requiring that a lessee of lands must have either leased for a
period of two years or completed development in conformity with a

at fair market value, and
WHEREAS, it appears KMC 22.05.040(d) was not amended to reflect the

the above -mentioned ambiguity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,

22.05.040(c) If the tract of land (airport or otherwise)
proposed to be sold is leased land (WHERE THE LEASE SETS FORTH A

current lessee obtains this right to negotiate a sale only after he
has leased the land for the two-year period immediately preceding

completed development as detailed in the development schedule which
has been incorporated into the lease agreement [(THIS CONDITION
APPLIES TO AIRPORT LANDS LEASED AFTER JUNE 1, 1986)].
22.05.040(d) If the tract of land proposed to be sold is not

(2) a brief physical description of the land,
(3) the area and general location of the land,
(4) the minimum acceptable offer for the land (which shall be
its appraised fair market value),
(5) the terms under which the land will be sold,
(6) any limitations on the sale of said land,
(7) the time and place set for the auction or bid opening,
( 8 ) the amount of deposit to be submitted with each bid in
order to cover the City's expenses such as survey, appraisal, and

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai City Council
FROM: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant
DATE: July 8, 1993
RE: Dennis Svarner/Robert O'Connell Land Sale
At the July 7, 1993 City Council meeting, Ms. Sandra Vozar objected
to the sale of Tract A, Kenai Municipal Reserve No. 1 to the above
referenced lessees. I would like to assure Council this sale was
in line with our normal sale policy. However, Ms. Vozar has
brought to our attention an inconsistency in the City Code.
As a brief history, the City entered into a 99 year lease with the
lessees on March 5, 1985. The lease application was approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 8, 1984 and by the
City Council on February 2, 1985. The original construction
completion date was September 30, 1985. The Planning and Zoning
Commission and Council granted three extensions to the construction
completion schedule.
In March of 1992, I contacted the lessees and told them they were
able to purchase the property under KMC 22.05.040 (c). They opted
to proceed with the purchase, at fair market value, as specified in
the code. A copy of the appraisal is attached for your
information. Also attached, is a map of the area and Borough
assessed values. Note the subject property is assessed at $6,400
and sold at $7,700.
An example of another sale to a lessee who leased property for two
years and had not made substantial improvements, is a lot to Walter
Craycroft in August, 1990, for the property behind his dealership
building. It is the City's policy to tell prospective lessees they
may purchase the property after it has been leased for two years.
Attached is a copy of Ordinance No. 1134-86. The introductory
language in the ordinance clearly indicates the intent of the
ordinance to allow leased property, without substantial
improvements, to be sold to the lessee. The administration's
opinion is the specific language of this ordinance overrides any
inconsistency alleged by Ms. Vozar.
Also, note the words "upon substantial improvements have been
made," were deleted from KMC 22.05.040(c) by this ordinance. It
was clearly the intent, and has been our policy, that once the
property was leased for two years the property could be sold to the
lessee. When this code revision was made, the reference to
substantial improvements in (d) should also have been deleted.
It is the recommendation of the administration that Ordinance 1558-
93 be adopted to clarify the code. Under 22.05.040 (c), the words
"where the lease sets forth a development schedule" should also be
deleted. This would allow older leases, some of which do not have
a development schedule attached and may have a building on the
property, to be sold to the lessee.

ORDINANCE NO. 1134-86
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
AMENDING KMC 22.05.040(c) BY REQUIRING THAT A LESSEE OF AIRPORT
LANDS MUST HAVE EITHER LEASED FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS OR
COMPLETED DEVELOPMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH A DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
BEFORE HE HAS A RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE A PURCHASE AT FAIR MARKET
VALUE.
WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is concerned
that lessees of Airport Lands may be leasing property with the
intention of subsequently purchasing the property by negotiation,
and thereby avoiding competitive bidding; and,
WHEREAS, the City and FAA have agreed that a two-year waiting
period will reduce the number of occurrences of such leases; and,
WHEREAS, delaying purchases until development is completed or two
years have passed is in the best financial interests of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that KMC 22.05.040(c) be amended as follows:
22.05.040(c) If the tract of land (airport or otherwise)
proposed to be sold is leased land where the lease sets forth a
development schedule, [UPON WHICH SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS HAVE
BEEN MADE,j the lessee may, at his request, negotiate the sale of
said land at not less than fair market value. The current
lessee obtains this right to negotiate a sale only after he has
leased the land for the two-year period immediately preceding the
sale or the lessee has to the satisfaction of the City Manager,
completed development as detailed in the development schedule
which has been incorporated into the lease agreement this
condition applies to Airport Lands leased after June 1, 1986).

RE: Tract A, KENAI MUNICIPAL RESERVE SUBD. NO. 1
NHN Alaska Avenue, Kenai, AK 99611
Purchase Order No. 43119
File No. K92-061
NEIGHBORHOOD CONUMS:
The subject neighborhood includes the Old Town area or the Original
Townsite of Kenai. It is south of the Kenai Spur Highway, west of Cook
Inlet and north of the Kenai River. It originally developed with single
family homes and commercial use in the late 1950's and 19601s. There are
remains several older single family homes, some properties with historical
significance, several multi -family apartment complexes and light commercial
uses including commercial office, retail space, etc. There has been a
trend away from single family use with conversion of older single family
homes to professional office use and commercial use along the Kenai Spur
Highway. The trend from residential to multi family, professional office
use, etc. have slowed but is expected to continue in the future.
SSITE COMMUM S:
The subject site is an irregular shaped 7667 sq.ft. lot fronting on Alaska
Avenue, a 30 foot gravel right-of-way approximately 100' west from its
intersection with Mission Avenue. The south edge of the property fronts
along a steep bluff which drops to the Kenai River and Cook Inlet beach.
There is public water, sewer gas and electric utilities available along
Mission Avenue.
The subject property boundary lines were not evident, so the exact location
of the property is not known. The site is cleared and appears to been have
been used for a fill dump site. It has a generally level topography to the
bluff with some fill mounds with grass cover. The majority of the bluff
appears to be grassed and stable, however the appraisers noted some erosion
of the bluff along the southwest corner of the site.
There is a 10 foot wide utility easement along Alaska Avenue and a 20 foot
wide easement for an underground storm drain running through the center of
the lot from north to south to the base of the bluff.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE:
The storm drain easement limits the site's utility and highest and best
use. Due to the small size of the lot, it's narrow width, and location of
the easement the highest and best use is as excess to an adjacent property.
Sales of bluff lots in the Original Townsite of Kenai are limited. The
comparables used to value the subject include an older 1983 sale of a bluff
front lot, two recent sales of non bluff lots, and two listings of lots for
sale by the owners. One is a bluff lot (resale of C-1) while the other is
a non bluff lot.
C-1 is an older 1983 sale of a 27,886 sq.ft. bluff lot located 1 lot east
of the subject property. The property lines extend beyond the bluff and
the owner indicated there is about 140' useable depth. It is estimated
that the site has approximately 20,000 sq.ft. of useable ground.
C-2 is a 1991 sale of a 9500 sq.ft. lot located approximately 1 block
northwest of the subject. It has a partial Kenai River and Cook Inlet
view, and was purchased for use as a building site. The City of Kenai
indicates water and sewer was not to the site and the buyer subsequently
purchased a utility easement from the adjacent property owners and extended
water and sewer approximately 68' from Overland Avenue to the property.
The appraisers were unable to confirm the details with the buyer and have
estimated the additional costs for water and sewer between $2,000 and
$3,000.
C-3 is a 1991 sale of a 9200 sq.ft. irregular shaped non amenity lot
fronting on Upland Street approximately 1 block northeast of the subject.
It was purchased by an adjacent property owner. The seller indicates that
it was purchased for future development of summer housing or an RV park but
remains vacant to date.
C-4 is a current listing of two contiguous non amenity lots totaling 8640
sq.ft. for sale by owner. The seller is asking $20,000 with 20% down and
terms. The property is located at the southeast corner of Peninsula Avenue
and Broad Street, is wooded, and all utilities are available.
C-5 is a current listing of the previous sale, C-1, which is for sale by
the owner. The owner is asking $95,000 with owner financed terms which
were not disclosed.
No recent sales were found of lots with a similar easement limiting the
highest and best use. There have been historic sales in the past of
various lots which have limited utility due to small size, limited access,
etc. This type of property sells as excess to an adjacent site. Analysis
of these sales indicate a discount of approximately 55% to 75% of the unit
value. Considering the subject's small size, irregular shape, unknown fill
and easement a 75% adjustment is used in the market data analysis.
After adjustments, the five comparables used indicate a range in value for
the subject from $.94/sq.ft. to $2.04/sq.ft. Considering the subject's
limited use, a value is concluded toward the lower end of the range at
$1.00 per sq.ft. or
$1.00/SF X 7667 SF = $7700 (R)

known, or reasonably construed to have been available at the time, and
events since that date may have changed the subject's value.
4. The property is appraised as if free and clear unless otherwise noted,
with no responsibility assumed for title and legal matters.
5. All information supplied or found through available records and
sources is assumed correct unless otherwise noted. If errors are
found, the right is reserved to modify the conclusions.
6. The data and conclusions embodied in this appraisal are part of the

of the appraiser without mutually satisfactory arrangements.
8. Market value is defined as "The most probable price in terms of money
which a property will bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting
prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by
undue stimulus". The majority of land is sold on terms. Typical terms
in the market may include a 10 to 20% down payment with the balance
at 9 to 12% interest for 10 years. Market time for land generally
exceeds 6 to 12 months.
9. That no engineering survey has been made by the appraiser. Except as

or mineral rights and that the property is not subject to surface
entry for the exploration or removal of such materials except if
expressly stated.
12. That no detailed soil studies covering the subject property were
available to the appraiser. Therefore, premise as to soil qualities
employed in this report are not conclusive, but have been considered

of the Appraisal Institute.
16. In this appraisal assignment, the existence of potentially hazardous
material and/or the existence of toxic waste, which may or may not be
present on the property, was not observed by me; nor do I have any
knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property.
The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances.
The existence of potentially hazardous waste material may have an
affect on the value of the property. The client is urged to retain an
expert in this field, if desired.

Booster Pumps are used in conjunction with existing
systems for two reasons:
1. To raise inadequate pressure to permit the installation
and use of a Water -Reel.
2. To raise the pressure to enhance the machine
performance. For example, with adequate pressure it is
possible to irrigate an area equal to a football field with a

State Fire Training Center Proposal Draft
Page 2
Fire Service Training in development of a viable, long term
solution that meets the needs of fire departments throughout the
State of Alaska, and to provide a future for State Fire Service
Training.
The University of Alaska, in conjunction with the City of Kenai,
has the facilities to accommodate the State 's needs. The facility
currently offers two classrooms, highrise training (four stories),
meets most structural fire fighting needs, is equipped with oil
fire training props, and water supplies. It is located on a forty
acre tract of land allowing for future expansion, and an over all
plan to accommodate hazardous materials, aircraft, cold water
rescue, etc.
The entire facility is computerized with state of the art control
stations, meets all EPA and State DEC requirements, and is located
in close proximity to the municipal airport, hotels and
restaurants, and within minutes of the University of Alaska's Kenai
Peninsula campus.
This facility offers the State of Alaska the opportunity to
immediately establish a viable training center at a minimum cost
with maximum accessibility to departments throughout South Central
and Western Alaska, and will establish accreditation through the
University of Alaska.
STATE FIRE TRAINING CENTER
Kenai, Alaska
Draft Proposal
State Fire Service Training has recently turned all regional fire
training centers over to the municipalities of Anchorage,
Fairbanks, and Juneau in accordance with agreements set out when
the regional training facilities were originally built ten years
ago.
At the present time the Division of Fire Service Training has no
official "State Fire Training Center" and is currently expending
monies to accommodate office space and locations to provide formal
training. The State is, in fact, being penalized monetarily now
that the training centers have been released to their perspective
cities.
The Fire Service in the State of Alaska has been looking for a more (�
positive approach to in -state fire training. The State is limited
to the amount of training that can be provided and, of course,
funding has been a continuing dilemma.
The Alaska Fire Chiefs Association has continuously encouraged the
State Fire Marshal' s Office to establish a means to provide: ongo-ing
training and certification/accreditation -for_ fire service
personnel. Until now, ideas recommended for the solution to the
problem have only been directed towards curriculum.
Though the curriculum will eventually provide a certificate, it is
only part of the solution. Until the State provides a facility to
put the curriculum to practical use, the Alaska Fire Service will
continue to be faced with the expense of training personnel out of
State.
It is time to bring together entities that can assist the State

