Margaret Davis — Davis addressed the committee regarding the hospital area. She read from the
Kalispell Planning Report dated December 20, 2010, specifically Conditions 912 regarding a Traffic
Impact Study, and # 13 regarding a pedestrian path being installed on the east side of the hospital prior
to C of O for Phase 2. She believes they need to determine if ROW is needed for an eastside
connector between Sunnyview and Conway Drive, and complete the path on the eastside of the
hospital.

in the back at the NE corner of the property. This would be a 1,400 sq. ft. shop/storage building.
Parking has been expanded to the east. There is a fence line there where they are parking. Nygren

shown and it isn't clear how far out the front entrance area goes toward the sidewalk area. This will
be on the agenda for next week.
Kalispell Center Mall — Herberger's expansion. Plans were received on Tuesday, including their
demolition plan, existing plan and the water plan. Peterson noted they are still working on their
stormwater plan. Brodie noted their proposed storm alignment will go to the curb line. Wargo is fine
with that, as it is privately owned. They will be submitting a full set of plans early next week. They
hope to begin their demo work on July 1 Ith. This will be on the agenda for next week.

the Quonset but used to be. They are showing their parking backing up into Railroad Street, which is

regard sidewalks. This will be on the agenda for next week.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Mann Mortgage —The Application for Annexation and Initial Zoning for the property east of the
new Town Pump on Reserve for Mann Mortgage is on the July agenda. The annexation of the ROW
of West Reserve Drive up to the bridge at Stillwater was discussed with Freyholtz. Rademacher
stated that KPD is fine with this. Nygren noted that KFD is fine with this, too. Freyholtz is waiting
to hear back from someone in Helena about this.
Tree Frog — There are new owners who are wanting to put in an accessory casino. Their CUP will
be reviewed at the July Planning Board Meeting. The sidewalk requirement was included with the
2
CUP originally, and it will be a condition with this as well. The name of the business will most likely
be changed.
Subdivision on Woodland — We have received an application for Preliminary Plat for a subdivision
on Woodland. There are two lots, and they want to put a townhouse on each lot. This new plat
would allow townhouses instead of just single family residential at this location. The zoning in the
area allows this, but when the plat was done, the neighborhood at the time wanted it to be just single
family. This will be for the August Planning Board meeting.
OTHER REPORTS: None.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
