August 15, 2002
Proposal for Air Fare Study
Attached is a proposal for Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. to conduct in-depth reSearch into local
airfares, travel preferences and possible marketing strategies for attracting additional air service
to the Kenai market.
This proposal is in response to my inquiries based on concem expressed by Council and the
Airport Commission regarding lack of competition in the Kenai market. To date our efforts to
attract another carder have been ineffective, while local airfams have increased 30% in the past 6
months and enplanements have decreased 20%. The Airport Commission and I feel strongly that
we need to take a pro-active position before the situation becomes cdtical for our concessionaires
and traveling public.
As you can see from the attached proposal, them are three phases to the project. The first phase
gathers basic information; the second expands to determine historical and current travel data;
and the third explores possible marketing strategies. The second and third phases will include
meetings with Council, the Airport Commission and the public. The third phase will also include
contacting local businesses that purchase large numbers of tickets to explore ticket guarantee
options for new careers. The final and perhaps most exciting result of this project is the
possibility of grant money to help improve air service. Them are grant funds available to assist
communities that have no service or extremely high airfares. Them is a lot of competition in this
particular grant program; however, Sixel was successful in obtaining two large grants last year for
communities under this program.
Them was no money budgeted for this study; therefore, it will require an appropriation from
Council from airport fund balance.
Let me know if you have questions or need further information.

