Grant Schnell Mack Development, 180 Funner 41 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,016 Road, Whitefish, Montana. Similar to this one, this is a 24 unit project we were 42 00:04:39,016 --> 00:04:43,739 awarded 9% tax credits on last year. We will start construction in the next couple 43 00:04:43,739 --> 00:04:47,092 of weeks, uh, also doing public notice just because we will be property tax exempt 44 00:04:47,092 --> 00:04:52,859 here as well. The property will range between 50 and 60% of the area median income, 45 00:04:53,004 --> 00:05:00,085 and it is a family product. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, any public comment 46 00:05:00,085 --> 00:05:04,769 on item number 2, the Apple Way Drive development. 47 00:05:10,035 --> 00:05:18,026 Any public comment? Anyone online? Nope. OK. Seeing no comment. I'm gonna close 48 00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:25,739 item number 2 on our agenda. And move into item number 3. this is file 49 00:05:25,739 --> 00:05:33,054 KA 26-01 and file KPUD 26-01. Habitat for Humanity of Flathead 50 00:05:33,054 --> 00:05:39,299 Valley has submitted a request for annexation, initial zoning of R3 residential with 51 00:05:39,299 --> 00:05:44,649 a planned unit development overlay. And planned unit development approval for the 52 00:05:44,649 --> 00:05:49,549 Birchwood PUD. The proposed development consists of approximately 95 residential 53 00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:55,085 units, including townhomes, cottages, and detached single-family residences on approximately 54 00:05:55,085 --> 00:06:02,709 21.32 acres of real property, generally located west of Northland Drive. 55 00:06:03,075 --> 00:06:08,239 Staff report, please. Good evening, Commissioner Donnie McBath planner too. Tonight 56 00:06:08,239 --> 00:06:14,959 I will be presenting Staff Report K 26-02 for Birchwood annexation and initial zoning 57 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:21,679 applications and a staff report KPUD 26-01 for the Birchwood plan unit development 58 00:06:21,679 --> 00:06:26,269 application. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of the proposal, 59 00:06:26,529 --> 00:06:30,001 summarize staff's review, and present the findings and recommendations contained 60 00:06:30,001 --> 00:06:35,589 in staff report. The subject property consists of approximately 21.32 acres located 61 00:06:35,589 --> 00:06:40,075 east of US Highway 93 alternative, south of Four Mile Drive, west of Northland Drive, 62 00:06:40,989 --> 00:06:45,091 and north of Northridge Way. The applicant is Habitat for Humanity of Flathead Valley 63 00:06:45,091 --> 00:06:51,089 Incorporated. The applicant is requesting annexation into the city of Kalispell, 64 00:06:51,429 --> 00:06:56,091 initial zoning to R3 residential with a planned unit development overlay, and approval 65 00:06:56,091 --> 00:07:02,014 of a planned unit development for approximately 95 residential dwelling units, including 66 00:07:02,014 --> 00:07:06,989 detached single-family homes, cottage homes, and town homes. During this presentation, 67 00:07:07,007 --> 00:07:11,095 I'll summarize the applicable review criteria, discuss the technical information 68 00:07:11,095 --> 00:07:16,369 submitted in the report of the applications. Present staff analysis and findings, 69 00:07:16,045 --> 00:07:19,017 and conclude with staff recommendation to the planning commission. 70 00:07:22,002 --> 00:07:25,092 The review of this application is governed by the Montana Land Use Planning Act, 71 00:07:25,094 --> 00:07:31,041 MALUUIPA and the city's adopted Kalispell Land Use Plan Planet 2045. Together, these 72 00:07:31,041 --> 00:07:36,041 establish the applicable review process and approval criteria. Under MALUUIPA, each 73 00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:41,369 land use application must be evaluated independently using its own statutory and 74 00:07:41,369 --> 00:07:46,809 local approval criteria. Even when multiple applications are considered concurrently. 75 00:07:47,239 --> 00:07:52,019 This evening, the commission is considering three related applications, annexation, 76 00:07:52,239 --> 00:07:56,739 initial zoning, plan unit development. Although a preliminary subdivision plat has 77 00:07:56,739 --> 00:08:00,429 been submitted, it is reviewed through a separate process. It is not before the planning 78 00:08:00,429 --> 00:08:04,085 commission this evening. If these applications are approved, detailed engineering 79 00:08:04,085 --> 00:08:09,739 plans, utility design, public infrastructure improvements, and pre preliminary subdivision 80 00:08:09,739 --> 00:08:13,006 plat will continue through the city's subdivision and engineering review process. 81 00:08:14,047 --> 00:08:18,032 Throughout this presentation, I will identify the applicable review criteria, summarize 82 00:08:18,032 --> 00:08:22,459 the technical information submitted by the applicant, and explain how staff applied 83 00:08:22,064 --> 00:08:24,559 those standards in reaching its recommendation. 84 00:08:26,679 --> 00:08:31,044 The subject property consists of approximately 21.32 acres located east of US Highway 85 00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:37,032 93 alternative, south of Four Mile Drive, west of Northland Drive, and north of Northridge 86 00:08:37,032 --> 00:08:41,799 Way. The property is currently within unincorporated Flathead County and is proposed 87 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,028 for annexation into the city of Kalispell. The site is concurrently undeveloped and 88 00:08:46,028 --> 00:08:50,039 was previously owned by the Montana Department of Transportation in association with 89 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:55,219 construction of the US Highway 93 alternative corridor. The surrounding area includes 90 00:08:55,219 --> 00:08:59,619 existing and developing residential neighborhoods to the east and south, vacant land 91 00:08:59,619 --> 00:09:04,005 to the north, and the US Highway 93 alternative corridor to the west. The future 92 00:09:04,005 --> 00:09:09,159 land use map shown on the left, designates the property as a medium density residential 93 00:09:09,659 --> 00:09:15,059 under the Kalispell Land Use Plan Planet 2045. The vicinity map shown on the right 94 00:09:15,059 --> 00:09:18,002 illustrates the property's relationship to the surrounding transportation network 95 00:09:18,002 --> 00:09:23,025 and adjacent neighborhoods. The medium density residential designation provides the 96 00:09:23,025 --> 00:09:27,409 policy framework for evaluating the proposed annexation, initial zoning, and plan 97 00:09:27,409 --> 00:09:30,095 unit development applications and serves as the basis for the staff's consistency 98 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:31,669 analysis. 99 00:09:34,005 --> 00:09:38,045 Before discussing the traffic impact study, I'd like to orient the commission to 100 00:09:38,045 --> 00:09:42,069 the proposed access and circulation patterns serving the development. As shown on 101 00:09:42,069 --> 00:09:47,369 the aerial photograph, the property does not have direct vehicular access to US Highway 102 00:09:47,369 --> 00:09:52,033 93, alternative or 4-mile drive. Access to the development is provided through the 103 00:09:52,033 --> 00:09:57,489 existing local street network. The proposed primary access is from the Northland 104 00:09:57,489 --> 00:10:02,929 Drive, located along the southeastern portion, which is right here. I'm sorry, right, 105 00:10:03,001 --> 00:10:08,239 right over here. And a secondary access is proposed from North Ridge Way, providing 106 00:10:08,239 --> 00:10:11,064 an additional connection from the neighborhood circulation, which would be right 107 00:10:11,064 --> 00:10:12,044 over in this way. 108 00:10:15,045 --> 00:10:19,038 Additional connect connection from the neighborhood, circulation, emergency services, 109 00:10:19,046 --> 00:10:24,219 and overall network connectivity. The proposed street network also includes a future 110 00:10:24,219 --> 00:10:29,109 street connection to the north. Which would be right in this area, which connects. 111 00:10:31,349 --> 00:10:35,989 Allowing for connectivity should the adjacent property develop and supporting the 112 00:10:35,989 --> 00:10:40,989 city's long-term transportation planning objectives. These proposed access points 113 00:10:40,989 --> 00:10:44,789 formed the basis of the traffic impact study and were evaluated by the applicant's 114 00:10:44,789 --> 00:10:48,969 traffic engineer, the city's independent third-party traffic engineering consultant 115 00:10:48,969 --> 00:10:52,289 and public works as part of the overall transportation review. 