is in the public interest, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has based its findings upon the
following findings of fact:
A. EFFECTS ON HEALTH AND SAFETY:
Fire: The area is anticipated to be at low risk from
wildfire due to the urban location, lack of woody fuel and
good access to the site. The proposed subdivision is not
expected to significantly impact the service provided by the
district.
Vegetation and Tc n gxaz?hy: The site does not have
significant native vegetation. The property is relatively
flat and has historically been used for ballfields.
Proximity to the_Kalispell Airport: If the City moves to
expand the airport boundaries and initiates airport
improvements, portions of this property may extend into the
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) depending on whether a B-1 or B-2
airport design is implemented.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
The proposed subdivision is not mapped big game habitat winter
range and does not appear to provide habitat to significant
wildlife other than some birds and small animals.
C. EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
The subdivision will be served by City of Kalispell water and
sewer. Ashley Creek is in the vicinity, but is far enough

appear that this subdivision will have a significant impact on
surface water, groundwater or present significant problems
with erosion.

and sewer service to the newly created lots. No significant
impacts can be anticipated to the City with regard to water
and sewer services as a result of the creation of this
subdivision.

93 South. Once these proposed lots are developed, review of
the approaches will be required to address the additional

the Montana Department of Transportation has been obtained for
the proposed locations of the approaches. Review of the
design and construction by the State will take place at the
time the properties are developed.

District #5, Kalispell. This subdivision is anticipated to
create no additional school -age children for this district

impact on agriculture in the Valley.
