Resolution 3996 - Annexation - Baltrusch Addition153 RESOLUTION NO. 3996 A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY TO BE KNOWN AS BALTRUSCH ADDITION NO. 240; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT, RA-1, AND TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY AND TO DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the boundaries of the territory to be annexed is contained in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and for purposes of this Resolution made a part hereof, and WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a report on the annexation/zoning of the territory dated June 4, 1991, and WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the annexation and zoning of the property, pursuant to Section 6.13, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance on June 11, 1991 and recommended that the territory be annexed into the City of Kalispell and be zoned Residential Apartment, RA-1, in accordance with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and the Kalispell City -County Master Plan, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell held a public hearing pursuant to Section 6.13, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance on July 15, 1991 to consider the report made by the Flathead Regional Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, and WHEREAS, based upon the report of the Flathead Regional Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City - County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of the City of Kalispell finds that the. recommended zoning classification for the territory is in accordance with the Kalispell City -County Master Plan and the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance based upon the following criterion: 1. Does the oroposed._zone comply with the master plan? The Kalispell 'City -County Master Plan indicates that the subject property is in a transitional area from high density residential to general commercial. The suggested zoning classification of residential apartment RA-1 would be compatible with the anticipation of the Master Plan. 2. Is the proposed zone -designed to lessen congestion in the streets? The effect of the proposed zoning classification on traffic congestion can only be speculative at this time. The existing 1 M 154 access off of Corporate Drive appears to be inadequate to accommodate commercial traffic but probably can be improved to provide access to residential dwellings. The development of multi -family dwellings is subject to a conditional use permit, at which time the impacts of development on traffic can be anticipated and mitigated. This level of review associated with the issuance of a conditional use permit is not likely to be available if the property is zoned commercial. 3. Will the proposed zone secure safety from firepanic, and other dangers? At present, the property does not appear to be zoned but is readily developable due to the availability of infrastructure. Zoning of the property will ensure that future development will be compatible with the adjoining land uses. Kalispell Police and Fire protection will be available to the property upon annexation. 4. Will the proposed zone promote the health and general welfare? Zoning of the subject property is in the best interests of the area's residents and businesses since all surrounding properties are currently zoned. Zoning will allow the opportunity for public review of development proposals and offer some predictability of future land uses. The zoning is also in substantial conformance to the master plan which is a measure of general public interest. 5. Will the proposed zone provide for adequate light and air? The subject property is in a transition area from rural residential to general commercial. The proposed zoning classification of Residential Apartment .RA-1 will serve as an effective land use buffer between those two distinct land uses. In addition, the proposed zoning classification provides height limitations and setback requirements that will ensure adequate light and air consistent with the needs of a residential land use. 6. Will the proposed zone prevent the overcrowding of land? Overcrowding of land will not occur in a residential apartment RA-1 zoning district. All development must meet City of Kalispell codes and regulations including the adequate provision of roads and other infrastructure. In addition, the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance restricts maximum lot coverage to 40 percent. 7. Will the Proposed zone avoid undue concentration of people? Concentration of people is a function of land use density. The 2 1 1 M 155 proposed zoning classification regulates both the type of development and the density of development. The number of people associated with the property will be reflected by the scale of development. The proposed zoning classification allows anything from a single family dwelling to a multi -family dwelling. If a multi -family dwelling is proposed, adequate review mechanisms are in place to ensure that the infrastructure needs of the property are adequately provided and sized. These review mechanisms will ensure that undue concentration of people will not occur. 8. Will the proposed zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools arks and other Rublic requirements? The need or demand for various public facilities will depend on the development of the property. However, it appears that adequate infrastructure is in place relative to sewage collection and water supply. Transportation improvements along Corporate Drive may be necessary depending on the scale of development. These type of issues will be further evaluated pursuant to the issuance of a conditional use permit. The provision of parks and impacts to school enrollment will also be evaluated pursuant to that review process. 9. Does the proRosed zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the property for particular uses? The subject property does not physically adjoin a major arterial and is segregated from other commercial uses. The most immediate influence on the property is from the adjoining tracts of land that are either vacant, rural residential, or developed with multi -family dwellings. Due to the relative availability of various public infrastructure, the proposed zoning appears to be appropriate for this particular tract of land. 10. Does the proposed _zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the district? As suggested earlier, the subject tract is influenced by a variety of different land uses in the area. However, the tract of land appears to be somewhat isolated from other commercial uses and commercial zoned areas. It appears to be more influenced by the residential character of the properties to the north and west. Many of the commercially zoned properties to the east are vacant and in transition from retail to professional office. As suggested earlier, the proposed zoning classification would serve as an effective buffer between the more rural land uses and the more land intensive uses to the east. 11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of„buildings? The proposed zoning classification will not have a negative 3 ■ 156 affect on any of the adjoining land uses. The uses that might be anticipated with an RA-1 zoning classification would be compatible with the single family dwellings in the vicinity as well as the multi -family and commercial uses. 12. Will the proposed zone encoura a the most a rolDriate use of the land throughout the munici alit ? The proposed residential apartment RA-1 zoning classification will promote land uses consistent with the anticipation of the Master Plan and the surrounding uses. It will also provide additional land area for the development of multi -family dwellings which is generally lacking inside the city limits. The necessary infrastructure to serve multi -family dwellings is available to the property at this location.