Werner Quade moved to accept minutes as presented.
5. OLD BUSINESS
a. Short Term Parking and Towing Policy
SO ORDERED.
Toppa - Asked how the traveling public is informed about the
airport closure policy which exempts drivers in the short term lots
from towing if the airport is closed due to weather conditions or
a volcanic eruption?
Ernst - Explained that this only effects the parking lot for short
periods of time. South Central informs the towing company not to
tow cars when the airport is closed. After hours the dispatch from
Anchorage will inform the Kenai Police Department to inform the
towing company. Ernst said out of the two years they have been
enforcing this there have only been eight hearings. So only eight
people out of the over 500 who have been towed have complained.
Zoerber - Asked if there was any way they could set up an emergency
system, like if people end up in the hospital?
�^ KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
f July 8, 1993 - Meeting
Page 2
Ernst - People could find someone to move their car and they can
have a hearing. The towing rate has dropped 24%, so the policy is
working.
Dan Van Zee - Said he felt the system the way it stands penalizes
people who it shouldn't. When people rent his cars they may not
understand that they should not park in this area, but they leave
them there and he gets stuck with a towing bill. I could bill my
customer, but the city makes the policy and than I'm the bad guy.
Holloway - Said he would like to see a policy where the rental
companies could be exempt from the towing policy. He said that
maybe the city could not be as strict in the summer, since the
winter is the most important time to have the cars towed for snow
removal, etc.
Ernst - Says the policy serves two purposes, it clears the lot and
gives credence to the long-term parking. There really are not that
many rental cars this has affected.
Roerber - Asked if the rental cars could be towed back to the
rental agency lot? They would still be charged but not taken out
to the North Road.
Holloway - Said he felt that the rental cars should be left until
morning, unless there is major plowing to do.
Ernst - If you select a group of people to be exempt from the
parking policy than you are opening yourself up to all kinds of
problems. There has only been two or three times this has
happened. Maybe the car rental agencies need to put a sticker on
the dash to warn people not to park in the short-term lot.
Holloway - Said he felt if it's only happened 3 or 4 times that
people have probably been good at not parking in the short-term,
considering the number of cars they rent. If we exempt rental cars
we are not selecting a group of cars but vehicles that are part of
the airport business system.
Van Bee - When I brought the issue up I suggested
city could charge the long-term rate for a 24-hour
If there the next day than they get towed.
MOTION:
that maybe the
"grace" period.
Werner -Quads MOVED to retain the short-term parking policy as it
stands. No SECOND. Motion died due to lack of second.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION �*
July 8, 1993 - Meeting
Page 3
Holloway MOVED that car rental agencies be allowed a 24-hour grace
period and pay the long -tern parking fee. No SECOND. Motion dies
due to lack of second.
Shirley Roberts - In Florida were I'm from, the car rental jacket
states that any ticket you get while using the car is your
responsibility. She said that when you rent you have to have a
credit card and if you don't pay the charges the car company can
get reimbursed from your card.
Scott - Said he has never rented a car where it was not returned to
the rental car lot.
MOTION:
Holloway MOVED that as far as rental agency cars parked in short-
term the City put an envelope on the car requesting a $10 parking
fee. After noon of the next day it will be towed. Roerber
SECONDED.
Werner-Quade - Asked for clarification. Would the policy stay the
same except for the car -rental agencies?
Toppa - Yes.
Ray Measles - Asked who was going to put this ticket on the car at
2:00 a.m.? As a councilman I would have a real hard time telling
the tax -paying public that we are not going to charge people from
out-of-town, but we are charging the tax -payer. He said he rented
cars a lot, any place you go if you violate any law or regulation
you will be billed on your charge card. It's not the rental
agencies problem it's the people that broke the law. If you break
the law you pay for it. Just to say it only happens once in awhile
so they should overlook it, is like saying I only break the speed
limit once in awhile so they should let it go. The regulations
apply to everybody who uses this lot.
Toppa - Asked for a vote.
Koerber - Asked if she could legally second the motion since she
owned a car rental agency?
Toppa - Said he felt she couldn't and asked for a new second.
Seeing and hearing none the motion died due to the lack of a
second.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
July 8, 1993 - Meeting
Page 4
b. Car Rental Lease Rates
Toppa - Said he had read the rates which had been included in the
packet and he felt that the Kenai rates seemed comparable to other
airport rates.
Werner-Quado - Felt that the rates seemed fair but it seemed to her
that Mr. Van Zee had not had an adequate opportunity to submit his
concerns over the lease rates.
Ernst - Explained that the budget process is a lengthy one and that
if the lessees have a problem with their rates they can approach
the Airport Manager (Ernst) or the City Manager and discuss these
rates. By the time Van Zee came forward the budget process was
almost complete.
Toppa - Asked if there was a cut off when people can impact the
lease rates.
Ernst - They can have input up to the time the budget is passed.
Werner -Quad• - Asked when Van Zee would have to get his comments in
to effect next year's budget?
Ernst - Said January 1st, 1994.
Toppa - Said he didn't feel there was any action the Commission
needed to take. It appeared that the rates were consistent with
other rates.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Float -Plane Basin Advertising - Radio
Ernst - Presented a proposal from Pilgrim Advertising. They felt
that if radio was used it should be a concentrated effort for 10
days. The total cost was for 4 stations, 10 consecutive day runs.
8ollovay - Felt that these amounts were high and a local station
would be cheaper. He also thought the advertising should be spread
out over the entire summer and not targeted for just a few days.
Toppa - Said that a couple of weeks ago he had asked the City about
the Airport Safety plan, I was told it was a restricted document.
He asked what the Airport Commission can view?
Ernst - Said that this particular document the FAA has requested
�,. that it not be distributed. A person could petition the City
Manager to see it but it's not that big of deal.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION --,
July 8, 1993 - Meeting
Page 5
Measles - Said if the Commission looked at it, it would become
public information. Since this is a private document it would have
to be seen by petition on an individual basis for security
purposes.
7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
Ernst reported on emplanements and pay parking totals.
• „Ise • • �!�`����`�1�Z�lil��:�f���
Werner -Quads - Had mentioned at a previous meeting the possibility
of setting up a meeting with a lady who teaches parliamentary
procedure. There would probably be a fee involved but hopefully
all the other Commissions could also attend. She asked who on the
Airport Commission would be willing to do this.
Carol Freas - Said she had a video tape which was available through
her office on parliamentary procedure. She also has Robert's Rules
of Order which is available for review. Freas said she might be
able to order extra copies of Robert's Rules of Order for the
Airport Commission, but they should be turned in when a .�.,
Commissioner leaves.
Werner -Quads - Reported at the last meeting there was a discussion
about the Rental Cars using some parking spots next to the
dumpster. The Commission said they would look at that area, and
she wondered if anyone had been able to look at that site.
Toppa - Felt that should be tabled until the September meeting.
That issue is really should be resolved before winter when ice and
snow hamper access to the terminal.
Werner -Quads - Asked what happens to the short-term parking policy?
Ernst - Said it stays as is.
Werner-Quade - Just wanted to clarify this because some people had
come to the Commission to talk about a certain roadway. The
Commission discussed this at great length and the men kept bringing
it up.
Toppa - Said there was no action on the parking policy so it stays
as it is.

Re: Submittal of Application Requesting Appointment to the City of Kenai Airport Commission
Dear Mayor iams,
In recent months I have been afforded the opportunity of attending several City of Kenai

Commission, and have taken the liberty of enclosing a completed City of Kenai

Monfor. Council absent: McComsey.

Pierce.
Townsite Historic Taz Force present: Meeks, Tromblee, Arness,
McCard, and Malston.

DeForest.
Others: Clarence Ladd, Ethel Claussen, M. Targonsky, Dick
Mueller, Linda Bonewell, Sandra and Paul Vozar, Bob Cowan, Tom
Tomrdle. Others not identified.
Bryson stated the Commission's work reviewed recommendations from
the Task Force. Bryson added the National Trust for Historic
Preservation made some recommendations of what a proposed
commission should include. Bryson added from the Commission's
perspective, they felt the Trust's recommendations for a
commission were generic in comparison of what the Kenai Municipal
Code defines as a commission.
Bryson stated he was concerned another board/commission would add
another layer of government with which the public would have to
deal. Bryson added the Commission had no problem with receiving
comments from the group, however, they did not want it to add two
to four weeks to the length of time it takes to go through the
steps for development in the Townsite Historic Zone.
Dorothy McCard stated a commission is required by the Trust in
order to be a certified local government. Arness stated he spoke
with the National Trust and defined a commission by the Code and
they stated they believed a board would be fine. Arness added
the board would not be there to make another layer of government
to circumvent or parallel the Planning & Zoning Commission.
-^ Williams asked if it could be a sanctioned board that would
answer to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Arness stated the
board would be involved in the permitting process and meet only
JOINT WORK SESSION
JULY 13, 1993.
PAGE 2
two times a year. However, if a project was created, they would
have additional meetings. Arness stated it would be stipulated
that if a construction permit is requested in this zone, the
permitting process would go through as before, however the board
would review it and forward its comments to Planning & Zoning.
Arness added the Board would answer to Planning & Zoning.
Arness added the local government certification is needed to
acquire certain grants. Arness added the terminology is that of
the National Trust. The wording needs to be in the City's
ordinance to satisfy the Trust that Kenai is a certified local
government. P&Z would have the authority to overrule or
disregard the Board's comments. Approval from the Board would
not be needed to acquire a building permit. The Board would just
have the opportunity to reviews the building projects.
Williams asked how P&Z felt about having a subcommission or sub -
advisory board. Geocke stated he had no problem unless there are .�
delays to someone who wants to build because the Board could not
get together. Geocke added if the Board could handle the review,
he thinks it would be great because it is a different outlook
than that of the P&Z Commission.
Commissioner Bannock stated if the Board is needed in order to
get federal grants, etc. then he sees a need. However, in
absence of that, he does not see where it would be an answer
either way.
Williams asked Council their views of seating a board subservient
to P&Z. The Board's primary objective would be to acquire the
designation in order to receive federal grants. Smalley
suggested before establishing the board, a letter be sent to Judy
Bittner (National Trust) outlining the City's intentions and see
if that meets their criteria. Smalley stated he supports the P&Z
Commission.
Bookey stated it is needed in order to do anything. Swarner
agreed. Monfor agreed.
ACTION:
Administration was asked to prepare the basic criteria for the
Board and how it will work along side the P&Z Commission. This
criteria should then be forwarded to Bittner for her review and
comment.
JOINT WORK SESSION

PAGE 3
Arness suggested another consideration be made: Does Council
really want to do this. If it's a designation in name only and
there is no real intent to do anything in that particular area,
he suggested eliminating the Historical Zone and go back to the
regular zone.
Williams stated he did not think they wanted to do that.
Williams added he is concerned of how much the Board would desire
to keep their group together. Williams added Council would not
be involving itself in that work.
Maps included in the packet were reviewed and found to be the
incorrect map of what was suggested by P&Z. Their map included
in the zone the Fish & Wildlife buildings, cemetery, church,
chapel, area south of the chapel ending at Channel Creek.
Tromblee did not feel the Commission's area was large enough.
Sandra Vozar (owner of Toyon Villa Apartments and RV Park) stated
she and her husband have lived in Old Town since 1974 and has not
seen a large amount of development in the area since then. Vozar
stated she did not want to be included in the zone. Vozar stated
she was speaking for Wayne Cherrier that he did not want his
apartments included in the zone either. Vozar stated they did
not want to be restricted as tightly as is proposed. Vozar added
the zone is restricting a lot of property owners in the area as
they are unable to sell the property... it is not marketable with
the restrictions. Vozar stated Old Town should include the
cemetery and church.
Williams stated they did not want to disrupt the use of the area.
Williams stated his vision of the zone is to guide what they want
to see, as well as the structure design. Monfor stated the whole
bluff area was Old Town. This is the historical part of Kenai.
Ton Tomrdl• - Stated he came to P&Z in order to build a structure
in Old Town. Tomrdle stated he did all the steps as he was
required.
Bob Cowan - Objected to his property being put back in the zone.
Bryson explained the zoning in the whole area is still Townsite
Historic. Bryson added the idea was to provide more restrictive
JOINT WORK SESSION
JULY 13, 1993
PAGE 4
requirements in the area remaining. Williams stated the zone as
defined now speaks to structures, but not items like RV parks
that do not require a building permit.
Cowan stated with the RV park in the area, his building is no
longer historical. Cowan stated he did not have a problem with
the P&Z boundary as long as his property was not included in it.
Williams stated there are three boundary proposals: (1) covers
the entire area; (2) P&Z's proposal (only takes the portion to
the west of the vertical line that jogs down to the bluff); (3)
Task Force proposal.
Arness stated there have not been any changes the Code since 1987
and the boundary has not changed since then either. The Task
Force, after review, felt the existing boundary coming through
Overland was too small. The Task Force also felt the tideland
area should be included to tie the section together. The Task
Force included area that went to the east to include the old
Kenai Joe's area and Clarence Ladd's property. The Task Force
felt those areas were representative of the type of structures
that were either existing or they would like to have built in the
future.
When the Task Force met with P&Z, it was suggested that instead
of stopping at Cook Avenue that it be expanded to go higher. The
Task Force stopped it at Cook Avenue to the south and to the
east, but it was suggested that it should go to Highland because
there are some existing properties in there that are
representative of what they want. (Task Force suggestion was to
take everything in the purple area (on map], all the way to the
beach, including the low lands and perhaps the triangle jog up in
the area. Essentially, cutting out just the top of
the existing area.)
Bryson stated of the members of P&Z attending at this meeting,
they had no problem including the beach area, the spit and the
bluff in the zone.
M. Targonsky - Stated that before the zoning area was set, the
area was a conservation area and there was no development in the
area.
Cowan suggested the land owners be surveyed in regard to the zone
changes. Williams stated there will be a public hearing for the
JOINT WORK SESSION