TICKET LIFT SURVEY / TRUE MARKET - AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
PROPOSAL
August 7, 2002
Rebecca Cronkhite
Airport Manager
Kenai Municipal Airport
305 North Willow, Suite 200
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Dear Rebecca:
Per our conversation last week, please examine the following proposal. I have broken it into three
elements, so that you can only pursue the work that you feel is most relevant to your situation. Also,
please note that we have contacted all seven of Kenai-Soldotna's travel agents. Of those seven
agencies, four had automated back-office accounting systems, while three were manual. Six of the
agents contacted expressed an interest in participating in further research, while one of the automated
agencies is reluctant and may not participate.
Element 1 will determine the average airfares for local Kenai-Anchomge traffic. This will determine the
affoet that changes in airfaros on this mute have had on enplanements. As we discussed, after you
ordered the Airport Traffic Summary, them is a major problem in the DOT data that you received. As a
small-certificated air carder, ERA Aviation does not report into the DOT's OD1^ database and therefore,
fare information is non-existent. We did, however, apply an estimated fare based on a standard industry
yield formula for the mileage to Anchorage. However, it is not rofle~tive of reality. The pa,~enger
numbers should be close to .correct, as ERA is required to report enplanements into the DOT's 298C
database. Therefore, the only way to accurately and economimlly complete the Airport Traffic Summary
is to survey area travel agents. These agents retain copies of the tickets they sell.
Element 2 expands on the travel agent ticket study, but is centered on retention/leakage rotes to
destinations beyond Anchorage. This is the first step necessary in order to determine whether the area
can support additional service to points beyond Anchorage. This is similar to the industry's traditional
leakage / retention study, but with a twist. We take the travel agent information and combine it with U.S.
DOT information to come up with a clear estimate of the "true" size of the Kenai market. While fare and
Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Post Office Box 5246- Eugene. OR 97405 (541) 341-1601
passenger information is not available on flights operated solely by ERA, anytime a passenger connects
through Anchorage to a larger aidine (like Alaska Airlines), the full ticket information is required to be
reported in the ODIA Survey by the larger aidine. This allows us to accurately determine the true size of
the Kenai travel market and decide if them are opportunities for service beyond Anchorage (i.e. seasonal
non-stop jet service to Seattle/Tacoma for example).
A major advantage to pursuing Element 2 in lieu of Element I is that Element 1 can be performed at the
same time for an additional $1,000 survey fee (to account for the additional tickets surveyed for 1999 and
2000.
Element 3 provides Kenai with an Air Service Development Master Plan. This plan will look extensively
at the Kenai market and all other markets in the region to determine what service deficiencies and
possibilities might exist. It also identifies goals and recommends strategy to accomplish these goals. It
will also detail what is not possible at Kenai at this time.
I have sent you a copy of our resume, which lists references as well as work completed to date.
Element #1 - Kenai/,Anchora.qe Fare Analy.sis:
In order to determine the actual airfare that travelers between Kenai and Anchorage have been charged
over the last three years, and the affects that changes in fares may have had on enplanements, Sixel
Consulting GroUp proposes to collect ticketing information from Kenai-Soldotna area travel agencies.
·
This information cannot be economically dedved from any other source. To this end, consultant shall
perform the following:
Task 1.1:
Consultant and/or staff member shall travel to Kenai for five days to compile ticket information
from area travel agents. While this information can, in some cases, be collected
elecb'onically, Sixel Consulting Group has determined through a phone survey of area agents
that half of the agencies who have agreed to participate in this study have manual back office
systems and are not automated. This means that a member of the SCG staff would gather
the data manually, directly from the travel agencies. SCG will sample a statistically
significant number of tickets from representative months throughout the three-year study
pefYod.
Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Post Office Box 5246 - Eugene. OR 97405 (541) 341-1601
Task 1.2:
Consultant shaft add this information to the Airport Traffic Summary in order to more
accurately determine the effect that fare changes may have had on enplanements.
Element #2 - Complete Ticket Lift Survey:
In order to calculate the underlying demand for air service from the residents of the Kenai Municipal
Airport Catchment Area, it is necessary to collect ticketing information from Kenai area travel agencies.
This information cannot be economically derived from any other source. To this end, consultant shall
perform the following:
Task 2.1:
Consultant shall determine the Airport Catchment Area (ACA) for Kenai Municipal Airport
using the nearest airport criteria.
Task 2.2:
Consultant shall contact ACA travel agencies by fax and telephone to explain the study (its
purpose and the intended use of the mate~al), to pre-qualify them and to gain their
participation in the survey before traveling to the area.
Task 2.3:
Consultant shall survey a statistically valid sample of airline tickets (between 3,000 and
4, 000) issued by travel agents in the Kenai Municipal Airport A CA.
Task 2. 4:
,,
Consultant shaft collect the following data from each qualifying ticket issued: o~igin,
connecting points, destination, originating airline, connecting airline(s), total fare, date of
issue, and dates of travel.
Task 2.5:
In conjunction with the travel agent data collection, consultant shaft analyze summarized
ticket information produced by the U.S. Department of Transportation via its ODIA 10%
Ticket IJft Survey in beyond markets where applicable. This survey is produced from all
Schedule T-100 carders operating in the U.S. Pertinent information to be collected by the
ODIA survey to be used in this part of the study includes passengers at Kenai Municipal
Airport by destination market.
Task 2.6:
Consultant shall summarize travel agency information and calculate the following for both
domestic and international passengers: passenger leakage rates from the Kenai Municipal
Sixel Consulting Group, inc. Post Office Box 5246 - Eugene. OR 97405 (541) 341-1601
Airport A CA, alternate airports used, carders used at alternate airports, range of airfares at
Kenai Municipal Airport and alternate airports and advanced purchase summaries.
Task 2.7:
In order to quantify the total number of Kenai Municipal Airport ACA passengers using
alternate airports, consultant shall use summarized travel agency information and combine
this information with ODIA survey in order to estimate the total numbers of passengers using
alternate airports, and the amount of local ACA revenue being spent on airline tickets at
alternate airports.
Task 2.8:
Though not part of this survey, from this information a number of useful bits of information
can be calculated, such as: the cost to travelers to use alternate airports (in terms of time and
value), the loss to the Kenai Municipal Airport in revenue (concessions, landing fees,
passenger facility charges, etc.).
Deliverable:
Consultant shaft provide the Kenai Municipal Airport five copies of the full color report of the
summarized findings.
Delivery Schedule:
Consultant shall present the completed analysis within 30 days of the contract signing.
E!eme,nt #3 - Air Service,, Development Master Plan'
The purpose of an Air Service Development Master Plan is to provide a yardstick for comparing an air
service market with other markets in the region as well as other markets served by the same air carders.
The Air Service Development Master Plan also provides perspective on the strength of the local air
service market and identifies service gaps and opportunities. The final result is a recommendation of
strategy and the next steps to be taken to enhance the air service available at the Kenai Municipal
Airport.
Task 3.1:
From Task 1.1 the Kenai Municipal Airport Catchment Area has been determined.
Consultant shall also identify Airport Catchment Areas for other airports in the region.
Task 3.2:
Using the DOT's ODIA information, consultant shall analyze additional information relevant
to Kenai Municipal Airport passenger numbers. Consultant shall also acquire this same
information for all other airports in the state, region and country. Items to be querfed include:
passengers by destination and carder, revenues by destination and carrier, average air fare,
Sixel Consulting Group, Inc. Post Office Box 5246 - Eugene, OR 97405 (541) 341-1601
average yield, average coupons used and average itinerary mileage, ~among other data
items.
Task 3.3:
Consultant shall acquire economic and demographic statistics from the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Bureau of the Census. Depending on the timing of the study, the relevant
review period will include actual Census 2000 information adjusted to Year 2002 or the
applicable time period. Data elements to be queried include: population, employment,
personal income, earnings, retail sales, manufacturing employment, automobile sales and
households with income in excess of $50,000. This information will be summarized for each
A CA in the region for comparative purposes.
Task 3.4:
Consultant shall combine the economic and demographic data with the OD IA data and
compare the results at Kenai Municipal Airport to other regional and similar-sized airports in
order to determine items of relevance to air service in the region. Among these comparative
measures will be: the service levels at Kenai Municipal Airport per person (i.e. number of
seats offered per capita) and passenger production at Kenai Municipal Airport per person.
Task 3.5:
Working with local economic development agencies, chambers of commerce and convention
and visitors bureaus, consultant shaft identify any other factors in the community that may
drive additional air travel.
Task 3.6:
Consultant shaft use the ticket lift survey information, the economic and demographic
information, the ODIA information, as well as local community information in order to
estimate potential airline traffic at Kena£ Consultant shaft use this information to identify
airlines and/or hubs that can serve the needs of the Kenai community.
Task 3.7:
Consultant shaft analyze all airlines operating in the region, as well as the service provided by
those airlines to airports in the region to determine if any possibilities exist to supplement the
existing air service provided to Kenai area residents.
Task 3.8:
Consultant shaft make recommendations concerning the necessary steps and course of
action to be undertaken by the Kenai Municipal Airport in order to market to and, if the market
exists, to ultimately acquire additional air service for the region.
Task 3.9:
Consultant shall travel to Kenai to present the findings of Element 1, Element 2 and Element
3 at the conclusion of the study per~od and with the coordination of all interested parties.
Sixel Consulting Group, inc. Post Office Box 5246- Eugene. OR 97405 (541) 341-1601
Deliverable:
Consultant shaft provide the Kenai Municipal Airport five copies of the full color report of the
summarized findings.
Delivery Schedule:
Consultant shall present the completed analysis within 30 days of the completion of the
Travel Agency Ticket Lift Survey.
Conclusions'
Every air service market is different. Accordingly, we tailor our work to the specific market and air service
development requirements of the region. I assure you that the information generated in these studies will
give the Kenai Municipal Airport the information and perspective needed to effectively address local air
service issues. We appreciate your interest and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO:-- Mayor Williams and Council Members
FROM: F_.. ~/~ Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: August 29, 2002
RE: Sales Tax Exemption Ordinance
Ordinance number 1970-2002 changes our sales tax exemptions to exclude an exemption on
nonprepared foods.
As you know, on October 1, 2002 the Borough voters will decide whether to exempt
nonprepared food from Borough sales tax. According to the Borough Attorney's office, if
passed, the ordinance would ordinarily be effective on October 8, 2002, unless there is a recount
or election challenge. Because of the difficulty in changing the collection of sales tax from the
Borough in a one-week period, the Borough is implementing the exemption on January 1, 2003.
Our sales tax code currently incorporates by reference all the Borough sales tax code. That
means if the proposition passes, as it stands now the City would have no sales tax on
nonprepared food as of January 1, 2003. The Borough Finance Department has eStimated
elimination of sales tax on nonprepared food would cost the city about one million dollars per
year.
Under our Charter, except for emergency ordinances or appropriations, ordinances are effective
one month after passage. That means that an ordinance introduced for the meeting of August 21
and passed on the next meeting of September 4 would be effective October 4. The ordinance
essentially keeps the current city exemptions in place no matter hoW the election comes out. If
the ballot proposition fails, nothing would change. If it passes, current exemptions would
continue. We would not adopt the Borough's nonprepared food exemption. As a home rule
municipality, Kenai may determine its own sales tax exemptions.
If the proposition passes, Council may want to examine whether to pass a similar exemption to
reflect what the voters in Kenai want. This ordinance will not preclude that~it will merely give
the Council time to decide on its own whether to adopt the exemption rather than having it done
automatically.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA SUPPORTING
AN AMENDMENT TO KPB 2.60 CLARIFYING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
AUTHORITY AND REVISING MEMBERSHIP ON THE E-911 BOARD.
WHEREAS, in 1985, pursuant to AS 29.35.130, the Kenai Peninsula Borough enacted
ordinance 84-75, authorizing the establishment of an emergency communications
(911) system outside of the cities in the borough and w/thin those cities that
relinquished their emergency communications (911) powers to the borough; and,
WHEREAS, that ordinance does not make it clear whether dispatch services are
assumed by the borough or the cities; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai and al/other home rule and first class cities relinquished
their emergency communications powers to the Borough; and,
WHEREAS, while currently all 911 calls are received by the Alaska State Trooper E-
911 office and manually routed to the applicable city dispatch center, new technology
allows for the automatic routing of 911 calls to the appropriate ..local dispatch center;
and,
WHEREAS, such automatic routing would shorten the time it takes to receive and
process a 911 call and in such emergencies a few seconds can be critical; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed ordinance would clarify that the borough is authorized to
automatically route 911 calls to the cities and retain dispatch service authority; and,
WHEREAS, due to concerns about the Open Meetings Act, the Office of Emergency
Management would prefer not to be represented on the board so that office personnel
may more easily communicate with the board members without holding a "public
meeting."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,