June 18, 1991 This property is situated at the northerly terminus of Corporate Drive on the west side of Kalispell. It is generally located in the vicinity of the Ashley Square Mall. The property is vacant at this time. Please refer to Exhibit A for a more precise legal description of the property. A municipal service review was performed in June 1991 by the Kalispell Fire, Police, Public Works, and Parks Departments. The results of this service review is that each department is able to provide municipal services to the Baltrusch Addition on the substantially same basis and in the same manner in which municipal services are currently provided to the rest of the municipality. The Baltrusch Addition is within the Service Area Boundary of the City of Kalispell as described by the Extension of Services Plan adopted by the City of Kalispell on April 3, 1989 (Resolution #3838). This broad based extension of services plan, together with the following "mini -plan" (specific to this annexation) comprise the Extension of Services Plan_ for the Baltrusch Addition. EXISTING SERVICES: Water: A 12" water main is located at the southeast corner of the property in Corporate Way. There is no existing demand for water service since the property is vacant. Sewer: A 10" sewer main is located in Corporate Drive, adjacent to the property. There is no existing demand for sewer service since the property is vacant. Storm Drainage: No developed drainage facilities are in the vicinity of the property. There is no existing demand for improved drainage facilities since the property is vacant. Streets: Access to the property is available from Corporate Drive, a paved City road. There is no current use of Corporate Drive to serve the property since the property is undeveloped. 9 1 1 i 161 Garbage Collection: Garbage collection is available from private companies on a contract basis to the property. Police Protection: The area is within the jurisdiction of the Flathead County Sheriff's Department. Fire Protection: The area is within the jurisdiction of a rural fire district. ANTICIPATED SERVICE NEEDS: Water: Municipal water service is readily available to the property. A tie-in to the water main will be evaluated upon development of the property. No main extensions will be necessary. Sewer: Sewage collection is readily available to the property off of Corporate Drive. Again, connection to the sewer main will be evaluated at the time of development. No main extensions will be necessary. Storm Drainage: A comprehensive storm drainage system is not anticipated for the area in the near future. On -site storm drainage treatment and detention will be the responsibility of the landowner with development of the property. Streets: Street system improvements to Corporate Drive will be accomplished pursuant to the ongoing street maintenance and reconstruction program of the City. Routine maintenance, such as patching and snow removal, will also be the responsibility of the City. Any interior roads necessary Lo provide access to new development will be the responsibility of the private landowner. Garbage Collection: The City of Kalispell will not provide solid waste disposal to the annexed territory for a period of at least five (5) years, consistent with the provision of 7-2-4736, M.C.A. Police Protection: City of Kalispell police protection will be available upon annexation. No additional demand on the police force is expected until the property is developed. 2 E 162 Fire Protection: City ❑f Kalispell fire protection will be available to the property upon annexation. A' fire hydrant is within 100 feet of the property. Again, no additional demand on the fire department is expected until the property is developed. EXTENSION AND FINANCE STRATEGIES: Extension of water and. sewer mains will not be necessary to serve this property. The Kalispell Police: and fire Departments can provide services to this area without additional resources. The entire municipality will also share the tax burden for most of the street maintenance program. Individual improvements to the area relative to storm drainage and lighting will be financed in part by the residents of the entire municipality and in part by special assessments for that purpose. Such special improvement districts will be subject to voter approval. 3 1 1 M