ordinance. Vozar stated information should be sent to the
property owners to explain the ordinance.
Dick Nueller - Owns property outside of the zone and the change
would not affect him directly. However, Mueller believes all
government interference delays development.
Bannock explained Mr. Tomrdle came before P&Z with a plan, but
because of the wording in the ordinance, P&Z could not allow the
development. Tomrdle's plan was to build a metal building. The
Code states no metal buildings.
Geocke stated he was involved with the Task Force prior to
becoming a Commission member so has discussed both sides of the
issue. Geocke stated at no time was it meant to restrict
development. They wanted to have guidelines to lend a more
historical flavor to development in the area.
'IT
. Monfor stated Council struggled with the Townsite Historic for
ten years. At no time have there been property owners without
buildings on their property come to Council or meetings about
this. Cowan stated he has never been contacted about any
meetings. Cowan stated an auxiliary or Old Town Property
Organization to give opinions.
Williams suggested prior to an ordinance being brought to
Council, a copy of the ordinance with boundary information be
mailed to property owners for their review. Public hearing date
information would be included as well. An amendment to the
ordinance could be made at the public hearing to include comments
by property owners who come to the public hearing. Smalley
suggested all three options be included in the mailing.
Vozar suggested information be included about grant funds that
may be available. Williams stated grant monies are nebulous.
ACTIONS
Administration to put together a three -page map, along with
ordinance and public hearing information to be sent to all
property owners in the Old Town area. The maps would include one
showing the west side, one the east and west combined, and one
showing the option of the boundary going up and around.
Option 1: P&Z recommendation to the west, including the beach
below the bluff.
JOINT WORK SESSION
JULY 13, 1993
PAGE 6
Option 2: Task Force recommendation, one boundary.
Option 3: Two boundary.
Monfor asked about when Council put on hold the realignment and
paving of Mission Street. What is happening with that now in
this process. La Shot stated the project was put on hold pending
how these discussions end. La Shot added the project has been
recommended for ISTEA funds.
A copy of the ordinance, copy of the maps, and announcement of
the date of public hearing will be sent to all property owners in
the affected area.
DISCUSSIONLORDINANCE:
a. Multi -Family Structures
Bryson stated the Commission would like to have multi -family
dwellings included in the zone. The Task Force removed them from
the zone. The Commission suggests the ability to grant
conditional use permits to allow 2, 3&4, and 5&6 multi -family
dwellings.
Arness stated there is nothing historical about multi -family
buildings in Kenai. The Task Force wants to limit the area to
smaller structures. They do not want a lot of people living in
the area. Arness added this should be to the benefit to the
existing multi -family structures. This would zone out
competition to the existing structures.
Williams stated if they are zoned out completely there may be
some legal problems. Conditional use permits may be need to be
available.
Williams stated the multi -family structures are restricted by
square footage of lots. Geocke stated persons could pool their
properties in order to build multi -family structures. Arness
stated there are approximately 25 vacant lots that are too small
to use (Mission, Overland and Upland area). Hypothetically, the
property could be resurveyed or grouped to make 12 useful lots
and multi -family structures could be built there. Arness added
their concern is the amount of people occupying the area and the
amount of available space.
JOINT WORK SESSION
JULY 13, 1993
PAGE 7
Smalley stated there are people in the Old Town area that will be
affected if the boundaries are changed, etc. and will restrict
them from development. If someone purchases the property now,
and the zoning changes, they may not be able to develop the
property as they had planned. Smalley stated his concern about
liability of the city.
ACTION:
Williams suggested the zone be set up for duplexes now and have
Attorney Graves check into the liability aspect.
Measles stated the area already has the restrictions. Some of
the restrictions will be relieved. Swarner disagreed with
Smalley. Bookey stated the smaller the zone, more restrictions
should be included. The larger the zone, the less restrictive it
should be. Bookey added he would be in favor of six-plexes if
they are on a large enough area.
Information sent to property owners should include whether to
allow single family or multi -family structures -- to a maximum of
six-plexes.
b Review Process
Arness stated the Task Force indicate and request the Board be
involved in the review process. The Task Force left that up to
the Council. However, they feel a stipulation should be included
that the Board has two weeks to make its recommendations to P&Z.
P&Z would take the Board's comments into consideration. If the
Board does not make its recommendations to P&Z by its next
meeting, P&Z goes ahead and makes its decisions without the
Board's comments. Arness stated it was his personal opinion this
would alleviate any concern about another layer of government.
Bannock and Bryson suggested the definition of when the Board is
to act should stated "as needed" or eliminate it.
The Board will meet one hour before P&Z meetings to review
A matters of TSH nature. Information regarding development in the
TSH zone will be mailed out to the Board at the same time the P&Z
Commission packet is sent to the Commission. The person applying
JOINT WORK SESSION
JULY 13, 1993
PAGE 8
to develop in the TSH zone should be available to speak before
both the Board and the Commission to answer any questions.
o:. metal Buildings
Bryson stated metal buildings should be definitely added to Page
3 of the P&Z proposal, (3)(a). Bryson suggested it be better
defined, i.e. metal sided or metal structure, etc.
Administration is to work on the language and allow complimentary
metal buildings but disallow square, ragged -edged or quonset but
metal buildings.
d. U mbership of Board
Arness stated the National Trust suggests five members to the
Board. Williams stated the Kenai Municipal Code states
membership of boards, committees and commissions to be seven.
Membership to be seven. Williams added persons who wish to serve
on the Board should contact City Clerk Freas for the appropriate
application.
_q..L Ordinance preparation
The ordinance with map should be ready for introduction at the
September 1, 1993 Council Meeting. The public hearing should be
for the September 15, 1993 meeting.
ADDITIONAL ACTION:
Administration to review comments of the National Trust for
consideration in regard to preparation of the ordinance and maps.

a. Res PZ 93-29: Encroachment - Rogalsky - Kiel S/D
La Shot reported that the encroachment is a house that is 1.3 feet
from the property line and the eave actually overhangs the property
line. This house has sold several times and the encroachment has
never been caught. The owners are willing to nip off the eave of
the house and install a fire wall to meet the building codes. sja
Shot recommended the Commission pass a temporary encroachment
permit for a time to be stipulated or until the plat is filed for
Kiel S/D No. 1.
Bryson opened the meeting to public hearing.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

Kathleen Foster, with Heritage Real Estate and I'm here
representing Ron and Debbie Rogalsky, my address is P.O. Box 2505,
Kenai. We're asking for a variance into the setback lines on this
lot. The house is, as Jack said, a foot and a half from the
property line. The eave extends over approximately six inches.
And we had asked, originally, to resubdivide that lot line to put
the house in back, in its original 15 foot setback where it should
be. But the adjacent property owner wanted us to get permission
from his mortgage company whose in Texas and we did try that and
they haven't responded to us at all. We have an approved loan for
the buyer on this house and their loan is only good for a certain
amount of time, their approval. And we thought the quickest way to
get this done is to cut off the eave, so it doesn't encroach over
the lot line; firewall that side of the house so that it met all
the building codes; and then ask for a variance. So everything
just stayed the same that it was, except the house would meet all
the codes.
Bannock, Ms. Foster your referring to a variance, what kind of
variance would you like?
Foster, well that's what I was told we needed to ask for, to allow
the house to remain encroaching in the setback.
Bannock, what we have in front of us is an encroachment permit, so
I think that's the right word to use, rather than a variance.
Bryson, we have a proposed plat before us. Is that something that
was initiated before?
Foster, right that was something we were trying to do first. But
we haven't been able to accomplish that.
Bryson, at this point you're requesting an encroachment permit that
would be a continual thing.
Foster, this house has been in this spot for 21 years and it has
sold, this is the fourth time it has sold, with this exact same
problem. It's just that this lending company is the first one that
has caught it. It just never has come to light before.
Bryson, are there any other questions?
Bannock, if the encroachment permit was to pass than, would we be
shelving PZ 93-32?
Foster, yes.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 14,. 1993 - Meeting
Page 3
Bryson, other questions? Thank you. Are there other persons who
would like to testify on this item?
Foster, we have the adjacent property owners here, they came just
to let you know they have no problems with, not the subdividing,
but fire walling that side of the house and cutting the eave off.
Bryson, would they like to testify to that effect? We are in
public hearing now so if you'd like to add something please come to
the podium and state your name and address.
Ray Husby, I'm Ray Husby, co-owner with Vicki Schillam. The home
the way it is right now, there is no problem as far as we are
concerned as far as an encroachment on our property. Huh, we're
eighty feet from the existing home and as far as the firewall is
concerned it's kind of ridiculous to put a firewall up. We'd have
to have a permit to let anybody build a structure so close to the
property line. But, as far as we're concerned there is no problem.
We have a well that is right directly on the property line. It's
been there and I don't know if its on the existing plat, but if you
have any questions . . .
Bryson, does anyone have any questions? Apparently none, thank you
sir. Other persons that would like to testify? Hearing and seeing
none, I bring it back to the Commission for action:

square feet. This sign is about 60 SF.

VERBATIM
Bill Milewski, POB 4478, here in Kenai. It has on there, that I'm
the pastor, but I'm not the pastor, I'm the trustee at the church,
First Baptist Church. We, ahh, about a year ago I had checked with
Howard Hackney about the sign. We checked with the size and
everything and gave him the plans and everything. At that time I
thought it was okay. Evidently he had looked at the wrong side of
the road. And I found out we were in residential when I was in the
other day. And that's the reason, we need a sign variance. I'll
answer any questions, I don't know exactly what the answer is, it's
5 by iZ two -face sign, it's a marquee, I call it a marquee, lighted
sign, First Baptist Church across the top, blue background with
white letters, with four changeable columns. The letters are eight
inches in height we set off, to the church it's about a mile from
the visitor center going out north, just past Larry's Club to the
left on the bend. And we sit down in a valley, about ten or twelve
feet below the road surface of that curve right there. And we have
to be 150 feet, as you can see by that plat I gave there, is the
right-of-way. And the sign as proposed will be about 60 feet from
the front of the building there. Which will put us well within,
and out of reach of the ROW easement.
Bryson, thank you. Are there any questions from the Commission?
Apparently not. Other persons that would like to testify on this
items? Hearing and seeing none I would like to bring it back to
the Commission for action.

Official's review and approval.
Neal Hayes, LPS Builders, explained that this development will be
next to the Pizza Hut. The landscaping will consist of two curbed
areas in the parking lot with a total of 300 square feet (SF) in
each area. They will be planted with grass and small evergreen
shrubs as shown on the plans. In front of the building,

La Shot reported that there was a lengthy list of items. Staff had
provided a table (attached) with each item listed and reported on
the following:
Coyle - Has been contacted several times and has not
responded. The sign will be removed by the City if there is
no contact.
One Hour Photo Sign - has been moved several times. The Legal
Department is handling this.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 14, 1993 - Meeting
Page 7
Rainbow Bar Sign - The owner contacted La Shot to tell him he
was taking it down, hasn't been removed yet.
Baker duplex in Oldtowne - He talked to the Building Inspector
about the validity of the building permit. If it has expired
he'll have to get another review from P&Z. There may be
problems with the building being in FDIC hands.
Quandt property - They have removed 60+ cars. They are still
waiting for a car crushing machine to arrive. The City has
not changed their stance with the State.
Goecke mentioned that Coyle's Landing may be in non-compliance
because Sue Wright is not living in the residence. That is a
requirement of the B&B code.
Walker asked if the sign was indeed in the right-of-way (ROW).
La Shot had talked to the State and they had verified that the sign
was in the ROW.
a. City Council
Councilman Smalley reported on agenda items.
o Funding has been approved for the design phase of a new Animal
Shelter.
o The City is still attempting to get funding for the new fire
truck.
o Set the hearing for Board of Adjustment for Mary & Jack Keck.
La Shot reported that the owner has withdrawn the permits for
this activity and will conform to the code.
o The City is working with Carrs to explore the feasibility of
placing a wall between Carrs and the Bernie Huss Trail. The
exercise facilities in the park have been destroyed.
o The City is also considering the purchase of an Auto -Cad
system to assist in development of water and sewer crossings
under the Spur Highway.
b. Borough Planning
Bryson reported that two plats within the City had been approved:
Kim Addition, Evergreen S/D; and Petersen No. 3.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 14, 1993 - Meeting
Page 8
The Borough has identified a source of gravel near Fall Creek which
will aid in the up -grading of East End Road. The Borough has been
looking at making this gravel available for this project.
Walker asked if the Borough was working on an Ordinance to replace
21.12?
Bryson said they were working on one which would work on a
conditional use permit basis. The Assembly is providing impetus
for this.
C. City Administration
La Shot reported that Kathy Scott had called expressing concerns
about the Cheap Tow operation near Beaver Loop. Scott couldn't
attend the meeting. That is a commercial zone and the ordinance
regarding junk vehicles does not apply to businesses. La Shot
welcomed ideas or comments on this item from the Commission.
Walker suggested that the City may be able to require a fence to
obstruct the view of these vehicles from adjoining property.
La Shot said the requirements are in effect in the Central
Commercial zone, this is a General Commercial zone. He felt it
might be appropriate to add this by Ordinance to all Commercial
zones.
Bannock said Soldotna has an Ordinance which requires paved parking
lots for Commercial activities. This may be an answer for these
types of problems, because the cost of paving would be prohibitive
for some smaller businesses.
La Shot asked the Commission to review the maps staff had prepared
for the TSH Rezone. The Commission concurred that these maps where
the intent agreed upon at the recent work session.
,r i
Bannock thanked the Council for the large attendance at the
Townsite Historic Work Session the previous evening. He also
thanked Staff and the City Clerk for preparing the back-up
documents for this meeting.
Walker expressed concern over campers on the beach. He asked that
the Administration keep track of this situation.

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS --�
I
a. Res PZ 93-33: Encroachment - Remax
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 2
Bryson - Is there a staff report on this?
La Shot - This is for Lot 4, Block 3, Thompson Park No. I
subdivision, it's in a RR zone. It involves an existing duplex
that's in the process of being sold. On the one side yard for that
zone there's a 15' setback called for the duplex is 9.7' from the
property line so we have a 5.3' encroachment on that side. On the
side adjacent to the street, since it's a corner lot, you have 25'
setbacks on both sides adjacent to the street. One side is 24.8'
so that's a .2' encroachment on that side. All of the conditions,
requirements, in the code appear to be met for issuance of the
encroachment permit.
PUBLIC HEARING
Bryson - Thank you, are there any questions for staff before
opening the meeting for public comment? At this time we will go
into public comment on this item. Is there anyone that would like
to testify on Reso. PZ 93-33? Hearing and seeing none, I'll bring
it back to the Commission for action.
MOTION
Bannock - Move for approval of PZ 93-33.
Walker - Second.
Bryson - Discussion on the motion.
Goecke - Is Remax the owner of record on this or do we know who the
owner is?
Bryson - There is a representative from Remax here, Dave, the
question was does Remax own the parcel or are they agents?
Dave Feekan - The parcel is owned by the U.S. Government.
Bryson - Other questions?
Walker - This is one of the older dwellings, is it not.
Feekan - (nod).
Bryson - The public hearing is now closed. The maker of the motion
and the seconder re -acknowledge the motion as stated previously.
Bannock - Yes Goecke - Yes
Pierce - Yes McComsey - Yes
Glick - Absent Walker - Yes Bryson - Yes
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

