OLD BUSINESS: Three Rivers Bank — 223 East Idaho — review of bank addition. Revised
drawings were submitted, as well as a response letter and an updated report. They added into the
report the O & M as Appendix E. They have switched the erosion control and now have a
construction fence. They have maintained the alley access and have moved the construction entrance.
They will be taking out the curb ramps, and working with Freyholtz as to what they need to do there.
The site plan shows the two new ramps. They have shifted the pond next to the south curb line. In
terms of storm drainage, the water is still going to the same spot and the pond is still the same size.
They updated the basin map a little bit. They have removed the additional manhole and the water
quality device. The driveway will be replaced with a 2% grade driveway. The contour of the pond
has been pulled back and made as gentle as possible. They got rid of the rock and have six inches of
sediment storage. The PVC pipe with Fernco connections have been added, as well as a cleanout.
They will have an encroachment permit for the ramp on Idaho, which still needs to be approved by
MDT. CTA is doing the landscape architecture, and they will detail the fence and update their
Landscape Plan for where the pond moved. The Landscape information needs to be provided to the
Parks Dept. Everyone is fine with the ATM and the two stacking spaces. Their Stormwater Permit
has been approved. This is passed through Site Review, but start of construction cannot begin until
approved by Public Works.
The Rock — 350 Heritage Way; 2,800 sq. ft., 2-story medical office with a basement. We are still
waiting for construction drawings. C.T.A. told Haskins that they would have civil drawings in
possibly by the end of this week. This will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Starbuck's — 10 N Main; new coffee shop with drive-thru. This will be a 1,900 sq. ft. building
located on the corner of the Kalispell Center Mall property. They are about 50 percent done. We are
still waiting for their final set of plans. Public Works is still waiting on their Traffic Impact Study and
their drainage resolution. This will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Sinopah House — 420 Windward Way; new entry to existing building. The site plan shows the
location, which is a fair distance from the property line. This would be about a 60 or 70 sq. ft. new
entryway. This is passed through Site Review.
NEW BUSINESS: Kalispell Kidds — N. Meridian; new pediatric dental office. The building is
7,823 sq. ft. The sidewalk pedestrian access out to Meridian is the biggest change. The parking lot is
going to a bio filtration swale, and a pond is going down in the southwest corner of the site. As far as
the site geometry, it's all basically the same as what we looked at before. They reconfigured the
handicapped spaces and moved them to the south. A 60' x 20' area is basement, with the rest on
crawl space. They have 29 parking spaces (27 are required), with two handicapped spaces. They
may do an addition to the north in the future, at which time they would have to reconfigure the lot.
They plan to have bark mulch and sod or seed for landscaping. There is a water main that runs from
Northwest Lane. They are putting a hydrant on an island, and they will have a temporary blow off for
testing and then have a service stubbed up into the front lot. They need a letter to the State from the
City that states we are allowing them to do this. We need the overall pole height and clarification on
their lighting. They are pulling a sewer service off of the southeast corner. This will be on the agenda
for our next meeting.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Moore -Schreiner Property — 1500 3rd Ave E. Existing Quonset hut. Annexation - They are
connected to City water, but need to annex to get connected to City sewer. This will be going to the
Planning Board on May 13m
Rail Industrial Park — near the old McElroy & Wilken gravel pit site. The preliminary plat for the
Rail Industrial Park 20-lot subdivision recommendation was approved by the Planning Board and will
be going to the City Council May 5th
OTHER BUSINESS:
Three Mile Drive Bypass —MDT Project. Next week they are going to do their sewer tie over on
Wednesday. On Friday, they are going to do their water tie over. During that, they will only have
fire protection from the Sheepherder's tank. Dedman spoke with Schrader about this previously.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
