DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING & ZONING
COMMENTS FOR MONTH OF FEBRUARY, 1997
BuildingActivity
ctivity
February was a slow month for issuing building permits.
Permits were issued for two single family homes and a permit was issued for a new
commercial building by the Flathead Electric Coop.
Zoning:
There were five (5) sign permits issued for the month of February.
1'. Timeless Treasures
2. Super Wash
3. The Rose Casino
4. Duffy Pete, LCSW
5. Cafe Max
The zoning administrator worked closely with a representative from City Service South to
help them make decisions on what they are able to do with their site once Tire -Rama and
the City Service Corporate offices move out. We have been discussing signage as well as
parking issues.
Several projects are still ongoing; including the Super Stop canopy, Dr. Lambert's office,
and Design Concepts addition and remodel.
The Kalispell Pit Stop on the corner of 2nd Avenue has been approved by the
Architectural Review Committee and they are proceeding with construction. The building
will be constructed of split -faced block.
There has been an extremely high number of calls regarding whether a property is located
in the floodplain.
There have been several inquiries from people about possible projects around the city.
The phone and walk-in inquiries are picking up as we get closer to spring.
General:
Construction is off when compared to last year. High lot prices and deep snow have
contributed to the slow construction. Several contractors have indicated that the summer
will be a good construction season.
Also, many buildings which sustained damage from heavy snow loads on roofs are being
repaired. Several remain to be fixed.

KALISPELL MEDICAL ARTS, L.L.C.
210 Sunnyview Lane
Kalispell, MT 59901
752-7347
March 24, 1997
To Whom It May Concern:
Rapid vehicle traffic between Sunnyview Lane and Conway Drive has
increased in volume and now poses a serious safety issue for our
patients. They are often elderly and frail and unsuspecting as
they try to walk across the lot. We are aware of a number of
close calls and no longer find the safety issue tolerable.
We will shortly be closing off both North entrances to the
Medical Arts parking lot. The two South entrances off Conway
Drive will remain unchanged.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate
your understanding of the safety issue which dictates this move.
Sincerely yours,
William Boehme, M. D.
President Medical Arts Partnership

723 5TH AVE. EAST, ROOM 414
KALISPELL, MT $9901
MARCH 24, 1997
RE: KALISPELL ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH EXPANSION
ATTN: CITY COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS:
I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE CHURCH EXPANSION. I DO FEEL THAT THEY
SHOULD PROVIDE MORE EXITS FROM 'THEIR PARKING LOT OTHER THAN
SUMMIT RIDGE DRIVE. MY REASONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. ON SUNDRY THE PARKING LOT IS FULL. THIS FORCES CARS TO
PARK ALONG SUMMIT RIDGE DRIVE. THEY HAVE ONLY TWO EXITS PROM THE
PARKING LOT TO HANDLE MANY VEHICLES AND AT LEAST 1,200 CHURCH
MEMBERS.
2. THE SUGAR 'N SPICE DAYCARE HAS OVER 100 CHILDREN .BEING
DROPPED OFF AND PICKED UP BY PARENTS. EVERY DAY BETWEEN 5:00 P.M.
AND 6:00 P.M. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN NORTH ON HIGHWAY
93!
3. MY SUGGESTION IS TO CONNECT THE TWO SECTIONS OF PARKWAY DRIVE
AND MAKE ANOTHER EXIT FROM THE CHURCH PARKING LOT TO PARKWAY
DRIVE. THE CONNECTION OF PARKWAY DRIVE WOULD ALSO PROVIDE THE
BALLFIELD COMPLEX AN EXIT OTHER THAN FOUR MILE DRIVE FOR PEOPLE
TO RETURN TO KALISPELL.
4. CHURCH EXPANSION WITH MORE PEOPLE AND MORE CARS WITHOUT
CREATING ANOTHER EXIT FROM THE PARKING LOT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I RECOMMEND WITHOLDING YOUR APPROVAL UNTIL THE CHURCH AGREES TO
THE CONNECTION OF PARKWAY DRIVE TO THE SUNRISE VIEW SUBDIVISION.