Bryson - MOTION PASSED UNANIXOUSLY.
b. Res PZ 93-34: Encroachment - Erwin and
c. Res PZ 93-35: Variance - Erwin
Bryson - Staff report.
La Shot - This is Lot 9, Block 4, Redoubt Terrace subdivision.
Actually there are two parts to this. one being an encroachment
permit for an existing structure and the next would be the variance
for one that's planned. We'll take the encroachment first.
In the RS zone for two story dwelling calls for 15' side yard
setback. The house is within 7.3' on one side which creates a 7.7'
encroachment. All the other conditions appear to be met.
PUBLIC HEARING
Bryson - At this time I would like to open the meeting up to public
comment for this Resolution PZ 93-34.
Audience - (Mrs. Erwin) It is my understanding that the
encroachment is (inaudible).
Bryson - Would you like to come and testify?
Audience - (Mrs. Erwin) I just want to verify that, we're supposed
to be 10' from the property line?
La Shot - For that zone, a two story house, it's 151.
Bryson - 5' for single family, 15' for a two story structure in
that zone, side setback.
La Shot - 10' for a story and a half, if a daylight basement.
Audience - (Mrs. Erwin) That's what we have.
La Shot - It is a daylight basement?
Audience - (Mrs. Erwin) Yes.
Bryson - Duly noted. Is there anyone that would like to testify.
seeing none we'll close the public hearing and bring it back for
Commission comment.
Art Gravely - I have a question Mr. Chairman. Is the public
hearing for both the encroachment and the variance, or just the
encroachment.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 4
Bryson - Jack is there a public hearing required for the variance?
La Shot - (nod).
Bryson - At this time I would like to invite comments on both
items.
Art Gravely - 1612 Fathom Drive, Kenai. Commissioners, I would
like to address the encroachment that exists at this time. I urge
you to approve that encroachment as it sits now. There is an
encroachment (inaudible) it's been there for quite some time, uh,
a lot of these buildings were built back in the late 19601s. Some
of them were pushed to the corner of the lots or up against the
encroachment lines, the lot lines, and I think there has to be some
(inaudible) for these older buildings. In regards to the uh, I
would also like to address the variance and the applicants applying
for it, for a couple of reasons. My wife and I have ben Kenai city
residents for in excess of 15 years, or 17 years, and we have
resided at our current address for over 14 years. We have known
the Erwin family for 17 years and know them to be upstanding
characters and excellent neighbors as well as being an asset to the
community. I currently believe any construction which they wish to
perform will be of excellent design and quality. Other than the
encroachment itself that they would like to have the variance on,
the approval on, I would like to see them be able to build their
garage extension so they can continue to live and stay in that
neighborhood. Most of the homes in Woodland subdivision were
constructed in the late 1960's as I stated before, all of them have
very small garages which were more of an after -thought than, an
attachment, than a garage which makes them almost useless. That's
one of the reasons for wanting to expand. I urge you to keep
perspective, in the Webster's dictionary, an ordinance is "an
authority to decree or direction." I do ask that you give them
consideration for their request. Thank you.
Walker - I have a question Art. Is that your property they're
encroaching, or would be encroaching?
Art Gravely - I know their property, they live down the street from
us, and there would still be ample room, for instance if there had
to be, on the other side of their lot there's a utility corridor.
The utilities go down that corridor. The lot, the side they're
encroaching on or asking to encroach on (inaudible) is the utility
corridor going down on that side. I really can't see where this
should bother any future operations in that portion, corridor.
Also, should there ever need to be an underground power line or gas
line that needed to be run to existing homes, even with the
encroachment, there is still room.
Pierce - I have a question. You mentioned the utility corridor and
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 5
I don't see that on either of these two pictures here. Do you know
which side that's on and possibly how big that utility...
Art Gravely - You won't see it on the picture, looking at the
picture it would be on the left hand side. It's really, I don't
know for a fact that it's really, that I can really say it's a
utility corridor (inaudible), I have nothing to base that on other
than the fact that I know there are some lines in there.
Bryson - I have a question for you Jack, the proposed variance is
for the garage side which is a one story building and it's proposed
to be extended as one story I believe. Is the City interpreting
that as requiring a side setback for a 151, two story?
La Shot - The code doesn't differentiate if the side on the, on one
side is single story, it talks about the structure.
Bryson - I just feel that the logic of the thing with the, would
tend to infer that though, that if uh, a house can be two story on
one side and one story on the other side as a living condition,
which generally represents their impact on their neighbor just in
height, and the height issue is a one story on that side.
La Shot - I wouldn't disagree with that logic, but the code isn't
specific.
Goeke - I have a question in that same line, I was thinking of this
when I got this packet, I was under the assumption, and I know that
there was a, an apartment, but this gentlemen was wanting to put on
a carport and was told that the, from lot line, there was a 3'
setback on a lot line for a carport and a 5' setback for a garage.
La Shot - Uh, I couldn't tell you anything on that.
Bryson - I don't know that it addresses carports specifically, it
does address eves over hanging property lines.
Goeke - It was also the same subject.
Bryson - At this time I would like to continue with the public
hearing, is there anyone else who would like to testify on this
item?
Jan Erwin - My husband and I own the property in question.
Evidently our house is rated wrong. It's not a two story house,
it's a daylight basement therefore, (inaudible) ...
La Shot - Is any part of it two story?
Jan Erwin - No.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
} July 28, 1993
Page 6
La Shot - Your as -built does say two story. I guess that's
probably where we picked that up.
Jan Erwin - We have a daylight basement and a garage.
La Shot - We can adjust that in the resolution.
Jan Erwin - That's all I really wanted to say.
Bryson - Are there any questions for Mrs. Erwin. Is there any one
else who would like to testify? Being none I would like to close
the public hearings, bring it back to the Commission for action.
I would like to keep the two items on separate motions.
MOTION
Bannock - Move for approval of PZ 93-34.
Walker - Second.
Bryson - Resolution PZ 93-34 requests approval of the variance from
the required, as I read it, 93-34 is an application for variance,
is that correct.
McComsey - On the agenda it says 93-35, on the application it says
93-34.
Pierce - So the numbers are the opposite that's on the agenda.
Bryson - Yes. 93-34 is the variance request. Comments?
Walker - I have one question, if it's satisfied I would, in fact,
be in favor of it. It does state in this resolution, marked PZ 93-
34, that under 4a, special conditions or circumstances are present
which are peculiar to the land or structures involved, not
applicable to other lands or structures in the same land use or
zoning district. I would like to hear some of the special
conditions, I haven't seen anything special or unusual in this to
require a variance, just based on,the code is pretty clear, it says
what the setbacks are. What I'm trying to find out here is what
special reasons for using, what are we backing this up with, why
are we approving this variance? That's the only question I would
like answered.
Bryson - Jack, do you have any other comments on that?
La Shot - No.
Bryson - Does our setback requirements specifically address story
and a half structures.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 7
La Shot - Yes. It's a footnote in the development table.
Bryson - Is it in the ordinance?
La Shot - It's footnote 1 in the development table; "For structures
with a daylight basement the minimum side yard shall be 10' and for
structures two or more full stories in height the side yard shall
be 151." It doesn't differentiate parts of the building being two
story, one and a half story, whatever.
Bryson - Just for the record, I would like to acknowledge that it's
been testified that the structure is a one and a half story,
there's a full daylight basement under the structure, living
portion of the structure.
Bannock - If the administration is good on the 10' setback, it
completely changes my view of the variance permit and I don't know
if Jack La Shot is comfortable with changing the comments on here
from 15' setback to a 10' setback, it certainly changes this
Commissioner's vote on the variance permit. At the 15' setback on
both sides I had a problem with doing both of these. At a 10'
setback on both sides I don't have a problem. Perhaps, I don't
know if we can just "on the record" change the analysis here or if
the administration is good on that 10' figure, then I don't have a
problem.
La Shot - I'll verify that. It is worth considering, like Phil
said, the garage will still be one story on that side. The code
doesn't differentiate but logic might dictate something else. If
it was a one story structure the set back on that side would be 5'
and they wouldn't need a variance.
Bryson - I just feel that in interpreting, say if it were a two
story building, interpreting the requirement for 15' on both sides
is, you start talking about, these lots can be developed and these
can't with that type of structure and it's a normal architectural
layout. Particularly in a curved culdesac situation where the lots
are narrowing down half way through the property. Other comments.
Duane you didn't really get an answer.
Bannock - I think Mr. La Shot answered that subject to verification
to that, on the two story versus one and a half story or daylight
basement, can we then go ahead scratching 15' to 101?
La Shot - Sure.
Bannock - Ok, so for tonight's action we're going to use 101. So
basically our encroachment just dropped from 7.41, our encroachment
just dropped down to 2.41. Is my math correct?
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 8
La Shot - It would be 2.71.
Bannock - 314". With the proposed garage we are 718" away from the
lot line. On the page titled "Planned Expansion."
Pierce - 7.8 or 7.3.
La Shot - You have to look at the back corner where it's 611111 ,
it's a little closer back there.
Bannock - Ok, at the bottom of the garage.
La Shot - So you're really going to have a 311".
Bryson - Are there other comments? Are we ready to vote on this?
Pierce - Yes McComsey - Yes
Glick - Absent Walker - Yes
Goecke - Yes Bannock - Yes
Bryson - MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
encroachment permit, address that issue.
MOTION
Bryson - Yes
Goecke - I recommend approval of PZ 93-35.
Walker - Second.
In the case of the
Bryson - Keep in mind the interpretation of the structure is a
story and a half rather than a two story, this being the side that
is two story. Comments.
Glick - Absent
Goecke - Yes
McComsey - Yes
Walker - Yes
Bannock - Yes
Pierce - Yes
Bryson - Yes
Bryson - NOTION PASSED UNANIXOUSLY. This concludes action on Lot
9, Block 4, Redoubt Terrace subdivision.
6. PLANNING
a. Res PZ 93-31: Home Occupation - Bel (The Greenery)
Bryson - Home Occupation Permit PZ 93-30, is this 30,
Walker - 31 on the agenda.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 9
McComsey - 32 on the form.
Bryson - We'll call it PZ 93-32, that's what's on the form. Staff
comments.
La Shot - H.O.P. at 311 Birch. The applicant plans to sell silk
flowers and plants at the location. They have indicated that 500
sq. ft. would be used out of a total 1600 sq. ft., that appears to
be less than the 30% requirement for the code. They have indicated
that the other requirements are going to be met, that no more than
one person is employed outside the family, and that the home
occupation be carried on wholly within the principle building or
the buildings which are accessory thereto. It appears the
conditions are met, my only concern is that it be a fairly low key
operation. The intent of the home occupation part of the code is
to allow small businesses in the home that normally wouldn't be
recognized or be a problem for the neighborhood. I believe the
owners are here to answer questions.
Bryson - Would you like to make a presentation separate from the
application?
Audience - (Mr. Bel) We have no presentation but we'll be happy to
answer any questions.
Bryson - Action by the Commission.
MOTION
Walker - Move for approval of Reso. 93-32 and ask for unanimous
consent.
Pierce - Second.
Bryson - Motion seconded for unanimous consent, any objection?
Discussion on the Motion? Hearing no request for discussion roll
call.
McComsey
- Yes
Pierce
- Yes
Walker -
Yes

Bannock
- Yes
Goecke
- Yes Bryson - Yes
Bryson - NOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Walker - Mr. Chairman, I asked for unanimous consent and it was
seconded.
Bryson - Duly noted. I apologize for that. 7

Page 10
a. Resolution PZ 92-26: Rezone - See (Tabled 10/14/92)
Bryson - Let's check that. This is Charlie See's application for
a rezoning, I see no contact has been made with Mr. See at this
time.
9. CODE EMORCENIM ITMW
a. Coyle's Landing - Violation of B&B Code
Bryson - This is just an acknowledgement of action. Staff comment.
La Shot - I guess you received a handout on this matter. It's
requested that no action be taken on revocation of the conditional
use permit. Actually we were just putting it on the agenda for
discussion. We've had some comments and some reason to believe
that the permit holder for bed and breakfast on Barabara Drive does
not reside at that property. You have a letter from her that says
she does during the time of operation of the bed and breakfast.
Bryson - If there are no further comments on this issue we'll move
on.
a. City Council - None
b. Borough Planning
Bryson - Other than the agenda I have nothing to add.
Bannock - Mr. Chairman if we could back up for just a second
regarding code enforcement items. There is two copies of minutes,
dated August 28, totalling four pages, both marked D6. The two
marked D6 are identical, the next two noted Page 2 are both marked
August 28 and are clearly different pages.
Bryson - The staff might want to clarify that for the next meeting.
Bannock - Thank you.
C. City Administration
�A
Bryson - Jack do you have anything.
La Shot - I have a general comment on code enforcement. I guess
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 11
you noticed the bed and breakfast sign on Bridge Access is gone.
I guess it's one of the reasons we have correspondence from the
owner. The City removed the sign and it's in our City yard, the
owner has 10 days to pick it up before we dispose of it. She has
been notified.
Bryson - Has she been verbally spoken to?
La Shot - We mailed, certified mail, and regular mail, to the same
address we used before. We may try some of the other addresses
that she says she's at, but that is the address of the business, I
assume the bed & breakfast is in operation at this time, she should
receive mail at that address.
Bryson - Just for the record, a phone conversation with her two
days ago she indicated she didn't know where the sign was,
apparently it's not reaching her.
La Shot - Well at the time you had the conversation the letter may
not have reached her yet.
Walker - If I may, I notice we had 1412 Barabara Drive her license
shows 1401 Barabara Drive. She contacted me by phone as well and
mentioned she hadn't received any letters, the only thing I'm
curious about, is she going to be able to get her sign back.
La Shot - She can pick it up.
Walker - It's not something she can walk over and pick up by hand,
will the City help her load it or does she need to bring help.
La Shot - The City Manager said no. She can have it but we won't
take it back. The City Manager told us not to deliver the sign
back to her.
Walker - I'm not talking about delivering it, if she goes to pick
it up will the City help her load it or does she need to bring
equipment?
La Shot - I don't know, I would assume we would load it on a truck
for her.
Walker - Is that something I need to talk to the City Manager
about?
La Shot - It might be a good idea, he told us not to deliver it but
he never said anything about loading it.
Walker - Can she count on help to load it or should she bring help.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
July 28, 1993
Page 12
La Shot - I don't have a problem with it, the City Manager does.
I believe he had a conversation with her.
Walker - I see, I guess I'll have to contact him then.
Townsite Historic Work Session - Minutes
None
IBryson - We stand adjourned, uh, persons present not scheduled.
Audience - I assume I got here too late to get in on 93-33 which
was, what, the first one.
Bryson - Yes you did. That was approved.
Audience - Was there any comments made on the off street parking?
Bryson - There were none.
Audience - That's what I thought.
Bryson - We stand adjourned.

just to make a statement or do you have questions.
WILLIAKS :
Why don't you just go ahead and proceed ah, to offer your side of
the story or your statement with regard to the matter so that
Council can get a feel for your concerns.
KECK:
All right. Ah, we appealed it because we, of the objections I
stated in the, in ah, in the letter I sent in on June 30th and
besides that, I have a couple of other things I would like to
add.
The first choice of course, to be not to have these complexes put
in, but if they must be, I have the following concerns as relates
to the impact on Bush Lane Subdivision. Some of these items are
in my request to appeal the Planning Commission decision.
I would like it, the approval for these apartments to be --�,
contingent on a completion date. My concern is that if they are
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING
JULY 21, 1993
PAGE 3
left unfinished, they can draw some undesirable elements to our
neighborhood as well as being detrimental to adjacent property
values.
Ah, Illiamna should be paved and connected with the Spur Highway,
I believe. I would like for it to be City street with cleaning
and snowplowing service. Otherwise, Cook Inlet View Drive would
become the main thoroughfare for these new apartment complexes
and as I, as originally submitted, there was sixty units. Ah,
sixty units with two adults and two children even would be 240
more people in the neighborhood.
They need to have some type of playground for these apartment
complexes because there's nothing available in our area. Also,
there needs to be adequate parking. We already have a problem on
Lilac and Cook Inlet View Drive because there's not adequate
parking and in the winter they park on the street and those
streets have become a one -vehicle land many times.
My other question is will these be low income apartments or just
regular, the article, the statement that they made said they
would be condos. I don't know what type of condos they're
talking about.
Also, if Illiamna is to hook up with Cook Inlet View Drive and
Lilac, I believe that it should be a four-way stop at least,
otherwise, that would become a raceway from Spur Highway, down
Illiamna, Lilac, and back onto the highway and we already have a
problem with people ah, driving too fast through the neighborhood
anyway. They don't seem to believe in the stop signs or the
speed limits.
That basically is all I have to add to the original appeal letter
that I sent in. If anyone has any questions, I will do my best
to answer them.
WILLIAM :
Okay. Just a couple of notes here. Ah, in the cover letter that
we received it said that ah, Mr. Dana Hannah, ah, the Footes
House Moving applicant for the conditional use permit and the
variance permit, in regard to this hearing, has given oral notice
to Jack La Shot he will withdraw his permit application and place
buildings on the lots which do not require the permits. Ah, if
he were to do that, would you be satisfied with the ah... it, it
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING
JULY 21, 1993
PAGE 4
would then take away the need for the, your appeal because he
would be doing what is legal under the Code. Ah, what, would you
have some major objectives to that?
KECK:
Yes. The objection I would have to that would be, when does he
plan to complete these and what type of apartments are they going
to be and also is the street still going to be paved because even
if he put in six-plexes, that's still going to add an awful lot
of people to that area.
WILLIANO:
Further discussion from Council? Any questions of Council? All
right. Is there anyone else that ah, wishes to be heard during
this time at this time regarding this hearing?
All right. Seeing none then, the Chair will request that the
Administration review all of the proceedings, materials before us
for compliance with the Code and various other things regarding
the possibilities of time constraints with construction and all
the things that normally do. We will have that completed within
thirty days and the Council will then, or the Board of Adjustment
will then review the matter and render a decision ah, within the
thirty day limit.
KECK:
Okay.
WILLIAKS :
All right. Thank you very much for coming before us this evening
with this matter.
With that then, the ah, Board of Adjustment hearing and appeal of
Jack and Mary Keck is closed.

