Conrad reminded the board that with the Growth Policy amendment the planning hoard has been working on, this particular area is being recommended as a commercial designation. The land use designation currently on these properties is Neighborhood Commercial and Suburban Residential designation which is inconsistent with the proposed commercial designation and the use proposed by the applicant which is an auto retail store.

Conrad said no the only 2 properties are the Eisinger property, 10 acres right at the intersection of ffighway 93 and West Reserve and the Davis property immediately north of that property. Hull asked if the Davis' property has a different proposal than the Eisinger lot. Conrad said the Davis property was rol osed for s iR over arking from the Eisinger auto mall Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May , 2006 Page 5 of 14 site. Hull stated that his raj or concern s that the proposal did not affect the bypass. Conrad said the latest plans on the bypass shows frontage road along the E singer and Travis property* The owners are aware of that and will be working with MDT and city staff on approach permits and site access. Hull asked if the planning board will see this project again. Conrad said no, but it will go through Site Review are. Architectural Review for any subsequent .eve o rx er t. Norton added that here are 2 approaches right now, one on Highway 3 and one on West reserve which will have to be approved MDT. Conran sa.id that the property is vacant now and certainly c ian *ng from residential to are auto mall they Will have to work with MDT to change the nature of those approaches. APPLICANTS/ AGENCIM Johna. Morr'son, Land Use Planner with. Schwarz Er gmeering & Architecture introduced Kim Larson the lead Architect on the project and presented the board with site maps of the Eisinger auto sales proposal. Morrison said that Efsinger has been planning to relocate to this particular site for over a year and they recently had the opportunity to purchase the property to the north owned by Lyle Davis. Also recently Eisinger had the opportunity to purchase the Honda dealership and their idea. was to relocate both of these dealerships on to one property. Morrison said the site works very well for Elsinger and is an appropriate use for that intersection. They have been corking closely with MDT on obtaining the appropfiate approach permits and Morrison noted that their site plan does include a small frontage road that goes along this property on Nest Reserve Dfive and now along Highway 93. Schutt asked if construction has already started an Morrison said the stormwater drainage system has been replaced and grading has been done. She added that the reason they warted to go ahead with the Grout Policy amendment was that they were going to miss out on the building in.g season and wanted to start the project as soon as posse e. Hull asked if the approaches are right in and might out. Morrison said that they are not sure yet since the discussions with MDT are not f nahe .. Hull asked if they are going to ask for a left hand turn. from Highway 93 into this property and Morrison referred to the project architect, Kim Larson.. Larson said the approaches that the board is seeing have already been approved by MDT. They are right in and right out and have approved a. pull out onto Highway 93 mnt ou.t consideration of the bypass. When the frontage road. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 Page 6 of 1 cores in, which he mks will be soon, they will be deahn with a frontage road which will have a whole different set of parameters that they will have to negotiate with MDT. Larson added that since the frontage road has not been built yet their site ma.p shoves both approaches and the frontage road.. They are respecting the frontage road for what they are planning and when 1t comes in they will work with MDT are. get their approaches in the right locations with the frontage road.. PU-HEARING No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was close.. MOTION - GROWTH Schutt moved and Albert seconded a motion to adopt Staff POLICY AMENDMIENT Report I GPA-o -1 as findings of fact and approve the signing of Resolution KGPA- -o l by the Vice President and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Growth Policy Amendment be approved. BOARD DISCUSSION Schutt said that in his opinion this project should be held to similar standards that were required for Home Depot, C stco, and Lowe's. One thing that was discussed, Schutt say. , was the display of outdoor merchandise. Jentz said that N C s plan on Section 36 specifically addressed r hibitin outdoor displays. Therewasn't a similar requirement on the Mountain View .plaza PUD, where Home Depot is located. Jentz said they started meeting with Eisinger more than a. year ago and they ultimately decided that they would proceed with the County. It was a foregone conclusionthat they would eventually he coming back to the