06. Resolution 4160 - Ashley Park AnnexationRESOLUTION NO. 4160
A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, A TRACT
OF LAND DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", TO BE KNOWN AS ASHLEY PARK
ADDITION NO. 258; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, R-
4, TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY AND TO DECLARE AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell has received a petition from
Dennis Carver and Gaylon Owens, the owners of the property
described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and thereby made a part
hereof, requesting that the City of Kalispell annex the territory
into the City, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a
report on Ashley Park Addition No. 258, City Zone Request, KA-94-5,
dated June 27, 1994, and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission recommended that the territory be annexed into the City
of Kalispell and be zoned Two Family Residential, R-4, and
WHEREAS, based upon the Report of the Flathead Regional
Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is appropriate based upon the
following criterion:
Does the requested zone comply with the Master Plan?
The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the
Kalispell City -County Master Plan. According to the map
of the master plan, the property is currently designated
"Urban Residential", with a maximum density of 8 dwelling
units per acre. R-4 is considered in compliance with the
Master Plan.
Does the requested zone lessen congestion in the streets?
Congestion in the street is caused by an overburden on
the street traffic. The zone in this case would not
cause undue congestion because traffic generation is a
function of the number of dwelling units that are allowed
within a given area. The property is currently
subdivided in a manner which precludes any further
subdivisions. No additional traffic would be generated
by this zoning designation.
1
Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic,
and other dangers?
Development within this zone is subject to development
standards including: lot coverage, maximum building
height; and the provision of off-street parking.
Further, any development of the property is subject to
review by the City's Site Review Committee, and requires
the issuance of building, plumbing, mechanical and
electrical permits. These requirements and review
processes help ensure that development of the property
subsequent to the zone change is done in a safe manner.
No significant negative impact is expected. -
Will the requested zone promote the health and general
welfare?
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to
promote the general health and welfare and does so by
implementing the City Master Plan. The City's Master
Plan would support the requested zone change.
Designation of this area as R-4 would serve the Flathead
region with additional residential development. Any
traffic generation that the proposed change allows would
be mitigated at the time of development. In addition,
this area has direct access to an existing major arterial
which would have access to the Alternate Highway 93
route. Any impact to stormwater runoff, sewers, and
water would be addressed at the time of development
proposals.
The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public
input and review for all zone change requests. This
process offers an opportunity to ensure that any changes
to the Official Zoning Map are done in the general public
interest. Additionally, other review mechanisms are in
place to ensure that development is in compliance with
all applicable safety codes. No significant negative
impact is expected.
Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and
air?
The development standards of the zoning ordinance and
subdivision regulations (i.e.: parking, landscaping,
clear vision setback, roadway improvements) would ensure
that light and air are adequately provided.
Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or
exceeds the environmental or service limitations of the
F,
property. The Subdivision and Zoning Regulations
controls the intensity requirements that a property can
be developed with. Adequate infrastructure is in place
or can be provided at the time of development to
accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested zone.
No significant impact is expected.
Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of
people?
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted
by a particular zone. The proposed zone change would
increase residential density in the area. Infrastructure
exists or can be provided which supports the proposed
change. The zoning ordinance covers the intensity of use
that would be permitted in this zone. An undue
concentration of people would result if the property is
developed at a level which exceeds the environmental or
service carrying capacity of the land which would not
happen. The proposed zoning will insure that the site is
properly developed. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision
of transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks and other
public requirements?
The additional demands for transportation, water and
sewer will be evaluated pursuant to individual
development proposals. Because of the types of uses
permitted in the zone schools and parks should not be
significantly impacted. No significant negative impact
is expected.
Does the requested zone give consideration to the
particular suitability of the property for particular
uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted
within the R-4 zone. The property is of adequate size
and has adequate access to facilities for the type of
uses permitted in the proposed zone. No significant
negative impact is expected.
Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to
the character of this district?
The properties in question are well suited for the type
of development anticipated under the requested zone
because of the topography, access, regional location, and
size of the proposal. No significant negative impact is
expected.
3
Will the proposed zone conserve the value of the
buildings?
The subject request would not significantly impact
buildings. If legally constructed buildings exist that
don't meet the requirements of the new zone those
buildings would be considered non -conforming. This non-
conforming status would permit those buildings to
continue as before. There are no known uses that would
be affected by this zone. A change to the R-4 zone will
not significantly impact, erode or devalue the
neighborhood beyond the type of uses that are currently
allowed. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate
use of the land throughout the jurisdiction?
The requested zoning classification would be consistent
with the Kalispell City -County Master Plan. The Plan and
the existing permitted uses under the zoning ordinance
generally identifies this area for residential. The
change would encourage the most appropriate use of the
land. No significant negative impact is expected.
WHEREAS, on the 3rd day of April, 1989 the City Council of the
City of Kalispell adopted, pursuant to Section 7-2-4610, Montana
Code Annotated, an Extension of Services Plan which anticipates
development of City services for approximately five years in the

the extension of municipal services or maintenance of existing
services within the area of Ashley Park Addition No. 258, subject
to annexation, including water, sewer, storm drainage, streets,
garbage collection, police protection and fire protection, and
WHEREAS, said "mini -extension of services plan" provides for
financing the extension of municipal services or maintenance of
existing services by utilizing funds allocated and expended,
pursuant to the annual City budget without incurring additional
bonded indebtedness, and
WHEREAS, Ashley Park Addition No. 258 is included within and
conforms to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan, and
4

EXISTING SERVICES:
Water: A municipal water line will need to be extended to serve this property. The
City has sufficient capacity to serve this site when the extension Is made.

