AGENDA ITEM 7 - RESOLUTION 4336-LANTIS SUBDIVISION -PRELIMINARY PLAT
BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: The FRDO report for the Lantis
Subdivision Preliminary Plat is enclosed for your review. Since
this is fewer than a six lot subdivision, the Planning Board does
not act upon this request. The Council is the only agency of
approval for this process.
RECOMMENDATION: FRDO's recommendations are on Page four of this
report. Approval is recommended for this Preliminary Plat with ten
recommended conditions. I concur with the approval recommendation
and with the ten conditions outlined.
ACTION REQUIRED: Approval of the Preliminary Plat can be completed
by passage of RESOLUTION 4336.
RESOLUTION NO. 43-35—
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE LANTIS
SUBDIVISION, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA.
WHEREAS, Lantis Enterprises, the owner of certain real
property known as the Lantis Subdivision located between Three Mile
Drive and Liberty Street approximately one-half mile West of
Meridian Road and more particularly described as Assessor's Tract
5AM located in Section 12, 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 Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission has recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat of the
Lantis Subdivision, subject to certain conditions and
recommendations, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell at its
regular Council Meeting of June 16, 1997, reviewed the FRDO Report
#KSR-97-1, reviewed the recommendations of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, 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 risk of fire in this area is low because this is
a generally urban area with good access and lack of fire
hazards in the area.
TTgraphv: The topography of the site has moderate slopes
from the North to the South. The grades are between five and
eight percent in some areas. Development of the site will
need to consider these grades and construct the building
accordingly.
j\wp\res\Lantis -1-
Roads: Primary access to the site will be from Three Mile
Drive with a secondary access from a private road that will be
constructed as part of this subdivision from Liberty Street.
Access to the site is adequate.
B. EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT:
Minimal impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat can be
anticipated as a result of this subdivision. The properties
lie on the urban fringes of Kalispell and it is anticipated
that this area will continue to experience significant growth.
C. EFFECTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT:
Potential erosion and storm water runoff could present
significant problems because of some of the slopes on the
site. The developer submitted preliminary engineering plans
during the conditional permit review process which designated
an on -site detention area in the Southwestern corner of the
property. This drainage plan will ultimately need to be
reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department
prior to construction. The drainage detention area is
important to avoid impacts to the adjoining property owners to
the South.
D. EFFECTS ON LOCAL SERVICES:
Sewer: Sewer service will be provided by the City of
Kalispell. The developer will have to extend the necessary
lines as required by the Kalispell Public Works Department.
There is adequate capacity with the Kalispell sewage treatment
system to accommodate the additional needs created by this
subdivision.
Water: The City of Kalispell will provide water service to
the lots in accordance with the design specification of the
City of Kalispell. Water hook-up fees will be assessed at the
time of connection. There is adequate capacity within the
Kalispell water system to accommodate this proposed
subdivision.
Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School
District #5 and elementary school aged children would attend
Russell School. Russell School has experienced intense growth
j\wp\res\Lantis - 2 -
pressures over the past several years because of the amount of
multi -family and single-family developments within its school
district boundaries. If these lots are developed with
personal care facilities as intended, there will be minimal
impact to the school. If, for some reason, these lots are not
developed as intended, but rather developed as multi -family
units, this would further strain Russell School's ability to
provide a quality educational environment for their students.
Parka: This subdivision is being treated as a minor
subdivision and therefore would not be subject to parkland
dedication requirements.
P_Qlice Prot ion: The site is served by the Kalispell Police
Department. There would be limited impacts on the Police
Department and adequate service will be able to provided.
Hire Protection: This property is served by the City of
Kalispell Fire Department. Minimal impacts to the Fire
Department can be anticipated as a result of this subdivision.
Refuse Disposal: Once the property is developed, the City
of Kalispell will provide solid waste disposal for the
residents. 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 two miles from the site. Kalispell ambulance
serves this area and access is good.
E. EFFECTS ON AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL WATER USERS
FACILITIES:
Residential development is anticipated in this area. No
impacts to agriculture or agricultural water users facility
are anticipated as a result of this subdivision.

KALISPELL, MONTANA AS FOLLOWS:
