ITEM 4:
OLD BUSINESS
Porter distributed a newly developed brochure discussing preparation of wills and
giving general information. She noted she developed the brochure and it was printed
locally.
ITEM 5' NEW BUSINESS
Sa. Memorial Services at Center- Porter explained it has been a policy in
the past to allow holding of memorial services for seniors at the Center at no cost if
the senior used the Center. However, a concern was raised recently because a
service was held and the person's body was brought to the Center. Some Center
users felt this was inappropriate. She requested the Council on Aging discuss the
matter and set a policy.
Meeks stated he had no objection to holding memorial services at the Center,
however he agreed having the person's body was inappropriate. He added, it is
distressing to some to be reminded of one's longevity. Huddleston stated he felt the
COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING
AUGUST 25, 1998
Page 2 of 4
same. He added, the Center is primarily an eating and gathering place to enjoy.
Having services with the body present can be hard for one to enjoy the facility later.
Meeks noted, he was nOt against using the facility for memorial services Enfield and
Arness agreed. ' '
MOTION:
Member Arness MOVED that the Center be used for memorial services only. Member
Meeks S~OI~IgD the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDIgRED.
5b. Change in Residency Requirement/Vintage Pointe- Porter
explained, originally the residency requirement for Vintage Pointe was 65 years of age
and an Alaska resident for one year. Then, because of federal requirements, the age
requirement was changed to 62. Porter continued, in the recent past, there have
been apartments available and no one on the active list or no one on the inactive list
wanting to move into them at this time.
Recently, she has received requests to move people into the facility who have not
lived in Alaska for one year but have family who are long-time local residents and
who would like to arrange for them to live at the facility. Porter noted, she discussed
the matter with City Manager Ross and suggested to him the residency requirement
be dropped. She suggested the people who were originally meant to be served by
having the one-year residency requirement have been. She also suggested a different
type of elder be attracted to the facility- tho~e who have family living in the
community who need a place for a parent. Porter suggested the residency
requirement be changed to 30 days.
Huddleston suggested the residency requirement be dropped to 30 days. Those on
the list would still have first choice and if none are interested in mom§ into the
facility, offer the vacancy to whomever wants to move into the facility. Hollier stated
she was not in favor of that. Meeks stated consideration should be given to offering
apartments to those who have an immediate relative in the area. However, he was
not sure the apartments should be offered to just anybody.
Enfield suggested the residency requirement be changed for a year and see how it
works out, changing it back if necessary. Swarner stated she believed it would be
· difficult to go back to the one-year Alaska residency.
Porter explained there are no names on the active list and no one on the inactive list
wants to move into the facility at this t. ime. Meeks asked if people are waiting for a
particular apartment to become available. Porter answered no, they are told from the
beginning there are no special arrangements made for specific apartments. However,
after moving into the facility, one can request to move into another apartment when
it becomes available. Porter added, it is to the Senior Center's advantage to keep the
COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING
AUGUST 25, 1998
Page 3 of 4
apartments occupied. An addition to the facility will not be built if there are
vacancies. Additionally, funding to add to the facility would be hard to get if there
are vacancies.
Arness asked if a person on the inactive list would still have preference if an
apartment becomes available. Porter answered, the person's name would first be
placed on the active list and then the person would need to be ready to move when
an apartment becomes available. If the person decided to move back to the inactive
list, they would go to the bottom of the inactive list. Porter noted, it is a natural
desire to protect the housing for people who have lived in Alaska for a long time.
However, the facility has been operating for six years and it seems those local people
have been housed.
MOTION:
Member Enfield MOVED to change the residency requirement to 30 days as long as
there are not people on the inactive list that want it. Member Amess SECONDED the
motion.
VOTE:
Meeks: Yes Arness: Yes Enfield: Yes
Huddleston: Yes Hollier: No Wiese: Absent
Billings: Absent Burton: Absent Nelson: Absent
MOTION PASSED.
Enfield suggested the rule requiring residents of the facility to not be gone for more
than three months might need to be changed. She suggested this might encourage
people to want to move into the facility or stay in the facility. Porter stated the
original intent of that requirement was so the complex would be available for people
who lived in Alaska, and not used as summer residences. Hollier stated the original
rule required a person to sell their home. Porter noted, the apartment has to be the
person's primary residence.
5c. Budget Review- Porter included a copy of the Center's budget with the
Aging packet for the members' review. She noted, more money was received from
United Way this year. Also, the budget will have to cover costs related to the
purchase of a new steam table, and dishwasher for the Center. She added, all the
costs in regard to the steam table and one-half the cost of the dishwasher will be
borne by the Center. However, because of the extra funds from United Way and
donations from Exxon and Phillips, the budget should be okay.
Discussion followed regarding rental of the facility. It was noted the income from the
rentals is kept by the Senior program. Porter also reported on the concern voiced at
the May meeting in regard to the Borough's financial support of other programs
COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING
AUGUST 25, 1998
Page 4 of 4
serving seniors in the Borough. She noted, the directors of the Borough's senior
centers met with Mayor Navarre. They explained their fear of the funding now
distributed to the senior programs being diminished with other programs in the
Borough seeking the same funding. Mayor Navarre supported the recommendations
of the area-wide directors to support start-up funding only. The Mayor is also to
appoint a committee by September 30 to develop a new ordinance.
Porter also noted the USDA reimburses their program for meals served at $.52 per
meal. The budget reflects an estimate of the reimbursement.
Sd. Directors' Resignation- Porter explained she submitted her intent to
retire. However, her last day will be in mid-November as she has leave time to use.
Porter reported the job description and advertisements have begun (local/state
newspapers, The Senior Voice, and to other senior centers in the state). The hiring
will be.done by the city manager, however she may be involved with the initial
screemng of applications. There will probably be a panel of people conducting the
interviews.
The members were also informed they can request a copy of the job description from
Kim Howard at City Hall. Also, after a new director is hired the board can let the city
manager know if they have concerns of how the Center is being run. However, she
noted the members should first take their concerns to the new director. Porter noted,
the applications are to be submitted by September 16 and the new person should be
hired by October 1.
The members agreed Porter has performed her job beyond the call of duty and they
are very appreciative.
Se. Annual Council on Aging Board Meeting- Porter reported the annual
meeting will be held on September 12 in Soldotna beginning at 5'00 p.m. Porter will
call the membership of their intent to attend.

NEW BUSINESS
Introduction of Airport Manager Steven T. Atha
Holland reminded the Commission that at the last meeting they
requested to see a copy of Mr. Atha's resume. A copy was included in
the packet. If anyone had any questions, Atha was available to answer
them.
®
Atha stated that it is going to take a little time to read the contracts and
get a feel for what everyone needs before he becomes very active. Atha
sees some good things as potentials and with advice from the
Commission, good policy making and good management, the team should
be able to do what the community needs. A fresh set of eyes can at least
give a new perspective.
Knackstedt stated marketing was inclement in the back of his mind as
the float plane basin is way underutilized. After a general discussion
Atha noted that all areas could be promoted as Kenai has a lot to offer
with the float plane basin, gravel runway, grass strip, asphalt runway and
fuel services. There are not a lot of airports that can provide all those
services.
A lengthy discussion took place on the Soldotna airport and its future.
Knackstedt noted a new hangar was being constructed. It was the
general consensus more promotion was required to get more general
aviation into Kenai.
Atha stated he would be happy to meet everyone on an individual basis
and suggested lunch.
The Commissioners commented they liked sitting around the table rather
than up on the podium. It was decided the meetings will be held around
the table unless there were people in the audience then the podium
would be used so the Commission is not sitting with their backs to them.
AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
ae
Taxiway "C' Project
Holland reported the sandblasting crew has been on the runway the past
two days to remove the old runway markings. It is anticipated the
identifier painting and some centerline striping will take place early next
week.
Thibodeau asked ,about the status of the gravel runway. Holland replied,
some signage for me new runway is on back order so it had been decided
to hold off until the signs are received.
Holland reported the fie-downs were being marked on August 13, 1998.
It was noted nobody signed up for the spaces yet which is frae because
Atha and Holland will be reviewing the rates for all services.
It was also noted the grass strip will remain open until the gravel runway
AIRPORT COMMISSION ME~ING

is operational.
Holland noted the furniture was moved around in the terminal and asked
Commissioners to stop by to give some input. The change was made to
open up the center area more.
The smoking issue was discussed and Holland reported there had not
been too many complaints and things seem to be quiet. Atha reported he
had experienced this in the past and it's really a no-win situation. It is
anticipated more complaints would be made once the weather gets colder.

GOECKE.
Public hearing open -- Verbatim Begins
Eunice Mulholland, Box 252, Kenai, Alaska 99611 - I live across the
street from where you want to put the Five Iron Subdivision. When the
golf course was put in Mr. Williams said that part of land would never
been touched...that that would be left for the .... the difference between
the ah... golf course and the people that live on Lawton. Now you want
to make it into small plots where you could put up tri-plexes, duplexes,
anything that .... that goes. We don't want duplexes and tri-plexes down
there. You can't keep the kids of the street that live down on Candlelight
that have the tri-plexes and duplexes fight on the highway. We cannot
controln.., control the speed. The people drive by there 100 mile an
hour day and night. We Ye called the police many, many times over to
tell em' they're using this as a drag strip. If you put these in down there
we're going to have some problems. There's going to be children that's
going to be run over, it's going to be a mess and I have also a list of
names of people in that area, signatures and...and letters. We do not
want this subdivision. We do not want it rezoned.
Glick: You say you have a list of names there?