116 00:10:55,057 --> 00:10:59,869 The conceptual development plan establishes the overall framework for the proposed 117 00:11:00,049 --> 00:11:05,032 neighborhood, including 95 residential dwelling units consisting of detached single-family 118 00:11:05,032 --> 00:11:11,059 homes, cottage homes, and town homes. The plan also illustrates the internal street 119 00:11:11,059 --> 00:11:17,025 network, residential lot layout, pedestrian connections, common open space, landscaping, 120 00:11:17,309 --> 00:11:22,419 and stormwater facilities. The overall residential density is approximately 4.46 121 00:11:22,419 --> 00:11:26,679 dwelling units per gross acre, which is considered the medium density residential 122 00:11:27,005 --> 00:11:32,078 designation in Kalispell land use plan, plant 45, and remains below the maximum density 123 00:11:32,078 --> 00:11:37,859 anticipated for that designation. As part of its review, staff evaluated the conceptual 124 00:11:37,859 --> 00:11:41,058 development plan for consistency with the plan unit development regulations, the 125 00:11:41,058 --> 00:11:45,094 Kalispell land use plan, and the applicable review criteria contained in the Kalispell 126 00:11:45,094 --> 00:11:50,096 zoning ordinance. It is important to note that this application establishes the overall 127 00:11:51,014 --> 00:11:56,013 development framework for the site. Detailed engineering plans, utility infrastructure, 128 00:11:56,038 --> 00:12:00,179 subdivision improvements, and construction plans will be reviewed separately through 129 00:12:00,179 --> 00:12:04,032 the subdivision engineering and building permit processes if applications are approved. 130 00:12:05,109 --> 00:12:08,869 The conceptual development plan shown on the slide serves as the basis for the staff's 131 00:12:08,869 --> 00:12:11,053 evaluation of the plan unit development application. 132 00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:17,053 As part of the plan unit development application, the applicant is requesting several 133 00:12:17,053 --> 00:12:22,003 deviations from the development standards contained in the Kalispell zoning ordinance 134 00:12:22,021 --> 00:12:26,789 and the Kalispell subdivision regulations. The plan unit development process provides 135 00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:31,289 flexibility in the site design while ensuring the overall development remains consistent 136 00:12:31,289 --> 00:12:36,469 with the intent of the zoning ordinance. The Kalispell land use plan and the applicable 137 00:12:36,469 --> 00:12:43,013 approval criteria contained in section 27.19.020 of the Kalispell zoning ordinance. 138 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:47,088 For this application, the requested deviations include the absence of an east-west 139 00:12:47,088 --> 00:12:53,159 street connection, the use of private alleys to serve certain residential lots. Reduced 140 00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:58,479 minimum lot sizes, and reduced minimum lot widths. The exhibit shown on the slide 141 00:12:58,479 --> 00:13:03,015 illustrates the proposed street layout, lot configuration, and access patterns associated 142 00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:08,071 with the request. Staff evaluated each requested deviation using the Abaco plan unit 143 00:13:08,071 --> 00:13:12,359 development and subdivision review criteria. The analysis considered whether the 144 00:13:12,359 --> 00:13:16,559 deviations are supported by the overall site design, remain consistent with the intent 145 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,869 of the Applicable regulations, and satisfy the required approval criteria. The applicant's 146 00:13:21,869 --> 00:13:27,369 justification, staff's analysis, and the recommended findings for each deviation 147 00:13:27,369 --> 00:13:29,969 are discussed within the greater detail within the staff report. 148 00:13:32,859 --> 00:13:37,169 The applicant submitted a geotechnical investigation prepared by Alpine Geotechnical, 149 00:13:37,027 --> 00:13:44,289 dated August 19, 2025, to evaluate sub-service conditions and provide recommendations 150 00:13:44,309 --> 00:13:49,015 for the proposed development. The investigation identifies the property as a known 151 00:13:49,015 --> 00:13:53,025 fill site associated with the construction of the US Highway 93 alternative corridor. 152 00:13:53,789 --> 00:13:58,349 Fill depths generally range from approximately 5 ft to more than 17 ft across portions 153 00:13:58,349 --> 00:14:03,669 of the site. Beneath the fill, the investigation primary encountered native silt 154 00:14:03,669 --> 00:14:08,869 soils, a native gravel identified only in isolated areas. This, the investigation 155 00:14:08,869 --> 00:14:12,869 identifies several geotechnical considerations for future development, including 156 00:14:12,869 --> 00:14:18,083 grading, roadway construction, utility installation, foundation design, and long-term 157 00:14:18,083 --> 00:14:24,003 settlement. Because subsurface conditions vary across the site, foundation recommends, 158 00:14:24,005 --> 00:14:28,059 recommendations may also vary depending on conditions encountered during construction. 159 00:14:29,289 --> 00:14:34,089 Recommended engineering measures include engineered fill placement, removal and recompaction 160 00:14:34,089 --> 00:14:41,229 of unsuitable materials where necessary, geotextile, stabilization fabric, triaxial 161 00:14:41,229 --> 00:14:46,057 geogrid reinforcement beneath roadway sections, and geotechnical observation and 162 00:14:46,057 --> 00:14:50,009 testing during grading and construction. The geotechnical investigation concludes 163 00:14:50,009 --> 00:14:55,038 that the property can be developed provided its recommendations are incorporated 164 00:14:55,038 --> 00:15:00,179 into the project's design and construction. Staff's review did not identify information 165 00:15:00,179 --> 00:15:05,219 inconsistent with those conclusions. Accordingly, the recommended condition of approval 166 00:15:05,219 --> 00:15:09,082 require compliance with the geotechnical investigation during future engineering 167 00:15:09,082 --> 00:15:15,539 review. Subdivision improvements, infrastructure construction. And building permit 168 00:15:15,539 --> 00:15:20,033 review to ensure those recommendations are implemented throughout subsequent phases 169 00:15:20,033 --> 00:15:21,013 of development. 170 00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:29,082 The applicant submitted a traffic impact study prepared by WGM Group to evaluate 171 00:15:29,082 --> 00:15:33,739 the transportation impacts associated with the proposed development. The study evaluates 172 00:15:33,739 --> 00:15:38,046 a residential development consisting of 95 dwelling units and estimates the project 173 00:15:38,046 --> 00:15:44,299 will generate approximately 1,014 average daily vehicle trips at full buildout using 174 00:15:44,299 --> 00:15:50,025 the Institute of Transportation, Engineering, ITE trip generation methodology. The 175 00:15:50,025 --> 00:15:55,004 analysis evaluates traffic operations under both existing and projected future conditions, 176 00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:59,919 including the surrounding roadway network and intersections anticipated to experience 177 00:15:59,919 --> 00:16:05,849 traffic generated by the proposed development. The study assumes primary access from 178 00:16:05,849 --> 00:16:11,169 Northland Drive, secondary access from North Ridge Way, and a future street connection 179 00:16:11,169 --> 00:16:16,559 to the north as adjacent properties develop. The plan unit development application 180 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:20,032 also includes requests for deviations from the city's standard street connectivity 181 00:16:20,032 --> 00:16:24,058 requirements, including the absence of the east-west street connection and the use 182 00:16:24,058 --> 00:16:29,032 of private alleys serving portions of the development. Those requests were evaluated 183 00:16:29,032 --> 00:16:32,096 independently under the applicable planned unit development review criteria. The 184 00:16:32,096 --> 00:16:37,359 traffic impact study identifies a reduction in level of service for one intersection 185 00:16:37,359 --> 00:16:41,044 movement under the future conditions. However, that movement is projected to continue 186 00:16:41,044 --> 00:16:46,219 operating at an acceptable level of service. Based on the analysis, the study does 187 00:16:46,219 --> 00:16:51,009 not identify transportation improvements attributable to proposed development. At 188 00:16:51,009 --> 00:16:56,559 the city's request, the traffic impact study was also reviewed by an independent 189 00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:01,419 third-party traffic engineering consultant in coordination with public works department. 190 00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:06,052 Together, those reviews evaluated projected traffic operations, access circulation, 191 00:17:06,063 --> 00:17:10,008 connectivity, and traffic distribution to determine whether the surrounding transportation 192 00:17:10,008 --> 00:17:15,678 network could accommodate the projected traffic volumes. Detailed roadway design, 193 00:17:15,958 --> 00:17:20,798 intersection, geometry, alley design, parking layout, emergency access, drainage, 194 00:17:20,838 --> 00:17:24,519 utilities, and subdivision improvements will be reviewed through this, the subsequent 195 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:30,119 engineering and subdivision review processes in the applications if the applications 196 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,718 are approved. 