REPORT TO. Kalispell Mayor and city Council
FROM: Tom Jentz, Planning Director
James H . Patrick, city Manager
SUBJECT: Review of Three Mile Views Preliminary Plat conditions # 5 and # 6
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2007 Council Work Session
Issue: Preliminary Plat condition #5 requires that a 20 foot landscape and utility easement
(which includes a 10 foot bike path) that lies along the south and west sides of the subdivision
abutting Three Mile Drive be located within a common area of the subdivision. Condition #6
requires the formation of a homeowner's association to take care of these common facilities.
The owners are requesting that this landscaping and utility easement (and associated bike
path) be located within the e3isting rear yards of each lot abutting Three Mile Drive. This would
allow the lots to be larger and create a greater building area for their home designs. They also
ask to be relieved of the requirement to create a homeowners association as there would be no
common features to care for. The owners further state their case in a letter from Doug Scotti,
Morrison & Frampton PLLP dated September b, 2007 in which the owners ask for a meeting
with the Council to discuss this issue. (letter attached)
Bae ound: The Kalispell City council approved the preliminary plat of Three Mile Views on
April 16, 2007. Resolution 5195 (attached) contains the 14 conditions of approval. The
proposed subdivision consists of one long row of lots which front along Vista Loop and have
rear yards that abut Three Mile Drive. The site lies just east of North Riding Load. The
subdivision contains 10 lots of which two are larger single family in design and 8 lots which are
each intended to accommodate a 2 unit townhouse for a total of 18 houses.
The property is zoned RA-1 Low Density Residential Apartment. The minimum lot size is 6,000
square feet for a single family or two family (townhouse) unit with a minimum required lot
width of 60 feet. The lots that the applicants own are proposed to be 77 feet wide (17 feet wider
than the minimum required) and range in size from 7,084 to 9,240 square feet in size (1,084 to
3,240 square feet larger than the minimum lot size with the easements in question removed
from the calculation).
The applicants state that a hardship has developed because the floor plans of the houses they
propose will not fit on the lots if the 20 foot landscape, utility and bike path easement is taken
out of the lot (as is required by condition # 5) and placed in a common area. The staff,
planning board and council have been unified and clear on this position that common features
such as bike paths and landscaping easements which benefit the entire subdivision and which
need to have a unified maintenance program need to be located within a common area, not on
individual lots. This issue was debated in front of the planning board during the March 13
public hearing (please see the attached transmittal letter from Board President "Timothy
Norton) . The issue was again raised with the staff between planning board and council action
and the issue was specifically raised in front of the city council prior to the council approving
Three Mile Views Preliminary Flat
September 19, 2007
Page 2
Three Mile Views with Conditions S and 6 staying intact. It was further discussed in a letter
from Sean Conrad dated July 27, 2007 to Montana Mapping explaining why it is appropriate to
place common features within a common area and not on individual. lots. This letter is
included as a matter of background information.
In closing staff points out that the lots with the landscape, utility and bike path easement
removed will still exceed the minimum lot size of the zone and will have adequate building sites
as defined by our subdivision and zoning regulations. The applicants appear to have a housing
model that unfortunately may be bigger than the lots that they own. while this is unfortunate,
staff does not consider this an onerous hardship.
Should the council wish to formally reconsider Conditions S & C or the preliminary plat, the
applicants would apply to the planning office for an amendment to the approved preliminary
plat and staff would then schedule the issue at that time for the next available city council
meeting.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tom Jentz

RE: Three Mile Views subdivision
Dear Mr. Jentz:
FRANK B. MORRISON, JR. (1937-aoo6)
CERTIFIED CIVIL TRIAL A0VOCATE BY THE
NATIONAL BOARD OF TRIAL ADVOCACY
FORMER MONTANA SUPREME CDURT JUST[CE
* Licensed also in State of Louisiana
I represent Birgensmith-Erickson Builders, LLC. Chuck Birgensmith and Richard
Erickson asked me to review the conditions imposed on their proposed Three Mile Views
subdivision. The City of Kalispell Council approved the preliminary plat for Three Mile
Views on April 10, 2007. Condition #5 therein, a 20' landscape easement required within
the common area, and condition #0, requiring that a homeowners association be created,
have rendered the project not viable to the developers. Three Mile Views is therefore
undevelopabie with the conditions imposed by you.