city. In December they started earnestly talking with the city and asked how soon the plain amendment for North. Kalispell would e completed so they coup. then could come in udder the amendment and move forward.. Staff asked them to gait until the amendment was completed but Eisinger had a timeframe where they wanted to start construction to be up and running. entz added this area. 1s being recommended for a commercial land. ,.l.se designation and the Stillwater Rarer is a to*cal boundary to end major commercial up the highway. Staff has discussed. limiting s gna e, pedestrian access, and landscaping along the highway and the frontage road with the applicants. Staff has also talked to them about the design standards that the city would like to see at the entrance highway. Jentz said that the frontage road will be constructed with the bypass which is weeps from being on the table. Once the EIS 1s rel.ea.sed. MDT will be acquiring land for the frontage e roads in earnest. When the frontage r'oa.d is built will depend on here the lass project starts. CityPlanninga},��Board y�+�€}ly�ispell Minutes ,i i�l� meetingof MayJ, 06 Page 7 of 1 Hull asked what the Highway Community Entrance standards were. Jentz said the standards give special considerationcons*lderation to setbacks landscaping, bike paths and limiting signet' He added since the standards were not approved yet the city doesn't have the poorer to implement the standards at this time. Hull asked if the Stillwater River is a dividing point why wasn't it a part of this proposal. Jentz said that when someone e comes in they have a. right to make a charge to their property but riot change the]'r neighbor's property. Hull asked if they are annexed into the city would they have to follow lighting standards, because this is a problemwith the current Fisher Motors property. Jentz said that when they are annexed into the city they will get a city building permit, go through city Site & Architectural Review, and vrfll have to comply with all city standards including the lighting standards. Norton asked for a description of the setbacks, landscaping, and buffering that will be required for this property from the proposed Highway Community Entrance Standards that are proposed* Jentz responded. Norton said since the Highway Commum'ty Entrance Overlay District standards are not approved what will prevent them not following the standards. Jentz said there is nothing in pace to require that the standards are met but these issues will be discussed during site Review and Architectural Review in detail. Jentz added this is not a conditional use pert so they cannot apply conditions. Je .tz said that the board was getting into site design which will be addressed later in the process and the board should divorce themselves from Eisinger Motors and consider wheter this is an appropriate place to have commercial development and those Highway Community Entrance standards implemented. Schutt said the board does feel helpless and frustrated when they are reviewing a. Growth policy Amendment for one piece of property. It is a major piece and part of the Highway Community Entrance cor. * dor. Schutt said that they have to depend on the good faith and honesty of this developer as they go through Site Review and Architectural Review. Hull said this is one of the most critical pieces of property along that entire highway and he is really concerned. ed. till suggested to make it clear it the minutes to the council and applicant what the hoard is thinking. Schutt said this is a unique, quirky site. well below the h.i�hwav Fade level and in his opinion one. - of the saving Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 Page 8 of 14 raees of the whole Home Depot complex is that it is 30 feet down. Schutt said that this property will not be the visual impact that It would be at grade with a 20 foot setback. Hull said he warms some kind of assurance that this will not affect the bypass. He has no objections with the request for a commercial land use designation at this location. ,filbert said this property it is going to be commercial and they can't base their decision on the fact that it is Fish er because it will, be commercial regardless of what goes in there. They shouldn't make a. pre -determination of what It will look like and discuss landscaping, etc, until It gets further dovm along the review process. Norton agreed that this is a major intersection in Kalispell. e said the board has been wording on the Kalispell North Growth Policy Amendment as quickly as they can. He has no objection to the commercial designation but homer it is designed for commercial use is his concern. He doesn't want to see the sane landscaping as Home Depot because that is not his idea of are entrance corridor for a major intersection. In 2 months there will be an updated Groff Polley and they can just walk up to them and ask for the -2 zoning and hopefully by theme. these Highway Community