The property owner will need to connect to city sewer and water, which are in the vicinity of the property. Service line extensions are required in order to serve the townhomes. The subject property is located at 117 Northwest Lane. The property can be legally described as Lot 25, Block 1 of Northwest Tracts in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.

AR?! r s +.r �..w ar..sai u ti LEGEND _L - _-- Figure 1: Site Plan Existing Land Use and Zoning: The property is developed with a single-family residence with large vacant area to the east. The property is located within the R-3 (Residential) land use zoning district. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance describes the intent of this district: "A district intended to provide lot areas for urban residential development. This district should have good thoroughfare access, and be in proximity to community and neighborhood facilities, i.e., schools, parks, shopping areas, etc. Development within this district must be served by all public utilities. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designed as suburban residential or urban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map." Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The existing zoning and land uses of the land surrounding the subject property are as follows: West: R-3, middle school sports fields North: R-3 and R-4, single-family homes and middle school East: R-3 and B-1, undeveloped land, single-family home and dentist office South: R-3, undeveloped land Relation to the Growth Policy: The subject property is within the Urban Residential land use category. The Growth Policy 2020 states that townhomes are an anticipated form of housing within the Urban Residential land use category where adequate services and facilities are available. Additionally, infill development is encouraged to lessen impacts on sensitive lands and provides additional housing opportunities where services are available. City services including, sewer, water and streets are in the vicinity and available to the subject property.

EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST This application has been reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A conditional use permit may be granted only if the proposal, as submitted, conforms to all of the following general conditional use permit criteria, as well as to all other applicable criteria that may be requested: 1. Site Suitability: 2 a. Adequate Useable Space: Lot 25 is 37,735 square feet in size and has flat topography. As part of the proposal, Lot 25 will be subdivided into two lots. Lot 1 will be 6,010 square feet in size and is where the existing single-family residence at 117 Northwest Lane is located. Lot 2 is proposed as a flag lot and will be 31,725 square feet and will include the four sublots for the proposed townhomes. Although flag lots are generally discouraged in most situations, flag lots are to be used in infill situations within developed areas. The minimum lot area required in the R-3 Zone is 6,000 square feet. Both lots are large enough to meet the applicable zoning standards for lot size, building setbacks and building height. b. Height, bulk and location of the building_ The structures are proposed to be 2-story with a building footprint of 1,200 square feet and total floor area of 2,400 square feet. Building height will not exceed the R-3 height restriction of 35' tall from bottom of finished floor to roof ridgeline. The structures will also meet the minimum required setbacks for development within the R-3 Zone. The R-3 Zone requirements give due consideration to the height, bulk and location of the proposed townhomes. C. Adequate Access: The townhomes will be gaining their access via a private drive that connects to Northwest Lane. Northwest Lane is an improved 28' wide City street. In the event four townhouses are constructed the private drive will be constructed to Local-3 standards. Local-3 standards require a 30' right-of-way, 20' paved surface and sidewalk on one side. In the event only two townhouses are constructed the private drive would be constructed to a Local-2 standard. Local-2 standards require a 20' right-of-way and a 10' travel surface. d. Environmental Constraints: There are no known environmental constraints, such as steep slopes, streams, floodplains, or wetlands, on the property which could affect the proposed use. 2. Appropriate Design: a. Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: Each townhome unit will have two off-street parking spaces as required by Chapter 27.24 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. b. Lighting_ Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor lighting on commercial or residential structures. C. Traffic Circulation: The townhouses will gain their access from a private drive that connects to Northwest Lane. Northwest Lane connects to a network of streets in the vicinity, providing adequate traffic circulation. Additionally, the private drive will be constructed to the applicable standard as provided in the subdivision regulations for the number of units being constructed. d. Open Space: The proposed townhouses will meet the setbacks required by the R-3 Zone, which provides for open spaces around the units. There is also a large portion of lot 2 to the east that will remain open space and be common area when the townhomes are platted. e. Fencing/Screenin Landscaping: There are existing mature trees surrounding the subject property. Fencing for the units will have to comply with Section 27.20.040 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. 3 f. Si�ize: There will be no signage associated with the townhomes. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed single-family use. b. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. There is adequate access to the property from the public road system and the townhouses will be constructed to meet current building and fire code standards for building and access. C. Water: City of Kalispell water infrastructure currently abuts the property on both the west and south ends. The water line to the west is within Northwest Lane and the line to the south is located within a utility easement that serves the dentist office on the property to the east. The developer will be required to pay the cost for additional service line connections for the additional units. d. Sewer: City of Kalispell sewer infrastructure is located within Northwest Lane. The developer will be required to pay the cost for additional service line connections for the additional units. e. Storm Water Drainage: Storm water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed per the City of Kalispell Construction and Design Standards. Prior to receiving a building permit the developer will need to submit a construction storm water management plan to the Public Works Department. This plan will need to show how storm water will be treated and where it will be directed during construction activities. f Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City of Kalispell. e. Streets: The proposed townhomes front Northwest Lane, which is an improved public street. Northwest Lane is not constructed to City Standards, as it was originally developed in the county; however, it is 28' wide and provides adequate access to the subject property. In the event four townhouses are constructed the private drive will be constructed to Local-3 standards as provided in the subdivision regulations. In the even that only two townhouses are constructed the private drive would be constructed to a Local-2 standards as provided in the subdivision regulations. g. Sidewalks: No sidewalks exist along Northwest Lane, as it was developed in the county originally; however, there is a rudimentary path on the east side of Northwest Lane that functions as a sidewalk/bike path. Montana Department of Transportation will be constructing a new bike path in this location within the next twelve months. Should the property develop with four townhomes the private drive would need to be constructed to a Local-3 standard, which requires a sidewalk on one side. h. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District #5. A very minor impact to the district may be anticipated from the proposed townhouses depending on the demographics of the residents. On average two students K-12 would be anticipated from four dwelling units. 4 i. Parks and Recreation: There should be no significant increase in demand on the parks and recreation programs and facilities as a result of this use. There is significant open space on site and immediately adjacent to the property are the middle school sports fields. 4. Neighborhood impacts: a. Traffic: Four townhomes will not have a significant impact on the traffic generated in the area. It is anticipated that each of the four residential units will produce approximately 9.57 trips ends/day (Per ITE trip generation model). The four units would generate approximately 38 trips per day. The width and quality of Northwest Lane is more than adequate to handle the additional traffic load. b. Noise and Vibration: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create any objectionable noise and vibration beyond what would normally be associated with a single- family residence. C. Dust, Glare, and Heat: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create any objectionable dust, glare, and heat beyond what would normally be associated with a single- family residence. d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create any objectionable smoke, fumes, gas, or odors beyond what would normally be associated with a single-family residence. e. Hours of Operation: Hours of operation does not apply to this project since it is for townhomes. If a home based occupation were to occur the residents would have to comply with the home based occupation section of the zoning ordinance, outlined in Section 27.20.060. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The subject property and surrounding properties were historically developed in the county as ranch homes and subsequently annexed into the city. This has created a situation where there is more rural type development adjacent to urban development. Being there are multiple property owners and multiple properties involved, a unified development plan for the area is unlikely. The property is large in comparison to most city developments, as the lot is just under an acre in size. More intensive urban developments have begun to spring up near the subject property, with commercial to the east and residential to the north. The newer residential development to the north consists of higher density single-family residences, including townhouses. The R-3 Zoning of the project site and the Urban Residential land use designation anticipates this kind of townhouse development. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the requested conditional use of the property. C. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-16-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following 5 conditions: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. That commencement of the approved activity must begin within 18 months from the date of authorization or that a continuous good faith effort is made to bring the project to completion. 2. A Final Plat Application will need to be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. If Lot 2 is developed with four townhouse units the private drive shall be developed to a Local-3 standard and meet the fire department turnaround requirements as provided in the Kalispell Subdivision regulations. If Lot 2 is developed with two townhouse units the private drive can be developed to a Local-2 standard. 4. Final designs for storm water management, water service, water meter placement, and sanitary sewer service for each townhouse that comply with Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction shall be submitted for review and approval by the City of Kalispell Public Works Department prior to construction. 5. Each townhouse unit is required to have individual sewer and water service line connections. The sewer and water service lines shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department prior to construction. City permits required for driveway and service connections within the public right-of-way shall be obtained prior to construction. 6. A letter from the Kalispell Public Works Department shall be submitted to the Kalispell Building Department stating that all new infrastructure has been accepted by the City of Kalispell. 0 KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MAY 10, 2016 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL The regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and CALL Zoning Commission was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Board members present were: Chad Graham, Charles Pesola, Rory Young, Steve Lorch, Doug Kauffinan, Ronalee Skees and Christopher Yerkes.