197 00:17:33,329 --> 00:17:37,001 Because the property is located adjacent to the US Highway 93 alternative corridor, 198 00:17:37,017 --> 00:17:42,053 the applicant submitted an acoustical analysis prepared by Big Sky Acoustics to evaluate 199 00:17:42,053 --> 00:17:46,093 the traffic noise impacts associated with the proposed residential development. The 200 00:17:46,093 --> 00:17:50,064 study evaluated projected traffic volumes and noise levels throughout the site and 201 00:17:50,064 --> 00:17:54,065 identified portions of the western edge of the development that would exceed the 202 00:17:54,065 --> 00:18:01,569 city's 60 decibels exterior residential noise standard. Without mitigation. To address 203 00:18:01,569 --> 00:18:04,027 those impacts, the study recommends a sound. 204 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:12,004 Attenuation, sorry, I can't pronounce that word. System consisting of 6-foot sound 205 00:18:12,004 --> 00:18:17,028 wall constructed on top of 2-foot berm, providing a total mitigation height of approximately 206 00:18:17,028 --> 00:18:22,319 8 ft. According to the analysis, these measures would reduce projected noise levels 207 00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:26,959 to the city's exterior residential noise standard for the affected portions of the 208 00:18:26,959 --> 00:18:31,839 development. The conceptual development plan includes open space along the western 209 00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:37,089 property. Adjacent to the bypass corridor, providing an area where the recommended 210 00:18:37,089 --> 00:18:42,041 mitigation measures could be located. Final design, location, landscaping, ownership, 211 00:18:42,053 --> 00:18:46,109 maintenance responsibilities, and construction details will be addressed during subsequent 212 00:18:46,619 --> 00:18:51,439 engineering and subdivision review if the application is approved. The acoustical 213 00:18:51,439 --> 00:18:55,359 analysis concludes that the projected traffic noise impacts can be mitigated through 214 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,042 implementation of the recommended measures. According to the recommended conditions 215 00:18:59,042 --> 00:19:03,052 of approval require those recommendations to be incorporated into future engineering 216 00:19:03,052 --> 00:19:04,599 and subdivision review. 217 00:19:06,959 --> 00:19:14,093 And here are two examples of pictures. Figure 3 shows. Uh, the year 2046 with 218 00:19:14,093 --> 00:19:21,025 no barrier, and then figure 4, 2046 with an eight-foot barrier, and you can see. 219 00:19:22,609 --> 00:19:23,839 The distances 220 00:19:26,064 --> 00:19:27,719 In each decibel there. 221 00:19:32,026 --> 00:19:36,229 Throughout the review process, staff evaluated the applications for consistency with 222 00:19:36,229 --> 00:19:40,869 the Montana Land Use Planning Act, the Kalispell Land Use Plan planned at 2045, the 223 00:19:40,869 --> 00:19:44,067 Kalispell zoning ordinance, and the applicable provisions of the Kalispell subdivision 224 00:19:44,067 --> 00:19:49,003 regulations. As part of that review, the applications were circulated to the appropriate 225 00:19:49,003 --> 00:19:53,051 city departments and reviewing agencies including public works, engineering, Parks 226 00:19:53,051 --> 00:19:57,829 and recreation, the Kalispell Fire Department, and other affected agencies. Staff 227 00:19:57,829 --> 00:20:01,349 also evaluated the technical information submitted by the applicant, including the 228 00:20:01,349 --> 00:20:06,869 traffic impact study, geotechnical investigation, acoustical analysis, utility information, 229 00:20:07,003 --> 00:20:11,349 and other supporting documentation. Public comment has been submitted and is attached 230 00:20:11,349 --> 00:20:16,066 in the packet. Based on the information contained in the record and staff's evaluation 231 00:20:16,849 --> 00:20:21,739 on the applicable approval criteria, staff finds that the applications satisfy the 232 00:20:21,739 --> 00:20:26,239 required standards for approval subject to the recommended findings and conditions 233 00:20:26,239 --> 00:20:31,515 contained in the staff reports. Accordingly, Staff recommends that the planning commission 234 00:20:31,515 --> 00:20:35,594 for the recommendation of approval to the city council for the annexation, initial 235 00:20:35,594 --> 00:20:40,074 zoning, and plan unit development applications, subject to the findings and conditions 236 00:20:40,074 --> 00:20:43,785 presented in the staff reports. This concludes my presentation and I'd be happy to 237 00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:49,849 answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you, Johnny. Any questions from the commission 238 00:20:49,849 --> 00:20:57,067 for staff? Um, I just wanted to touch on the traffic impact 239 00:20:57,067 --> 00:21:04,599 study. We do not know what it, like, how the roads may be. 240 00:21:05,075 --> 00:21:12,003 Altered or adjusted in order to address the increased traffic in that area? At this 241 00:21:12,003 --> 00:21:18,119 point Yeah, the, the analysis that was completed really showed that there's only 242 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:25,119 one level of service drop that per our standards requires um mitigation and that 243 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,119 was by 1 2nd. So, you know, that level of service drop, I can't remember if it took 244 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:37,959 it from an A to a B or a B to a C, but anyways, B to a C. Um, and with the third-party 245 00:21:37,959 --> 00:21:43,829 analysis, what was determined was that, uh, our standards require that they do a, 246 00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:51,004 um, uh, an analysis where you would look at the term of the, the period which is 247 00:21:51,004 --> 00:21:55,055 I think 5 years and look at the background growth without the development versus 248 00:21:55,055 --> 00:22:01,025 with the development. And likely when that analysis is completed, which will be um 249 00:22:01,025 --> 00:22:06,067 upcoming. Um, I don't think a level of service drop will actually be, uh, identified. 250 00:22:06,969 --> 00:22:12,003 Um, so when they, when they did it, they just did it from today to the future, and 251 00:22:12,003 --> 00:22:17,017 that shows, uh, level of service drop, but that doesn't, um, that isn't quite per 252 00:22:17,017 --> 00:22:23,489 our requirements, um, and then as far as the, the capacity of the roadway, um, yeah, 253 00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:30,719 the, the local streets, um, typically I think. If you do a uh um volume to 254 00:22:30,719 --> 00:22:36,869 capacity uh analysis, you can look at a level of service that way, that wasn't completed 255 00:22:36,869 --> 00:22:43,078 as part of this TIS it's something that we could ask for in, in the, um The addendum 256 00:22:43,078 --> 00:22:49,459 to the, the TIS, but a local street has quite a bit of capacity for the amount of 257 00:22:49,459 --> 00:22:53,819 traffic that we're gonna be pulling out of this. OK, thank you. 258 00:22:58,839 --> 00:22:59,009 Any other questions? 259 00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:09,439 Oh, I did have one more. Did, um. And maybe Mike is going to address this, but did 260 00:23:09,439 --> 00:23:17,068 we get a map of this development adjacent to phase of uh Northland subdivision that 261 00:23:17,068 --> 00:23:20,859 we were going to look at? We requested it during the work session. 262 00:23:26,075 --> 00:23:32,052 So you're requesting a map for the, the, the development in relation to the phase 263 00:23:32,052 --> 00:23:39,699 that's being built of Northland subdivision adjacent to the east. So a map like 264 00:23:39,088 --> 00:23:45,589 what's on here, well, showing the actual road infrastructure of that that phase of 265 00:23:45,589 --> 00:23:50,053 Northland that is currently being built. Because we had a question about connecting 266 00:23:50,053 --> 00:23:55,003 east and west and why that wasn't able to be accomplished. And I know through and 267 00:23:55,003 --> 00:23:58,051 then kind of looping up towards the north in the situation right through there with 268 00:23:58,051 --> 00:24:02,469 another connection coming through here. There's quite a bit of topography that slopes 269 00:24:02,469 --> 00:24:08,589 down towards um these homes in this area, um, as well as through here. When that 270 00:24:08,589 --> 00:24:11,949 subdivision went through, there weren't any provisions for any connections there 271 00:24:11,949 --> 00:24:17,479 because of that topography made it. Not impossible, but next to impossible, uh, to 272 00:24:17,479 --> 00:24:21,229 make a road connection that would come down. So there are no provisions for a connection 273 00:24:21,689 --> 00:24:26,026 to be there. Uh, and that's why you would see that with the, uh, Good. 274 00:24:29,077 --> 00:24:36,089 Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with it personally, but my Fellow commissioners may not 275 00:24:36,089 --> 00:24:44,076 be. