SUBJECT Notice of Intent to adopt, amend or deny a Growth Policy
Amendment request for Wayne Turner and scheduling of said
public hearing
�IlEETING DATE: July 2, 2007
ACKGROUND: Wayne Turner has requested a growth policy amendment on a 30±
acre portion of a 140 acre site. Mr. Turner is requesting to amend the growth policy
designation on the property from Industrial to Suburban Residential. The 140 acre
project site is located on the north side of Foys Lake Road 1/4 mile west of the current
city limits along Meridian Road. The project site's eastern boundary is located at the
intersection of Foys Lake Road and. Valley Vier Drive. From its eastern boundary the
project site continues west just over 1/2 mile along Foys Lake Road and ending at the
eastern boundary of the Stoneridge subdivision. Ashley Creek makes up the northern
boundary of the project site with the future Highway 93 bypass right-of-way providing
an eastern boundary to the project site. The properties included in the overall project
site can be described as Tracts 1, lAI, 1B, 1BA, 1BB, 1D, 1DA, 1 E, 1F, 1FA, 1FB, and
7AB located within the N 1/2 of the N 1/� of the S. 1/2 of Section 13 , Township 2 S North,
Range 22 west, P.M. M., Flathead County, Montana.
The planning board held a public hearing on the requested growth policy amendment
on April 10, 2007. The information from that meeting including minutes, staff report
and application materials will be forwarded to you. However, State law requires the
City Council to pass a Resolution of Intent to Adopt, Revise or Reject a Growth Policy
Amendment prior to actually taking action on the proposed amendment. In, addition,
it has been the policy of the city to hold a public hearing on any Growth Policy
Amendment. Therefore, in order to tape action on the requested Growth Policy
Amendment, the City Council will need to approve the Resolution of Intent at the July
2 meeting. This would then set the stage for the public hearing and council action at
the July 16 council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution of Intent to Adapt, Revise or Reject
the Growth Policy Amendment request and setting the public bearing to act on the
amendment for July 16 would be in order.
ALTERNATIVES:
Respectfully submitted,
Sean Conrad
Senior Planner
As suggested by the City Council.