B-1. Bill Doan/Dave Yragui - Redoubt Industries - Kenai
Congregate Housing
Mr. Dunn introduced himself as the office manager for Redoubt
Plumbing and Heating, a division of Redoubt Industries. Dunn
stated they were the mechanical subcontractors for the Congregate
Housing Project. Dunn stated the City took beneficial occupancy
of the building on September 2, 1992. Dunn stated they still
have not been paid for their work.
Dunn stated the job was plagued with problems from the start.
Dunn stated the architect's plans were faulty, i.e. the design
phase was not complete before construction began. Dunn added the
project administration (architect, Public Works Director, and
contractor) did not attend to things fast enough. Dunn stated
they were directed to work and perform by construction change
directives which were signed by the city and they have not been
paid.
Dunn stated there have been problems with the mechanical systems.
Dunn stated they have not been maintained properly by the city.
They have made repairs. They feel the problems arose from
inadequate maintenance by the city. Dunn stated they billed the
city and Kornelis refuses to pay for the service calls. Dunn
stated Kornelis explained the City has not accepted the building.
Dunn stated this is the second time they have addressed the
Council on this matter. Dunn added they are requesting Council's
help, if not to pay them, then to look into the matter. Dunn
stated they cannot work for free. They need to be paid.
Williams stated Council appreciates Dunn's concern. Williams
added Council has reviewed the documents in regard to the matter.
Council would like to have the problem resolved. Williams added
Administration has been directed to investigate the matter. The
matter has been forwarded to the Legal Department. The Council
cannot address the matter at this time. Williams added Council
is fully aware of the matter.
B-2. Barry Thomson - Resource Development Council

Development Council, Inc. (RDC) Board of Directors. Thomson
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

reviewed the work of the RDC from information included in the
packet. Thomson explained the RDC projects are not site
specific. They are usually long-term legal or advocacy projects
(ANWR education, etc.). Thomson added they provide a forum for
public testimony, operate task forces as necessary for wetlands,
etc.; have breakfast forums; send out newsletters, worked
strongly on the Spruce Bark beetle problem; they have testified
on the ANWR issue for many years.
Thomson stated Kenai has been a supporter for RDC for a long
time. Thomson stated he believed the $1,636 (yearly membership
dues) will be recouped by the City many times through the work of
the RDC. Thomson requested Council for reconsideration of their
decision to discontinue their membership.
Smalley asked how many other cities on the Peninsula have
discontinued their membership. Thomson stated only Kenai.
Swarner stated in years past, the RDC newsletter and flyers
regarding the breakfast forums have not been received in a timely
manner. Freas stated the newsletters are included in the Council
packets. If the advertisements for the Breakfast Forum is not
timely by packet distribution, she does not copy them.
No action was taken by Council. Williams stated Council was
dealing with a tight budget this year. Council was unable to
address a Cost of Living Allowance for the employees. Williams
added Council feels they are locked into the budget and do not
want to break it at this time. Thomson stated he feels strongly
about the RDC. Thomson added without resource development to
fuel the economy, there is no economy to fuel.
Council took no action.

and where to place the trees. Emily DeForest suggested the old

reviewing the work to be done on the Spur Highway reconstruction.
La Shot reported the State will be redesigning the Kenai section
of road. Kornelis suggested a letter of objection be sent to the
Department of Transportation in regard to the redesign. The
redesign will not allow for public input, etc. Public input and
review of the plans was done for the original design.
Bookey suggested sending a letter of objection. Measles
suggested help could be received from the Borough as well.
Williams asked if a stop signal is to be placed at Spur and
Airport Way. Kornelis stated it is hard to tell what they will
be doing now. Measles stated he believed a letter should be sent
stating the City's strong objection to a change from the original
design. The traffic situation will be terrible.
Swarner asked if Williams had spoken with Representative Navarre.
Williams stated not yet, but will. Kornelis stated he
understands the redesign was ordered by the new commissioner to
save money for the state.
b. Thompson Park - Kornelis reviewed future Thompson Park
bid dates. Williams asked what will be done with the lots on the
east end of the golf course. Kornelis stated they will be
addressed in the next phase of the project. Kornelis discussed
the type of PE pipe which will be used for the interceptor.

Williams requested discussion regarding a method of land swap in
order to develop the golf course lots be placed on the agenda for
future discussion. Williams stated the City is missing a major
opportunity to develop those lots.
Swarner asked if the PE pipe is the type used in Fairbanks that
is now involved in a lawsuit. Kornelis stated it is not.
C. Airport Crack Sealing - Will go out to bid on July 29.
d. Airport Taxiway Project - Proceeding as scheduled.
e. Courthouse Project - There may be a change order at the
next meeting. There was not enough information to bring it to
this meeting. There will be a full explanation of the changes
from the architect.
f. Fire Pit - The fire pit has been received by Davis
Block. A decision must be made as to where to place it.
Kornelis asked for Council approval that he take direction from
Laura Measles as to the placement. There were no objections.
g. Dock Fees - Kornelis reported approximately $1,300 was
collected on Friday. They have used all the 1,000 pay envelopes
they had ordered. More envelopes are on order. Kornelis added
some of the 'Parks summer crew have been helping to collect fees,
etc. at the dock.
1-7. Airport Manager
Ernst reported:
a. He has received the "go ahead" from the judge in the
condemnation litigation for placement of power to the fueling
system at the float plane basin.
b. The motor grader matter has been resolved by the FAA.
C. The snow blower will be here July 29.
Measles stated his concerns in regard to theft and vandalism that
recently took place at the airport. Measles stated the vandalism
took place while the security guard was to be on duty. Ernst
stated the police department investigated. Ernst stated he
believed the problem took place during the day. Ernst added he
had not spoken with the car rental agency owner. Ernst stated a
police officer will be sent during the night hours to patrol the
area. Measles stated he had a problem with that. If the City is
paying the security company to be there, a patrolman should not
have to be sent. Measles added if the security company cannot do
the work, they should be let go.
Ernst stated he has spoken with the Guardian Security
representative on several occasions. Ernst stated the

representative assured him the problem is being handled. Ernst
added Guardian Security will work with the City to make sure the
City is getting the security for which they are paying.
citizens
a. Pius Bodes - 207 Birch Street, Kenai, AK. Rodes stated
he was addressing a problem he had three years ago with the Kenai
Police Department and the City Attorney. Rodes stated he was
told by the preceding City Attorney there was no procedure to
file a complaint against the Police Department. He later was
told by the present attorney there was. Rodes stated he then
spoke with Lt. Oldham and was told he would not take the
complaint from him.
Rodes stated he wrote a letter to Attorney Graves and it took
forty days to get an answer. Rodes stated in his letter he asked
to get dispatch tapes for the night he had been stopped by the
police. Attorney Graves did not give him much information.
Graves stated the tapes had been erased and reused and told him
he did not know anything about filing a complaint against the
police department.
Rodes stated he thought this all was ridiculous and that the
police department and Graves should be using procedures. Failure
to follow procedures is a way to get a lawsuit. Council had no
questions or comments.

Hookey - Welcomed City Manager Manninen.
Smarner - Welcomed Manninen. Stated she was in favor of
goals and objectives discussion and suggested it be council and
city manager in the discussion. Staff could be involved later.
Asked about the involvement of community service workers doing
work for the city. Manninen explained as far as City staff is
concerned, the problem has been solved. Manninen added when the
agency supplying the service workers provides Workmen's
f,71 Compensation Insurance, the City will be able to accept the
workers. Manninen stated hopefully the judges will put pressure
on the right spots and get the State to cover those workers with

Workmen's Compensation. Swarner stated her concern because
community service workers have been used a lot at the Senior
Center. Swarner stated if the City is not going to use community
service workers, the State should be told.
Graves stated they all know why the City is not using them. He
has had discussions with people from the Court System and the
District Attorney. Brown added he has had three or four
conversations with the State over the phone. Brown stated he
asked State Risk Management who was at risk. Brown was told the
City of Kenai.
Monfor - a. Welcomed Manninen.
b. Stated her concern about the beach and the amount of
traffic on the road and over the dunes, especially during
dipnetting. Monfor stated the dunes are being ruined, more
dumpsters are needed, as well as running water and better toilet
facilities. This is something that needs to be addressed.
C. Would like commissions and committees to formulate a
goals and objectives list as well. This will help to tie the
direction of the city's efforts together. There needs to be a
reason for existing.
d. Requested Kornelis to investigate the speed bumps at
the Visitors Center. Monfor stated the bump closest to the
Chamber is not high enough. The bumps are not slowing people

MEMORANDUM FAX 907-283-3014
TO: Honorable Mayor Williams & Kenai City Council
FROM: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager�(�{/
DATE: July 26, 1993
RE: Policy Regarding Boards, Commissions and Committees
Needing Council Approval to Request Donations from Public
and Businesses, per Direction at the July 21, 1993 Kenai
City Council Meeting
I. This policy is intended to cover all volunteer appointed
boards, commissions and committees, appointed by the City of Kenai
Mayor and City Council.
II. The purpose of this policy is to maximize utilization of
existing City funds and volunteer boards, commission and committee
efforts, and to minimize the public perception of unfair requests,
(� soliciting by the City of Kenai volunteer representatives for money
and donations for their own projects, albeit for the public good.
III. The procedure established is as follows:
A. Once a need is determined for funding for a particular
project, the board, commission or committee will first
investigate the internal funding mechanisms available in the
City budget, within their program or activity.
B. If funding is available, the request or purchase order
will be processed to utilize those funds first; if not
available through the City's budgetary process, then they may
request additional supplementary funding through the City
Council by naming the specific project, task or activity that
they are involved in.
C. This request would be acted on at a regular City Council
meeting with the public's input. If the Council votes to fund
the request with supplementary funds, there would be no need
to solicit the general public. The Council may decide not to
fund the project, or to fund only a portion of the project,
and request that the board, commission or committee,
supplement the project with other fund raising activities,
volunteer donations or solicitations.

80-178 that accepted land from Harold A. and Rita
Daubenspeck; and
WHEREAS, that resolution provided that revenues derived from
the oil, gas, and mineral rights of the land "be dedicated
to athletic programs sponsored by the City of Kenai"; and
WHEREAS, the balance in the reserve for athletic
expenditures is $72,038; and
WHEREAS, the City's ballfields and parks are integral parts
of the City's athletic programs; and
WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Director has requested
that the Council approve the purchase of a new tractor for
the Parks Department to replace a worn 1981 tractor that
needs either extensive repairs or replacement.

ORDINANCE NO. 1561-93
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
AMENDING KMC 7.25.020 (CITY BUDGET CONTROL).
WHEREAS, current City ordinances allow the City Manager to
make budget transfers in amounts less than $1,000 within a
single department; and
WHEREAS, many funds other than the General Fund have a
contingency account in each department to provide a means
for transfers for unexpected costs; and
WHEREAS, the contingency in the General Fund is within only
one department, making relatively small transfers difficult
and cause for delay; and
WHEREAS, expanding the City Manager's authority to allow
transfers within a fund, rather than a department, will
provide more efficiency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that KMC 7.25.020 is amended as follows:
7.25.020 City Budget Control: (a) After approval by
the Finance Director as to availability of unencumbered
balances, transfers in amounts less than $1,000 may be made
in line item accounts within a [DEPARTMENT] Fund without
approval by the City Council. The City Clerk may make such
transfers within the [DIVISION] Department of the City
Clerk, and the City Attorney may make such transfers within
the Department of Law. The City Manager may make such
transfers in all other areas except in the Legislative
Department. However, no transfers under the authority
granted herein may be made to or from accounts pertaining to
personal services.
(b) The City Council, by resolution, may make
transfers in any amounts of unencumbered balances of line
item accounts within a Department or within a Fund.
(c) The City Administrator is directed to charge all
disbursements to "cost centers" established by the budget.
A "cost center" is defined as a provision for expenditure
specified by the budget of the City of Kenai for a
department or activity specifically so recognized.

