REVEEW AND FINDINGS OF FACT
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with statutory criteria
and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Fire: This subdivision would be in the service area of the Kalispell Fire
Department once annexed to the City. The property would be considered to be at
low risk of fire because the subdivision and homes within the subdivision would
be constructed in accordance with the International Fire Code and have access
which meets City standards. All of the lots will abut a street that has been
constructed to City standards. In addition a 30-foot wide easement is being
recommended along the eastern boundary of lot 3, adjacent to the area
designated as future highway right-of-way. Within this easement the fire
department is recommending that a 20 foot wide driving surface be installed
along the entire length of the easement and integrated into the roadway to provide
for a 'r turnaround.
2
Hydrants will be required to be placed in compliance with the requirements of the
International Fire Code and approved by the fire chief. The fire access and
suppression system should be installed and approved by the fire department prior
to final plat approval because of potential problems with combustible
construction taping place prior to adequate fire access to the site being developed.
Flood n : Flood Insurance Rate Map community panel number 300023 1815
revised in September of 1992 indicates a small area in the northwest portion of
proposed lot 1 to be within the 100 year floodplain. However, the floodplain
shown on community panel number 300023 1815 is an undelineated floodplain.
City staff has concerns with an undelineated floodplain and its proximity to the
proposed subdivision.
Upon relaying the staffs concerns with the consultants for the subdivision, the
consultants agreed to the following condition to be placed on the final plat: "Prior
to final plat approval the applicant shall commission and cause to be completed a
detailed floodplain study of the stream reaches of the unnamed ephemeral stream
that directly affects the proposed subdivision. Such study is to be executed in
accordance with the current Montana DNRC guidelines for watercourse surveys
and guidelines for zone A. The extent of the 100r-year floodplain shall then be
clearly and obviously demarked and labeled " 100-year floodplain. No -Build Area"
on the face of the final plat." By requiring further study on the undelineated
floodplain and showing its location relative to the subdivision, staff concerns
would be satisfied.
Access: Access to the subdivision will be from Valley View Drive, a County road
in fair condition. A new internal roadway will provide access to the proposed lots
and be constructed to City standards. The new roadway will end in a "'T'" in order
to allow fire equipment to turnaround. A roadway easement will be extended to
properties located south of the proposed subdivision boundary to allow future
development on these properties to utilize a connected street system instead of a
series of cul-de-sac roads.
Noise: The future highway bypass will be located east of the proposed
subdivision. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) provided the
Planning Department with a noise contour map of projected noise contours along
the highway bypass. MDT also provided the Planning Department with a
document titled Information for Local Officials on Highway Traffic Noise. This
document provides noise level guidelines for specific uses along the proposed
highway bypass and some specific noise abatement measures recommended to
mitigate noise impacts.
The consultants provided the Planning Department a copy of the preliminary plat
with the projected noise contours of the future highway by-pass overlaid on the
lots. A noise decibel level of 64 is shown along the eastern edge of the property,
adjacent to the highway by-pass. A decibel level of 62 is anticipated in the area of
lot 3 with the noise decibel level decreasing to 60 in the area of lots 2, 4 and S.
The document provided by MDT states that noise impacts occur when noise levels
approach a decibel level of 67 in residential areas. With the proposed road right-
K
of --way along the eastern edge of the subdivision, the distance has increased
between future homes on the site and the highway by-pass, thus reducing the
noise impacts to those future residents. one lot, lot 3, has potential building
sites which come close to a noise decibel level of 64. On this lot the Pi ' g
Department would recommend that a note be placed on the final plat
recommending construction of the home on lot 3 utilize sound -absorbent
materials along the side of the house facing the highway bypass. This is based on
information contained in the document titled Information for Local Officials on
Highway Traffic Noise provided by the Montana Department of Transportation.
On -site Improvements: The City of Kalispell has required past subdivisions to
complete a minimum um of two-thirds of the necessary infrastructure (water, sewer,
roads, etc.) prior to filing the final plat. The city staff recommends this condition
on each plat because staff would life to insure that prior to issuing a building
permit on a new lot, there is access which meets the fire departments minimum
standards as well as water and sewer services. The City has in the past allowed
subdivisions to file a final plat and subsequent home construction to begin prior
to a majority of the infrastructure installed. Problems have arisen in the past
with insufficient water for fire suppression and sewer mains not working properly
as new homes are being occupied. Therefore, in order to mitigate these potential
impacts to the public's health and safety, staff is recommending a condition
requiring a minimum of two-thirds of the infrastructure be installed prior to final
plat.
B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: Chapter 7 of the Kalispell Growth
Policy, Goal 4, states, "Development should be compatible with important wildlife
habitat and travel corridors as identified in Appendix A." Appendix A, resources
and Analysis Section, of the Kalispell Growth Policy provides a series of maps
indicating important riparian wildlife habitat, and habitat areas for White Tailed
Deer, mountain lions, elk, Mule Deer, and moose. These habitat maps are based
on information provided by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Information
Services Unit.
