RIVER GLEN SUBDIVISION A request by River Glen Subdivision, LLC for an initial zoning INITIAL ZONING UPON designation of R-3, Urban Single Family Residential, on ANNEXATION approximately 3.4 acres located on the east side of South Woodland Drive immediately south of Quincy Loop upon annexation to the City of Kalispell. RIVER GLEN SUBDIVISION A request by River Glen Subdivision, LLC for initial zoning PRELIMINARY PLAT and preliminary plat approval of River Glen. Subdivision, a APPROVAL REQUEST 13 lot single family residential subdivision, upon annexation to the City of Kalispell. STAFF REPORTS Torn Jentz, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a RA-03-15 AND KPP-03-9 combined presentation of staff report KA-03-15, a request for initial zoning upon annexation of approximately 3.4 acres located on the east side of South Woodland Drive immediately south of Quincy Loop and KPP-03-9, a request for preliminary plat approval of River Glen Subdivision a 13 lot single family residential development. Johnson excused himself from agenda items 1 and 2 (River Glen Subdivision). Jentz showed a site plan of the project and spoke about the surrounding neighborhood. He stated that the site is 3A acres in size with the city limits at the northerly boundary. He said that Woodland Court, a single family project developed by th3e city 8 years ago is directly north of the property and that land to the east is vacant. 1t is the rural Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of September 9. 2003 Page I of 10 fringe of the city, but that the area generally is residential with urbanization taking place. Jentz stated that the applicants have requested R-3 zoning which has a 7000 foot minimum lot size and is compatible with the surrounding zoning. He said that the project has met all of the statutory criteria and is compliant with the Kalispell growth policy. He said that South Woodland is designated as a collector and will continue to carry more traffic. Jentz said that the developer wants to develop 13 single family lots in the subdivision, with a single access off of South Woodland Drive coming down into a cul-de-sac. Sewer and water would be extended into the subdivision.. He stated that the developer asked for three variances to the Subdivision Regulations and that the staff incorporated those requests into the conditions. He stated that the issues are pedestrian access (sidewalks), the length of the cul-de- sac, and boulevards in the cul-de-sac. Jentz stated that the staff report states that setting aside the grass boulevards in the cul-de-sac is acceptable, but that staff is offering a different design to eliminate the need for a longer cul-de-sac. Staff suggests that the road be moved to the south side of the property, which would shorten the cul- de-sac and eliminate the double frontage situation on Quincy Loop. The road would also benefit the property to the south that is not presently part of this subdivision as it would allow re -subdivision at a latter time. If the road were moved to the south, sidewalks would only be necessary in front of the developed lots along the south side of the road. Jentz said that there are 19 conditions included in the staff report, some of which address the variances requested by the developer. One of the conditions asks that South Woodland Drive be widened from 24 feet to 28 feet, to match what was done in Woodland Court. Jentz stated that sewer and water must be extended to the furthest end of the property, so that the next developer can continue on. With this situation, there is a property owner to the east who would like the sewer and water extended so that they have access to it. Jentz said that staff has suggested an additional condition 20 which states, "Sewer and water mains shall be extended to the east end of the proposed River Glen Subdivision so as to provide service to the westerly boundary of Lots 7 and 8 of Green Acres subdivision. This sewer and water extension shall be located in a minimum 20 foot wide utility easement as it leaves the internal road R/W. In addition, a minimum 10 foot utility_ easement shall be provided along the entire Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of September 9, 2003 Page 2 of 10 i- easterly side of the proposed River Glen Subdivision to allow these utilities to be extended in either direction in the future.' PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak on the issue. APPLICANT/AGENCIES Ed Engle, Paul J. Stokes and Associates, representing River Glen LLC stated that they agree with staff, and they would have no problem with changing the road location, or widening South Woodland. He said that extending utilities to the east is a reasonable request. PUBLIC COMMENT Rena Hagen, lives to the east of the subdivision (lot 7), read a statement to the board asking that utilities be extended easterly to serve her lot #7. (Statement is attached) No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. MOTION Atkinson moved and Anderson seconded to adopt staff report KA-03-15 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 Single Family Residential, on approximately 3.4 acres upon annexation to the City of Kalispell. BOARD DISCUSSION Taylor asked about the redesign of the cul-de-sac and what would happen to Lot 13, which is now in the corner. Jentz answered that Lot 13 would become a corner lot, but that an additional bulb on the cul-de-sac may be necessary to pick up River Glen Lot 7 in the northeast corner. Taylor also asked about a letter received from an adjacent property owner regarding storm water drainage. Jentz stated that the subdivision will be required to retain all storm water drainage on site. ROLL CALL The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote, with Johnson being recused. MOTION Anderson moved and Norton seconded to adopt staff report KPP-03--9 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed preliminary plat approval for River Glen Subdivision be I approved subject to the 20 conditions. 1 BOARD DISCUSSION Atkinson asked about a grid type road system and whether a larger easement for a full road R/W instead of just a sewer and water easement to the east would be appropriate in order to extend a road for when Lot 7 gets developed. This Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of September 9, 2003 Page 3 of 10 way south Woodland could be connected with Willow Glen. Jentz answered that any such access would have to be 60, feet wide and there were no plans to develop Lot 7 yet. The Hagen's live on lot 7 to the east. i Hinchey asked if Lot 7 of River Glen could be turned 90 degrees and front on the new road extending east to Hagen's Lot 7 instead of being lost. Jentz answered yes. Hinchey and Taylor also stated that they support the gridded system for the roadway. Norton asked Rena Hagen if the road would be beneficial for her in the future. I Hagen answered yes, that she had spoken with Narda Wilson some time ago, but that all of the property owners did not want to participate at that time. She stated that it would be nice to have the access for future development. Hinchey asked if it was necessary that this developer take the sewer and water to the abutting property, and don't they already come down Willow Glen? Jentz answered that neither sewer nor water abut the property on Willow Glen. Additionally, he said looping of water is good where ever it can occur. MOTION (CONDITION 21) Atkinson moved and Hinchey seconded that the right of way for the River Glen Subdivision access road be extended to the furthest eastern boundary of the property, but that the improved portion of the additional proposed city street need not have to run to the eastern boundary only provide access to the abutting lots. ROLL CALL The amended motion passed 5-1 with Anderson voting against and Johnson being recused. ROLL CALL The original motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote and Johnson being recused.

