For want of more affordable housing the Flathead County Planning Board on Wednesday tabled the proposed Steamboat Landing subdivision, asking the developer to return with traffic mitigation measures so that it could support the project.
The proposed subdivision calls for 252 residential units made up of single-family residential lots and condominium lots on 63.79 acres adjacent to the Somers Middle School.
Several board members said they wanted to support the higher-density project located in an area where sewer and water services are available, but worried about the impact an estimated 2,200 new daily vehicle trips from the subdivision could have on roads leading from the subdivision that intersect with Montana 82.
