PLANNING ~k ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION
FEBRUARY 23, 2000
$:10 P.M.
It was noted the work session was being held to discuss the proposed livestock
ordinance.
Gough referred to the proposed ordinance and noted it referred to large animals. He
stated his concern was for smaller animala, i.e. geese, dog kennels, dog teams, etc. He
suggested the ordinance be expanded beyond large animals.
Goecke explained he had originally requested the definition of large animals in the
ordinance to include "but not limited to cattle, buffalo, llama..." He added, the
attorney didn't like the terminology and changed it. Goecke stated he had not
considered flocks of geese, chickens, etc.
It was explained, the Animal Control Officer issues kennel permits and suggested the
commissioners contact the officer if they were aware of kennels, etc. and the officers
would investigate them.
Bryson noted, the ordinance, as written would include virtually the whole city as there
was little area in the city that was three acres or larger and individually owned. Most
of the larger lots were owned either by the city or were Native-owned lands. Bryson
also noted in his 22 years on the Commission he was not aware of any problems with
animals brought to the Commission other than a covenant problem discussed
approximately :20 years prior where a horse was being kept on a small lot. He added,
he did not understand why large animals had to be restricted to Rural Residential lots
that were larger than three acres. He added, if the problem was small lots, then small
lots should be addressed, etc. He noted, there were a lot of children involved in FF^,
4-H projects, Girl Scouts, et{::, where they could have farm stock projects. Bryson
stated he was opposed to advancing the ordinance.
Jackman stated she agreed with Bryson as far as club project activities and asked if a
permit could be required and easy to obtain. She added, she didn't think a herd of
animals was appropriate in the city limits.
Bryson stated he had been dismayed that established subdivisions (Woodland, Inlet
View, Inlet Woods, Redoubt, etc.) had not addressed more stringent animal aspects to
their zoning. He noted, he felt the more appropriate place to restrict animals was in
the zones and lot size. He noted, his house was situated on a Government Lot which
was 1 ¥, acres and was sufficient to raise larger animals. He noted the RS-2 zone was
more restrictive and suggested changes could be made to that zone to make it
compatible. He added, because people usually do not want to rezone. However, if the
city proposed it and paid for the costs, etc. and adequately explained what would be

done, it could be appropriate.
might be appropriate.
Bryson suggested a lot of 10,000-20 ;000 square feet
Goecke stated he believed larger four-legged animals didn't belong in the City of Kenai
on property less than three-acre parcels. Gough agreed the matter might need to be
addressed, but thought the allowable sized Iota should be smaller.
Kebschull stated the Comprehensive Plan would be reviewed beginning in the summer
and suggested the concern could be an issue to discuss with property owners at
workshops during the development of the Plan. Nord suggested that if there was an
ordinance, people with concerns would have a venue for a complaint. Kebschull
explained, calls of concern were currently addressed as health and safety concerns
and the Animal Control Officer inspects and cites if there's a problem.
The question arose if subdivision covenants didn't cover the concem and did the city
enforce covenants. It was noted, covenants were maintained through home owner
associations and enforcement of covenants was not a responsibility of the city
government.
Bryson stated, animals and their treatment and impact on neighbors were situations
that could be avoided if the animals were taken care of by the owners. He added, this
could be reduced by the lot size requirements. Bryson stated he would not be in favor
of the ordinance if a change was not made to the limitation of the zoning, lot sizes, etc.
Gough agreed.
Goecke asked if the Commission would agree to the ordinance if the three acre size
would be cut to 1 ¥o~ acres. Gough stated, knowing the Animal Control Officer handled
large animal concerns currently, he didn't believe the ordinance was needed. Bryson
stated he didn't think cutting the size of the lots addressed his concerns. Nord stated
she would want fowl to be included in the ordinance due to a problem that arose
during a prospective real estate sale. She added, if there was going to be an
ordinance, she wanted it to be more inclusive. Gough stated he was satisfied the
ordinance was not necessary if Animal Control could handle complaints that occur as
a health and safety issue.
Bannock asked if it would be better to draft an ordinance which would specify what
the problems might be if too many animals were kept on properties in the city and
address remediation of those problems through Animal Control.
It was suggested Animal Control Officer Godek be invited to the work session on
March 15 in order to hear what problems he sees, etc. Kebschull noted, the
institution of the ordinance would most affect Animal Control through additional
responsibility. She added, when the ordinance was first drafted, Godek reviewed it
and mentioned his concern the ordinance would add more responsibilities for which
he didn't have the manpower to enforce them.

dackman suggested that if there was not a large problem with large animals at this
time, adding the ordinance to the code could create more problems. Nord stated she
didn't think it was known if there was a problem as there was no ordinance in the
code to address them.
Erwin stated he was not in favor of creating a new ordinance if something was
currently in the code to address large animal problems. It was noted, council had not
yet discussed the ordinance.
The work session ended at approximately 9:15 p.m.
