ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
Agenda Item 2-Ordinance 1205-H-1 Zone-2nd Reading
The City of Kalispell has requested the rezoning of
approximately 70 acres of property generally located on the east
side of U.S. Highway 93 between Heritage Way and Crestline
Avenue. (Map included in packet) The subject properties are
currently zoned R-3 (Urban Single Family), RA-1 (Low Density
Residential Apartment), RA-3 (Residential Apartment office), and
B-3 (Community Business). Our request is to change these zones
to H-1 (Health Care). The Planning Board held a public hearing
on this request and is recommending that Council adopt the H-1
Zone for all parcels except the one B-3 Zone which is being
excluded until a neighborhood plan for the area can be
completed. Staff concurs with the Planning Board's
recommendation.
Agenda Item 3-Ordinance 1206-Yachechak Zone Change-lst Reading
The City has been requested by Ken Yachechak to consider a zone
change for approximately .8 acres he owns from B-2 (General
Business) to I-1 (Light Industrial). The property is located
generally 400 feet south of U.S. Highway 2 and east of Meridian.
The Kalispell Master Plan designated this area as Light
Industrial and anticipates industrial uses. The surrounding
uses are also compatible with the proposed I-1 zone. The
Kalispell Planning Board held a public hearing on this request
with only the applicant providing testimony.
3
The Planning Board unanimously recommends this zone change
request and Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Agenda Item 4-Ordinance 1207-Zoninq Ordinance Text Amendment to
the B-1 Zone -1st Reading
The City has been requested by Doug Johns of Mountain Paging
Network to amend the text of the B-1 zone. The B-1 zone does
not currently allow telecommunication companies and/or radio
common carriers with ancillary antennas as permitted or
conditional uses. Mr. Johns is interested in moving his paging
business to 13 East Oregon Street, which is zoned B-1. The
issue involves allowing this type of use with an antenna in the
B-1 zone. The applicant has requested that telecommunication
companies and/or radio common carriers with ancillary antennas
be permitted as a conditional use. The Planning Board
considered the applicant's request following a public hearing
where no one spoke in opposition. The Board's recommendation on
a 4-3 vote is to allow telecommunication companies and/or radio
common carriers with ancillary antennas as a conditional use in
the B-1 zone. During your work session of last week the request
received considerable discussion which concluded with a
directive to modify the language approved by the Planning Board
to restrict the height and size of antennas allowed as
conditional use in the B-1 zone.
4
Ordinance 1207 includes the modified language and reads
"telecommunication companies and/or radio common carriers with
ancillary antennas with mono -pole design and a base not to
exceed 12 inches and a total height not to exceed 70 feet".
Agenda Item 5-Resolution 4147-Intent to Annex Evergreen
The purpose of this resolution is to establish the City
Council's intent to annex certain property described in Exhibit
"A" and more commonly known as the Evergreen commercial strip.
It is the City's intent to annex the property to the city limits
under the provisions of Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 43 Montana Code
Annotated (annexation of contiguous land). The resolution
includes 6 specific sections that outlines the process to be
followed if Council approves the resolution.
Acrenda Item 6-Resolution 4148-Amend Master Plan
The City has received a request from Dennis Carver to amend the
Kalispell City/County Master Plan by changing the designation of
approximately 250 acres from Suburban Residential (0-2 dwelling
units per acre) to Urban Residential (2-8 dwelling units per
acre). The general location of the property is southwest of
town, east of the B.N. Railroad right of way, west of Airport
Road, and south of Sunnyside Drive. The Planning Board held a
public hearing on the request and has forwarded a favorable
recommendation to Council.
5
Last meeting you recall adoption of Resolution 4146, which
established Council's intent to adopt, revise or reject the
Planning Board's recommendation. Resolution 4148 adopts the
findings and recommendation of the Planning Board which amends
the Master Plan by changing the land use designation of the
property previously discussed from Suburban Residential to Urban
Residential. It is Staff's recommendation that council adopt
the resolution as submitted.
BUSINESS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL
Agenda Item 7-Proclamation

The proclamation is included in your packet.
BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Aaenda Item 8-Mountain Paging -Conditional Use Permit
Doug Johns has applied to the City for a conditional use permit
to construct a mono -pole antenna, ancillary to a
telecommunications office he wishes to open at 13 East Oregon
Street. Assuming you approved Ordinance 1207, it is reasonable
and recommended that you approve Mr. Johns request for a
conditional use permit subject to 4 conditions.

Agenda Item 9-Three Mile Farm -Preliminary Plat Request
We are in receipt of a letter from attorney Thomas Bostock
requesting on behalf of his client a two-year extension to the
Three Mile Farm Country Townhomes preliminary plat. The request
is not unusual, however previous requests considered by this
Council have only been for one year. It is my recommendation
therefore that Council grant a one year extension for the Three
Mile Farm Preliminary Plat to August 16, 1995.
Agenda Item 10-Notice Ordering Construction of Curbing
At your work session of last week we discussed the need to
install curb and gutter along 18th Street from 3rd Avenue East
and 5th Avenue East. Staff has prepared the construction
estimate per each property owner to be assessed. Total cost for
curb and gutter will be approximately $8,729 to be assessed on
a lineal foot benefit basis. If Council is interested in
ordering in the curb and gutter we will need Council to do so by
motion.
