OLD BUSINESS:
West Coast Hotel/Kalispell Center Mall — expansion — Plans have not yet been
submitted. F. Ray has been working with them on their water issues.
NEW BUSINESS:
Glacier Meadows, LLC — apartment complex / 421-429 2nd Ave W — This went through
Architectural Review this morning. ARC changes include adding a Dutch hip, some railings.,
a courtyard common area, and some landscape buffering between the buildings. Utility issues
with gas company, and they asked that the lines be routed. There has been some discussion
about bindings together due to various utility issues. Discussion was held regarding keeping
it as three separate lots with shared connections on each individual lot. Put separate
connections for each lot with one meter per lot, then the issue of binding the lots together
goes away. These will be built as townhouses, and a duplex. Two 2-unit duplexes. They will
have 2-hour separation walls. From the Site Review and zoning perspective, they will need to
move the building to allow for a 10 foot setback from the parking spaces to the alley. They
will need to add a van accessible handicap parking space. A Lighting Plan needs to be
submitted, and the landscaping improved as previously noted. The alley will need to be paved
if it isn't yet, from the closest end to the end of their property. They will need a Landscaping
Plan for the common area. Addressing will be handled by Fred Zavodny. This is approved
with the conditions as listed above.