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure, it's hard to bounce back and forth. Um, 276 00:24:44,092 --> 00:24:48,054 the other thing that they wound up doing with this too is had quite a bit of buffering 277 00:24:48,719 --> 00:24:53,027 along this area, um, which is a second reason why there wasn't, uh, a provision for 278 00:24:53,027 --> 00:24:59,053 connection through there. Um, and they were doing that partly because of the Difficulty 279 00:24:59,053 --> 00:25:03,729 in getting some of the building sites on that slope, but uh it did open up the area 280 00:25:03,729 --> 00:25:07,041 for quite a bit of green space and buffering between those adjoining areas. That's 281 00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:10,005 another reason why that connection didn't go through. So hopefully that gives you 282 00:25:10,005 --> 00:25:11,077 a little bit of a picture of what was going on. 283 00:25:18,006 --> 00:25:25,064 Questions. Um, I am curious, looking at page 74 of the PUD, 284 00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:32,004 um, there is some reliance on future road network changes, um, uh, attaching to 4 285 00:25:32,004 --> 00:25:39,038 Mile Drive over that hill, um, and that's reliant on that property to the north developing. 286 00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:45,219 Should that not come to pass, is there some. Uh, way to mitigate the traffic through 287 00:25:45,219 --> 00:25:48,038 this area, or is that just hanging? 288 00:25:50,489 --> 00:25:55,089 If, if that connection were made, it would actually help the level of service drop 289 00:25:55,089 --> 00:26:02,009 that um is is indicated in the current TIS um so I mean that would actually mitigate 290 00:26:02,009 --> 00:26:08,719 that my question is if it were not to be developed, yeah, if it were not to be developed, 291 00:26:09,369 --> 00:26:17,329 then it, it actually it appears once they update the TIS report that it's, it's already 292 00:26:17,329 --> 00:26:18,189 meeting our standard. 293 00:26:23,939 --> 00:26:29,068 Any questions? I had one question. There's a number of conditions related to the 294 00:26:29,068 --> 00:26:36,479 geotechnical and I'm sure there will be questions on that. Um, I haven't seen the 295 00:26:36,479 --> 00:26:42,051 condition before about a geotechnical compliance plan. Um, I don't know, uh, Keith, 296 00:26:42,055 --> 00:26:47,003 if that came from Public Works or Donnie, if you can just give us a high-level review 297 00:26:47,003 --> 00:26:52,209 of what, what you're expecting. That's a little different in this subdivision because 298 00:26:52,209 --> 00:26:56,969 of the geotech issues, right? It is a little bit different in some senses. It's there 299 00:26:56,969 --> 00:27:00,041 because there isn't a specific plan in place and how to mitigate it, and the geotech 300 00:27:00,041 --> 00:27:04,093 called out a lot of different options. So there was helical peers or, you know, do 301 00:27:04,093 --> 00:27:09,209 you excavate things out. Um, I know they were looking at putting together a potential 302 00:27:09,209 --> 00:27:14,000 plan to, um, excavate out building sites and then come back and, and compact those 303 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,949 areas to address that. Um, public works and building department both looked at the, 304 00:27:18,959 --> 00:27:22,079 uh, geotech that came in, but because there was a broad range that would come in 305 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:25,068 there without a specific plan on what was going on, that was essentially what was 306 00:27:25,068 --> 00:27:29,027 being called out is, uh, you know, before it moved to any type of development of 307 00:27:29,027 --> 00:27:33,239 the property, having a, you know, a specific engineering plan on how to deal with 308 00:27:33,239 --> 00:27:40,699 some of those findings in the geotech report. OK, thank you. Last chance questions? 309 00:27:41,025 --> 00:27:49,000 No? OK. Um, with that, I will open this up for public comment. Uh, if you have 310 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,329 anything to Uh, present to the commission this evening. Please step to the microphone, 311 00:27:54,051 --> 00:27:58,041 state your name and address, and give us your thoughts. 312 00:28:08,199 --> 00:28:14,008 Good evening. I'm Jeff Wilson, um, 196 Fairway Boulevard in Kalispell. I'm the real 313 00:28:14,008 --> 00:28:19,339 estate broker representing the Kalispell Public Schools Student Built Home program. 314 00:28:20,028 --> 00:28:26,008 And we just completed our 11th home, uh, directly south. Of this development, and 315 00:28:26,008 --> 00:28:32,959 we've got one lot left to build on, and one of the unique situations for our program 316 00:28:32,959 --> 00:28:40,369 is that each year we have to establish a lot, Adjoining our project to put the classroom 317 00:28:40,369 --> 00:28:45,053 and all of our equipment on while we build. And Westcraft has been very great to 318 00:28:45,053 --> 00:28:50,053 us over the last 6 years that we've built in that development south of this, and 319 00:28:50,053 --> 00:28:55,017 now we're going to be out of room, uh, going forward, so we're actually in progress 320 00:28:55,017 --> 00:29:02,031 of leasing space directly on this property for next year's build, while we build 321 00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:08,092 the very last home. And our intent and, and discussions with Habitat are to potentially 322 00:29:08,092 --> 00:29:14,038 pivot the program into this development in the future. So, we have a really deep 323 00:29:14,038 --> 00:29:19,038 interest in hoping this goes through, because this location suits the program very 324 00:29:19,038 --> 00:29:24,005 well from bussing students from Flathead and Glacier, it's very central and minimizes 325 00:29:24,005 --> 00:29:29,018 travel time for the kids. We've been averaging 25 to 40 kids per year that are in 326 00:29:29,018 --> 00:29:34,014 our program. And we have a new teacher actually that we're excited to kind of pivot 327 00:29:34,014 --> 00:29:39,014 from right now. So, again, we have a very deep interest in hoping this goes through 328 00:29:39,014 --> 00:29:44,038 because this would be a really good project for our program to pivot into, and we 329 00:29:44,038 --> 00:29:49,099 would have enough adjoining lots next to each project each year to be able to stage 330 00:29:49,099 --> 00:29:54,005 our equipment on. So I would encourage the commission to accept the annexation on 331 00:29:54,005 --> 00:29:57,076 the proposal. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Wilson. 332 00:30:07,066 --> 00:30:12,619 Um, Mike Brody, WGM Group, um, representing the applicant tonight, um, 4 through 333 00:30:12,619 --> 00:30:16,459 1 1st Avenue West. I actually didn't know about the student-built homes, which is 334 00:30:16,459 --> 00:30:20,078 kind of cool, but, um, I'm really excited about this development and kind of the 335 00:30:20,078 --> 00:30:25,599 format that we're trying to do here. Um, I appreciate the thorough staff report from, 336 00:30:25,619 --> 00:30:32,239 um, Donnie and PJ and, um, Keith for having that third party review too. Um. Ms. 337 00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:37,004 Walker, I, I was gonna address some of the level of service elements there, um, that 338 00:30:37,004 --> 00:30:41,579 I heard. Um, I, I do want to just define what this level of service that we're talking 339 00:30:41,579 --> 00:30:46,239 about here is, is out at um Northland Drive and Four Mile Drive is the only area 340 00:30:46,239 --> 00:30:51,839 that is potentially impacted. Um, Mr. Van Allen, you pointed out too that if it does 341 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:59,329 go through to the north, which it's clearly planned for, um, That to potentially 342 00:30:59,329 --> 00:31:06,369 happen, should it happen. Um, it, it, all that goes away, um, but as the third-party 343 00:31:06,369 --> 00:31:11,209 reviewer seemed to concur with our agreement that you really may not have an issue 344 00:31:11,209 --> 00:31:14,069 at that intersection when we're talking about level of service, we're talking about 345 00:31:14,029 --> 00:31:20,081 delay time at a, at an intersection, so. A level of service B is 10 to 15 seconds 346 00:31:20,081 --> 00:31:27,001 of wait and a level of service C is 15 to 25 seconds of waiting at a stop light or 347 00:31:27,001 --> 00:31:32,041 a stop sign or whatever. And in this case, it's going from, in the no build condition, 348 00:31:32,449 --> 00:31:37,029 it goes from a level of service B of 14 seconds of wait to a level of service C of 349 00:31:37,029 --> 00:31:44,859 15 seconds of wait. So it's really not uh a notable impact, right? Um. It is just 350 00:31:45,027 --> 00:31:48,088 right on that cusp between