Council approves three land-use requests

Whitefish City Council last week approved three separate land-use requests for properties in town, including two small subdivisions.

Council approved a preliminary plat request from Dan Nelson for a four-lot subdivision called 736 Wisconsin Avenue subdivision located at the same address as the name. The property is currently undeveloped and zoned two-family residential.

Each lot would be sized to accommodate either a detached single-family home or a townhouse/duplex and would be accessed off East Marina Crest Drive.

The subdivision will be required to pay a fee-in-lieu of parkland dedication.

Council approved a request by Heather Burnham to convert an existing accessory structure into a guest house at 810 Colorado Ave.

The property includes a single-family residence and is zoned low-density multi-family residential. The structure to be converted into a guest house is located to the rear of the property behind an existing single-family home.

Council approved a request from Karen Bunker for a preliminary plat approval for a four-lot subdivision called Fulkerson Homestead on a currently undeveloped and zoned two-family residential property. The property, which is .6 acres in size, is located at the southwest corner of Sawtooth Drive and O’Brien Avenue.

The lots will range in size from about 6,300 to about 7,200 square feet in size. The density of the subdivision will be 6.67 dwelling units per acre.

Lots will have frontage and driveways along either O’Brien Avenue or Sawtooth Drive.

The subdivision will be required to pay a fee-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