this site.
Garbage Callection: Available by contract from private companies.
Police _Protection.- Currently the Flathead County Sheriffs Department.
FireProtection: West Valley Volunteer Fire Department.
Water: Water supply would be able to be extended to the property from the
water line north In Airport Road. If not, a water main must be extended to
connect with a main of sufficient capacity to serve this property. Capacity and any
extensions would be evaluated at the review stage of any development permit.
Sewer: Sewer would be collected In a conventional gravity flow system which
would feed into the City's sewerage disposal plant northeast of the site. This

Re: Recommendation of Zoning for Ashley Park Addition No. 258
Dear Bruce:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission met on July 12,
1994, and held a public hearing on the following agenda item:
Request by Dennis Carver and Gaylon Owens for annexation to the City of
Kalispell with an initial zoning classification of R-4 (Two Family Residential).
The parcel contains approximately 9.8 acres located on the west side of
Airport Road nearly 1,000 feet sout of 18th Street. The site has access onto
Airport Road. The property will also be known as Ashley Park Subdivision,
Phase I. It is further described as being in the SE4NE4 and the NE4SE4 of
Section 19, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana.
During the public hearing, no one spoke either in favor or in opposition of the
requested zoning classification. The Board questioned whether the property
owner on the corner had been contacted to voluntarily annex. Staff replied that
it was essentially an island and the City could initiate annexation. By unanimous
vote, the Commission adopted FRDO Report #KA-94-5 as findings of fact, and
recommend to the City Council that the subject property be zoned R-4 upon
annexation into the City of Kalispell.
This recommendation for zoning is forwarded to the City Council for a subsequent
public hearing and final action. Please contact the Commission or the FRDO if you
have any questions.

The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the Kalispell City -County Master
Plan. According to the map of the master plan, the property is currently
designated "Urban Residential", with a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per
acre. R-4 is considered in compliance with the Master Plan.
Does The Requested zone Lessen Congestion in the Streets?
Congestion in the street is caused by an overburden on the street traffic. The zone
in this case would not cause undo congestion because traffic generation is a
function of the number of dwelling units that are allowed within a given area. The
t property is currently subdivided in a manner which precludes any further
subdivisions. No additional traffic would be generated by this zoning designation.
Will The Requested zone Secure Safety From Fire, Panic And Other Dangers?
Development within this zone is subject to development standards including: lot
coverage, maximum building height; and the provision of off-street parking.
Further, any development of the property is subject to review by the City's Site

mechanical and electrical permits. These requirements and review processes help
ensure that development of the property subsequent to the zone change is done
in a safe manner. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Change Promote The Health And General Welfare?
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to promote the general
health and welfare and does so by implementing the City Master Plan. The City's
Master Plan would support the requested zone change. Designation of this area as
R-4 would serve the Flathead region with additional residential development. Any
traffic generation that the proposed change allows would be mitigated at the time

The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public input and review for all
zone change requests. This process offers an opportunity to ensure that any
changes to the Official Zoning Map are done in the general public interest.
Additionally, other review mechanisms are in place to ensure that development is
in compliance with all applicable safety codes. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Will The Reauested Zone Provide For Adequate Light And Air?

(i.e.: parking, landscaping, clear vision setback, roadway improvements) would
ensure that light and air are adequately provided.
Will The Requested Zone Change Prevent The overcrowding of Land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or exceeds the
environmental or service limitations of the property. The Subdivision and Zoning
Regulations controls the intensity requirements that a property can be developed
with. Adequate infrastructure is in place or can be provided at the time of
development to accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested zone. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Zone Avoid Undue Concentration Of People
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted by a particular zone.
The proposed zone change would increase residential density in the area. Infra-
structure exists or can be provided which supports the proposed change. The
zoning ordinance covers the intensity of use that would be permitted in this zone.
An undue concentration of people would result if the property is developed at a
level which exceeds the environmental or service carrying capacity of the land
which would not happen. The proposed zoning will insure that the site is properly
developed. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Zone Facilitate The Adequate Provision Of Transportation,
Water, Sewer, Schools, Parks And Other Public Requirements?
The additional demands for transportation, water, and sewer will be evaluated
pursuant to individual development proposals. Because of the types of uses

Property. For Particular Uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted within the R-4 zone. The
property is of adequate size and has adequate access to facilities for the type of
uses permitted in the proposed zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
P
Does The Requested Zoning Give Reasonable Consideration To The Character Of This
District?
The properties in question are well suited for the type development anticipated
under the requested zone because of the topography, access, regional location,
and size of the proposal. No significant negative impact is expected.
Would The Proposed Zoning Conserve The Value Of The Buildings?
The subject request would not significantly impact buildings. if legally constructed
buildings exist that don't meet the requirements of the new zone those buildings
would be considered non -conforming. This non -conforming status would permit
those buildings to continue as before. There are no known uses that would be
affected by this zone. A change to the R-4 zone will not significantly impact, erode
or devalue the neighborhood beyond the type of uses that are currently allowed.
No significant negative impact is expected.
Will The Requested Zone Change Encourage The Most Appropriate Use Of The Land
Throughout The Jurisdiction?
The requested zoning classification would be consistent with the Kalispell City -
County Master Plan. The Plan and the existing permitted uses under the zoning
ordinance generally identifies this area for residential. The change would
encourage the most appropriate use of the land. No significant negative impact
is expected.
The property is located in an area that is in a stage of transition, existing and
proposed residential development are planned for the area. This zone change
would facilitate an orderly development of related uses. It is staffs' opinion that
the proposed R-4 zone would serve the needs of the community by allowing
residential development to occur in a manner that is commensurate with the
services available to the area.
