OLD BUSINESS:
First American Title — 219 E. Center; new office building. They will be getting additional plans in
soon. This will be on the agenda next week.
KRMC — 320 Sunnyview Lane; G.I. Building (new digestive health building). This will be going off
the north of the existing building, right near the Women's/Children's Clinic. They are planning for an
April start. This is on hold while they are still working on their PUD. The PUD for KRMC will be
going to the February 14th Planning Board Meeting. Once the PUD is finalized, the G.I. Building
project will probably go quickly. This will be on the agenda for next week.
McDonald's — 1110 Hwy 2 W; new building to replace existing. They are planning on starting in
March. Fincher has received their Landscaping Plan that shows 60 more plants are being put in
compared to the original design. They will need to define what some of the sizes will be. Fincher is
fine with this plan. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Rivals — 1250 Hwy 2 W; remodel of old Sizzler/Tree Frog. Sports bar. No major site changes.
They have a CUP for their casino use. We'll need a site plan for the sidewalk, as the sidewalk is one
of their conditions. They will need an ADA ramp at the existing approaches. Parker noted that if
they move the kitchen where they want it, they will have some rooftop platforms and walkways to put
up, because they are putting in a Type-1 Hood Exhaust System through it, and they have to have a
maintenance platform because of the pitch of the roof. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS:
Immanuel Lutheran — 20 Claremont; Phase 2 of expansion of existing retirement community. They
need to give their bike easement to the City or build it themselves. Discussion was held regarding the
path, different options and suggestions, including having them remove their garbage area and put a
bike path on top. Jentz noted there are three trails there right now that are in the ditch that people are
using. Haskins suggested we turn Mission Street into a one-way street going north. This will be on
the agenda for next week.
Copperwood Brewing — 409 —1st Avenue East; convert existing retail to brewery. This is a Change
of Use. All changes are interior, along with a new sign outside. They are being pro -active on this
project, and have submitted their pre-treatment design. This will be on the agenda for next week.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
KRMC PUD — see above under Old Business.
Southside Estates — Parker explained previously that modular homes are under the State's
jurisdiction. The State didn't adopt the residential sprinklering requirements on the residential
building code, but with this only having one fire access, we put on the sprinklering requirement
according to the NFPA Fire Code. This has gone through Council. All units will need to be
sprinklered. Harball received a letter from the Dept. of Labor & Industry regarding the sprinklering
requirement. There will be a conference call on this. They won't get a Building Permit unless the
buildings are sprinklered or they put a secondary fire access through.
Silverbrook Estates — Their PUD went through the Public Hearing on Monday night. The first
reading will be in a week and a half with Council.
OTHER REPORTS:
Kalispell North Town Center — This went through Council Monday night. The Ford Dealer project
is in for Architectural Review. Mann Mortgage is also proposed to go here. Young is present to get
some preliminary feedback on the Mann Mortgage site. This will be sprinklered. There are two
hydrants proposed for Jefferson Boulevard and two on Lincoln Street. There will be a fire sprinkler
line and a water line to the building. Do we need an onsite hydrant? Dedman stated that they will
need an accessible hydrant within 150 feet of the hookup. Young stated they will run the 8-inch and
put the hydrant in the little island in the corner. Haskins would like the water line in the parking lot in
the drive aisle. They have to make it so the valves are accessible outside of parking spaces. This is a
26-foot drive aisle. They would need easements extended in on the main, at the fire hydrant, and at
the meter pit. There will be a possible addition on the building or a separate building in the next ten
2
to fifteen years. The original PUD for this site will need to be updated. The City will discuss the
internal roads with CTA.
Moose's Saloon — Fincher has received their Landscaping Plan and he stated it meets Parks'
requirements.
Spring Prairie Phase 4 — Jentz stated they may have a carwash going in.
Tika — Jentz stated Tika has five lots near Glacier High School that he is considering developing.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:47 a.m.