2.60 as described above and as indicated on the attached draft ordinance marked as

whether dispatch services are assumed by the borough or by the cities; and

WItEREAS, under new technology, it is possible for land-based incoming emergency calls to
be automatically routed through the Alaska State Trooper office directly to a citY

the central borough dispatch center and then forwarded to the city dispatch center,

Mark Shinn-- 403 Hailer Street -- I'd like to circulate these and have you guys look at
these pictures. I live at 403 Hailer Street, right next door. The fence is in really poor
condition, there's spruce posts, they're rotting off at the bottom and they're actually
leaning towards my yard and you can kind of see.
Goecke: Before you get going any further, would you sign in, state your name ....
Shinn: Do I got to put the public hearing number up here at the top or not?
Goecke: No.
Shinn: Yeah, I live at 403 Hailer. She's been running a business next door. I had no
idea it was that she was not legal until this hearing, I got this letter finally. But, we've
constantly had different dogs in the yard. Now that's her dog there that lives there
(refemng to the picture), that dog comes over and greets us at the fence but that's me
and my wife. Now, if I was to have a visitor over there that pulls into that driveway,
right off my front porch there, I've got barldng, constantly. You can see along the 403
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 2002
PAGE 2
Haller Street were the dog has worn a path for anybody that even takes a walk up the
street, the dog is at the fence constantly up and down, barking. You can see the trail
that the dog has worn there. As far what she's stating here in this form here about us
not complaining, we have complained to here and my wife called her once on a barking
dog and she goes 'well next time the f-ing dog starts barking we'll put it in the house'.
Goecke' Excuse me, we needed you to state your name prior to starting the testimony,
if you would, sir.
Shinn' My name is Mark Shinn I live at 403 Hailer Street.
Goecke: Ok. Thank you sir.
Shinn: But, I'm really womed about my property value. When I bought in that
neighborhood I bought, I feel I bought a piece of Hailer Street and I should have some
say about what goes on around there. I had no idea that that business was not legal
next door. But, you know, I'm constantly coming home and there's dogs that I don't
even know, I haven't even seen before and they're over at the fence barking at me soon
as I get out of my truck or if I have visitors over at my house. In that driveway they're
barking at me. Last week there was a puppy out there that was probably six weeks
old, no probably six months old, and he was constantly sitting there by the fence
whining with zero attention out there. The yard, since you guys nailed your sign up
out front there, she did mow the yard right after that sign went up and she's mowed it
just again, recently. You can see from the pictures usually it's in that condition. And
like I say, the fence is in very poor condition. I invite each and every one of you guys
to come over to 403 Haller and just take a look and see how close those dogs are to my
front door, Like I say, I'm trying to get my yard cleaned up, I painted my house, put a
new garage door on, built a new deck on the front of the house. I'm trying to increase
my property value I don't want it drug down. And my neighbor here Star, she had the
yard of the week probably 3 weeks ago, had a nice sign out front. She's trying to do
the same, and then to have a pet grooming business on the comer that's probably
going to grow in size in the next year or so, I just see it getting worse here, is all I'm
saying. My time up?
Glick: You've got another minute.
Shinn: Well like I say, we've complained to her, and alls we get back is f-ing dog f-ing
this we'll put it in the house and it's not happening. So, that's my statement, and like I
say, I'm living right there, I mean that fence is not that far from my house you can see
from the pictures and I've got dogs right there as soon as I pull my truck in, I've got
dogs right there barking at me. So, it's been tough to live with it.
Goecke' Anyone have any questions? Mr. Bryson.

Bryson: For the proposed activity to be compatible with you and what you feel is
appropriate, would you have any recommendations?
Shinn: I would like to have it where the dogs can't even see my house. I mean, like I
say, as it is I have people pull in my driveway who, that are coming to visit me and
we're out there talking and we got dogs barking in the background that I can't control.
It's very irritating. I don't know what you could do to control that.
Bryson: Her address is on 4th Avenue and you live on Haller
Shinn' 403
Bryson: Right. So she backs up you, or?
Shinn' Right. She backs up. Her yard backs up to a couple yards in the back, but
mostly up against my house. Like I say, when I pull in my driveway, the fence is fight
there. Soon as I get out of my truck I got dogs right here barking at me. The dog that
lives there is frae because he knows me the other dogs don't know me and they get
over there and they get going and then they all get going. And she has been having
them staying there like a day-care where they keep them a couple three or four days,
you know. And it seems like it's been a constant ever-changing thing. The other thing
I'd like to say is, we Ye got a lot of empty buildings in Kenai and I think we ought to
move the commercial business out into the commercial district instead of in the
residential.
Goecke: Ok. Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak to this item PZ02-437
Star McCloud -- 405 Hailer Street, Kenai -- I live right next to Shinn's. My husband
and I are opposed to this permit being approved, also. Our concern is our property
value going down. Because, to me there is no difference between a dog day-care and a
boarding kennel when she keeps them overnight and our homes are too close together
to have this on a residential neighborhood.
Goecke: Any questions of Mrs. McCloud? Ok.

business is solely conducted within the garage for the primary portion of my business.
I do provide some day-care only. The dogs stay by day, only. I did have one neighbor
dog that I allowed to stay for a few days because my neighbors where going on holiday.
In order to be agreeable and suitable to my neighbors, I can drop the day-care aspect
of my business. It is correct, the posts in my yard that hold the fence up, now it's
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING

