SUBJECT Conditional Use Permit for Glacier Village Greens
Homeowners Association Community Center
MEETING DATE: April 5, 2004
BACKGROUND: This is a request by the Glacier Village Greens Homeowners Association
for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a community center for use of the
residents of the subdivision. This property is in an area zoned R-4, Two Family Residential,
which lists community centers as a conditionally permitted use. The building footprint
would be approximately 64 by 36 feet or 2,300 square feet in size and would be single
story. The community center would be used for a variety of activities including exercise
and crafts classes, birthday and wedding parties, bingo as well as other meeting type uses.
It is intended that the use of this facility would be for residents and their guests and would
not be rented or used by the general public. Hours of operation would vary depending on
the activity or event, but generally it would be anticipated that the hours of operation
would be between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, but not necessarily on a daily basis.
The building is being proposed in an area of the subdivision that has been traditionally used
as a park area. There is playground equipment and a grassy area that would be retained
with the equipment being moved to another location to accommodate the building. This
property, Lot 167, adjoins to homes to the north and an undeveloped park area to the south.
The area to the north would be landscaped between the property boundaries to mitigate
impacts. Impacts should generally be minimal with some occasional additional traffic and
parking which might take place during special events. A 24 foot wide paved private access
road will be developed to the community center along with a paved parking area. Some
identification signage
The Kalispell Planning Board held a public hearing on March 9, 2004 and several people
from the neighborhood and Glacier Village Greens community spoke. There were some
questions regarding parking, traffic, landscaping and hours of operation which were
answered by the homeowners association representative. The board discussed the
proposal and potential issues. A motion to forward a recommendation for approval of the
conditional use permit by the Kalispell City Council was passed unanimously by the board
subject to the recommended condition.
It may be noteworthy that neither the staff nor the planning board have recommended that
sidewalks be installed along the frontage of this lot and this was not an issue that was
presented as a concern by the residents of Glacier Village Greens. It may be an issue that
council wants to discuss at the meeting.

I. Sate and Location: This is a proposal to construct an approximately 2,300
square foot community center for the Glacier Village Greens Homeowners on
property located on the west side of West Nicklaus Avenue on property
containing approximately 1.78 acres. The property can be described as Lot 167,
Glacier Village Greens Phase IV located in Section 32, Township 29 North, Range
21 Nest, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
2. Nature of Request: The Glacier Village Greens Homeowners Association is
applying for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a. community
center for use of the residents of the subdivision. This property is in an area
zoned R-4, Two Family Residential, which lists community centers as a
conditionally permitted use_ The building footprint would be approximately 64
by 36 feet or 2,300 square feet in size and would be single story. The comm.uxiity
center would be used for a variety of activities including exercise and crafts
classes, birthday and wedding parties, bingo as well: as other meeting type uses.
It is intended that the use of this facility would be for residents and their gsaests
and -would n-ot be rented or used by the general public_ Hours of operation would
vary depending on the activity or event, but generally it would be anticipated that
the hours of operation would be between 5:00 AIM and 10:00 PM, but not
necessarily on a daily basis.
The building is being proposed in an area of the subdivision that has been
rraditionadv used as a park area. There is playground equipment and a grassy
area that would be retained with the equipment being moved to another location
created a less intrusive storage area and provided the homeowners with
a nice green space and park area with the storage facility was once
proposed. In addition to this 1.78 acre lot, there is an undeveloped park
area to the south and to the Vest of this property. This park area also
functions as a storm water retention, area, but has been developed with a
walking path so actually serves two functions: storm water retention
and green space / park area. The building, parking and access area will
utilize a relatively small portion of this lot and there is adequate usable
space to accommodate all the needed improvements.
b_ Adequate Access: Access to the community center and park area will be
via a 24 foot wide paved access road_ Access will be further developed
from an existing access off of West Nicklaus Avenue, a City maintained
roadway_ Access to the site is goad.
C. Enviroj]Mental Constraints: This property is generally level and has few
if any limiting environmental constrains. Topographically and
envirozimentatly sensitive areas lie to the west of this property, but are
off site and not part of the consideration of this request.
a. 2aarking Schean!2: parking for the community center will be provided
around the building to the east and to the south with a total of 23
parking spaces proposed. All of the parking and access areas will be
paved_ The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of one
space per 250 square feet or in this situation a minim= of nine parking
spaces. An additional 13 spaces are being provided to accommodate
visitors. Access to the parking area will be via a 24 foot wide paved
private driveway from West Nicklaus Avenue. AU of the parking and
access complies with the standards in the City of Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance. It is likely that there will be sor ae golf cart parking probably
in the grassy area around the building, but that has not been shown on
the site plan.
rJ. � raffic Cirrulati.nrn: Traffic circulation and access to the site is generally
good -with West Nicklaus Avenue providing access to the community
center. No secondary access to the site is required. There is a paved
area to the north of the building that will be used for pick up and drop
off to the building. Traffic circulation in and around the site is generally
good and will. be adequate to accommodate the anticipated vehicle �adzc
associated with the operation of the facilities as well as for emergency
vehicles.
