A request by Steve and Sara Black Welder for approval of a conditional use
permit to allow a minor expansion of a montessori school in the RA-1 zone. The
properties total approximately 35,000 square feet in area and are located on the
north side of Park Hill Road approximately 150 feet west of College Avenue.
The property is more particularly described as Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 2, Willis
Addition, in the SW'/a of Section 8, Township 28 North, Range 21 West,
P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The address of the property is 5 Park Hill

use permit subject to three (3) conditions. The applicant and his representative spoke in favor
of the request; no one spoke in opposition. The Board voted 7-0 recommending approval of the
Conditional Use Permit.
