Wilson, Senior Planner Jaynes H. Patrick, City Manager SUBJECT Lone Pine Subdivision - Request for Annexation and Initial Zoning Designation of R-2 / PUD MEETING DATE: April 4, 2005 BACKGROUND: This is a request by Lone Pine Development, LLC for annexation and an initial zoning designation of R-2, Single Family Residential, with a Planned Unit Development overlay on approximately 23.16 acres. Filed concurrently with the annexation and initial zoning designation is a request for preliminary plat approval of Lone Pine Subdivision. The property is located south of Foys Lake Road and west of Valley View Drive at the base of Lone Pine State Park. It is the intent of this PUD to allow a mix of housing types within the subdivision. The 81 lot residential subdivision includes 25 detached single family lots, and 56 two unit townhouse lots along with an approximately 6.84 acre open space area. It is anticipated that the subdivision will be developed in two phases. The PUD zoning overlay provides a mechanism for the developer to gain flexibility in lot sizes, housing types and site configuration that would not otherwise be allowed under the traditional R-2 zoning designation. The Kalispell City Planning Board met on March 8, 2005 and held a public hearing to consider this proposal. At the public hearing, there were several neighbors from the area that spoke in opposition to the subdivision primarily because of the density and impacts on neighborhood character. They also cited concerns relating to an increase in traffic and 'impacts to the floodplain and riparian corridor running through the property. The planning board discussed the request and issues related to the transitional nature of the area. They discussed the area of the 100 year floodplain, access to the property via Valley View Drive, secondary access and a landscape buffer between the existing neighborhood to the north and the subdivision. A motion was made and passed on a unanimous vote to forward a recommendation that the Kalispell City Council assign a zoning designation of R-2 / PUD to the property upon annexation subject to the recommended conditions of approval. RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the resolution annexing the property and the first reading for the zoning and PUD overlay subject to conditions would be in order.

Patrick, City Manager City of Kalispell P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 Lone Pine Subdivision - Annexation and Initial Zoning Designation of R-2 with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay Dear Jim: The Kalispell City Planning Board met on March 8, 2005 and held a public hearing to consider a request by Lone fine Development LLC for an initial zoning designation of R-2/PUD, Single Family Residential, with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay upon annexation into the city. The property proposed for annexation is located south of Foys Lake Road and west of Valley View Drive at the base of Lone Pine State Park. The property contains approximately 23 acres. In conjunction with the annexation and proposed PUD zoning designation, an 81 lot subdivision for the property has been submitted. The subdivision contains 25 detached single family lots and 56 two family residential lots along with an approximately 6.84 acre open space area. This property is currently in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential, a district that has a one acre minimum lot size requirement. Narda Wilson, of the Tri-City Planning Office, presented staff reports KA-05-3 and KPUD-05-1 evaluating the proposal. She noted that the PUD allowed the developer some flexibility with the creation of the two unit townhouses, setbacks on the buildings and the creation of smaller lots than would be allowed under the traditional R-2 zoning. She noted the zoning also allowed the creation of some internal driveways that access the townhouse lots rather than orienting the homes along the street. Staff recommended approval of the proposed R-2 / PUD zoning upon annexation to the city subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. During the public hearing the applicant explained his proposal and attempts to try to create a different kind of development by creating the open space, reorienting the townhouses and creating pedestrian walkways. They noted the creek and the floodplain area were part of the open space. Several of the neighbors from the area spoke in opposition to the proposal citing concerns about impacts to the character of the neighborhood, degradation of the creek area and additional traffic generated into the neighborhood. The board discussed the proposal and considered the testimony. A motion was made and passed unanimously to recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the property be zoned R-2/PUD, Single Family Residential, upon annexation subject to conditions.

A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell City Planning Board for March 8, 2005 beginning at 7:00 PM, to consider appropriate zoning for the property to be annexed. The planning board will forward a recommendation for appropriate zoning to the Kalispell City Council for consideration.

