Tim Birk / Raven Rock Subdivision Annexation and Initial Zoning
of R-3 and RA-1
August 4, 2003
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Tim Birk for an initial zoning designation of R-3,
Urban Residential on approximately six acres and RA- 1, Low Density Residential
Apartment, on approximately two acres. A preliminary plat for 27 single family lots
and 10 duplex lots has been filed concurrently with the annexation and zoning
request. The property contains approximately 8.01 acres and is located on the north
side of Three Mile Drive and east of Stillwater Road and west of North Meridian Road
approximately one half mile. Currently the property is in the County zoning
jurisdiction and is zoned SAG-10, a Suburban Agricultural zoning district with a ten
acre minimum lot size requirement. It is also part of the West Valley Overlay District
which has a clustering provision that allows a maximum density of one dwelling per
five acres for which this property would not be eligible because of the limited acreage.
A public hearing was held before the Kalispell City Planning Board at a meeting of
July 8, 2003 regarding this matter. At the public hearing the applicant stated that he
thought this project could serve as infill considering the relatively small size of the
parcel, other development in the area and the availability of City utilities. He noted
the RA-1 area to the south was intended as a buffer between the single family
residences and Three Mile Drive. There were no other comments from the public.
After the public hearing the board discussed the request and the density allowed
under the proposed zoning. The board agreed that the proposed zoning was
consistent with the growth policy and other development that has taken place in the
area. A motion was made and passed unanimously to forward a recommendation that
initial zoning for this property should be as recommended by the staff upon
annexation.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the first reading of the ordinance for R-3
and RA-1 zoning upon annexation would be in order.

Re: Raven Rock Subdivision Annexation and Initial Zoning of R-3, Urban
Residential and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on July 8, 2003, and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Tim Birk for an initial zoning designation of R-3, Urban
Residential on approximately six acres and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment,
on approximately two acres. A preliminary plat for 27 single family lots and 10 duplex
lots has been filed concurrently with the annexation and zoning request. The property
contains approximately 8.01 acres and is located on the north side of Three Mile Drive
and east of Stillwater Road and west of North Meridian Road approximately one half
mile.
Narda Wilson of the Tri-City Planning Office presented staff report KA-03-13,
evaluating the proposed zoning. Staff recommended initial zoning of City R-3, Urban
Residential, and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment, based on the surrounding
zoning and the Kalispell Growth Policy.
At the public hearing the applicant stated that he thought this project could serve as
infill considering the relatively small size of the parcel, other development in the area
and the availability of City utilities. He noted the RA-1 area to the south was
intended as a buffer between the single family residences and Three Mile Drive. There
were no other comments from the public.

lot residential subdivision on approximately eight acres. A
request for annexation and initial zoning of R-3 and RA-1
has been filed concurrently.
STAFF REPORT
Narda Wilson, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a
#KA-03-13 AND KPP-03-8
presentation of staff report KA-03-13, a request for initial
zoning upon annexation of approximately 8 acres located at
the northeast corner of Three Mile Drive and one-half mile
west of North Meridian Road. Wilson also gave a
presentation of staff report KPP-03-8, a request for
preliminary plat approval of a 37-lot residential subdivision
that was filed concurrently with the annexation and initial
zoning request.
Wilson stated there has been quite a lot of activity in the
area, and this property is located on the north side of Three
Mile Drive, one half mile east of Stillwater Drive. She said the
property is currently zoned County SAG-10, and the total
area proposed for proposed for development is about eight
acres. Wilson noted that the property is currently in the
County zoning jurisdiction and is in West Wide Zoning
District and is part of the West Valley Overlay District, which
has a density of one dwelling per five acres. The applicant is