those two levels of services, which is why I believe the 351 00:31:48,088 --> 00:31:56,054 third party agreed with our study as well. Um, As far as the exhibits 352 00:31:56,054 --> 00:32:01,092 that you requested as well, Ms. Walker, I did just forward those to Mr. McBath and 353 00:32:01,092 --> 00:32:08,359 uh PJ as well. Um, we talked about them in person, we didn't send them in, so I apologize 354 00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:12,239 for not bringing those with me tonight. Um, I don't know if they're able to access 355 00:32:12,239 --> 00:32:19,079 their email, um, but, um, we can definitely provide those after, but it indicates 356 00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:22,092 what you're describing. It's probably about 50 to 60 ft of grade that goes from one 357 00:32:22,092 --> 00:32:28,016 side to the other. Um, and then as far as the geotech, as you mentioned, I'm not 358 00:32:28,016 --> 00:32:33,003 really sure what a. Geotech compliance report, it looks like either. I assume it's 359 00:32:33,003 --> 00:32:36,739 gonna be a plan of how we're addressing those thoughts and making sure that I don't 360 00:32:36,739 --> 00:32:42,229 think Habitat or anyone else wants to be responsible for homes that settle and um 361 00:32:42,229 --> 00:32:47,589 end up with a bad problem and it truly, it's a really challenging scenario to deal 362 00:32:47,589 --> 00:32:53,869 with, right? Um So, what we are tentatively proposing is to essentially dig out through 363 00:32:53,869 --> 00:32:58,091 those lot lines. Um, I had an exhibit that I also forward in that same email with 364 00:32:58,091 --> 00:33:04,589 this, but it's, um, essentially they run a strip to take that down and then rebuild 365 00:33:04,589 --> 00:33:10,028 it back up. Um, and I imagine in that compliance report, we would be looking at, 366 00:33:10,589 --> 00:33:16,949 uh, testing frequencies that either lifts or, um, Different areas so that we can 367 00:33:16,949 --> 00:33:21,051 verify that this actually does get put back in a good place. So, um, if there are 368 00:33:21,051 --> 00:33:25,829 any other questions, I'm happy to answer, but I appreciate uh everyone's time. Thank 369 00:33:25,829 --> 00:33:28,081 you. Thank you, Mr. Brodie. 370 00:33:43,099 --> 00:33:49,729 Get this one. Hi, I'm Naomi Valentine, uh, 197 Cottage Drive. I live near the site 371 00:33:50,339 --> 00:33:55,015 of the proposed Birchwood mixed-income residential development. I'm here today both 372 00:33:55,015 --> 00:33:59,051 as a nearby resident and as someone who works for NeighborWorks Montana, a statewide 373 00:33:59,051 --> 00:34:03,939 nonprofit focused on expanding access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. From 374 00:34:03,939 --> 00:34:08,169 both perspectives, I strongly support this project. Kalispell needs more attainable 375 00:34:08,169 --> 00:34:12,709 homes for working families, and Habitat for Humanity has a long proven track record 376 00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:16,729 of delivering permanently affordable housing that strengthens neighborhoods over 377 00:34:16,729 --> 00:34:20,061 generations. Their mixed-use proposal adds thoughtfully designed homes and community 378 00:34:20,061 --> 00:34:25,149 space in a location that already has nearby infrastructure, services, and connectivity. 379 00:34:25,499 --> 00:34:29,168 As someone born and raised in Kalispell, I want to emphasize how important infill 380 00:34:29,168 --> 00:34:33,658 development is for Kalispell's long-term health. Annexing and zoning this development 381 00:34:33,658 --> 00:34:37,979 into the existing footprint is more sustainable, more fiscally responsible, and far 382 00:34:37,979 --> 00:34:42,618 better for preserving the farmland and open spaces that surround our community. Infill 383 00:34:42,618 --> 00:34:46,358 uses existing roads and utilities, reduces sprawl, and keeps us growing in a way 384 00:34:46,658 --> 00:34:51,178 that still protects the character and agricultural heritage of our valley. As someone 385 00:34:51,178 --> 00:34:55,178 who lives close by and someone who works everyday on housing solutions for Montana, 386 00:34:55,259 --> 00:34:59,259 I believe this project is exactly the kind of responsible community-focused development 387 00:34:59,259 --> 00:35:04,032 Kalispell needs. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Mr. Aldentine. 388 00:35:15,054 --> 00:35:23,008 James Thompson, 144 Northland Drive. Are you kidding me? 1000 389 00:35:23,008 --> 00:35:29,659 more vehicle trips per day on Northland Drive. And that does not include construction 390 00:35:29,659 --> 00:35:37,062 traffic. Based on the phasing plan, this is going to go on for years. This subdivision 391 00:35:37,062 --> 00:35:42,929 should not be approved without a northern connection to Four Mile Drive. The amount 392 00:35:42,929 --> 00:35:50,199 of construction traffic for development will be staggering. The amount of soil that 393 00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:56,028 needs to be hauled in and out is probably going to be 3 times that of a normal subdivision 394 00:35:56,028 --> 00:36:03,032 based on. Digging out, recompacting. The load of the trucks will destroy Northland 395 00:36:03,032 --> 00:36:08,056 Drive, let alone the dust and dirt created by the construction traffic. I just lived, 396 00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:14,084 I'm living through phase 5 of Northland right now, and I can assure you the dirt 397 00:36:14,084 --> 00:36:19,919 and the filth of that development has been awful, and this is going to go on all 398 00:36:19,919 --> 00:36:21,006 the way up Northland Drive. 399 00:36:23,025 --> 00:36:29,002 The connection only requires an additional 250 ft of roadway if the proposed second 400 00:36:29,002 --> 00:36:35,001 access is deleted. There's no topographic constraint to the north for a connection 401 00:36:35,001 --> 00:36:41,129 to 4 Mile Drive, and the connection should only be about 500 ft. The phasing plan 402 00:36:41,129 --> 00:36:43,409 could be adjusted to accommodate the connection. 403 00:36:48,036 --> 00:36:54,909 The property owner to the north. His Touchmark LLC of of Beaverton, Oregon. 404 00:36:55,919 --> 00:37:01,032 This access would also benefit their property for future development. Habitat should 405 00:37:01,032 --> 00:37:06,739 at least pursue this opportunity, as it would be of great benefit to both properties. 406 00:37:07,399 --> 00:37:12,032 Habitat's nonprofit status could be a great advantage to both parties in creating 407 00:37:12,032 --> 00:37:18,007 the connection. The intersection of 4 Mile Drive and Northland Drive also needs to 408 00:37:18,007 --> 00:37:24,083 be improved, as is as an initial requirement for a left turn lane, improved right-turn 409 00:37:24,083 --> 00:37:29,035 lane. When turning right off a 4-mile Drive, you need to swing way right because 410 00:37:29,035 --> 00:37:36,629 of the way the road was constructed several years ago. City of Kalispell should not 411 00:37:36,629 --> 00:37:42,035 just roll over and approve this subdivision because it's habitat for humanity. These 412 00:37:42,035 --> 00:37:47,489 are critical conditions and are essential to protect property values, safety, and 413 00:37:47,489 --> 00:37:51,129 livability of all existing and new property owners. 414 00:37:54,379 --> 00:38:01,659 At the very least. Kalispell should require Habitat for Humanity to secure access 415 00:38:01,659 --> 00:38:08,159 from Four Mile Drive for all site improvement construction traffic. This is not an 416 00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:14,026 impossibility, and it has not even been discussed and should be pursued. Finally, 417 00:38:14,034 --> 00:38:18,054 I would like to say that this application makes no sense when you're trying to build 418 00:38:18,054 --> 00:38:24,012 affordable housing. Even if the property was purchased at a discounted amount, all 419 00:38:24,012 --> 00:38:29,949 of the development costs will be significantly higher due to the adverse soil conditions. 420 00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:36,084 The cost of roads, utilities, structural foundations will all be considerably a higher 421 00:38:36,084 --> 00:38:43,028 price. It just doesn't make sense to move on to a seventeen-foot landfill and try 422 00:38:43,028 --> 00:38:47,919 to build affordable housing. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Thompson. 