A public hearing has been scheduled before the planning board for September 9, 2003 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This report evaluates the appropriate assignment of a City zoning classification in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The petitioner would like to annex in order to receive City services. A. Petitioner and Owners: River Glen. Subdivision, LLC 1701 South Woodland Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 275--3212 Technical Assistance: Paul J. Stokes & Associates, Inc. 343 First Ave. West Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 755-8707 H. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property proposed for annexation lies on the east side of South Woodland Drive immediately south of Quincy Loop. The property contains approximately 3.4 acres and can be described as Lot 26 and the easterly 300 feet of Lot 25 in Blockl of Green Acres Subdivision located in Section 17, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M-M., Flathead County, Montana. L fisting zoning: This property is in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-2, Suburban Residential. This zoning designation has a minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. This proposal will be reviewed and evaluated under the Kalispell Growth Policy which includes this area in its potential utility service area and anticipates it being annexed and zoned in accordance with the growth policy land use designations and goals and policies. J. Proposed Zoning: The proposal would designate the property as City R-3, a Residential zoning district that anticipates single-family homes as a primary use. The minimum lot size requirement for the R-3 zoning district is 7,000 square feet. X. Size: The property proposed for annexation and zoning contains approximately 3.4 acres. 1 L. Existing Land Use: Currently this property contains a single family residence which is in the process of being removed. The remainder of the site is a vacant home site. M. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The area can be described as a residential neighborhood located on the fringes of urban. development. To the north lies fully serviced urban scale development on city services. To the south, east and west lies rural large lot development and a mobile home park on a mixture of public and on -site services. North: Urban residential with single-family homes, City R-2 zoning East_ Rural large lot residential, County R-2 zoning South: 3 rental mobile homes and a residence on a single tract (County R-2 zoning) mobile home park (County R-5 zoning). West: Vacant rural lands and large lot rural residential (County R-2 zoning) H. General Land Use Character: The site is a level, vacant tract of land on the fringes of the city surrounded by urban scale residential development to the north and rural residential development on the south, east and west. I. Availability of Public Services: City water and sewer services exist in the South Woodland Drive R/W adjacent to the site. South Woodland Drive is designated a collector street built to a rural standard. Pedestrian facilities are lacking ixa the area. 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_ 1. Does the requested zone corntaly with the Growth Policy? The Kalispell Growth Policy designates this area. as Urban Residential which anticipates a density of 3 to 12 dwelling unit per acre. This property is proposed for R-3 zoning, a 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 4.6 dwelling units net density per acre. The proposed zoning designation is in substantial compliance with the future land use designations of the Kalispell Growth Policy and can be considered to be appropriate for the area. 2. Is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in the streets? It can be anticipated that the proposed development of the property that will be associated with the zoning will increase traffic impacts in the area due to the undeveloped nature of the area currently. Traffic impacts to the area can be accommodated with the existing roadway systems at hand. The proposed re- zoning carries with it the checks and balances, including the need for subdivision review, which will insure that traffic flows and access are 2 appropriately addressed. The potential densities afforded by this zone will not overtax the existing road system.. 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire panic, and other dangers 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. Annexation into the city will afford the site protection from the city of Kalispell police and fire departments. 4. Willthe requested zone promote the health and general welfare? 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. S. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air? 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. 6. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land? The requested zoning designation is 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 zone will not contribute to the overcrowding of land. 7. Will the re uested zone avoid undue concentration of people? An increase in the number and concentration of people in the area will likely result after this land has been converted from a very low density rural home site to a more intensive residential use. However, the intensity of the 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. S. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water. sewerage, schools. arks and other ublic requirements? 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 3 accommodate potential impacts associated with the development of this site. There will be impacts to services that can be anticipated as a result of this proposal which can be met by the City. 9. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the ro erty for particular uses? The proposed zoning furthers the long range development plans as reflected in the recently adopted Kalispell Growth Policy for this area and provides opportunities for 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 with the Kalispell Growth Policy. This rezoning gives great consideration to the suitability of this property for the proposed use and concurrent zoning proposal. 10. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the district? The general character of the area is transitional between the urban and rural 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. Recent annexations in the area indicate that this type of development will continue to occur on the urban fringes of the community to be developed with similar types of uses as is proposed with this property, i.e. urban residential rather than rural. It appears that the proposed rezoning gives reasonable consideration to the character of the district. 11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? There is a single-family residential subdivision to the north developed approximately 7 years ago with similar although slightly larger lot sizes. The development anticipated under the proposed zoning may be slightly more intense in nature that that of other properties in the immediate area because of the available 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. 12. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdiction? 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.