more like the fence holds the posts up, but the fence is secure, it's not falling over.
There's grading under each one of the gates, there's chicken wire buried for three feet
from the fence line out so the escapage out my property is very well next to nothing.
My neighbors have a solid wood fence up to their driveway to the port of their
driveway. I would be agreeable to allowing them to plant a post if they want to extend
onto my property to entirely close off their driveway from view from my property. I
wouldn't be opposed to that at all.
My lawn was definitely in disrepair. I'm as embarrassed about that as anybody.
Unfortunately, there is not a Troy-built dealer who carries Troy-built cables in the
area. I'm having some financial difficulties myself and was not able to afford a new
mower, but did engage the neighbor boy to come over and start taking care of my yard.
My yard's pretty healthy and it grows very fast and in a two week period of time it was
looking unsightly again but, he was on holiday and I don't have a useful mower myself
and couldn't take care of it. The McClouds do have a beautiful yard. I'm glad that
somebody submitted them for the Garden of the Week because their garden is
beautiful. As was mine prior to when I moved from 1802 4th Avenue into a different
residence but do to a dissolution of a relationship, I'm back at 1802 4th Avenue.
Gardening is a passion of mine. My garden will come back as soon as I can get out
there and get after it but right now my priorities are making my mortgage payment
and my utility payments.
My business is wholly enclosed, otherwise, within my garage. My home has been
modified in order to suit this capability. I'm the only person that works there; I have
no intentions of hiring another employee. I operate my drop-off and pick-up times
around bus schedules. I encourage leashing but as even your own animal control
officer knows, and you know, it's un-enforceable. I mean, you do your best to enforce
it when you can. As a main course of event, my dogs are maintained within the
confined area or else under my control at all times. If you have any further questions I
would be happy to answer them, and I too would invite you to, if you would like to,
come out and view my facility. It's a clean, sanitary facility; 'I don't use any chemicals
with the exception of what you can buy in the grocery store. I clean with bleach,
vinegar and Listerine. All in all it's very safe, I've never had a loose dog, nobody has
ever gotten hurt or bitten or injured in my facility. That is my public testimony.
Thank you.
Goecke: Any questions for Ms. Henricksen? Mr. Osborne.
Osborne: Did I understand you to say that you were going to drop the day-care for the
dogs?
Henricksen: I~1 do that. You know, because that seems to be the primary concern
with the other dogs in the yard and bothering them and their guests at the fence line.
I can understand that. I mean, my fence is pretty close to their driveway. I know that
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 2002
PAGE 5
there is a foot on the other side of my fence because I did leave my fence a foot off of
my thing in order to clean up both sides of the fence and keep my fence line clear
because I detest grass in the fence. Now there are two fences there and it's kind of a
lost cause. Yeah, I'd be willing to disengage the day-care portion of the business.
Osborne' In other words when somebody drops their dog off and you take care of the
grooming and they come and pick it up...
Henricksen: Correct. Groomed dogs don't go outside at all, I don't even take them out
on a leash to potty. If they're going to potty they're going to potty in my garage. Too
big of risk of loss. I'd rather have them potty in my garage than risk losing a client
dog. Somebody who comes for daycare knows what the risks are, they are given the
opportunity to walk the yard, see whether or not they consider it safe for their dog and
that's the way that's done. But, I've only had one regular day-care dog there. Which is
a brown field spaniel, the pup that they speak of is my daughter's dog. High- energy
dog comes over to play with my high-energy big dog.
Goecke: Anybody else? Ok.
Sharron Shinn --403 Haller Street -- My name is Sharron Shinn I live at 403 Haller
next door to her. Like my husband was saying, my main concern is the value of the
property with a kennel. And that's, whatever she's calling this all it is is another word
for a dog kennel, is what it is. There was another gentleman by the name of Jay, he
runs Jay's Appliance, that I believe is on the parcel of 313 on there. He's just
cattycomer from her. He was going to be here because that was a same concern that
he had was the value of his property. But, he had an emergency, his mother had a
stroke and so he couldn't make it. I think that was it and all I really wanted to say.
I'm just concerned about the property. When we bought that house, we didn't realize
that we were going to have a dog kennel next door to us. The pick up and the cleanup
in that yard, in the whole time that I've seen her live there I have never once ever seen
her out there picking up any potty, so this picking up immediately after the dogs, I
don't know where that come from. But, you can see in the picture that fence is falling
down. It's leaning clear over in our yard. That's all I have to say.
Goecke' Any questions. Ok. Thank you.
Judith Stiedl-- 313 Rogers Road -- Hi, my name is Judith Stiedl I live at 313 Rogers
Road. Nancy grooms my Cocker Spaniel and also washes my Lab. As you hear, I
don't live next to Nancy, I live on 313 Rogers Road, I have a neighbor just like these
people claim Nancy does who, I go outside my door, even in my house, this dog barks.
Somebody drives by, somebody walks by, this dog barks. So this isn't just a one
incident situation in one neighborhood. Nancy has, as you heard, she has been
divorced and her fence, I'm sure if the neighbors would be willing to help her she, I'm
sure, would be more than will~g to help get her fence so that the posts aren't rotting
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 2002

and so that her yard does look much better. But, as you hear, Nancy has a hard time
w/th this. She's working as hard as she can, she supports herself. I bring my dog in
the morning, she grooms my dogs. The minute they are done I am called at my job to
come pick my dog up. My dogs are never taken out of her facility. Ever. I take them
in, I take them out. She does not kennel my dogs other than to wash them, dry them,
cut them, and bathe them. Then I am called to be there. Every time I've gone over
their dogs are dropped off. I f have never seen a dog running out, I have never seen
one being left in the kennel, they have all been picked up. She's not running a kennel,
it is a grooming thing and it is, we do pick ours up. I have had my dog groomed at
other kennels where I have dropped my dog off at 8 o'clock in the morning at a
groomers and my dog did not get picked up until 5:30-6'00 o'clock at night. That, I
consider a kennel. They're holding that dog all day. Nancy holds my dogs maybe
three hours at the most and I'm able to get my dogs, it makes it very nice for the
animals, they aren't cooped up all day in a kennel. And that's all I have to say.
Goecke: Any questions? Ok. Thank you. Anybody else wishing to speak to PZ02-437
Ok. Seeing none at this time I'm going to close the public hearing portion on this item
and bring it back, and ask staff if they have anything further.
Kebschull: Nothing additional.
Goecke' Ok. Thank you. At this point, any commissioner's .... Mr. Bryson.
Bryson' I would like to propose an amendment restricting the permitted use to
grooming of dogs only and not permitting day or night boarding of dogs at this facility.

engineering to encourage additional off-street parking. How many parking spots do
they feel are necessary, one additional? For a total of two.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
AUGUST 14, 2002
PAGE 7
Kebschull: There was a concern that, the plan shows there are four, room for four
vehicles and the engineer did not believe that that is accurate. The applicant's car
does take up one of those spots because the garage is used for the grooming. So,
there would probably at least need to be enough for another two vehicles on site. He
did not specify.
Bryson: I guess, given the nature of the business, even if the owner has two vehicles,
it would be an odd situation that would have more than one person dropping it there
for grooming, pickup or drop off. In either case probably not staying at the location.
Goecke: Ok, thank you. Any other commissioners have .... Ok. Mr. Bryson.
Bryson: Yes, concerning the fence. It's very, normal situation for an untreated log
fence. Which is somewhat of a different issue if there's no dogs in the yard itself,
which would be the case if this were approved.

Elizabeth Benson (Benson Planning

Waring presented the Commission with a draft Land Use-Plan for review.
following items were discussed:
The
Land Use:
Councilman Bannock voiced his concerns regarding the possible
misrepresentation of listed land suitable for Industrial or Commercial zoned
areas. Bannock stated most of land represented for the Commercial zone is
actually marshland and incompatible. Waring stated he would re-evaluate this
issue.
· Regarding the notion of establishing a city center, Waring stated
the area with the most traffic is Bridge Access Road and the Kenai Spur
Highway and could be a good location for city center and Millennium Square.
· Waring and the Commission discussed new development and
possible ways to encourage businesses to utilize existing buildings. The
following ideas were heard:
-- Charge a higher tax for vacant or dilapidated buildings to discourage
abandonment.
-- Bryson stated a reason existing property is not being improved is due
to the current expansion and until the price of property is higher, people-'will
continue to build new.
-- Developing a need for hotels outside of tourism (conventions, etc) could
'encourage property improvement. A study of the tourism and convention
industry should be completed to assess the business potential.
-- Waring suggested a 'carrots and sticks' philosophy involving incentives
towards building structures in the desired 'town center.'
--Commercial development that is highway oriented should be
aesthetically suitable.
Kenai Airport:
Waring stated the Airport Commission and Airport Manager would be reviewing
development policies for the Kenai Airport. Additionally, Waring will update the
noise exposure map as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
Residential Neighborhoods:
· The Commission discussed establishing landscaping standards
and how to enforce such standards. Waring noted, due to the nature of the
Kenai area being largely rural residential to suburban residential, there has
been no factual basis of the land value being reduced due to inconsistencies in
neighborhood landscaping.

