These revisions are placed with the intent of helping those persons who do have complaints. These revisions are not intended to interfere with the bona fide touriet who comes to use campgrounds or any other area for a short time. The Commission agreed to the addition of the words "recreation vehicles" to all passages which currently exist with only the words "mobile homes". The Commission asked for definitions of recreational vehicles, this will be added under section 14.20.320. I The Commission discussed the verbiage of 14.20.242 with several suggestions, none meeting with the satisfaction of the Commission. L_ *for the purpose of -discussion, RV's will be defined as vehicles designed for temporary or permanent habitation. Chairman Lewis opened the issue to the public for comment. Father Targonsky asked the commission if this meant that the 30 days means you can have your mobile home on a site for 30 days then move it to another location for -another 30 days: ---Chairman Lewis - answered that the ordinance states anywhere in the city for less than 30-days.- Father-Targonsky-stated-that a person -could -take it out of the city for one day and return and be legal. Councilman PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION January 14, 1987 Page 4 Wise answered that the ordinance could get very specific, but then you have defeated the entire concept. The Commission next discussed the 30 day clause. Commissioner Smalley suggested, "no motor home, RV, etc., may be used as a residence or sleeping quarters after it has been parked in the city 30 days". The Commission agreed that it would create triple negatives, however, that is the idea. Bill Brighton suggested that the canneries use that type of arrangement and placing a 30 day limit on them would be restrictive. Chairman Lewis answered that what this is for is only a guideline to give the city the opportunity to do something about those nuisances. Bill Brighton felt that the term nuisance can tie yourself up and nullify what you are trying to do in the first place. Planning Specialist Loper explained that this verbiage comes from the Kodiak code and is workable there, further it is placed under the zoning code rather than the police section of the code so that the city would be more responsive to complaint than outright enforcement. The Commission suggested a fee for areas such as the canneries. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to continue public hearing to the next regularly scheduled meeting, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. Commissioner Smalley asked if the item did not return to the Commission from the attorney by the 28th, do we need to readvertise, answer from Commission, yes. LVZHotion passed unanimously 5.

CITY OF KENAI t �� ,.vet Oct 210HouM MM,Awlu .N» JAN 19v In' OI' KENAI -- ---- - TO: Tim Rogers, City Attorney FROM: Janet Loper, Planning Specialist SUBJECT: Amendments to KMC14.20.240 Pertaining to Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles DATE: January 19, 1987 At the last meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission, a draft amendment to KKC14.20.240 was introduced. The Commission discussed the wording at length concluding that the draft should be turned over to the City Attorney's office for assistance in wording to reach the desired intent. The specific section is KMC14.20.242. At the present time, the city has no ordinance on the books that would help a private property owner who objects to a temporary home placed on an adjoining lot, when that temporary home becomes a nuisance, or when a temporary home is parked on a street in a crowded subdivision. The intent of KMC14.20.242 is to place verbiage in such a way that would allow the city to require that L temporary home be moved and not used in such a manner. An example: Aunt Sophie has her nephew and his family come to visit. The family arrives in a tow -along type camper. The camper is set up in -- ---- - -- the driveway next to Aunt Sophie's house, a water hose and electrical cord is hooked up and the family settles in. The camper also sits 7 1 within S' of the neighbor's bedroom end of the house. The neighbor is kept awake at night by the TV, music, and kids. During the day, the kids trash the yards and perhaps breaks a window. The neighbor calls the city. Since it is private property and campers are not addressed at all under the existing code, the city has no recourse and cannot help the neighbor. This is fairly typical of the discussions held by the Commission. Nhile the two week visitor to Kenai is not a problem, those that stay an entire summer are. The Commission has also been faced with complaints from homeowners in subdivisions where transient persons have moved camper type homes onto vacant property and live in this environment year round. In one case it was found that the property did not belong to the camper. These are the type of scenarios the Commission is attempting to address through these amendments and are asking for your input prior to the summer vacation season getting underway. The Commission has requested this issue return for the next meeting which is January 28th. 1; s x - i ' IN I • N r 14.20.240 Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles: (a) No mobile homes or recreational vehicles may be installed for use in the City of Kenai for public, commercial, or assembly purposes after the effective date of this ordinance. (b) Mobile homes for residential use may be established only in mobile home parks as permitted in he Land Use Table. (c) Mobile homes which were installed prior to -the effective date of this ordinance in conformance with applicable building code regulations in areas where now prohibited and used for residential purposes, may have such use continued indefinitely, except that such trailers shall not be replaced if destroyed or removed. (d) Mobile homes utilized on bona fide construction sites for offices, storage, or other such purposes may be so used anywhere within the City limits on the construction job they serve, but shall be removed immediately upon completion of sairi construction.