Mulhollaud: Yes, I do Sir.
Glick: Okay, would you write your name and address on the paper up
there too please.
Mulholland: Yes, I will.
Gllck: Okay, thank you.
Bryson: Mr. Chair, I have a couple questions.
Glick: Ah, yes, there's a question here for you Ma'am.
Bryson: Our hearing ah...tonight is for a variance request, it is part of
that subdivision, and .... you have no comment on the variance you are
opposed to the subdivision period.
Mulholland: Well, we really don't want this subdivision at all and we
don't want that size of lots down there with duplexes and tri-plexes
stacked on top of each other and no place for the kids to play. They're
not going to play on the golf course. There's not going to be a place for
the kids to play, they'll be out there in the middle of the street. The
other day there was two little kids on a bicycle, on their right side of the
road, got run off by a speeding car which happens constantly, down this
street, back and forth, back and forth. The golf club, the course was a
good thing. Everyone enjoys that but to try to put housing in there for
families if ridiculous.
Bryson: On the side of the house, I .... I .... I assume you ah... have
ah...ah...lot on the ah... north side of that ah .... of Lawton. Ah .... that is
able to be developed ah...to ah... the multi-plex ah... level that you are
speatdng ah .... you...you don't want the other side developed is...is..is..
Mulholland: We don't want the across .... between the golf course and
Lawton. We don't want that developed, No.
Glick: All fight,, is there anyone else in the public wishing to speak to
this item? Thank you Ma'am.
Steve Wendt, 102 Candlelight, Kenai, Alaska - Ah... I would like to
hear from applicant ah...their reasons, you know, for requesting a
variance.
Glick: That's the City of Kenai, Marilyn would you like to...
Kebschull: This lot ah .... these lots were subdivided by the City and the
subdivision already exists. At the time that the subdivision was ah... the
land was subdivided um...it was overlooked that the lot sizes did not fit
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 4
the zone. We're in a recreation zone which requires 20,000 square foot
for each lot. What they did when they made the subdivision was they
built the lots size to match the water and sewer .... um stub-outs that
exist along there and um... it was just an oversight on...on...our part, the
Borough's part, everyone's part. The subdivision, so, as we talk about
development, the subdivision has already been approved, is already
platted, it does exist. When the City realized that mistake they had two
choices, they either come back in and ask for a variance for minimum lot
size which in a recreation zone is 20,000 sq. ft. or they could ask for a
rezone. To rezone it to um... another zone which would allow less
square footage, such as surburan residential, which is only 7.200 sq. ft.
per lot. The...the recreation zone, just to clarify it at this time, does
allow up to three family dwellings on any lot in that zone, so we're not
asking for.., to change the use of the zone, we're only asking to change
the lot size in the zone.
Wendt: I... I would be, you know, I .... ah...defer to you to represent me
and ah... I would think that you'd want to question them, my .... my
specific questions to the town then are, you know, according to your own
regulations, you're saying that ah .... you know, special conditions or
circumstances much .... must be present. What are thoseP Have .... have
you been satisfied with ah...that answer? I don't see any special
circumstances. That's what I'm asking you, you know...explain to me
special circumstance. I don't see any. It says that ah...you know.., the...
the special ci .... conditions are circumstances have not been caused by
the actions of the applicant. I woUld say to you, she just told us,
whatever special conditions she's pointing out were caused by the
applicant, and so, I would like for you to, you know, uphold your own
rules and regulations and deny the variance because I f'md no special
condition.
Glick: Mr. Smalley?
Smalley: Yeah, ah...on behalf of the City Council, one of the things that
we talked about was the possibility of having this ah...piece of
land...these .... these lots rezoned. Under the rezone they would come in
to a ca .... classification that would allow the lot sizes to go down to 7,200
sq. ft. ah...right now the smallest lot size is .... ah... 15,251, the largest is
21,112. Ah... the average is probably in excess of 16,000. In Council's
discussion, ah... they looked at Block 1, which is the first six lots,
basically if you look at ah...Lawton Street from Linwood through
Candlelight, those lots there, there's six of them. The discussion, it
centered around, with attaching covenants to the lots allowing no more
than ah two living dwellings, whether it be a townhouse style or
duplex ~[~le on those lots. On ah .... the second block, ah... between
Candlelight and the clubhouse or Hole 10, those lots, those seven lots,
which are the largest of the lots, no more than single family dwellings.
Ah .... and if those covenants would remain attached until the lots were
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 5
sold, developed and the property owner's wish to do otherwise.
Ah...they felt that that was probably in the best interest. The City has
had a lot of requests over the years to get these lots up for sale and build
on them...ah...because again the prime location on the golf course.
Ah...and...and that probably what's .... what's prompting ah... the City
into, you know, further looking into the development of these lots and so
on. And again, it was .... it was an oversight by the Borough and by the
City as far as the recreational zone because the zone that...the
consideration was based on the water and sewer and stub to the
properties...ah...I personally would prefer to see it 15,000 plus square
foot lot versus a 7,200 square foot lot. Ah... I .... I live on that street as
well, I (chuckle) I'm very, very familiar with the traffic that goes up and
down especially the one last night about 11 o'clock. Ah...I...I think with
increase in ah... building in there you are going to find ah...probably
more supervision by the police department. I can't guarantee that but I
think that's just going to come automatically.., ah... I guess... I .... I'd
leave it at that but .... the Council was concerned and...and that's why
they put...they want those covenants attached to those lots.., ah...
Wendt: I guess my response would be ah...I... I believe that the reason
that it was zoned recreational is for one very simple reason and that's, it
is recreation and the town ah...has encouraged that, they butt a golf
course there,-they developed some ski and...and snowmobile or ski trails
in there that they groom with the snowmobiles and ah... it's ah... area
where ah... people jog and run and walk their dogs and the high school,
you know, uses it extensively, and ah... if you were coming and saying
ah...to me, we have ah... 10 lots here and 2 or 3 of em' are less than
20,000, you know, they're 17, 18, I'd say, hey, that's...that's fair.., you
know, ah...that ah... you know, would be something I could see as...as a
special circumstance, you know...you...you cut this up as...as well as
you can and you end up with a couple small ones, okay, you know.., but
I .... I really think that ah...you know that recreation means recreation
and if you ah... like you and I, live there, you know how much use that
gets and if the town is considering putting 75,000 sq. ft. lots, they're
really out of touch.., ah... you know, it's.., it needs to be ah...
recreational area where the .... the population or the density is low.
That's the reason that you put that ah...you know that limit on
that...that zone, is to keep, you know the population density low for
the...the ah...experience, the ah,.. the visual affect, of the golf course and
I really wonder, you know, are we interested in ah .... just selling some
more lots or um...are we, you know, interested in protecting more, you
know, than ah... just that little, you know, short term investment or
profit that we make of that. The golf course, you know, is a... is a key
asset of this community and ah... I think that you should spend a lot of
time and think hard, you know, before you change, you know, the...the
surroundings and, you know, really ah...bufld it up. I think, you know, a
lot better choice would be to stay with the recreational, come back in,
ah...you know, re-survey t°, as close to 20,000 as you can ah... and
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 6
ah...if you're talking about ah...you know, a re,survey and some plot
plans and ah...some sewer that's, you know, stub in, for sewer and
water, that's pretty minor expense and I think it was and...and should be
ah... attributed to the applicants. They're the people who did a survey,
they're the people who ah... put the water and sewer in and who stubbed
it in, they're responsible, you know, that's right here in your...in your
regulations, you know, if ~eY CaUsed, you know, they've caused these
special conditions, if there are any special conditions, so, ah... you
know, I would ah... I guess I'd close with saying, you know, that I only
see 1 of your 13 that meets .... 13 ah... lots that meets your ah...
specification. Ah...you know, like I said, I would, I could support you...if,
you know, 8 out of 10, or something like that that met that minimum
recommendation, so .... I appreciate your time.
Gllck: Thanks, any questions.
Bryson: Question, ah...now ah .... you know your idea of what a
recreational zone is may be different that what the City's defined it as,
~Aee.
Wendt: Okay
Bryson: This .... this recreation zone allows ah...commercial recreation
development also and you know, one component of that might be
ah...ah...ah...ah.., a pitch and putt type operation, it might be ah...a., or
vehicle racing facility, all those would be conforming to a resident..that
recreation zone. ·
Wendt: You're right, to...to.., quickly answer your question. I don't
know and.., and...maybe Mr. Smalley is telling me something that I don't
understand but he...he may be correct, he maybe rec .... representing me
quite well, I don't know, I don't know what that, ah...you know, the
changes would be. All I can go by is your letter and it concerns me, you
know, so, that's why I say to begin with, to start this off, I'm dependent
on you, you know, to follow these laws that you laid down and to
represent me, ah... you know, I depend you to do that, so...I would defer
to you and say you're fight, I .... I...could be setting myself up (chuckle) I
don't know...
Gllck: Okay, any other questions? All right,, thank you very much, we
appreciate your input.
Wendt: Thank you.

Dale Vieker {spelling}- I built most of Candlelight back in 1960...I think
it was 61, I got my home site and I'm against all this development
coming because you're taking out trees and the snow blows in there
terrible now. It never used to blow in there at all cause there was no
road, Candlelight dead end with my place but now the golf course is
there, I...I'm quite happy with the golf course but the wind comes in
terribly from the the inlet side and blows down there and there~ll never
be any trees to grow back in my lifetime to stop that snow and if you
take out more trees we're definitely going to have almost like that road
could block from wind and I would like to see em' continue that road
down and out past the schools so maybe half the traffic could go that
way and ah...get the speeders off there. I think most of them guys that
come from the golf course drive like they hit the golf ball, pretty damn
fast. I've called the police many times, I give up on that, and the kids on
Candlelight there, I think that the City must have went back many,
many years when they put them little undersized parkings there with no
room for kids, no.o.no playgrounds and barely room to park and kids
come coasting down from them things out on to the road on them
tricycles, I've just about run over kids which you can't see em' comin,
come out from between them cars. I've had kids come at me with them
three wheelers and have the one front wheel off the ground playing
chicken with me and I...I stopped because ah...they .... kids, some of em,
just ain't got it and of course I'm not against ah...you know, children or,
I would like to see em' have a nice to play, safe place and be supervised.
And what else, I don't know, ah... maybe we better have a stop light
there, maybe that would stop, I've counted 20 people going through
there in 10 minutes without stopping, and if you was going to write a
ticket for everybody that didn't stop there it would be over 1,000. So, I
guess I spoke my piece and I .... I guess I~l never have it quiet again in my
life.
Glick: Okay, thank you, we appreciate your comments. Anyone else in
the public wishing to speak to this item? Seeing none, we~l bring it back
to the Commissioners. Discussion:
Goecke: Mr. Chairman?
Glick: Mr. Goecke?
Goecke: I .... I have two things, first, the...the lot size is, to me, a little bit
misleading in that in a normal subdivision you have lots back to back.
Here, and that is kind of, to me, how this ah... lot size was ah... kind of
built...set up to be determined ah.. because of that. Ah..here on the
ah... what I'm going to call, the backside of the lot, there is...is nothing,
will never be anything but open spaCe because it's directly back on to
then the golf course. So, to me the ah... the lot size is ah... yeah, it's a
requirement and we need to urn.., to...maybe correct it ah.. at least with
ah .... a variance here this evening and ah .... but because of the wide open
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 8
on the backside, I have absolutely have no problem with ah...approving
the variance, however, I would like to, and I'm not sure that I can, but
u m.:.. have t~.ose .lots be sold strictly for single family units, no
p~exes, no tri-p~exes, just single family dwellings, and ah...
GHck: Is that an amendment?
Goecke: I would propose that as an amendment, yes.
(Hick: Okay, do we have a second for that amendment? Single family
homes only on the lots.
Bryson: For a second discussion I'd like to second the Motion ah... I
would also like to request that Mr. Smalley to report on the last Council
meeting at this time.
Gllck: Okay
Smalley: At the last Council meeting when the discussion came up
and.., and again I will repeat some the .... the .... information I mentioned
to Mr. Wendt. Council discussed the fact .... the history of it goes a long
way back, originally the City didn't beheve that those lots in there were
part of that recreational zone, we never...never even dreamed of it. We
just all along knew that eventually that those would be residential lots
and of course over the years we found out in discussions with the
Bureau of Recreation ah... that they determined that they were zoned
that and that they were subject to only specific kinds of development
and so on. Council had two discussions, do we want to rezone this
parcel or these two...of this...two lots...two blocks or do we want to try to
request a variance, a modification of a regulation and that's where the
discussion went around. Then the second major discussion dealt with
the development of those lots and what type of development ah... do we
want commercial entities in there, No. For a duplex to be built on Block
1, which is Linwood to Candlelight, those 6 lots, duplex or townhouse
portion, it would require a conditional use permit ah... and...and...and
it's maximum to that. On the second block, which are lots 7 through 13,
6 to 13, excuse me, 7 through 13, ah... Candlelight to basically Ten Hole,
or Hole Ten, ah.. those were single family. I encouraged the Council to
loo. k at. them as all single family dwellings ah... just because they're
prime lots on the golf course, ah...granted a rezone they could be much
smaller lots, there would be a lot more lots available, I really didn't want
to see smaller lots in that area, ah... I think it enhances the
development, if you're looking potentially at a home probably in the
neighborhood of 200,000 plus thousand dollars would probably be
developed to build on these 13 lots. Ah... we went around and had lots
of discussion as far as what the type of development and what the
Council basically came up and recommended was that no more than
duplex or townhouse type with conditional use permit on the first block,
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 9
the first 6 lots and then of course the single lots thereafter. That parcel
of land further down past the golf course would be left in a single unit
and so does the block. The possibility of multi-family type development,
tri-plexes, etc., could go down there because of the fact that there's
nothing .... nothing there, I...I mean it's land at this point in time.
Ah...and that's primarily where...what Council did with it. We really
opposed the rezone, we didn't' ah... feel we wanted to go through that
process as far as looking at the possibility of more lots again, ah... and
the whole thing started when the City felt when the road went through
there we just knew that those were going to be residential lots and that's
why the stubs were figured out the way they were, water and sewer.
Many years after that's when we found out that it was classified
differently, ah...since the City is the owner the City could again petition
for a rezone...I mean it's 100% of the ownership so all you need is 51%.
Ah...we just felt that...that we didn't really want to do that, that we felt
that we could ah...provide an opportunity there for the City...ah...to have
some nice size lots with some nice development and...and...and I .... again
I personally support single family units, I mean that's my own personal
bias, um...I guess that's the history.
Gltck: Mr. Goecke?
Goecke: Mr. Smalley, ah...if...if then my amendment should ah...pass,
what .... what would ah .... Council ah .... think of that, I mean from
discussion last Wednesday night.
Smalley: (Laugh) It would cause lengthy debate, ah... and probably
ah..again the...the rethinking, especially in light of the fact that we did
have some testimony tonight of why...why people are in opposition to
development there. And...and..and I think...I think Council basically
would make the decision that...that is...that they perceive is in the best
interest of the City and...and...and I .... there would be some discussion
and...and...I would hope movement but I...I cant' tell you there would be.
I...I think that the public testimony and..and...and ah... the folks even
perhaps coming to that Council meeting would be beneficial.
Gllck: Okay, any more discussion?
Bryson: Yes, several things, ah...I would like to mention ah .... present
development requirements for ah...adjacent ah...property, I .... such as
across the street in the private area, ah...it...it...the area is zoned rural
residential and it allows up ah .... 7 or more family dwellings dependent
on the size of the parcel or tract. Ah .... ah .... and I understand how
people can be concerned about it but I... I feel the...the City is
ah...making an effort to keep the ah...the density down by ah... what
they propose both...both at the Council and as part of the ordinance.., or
the variance. I will be voting in favor of the variance and the
amendment.

Ah... I had just a comment for you that you...you didn't think that you
have very many more years to live and...that you wouldn't have trees.
You know, if you just put a couple spruce trees they~l be really big in
about 8 years, really, really big, so, I hope that you have eight years and
could put a few of those little spruce trees they really grow big in about
8 years. '