The 2 acre project site falls within an area of White Tailed Deer density of less
than 15 per square mile. This density designation is also found throughout the
City of Kalispell and areas to the north and west of the City. The resource section
of Appendix A states that the areas with the greatest densities of White Tailed
Deer are those areas with the highest white tailed deer habitat qualities (e.g. the
Flathead/ Stillwater complex) , or the areas which tend to winter large deer
numbers (Fogs Lake - Lone Pine area). There is the possibility of white tailed deer
to be found in and around development located on the project site, however,
development of this property will not have an impact on winter range areas or
prime riparian wildlife habitat.
C. Effects on the Natural Environment,
Surface and groundwater: This subdivision will be served by public grater and
sewer thereby m. r mizing any potential impacts to the groundwater. As stated
previously, a portion of the site is within the 100 year floodplain as shown on the
Flood Insurance Rate Map community panel number 300023 1315.
A Depth to Water Table map dated March 13, 2006 indicates the water table is
1
between 15-20 feet below the surface in the northeast corner of the project site
with the remaining portions of the site having an approximate water table depth
of 20-50 feet below the surface. Information in the Depth to Water Table was
provided by the Flathead Lakers in consultation with the Flathead Lake Biological
Station.
Drainer e: The site is relatively level throughout and does not have constraints
related to wetland areas. Curbs and gutters will be installed along the internal
subdivision road as well as the project sites frontage along Valley View Drive. An
engineered storm drain management plan will have to be developed to address the
runoff from the site. The proposed storm drainage plan will have to comply with
the City of Kalispell's standards and State standards and will be required to be
reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department.
D, Effects on Local Services:
Water: Water service to the subdivision would be provided by the City of Kalispell
and extended from a crater main that lies to- the north of this subdivision along
Valley View Drive. The main would be extended from its current location south
along Valley Vieux Drive. Most likely the water system will be completed prior to
final plat submittal. The crater system for the subdivision will be reviewed and
approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department and the Kalispell Fire
Department as part of the development of the subdivision. There is adequate
capacity within the City's crater system to accommodate this development.
Sewer: Sewer service will be provided by the City of Kalispell with an extension of
existing sewer mains from their current location along Valley Vieux Drive, north of
the project site. As with the crater main, the sewer main would be extended south
along Valley View Drive in order to serve the subdivision. Design and
construction of the mains will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public
Works Department. There is adequate capacity within the sewage treatment plant
to accommodate this development.
Roads: An existing County road, Valley View Drive, currently provides access to
the subdivision site. The developer is proposing an internal roadway to serve the
lots within the subdivision.
Valley View Drive is a county roadway which connects Foys Lake Road, north of
the project site, to Sunnyside Drive, located southeast of the project site. Valley
Vieux Drive is currently 20 feet wide with limited shoulders and a water collection
ditch on both sides of the road. There are currently 10 homes served by Valley
View Drive from its connection with Foys Lake Road until Valley View Drive turns
east to connect with Sunnyside Drive. The proposed subdivision would add 5
residential lots which would use Valley Vieux Drive. The Kalispell Public Works
Department is recommending that Valley Vieux Drive, along the projects frontage,
be improved to current city design and construction standards including a curb,
gutter, boulevard and pedestrian path. In addition to the improvements related to
the subdivision the Planning Department recommends that the owners of the lots
be required to waive their right to protest a future special improvement district
(SID) to upgrade Valley View Drive. Due to the increase traffic and associated
impacts the subdivision would have on Valley View Drive, improving a portion of
0
the roadway and waiving the right to protest an SID would mitigate impacts to the
roadway.
The developer is proposing to construct one internal roadway, El Dorado Road, to
serve the lots within the subdivision.. The road would have a 28-foot wide paved
driving surface within a 60-wfoot right-of-way and provide a 60-foot road right--of-
way connection to the property immediately south. City staff is recommending
that an additional 30-foot wide easement be placed along the eastern boundary of
lot 3. The easement would allow for utility extensions to the property immediately
north and for the construction of the required ""I" turnaround for emergency
vehicles. The easement could provide a potential emergency ingress/egress to the
property immediately north of the subdivision depending on the development
layout of that property in the future.
City staff did not recommend a full 60-foot road right-of-way to the north because
future right--of-moray acquisitions for the highway bypass on Tract 3D, the property
immediately north of this subdivision, will be taking a large portion of the eastern
part of the property. Staff felt that the future highway right-of-way along with a
potential to create a connecting 60-foot wide road easement on Tract 3D would
unduly limit the property for future development.
