Ordinance No. 1732 - Amendments to Willow Creek PUD —
Pedestrian Trail Changes
October 7, 2013
Wayne Turner, developer of the Willow Creek subdivision located between Foys Lake Road and
Ashley Creek on the west side of Kalispell has requested several amendments to the approved
PUD agreement for Willow Creek. The amendments deal with the location and design of the
bike -pedestrian trail system. A council work session on this item was held on August 26. It is
now being brought forward for council consideration and action.
Background
On July 5, 2010, Wayne Turner d.b.a. Trigon, Inc., received PUD approval to develop a 471 lot
residential subdivision on 140 acres of land bounded on the south by Foys Lake Road, on the
north by Ashley Creek and the east by the US Highway 93 Alternate Route (Bypass). Ordinance
1678 approving the PUD contained 33 conditions of approval. Condition #33, which was added
by the city council, required that the proposed pedestrian trail be placed in a grade separated box
culvert as it crossed the main northern access road "Plymouth Crossing". This condition was
placed on the PUD to address concerns raised by representatives of the Rails to Trails
organization of Northwest Montana. They felt that Plymouth Crossing would sever the Meridian
Trail and create a safety hazard as there were no other road crossings along the two mile stretch
between North Meridian Road in Kalispell, and Dern Road to the west. At that council meeting,
there was discussion as to how to resolve this subdivision road/trail crossing issue. The initial
suggestion was to have a grade separated crossing at the Meridian Trail intersection and require
the developer to build a pedestrian bridge carrying the Meridian Trail over the top of Plymouth
Crossing Road. This bridge crossing was outside of the formal subdivision on land that was still
in the county and there were some legal concerns about the city's ability to require this type of
off -site condition. In the end, this issue was resolved by requiring that the trail cross the primary
north access road (Plymouth Crossing) inside the subdivision via a box culvert. The condition
stated:
33. The/bike/pedestrian trail will continue on the north side of the Willow Creek
development, cross under the street (Plymouth Crossing) in a box culvert and then
proceed north back to the original trail.
Wayne Turner began meeting with the planning office staff approximately a year ago to re-
consider this issue. It was Wayne Turner's contention that the box culvert was going to create
more issues than it would resolve. Those issues included:
• The box culvert was going to be approximately 75-100 feet long and be the subject of
graffiti and safety issues as people may not want to use it at night or in the evening.
• Water and sewer mains were planned for Plymouth Crossing Road. The lines had to be at
least 3-6 feet underground and there was no room to construct an 8 foot tall box culvert
under Plymouth Crossing with the utilities in place in the road.
• The outlet of the box culvert was extremely close to the floodplain of Ashley Creek.
• Because Plymouth Crossing and the pedestrian path are at the same grade, there will be
significant excavation to lower the trail 10 feet to get under Plymouth Crossing.
• The box culvert was significantly expensive.
• There were better ways to handle the pedestrian crossing issue in light of the fact that the
newly constructed bypass has provided a relief valve for much of the traffic that might
have used Willow Creek as a cut across to US 2.
The planning staff agreed to work with Mr. Turner to see if we could mutually address his
concerns. We informed Mr. Turner that the Rails to Trails organization was involved in the
setting of this condition and should be included in the discussions.
Planning staff then proceeded to meet with Wayne Turner and his representative, Tom Esch, and
with the Rails to Trails organization. In the end, we were able to draft a 9 point agreement that
addressed Mr. Turner's, Rails to Trails, and the city staffs concerns. Those points of agreement
that are relative to the amendment of the PUD are as follows:
1. Condition # 33 of the approved PUD shall be amended so that the required box culvert be
deleted and in its place an at -grade trail crossing shall be constructed with a pedestrian
cross walk, crossing signage and bulb -outs that neck -down the road to allow for the safe
crossing of pedestrians and bicyclists across the subdivision road.
2. When the trail is built through the Willow Creek Subdivision, as is required by the Willow
Creek PUD, the route shall be modified from being adjacent to the subdivision road
labeled Plymouth Crossing to diverting west after crossing Ashley Creek to the western
boundary of Mr. Turner's property then extending northerly to intersect with the Meridian
Trail. The new trail shall be designed to ASHTO Standard, have a minimum travel surface
width of 10 feet and the grade shall not exceed 5% as depicted in Attachment A.