Petitioner / Owner: Lone Pine Development, LLC 144 East Second St. Whitefish, MT 59937 (406) 862-8561 Technical Assistance: Schwarz Architecture & Engineering 100 Financial Dr., Suite 120 Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 755-1333 B. Nature of the Request: This is a request for an initial zoning designation of R-2, Single Family Residential, with a Planned Unit Development overlay on approximately 23.16 acres. The property is located south of Foys Lake Road and west of Valley View Drive. Currently this property is in the County zoning jurisdiction and has a zoning designation of R-1 a Suburban Residential zoning designation that has a minimum lot size requirement of one acre. It is the intent of this PUD to allow a mix of housing types that include 25 detached single family lots, and 56 townhouse lots. It is anticipated that the subdivision will be developed in two phases with the first phase of the development occurring on the eastern portion of the site. The PUD overlay provides a mechanism for the developer to gain flexibility in lot sizes, housing types and site configuration that would not otherwise be allowed under a strict R--2 zoning designation. The R-2 zoning has a minimum lot size requirement of 9,600 square feet and a minimum lot width of 70 feet. With a PUD overlay, the dimensional requirements, setbacks and housing types can be amended but without a significant increase in the overall density for the site. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of five dwelling units per acre under the R-2 zoning designation with a PUD overlay. This subdivision contains approximately 23.16 acres with a total 81 lots or approximately 3.5 dwellings per acre. The first phase of the development would be comprised of six two unit townhouses or 12 townhouse lots and 10 detached single family lots. The second phase would consist of the remaining 44 townhouses and 15 single family lots. As phasing occurs a provision would need to be made for fire access. The subdivision layout includes an internal loop road that provides two cul-de-sacs along the southern road that terminate to the north. Primary access to the subdivision will be taken from Valley View Drive via property that has been acquired by the developers to the subdivision. A common area is located near the center of the subdivision that is essentially within a non -delineated 100 year floodplain area. This unnamed drainage runs east -west through the property and creates a significant floodplain area within the site. A small creek lies in the floodplain area. The developers are proposing an approximately 6.835 acre open space area that would be privately owned and maintained by the homeowners. This area of the 100 year floodplain is in a non - detailed study area and the base flood elevation has not been. established. The developers have not submitted an analysis to FEMA to delineate the actual base flood elevation which will be evaluated. The developers are aware no structures or lots can be created or located in the 100 year floodplain. However, a preliminary study of the area to the east of this site has been conducted which may indicate that this area is out of the floodplain. The developers will need to either submit a request for a LOMA, a letter of map amendment, to FEMA to determine that this area is out of the floodplain or to do an analysis to determine what area, if any is in the 100 year floodplain. C. Location, and Legal Description. of Property: The property proposed for annexation and the initial zoning request is located south of Foys Lake Road and west of Valley Vieux Drive. The property can be described as Assessors Tracts 3FE+, 3FED, 3FEB, 3FEC, 3FEA, 3FEF, 3FEE, 3HAA, 3HA located in Section 13, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, .Montana. D. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The property proposed for the PUD is undeveloped. Currently this property is in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R- 1, Suburban Residential, a single family residential zoning district which has a minimum lot size requirement of one acre. This property has been part of the West Side Zoning District for many years and has experienced slow incremental growth in this area. There are significant issues with high groundwater and there are difficulties in developing an adequate on -site sewage treatment system at reasonable costs. E. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: This property is located in an area on the urban fringes of Kalispell. Some limited suburban growth has taken place recently but there are soil limitations related to high groundwater and filtration. North: Single family homes, County R-1 zoning South: Lone Pine State Park, County SAG-5 zoning East: Single family homes, County R-1 zoning West: Single Family Homes, County R-1 zoning F. Proposed Zoning: The proposed R-2, Single Family Residential zone lists single- family residences as permitted uses and has a minimum lot size requirement of 9,600 square feet and a width of 70 feet. The applicant is requesting a PUD that would allow the creation of attached sublots in a two unit townhouse configuration as well as single-family homes. The PUD mechanism provides the flexibility in housing types and the shafting of density to the attached dwellings on smaller lots. G. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of this area can be described as suburban residential with some transitioning toward residential uses with city annexation and services further to the southeast. This area can also be described as being on the urban fringes of Kalispell and there have been some limited development pressures in the area. H. Utilities and Public Services: All available public services and facilities will be provided to these properties at the same level of service as other properties similarly situated in the city limits.

Relation to Zoning Requirements: The applicants are proposing annexation and an initial zoning designation of R-2 with a PUD overlay. The R-2 zoning district has a minimum lot size requirement of one dwelling unit per 9,600 square feet or approximately 4.5 dwelling units per acre. With a PUD overlay the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Section 27.21.030(4), allows a maximum of five dwelling units per acre. This property contains a total of approximately 23 acres. The developer has proposed the creation of 25 single-family lots and 56 townhouses in a two unit configuration as well as an open space / park area. The overall density of the Lone Pine Subdivision Planned Unit Development based on 23 acres would be approximately 3.5 dwelling units per acre, below that which would be allowed under either the PUD provisions or the traditional R-2 zoning district. The deviation froze. the R-2 zoning requirements, which is generally considered a single family residential zoning district, is that this development will have a mix of lot sizes and housing types, i.e. the two unit townhouses. For instance, the PUD mechanism allows the creation of individual lots under the required 9,600 square feet and would also allow attached dwellings that would be created with the townhouse configuration. Essentially this would result in a variation to the setback requirements, thereby allowing a zero setback between dwelling units and a five foot setback on the side yards. EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-205, M.C.A. Findings of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-203, M.C.A. I. Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy? The property is designated by the Kalispell Growth Policy future land use map as "Suburban Residential" which anticipates residential development with a density of up to four dwelling units per acre. Because of the provision of public water and sewer to the site, the proposed R-2 zoning designation is in compliance with the future land use designation for the area. The R-2 zoning has a minimum lot size requirement of 9,600 square feet. The proposed zoning and associated PUD is in compliance with the anticipated densities and residential use of the land in this area which anticipates single-family dwellings in suburban residential areas. 2, is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in the streets? Once the property is developed, all of the new development and infrastructure will be constructed to City standards. Density and traffic in the area will increase. The increased density will allow for more efficient provision of public services, including roads. By increasing the density, the future population of this site will be closer to public facilities. Vehicle trips become shorter, resulting in fewer miles driven. Also, some residents may choose to walk or ride bicycles at least some of the time, further reducing vehicle congestion. 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from firepanic, and other dangers? Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in the case of an emergency. There are no features related to the property which would compromise the safety of the public provided that a detailed flood plain study is completed, all structures are located out of the floodplairn areas and all appropriate permitting is adhered to. New construction will be required to be in compliance with the building safety codes of the City which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal services including police and fire protection (including hydrants), water and sewer service is available to the area and will be extended as part of the development of this property. 4. Will the requested zone promote the health and general welfare? The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general welfare by restricting land uses to those that would be compatible with the adjoining properties and providing a place for new housing in the community. 5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light. and air? Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring on this site are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to insure adequate light and air is provided. 4 b. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of lan.cl? This area is designated as being within the Kalispell Potential Utility Service Boundary in the Kalispell Growth Policy and is anticipated for urban residential development. Now that public water and sewer are in close proximity, an R-2 zoning designation is appropriate. The anticipated density fails within the proposed R-2 zoning designation. Ail public services and facilities will be available to serve this subdivision. Currently this property is in the County jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential, but they do not have access to public sewer and water without annexation. 7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration_ of people? The allowable density for this property will change as a result of annexation.. Minimum lot standards and use standards as well as subdivision development standards will avoid the undue concentration of people at the time the property is developed. 8. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewera e schools arks and other ublic requirements? All public services and facilities are currently available or can be provided to the property. Development should be encouraged in areas where these services are available. 9. Does the requested zone give consideration to the articular suitability of the property for particular uses? The proposed R-2 zoning district is consistent with the surrounding zoning and land uses in the area and gives due consideration of the suitability of this property for the permitted uses in the district. 10. Does the re uested zone give.. reasonable consideration to the character of the district? The general character of the area is moving toward urban sized lots for residential development on City sewer. The same type and density of development can be anticipated to occur on this property that is in the area and will be consistent with the character of the neighborhood. 11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? Values of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the R-2 zoning will promote compatible uses on this property, compared with other properties in the area. 12. Will the requested zone encourage the most aPpropriate use of the land throughout the munici ali ? Urban scale residential development should be encouraged in areas were services and facilities are available such as is being proposed on this parcel. The proposed zoning is consistent with the future land use designations for the area and surrounding zoning in the area. EVALUATION OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL: Project Narrative: This is a request for an initial zoning designation. of R-2, Single Family Residential, with a Planned Unit Development overlay on approximately 23 acres. The property is located south of Foys Lake Road, east of Learn Lane and west of Valley View Drive at the base of Lone Pine State Park. Although the property is a conglomeration of several parcels that were likely a result of occasional sales in the past, no development has taken place on the site. The primary access is indicated off of Valley View Drive through property that was acquired by the developers for the purposes of accessing the site. The property is currently in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential which is a single family residential zoning district that has a one acre square foot minimum lot size requirement. It is the intention of the developer to create 81 dwelling units that include 25 single family lots and 56 sublots in a two unit townhouse configuration. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum density of five dwelling units per acre with a PUD in an R-2 district. As proposed the PUD would have 81 dwelling units on 23 acres or a density of 3.50 dwelling units per acre. The development of the subdivision would occur in two phases with the first phase being located at the eastern one third of the site and accessed via Valley View Drive. Each of the phases is intended to comply with the City of Kalispell's requirements for fire access and turnaround areas including the provision of emergency fire access if required. Secondary access will have to be addressed during the first phase of the development because of the distance to the site from Valley View Drive. There is a significant amount of the property that is designated as being within the 100 year floodplain since an unnamed creek and high groundwater runs through the property. The creek is generally a year round crater course. The developer is aware that a detailed floodplain study will need to be accepted by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) in order to determine the base flood elevation because this is in a non -detailed study area and the actual flood elevation is unknown, but can only be estimated. An approximately 6.5-acre area is indicated on the plat to serve as a homeowners park, storm water retention area and open space area. This area is within the 100 year floodplain and provides a natural amenity to the subdivision. The park and open space area would be owned and maintained by the homeowners association and would not be available for use by the general public. 6 Criteria for the Creation of a Planned Unit Develoument (PUD) District The following information and evaluation criteria are from Section. 27.21.020(2), of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The intent of the planned unit development provisions are to provide a zoning district classification which allows some flexibility in the zoning regulations and the mixing of uses which is balanced with the goal of preserving and enhancing the integrity of the neighborhood and the environmental values of an area. The zoning ordinance has a provision for the creation of a PUD district upon annexation of the property into the city. Review of Application Based Upon PUD Evaluation Criteria: The zoning regulations provide, that the planning board shall review the PUD application and plan based on the following criteria: 1. The extent to which the plan departs from zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the subject property, including, but not limited to, density, bulk and use, and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public interest; The planned unit development deviates from the zoning with regard to the housing types that would be anticipated in the development which would be primarily attached single family residential. Essentially this will result in a zero lot line setback between the units. Additionally there may be a deviation from the minimum lot size requirement of 9,600 square feet of the R-2 zoning district as well as the minimum lot widths of 70 feet primarily to accommodate the anticipated variety of housing types within the development. Setbacks are proposed to be at five feet rather than the required 10 feet under the R-2 zoning. In order to achieve this density determination, the area within the 100 year floodplain that would be developed as a homeowners park, open space area and storm water retention area has been included in the calculation. There is nothing in the zoning ordinance that prohibits the use of the floodplain and steep slope areas within a parcel in calculating allowable density within a site. The zero lot line setbacks for the townhouses are a deviation from the zoning ordinance as are the interior, private access roads to the townhouses. There are materials in the application including elevation drawing, architectural renderings and the proposed covenants, conditions and restrictions that would dictate the review and approval of new development in the subdivision and provides a guarantee of architectural integrity and compatibility. 