06-12-14 Site Review MinutesSITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE SUMMARY Thursday, June 12, 2014 Lower Level Conference Room 201 First Avenue East ATTENDING: Mark Crowley, Construction Manager Keith Haskins, Senior Civil Engineer Tom Jentz, Planning & Building Director Rick Parker, Bldg. Dept. Inspector Rebekah Wargo, Asst. Civil Engineer Kevin LeClair, Acting Chairman Kathy Nelson, Recording Secretary GUESTS: James Freyholtz (Montana Department of Transportation); Terry Kramer and Ryan Pokorny (Kramer Enterprises); and Toby McIntyre (Jackola Engineering). PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Kalispell Center Mall — Crowley is still communicating with David Peterson. He has outlined a couple of options for Peterson to pursue. Highway 93 Alternate Route/Ashley Heights — soundwall. The building drawings are presently being reviewed and there are some issues over the engineering on that. Mr. Turner intends to build the wall this summer as required. He noted that his posted bond was for $98,000 and the bid he received was for $125,000 to build the wall. He asked LeClair that if he didn't build it, will we take his bond and try to build it ourselves. OLD BUSINESS: Kalispell Kidds — N. Meridian; new pediatric dental office. The building is 7,823 sq. ft. They want to get started on their site improvements. Public Works has received and approved their comments. This is approved through Site Review. There is a preconstruction meeting scheduled for Monday on this project. Radiation Oncology Building — 343 Sunnyview; expansion of existing medical facility. Wargo is still waiting for one item from McIntyre. There was a stormwater pond that had overflow into property they didn't own, which they now own. McIntyre will provide a letter explaining that. They are missing an ADA connection between the streets and the building front door. McIntyre will make an exhibit showing a proposed sidewalk. This will be on the agenda next week. Burger King — 205 — 18th Street East; new restaurant — on a parcel south of the Outlaw Inn. The revisions they made according to the Public Works' comments are with the owner for his review. The Building Dept. still needs to review this; probably within two or more weeks. They may split the lot and are looking at their options. This will be on the agenda for next week. The Meadows — off of Four Mile Drive. They are asking for a PUD Amendment request to switch to townhomes instead of condominiums. We can write this up as a minor change with conditions that will need to be met that would be considered if the requesting developer were to purchase the property. There will be a subdivision that will be required for the townhomes. Haskins noted that some of the fire hydrants will need to be moved. LeClair suggested everyone email suggestions for possible conditions to the group for discussion at our next meeting. This will be on the agenda for next week. NEW BUSINESS: Happy Paws Dog Day Care — 220 Kelly Rd; convert existing building to dog day care (Administrative CUP). They had shown a dog run on the south side of the building. They have since removed that because it's too close to the adjacent single-family residence. There is a change of use on the site, and they will be making some interior changes. Crowley noted that the last business that was considering this location was told to upgrade Kelly Road. LeClair asked everyone to view the site and bring comments to our meeting next week. Walk Your Dog Club — 111 West Idaho; convert existing retail to dog walking/grooming/kennel facility (Administrative CUP pending). There will be a 3-lane dog walking track upstairs. They had also initially shown an outdoor run, but that has been removed as it is not allowed in a residential area. There will be a retail area and a grooming/kennel area. This will be on the agenda for next week. PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Montana Academy — 1045 — 3rd Ave E — The Planning Board recommended approval to the City Council of this CUP. The project will be taken to the City Council at their meeting on July 7, 2014. Beehive Homes Assisted Living — on Stillwater Road on the Foxtrotter project area. The Planning Board recommended approval of their CUP for the use of the property. The Board modified some of the conditions, as well as removal of the condition requiring improvements on Stillwater Road, and made it a waiver of SID. They also removed the condition about their Protest to Waiver for the west side interceptor. The project will be taken to the City Council at their meeting on July 7, 2014. Growth Policy — The Planning Board had an extensive discussion on the Growth Policy, and tabled it until their next Work Session on July 8, 2014. OTHER BUSINESS: Bloomstone — Request for review of their modifications to the PUD as to whether it is a minor or major change. We asked them for a formal request about their overall phase approach for the PUD. They will be adding four apartments in an area that was supposed to be zero lot line houses. They will be increasing the total number of dwelling units by 16, and will be losing a row of 8-unit condominiums on the south side because of the widening and grading that happens for Four Mile Drive. They may end up losing more of the apartment units on the southwest corner in Phase 4. This will be on the agenda for next week. Jerry Begg's Property north of Two Mile Road or Ten -Acres off of Three Mile Drive, south side — Jentz and LeClair met with a developer that is looking at creating a multi -family, senior affordable housing project. Victory Commons — Freyholtz announced there will be a meeting on this on June 26th Empire Estates/Parkridge Drive — There will also be a Public Awareness meeting on June 18th at the Red Lion from 6 to 9 p.m. regarding the closing of Parkridge Drive and walls going in. MDT, Public Works, and Planning will be attending. The meeting was adjourned at 10:53 a.m.
