Re: Final Plat for Amended Plat of Lot 63, Buffalo Stage Phase II
Dear Clarence:
Our office has received the application for final plat approval of Amended Plat of Lot
63, Buffalo Stage Phase II, a two unit townhouse subdivision located on the
southwest corner of Buffalo Stage and Granrud Lane in Kalispell.
Preliminary plat approval was granted by the County Commissioners on May 7, 1997
subject to six conditions. Subsequent to this approval, Buffalo Stage Phase II was
annexed into the City of Kalispell and given an initial zoning of RA-1, a Low Density
Residential Apartment zoning district. The parent lot and sublots comply with the
development standards for that district.
The following is a list of the conditions of approval and a discussion of how they have
been met.
