3. Resolution No. 2016-31 – Opposing Kenai Peninsula Borough Ordinance 2016-25
as Introduced, which Proposes to Reduce Borough Planning Commission
Membership and Eliminate the Designated Seat for the City of Kenai.
MOTION:
Council Member Knackstedt MOVED to adopt Resolution No. 2016-31 and the motion was
SECONDED by Councilor Molloy. UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested.
Vice Mayor Gabriel opened the public hearing.
Jim Glendening spoke in favor, noting the Commission’s duty to provide an informed perspective
on needs and land use issues, and advise the City Council and Borough Assembly. He also
noted that Alaska Statute, Title 29 indicated planning, platting and land use authority rested with
the boroughs pointing out that the Kenai Peninsula Borough retains the ultimate planning and
platting authority, though zoning and land use had been delegated to the City. He further noted
Page 13 of 75
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 4 of 9
July 6, 2016
that the population of Kenai and Soldotna combined, was over 20% of borough population and
over 35% of tax revenue, suggesting each City deserved representation.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, public comment was closed.
It was clarified that the effort to reduce the Planning Commission from thirteen to nine was
understandable, but the plan combined Soldotna and Kenai, while allowing Seward to retain its
seat was unfair representation.
It was suggested that because the borough was the platting authority, cities having zoning powers
should have representation on the Commission.
VOTE: There being no objections, SO ORDERED.
4. Resolution No. 2016-32 – Approving a Policy for the Sale of Ten Specific Airport
Owned Leased Lands with Substantial Constructed Leasehold Improvements.
MOTION:
Council Member Knackstedt MOVED to adopt Resolution No. 2016-32 and the motion was
SECONDED by Councilor Molloy.
Vice Mayor Gabriel opened the public hearing.
Donald Moffits noted he was supportive of transferring the properties to the entities that built the
structures as banks wouldn’t lend using leased property as collateral. He also asked if the
appraised value was a value the City put on the property or a private appraiser.
Sid Morris spoke in favor of the policy noting he had leased property from the City for over twenty
years. He also spoke in favor of an honest and fair process noting different rates being paid by
different leaseholders and purchasers.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
It was suggested that a lease value was more valuable to the City than a private person and noted
there was no requirement for leaseholders to leave the buildings on the properties.
It was noted that the policy had been requested due to several unsolicited offers being made
since the most recent appraisal and deserved thought. It was further noted that the City was
never obligated to sell at the end of the term of the leases.
There was also suggestion that airport reserve lands should be kept and not sold as there were
other methods for economic development than selling lands and selling the land was not in the
best interest of the City or its future. It was noted that putting the policy into place effectively
offered ten properties in spirit, though the resolution indicated it was not an offer for sale to
anyone.
MOTION:
Council Member Molloy MOVED to postpone to the next meeting and the motion was
SECONDED by Councilor Bookey.