2. The nature and extent of the common open space in the planned development project, the reliability of the proposals for maintenance and conservation of the common open space and the adequacy or inadequacy of the amount and function of the opera space in terms of the land use, densities and dwelling types proposed in the plan; Open space is defined in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance as "Any part of a lot unobstructed from the ground upward. Any area used for parking or maneuvering of automotive vehicles or storage of equipment or refuse shall not be deemed open space." However, on a practical basis open space is much more than simply the 7 undeveloped land around a building that could mean the setback areas. A park area is indicated on the preliminary plat that would be developed as a homeowners park, storm water retention area and general open space, most of which is in the 100 year floodplain and would be otherwise unbuildable. The developer will be responsible for developing amenities within the park and open space areas including walking paths, picnic area and other appropriate amenities and then a homeowners association would be responsible for the maintenance of the common area and open space once the subdivision is developed. Covenants, conditions and restrictions will be required to be submitted with the final plat that addresses the conservation and maintenance of the park and open space areas. If properly developed and maintained it appears that the proposed park and open space areas will provide adequate useable park and open space area for the subdivision with easy access by the residents. 3. The manner in which said plan does or does not make adequate provision for pudic services, provide adequate control over vehicular traffic and further the amenities of light or air, recreation and visual enjoyment; The extension of public water and sewer to the site will be required to serve the subdivision. Most of the public utilities will come from the north and be extended within the Foys Lake Road right-of-way and Valley View Drive right-of-way. The developer will be required to develop the utilities in accordance with the Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. Additionally, the new roadways to be constructed within the subdivision indicated on the overall development plan Will be constructed to City standards. The internal roadway providing primary access will connect to a proposed public street to the east, Valley View Drive, and a secondary access will need to be provided probably to the west to Learn Lane, a paved. County road. There are two phases proposed for the subdivision with the first development phase being located to the east and the development of an intersection. at Valley View Drive and the new internal road that will access the subdivision. It appears that secondary emergency access will need to be provided during the first phase of development because of the length of the roadway, i.e. it exceeds 600 feet. The second phase of the PUD is to the west and this involves the final building out that comprises approximately two thirds of the subdivision. At some point there will need to be a crossing over the creek and floodplain in order to build the internal road network. In order to develop a crossing over the creek the developer will be required to obtain a floodplain development permit from the City of Kalispell and a 310 permit from the Flathead Conservation District. The design and nature with regard to housing types and lot sizes are a mix of single family and townhouses in a two unit configuration. Specific elements of the architecture have been submitted with the PUD application that indicates a shared internal driveway to access essentially four townhouses that will face each other. This alternative allows some flexibility in siting the buildings and also avoids the typical garage, garage, garage that faces the street. Storm water management will be required to be handled and retained on site and a portion of an area indicated as the 100 year floodplain could assist in accommodating stormwater management issues. This is a natural low lying area that appears that it could be a part of a perennial creek and high groundwater that is ubiquitous in the area. No detailed plan for handling drainage has been submitted with the application and would not be required at this time, but as the project develops an engineered 8 drainage plan will need to be designed in accordance with City standards and will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. Parkland dedication is proposed to be addressed through the dedication of a private park area within the 100 year floodplain near and around the creek and low lying area that exists on site. There is no real significant vegetation that warrants preservation or special consideration.. Landscaping this area will help create a more park like environment and would be part of the landscaping and park development plan that will be required with the subdivision. The park area will need to be developed with recreational amenities that keep them well maintained and functional. Passive open space will be part of the park amenities and will need to be conserved and adequately maintained in a weed free state. Actual park areas will be developed with walking paths, irrigation, landscaping and recreational amenities. 4. The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the planned development project upon the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be established; The overall design of the PUD and future development for this subdivision has created a mix of housing types and an integrated park and open space component. As proposed it appears to be a well -integrated design with the exception of assumptions being made about the location of the 100 year floodplain and the location of homes within those areas. Additionally secondary access has not been reasonably addressed but will be required as part of the phase 1 development. The provision and extension of public utilities to the subdivision will create an area in transition that has been gradual in the past. Within the area to the east there have been several urban scale subdivisions but in this immediate neighborhood growth has previously been dominated suburban residential growth on one and two acre parcels. However, problems with high groundwater and poor soils have made this type of development difficult. The urban densities such as those being proposed are more in keeping with the type of development anticipated in the area because of the close proximity of the area to City utilities. The density being proposed is necessary to make the subdivision economically feasible. The cost of rural land along with the extension of utilities and development of urban infrastructure require densities such as those being proposed. Without urban densities the costs per lot create housing that is affordable only to a few elite and not to the median or even above income levels. Even at this density, reasonably priced lots are difficult to achieve. Benefits to the public primarily relates to providing housing stock in a safe and healthy environment. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the type and density of development that would be anticipated for this area. The staff is recommending some screening and to buffer the residences to the north from the rather high density housing being proposed with the townhouses along this portion of the subdivision. Additionally, neighbors to the north have specifically requested this treatment to avoid encroachment of loose dogs and disturbance to their livestock. S. In the case of a plan which proposes development over a period of years, the sufficiency of the terms and conditions proposed to protect and maintain the integrity of the plan which finding shall be made only after consultation with the city attorney; With the current rate and growth of development, build out could take place in a matter of years, depending on the market conditions. With past PUD proposals the 9 City of Kalispell has been entering into a development agreement with the developer that has adequately insured and maintained the overall integrity of the development, the installation of required infrastructure, architectural integrity and proposed amenities as well as the impacts the development may have on adjoining properties. 6. Conformity with all applicable provisions of this chapter. No other specific deviations from the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance can be identified based upon the information submitted with the application other than those addressed in the beginning of this report. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report KA-05-03 / KPUD-05-1 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the property be zoned R-2 / PUD upon and annexation and be subject to the following conditions: 1.