Pat Porter--310 Rogers Road: Porter reported to the Commission of her concerns
regarding road-side sandwich board signs and addressed the following: · The signs are often in the State Right-of-way.
· As some businesses do not pick up the signs at the end of a workday,
some signs become permanent structures and are often left in disrepair.
Porter stated she feels the sign code should be reconsidered and would like to see
sandwich boards allowed only in the summer months, perhaps May 15-September 15.
Building Official Springer informed the Commission the city has the right to remove
abandoned sandwich boards in any state fight-of-way.

Public Hearing Fees- Discussion
Kebschull prOvided a brief background of a past effort to change public hearing fees
from $100.00 to $200.00; this request was rejected by City Council. Kebschull
informed the Commission that public hearing newspaper notifications average
approximately $130.00 to provide certified mailings and the general fund subsidizes
these costs. This cost does not include staff time. Kebschull proposed the
Commission consider either eliminating certified mail for notices (as very few
communities provide this), or to charge more for applications. Kebschull also
commented the cost for appeals is the same as for a public hearing and noted the
Commission may want to recommend a fee for filing an appeal.
Councilman Bannock stated he would be opposed to charging more as he feels the
right to appeal should be as affordable as is prudent.
The Commission approved by a general consensus to request Kebschull inform the
City Manager of the Commission's desire to eliminate certified mailing. The
Commission would look into the issue of fee changes in the future, if warr~ted.

Amendment to KMC 14.20.200 Accessory Structures - Discussion
Kebschull reported Title 14 changes made several.years ago were designed to include
setbacks, but this was not specifically stated in the Code. Therefore, administration
would like to make changes in the verbiage to ensure clarity for the public.
Kebschull stated the main concerns were regarding carports. Building Official
Springer stated changes in the carport section of the Code would make the section
more restrictive, but will hopefully eliminate any confusion regarding carports that are
really considered to be garages by way of adding an additional wall to a carport.
Kebschull stated she would like to schedule this for public hearing.

City of Kenai.

Substitute Ordinance No. 1963-2002 -- Amending KMC 12.20.030 to
Prohibit the Storage of Slash for More Than Sixty (60) Days on Property
Within the City of Kenai.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Porter MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1963-2002 as amended
w/th Substitute Ordinance 1963-2002 marked C 1-a and Councilman Moore
SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. It was noted the amended ordinance allows for 60
days in which slash could be stored on property within the city. Porter explained she
suggested the ordinance because she felt Kenai had come to the point where the
problem was an issue and an avenue for enforcement was needed. She added, the
storage of slash was a fire and safety issue and shouldn't be stored in neighborhoods
anymore.
Bookey stated he sympathized with Councilwoman Porter's direction, but would not
support the ordinance with either the 30 or 60 day period included. He added, if the
ordinance is enacted for citizens of the city to remove slash from their properties, he
would expect the city to do it as well and didn't know if the city could fiscally handle
the slash it current had stored. Bookey added, there are large tracts of property in
Kenai to be developed and in developing, clearing would take place. He did not want
~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 21, 2002
PAGE 3
to delay those types of projects. Bookey stated he believed this was a knee-jerk
reaction to recent problems with storing of slash and felt there could be other ways to
handle the problem.
Porter asked if a developer improving a large area, could acquire a conditional use
permit or a variance. City Attorney Graves stated the issue was outside the zoning
code, however there can always be some flexibility given by the city if it is shown
efforts are being made by the developer, etc. to come into compliance.
Swarner asked what would be done with the slash currently stored at the old dump
site and Fire Chief Walden reported it would be incinerated through the beetle-kill
clean-up efforts. Swamer stated she would not support the ordinance if the city
cannot comply with it.
Bannock asked if administration had other ideas and suggested the ordinance be
tabled and returned to administration for further review. Graves stated he would
review the ordinance and suggest alternate ideas that could make it more workable
and in memorandum form, i.e. expanding the 60-day time limit, limiting applications
to different zones with different rules in the rural residential zones, etc.
MOTION TO TABLE:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to table the ordinance and remand it back to
administration for further review.
Porter requested a time certain be included in the motion. Williams stated he would
not support the ordinance at this time. Moore asked the difference between slash and
standing beetle-k/!!ed trees. He stated he wanted the trees removed as they are a
hazard, just as the slash. It was also noted, the ordinance refers to cut trees and not
fallen trees (from wind, etc.) and as written, a fallen tree would not be affected by the
60-day limit for removal.
MOTION SECOND:
Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no objections.
ORDERED.
SO
Graves stated he would have a memorandum to include in the September 4 meeting
packet for council's further review.

MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1964-2002 and
Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Discussion followed in which Bookey expressed
concern the ordinance did not speak to non-profits alone and stated he would not
support the ordinance. He explained, he did not think it fair to pit one business
against another when allowing a business to operate for less than 30 days and not
have to meet all the same specifications, costs, etc. as a business that intends to
operate for more than thirty days. Bookey stated he could offer an amendment to
affect only non-profits as he believed that was the original intent.
Bannock stated his support of the ordinance and noted, non-profits were referred to in
the body of the ordinance. He added, the ordinance would clean up the current
ordinance. Bannock suggested passing the ordinance and then direct administration
to begin enforcing the rule, which would eliminate a small level of bureaucracy.
W/Il/ams suggested changing the number of days to 15 days and Jackman noted the
ordinance discussed thirty days per year. She added, she felt the 30 day time period
was adequate.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to amend Ordinance No. 1964-2002 to "...in
operation for less than fifteen (15) days per calendar year" and Councilman Bookey
SECONDED the motion.

· A presentation was made by Duane Bannock regarding bed tax. The

ordinance providing there shall be no exemption from city sales tax on non-prepared
food.

