Mona. Charles, 1420 Lake Blaine Road stated that she does not lave 1 the city but is here in the hope of being mstrumental in taking t .e Lighting Standards an expanding them into a county -wide measure. re. Charles was 3 concerned that the standards were going to change fdramatically from what was adopted by the city council are. she feels that would be a dangerous step backwards. Charles said that as she drives home through the deveiopments rear Lake Blaine a lot of the builders are not putting in one porch f light but 4-6 lights around the houses and they are ruining 5 the sky. Charles said that it is important to look at what is best not only for Kalispell but for the entire galley. k Jackie Keiser, nu 5 - 2nd Avenue East gave a demonstration on the brightness of 40 watt naked light bulbs, ,vhich she I noted are being installed at most of the houses these days, and compared turn to frosted light bulbs of the same f wattage. Keiser has installed a. 25 watt aMDer light bulb o her -porch and .ote . that the brightness is great1v reduced.. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of November 8, 210 Page I of I') Keiser sea'd that by allowing use of a naked light bulb would set a dangerous precedence and she cautioned the board that they would be throng out 5 of the standards. Bruce Ruby, o5 Spring Creek Road in Somers suggested that the board take a light meter out to some of the parking lots and take a. look to see what .2 or .5 candle feet looks like. He said that a number might not work at one point but would work at another point and they should be flexible i that area.. He also suggested checking pole heights and lights at Costco and Lowe's, and sough of town, which. he feels are good examples and added that the poles at Home Depot are not good examples. Ruby distributed photographs of lighting in the Lowe's Home Depot area to demonstrate his point. Dave ColviH, representing the Flathead Building Association' presented copies of a letter on behalf of the Association Board of Directors, which e read for the board. (Copy I attached), Colvill added that they are all for the quality of life in the Flathead, however he said to make this ordinance retroactive to the residents of the city of Kalispell he believes would be contrary to all previous bufldm'g code requirements, ents, could e very expensive - o certain residents here in -the city, and could set a dangerous precedent for other building codes that might be adopted. He also noted that .i ght�r is a safety issue as far as being able to see where you are going at night, especially here 'n the meter months when it bets dark at 30 in the afternoon and doesn't get light until : oo in the mrnm g. Col ill said that those areas should be seriously' 2 orrs'dered before are.y decisions are made about the revisions 5 to this ordinance. f 13E T & ALICE FORD A request by Robert wee Ford for an initial onm I ANNEXATION QUEST designation of R-4, Two Farnily Residential, upon annexation o the city of Kalispell. The property is located on the south side of South Woodland Drive and contains approximately 1..23 acres. 3 STAFF REPORT KA- 5- 17 Garda Wilson., representing the Kahspe.l Planning Department presented Staff Report K.-05- 17 for the Board. Wilson rioted the location of the property on the sough side of i South Woodland give. The 1.23 acres would he annexed into the city of Kalispell and the property owner's intent is to create two single fa-mi.ly homes on two lots. 3 Nilson said that the property has a. natural boundary that slopes down from the southwest to the northwest and i provides two very good building sites, which would hoth front along South. Woodland give and added that because of the Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of November 8, 2 00 5 Pacre 2 of 1 emstence of water,, serer, and roads in that area, the property would be eligible for a rehrnm*ary plat waiver. caveat to the preliminary plat waiver would be to place a note on the final plat that waives the protest of a creation of an SID for sidewalks at some time in the future, as it wouldn't make sense to put sidewalks on a small section of roadway. Wilson said that another condition that would e placed on the final plat would restrict development of these lots to single family iwei f s. The applicant had no problem with these requirements. Wilson added that the property is currently in the county and is zoned R- , Single Family that has a I acre minimum lot size requirement. The property owner's are requesting R - omng, Two Family Residential, which is consistent with all of the other properties that are in Meadow lark Unit #2 are to the north which is Meadow Park Subdivision. Wilson mentioned e that some people in the area were co ceme . that a roadway might be extended From South Woodland Drive to Highway 93, but that is not the case and the cul-de-sac will remain in place. Another question was nether these lots would become part of the homeowners association for Meadow Park Unit #2 and Wilson said probably not because the homeowners association functioned rir, arily to provide maintenance of South Woodland and Russell Drives but since that subdivision has been annexed,, the city now maintains that road are.d the homeovmers association is not active. Wilson read an email from the property owner of lot 23 in Meadow Park Unit 2, Barbara Van Ess for the board. Van Ess stated that