GRAVELEY MOVED TO APPROVE PZ98-37. MOTION SECONDED BY
Public Hearing open- Verbatim begins:
Jim Richardson, 1015 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska. Mr. Chairman,
ah... Commission members my name is Jim Richardson, I'm...
ah...property owner at ah .... 1015 Angler Drive ah... just directly across
the street from the ah...site on ah .... 1010 Angler Drive and I'm limiting
my comments to that parcel. Um .... ah... speaking against the proposed
conditional use permit. I sent a letter to the Commission members
dated August 5, I hope you got that and had a chance to take a look at
it. There's several issues that I want to ah... bring up to you. Um .... I
guess perhaps most importantly that this should not be viewed, this
application should not be viewed separately from the Beaver Creek
Lodge. As noted in my letter to you, as advertising, ah...the property
owner and this applicant is ah... ah... Clint Coli§an ah... aka Capt. Bligh,
he does business as ah..ah... Capt. Bli§h's Beaver Creek Lodge. Ah... it's
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page ~ 2
noted in advertising and elsewhere that this is Capt. Bligh's ah... Beaver
Creek Lodge and Guide Service ah... another example on the ah... ah ....
Clark's Kenai River guide permit, um... Clint Coligan has 4 boats
registered to Beaver Creek Lodge and Guide Service. Um... I have
problems on it's own with that respect to that property as it relates to
zoning ordinances for the City of Kenai that I noted in my letter.
Basically, the issue, I believe, is the same on that the Council...the
Planning and Zoning Commission dealt with in July of 1995. At that
time the property owner for Beaver Creek Lodge came in to the Planning
and Zoning Commission asking for a conditional use permit to expand
the activities and development. Ah...there was ah... a great deal of
public comment and discussion and the Planning and Zoning turned
that application down based on concerns over disturbance, traffic
patterns, water quality issues and parking. This is basically a different
owner but the same problem and that ah... the fact that ah... it's ah...
different property owner ah... it creates a little bit of a misunderstanding
but it shouldn't change the ah... issue.
With respect to the issue of conditional use ah... permits, urn.., ah..
when I bought my property in 1989 I did understand ah... that it was
the...the ah ..... the idea was to encourage reasonable economic activity
on peoples property. In this case we don't really have any residents,
there's just a business ah.. being across the street from this property, I
could...ah...if this approved...I could look forward to ah...
un...ah...unadvised or unsupervised visitors wandering on to my
property as they go back and forth. I believe that this would be just part
and parcel of the activities of the Beaver Creek Lodge ah... located across
the street and down two lots.
I would like to address a little bit, just the concept of economic
development. Is this good for the City of Kenai? Um...I guess with...the
lots along there are not suitable for high density recreational
development, they're all long and narrow, about 100' wide, you can't
really have activities without affecting your neighbors and we certainly
feel that. Secondly, there's no City sewer in the area and the commercial
use ah... setbacks can't be ah.. be reached or maintained. Ah...gradually
what you get is ah .... diminished character of the neighborhood where
the parking lots get bigger and you end up with a gravel parking lot and
a building and we're getting that direction for some of the ah...activities
in the area. This really should be one of the best and...and...and nicest
subdivisions in...in...Kenai and it could be but ah...it's headed in a
different direction.
In...in viewing this as an economic benefit to Kenai in terms of
employment, I guess I would like to speak to that. This is what I do for a
living, I'm a research economist, I...I focus on this type of activity. I
wrote the economics chapter for the Soldoma Chamber .... for the
Soldoma ah...Comp Plan, I recently completed things like a sector review
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page ~ 3
for the City of Ketchikan and about 3 years ago I did a talk with the
Planning and Zoning Commission for the Kenai Peninsula Borough
dealing iwth the concept of...of recreation and I...ah...I guess one of the
things I'd like to do is offer to come in and talk some time
and...and...make ah... do a workshop session and talk about some of
those issues, but basically there's ah...ah.., quality price relationship for
what people are willing to pay to recreate. Urn... the more that you look
like Wasilla the less people are wi!!i~g to pay. Ah...then .... in... if you live
in Wasilla and you can...you can get out and go and .... on...on the fiver
and fish for $49.00 ff you go to Bristol Bay it cost $7,000 a week. There's
a reason for that. Ah...a doctor looks at a prime directive of first do no
harm and don't lose what you have and I guess looking at incremental
development one thing that I would urge is that know a little bit about
the industry that we're talking about, there's a lot of things going on
with recreation on the Kenai River. I spent 6 years on the Kenai River
ah .... ah .... special management board listening to what people have in
mind for the river. Ah...for example, there is big changes, anybody that
got out in the river knows a little bit about changes and resource
abundance patterns. There's ah... changes in...in...coming in
management in terms of ah... guided activities and basically the issue
that I would look at is do we really need a bigger guide...one more bigger
guide business on the Kenai. Ah...ff this business fails the community
is...is.., the one that pays. Urn... I guess in summary I...I ask that you
deny the application um .... ah .... and also completes ah ....
In a separate letter I asked for a review of the Beaver Creek Lodge 1988
conditional use permit and I'd like to make two offers ah... to the
Commission members. One is ah...I'd be available as a resource to come
in and talk with you in a workshop environment or however you might
want to do it about recreation ah... as an economic activity. And
secondly, urn... I meant to do this after the 1995 ah... presentation ah...
Councilman Smalley ah..noted that it appeared as if we had some
violations of the conditional use permits, specifically for Beaver Creek
Lodge but other areas and I meant to follow through and offer to ah .... to
take people on ah...on ah... tour of the area and I didn't get around to it
but I would like to do that if ah .... the Commission as a whole or
individual members would like to come and take a look at the area, get
to be a little bit more familiar iwth some of the things that are going on.
I would certainly ah... like to make time and...and help you do that.
Ah...with that, I ah...thank you for the opportunity to address you and
would open it for any questions that you might have.
Glick: Are there any questions of Mr. Richardson? If not, thank you
Sir, appreciate it. Is there anyone else in the public wishing to speak to

Clinton Coltgan, P.O. Box 4300, Soldotna, Alaska - my name is
Clinton Coligan, my wife Dody and we have leased...lease being a key
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page ~4
word here for Mr. Cowan who is the original owner of Beaver Creek
Lodge since 1986. We have taken on an entire lease from 1988. From
this time forward we have done nothing but increase and improve
conditions on Beaver Creek, I think of which these gentlemen would
agree wholeheartedly and I would back up with the photographs I've
brought iwth me to ~how you from past to present. As far as ample
space on the parking, we...he described our lot .... he has a single lot, we
have 2 and 3/4 lots which is almost 3 times more parking area, more
parking space. As far as increase of boat traffic, reading this letter where
he makes mention of 5 guided efforts, I have not 5 guided efforts, never
have had 5 guided efforts from Beaver Creek Lodge and actually this
year I have decreased and have proof here from my insurance company
where I have reduced my...my fleet to 1 single full-time guide, 3 part-
time guides, of which my 3 part-time guides all live totally removed away
from the Lodge, in most cases 2, Larry Wedin lives on Mile 10 on Funny
River Road. The boat, the one boat is kept at home and not even used
on the Kenai, obviously because it's closer to the Kasilof from Funny
River Road than it is from my residence. The other boat is a drift boat
which is occasionally left on my lot as it's convenient to come where they
driver, in this case, lives at my residence at Longmere Lake, and
commutes back and forth via Beaver Loop Road to take Kalifornsky to
reach Kasilof and does on... very much on occasion stop to pick the boat
up out of the yard before .continuing to greet the people.
As far as the statement here in this ah .... accusation of 5 guided boats, I
have never had 5 guided boats at Beaver Creek Lodge in my entire life, at
any given time. There are, right at this present time, 4 boats sitting in
the water which he fails to describe that we have conditional use permits
for two docks, each dock require .... will accommodate three boats. One
boat belongs to Mr. Cowan who comes approximately 3 times a year for
10 to 12 days, and at that time only upon his arrival does that boat get
put in the water at his dock and stays sitting. It rarely gets used but it's
there. My dock, the dock that I use for my particular own guiding
activities has two boats, two full time boats, guide boats, of which one is
used by ah... purely by ah...part-time guide, a Mr. Will Thayer who is a
neighbor on Angler Drive, living approximately 9 to 10 driveways below
us, who sometimes walks down to my lot to use the boat, sometimes
brings his truck down, all of which is irrelevant to the use that the boats
get. Bottom line is we have one full time guide operating from Beaver
Creek Lodge with one power boat, two power boats in the water which I
would like to compliment by showing you the photos taken as recently
as yesterday, of the boats and the boat situation as they have seen it
throughout the entire season. There's never been 5 guides working out
of Beaver Creek Lodge in its history or never anything close.
As far as ah... addressing other issues, ah... this thing all seems to have
gotten turned around and redirected towards the...my application for a
variance for a cabin. I have applied for a cabin because that was
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page ~ 5
expanded my business but not towards the Kenai River and not directing
towards guiding on the Kenai River which is we all know is a thing of the
past. My business has expanded by directing my business in other
'directions such as halibut fishing, fly-outs, sightseeing, tours, etc., etc.,
I do have a requirement for and have had a use for more
accommodations. I started by building two and I will use the term
loosely, cabins, they are extremely, extremely nice, 8' log homes as I
would show you also with the photos here at a cost of approximately
$80,000 a piece. I also accompany photos of this gentleman's cabin
which sits approximately 680 feet from mine through the trees where it
is virtually unattainable for him to see my operation or for me to see
him. I cannot see him, he cannot see me. In between this sits a property
of these two folks, that we accommodated them at a cost of $7,100 two
years ago when Mr. Cowan requested an addition to be built on Beaver
Creek Lodge property to...to accommodate his personal family. At that
time we were approached by Ralph and Marilyn and said they would not
contest if we, at our cost, would install a 6' high feeder...cedar fence
completely enclosing the property, which we have obligated and did. So
now, I would not know from one day to the next if they were on their
property or not, unless I went and peeked through the knot hole.
As far as parking in the area, I think I would welcome, I would
absolutely...it would thrill me to take each and every one of you over
there and walk you through Beaver Creek Lodge and show you and
operation that I would like to think is probably the nicest operation on
the entire Kenai River.
As far as increase of traffic or business, if you would check the quarterly
statements from this year, my revenue from this year from last year was
down approximately 38%. If that indicates an increase of business I
would sure like to know what the heck I'm doing wrong.
And now this third cabin in question which is across the street, which I
would like to present these pictures...is not only, does it not sit across
the street from this gentlemen's driveway, it sits much further down the
road past his place. On Angler Drive, when you make the comer .... the
comer, an abrupt 90, which is the comer where I built this cabin, from
that point to the end of the street, a distance of approximately 1,380
feet, there are 31 driveways, of which I have listed, and I just...lis .... listed
them briefly, there are approximately 12 to 13 other businesses doing
exactly what I'm doing. In most cases, using multiple boats, many more
boats that I am, I have no idea, I don't concern myself but I assume that
most of them are bed and breakfasts, but there are 13 of them. I am the
third driveway around the comer. How can this man make a statement
that my business, the third one around the comer from the upper end,
is causing the traffic that he's seeing when that same amount of traffic
must be going through those other 13 businesses, all located on down
past me. And in evidence I offer these photos taken yesterday, I would

like you to look at them please. That's the first cabin (showing Wemer-
Quade the photos) I built, it's these two cabins become totally irrelevant
because they're located 2 miles...2.7 miles down the road from Beaver
Creek Lodge, it has nothing to do with Beaver Creek Lodge except to
house guests that I book, which in turn yes, I may take them fishing, I
may taking them flying, I may send them halibut fishing, or may take
them sightseeing...

Coligan: These are the Dogwood cabins, this is the first cabin I built 3
years ago, this is the second cabin built one year ago and 2 months, I
assure you they are absolutely very nice, very plush cabins, they are
also on 4 acres of private property, no neighbors, you see no neighbors,
you see nobody...nobody around us. This is the interiors, this is the
cabin that we are requesting, this is the cabin that

Bryson: Sir, I'd .... I'd like to keep it to the subject at hand which is ah...
specific to the petition...
Coligan: It might pertain a lot to the reason that I'm here in the first
place if I give the opportunity or be given that opportunity to explain how
I come to met this gentlemen.
Glick: Well, I don't think that's pertinent. You have to tell us the
reasons you want this, hasn't got anything to do with what he said or
what somebody else says.
Coligan: You,ll see photos there the boats as they sat all season that
are parked at our dock, two guide boats. The photo that shows the small
boat, that's a 12' duck boat that he's used like twice a year. My wife and
I used it to go dip red salmon for two nights. It, unfortunately, is still
sitting at the dock but is definitely used as a guide boat. And my part-
time guide in the other power boat went exactly 9 times this year.
Nord: Mr. Chairing?
Glick: Okay, I think.., we Ye
Coligan: Ah... thank you very much -- I might also offer proof from the
insurance here of the number of licensed guides that work for us, i is

this item? Yes, Ma'am.
Dolores CoHgan, P.O. Box 4300, Soldotna, Alaska - Yes, my name is

this, we are talking less than 4 months out of the year, that's it, less
than four month.

