Commissioner Springer MOVED to approve Resolution No. PZ17-10 and Commissioner
Greenberg SECONDED the motion.
Commission Chair Twait opened the public hearing.
Greg Anderson spoke against the operation of the facility noting most of the residents in the area
were against it and that the use didn’t fit with the neighborhood; suggested there was no precedent
for the staff’s finding that the property values wouldn’t be affected.
Katherine Staskon explained that she had always had a passion for horticulture and the business
was an extension of that and being used to make money from home which the guides in the area
were also able to do. She pointed out that her business wouldn’t have walk up customers or
signage and it wouldn’t be visible from the street that the property was anything but a residence.
Ms. Staskon also provided an overview of her business plan and clarification on the state
regulations requiring the Conditional Use Permit, security, and testing.
Amber Buta, Staskon’s sister, spoke in favor of her sister’s endeavor pointing out that Alaskans
came together to allow for commercial marijuana; noted her sister was a responsible and reliable
person, was following the legally applicable processes, and seeking the permits to run her
business legally.
Debra Shuey spoke against the operation of the facility noting that she had testified in the past,
when the regulations were being developed, that the areas being allowed for commercial
marijuana needed to be thought about; expressed having a cultivation facility in her residential
area would be a worst case scenario. Also noted that she was of Baha’i faith, a religion that met
in homes and that youth walked the neighborhood streets; expressed concern for the security of
the neighborhood.
Aaron Langlois spoke in favor of the business noting that his internet based research on land
values in other states found that property values were not decreasing but increasing when in
proximity to marijuana establishments except warehouses, which did show a decrease; clarified
the business was a residential garage.
Helen Groeneveld expressed concern about the German Shepherd dogs that the business owner
mentioned having and wanted to know if they would be restrained as other residents in the
neighborhood walked their dogs. It was confirmed that the business owner would have proper
restraining for the dogs.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
It was clarified that the property met the 40,000 square foot requirement, but not required to as it
was a Cultivation Facility - Limited; no fencing required as the entire facility was enclosed; also
clarified that driveway easements were forever.
It was noted that the nature of the Conditional Use Permit was that if the conditions weren’t met,
the permit would go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and that the
permittee had to submit annual reports showing compliance.
Commissioner Springer noted the application appear to meet the criteria and would be voting in
favor.

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
Date: June 14, 2017 Res: PZ17-22
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Jay L. and Shirley G. Pettey
590 Dolchok Lane
Kenai, AK 99611
Submitted by: Integrity Surveys, Inc.
820 Set Net Dr.
Kenai, AK 99611
Requested Action: Original Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Thompson Park
Subdivision Pettey Replat
Existing Legal
Description: Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Thompson Park Subdivision
Proposed Legal
Description: Lot 1A, Block 3, Thompson Park Subdivision Pettey Replat
Street Address: 340 Thompson Place
KPB Parcel No.: 04907016
Existing Zoning: Limited Commercial (CL)
Current Land Use: Residence
Land Use Plan: Suburban Residential
ANALYSIS
The new plat vacates the property line between Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Thompson
Park Subdivision, The lot line vacation will result in the proposed Lot 1A, Block 3,
Thompson Park Subdivision Pettey Replat, containing approximately 23,057
square feet. The proposed lot meets the minimum lot size requirement of 12,500
square feet for the Limited Commercial zone. The reconfigured lot meets the
minimum lot width of 90 feet for the Suburban Residential zone. Thompson Place
road provides access to the proposed lot, which is a City maintained gravel road.
The residence located on the proposed lot is serviced by a private well and septic
system. Thus, an installation agreement will not be required.
The applicants wish to construct an approximately 422 square foot addition to the
existing residence, which is located on Lot 1, Block 3, Thompson Park
Subdivision.
Page 13 of 89
PZ17-22 Staff Report Page 2
The proposed addition would create a violation of Building Code and Kenai
Municipal Code 14.24.020 in that the building setback requirements would not be
met and the proposed addition would encroach across the property line between
Lots 1 and 2. The non-compliance with building set back requirements and the
encroachment would be resolved by the vacation of the property line between
Lots 1 and 2. The applicants have requested that they be allowed to begin
construction of the addition prior to the recordation of the proposed plat, which
vacates the property line. After discussions with the applicant; Planning
Administration and the Building Official have concluded that it is permissible to
allow the applicants to begin construction on the addition; however, a final
inspection of the premises will not be conducted until the plat has been recorded.
In the event that the proposed plat which vacates the property line between the
two lots is not recorded, any work that has been completed which does not
comply with KMC 14.24.020 and building code must be removed or altered in
order to comply with these codes.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning and Zoning staff recommend approval with the following
requirements:
a. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State
and local regulations.
b. The name of Shirley G. “Petter” should be corrected to reflect the correct
spelling of the applicant’s name.

