra-Lon was located outside the City. This office after
reviewing the matter would propose charging Cra-Lon $2,902 as
a condition of final plat, for infrastructure improvements
constructed under SID 337. Passage of Resolution No. 4441 will
allow Cra-Lon to proceed toward final subdivision of the
property, subject to the conditions contained therein.
Agenda Item No. 6. Ordinance No. 1297 - Cra-Lon Zoning - R-3
First Reading.
Cra-Lon corporation also made an application to zone the
property subject to annexation and subdivision, Low Density
Residential Apartment, RA-1. FRDO Report KA-98-6 was adopted
by the Kalispell City County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission as the findings of fact after being amended by the
2:\wp\agendamemo -2-
Commission. The Commission recommended Single Family
Residential, R-3 for the annexed property. Ordinance No. 1297
reflects the action of the Kalispell City -County Planning
Board and Zoning Commission, and a motion to adopt said
Ordinance is in order.
Agenda Item No. 7. Ordinance No. 1298 - Stanley Pine Zone Change
-- RA-1 to RA-3.
Stanley Pine has made an application to re -zone certain real
property located near the intersection of U.S. #93 North and
Indian Trail from Low Density Residential Apartment, RA-1 to
Residential Apartment Office, RA-3. The site is generally
adjacent to single family residences on the North, East and
West, and borders the Buffalo Commons "common area" to the
South. FRDO Report KZC-98-4, recommending approval of the
zone change, was adopted by the Zoning Commission and a
recommendation passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 1298,
implements the requested change, and may be passed by the
Council.
Agenda Item No. 8. Resolution No. 4439 - Budget Transfer - Youth
Athletic Complex
Included in your packet is a memo from Mike Baker discussing
the cost of future development of the KYAC. The memo sets
forth the estimated costs associated with paving Four Mile
Drive, the Soccer Parking Area and the Ballfield Loop Road.
Paving Four Mile Drive prior to utilization of the Soccer
Fields is a condition of the State Lands Lease, and must be
paved prior to utilizing -the Soccer Fields in the Fall of
1999. The interior roads and parking areas may be dust coated,
and need not be paved in the immediate future. The Parks
Department may be requesting funding to pave Four Mile as part
of the 1999-2000 budget. The second part of the memo deals
with a request to utilize $14,928.00 to purchase irrigation
equipment for the Soccer Fields. The funding for the KYAC
came from the Airport Tax Increment District. Although the
KYAC complex_ cost, less than anticipated, funds available under
the"' District` are not sufficient to fund the increase without
a budget transfer. Further, an incorrect carry-over balance
gave the appearance of an excess of funds available. A public
hearing on the matter is not required because we are not
increasing the appropriation. Resolution No. 4439 will provide
a mechanism to provide additional funding for KYAC by
transferring funds from the traffic signal at Rosauers, and
properly account for the carry-over.

Agenda Item No. 9. Opsand Addition - Final Plat
In February, 1996 the City Council conditionally approved the
Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Opsand Addition. Opsand Addition
is located near the intersection of Garland and Three Mile
Drive. All conditions required in the Preliminary Plat have
been met. A motion to approve the Final Plat for Lot 1,
Opsand Addition should be made and approved by the Council.
Agenda Item No. 10. Evergreen Hook -Up Request - Andrew Farris
At the December 14t' Workshop Session the Council discussed a
request by Andrew Farris to connect a 47 single family lot
subdivision to the Evergreen Sewer and Water District's sewage
collection system for treatment by the City of Kalispell. The
property proposed to be connected to the sewer is North of
East Reserve Drive. Under the City's inter -local Agreement
with Evergreen, no connections outside the District's
boundaries may be made without City consent. The property
subject to the request is several miles from the City limits
and outside the service area boundaries of the City's facility
plan. It is my understanding that Evergreen has consented to
the connection pending City action. The consensus of the
Council was to deny the request, with a direction to develop
a policy of future requests. The Council should by motion
either grant or deny the request of Mr. Farris.
Agenda Item No. 11. Authority to Bid -- Central School
Landscaping, Drainage, and Parking Lot
At the Council Workshop of December 141h, Susan Moyer informed
the Council that she had received plans and specifications
from SiteScape and Associates for the construction of a
parking lot with amenities on the North Parking lot of Central
School. I believe the estimated cost was in the neighborhood
of $53,000.00. The Council made some comments which will be
related to Mr. Lutz at SiteScape. Ms. Moyer would like to
proceed with bidding the project shortly after the holidays,
and is requesting Council authority to bid the project when
aay final arrangements can be made. A motion authorizing a call
for bids on the Central School Parking Lot should be made and
passed by the Council.
Agenda Item No. 12. Award Bid - Ambulance
The City Ambulance Department recently received bids for a new
module ambulance. Braun Northwest, Inc. was the lowest bidder
with a bid of $63,908.00. The Fire Chief has recommended
awarding the bid to Braun. A motion should be made and passed
authorizing the award of a contract to Braun Northwest, Inc.
I:\wp\agendamemo -4-
Agenda Item No. 13. Award Bid - Loader Backhoe
Several weeks ago the City received bids for a backhoe for the
Sanitary Sewer Division. Included in your packet is a memo
documenting the bid tabulations from Jim Hansz, Director of
Public Works. Long Machinery was the low bidder with a CAT
416 at $51,806.00. The Public Works Department has recommended
awarding the bid to Long. A motion should be made and passed
authorizing the City to enter into a contract with Long
Machinery for the backhoe.
Agenda Item No. 14. Appointment - Conrad Mansion Board
Gail Vidal, a member of the Conrad Mansion Board, has
expressed an interest in being re -appointed to the Board. Her
term is due to expire with the New Year. A motion to approve
Ms. Vidal's re -appointment for another term is in order.
Agenda Item No. 15. Appointment - City -County Planning Board
The City is entitled to an appointment on the City County
Planning Board and Zoning Commission. Four individuals: David
Logan, Don Mann, John Parsons, and Jean Johnson have applied
for the position. The Mayor, I understand, will be making a
recommendation for the appointment at Monday's meeting.
Agenda Item No. 16. City Manager Selection

the selection of the City Manager. Instructions as_ to the
parameters of any offer to be made should be discussed, if