C. Coligan: in the Clarion paper, we're out of business at this point. I
might have a trickle of 4 or 5 other persons between now and the end of
the month. I even brought a schedule if you care to see it. WeYe booked
a grand total in the month of August of something like 41 people totally.
Now, does that constitute a great amount of traffic, or does that not have
anything to do with the 14 other lodges below us.
Glick: Okay, Ma'am, you wish to speak also?
Marilyn Johnson, 1025 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska - Thank you for
allowing me to speak, my name is Marilyn Johnson. I live at 1025
Angler Drive. As Clint says I'm probably the closest driveway across from
the ah...new cabin that's going in. Um .... I guess I really want to really
primarily talk about the whole issue of...of planing and zoning and what
zoning really means to a property buyer. Ah... I'm a retired University
professor. When we decided that we were going to be able to retire ai~out
10 years ago, well a little more than 10 years ago, we started planning
for that future and we did so first my looking at the recreational
equipment .... or recreational property we owned at the time, and that
included all the things we thought we wanted. It's a beautiful lake with
swans on it, loons, beavers, (fflegible) and so on, but is was in the Mat-
Su Borough and as we checked around with what was going to happen
to the Mat-Su Borough in the future we soon found out that there were
less than no guarantees (chuckle) for how zoning was going to take place
when they started working that direction; and we simply didn't want to
put ourselves in the position of moving some place and living in an area
that was going to change drastically from what we had proposed as our
original move. So, we started looking for property, we came down here
and...and..started in Homer and went through a variety of sources to
look at property that we thought would in fact be rural residential and
offers us the things that we have had on the Mat-Su property as well.
We ended up on the Kens. i, we ended up on Anger Drive, we absolutely
love it there. We Ye been there 10 years now, we have a log cabin, we
have some out buildings that we've developed over time. For us it's our
little paradise but I think one of the problems is, is you go in with what
you think is a guarantee, that is going to stay somewhat like it was
planned because that's what the zoning says. Rural residential has
some specifications that we thought we could live with. We knew that
the Lodge was next door, we knew the Cooks that built it originally, so
we knew what that property was, we knew how this was all divided up
from the Ames property originally, we had contacts in the area. We still
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page ~ 9
thought we could live with it. What's happened and while I've been here,
I think this is maybe three, maybe four times in the last, however many
years we've lived, the 10 years we've lived here, is it seems like zoning in
this area happens on a defacto basis. You know, if somebody doesn't get
on it and get alert, the zoning may change so that you have an RV park
next to you, that was proposed at one point. Or, that you have ah .... a
gravel pit, that was proposed at one point. Or, that you just have great
increases in the size of... of various commercial operations.
Commercialism up and down Angler Drive is estranged a lot since we Ye
moved there 10 years ago. We're not opposed to all of it, some of it is
very tastefully done. We're not saying that Clint's isn't nicely done,
that's really not the issue but by putting something in back of us now,
Clint's on one side of us and he's in back of us, that's half away around.
You can't go any further, there's a lot...but you know, saving grace but
that really puts us in the middle of commercialization and we didn't buy
our property with that in mind. We didn't pay our taxes with that in
mind. I just think there ought to be some kind of...of promise to people
if their wi!!i_ng to invest in the city. We picked this city because we really
like it, and all American city, we like the library, we like the arts here, we
like the tennis courts here, and we use it all but we don't want to live
eve.ry year wondering, now what are they going to ask for next and how
is this going to change. It is going to increase traffic, that comer is
of....is an oddball comer, it's a fight angle turn that's very sharp, Clint's
cut a driveway like this through it. There's going to be two exits out of
that comer now and people buzz around that comer. Think there's not
going to be an accident there? It's not going to be Clint's fault, it's not
going to be anybody's fault, it's just the problem with trying to change
that much and as fast as it's all happened.
I hope you ll turn it down. I'd hate to see change that much more and I
also pick up on what Jim said, I really wish you would come down and
look at Angler Drive. I think it's a wonderful area. I don't want it to look
like some of the Soldoma developments along the river. I don't think
there's any reason for it to but it's really moving that way and it's moving
a lot faster than we ever thought it would.
Thank you for your time. Are there any questions?
Glick: Thank you
C. Coltgan: Can I ask you a question?
Johnson: Sure...sure...
C. Coligan: Actual measurements from Angler Drive to the physical
location of this lady's ah .... cabin or this gentleman's cabin is something
over 1,000 feet from the mouth of that. From either position they cannot
even see Angler Drive ....
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 20
Johnson: Oh, absolutely...
CoHgan: ...it can't be seen as depicted in those pictures. Those pictures
are taken at interval blocking from the front of their cabin half way down
their driveway including from the street. They cannot even be seen.
Johnson: Did I insinuate that we could see the property? I'm sorry if I
did. We intentionally had a road put in that you can't possibly see that.
C. Coltgan: Cannot be seen...
Johnson: ...but that isn't the point, we still all use the same road, we're
all gone be on the same river.., having proper~ next to you that is
commercial does change your world. I mean, they have a partdng lot,
but it also has RV's in it, the RV's look fight over the fence. That was an
agreement to build the fence because they were actually camping in
between two of our cabins from the Lodge, that's how the fence got built.
But the point is, it's just changing a lot and I really hope th'at somebody
will look at protecting the fights of the people who buy in thinking in fact
they chose, for a reason because that's what was specified in the rules
and regulations. Yes Ma'am?
Nord: My question is, when you purchased your property 10 years ago
was this Lodge there... 10 years ago?
Johnson: Yeah, yeah, I knew the Lodge was there. It was much a
smaller operation then, yes, I knew the Cooks who originally developed
the lodging, yes. Yeah .... and...I knew there were other things down the
road. Now, many, many more things are commercial down the road than
were before and that really has increased the traffic, but no, I knew that
and we actually survived quite well with it for a number of years, we
just .... it got increasingly more difficult, it's noisy, the latest dock is very,
very close the property line. You know, noise travels up a river. I'm
living with all that, I just don't know that it oughta start surrounding
me, and that's what I have a question about the property in back of us
which is the only ones on the agenda, I believe.
Nord: You...you feel that having ah...er...it looks like these are really
nice cabins, how do you feel about having a residential cabin
Johnson: Word residential cabin .... I ask .... I asked Clint when he ....
Nord: ...your residential area is going to detract from the property value
or from your quiet and peace of enjoyment...I don't understand...
Johnson: This is a commercial property that's coming in, it's going to be
rented to people who are going to be guided. Clint says they are going to
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 2~
be guided out of his operation that is going to places beyond. My
assumption, since it's Cowan Estates, is they are going to walk across
the street, and in spite of what this says, they walk down our driveway
to...just like they walk on everybody else's because they're lost. Theyql
walk across the street and they're going to be guided out of .... of the
existing Lodge next to us. It's just seems to me as a continuation. It
also appears that a lot of the lots have been ah .... that .... that Cowan
Estates and others have subdivided on that side of the road. This would
the first thing on the other side of the road and it is also the first lot in
terms of commercialization. I can see the same thing happenings as Hi-
Lo can't add anymore things to their property so they add across the
street instead, so the new .... will walk across the street, or the next one
the down and they walk across the street. It just seems to me at the end
it's bad planning, it all happens because people do it and everybody
says, oh well, you Ye already done, all fight, it just seems like it backing
in the door to planning and zoning.
Nord: Thank you.
Johnson: Thank you.
GHck: Okay, thank you Ma'am, Yes Sir?
Ralph Van Dusseldorp, 1025 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska - I also
speak in opposition to ah .... granting conditional use permit for the
Angler Drive property.
GHck: Sir, what was your name and address?
Van Dusseldorp: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Ralph Van Dusseldorp and I live. at
1025 Angler Drive, which is catty-cornered across from the ah... Angler
Drive property in question...
GHck: Okay...
Van Dusseldorp: As it's been said in anticipation of retirement 10 years
ago we bought a lot there, carefully checked the zoning and found it was
rural residential. At that time, I don't believe any conditional use
pe _rrn_its were given along Angler Drive at all. There were some illegal
operations. From about 1988 on a number of the lodge owners came to
planning and zoning, asked for a conditional use permits and, I think in
most cases, ah... perhaps all cases...they were given. You know, they
were kind of grandfathered ah...in perhaps. Ah...you know, we
considered other places. We had friends who lived at Porters. Some of
you know Porters, ah... a ways up stream from us. A terrible, terrible
place. Angler Drive could become the Kenai Porters, ah... it really could
if this is ah...it's...if this kind of thing is allowed to continue.
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 22
I want to be sure you understand that this property that Clint wants to
rent is an integral part of Beaver Creek Lodge. Ah...this is one of the
cards from Beaver Creek Lodge (held up brochure), you notice it says
Capt. Bligh's Beaver Creek Lodge and the plan of course if Capt. Bligh,
his name, his wife's name listed at the bottom, but also on this brochure
it says "you can rent one of our places...one of our lodges or one of the
two bed...one of....our 2 bedroom, 950 sq. ft. log cabins. This is what
he's talking about that's the Valhalla cabins that are already built and
this' is the one that he's now building. So this is really an extension of
Beaver Creek Lodge, it's not just another ah. ah. independent
operation. .. ..
Coligan: Excuse me...
Glick: You had your chance Sir...
Van Dusseldorp: Now I would like to approach the real problem. Until
two years ago, none of the area west of Angler Drive was developed. It
was just wilderness, we had moose over there, we had caribou, we had
coyotes, we had sand hill cranes, it was an undeveloped area. Two years
ago then, it was subdivided into 13 lots. Two homes have been built on
two of the lots, both of those homes are owned by owners of lodges.
Clint's building is the third building, so that's three out of 13, there are
10 more vacant lots. If you approve this one then how are you going to
turn down the next one that wants to do the same thing or the next one,
the next one, the next one, the next one and pretty soon you have 10
more commercial operations on our street; and then the two lodge
owners say we might as well turn our buildings into commercial
operations also, and we have a whole Angler Drive with nothing but
commercial operation. Now you may think, well, Clint has already
started construction, you know.., perhaps we oughta go ahead and
approve it because .... approve it because of that. We've had a lot of
controversy that last couple of years about zoning and about the
conditional use permits on Angler Drive. Clint has been involved with
those, he's been well aware of them. Clint knew before he ever started
construction that he's going to have to have a conditional use permit in
order to do what he wants to do. He should have applied one
properly...applied for one properly before he ever started ah...
construction, not wait until it's almost finished and then apply for a
conditional use permit, and ....
Finally I guess I just ask you to, you know...when you vote on this to
perhaps think of this. Imagine you live in my house, where I live and
think of how you would vote then...you know.., think of you would vote
to approve this knowing that if you approve this you have more
commercial oP...ah...commercial operations fight across the street and
pretty soon you're gonna have commercial operation all the way down
the street. Thank you.

Glick: Well...
Goecke: So...
Glick: they're available now to rent by the month .... so...you know, that's
legal to do in that...
Goecke: ~ght...
Glick: ...in that area. What he is wanting to do is it okay conditional
use to rent them by the night. If we grant that, he can do it any time he
wants to.
C. CoHgan (from audience):
Sir.
I would do it for three months of the year
Graveley: The term...the term...to...to...to define it, the term is the
cabin's in Northwood Dog...Northwood Dog Lane have been rented on a
short term basis. That's ..... that's what you're looking for. That's to
continue short term leases.
Glick: Well, it wasn't okay to do that to start with but...
Graveley: No...but that's ....
Glick: ...but with this it would be.
Graveley: .... that's what we're after tonight.
Glick: So that's what we'd be voting on, to approve them to rent it on a
short basis.

Gllck: That's just on his cabins now...
Gentlemen from the audience- Right...

Gentlemen from the audience: (Loudly) expressed desire to speak

you to testify so here's your chance.
Gentlemen from the audience: You were separate them...all right...
Ted Sadler, Kenai, Alaska - I'm Ted Sadler, wife Jeanie. We own that
lot directly south of you against the highway, Spur Highway. (addressing
C. Coligan) Your on Dogwood fight?
C. Coligan: Yes sir...
Sadler: Okay, our property is on Dogwood and Spur Highway. If
this...you pass this for this gentlemen I'm going to have cabins in there
because I came here 8 years ago to get a commercial deal for that lot of
mine; and, I don't know if you're same people that were here then or not,
but you told me then, "not until we get every lot in Kenai sold can you
have a commercial lot out there." I think .... and I'm mad about that, your
acting like Exxon. As long as you can keep your trial a running, and
running, and running, you~l make money and I can set there and bleed
to death. So, if you do approve it, I~l have cabins on that one and come
here and ask you for approval on that kind of a deal. Thank you.

Angler Drive .... and that's for...would be for short term rentals
or...everything that is covered in...any discussion on that? Mr. Bryson?
Bryson: Ah...just a...r.o.comment is passing. I find this somewhat ironic
that we're back in the Anglers Drive situation having had many, many
hearings ah...related to that ah...the original ah...recreation zone intent
was it would be appropriate for ah...ah...development similar to ah...
what was occurring in the Anglers Acres ah... area. The ah...property
owners in the area have not seen fit to petition for ah...a modification of
their rural residential zoning. I'm not sure why, I guess when they have
a conditional use they have no reason to change it. Ah...it may be that it
isn't...it is a business situation down there and it should be addressed
as such. And I .... I have some degree of compassion for the individual
that ah...bought as a retirement area but ah...certainly the ah...pressure
is ah... to develop that area ah .... ah...recreational / commercial .... aspect.
Glick: Any other discussion? Mr. Goecke?
Goecke: I...I agree with ah .... what Mr. Bryson has said and ah... you
know, I believe that probably...something in excess of 80%, and I don't
know this for a fact, but I...I believe that something in excess of 80% of
that property down there right now is recreational. Ah...I think there's
probably ah...some people that, yes in fact live there year around. I
think ahhhh.., part of the people that have ah... single unit there are
using it as ah...weekend or week long ah... retreat in the summer time
but it is still recreational...they .... they bought it for recreation and
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998

um .... and to me ah... that area, you know, needs to be recreational and
as such ahm .... I for one wish that at some point in time ah...the zone
would be changed to recreational down there.
GHck: Okay, any more discussion?
Werner-Quade: Well, I have a comment ah...that several years back
when Kevin Walker was our Cha/n~an urn.., he used to say the same
thing every time we used to get an application for a conditional use
permit ah... down fiver. Well, Anglers Acres in particular .should be
zoned recreation, so...so we should vote for it to be recreation (illegible)(
...conditional use permit applicant wanted. However, I do agree with the
lady who retired college professor, that.just because you have granted
one that's not any open door to continue to grant them and I've really
had a lot of concerns about this area too. Every time that...permit comes
before us, well, there's been so many that you granted before, and even
an example of that is tonight when we sat down we got a paper of all the
conditional use permits we permitted in the past so we should permit
this too. I have some concerns along with... Mr .... Richardson, about the
DEC qualities down there and again, when I bring these up, I'm told by
one or more Commission members, "that's not our area!"; 'we shouldn't
be concerned with that!"; "that belongs to the State!"; "they~l look into
iff"; you know, sometimes you just need to look fight in your own back
yard and until some of these things are satisfied with me I am not going
to continue to app .... to approve these, just because weYe approved so
many before. There's a time to...to pull back and to...to look at things
and ....in my opinion I'm to make a difference (illegible)... and I~l be doing
that.
Glick: Anymore discussion?
Kebschull: Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a comment. Um... I was
hoping that this wouldn't happen but it happened immediately that
um... that the conditional use permit that you're looking at has been
um...information has been convoluted with information about a
grievance of complaint against another conditional use permit. So, I
wanted to make sure that the Commission looked at it as a separate
issue when they voted because this is a sep .... separate conditional use
permit that Mr. Coligan is applying for for cabin rentals, which the
Commission worked hard to get that term into our code a little over a
year ago. Um... he's asking for short term rentals in. the summer
months. Um .... and um... the issue on the Lots 4 and 5, urn.. I put
information in your packet and that should be dealt with separately from
this request for this conditional use permit and I just wanted to clarify
that.

