Drawer 1997 Kalispell, MT 59901 Re: Final Plat for Ashley Park Subdivision, Phase II Dear Clarence: Phone: (406) 758-5980 Fax: (406) 758-5781 Our office has received the application for final plat approval of Ashley Park, Phase II. This property is located in the southeast area of Kalispell off of Airport Road. The property has access from Airport Road, through Ashley Park, Phase I. Preliminary plat approval was granted by the Board of County Commissioners on May 10, 1994 subject to 14 conditions of approval. The entire subdivision contains approximately eight phases which will be final platted along with their annexation into the City of Kalispell. This final plat and petition for annexation is being sent to you to be scheduled for the November 12, 1996 Council work session and subsequent November 18, 1996 regular meeting for final action. Note that the hearing for initial zoning upon annexation will be held on November 14, 1996 before the Kalispell City -County Planning Board, therefore planning board minutes will not likely be available. However, this is a very non -controversial item as the developer has petitioned annexation and all improvements will have been constructed to City standards. The dates for review by the Council are an attempt to "fast track" this project so that the developer can record the final plat and begin construction. The following is a list of the conditions of approval and a discussion of how they have been met. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. That the subdivision obtain approval from the State Department of Health and Environmental Sciences. This condition has been met. The subdivision has been approved by the State Department of Environmental Quality under the Master Plan Exemption for areas served by municipal water and sewer.