423 00:38:55,007 --> 00:39:00,001 My name is Wayne Priest. I live at 453 Northridge Drive. Been there for 14 years, 424 00:39:00,011 --> 00:39:04,909 and there wasn't anybody else there when we got there in that area. So I watched 425 00:39:04,909 --> 00:39:12,879 it all grow, all develop over these last 14 years. Um, Just where the, the 426 00:39:12,879 --> 00:39:19,084 state started dumping all of the dugout dirt, what was, that was removed to build 427 00:39:19,084 --> 00:39:26,189 the bypass. That, that whole land, everything on that land that was on that map was 428 00:39:26,189 --> 00:39:34,051 marshy, swampy, boggy area. From my house that's just uh 3 houses away 429 00:39:34,051 --> 00:39:41,229 from where uh 4 mile or where uh uh Northridge Drive ended, those houses flooded 430 00:39:41,229 --> 00:39:46,949 out or not, there were no houses there, but the land was flooding out every year 431 00:39:46,949 --> 00:39:53,011 with just mild snow melt and, and rain. So when they built those last 3 houses before 432 00:39:53,011 --> 00:40:00,379 Northland, Uh, went past and around it. They had to haul in all kinds of dirt to 433 00:40:00,379 --> 00:40:05,979 bring that up to, so at least those houses in their basements and crawl spaces wouldn't 434 00:40:05,979 --> 00:40:13,739 flood out. I watched almost uh every day, all the dirt being hauled in from where 435 00:40:13,739 --> 00:40:18,058 they were digging out the bypass. There was no compaction there at all. They just 436 00:40:18,058 --> 00:40:23,062 dumped the dirt, rolled on, dumped the dirt, rolled on for months and months. So 437 00:40:23,062 --> 00:40:29,969 that was being dumped on top of the boggy. Uh, marshy, swampy land that's underneath 438 00:40:29,969 --> 00:40:34,649 there. So there is some, you know, I didn't understand any of this technological, 439 00:40:34,729 --> 00:40:39,649 geological stuff, but it sounded pretty important. And I'm assuming that there's 440 00:40:39,649 --> 00:40:45,209 gonna be a lot of trouble and a lot of work to get that land buildable because it's 441 00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:52,052 just, I mean, there's what? He said 17 ft of fill that they put in there, and underneath 442 00:40:52,052 --> 00:40:58,739 there, it was bogged way down to fill in. And uh that would be a, a considerable, 443 00:40:58,084 --> 00:41:05,008 uh Uh, project to undertake, I'm sure. The traffic that goes 444 00:41:05,008 --> 00:41:11,179 around there. Uh, of course, that road wasn't even there, and there was no road that 445 00:41:11,179 --> 00:41:16,939 went up and over the hill to meet up with Four Mile Drive. Uh, but now that that 446 00:41:16,939 --> 00:41:21,449 traffic was opened up and that, what used to be a dead-end cul-de-sac at the time, 447 00:41:21,699 --> 00:41:27,459 the traffic that's driving that now is just insane because people come up the hill 448 00:41:27,459 --> 00:41:31,086 heading south, they come down into what used to be that old cul-de-sac and turn west 449 00:41:31,086 --> 00:41:36,459 to come down the little round hill. People drive that like it's uh the Grand Prix. 450 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:40,087 And they come screeching around that old cul-de-sac. They come down right past where 451 00:41:40,087 --> 00:41:47,379 this big, big primary road, access road to this whole development's going to be. 452 00:41:47,909 --> 00:41:53,429 And uh they're driving 35, 45 miles an hour. Now, I'm not sure just because there's 453 00:41:53,429 --> 00:41:58,027 a lot more houses and a lot more traffic, people are gonna slow down to make room 454 00:41:58,027 --> 00:42:05,001 for all of that. The second approach down closer to the bypass there, uh, that's 455 00:42:05,001 --> 00:42:11,459 just going into an alley and, and a walk path for the bypass. And uh to have that 456 00:42:11,459 --> 00:42:18,026 connected and become one of the principal. Uh, secondary access and egress for that, 457 00:42:18,489 --> 00:42:23,479 uh, seems to me to be not well thought through because there's not gonna be any room 458 00:42:23,479 --> 00:42:28,006 or space to provide room for that kind of traffic coming down through that far western 459 00:42:28,006 --> 00:42:34,032 approach. So neither one of those approaches really are uh ideal for this kind of 460 00:42:34,032 --> 00:42:40,078 larger project. Um, glad to see, uh, Habitat for Humanity reaching out and building, 461 00:42:40,081 --> 00:42:46,169 and I hope they can solve some of these problems in order to accomplish their goals 462 00:42:46,169 --> 00:42:47,009 and purposes. 463 00:42:49,959 --> 00:42:50,057 Thank you. 464 00:43:03,929 --> 00:43:10,879 Hi. My name is Mary Beth Morand. I'm the director of Habitat for Humanity of Flathead 465 00:43:10,879 --> 00:43:17,034 Valley, 2535 Highway 93 South. Thank you for this opportunity to speak. 466 00:43:18,076 --> 00:43:23,032 Um, although tonight's discussion is largely a technical review, I would like to 467 00:43:23,032 --> 00:43:28,026 take this opportunity to make public comment on the purpose and intent of Birchwood, 468 00:43:28,084 --> 00:43:33,028 our proposed development, especially in the news of the day, uh, the two articles 469 00:43:33,028 --> 00:43:39,008 in The Daily Interlake, one being that, uh, Kalispell leads Montana in population 470 00:43:39,008 --> 00:43:46,031 growth. And secondly, um, the article that couples Habitat for Humanity with the 471 00:43:46,031 --> 00:43:51,005 Mack Development Project. Um, the first article points to something that we all know, 472 00:43:51,669 --> 00:43:56,479 we need more housing because we're growing very fast. Or the second article points 473 00:43:56,479 --> 00:44:00,879 to the fact that there are very different types of housing that the community needs. 474 00:44:02,219 --> 00:44:06,959 Thus, I feel compelled to remind the community and the commission that Birchwood, 475 00:44:07,459 --> 00:44:13,005 the proposed housing subdivision for Habitat Flathead, is developing something that 476 00:44:13,005 --> 00:44:19,026 is not at all similar to the low-income project on Appleway Drive. Birchwood is a 477 00:44:19,026 --> 00:44:26,699 mixed-income homeowner-occupied only. Development and it is in compliance as you 478 00:44:26,699 --> 00:44:31,078 saw tonight with all of the land use regulations and it is below the maximum density 479 00:44:31,078 --> 00:44:38,659 reg regulations and none of those properties will be tax exempt. Birchwood is being 480 00:44:38,659 --> 00:44:43,054 co-built with two of the current neighboring builders in Northridge, Westcraft Homes, 481 00:44:43,699 --> 00:44:50,002 Iron Star Construction, and Student-Built Homes, who are all deeply staked in this 482 00:44:50,002 --> 00:44:55,001 area of Kalispell and will protect their current investment by ensuring that Birchwood 483 00:44:55,001 --> 00:45:01,479 is the most attractive, livable, and viable subdivision possible. In other words, 484 00:45:01,659 --> 00:45:06,699 our business partners are amongst the last people who want to bring down the comps 485 00:45:06,699 --> 00:45:14,399 or livability of this neighborhood at large. I also just want to remind people about 486 00:45:14,399 --> 00:45:20,062 the reasons why Habitat Flat has, has chosen to co-build with private sector partners. 487 00:45:21,429 --> 00:45:28,011 Habitat only serves households at 80% of area median income. And currently, that 488 00:45:28,011 --> 00:45:35,035 means for a two-person household, uh, a household income of about $65,000 or a four-person 489 00:45:35,035 --> 00:45:41,055 household of about $82,000. We realize that the need for affordable housing goes 490 00:45:41,055 --> 00:45:48,027 beyond people at 80% of area median income, AMI. In fact, even households making 491 00:45:48,027 --> 00:45:53,083 as much as 200% of AMI are having a really hard time getting into homes because of 492 00:45:53,083 --> 00:45:59,027 high home prices, because wages have not kept up with housing prices, and because 493 00:45:59,027 --> 00:46:04,189 it has become almost impossible for aspiring homeowners to save for down payments 494 00:46:04,189 --> 00:46:09,459 at today's home prices. And because of relatively high interest rates, that mean 495 00:46:09,459 --> 00:46:15,139 a lot of people aren't being qualified at 6.5% or 7%, whereas they would have easily 496 00:46:15,139 --> 00:46:17,028 been qualified at 4 or 5%. 497 00:46:19,679 --> 00:46:24,032 Habitat Flathead has worked out a way for our private sector partners to afford to 498 00:46:24,032 --> 00:46:29,005 build by affordably selling them lots on a property that we bought at a discount. 499 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:36,209 We are dedicated to the idea of making affordable housing affordable to build with 500 00:46:36,209 --> 00:46:42,028 our partners. Also, we see housing as a socioeconomic problem that has affected the 501 00:46:42,028 --> 00:46:47,489 stability of our community and our valley's households. Habitat Flathead believes 502 00:46:47,489 --> 00:46:51,889 the answer to that problem would be the creation of an integrated neighborhood where 503 00:46:51,889 --> 00:46:57,033 homeowners are not stigmatized or labeled, but instead have found affordable homeownership 504 00:46:57,033 --> 00:47:04,449 near schools, parks and recreation, bike paths, and other well-established safe neighborhoods. 