The requirement that the bike path and drainage easements be placed within a
common area, rather than allowing them to be incorporated into the lots, has resulted in
the loss of sufficient uuildable area for the townholme sites. Th;s is caused by tha 0'
imposed easement essentially doubling the mandated setbacks. The result of the
easement condition is the removal of approximately 4110 acre of buildable area from the
subdivision. This new encroachment into the building footprints results in a maximum
livable space of only 950 square feet per unit, which is insufficient space to work with.
The envisioned and planned townhomes for Three Mile Views are single -story,
three -bedroom, two -bath units. With condition 5 applied, they can be no more than two -
bedroom, one -bath units. Adding a story to the units is not viable because that would
detrimentally affect the neighboring landowners' views, and the upstairs would be
inaccessible for elderly and disabled future owners. Further, because Three Mile Views
is proposed in a single-family residential neighborhood, the building of apartments there
would be unacceptable. Adding to the dilemma is that two -bedroom, one -bath units
would appropriately have a one -car garage rather than the planned two -car garages.
This would in turn require a 25' setback from the front street rather than the 20' setback
that a two car garage requires, causing the removal of additional buildable space, and
Page 2 of 3
September 0, 2007
consequent reduction of the overall building area on the lot boundaries to not much
more than the required minimum 40'x40.
Further, a homeowners association was neither envisioned nor planned for by
Birgensmith-Erickson Builders. I have found nothing in the applicable regulations which
would allow the city to force a homeowners association on this subdivision. If you can
point me to an applicable regulation, I would appreciate that. At present, this appears to
basically be a forced maintenance plan, to include maintaining a right-of-way which the
City does not intend to m:aj tai.n_::..(euen_ : Jf:hp # . pfp p.: to.. da p . it _ Qver .. t. som.e.. later. date,
it would not do so soon enough from the developer's perspective).
Supporting these unacceptable conditions appears to be the findings of fact
regarding "access." However, from both an automobile and bicycle perspective, there is
sufficient and adequate ingress/egress to the lots in the subdivision without the two
conditions imposed. I recognize that the Growth Policy envisions a connected bicycle
pathway. However, the bike path is already there and placing the bike path/landscape
and drainage easements into a common area is not the only solution. One alternative
could be (1) disallowing the fencing over of the landscape/bike path easement and (2)
requiring maintenance of the landscape and drainage easements by the developer to
the point of sale, and then transferring that requirement upon each individual lot owner
upon sale of the lot.
In any event, because a homeowners association was not planned for and my
clients had no reasonable expectation of one being forced upon them, that forced
requirement is another factor which renders this subdivision undevelopable with the
currently imposed conditions.
None of these requirements appear to have been consistently imposed on other
subdivisions in the Three Mile area. While Three Mile subdivision may be unique, the
developers feel that they have been singled out and forced into an untenable position.
Damages already incurred by Birgensmith-Erickson include interest on construction
loans, this lost selling season, and other consequences to the project being put on hold
because of these questionable requirements. Their loan contract has a residual clause
which allows them just 24 months to cornpiete the project or a "balloon" payrnei It will' be
imposed. That deadline to complete will arise in November 2008. Further, Birgensmith-
Erickson has paid for three versions or models of extensive architectural site reviews
and plans, causing additional unexpected expense.
With the foregoing in mind, please accept this as a final request for the city to
amend their conditions of approval to (1) remove the clause in condition 5 requiring the
20' landscape easement and 20' utility easement be placed within a common area, and
(2) remove the clause in condition 0 requiring a homeowners association. This would
allow the developer to be able to proceed with this subdivision as it was planned. Any
further delays will just incur more cost, forcing Birgensmith-Erickson to resort to litigation
because of these unwarranted conditions imposed by you and your planning office ---
with the taxpayers ultimately paying the price.
