For 31 years Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been Safely Produced, Transported on Time and Marketed Successfully and Safely from Cook Inlet. Cook.,' Irt' let' Work~ " ' ,",~s,,,, f',,o,r A!as_~ ka! www. a I as ka.q as I i ne. or_q The Alaska North Slope LNG Project, a partnership between ARCO, BP, Phillips Petroleum, Foothills Pipeline and Marubeni, is just finishing a $ 22 Million feasibility study to build a $ 6 Billion Natural Gas Pipeline. They are considering a Cook Inlet Terminus. Why Alaskans should support a Cook Inlet Terminus'. 1. 70 % of potential Natural Gas consumers reside on the proposed Cook Inlet route. Compressed Natural Gas could benefit Rural and Bush residents. Other routes will require a costly spur lino to connoct Alaskan consumers with Alaskan Natural Gas. Consumers will pay for the spur line. 2. South Central Alaska's need for Natural Gas is increasing. New homes and industries need additional supplies of Natural Gas, and they need those supplies along the route to Cook Inlet. 3. The Cook Inlet route will protect existing Alaskan Jobs. Thousands of residents work for industries dependent upon Natural Gas. One Industry needing more natural gas is Alaskan Agricultural Products, which has a $30 Million annual Payroll to Alaska Residents. To protect these and other jobs, additional supplies of Natural Gas are needed in South Central Alaska. 4. The Cook Inlet route has space for new industrial growth. Alaska's Economy needs new industries to expand opportunities, to create quality jobs, to increase the tax base and to build healthy Economic Development. Industry needs room for facilities, storage, housing and support industries. There is plenty of space all along the Railbelt on the routo to Cook Inlet.

There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 4-a. Sandra Ghormley -- Homer Electric Association, Inc. As noted at Agenda Approval, Dwayne Farlo gave a presentation on Homer Electric's fiber optics project. He explained research on the fiber optics project began in 1995 and though the project was something unlike anything HEA had done in the past the Board committed to build a fiber optic infrastructure between Homer and Kenai by way of Soldotna and their generation plant north of town. Farlo expla/ned, fiber optics was transmitting a signal through glass and that Homer Electric began using fiber optics for increased communications within their utility organization and also with their substations throughout the service area. Farlo demonstrated how fiber optics worked by passing around a casing or band width approximately two inches in diameter and containing 24 strands of fiber. He noted, this type of casing was suspended for 90 miles approximately two feet under the power lines from Homer to Kenai. HEA was only using two strands for themselves and had two as backup in case of power failure; leaving 20 strands for other communication use. He also passed out information comparing the old communication of transmitting signals through copper to the new fiber optics technology. Farlo noted mOre verbal communications, data communication, and Video conferencing is available through · fiber optics and expansion is unlimited. Farlo also noted, in the early stages of development HEA wanted to help the School District develop a communications technology that would allow their students to have the same opportunities of other children in Seattle or San Francisco at a cost that they could afford. HEA contracted with the School District and leased the 20 strands (in the casing) to PTI first and later ATULD to be used for the Intemet for the schools. He noted, a network of 16 schools was scheduled to begin using this technology at the end of the week which would cover every school within two miles of the transmission line. With the technology, the Kenai Peninsula School District would be able to get more information than any other in the United States. Questions were asked as to whether HEA could hook the library up to their lines, but it was found they would be unable to do it. The library would need to speak with PTI about this hooking in. ITEM 5' REPORTS 5-a. Director - Jankowska reported she and Emily DeForest went to the Alaska Libraries Conference in Fairbanks and felt it was the best conference she had ever attended. She noted she would be meeting with the Finance Director and the City Manager to discuss the library's budget for the coming year and also discussed the memorandum in the Commission packet regarding library opening hours and use of staff hours. She passed out March's library calendar and discussed some of the events listed. In response to Dwayne Farlo's presentation, she felt it was very important the library upgrade their phone system and modem capabilities because they use the Intemet for almost everything they do. Chair Peters asked everyone to review the handout concerning FY01 Capital Budget Planning and to contact any of the legislators listed on the back for their comments. 5-b. Friends of the Library - Commissioner Brown reported the Friends membership information had been mailed out. She also reported, the tea introducing the Frances Meeks memorial book collection was very well attended. 5-c. City Council Liaison - Moore gave no report.

