Duane Larson Ward IV F ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS Agenda Item 5-Ordinance 1228-Salary-Police/Fire-lst Reading The purpose of this ordinance is to update the salary ordinance to include the new salaries for the police and fire bargaining unit members and also the previously negotiated salaries for our AFSCME members. As you are aware, we have negotiated a tentative labor agreement with both the police and fire associations, which I will be asking you to approve later in this agenda. Agenda Item 6-Resolution 4217-Adopt, Revise, or Reject Stillwater River/Shady Lane -Master Plan Amendment William Lincoln is requesting an amendment to the Kalispell City/County Master Plan on his property located on the north side of Conrad Drive east of the Stillwater River. The requested amendment would change the land use designation from Suburban Residential (0-2 dwelling units per acre) to Urban Residential (2-8 dwelling units per acre). Mr. Lincoln's request was originally limited to his 50 acre tract of land, but was expanded by FRDO to include another 190 acres of property located from the Stillwater River to Shady Lane, and from Conrad Drive south to Highway 2 and 35. The Planning Board held a public hearing considering this request with one person speaking in support of the proposal and 18 speaking in opposition. The Planning Board has recommended rejection of the proposed amendment, and staff concurs with this recommendation. 3 Agenda Item 7-Resolution 4218-Hird Annexation This is a request for annexation of a parcel of land containing approximately .5 acre located 150 feet east of 5th Avenue East and 1,000 feet south of 18th Street East. The applicant has also petitioned for a zoning classification of RA-1. This annexation request was prompted by the creation of the 5th Avenue East Sewer SID. The Planning Board recommends the property be zoned RA-1 upon its annexation. Staff agrees with the Board's recommendation and further recommends that Council adopt the resolution annexing the parcel into the City of Kalispell. i Agenda Item 8-Resolution 4219-Boller Annexation This resolution is a request for annexation of a parcel of land containing 18,300 square feet located approximately 150 feet east of 5th Avenue East and 400 feet south of 14th Street East. This annexation request was also prompted by the 5th Avenue East Sewer SID. The Planning Board recommends an RA-1 zoning classification upon annexation. Staff concurs with the Board's recommendation for zoning and further recommends that Council adopt the resolution annexing the parcel into the city. 4 Agenda Item 9-Resolution 4220-Myren Annexation This resolution provides for the annexation of a 1.4 acre parcel located on the northwest side of Kalispell, 110 feet west of Garland Street approximately 900 feet north of Three Mile Drive. The zoning classification is proposed to be R-3. The Planning Board recommends the R-3 and staff agrees. Staff is also recommending that Council adopt the resolution annexing the parcel into the city. Agenda Item 10-Resolution 4221-Fairway Boulevard Phases VI, VII and VIII This resolution completes the annexation of the Fairway Boulevard subdivision. Phases I-V were previously annexed as part of an agreement reached with the property owners affected by the original annexation. Phases VI, VII and VIII were not a part of the original annexation, because at the time they were not final platted. Since they are now final platted and being built upon, the property owners in phase I-V have asked that the city initiate annexation so that all phases of the subdivision fall within the city jurisdiction for city service purposes. The intent of the resolution is to annex phase VI, VII, and VIII, which will complete the annexation of Fairway Boulevard. It is the recommendation of the Planning Board to assign the property an R-3 zone and staff agrees. Further, staff recommends the adoption of the resolution allowing for the annexation of this property in the city. BUSINESS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL Agenda Item 11-Board Appointments Mayor Rauthe will have recommendations for appointments to the Board of Adjustments, City/County Planning Board, and the Parking Commission. At this time, the Mayor is still reviewing the applicants who have expressed an interest in serving on the Airport Advisory Board. BUSINESS FROM MANAGER Agenda Item 12-Flathead Industries CUP This is a request by Flathead Industries for a conditional use permit to allow a 7-unit apartment complex on properties located at 217 and 229 4th Avenue West. The property is properly zoned RA-2 High Density Residential. The Planning Board held a public hearing on the request with no one speaking in opposition. The Planning Board recommends the approval of the CUP request with nine conditions. Staff agrees with the Planning Board's recommendations and requests Council's favorable consideration. Agenda Item 13-Northwest Montana Mental Health CUP Amendment As you are aware, your decision to grant a conditional use permit to Western Montana Mental Health Center to operate a community residential facility at 1225-2nd Avenue East has resulted in a lawsuit alleging the city's requirement that WMMHC staff Independence House on a 24-hour basis violates state and federal anti -discrimination laws. 6 At your work session of June 26, 1995, you discussed this issue and concluded that it would be in the city's best interest to amend condition number 2 of the CUP by striking the following language: "The community residential facility herein authorized shall provide on -site resident care on a twenty-four hour a day basis." The amended condition 2 will read, "This conditional use permit is approved in accordance with MCA Title 76, Sections 76-2-412; and 76-2-411(1), which states that this is to be "a community group home for the developmentally, mentally, or severely disabled persons which does not provide skilled or intermediate nursing care." Any deviation or modification of this permit will require an amended/new conditional use permit. Agenda Item 14-Police/Fire Labor Contracts I previously discussed with you the recently negotiated labor contracts with our police and fire bargaining units. The two contracts are very similar with regard to settlement; 1) both are three year contracts; 2) both call for salary increases of 3% each of the three years or the CPI-U western edition, whichever is greater; 3) both require the city to pay for physicals of its members not covered by our insurance; 4) the fire contract recognizes for the first time the value of EMT -I and Paramedic status by paying certification pay for those members holding these certifications; and 5) the police contract authorizes $50.00 per month for those members required to carry pagers. 7 It is my recommendation that Council ratify the contracts and allow the City Manager to sign them on behalf of the city.