In addition, the information that I provided tonight was a clarification of

Glick: But if you wish .... if you wish (over T. Sad/er) to speak to this
please come up the microphone and state you name for the record
otherwise we don't get it on the record.
T. Sadler: Oh, sorry...ah...we~ll just .... Ted Sadler, ah... what I'm
wondering is, see I voted that comer of mine to be commercial. Now
you're going to put this thing in and that's commercial. I'm telling you
if...if...what else can you describe it. Them people aren't Santa Clause,
they're gettin' money for this and they gotta have a permit to do it. The
same as me being a commercial fisherman; and then this guy on the
fiver, he's not commercial at all, he's just a guide, but I'm.a commercial
fisherman. He's a commercial as I am because he charges for his .... for
his business.., and that's the same thing you're going there, so... I just
want to get it in my mind that your .... you're startin' a commercial deal
out there, whether you are or you ain't; because I~ll be back within a
couple of months asking you for the same sort of a situation. Thank
you.
Glick: Okay
Kebschull: For clarification, under the Land Use Table it is considered
miscellaneous use and not listed under commercial uses therein.
T. Sadler (from the audience) Ali I need to do is figure out something
where I can get a miscellaneous use then.

Sadler's deal here and ah...and I...I ah... appreciate what he's ah...saying
and I have made this statement ahhhh.., a few times before, I~l make it
one more time for his benefit is the fact that I would like to see the whole
Spur Highway corridor a commercial op .... venue. Ummm... and a
commercial zone. Um .... we would...you know...and I would, I'm sure
even from this Board get er...Commission a ahmm .... a fair amount of
ah...flak because ah...part of it would end up being spot zoning and
I .... I .... even I am not totally convinced that spot zoning is all that good of
an idea, but I think that in the long.., long term that yes, in fact we are
going to have a commercial corridor the full length of the Spur Highway.
We may not see it ah...in our time but um .... because of the land that is
available for development in this area that's pretty much where you're at

b. KMC 14.20.150 -- Conditional Use Permits -- Discussion
Kebschull reminded the Commissioners that the draft was prepared by
the City Attorney based on information from other areas on the Kenai
Peninsula, mostly from the Seward City Code. The revised section on
conditional use permits will alleviate some of the difficulties with the
current section of the code. Kebschull asked if the Commission wanted
to hold a public hearing on the issue.
Glick polled the Commission, the results are:
Werner-(~uade
Graveley
Nord
Goecke
Bryson
Yes
Yes, if it would pull enough valued interest
from the community.
Yes, feels this was needed for a long time.
Yes,
Yes, in favor of it as in the past the conceptual
plans have tended not to draw much in public
participation.
Glick requested that Kebschull schedule a public hearing.

Lease Application -- Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Sub., Addn. # 1
Kebschull stated that the Commission needs to determine if the
intended use complies with the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive
plan of the city. Because this is in a commercial zone it is suggested
that if the proposed use is commercial that it meets all requirements.
GOECKE MOVED TO APPROVE THE LEASE APPLICATION TO ZECEE
CROW DBA CROW CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOP~NT OF LOT 4,
BLOCK 1, GUSTY SUBDMSION. MOTION SF~ONDED BY BRYSON.
Graveley noted the lot Was in the airport runway protection zone..
Graveley wanted the applicant to be aware of the changes to the airport
master plan so they wouldn't come back and complain about the noise.
Glick noted the property is between the car wash and Little Ski-Mo's.
Bryson asked if the vehicles being restored would be in a visually
screened area?
Joanne Farmer, Kenat, Alaska. Farmer introduced herself as the
Business Manager to Crow Construction and Development. Farmer
reported they would have a chain link fence in the back of the lot but
there will be no vehicles stored there. Farmer continued, the shop will
only take the frame of the vehicle due to the t'mishing process.
It was confirmed that patrons would have to remove the frame from the
body of the car and only the frame would be taken to the business.
Farmer added, the owners do not want vehicles in the yard which would
detract from the look of the building. A wall will block off the car wash
and the building will be approldmately $300,000. Farmer again
guaranteed there will be no vehicles stored in their yard.
Bryson indicated that he may have misinterpreted the drawings and
asked if the vehicle restoration activity will be in a building. Farmer
indicated the back part of the building will be designated for the vehicle
restoratiOn and the front will be for the print shop.

REPORTS
City Council
Councilman Smalley reported that at the July 15, 1998 Council
meeting under Public Hearings Items C 2 and 3 concerned the smoking
policy at the Kenai Municipal Airport. A designated smoking area is
available outside the terminal bufldin§. Administration will provide
Council with a cost estimate to build a sheltered area for smokers.
Item C-4 was approved -- this awarded a 5-year contract Homer Electric
who in rum offered a rebate percentage to the City for signing a long
term contract.
Item C-5 matching grant money from the State for $214,248.00 was
received.
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 34
Item C-6 was approved. This is new accounting system software which
was included in the budget. This will not be the total cost of converting
over to the YK-2000 problem.
Item H-4, special use permit for Logging Section 36 was approved. This
is for the beetle kill material north of town.
City Council Meeting- August 5, 1998 -
Representative Mark Hodgins attended and spoke briefly about economic
development that he is pursuing for the State. Hodgins have made
contact with some of the companies for which the State has invested
part of the permanent fund earnings it and asked them if they would
consider some type of economic development program. This would
entail them bringing some of their business to Alaska, i.e., General
Electric, etc.
Hodgins also discussed working with the City to have the EVOS (Exxon
Valdez) people review part of the permit application which was turned
down for work on the mouth of the Kenai River. The project was turned
down because EVOS didn't think the City worked diligently enough to
try to offaet the negative impact of the dip net fishery. Hodgins is
working with Komelis and they will be visiting EVOS in Anchorage to
discuss the north side project to try to get it reinstated.
Item C-1, Council gave itself a 100% raise.
Item C-2 dealt with the City bringing in gas connections to the Five Irons
Heights Subdivision. The City is checking with Enstar to see if they
would be responsible for the majority of the $15,000 expenditure
because it's part of their job to provide the service to a lot. The City
Manager will investigate but it is his interpretation that this is probably
the City's responsibility since they have to take it across the road for
development.
Goecke thought that Enstar had already punched a gas line underneath
the road from one side of Lawton to the other at the golf course. After a
general discussion Smalley reiterated that the City Manager will look
into this with Enstar.
A donation was received from the Zubecks to install a water source to
the new Erik Hansen Scout Park.
The Alaska Regional Aircraft Fire Training Center grand opening is
scheduled for October 23, 1998. Tours will start at noon on that date
and a VIP tour is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. The City will expend
approximately $5,100 for the grand opening and this will be covered by
airport funds.

Goecke asked when the sale of the Five Irons Heights Subdivision lots
would begin. Smalley replied, the minimum bids are $32,500 and the
City hasn't decided if it was going to be sealed bid. Kebschull added, the
plan was to have the bids in by the end of the month but Council will
now have to revisit the issue since the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted on single family dwellings only for the lots.

Borough Planning
Bryson reported that during the meeting of July 27, 1998 under Public
Hearing items F-1 was approved; F-2 and 3 was postponed; F-4 was
approved but the recommendation was to residential classification
rather than rural; F-5 was approved; F-6 was postponed; F-7, 8 and 9
were recommended to be approved.
Bryson reported that despite all the postponements, the meeting lasted
to well after midnight and it started about 5:30 p.m.
At the August 10 meeting under Public Hearings Items F-1 through 3
were approved; F-4 was denied which is reinstating the 15% cash
discount for sale of certain parcels of Borough property.
c. Administration
Kebschull pointed out the City's new e-mail address and most of the
Adra__inistration has individual e-mail addresses. The web page is
constantly under design so the addresses should be current.
Smalley asked if the Planning and Zoning Commission would be
interested in a field trip to the Anglers Acres if the City could arrange it.
After a general discussion, Kebschull pointed out that the attorney
would have to be checked with to make sure there were no applications
pending or it would be considered an exparte contact. Glick stated that
if a member drove down as an individual it would be okay. Smalley
stated the area cries for assistance.

COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS:
Commissioner Goecke commented on the tour of Anglers Acres and asked
what would be thc best way to go about trying to rezone the area to
recreational. Smalley replied, the best way is if there is going to be a rezone
that it comes from 51% of the residents who live there. Smalley continued, in
the past the municipalities, and perhaps the City of Kenai, the City itself can
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 12, 1998
Page 36
initiate a rezone but it's not always very popular because it almost verges on
the issue of taking.
Goecke reported that he in fact contacted a couple of the land owners in the
area 2 or 3 years ago about initiating a rezone and the response wa~ they all
had conditional use permits in hand so it really wouldn't benefit them. Some of
the residents also indicated that they didn't have time to deal with a rezone.
Goecke indicated that he would approach them again which should eliminate
the ongoing session. Smalley suggested that when the visits are made that
Goecke goes independently of the City.
Kebschull reported that if you looked at the area there are only two major
property owners in the area and they probably own at least 50% and with a few
others you would have the majority. Kebschull also noted that the Planning
and Zoning Commission could also initiate a rezone.
Bryson stated that Administration initiated a rezoning in Thompson Park and
no one that testified knew anything about what was proposed. There was zero
· interest in changing it. Bryson didn't think he'd want to initiate a rezone
although he gets tired of waiting for others to do so.
Commissioner Nord indicated that she was uncomfortable with having to go
with a more restrictive variance on Five Irons Heights Subdivision as far as the
single family dwelling. Nord reported she voted in favor of it because the City
made an error and the lots should have been 20,000 sq. ft. Nord continued,
the City needs to set an example of having it right the first time instead of
asking for a variance.
Nord complained that the situation on Sycamore Street is worsening as the
owners are packing garbage into the vehicles. Nord has property listed next
door and can't get anyone to take a look at it because it smells so bad. Nord
asked ff there was an issue about health and safety. Kebschull answered, the
process is the same; a letter is sent, etc. At this time the City is already half
way through the second 30 day period. Once that is resolved it should take
care of the odor. Nord also reported that a tarp is placed over the top of the
vehicle so on a hot day it really gets bad. Kebschull thought the owners would
be cited within the next couple of weeks. Nord asked if the City can go in and
haul the vehicle out. Kebschull replied, there is abatement in the Code and it
could be hauled and an assessment is placed on the property. Kebschull
stated it was rare for this to happen.
Nord reported that Birch and First is also becoming a problem with abandoned
vehicles. Nord also reported the property owners are trying to place a fence
and the posts are over 6 feet. Kebschull noted that a building permit is
required for anything over 6 feet.
Commissioner Werner-(~uade commented on the letter on Five Irons Heights
and stated the person in opposition says they have no objection to single family

August 12, 1998
Page 37
homes but strongly object to multi-family dwellings; then they go on to say
"apartment complexes will only worsen..." Wemer-Quade indicated that she is
trying to picture an apartment complex in the area and it seems that common
sense seems to dictate that a single family dwellings would be appropriate for
that area. Wemer-Quade added she was sure the subdivision would be very
nice.

Dear John and Council:'
It is with sincere regret that I must resign from my position on City of Kenai Planning
and Zoning Commission. I have been elected to a national position with the National
Education Association and that will necessitate frequent travel out of state. While I am
excited about my new position, I will miss my involvement not only with the members of
P & Z, but all the council and city staff. I would like for my resignation to be effective
after the September 23rd P & Z meeting, unless you can appoint a replacement before
then.
As you know, i, like' all of you, care deeply about our city. I hope you can find a
replacement who might have the same leanings as I have as i believe strongly that
Planning and Zoning, of ali City commissions and committees, should have
ropresentation of all rosident types, ie. business, home owner, long timer, shor~ timer,
conservative with land use, open minded about development and future land use etc.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the residents of Kenai.

AUGUST 19, 1998

Kathryn Thomas- Western States Coalition
Thomas explained the Coalition would be visiting the Kenai Peninsula on August 28.
Last year the Coalition took several congressmen and Speaker Gingrich to the west
where he viewed several resource development projects in Wyoming and Montana.
During that trip he promised Speaker Gaff Phillips he would come to Alaska this
year.
Thomas continued, originally it was thought the delegation would visit for one week
but will only be for two days. Speaker Phillips has insisted the delegation visit the
Kenai Peninsula for one of those days. Thomas added, when she was asked to be
involved in the event she looked at the community and thought it would be important
to ~how that the area ha~ worked very hard to develop its economy. She added, the
area is very dependent on resource development and harvesting and they want to
show the delegation the extent gone to in order to protect Alaska resources. They
plan to show the delegation the industry, what federal issues affect the development
and use the Kenai River to tie it all together.
Thomas noted, the delegations will first hear presentations from oil and gas at the
Kenai Visitors Center (two hours). They will then be taken across the mouth of the
Kenai River to Soldotna where they will lunch along the upper river. Music
selections will be offered by Hobo ,Jim during lunch. After lunch there will be
discussions to tie sport fishing, commercial fishing, management of the river, timber,
protection of the Kenai watershed together. After that, the delegation will visit the
Soldotna boardwalk project with a press opportunity. When flown out, they.will view
the beetle-kill area. The delegation will visit the area for six hours.
Councilwoman Swarner asked if the delegation will visit the ARFF facility which was
funded with federal dollars. Thomas answered, the Coalition asked their agenda be
followed, i.e. resource development issues. Additionally, industry and agency people
will make presentations and answer questions. She added, the Speaker's staff will
not allow anything else to be added to the schedule.
Swamer asked if the delegation will be able to see the bluff erosion at the mouth of
the river. Thomas answered they are finding it hard to do that due to time
constraints. However, they would like a lot of background material for the staff. She
noted there are seven congressmen with over 20 staff people traveling with the
delegation. Thomas stated in her discussions with representatives'of
commercial/sport fishing and habitat, they felt it was important to have them visit
the upper river as much as possible.
Thomas continued, the bus will drive across Bridge Access Road and some narrative
will be done when crossing the mouth of the fiver. Will/ams noted the Clerk had
been asked to send maps (to Speaker Phillips} showing the relationship between the
Visitors Center, the Church, bluff and ^RFF facility. Earlier today she was told
Speaker Phillipa stated there would be time to visit the areas, although only drive-by
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