she has no problem with the proposal as long as they only lan to build two single family homes on the lots, anything else would be unacceptable. Staff is recommending that the Planning .nin Board adopt Staff ` Report KA-05-17 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the initial zoning for this property upon annexation be R - , Two Family Residential. QtTWTIONS BY THE E Taylor asked about neighbors eoncems and Wilson BOARD responded that the owner of Lot 1 met with her and brought up the issue of a common arFea strip between the road and the property and she thoroughly researched it and there is no cormmon area strip in between those two properties that would preclude the creation of these two additional lots along South Woodland Drive. Norton asked about the motes that will be placed on the plat are.d if they should e added to the oa d's recommendation. Wilson said that it was -Drovided to the board as a Kalispell City Planning o L Minutes of the mine,November 8_ 00 3 of 1 informational item because this subdivision will revie ve . as a minor subdivision and will not come before theplanning: and but WIR go directly to city council for approval. Gabriel asked about Mr. Lavm''s concern as to how the property would be accessed. Wilson said that access would be right off of South Woodland Drive, " L CAN' ' ENCMS Dawn Marquardt, Marquardt Marquardt Surveying said she represents the Fords and that she doesn't have anything to add because it is pretty much straight -forward, Marquardt said that ever{yth that staff said is ghat is prolapsed are. there are no surprises. This property wild be subdivided into two single family lots, if the annexation is approved. PUBLIC HEARING No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was:: closed. MOTION Taylor moves and Hinchey seconded a motion to adopt Staff Report KA-05-17 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalis e . City Council that the initial zoning for this propel upri annexation be -, Two Family Residential. BOARD ISC SS N Scutt asked a am' ff the board should e attaching the conditions discussed and Norton said that he trusts that ; staff will follow-through and be sure those items are placed on the final plat.

An amendment to the Kalispell Zoning r .mance initiated by LIGHTING STANDARDS ARDS the City of Kalispell to amend the lighting standards, This ZONING TEXT would amend the required full cut off standard from a. 70 AMENDMENTS degree angle to an 80 degree angle are.d would lower the maximum height wit from 30 feet. to 25 feet, and further recommend an administrative change to place the standards under their own chapter in the zoning ordinance, which would make them easier to find.. STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson, representing the Kalispell Planning Department noted this matter was continued from the board held a. public hearing. After the public hearing .rin the planni-ng boar. decided to schedule a work session on October 25, 2005 to further discuss the issues and.. ........................ Kalispell Clity Phemning Board Minutes of the meeting of'Nov r r P. 4of1 amendments. Wilson presented an overview of the Lighting Standards text amendments ents and the discussions at the recent planning board work session.. Wilson noted that this ratter came before the planning board to take care of a couple tenor housekeeping issues which dealt with revising the requirement for a full cut off lens from a 70 degree horizontal cut off to an 80 degree horizontal cut off because that was more in keeping with the industry standard. Because the increase in the degree of cut off would Provide for better light distribution, there was a proposal to reduce the pole height limit from 30 feet to 25 feet. With regard to non -conforming commercial. lighting Wilson said that rather than requiring the entire light pole to e brought into c ompha ice , i.e., if you have a light pole that is over 25 feet. M height, or 30 feet in height only the lens would need to be replaced with the fuH cut off lens rater than also reducing the pole height. Wilson said some interest has created regarding on - conforming lighting issues and when .on -conforming lighting would be brought mto compliance. Wilson said that when this went from the planning board to the city council the recommendation was that commercial. lighting be brought into compliance within five years. The city council gent one step further and said they would like to see commercial lighting roug .t into compliance within three years with a Possibility of two -one year extensions. Wilson said that she feels that the city council is fairly committed to bringing these non -conforming situations into compliance through a. rater limited amortization schedule. Additionally with regard to residential tial hght ng, staff has received some phone calls and has advised then to look for something that .oesn"t have an exposed bulb. Mercury vapor lights have a glare producing property that can be seen miles from the source and have eamed the nickname, light bombs. Wilson said that there is a. quick and easy fix to the mercury vapor lights, which is called a. ski ca.p that costs around $20-00. Wilson feels that some of the fears that there is going to be a huge expense in bringing light.g into compliance is a bit overblown. In reviewing the defmition of a full cut off leas Wilson feels that the current definition is good and is recommending that the definition proposed in the amendments at the October 1 I public hearing e approved, along with. the recommendations of how and where the light is measured from.., clarification that the standards would not su erce e any building or safety standards, and the requirements for non -conforming lighting that the lamps would he replaced rather than the poles. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the rn efincF of November _ ZI00 Page 5 of1 Wilson noted that the standards aloes for the use of up - lighting to illuminate flags and provided an example of down - lighting that uses a cone light mounted on top of a flag pole SO that the light would be distributed down. Staff is ree mr endm' g that the planning beard adopt Staff Report KZTA-05-7 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalls eR City Council that the proposed amendments to the lighting standards, that were presented to the board at the October 11, 2005 public hearing be adopted. QUESTIONS BY THE None. BOARD MOTION Hinchey moved and Taylor seconded a motion to adept Sta. Report KZTA-05--7 as fmdings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed amendments to the lighting standards be adopted. MOTION TO AMEND Norton moved and HuH seconded a. motion to amend STANDARD #4 Standard to change the pole height from 25 feet to 3 feet. BOARD DISCUSSION Norton explained the reason for his mot -ion, and cited the discussion from the work session regarding the height of the concrete barrier, which is are industry standard, and withthe height of the pole hedidn't see any negatives with allowing a. 30 loot pole. e .tz interjected that the board shouldn't feel bound by industry standards. He said the plans for Hutton Ranch Plaza show a. 2 -1 2 foot pole, with a 2-1/2 fot base which is a 30 foot pole. The board needs to decide on the pole height and the industry will adjust to those standards in the community. he discussion is whether a. 25 or a 30 foot pole is better, measured from the ground 1.o the bulb. Gabriel asked for clarification as to why Hutton was I approved at a. higher pole height if staff is recommending a. shorter pole height. Jentz said that Hutton was a PUD an { was approved with 30 foot light poles, which supercedes ents, these amendments, Gabriel asked for the height of the poles at Lowe's and. Costco and Wilson said 30 feet, } Schutt sa-id that he thinks that the amendment should be unchanged and left at the 25 foot pole height. The lower pole reduces the amount of bight spill and light t trespass .t neighboring properties, are.d would adequately light the parking areas, Wilson notedthat there really isn't a lot difference in the number of oles. With the 3 to I Kalispell City Plan i Board Minutes of the meeting of November Page 6 of 1 et Teen a 25 are. 3o foot taH pole at a.dt 7di�stributionra.ti o o feet you would d u with 5 light poles at 3o Feet and 6 at 25 feet. One of the reasons that they wort with 25 feet was what M. Schutt referred to as reducing direct glare. _ ROLL CALL The motion failed on a vote of 3 to 4, with Gabriel, Hinchey, Taylor r and Schutt voting in opposition. MOTION - COMBINE Norton moved and Taylor seconded a. motion to combine � STANDARDS .1 & # 12 standaids # I. & # 1.2 to read, "Light sources prohibited � all cases would be mercury vapor, clue to its poor cior, spectrum, bight intensity and inefficient energy use. All other: uses including A+si e!nal, commercial, industrial, street and security(including parking lots) would e acceptable including low pressure sodiurn, high pressure sodium., metal aide, incandescent,(including quartz), fluorescent and compact fluorescent and induction." BOARD DISCUSSION SSION Norton noted that this wording came from Mark Paulson of Morrison-Maierle Engineers and added that it would rovide further clarification and wouldportray the Mtent better. 5 Wilson said that staff agrees with this amendment, ROLL CALL - COMBINE The motion passedunanimously on a roll call vote. STANDARDS #11 & # 12 L MOTION " FLAG LIGHTING \j [f�} Norton roved are Taylor seconded a motion to amend the section on the illumination fags as follows -- "Flags of the United States or Montana, and flags displayed with either the United States • r Montana flags, are encouraged to be down -lit, but may be illuminated from below provided such lighting is focused pn'maxily on he individual flag or flags to hmit fight trespass and spill into "' the dark night sky."' o-i ROLE,► CALL - FLAG 1! — The motion passed u----------- r anim sl ors a. ,J. U cal. vote. LIGHTING MOT - NON- Norton moved and Gabriel. seconded a motion amend the ; C MF RMI G non -conforming commercial lighting section to read., "or by COMMERCE LIGHTING September 1, 2010, or when a. errr t is obtained to perform alterations to the property, whichever comes first." ROLL CALL - NON- The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote. COMFORMING COMMERCLkL MOTION - NON- Norton moved and HM*chey seconded a motion to amend the C M ' RMINr non -conforming residential bighting section t read, "by � EN' �► Sept , 20 , or whew a e - it �s o tag c tc �r ' ��� Kalispell City Planning Bard Minutes the meeting ofNovember , 2-005 Pa i o alterations to the property,, whichever comes first." 