505 00:47:06,169 --> 00:47:12,129 Thirdly, Habitat can only build about 20 houses a year because of the sweat equity 506 00:47:12,129 --> 00:47:20,001 requirements of our homeowners and a volunteer-based model. So As the 507 00:47:20,001 --> 00:47:25,969 first article in the paper about Kalispell's growth points to, we need more than 508 00:47:25,969 --> 00:47:32,081 20 houses a year, and that's all we can provide as habitat. We need to scale up rapidly 509 00:47:32,081 --> 00:47:36,889 and that's why we are building with private sector builders so that this doesn't 510 00:47:36,889 --> 00:47:41,057 go on for years and years, but that we can actually build it out and that it's an 511 00:47:41,057 --> 00:47:48,011 integrated neighborhood, mixed income and considered. Um, there are 3 last things 512 00:47:48,011 --> 00:47:52,709 that I'd like to remind you of. One is, and I don't know if I've brought this up 513 00:47:52,709 --> 00:47:58,189 before, but we've always wanted access to Four Mile. We've asked the landowner. I 514 00:47:58,189 --> 00:48:02,949 have documentation of it. If there's any way we could get it, we would love to have 515 00:48:02,949 --> 00:48:10,003 it. Um, secondly, we already have indications that we will continue to have 516 00:48:10,699 --> 00:48:16,699 significant in-kind donations that make it affordable for us to develop this property. 517 00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:23,008 Frankly, only a nonprofit can, that can get significant donations can afford to develop 518 00:48:23,008 --> 00:48:28,075 this property. Other than that, you, the only ones who have deep enough pockets to 519 00:48:28,075 --> 00:48:34,959 develop a property like that is someone like, who's in an apartment building. Builder. 520 00:48:35,659 --> 00:48:40,026 They're the only other ones. Uh, a normal developer probably could not develop this. 521 00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:49,219 And thirdly, I would like to say that. Habitat for Humanity is in large part fueled 522 00:48:49,219 --> 00:48:54,919 by contributions that come from this community. And as executive director of Habitat 523 00:48:54,919 --> 00:49:01,052 for Humanity, I take that very seriously. And I would not squander or waste any donation. 524 00:49:02,078 --> 00:49:08,899 That has been given to us. And when people give us money, I always know that they 525 00:49:08,899 --> 00:49:13,219 may be giving us that money so their household does without other things, either 526 00:49:13,219 --> 00:49:18,087 their kids or their grandkids. And I take the stewardship of all of those donations 527 00:49:18,087 --> 00:49:24,033 for the development of this property and anything that Habitat does very seriously. 528 00:49:24,087 --> 00:49:30,087 So, thank you for reviewing our application and thank you for helping us develop 529 00:49:30,087 --> 00:49:33,005 it responsibly and economically. 530 00:49:35,939 --> 00:49:36,005 Thank you. 531 00:49:44,033 --> 00:49:49,053 Kim Morisaki, um, executive Director of Northwest Montana Community Land Trust. I 532 00:49:49,053 --> 00:49:56,057 live at 1329 Bald Eagle Loop in Kalispell. Excuse me, I just want to give a brief, 533 00:49:56,083 --> 00:50:03,078 uh, support for this project. Um, Northwest Montana Community Land Trust and Habitat 534 00:50:03,078 --> 00:50:11,005 have been in partnership for Nearly 2 years now, I believe. Excuse me. We are 535 00:50:11,005 --> 00:50:17,959 working together to build some uh habitat homes on property that was donated to the 536 00:50:17,959 --> 00:50:22,139 land trust in Columbia Falls. We've worked together here in Kalispell. We're very 537 00:50:22,139 --> 00:50:27,219 excited about this as well. One of the extra benefits of this project, once it is 538 00:50:27,219 --> 00:50:33,439 actually built, is the MOU between The land trust and habitat, that the homes that 539 00:50:33,439 --> 00:50:40,006 are built by Habitat will in fact continue to be affordable in perpetuity because 540 00:50:40,399 --> 00:50:44,028 the land trust will have first right of refusal to purchase them and put them into 541 00:50:44,028 --> 00:50:48,011 the land trust. And for those of you who don't understand how the land trust works, 542 00:50:48,036 --> 00:50:54,004 um, it's an organization. That was actually started by the city of Kalispell and 543 00:50:54,036 --> 00:50:59,719 um the way that we are able to make homes affordable is we take the land price out 544 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,679 of the purchase of the home, so people can own the home, lease the land underneath 545 00:51:04,679 --> 00:51:12,199 it for $25 with a 75 year transferable and renewable lease. The homes are their homes, 546 00:51:12,028 --> 00:51:19,199 they're not renters. And um They have to get a mortgage just like anybody else, and 547 00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:23,979 their children can inherit the home or they can sell it. Um, so, the homes have a, 548 00:51:24,058 --> 00:51:31,054 have a way of, um, being retaining affordability. We actually go up to 140% area 549 00:51:31,054 --> 00:51:37,219 median income. So, any homes that are built in habitat by habitat in this neighborhood 550 00:51:37,219 --> 00:51:43,639 are likely to remain affordable forever. Um, also, the land trust would be very interested 551 00:51:43,639 --> 00:51:49,719 in purchasing land and having private developers build a few land trust houses mixed 552 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:55,179 into this neighborhood as well, further diversifying the mixed income housing, which, 553 00:51:55,008 --> 00:52:00,054 I mean, we have to admit that mixed-income housing is, is the best option. It's what 554 00:52:00,959 --> 00:52:06,061 the east and west side of Kalispell is, is mixed income housing and um And that's 555 00:52:06,061 --> 00:52:11,949 makes for healthy neighborhoods and healthy uh communities. So, I just wanna say, 556 00:52:12,129 --> 00:52:18,409 I'm um very confident in the engineering abilities of, of our engineers in this valley 557 00:52:18,409 --> 00:52:23,025 to work out the geotechnical situation. The parking in the neighborhood looks just 558 00:52:23,025 --> 00:52:28,949 like The neighborhoods that we already own homes in on Barren Avenue or Barren Way 559 00:52:28,949 --> 00:52:33,085 and um over in Empire Loop looks very similar and we'd be happy to be neighbors there 560 00:52:34,003 --> 00:52:36,909 with other people there. So, I hope you support it. Thank you. 561 00:52:39,026 --> 00:52:39,086 Thank you. 562 00:52:51,007 --> 00:52:57,989 Ryan Soika, I'm currently homeless. My last uh physical address was 820 East Idaho, 563 00:52:58,189 --> 00:53:03,035 which is known as Parkline Apartments, which I know is a great measure of your current 564 00:53:03,035 --> 00:53:10,034 growth program uh with the city. And uh so, I'm just gonna plead the first here, 565 00:53:10,959 --> 00:53:16,002 uh, and give you a little bit of peace of my mind. Um, I had a very bad experience 566 00:53:16,399 --> 00:53:23,001 when I moved in that apartment. I was the 2nd tenant at the 820 location. And they 567 00:53:23,001 --> 00:53:29,629 played the race card on me. They hung me up on the 4th floor of this apartment. And 568 00:53:30,053 --> 00:53:34,449 Sitting there waiting, they weren't doing any work, it was like no good, you know, 569 00:53:34,053 --> 00:53:39,909 the whole apartment wasn't changing. Um, until they played the race card on me, so 570 00:53:39,909 --> 00:53:44,709 I ended up paying off my lease and getting out of there. I moved here in Montana 571 00:53:44,709 --> 00:53:49,077 after being born and raised in Central Minnesota, Saint Cloud. I watched a lot of 572 00:53:49,077 --> 00:53:55,032 things change in that state, uh, during my life there. Um, 573 00:53:57,056 --> 00:54:04,449 Moved south for Texas for 7 years, came back up and had enough of the, the uh. Endless 574 00:54:04,449 --> 00:54:08,081 road construction and litter everywhere in Texas, so I thought this would be a good 575 00:54:08,081 --> 00:54:14,699 place for me to start life, got a job, uh, apartment lasted for about a month. Uh, 576 00:54:14,879 --> 00:54:20,679 so I do have a little bit of, uh, heat on my mind. I'm just gonna share a little 577 00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:26,649 bit of it if you could, uh, bear with me for a second. Uh, first, I think common 578 00:54:26,649 --> 00:54:32,001 sense just says to me that building these houses does not accomplish anything. What 579 00:54:32,001 --> 00:54:38,057 it's doing is setting an agenda. Uh, the people who in Kalispell now who are poor 580 00:54:38,989 --> 00:54:42,051 can't afford any of these houses. When you look at what, how much they're going to 581 00:54:42,051 --> 00:54:46,949 be charging for these houses, and you look at the actual state that they weren't 582 00:54:46,949 --> 00:54:52,679 taking. Into account when they made these figures, these houses are not going to 583 00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:57,026 be for poor people, they're going to be for foreigners. That's just the way it is. 584 00:54:57,689 --> 00:54:59,034 Uh, so, 585 00:55:01,149 --> 00:55:07,949 Uh, as far as uh. And like I say, it's not about racism, it's not about class warfare, 586 00:55:08,008 --> 00:55:12,002 it's about culture and right from wrong. Uh. 587 00:55:14,209 --> 00:55:18,077 I did do a little bit of investigation and all I can say is don't let the Habitat 588 00:55:18,077 --> 00:55:24,087 for Humanity website or the uh Whitefish Credit Union website fool you. Uh, these 589 00:55:25,879 --> 00:55:31,083 organizations have an agenda. Uh, and, uh, Like I say, when you look at Minnesota, 590 00:55:31,087 --> 00:55:36,169 the state's upside down. I left before they changed their state flag. There's 20 591 00:55:36,169 --> 00:55:43,389 city councils that are approved flying the old state flag in Minnesota. And when 592 00:55:43,389 --> 00:55:49,006 you look at that flag, it looks just like Montana's flag does now. That state is 593 00:55:49,006 --> 00:55:54,032 upside down just like their flag is, and I recommend that Kalispell, Montana not 594 00:55:54,054 --> 00:55:59,008 go the same route that they did because I went through it. Nobody said anything. 