A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE HUNTER 1 AND 2
SUBDIVISION, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA.
WHEREAS, Kit and Shelby Hunter, the owners of certain real
property known as the Hunter 1 and 2 Subdivision and more
particularly described as Assessor's Tracts 8T1A and 8TAB in the
southeast quarter of Section 18, Township 28 North, Range 21 West,
P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana has petitioned for approval of the
subdivision plat of said property, and
WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision plat of said property is
subject to the provisions of Section 2.7 (Summary Subdivision
Review), Subdivision Regulations of the City of Kalispell, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell at its
regular Council Meeting of May 6, 1996 reviewed the FRDO Report
#KSR-96-3, and found from the Preliminary Plat, and evidence, that
the subdivision is in the public interest, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has based its findings upon the
following findings of fact:
A. EFFECTS ON HEALTH AND SAFETY:
Fire: The property is within the Kalispell Fire Department's
service area. The property owner has extended the right-of-
way to provide hammerhead turnaround in the case of a fire
emergency. No unusual concerns regarding fire safety or fire
protection are related to this site or the proposed
subdivision. A fire hydrant is located at the northeast
corner of the property.
Topography: The topography of the site is level with no
potential problems for development or public safety concerns.
Roads: Access to the subdivision is at the end of Fourth
Avenue West. Fourth Avenue West is a paved City street with
a forty foot right-of-way. This forty foot right-of-way has
been extended to provide for fire access and future extension
of the roadway to the east if necessary. Access to the
existing house will be provided from a flag extending to the
terminus of the right-of-way.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
No significant impact to wildlife and wildlife habitat from
the development of this additional parcel. This is on a
fringe urban area. Some limited wildlife habitat may exist in
the more rural area to the west, primarily birds and deer.
C. EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
No surface water is within the immediate area of this site
which might be impacted by this development. Because this
subdivision will be on public water and sewer, no impacts to
groundwater can be anticipated. The existing house is on an
on -site septic system which will be abandoned and hooked up to
City sewer.
Erosion and runoff problems should be limited because of the
level topography of the site. Revegetation of the disturbed
areas after development of the site will adequately control
potential erosion and stormwater runoff.
D. EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
Sewer: Kalispell public sewer is available to this site by
extending a service line from the main located on Fourth
Avenue West. The existing residence is currently served by an
on -site septic system which will be abandoned.
Water: Kalispell public water currently serves the existing
residence. An additional service line will be provided for
the new home from an existing main on Fourth Avenue West.
Adequate water service is available to accommodate the
additional residence.
Roads: An additional 10 vehicle trips per day onto Fourth
Avenue West can be anticipated once the additional lot is
developed. This is a City owned and maintained road which is
adequate to accommodate the additional traffic.
Schools: No substantial impact can be anticipated from
approximately one additional school age child which might be
generated as a result of this additional lot.
Parks: No parkland dedicated is required for this two lot
residential subdivision.
Police Protection: The site is served by the Kalispell City
Police Department. Minimal impacts to the department can be
anticipated.
Fire Protection: Fire protection can be provided by the
Kalispell City Fire Department. No unusual circumstances
exist which would hinder their ability to provide service to
this subdivision. A hammerhead turnaround has been provided
at the end of the street which has been reviewed and approved
by the fire chief.
2
Refuse Disposal: Municipal refuse service is available to
serve this property. Adequate space at the County landfill is
available for the solid waste which will be generated by the
subdivision.
Medical Services: Kalispell Regional Hospital is
approximately one mile from the site. ALERT helicopter and
the ambulance services are available.
E. EFFECTS ON AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL WATER USERS
FACILITIES:
No impacts to agriculture can be anticipated as a result of
this subdivision since this is an urban area of the county.

Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: variance to cul-de-sac requirements for
local stream, Section 24A-42, Table 1, minimum radius
Consideration of the criteria for granting a variance to the minimum cul-de-sac radius
requirements is discussed below.
a. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public bealth,
safety, or general welfare or Injurious to other adjoining properties;
4
.^.t.. I- JJ .ill J. 7:R ILA.(.;;AV AL ..,ci `Jo
The topography of the site and access to the site is generally level. Fire danger
in general is low bemuse of the lack of fuel, generally level site and low density.
It does not appear that the public health, safety or general welfare would be
negatively effected by granting this variance.
b. The wndfflons on whkh the request for the vadam Is based an =dq= C
the property on which the variance Is sought and we rwt applicable rn�l
t other property;
This progeny is located at the end of a street which will not rely be exteeiaded
directly south because there is a house in the direct path and because of the
topography. if the applicants cannot obtain a variance, they will not be able to
create these two (2) lots.
C. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical
conditim of the specific property Involved, a paMcular hardship to the
owner would result, as disdn&shed by a mere Inconvenience, if the strk:t
letter of these regulations are enforced;
Low fire danger, generally level topography and good access make this a
reasonable variance request. An undue hardship would result if the strict letter
of the regulations are observed because the property would not be able to
subdivided because of the amount of land that would be required for a 100 foot
{ radius cul-de-sac.
d. The variance will not in any manner vary the provisions of the zoning
regulations or the comprehenslre plan.
No variance to zoning or element of the master plan would result from granting
this variance.
Based on the variance evaluation criteria above, it does not appear that there would be any
substantial detrirnental effects to the public health, safety or welfare nor would there be
increased costs. A fire truck turnaround is being provided that will be subject to review and
approval by the Kalispell fire chief. Staff would recommend that the City Council the variance
request and allow the hammerhead turnaround rather than the 100 foot radius cul-de-sw.