visits. Thomas stated she was unaware of those arrangements but would discuss it
with Speaker Phillips. Thomas added, Phillips had final approval of the schedule for
the Coalition.
It was noted council felt it important the delegation visit the bluff as it is a
worthwhile request as the city has worked with the Corps of Engineers and others in
regard to the erosion and the bluff loss to the City of Kenai is far greater than lack of
the boardwalk in Soldotna can create. Also, the trip through Old Town would
include an ISTEA project, the national historic site of the Orthodox Church, the
rectory, the bluff erosion and the ARFF facility (a multi-million dollar project
developed by state, city, borough and federal government). This review would take
less than one-half hour. Thomas stated she would make note of his comments.
Thomas explained it had been suggested the Borough, City of Soldotna, and City of
Kenai sponsor a lunch for the delegation with the mayors hosting. The luncheon will
be catered by a Kenai caterer at the home of Bob Penny on the river. She noted,
Penny's facility will allow service to 80 people and to hold their information session.
The river can also be observed. Councilman Moore stated he believed if the Coalition
has the courtesy to show some interest in the projects in Kenai, it would be
acceptable to participate in sponsoring the luncheon.
MOTION:
Councilman'Moore MOVED to participate in hosting a luncheon for the Westem
States Coalition contingent upon interest of the Coalition in the City of Kenai.
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Williams noted the motion was to co-host the luncheon with the Borough and City of
Soldotna and that the amount for each would be approximately $600, Smalley asked
for elaboration on what is "express interest." Moore stated, as long as the most
recent infsrmation the Clerk received is followed through, i.e. the sites agreed upon
from Speaker Phillips to the Clerk.
Swamer asked what co_m_mitment had been received from the other mayors. Thomas
answered they are committed and without restriction. Thomas added, the issues to
be reviewed and for why the delegation was visiting, i.e. issues affecting the economy,
jobs and businesses working in Cook Inlet. Thomas requested council to keep in
mind that in the very short time the delegation is on the Peninsula, thirty minutes to
visit areas in Kenai would be a consideration.
Thomas continued with the list of industries wanting to speak to the delegation:
Force Energy, Unocal (air quality issues), CISPRI (response readiness), Marathon Oil
(success of 30 years producing on Federal Wildlife Refuge), CIRI (resource
development/ANILCA), Phillips (LNG gas line/export licensing), Anadarko (permitting
process on 3D seismic on the Kenai Wildlife Range), commercial/sport fishing

(ANILCA/federal management of Fish & Game), Kenai Peninsula Fisherman's
Association (hatchery program at Hidden Lake), spruce bark beetle concerns, and
biologists from Fish & Game (management).
Williams stated the city wanted some recognition from the delegation so that if a city
representative is sent to Washington, D.C. on a particular issue, there will be some
remembrance of where Kenai is. Councilman Bannock stated he would change his
position and support hosting the luncheon. He added, he hoped the delegation will
recognize the jewel Kenai is and plan for more time in Kenai the next time they travel
to Alaska.

C-4o
1998-99 Liquor License Renewal- PROTEST- Alaskalanes,
Inc. / Recreational Site.
Clerk Freas explained Alaskalanes was delinquent in sales and real property taxes,
as well as water/sewer and lease payments. She noted, the applicant was working
with a bank to secure a loan to pay the amounts owed. However, that would not be
able to take place before the 60-day deadline for the city to enter an objection passed.
She added, according the city code, an objection must be fried.
Williams stated discussions have occurred in the past in regard to applicants who
are not able to make their payments due to slow times in their businesses. He noted,
the summer months are particularly hard on the bowling alley due to it being more of
a winter sport. He asked if there was some way to structure the wording of the
protest to show it as a required element of council's discussion but also word it so it
doesn't carry a lot of weight.
Attorney Graves stated ordinarily a protest is fried and then the city works with the
applicant to withdraw the protest when the amounts are paid. He added, he has had
several discussions with Alaskalanes and they hope to make a substantial payment
or get caught up by the end of September. He confirmed Alaskalanes is trying to get
a loan through Small Business Administration and a local bank in order to work out
the problem.

Freas explained the city's 60 days would run out on August 25. The protest gOing
before the ABC Board would depend on when their next meeting is held and whether
it is reviewed at that time. There is a possibility the amounts owed will be paid up
prior to the Board holding their next meeting. In that case, a letter withdrawing the
protest can be filed.
Swarner stated she disagreed with Williams as it is a black and white issue:
collected sales tax and did not pay it.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to file a letter of protest because of the accounts
owing (water/sewer and lease payments). Councilman Smalley SECONDED the
motion.
Smalley suggested language be included to say the city would withdraw the protest
contingent upon owed amounts being brought current.

Approval- Lease Application/Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision,
Addition No. 1. - Zecee Crow d/b/a Crow Construction and
Development Co.
City Manager Ross explained the lease is a straight-forward lease with a plan for
construction of a facility.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of lease application Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty
Subdivision, Addition No. 1 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Smalley reported there was some discussion at Planning & Zoning in regard to the
restoration business to be included in the building. Questions asked were whether
there would be pieces of cars all over the lot, etc. The comment given was the
business would only coat frames there and there would only be frames on site.
Bookey asked if this would not be a full body shop and there would be no car bodies
on site. Answer given (from the audience) was no. Bookey noted the application
stated the building would either be steel or wood construction. He asked for
clarification.
Joanne Farmer- The construction will be a metal building with wood framing on the
outside. 13ookey asked if the building would be a garage-type building. Farmer
stated no, the building would be very nice. 13ookey stated he did not want a garage-
type style building in the main thoroughfare of Kenai.
Farmer also explained, the restoration business would mainly be for restoration of
classics. She also noted, a print shop will be in the front of the building and will take
up the majority of the building. A small area in the back of the building will be used
for the restoration business.
13ookey asked if there will be a drawing of the proposed building submitted to
Planmng & Zoning or administration. Farmer stated she would submit one if
requested. Moore asked if Farmer is the applicant. Farmer explained she is the
business manager of Crow Construction and they will be submitting a landscape/site
plan. They plan to plant evergreens in front of the building and lava rock or grass in
the front of the building.
Smalley explained the building plan and landscape/site plan will come back to
Planning & Zoning for review and consideration.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Approval- Change Order/ARFF- Alcan General, Inc./$14,793.

Ross explained the change order was for street fighting on the road going into the
ARFF facility and was requested by ESI. The possible lessee for the upper floor
would also make the same request. He added, this would be the best time to place
the requested fighting.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Change Order/ARFF to Alcan
General, Inc. in the amount of $14,793. Councilwoman Swarner 8~ONDED the
motion.
City Engineer indicated two lights will be added: one located at the entrance of
Marathon Road and one at the comer to the right. A third light, included in the plan
for the building, will serve the entrance to the facility.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion - Crow Court Assessment District.
Ross explained the code directs the information in regard to the request for paving at
Crow Court be brought to council for review and consideration. If council wishes to
proceed with the assessment district paving project, administration should be
directed to prepare a resolution which will set a public hearing date in regard to the
requested work.
Bookey asked for comments from administration in regard to the $60,000 cost for
the project. He added, that amount seemed low for doing the project. Ross
explained, he reviewed the amounts when they were submitted. They are ten percent
above the amounts actually generated ($52,000) which was received from the private
sector. Ross added, the area to be paved is small and the price of asphalt is very
competitive at this time. Also, the curbs and gutters costs for the project were
relatively low.
MOTION:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to direct administration prepare a resolution calling
for a public hearing to form an assessment district for Crow Court paving project.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.

Discussion- Schedule Appeal Hearing- Appeal of Planning & Zoning
Commission's Decision on the Variance Amendment for Five Irons
Heights Subdivision, Lots 1-6, Block 1.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 10 of 29
Ross explained, Planning & Zoning granted the variance conditioned on all lots being
single-family dwellings. Because each lot can only be used for a single-family
dwelling, which was not within the instructions received from council, the appeal was
fried. Presently, if the Commission decision is upheld, single-family dwe!!~ngs could
be built as well as townhouses, with a conditional use permit and a variance for lot
size (a code procedure would allow two townhouses being built on the same lot with a
zero lot line and common wall). The Commission's decision will not allow duplexes
as directed by council to be allowed in Block 1. Ross continued, if council takes no
action at this meeting, he will continue the appeal and make a presentation before
the Board of Adjustment. If townhouses (considered a single-family dwelling by code)
fits the plan council has in mind, he will withdraw the appeal.
Bookey stated he would like to continue with the project and not go through the
appeal process. Direction was given and the Commission turned it down. He added,
he wants the lots up for sale and on the market so construction can begin this fall or
next spring. Bookey added, he hated to see the process delayed any further.
Williams asked Attorney Graves, since council gave direction to the Commission as to
what they wanted to do with the property and they amended the directions to the
opposite of what council wanted, does council have recourse without going through
an appeal process. Graves answered, no. He added, the Commission has the
authority to grant or deny variances. They did so and the procedure is to go through
the Board of Adjustment. Graves noted, if council wants to overturn the
Commission's decision it would have to be the appellant and the city manager
administration.
Smalley agreed with Bookey as he didn't want to see further delays in the
development. He encouraged council to review the Commission minutes because the'
public and Commission testimony was pretW adamant about single-family units.
Smalley added, there could be another potential protest from individuals who felt the
lots need to be 20,000 sq. ft. There was a suggestion the city replat.
Bookey noted, when council discussed the design of the lots, etc. and sent the
information on to the Commission, some council felt there would be individuals
wanting to build a multi-family dwelling. The zero lot line/condominium on the lots
would be acceptable. The property owner could go through a conditional use permit
process and if it is denied, could still appeal it to the council. He added, in reality he
thought council could get what they wanted done and not delay the project.
Williams asked Ross, if a person buys a lot and then makes an appearance before the
Comn~ssion and asks for a conditional use permit and denied, he can come before
council on appeal. He added, he felt there would be a problem if philosophies change
on the council and he didn't know if that would be the proper way to solve the
problem.
Bannock stated his concern the council was in some serious unchartered waters
because council seems to be in a philosophical contest with one of its appointed
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 11 of 29
commissions. He added, he didn't know if this would be the way to solve the
problem. Bannock continued, in speak/rig with a realtor and Ross, some of his
concerns he shared with council can be addressed. He added, there are differences
between duplex, zero lot line, townhouse and condominium, although his concerns
can be addressed through the conditional use Permit process. Bannock stated he
would prefer allowing the matter to stand as it is. He added, he preferred the appeal
be withdrawn and the lots be marketed as soon as possible.
Smalley referred to the minutes of the August 5 council meeting when discussing
this matter. He added, he too believed the appeal should be withdrawn and go
forward with the sales. Williams stated he would want some assurances the
constituency be given fair notice and full disclosure (maybe by including information
in the bid documents, advertisements, etc.) that these are single-family dwelling lots
with the opportunity to apply for a conditional use permit.
Measles stated the conditional use permit could then be used on either Block 1 or
Block 2 and that was not the intent of council when it last discussed the matter. He
added, he was not comfortable with this and would prefer not putting the properties
out to sale until the matter is settled. He added, he would not want any confusion
for the people submitting bids that might come back later.
Ross stated, if council chose to go forward, it could direct administration to do
restrictions on the deed for Block 2 lots, single-family residents only and advertised
that way. The same restrictions could be stated on Block 1 lots and indicate they
could be available for conditional use permits for townhouse. Since council is the
developer, it can make those types of restrictions. Graves explained he and
Administrative Assistant Howard have worked on the proposed deeds and pamphlet.
They had planned to include a deed covenant restriction on the one block prohibiting
townhouses (as a covenant). They will be allowed by conditional use under the code,
but as the subdivider, it can be prohibited by covenant. The other block would be
allowable. Additionally, Howard had included a notice in the bid documents that
townhouses will have to be approved by conditional use permit and by variance so
that any bidder has firm notice of the process necessary to construct a townhouse.
Bookey stated if that can be stipulated, he would want to go forward. If that cannot
be stipulated, then he agrees with Measles they should continue on with the appeal
process. Bannock noted he was concerned (during the last meeting) with placing a
deed restriction is included in Block 1, however council agreed to release the deed
restriction after the lots are developed. He added, he doesn't particularly agree that
is a good idea, but because council does believe one of the blocks should be deed
restricted from the possibility of having townhouses on them, and if the language
discussed at the last meeting is used in the deed restriction, it will be removed as
soon as more than 50% of the lots are developed. He agreed, this would solve the
problem and accomplish what council wants to do.
Graves stated, it was his understanding when he was drafting the preliminary deed,
the deed restriction dealt with enforcement of covenants and the city would only
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 12 of 29
enforce covenants until a. ll the lots are sold and developed and/or a homeowners
association is formed. He added, the restriction of townhouses on the one block
would continue in perpetuity. Graves noted, that was done becaUse when they were
reviewing council's goals after the last meeting, they realized townhouses are single-
family dwellings under the code and a covenant was needed in the one block to
accomplish what council wants to do. He added, they believed this would be
consistent with council's goals on the one block.
Measles asked what the process would be if the lots are all sold, no development has
taken place, and the lot owners petition to remove the deed restriction. Graves
stated he knew there is a process, but would have to review Alaska law.
Williams asked how much time the appeal will take, i.e. hearing, decision, etc.
Measles answered 60 days. Williams asked if they would have to take the full
amount of time to make a decision. Bookey stated there was nothing in the code that
directs the decision had to wait 30 days- it gives 30 days in which to make the
decision. Smalley cautioned tal6ng less than the 30 days to render the decision. He
added, if council could approve deed restrictions on Block 1, Lots 1-6 (single-family
units and townhouses permissible through conditional use permit) and Block 2, Lots
7-13 (single-family units only excluding townhouses), he would be happy and
believed it would meet the city's needs.
Swamer stated she disagreed with taking the 30 days to render a decision as in the
past members of council have given their individual decisions within a week. Graves
suggested, if removal of the townhouse covenants on the one block is council's
concern, as an option, he could write language in the deed that remove of the
covenants cannot occur without permission of the City of Kenai. Williams noted, the
city cannot develop airport properties without permission of FAA and saw no reason
why the same condition couldn't be included on properties the city owns. He hoped
progress could be made on the sale of the lots, circumventing the issue of the appeal.
Swamer asked if the sale of the lots in the other block could begin or do both blocks
have to be sold at the same time. Ross answered, as a matter of equity and
advertising, the people buying in Block 2 should know what is being done with the
lots in Block 1. He added, he thought it important to resolve the issue before any
lots go on sale, especially when they are adjoining and in the same section of street.
Measles stated he agreed with Ross and it was still part of his concern that if the lots
are put on the market as the lots are now and the deed restrictions and covenants
are included, the bidders in Block 1 will not know what they can build on the lot they
are bidding on until after they buy the lot and then request a conditional use' permit
from the Commission. Measles added, he would not bid on an unknown at the
minimum value being placed on the lots. Ross stated it was his understanding that
even if the lots didn't require the variance, if sold, townhouses would still be a
conditional use. in that zone. The issue of whether or not a duplex would be allowed
is a different issue and would be a reason to continue the appeal if that is what

AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 13 of 29
council wants. However, if a person buys a lot based on being able to build a
townhouse, the zone will require a conditional use and a zone change to give the
buyer that assurance.
Bannock stated he believed he was the only one concerned about the ability to place
a duplex in the block and that could be changed. He added, with a conditional use
permit, the buyer still knows what is allowable to be built automatically. What the
buyer doesn't know is what could potentially be built after a conditional use permit is
granted. That is why conditional use permits require public hearings, etc. Measles
added, the only thing automatic in buying one of the lots now is that only a single-
family dwelling can be built on the lot. Bannock added, the buyer would have the
ability to ask for permission to build a townhouse.
Williams stated he was not willing to accept a possibility of a sale to a resident who
thinks he might be able to get a conditional use permit and then find out he can't.
He added, he didn't know if a sale could be held and necessary permits received,
design, and construction, etc. until spring. Williams asked Ross how much of a
delay it would take if they continued with the appeal. Ross answered, once the
appeal is resolved, it would be his intent to recommend to put the lots to sale at the
minimum advertised this year. If all the lots are not sold, the minimum would be
held and another public offering would be made in the spring.
Smalley asked if council would have a concern with offering a motion to approve
Block 1, Lots 1 through 6, single-family unit with a conditional use permit for
townhouse development and Block 2, Lots 7 through 13 as single-family units (with
the appropriate legal covenant language included). Williams asked if a motion of that
nature could supercede the Commission's authority and decision in regard to their
limiting the use of Block 1 to single-family residences. Graves stated the code
defines townhouses as a single-family dwelling. Williams asked how the code treats
townhouses in regard to this property in this zone. Graves answered, townhouses
under the Land Use Table in the Recreational Zone, are allowed by conditional use
permit. He added, unless the code is changed, a conditional use permit is required
to build a townhouse.
Williams asked how long would the sale be delayed if they go through the appeal
process. Ross answered, after setting the date, the City Clerk advertises the hearing
(ten days), the hearing is held and the time to render a decision. Once the decision is
announced, the documents can be modified and be to sale within the next week. He
added, that would be absent further appeal by other parties of that decision (which
could be a possibility). Smalley stated, once there is a decision rendered, the only
appeal is through the superior court.
Williams asked what the planned date of the sale was and Ross answered the date of
the sale has always been contingent upon how it is to be advertised in the
documents. Williams asked if the documents have to be advertised for a particular
amount of time prior to the sale. Ross answered, when going to sale, they would
probably give 30 days from the advertisement to the bid opening.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 14 of 29
Measles asked if the appeal was not pursued, when would the documents be
advertised (considering the time it will take to write the deed restrictions, covenants,
bid documents, etc.). Graves answered, the preliminary draft of the bid documents
are complete as well as the preliminary draft of the deed covenants. He added, both
could be done by the end of the week. Ross added, he believed it was realistic to say
the advertisements could be out by the middle of next week. The sales document has
been before council in draft form. The only modifications were those council made
regarding single-family dwellings and the deed restrictions the attomey has in draft
form.
Measles stated, it would still be the end of September before the bids would be
opened if the documents were out next week. Technically, only one week and one-
half would be lost by going thrOugh with the appeal and settling the issue. He added,
in either case, he didn't think any homes would be built this winter.
Williams asked what the vote was by the Commission to amend to single-family
dwellings. Smalley answered, he believed it was one person against the rest in favor.
Smalley stated the main concem came from the public in regard to increased traffic
from multiple living units on lots, loss of wind break from trees being cut down (not a
valid argument), public safety and speed on the street. Lot size was also discussed
with only one lot meeting the 20,000 square footage. Smalley added, five people
testified in the same vane and all live across from the proposed development.
Smalley stated there were several comments made after the Commission's decision
that "they could live with that (single-family dwellings)." Williams asked if they
meant single-family dwellings or townhouses. Smalley answered, by definition, a
townhouse is a single-family dwelling. Williams asked if they understood that.
Smalley answered, single-family dwelling was what was said.
Bookey suggested setting the appeal hearing as soon as possible if council wanted to
continue with the appeal process. Williams suggested September 2 as the hearing
date. Smalley stated, the Commission made the lots single-family. By code,
townhouse is a single-family dwelling. Council spoke mostly in opposition of
duplexes but favored townhouses. He asked, what purpose would council be serving
by appealing the matter.
Ross answered, as the appellant, it is his understanding based on council's decision
at their last meeting, that would be the argument he will make, i.e. to allow two-
family dwelling which will allow duplexes. Williams stated, council's appeal would be
to allow unconditionally single-family dwellings where the code allows townhouses
with a conditional use permit. Bannock stated, he believed the consensus of the
council did not want duplexes. Measles noted, the motion was to allow up to two-
family dwellings in Block 1 and single-family in Block 2.
Graves noted, the main difference between townhouses and duplexes was that
townhouses are considered single-family dwellings and are on their own lot. He
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 15 of 29
added, if someone was to build a townhouse on a lot, they would have ~o subdivide it
by variance and get a conditional use permit for a townhouse. A townhouse in the
Recreation Zone always requires a conditional use permit {by code}. Bannock added,
a duplex is on one lot and a townhouse is on a single lot- the difference is the lega/
description of the land. Bannock asked if council had a problem with the building
being there, but allowing it to be called a townhouse, it would require a change to the
lot. Williams answered he had a big problem with that. Williams added, then one
would have to get a conditional use permit and a variance as well (plat change, etc. I.
Bannock stated he would return to his original opinion that the Recreation Zone is
just wrong for Five Irons Heights Subdivision because it will be carved up and
changed. Swamer noted, her home is considered a duplex because it has a mother-
in-law apartment, though it is in a different zone and area. She added, her point was
her home is a non-traditional duplex.
Ross stated, if the lots were replatted, the conditional use permit is required for a
townhouse in any zone and a duplex is not. He added, in the appeal, he would ask
for a two-family dwelling {which a duplex fits by def'mition}. Measles asked, if it had
been approved as council submitted, it would have allowed up to two-family
dwellings in Block 1 and an owner of a lot in Block 1 would still have the option to go
through the process to build a townhouse. Graves stated yes, had it gone through as
council requested. He continued, a per,on could go through the process of a
conditional use permit and variance to build a townhouse. They wouldn't have to do
that if they wanted to build a duplex as that is a permitted use. Graves reviewed the
code's townhouse definition, noting the difference between duplex and town.house is
the party wall going through the two buildings and the separate lots.
Graves read the code definition for zero lot line and noted it is allowed by conditional
use permit as provided by the Land Use Table and may be permitted according to
conditions and lot size restrictions.
Smalley explained what puzzled him at the meeting, was the discussion of what
council had intended as far as development in this area. They spoke specifically
about what Could be built on recreational property (up to a triplex). That was not the
intention and they wanted to eliminate that.
Williams asked again if council had the fight to deny the Commission's amendment
limiting the use of the properties to single-family residences. Graves answered, a
public hearing process is required by code.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED to set the date for appeal as soon as possible
(September 2), go through the appeal process. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the
motion.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Page 16 of 29
Ross explained, as the appellant, he would argue for two-family dwellings, which
includes duplex, for Block 1 only.
Williams set the hearing date for September 2, 1998, to begin at 7:00 p.m. in the
council chambers prior to the regular council meeting.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Smalley asked if this would prevent the city from posting the properties with 'for
sale" signs. Ross stated he would prefer not placing the signs until after it is known
how to answer questions that may arise. Measles asked if administration can
continue to develop the other documents (deed restrictions, covenants, etc.) already
discussed. Graves answered yes, everything will be ready.
Williams noted he has a scheduled meeting in Seward on September 2 which is to
begin at 9:00 a.m. He asked if he is delayed to attend the council meeting, would
Vice Mayor Measles take the meeting. There were no objections.

I- 1. Mayor
a. SouthCentral Air- Williams asked, since the closing of SouthCentral
Air, would they have any difficulty in paying the city what is owed.
b. Telephone Call/Sales Tax- Williams stated some residents of Nikiski
brought to his attention they are being charged City of Kenai sales tax by GCI. He
added, he has requested administration to check into the matter.
c. Dairy Queen- Williams asked the status of the sale of the building.
Ross stated the building has been shown several times recently. There is still
interest being shown and one very active interest. Ross added, he has talked with
Mr. Norville briefly about it and will again in the near future.
I-2. City Manager
a. Cunningham Park- Ross reported he met with Norville regarding
Cunningham Park. Norville will be out of state for a few weeks and will contact Ross
upon his return. In the interim, Ross will correspond with Chairman Gilman of
Kenai Sportfishing, Inc. and indicate the council's interest. Directors Frates and
Komelis will be working within the existing property boundaries in putting together
development ideas. Ross added, he told Norville the project they have proposed (like
their project in Soldoma) is probably not acceptable for Cunningham Park based on
the higher fides and ice situation there.

b. Charter School- Ross reported the charter school has not yet made
their formal letter of request to the Borough for use of the Kenai Elementary School.
When they do, he will send the letter of endorsement council requested be sent.
c. Softball Tournament- Ross reported 31 teams will be involved in the
tournament scheduled for Kenai this weekend. At the same time, the Industry
Appreciation Picnic will be held. Based on the tent camping facilities available and
the number of people involved in the tournament, he authorized the use of the FAA
grounds for any overflow.
d. C~as Line/Five Irons Heights Subdivision- Ross reported the gas line
placement was reviewed (amount for road boring} and that will technique will be
required to ~ervice the lots for gas. The cost will be approx/mately $17,000.
e. SouthCentral Air- Ross reported SouthCentral Air has requested a
rescission of their leaae effective August 21. They presently are on a payment
schedule for funda owed the city.
f. City Manager Absence - Ross reported he would be out of the office for
a few days in order to f'mi~h his house and closing, etc.
Smalley stated it was brought to his attention the gas company has a main line
sitting at the golf course building on that side of the road. He asked if that would
provide assistance and not have to bore under the road. Ross answered, when
reviewing the distances and the charges, this is the route recommended by their
engineering department.
Attorney- No report.
X-4.
City Clerk- No report.
I-5. Finance Director -- Semmens referred to the quarterly investment
report included in the packet. He noted there has been a change in accounting rules
which required §ovemment to record their investment earnings at market value
instead of amortized cost~. He explained, as interest rates move in the bond market,
the city's portfolio will be worth more or less than for what it was paid and
recognition of that fact will be required in the city's f'mancial statement.
A short discussion followed in regard to the loss of sales tax earnings for the
second quarter of 1998. Bookey stated he was concemed a larger setback will be
noted in the third quarter and asked if any major changes will be needed in the
budget. Semmens stated, because of the disappointing fishing season, etc. it may get
worse.
Bookey stated he was concerned because the city was the only area on the Peninsula
that had no gain. He added, he hoped this would not be a trend for the city and its
retail industry. Williams stated he could see in his personal business there should
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 19, 1998
Page 18 of 29
be concern. Ross reported the city's building permits are significantly higher than in
the past and in the matter of issuance of building permits, the city is well ahead in
new residences over Soldotna.
Williams stated when the Outlook Forum was held, the participants all agreed the
largest single factor affecting the future of the city was retail sales. He suggested the
city has gone far enough in developing infrastructure (except water/sewer
development) and it is now time to take a direction to assist, helping, asking and
planning for private businesses, commercial retail, etc. to move into the city. He
added, that wouldn't preclude the city from involving itself in a capital project if
funding is available, etc. Williams added, he believes finding out how the city can
assist retail/commercial businesses in the city as its first priority. Bookey stated he
agreed.
Public Works- No report.
I-7. Airport Manager- Airport Manager Director Atha reported he traveled
to Anchorage and met with FAA representatives and will be working with them in the
future. They discussed use of airport funds by the city and was told it can use
airport funds for airport purposes. Both short term and long-term use. That
information will be applied to the proposal received from Jim Carter to do some
baseline studies and preliminary information development for the future aviation
system of Kenai. Atha added, Carter's proposal was reviewed and comments added.
It now has been forwarded to the attorney and will before council by the next meeting
for its consideration (unless there are problems with di/ficult language areas). He
added, FAA was comfortable with the propose and it gives the council the ability to
move forward with their aviation system.
Atha also reported they discussed the loss of air service to Kenai. FAA was very
supportive and enthusiastic and will open their fries to develop some connection
mixes and data with all the carriers that could potentially serve the community.
Atha noted, added service does not always mean the addition of a carrier. It could
include air fares, scheduling changes, service points, etc. Those subjects will be
reviewed in order to attract and improve service to the c°mmunity. Also he visited
Merrill Field and Lake Hood to get some ideas for developing general aviation service
in this area as well.
Swamer asked if ERA has increased their late-night flights. Atha answered no, but
they are discussing the matter with them. He added, in order to fill the voids, you
have to be careful in a community when you get into a monopolistic situation.
Swamer noted she has already heard concerns from returning college students
regarding late night flights at Christmas. Atha stated he will be watching this area of
concern and will keep council informed. Williams asked if Yute Air is planning to
return to the area. Atha answered, they have talked with them, but no decisions
have been made at this time. He added, they will look at any carrier that can
supplement service in Kenai.

