ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS

Benchmark Homes and William and Barbara Dye are requesting a zone
change for property they own located at the northwest corner of
Liberty Street 'and Meridian Road, The property is about 1 acre in
size and is accessed from both Liberty Street and Meridian Road.
The request is to change the zone from R-3 to R-5. The request was
the subject of a public hearing at the Planning Board's September
12th meeting. The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval
of the zone change request and Staff concurs with the
recommendation.
Larson moved Ordinance 1229, an ordinance to amend Section
27.01,010, Official Zoning Map, City of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance,
(Ordinance No. 1175) by zoning properties located on the northwest
corner of Liberty Street and Meridian Road (Previously zoned R-3,
Residential)# R-51 (Residential/Professional Office), in accordance
with the City -County Master Plan, and to provide an effective date.
The motion was seconded,.

ordinance 1230 would reduce the parking requirement for grocery and
supermarkets from 1 space per every 100 square feet of floor area
of customer sales and service, plus one space per 200 square feet
of grosa., floor area of storage and office to I space per 250 square
feet of gross floor area, Staff proposed the change because the
present standard is two to three times the national average for
this type of business. Industry standards typically call for four
to five spaces per one thousand square feet of gross floor area.
At the last work session it appeared to be Council's consensus to
amend the ordinance by removing any reference to grocery and
supermarkets, thereby requiring future grocery and supermarket
developments to follow the parking, standard for other retail
business under Section 27-26.050 (35) of the zoning code. This
will achieve the same obJective of reducing the parking
requirements for grocery stores and supermarkets. This request was
the subject of a public hearing at the September 12th Planning
Board meeting and forwarded with a favorable recommendation,

request and Staff concurred.

F!rmRoa&d-.Hi,qhw@-Y- 9.3., North Spwgr Mten-gign
The City budget for this year includes an appropriation of $470,000
to fund engineering design and construction of a sewer main north
along Highway 93 to Reserve Drive. For the past couple of months
Council has discussed the relative pros and cons of this project
and it was decided at the last work session to consider the proJect
during the regular meeting this week. Williams considers this
project to be one of opportunity to coordinate its construction
along with the reconstruction of this section of Highway 93. It
has been his opinion that by doing so the City would be able to
save substantially as a result of the coordinated effort. The
savings is estimated to be only about 15% or $75,000, which is a
savings, but not as substantial as originally thought. Williams
believes there is some relative merit to building the sewer main,
because it opens the corridor to present and future development'.
Atkinson moved to extend the sewer line to Reserve with engineering
and crossmembers estimated at $480,000. The motion was seconded,
There was discussion.
Graruno, Nystul, Larson and Collins spoke against the motion,
Atkinson and Moses spoke in favor of the motion.
With a vote the motion failed with Atkinson, Moses, Kennedy and
Rauthe voting in favor.
