Re: Preliminary Plat for Blue Heron Estates Phase 2A
Dear Jim:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on June 21, 2005 and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Charles and Mickey Lapp for preliminary plat approval that
converts four single family residential lots within the Blue Heron Estates subdivision
to four two -unit townhouse lots for a total of eight sublots on 1.018 acres. This
preliminary plat is a follow-up to the granting of a conditional use permit to convert
these single family lots to two -unit townhouse lots. The conditional use permit was
granted by the Kalispell City Council on April 4, 2005 after having gone before the
Kalispell Planning Board on March 8, 2005. The properties are located north of Three
Mile Drive and west of Stillwater Road.
Narda Wilson of the Kalispell Planning Department, presented staff report #KPP-05-8
evaluated the proposal. She noted this preliminary plat is a follow-up to the
conditional use permit that was previously granted by the city council and the
conditions are the same for both.
At the public hearing Charles Lapp spoke in favor of the proposal stating they have
been working on this project for about three years and are also working with the
developer to the east to develop a park. A neighbor to the north of the proposed lots
spoke in opposition stating she has concerns about privacy.
After the public hearing the board discussed the proposal and the street trees along
the roadway that would help to provide buffering, screening and privacy. A motion
was made which passed unanimously to recommend approval of the preliminary plat
to the Kalispell City Council subject to conditions.
Please schedule this matter for the July 18, 2005 regular Kalispell City Council
meeting. You may contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Kalispell Planning
Department if you have any questions regarding this matter.

E. Existing Land Use: This property is currently undeveloped and in part of the Blue
Heron Estates Subdivision that is currently under construction.
F. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The property lies in an area of Kalispell that has
experienced rapid growth and expansion because of the availability of municipal
water and sewer. There are several developing subdivisions in the immediate area
that are similar in size and housing type.
North: Single family residences in Blue Heron, City R-2 zoning
East: Search and Rescue building, County AG-80 West Valley Overlay
(WVO)
South: Undeveloped Bowser Creek Estates, City R-2 / PUD
West: Undeveloped Cottonwood Park, City R-3 zoning
G. General Land Use Character: This is an area in transition and it lies on the
western fringes of the city limits. It can be described generally as an area in
transition, from suburban residential to urban residential with several subdivisions
in the immediate area that are generally a mix of single family and two unit
tov,nhome lots similar in size to those being proposed.
H. Zoning: Blue Heron Subdivision was zoned R-2, Single Family Residential, at the
time it was annexed into the city and Blue Heron Estates was given preliminary plat
approval. The R-2 zoning designation has a minimum lot size requirement of 9,600
square feet and is generally limited to single family detached houses, except as
otherwise provided under the zoning ordinance, i.e. a conditional use permit for
townhouses or other non-residential uses listed in the district.

J. Growth Policy Plan Designation: The Kalispell City Growth Policy designates this
area as Suburban Residential and anticipates four dwelling units per acre. Blue
Heron Estates Phase 1 has a density of approximately three dwellings per acre. The
overall density of Blue Heron with the inclusion of the four additional townhouse
lots will be approximately 3.44 dwelling units per acre. This includes the initial 25
lots plus an additional 8 lots for a total. of 33 lots on 9.305 acres is 3.55 dwelling
units per acre. The proposal is in substantial compliance with the growth policy's
anticipated density and also furthers the goals and policies of the growth policy by
encouraging a diversity of housing options in the community.
COMMENTS FROM THE SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE
X
This matter carve before the Site Development Review Committee and there was general
support for the conversion to townhouses. No additional infrastructure or other
additional conditions were recommended as a result of the additional density being
added to the subdivision. It was noted that the lot near the entrance of the subdivision
was left as single family since the city council approved the conversion of four lots rather
than the five lots initially requested in the conditional use permit application. There was
also some discussion regarding the development of the park area to the east in
conjunction with the Cottonwood Park Subdivision recently approved.
REVIEW AND FINDINGS OF FACE'
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with statutory criteria
and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Fire: This subdivision would be in the service area of the Kalispell Fire Department.
The property can be considered to be a low risk of fire because the subdivision and
buildings within the subdivision would be constructed in accordance with the
International Building Code and have access which meets City standards. All of the
buildings and necessary improvements will be constructed to City standards. The
property does not have steep slopes or woody fuels. Hydrants will be required to be
placed in compliance with the requirements of the International Fire Code and
approved by the fire chief. The fire access and fire flows will need to be approved
by the fire department prior to combustible construction taking place.
Flooding: There are environmental constraints associated with the 100 year
floodplain that lies to the east of this site along the western boundary of Blue Heron
Estates subdivision. This area was previously designated as a park. A flood study
recently accepted by FEMA has delineated a flood area narrower than that which
was initially indicated on the flood maps for the area. The park to the east is in the
floodplain and also assists in stormwater management for the subdivision. This
area will be left in a natural state. With the floodplain issue aside, there are no
other significant environmental constraints associated with the property that would
need to be mitigated.
