Wilson, Senior Planner James H. Patrick, City Manager SUBJECT Milbrandt Conditional Use Permit for More Than One Principal Structure on a Single Parcel in an RA-1 District MEETING DATE: January 3, 2005 BACKGROUND: This is a request for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a three unit apartment on property where a single family residence currently exists. The parcel contains approximately 12,000 square feet and is located at 1711 Fifth Avenue East. The property is zoned RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment, which lists multi -family dwellings as a conditionally permitted use and allows more than one principal structure on a single parcel subject to a conditional use permit. The property is located on the east side of Fifth Avenue East, north of 18tb Street East, directly across from the Birchwood Apartments The Kalispell City Planning Board met on December 14, 2004 and held a public hearing to consider this request. At the meeting the staff noted that although the project can meet the letter of the regulations there are some concerns related to the on street parking, nrrPcc frnm the 1-)riv2t� nr.rrPgr, rnnri anri the nverall r.ircnIntinn and fiinrtio-nine of the. -'ite_ However, the staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. At the public hearing Barry Milbrandt, property owner and developer of the site, stated that he also owns the property to the east of this site that was approved for a 14 unit apartment last year and that he will use the access road for this project as well as the apartments. There were not other comments presented to the board regarding this proposal. After the public hearing, the board discussed the proposal and expressed concerns about the on -street parking. They noted that it seemed the site was crowded since the only way to accommodate the parking was to place it directly in front of the existing single family home and put overflow parking on the street. There was a general consensus that the density was too high for the site. A motion was passed unanimously to amend the recommended conditions of approval and limit the further development of the site to a duplex rather than triplex building. It was the intent of the board to have all of the parking on site rather than on the street. The Kalispell Planning Board is forwarding a recommendation to the city council that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the amended conditions outlined on attached Exhibit A.

NW BARRY AND INGRID MILBRANDT REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TRI-CITY PLANNING OFFICE REPORT #KCU-04-11 DECEMBER 7, 2004 This is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a conditional use permit to construct a 3 unit apartment building in an RA - I zoning district. A public hearing to review this request has been scheduled before the planning board on December 14, 2004 in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the city council for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A. Petitioner/ Owner: Barry and Ingrid Milbrandt 2955 Farm. to Market Road Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 253-5174 B. Size and Location: This parcel contains approximately 12,017 square feet and is located on the east side of Fifth Avenue East directly east of the Birchwood Apartments in the 1700 block of Fifth Avenue East. The property address is 1711 Fifth Avenue East and can be described as Assessors Tract 5-15 8v 5ZA located in Section 17, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M, Flathead County, Montana. C. Summary of Request: This is a request for a conditional use permit to construct a three unit apartment complex at the eastern end of the property. This would be a single structure with two stories located on the same property as an existing single family residence. The property is zoned RA-1, Lour Density Residential Apartment, which allows more than one primary use per parcel and lists multi -family dwellings as a conditionally permitted use. Approval of a conditional use permit is required to allow both the two structures and the multi -family dwelling. The existing residence on the property would continue to be used in addition to the triplex. The dwellings would be accessed via a 40-foot wide private road easement to the north of the property that is part of a separate parcel. This easement is approximately 185 feet long total and leads to property also owned by the applicant. Approximately one year ago the planning board reviewed and the city council approved a conditional use permit for a 14 unit apartment building to the east of this property. The same access easement for the 14 unit apartment building is proposed to be used to access the triplex and single family dwellings. A five-foot sidewalk is proposed on the north side of the private roadway easement as part of the conditional use permit for the 14 unit apartment building The main parking area would be located on the north side of the proposed triplex and the existing single family residence with three overflow parking spaces located on the street along Fifth Avenue East. D. Existing land Use and Zoning: This property currently has a single family residence located near the center of the site which will be retained. The property is zoned RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment. This zoning district has a Kf' U-0 - age ref 'f minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet for the first duplex plus an additional 3,000 feet for each dwelling beyond a duplex. Multi -family dwellings are listed as a conditionally permitted use. Additionally, the zoning allows more than one primary structure on a single parcel subject to a conditional use permit. This approximately 12,000 square foot parcel would comply with the density allowance of one dwelling per 3,000 square feet with the single family dwelling and the tri-plea and would be at the maximum limit. E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: This area is generally residential in character along Fifth Avenue East and to the east. The surrounding zoning is a mix of City and County zoning. This block provides a transition area between the more intensive