Tim Wisniewski requested that Plants be added as Item 6.a, under New Business. The agenda was approved with the additions. ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTE~- February 3, 2000 With no corrections and/or additions noted, the minutes of the February 3, 2000 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting were approved as written. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Ryan Green -- It was explained Green is the grandson of Bernie Huss and attended the meeting to present a proposal for improving the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail. Green had a map of the area and newspaper articles of past clean-up and improvement efforts. Green's project would be a part of the "Caring for the Kenai' program and he would get school credit for his efforts. Green reported that a lot of trash accumulates on the trail and he, in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club and Young Marines, would volunteer to clean up the area every other day during the summer. Green also reported he requested Alan Norville to consider erecting a fence to separate his strip mall and the trail. Green stated he thought the vandalism would be minimized if the fimess equipment was removed and perhaps some benches and picnic tables could be placed throughout the trail and some big toys could be placed in the center for younger children. Discussion took place on the removal of fitness equipment and Frates thought it would be beneficial if it was moved. Frates continued, adding tables and benches would change the original intent but since the fitness equipment only got minimal use the change could be good for the trail. Green discussed the possibility of having the tables and benches made out of the beetle kill trees with the framework being donated by businesses in the area. Green pointed out that replacement or repair of such equipment would be minimal and the beetle kill trees would be utilized. Green indicated his proposal needed to be submitted by March 17 and final selection would be made on March 25. Green requested input from the Parks Commission and noted Suzanne Little offered to do a site overview free of charge. The Commission thanked Green for his presentation and wished him luck on the project and agreed the proposal would benefit the trail. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. Discussion- Banner Selection Frates reported the space originally donated to Helen Brown for work on the banners was no longer available and that she was checking with the high school and EDD for space. If she is unable to find other space, she would begin the work in her basement. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS 6-a. Discussion- Plants Wisniewski noted the planter boxes were not as healthy last year as in prior years and asked what options were available to improve them. Frates stated, many factors affected the boxes, including weather, the short season and maintenance. Discussion took place on the greenhouse and it was pointed out the intent of the greenhouse was a place to keep the plants that were purchased from Trinity until they could be placed in planters. Frates noted the planter boxes were old and in poor condition, however, new ones were being built to replace the older ones. Frates stated the City would contact various businesses to see if they would be interested in adopting a planter box and they would be responsible for the upkeep during the summer. ITEM 7: DIRECTORS REPORT 7-a. Commission Chair-- No report. 7-b. Director PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 2, 2000 PAGE 2 Director Frates reported the following: Multi-purpose Facility -- The ice was holding up pretty well in spite of the warmer temperatures but the ice is being used quite frequently.

Roll Call Vice-Chair Bryson called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and roll was called as follows: Commissioners Present- Commissioners Absent: Others Present: Bryson, Erwm, Goecke, Nord, Gough, and Jackman Glick City Clerk Freas, Administrative Assistant Kebschull, Councilman Bannock 1-b. Agen~ Approval Vice Chair Bryson requested Leo Oberts be added as Item 2-a. to discuss the Unity Trail Project.