Access: Access to the lots is good with Blue Crest Drive being a new City street that
has been constructed to current City standards with curb, gutter, sidewalks,
boulevard and a paved 28 foot wide roadway. As part of this phase a new access
onto Three Mile Drive was developed with oversight from the Montana Department
of Transportation, the Flathead County Road Department and the City of Kalispell
Public Works Department. Pedestrian access needs to be developed along Three
Mile Drive either within the existing public right-of-way or within an easement along
existing Lots 1 and 25. Pedestrian access will need to be coordinated with the
Montana Department of Transportation. There are no other access issues which
need to be addressed as part of this permit.
3
B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: This property is generally level with a
very gentle slope to the west. Although there is floodplain to the west of the
subdivision., this property does not provide important wildlife habitat other than
perhaps some birds who would be attracted to the wetland / floodplain.
C. Effects on the Natural Environment:
Surface and groundwater: This subdivision will be served by public water and
sewer thereby minimizing any potential impacts to the groundwater. Spring Creek
drainages lies to the west and to the south which will not be impacted by this
development.
Drainage: This site is relatively level and does not pose any unusual challenges to
site drainage. A stormwater management plan has been developed for the
subdivision as part of the previous development of the Blue Heron Subdivision
Phases 1 and 2. Part of the retention area for the subdivision lies to the west in the
park area that is also in the 100 year floodplain. This was previously approved by
the City of Kalispell's Public Works Department.
D. Effects on Local Services:
Water and Sewer: Water and sewer service to the subdivision would be provided by
the City of Kalispell and service lines would be taken from existing mains that he in
Blue Crest Drive to the west of these lots. These lines were put in place as part of
the development of the Blue Heron Subdivision Phase 1. No new water or sewer
mains will be required by converting these lots from single family lots to two unit
townhouse lots. The hydrants in the subdivision have been reviewed and approved
by the City for placement, spacing and fire flows.
Roads: Overall there will be minimal additional impacts to the roads in the area as
a result of the addition of these four lots to the area. Access to the lots is onto Blue
Crest Drive, a new City street that was put in with Blue Heron Subdivision Phase 1.
This roadway accesses directly onto Three Mile Drive, a minor arterial in the City's
urban street system. There will be insignificant additional traffic generated onto
Three Mile Drive as a result of this subdivision.
Schools: This development is within the boundaries of West Valley School District
and Kalispell's School District 5. There will be minimal impacts to the school
districts with an anticipated 2 additional school aged children that might be added
to the district's enrollment as a result of this subdivision.
Parks and Open S ace: There are parkland dedication requirements associated
with major subdivisions in the amount of 11 percent of the area in lots. The area in
lots for Blue Heron Subdivision was not changed as a result of this subdivision.
Therefore, the parkland dedication requirements for these lots were previously met
in the Blue Heron Subdivision preliminary plat conditions of approval. There is a
park area that lies immediately to the north of these lots and an additional park
area that lies further to the north within the subdivision. Additionally, there is an
approximately 1.5 acre City park that lies to the east in Empire Estates subdivision.
4
Police: This subdivision is in the jurisdiction of the City of Kalispell Police
Department. The department can adequately provide service to this subdivision,
however the cumulative impacts of growth within the city further strains the
department's ability to continue to provide the high level of service the department
is conunitted to.
Fire Protection: Fire protection services are provided by the Kalispell Fire
Department, and the subdivision will need to meet the requirements of the
International Fire Code. Water mains will need to be designed to provide minimum
fire flows and installed per City specifications at approved locations. Infrastructure
shall be designed to meet the fire flow requirements of the International Fire Code
(2003) Appendix B, and fire hydrants delivering the required fire flow shall be
provided prior to combustible construction. Hydrants shall be installed in
accordance with City standards at locations approved by this department.
Additionally approved fire department access shall be provided to ensure adequate
vehicle ingress/egress. Street naming and addressing must be approved by the fire
department and the public works department.
Solid Waste: Solid waste will be handled by a private hauler and taken to the
Flathead County Landfill. There is sufficient capacity within the landfill to
accommodate this additional solid waste generated from this subdivision.
Medical Services: Ambulance service is available from the fire department and
ALERT helicopter service. Kalispell Regional Hospital is close, less than two miles
from the site.
E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural, water user facilities. The site has limited
use for agriculture. The land is efficiently and effectively being used for urban
residential development. Its location within the planning jurisdiction and its
proximity to urban services makes this appropriate for the type of development
being proposed. There will be no impact on agricultural uses within the Valley and
no impact on agricultural water user facilities since this property will be served by a
public water system.
F. Relation to the Kalispell Growth Policy: This property is in the Kalispell Growth
Policy potential utility service area and is anticipated to develop as Urban
Residential. This designation anticipates up to four dwelling units per acre. With
the addition of these four lots to the Blue Heron Subdivision it creates 33 lots on
approximately 9.305 acres resulting in an overall density of 3.55 dwellings per acre.
The proposed development is in compliance with the anticipated uses and
development of the growth policy.
G. Compliance with Zoning: This property has been zoned R-2, Single Family
Residential. The R-2 zoning designation has a minimum lot size requirement of
9,600 square feet and is generally limited to single family detached houses, except
as otherwise provided under the zoning ordinance, i.e. a conditional use permit for
townhouses or other non-residential uses listed in the district.
5
H. Compliance with the Subdivision Regulations: The proposed subdivision
complies with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations and the applicants are not
requesting any variances to the subdivision regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt staff report #KPP-05-8 as
findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat be
