PUBLIC HEARING
Kalispell Airport Neighborhood Plan
Norm Kurtz, Montana Pilots Association President, felt the airport
could be run minimally and was in favor of appointing a volunteer
Airport Board, which would create a safety plan, mission statement,
an operating plan and a revenue plan.
Rich DeJana, 422 Summit Circle, representing Kalispell Youth
Soccer, passed a letter to Council and then highlighted the
contents. He would like the Council to make a decision on the
airport as soon as possible so everyone can begin planning and
moving along. He requested a citizen committee be formed to look
at the adult and the youth recreational needs of this community.
Gilbert Bissell, owner/manager of Aero Inn, 1830 Hwy 93, has done
several surveys and the results have shown many businesses receive
significant impact from the airport users.
Nick Haren, Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support of the Airport
Neighborhood Plan and encouraged the pursuit of implementation of
the plan.
647
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
Council's last work session 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. 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".
Larson moved Ordinance 1207, an ordinance amending Section
27.13.030 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, (Ordinance No. 1175),
by expanding the list of conditional uses in a Neighborhood
Business, B-1 Zoning classification to include "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" as a conditional use, and declaring
an effective date. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried upon roll call vote.