NW REPORTS \KALISPELL\KA05-3/KPUD05-! .DOC 12 DESIGN January 2005--Issue i � � DESIGN MEMORANDUM LONE PINE ESTATES PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND LONE PINE ESTATES is located in a residential area approximately 1/2 mile south west of the intersection of Foys Lake Road and 71h Avenue West in Kalispell, Montana. The property is owned by: Tom Watters & Jan Wassink LONE PINE DEVELOPMENT, LLC 144 EAST SECOND STREET WHITEFISH, MT 59937 TEL. 406-862-8561 Technical services for the preparation of this Design Memorandum and preliminary plat application are being provided by. - Schwarz Architecture & Engineering, Inc. 100 Financial Drive, Suite120 Kalispell, MT 59901 406.755.1333 The vision for Lone Pine Estates is to create a planned community and incorporate it into the existing Kalispell urban community. Lone Pine Estates is a planned mixture of 28 townhouse units, and 25 single-family residential dwellings (a copy of the preliminary plat is included in Appendix A). The development is intended to provide for community open space. The existing properties to the northeast and west of the property are well - established single-family dwellings. The properties represent suburban densities and are currently served by on -site wastewater systems. The property located immediately to the south is Lone Pine State Park. LAND USE PLAN The property is currently zoned with a R-1 one family residential zoning designation. This zoning district requires a minimum lot area of 1 acre and a minimum lot width of 150 feet. A PUD in an R-1 zoning district would allow three dwelling units/acre or 69 lots. While this zoning designation may present a similar density to surrounding uses, it does not take advantage of the inherent open space and natural characteristics of the property. This is why the Manned Unit Development (PUD) designation is being sought for the property. The PUD submittal allows for much greater flexibility in the lot size, usage designation, setbacks, and other development characteristics within the property. Furthermore, the PUD process allows for a density bonus in consideration of reserving a substantial area of open space within the property. With a R-2 zoning designation, the PUD submittal will allow for a maximum density of 5 dwelling units per gross area, or 115 dwelling units within the subdivision. The Lone Pine Estates submittal only reflects approximately 70% of the allowable density under the PUD zoning designation. Moreover, the PUD zoning designation takes advantage of the unique features of the property. Approximately 30% of the area of the subdivision has been designated as open space in which no private buildings, fences, or other similar construction will occur. In this manner, rural characteristics in the property are maintained while still providing greater density and efficient use of available real estate close to the Kalispell urban core. Lots within the subdivision have been laid out such that approximately 75% of the lots adjoin expanses of open space. By locating the lots next to the open space, higher densities can be achieved while maintaining an expansive feel within the planned community. STREET SYSTEM The street system within the development contains a single loop road that extends through the subdivision intersecting Valley View Drive. The street system has been designed to establish a vehicular corridor through the development. The street system will be constructed of a 28-foot wide paved surface with a 2- foot wide curbing and gutter on each side creating a 32-foot back -of -curb to back -of -curb traveling surface. The street system will cross two low-lying areas in the open space. In these areas, culverts will be designed and constructed to enable continued water passage underneath the road. The street systems or vehicular corridors have been designed to minimize pedestrian movement and passage on the street system. Setbacks from the public right-of-way have been limited to encourage placement of garages and parking areas near the streets. Placement of the garages and structures near the streets preserves the open space character and encourages greater usage in pedestrian movement within the open space. Additionally, by reducing the setback distance of structures from the public right-of-way, the perceived width of the vehicular corridor is reduced, thereby maintaining lower residential speed values. it fs intended that the road corridors will be treed with native vegetation outside the traveled surface to further maintain an open feel within the development. Design Memorandum -- Lone Pine Estaies PUD 01131/05 Prepared by Schwarz Architecture &: Engineering, Inc. Page 2 of 4 PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT SYSTEM Pedestrian movement within the development has been designed using sidewalks within the development. Again, by creating a development in which the core focus in on the interior open space, the porches, decks, and other pedestrian access to the structures and what would normally be referred as the front of the house will be accessed through the pedestrian paths in the open space. By encouraging the use of pedestrian movement out in the open space and discouraging pedestrian access to the vehicular corridors, the development creates a pedestrian community wherein neighbors can access and visit other neighbors through the open space. This furthermore reduces the vehicular/pedestrian conflict. OPEN SPACE PLAN The open space within the subdivision has been designated around natural low areas. By placing these spaces in an open space designation, they can be preserved and maintained for use by the entire community. it is intended the open space will be maintained and managed as a natural system. All open space designated as community open space will be owned by the Homeowner's Association and maintained by the same body. The individual lot owners will maintain the private open space areas and covenants will require the open space to be maintained within a similar scheme as the community open space.

UTILITIES PLAN Utility services for the Lone Pine Estates development will be provided by extensions to the existing public systems located within the city of Kalispell. Water and wastewater services will be provided by an extension to the municipal systems owned by the city of Kalispell (preliminary water & sewer plans are included in Appendix C). Natural gas will be provided to the site by extension of the existing system owned and operated by Northwest Energy. Electrical services to the site will be provided by extension to those facilities owned and operated by the Flathead Electric Cooperative. Telephone service to the site will be provided by CenturyTel. The expansion of the water system will include an 8-inch diameter loop through the subdivision. The 8-inch diameter water main will be connected to the existing city owned water rnain on Th Avenue.