There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 1-d. Consent Agenda MOTION: Commissioner Nord MOVED to remove PZ00-04 (Home Occupation Permit- Gun Shop/Gunsmith---1110 Channel Way, Kenai) from the Consent Agenda and Commissioner Gough SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Bryson requested a staff report from Kebschull who noted the item was before the Commission for the second time. The item had been before the Commission initially as a conditional use permit which had been denied. Kebschull reported administration .met with the applicants and discussed how the business could be operated as a home occupation. She explained, this would be by appointment only, phone, mail service, etc. instead of as a store front business. Kebschu11 continued, the applicant, Robinson, submitted an application based on the criteria for a home occupation and administration reviewed the application. KebschuH stated, administration believed Robinsons satisfied the criteria for a home occupation permit. She noted, because the item was reviewed before and there had been some concerns by neighboring property owners, as a courtesy she sent notices of the home occupation permit application by certified mail to those who were notified the last time and to those who spoke at the previous hearing. Kebschull stated she received no comments from recipients of the notices. Bryson stated the item would be discussed further at Item 5-a. ITEM 2: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT leo Oberts -- Unity Trail Oberts explained he was speaking to the Commission in order to urge the city's involvement in tourism development in Kenai in relation to Silver Salmon Drive and the Pillars State Park area along the Kenai River. Oberts noted the Unity Trail would be passing Silver Salmon Drive, the entrance to the Pillars area, which would be a fantastic opportunity for him and the city to encourage tourism in the city. Oberts gave a history of the development of the Pillars and the subsequent development of the state park area. He noted, when the pillars were placed years ago, the salmon liked the area for spawning and it developed into a favorite fishing hole on the River. However, due to some subsequent damage to the pillars, the salmon stopped spawning in that area. Oberts stated the city had never participated strongly in promoting tourism in the area and he encouraged a change in that philosophy, and suggested the city put some funding into tourism development in the Pillars State Park area. Bryson requested a report from Kebschull in regard to the Unity Bike Trail Project. Kebschull reported she attended the Unity Trail Workshop on February 16 and reviewed the drawings for the trail. She noted, the project would go out for bid in the near future .and construction was to take place during the coming summer. Kebschull also reported several concerns were voiced by attendees that the State chose the south side of the highway on which to place the trail. · ITEM 3: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS -- None. ,, PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 2 ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARINGS-- None. ITEM 5: NEW BUSINESS , S-a. PZ00-04--Home Occupation Permit - Gun Shop/Gunsmith-- 1110 Channel Way (Lot 5, Block 5, Inlet Woods Subdivision), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Steve and Judy Robinson, 1110 Channel Way (P.O. Box 3589), Kenai, Alaska. This item was taken off the consent agenda at the beginning of the meeting and a staff report was given at that time. MOTION: Commissioner Goecke MOVED for approval of PZ00-04, Home Occupation Permit for a gunsmith shop at 1110 Channel Way. Commissioner Erwin SECONDED the motion. Bryson stated he understood the proposed activity met the requirements for a home occupation permit and administration felt there were no reasons to deny the permit. There were no other comments. VOTE: I Bryson Yes ! Erwin Nord Yes Gough Glick Absent Yes Goecke Yes Jackman Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-b. Title 14 Code Revisions- Development Requirements Table/Land Use Table Kebschull reported, the omission of the requirements for the Conservation (C) Zone was discovered in the Development Requirements Table. She noted, it was unclear if the Conservation Zone had ever been included in the table, but stated the omission would have to be cleared up. Kebschull added, because the Rural Residential Zone {RR) had the most stringent criteria already included in the Code, administration was recommending the Conservation Zone be added to that portion of the table. Kebschull added, the text at KMC 14.20.070 stated "Airport and related uses have been included in this zone to allow for the reservation of aircraft approach zones." She continued, the city attorney reviewed the information and suggested a footnote be added to the Land Use Table to clarify permitted airport uses in this zone, i.e. strictly PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 3 for an aircraft approach zone. Kebschull stated she wanted to include that change to the list of amendments to Title 14 which had already been reviewed by the Commission and would subsequently be forwarded to council for review and consideration. There were no other comments from the commission members. There were no objections by the commission members to include the amendment to the other Title 14 revisions they had already reviewed. -C. Discussion -- Historic District Board- Work Session (April 17, 2000) Kebschull referred to her memorandum which was included in the packet. She noted, historically, the Board had problems making quorums in order to hold their meetings. The number of meetings had been changed to quarterly last year, but only two meetings of the four in the last year had quorums and nothing had been accomplished during the year. She continued, the council was reviewing options for the Board, including whether elimination of the Board would affect the Certified Local Government standing and because the Board was advisory to the Planning & Zoning Commission, whether the responsibilities of the Board could or should be transferred to the Commission. Kebschull reported, the Board would hold a special meeting on April 3 at which time they would be reviewing their options, develop a plan, etc. and council would then meet with the Board during the Board's regular meeting of April 17. During the April 17 meeting, the council would review the Board's plan, etc. She noted, the council requested members of the Commission to attend the April 17 meeting as well. Councilman Bannock added, he believed the council was divided in regard to the Board's purpose and objective and thought the April 17 discussion would help them in their decision of the Board's future. Bannock added, because the Board was a subcommittee of the Commission, he insisted the Commission be included in the work session to include their input. He noted, three new members to the Board were appointed at the February 16 council meeting to give every opportunity to the Board to succeed within its own boundaries. Bryson questioned the degrees of expertise the members of the Board were to provide and noted the Commission would be able to provide assistance, but not necessarily the expertise defined in the code. Bannock noted the phrase "wherever possible" allowed some room for flexibility and was discussed by council. He added, he believed if there were seven people who were willing volunteers and were struggling, the talent PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 4 was at the Commission level. Goecke stated he supported the Board having a chance to hold quorums, etc., but didn't feel they would succeed if past attendance, etc. was an indication. ITEM 6: OLD BU$INF~S 6-a. Title 14 Code Revisions- Balloon Signs Kebschull noted, at their last meeting, the Commission requested the city attorney review and determine whether or not a balloon sign would cause an encroachment in air space. She reported, the attorney researched the question and stated he didn't believe there would be an encroachment, but would be a minor, short-term, and unenforceable trespass and suggested two options; allow the balloon signs in the limited capacity noted or choose to prohibit the balloon signs. Commissioner Nord suggested the signs be prohibited. Jackman stated she had observed balloon signs in Kenai which was not often and when used, were not for prolonged use. She asked if there had been complaints in regard to balloon signs in the past and added, if there were no complaints and they were for a limited time, she believed the balloon signs should be allowed. She continued, she didn't believe it appropriate to prevent a business from using balloon signs during sales, inventory reduction, etc. as she believed it would be inappropriate to prohibit a business from selling .its products. Nord stated she had no objection to balloon signs, but if there would not be any enforcement of trespass, she would object to them. She noted, because the city attorney confirmed there would be trespasses, she could not condone them, even if they would be the owners' responsibility. Nord stated she was in favor of disallowing them as stated in the memorandum, "...balloons or other gas filled figures are not permitted except as provided..." and made a motion to disallow balloon signs. The motion died for lack of a second. MOTION: Commissioner Goecke MOVED to allow balloon signs within the parameters spelled out in the memorandum. It was noted the balloon sign amendments would be included in the other Title 14 amendments and would be before the Commission for public hearing. $~0~: Commissioner dackman SECONDED the motion. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 5 .Bryson stated, if it was the Commission's intent to separate the balloon discussion from the other amendments, it should be clarified. Kebschull noted, it had been planned to present one resolution with all the amendments included which would include new changes, housekeeping changes, etc. Jackman asked if each individual item would be included in the advertisement of the resolution. Kebschull noted she would publish the public hearing in the paper twice and would post notices at City Hall, the Post Office, and the court house. Goecke stated he believed, as a businessman, it was important that every type of advertising be available to be used. He stated, he believed allowing balloon signs could be a problem if a person was holding a garage sale and tied balloons at the end of the driveway and they came loose and floated into the neighbor's yard, however he was in favor of the amendment allowing the balloons. Bryson stated he didn't believe that use of balloons would be covered under the ordinance and if it were so vial that it was a trespass, it would be a trespass. Bryson stated it was his understanding the wording to allow balloon signs would be incorporated into the other amendments to be made to Title 14 and presented for public hearing to the Commission. VOTE: Erwin Gou§h B19rson Yes Yes No Goecke Jackman Yes Yes Nord Glick No Absent MOTION PASSED. Kebschull stated she would try to put the amendments together, advertise and post in order to have a public hearing on the resolution (including all the suggested changes to the code) at the Commission's March 8 meeting. Bannock suggested administration draft an agenda of individual items to be amended in Title 14 to review with council at the March 16 joint work session with the Commission. He noted, he and Councilman Bookey wanted to review all the suggested changes and not than just the livestock ordinance. Bryson agreed that would be appropriate if time permitted. He added, the Commission's public hearing would be held prior to the work session. Kebschull noted the title of the resolution stated changes to Title 14, but did not list the changes individually except for in the body of the attachment. She added, after the Commission held its public hearing, the amendments would be forwarded to council as an information item. Bannock urged the agenda list the changes individually as he and Councilman Bookey both expected to do it that way. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 6 Bryson asked if the two additional items discussed during the meeting should be included in the amendments. Jackman stated her concern there were too many amendments to discuss in the one-hour work session. Bannock noted, a number of the items were housekeeping issues and wouldn't take a lot of time. There were no objections to including the balloon sign info~ation in the resolution mending Title 14. ITEM 7: 'PENDING ITEMS -a. Proposed Livestock Ordinance (Work Session scheduled with City Council for March 15, 2000 at 6'00 p.m.) Bryson asked if the commissioners would object to holding a work session on the item after the commission meeting. There were no objections. ITEM 8: CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEM 9: REPORTS 9-a. City Council -- Bannock noted a copy of the action agenda of the February 16 council meeting was included in the packet. He noted a number of items had been included on the consent agenda and would be considered at the March I meeting. Bannock reported the golf fees would be increased and a special use permit was approved for selective harvesting beetle-killed and infested trees on city property in the Inlet Woods Subdivision. He added, the contractor would be making himself available to private land owners in the area as well. Bannock noted Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club spoke to council in regard to its future and the potential partnering of the city and the Club as there was a possibility of their having to move from the Kenai Elementary School in the next several years. Because of the potential, she discussed ideas of adding to the Recreation Center, building a Club.on other city property, etc. 9-b. Borough Planning -- Bryson referred to the agenda of the Borough Planning Commission's February 14 meeting included in the packet. He noted all the items on the agenda had been approved. 9-c. Administration -- Kebschull stated she would prepare the amendments to Title 14 for consideration at the Commission's next meeting. ITEM 10: PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED -- None. ITEM 11: INFORMATION ITEMS PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 7 ll-a. ll-b. 11-c. 11-d. Kenai City Council Roster Planning Commissioner Training Seminar Brochure "Zoning Bulletin" - January 25, 2000 Unity Trail Comments and Responses ITEM 12: COMMISSION COMMENTS/h QUESTIONS -- There were no commissioner comments. Bannock referred to the February 4, 2000 letter from Mr. & Mrs. Robinson which was included in the packet. He noted, the Commission approved an encroachment permit for the Robinson property and the City Manager determined the City of Kenai would appeal the approval of the pe _rmit for the side yard encroachment only. Bannock explained, since then the Robinsons were attempting to purchase the property on which they were encroaching, however the city would not remove its appeal but would request council to set the appeal hearing in July {with both parties willin§) in order to give time to the Robinsons to purchase the property. He noted, if the property is purchased and re-platted, the encroachment would no 1on§er exist and the appeal would be withdrawn. Bannock stated he had been under the impression that when an encroachment permit was in place, the encroachment no longer existed. However, the city attorney stated it would be an allowable encroachment. Bannock continued, the code states where there is an encroachment, no conditional use permit can be obtained. He explained, that would have been a problem if the Robinson's encroachment permit had stood and the conditional use permit had been approved. He asked for Commission comments. Goecke stated he also understood that if an encroachment permit was applied for and received from the Commission, the encroachment no longer existed. He added, he believed that authority had been given to the Commission to remove the encroachment. Erwin stated he understood Bannock to say that if a mistake was made when a house was built and an encroachment permit was received, the house could never obtain a conditional use permit for any reason. Bannock stated, that was the attorney's opinion. Erwin stated that could affect a lot of buildings in Kenai and added, though it might be legal, he didn't think it was fight. Kebschull explained, the issue was for principally permitted use. Bannock stated he believed that opinion would be a potential problem. Nord stated, she believed the encroachment would still exist, but the permit acknowledged, permitted, and licenseed the problem. Goecke asked Nord if there would be an encroachment permit granted on property which was for sale, was she, as a realtor, required and/or the seller required to make PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 8 it known to the purchaser. Nord answered, if there was a granted encroachment permit, it could be interpreted as a material fact of whether a purchaser woUld purchase the properW or not. She added, as a realtor, she believed it should be disclosed. Nord answered, the State required all sellers to complete a disclosure where it asks about encroachments. Kebschull noted, the code stated, "The issuance of an encroachment permit will not authorize a use which is not a principally permitted use in the zoning district." She explained, the issue arose when Robinson applied for an encroachment permit, and changed the use of the shed from a shed to a shop which was not a principally permitted use. Kebschull added, the shed could have an encroachment because the code allowed for an accessory use for a house to be a shed (accessory structure), but when the shed's use was turned into a business, it was no longer an accessory structure and not a principally permitted use in a residential zone. She noted, that was why administration recommended against the issuance of the encroachment permit. ITEM 13: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:04 p.m. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 9 PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSION WORK SF, SSION 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 animals, 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 attomey 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 FFA, 4-H projects, Girl Scouts, etc. 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 a~_imals. 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 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 1 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 lots 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 ff 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 Ar~imal Control Officer inspects and cites ff there's a problem. The question arose if subdivision covenants didn't cover the concern and did the city enforce covenants. It was noted, covenants were maintmed 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 Va 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 ftrst 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. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 23, 2000 PAGE 2 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. Notes transcribed by: Carol L.