C. Open Space: No formal open space requirements are required under the
zoning ordinance other than :he required setbacks. however, there are
lawn areas that exist ail around this building and will. be --maintained as
green space after the corrununity center has been built as well as play
equipment and wallc�n- paths in `he area.
h _ Irn=ediate 21eizhborlm!2d Impact: The general character of this area is
residential i:n mature. The construcuion of the conununity center w>il
provide additional recreational opportunities for the residents of Glacier
Village Greens_ Impacts with regard to hours of operation., noise and
trafric should generally be minimal. Buffering will be provided between
this property and the homes to the north to mitigate visual impacts
associated with the building and parking % driving areas. The impacts
associated with the center will be rninirrtal.
A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the
subject property approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. At the time of writing
the staff report, one inquiry from an adjoining property owner was received Who did
not voice an objection.
This project went before the site development review committee for consideration and
the only comment / recommendations from the committee was that the facility should
be restricted for use by the residents and guests of Glacier Village Greens and not
available for rent or use by the general public.
It is recommended that the Kalispell. City Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-04M
1 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Conditional
Use Permit be granted subject to the following conditions:
I. That the development of the community center shall be in substantial compliance
with the approved site plan.
2. That the number and location of fire hydrants comply with the requirements of
the uniform fire code and be installed at the approved locations prior to
combustible construction.. That the building be clearly addressed and visible from
West Nicklaus Avenue. That interior access shall be designed to provide a
minir um clear width of 20 feet for emergency vehicle access with no parking
signs as may be required to maintain width
3. - se of the community- center shall be limited to the residents and guests of
Glacier Village Greens and shall not be made available for use or rent by the
general public.
4. The conditional use permit is valid for a period of 18 months from the date of
authorization after which time if the commencement of activities has not occurred
the permit shall be void. A comixiuous, good faith effort to design the building,
obtain dn.ancin.g and other ac+dvities shall. be considered a conunencement.

RE_ Attached Conditional Use Permit
Dear Narda:
RECEIVED
FEB 2 2004
Please find the materials necessary for the submittal of a Conditional Use Permit on behalf of
Glacier Village Greens Homeowners Association. The intent of this application, to be reviewed
by the Kalispell Planning Beard and the Kalispell City Council, is allow the HOA to build and
operate a Community Center on Lot 167 within the Glacier Village Greens community.
This proposal for a Community Center will be a wonderful addition to the Glacier Village Greens
(GVG) community. As future phases of GVG are built out, there will be approximately 1000
residents within this subdivision. Many of the residents are older, single and would utilize this
convenient location for a wide variety of activities. Preliminary drawings for the proposed
building show a 64' x 36' footprint. I've attached a site map showing the location of Lot 167 in
relation to the overall Glacier Village Greens development, as well as a site map showing the
existing structures and then the proposed building, with the existing outdoor restroom facility
and the proposed road layout.
A-D). To address traffic flow and control, please see the attached site map. Ten parking
spaces are required by the Kalispell Zoning ordinance for a Community Center of this size.
There are additional spaces provided. The roadway to the Center will be paved to a 24' width.
Traffic will enter and exit via this private roadway from Vilest Nicklaus Avenue. All parking and
loading will be off-street. Refuse and service areas are located at the north side of the building.
E-F), This building will be served by Evergreen Sewer and Water as is the entire Glacier Village
Green development. This lot is largely bordered by HGA°s vacant parkland. There are two
residential lots that back up to Lot 167, and could potentially be impacted by the Community
Center. The HGA proposes a landscape bufferto help mitigate the impacts that may occur from
traffic and activity. The site has been used for recreational purposes in the past. There is
playground equipment on the property and this will be retained, although it will be moved to
accommodate the building.
G-0. Signage will be minimal (directional or address) and comply with zoning regulations.
Please refer to the architectural rendering attached for elevations of the proposed structure.
This will be a relatively small structure with a single story and an average roof pitch. The open
spaces are noted on the site layout and will still be available for recreational purposes.
J-K). The Fours of operation will be variable. it is conceivable that there will be activities, i.e.;
special events (parties. weddings, baby showers, family reunions, subdivision picnics, etc.,) can
the weekends. There will be everting meetings and classes, BINGO, lectures, and other
activities. During the daytime, there will be meetings, exercise and craft classes, etc. It will
be anticipated that activity would cease after 10 pm., and not commence until S am. As with all
concentrated areas of use, there will be some additional impacts to the neighborhood. There
will be additional traffic to the lot and some lighting for security and safety requirements. There
will not be an undue amount of noise, dust, odors, fumes or vibration associated with this
project.
This is a quality project needed and requested by the members of this Community.
Please feel free to call should you have any further questions or concerns.

SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Thursday, February 26, 2004
Building Department Conference Room
ATTENDING:
Andrew Sorensen, Asst. City Engineer Roger Krauss, Police Chief
Jim Stewart, Fire Marshal Narda Wilson, City Planner
Craig Kerzman, Building Official Jim Atkinson, Agency on Aging
Jeff Clawson, Plans Examiner Steve Herzog, DOT
OLD BUSINESS:
1069 North Meridian — Michael Blend; addition/conversion of a garage to office — Jeff Clawson
indicated that additional engineering is needed for the building permit. Plans with landscaping
and drainage were shown to Andrew Sorensen. The project was approved subject to the
following conditions: Subject to coordinating the landscaping with the Parks Department.
Walgrens — Walgrens submitted and updated its project layout to comply with our dimensions,
shifting the building and adding a landscape buffer. Steve Herzog said their access onto
Highway 93 can only be "right in, right out"
Since there is a lot of stacking on First Ave West at Highway 2, Narda Wilson suggested that
both entrances on First Ave W be reduced to 30' in width with the north entrance reduced by 10'
on the north side and the south entrance reduced by 10' on the south. Steve Herzog said
reducing the 30' width would reduce the access to two lanes which is safer. After looking at the
traffic patterns within the site, it was recommended that the 30' drive by the drive -through
window be necked down to 24, one-way to avoid drivers disrupting the circulation of traffic on
the site, and driving through to access the main roads. To accomplish this, Walgrens can either
move the building over or widen the landscape area next to the drive through.
PJ said that Walgrens made architectural changes to the building and sign to improve the
building.
There was some concern that the placement of the trash compactors might impede traffic and
create a problem for the Fire Department, Jim Stewart will coordinate with Walgrens.
Walgrens was given conditional approval on their project with the following conditions:
1. Narrow the accesses on First Ave W to 30' and coordinate this revision with the
Department of Transportation and the City of Kalispell, Public Works.
2. The Highway 93 access is to be "right in, right out".
3. Neck down the drive -through area to 24'.
4. Submit a revised site plan.
5. Make sure the compactors meet Fire code. Coordinate this with Jim Stewart, Fire
Marshal.
6. Submit drainage information to Andrew Sorensen, Public Works.
7. Coordinate the landscaping with the Parks Department.
Planning Board Items:
Northlands PUD Highland Development - The road access to this development was discussed
by Narda Wilson.. The developer will be required to connect to roads in Empire Estates. There
will be two additional road accesses onto Northridge and Foxhill. There is a consideration to
build a road half way between Three and Four Mile Drive. The Department of Transportation
has two plans to access Stillwater with an overpass over the Highway 93 Bypass or with a "right
in, right out access only onto the Bypass.
Narda Wilson suggested that a temporary road to Stillwater be built before the Bypass is
built in order to accommodate the traffic flow. The condition of approval would be based
on coordinating this road with the DOT in Helena, and a traffic analysis by the County,
City and State. Steve Herzog said the new Bypass will probably not be built for 7 years —
10 years.
The first phase of this project involves 83 single family lots. At full build out it will
encompass approximately 300 lots.
Jim Stewart wants the roads opened up and connected in order to facilitate Fire
Department access. In addition, there is a land locked property which must be provided
with access.
Glacier Village Greens — Glacier Village Greens wants to build a clubhouse by the pond
off West Nicklaus and needs a conditional use permit. The building is approximately
2000 square feet on 4 — 5 acres. Andrew Sorensen thought the amount of impervious
surface for the parking, approximately 6000 square feet, did not pose a drainage problem.
Evergreen will provide water and sewer will be provide by the Village Sewer, until
otherwise notified. A conditional use permit will be granted with the following
condition: the facility will be for members only and cannot be rented to the public at -
large.
Annexation — A lot on the west side of 7tn Ave West to be annexed. The development
will have access off 7tn Ave W. The lot will be divided into four lots under a subdivision
they will pursue later. PJ was concerned that a 60' right-of-way might be required.
Narda did not see this as a problem.
2
NEW BUSINESS
160 Keliy Road — Some of the development of this site was done when it was a part of
the County, and there are inherent problems with the site such as drainage and Fire
Department access. Jinn Atkinson of the AOA is concerned about parking and his agency
is looking to rent additional land in order to control parking. Jim Stewart said that
additional hydrants are proposed for Kelly Road at this site but an additional building, set
back off of Kelly Road, might present a need for additional hydrants.
It was agreed that the plans submitted for an additional building on the site where
inadequate. The owner must submit new plans to scale showing the site, existing
buildings, proposed buildings, green areas, utilities and hydrants.
OTHER DISCUSSION:
Corner Lots: PJ suggested that developers should be encouraged to increase the size of
their corner lots so that the size of houses built on these lots will be more in keeping with
the size of houses in the rest of the development.
Fair rounds: Andrew Sorensen said that the bids that came in on the new fairground
building were well over the $800,000 they had estimated for the construction costs.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:10 PM.