5 BOARD DISCUSSION Schutt said in the FBA letterMr. C vifl pointed out that this is a quahty of life ordinance and we are making it retroactive, which we have never done with building codes. e added that this isn't really a building code, it is a behavior code. Schutt wondered why they would tie residential lighting to a bu dm permit when it r not di code car permit later'. Norton said that when someone is spending $100,000 on a revision to their house they can bring their lights into compliance t that time. Schutt said for example someone who has poor residential lighting could get a rote in the mail regarding omplai ,t from a citizen through the planning office. Then this section would be set aside and the complaint .t r a id be dealt with s violation of law in advance of the 2 0 10 dead m* e. Norton said that they have discussed similar compliance issues before and he thinks that Mr. C vi l brought good point, what are the penalties for nor .-e m h nee• Is that something that the board will handle Wilson said that the Kalispell Planning Department would handle it as part of the standard code comphance process. Wilson said that the office has very good luck with getting 3 compliance without actually having to take people to court and added. they provide them �t .-Lu to etc ��.rve compliance. � ROLL CALL - NON- The motion passed unanimously on a roll eaH vote. CONFORMING RESMETLk MOTION - 40 WATT BULBS Hull moved and Norton seconded a motion to amend the residential hghting section. to include that the standards would not apply to hghtsthat are 40 watts or less. i BOARD DISCUSSION Schutt asked if the mot -ion rueans that moire of the standards apply if the bulb is 40 watts or less. Hull said yes. Wilson said that the bulb would not reed to be shielded if it was 40 watts or less. Gabriel said that them anyone could. � have a 200 foot pole with n unshielded light on it. HuH added that you, could have a porch fight and not have t i worry about the city sending you a letter, Wilson said for clarification if you had a fight fixture that is opaque and not clear, then that provides enough diffusion of � the light to make it compliant. What we don't want is a bare bu.1b. Wilson added ''what Hull i yng Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the .meeting of November 8, 200 'age 8 of 13 a. bare bulb if it is 40 watts or less Without a diffuser or shielding. Taylor added that the hoard saw a demonstration of a bare 40 watt bulb at the meeting tonight. Wilson thought this was the reason that Hull put this motion on the table to see if the board would support it, Taylor said that the standards should be put to .rest, give it a. trial for a. year, and filter out those types of problems if they show up. He can't imagine a. ground -well of opposition whether it is 40, 30 or 180 watts. inch y said that he agrees with Taylor and added that Gabriel had a. good point too. They have to he careful to say that none of this ordmance applies because you can have a Zoo foot pole with a. 40 watt bulb on top. Wilson said that i a resid ntial hghting apphcation you could have a unshielded light if it was 40 watts or less. Wilson said that it would st l be subject to the height limitations. Hinchey said so then they would just throw out the shielding part. Wilson said yes. Hi c .ey added that still Wives him trouble because th.en he could have 50 - 40 watt bulbs on his front porch, which would completely defeat what the board is trying to accomplish. lch.y said that he would be opposed to this amendment. Huu said he wanted here to he a reasonable 11mit. This is government, and we are going to be imposing this on the ordinary homeowner and we should say that 40 Pratt bulbs, which are pretty dim, should be allowed to stay as they are. Hull said that almost every- porch light is probably unshielded and the standard3 would make every porch light in tow. lRega. Wilson said that she agrees that they should see how these standards work but on the other hand she also had a thought that perhaps the city could purchase some very inexpensive clip on shades that are $5.00 or less that can b put over a light. It would be an easy fix that the building or planning department could sell at cost. Taylor said that if that were to become a headache the 'board could revisit that Mmonths to come. Schutt said a comment that was discussed earlier is that watts are not the same for fluorescent as watts for metal halide and so on. If you are tag to shield certain small lights it should be approached through lumens rather than ratt,s because it gives you something that you can a.ctuafly measure. Hull said that they were talking 40 watt incandescence or equivalent. Schutt said that he can understand what Mull is trying to do but he feels that the wattage should be much less than 4. Kahspefl City PlanningBoard Minutes of the meeting of November, 2005 Page 9 of B 4.. ........................ - ...