Slash Ordinance
During the last meeting, Council requested I examine the slash ordinance looking at longer time
frames, lot size and zones. Here is what we came up with.
The first draft of the ordinance distinguishes between two groups of zones. In One group (RU,
RS 1, RS2, TSH, CC and CG), slash is allowed for up to 120 days. In the second group (C, RR,
RS, IL, IH, R and ED), slash storage is limited to 120 days on lots of 40,000 square feet or less
and not prohibited on larger lots in those zones.
The idea is that the larger lots in some zones can accommodate slash storage, while the smaller
lots cannot. It is basically the same idea we used with the livestock ordinance. The City's site in
Section 36 that is used for slash storage is one of the sites where slash storage would be allowed
without a time limit. That was done not just to exempt the City from the roles but also to provide
a site where citizens could bring their slash when clearing their lots.
The second alternative is to simply change the original proposal to 120 days. The third is to not
allow slash storage on lots smaller than 40,000 square feet.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Local Improvement District--Toyon Way
On August 19, 2002, the City received the attached petition requesting an assessment district be
formed for the purpose of adding street lights, curbs, gutters, and paving to a portion of Toyon
Way. On August 21, 2002, the City Clerk informed the Council by memorandum that this
petition was received and forwarded to the City Manager. The Clerk also provided you with a
copy ofKMC 16.05 and 16.10 describing the general provisions and procedures involved in this
process. As you know, KMC 16.05.030 requires that the petition be signed by the owners of
fifty percent or more of the properties benefiting by the proposed improvement. There are
sixteen (16) properties involved, and eight (8) of the owners signed the petition.
The cost percentage proposed for this assessmem district is 25% of the LID project costs. This is
the same percentage designated in Resolution No. 92-26. However, Council may wish to
consider revising the percentage cost allocation. Council may also wish to further discuss the
allocation of Municipal Matching Grant Funds, since there are many more street improvement
project areas in the community than there is available grant money to fund them. Also attached
is the preliminary project cost estimate and the preliminary assessment roll based on the square
footage of each lot.
·
Financing of the project is proposed as follows:
Municipal Matching Grants Program (70%)
Property Owner's Assessments (25%)
General Fund Contribution (5%)
Total Estimated Costs
$ 88,200
31,500
6,300
$126,000
Actual project costs will be assessed after completion of the project. The administration agrees
with the scope of the improvements to include grading and backfill, drainage, paving, curbs,
gutters, street lighting, topsoil, seeding, and signage. Paving in this LID will result in reduced
road maintenance and dust control costs.
Also attached for your review is a memorandum from Keith Komelis, which contains
information for the required public hearing. If Council wishes to proceed further with the
proposed LID project, a resolution to set the public hearing date can be prepared and presented to
Council at the regular meeting of September 18th.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
A proposed Special Assessment project may be initiated by:
.
A petition from the property owners delivered to the City Clerk.
.
A resolution from the City Council.
Generally, the petition method is the most common. The petition must:
1. Contain a description of the desire improvements. Examples are:
road, paved road, water, sewer, curbs, light, h.~g, storm sewers, driveways, etc.
gravel
2. Define the area of the work to be done. This generally could be
accomplished by identifying streeta (such as- pave "X" Street from "Y" Street to "Z"
Road). If parts of the project will have different improvements than other parts (such
as sewer in only part of the project), then care mu~t be taken in explaining this.
.
Be signed by the owners of 50% or more of the benefited properties.
The petition should be in the following form:
Special Assessment Petition

Re: Review of Livestock Ordinance
The present livestock ordinance has, I believe, proven to be effective.
One case stands out as proof. It occurred in the summer of 2001.
An individual moved two horses into Thompson Park subdivision on
Primrose Road. Surrounding neighbors called my office to complain,
stating that they knew of the new livestock ordinance and they would like
the horses moved. They were also concerned over sanitation and
property values.
These two horses were not identified in my original survey of "grand
fathered livestock". The neighbors told me that they were recent arrivals.
Upon contact with the horse's owner, I explained the ordinance, stating
that I would give them thirty days to remove the horses. Thirty days is a
reasonable time to relocate. I also stated that after the deadline this
of'rice would have to issue a citation for everyday the violation occurred.
/he horses were move within a week of my warning.
Citizens inside a city such as Kenai, have an expectation that there are
ordinances on the books that protect their properties. It is this notion that
makes the present ordinance worth keeping.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
JOINT WORK SESSION
MARCH 15,2000
6:00 P.M.
KENAI COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Council present:
Commission present'
Staff present:
Bookey, Swarner, Frazer, Porter, Moore, Williams and
Bannock
Jackman, Gough, Bryson, Goecke, Nord, Glick and Erwin
Freas, Godek, La Shot, Ross, Graves, Cronkhite, Springer
and Kebschull
It was explained, the work session was requested by the Planning & Zoning
Commission and that Commissioner Goecke initiated the process to include a
livestock ordinance in the Kenai Mumcipal Code because he believed livestock, as
defined by the draft ordinance, didn't belong in the city limits because of odor, noise,
size, space available to house, etc. Goecke stated he was aware Animal Control
already attended to these matters, but was not sure the type of control they could offer
was what was needed. He suggested no livestock be allowed in the city limits on
owned or leased property of less than three acres.
Discussion continued and included the following points:
· Commissioner Nord believed the livestock ordinance was necessary and
that livestock should not be allowed on small lots. She suggested fowl be added to the
definition and the limit be one-acre Properties instead of three acres.
· Commissioner Jackman suggested the ordinance allow a temporary
permit process for 4-H, FFA projects, etc.
· Commissioner Gough stated his objection to the three-acre restriction
and suggested restrictions on livestock should be controlled by subdivision covenants.
He was aware current problems with livestock were handled by Animal Control, but, if
the ordinance went forward, the restriction should be for smaller lots.
· Commissioner Bryson explained the discussion originated when poultry
was addressed in a conditional use permit situation and then progressed to livestock.
He noted, the draft ordinance did not address poultry, but created a huge lot size
requirement. He noted areas of the city where zones were created to protect quasi-
rural lifestyles and that the three-acre requirement would impact the whole inhabited
city. He felt the lot size was excessive.
· Glick noted the Commission felt they should discuss the ordinance with
council prior to proceeding further and there was not a lot of agreement with the
commissioners.
· Animal Control Officer Godek stated he has had complaints on livestock
on both small and larger lots. He has a means to address and rectify noise, care and
keep, odor, etc. and suggested that if an ordinance was needed it would be to restrict
livestock from small lots and zero lot line properties. He added, deciding on what size
lot should be restricted was the problem and that a one-half acre lot would be
sufficient to accommodate a horse. He noted, most of the complaints on livestock
received had been from people living in larger subdivisions. He also noted, the main
complaints received were those regarding restraint, care and keep, etc. which the code
addressed. What he was unable to control was the irritation on neighbors.
· Red McCollum stated he thought the city was not ready for a livestock
ordinance and that a three-acre lot size was too restrictive as there was too much
vacant land in the area.
· Debbie Sonberg agreed with Bryson,
· Commissioner Erwin stated he agreed with McCollum and added, he was
not in favor of large animals being allowed in subdivisions with small lots and believed
the code already addressed livestock concerns.
Bryson reviewed lots sizes in four large subdivisions of the city and noted, the average
lot size overall was 11,200 square feet, which was well below the three-acre suggested
restriction. The difficulty of defining livestock versus domestic animals was noted as
well as the enforcement of covenants being the responsibility of individual subdivision
homeowner associations.
Council Comments included:
· Frazer believed a livestock ordinance should be put in place prior to
having problems and understood the people currently having livestock would be
grandfathered in.
· Porter agreed with Frazer and added, the three-acre restriction might be
too large, however, she was in favor of protecting the subdivisions that were most
congested.
· Williams noted that if an ordinance was developed, it would be more.
work for Animal Control and more cosily to the city. He also noted problems might
arise in deciding how many animals would be allowed on lots and suggested it might
be better to compromise on land size.
· Bookey stated he believed a livestock ordinance needed to be considered,
but the three-acre restriction was too large. He noted, the ordinance would impact a
lot of people who took good care of their animals and suggested the ordinance go
forw~d, and suggested a 30,000 to 35,000 square foot lot requirement. He also
requested the ordinance include chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ducks, geese, etc. and
suggested the definition should be for "farm" animals.
· Swarner questioned how permits would be administered for 4-H, FFA,
etc. projects -- whether the permits would be for a year; whether a permit would be
approved only ff children were involved with the animal; the size of the animals
allowed, etc.
· Bannock stated he believed the enforcement of the ordinance or rules for
enforcement of the ordinance should be addressed and suggested defining problems
and give the authority to Animal Control to address the problems.
* Frazer suggested other areas of the United States probably had livestock
ordinances in place and could be reviewed and incorporated into Kenai's cOde.
. Erwin suggested there be a lot size restriction to the lot size for larger
animals (3/4 acre) and a different lot size restriction for smaller animals (which would
take care of 4-H, FFA project concerns).
Williams summarized from the discussion that council wanted the issue to move
forward with a more defined ordinance (addressing the lot size requirements, the
definition of livestock, number of livestock allowed, etc.) and directed City Attorney
Graves to review livestock ordinances in communities with populations of 10,000 or
less, paying attention to the size of lots. It was also noted council desired more
representation of the community during the public hearing processes.
The work session ended at 7:02 p.m.