TO: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director

DATE: July 29, 1993
SUBJECT: Budget Transfers
Attached is an ordinance that I have drafted expanding the
City Manager's authority to transfer money. This ordinance
would allow you to transfer money, up to $1,000 (the current
maximum) within a fund, instead of a department.
When I prepare the annual budget, I place a contingency in
each of the three departments within the Water and Sewer
Fund and also in each of the three departments within the
Airport Land System Fund. This is done so that small
transfers can be made with minimal delay.
But, in the General Fund, the contingency of $75,000 is all
placed in a single department, called Other. That means
that even a small $50 transfer from the General Fund
contingency needs a Council resolution, because the transfer
is from one department to another department. It would be
possible, but confusing, to place a contingency in each
General Fund department.
A better idea would be to allow the Administration to make
small transfers within the General Fund. This is not a vast
increase in power. Council will still approve all transfers
greater than $1,000, plus each actual purchase greater than
$1,000.
If you approve of this, I'll put the ordinance and a copy of
this memo in the next packet.

SUBJECT: Conhodnated Soils - Kenai Courthouse
FOR: City Council Discussion 8/4/93
The City has approximately 8,000 CY, (12,000 tons), of contaminated soils on two lots next to
the courthouse that need to be disposed of. There are many firms that would like the contract
to dispose of this material. I have received verbal rough cost estimates of $50/CY for biological
remediation to $50/ton for using it in asphalt. This amounts to $400,000 to $600,000. This cost
does not include testing nor the ADEC environmental disposal plan.
I have submitted the letters I received from ADEC to Council that have stated their position that
17 the City, as owners, are responsible for disposal. Charlie and Cary have worked out an
agreement with the Alaska Court System (ACS), concerning project overruns due to the
contaminated soils. They should explain the financial and legal aspects of the clean up and
disposal of this contaminated soil.
I talked with the KPB environmental coordinator concerning their contaminated soils problems.
They hired a firm to do their soils testing, ($11,000 for 1,600 CY). They are presently bidding
the professional services and construction for the ADEC required stockpile disposal plan and
disposal of the soils. The KPB had eight piles of contaminated soils since 1989, but recent
testing only showed four piles now contaminated. So, four piles cleaned themselves up!
Cary said he did not think it would compromise our position with Grace Drilling and other PRP's
if we cleaned up the site. Grace Drilling has stated they would take care of a few small piles
but not all of the material they moved nor the large pile that the City's contractor pushed up.
I think we should consider contracting out to clean up the site in whatever way is the cheapest
and that meets all ADEC and EPA rules and regulations.
In order to even get started we need to appropriate money to cover the costs. If council agrees
I will pursue bidding the testing, environmental disposal plan, and disposal of these contaminated
soils. I will have a cost estimate for an appropriation ordinance/resolution at the next Council
meeting of August 18, 1993.

Kenai, AK 99611
Dear John:
The Alaska Wetlands Coalition (AWC) was originally organized to represent a
diverse statewide membership, in response to the 1989 Memorandum of
Agreement between the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Many communities around Alaska were shocked to discover that such a national
policy would be implemented. For historic reference, the 1989 RDC brochure on
wetlands is enclosed for each Council or Assembly member and the Mayor.
Legitimately, Alaskans were concerned that a national policy would be crafted
without any consideration for our state's unique circumstances and excellent
conservation record, namely:
- Alaska has a net wetlands loss of less than one -tenth of one percent,
compared to the Lower 48 loss of 54%.
- Alaska native lands claims were settled with indigenous people for
development and subsistence use of their wetlands.
- Wetlands account for 70% of Alaska's non -mountainous area, which roughly
totals 170,000,000 million acres.
- Unlike any other state, millions of acres of wetlands in Alaska were
preserved in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA).
Alaska's wealth of wetlands suddenly seems like a big liability, rather than an
asset. Combined with the Federal Jurisdictional Manual broadening the
definition of wetlands, it is clear in Alaska that any development including
schools, roads, hospitals, homes, and resources, no matter how conscientious, 71
naturally requires the use of wetlands. The question remains, how can we
avoid wetlands when dry uplands are scarce in Alaska!
The Alaska Wetlands Coalition was formed, therefore, to work on changing
17 federal regulations, bring some community perspective and balance to the
debate and help guide the overall national policy decision. One of the reasons
the AWC was so well received is it represents diverse Alaska interests and
areas, and it has a solid case laden with validity.
If you have been involved with this issue recently, then you know the Alaska
Wetlands Coalition has been instrumental in elevating Alaska's concerns on
wetlands policy to date. Most recently the Clinton Administration invited the
AWC, along with Nelson Angapak of Calista Corporation, and Commissioner John
Sandor of the State Department of Environmental Conservation, to testify in
Washington, D.C., at hearings conducted by the White House Interagency Working
Group on Federal Wetlands Policy.
Continuing such response is essential to formulate wetlands policy that is at
least flexible enough to provide for Alaska's unique situation. There is no doubt
that your financial support would greatly aid in the AWC's effort. We invite
each community to contribute what it can to keep this effort strong.
Other ways to help are sia^a a resolution of support for the effort, advancing
your community concerns and specific problems to our attention and adder
your name to our ar_ owing list of members.
We are very optimistic that with your support, we can continue to push things
in the right direction for Alaska. We will send you a copy of the new brochure
as soon as it is printed. Let us know how we can help you more.
Sincerely,
Alaska Wetlands Coalition

Dear State and Federal Officials:
The City of Kenai's Administration, Mayor, City Council, and Citizens are very upset that the
State DOT/PF is planning to reduce the scope of work on the Urban section of the Kenai Spur
Highway Reconstruction. The state has held many public hearings on the Kenai Peninsula where
this project was described to attendants using the attached typical highway section. Please note,
from looking at this DOT/PF drawing, that we were told at these numerous meetings and through
our DOT/PF contacts, that the following criteria would be used on this design:
1. Typical section total width = 111'
2. Traffic lanes = 4 ea. at 12' wide
3. Median width = 20'
4. Shoulder width = 8'
5. Sidewalks = 10' on south side and 6' on north side
Recently, we have heard that the State DOT/PF has arbitrarily and drastically changed the typical
road section to minimal design standards as follows:
1. Typical section total width = 70' to 80'
2. Traffic lanes = 4 ea. at 12' width?
3. Median width = 12' to 14'
4. Shoulder width = 2'
5. Sidewalks = bike/pedestrian on one side fitted into the right-of-way where
convenient in a "floating alignment."
Page 2
Spur Highway
7/23/93
The City of Kenai is very concerned with using these minimal design standards when this area
is experiencing such tremendous growth. The fact that the largest store in K-Mart's chain and
one of the largest Cam stores is located on this section of the Kenai Spur Highway is testimonial
to our area's huge expansion. If anything, the original plan should be enlarged not reduced.
Another serious concern is the fact that the revised minimal standards is so drastically different
than what was presented to the public in the hearings on this project. I would think that the
DOT/PF would want to have additional public hearings to explain these changes. The state's
credibility is at stake. I also think that the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) would insist
on additional public hearings.
The City of Kenai requests that the State DOT/PF design the Kenai Spur Highway - Urban
Section as was originally planned and presented to the public and to the City. If DOT/PF plans
to make changes to the original typical road section the City of Kenai requests additional public
hearings to discuss the changes.

Keith Kornelis

APC mill to close September 30, hundreds to lose jobs
Major changes in a federal logging
contract, coupled the removal of two-
thirds of the commercial forest in the
Tongass National Forest from logging,
has forced the Alaska Pulp Corporation
to announce the indefinite suspension
of its Sitka pulp mill operations.
Four -hundred employees with an
annual payroll of $18.9 million will lose
their jobs when the mill closes Septem-
ber 30. A permanent closure would
ultimately lead to the loss of hundreds
of additional jobs and an indirect payroll
of $11.3 million.
While a weak world pulp market is

a contributing factor in the mill's upcom-
ing closure, the worst damage has come
from changes in the company's 50-year
logging contract that have made a diffi-
cult situation "completely unworkable,"
said Frank Roppel, Alaska Pulp execu-
tive vice president. He said the com-
pany will seek relief through a recently -
filed lawsuit against the Forest Service
and will explore additional uses for the
Sitka mill site.
The company's contract with the
Forest Service allowed for the purchase
of 5 billion board feet of timber through
the year 2011. But since the contract
was signed in 1957, Congress has
moved to set aside most of the commer-
cial forest from logging.
In the 1980s, a major lobbying effort
by state and national environmental
groups led to the passage of the 1990
Tongass Reform Act, which removed
even more prime areas from the timber
base and led to major changes in the
harvest contract. Those changes sub-
stantially increased the price of wood
and decreased the overall quantity and
quality of logs available to the company.
Moreover, operating costs at the
mill have increased over the years with
stricterpermit requirements.Since 1968,
the company has spent over $100 mil-
lion installing air and water pollution
controls. It now spends over $12 million

Federal environmental policy is serious threat
to Alaska's resource -dependent economy
Message from the
Executive Director
by
Becky L. Gay
Warning: This morifts Resource Reviewm0htbe depress-
ing to people concerned about the future of resource development
in Alaska.
The cumulative impacts of massive federal actions on the
economic health of Alaska are beginning to rear their ugly heads.
Government policies, combined with the goals of non -develop-
ment groups such as the "Alaska" Wilderness League, are overtly
hostile toward resource development —Alaska's economic lifeline.
As predicted, such extrerrasm is finally having aserious impact
on the state'stimber, minerals and oil and gas sectors. And if fishing
and tourism interests (the only apparentpolitically-correct industries
)don'tthinkth Wllbeaffected--thinkagain. Bluntlyput,Alaska's
basic industries are under siege and Alaska residents are the initial
victims, since economic misery strikes locals first.
In light of federal and Ouliside influences on both public and
private lands in our state, RDC has worked hard over the years to
be heard and influential at the national level.
Since 1989, for instance, ADC has coordinated the Alaska
Wetlands Coalition (AWC) to spearhead the battle on wetlands
policy and regulation. Federal wetlands policy represents yet
another attempt to retard Alaska's ability to develop not only
resources, but transportation corridors, airport and port sites,
tourism facilities, and the most basic elements of infrastucture in
rural and urban Alaska, especialy water and sewer systems.
With thanks to the Alaska Congressional delegation, the AWC
was invited to Washington, D.C. earlier this month to testify beforII
the White House interagency Working Group on Federal Wetia�
Policy chaired by Keith Laughlin of the Environmental Policy group
for President Clinton.
Commissioner John Sa ndor, Nelson Angapak of Calista and
I spoke tothe group on issues ranging from community needs, rural
sanitation considerations, regulations, coastal zone management,
federal conservation units, demographics, native lands, as well as
specific wetland issues such as strict mitigation sequencing, abun-
dance, functions, values and permafrost. I also tookthe opportunity
to fire a few shots at the latest misinformation campaigns of groups
perpetuating fearful myths about Alaska wetlands.
The Alaska team was well received and felt we had made the
case for flexibility and reason in the case of Alaska wetlands policy
to the working group in the new administration. This is a prime
example of the way in which pro-deve entAlaskans must unify
and work together. None of us can achieve lasting success on our
own against the formidable odds out there. I encourage everyone
reading thisto call and askforthe testi i onydeliveredandifpossible,
to spare a few dollars earmarked for wetlands work. I'll even send

Thoughts from
the President
by
James L. Cloud
With "Friends" like
these, who needs
enemies?
Under pressure from eastern special interests who claim
to be "friends of Alaska," the U.S. Forest Service has unilat-
erally made changes to long-term harvest contracts leading
to the closure of the Alaska Pulp Company's mill in Sitka,
putting over 400 people out of work this fall. Accounting for
25% of Sitka's employment base, the forest products industry
reduction will likely effect 50% of Sitka's economy with
ramifications throughout Southeast Alaska. With a rather
large multiplier effect on the economy, the APC closure could
result in a $40 million reduction in personal income in South-
east and $8 to $10 million less federal income taxes paid to
Uncle Sam. With "friends" like these back East, who needs
enemies?
In 1906, U.S. Secretary of Interior Gifford Pinchot with-
drew all coal deposits in the Bering River Coal Fields under
pressure from eastern special interests who claimed to be
"friends of Alaska." The move forced Cordova residents and
businesses to import coal from British Columbia rather than
use the vast coal resources located nearby. On May 4, 1911,
300 frustrated Cordova residents held the infamous "Cordova
Coal party," shoveling several tons of British Columbia coal
into the Cordova harbor. Eighty-two years ago, Alaskans
failed to appreciate the concerns of their eastern "friends."
Let me introduce you to some of your new "friends" from
Outside that are here to help save Alaskans from themselves:
- The Alaska Wilderness League - Chaired by former
New York Representative Bob Mrazek, this organization is
dedicated to designating the Coastal Plain of the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness and preventing Ameri-
cans from using the oil and gas that m&y lie underneath the
frozen tundra.
- The Alaska Coastal Rain Forest Campaign - Orga-
nized by the Southeast Alaska Conservation Coalition and
the Alaska Center for the Environment, this organization is
armed with several advisors from Washington, D.C., and
..Atlanta, Georgia to lock up timber resources in the Tongass
,ational Forest, the "Lost Coast" between Yakutat Bay and
Cape Suckling and the coastal forest lands from Cordova to
Kodiak.
Add to these the legion of other special interest lobbies
that are bound and determine to raise funds to help lock -up
Alaska and prevent consumers from around the world the
opportunity to enjoy products made from Alaska's resources.
These people introduce a new meaning to the definition of
"carpetbaggers." Even Judge James Wickersham would turn
over in his grave at the thought of this invasion of outside
intervenors.
It's not bad enough to have to counter propaganda and
misinformation from groups like these, Alaskans must work
tirelessly to fight efforts of the government to set aside more
wilderness and restrictions on federal lands. Already 57
million acres of federal lands in Alaska are closed to any form
of development. This represents 62% of all federal Wilder-
ness real estate. Moreover, development is banned or se-
verely limited in tens of millions of acres in Alaska national
parks and refuges (outside designated wilderness areas).
And if all this isn't enough to satisfy non -development inter-
ests, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently closed
comments on a plan that would set aside millions of additional
acres into Wilderness.
When the government and others limit uses of land and
resources, there is inevitably an impact on consumers and
the economy. The federal and state Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
Trustees Council recently voted to purchase land to prevent
the harvest of 100-plus million board feet of timber. This
renewable resource could have produced nearly 170 million
board feet of lumber, enough to build over 11,000 homes.
Given proper forest management, this could have been
repeated every 50 to 60 years, forever.
While private landowners may find opportunity in selling
their land to the government, one would have to question the
wisdom of the government's role in limiting resource avail-
ability to consumers while spending enormous sums to add
to the already obscene amounts of land in government
ownership in Alaska.
With greater amounts of our natural resource base being
closed tb development, where will America find the raw
materials to produce the products its consumers demand?
Before long, America will become a nation of consumers
without producers. Jobs will flow overseas to develop re-
sources in countries with much weaker environmental laws.
And the trade deficit will only grow larger as America imports
the products it no longer produces at home.
With so much interference on Alaskans' right of self-
determination, it's not hard to understand the frustration of the
Bostonians at the Boston Tea Party or Cordova residents at
the Cordova Coal Party.
Our friends have been with us since the beginning,
fighting over the land. The faces and names have changed,
but the battles are still the same.
Come join the fight.

