NEW BUSINESS:
PRELIMINARY COMMENTS: - Kalispell Express Carwash – Public Works has comments regarding the south
approach. They will also require the sidewalk to be 8ft wide but there may be a conflict with utilities. MDT will
want to review the approaches that may impact the traffic flow on Hwy 2 and will likely require right in/right out.
Planning would like to see boulevard trees if there is room.
PRELIMINARY COMMENTS: - Valley Youth Center – Brandon from RPA presented revised plans based on
feedback from the December 19th Site Review Meeting. They met with Public Works and have been in contact
with Fire Department to meet their requirements. Public Works will require the northeast corner of the road to be
built like an intersection that must be wide enough for radius turns. They also require the water main to be moved
north and suggested locating the meter pits at the northeast corner of the building. RPA will consider the meter
pit suggestion after they have received input from the Fire Department. Public Works is ok with the trash enclosure
location. RPA is working with Public Works on the TIS level of service, sewer flows, lift station capacity, and
storm water. RPA will be meeting with Planning to discuss Final Plat application soon. Planning stated that they
have platted a turnaround in similar sites where the developer did not have access to the adjacent property.
Planning also suggested they contact the adjacent property owner to allow them on their property for grading on
the north and west sides of the property. Parks and RPA discussed the landscaping plan along the highway. Parks
advised RPA that the proposed mini swales will need to be features since they are in the corridor.
OTHER: – Community Development was awarded the Reserve grant for $25 million and provided updates on
other grants including the upcoming 4 Mile Grant.