Substitute Ordinance No. 18-64-2000 {Amendments included:

MOTION:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to substitute Ordinance No. 1864-2000 with
Ordinance No. 1864-2000 marked "substitute." Councilman Frazer
SECONDED the motion.
Public Comment:
Phil Bryson, 1205 Third Avenue~ Kenai, Alaska- Bryson presented each
council member with a color-coded chart depicting the lots within the City of
Kenai that would be affected by the new livestock ordinance. Bryson explained
the chart and how each lot in the RR and RS zones would be affected depending
on lot size.
Bryson stated his personal opinion was that if the intent was to restrict the use
on the smaller lots and keep the impacts off the rural area, then the 20,000 sq.
ft. had a supportable basis. Bryson continued, he felt that any restriction
should be less than a 40,000 sq. ft. size. Bryson added, he did not read the
proposed ordinance, just certain aspects of it, but had concern when dealing
with the 4-H type projects and the conditional use requirement. Bryson agreed
the young individuals should be required to explain their project to the public
and their neighbors, but there was a significant fee attached to conditional uses
and that requirement might deter a young person from participating in 4-H type
projects.
Bryson stated that ff there were many non-dog type conflicts, the Planning and
Zoning Commission had not heard of them and he felt that they were of such a
nature that staff was able to deal with them just by talking with people. Bryson
tu added, he didn't personally feel the purpose of an animal control ordinance was
necessary.
Councilwoman Porter thanked Bryson for the time and effort he put into
developing the chart as well as his explanation. Porter indicated she would
pport the lot size of 1 ¥4 acre or 40,000-sq. ft., not the 20,000 sq. ft.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 2000
PAGE 3
No further public comment.
Councilman Bookey also thanked Bryson for his time and effort on the chart as
it was very enlightening as he understood that once a large lot was subdivided,
it would bring the lot size down to right around 40,000 sq. ft. Bookey
concluded that the lot size should be reduced to 40,000-sq. ft. and that the fee
for the 4-H type projects should be waived. Councilman Moore stated the City
Manager had the right to not impose a fee when handling applications for such
4-H type permits. City Attorney Graves clarified that the 4-H permit exception
was separate from the conditional use process as it went in front of the Chief
Animal Control Officer and the City Manager would be the person who would
set the fee.
Councilman Bannock also thanked Bryson for his efforts on the chart and
indicated that he was in favor of the conditional use permit system. Bannock
felt the idea behind the ordinance was good but would like to see Item (d)(3)
removed.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to amend the ordinance by deleting section (d)(3)
from the substitute ordinance. Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion.
Bannock explained that if the conditional use scenario presented itself, then it
was incumbent upon the applicant to come to the Planning and Zoning
Commission to explain their situation, present a site plan, etc. Bannock added,
otherwise it would take away from the integrity of having the smaller lot size.

MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Bookey MOVED to amend the ordinance by reducing the lot size
from 1-1/4 acre to 40,000-sq. ft. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the
motion.
Councilman Bookey reiterated that after reviewing the chart prepared by
Bryson, it made sense to reduce the lot size requirement to those under 40,000
sq. ft.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 2000

Mayor Williams reported he never really had been a fan of the ordinance but
with regard to the lot size he would much prefer to see the lot size restricted to
under 20,000-sq. ft. since that would still be more than three times the size of
the average lot size of 12,000 sq. ft. Mayor Williams added that he was
chagrined to see rabbits back on the list.
Councilwoman Swamer also expressed dismay with the rabbits being put back
on the list but without support of Council she was willing to give it a try.
Councilmen Moore reiterated the conditional use process if anyone wanted
rabbits.
CoUncilman Frazer reported he would not support the amendment to 40,000
sq. ft. Frazer stated the issue had gone through severe public hearings with
very little or no participation and he felt the ordinance should be passed w/th
the first amendment.

Discussion took place regarding offspring and again the conditional use process
was mentioned for those wanting to keep offspring.

in 1785, consisting of Volumes I, II, and III and an atlas, written by Captain
dames Cook and Captain dames King. The volumes had been appraised with
an estimated value of $18,000.00. City Attorney Graves pointed out the
valuation of the donation was really a matter between the IRS and the donor.
City Attorney added the city did not get involved and there was no liability.
Public Comment:
Kathy Tart, Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center- Ms. Tarr introduced Ricky '
Geese, the Manager of Exhibits and Education at the Center and pointed out
that Donald Mellish was in the audience. Ms. Tarr, on behalf of the Board of

were only a few museums in all of Alaska with the books. Mr. Geese shared in

Parks & Recreation Fee Increases
Pursuant to Council direction during FY04 budget discussions and in accordance with KMC
7.15.100, the attached Parks & Recreation fee increases are scheduled to become effective on
October 1, 2002. An exception to this effective date is the ice rink hourly fee, which will
become effective for the ice reservations booked upon ice availability in September.
We estimate these fee increases, not including ice rentals, will result in a 15% increase in
General Fund revenue for recreation or approximately $6,750. We estimate that the ice rental
fee increase will generate at least $7,000 over the revenue generated last fiscal year and probably
more, due to increased ice bookings and cancellation policy changes.