Dear Mr. Jentz: Please find attached an application for Conditional Use Permit in Kalispell, MT. It is my client's intent to construct four townhouse units in two separate buildings as shown on the attached Townhouse Plan drawing. The CUP application requires discussion of the following topics relative to the proposed use. a. Traffic flow and control: It is anticipated that each of the 8 residential units will produce approximately 9.57 trip ends/day. (Per ITE trip generation manual); for a total additional traffic generation of 77 trip ends per day. The adjacent roadway is Northwest Lane, which is a 28' wide paved roadway. The width and quality of the roadway is more than adequate to handle the additional traffic load. b. Access to and circulations within the Property: 'Traffic flow into and out of the development will be accommodated via one (1) new approach onto Northwest Lane at the west end of the flag pole of the proposed townhouse parent tract lot. The developer will apply for and obtain an approach permit prior to installing the access road. A 12' driveway will be constructed to access the townhouse lot as shown on the Townhouse plan drawing. Each unit will have a 10' wide driveway to access the garage to each unit as shown on the attached site plan. Each living unit will contain a single car garage, which meets City requirements for one off-street parking space per multiple -family living unit. c. Off-street parking and loadin : Northwest Lane is 28 feet wide and is not wide enough to support on -street parking. Delivery vehicles and moving trucks will have access to the units using the access driveway and utilizing the driveway that fronts each townhouse unit. A 20' long by 10' wide parking spot is included in from of the garage of each unit as can be seen on the site plan. d. Refuse and service area: Adequate space between the townhouse units is available for centralized sold waste containers. e. Utilities: City of Kalispell water infrastructure currently fronts the property on Northwest Lane. The townhouse units will be provided sewer and water service by tapping into the existing water and sewer mains and providing a service to each townhouse unit. Storm water detention will be provided onsite via either detention/retention ponds or subsurface Detention & infiltration facilities. Impervious area for entrance driveway and townhouse driveways is 3935 sq. ft. and the impervious area for the townhouse buildings is 4800 for a total of 8735 sq, ft. of developed area. f. Screeninu and buffering: Proposed landscape area and proposed tree planting are shown on the site plan. It is also proposed to protect the existing trees on the site for screening. The existing trees a mature in nature and will provide adequate screening of the property. There is an existing wire fence along the exterior boundary of the property. g. Signs, yards and other open areas: There are no signs proposed with this project; with the possible exception of temporary "FOR RENT" signage when a vacancy occurs. All areas of the site not covered in impervious surfacing will be seeded or soddded and planted as shown on the attached site plan. Existing trees on the site that do not need to be removed for construction shall be protected. h.