Entrance standards will be in place. ROLE. CALL The motion failed on a. vote of 2 in favor and 2 in opposition. Hull stated that he voted in opposition because they would like to see the controls that the -2 zoning M the city would bring as compared to the county. Hull said that he feels that the Growth l oRcy Amendment is premature and it does not provide enough safeguards for protecting the transportation corridor for the bypass and for the future. Norton stated that the reason he voted irk opposition is more on the limes that this is a. major intersection and they need to have more control on the appearance the propel would have. Norton said that the amendment is premature because the 'board is working on a. Growth Policy Amendment for this area which this property would fall under. Jentz noted that this will then go to council without a recommendation and suggested that the board still address the zone change. MOTION ANNEXATION & Hull moved and Albert seconded a motion to adopt Staff E'I `IAL ZONING Report IA-o -o3 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the initial zoning of this property upon annexation be --2 General Commercial, contingent on the eouncil's action on the groom policy amendment. BOA DISCUSSION Schutt asked if this growth policy amendment ent gets approved by council and in Se temb er the Hi h ay Corr .urn it y Kalispell City Planning Beard Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 Page 9 of 1 Entrance standards ards are approved, which would take precedence. Jentz said that if they get the plan amendment: at the council level a -2 zoning and pull their building err r 't July 1, they v with the codes and standards that are in affect on July 1. If they decide not to break ground until next April 2007, tier building permit will be premised on whatever standards are air place at that time, or they go home tonight and pull a state building erm t and. they construct it out in the county because they already have county -2 zoning. Hull said he wants to see this area in the city because it gives the city control over the lighting, the appearance and several other factors that are considered critical. Hull said the fast thing that they want to see is county commercial at the entrance to the city. Schutt said he has a. level of faith and Est M the applicant and was willing to take that step to approve the groom policy amendment. t. This is going to be a commercial piece of. property eventually and. -2 zoning is appropriate. Norton said e fully believes that this parcel should be annexed into the city and. the -2 zoning is appropriate. ROLL C The motion passed unanimously on a roll calf. vote. OLDBUSINESS: CASINOS TEXT A request by the City ofKalispell to amend Sections A3M MENT 27.14.030(5), 27.15.030(3), 27.16.030(8), 27.17.030(4) and 2 # . .o3o ' of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The amendment is intended to review the 30foot setback for casinos from churches, schools, parks, residential zones, , and other casinos, The current text requires the Soo foot setback for casinos from churches, schools, parks, residential zones, and other casinos as measured from property line to property line. The City is considering amending the zoning code to maintain the requirement for a. conditional ail use permit but ether decrease or eliminate the Soo foot setback requirement. STAFF REPORT KZ ' - - Conra.d stated that at the public hean*ng in April the text 2 amendment regarding the Soo foot buffer for casinos from churches, schools, parks, residential zones, and other casinos was tabled and the board directed staff to come back with some language that would aRo tr a casino to be located within the Soo foot buffer if there were certain circumstances resent at the site, such as a topographical separation between land uses, or a highway, etc. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 Page 10 of 14 Staff is recommending that the planning board adopt Staff Report KZTA - - 2 as fmdings of Fact and recommendthe Kalispell City Council that the teat amendment be approved with the following language; Replace sections 27.14.030(5), 27.15.030(3), 27.16.030(8), 2 .1 .030 and 27.1 .030( which state: Casino if Soo feet or more from churches, schools, parks, residential. zones, and other casinos, measured from property line to property line. With the following. - Casino (see 27.35.11 o Additional Requirements for Specific Conditional Uses Under Chapter 27.35 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance add the following section: Section. 2 7.3 5.110: Casino 1. Casinos shall be a minimum of Soo feet from churches, schools, parks, residential zones, and other casinos, measured from property line to property hne. If topographic or physicaJ circumstances ces exist which fog a separation or barrier to easy access between a casino site and a. church, school, park, residential zones, or other casinos, strict interpretation of the Soo foot standard may be waived. A topographic or physical barrier is defined as are arterial highway four or more lanes, airport, river, streams., or steep embankment, all of which impedes or prohibits easy visual or physical access. 