Rpso1 » t i on 4362-Intent to Annex the Leased T,and for the Kalispell
Youth A hletic complex
This is the first step to annex the State Land that the City is
leasing for the Ballfield Complex. The State Lands Area Manager,
Jon Dahlberg, and City Manager Krepps submitted a request for
annexation of this property. The FRDO staff reviewed and
recommended approval of the request. The Planning Board approved
the annexation on a vote of 5-0.
Since this is State Land, the process for annexation is more
complicated. A Notice of Intent needs to be published and a Public
Hearing date set for this proposed annexation. The hearing date
should be set for the October 6, 1997 meeting.
Since this land is now the City's for use as an athletic complex,
the intent has always been to bring the land into the City Limits,
and the City has initiated the request for annexation. This will
begin the process of the annexation procedures. At the October 6
meeting Council will need to approve the resolution to annex the
property and a resolution to zone the land as P-1 (public) use.
Collins moved Resolution 4362, a resolution of intention to annex
certain real property to the City of Kalispell, said territory
being approximately 160 acres of the southeast quarter of Section
36, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana, to be described as Addition No. 283, to fix a date of
public hearing thereon, and to provide for due and proper notice of
said annexation. The motion was seconded.
With a roll call vote the motion carried with Atkinson, Collins,
Donahue, Graves, Haarr, Kennedy, Larson, Nystul and Rauthe voting
in favor.

Upon review of the proposed improvements, the FRDO staff report,
the minutes of the Planning Board, and being involved in Mr.
Herron's presentation to the Site Review Committee, Krepps

Board's actions to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Larson moved granting the conditional use permit to applicant
Dallas Herron, Herron Development for the legal description of land
development of the property described as Lots 2 through 6, Block
155 and Lots 7 through 12, Block 154 and Lots 14 and 15 in Section
7, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