The access roadway, El Dorado road, would be constructed to city standards
including curb, gutters, sidewalks and landscaped boulevards. The Public Works
Department is recommending the roadway be constructed to city standards from
it's intersection with Valley View Drive to within 30 feet of the boundary between
the 60-foot road right-of-way and Tract 3DD, located immediately south of the
proposed subdivision. This remaining 30 foot strip of road right-of-way will be
required to be ally improved with only base road materials. Full road
improvements would be completed once properties to the south propose to further
subdivide.
The preliminary plat has indicated the future highway bypass corridor in the
northeastern portion of the property and labeled this area as such. The area
included in the bypass corridor is approximately 5,700 square feet in size. As a
recommended condition of approval the area shown within the future highway
bypass right-of-way shall be platted as a separate parcel for future acquisition.
Schools: This development is within the boundaries of the Kalispell School
District # 5. The school district could anticipate that an additional 3 school aged
children might be generated into the district at full build out. This number is
used because it tapes into account pre-school aged children, home school
education options and private school education option. Not all of the children
who live in the subdivision will be attending public schools. This would have a
potentially significant impact on the district, particularly on a cumulative level
with other developments pending within the district - both urban and rural
particularly with high school -aged students.
Parks and ORen Space: The state and local subdivision regulations have
parkland / open space requirements for major subdivisions in the amount of 11 %
of the combined area of all land to be divided into lots 1/2 acre and smaller. The
area in lots is 1.17 acres creating an average lot size less than 1/2 an acre. 11 % of
m
the combined area in lots will require S,f o6 square feet in park area or cash in
lieu equivalent. The developer is proposing a cash in lieu payment to meet the
parkland requirements. The Parks and Recreation Department agrees with the
developer's cash *n lieu proposal because the land dedication would be so small.
Police: This subdivision would be in the jurisdiction of the city of Kalispell Police
Department once annexed to the city. The department can adequately provide
service to this subdivision, however the cumulative impacts of growth within the
City further strains the department's ability to continue to provide the high level
of service the department is committed to.
Fire Protection: Fire protection services will be provided by the Kalispell Fire
Department once annexed to the City, and the subdivision will be required to
comply with the International Fire Code. The fire department will review and
approve the number and location of hydrants within the subdivision as well as
fire flows for compliance with applicable fire codes. Although fire risk is low
because of good access and fairly level terrain, the fire department is
recommending that access to the subdivision and the hydrants are in place prior
to final plat approval and f or use of combustible materials in. construction.
Solid waste: Solid waste will be handled by a private hauler in accordance with
State statues and taken to the Flathead County Landfill. There is sufficient
capacity within the landfill to accommodate this additional solid waste generated
from this subdivision.
Medical Services: Ambulance service is available from the fiLre department and
ALERT helicopter service. Kalispell Regional Medical center is close, less than 3
miles from the site.
E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural water user facilities: The site is
currently used for residential purposes and not farmland. The Agricultural Soils
Classification map in Appendix A, Resource and Analysis Section, of the Kalispell
Growth Policy indicates the soils on the 2 acre project site are not considered
prime farmland soils. The map information was provided by the Natural Resource
and conservation. Service.
In addition, the location and proximity to urban services make this property
suited for suburban scale development as recommended in the Kalispell Growth
Policy Future Land Use map. Therefore, development of this property will have
relatively little impact on agricultural uses within the Valley and no impact on
agricultural water user facilities since this property will be served by a public
water system.
F. Relation to the I alis pe ll Growth Policy: The Kalispell Growth Policy Future
Land Use map for the area indicates this area is anticipated to be developed as
Suburban Residential. Areas designated as Suburban Residential are anticipated
to be served by community water and sewer and have good access to services and
public facilities. The Suburban Residential designation is intended to reduce
density and development impacts 'in sensitive areas and existing rural
neighborhoods. This land use designation anticipates a density between two and
four dwe}ling units per acre. The proposed subdivision has a density of 3
7
dwelling units per acre, within the anticipated density of the suburban residential
designation.
G. Compliance with zoning: This property has been proposed to be zoned R-3 an
Urban Single Family Residential district with a minimum lot size requirement of
7,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet. All lots would comply with
the size requirements for the R--3 zoning if the preliminary plat is approved.
Section 27.22.020(3) (g) of the Kalispell zoning ordinance states that no accessory
structure or use shall be constructed or established on any lot prior to the time of
the substantial completion of the construction of the principal structure to which
it is accessory. If the subdivision is approved, there are several outbuildings
including a large shop that would not be located on proposed lot 1, where the
existing house is currently, thereby violating section 27.22.020(3) (g) of the zoning
ordinance. A note on the preliminary plat indicates that the owners will take
down the existing shop however, in order to fully comply with the zoning
ordinance the shop and any other outbuildings will need to be removed or located
on the same lot as the existing house.
H. Compliance with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations: This subdivision
complies with the Kalispell subdivision Regulations and no variances have been
requested.