Kebschull reported she had received an e-mail from a concerned citizen regarding PZ00-05. A copy of the e-mail was provided prior to the meeting. Kebschull stated she responded to the individual and explained there were several public notices regarding the proposed ordinance changes and included advertised public hearings. Kebschull suggested the Commission change the aerie sign ordinance to prohibit them as the Airport Manager pointed out FAA regulations prohibit the use of moored balloons or kites within five miles of an airport. Kebschull pointed out on the City of Kenai map the areas where such signs would be prohibited based on the FAA regulations. It was noted it covered practically the entire City. Kebschull stated it was previously recommended that natural gas be added in Section 14.20.245 but after further review it, was noted natural gas was already included. The recommended statement should be removed. There were no public comments. MOTION: Commissioner Goecke MOVED to approve PZ00-05 and the motion was SECONDED by Commissioner Erwin. MOTION TO AMEND: Commissioner Nord MOVED to amend the main motion to include removing aerial signs from the sign ordinance and removing the recommended addition of natural gas from SeCtion 14.20.245, noting the original natural gas statement would remain.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MARCH 8, 2000 PAGE 2 Goecke asked if removing aerie signs from the sign ordinance would preclude anyone from obtaining a variance. Kebschull replied the sign code allowed for variances, however the variance would have to meet with FAA requirements. Goecke asked why Kenai's neighbors were allowed to have aerie signs. Kebschull answered she didn't know but would share the FAA regulations with the City of Soldotna. Kebschull continued, many cities don't allow aerie signs and the FAA regulations could be the reason why. Discussion took place on different classes of airpo~s and the FAA regulations. Kebschull reported the Airport Manager would be at the work session on March 15 and could answer any questions at that time.