Page 3 of 3
September 6, 2007
As another alternative, Birgensmith-Erickson Builders would agree to landscape
and maintain to the bike path before and up to sale of the individual units. They would
agree to build and require a uniform, standardized fence, to be maintained by the
developer to the point of sale of individual units. They are open to considering other
conditions as well. Ultimately, allowing Three Mile Views Subdivision to be built, while
allowing the City to address its concerns, is possible without the unacceptable
conditions discussed above.
l urge you to reconsider your position on these discussed conditions imposed on
Three Mile Views Subdivision. We are available to meet with you and discuss this
matter at your convenience. l look forward to your reply within 7 days.
Very truly yours,
Doug Scotti

RE: Three Mile Views condition of Approval #5
Dear Mr. Ervin,
You requested the planning department provide you a letter briefly outlining the city's
current policy requiring bike/ pedestrian paths to be included in a separate common
area rather than within an easement over individual. properties. Specifically, your
clients for the Three Mile Views subdivision have questioned why the existing 20--foot
landscape easement along Three Mile Drive was required to be placed within a
separate common area outside of individual lot boundaries. condition #5 of the Three
Mile Viers subdivision reads as follows:
5. The 20 -foot landscape easement and 20 W-foot utility easement shall be located
within a common area and not on individual lots as shown on the prehminary
plat. Note: the detention pond easement may need to be expanded in
accordance with the approved storm water drainage plan.
The purpose for placing the 20--foot landscape and 20 -foot utility easement within a
common area is to increase the separation between future houses and the traveling
public. The planning department also had concerns with privacy fencing constructed
along the bake path creating a canyon effect along the length of the bike path and
having a consistent maintenance program for the bike path.
As noted in the memo to city council for their April 16, 2007 meeting, at which they
Considered the Three Mile Views preliminary plat request, common practice dictates
that a common feature available to and used by the residents of the subdivision a-nd
the general public be located in a common area, not on private property.
This practice of placing a common feature such as a bike; pedestrian path within a
common area has been incorporated into subdivisions along Three Mile Drive such as
mountain Vista Estates, Spring Creek Estates, Empire Estates and more recently
+� l .. l - -v - f � t`v l-.av e also placed bike paL 6
��.s . Subd�� �.slons �r� othzr pa1^-ts �� �.he �:�. -�
within a larger common area such as Silverbrook Estates and the Starling subdivision.
I realize that including the 20-Moot landscape easement within a common area, thereby
taping a certain amount of area out of each of the lots within the Three Mile Viers
subdivision, did reduce the potential building area on the lots-. However, each of the
proposed lots stili meet the i rm um building area as defined in the Kalispell
Subdivision Regulations.
The developer always has the option of requesting the condition be amended, in this
case to remove the clause in condition 5 requiring the 20-Moot landscape easement and
20-foot utility easement be placed within a common area. I would only point out that
you brought up this very issue at the planning board hearing and at the city council
meeting but both the planning board's recommendation and the council's decision On
the matter still required the easements to be located within a common area.
If I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sean Conrad

Re: Preliminary Plat request for Three Mile Viers Subdivision.
Dear Jim:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on March 13, 2007 and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Richard Erickson for preliminary plat approval to create an 18
lot residential subdivision on approximately 2.8 acres. The property is within the City
of Kalispell and is zoned RA- 1, Low Density Residential Apartment.
The property is located along the south side of Vista Loop, between Vista Loop and
Three Mile Drive, within the Three Mile Subdivision. The property can be legally
described as Lot 3 of Block 2 of the Amended subdivision Plat of Dots 1, 2 and 3 of
Block 2 and Lot 24 of Block 1 of Three Mile Subdivision., located in the South 1/2 of
Section 1, Township 28 North, Range 22 West.
Sean Conrad of the Kalispell Planning Department, presented staff report #KPP--07-3
and recommended the Planning Board consider recommending approval of the
preliminary plat subject to 14 conditions.
