7. Resolution 5291 - Adopting Kalispell Transportation Capital Improvement PlanREPORT To: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Transportation Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
I'EETING ]ATE: August 4, 2008
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell Impact Fee Advisory Committee has worked on the development of
Transportation Impact Fees for more than a year. Several options have been reviewed and discussed with
City Council. Each option has been based upon a specific plan of growth -related capital improvements.
Prior to the adoption of a Transportation Impact Fee, the City should adopt: a Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) as the basis of the fee. After much work and many revisions, the attached CIP reflects the final
recommendation of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee for projects eligible to be included in calculation
of impact fees for the City of Kalispell. The projects in the CIP are those identified in the Kalispell Area
Transportation Plan Update (2006) as required over the 25 year planning period of the plan. The
Transportation Plan Update involved a planning area much larger than the City of Kalispell. The projects
shown on this CIP are only those within the City of Kalispell. The Impact Fee Advisory Committee's
recommended Transportation Impact Fee is based upon the listing of projects shown in this Capital
Improvement Plan.
At the July 28, 2008 work session, Councilman Hafferman recommended including project MSN-
I I in the Impact Fee CIP for transportation as a City project. This was reviewed:
Councilman Hafferman described the project as a new arterial street. In fact, project MSN-I I is
described in the transportation plan as a collector street, which is a street that provides for traffic
circulation within and between neighborhoods. Project MSN-I I is further described in chapter 9 of the
Transportation Plan Update, pg. 9-7, as a new roadway needed to relieve travel pressure on Meridian
Road and its intersections from the developing area (currently known as willow Creek). The willow
Creek project area has been annexed into the City and as a result Councilman Hafferman is correct that it
should be shown as a City project.
However, following further review of the Willow Creek project and additional discussion of the
matter with Mr. Jeff Key, the consulting engineer who prepared the City's current Transportation. Plan
Update, it was readily determined that the need for this project is clearly and directly linked to the added
traffic resulting from development of the Willow Creek residential project. The new roadway section as
currently planned lies wholly within the willow Creep project boundary and is a development
requirement upon the project necessary to prevent traffic impacts on Meridian Road that would be caused
by this development.
Unlike the Rose Crossing project (MSN-9) which addresses a long-standing need for an east/west
arterial corridor connector that benefits the whole community, MSN- I I is limited in its ability to serve the
wider community by being truly a neighborhood roadway, beginning and ending within the willow Creek
project area, and with a narrowly focused goal of preventing the addition of unmanageable traffic from
the new willow Creek development onto Meridian Road. Including this project in the CIP would result in
an increase on the impact fee calculation paid by all development. It would also result in the potential for
impact fee funds being used to reimburse private development costs of infrastructure required solely to
meet the needs of the private development project.
The IFAC members will consider the foregoing information and advise staff whether this project
should be included in the transportation impact fee CIP. Their meeting will be on August 6, 2008. If the
IFAC determines it is appropriate to include MSN- I I in the CIP a new recommendation will be brought
to City Council as an amendment of the CIP presented for adoption at this meeting.