KVCB Board Meeting · December 16, 1999 Page 2 G. ACTION ITEMS *Proposed Budget Year 2000 - There was much discussion about the proposed budget for 2000. Director Vozar inquired about the status of KVCB's managemem contract with the City of Kenai. Tarr explained that there were no changes anticipated in the city's FY01 Budget. The funding level for the Bureau was expected to remain status quo. Director Malston inquired about the Bicentennial Bingo revenues anticipated for year 2000. The long-term forecast for gaming profits remains highly unstable. Tarr stated that depending on gaming revenues as the organization's primary source of operational funding is a "guessing game."

The main purpose of the exhibition is to raise proceeds for a Kenai Peninsula College scholarship fund and to attract more visitors to Kenai. A copy of the "Alaska 2000" Budget was distributed and discussed. After all project expenses are covered, including reimbursement of the up from costs to KVCB, proceeds will deposited in a scholarship fund for KPC. The budget for the art exhibition was estimated at $57,000. Various sponsors are being solicited to help defray costs of the Alaska 2000 exhibition. A grant request for $10,000 was submitted to the Rasmuson Foundation by KVCB and KPC for money to pay for exhibition materials. Should other sponsors be secured, more money will be made available to cover such as exhibition materials. Tart said the Kenai River Sportfishing Association had also been approached as a major sponsor. Although KVCB was not successful with its proposal to KRSA for major sponsorship, KRSA encouraged the Bureau to scale down the funding request and to put more of an emphasis on the educational component. A second proposal was being submitted to KRSA for their review at the $3,000 level asking for assistance with the Science on the Kenai free summer interpretive programs which would be held during the "Alaska 2000" art exhibition and through the end of August.