3. Mr. Turner shall grade a parking area on the city's RAV along the north side of the
Meridian Trail at the Hoffert Property beginning from the his access road to the location
of the old railroad water well, using the existing railroad ballast as material. This shall be
completed by October 31, 2013. It will not be paved at this time. Rails to Trails of
Northwest Montana shall be responsible for all future upkeep and maintenance of the
parking area.
4. Mr. Turner shall grant a perpetual easement to the city along his access road from US
Highway 2 to the Meridian Trail intersection to allow pedestrian, bike and vehicles to
access the new parking area. This shall be completed by October 31, 2013.
5. Mr. Turner may continue to maintain the access road only as he needs for his purposes,
but shall not be required to maintain the road for access to the parking area. There may be
no winter maintenance of the road unless Mr. Turner needs it for his purposes. If Rails to
Trails of NW Montana or the city wishes to do improvements to the road, they may after
receiving approval from Mr. Turner.
The five conditions above which were negotiated between Mr. Turner, Rails to Trails of NW MT
and city staff appear to be a very reasonable and equitable solution. Staff acknowledges that
condition #33 was originally placed prior to construction of the Alternate US 93 bypass. At that
time, it appeared that the main road through Willow Creek would become a defacto short cut to
US 2 bypassing Meridian Road. However, with the advent of the bypass and in light of the
circuitous nature of Plymouth Crossing as it is proposes to travel through Willow Creek, the
potential for cut -through traffic through this subdivision is non-existent. Therefore, the traffic on
Plymouth Crossing at this trail intersection will be local and significantly reduced. Additionally,
the improved trail alignment and simplicity of the at -grade crossing will be a definite asset to this
neighborhood.
A copy of the original 9 point agreement between Rails to Trails and Mr. Turner (attached)
contained several issues specifically between Rails to Trails and Mr. Turner that have already been
resolved. Therefore, the five provisions outlined above are the only remaining issues subject to the
PUD amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the city council approve Ordinance No. 1732
amending condition #33 of the Willow Creek PUD incorporating the 5 conditions as outlined
above.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal effect to the city.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom Jentz

Agreement to Improve Rails to Trails
Access and Safety
This agreement is between Rails to Trails of NW Montana, Wayne Turner and the City
of Kalispell, for the purpose of improving the safety and access to the Rails to Trails
west of Kalispell as follows:
The City of Kalispell shall obtain the old railroad right-of-way now owned MDT,
including that portion which bisects Wayne's Hoffert property. This is a condition
precedent to all of the next provisions.
2. Wayne shall grade a parking area on the City's right-of-way at the Hoffert
property in the general location from his access road to the location of the old
railroad water well, using the existing ballast as material. This shall be completed
by May 15, 2013. It will not be paved at this time. Rails to Trails shall be
responsible for all future upkeep and maintenance of the parking area.
3. Wayne shall grant a perpetual easement along his access road to Rails -to -Trails
to access the new parking area. This shall be completed by May 15, 2013.
4. Wayne may continue to maintain the access road only as he needed for his
purposes, but shall not be required to maintain the road for access to the parking
area. There may be no winter maintenance of the road unless Wayne needs it
for his purposes. If Rails to Trails wishes to do minimal improvements to the
road, they may after receiving approval from Wayne.
5. When and if the trail is ever built through the Willow Creek Subdivision the route
shall be modified from being adjacent to the subdivision road to diverting west
after crossing Ashley Creek to the western boundary of Wayne's property. The
new trail shall be designed to ASHTO Standards, have a minimum travel surface
width of 10 feet and the grade shall not exceed 5%, as depicted in Attachment A.
6. Rails -to -Trails and the City agree to modify the required crossing of the new trail
in the Willow Creek Subdivision PUD from the now required underpass to an at
grade crossing with signage and neck -down curbing to allow for the safe crossing
of the subdivision road similar to the crossings at the Bypass roundabouts.
7. There is no agreement about access at Fenn Way as part of this agreement. If
the City or Rails -to -Trail obtains permission from the railroad to build parking on
the north side of the end of the rail right-of-way the parties will revisit this
location.
8. Wayne may sign Fenn Way "No -Trespassing" at the intersection of Appleway
and Fenn Way. If he so chooses, he may gate Fenn Way to prohibit or inhibit
trespass on his property.
9. Wayne shall move back off of the Rails -to -Trails Easement the line of rock that
was placed along the trail on the east side of Fenn Way where the Meridian Trail
crosses Fenn Way. This will allow Rails -to -Trails the ability to maintain the weeds
along the southern edge of the trail and remove a safety hazard from off of the
trail.