DISCUSSION
J..X,
Citizens- None.
J-2. Council
Bookey- Bookey reported he read an advertisement in the ClariOn Sunday
paper regarding the ARFF facility. He was initially pleased to see the advertisement.
However, he was concerned to/'md 1/mited housing for students is being offered.
Bookey added, it was his understanding the facility was being built for economic
development of the city. His concern is the organ/zafion hired to run the facility is
arranging housing for students to stay at the fire station.
Ross stated he concurred with the BookeY that housing people through the whole of
the course had not been intended. Fire Chief Elson explained it was unfortunate the
advertisement came out in that manner. He added, it is not the Fire Department's
intention to openly house students during the eight-week course of the Firefighter I
school. However, they want to reserve the oPtion to assist them in having some of
the students as they progress through the eight-week course to ride along with the
professional firefighters from the local stations. In discussing the matter with other
chiefs, they are not going to actively solicit housing students at their stations. It is
more a complimentary program for the Firefighter I course.
Ross added, as part of the course, the Fire Department was Planning to house some
students on a rotational basis, however it would not be more than two or three nights
per student as part of the program. The idea is to give in-house and night-call
experience, etc. Elson added, the housing would take part in the latter part of the
course and the students will be rotated through all the stations. Elson noted, they
do not have the facilities to house them on an eight-week basis.
Smalley asked if ESI was aware of this. Elson answered, when this was first
discussed with the local area chiefs, it was termed loosely that students would be
housed in the stations. He added, it could have been a misunderstanding on their
part. Smalley stated he concurred with Bookey and thought it acceptable to house
students for a portion of time (48 hours), but not for the overall school program.
Elson stated, he has discussed with them options for housing students in the
community. Generally, that particular market is younger students coming out of
college or high school. They would not be spending eight weeks in a hotel. They
have forwarded them to local realtors to find other opportunities for housing.
Smalley and Bookey stated they had no problem with that as a part of the program.
Bookey added, the advertisement did not read that way and he discussed his concern
at the beginning that the facility was being developed for the private sector and there
would not be a cafeteria or bunkhouse program included in the facility. Bookey
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

noted, the management agreement had not yet been signed with ESI and he
requested it be specifically stated to ESI at this time that this will not be acceptable
to do in the future. The project is to benefit the economic development of the City of
Kenai.
Swarner- a. Booster Club Advertisement Purchase -- Swarner referred to
an advertisement request from the KCHS Football/Basketball Boosters included in
the packet. Swarner asked ff there were funds included in the budget for this
purpose. Clerk Freas answered yes, $200.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to place an ad in the Kenai Football and Basketball
Booster Club ad program for the upcoming season of 1998-1999 in the amount of
$200. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner
requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
b. Municipal Park- Swamer asked if the beetle-kill trees had been cut
out of the park. Parks Director Frates answered the cutting has been done for this
year. Additional cutting may be done next spring. He added, 50% of the trees are
still there, but individuals are coming to get the downed trees and is open to
residents to take. Frates also noted the remaining downed trees will be removed and
stored at the yard and used for firewood.

c. Street Map- Swarner thanked the summer employees for the street
It is very nice and Beautification members used it for judging for the city.
Moore- No comments.
Measles- No comments.
Bannock- No comments.
Smalley- a. Western States Coalition---Smalley apologized for not spealdng
out during the earlier presentation. Smalley continued, he personally had a problem
having a luncheon in Mr. Penny's home and financed by the city which could give the
impression the city is more supportive of the sportfishing industry. He added, he
believed there are a number of neutral facilities in Kenai or Soldoma that would have
been more appropriate to hold the luncheon.
Smalley continued, the many groups that will be making presentations to the
delegation are important to the community, however, what he heard and wasn't said
was that they didn't have time for Kenai. Smalley added, concerned him.

Outside Smoking Area
In responding to Councils request for research into weather protection for smokers, two
areas were looked into.
First, research into commercially available smoking shelters was done and a packet is
included.
Second, a rough estimate was requested for an enclosure to match the existing design of
the south (Arrival) foyer. That estimate is for construction of a glass and aluminum
frame wall to enclose the porch area existing at the south entrance. The existing hand
rail would be replaced by the wall and a new handrail attached to the wall. The wall
would extend from the lip of the porch to the bottom of the roof. A section along the top
of the wall would be open to allow for ventilation.
Proposal: A
Construction of two wallS'to protect
the noah half of the porch.
$5858.40
Proposal,: B
ConstrUction
of three'walls to protect
the south half of the porch.
$7500.00
Proposal: C
Construct walls to proicct the whole porch.

RE: Outside Smoking Area Page 2
It is the opinion of Mr. Atha and I that the proposal "C" may serve the needs of the
terminal and the smoking public best. First by providing ample protected space for the
smokers and second by providing additional protection from winter elements that tend to
collect in this area. This type of construction would tend to blend in with the existing
structure much better than the smoking shelter. Cost appear to be similar once freight is
added to an adequate sized smoking shelter.

RE: FY00 STATE REVENUE SHARING/SAFE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM -POPULATION DETERMINATION
Dear Mayor Williams:
The Department of Community and Regional Affairs is charged by statute with determining the July 1,
1998, population of each municipality for FY00 State Revenue Sharing and Safe Communities Program
purposes.
The population of the City of Kenai has been determined to be 7,058.
If you do not agree with this figure, you may request an adjustment. A written request for a population
adjustment, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked no later than November 1, 1998.
The request must be supported by a method of population determination approved by this department.
For municipalities with populations of less than 1,000, the department requires that a "head count"
census be used. Municipalities with 1,000 or more residents may use a."head count census" or the
"housing unit" method which includes specific statistical measures. The department also requires that a
municipality's population determination methods be fully documented and that the governing body of
the municipality pass a resolution adopting the results of the census.

If you choose to request an adjustment, the enclosed booklet provides additional information on
population procedures and the "housing unit" method of population determination. Those cities
planning on conducting a population estimate using the "housing unit" method are strongly encouraged
to contact Laura Walters before beginning any population surveys. Ms. Walters is responsible for
validating acceptable statistical approaches.
Should you have any questions regarding this population determination, please call Laura Walters,
Research Analyst, or Bill Rolfzen, State Revenue Sharing Program Administrator, at 907-465-4750.

Dear Iolm,
'August 11, 1998
You should have recently received a resolution passed by the City
Council of Homer regarding the M/V Kennicott. We are hoping you could
look into this issue and help support bringing the M/V Kennicott and its
passengers to our area on a more routine basis. We feel it would be more
beneficial to the Peninsula if Homer was the prime port of departure and
embarkation on the M/V Kennicott's Southeastern runs.
Presently, with our dock configuration there would be no conflict to
berthing the M/V Kennicott on a routine basis. In addition to ~allowing our
local residents easier access to Southeast, this would increase tourism to our
areas.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions concerning .this issue.
We look ronsard to having your cities' support.
Sincerely,
k Cushing, Mayor/

CITY OF HOMER
HOMER, ALASKA
· RESOLUTION 98-66
· "'
MAI CITY
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALA
ENCOURAGING THE USE OF THE PORT OF HOMER AS THE
PORT OF CALL FOR THE M/V KENNICOTT DURING 1999
AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS.
WHEREAS, the KENNICOTT's inaugural year serving Southcentral Alaska is quickly
coming to an end; and
WHEREAS, scheduling for the KENNICOTT for the 1999 season will be occurring very
soon; and
WHEREAS, previous discussions with state officials indicated that if traveling public would
use the Port of Homer and could fill the ferry to capacity at Homer. then Homer would be considers
as a prime port of call; and
WHEREAS, discussions with ticketing authorities indicate reaching capacity, out of Homer
would be no problem; and
WHEREAS, the tourist industry has made indications that folks embarking or disembarking
from the ferry system generally would like to start at one end of Alaska and work their way across
the State without major needs to "double back"; and
WHEREAS, the location of Homer offers an entry point into the State where very little
"doubling back" is necessary, allowing tourism access to the Kenai and Soldotna Area without
"doubling back" as well as access to Seward with minimal effort; and
WHEREAS, the traveling public has indicated to ticketing personnel the desire for this travel
without "doubling back" and the central and lower peninsula public has always needed more
convenient access to Southeast; and
WHEREAS, the Port of Homer has the facility, currently, to accommodate the KENNICOTT
without being impacted by the cruise ship industry, a problem experienced in other areas this
summer.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Homer. Alaska that all
efforts be made and all consideration be given to making the Port of Homer the port of call for the
KENNICOTT's Southcentral loading and unloading for ferry runs from Southeast: and
BE IT FURTHER resolved that the Homer City Clerk shall send copies of this Resolution
as adopted to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the cities of Kenai. Seldovia. and Soldotna for
consideration of support and additional Resolutions; to the Speaker of the House Phillips. Senator
Torgerson and Borough Mayor Navarre for additional input and support; and that efforts be made
by DOT/PF Commissioner Perkins to implement scheduling considering Homer.

NATIONWIDE PERMIT (NWP) ISSUANCE AND MODIFICATION SPN 98-05
On behalf of the City of Kenai, i am submitting comments on regional issues and
conditions of the referenced NWP changes as they affoct the City.
Regional Condition D excludes coverage by certain NWPs in the areas under COE
jurisdiction that lie within the plan boundaries of the Kenai River Comprehensive
Management Plan (KRCMP). Effectively, this excludes over one-half of the area within
the City of Kenai boundaries from having available NWPs for certain activities due to
these areas being considered "contiguous wetlands." Attached are KRCMP Plan
Boundary maps and a City of Kenai-Development Constraints map from the City
Comprehensive Plan that depict the area involved.
Many of these wetland areas are sufficiently removed from the Kenai River or other
anadromous fish streams, or of lower value as habitat, to minimize the affects that minor
utility or maintenance work may have. Also, the ambiguity of actual wetland boundaries
causes problems. ^ simpler and more definable boundary, such as a stipulated
horizontal distance from the ordinary high-water mark of particular streams, would be
more appropriate. Geographic area 7) of Regional Condition D is defined in this
manner.
As the City of Kenai provides sewer and water services and our citizens need all utilities
available to them, we have the same concerns that other "pure" utility companies have
in being able to efficiently serve our "customers" and maintain our facilities. Routine
service line extensions and timely repair of sewer and/or water main lines and other

important system components should not require notification or time consuming
reviews.
The ability to reasonably develop private residences, businesses, and govemment
facilities should not be affected by the changes to the NWP System.
Currently, there appears to be in place adequate permit requirements by other State
agencies, as well as the COE, to adequately protect important streams and habitat.
The City of Kenai appreciates the opportunity to comment. Please contact me at
283-7535 if you would like to ask any questions or discuss particular items of
importance.

Dear Friends:
Thank you very much for your generous support of the 11 t~ Annual Kenai Peninsula Run
for Women. We wish to especially thank members of the city staff, Bob Frates, Jeff
Kohler and Keith Komelius, who provided valuable support and information to our Run
committee members. Thanks to the Fire Department for ambulance support also.
The Kenai Peninsula Run for Women has become established as an annual event, with
runners coming fi'om both Alaska and out of state. With community support of money,
food and prizes, we enjoyed a festive, fun event for entrants, volunteers and their
families.
The main purpose of the Run for Women is to increase visibility of the Women's
resource & Crisis Center and the services we provide. Some of these services are a 32
bed shelter with 24 hour advocacy, education, and support services for victims of
domestic violence and sexual assault.
Our agency offers a variety of educational support groups dealing with issues such as
violence, sobriety, parenting, incest, anger, elder abuse, and rm'al outreach. '~CC
administers the Child Care Assistance program (CCAP), the Women, Infants and
Children Program (WlC), and the Child Care Food Program (CCFP). WRCC also
provides a Transitional Living Center and a Batterer's Intervention Program.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Women's Resource & Crisis Center and the
Kenai Peninsula Run for Women.
Sincerely,
June Hards

Enclosed is a Questionnaire for the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC)
Municipal Matching Grants program for the next fiscal year (SFY 00). Please complete and return a
form for each water, sewer, solid waste or water quality enhancement project you wish considered for
State funding assistance. The completed questionnaire(s) need to be received by us no later than
September 18, 1998 to be considered for funding during next year's legislative process. The budget
process has been accelerated this year so it is important that you submit your questionnaire(s) on time.
In recent years, two significant changes to this grant program have occurred. Federal funds can now be
used to match State funds on a one-for-one basis. And, this program can now fund up to 85 percent of
a project, depending upon population. For communities with less than 1,000 people, 85 percent is the
funding limit. For communities with a population between 1.001 and 5,000 people, the funding limit is
70 percent. For communities with more than 5,000 people, the limit is 50 percent.
Along with the Questionnaire, we have sent you a copy of the criteria we use to evaluate projects.
Every year we review these criteria and modify them to accommodate the ever changing needs that
occur in Alaskan communities, as well as changing legal requirements. We believe this criteria system
balances the many different kinds of needs that have historically been present, as well as anticipating
future requirements. Please note that projects are scored on the basis of the information provided in
this Questionnaire. The number of points assigned to a category, is shown in parenthesis next to that
question. If two projects tie in scoring, the complete Questionnaire with the earliest date received by
ADEC will be given priority..
If you need technical assistance in filling out this Questionnaire. please contact Dan Garner in Juneau
at 465-5144 or Mike Lewis in Anchorage at 269-7616.
We look forward to assisting you in obtaining grant funds for your projects. Please contact me if you
have any questions.