The ~ was distributed to the board several months ago. Director Braun said the draft had been reviewed by an attorney since then and he felt comfortable with the new additions. Tan' said the handbook was greatly expanded as the former employee handbook was missing important information and some of the text needed clarified.

KVCB Board Meeting December 16, 1999 Page 4 Director Braun asked about other local involvement for the show. He recommended that when mists come to Kenai, ads should be placed in the local paper. An aggressive advertising program is being undertaken, said Tam The Bureau is also working with the Kenai River Classic, Ducks Unlimited, the Audobon Society, and others. The Bureau was also looking for a major sponsor for the Community Day and the Grand Opening Reception which would not conflict with the opening of the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska.

The stakeholder group ~as invited to meet in Kenai by Tart and they agreed to meet at the Cemer on January 13~" (approximately 50 people from Anchorage and the peninsula.) "Get to Know Kenai' was held for the first time last April. This was a very successful Kenai familiarization program for local hotel workers, taxi cab drivers, restaurant employees, retail clerks, etc. April 2000 is going to be an especially busy time for the Bureau as it is the Great Alaska Sportsman Show in Anchorage and the last two weeks of the month are reserved for installing the 75 paintings for the Alaska 2000 art show. The suggested date for this year's "Get to Know Kenai" program is early April, possibly Thursday, April 6~.

Tart reported on an article which ap _w~red in Travel Weekly magazine about the restructuring of Alaska's tourism marketing program. Tarr reminded the board that part of the advertising money for 2000 was to be expended for Kenai VCB's contribution to the statewide marketing efforts, as all CVBs in Alaska are voluntarily contributing. Susan Springer from Seldovia won the new ATIA board seat for Southcentral. Tart recently attended the AVA board meeting and the Marketing Forum. Klm Booth, formerly director of KVCB is now working for AVA. Bill Elander, CEO of Anchorage CVB is retiring after 12 years with the Bureau~ KPTMC's 2000 Kenai Pemnsula visitor guide was distributed. A membership issue that needs to be addressed is the dues structure for large companies which have various subisidiaries such as Cook Inlet Region. CIRI recently purchased Kenai Fjords Tours, Alaska Windsong Lodge, etc. There was discussion about the membership policy and whether CIRI's subisidiaries should pay separately for their dues at $100 each. Currently, additional companies pay only $50 for their second membership using a differem business name. Board members felt that only Kenai-based companies should be eligible for a $50 second membership. Director Bookey said that traditionally companies based outside of Kenai have paid $100 for each business listing. This will be an agenda item for February. 'At that time, the overall dues structure will be examined. BOARD COMMENTS Director Malston said he was developing a plaque using KVCB's logo to be used in the fimare to recognize outgoing KVCB board members and for other special tourism presentation purposes.

