TECHNICAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background:
Gateway Orchard villas has an approved Conditional Use Permit and an approved Final Plat
on it. The Conditional Use Permit was approved in March, 1993, under file number KCU-93-1
for apartments, townhouses, or condominiums. The parent Final Plat was approved in
August, 1993, under file number KFP-93-4, for 19 lots. On September 20, 1993, the City
Council approved a Preliminary and Final Plat for townhouse development on Lots 1, 2, 11,
and 14 for a total of 18 townhouse lots. On October 19, 1993, preliminary plat for the
balance of the townhouse lots were approved by the Planning Board and on November 15,
1993 Council approved them. Council also approved the Final Plat for the townhouse lots
on November 15, 1993. In 1994 GESN proposed a reduction in the number of townhouse
units on parent Lots 16,17, 18, and 19 from 20 to 13 units; that proposal was approved by
City Council. If this application is approved it would reduce the total number of townhouse
lots from 88 to 74 on the 19 parent lots.

Drive. The sites are more specifically described as the Resubdivision of Lots 5, 6, 7, 8,10,13,

28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
Existing Land Use/Zoning:
The Gateway Orchard Villas is currently under construction with townhouses.
Proposed Land Use:

from 31 to 24 units. Parent Lot 7 townhome lots are not proposed to be reduced, only
realigned.

West: single-family,

orchard Villas Subdivision. No amendments are proposed to the covenants.
Utilities:
The proposed subdivisions have a full range of public utilities and services available,
Including municipal water and sewer, storm water drainage, garbage collection, and police
and fire protection, as well as telephone, gas, cable TV, and electricity.
REVIEW AND COMMENTS
This preliminary plat is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with Ordinance No.
987, the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations.
EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY:
The effects and/or impacts of this type of development are no more than were analyzed
under the approved Conditional Use Permit and parent Subdivision. This project Is within

Emergency medical support is located nearby at Kalispell Regional Hospital. The property
does not exhibit any natural hazards. The terrain is sloped but not excessively and the
property is not within a designated floodplain. Access Is via Glenwood Drive to the
Individual cul-de-sacs servicing the lots. A reduction in the number of lots would reduce
any impacts.

zoned for residential development and is being developed accordingly. There is no residual
wildlife habitat of significant value.
EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
The property is sloped but exhibits no unique natural features. The lots have no unusual
or significant plant communities associated with it. These lots have already been
committed to residential development by previous subdivision and conditional use permit
approvals. There will be no additional impact on the natural environment.
EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
The effects on local services: schools, parks and recreation, fire protection, police
protection, roads, water, sewer, public health services have been analyzed under the
Conditional Use Permit and parent subdivision. A reduction in the number of lots would
reduce any impacts.

and will have no direct or indirect impacts on agricultural activities.
DISCUSSION
The property is served or can be served by all necessary public facilities and utilities. it is
appropriately zoned and each proposed lot has adequate building area. The proposed
development of the properties as townhomes in this configuration will be no different or
of less impact than development as has already been approved. The site is generally
surrounded by compatible land uses.

and forward same to City Council with a recommendation of approval for the amended
Preliminary Plat of Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 15 of Gateway Orchard Villas for townhouse
development.