AL MM SMI TBLEPMQNB Zq • MS MEMORANDUM TO: Janet Loper, Planning Department City of Kenai FROM: Rogers, City Attorney Eityll of Kenai DATE: February 24, 1987 RE: Amendments to KMC 14.20.240, Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles Your January 19, 1987 memorandum to the Legal Department requests that we review certain proposed amendments to the Kenai Municipal Code, at KMC 14.20.240-242. It is apparently the desire of the Planning & Zoning Commission that the Legal Department assist the Planning & Zoning Specialist in wording these additions to the Code. As to KMC 14.20.240, you have added in recreational vehicles. This term should be defined somewhere in the Code. if you do not have a definition for it, recreational vehicles are frequently defined as follows: "Recreational Vehicle" shall mean any motor vehicle or trailer designed and used as a travel trailer, camper, motor home, tent trailer, boat, boat trailer, snowmobile, snowmobile trailer, camping trailer, and for any similar purpose." As to KMC 14.20.241, this section prohibits the parking of motor homes or camper vehicles at any time. A person who wanted to park his mobile home on the street and go into the Uptown Lounge would be violation of the Code. I would recommend that it be rewritten to provide that it shall be unlawful for any recreational vehicle as defined in (wherever it is defined) to park on municipal property, including but not limited to City streets, parks and ball _.fields for a - period in excess of- five-(5)- L L . I C C hours, unless such recreational vehicle is parked in accordance with Chapter 18.35 of the Kenai Municipal Code. Five (5) hours should be long enough to accomplish most purposes. You might consider longer amounts of time but as one approaches eight hours, it is enough time to "camp" for the night. The proposed KMC 14.20.242 needs to be substantially improved. A complete blanket prohibition on sleeping in a trailer seems to me a bit harsh. If the Commission desires to completely prohibit such use, then you do not have to substantially fix the language, but it would seem to me that a period of three (3) days of use of a recreational vehicle as sleeping quarters would not be too unreasonable. It should also consider the use of van -type vehicles by cannery workers at the City port facility. If you are going to pass an ordinance prohibiting sleeping in vehicles, this could affect the economy in some part. It would not be appropriate to simply ignore certain segments of the population using recreational vehicles as sleeping units. Enforcement would be necessary. I would recommend the section be written to provide a subparagraph (a) that no mobile home recreational vehicle, or other such vehicle may be used as a residence or sleeping quarters for a period in excess of three (3) days exxcept as provided in this chapter. Subparagraph (b), Mobile Homes or Recreational Vehicles, may be used as residences or sleeping quarters in camping facilities as defined in KMC and when such vehicle or mobile home has a designated space within a mobile home park as provided in KMC . I have left the KMC sections blank above for the reason that you refer to Code sections which do not exist, i.e. KMC 14.320.50. The Code sections should define bona fide camping facilities and mobile home parks. I would urge you to circulate any proposed changes such as these to Howard Hackney. As Code enforcement officer, Howard has insights into these matters which we could overlook. TR/clf Fl L - -- - - - -- section 1: 14.20.320 Definitions: (62) "Recreational vehicle" means a vehicular -type unit, primarily designed as temporary living quarters for recreational camping, or travel use, which either has its own motive power or In mounted.on or'drawn by another vehicle. Recreational vehicles include,. but are not limited to travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers, and motor homes. (63) "Recreational vehicle park" means " area established by a conditional use.- permit for the parking of two or more recreational vehicles on a temporary basis. section 2: 14.20.245 Recreational Vehicles: (a) Recreational vehicle parks may be allowed by conditional use permit as provided by the Land Use Table. Recreational vehicle parks shall meet the following conditions: (1) utilities are adequate (2) Health, safety, and welfare will not be jeopardized (3) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission shall be not by the applicant. (b) Maintenance of Parks: Recreational vehicle parks are not to become a nuisance to surrounding properties. They are to be kept clean and orderly. Dust is to be controlled. Lighting is to be shielded from other properties. Loud noises are not allowed. (c) Revocation of Permit: The conditional use permit may be revoked by the Commission if the condition set forth in (a) and (b) are not maintained. (4) Prohibited use of recreational vehicles: (1) No person may occupy or utilize any recreational vehicle as living quarters or sleeping accommodations while such vehicle is parked on any street, road, alley, or right-of-way. (2) No person may occupy or utilize any recreational vehicle as living quarters or sleeping accommodations while --such vehicle-- -is - parked on City property, not - designated as a recreational vehicle park, except that - - -- - - - - - -- -areas--may- be -designated by -the-City -Manager-- -for use --as -- - camping areas and at such ti d i ted b th L mes as es gna y e City Manager.

