OLD BUSINESS:
Town Pump (south) — 2950 Hwy 93 S; fuel island/canopy expansion. Parker stated that electrical
drawings were submitted so we may be able to finish this soon. Tabler is good with this project. This
will be on the agenda for next week.
Vision Clinic — 580 N Meridian; new medical office. Tabler is waiting for a resubmittal on this.
New Landscape Plans came in but Fincher is still reviewing them. This will be on the agenda for next
week.
Glacier Bank —180 Commons Loop; parking lot expansion. Public Works is still waiting for their
initial submittal from their engineer. Fincher also has a request out for Landscape Plans. Tabler has
had some correspondence with their engineer about storm sewer treatment. If they can demonstrate
that they are within the amount that was designed with the subdivision, then for flow control they can
just utilize the pond at the bottom of the hill. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Flathead Valley Oral Surgery — 60 Village Loop. This is located at Whitefish Stage and Village
Loop. They have divided the one existing parcel into two. Peterson is present for this project
discussion. Fincher stated they have updated their Landscape Plan and took out a flowerbed around a
sign that was an issue. Tabler stated he had a last minute request regarding stormwater. This was
passed through Site Review with the condition by Public Works on the stormwater.
School District 5 Projects — Peterson, Flathead High School, and Glacier High School; other
projects were passed through last week. They have submitted the agency exemption for all of these
projects except for Glacier, but have decided to opt into the Site Review process. The agency
exemption would not require them to go through a zoning review.
Glacier High School — 375 Wolfpack Way. Tabler is stilling waiting for their engineer to get back
with us on stormwater. Fincher is waiting for Landscape Plans. They are removing some of their
pork chop islands, which we approved, but they have to upgrade their other landscape islands to meet
the landscape ordinance. The engineer put it on the School District to come up with the drawings.
This will be on the agenda for next week.
Flathead High School — 644-4d' Ave W - addition. They submitted this project in two packages.
Comments have gone out to their engineer from Public Works on both packages. They will have
temporary closures on 5d' Ave W. Tabler is waiting for their engineer to get back to him on his first
round of comments. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Peterson Elementary School—1119-2nd St W. They will be adding a gym space to the east of the
building over the grass. Their engineer will get back to Tabler as far as what their solution will be for
stormwater. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Rockwood Ranch PUD — A big project at the southeast corner of Three Mile and West Springcreek.
Their application to annex 90 acres into the City with a PUD went through the Planning Board.
Phase I will have 48 units in the middle of the project. This will be going before City Council on May
7d' and Nygren is meeting with the Aspen Knoll HOA on Thursday evening.
Meadows Edge PUD — for 110 acres northwest of Rockwood. Nygren is working with Public
Works on their PUD. He has been trying to meet with Bruce Lutz on the parkland because there is a
lot of open space but not really parkland in this subdivision. The open space will have a lot of storm
water. Fincher noted that open space is for the benefit of the property owners there, but it doesn't do
anything toward a parkland dedication to meet Parks requirements.
OTHER REPORTS:
Crossings at Spring Creek — 324 units on Two Mile Drive. Tabler met with the engineer. We
should probably be seeing something on that in the next month.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:14 a.m.