uses located along Third Avenue East to the west that are coznmercially developed. North: Single-family residences, City RA-1 zoning East: Undeveloped, City RA- I zoxaing South: Single-family residences, City RA- i zoning West: Birchwood Apartments and single-family residences, City RA- 1 zoning F. Relation to the Growth Policy: The Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 recognizes this area as suitable for Urban Residential development. Anticipated density would be between three to 20 dwelling units per acre. This could actually be considered a transition area between high density residential and urban residential because the area along Fifth Avenue East is anticipated to develop as high density residential. However, the development as proposed is in substantial compliance with the Urbana. Residential density designations making the proposal consistent with the type of development that would be anticipated under the growth policy. G. Utilities/Services: Sewer service: City of Kalispell Water service: City of Kalispell Solid Waste: City of Kalispell Gas: Northwestern. Energy Electric: Flathead Electric Cooperative Phone: CenturyTel Police: City of Kalispell Fire: Kalispell Fire Department Schools: School District #5, Kalispell EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST The application is reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. 1. Site Suitability: a. Adeauate Useable Space: The proposed RA-1 zoning allows a density of one duelling unit per 3,000 square feet. This property contains a total of 12,017 square feet and is approximately 69 feet wide and 173 feet deep. Access to the site is via a private offsite easement to the north that is Pa -C 'A " proposed for use as an access easement to the previously approved 14 unit apartment complex to the east. Parking is located directly off of the access road and 10 foot side yard setback area. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance under Section 27.26.030(d) states that "required parking spaces shall not be located in any required front or side yard..." The RA-1 zoning designation proposed for this property has a side yard setback requirement of 10 feet. In conclusion, it appears that there may be adequate usable space on the site for the proposed triplex and single family residence with the use of the private access road. b. Adequate Access: Access to the site is by way of a proposed private access road that would be 40 feet wide along Fifth Avenue East and would extend to the previously approved 14 unit apartment building to the east of this site. The property was annexed, zoned and granted a conditional use permit for the apartment approximately one year ago. It is noteworthy that the property owner proposing this triplex owns the property where the access easement is located and the property to the east proposed for the 14 unit apartment building. The proposed access will be a paved roadway with a minimum pavement width of 20 feet along with a five-foot sidewalk and landscaping along the outer perimeter of the north and south boundaries of the property. Access to the parking area interrupts the smooth single access to the apartment complex to the east, but it would be difficult to say that the proposed change to the access easement for access to the parking area for the triplex and existing single family home compromise the overall safety or function of the access road. C. Environmental Constraints: The site is generally level, and no floodplain, surface water or wetlands are mapped on the site. Part of this does have shallow ground water and areas of hydric soils. However, this particular site is not within the areas mapped as having hydric soils nor does it appear that there are saturated soils on or around this site. A drainage plan will be required to be submitted to the Kalispell Public Works Department which addresses the on -site retention of stormwater as well as the extension of water and sewer to the site. No significant environmental constraints are apparent on the property. 2. Appropriateness of design: a. Parking and site circulation: The Kalispell zoning ordinance requires 2.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit for multi -family dwellings and two for a single family residence. The tri-plex development requires '"1'.) parking spaces and two for the existing house for a total of 9.7 or ten parking spaces. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance states that "required parking spaces shall not be located in any required front or side yard..." The RA-1 zoning requires a minimum 0-foot setback from the side property boundaries. The zoning ordinance also allows overflow parking to be located on the street with each parking space requiring 23 feet of length. The three parking spaces proposed on the street marginally meet the 69 foot width requirement. The lot frontage for this property is 69.32 feet. Page _3 L�f 7 Parking can be accommodated on the site but the proposed layout leads to an undesirable situation of the parked cars backing into the access road. There is 10 feet of back-up space that is the setback area. This interrupts the lineal road design to the apartments to the rear, but does not necessarily create an unacceptable safety risk. Circulation within the site appears to be adequate. It appears that the area within the parking lot can accommodate an emergency turnaround area which would be required since the access road exceeds 150 feet in length. Additionally, because of the nature of this development there should be an area that can accommodate bus access for the local public transportation providers, Eagle Transit. An adequate bus pick-up and drop-off location should be coordinated with Eagle Transit and incorporated into the site design and circulation. b. Open Space: No specific open space requirements exist in the zoning regulations for multi -family developments. The setback requirements of the RA-1 zoning are 20 feet in the front and rear and 10 feet on the sides. The building setbacks have been met. There are not specific requirements for a play area or park area. There doesn't appear to be any potential recreational areas except the "front lawn" of