PUBLIC HEARINGS
Agenda Item 4-Gateway Orchard Villas -Preliminary Plat
The hearing has been scheduled to receive public comment
concerning a request to amend a preliminary plat approval from
31 townhouse lots on 7 existing parent lots in Gateway Orchard
Villas to a total of 24 townhouse lots on the 7 parent lots.
The applicant previously requested a similar downsizing of the
subdivision receiving Council approval in 1994 to reduce the
number of units allowed on 4 other parent lots within the
subdivision from 20 to 13 units. If this request is approved by
Council the number of townhouse lots will reduce to 74 from the
original 88 units on the 19 parent lots.
Agenda Item 5-Buffalo Commons-PUD
The hearing is scheduled to receive public comment concerning a
request by Northwest Healthcare for a zone change from H-1, B-3
and RA-1 to a residential mixed use Planned Unit Development in
the RA-1 zone. The intent of the PUD is to provide a zoning
district classification which may provide flexibility of
architectural design and mixing of land uses while preserving
and enhancing the integrity and environmental values of the
area. This classification also set forth a time frame for
improvements to be installed, types of uses permitted, lot
sizes, landscaping and street layout.
3
The project consists of approximately 70 acres, and is located
between U.S. Highway 93 on the west and Grandview Drive on the
east, Sunnyview Lane and Heritage Way on the south and Indian
Trail Road on the north.
ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
Agenda Item 6-Jake Brake Ordinance-2nd Reading
Occasionally over the last few years residents of north
Kalispell, particularly those living in Buffalo Hill Terrace and
along North Meridian, have complained about the noise made by
semi -truck Jake brakes as they descend the hill into town. This
ordinance would prohibit the use of air compression (Jake)
brakes inside the city limits except for emergency purposes.
Staff recommends that Council adopt the ordinance as submitted.
Agenda Item 7-Farmers' Market-2nd Reading
Ordinance 1224 amends our Farmers' Market policy by deleting in
Section 2, the language "made and/or grown within Northwest
Montana counties may be sold or bartered in such a market;
barter or sale therein of meat, milk and/or milk products,
canned or processed foods is prohibited." And replacing it with
"other items approved for sale by the City -County Health
Department, made or grown in Flathead and/or Lake County, may be
sold in said Farmers' Market". The ordinance is further amended
by striking the term Flathead County Health Department and
replacing it with City -County Health Department.
F1
The change with this ordinance will now allow vendors of the
Farmers' Market to sell certain meat products if authorized by
the Health Department. Staff is recommending the amendment to
Council.
Agenda Item 8-Resolution 4205-Gateway Orchard Villas Preliminary
Plat
This resolution approves the preliminary plat of the
resubdivision of Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13 and 15 of Gateway
Orchard Villas. The preliminary plat resubdivides 31 townhouse
lots on 7 parent lots into 24 townhouse lots on the 7 parent
lots. The Planning Board held a hearing on the request with no
one speaking against the proposal. The Board recommends that
Council adopt the preliminary plat with no conditions. Staff
concurs with the Board's recommendation.
Resolution 4206-Zimbelman Minor Preliminary Plat
This is a request by Gilbert Zimbelman for preliminary plat
approval of a two lot subdivision located approximately 150 feet
south of Center Street on the west side of 3rd Avenue East.
This is a minor subdivision which does not require a public
hearing or a recommendation from the Planning Board. The site
contains approximately 3,553 square feet with 50 foot of
frontage on 3rd Avenue East. It is recommended that the
preliminary plat be approved subject to the following
conditions:
5
1. Comply with the City's Building Codes.
2. Create easements and obtain approval from the respective
utility companies.
3. Obtain approval from the City's Public Works Department for
sewer and water connections.

Agenda Item 13-Bid Recommendation -Lawrence Park
I have included within your packet a memo from Mike Baker
concerning the Lawrence park bid recommendation. There were two
bidders on the project, Evergreen Landscaping and Sandon
Construction. Evergreen Landscaping was low bidder on the base
bid and all alternatives. Mike has recommended that Evergreen
landscaping be awarded the base bid plus bid alternative
#3,Irrigation Zone 5. The total award equals $43,850.00. A
motion and vote is necessary to award the contract to Evergreen
Landscaping in that amount.