CC: KALISPELL CITY COUNCIL
Council Meeting Response Items
T. Is this Zoning appropriate it,ith the Master Plan.7 Yes listen to the following tllaster
plan excepts..
• The Master plan itself in item Le. states Adopt a municipal azuiexation program which coordinates with
the Extension of services Plan to aggressively deal with fringe developments setting the stage for
immediate or future annexation so as to preserve the tax base of the city and eliminate the barriers to
further growth.
• Master plan goal and objectives, "economy" items 5 a-h: a healthy diversified economy promoted by
careful planning .'type and location and design of industrial sites, shopping areas and tourist facilities.
• 5 Land use, Summary & Analysis, Paragraph 2: Within Kalispell, development is occurring almost
exclusively in the north and northwest portions of the city with minor activity in the southeast corner.
• 5 Land use commercial Paragraph 1: Kalispell should continue to maintain its role as the
comercial/service center for the Flathead County and areas beyond. The percentage of commercially
developed land is projected to increase slightly to 8%. Therefore, to keep pace with anticipated growth
approximatly 400 additional acres of commercial land will be needed in the next 25 years.
2. Will this Zoning decrease street congestion ?
• The existing traffic infrastructure has been upgraded to handle the current and future volume for this
site. Neighborhood core amenities reduce congestion elsewhere, and provide convenient access to
surrounding residents.
3. .historical attributes: Not applicable
4. hill this zoning provide additional security from fire panic and other dangers?
Yes.
• The existing density in the area is already substantial and increasing. (i.e. Semi -Tool, Nupac, Mountain
Villa, Country Estates) commercial Zoning and extended utilities and related fie hydrants to the
subject parcel area will greatly enhance fire fighting capacity and response time.
5. THII this Zoning requestpromote health and general ivelfare? Yes.
• Along with the afore mentioned item, the commercial businesses in the area would provide much
needed relief on the traffic to and from town which is now dedicated to accessing essential services
which would be provided on this site.
6. Till this zoning have any affect on the density of this parcel? No.
• Both B-2 and I-1 have minimum lot sizes of 7500 sq. ft. There is no density change.
7. grill this zoning request lead to undue concentration of people and activities? No.
• As mentioned previously the density allotment for the current zoning and the requested commercial
designation is the same. The infrastructure has been upgraded to accommodate the planned and
current activity potential at this site. It seems logical to allow commercial zoning for obvious reasons
such as placing commercial sites in areas designed for traffic volume, and providing the required patron
density and highway exposure for successful business.
S. Tl'di this designation provide adequate and improved lighting and air? Absohidy.
• Commercial B-2 will be far more friendly to the surrounding enviromnent than Industrial 1-1 uses
regarding impact from a physical and aesthetic standpoint.
9. id'W this zoning facilitate provision of transportation, water, selvage, schools,
parks, and other public requirements? A resounding Yes.
• The Positives in relation to traffic have just been covered. Add to that the following: Extension of
utilities from the FVCC site would further justify the expense of a lift station and it should also be
noted that an existing high capacity well is in existance in the area proposed for utility extensions and
could.possibly be used as a new water system well site. Additionally from a trasportation standpoint,
most notable is the possibility to access FVCC and Grandview Dr. from West Reserve in a combined
Access/ Utility Easement.
10. Does this Zoning give consideration to the particular suitahility of die property for
particular uses? Yes.
• The demographics of the valley are dictating the necessity for the subject parcel to become commercial.
The interest in this property has been initiated by the markets demand to have certain exposure
volumes of traffic.
11. Does the new zoning was adopted ijith a view of consen�ing the value of the
property}? Yes.
• Peak value for this property is without question commercial use. To think that industrial applications
would invest the large dollars in fill to create a site is not realistic. Certain industrial applications could
utilize the site, but are not conducive to preserving the subjects property value or of the parcels
surrounding it.
12. Does the neiv zoning encourage the nxost appropriate use of the land throughout
tine, jurisdiction.
• The demographics of the valley are dictating the necessity for the subject parcel to become commercial.
The interest in this property has been initiated by market demand. Allowing B-2 zoning on the subject
parcel without question creates the most practical and realistic use of the land.