-. Norton said that he had considered a motion to prohibit the use of clear bulbs,and added he doesn'twant this harder for a residential homeowner than it has to be. Taylor said that just saying that clear- bulbs are to be discouraged wou d "t solve all of the problem lights in the city. Hull suggested that the board vote on the 40 watt issue and; then he could make the amendment that clear bulbs over 2 watts are discouraged. Wilson noted t .at when you say dls our 1. ed that ready do sn"t ream anything. Norton said his point is that he wants people to be able to read this and say that they have noticed that a frosted bulb really errates the problem.. Wilson doesn't agree that a frosted bulb in and of itself eliminates the problem. It does "t provide enough diffusion of the light. Gabriel mentioned that the amber bulbs are clear and wo .ld . have to be prohibited also. Taylor again said that they should go with what they have and if it becomes a real bone of contention in this community the board could then revise the standards. Hinchey said that he agrees with Taylor or but the city getting into telling people what size of bulb, or whether it is clear, amber, or frosted is overstepping their bounds. There is a ordinance and as Wflson pointed out there are simple ways that this ordinance ante could e met. Hinchey said lets try it for six nits or a year. ROLL CALL — 40 WATT The motion failed on a vote of 1 to 6, with Schutt, Norton, BULBS Hinche , Taylor, Gabriel and Albert M opposition. . MOTION - IDA WIEB SITE Norton moved Gabriel seconded a motion to - � el c e REFERENCE reference to the Inte .ationa . Dark skies Association web site in the standards to provide users with additional information. BOARD DISCUSSION Wilson agreed this was a great idea because the site is full of good f orr atlon, includffig homer to be a good neighbor. Wilson suggested the follow wording, "For additional information regarding lighting standards please refer- to the Inter ational. Dark Skies Association web site at . . ............. . ." Schutt said that it should be made clear that it is a great resource but this is the code. ROLL CALL — IDA WEB SITE I The motion passed unanimously on a roll oaH vote. REPEENCE I � BOARD DISCUSSION I_ Norton. . . .. .. .....- reviewed the section regarding temporary 1i tiro.. ... Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of November 8, 'age 10 of 1 that was submitted by Michael Blend and suggested that with some revisions these items should be incorporated . into the ordinance. ance. Wilson didn't think that temporary, hazard, or vehicular lighting was an issue. Wilson did think that holiday lighting should be exempt and would be an appropriate inclusion. Wilson reviewed the section on a waiver to the standards which was also submitted by Michael Blend. Wilson suggested that a. provision for a waiver will be provided if the applicant can document that meeting the specific provisions of this code would rest in an unsafe condition, and impede normal operations. Schutt asked why holiday lighting would automatically be exempt. Wilson said that holiday hghts are seasonal and it would be impractical ctical to try to regulate them. Schutt said that then .oli a.y lighting would not be held to the sane light trespass standards as everything else. Wilson questioned homer you would do that. Schutt responded with the sane foot candle at the property line. Hinc ey said that holiday lighting tends to be very low wattage unless you are living next door to the Griswal l's (Christmas Vacation). Also it is for a few weeks and most could live With it for a fear weeks. Hi .chey doesn't like the idea of giving someone a. provision for a waiver because he can't imagine that there would be a $20,000 retrofit required, and if it were required someone would be in front of this board to talk about it. H chey said that once they start with the waiver process they will get people in here teU tier . that it is a financial hardship. Taylor said that there will always be sorneon.e putting up Christmas lights and tiers leaving them up aH year long are they might even he ornery enough to turn them on in the middle of July. Wilson said that they could put in some dates and Taylor said that he thought they would be micro - managing if they did that. Leaving it with common sense for holiday lighting would e enough. Hull said that a waiver is too complex and if this whole thin is being driven by complaints, holiday lighting should not he exempt. Question was called. MOTION - HOLIDAY Norton moved and Taylor seconded a motion to make holiday LIGHTING lighting exempt from the provisions of the standards.

Norton rioted that Debbie Street came before the board and discussed what the board had already talked about which was moving n the focus of the Growth Policy update to the Two Rivers area., and with the sale of the properties and the pending development the board should hold a. work session to discuss the Two Rivers area. There was discussion regarding the date of the work session which was scheduled for Tuesday, , November 29, 2005, :00 p.m. to :oo p.m. in the city council chambers. Schutt rioted that the board had discussed a community forum south of town along the Highway 93 corridor and asked what the stags of this form was? Wilson said that she had a work session with the council and they tamed about doing a community meeting after the "lohda s and before the developers start brealdng ground. Wilson thought it would be good if both the planning board and council attended along �� sor .eor�e from a the � lrc Works Department to answer questions about water and sewer. Wilson said that it is important to give the public good information and there is a reed to hold a public meeting for the people who live along the corridor. Staff could put together a. list of everybody within 500 feet of either side of Highway 93 and coordinate with Gardner's Auction to perhaps hold the raceting at their facility mid -January.