Stormwater management for the developed Lone Pine Estates will include conveyance of new and increased stormwa ter, loads through the concrete gutter located at the edge of the proposed road network. The gutter and stormwater collection system will convey stormwater to the community open spaces where the stormwater will be detained and allowed to filter into the existing drainage. SUMMARY The Lone Pine Estates subdivision creates a development that will be unique to the city of Kalispell. Large expanses of community open space will be the focus of the development. Future homeowners within the development will be encouraged to access, view, and enjoy the open nature of the development. These otherwise characteristics will be enjoyed with a near proximity to city parks, Kalispelf schools, municipal government, the Kaffspeli Library, commercial shopping, and other similar features typically associated with urban living. The high quality development will maintain property values within the development and the surrounding areas.

The DRB's objective is to encourage good stewardship of the land and sensitive architectural expression that reflects high quality and attention to detail. The DRB is responsible for reviewing and approving all development within LONE PINE ESTATES; from concept to completion. This includes, but is not limited to: • All new building & site development. • Any proposed revisions to previously approved plans, prior to or during construction. • Any renovation, expansion or refinishing of the exterior of a new structure. • Any proposed revisions to building envelopes. The DRB process has been designed to encourage dialogue with owners and their design team early in the evolution of their plans. The process is intended to be constructive, not adversarial or unnecessarily restrictive. As owner, you shah ensure your development team complies with the following general requirements and Design Review Process; to assure LONE PINE ESTATES of your commitment to respecting the community within which you are building. • Design, by a qualified architect or residential designer, with engineering input (geotechnical, structural, mechanical, civil...) and landscape architecture as required, is to respect the design framework. Use of residential designer shall be subject to approval by the DRB. A Design Coordination/review process has been established to enable the Owner/Builder to work with, and understand the intent of the Design Guidelines. This process includes: • Pre -Design Meeting (optional); • Conceptual Development Plan Submission/Review; • Concept Endorsement/DRB Approval (letter); • Detail Design Final Submission/Review; • Endorsement/DRB Approval (letter) for Building Permit Application, • Final Inspection - Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) Lone Pine Estates 113112005 Design Guidelines, Cbnd: cons, Covenants and Restrictions Aage.5 ofl8 This process is outlined in more detail as follows: 5.1.0 Design Coordination/Review Process 5.1.1 Preliminary Consultation (as required to confirm the process and tentative schedule) 5.1.2 Submit the Design Review Registration Form to initiate the design review process: This includes submission of the plan check/application tee, as part of the Design Review Registration Form, with a copy of the Registered Title. The amount to be determined by the DRB, shall be used as a deposit for payment to the DRB technical advisor, other related expenses of the DRB, and a landscaping deposit. Additional fees may be necessary depending upon review time, complexity, etc. This amount, plus any additional reasonable amounts, may also be spent to remedy any non- compliance with these Design Guidelines. Monies will be returned, less an administration fee, technical advisory fees, and landscaping deposit for purpose of the Design Review process, at the completion of your construction provided you have complied with these Design Guidelines. 5.1.3 Prepare a site survey, based upon conceptual information provided by LONE PINE ESTATES, including a lot location/building envelope (BE) plan (in relation to the subdivision plan) and a grade slip. Particular site -specific development issues for your consideration will be clearly mapped on this BE plan. These may include, but are not limited to: the designated natural area(s), suggested access locations(s), existing contours, natural features, significant trees, irrigation limits as well as existing and proposed deep and shallow utilities. The accurate site survey data, prepared by a land surveyor registered in the State of Montana will confirm existing site and legal conditions and is to be used as the base plan for conceptual and detail design. It can be directly applied to a subsequent survey Plot Plan (PP) and the Real Property Report (RPR). 5.1.4 A familiarization Pre -Design Meeting is suggested on site to review the site factors mapped relative to the actual site conditions. For this meeting, it is suggested that you prepare preliminary development Concept Sketches. This will enable the review of initial ideas relative to the actual site conditions. Review at this stage of the design process typically confirms that the proposed development will comply with the particular site criteria and helps direct the final concept and detail design efforts. 5.2 Conceptual Development Plan Review is required to confirm the design incorporates all site requirements relative to the lot location/building envelope plan. It will assist to clarify the intent & application of the Design Guidelines, review/approval process, development procedures and Lone Pine Estates 1l311200 Design Guidelines, Conditions. Covenants and Restrictions Page 6) of M scheduling. The Owner/Architect is suggested to provide preliminary lot development concepts relative to: • The overall Subdivision Plan • Grade/drainage patterns • Existing vegetation (tree, shrub & ground cover) • Aspect/orientation - wind exposure; viewing opportunities • Unique features - opportunities or constraints The DRB will provide a letter of endorsement to proceed 5.3 Final Design - Submit 3 Sets of Construction Drawings & Support Documentation, including but not limited to: • Plot Plan (Survey) (I "=20'-0"); • Site Plan • Roof Plan and Floor Plans (no less than 1 /8"=l'-0"); • Exterior Elevations (4 Min. @ no less than • Sections (@ no less than 1/8"=1'-O") through site & building from side PL to side PL and from rear PL to front road CL (2 Min.); • Landscape Plan (@ no less than 1 /8"=1 '-0") including natural preservation/protection areas, site grading/contours; retaining wali locationsfs), materials) and section(s); proposed planting and landscape restoration plan and material index; surface treatment; site furnishings and landscape structures; & and Irrigation Plan to suit fhoif-; • Drainage/Storm water Management Plan (may be illustrated on the Landscape Plan): with interim erosion control measures, proposed flow patterns and run-off control details; • Construction Limits Plan: defining a temporary construction fence location with consideration for construction access, stockpile areas, portable toilet, garbage bin and landscape restoration access; • Exterior Lighting and Signage Plan: includes fixture schedule with catalogue clips for site and building exterior lighting fixtures and street identification; • Color board (8.5" x 1 1 "): proposed exterior colors as applied to proposed materials for all exterior finishes; • Construction schedule; • Notarized copy of special easements including legal description, for example: common driveway (as required), public R/W and/or h public open space amenity. 