The property is about 1 acre in size and is accessed from both Liberty Street and Meridian Road. The request is to change the zone from R-3 to R-5. The request was the subject of a public hearing at the Planning Board's September 12th meeting. The minutes of the meeting are included in your packet. The Planning Board unanimously recommends approval of the zone change request and Staff concurred with the recommendation. Agenda Item 6-Ordinance 1230-Zoning Text Amendment -Parking lst Reading Ordinance 1230 would reduce the parking requirement for grocery and supermarkets from 1 space per every 100 square feet of floor area of customer sales and service, plus one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area of storage and office to 1 space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Staff is proposing the change because the present standard is two to three times the national average for this type of business. Industry standards typically call for four to five spaces per one thousand square feet of gross floor area. 3 After discussing the matter at your work session of last week it appeared to be Council's consensus to amend the ordinance by removing any reference to grocery and supermarkets, thereby requiring future grocery and supermarket developments to follow the parking standard for other retail business under Section 27.26.050 (35) of the zoning code. This will achieve the same objective of reducing the parking requirements for grocery stores and supermarkets. This request was the subject of a public hearing at the September 12th Planning Board meeting and is forwarded to Council with a favorable recommendation. Agenda Item 7-Ordinance 1231-Zoning Text Amendment -Cluster Development -1st Reading This amendment would reduce the minimum acreage required for a cluster development from 2 acres to 21,000 square feet. it is Staff's opinion that requiring 2 acres is an excessive requirement in an urban environment such as we have in Kalispell. This request was the subject of a public hearing at the Planning Board's September 12th meeting. The Board recommends the approval of this zone change request and Staff concurs. Agenda Item 8-Ordinance 1232-Hagerman-Zane Change Reguest-RA-1 to RA-3-1st Reading William Hagerman, and several other property owners including the City of Kalispell have requested a zone change for 0 properties located south of 18th Street on the west side of Airport Road. The properties are approximately 4.8 acres. The zone would change from RA-1 to RA-3. This request was the subject of a public hearing at the September 12th Planning Board meeting. The Board unanimously recommends the approval of the zone change and Staff concurs. Agenda Item 9-Resolution 4235 Amendment -Authorizing the Issuance and Calling for the Public Sale of Bonds for SID No. 342 The intent of this amendment is to add language in Section 1. .(b) of Resolution 4235 which will require the owner of lots 7AD, 7A, 1, 3, 9, and 10 included in SID 342 to pay all the cost of extending water mains as the lots are the only benefiting properties from this portion of the project. The estimated cost of this portion of the project is $15,000. Agenda Item 10-Resolution 4239-Marshall Addition No. 269-Zoning and Annexation This annexation and zoning request is a result of a property owner desiring access to the city sewer being extended down 5th Avenue East. The property is located about 150 feet east of 5th Avenue East and 400 feet south of 18th Street East. The Planning Board held a public hearing on the proposal and recommend the request be approved granting the parcel an RA-1 zone designation. 5 BUSINESS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL Agenda Item 11-Proclamation Mayor Rauthe will be proclaiming October lst-7th as Mental Illness Awareness Week.

Montessori School is located on the north side of Park Hill Road approximately 150 feet west of College Avenue. The expansion would occur on the south side of the existing building. The Planning Board held a public hearing on the request and are recommending approval of the CUP. Staff concurs with the Board's recommendation and requests Council approval of the CUP subject to the three conditions. ,1 Agenda Item 15-Final Plat -Amended Plat of Lot 2, Arndt -Walker Subdivision This is a request for final plat approval for the Arndt -Walker subdivision, a two lot residential subdivision located on the west side of 5th Avenue East about 400 feet south of 18th Street East. Council approved the preliminary plat of this subdivision in November, 1993 and granted a one year extension of time as the owner was waiting for the creation of the 5th Avenue East sewer SID. The preliminary plat was approved with four conditions. The Planning Office report indicates that the final plat is in substantial compliance with all conditions and is recommending Council grant final plat approval. Agenda Item 16-Bid Awards-SID No. 342 (Corporate Way) We opened bids for the Corporate Way SID project this past week. Four bidders responded to the bid request. All four bids were turned over to Carver Engineering for evaluation and bid recommendation. The results of Carver's evaluation should be available Monday Evening for your consideration. South Woodland Public Improvements We will be opening bids Friday morning September 29th and should have a bid recommendation available for you Monday evening. 7 Agenda Item 17-Proposed Highway 93 North Sewer Extension As you are aware our budget for this year includes an appropriation of $470,000 to fund engineering design and construction of a sewer main north along Highway 93 to Reserve Drive. For the past couple of months we have been discussing the relative pros and cons of this project and you decided at your work session of last week to consider the project during your regular meeting of this week. As you know, I consider this project to be one of opportunity to coordinate its construction along with the reconstruction of this section of Highway 93. It has been my opinion that by doing so we would be able to save substantially as a result of the coordinated effort. As we now know the savings is estimated to be only about 15% or $75,000, which is a savings, but not as substantial as I originally thought. In any event I still believe there is some relative merit to building the sewer main, because it opens the corridor to present and future development. I understand the Council is split on this issue and appreciate the differences of opinion as both sides of the issue raise excellent supporting points.