proposing annexing for to the city to obtain water and sewer
services and is requesting a zoning designation of R-3, a
single family district on approximately two-thirds of the
property to the north and RA-1, Low Density Apartment, on
the southern one third.
Wilson stated that the existing land uses in the area are
urban single family residential homes to the north,
Northview Heights, which was recently annexed and Phase I
is under construction. She said that the area has been
planned and platted for the same type of urban residential
development. To the east, there are urban sized lots where
utilities available, and to the south there are some fairly
large parcels in the county. She stated the area is in
transition, from agricultural to urban uses.
Wilson commented that the master plan designates this area
as Urban Residential, with three to 12 dwelling units per
acre. This development has a density of five to six dwelling
units per acre on the R-3 area, and 14 dwelling units in the
RA-1 area. She said the overall maximum density would be
eight dwellings per acre, well within the Urban Residential
designation of the growth policy and that the proposed
zoning would be consistent with the type of growth
anticipated for the area.
Wilson noted on the subdivision lies on the east side of
recently extended North Riding Road. There are a total of 37
lots being platted, 27 of which are being zoned R-3, and 10
lots designated as RA-1. She noted the R-3 district has a
minimum lot size requirement of R- 1 and the RA-1 zone has
a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, plus 3,000 square
feet for each additional unit beyond duplex. Any multi-
family development would require a conditional use permit.
The existing single family residence would likely be relocated.
Wilson stated that the applicant indicated the area proposed
for RA-1 would be developed as duplexes, but that was an
error and that they can either developed as single family
residences, duplexes, or, if someone were to buy multiple
lots, they could do a multi -family development with a
conditional use permit. She said the applicant would like to
keep the option open for a small multi -family development
along the southern boundary. She stated that a minor
changes need to be made to a few lots for zoning compliance
that deal with lot with and would require a little rearranging.
Wilson stated that during site review, the public works
department felt that North Riding Road should be designated
as a collector road due to development potential to the north.
The Kalispell Design and Construction Standards require a
300 foot offset for a collector roadway for a new accesses.
Therefore the two accesses need to be consolidated into one
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of July 8, 2003
Page 2 of 12
access and that has been included as one of the conditions.
The subdivision design will need to be modified slightly to
accommodate this change. She noted the property to the
west has been approved for Phase 3 of Northview Heights
and has a subdivision road that is currently undeveloped.
The two roads will align with the new reconfiguration and
create a four way intersection, but probably not a four way
stop. Wilson said the single access triggers a requirement for
secondary access for the fire department which would likely
come off of Three Mile Drive although there are a couple of
options to create a secondary access.
The developer could use "grass crete", which is a compacted,
subsurface material that grass would grow on, but that fire
trucks could drive across year round without sinking. The
secondary access would be gated or have bollards in place
and used for emergency access only. The secondary access
could be used by pedestrians to access Three Mile Drive and
the bike and pedestrian trail. Wilson stated that with these
are noted as conditions of approval and the fire access can
be coordinated with the fire department.
Wilson noted that consistent with other subdivisions in the
area, staff is recommending that bike and pedestrian access
along Three Mile within the 20 foot buffer be installed prior
to final plat approval. She said the property has some
moderate slopes, but no risk to environment and no
development constraints. Water and sewer would be
extended from Riding Road to the west and looped through
the subdivision, and that all lots would be served by City
water and sewer.
Wilson said as for the parkland dedication, the developer
wants to pay cash in lieu of parkland. She stated the area is
6.37 acres in lots which would be 0.7 acres of parkland
dedication, or $12,600 cash in lieu. Wilson noted that there
are two city parks fairly close by, with Sunset Park to the
east, and Empire Estates to the west will have an
approximately two acre park, and the City ball fields are to
the north. She said that the police and fire impacts are
moderate, but that cumulative impacts of growth affect both
departments.
Wilson reiterated that modifications need to be made to the
lots in order to comply with zoning. She stated that the lots
were sort of staggered in order to provide some creativity, but
the lots need to meet the minimum lot width requirements of
60 feet. She said that there are no variances and that it does
comply with zoning and subdivision standards She said that
staff is making two recommendations on the proposal: initial
zoning of R-3 and RA- 1, and approve the preliminary plat
subject to the listed conditions..

