NORTHWEST A request by Northwest Healthcare Corp. for preliminary plat HEALTHCARE CORP. approval of a 5-lot commercial subdivision for the Buffalo PRELIMINARY PLAT Commons Development in the City of Kalispell. APPROVAL STAFF REPORT KPP-03-11 Tom Jentz, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a presentation of Staff Report KPP-03-11, a request by Northwest Healthcare Corp. for preliminary plat approval of a 5-lot commercial subdivision in Buffalo Commons in the City of Kalispell. Jentz showed a site plan for a five lot subdivision. He explained that it is not considered a minor subdivision because previous developments have totaled more than five. Jentz stated the developers are proposing to take three large existing lots and proposing to create five smaller more marketable lots, two in the commercial retail POD and 3 in the Professional Office POD. He said that it is a fully serviced subdivision. Jentz stated they are recommending approval with six conditions, but staff would recommend condition 2 to be deleted by the board. He said the condition required a storm water drainage plan be prepared but noted that such a plan had already been prepared when the subdivision received original approval a few years ago. The proposed subdivision will not affect streets, curbing or other features and is therefore unnecessary as all infrastructure was already in place. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak on the issue. APPLICANTS%AGENCIES ] The applicant was not available. PUBLIC COMMENT No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of October 14, 2003 Page 7 of 12 MOTION Atkinson moved and Anderson seconded to adopt staff report KPP-03-11 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat for this subdivision be approved subject to staff condition 1-6 and deleting condition #2. i BOARD DISCUSSION There was no discussion.. ROLL CALL The motion passed on a unanimous roll call. vote. ACG - KALISPELL A request by ACG - Kalispell Investors LLC for preliminary INVESTORS LLC plat approval of Gateway West Subdivision Unit #2, a two lot PRELIMINARY PLAT commercial development on 1.89 acres and a retention. pond APPROVAL on .62 acres on a site located on the north side of US Highway 2 West and west of Glenwood Drive at the south entrance to Gateway West Mall in the City of Kalispell. STAFF REPORT KPP-03-10 Toni Jentz, with the Tri--City Planning Office, gave a presentation of Staff Report KPP-03-10. Jentz showed a site plan and described the location. He stated this is not a minor subdivision because of the number of lots previously created on the parent lot. He said the sites will flank either side of the south entrance road to Gateway West Mall and that the site is currently being used for about 54 parking spaces and a storm water retention facility. He said the applicants are proposing re -doing their drainage retention facility which is currently located in proposed Lot 1 and that the loss of parking should not be an issue as the Gateway Mall has excess parking on site. Jentz stated that the proposed lots lie within the 100 year flood plain, with 1/2 of Lot 2 and 90% of Lot 1 being in the flood plain. He said that West Spring Creek provides local drainage for several miles of agricultural land and becomes urbanized at Highway 2 and that the culverts are probably undersized under Highway 2, which creates a backwater. He said the applicants propose to redesign the storm water drainage for the shopping center and that the future engineered drainage system would not need the existing retention pond, but instead a much smaller pond area that would serve as a safety valve. The applicants must show it would work to free up the development ability of lot 1. Jentz stated that the Subdivision Regulations say that subdivision activity shall not occur in the flood plain. The applicants need to go through the flood plain process, and get a Letter of Map Revision from FEMA. Three of the conditions deal with the flood plain. Staff feels that the site is suitable for commercial development, but the site has some issues.

Nature of the Request: The applicants are requesting preliminary plat approval of a 5 lot commercial subdivision on approximately 3.72 acres which is part of an overall mixed use planned unit development known as Buffalo Commons. The applicants are requesting permission to re -subdivide 3 existing "larger" lots into 5 "smaller" lots for a net gain of 2 new lots. The 3 existing lots were created several years ago and all average over 1 acre in size. The owners have indicated that they have had requests for smaller lots. Thus in an effort to match market demands, they are requesting permission to subdivide an existing 57,500 square foot lot into two lots of 20,000 square feet and 37,500 square feet respectively and likewise take two lots which average 50,000 square feet in size and create Lots 3, 4 and 5 out of them. All current lots front on Commons Loop. Once re - subdivided, 4 of the 5 lots will abut Commons Loop and new Lot 3 would access onto Commons Way, Buffalo Commons was approved as a Planned Unit #KPP-03-11 Page 1 of 5 Development and as such is subject to a development agreement with the City of Kalispell executed in July of 1995. The overall development plan was subject to access and street locations, landscaping and the types of uses which would be allowed to occur with the development. All of the infrastructure for these lots including water and sewer services, roadways and utilities were installed during previous development phases of the project. E. Existing Land Use: All of the proposed 5 lots are fully developed (streets, curb, gutter, sidewalks, hydrants, etc.) but vacant. F. Adjacent Land Uses: The proposed lots he in an area of mixed uses. The proposed lots 1 and 2 are in the retail portion of the PUD and are bounded on the north by townhouses across Commons Way, by the Professional View Office Condominium project to the east, vacant land and the Glacier Bank building to the south and along US 93 to the west lies a small retail. mall. Likewise Lots 3 -- 5 are in the professional /medical component of the Buffalo Commons PUD and abut the Professional View Office Condominium project to the north, the Mental Health campus complex to the east, Heritage Place to the south and Glacier Bank to the east.

Effects on Health and Safety: Fire: Fire access to the area will be via US 93 and Commons Way. All streets are built to city standards. Fire hydrants have been installed when previously approved. The current configuration has been preliminarily reviewed by the Kalispell Fire Department and Public Works Department and appears to be adequate. Risk of fre to the area appears to be minimal. Flooding and topography: This area is at a minimal risk of flooding because there is no surface water in close proximity to the site which might inundate the area. The topography of the site is characterized by gently rolling hills with slopes in the area of about five to eight percent. No apparent risks to health and safety are present which might be associated with the topography of the site. Roads: Commons Way and Commons Loop are existing city streets developed with the initial development of the Buffalo Commons and serve as the primary roadways within the development. These roads are adequate to accommodate the additional traffic generated by two new lots B.

This property is within an area of Kalispell that can be considered to be in the urban core area of the community. No significant impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitat can be anticipated as a result of this subdivision. C. Effects on the Natural Environment: There is no surface water in the area which might be affected by this development. There is no obvious high groundwater in the area which may be affected or which might be impacted by this development The terrain can be described as gently rolling hills. Storm water management has already been designed for the parent subdivision. The proposed lots will be required to address storm water within these previously approved parameters. D. Effects on Local Services: Sewer and Water: City of Kalispell water and sewer were previously extended to serve the lots within Phases III and Phase IV. There is sufficient capacity within the Kalispell sewer treatment plant and within the water system to accommodate the development of two additional lots. The impacts to these services were assessed and anticipated with the review and approval of the planned unit development in 1995. Roads: The roadways within the Buffalo Commons development were reviewed and approved through the PUD process. Both Commons Loop and Commons Way which serve the proposed new lots were approved with the final plat of Phases III and IV. These roads continue to be adequate. #KPP-03-11 Page 3 of 5 Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School District #5. However, the project is commercial in nature and will not generate any school children. Taxes generated from the project will benefit the school district.