5.3.1 Site Review of pre -staked development location, proposed construction and possible stockpile areas, existing and proposed landscape; discussion of issues/concerns. gone Pine Estates 113112005 Design Guidelines, Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions Page 7 cif 18 5.3.2 Design Approval (DRB in writing) for Building Permit Application (City of Kalispell) with DRB approved drawings. 5.3.3 Start-up Site Meeting & Construction Inspection (schedule at feast a minimum of 2 inspections). 5.3.4 Construction Completion of the building, all site work and open space amenities as defined in the development agreement, by a qualified builder, is required typically within 12 months of commencement, unless otherwise negotiated. Completion in these guidelines means the completion of interior as approved for occupancy (by the City of Kalispell) and the complete exterior of the development including all hard and soft landscaped areas. There will be a final inspection held at the request of the builder. It will identity any deficiencies relative to the DRB approval and initiate a construction completion certificate (CCC); and if applicable, a warranty period for common or public areas (typically a one year warranty). 5.3.5 Based upon a CCC being issued, submit a request for unused portion of the application fee. With a CCC, there is provision for release of a portion of the Security Deposit until FAC. 5.3.6 A Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) will be issued following a final inspection clearly indicating all work and deficiencies are completed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications, Development Agreement commitments, and warranty issues. A Real Report with Permission to Occupy or Development Completion Certificate (DCC) inspection by the City of Kalispell will be requested to confirm compliance. 5.3.7 Refund of Deposit [less costs). 6.0 Site Planning Guidelines In general, site planning of your residential lot will be largely influenced by a focus on the preservation of any existing tree growth and the topography of your lot. Your lot will have a defined Building Envelope shown on the Lot Location/Building Envelope Plan provided by LONE PINE ESTATES (LPE). 6.1 lot location/Building Envelope flan & Grade Slip: RE will provide a Lot Location/Building Envelope Plan at 1 "=20'-0" illustrating: the lot property lines, legal corner notes, adjacent lots, road right-of-way, and suggested driveway location. Existing specimen trees and groupings will be generally identified. Although this Lot Location Plan provided by LPE is based upon some on -site survey, it is not warranted as to its absolute accuracy. It is the Owner's responsibility to ensure that their plan fits,;§ amongst specimen trees and significant natural features. Lone Pine Estates 113 1100.E Design Gaidehnes, Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions Page 8 of M A Grade Slip is provided for establishing an appropriate building location relative to: existing comer grades, existing utility drops, suggested front grade and top of footing grades. Your site design will confirm driveway location, servicing tee connections, power boxes and street light standards. 6.2 The Building Envelope (BE) is the only portion of each lot within which ail improvements and construction activities of any kind can occur. Your BE has been identified for your lot based on the natural features of the lot, its views, topography, setback requirements as specifically defined on your Lot Location Plan. It considers the relationship to adjacent building envelopes and the elements of the Open Space Plan. The building design and construction shall recognize that the Building Envelope is defined as the maximum limit of disturbance. 6.3 Building Limits or the exterior walls of the building and foundation are to be designed to meet all setbacks established for the applicable zoning. 6.4 Lot Grading and Drainage are responsibilities of the Owner/Builder. Lot Grading is to generally follow the natural slope of the land. Slope adaptive development design, with a minimal grading requirement is a part of quality design. Specific storm water management requirements may be defined for your lot, as outlined on your Lot Location/Building Envelope Plan or Grade Slip. These are to be accounted .for in your grading design and may require storm water to be maintained on your site. Ail grading is to be limited to within your designated Building Envelope. Typically, natural drainage patterns and flow should not be obstructed. Your development and other improvements should be sited to avoid drainage courses. This includes channeling or concentrating overland flows. If there is no realistic alternative, DRB approval may be requested to enable natural appearing swales with a minimum slope of 27 that disperse runoff in a natural fashion. Surface runoff during, or as a result of construction, will require special precautions for flow and erasion control, such as straw bales and/or securely anchored filter cloth curtains. These must be removed as construction is completed and landscape development occurs. Drainage leaving the site before, during and after the construction should be free of suspended solids and appear to be natural. 6.5 [driveways/access roads may be considered individually or in common with a suitable adjacent lot and owner. As defined in your Saies/Development Agreement, you may be required to provide a Lune Pitae Fsiates 113112005 Design Guidelines, Coiidiiions, Covenants and Restrictions Page 9 of- 18 Shared Access Agreement if undertaking to incorporate a common driveway or amenity. Lots with less than 50 feet of frontage shall share a driveway approach with an adjacent lot. The location must consider safe road design, in particular relative to intersections, vehicle stacking and natural fondscape impact on safe driver site lines. Driveway approaches shall have an approach width not to exceed 22 feet, except shared approaches may be a maximum width of 28 feet. Driveway widths must be 20 feet, except shared driveways may be a maximum width of 26 feet. Approaches that enter the adjacent street on a curve possessing a street centerline radius of less than 200 feet shall not be closer than 50 feet to the next adjacent approach. The Owner is responsible to maintain the natural lot and road right-of-way drainage. Culvert installation, with appropriate end treatment or provision of a suitdble swaie in the driveway surface along the boulevard, may be required as part of you access development. Driveways are to be surfaced with texture to complement the development. Concrete paving stone with subtle color or crushed stone screenings are permitted surface treatments. If constructed with concrete, driveways shall be adequately reinforced concrete. 