Pulp mill to close, Sitka
ponders its future
(Continued from page 1)
annually to meet environmental man-
dates.
To comply with a newly -proposed
permit requirement, the company would
have to spend an additional $104 mil-
lion initially and triple its annual envi-
ronmental expenses. These costs can-
not be passed on to the consumer, the
company has said.
State officials have recently voiced
concern that burdensome federal red
tape could lead to the demise of both
the Sitka and Ketchikan pulp mills, send-
ing the Southeast Alaska economy into
a tailspin.
In response to news of the mill's
closure, Governor Wally Hickel said
"this is the painful result of the policies
of an uncaring federal government,
policies that are calculated to, sooner
or later, put an industry out of busi-
ness."
A permanent shut -down of the APC
mill would be "devastating," warned
Sitka Mayor Dan Keck. The seasonal
nature of Sitka's tourism and fishing
industries could not make up for the
year-round loss of high -paying mill jobs,
said Keck, a member of the RDC Board
of Directors.
When the cruise boats stop coming
and the town loses the millworkers,
whose salaries average about $45,000
a year, "it's going to be pretty tough
during the winter," said Keck.
Alaska Pulp accounts for nearly
2,000 direct and indirect jobs in Alaska
and pumps tens of millions of dollars
into the economy each year. The com-
pany spends over $6 million annually in
local contracts and its employees spend
over $30 million on local goods and
services.
APC also accounts for nearly a
quarter of Sitka's water revenues and
20 percent of its property tax base. As
a result, the mill's closure eventually
could mean an end to Sitka's low prop-
erty tax rate.
"The social costs of the mill's clo-
sure, including unemployment benefits
and the loss in tax revenues, have yet to
be calculated," noted APC spokesman
Rollo Pool.
"I just bought a house last year and
I'm probably going to have to walk into
the bank and give them the keys," said
millworker Chris Skoog. "That's the only
thing I can think of. The house won't sell
now. Property values just went through
the basement."
With strong and escalating prices
for lumber, APC will continue operating
a second facility at Wrangell which pro-
duces lumber. The Wrangell sawmill
employs 235 people. Company logging
operations will employ up to 500 more
people during the peak season.
But a permanent closure of thl
Sitka mill could result in a restructuring
of logging operations in the northern
Tongass because Alaska Pulp's long-
term contract is linked to an operating
ARC: USIFS improperly changedcffow
(Continued from page 1)
unilaterally changed the administration
of the long-term contract by raising
prices and by reducing the time for
harvesting offered timber. The Forest
Service additionally interpreted the act
in a way that substantially reduces
APC's timber volume through the re-
maining 18 years of the timber harvest
contract.
APC also claims the Forest Service
used the act to wipe out an economic
test in the contract that was used to
determine suitability of timber offered to
the company.
"It's not in anyone's best interest to
let these improper changes destroy a
successful working relationship that has
been providing jobs and year -around
economic activity for our part of Alaska for
more than three decades," Roppel added.
Some of the challenged changes to
APC's contract are:
- Comparable Pricing: APC must pay the
average price of other timber purchasers if
those prices are higher than those calcu-
lated under the long-term timber contract.
Other timber buyers may purchase logs
only occasionally, have no continuing pur-
chase obligation and can speculate on fu-
ture market conditions.
"The Forest Service's interpretation of
the comparable pricing clause is like an
elevator that only travels in one direction,"
Roppel said.
- Utility Grade Logs: For the first 30 years
of the company's contract with the federal

Pulp mill.
"A pulp mill was a definite require-
ment for the contract," said Wayne
Nicolls, a Forest Service spokesman.
Nicolls said the contract allows for tePn-
porary closure of the mill, but if it re-
mains closed, then the Forest Service
might seek to terminate the contract.
APC's Roppel would not speculate
on what it would take to re -open the mill,
saying "It's clear that it will take some
time to resolve our differences with the
Forest Service or to find some addi-
tional use for the property. Given the
situation, we felt it would be more fair to
our employees to offer an enhanced
and comprehensive severance pro-
gram, rather than to put them in a state
of long-term uncertainty and financial
jeopardy — in the hope that more work
would be available at our facility any
time soon."
The Ketchikan mill, Southeast
Alaska's largest private employer, re-
sumed operations in June after a six -
week shut down. The mill will likely
have to shut down again next month
and might stay closed until October,
said Martin PH, the company's presi-
dent and general manager.
"This is obviously a very sad day in
the history of Southeast Alaska," Pihl
said. "The difficulties that Sitka speaks

of -- the contract management and
changes -- affect all of us in the indus-
try.,,
Alaska's congressional delegation
blamed environmental extremists, the
Forest Service and East Coast elitists
for the mill's closure.
"The extreme environmental crowd
has demanded change after change
that makes it impossible to sustain this
mill's productive activity in the Tongass,"
said Senator Ted Stevens. "They are
the ones who should tell the 400 workers
who lost their jobs why they can no
longer support their families."
Congressman Don Young vented
his anger at majority Democrats.
"In their effort to appease the East
Coast environmental elitists who have
decided to tell the rest of the nation how
to live their fives, the Democrats in Con-
gress who pushed for strict restrictions
on timber development have thrown
hundreds of people out of work and
destroyed Southeast Alaska's second
largest employer," Young said.

e plan would
add more Wilderness here
The Resource Development Council is opposing a federal proposal to expand
Wilderness zones inside Alaska's national wildlife refuges.
In comments filed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, RDC President Jim
Cloud warned that Increasing Wilderness areas in Alaska would be a crippling
attack on its land base and would create bureaucratic redundancy which is not
needed nor wanted, given the high level of protection already granted by federal
laws and regulations,"
At issue is a document called, "Refuges 2003: A Plan for the Future of the
National Wildlife Refuge System." The draft proposal is a blueprint on how
America's wildlife refuges will be managed in the 21 st Century.
RDC opposes the Proposed Alternative which would add 29 million acres of
Wilderness to the national wildlife refuge and discourage public recreation inside
the units. Most of the Wilderness additions would come from Alaska, a state which
already accounts for 90% of all Wilderness designations in the national refuge
system. Overall, Alaska accounts for 62% of all federal Wilderness, a heavy
burden for one state to carry.
RDC ®xp40*Jhat existing and proposed Wilderness designations in Alaska
adversely imps Access, recreation, camping, fishing and hunting, as well as
most other hVmo activities. When lands are withdrawn from multiple use and
closed to d"lppment, economic opportunities are not only lost in the minerals,
timber and errgy industries, but tourism, too. Wilderness designations forbid the
construction of roads and tlities which attract visitors and support new visitor
opportunities.
RDC also objected tomy action which would4*emphasize public recreation
in the national wildlife refla : The proposed ailter6sovi a would Continue a trend
toward restricting recreational opportunities and ao6sss..in Alaska refuges.
"Since so much of Alaska is inaccessible et geographical barriers
?nd the lack of infrasocture, the last thing thus to � are federal conserva-
;onunits with policies discouraging public recite ploo," ADb, said in its comments.
"What Alaska doe&, wed are facilities'and policies uljlYh 0ilow greater public use
and enjoyment ofita iomote refuges and parks. i ceess to and from the refuges,
along with new facilities for recreation and tourisrt~l l are nesoed if these refuges are
to be visited and enjoyed by potential users, otherthan refuge employees and their
friends."
In its comments, RDC pointed out that the draft environmental impact
statement, as written, is deceptive in that it masks the true extent of ,oposed
Wilderness additions by assuming a . <.se acreage which provides fer -n more
Wilderness additions by Congressior3� actions which have not yet cc:. erred.
New group.
wants more
Wilderness
Although Alaska already carries the
burden of supporting two-thirds of the
nabon'sdesignated Wilderness zones,
90 percent of its refuge lands and 70
percent of all park lands, a new national
environmental group has formed to
lobby Congress exclusively on expand-
ing Wilderness designations in the 49th
state.
The first priority of the new Alaska
Wilderness League will be to convince
Congress to designate the Coastal
Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge as Wilderness. The League is
likely to be unpopular in Alaska where
a clear majority of residents favor re-
sponsibie oil 'development on the
Coastal Plain, America's most promis-
ing onshore oil and gas prospect.
The organization's chairman is
former Rep. Bob Mrazek, a New York
Democrat who led battles in the House
to reform management of the Tongass
National Forest and to turn ANWR's
Coastal Plain into Wilderness. The re-
sults of Mrazek's efforts have been felt
in Southeast Alaska where the Alaska
Pulp Corporation recently announced
the September 30 closing of its Sitka
pulp mill. Tongass reforms are largely
to blame for the closure and the subse-
quent loss of hundreds of jobs.
"We're not just a bunch of Outsid-
ers trying to lock up Alaska," Mrazek
said in a,prepared statement. "We're
interested in seeing Alaska move to-
ward a sustainable economy..."
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens
sniffed at the idea that Mrazek would
be behind any environmental initia-
tives promoting economic diversity for
the state. Stevens noted that Mrazek
and the environmental community have
fought to stop mining, logging and of
development in Alaska.
"Whet would they like us to diver-
sify to?" Stevens asked. "Maybe we

mine would range from $110 million to
$620 million.
Windy Craggy became a lightening
rod for environmental activists, who even-
tually attracted the support of Vice Presi-
dent Al Gore. The Vice President praised
British Columbia for setting aside the
region as a park, which U.S. officials
hope to merge with two national parks in
Alaska to create a 21 million -acre pro-
tected wilderness, the world's largest.
The area, about the size of Ireland, is
largely inaccessible to humans and
would be off limits to all development. It
is popular with river runners who pay
thousands of dollars to raft the
Tatshenshini and Alsek rivers.
Environmentalists claim Windy
Craggy's demise is one of the greatest
conservation victories since the pas-
sage of the Alaska Lands Act in 1980.
However, newspaper columnist Terence
Corcoran warned that the decision to
create the huge wilderness preserve is
yet another example of "mail-order pro-
fessional environmentalists seizing the
public agenda on economic develop-
ment."
"Today, no government dares lift a
finger in favorof a new mine or resource
project lest one of these interest groups
Andrus, who as Interior Secretary un-
der President Carter was instrumental
in putting 104 million acres of Alaska
into parks and refuges through the pas-
sage of the Alaska Lands Act in 1980.
This group purports to be a 'good
mix of Alaskans' and others from out-
side the state, when a close look at their
board of directors reveals just one
Alaska resident," said Debbie
Reinwand, executive director of Arctic
Power. "We view this group's efforts as
a direct slap in the face to Alaskans --
what they are saying is we are not
responsible enough to chart our own
future on land use issues."
Reinwand said Alaskans view the
creation of the Wilderness League as a
rallying cry to arms.
"if they intend to lock up ANW R, they'd
best understand it won't come easy."
fly into a public relations rage and spread
fear throughout the population of a pos-
sible environmental apocalypse,"
Corcoran said.
The Canadian decision has brought
relations between government and indus-
try to a new low. Miners claim policies are
driving industry out of the province.
Alaskan miners warn the Canadian
action was not an isolated example of
the mining industry being booted out.
They say similar policy decisions have
become the norm throughout the U.S.
In a recent front-page editorial, the
Wall Street Journal detailed how the
mining industry is relocating to South
America. The number of U.S. and Ca-
nadian mining companies operating in
Latin America has more than doubled
over previous years while exploration
spending in North America fell sharply.
"The companies are leaving the
U.S. with the blessing, if not open
encouragement, of the Clinton admin-
istration and Congress, which are pro-
posing even stiffer environmental regu-
lations and new royalties on metals on
public lands," the Journal said.
The environmentalists' Windy
Craggy victory will cost the region 2,500
jobs.

years the federal gove m ment has restricted

lands, Hic kel said. The statedeserves com-
pensation for the natural resources that
have been locked up, he said.
"Whats unique about Alaska is the
pattern of land ownership," Hic kel said.
'There was a guarantee that we would use
the land to create an economy."
A little less than two-thirds of Alaska is
owned by the federal government. The
state's economy is almost entirely based on
resource development, but ever-increas-
ing amounts of land have been put off limits
to development, locking up key resource
deposits vital to Alaska's economic health.
July 1993 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 7
But you awn the land .. don't you?
Across the nation, property owners are battling to protect their rights.
In South Carolina: David Lucas paid $900,000 for two beach front lots. He
planned to build private homes, but the state quickly passed an ordinance
outlawing all development on the beaches. Mr. Lucas sued. He had to take his
property rights battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that, if he
could not make reasonable use of his land, he must be reimbursed.
In Oregon: A couple purchased 40 acres of scrub forest after being assured by
the county planning commission that they could build their retirement home on the
land. Then the county changed its zoning laws, and told them they could not build
because the construction did not relate to development of forest resources. Their
property rights case now is in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In California: A couple purchased a beach front lot, where they wanted to build a
two-story home similar to others nearby. The California Coastal Commission said
they could build —if they gave the state one-third of their property for a park. The
couple sued. They also had to go the judicial distance. The U.S. Supreme Court
called the Coastal Commission's demand "extortion."
And in Alaska: A gold miner whose claims are within Denali National Park was
working a placer deposit according to sound environmental principles. The
National Park Service shut him down, telling him he couldn't mine if his operation
caused any surface disturbance. His property rights case now is in Federal District
Court ...
As environmental regulations proliferate at all levels of government, prop-
erty rights are being compromised with increasing frequency. Preservation
of cherished property rights requires constant vigilance and involvement by
advocacy groups. And action by us, the individual property owners.

The Kenai Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Kenai
Police Department is in the planning stages of developing a
"BUSINESS WATCH" program for our business members.
Crime in our local area is increasing and our goal is to provide
information to our business members advising of existing or potential
items of concern. This information could be in the area of
vandalism, NSF check concerns, shoplifting, etc.
This vital information would be faxed to the Kenai Chamber of
Commerce as it becomes available from the Kenai Police Department.
The Kenai Chamber staff would then fax to approximately ten(10)
members who would be responsible for faxing to two(2) additional
members. At present, we need to ascertain how many of our
members are interested in participating in this program. In addition
to the above, the Kenai Police Department will provide information
and seminars to interested businesses, providing training as to how to
become aware of potential problems, and procedures which can be
used to avoid problems.
If you would like to participate in the Kenai Chamber of Commerce
"Business Watch" program, please complete the bottom of this letter
and either fax to the Chamber at 283-7183 or mail completed form to
402 Overland, Kenai, Ak. 99611. If you have any questions, please
don't hesitate to call.

