Buck moved Ordinance 1186, an ordinance amending Section 27.30.030,
City of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance No. 1175. The motion was
seconded.
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Section 27.30.030
Hearings for Amendments -First paragraph Delete -The project site
shall be posted indicating the time and location of the public
hearing at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. Reasons -
Posting of the site is not required by State law, the current
method is ineffective, time consuming and a potential liability if
overlooked.
Same Section- Second paragraph -Delete the first three sentences
beginning with the words "When the Zoning Commission"- and ending
with the words "prior to the'hearing date". Replace the first 3
sentences with "The Zoning Commission shall forward to the City
Council its recommendation on the proposed amendment to either the
text or the Zoning District map. Based on the results of the
Zoning Commission hearing, the Staff Report and Findings of the
Zoning Commission, the City Council shall by ordinance render a
decision to grant, amend or deny the requested amendment." Reason -
The first sentence of the current text is unclear as to what
happens if the Zoning Commission recommends denial of a zone
change. The public hearing before the City Council becomes
repetitious. The third sentence required a posting of the site
which is ineffective, time consuming and a problem if overlooked.

BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Gateway Orchard Villas -Development Cost Sharing
Thomas, Dean and Hoskins, the engineer representing the Orchard
Villa developer, requested City participation in financing some of
the project's off site improvements. Specifically the developer is
requesting that the City participate in the extension of an 8"
water main off their site to Kinshella. T D & H estimates the
City's cost to be $4,950. Public Works Director Babb estimates the
cost for this same element to be more like $3,400.
The City is also being asked to pay for two storm sewer inlets and
piping on Glenwood to discharge storm water into the 3' deep
drainage ditch to be constructed by the developer. The T D & H
estimate for this work is $6,800. Public Works Director Babb
agrees with this price. The final request is for the City to pay
for the cost of constructing Glenwood from the south boundary of
the project to Two Mile Drive. T D & H estimates this cost to be
$10,792. Public Works Director Babb estimates the cost for this
element of the project to be more like $9,123. The total requested
participation using the City's numbers is $19,323.
Williams requested Council authority to allow the participation of
the City in the off -site improvements to a total of $19,323.
Public Works Director Babb explained the project on the map.
There was discussion.

Larson moved for the city to participate in a cost sharing for the
extension of Glenwood Drive to Two Mile Drive in the amount of
$9,123. The motion was seconded.
Nystul moved to amend the motion on the floor by adding that the
council in consideration of the street right of way on the south
end, concur with the manager's recommendation to exchange the lot
on Hawthorn to the developer. The motion was seconded.
The amendment carried with a vote.
There was more discussion.
The reason the council is voting on this is because of the unique
nature of the alignment and the land exchange and that the council
fully recognizes that they are departing from the established
policies but that given the circumstances they think that it is in
the best interest of the community and does not set precedent.
Upon vote the amended motion carried with Kennedy, Buck and Moses
voting against.