6,6 Pathways also are to be surfaced with texture to complement the development. 6.7 Site Services, Utility Boxes and Building Mechanical Equipment requirements and locations are to be planned from the initial conceptual design. 6.8 Corner Lots require a high degree of site understanding and detail to be considered during the planning and design. Typically at LONE PINE ESTATES, all sides at residence require design detailing to meet the guidelines, however with corner lots, DRB considers each frontage as a front yard application, front yard guidelines relative to articulation and setback apply to each street front. 7.0 Building Design Guidelines The building design guidelines are to assist you in realizing an architecture that belongs in LONE PINE ESTATES. The general intent is to achieve a successful design integration of building into the landscape. This may be accomplished x through sensitive mass°ng, form, scale, design modules, fenestration, selection of materials and colors. There will be a focus on strong roof form, wall, base and all elevation images. These design principles will apply to all structures. Good design is also being a good neighbor in the planning and architecture of your development. Lone Fine Estates 113112005 [design Guidefines, Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions Page 10 of 18 The building form and mass is to respond and conform to the existing grade and site conditions. Architectural elements applied to the building may be extended to structures in the landscape (balcony roofs, screen panels, lighting, furnishings, etc.). Effective energy and resource conservation is an important design consideration. 7.1 Building Size: Each dwelling unit shall contain not less than 1,250 square feet of total living space, exclusive of attached garage, basements, and open porches. Each dwelling shall include an attached garage -no less than 400 square feet in area. 7.2 Building Wall Articulation will provide proportionate variations in the plan and elevation of your building. Provide horizontal and vertical breaks in the wall planes, including balconies. Establish a rhythm of openings between solids and voids in the fagade through design and proportion. Front and Rear Elevations are to be articulated with material and relief. Building walls in plan exceeding 20 feet in length should have an offset of at least 4 feet prior to continuing. Variations in setbacks, in both plan and elevation, may be required. 7.3 Building Heights should take advantage of the view opportunities, while at the same time be sensitive to adjacent development, the land slope and tree growth. Maximum building heights are measured in accordance «i#h frr�niirr,shlsa �nnir�n 7.4 Roof Shape & Character is important to avoid vertical monotony. The use of porch or balcony roofs and dormers of all sizes contributes to the Duman scale. This is encouraged to provide a texture and an apparent reduction of the built mass. 7.5 Screen walls enclosing or screening patios and courtyards must be within the Building Envelope. Their design shall be treated as an extension of the building architecture, constructed of materials and finishes that match or complement the main building. Consider discontinuous in appearance, not over 13 feet in a single line or panel and 5 feet maximum in height. Partial roof, trellis, and/or arbor features may be considered. 7.6 Finishing for the various building faces, walls and roofs must adhere to the following notes: A. Non -reflective materials are to be used, including non -reflective glazing. B.

The use of blue, forest green and related tones may be allowed in certain shades. C. Materials for roofs may be sculpted architectural asphalt, fldt concrete or fiber -cement tile, slate or other cut stone only. D. Materials for walls may be vinyl siding, painted fiber -cement lap siding and either natural or cultured stone. Cultured stone shall be manufactured to match the natural stone application on lower floors and touchable areas. Colored stucco may be incorporated for very small area as an accent only. Stucco colors are to be deeply toned rich warm grays, greens and browns, light or soft reflective tones are not acceptable. Portions of the building fronting the street shall have an exterior wail covering that consists of at least 20% native stone or wood with natural tones. E. Materials for garage doors are preferred in a type of maintenance free construction. 7.7 Exterior lighting is to be limited to the Building Envelope and the public open space areas. Use low intensity non -glare fixtures to provide adequate illumination for safety and aesthetic enhancement. Uncovered light fixtures or non -focused, non -downward lighting fixtures are not permitted. 7.8 Building Accessories are those various attributes that are part of the atmosphere of each building. The following elements are often used and the following suggestions are directed at how they may be used in LONE PINE ESTATES. A. Antennae are restricted to interior attic applications only. B. Satellite dishes may be used if discretely located on the building, colored to match or blend with the relative exterior finish and a maximum 24" diameter. Screen with plantings from adjacent street, neighboring property and walkway views. Large ground mounted satellite dishes are prohibited C.

Only one outbuilding is permitted on any lot and shall not exceed 120 square feet in area nor 12 feet in height. No outside storage is permitted including vehicles parked for periods in excess of thirty consecutive days. G. Mechanical Equipment such as air conditioning compressors, cooling towers or rooftop units shall not be visually exposed. Consideration should be given to alternatives, e.g. GSP's that do not require exterior equipment placement or building wail penetration. 7.9 Compliance with other regulations: It remains the responsibility of the Owner/Builder to ensure that the construction of any buildings on the site conforms with State, Town or Municipal laws, regulations, by-laws or other enactment's, and any encumbrances affecting the title to the property, including, without limitation, utility rights-cf-way, easements and restrictive covenants and all requirements outlined on the grade slip and Lot Location Plan. 8.0 Landscape Design Guidelines All open or undeveloped area of the lot should be seeded or sodded in conjunction with any other plants, shrubs or trees and maintained appropriately. 8.1 Tree planting is encouraged as part of your lot and development process. They should be planted in loose groupings and be of the indigenous plant material as noted in Appendix. Non-native ornamental trees are not permitted. &2 Lawn Areas should be seeded or sodded with a mowable seed mixture. 8.3 Retaining Walls are to be designed and constructed so as to blend into the natural landscape.