Box 110601 Juneau, ~aska 99811-0601 S~~CT: Ken~ Health Center Schematic Desi~ Phase Pro~ess Update DALE BAGLEY MAYOR Dear Commissioner Perdue, Three (3) unique floor plans have been presented to the Construction Advisory Committee (C.A.C.) The C.A.C. is composed of represematives fi'om both the Department of Public Health and Central Peninsula General Hospital. The third floor plan is for a two-story building. The additional expense for developmem and presemation of the two-story plan will be paid for solely by Central Peninsula General Hospital. All three plans are curremly only in the schematic phase and no "final" selection has been made. At this time, the Cemral Peninsula General Hospital Operating Board is considering whether or not to approve additional funds that would be required to build the two-story plan. The two-story plan would require an additional $1,000,000.00 (give or take). I attended the CPGH Operating Board meeting on February 24, 2000 and can summarize that board members were not leaning toward approving a two-story plan. During the meeting I pointed out to the CPGH Operating Board that both parties must agree on a plan, and even if the hospital wanted to choose the two-story plan they must reach agreement with the other party as to its final design, to do so. This project is curremly funded through a $1,700,000.00 State grant through DHSS and $1,000,000.00 of KPB funds, and is only in the schematic design phase. At present, all schematic plans presemed exceed the proposed budget amount and both sides will have to scale back somewhat to stay within budget. The DHSS side is currently at 7,140 square feet and needs to be reduced to 6,500 square feet. I am confidem that a plan suitable and acceptable to both parties will soon be agreed upon, and that any necessary design adjustmems to stay within budget will also be agreed upon by both parties.

The festival has grown out of our desire to learn more about the fiver, how we affect it in our daily activities, and what we might do to keep our fiver healthy and productive for generations to come. The Festival begins with a parade led by our new colorful 29 foot salmon who remains with us the entire two day event. Throughout the event, people can listen to live music, enjoy hands-on activities for children, meet live birds, watch a puppet show, meet local artists and view their work, and taste the first sockeye salmon of the season. In previous years, information booths have been staffed by government agencies and local community groups. There is no entrance fee or charge for any activities. Numerous volunteers offer their time for the weekend, but their labor of love is not enough. We still need funds to make it happen. We rely on the financial support of people like you! How can you help? Your contribution will be put to good use. Please see the enclosed sheet to see the levels of support available.

These measures have clearly taken their toll on the State's ability to sustain our traditional support to other agency programs. Unfortunately, as a result of these continued reductions and the'anticipation of even further cuts for next fiscal year, the Department will no longer be able to contribute half of the local match traditionally provided toward your Federal Aviation Administration capital projects for the Kenai Municipal Airport. This action will take effect with FFY01 (Federal Fiscal Year) grants. I regret having to take this measure and trust you understand the difficulW of this decision. Sincerely, Joseph L. Perkins, P.E.

If your company has an internal reporting form you prefer to use, please fax or mail a copy to my office for approval. Recently a review was conducted of airport fees and costs. Landing fees at the Kenai Municipal Airport are currently twenty-five cents per thousand pounds CGTOW. This fee has been in effect since 1991 (Res. 90-66). YEAR AIl/FIELD M 6s O COSTS LANDING FEE PER LANDING FEF~ 1000 LBS CGTOW COLLECTED 1991 $299,213.00 .25 $82,409.00 , , 1992 $361,100.00 .25 $76,766.00 , 1993 $382,994.00 .25 $71,074.00 1994 $396,375.00 .25 $68,254.

These costs include FAA mandated ARFF response, snow removal, pavement maintenance, insurance and utilities. The numbers reflect the cost of airfield maintenance only; terminal and landside costs are tracked separately. During the Upcoming budget meetings the Airport intends to request the City Council raise the landing fee from the current rate of .25 to .50 cents per thousand pounds (CGTOW). This increase will help the Airport comply with the requirement that it operate as an Enterprise Fund and bring our rate structure more in line with other airports in the State. Page 1 of 2 As the next chart below illustrates, this increase will leave Kenai with the lowest landing fee of the municipal and state owned Alaskan airports funded from an enterprise fund system (not receiving funding from the State General Fund).

The COST PER PASSENGER was calculated based on an 80% load factor. Note that this is a landing fee only; there is no charge to the departing aircraft therefore the passenger capability of the aircraft is doubled for this calculation.

The landing fee increase, if approved, would not go into effect until the FY2001 budget year beginning July 1, 2000. I hope that you view this increase as an essential and fiscally responsible proposal. If you have any questions on this proposal, landing fees, forms or any other concems please call me at (907) 283-7951.