Long term use means, but is not limited to: blocking of vehicle, connection to external fuel tanks or natural gas, skirting in, or connecting to external Water and/or sewer. Exceptions: (1) This section shall in no way* be construed as to prevent the historical use, of recreational vehicles by workers employed •in the cannery business provided the recreational vehicles are on cannery property and are used only during the cannery season. _ (2) Recreational vehicles may be set up in mobile home - - -- — parks under section 14.20.240. i PLANNING 6 ZONING COMMISSION March 25, 1987 Page 3 eliminating municipal lands. The Commission decided that no reference to lands at all is necessary. The Commission next discussed side yard setbacks and asked how they were to be handled. Should you deny something because it is a financial burden on the person next door even though it exists. Chairman Lewis asked what would bring it before the Commission initially, answer from all Commissioners, sale of the property. Councilman Wise made reference to houses built in 1959 which predate the code and stated that they would fail under the nonconforming use section. Commissioner Bryson felt that a high figure for a fee on an existing encroachment is inappropriate. The purpose is to encourage the builder to ensure themselves of where they are when. building. Granted they want to work at the 25' point because it is expensive when they set it back and we want to encourage them to be careful when establishing the 251. Commissioner Smalley suggested a $500 fee for existing and $1,000 for those after the enactment of this ordinance. Commissioner Bryson also suggested deleting a portion of paragraph (b) "existing at the date of this ordinance". This would make it all inclusive. The Commission agreed that the appropriate place for addressing fees would fall under section (c) "Permit Application".

However the case 0 the camper trailer in Thompson Park in which someone is living is not addressed. The problem that the City runs into is that they do not have adequate apace for over night camping and 17 _�Q I this happens in many communities. Some cities have provided areas. That area on Marathon Road that the city was considering at one time may be very appropriate. The commission agreed that what the proposed ordinance says now is that no one can come into the city • and this is like the caravans that come and stay at the Chamber. That is not the goal. Commissioner Church asked if this had been discussed last year, answer yes. Councilman Wise indicated that both the Planning Commission and Council have debated over locations for campers parks -and that Council had not made a decision by the end of the camping season and the issue was dropped. Commissioner Mishou stated this is addressing parking in unauthorized areas, would that not cover the issue, answer not entirely. The Councilman Wise and the Commission agreed that by including the mobile homes ordinance with the recreational vehicles might endanger the mobile homes intent. Commissioner Smalley suggested a permitting system for bona fide campers which would give an avenue for those folks are not in violation and this ordinance can still cover those in violation. Commissioner Smalley also stated that I do not wish to refer to a recreational vehicle as a boat or boat trailer or snowmobile trailer, etc., but a camping type vehicle for overnight sleeping purposes. Granted some people sleep in their A boat. Commissioner Church stated that means that someone could come in and apply for the permit and still park on a dead end street. Commissioner Smalley stated that it would have to be a designated area by the City. The Commission requested this go on to the attorney with comments. 9. REPORTS a.

Planning Specialist Loper introduced the item explaining that this final draft is the culmination of about 3 years of work by the Commission and this draft is the result of work done by the legal department. This ordinance allows for the caravans, places responsibility to the City Manager for designating places for RV parks which do not fall under other guidelines, and does not appear too stringent, however, stringent enough to enable the City to respond to citizen complaints. Chairman Lewis opened the meeting to the public for comments, there were none. Chairman Lewis brought the item back to the Commission. Commissioner Bryson asked that in the event this were on the books at this time, is it the attorney's opinion that the proposed RV park down on Beaver Loop would have been permitted. Answer from Planning Specialist Loper, the question has not been put to attorney. I could not answer for him. This ordinance is general rather than specific. Commissioner --Bryson commented on 14.20.245 (d)(1) referring to cannery workers. Commissioner Bryson stated, "I can think of a lot - — --of-situations-that-that could -be virtually intolerable even-though--- theyare on private property it is quite dangerous to public health and it probably goes on now. What I would like to do is continue l l --------- _ --, ;fit r PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION May 27, 1987 Page 2 the sentence where it reads, "only during the cannery season provided 14.20.245 Sections 1 & 2 are conformed to." They are basically that "Utilities are adequate" and "Health, safety, and welfare will not be jeopardized". Chairman Lewis asked if N3 would be excluded, commissioner Bryson answered yes that would just bring us around in a circle. Commissioner Bryson noted that at the bottom of the first page of the ordinance, 14.20.245 (4)(2) the verbiage could be changed to read more clearly: "except that areas may be designed by the City Manager for use as camping areas and at such time as designated by the City Manager." It is confusing and might read better be deleting the words "by the City Manager" and "and". MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to approve Resolution PZ87•-7 pertaining to Recreational Vehicles including the following amendments: 1) Section 14.20.245 (d)(2): delete the words [BY THE CITY MANAGER] and [AND] The paragraph should now read: "No persons may occupy or utilize any recreational vehicle as living quarters or sleeping accommodations while -such vehicle is parked on City property, not designated as a recreational vehicle park, except that areas may be designated for use as camping areas at such times as designated by the City Manager." 2) Section 14.20.245 (3)(1) add words: provided KMC 14.20.245 (1 and 2) are conformed to. The Commission further requested that the proposed draft be forwarded on to Council for approval and passage at the earliest opportunity. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously 5.

