RE: Glacier Bank Conditional Use Permit
Dear Bruce:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission met in regular session on Tuesday,
July 11, 1995 and held a public hearing on the following:
A request by Glacier Bank for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an eight lane drive -
through banking facility with one lane dedicated as an ATM lane and minimal walk in
traffic. The proposal is in the B-4 zone. This development would have direct access
from Center Street and a proposed east/west cut across access along the north boundary.
This proposed access would connect 1st and 3rd Avenues EN with a 24 foot paved travel
surface. In addition to this access an additional north/south access connecting Center
Street with this cut across is proposed along the common boundary of Lots 1 and 2.
John Parsons of FRDO presented report #KCU-95-03 and stated that based on staffs evaluation would
recommend granting the Permit subject to nine (9) conditions. Parsons amended Condition #3 to delete the
phrase "...and parking" because adequate parking can be provided onsite.
The applicant and representative explained the project in detail. The applicant had no objections to the
conditions of approval. No one spoke in opposition.
Following the public hearing, the Board discussed the public testimony, and agreed to the amended condition.
The Board voted 6-0 in favor of adopting the findings of fact in report #KCU-95-03, recommending approval
of the conditional use permit, subject to the conditions as listed on Attachment A.
This recommendation is being forwarded to the City Council for final action. Council must wait for the
minutes of the Planning Board meeting prior to taking action, however it does not preclude discussion at
Council workshop. If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact the Commission or John
Parsons at FRDO.

CONDITIONAL USE REPORT #KCU95-03
GLACIER BANK
JUNE 28, 1995
A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission regarding
a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive -up banking facility. This request
is scheduled for a public hearing on July 11, 1995 at 6:00 p.m. before the Kalispell
Planning Board. A recommendation will then be forwarded to the Kalispell City Council
for final action. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 213 -
lst Avenue East, Kalispell.
A. APPLICANT/OWNER
Owner: Glacier Bank
202 Main Street
Kalispell, Mt 59901
Representative: Dave Meridith
PO Box 7128
Kalispell, Mt 59904-7128
B. SIZE AND LOCATION:
The property is approximately 31, 000 square feet in area, measuring 120 feet by 260
feet. It is located on the north side of Center Street approximately 200 feet east of
1st Avenue EN. The project is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2 of Kalispell
Market Place, Phase 3. It should be noted that the subdivision has not yet been
Final Platted, so the lot technically does not yet exist.
C. NATURE OF REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow an eight lane drive -
through banking facility with one lane dedicated as an ATM lane and minimal walk
in traffic. The proposal is in the B-4 zone. This development would have direct
access from Center Street and a proposed east/west cut across access along the north
boundary. This proposed access would connect 1st and 3rd Avenues EN with a 24
foot paved travel surface. In addition to this access an additional north/south access
connecting Center Street with this cut across is proposed along the common
boundary of Lots 1 and 2.
D. LAND USE AND ZONING
The proposed Lot 2 of the subject property is currently vacant. North of this project
is the railroad and Tidymans, east has the quonset huts and the Manion building,
west is the Loading Dock, and south are various commercial uses. This property
and the surrounding properties are zoned B-4.
E. MASTER PLAN DESIGNATION
The Master Plan designates this area for commercial development and anticipates the
type of use, it also designates Center Street as an arterial.
F. EVALUATION OF REQUEST
1. Site Suitability:
a. Adequate Useable Space: The proposal will be a free standing
canopy type structure with a central processing building. The
structure is proposed towards the north side of the property. There
is adequate room to accommodate the proposed building and stacking
for four vehicles at the drive -up area. Because of building code
requirements a twenty foot separation between commercial structures
is required to be maintained. This comes into play because of the
existing quonset huts to the east and would require retrofitting the
huts with fire walls without a no building easement. A no building
easement on the property is required to be recorded, and was included
in the preliminary plat approval.
b. Adequate Access: Access is proposed from Center Street, a common
driveway between lots 1 and 2, and from the east/west cut across.
These accesses will be adequate for the proposed and future uses. A
cross access and parking agreement was required for the subdivision
to allow common use of the drive aisles and parking. The proposed
east/west cut across would be constructed as a 24 foot travel surface
with 2 foot curb and gutter on the north side from lst to 3rd and with
curb and gutter on the south side on subject property.