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
Date: June 14, 2016 Res: PZ17-17
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives
3751 Sterling Hwy.
Homer, AK 99603
Requested Action: Conditional Use Permit – Six Family Dwelling Unit
Legal Description: Lot 2, Kenai Meadows
Street Address: Redoubt Avenue (the property will be addressed at such
time as construction begins on the project)
KPB Parcel No: 03901064
Existing Zoning: Rural Residential
Current Land Use: Vacant
Land Use Plan: Suburban Residential
ANALYSIS
General Information:
Kenai Municipal Code 22.05.125 allows the Council, by Ordinance, to donate
foreclosed real property that is no longer needed by the City for a public purpose, to
a non-profit corporation for consideration; agreed upon between the City and grantee
without a public sale if the devotion is advantageous to the City. Accordingly, the
Kenai City Council granted Ordinance No. 2899-2016 approving the donation of the
subject property to Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives. At such time as the donation
was approved, the property was subdivided into three parcels. The subject lot is
approximately 1.214 acres. The minimum lot size requirement for the Rural
Residential zone is 20,000.00 square feet; therefore, the subject lot meets the
minimum lot size requirement for the zone.
The property is located in the Rural Residential Zone which provides that a Five or
Six Family Dwelling is a conditional use; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit must be
granted prior to commencement of the construction of the six-unit apartment
community.
KMC 14.20.150 details the intent and application process for conditional uses. The
code also specifies the review criteria that must be satisfied prior to issuing the
permit. The criteria are:
Page 21 of 89
PZ17-17 Staff Report
Page 2
The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and
intent of the zoning district.
The RR Zone is intended to provide for low density residential development in
outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive
residential environment. The Land Use Table provides that a five or six-family
dwelling is a conditional use; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit must be
granted to construct a six unit apartment community in this zone.
The proposed six-unit apartment community will offer two, one-bed room
units; two, two-bedroom units; and two three-bedroom units.
Staff finds that the proposed six-unit apartment community meets the intent of
KMC14.20.150 and the intent of the Rural Residential Zoning District with
respect to the proposed use as a six-unit apartment community, given
compliance with the staff recommended specific conditions set forth below.
The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly
impaired.
The surrounding neighborhood consists of both single-family dwellings and
multi-family dwellings. There are currently two larger apartment complexes,
which front Redoubt Avenue. In addition, there is a detached four-plex located
on McKinley Avenue, which is accessed directly off Redoubt Avenue.
The applicant states that an independent market analysis performed by the
national firm Novagradac concluded the proposed development will offer
value in the market and not negatively impact the surrounding properties
It is the opinion of the staff that the six-unit apartment community will not
significantly impair the neighborhood, and therefore, recommends approval of
the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions as set forth below.
The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Suburban Residential,
which provides for single-family and multi-family residential uses that are
urban or suburban in character. The area will typically be development at a
higher density; lots are typically smaller; and public water and sewer are
required or planned.
There are three large subdivisions located along Redoubt Avenue; namely,
Woodland Subdivision, Inlet View Subdivision, and Mommsen’s Subdivision.
The subject lot is larger than a majority of the lots in these subdivisions; the
subject lot contains approximately 52,882 square feet, which is much larger
than the required minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet as required in the
Rural Residential Zoning District.

Water and sewer services are available along Redoubt Avenue. Redoubt
Avenue provides access to the proposed complex, which is a paved City
maintained road.

compatible with the neighborhood; and therefore, recommends approval of
the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions as set forth below.
Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
The properties located along Redoubt Avenue are serviced by water, sewer,
natural gas, electricity, and telephone services. Redoubt Avenue is a paved
road which is maintained by the City of Kenai. Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.250(b)(8) requires that there are two parking spaces available for each
unit for a total of 12 parking spaces. The attached site plan designates 12
parking spaces for residents and guests of the six-unit apartment community.
Staff finds that public services and facilities are adequate to serve the
proposed use; and therefore, recommends approval of the Conditional Use
Permit subject to the conditions as set forth below.
The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
The use of a six-unit apartment community will not be harmful to the public
safety, health and welfare.

unit apartment community. The applicant has provided the City with a site
plan, which indicates that there will be sufficient parking available for residents
and guests of the complex. Access to the complex will be provided by
Redoubt Avenue which is a City maintained paved road; therefore, the
proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health and welfare.
Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill

development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects
related to the proposed use.