The legal department had problems with the draft, but felt that it was sufficient for P&Z to review and comment. For some reason the administrative assistant to P&Z, Janet Loper, put the item on the agenda as a public hearing. The legal assistant had informed the administrative assistant and the land manager that the legal department had some problems with the proposed ordinance, but that in general we agreed with the format and content. The ordinance as presented to this council is accompanied by an alternate which is content neutral in respect to the draft which P&Z approved.

Chairman Smalley answered that that is exactly his concern. The Commission further studied available maps. It was determined that the site is the old Bearite site where a ship had been located at one time. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimously by roll call vote b. Review Proposed RV Ordinance Councilman Measles explained that Council requested that both Planning & Zoning and Parks & Recreation Commissions look over the ordinance and make it more specific to parks and not private use of RV's. There are some conditions in here, if you pull an RV into your driveway and hook a water hose to it, its in violation of this ordinance. I think the general feeling of the Council was that they wanted to write the ordinance to cover parks period. And not get into the individual use of RV's. Chairman Smalley stated that part of the complaints we were dealing with were people who came in and spoke to the Commission, for instance from Thompson Park and other areas, where camp trailers were being utilized as living quarters. They had been pulled onto the property and were being used as living quarters year round. I think there was an attempt to identify a method we could define what we were calling an RV. I'm thinking that when it left here, there was a time frame involved here. There was a length of time that it would be acceptable, if it went beyond that it would be a violation. ' Councilman Measles stated that this -deals only with long term use and goes on to define long term use. Under this ordinance if you have it in your driveway connected to utilities for half a day it would be long term use. Chairman Smalley reiterated the time limitation that the Commission had originally suggested, and thought it was two weeks. Commissioner Bryson stated that reading through this now, its clear that it relates to RV parks, perhaps there should be an addition made to an exception toward prohibited uses where its qualified for individual short term use on private property. There is a church right down the street from me and through the summer there are RV's that pull in there and hook up to water and are there for a few days and would be in violation and there is no particular reason why they should be. The Commission further discussed RV's and mobile homes with Councilman Measles. Howard Hackney cited some sections of the code which are obsolete and compared -them --to this ordinance. ---Commissioner Bryson used Anglers Acres as an example. Property owners along the river drive their _RVs_ down from Anchorage -and-leave- them- there and- live -in-them- during the summers and weekends. "I i i , s. r PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, January 27, 1988 Page S Commissioner Nault stated that while listening to the discussion, it sounds like a case of apples and oranges. if the intent of this is to provide for and define RV parks and allow for that kind of use in the City then I don't understand why we need to include something that discusses living in a mobile home or something that is functioning as a mobile home on a piece of land, (reading from the proposed ordinance) I don't understand why this can't remain as it substantially is and address the inappropriate use of travel trailers in the mobile home ordinance instead of tacking it on this one. Commissioner Church asked if that wasn't what was in the original draft sent to the attorney's office. "when I first came on we were trying to put that under the mobile home ordinance with a time limitation and i thought it was 30 days." Chairman Smalley, "My concern is that when things come back to us, there really is not much of a recommendation as to why certain things were omitted and there really isn't much there saying this is what you should incorporate." Councilman Measles stated that it appears that there are some things that have gotten lost since the first time it came to Council. Last week was the third time it had been to Council and it was voted down the reason being that maybe the Planning Commission could request a work session with the Council to make the amendment. Then we could write something we can all agree on. Chairman Smalley asked Mr. Hackney if it would work, to leave the ordinance as it stands pertaining to RV parks and add verbiage to the mobile home ordinance pertaining to RV use on private property, i.e. something referring to serving as a mobile home. Mr. Hackney and Commission Bryson noted that the general intent at the front of the ordinance, it speaks to RV parks and then it runs through the definitions. In section 2 it speaks to RV's as opposed to parks. It appears as though what the Council would like is RV's in approved RV parks, then the rest might be applicable. It narrows the scope rather than broadening out to a full spectrum. Chairman Smalley noted that this is a new Council Iand "beating it up again" might not be a bad idea and discussing these new ideas may be helpful. Commissioner Bryson "proposed going back to the Council for a work session, to include the Planning Commission, the Parks-& Recreation Commission, and Council, seconded by Commissioner Church. The Commission agreed to set a tentative work session with Council prior to their next meeting February 3rd as the Commission now stands two members short and Commissioner Church and Nault will be gone.. through most. _of .February, _. The Commission. will be, notif ied should the work session be called or cancelled for February 3rd. The Parks & Recreation Commission is to be included.
