The City Council approved the preliminary plat for Mountain Vista Estate Phase 4 with 27 conditions

period of three years. A one-year extension was granted in 2010. A second one-year extension was
granted in 2011. A final two-year extension was granted in 2012, which established the current final
plat submittal deadline of August 6, 2014.
All of the conditions have been met or adequately addressed. The following report summarizes the
applicant's compliance with the conditions of approval contained within Resolution No. 5221.

SANDRY CONSTRUCTION - MOUNTAIN VISTA ESTATES PHASE 4
Dear MARK SANDRY:
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is acknowledging receipt on 6/19/2014 of your complete Notice
of Intent (NOI) for permit coverage under the January 1, 2013, General Permit for Storm Water Discharges
Associated with Construction Activity (General Permit). For administrative purposes, you have been assigned
permit number MTR105629. Please include this permit number on any future correspondence with DEQ
regarding this site.
This letter acknowledges receipt of the complete NOI and does not provide a DEQ determination of the validity
of the information you provided. Your eligibility for coverage under the General Permit is based on the validity of
the certification you provided. Your signature on the NOI certifies that you have read, understood, and are
implementing all of the applicable requirements.
The General Permit requires you to implement the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and defines
inspection and record keeping requirements. Records defined in Part 2.5 are required to be maintained on -site
with the designated SWPPP Administrator. An electronic copy of the Permit and additional guidance materials
can be viewed and downloaded at http://deg.mt.gov/wginfo/mpdes/stormwaterconstruction.mcpx.
Coverage under the General Permit remains effective until you submit a complete Notice of Termination
(RIOT). Your signature on the NOT certifies that you have achieved final stabilization, removed your
temporary Best Management Practices, and have paid all applicable fees. Failure to submit a complete
NOT will result in the assessment of additional annual permit fees, which must be paid by the owner or
operator.
Coverage under this General Permit does not waive your obligation to obtain coverage under other applicable
permits.
If you have any questions regarding the requirements of the General Permit, please feel free to contact the
Water Protection Bureau at (406) 444-3080.

Re: Mountain Vista Subdivision, Phase IV
Dear Phil:
This letter is to serve as approval of the landscape design and park improvements for Mountain.
Vista Phase IVa. The parks department conditions to this phase are:
l . 8 trees in the boulevards in this phase based of the preliminary plat map. Trees need to
be planted to City, ANSI and ISA standards (Ordinance 1086).
2. Boulevards need to be graded to sidewalk and curb levels and then seeded or sodded.
3. Installation of 4 commercial grade benches along the linear homeowner's park. The
benches need to be 4 foot long and made from either metal or composite materials to
prevent decay. Locations can be determined with a walk through prior to installation
with the developer and the Parks Department.
4. 3 interpretive signs depicting animals that find refuge or their habitat along this linear
park corridor.
If you wish to use our developer's agreement for tree plantings like in previous phases of your
subdivision, please feel free to contact Lisa Simmer (lsimmergkalispell.com} for more
information.

relinquish any or all Special Declarant Rights. The Transition Date, if it has not
already occurred, will occur upon Declarant's election to permanently relinquish all
Special Declarant Rights. The relinquishment of Special Declarant Rights by
Declarant pursuant to this paragraph shall not affect rights and entitlements of
Declarant in its capacity as the Owner of any lot or home or otherwise available to
Declarant under this Declaration or applicable law.
Declarant, by reserving or exercising Special Declarant Rights or any other rights
under this Declaration, does not assume the primary authority of the Board to manage
the affairs of the Association. Nor does this Declaration impose any obligation on
V
Declarant to exercise such rights on behalf of the Association or the Board. The
reservation or rights by Declarant is an exception to Declarant's grant of rights and
power to the Association (and to the Board on behalf of the Association) to
administer, manage and control the Project. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to
exercise, any Special Declarant Rights or other rights available to Declarant (or to
Declarant's managing agent) shall be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment of
such rights for the future. No waiver of any such rights shall be deemed to have been
made by Declarant (or Declarant's managing agent) unless expressed in writing and
signed by the Declarant.
19. Waiver of Homestead.
Each Owner hereby waives to the extent of any liens created pursuant to this
Section, the benefit of any homestead or exemption law in effect at the time any

or other waste shall not be kept except in, sanitary containers, pending collection and

shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition.

all persons claiming under them for a period of thirty (30) years from the date these
covenants are recorded, after which time said covenants shall be automatically
extended for successive periods of ten (10) years. In the event that it appears to the
advantage of this platted subdivision that these restrictions should be modified, then
and in that event, any modification desired may be made by affirmative vote of 80%
of the then owners of lots within this subdivision and evidence by suitable instrument
filed for public record; or if such event occurs during the development period, such
modifications or waiver of non -conformity may be evidenced by special permission
granted in writing by the undersigned or its successor interest.
23. Enforcement shall be by proceeding at law or in equity against any person or
persons violating or attempting to violate any covenant, either to restrain violation, or
to recover damages. Invalidation of any one of these covenants by judgment or court
order shall in no way affect any of the other provisions, which shall remain in full
