2. Resolution 4771 - Final Plat - Subdivision 215Tri-City Planning Office 17 Second Street East — Suite 211 Kalispell, Montana 59901 Phone: (406) 751-1850 Fax: (406) 751-1858 REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Final Plat Approval for Subdivision 215 MEETING DATE; February 3, 2003 BACKGROUND: This is a one lot residential subdivision which segregates as single parcel from a larger approximately 11 acre parcel. The remainder parcel to the west was reviewed and approved as a preliminary plat for Sunnyside Subdivision. There is an existing house that lies to the west of this parcel that will be part of the Sunnyside Subdivision. This approximately 0.545 acre parcel is undeveloped and has been used for occasional grazing in the past. The property lies on the southwest comer of Denver Avenue and Sunnyside Drive. This property was annexed into the city in January of 2002 for the purpose of connecting to City utilities at the time of development. The property is zoned R-4, Two Family Residential. With the recording of this subdivision, a portion of Denver Avenue will be dedicated to the City of Kalispell as indicated on the plat. Additionally the property owner has agreed to waive protest to the creation of a special improvement district for the upgrade of Denver Avenue to City standards when the time comes. Currently this roadway is approximately 42 feet wide with a pedestrian walkway delineated on the west side of the road. It is a private road from Lone Pine View Estates Subdivision to Sunmyside Drive even though it is maintained by the City of Kalispell. This roadway was constructed to Countystandards with the development of Lone Pine View Estates. The dedication of this portion of Denver will bring the road one step closer to being owned by the City. Our office waived the preliminary plat subject to five conditions on May 28, 2002 because it can been found that the subdivision meets the criteria for preliminary plat approval waiver as outlined in Section 2.06 of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. Findings of fact for approval of the plat are found in attached staff report KWP-03-1 which review the conditions of approval and a how they have been met. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the final plat would be appropriate. FISCAL EFFECTS: Potentially minor positive effects. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