At the public hearing Olaf Ervin of Montana Mapping Associates spoke in favor of the
subdivision and directed his comments to recommended Condition #5. Condition #5
recommends the 20-foot landscape easement, 20-foot utility easement and detention
pond easement shown on the preliminary plat be located within a common area and
not on individual lots. The minutes reflect that the developers had concerns with
placing the easements listed in Condition. #5 in a common area because this would
change the building setbacks on the lots. By changing the building setback locations
it made it difficult for the building plans the developers had for the individual lots to
work with the new setbacks. Mr. Ervin requested the board recommend approval of
the proposed subdivision but that the developer reserves the right to further discuss
Condition #5 if they find that it does not work with their building plans. Chuck
Birgensmith, one of the developers and builders of the project, also spoke in favor of
the project.
After the public hearing the board discussed the proposal and a motion was made to
recommend approval of the preliminary plat to the Kalispell City Council subject to the
14 conditions listed in the staff report. The motion passed unanimously.
After the planning board hearing Mr. Ervin contacted city staff to further discuss
Condition #5 and possibly amend it to allow the easements listed in Condition. #5 to be
located on individual lots. In a letter dated March 15, 2007 from Mr. Ervin to Sean
Conrad of the Kalispell Planning Department he indicates the Public works
Department could allow some changes to the utility and drainage easements on the
site provided some minor modifications were made to the recommended conditions of
approval. This would include revising Condition #4 to increase the bike path to 12-
feet in width and use removable bollards to allow vehicle access along the drainage
easement. The Public works Department also recommended the existing stormwater
detention pond be replaced with an approved stormwater infiltration system
(subsurface stormwater detention facility) and that a note be placed on Condition #7
to require improvements to the ditch located on the north side of Three Mile Drive in
order to allow water to flow from the project site to an existing culvert within the Three
Mile Drive ditch.
The Planning Department recommends the existing 20--foot utility easement be placed
within a common area to provide for greater separation between the bike path
proposed within this easement and future houses located to the east and west of the
easement. If the 20-foot utility easement is allowed over the individual lots instead of
being placed in a common area building setbacks would be taken from the centerline
of the utility easement. Placing a 12--foot bike path within the utility easement would
potentially provide a separation of only 6 feet from the bike path to the house. This
will create a minimal separation between a house and the traveling public. If privacy
fencing is placed along the bike path because of the paths proximity to the future
homes, this would create a canyon effect along the length of the bike path. Common
practice dictates that a common feature available to and used by the residents of the
subdivision and the general public be located in a common area, not on private
property.
The Planning Department also recommends the Council consider requiring the
existing 20-foot landscape easement be placed in common area instead of an easement
on individual lots as discussed on pages 3 and 4 of the staff report. Not only is the
Planning Department concerned with maintenance of the bike path, the Department is
also concerned with providing separation between the existing bike path and future
fences along the bike path.
Therefore, the Council may consider the following amendments to the recommended
conditions of approval based on the developer's request and input from city- staff. -
Amend Condition 4 as follows: A bike path connection shall be installed within
the existing 20-foot utility easement located between lots 5B and 6A as shown
on the preliminary plat. The bike path shall be 12-feet wide and comply with
AASHTC standards for bike and pedestrian paths, and integrated into the
sidewalk along Vista Loop and the bike and pedestrian path along Three Mile
Drive. Plans for the bike path including the placement of removable bollards
for access along the 20-foot utility easement shall be reviewed and approved
by the Public works Department.
Amend condition S as follows: The 20--foot landscape easement and 20-foot
utility easement shall be located within a
common area and not on individual lots as shown on the preliminary plat.
Note: the detention pond easement may need to be expanded in accordance
with the approved storm water drainage plan.
Amend Condition 7 as follows: The developer shall submit to the Kalispell
Public works Department for review and approval a storrnwater report and an
engineered drainage plan that meets the requirements of the current city
standards for design and construction. Note: This will require
improvements to the north roadside ditch along 'Three Mile Drive.
Please schedule this matter for the April 16, 2007 regular Kalispell City Council
meeting. You may contact this board or Sean Conrad at the Kalispell Planni*ta.g
Department if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Kalispell City Planning Board