PUBLIC HEARING -
The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak
on the issue.
APPLICANT/AGENCiE--S
Tim Birk, 880 Farm Road, applicant and owner of the
property, said he did a new loop design. He stated that it is
an infill project on a gently sloping site, located within 500
feet of the proposed Kalispell Bypass The RA-1 section Will
front Three Mile Drive as a buffer area to the single family
residences. Birk handed out a potential redesign on the plat
that showed a single access from North Riding Road.
PUBLIC COMMENT
There were no comments from the public either in favor or in
opposition to the proposal.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was
closed.
MOTION (INITIAL ZONING)
Atkinson moved and Anderson seconded to adopt staff report
KA-03-13 as findings of fact and, based on these findings,
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the initial
zoning for this property should be R-3, Urban Residential,
and RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment, upon
annexation to the City of Kalispell as indicated on the
attached exhibit.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Atkinson asked about parks. He stated that there is a lot of
cash in lieu of parks and that he understands both sides of
the issue, that cash in lieu takes care of the existing parks.
He stated that he understands that smaller parks are not
that desirable, because the Parks Department has to take
care of them. He asked if there was a formula for parks.
Wilson answered that there is specific criteria for City parks.
They have to be a minimum of one acre in size and then
other parks in the area have bearing on whether or not a new
park is appropriate. She stated that there is specific
language in state statutes that speaks to the stated
preference of the developer and that consideration has to be
given to their preference. In this case the subdivision would
need to be bigger in order to make a park work.
Hull wanted to clarify the area next to Three Mile Drive will
be RA-1 and Wilson answered it would be about a 200 foot
lot depth, and that the lot boundaries will follow that.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
MOTION
Anderson moved and Johnson seconded to adopt staff -report
KPP-03-8 as findings of fact and recommend approval of
Raven Rock Subdivision preliminary plat subject to the
conditions outlined in the staff report.

BOARD DISCUSSION
Norton questioned whether or not the board should be voting
on the preliminary plat until there is a more finalized version
of the plat with the required revisions.
Wilson said that there are typically minor revisions to a plat,
but that the board will not likely see a whole lot of difference
overall. She indicated the roadways would be consolidated,
but that the basic configuration would remain the same. She
stated that the developer will have to redesign subdivision
within the constraints that are outlined. She stated that the
plats go through a design review phase before the final plat is
submitted that this often times will result in minor
modifications to the original design.
Atkinson stated that he likes a gridded road system, and that
this development does not have one. He said that it might
have been a good idea to have a lot be set aside for an
easement for a road headed east, because we don't know
what is going to happen to that next property. He stated that
subdivisions are choosing not to be involved with one
another and that every time we can, we should look at a
gridded system so they can connect with one another.
Taylor noted that because the preliminary plat approval is
valid for three years, isn't it possible that the property to the
east could come before the board, and couldn't one of the
phases of this project be altered somehow to adopt a grid
system?
Wilson answered that the developers could do it independent
of the conditions of approval, but the statutes specifically say
that subsequent conditions cannot be placed on a plat after
approval by the governing body.
There was discussion regarding the grid system and
interconnected subdivisions.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

the fringes of urban development. Having suburban residential development to
the west, east and north with suburban residential development to the south.
North:
Urban residential and single family homes, City R-3 zoning
South:
Rural residential mostly single family homes and limited
agricultural uses, County R-1 zoning
East:
Rural and urban residential homes, County SAG-10 and City R-3
West:
Rural and urban residential, City R-3 and County SAG-1 zoning
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of the area is a
generally rural and suburban residential with some urban residential development
on smaller lots where City sewer has been extended.
I. Availability of Public Services: City water and sewer services exist to the north of
this site approximately 200 feet and where extended in conjunction with the
development of Northview Subdivision. These utilities would be extended into this
subdivision. A new extension of North Riding Road from the north in Meadowland
Subdivision to the south to connect with Three Mile Drive was also done in
conjunction with the Northview Subdivision. Access onto North Riding Road is
proposed to serve this property. This property also has frontage along Three Mile
Drive which should be limited if other access alternatives are available. Once
annexed to the city, City services including fire, ambulance and police will be
provided to the subdivision once the property has been developed and services are
needed.
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-205, M.C.A.
Findings of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized
criteria described by 76-2-203, M.C.A.
MENUITO =V10M M-Umm
On February 18, 2003 the Kalispell City Council adopted the Kalispell Growth
Policy which designates this area as Urban Residential which anticipates a
density of three to 12 dwelling unit per acre. Approximately six acres of this
2
property is proposed for R-3, an Urban Residential zoning designation that
anticipates single-family homes as the primarily use on lots not less than 7,000
square feet in size or approximately six dwellings per acre. The remaining
approximately two acres is proposed for a zoning designation of RA-1, Low -
Density Residential Apartment, which has a minimum lot size requirement of
6,000 square feet plus an additional 3,000 square feet for each dwelling beyond a
duplex or approximately 14 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning
designations are in substantial compliance with the future land use designations
of the Kalispell Growth Policy with an overall maximum density of eight dwelling
units per acre.