C. Environmental Constraints: No known or documented environmental
constraints exist on or adjacent to this site.
2. _Appropriate Design:
a. Parking Scheme: The site is primarily a Drive up facility. Access
to the parking and drive -up area is primarily from Center Street. The
existing parking lot is moderately well laid out. This proposed
parking would back out onto this 24 foot east/west access road.
While this situation is not considered a significant negative design
flaw, vehicles parking in this parking area may fund it difficult, from
time to time, to back out. Additional parking, is supplied through the
cross access and parking agreement to be entered into for all the
proposed lots and for what is primarily a drive -through facility.
Development of this property as a bank will remove parking from the
Loading Dock to the west. This situation would require a parking lot
2
to be developed on the north side of the Loading Dock concurrent
with the development of the bank and should be included as part of
any approval of the bank. The cross access and parking agreement,
in order to work, would need this parking. A preliminary design has
been submitted which addresses the parking areas on the Loading
Dock property.
The common north/south driveway supplies access to 11 proposed
parking stalls, a minimum 24 foot backup up area is required for
perpendicular parking.
b. Traffic Circulation: Traffic would enter from the south (Center
Street) and flow north through the drive -through and exit to the cut
across or the common driveway at the west property line. This traffic
could then access lst Avenue EN, 3rd Avenue EN, or Center Street.
C. Open Space/landscaping: The applicant has not submitted a landscape
plan with the application. A plan would be required to be approved
by the City's Site Review Committee. The landscaped areas are
outlined on the site plan and are generally at the perimeter of the
development.
d. Fencing/Screening: No fencing or screening exists or is needed.
However, the railroad is immediately to the north. The railroad may
feel it necessary to have an additional fence installed along their
ROW. A condition has been added to obtain written authorization to
either waive a fence or install a fence.
e. Signer: The applicants have not proposed any signs. However,
signs are anticipated to locate on the building and on Center Street.
3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities:
a. Schools: Because of the commercial nature of this facility, no impact
on schools is anticipated.
b. Parks and Recreation: Because of the commercial nature of this
facility, no impact on parks or recreation is anticipated.
C. Police: The facility can be adequately served by existing staff and
equipment.
d. Fire Protection: The facility can be adequately served by existing
staff and equipment.
e. Water and sewer: The facility can be adequately served by existing
facilities.
3
g. Solid Waste: The site can be adequately served by the Kalispell
Municipal collection service.
h. Roads: The existing road system appears to adequately serve the site
when appropriate easements for access to the east and west, and back
to Center Street are in place. Additional ROW for Center Street has
been set aside with the approval of the Kalispell Market Place, Phase
3 subdivision and would be acquired when the City needs it. This
additional street ROW currently exists as a 20 foot utility easement.
4. Immediate Neighborhood Impact: This area has developed with commercial
uses. The proposal will support this concept. The greatest impacts will
include an increase in traffic flows.
5. Immediate Neighborhood Integrity: This project is located within an area
designated for commercial use and would be an asset and incentive for
redevelopment of the adjacent properties. This character of development is
anticipated.
6. Impact on Property Values: The proposed project is in an area of existing
commercial uses. The proposed development is considered harmonious with
adjacent uses and developments and should have no negative impact on
established property values in the area.
G. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission
adopt this report as Findings of Fact and grant the requested Conditional Use Permit,
subject to the following conditions.
1. The development shall be in conformance to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance,
in particular landscaping and parking.
2. The proposed development of the property shall be in substantial
conformance with the approved plan of development.
3. Enter into a cross access and parking agreement with Lots 1 and 3 of
Kalispell Market Place Phase 3.
4. Improve with 24 foot of paving and curb and gutter on the north side of the
east/west driveway access road along the north boundary of Lots 1, 2, and
3 of Kalispell Market Place, Phase 3.
5. Improve the parking lot and driveway on Lot 1 of Kalispell Market Place,
Phase 3 concurrent with the development of the bank. This parking is to be
completed prior to occupancy of the bank.

W
6. Record a building separation easement on Lot 2 where the building code
requires the separation of buildings.
7. An exterior lighting plan be approved by the police department.
8. Comply with the requirements of the Railroad for fencing along the rail
right-of-way.
9. This Conditional Use Permit shall terminate 18 months from the date of
authorization if commencement of the authorized activity has not begun.