the residence to the west which has been landscaped. C. Fencing/ Screening/Landscaping: The site plan proposes landscaping around a portion of the perimeter and within the site. There is some existing mature landscaping to the west along the street frontage associated with the existing residence. Landscaping is indicated along the access road on either side of the roadway which also creates some buffering between the access road and the residences to the north. There is an existing but dilapidated wooden fence along a portion of the northern boundary of the access road. The fence should probably be replaced with the development of this site or with the development of the 14 unit apartment complex, whichever comes first, with a new wooden fence to provide some screening between this development and the single --family residence that will be most impacted by the use. The site plan meets the zoning, requirement for landscaping of at least five percent of the total parking lot area. d. Sims: No specific dimensions or drawing of a sign was included with the application. The zoning allows one sign 24 square feet in size; and a height not to exceed six feet. The application indicates that a small sign will be placed near the entrance along Fifth Avenue East. A permit for the sign would be required. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Schools: This site is within School District #5. Lirnited impact is anticipated from the proposed apartment complex. 10 Parks and Recreation: Dry Bridge Park is within reasonable walking distance of the site to the east approximately a quarter of a mile and a K T Q3-' e �,f County park in the Greenacres area that is closer, but without easy direct access. Impacts to the parks are anticipated to be minimal. C. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed residential facility. d. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed apartments. Building access as well as the number and placement of fire hydrants will need to meet Uniform Fire Code requirements and be reviewed and approved by the fire marshal. A letter from the fire marshal has been included in this packet which states that the development must meet the fire flow requirements and access requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and that the buildings need to be clearly addressed. e. Water and sewer: Water and sewer requirements will be identified during construction and be extended at the owners' expense. Initially it appears that an eight -inch water main extension from. Fifth Avenue East will be required in order to comply with fire flow requirements and hydrant placement and location.. Additionally a sewer line will need to be extended from Fifth Avenue East to the site in order to serve the development. Water and sewer services can be provided by the City of Kalispell without significant impacts to capacity. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by a private hauler or the C ltv of Kalispell. F,nclosrires, will he nlaced and installed in ar.mrdar1r-e with their requirements. Space exists to meet any necessary requirements for this use and an approximately 10 x 20 foot area is indicated on the eastern portion of the site. g. Streets: Typical weekday traffic trips as estimated by the 1991 Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation manual is based on 6.47 trips per dwelling or a daily weekday estimate of 20 additional vehicle trips per day. The impacts on the overall roadway system should be relatively insignificant. 4. Neighborhood Impacts: Development and land use impacts of the proposal are anticipated to be typical of this type of development and with other apartment developments in the immediate neighborhood.. Traffic generation for an apartment complex of this size can be anticipated to be relatively insignificant. Except during construction, no significant impacts are anticipated from noise, vibration, or dust. Some outdoor lighting is proposed on the parking lot. Lights should be directed downward and shielded to prevent glare onto the neighboring property. No impacts from smoke, fumes, gas, odors, or inappropriate hours of operation are anticipated beyond the norm of an urban density neighborhood. A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the she approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. As of this writing, staff has received one inquiry from a neighbor but no comments. Page '3 ,f . Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The proposal is generally compatible with the immediate area, where a mix of house types is anticipated and encouraged. This is in an area at the edge of the City's commercial area which has developed as a mix of uses to the west. The zoning proposed is RA- , Low Density Residential Apartment, and the growth policy anticipates this kind of development in the area. The proximity of this site to commercial services which are within walking distance make this an ideal location of this type of development with the exception of the lack of good pedestrian access in the area. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated. As previously mentioned, the proposal is compatible with the neighborhood, and the development and land use impacts would be typical of that anticipated for the area. RECOMMENDATION MENDATION Staff recommends that the planning board adopt the staff report #KCU-04-11 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposal will be developed in substantial conformance with the approved site plan and other application materials except as modified by these conditions. That the conditions associated with this permit shall be met prior to occupancy of the building. 2. That a document be recorded at the Flathead County Clerk and Recorders Office granting access to the site via the private road easement to the north prior to the application for a building permit. 3. The access road located to the north of this property which is off -site shall be developed as proposed under Kalispell Conditional Use Permit KCU-03-7 including paving, curb and gutter, sidewalk along the north side of the property and a five foot landscape buffer on the north and south sides of the roadway. 4.