It can be anticipated that the proposed change in zoning from agricultural to
residential will increase traffic impacts in the immediate area due to the
subsequent development of the site. However, by concentrating development in
a compact mariner close to the central core of the community, traffic impacts in
the outlying areas of the county can be reduced. Traffic impacts to the area can
be accommodated with the existing roadways in the area.
WO - 1113-M. MOSMWORNOWWOM
There is no obvious increase in risk related to the proposed zoning district which
would impede fire or police access to the site. Access for fire and other
emergency services is generally good.
Because this annexation will enable the property owners to connect to public
sewer and develop the property with full public services, the public health and
welfare of the community will be served.
� M WMACIRMN IMM. 67W.More
Any uses established on the site will be required to meet the development
standards for the district dealing with setbacks, height limits and lot coverage.
These standards are designed to provide for adequate light and air.
The requested zoning designations are consistent with the type of development
which would be anticipated under the Kalispell Growth Policy and would be able
to be accommodated within the land area under the proposed zoning. The
requested zoning will not contribute to the overcrowding of land.
Increased concentration of people in this area will likely result after this land has
been converted from an agricultural use to a more intensive residential use.
There will be a more intensive use of the property, however, the intensity of the
9
uses of the property would be in direct relationship to the availability of public
services, utilities and facilities as well as compliance with established design
standards. The design standards and availability of facilities would provide the
structure needed to insure that there will not be an overcrowding of the land or
undue concentration of people.

Public service, facilities and infrastructure would be made available to the
developer. The developer would need to extend the needed City services that are
not currently extended to the property at the developers' expense and in
accordance with the City's policies and standards. New improvements to the
property such as roads, water, sewer, parks and drainage would be installed in
accordance with City policies and standards at the developers' expense thereby
insuring that there is adequate provision of services to the site prior to
development. Fire, police, ambulance and public access are adequate to
accommodate potential impacts associated with the development of this site.
There will be impacts to services which can be anticipated as a result of this
proposal which can be met by the City.
The proposed zoning furthers the long range development plans as reflected in
the recently adopted Kalispell Growth Policy for this area and provide
opportunities for affordable housing in a development that is compatible with
surrounding land uses with the extension and provision of public services within
reasonable proximity to the City core. The proposed zoning will provide the basis
for the future land uses on this property, in accordance Kalispell Growth Policy.
This rezoning gives great consideration to the suitability of this property for the
proposed use and concurrent zoning proposal.
The general character of the area is transitional between the urban and rural /
agricultural use on the fringes of the City limits. The proposed zoning allows this
development to address needs within the community for housing and support
services on public services and in reasonable proximity to the City core. The
recent annexation and adoption of zoning on other properties in the immediate
area adjoin this property to the north and to the west. It appears that the
proposed rezoning gives reasonable consideration to the character of the district.
#W.53 UZZIN) * 04-MM I •- OTWO) frOT-M,
There is a single-family residential subdivision that adjoins this property to the
north and to the east that is in the process of being developed with single-family
homes on approximately 7,000 square foot lots and has been annexed to the city.
Public utilities have been extended in conjunction with this development. Most
0
potentially effected properties that are rural in nature are the properties to the
east and the south which are residential, but are not serviced by public water
and / or sewer. The development anticipated under the proposed zoning may be
more intensive in nature because of the availability of public services and
utilities, however, the City standards will insure that there is high quality
development that will insure the value of buildings and homes is protected,
maintained and conserved.
The Kalispell Growth Policy future land use designations anticipates a
development such as that being proposed and will be developed with uses
anticipated for the area. The proposed zoning encourages the most appropriate
land use for this property and throughout the planning jurisdiction.
It is recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt
Staff Report KA-03-13 as findings of fact and forward a recommendation to the Kalispell
City Council that the initial zoning for this property should be R-3, Residential, and RA-
C, Low Density Residential as indicated on attached Exhibit A upon annexation to the
City.
