KALISPELL, Mont. - Fisheries biologists made a surprising discovery in a pair of northwest Montana lakes, and the information is shedding light on the distribution of a rare native fish
The developers of Tara Park Estate have lodged plans this month to Livingstone Shire Council for 23 news lots at their Taranganba subdivision.
The new stages, stage A (realignment), stage B, stage 10B1, stage 10B2 and stage 10C, are in Carbeen Drive, Banskia Place and Macranga Place.
The lots vary in size from 786m2 to 1122m2 and will be connected to town water and services.
Ross Creek runs along the western side of the subdivision in the neighbouring land.
The subdivision is mapped accordingly around the waterway and vegetation.
The new stages are connected to previous stages and provide for the full construction of Carbeen Drive linking to the residential subdivision to the south.

The beaches around the Jordanelle Reservoir have been growing and the grass appears to be receding farther from the waterline, the last 18 months of drought leaving a mark that can be plainly seen to drivers passing on S.R. 248 or U.S. 40.
Officials say the basin sits at 67% capacity and the spring runoff appears to be lower than expected, with the reservoir not predicted to hit 80% capacity this year.
That’s not the lowest the Jordanelle has been since it was filled in the mid-1990s, according to Paul Pierpont, the person who’s responsible for the reservoir’s operation and management. Pierpont said the reservoir has approached half capacity in the past.