Dear Mr. I li
Ke , as we discussed earlier this spring, I plan to seed the area
in front of Dairy Queen and the Forest Drive intersection. The
crew in Soldotna has been very busy and I apologize for not getting
it done sooner.
The guardrail is a project I would like to get done but for the
past two summers we have not gotten that far down on our priority
list.
The strip between the sidewalk and the street in all honesty will
not be done unless a special appropriation is made strictly for
that project. I do not have the funds or the personnel to
accomplish this job.
I thought our street sweeping went off rather well this year,
especially in Kenai. As we discussed when we began our street
cleaning this spring, we could find no suitable dump spot in Kenai
as the brooms would get stuck. If we could have a spot of your
choosing made available for our brooms it is conceivable we could
get an earlier start in Kenai. If you recall we discussed the big
area by the ball fields.
Thanks again for your continued
be of further service.
incerely,
George Church

a mechanism for balancing the many different kinds of needs that have historically
been present in Alaska as well as the anticipated needs of the future. The criteria

Dear Ms. George:
I received John D. Horn's letter of July 12, 1993, concerning project priorities a few days ago.
Yesterday I received Commissioner Campbell's letter of July 2, 1993, which made Mr. Horn's
letter a little more clear.
I understand that DOT/PF is making some major changes in the ISTEA program and the state's
STIP.
The City of Kenai has two projects that have been included in the Kenai Peninsula Borough's
(KPB) priority list for ISTEA funds.
Forest Drive is a Class III State maintained road that needs improving. If the State was to
properly upgrade Forest Drive the City would be willing to take over the maintenance.
The Mission Street Improvement Project has been listed by the KPB for ISTEA enhancement
funds for FY94.
I have enclosed project descriptions and justifications for these two projects.
Sincerely,

DATE: July 23, 1993
SUBJECT: Aw&&Wed Damigfmo and Jusfificadons- LSTEA
According to your request I have written up the following project description and justifications.
FOREST DRIVE
Project Description
This project will reconstruct Forest Drive from the Spur Highway north 1.0 mile
to Redoubt Drive. The existing rural ditch and culvert, strip paved section will
be replaced with underground storm drainage, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and a
new bike/recreation path.
Project Justification
Due to underlying frost -susceptible materials, Forest Drive experiences severe
frost heaving. The large bumps and pavement fractures create an unsafe situation
in this rapidly growing residential area which also serves an existing grade school
and is being planned for another. The open ditch drainage system is inadequate
to accommodate local runoff and side street drainage. Also, the existing
sidewalk/bike path is heavily damaged and hazardous for walking, running, and
biking.
MISSION STREET 04P'RO 05CE TS
Project Description
This project will place paving, curb and gutter drainage, parking areas, street
lights and sidewalks in Kenai's heavily visited Historic District. The Russian
Orthodox Church, Church Rectory, Fort Kenai, and several residences and
businesses will be served by the new street.
Project Justification
At present, this area is served by a dirt/gravel travel way that is dusty, muddy,
and poorly drained. Adequate parking is not available for the many visitors cars
and tour buses. The new street and parking area will greatly improve our Historic
District and benefit the local residents and businesses.

NCL Names 1993 All -America Cities
The 1993 All -America City Award
Program climaxed on the evening of
Saturday, May 23 when ten AID -America
Cities were announced by former Hawaii
Governor William F. Quinn. The
announcements followed three days of
jury presentations and other activities in
Tampa, Florida, where Mayor Sandra
Freedman and Florida Governor Lawton
Chiles had officially proclaimed an "All -
America City Week."
Operated since 1949 by the National
Civic League (NCL) and sponsored since
1989 by The Allstate Foundation, the
All -America City Award Program
annually recognizes ten communities for
constructive citizen participation and
collaboration of the public, private and
nonprofit sectors in identifying and
solving critical issues. The 1993 All-
flo� America Cities are:
• Oakland California
• Wray, Colorado
• Delray Beach, Florida
• Wichita, Kansas
• Dawson County, Nebraska
• Washington, North Carolina
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Pulaski, Tennessee
• Forth Worth, Texas
• Laredo, Texas
All -America Cities Reflect Ethic of
Community Involvement, Pride
The ten winners were selected from
among 30 finalist communities named in
April. The Jury presentations, at which
the 30 finalists formally present their
community projects before a panel of 12
distinguished public affairs specialists, is
the final stage of the annual award -
selection process.
Both Finalists and Winners are
Distinguished
William Quinn has served as
foreman of the Jury since 1983. Remark-
ing on the record applicant pool of 151
communities ftom which the 30 finalists
were selected. Quinn stressed that "Both
the ten winners and the 20 remaining
finalists deserve our recognition and
respect. The progressive spirit and grass-
roots activism of these 30 communities is
all dw nrae+a teitimrkeble giiv= the broad
field>E owhichrtbek.weaesslecoW`
The 20 remaining All -America City
Award Finalists include:
• Pasadena, California
• Porterville, California
• Redwood City, California
• Galesburg, Illinois
• Newton, Iowa
• Lindsborg, Kansas
• Owensboro-Daviess County,
Kentucky
• Bowie, Maryland
• Prince George's County, Maryland
• Jackson County, Missouri
• Grand IsW4 Nebraska
• Mocksville, North Carolina
• Southport, North Carolina
• Winston-Salem, North Carolina
• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
• East Providence, Rhode Island
• Plano, Texas
• Yakima, Washington
• Black River Falls Area, Wisconsin
Incentive for Others to Excel
Substantial benefits accrue to
recipients of the All -America City
Award, inddding an enhanced regional
and national image and economic
development due to recruitment of new
businesses and residents. More impor-
tantly, national recognition of the
collaborative efforts of All -America
Cities — and broad dissemination of
their experiences and techniques — is an
encouragement to other communities to
undertake similar projects and activities.
The projects and programs for which the
ten 1993 All -America Cities were
recognized are summarized on pages two
and three of this issue of Civic Action.
Finalist Pool Diverse Geographically
and Demographically
The 30 finalists came from 18 states
representing virtually every region of the
nation. Ranging in population from
2.000 (Wray, Colorado) to over 350,000
(Cleveland, Ohio), the ten winning
communities dramatize the advantages of
pooling local and regional resources and
working collaboratively.

tives of community -based organizations
and other nonprofits of cutting -edge
patterns of corporate involvement in their
host communities and corporate motiva-
tions for fostering employee engagement
in local politics and other community
affairs.

Oreanizations: Richard Steckel, author of
Doing Best by Doinq Good: and Howard
Rothman. author of Companies with a

and the Community" symposium were
the necessities of 1) integrating business

society that legally created them and
sanctions their activities, and 3) under-
scoring the critical role of the private
sector in public problem solving.

Wray, Colorado (Pop. 1.999)
Located on the eastern plains of Colorado,
Wray faces the common small-town problems of
retaining young residents, furnishing adequate
health and social services and providing
meaningful job opportunities while preserving
its spirit of neighborliness. Prior to 1992, any
Wray resident requiring, physical rehabilitative
therapy food a duee-how drive. The commu-
nity also lacked adequate retaevieml facilities.
To fill those mods. a rim pa of public and private
sector partners raised the funds necessary to
construct and staff the Wray Rehabilitation and
Activities Center, which features rehabilitative
and athletic facilities and offers fitness, crafts.
tutoring and other programs. To enhance the
quality of medial services in their community
while solidifying its standing as the center for
health are in its rural region, Wray's citizens
approved a S6.5 million bond issue to fund the
construction of a new, state-of-the-art hospital
which will emphasize family -oriented as well as
acute and specialty medicine. Responding to
rising incidences of child abuse, teen pregnancy
and general disruption of the family, a consor-
tium of human service professionals, business
leaders and concerned citizens organized the
Family Center Project, which offers parenting
classes. counseling, advocacy, and other human
services.

A progressive community with a stable

intensification of social problems plaguing the
community's urban core. Rising to these
challenges, four public and nonprofit agencies

Washington. North Carolina (Pop. 9,075)
Rocked by the negative publicity of a
water-supply,pollution scandal and a murky
local murder case that made national headlines
and inspired two television movies, residents of
Washington were dramatically reminded that no
community — regardless of site -- is immune
to turmoil. To extend the promise of decent,
affordable homeownership to more local
residents, a nonprofit community development
corporation launched Project Homo which.
through the cooperation of a local lender and the
assistance of federal Housing programs, has built
30 homes for families earning as little as 30
percent of the county median income. Project
Home is now pursuing plans for substantial
additional activity in the areas of renovation and
multi -unit housing construction. Distressed over
the presence of carcinogenic contaminants in
Washington's drinking water supply, the city
entered into a multi -jurisdictional agreement to
construct a new water putiflcaalon systr m which
will produce effluent suitable for use by a local
textile industry. To encourage greater minority
participation in civic and cultural events of the
Washington -based Beaufort County Arts
Council (BCAC), a citizertcommittee spear-
headed a comprehensive reformatting of the
organization's p0bgr'amming, placing greater
emphasis on black culture and artists. African -
American attendance and membership are now
higher and an African -American woman
currently serves as president of the BCAC.

Cleveland, Ohio (Pop. 505,616)
Earning the label "Tbe Comeback City,"
Cleveland has made great strides toward

confrontations between police and citizens that
occurred in a number of Cleveland neighbor-
hoods during the 1960s and 1970s, the commu-

Pulaski, Tennessee (Pop. 7,916)
Downtown blight, a troubled public
! housing system, scandal at the top of city
government, and corm invasions of the Ku
Klux Klan to "celebrate" the Martin L iher
King, Jr. holiday caMribated to a cho tle of
helplessness, confusion and indignation in
Pulaski. Vowing to improve their community's
economic circumstances, an all-voluraver
committee of civic activists, business advocates
and other leaders developed a marketing plan for
industrial recruuitnmang while taking pains to
mabdam positive relations with existing
employers. These dFa ts, combined with a
vocational training grogram for high school
students. contributed to the recruitment of six
new industrial concerns and the expansion of
two existing firms, generating 1,200 new jobs.
An element of load history of which most
residents are not proud is dos fact that Pulaski is
the site of the the Ku Klux Klan's founding in
1865. Citizem of Pulaski were outraged when
white supremacist groups chose their city for an
annual "homecot mif after federal enactment of
the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. To counter
the regular invasiioma, citizens established an
annual Brotherhood Week dedicated to realizing
the dream of a racism -free community.
Moreover. in an unprecedented gesture of
coordination and commitment. a grass -roots
effort ensured the voluntary closing of all
businesses and virtual desertion of downtown
Pulaski When the white supremacists marched in
January of 1990, thus frustrating their bids for
attention and converts. Finally, clean-up, self-
government and skills -building activities
undertaken in the early 1990s have reduced
crime and drug activity in Pulaski's public
housing sector, permitting it to "re -join" the
larger community.

Spring Issue of REVIEWSpotlights "Civic Infrastructure"
Why are some communities successful at
solving their problems and sustaining
prosperity while others are not? The
Spring 1993 issue of the NAT10NAL CIVIC
REVIEW posits and develops the concept
of "civic infrastructure" as a useful
metaphor for answering this key ques-
tion. The symposium section is opened
with an essay by REVIEW publisher John
Parr, defining civic infrastructure as a
complex interaction of networks. norms
and practices by which decisions are
made and problems solved in communi-
ties. Other symposium articles appearing
in this issue include the following:
- "What Malms Democracv
Work?," by Robert D. Putnam. Certain
communities do not enjoy a more vital
civic life because they are prosperous,
they are prosperous because they have a
vital civic life. How do you make
democracy work better? Start by
strengthening the norms of trust, reci-
procity and civic engagement that are
indispensable to collective existence.
- "Leadership and the Design and
Use of Forums, Arenas and Courts,"
by Barbara C. Crosby and John M.
Bryson. Communities need many leaders
who understand people, groups, organi-
zations, institutions, and communities,
both as separate entities and as parts of
complex interorganizational networks.
Increasingly, effective leadership
demands the ability to communicate
vision to a diverse audience and knowl-
edge of the vast array of venues in which
decisions are made. conflicts are resolved
and action is initiated.
- "Building New Arenas for Civic
Renewal: Smaller American Cities,"
by Suzanne W. Morse. Home to some 40
million Americans. smaller and medium -
size cities contribute an important
dimension to the economic. social and
cultural life of the nation and its reeions.
Sharing many characteristics with large
cities — including the range of urban ills
— smaller cities may nonetheless possess
some unique civic capacities to hasten
their renewal. Moreover, their experi-
ences may hold lessons for our largest
urban centers.
- "Governance and the Civic
Infrastructure of Metropolitan
Regions," by Allan D. Wallis. Renewed
interest in regional governance is evident
around the nation as metropolitan areas
attempt to address the challenges of a
globalizing economy. environmental
quality and social equity. Regions with
strong community -based. intersectoral
networks for decision making and
problem solving already have a strong
advantage: those that don't will have to
try to stimulate its development or risk
inexorable decline.
- "The New Civic Infrastructure:
Intersectorai Collaboration and the
Decision -Making Process," by Jan Grell
and GarjrGappert. Devolution to the
states and localities of responsibility for
economic development, funding of
essential services, and many planning
functions occurred at a time of greater -
than -ever integration of the U.S.
economy and unrelenting competition
from abroad. What we needed was
greater coordination but the response was
increased fragmentation. Now and in the
future, the external and internal chal-
lenges facing our economy and society
must be addressed through linkages and
relationships among sectors and institu-
tions.
Other feature articles appearing in
this issue include a study by John David
Rausch on the effects of local govern-
ment term limits and a paper by David
Saffell on the congressional representa-
tion of rural communities. Examining
the experience of San Mateo County,
California — the only jurisdiction in the
United States where term limits have
been in place long enough to have
prevented an incumbent from seeking re-
election — Rausch assesses the extent to
which proponents' claims have been
sustained by actual electoral outcomes
and voter-tumout patterns. Saffell
analyzes the voting record on six bills of
interest to rural communities to assess the
quality of representation received by
small-town America during the 1980s.
In addition to these full-length
articles, the Spring 1993 issue of the
REVIEW features Citizen Democracy,
Proportional Representation. Restoring
