REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Thomas R. Jentz, Director
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT Foppiano Construction - Annexation and Initial Zoning of R-3
MEETING DATE: November 3, 2003
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Foppiano Construction, Inc. for an initial zoning
designation of R-3, Single Family Residential on 1.0 acre of land located on the east side of
Denver Avenue immediately east of the intersection with Phoenix Street. The property
presently contains a single-family residence. This R-3 zoning designation anticipates
single-family housing as a permitted use with minimum lot sizes of 7,000 square feet. The
property is currently zoned county R- I single-family residential with a one -acre minimum
lot size.
Note that a 4-lot minor subdivision on this property was submitted to the planning office
for review and action just prior to consideration or the zoning proposal by the planning
board. A minor subdivision is not submitted to the planning board for consideration,
instead it goes directly to the City Council for consideration. The proposed 4-lot
subdivision does comply with the requested R-3 zoning.
On October 14, 2003 the Kalispell City Planning board held a hearing for the purpose of
determining the most appropriate zoning for this property. At the hearing, the applicant's
representative spoke in favor of the purposed R-3 zoning, no one spoke in oppositions and
the hearing was closed. After the public hearing the Board discussed the request and its
relationship to the surrounding neighborhood noting that this is a continuation of the
pattern of development on three sides. A motion to adopt staff report #KA-03-19 as
findings of fact and forward a recommendation that initial zoning for this property should
be R-3 as recommended by the staff upon annexation passed on a unanimous vote of 6-0.
A completed cost of services analysis is attached for your review.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the first reading of the ordinance for R-3 zoning
upon annexation would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once fully developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council.

Re: Foppiano Construction - Annexation and Initial Zoning of R-3 Single Family
Residential
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on October 14, 2003, and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Foppiano Construction, Inc. for an initial zoning designation of R-3,
Single Family Residential on 1.0 acre of land located on the east side of Denver Avenue
immediately east of the intersection with Phoenix Street. The property presently contains a
single-family residence. This R-3 zoning designation anticipates single-family housing as a
permitted use with minimum lot sizes of 7,000 square feet. The property is currently
zoned county R-1 single-family residential with a one -acre minimum lot size. No
development proposal was submitted at the time of the Planning Board hearing.
Toni. Jentz of the Tri-City Planning Office presented staff report 4#KA-03-19, evaluating the
proposed zoning. Staff recommended initial zoning of City R-3, Single -Family Residential
based on the surrounding zoning and the Kalispell Growth Policy. At the public hearing
the applicant's representative spoke in favor. There was no other public comment.
After the public hearing the Board discussed the request and the density allowed under the
proposed zoning. A motion to consider R-3 zoning passed on a unanimous vote of 6--0 to
adopt staff report KA-03-18 as findings of fact and forward a recommendation that initial
zoning for this property should be R-3 as recommended by the staff upon annexation.
Please schedule this matter for the November 3, 2003 regular City Council meeting. You
may contact this Board or Tom Jentz at the Tri-City Planning Office if you have any
questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Kalispell City Planning Board

PUBLIC HEARING
The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak
on the issue.
APPLICANTS/AGENCIES
Dawn Marquardt, Marquardt Surveying, representing
American Capital Group, stated that an engineer is studying
the flood plain issue, and they are waiting for a Letter of Map
Revision from FEMA.
Peter Pappas, Architect, Deaver CO, stated he was available
to answer questions.
PUBLIC COMMENT
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was
closed.
MOTION
Atkinson moved and Johnson seconded to adopt staff report
KPP-03-10 as findings of fact and, based on these findings,
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary
plat for this subdivisionn be approved subject to the 10
conditions.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Hull asked Marquardt if there were any proposals to bury the
creek. Marquardt answered not at this time.
Jentz said burying the creek would create a liability.
Atkinson asked Pappas if the storm water system was
doable.
Pappas answered that according to studies they have done, it
is. He said they will lift the building pads to get the buildings
out of the flood plain, and will reconfigure the detention
pond.
Hull commented that Dairygold was fined $5.2 million for
polluting this stream, that this stream has been the subject
of a lawsuit, and that the applicants cannot fill it.
Jentz said the flood plain development permit program is
sophisticated and there is a limit to what the applicants can
do. He said that a designated flood way is a "no touch" area.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed on a 5-1 roll call vote with Hull voting
against.

needs a bridge. He said the right of way is there for future
use.