595 00:55:59,379 --> 00:56:03,899 They just watched it happen or they thought somebody else is, is dealing with the 596 00:56:03,899 --> 00:56:08,939 details. There's nobody else dealing with the details. These, these organizations 597 00:56:08,939 --> 00:56:13,034 are like wolves in sheep's clothing coming in here and they're, what they're, they're 598 00:56:13,034 --> 00:56:18,989 selling your face down the river is what they're doing. You should know that. Uh 599 00:56:20,389 --> 00:56:27,009 So Um, Like I say, I'll just reiterate, reiterate. 600 00:56:27,939 --> 00:56:34,149 These programs are not about giving the serving the poor in Calisville. They're about 601 00:56:34,149 --> 00:56:41,989 importing an agenda of cultural change, and it should be known, um. Just say no 602 00:56:41,989 --> 00:56:48,026 way, not in my backyard. It's all I can say. Thank you, sir. 603 00:57:02,034 --> 00:57:08,061 Hello. My name is Kesa Davison. I live at 312 6th Avenue East in Kalispell. Um, I'm 604 00:57:08,061 --> 00:57:13,061 also the owner operator of Iron Star Construction, which is one of Habitat's private 605 00:57:13,061 --> 00:57:18,209 sector partners in Birchwood. Um, Jeff Wilson, thank you so much for your comments 606 00:57:18,209 --> 00:57:24,209 and also Kim and uh Marybeth also explained why these partnerships matter so much 607 00:57:24,209 --> 00:57:29,129 in our community. I want to briefly explain what makes this model workable for a 608 00:57:29,129 --> 00:57:34,479 private builder. The answer is predictable lot inventory. My family and I have been 609 00:57:34,479 --> 00:57:41,199 building homes in Kalispell for 19 years. Um, to produce those home those homes consistently, 610 00:57:41,028 --> 00:57:45,006 we have to know three things. How many lots will be available, when they will be 611 00:57:45,006 --> 00:57:50,979 ready, and what they will cost. And that certainty allows us to not only plan the 612 00:57:50,979 --> 00:57:56,459 home designs and the pricing, retain our subcontractors, make commitments on supplies, 613 00:57:56,082 --> 00:58:01,062 and coordinate those suppliers, but we also can then create a steady pipeline of 614 00:58:01,062 --> 00:58:07,005 homes for this community. The benefit to Ironstar and to the other private partners 615 00:58:07,005 --> 00:58:12,699 in this uh development is not ever a guaranteed profit as much as I would like for 616 00:58:12,699 --> 00:58:18,709 that to be true. It is the opportunity to participate in a multi-year pipeline of 617 00:58:18,709 --> 00:58:23,083 lots within a mixed-income homeowner occupied neighborhood. That's the kind of neighborhood 618 00:58:23,083 --> 00:58:27,949 that is good for my business, it's good for our community, and it's good for the 619 00:58:27,949 --> 00:58:34,469 future of that neighborhood. Existing homes included. I've built 8, we're working 620 00:58:34,469 --> 00:58:41,229 on 6 more of the town homes just down the road on Northridge Drive. But predictable 621 00:58:41,229 --> 00:58:47,229 inventory does require a predictable approval process. We heard very helpful clarification 622 00:58:47,229 --> 00:58:52,007 tonight about traffic studies and we also heard that the independent third-party 623 00:58:52,007 --> 00:58:58,449 review generally agrees with WTM's initial analysis. As Birchwood moves into subdivision 624 00:58:58,449 --> 00:59:03,455 and then. Engineering review, we ask that this kind of clarity carried forward. Builders 625 00:59:03,455 --> 00:59:08,334 can engineer and price known requirements. We cannot responsibly plan around substantial 626 00:59:08,334 --> 00:59:13,334 obligations that remain undefined until after the fundraising, after the preliminary 627 00:59:13,334 --> 00:59:17,655 approvals, after the pricing, and all those construction commitments can be made. 628 00:59:18,035 --> 00:59:22,989 Something will be built on this property. It's included in the footprint where Kalispell 629 00:59:22,989 --> 00:59:28,003 as a city has agreed it will grow. The question is what kind of housing will be, 630 00:59:28,189 --> 00:59:32,989 will this process make possible. A higher density project can spread infrastructure 631 00:59:32,989 --> 00:59:38,061 costs across many more units. This 95 home ownership model cannot do that without 632 00:59:38,061 --> 00:59:44,031 increasing the cost of each lot in home and thereby jeopardizing the feasibility 633 00:59:44,031 --> 00:59:49,083 of this project. Predictable lot inventory requires predictable housing production. 634 00:59:50,025 --> 00:59:54,489 Certainty gives Habitat and us as one of the partners, the ability to control those 635 00:59:54,489 --> 00:59:59,029 costs and deliver more attainable homes. I strongly support the approval of Birchwood 636 00:59:59,029 --> 01:00:04,689 PUD and a clear predictable path into the next stage. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Davidson. 637 01:00:12,075 --> 01:00:13,081 Any more public comment? 638 01:00:19,729 --> 01:00:23,033 One more time. Anyone online? 639 01:00:25,469 --> 01:00:32,669 No comment. Uh, with that, I'm gonna close public comment on this agenda item and 640 01:00:32,669 --> 01:00:37,989 look to the board for a motion on the annexation first. Correct, PJ. 641 01:00:40,003 --> 01:00:41,075 Motion on the annexation first. 642 01:00:52,031 --> 01:00:52,429 my dog. 643 01:00:57,639 --> 01:01:04,699 I move to approve file KA 26-01 uh 644 01:01:05,008 --> 01:01:08,085 for request for annexation and initial zoning to R3. 645 01:01:12,919 --> 01:01:20,025 Seconded. It's been moved and seconded. Uh, any discussion from the board on annexation? 646 01:01:26,036 --> 01:01:33,012 Seems pretty straightforward to me. Yeah, it's within the growth boundary. 647 01:01:37,058 --> 01:01:40,006 No more discussion. Rocco, please. 648 01:01:44,389 --> 01:01:52,008 Emmett Van Allen Yeah. Cody Hunter, yes, Kate Walker, Dustin 649 01:01:52,008 --> 01:01:59,739 Leftridge, yes, Rory Young, hi. Motion passes. I would look to the commission for 650 01:01:59,739 --> 01:02:02,054 a motion on the PUD. 651 01:02:09,669 --> 01:02:10,076 gonna make me do everything. 652 01:02:13,036 --> 01:02:21,008 I move to approve application KPUD 26-01 for planned unit development 653 01:02:21,008 --> 01:02:28,036 overlay and planned unit development approval for the Birchwood PUD. Second. 654 01:02:30,084 --> 01:02:36,199 We have motion in a second. Any discussion from the board on the PUD. 655 01:02:39,959 --> 01:02:40,036 Um. 656 01:02:45,459 --> 01:02:51,078 Seeing none, ready to move forward. Morocco, please. 657 01:02:54,011 --> 01:03:01,061 Dustin Lethbridge, yes, Emmett Van Allen, yes, Kate Walker, yes, Cody Hunter, no, 658 01:03:02,011 --> 01:03:03,051 Rory Young, all right. 659 01:03:05,719 --> 01:03:13,000 Motion passes, uh, so both of those items will go to City council. August 3rd, August 660 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:20,719 3rd, if you. Um. Still have things on your mind, you're welcome to 661 01:03:21,139 --> 01:03:27,129 bring them to City council, August 3rd. Uh, with that, I'm gonna close our public 662 01:03:27,129 --> 01:03:33,077 hearing for this evening and move into old business. So, old business, the only item 663 01:03:33,077 --> 01:03:37,739 we had at the last meeting was the work session on this project. Uh, so nothing had 664 01:03:37,739 --> 01:03:45,699 gone to council, uh, so nothing to report on that end. OK. New business. So 665 01:03:45,699 --> 01:03:51,001 new business. We hadn't received any applications in this month. Um, and so because 666 01:03:51,002 --> 01:03:56,459 of that, we won't be having a meeting, um, in August, uh, so you can take that as 667 01:03:56,459 --> 01:04:00,078 part of your summer break, I guess. Um, so right now, the next scheduled meeting 668 01:04:00,078 --> 01:04:05,062 would be actually Wednesday, September 9th, uh, because it comes at the end of Labor 669 01:04:05,062 --> 01:04:10,086 Day and City council bumps Tuesday and you guys will move to Wednesday. So, uh, next 670 01:04:10,086 --> 01:04:16,025 scheduled meeting would be Wednesday, September 9th. Assuming we get an application 671 01:04:16,005 --> 01:04:18,051 in during the month. 672 01:04:21,219 --> 01:04:25,179 Anything from the board, commission? I'll get it right one day. 673 01:04:28,028 --> 01:04:32,057 No, nothing. OK. We adjourn.
