Performance Bond Reminders: Same as last week. Frank asked about Spring Creek Development
still being on the list. Discussion was held, and he will look into this.
OLD BUSINESS:
West Coast Hotel/Kalispell Center Mall — expansion — They were done with the new
parking layout but then they revised it. They need to put together a Lighting Plan. Public
Works discussed their new access on Center Street. Frank said they need to do a right in,
right out. Parks needs to approve the landscaping Plan. Fire needs to approve this project
and see if they need another fire hydrant. The revised parking plan was reviewed and
discussed. Our approval does not include the two future pads at this time. We will request a
Letter of Intent regarding the misalignment of 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Signing is needed for the
eastbound lane that states "No Left Turn", along with "Do Not Enter" signs on the pork
chops. Signs are also needed on 2nd 3rd and 4th Avenues clarifying the crosswalks. They will
be getting their foundation permit so they can begin November 1. They need some sort of
pedestrian crossing along the north side of the interior access road.
Millbrandt — new apartments/ 1705 -5th Avenue East — They are working on an easement.
Nothing new has been received so far. They will need to bring the Building Department a
copy of their recorded document.
26/38-8th Avenue West — updated plans for apartment complexes — This was going to be one
project, but now will be two. They need to show a primary use for #38. They need to have
an easement agreement. The sidewalk does not have a 5' perimeter landscaping buffer. We
will need a Landscaping Plan and a Lighting Plan.
NEW BUSINESS:
None.
OTHER DISCUSSION:
Kalispell Youth Athletic Complex — The City Manager has waived the building fee for the
concession stand. The sewer and water fee will be paid by a grant that was obtained by the
Parks Department. The Parks Department is still waiting on the fire hydrant that needs to be
installed by the football storage building.
Woodland Park — The pedestrian bridges at Woodland Park have gone out for bid and Mike
is waiting for them to come in for review.
Subdivision off of Willow Glen Drive — We had asked where the high water mark was, the
top of the slope, the center line of the slope, etc. They decided to pull this off the Planning
Board Agenda as their elevations were all wrong.
Annexations — There is an annexation on the Planning Agenda for two lots off of South
Woodland Drive.
Lighting Standards — This will be addressed at a Work Session with the City Council on
Tuesday.
Road by Station 62 — The road has been changed from West Hutton Ranch Road to West
Reserve Loop.
Glacier High School — They have not yet paid their water and sewer late -comers' fees. They
are requesting the Fire Department sign off on this project as a "light hazard". Brent stated
the Fire Department will not sign off on this, but if they get the State Fire Marshal to sign off
on this, then the Fire Department will work with them on the fire flows.
Wells Fargo Bank — they now have two fire hydrants.
New Fire Inspector — Mike Eaton as begun employment as an additional Fire Inspector.
Valley Linen — Sandy stated she is closing on Valley Linen, so if there are any building
issues, she will put some money aside to address those issues. Their plumber has been into
the Building Department.
Westwood Park — Subdivision at the north end of Corporate Drive. There is a hydrant at
the northeast corner by National Flood. There is a two -unit townhouse at the southwest
corner of the site. They will need to bring their secondary access road to flood plain
standards. Bill Rice had called Narda on this. The property has not been surveyed yet.
Subdivision Regulations — Mark suggested the following be added to the Subdivision
Regulations: "Once a preliminary plat is received, no further permits will be issued until final
plat."
The meeting was adjourned at 11:25 a.m.