Page 1 of 4
G. Adjacent Land Uses and. Zoning: The immediate area is characterized by single-family
homes on urban sized lots. To the west lies Lone Pine estates. A new subdivision,
Ashley Meadows, received preliminary plat approval this spring on property, to the south
and east.
North: Large lot subdivision with single -fancily homes, County R-1 zoning
East: Single-family homes; City R-4 and County R- l zoning
South: Ashley Meadows, City R-4 zoning.
West: Single-family homes, Lone Pine Estates, City R-3 zoning
H. General Land Use Character. The area can be described as a pocket of rural land
within an area of transition between the urban areas of Kahsuell to the east and the
more rural undeveloped area of the county to the west. The immediate area is
characterized by new single-family homes on urban sized lots to the west, south and east
with larger single-family homes on larger lots to the north. An urban density residential
subdivision, Lone Pine Vieux Estates, lies immediately to the west of this property across
Denver and both Ashley Meadows and the Stratford Subdivision which are urban density
subdivisions are currently under development on approximately 30 acres to the south of
this property.
I. Availability of Public Services and. Extension of Services: Public services, including
City water and sewer, are available to this site and will be extended into the property in
accordance with the City of Kalispell's Extension of Services Plan and an accordance with
Kalispell's Design. and Construction Standards.
EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA
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.
Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy?
The property is designated by the Kalispell Growth Policy future land use map as
"Urban Residential" which anticipates residential development with a density of
between 3 to 12 dwelling units per acre. Because of the provision of public water and
sewer to the site, the proposed R-3 zoning designation is in compliance with the future
land use designation for the area. The R-3 zoning has a minimum lot size requirement
of 7,000 square .feet per unit. This same development .pattern is reflected in the R-3
zoned subdivision to the west, Lone Pine Estates. The property currently contains a
single-family residence. The owner has indicated a desire in the near future to create
several additional single-family lots. The proposed zoning is in compliance with the
anticipated land use for the area.
2. Is the re nested zone deli ed to lessen con§zestion in the streets?
The immediate neighborhood is single-family in nature. The proposed zoning reflects
this and will insure that this pattern will continue. if the property is developed
additionally in the future, the intensity of development from this site will be minor in
nature and will insure that the adjacent traffic routes are not unduly burdened.
#KA-03-19
Rage 2 of 4
3. WiL the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and ,other angers?
Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in the case of an
emergency. There are no features related to the property which would compromise the
safety of the public. New construction =ill be required to be in compliance with the
building safety codes of the City which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal
services including police and fire protection, water and sewer service is available to the
area and will be extended as part of the development of this property at some point in
the future.
4. Will the requested zone promote the health and general welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general welfare by
restricting land uses to those such as single --family residences, that would be
compatible with the adjoining properties and providing a place for new housing in the
community.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring on this site are
established in the Kalispell. Zoning Ordinance to insure adequate light and air is
provided.
6. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land?
As previously noted this area has been anticipated for urban residential development
and now that public water and sewer are in Denver and immediately available to this
site, an R-3 zoning designation is appropriate. The property presently has a single-
family residence. Future re -development of the site could accommodate upwards of 3
more lots. All public services and facilities will be available to serve the existing
residence. Any overcrowding of land would occur if infrastructure were inadequate to
accommodate the development in the area. This is unlikely to occur.
7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentrations of people?
Minimum lot standards and use standards as well as subdivision development
standards will avoid the undue concentration of people at the time the property is
developed.
8. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools arks and other ublic requirements?
All public services and facilities are currently available or can be provided to the
property. Development should be encouraged in areas where these services are
available. Parkland is limited in this Location.. The annexation of this lot will not
increase the impact to parks as the current house already exists on this property.
9. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the prope
for -particular uses?
The proposed R-3 zoning district is consistent with the surrounding zoning and land
uses in the area and gives due consideration of the suitability of this property for the
permitted uses in the district.
4KA-03-19
Page 3 of 4
10. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the district?
The general character of the area to the east, ,vest and south is urban sized lots for
residential development. The same type of development can be anticipated to occur on
this property and will be consistent with the character of the district.
11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the R-3 zoning will
promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other properties in
the area.
12, Will the requested zone encourage the most..iappropriate use of the land throughout the
municipality?
Urban scale residential development should be encouraged in areas were services and
facilities are available such as is being proposed on this parcel. The proposed zoning
is consistent with the future land use designations for the area and surrounding
zoning in the area.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt Staff
Report #KA-03-19 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the
initial zoning for this property upon annexation be R-3, Single -Family Residential.