2. if a casino is proposed. within 300 feet of a church, school, park, residential zones, or other casinos, as measured from property line to property line, pursuant to Section 2 .35.110 (1), then the followm*g design standards as a. pro ria.te may be placed on the casino: a.. Limiting orprohibiting the on -premise signa e or building design from using the following: Any terms such as gaming, gambling, cards, dice, chance, etc. Any reference to any associated activity or any symbols or words commonly associated with gaming. 0 Any words, terms, figures, art work, or features intended or designed to attract attention to the fact that a casino is on site. Neon hfzhtin Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 Page I I of 1 . Li-miting the number and location of entrances into the casino. c. Increasing landscaping requirements in order to create a buffer between the casino and adjacent land uses. BOARD DISCUSSION I None. MOTION Schutt moved. and. Hull seconded a motion to adopt Staf' Report KZA-o -o2 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the text amendment ent e approved with the language as noted above. BOARD DISCUSSION Schutt questioned the use of language that refers to topographic or physical barrier. He said if that Soo foot setback is there to preserve some of those qualities is a. topographic barrier a substitute for that. Conrad said are example, le, which was brought up at the last council meeting, was the VFW wanted to locate on top of a very steep hill rear Woodland Park.'Their couldn't locate there because obviously they were w1thin 30feet of a park, But a circumstance where a. VFW club was located up a steep slope from a. park there probably would not be are interaction between visitors in the park and patrons at the VFW. Conrad felt that the public would rterret this language broadly but it would be the lann g department's ent's intent that these requests would be reviewed on a case-y case basis to d.ete=lne the impacts. Schutt noted that if the topographic or physical barrier .er impedes or prohibits visual or physical access do we chose one or the other of those. He added that ion's lark is very visually accessible from the proposed Hilton property therefore the board would ignore the visual accessibility. Conrad said they have added signage language either limiting or prohibiting the signs all together so that you don't have the flashing, .ing, detached sign right out front. Conrad said council elected to prohibit casino signage for the Hilton Inn altogether. Schutt understood the process of the PUD which enables the casino to be part of the Hilton complex but is having a hard time with amending the casino regulations for the rest of the city. Norton added that the language staff developed is exactly ghat a. majority ofthe board requested. Schutt said that when a text amendment is passed they don't know how it is going to be applied in the future and they can only judge by the words presented for the amendment. Gormand noted that the beard can amend the language that he suggested. Huff said that he really likes the lirn.�.ts the si s amd Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of May 9, 2006 'age 12 of 14 wished. they could rake that city-wide. Hull suggested if it would be possible to keep the restriction for churches, schools, and have 'it only as parks and residential zones with the barriers. Albert wondered ff this would every be an issue 1f the city didn't stand to gain a. lot by cedlowing casinos near these other uses. Norton said that 1s hove they came to this point. Albert added that he doesn't think the text should be charged. entz suggested that the board could chose to do nothing because there is a struggle for some board members with why are we atering down what is a good standard. Jentz rioted that the council felt that the PUD process was used inappropriately. This board said no entrances to the casinos and the council added no signage and a customer has to now be inside the Hilton to even know that there is a casino inside. The Board can suggest that life continues on as it is and if someone wants to go through a PUD process and subject themselves to heanffigs, etc., they can. Schutt suggested a work session be held on the text amendment. Norton noted that the board could table the discussion,, n, hold a work session, change the language presented., or vote on it rt as is. MOTION Norton moved and Hull seconded a motion to table the teat amendment in order to hold a work session. ROLL CALL The motion to table passed unanimously on a. roll call Grote. MOTION TO APPROVE The motion to approve failed due to the motion to table. KALISPELL NORTH Jentz rerm'nd d the board of the Kalispell North Growth GROWTH POLICY Policy Amendment Open.
