A proposal to build a 77-lot RV park near Columbia Falls in Montana goes before the Flathead County Planning Board for a public hearing on Dec. 13.
This story by Lynnette Hintze originally appeared on the Daily Inter Lake.
Property owners Robert and Geraldine Rupp are asking for preliminary plat approval to build Whispering Pines RV Park on 13 acres off Kinnikinnick Lane, a private road south of Montana 40. The park would include eight full-service spaces, 42 partial-service spaces and 27 primitive (no services) spaces.
The Rupps propose to establish a separate multiple-user water and sewer system to serve the RV park. The lots would be developed in two phases by the fall of 2023.
The property currently is developed with a home, shop and mobile home, which will be removed. The north section of the property is grassland, while the south section is forested.
The Columbia Falls Rural Fire Department will require Kinnikinnick Lane to be improved to a minimum width of 20 feet, exclusive of road shoulders, according to comments submitted by Fire Chief Rick Hagen.
A public hearing will be held on the RV park proposal.