RE:
Vacate the 40-foot frontage road adjacent to the southwesterly boundary of Lots 7 &
8, as dedicated by Bridge Road Subdivision Number Two (Plat KN 84-68), within

NOTE: No portion of the frontage road lying within the section line easement, nor the section line

Purpose as stated in petition: Replat two lots into one lot; adequate right-of-way exists along the Beaver Loop
Road and Bridge access intersection. Section line easement and right-of-way along south boundary to remain in
order to provide access across to adjoiners.
Petitioners: Mark Lockwood of Kenai, Alaska
Public notice appeared in the August 15 and August 22, 2002 issues of the Peninsula Clarion.
Five (5) certified mailings were sent to owners of property within 300 feet of the parcels; four (4) of the receipts has
been returned.

Staff discussion
,,
The Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission commented on the proposed vacation when they reviewed the
preliminary plat on May 22, 2002. Although they recommended approval of the subdivision replat, they were
opposed to the vacation of the right-of-way/section line easement along the south boundary because it provides
access to adjacent parcels. Although it is required prior to submittal to the Borough of a preliminary plat for a
subdivision, the City Planning and Zoning Commission review of a vacation is not required prior to KPB review.
The City Council has 30 days after KPB approval in which they may veto the approval of a vacation. The Kenai
Planning & Zoning comments prior to submittal are optional, and the vacation submitted for Borough approval
reflects their concerns. The right-of-way/section line easement along the south boundary has been removed from
the vacation petition submitted to the Borough.
The Borough Plat Committee reviewed the subdivision plat on August 12, 2002, and granted preliminary approval.

No surrounding properties will be denied access.
Per the submittal, the right-of-way proposed for vacation is not in use for access.
Per the submittal, the right-of-way proposed for vacation has not been constructed.
All subdivision plats finalizing vacations are sent to utility companies for review and easement
requirements.
The right-of-way is located at the intersection of two major arterial roads.
Numerous large acreage privately owned parcels are located in the area of this intersection.
Municipal and State owned large acreage parcels are located in the area of this intersection.
Most parcels in this location are not yet developed.
The area is located near the dock facilities on the Kenai River.
A large amount of the development in the area to date is commercial.
Beaver Loop Road is the only through road connection between the Kenai Spur Highway and Bridge
Access Road.
There is a likely potential for increased traffic at this intersection in the future.

END OF STAFF REPORT
Vice Chairman Bryson opened the meeting for public comment.
Scott McLane, 38240 Kenai Spur Highway
Mr. McLane said he was representing the petitioner. Mr. McLane spoke in favor of the petition as
submitted. Kenai River Bridge Access Road has 100 feet of right-of-way from centerline with an additional
50 feet. The majority of the lots have 150 feet of right-of-way. The 40-foot frontage road was dedicated
during the replat of the lots. Presently, a lot line is being eliminated. One commercial business (storage
unit) is on the two lots. The owner did not believe the additional frontage road was necessary.
Within the last two years the Department of Transportation (DOT) improved the intersection and did not
need additional right-of-way during the improvement process. The frontage road was dedicated several
years ago and has never been constructed.
Mr. McLane offered to answer questions.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the frontage road extended to Van Antwerp Street. Mr. McLane
answered yes.
Commissioner Clark asked how the lots were currently accessed. Mr. McLane replied access to the
storage units was off Beaver Loop Road, which is a frontage road for the subject property.
Commissioner Hohl asked if the State maintained Bridge Access Road. Mr. McLane replied DOT
rehabilitated Bridge Access Road and improved the intersection of Beaver Loop Road and Bridge Access
Road. DOT reshaped the intersection to make it more perpendicular to Bridge Access Road. Both
Beaver Loop Road and Bridge Access Road are State maintained.
Commissioner Hohl asked if access was restricted. Mr. McLane replied that submittals and a lengthy
review process were required to apply for access to a State maintained road.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Vice Chairman Bryson closed the public hearing and opened
discussion among the Commission.
MOTION' Commissioner Johnson moved, seconded by Commissioner Troeger, to approve the vacation as
requested.
Commissioner Hutchinson supported the motion based on the section line easement on the southerly boundary
that would remain in place. If Bridge Access Road is redesigned, the section line would still exist for the adjoining
properties.
Commissioner Clark asked if any other part of the frontage road had been vacated. Mr. Best replied no.

that would remain in place. If Bridge Access Road is redesigned, the section line would still exist for the adjoining
properties.
Commissioner Clark asked if any other part of the frontage road had been vacated. Mr. Best replied no.
Commissioner Johnson did not support the motion. He thought staff cited significant findings that indicated the
subject road should probably not be vacated, such as:
10.
A large amount of the development in the area to date is commercial
Commissioner Johnson commented that commercial development tended to attract heavy traffic.
11.
Beaver Loop Road is the only through road connection between the Kenai Spur Highway and
Bridge Access Road.
Commissioner Johnson noted that this area had already had heavy traffic.
12.
13.
There is a likely potential for increased traffic at this intersection in the future.
Due to the location of the intersection on a curve in Bridge Access Road, combined with the
increased traffic potential, it is possible that a complete redesign of this intersection may be
required in the future.
Commissioner Johnson remarked that when public right-of-way is given up, it was difficult to get back.
Commissioner Clark did not support the proposed vacation. He noted the frontage road provided access for lots
to the northwest. These lots would probably not be granted access to Bridge Access Road. Obtaining access to
State highways is very difficult at this time. The lots to the northwest currently have two access points, if
approved, the proposed vacation would eliminate one access for these lots.
Commissioner Troeger supported the motion. He thought the existing right-of-way along Bridge Access Road was
more than adequate to serve the commercial development in this area. Right-of-way in this vicinity is 200 feet. An
additional 40 feet in this area is an excessive right-of-way width to provide access to two lots.
Commissioner Hohl asked if DOT had an opportunity to comment on the vacation. Ms. Toll replied that all plats
and vacations were sent to DOT. DOT did not submit comments for the subject vacation.
Commissioner Smith concurred with Commissioner Clark. Commissioner Smith noted he seriously considered
the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendations. He thought the City's recommendations should be
influential in the Commission's deliberations. Although the City Planning & Zoning Commission had no role in
commenting on vacations, he thought the proposed vacation was akin to a platting action, and the City should
definitely have a role in the process.
Vice Chairman Bryson recalled the City's comments were specific to the area in the section line easement. The
City did not oppose vacating the frontage portion that was a distance from the section line.
Commissioner Tauriainen initially shared staff's concerns about increased traffic and possible future redesign of
the intersection. However, the surveyor commented during the public hearing that the area has already been
rehabilitated. It did not appear to be a bad intersection. Commissioner Tauriainen supported the vacation.
Commissioner Hutchinson referred to the City of Kenai's recommendation. He noted they.did not object to
vacation of the frontage road. The Kenai City Council has the opportunity to override the Borough Commission's
decision. He believed the Commission should approve the vacation.
Vice Chairman Bryson noted that the subdivision had a triangular parcel. He noted the platting action for this
property might have dedicated the frontage road. The City of Kenai acquired.rights to the triangular parcel for
exploration for a drinking water well. The quality and quantity of the water will determine if the City go forward with
this project. The right-of-way for this parcel is proposed to be along Van Antwerp Street.
