NINILCHIK, ALASKA Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center's Board Room April 25, 2005 President Fred Braun called the Regular Meeting of the Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau to order at 5:45 p.m., April 25, 2005, in the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center's Board Room. Roll call was taken' Present: Ron Malston Lori Chase Fred Braun Robin West Marion Nelson David Edward-Smith Sharon Brower arrived 5:55p Absent: Jerry Dunn Robert Fulton Agenda: Motion: Malston moved to approve the agenda; Nelson seconded the motion. Vote' Unanimous Election of Officers: Motion: Nelson moved to maintain same slate of officers; Edwards-Smith seconded the motion. Discussion: Braun passed the gavel to Nelson; Braun thought after his years as President it was time to pass gavel to new president with the thought Madame Vice President would assume the role of President. Nelson said she was flattered but her job created a problem. Board members further discussed who on the Board could assume officer roles. Malston moved to postpone elections to next month's agenda; Nelson seconded the motion. Vote: Unanimous Minutes: Motion: Malston moved to approve the minutes; Nelson seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Vote: Unanimous Executive Session: Motion: Nelson moved to go into Executive Session at 6:03 p.m. for the purpose of discussing the Executive Director's six-month performance; Malston seconded the motion. Discussion: Braun asked Board to remain and the Executive Director to leave. Called back to order at 6:17 p.m. Board of Directors authorized a raise in salary for the Executive Director to $45,000 per year retro to March 15 (6 month anniversary). The Board gave the Executive Director an above average rating and vowed to check in with Executive Director more often. The Board would like to see more grants coming in, either through fundraising to double revenues. Board thought doing well attending meetings and presentations and would like a bullet recap of meetings attended. Nelson commented to push harder to get a committee instead of waiting for Board to jump in. ,Executive Director's report: The vessel on the lawn is being eyed for movement to Kenai Landing. It is the Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau's position that it is part of the City's collection. Braun asked the Executive Director to find funds to improve it and keep it from being a safety issue so it could remain on the lawn. People in the past have been interested in working on it but not sure who is still around. Delayed reimbursement of art purchases. Do we want to maintain commission or reimburse full amount? Based on the signed agreement between artist and KVCC, we should keep the full commission. SatUrday Market meeting was successful. Have heard concerns it competes with other private businesses. Position is to help provide a diversity of things to do in Kenai for residents and visitors to generate more business. Follow up with the city of Kenai's administration about forms and liabilities. Lake Clark National Park: The National Park Service closed their office in Kenai eight or nine years ago and said they were moving it back to Anchorage. Ranger and assistant based in Homer were on KBBI/KDDL's Coffee Table program stating they were basing in Homer. Sharon Brower called in and asked several good questions. Renken was asked to review old files from Lake Clark National Paqrk and to determine whether there were any past promises when the NPS office closed in Kenai. Renken will be with John Quinley, NPS Spokesperson and will discuss Lake Clark National Park with him. Financials: Fundraising for the art show is behind. Working on some big travel prizes for raffle. Inviting recipients of Rasmuson Art Acquisition to attend gala. Board requested that a nicely done poster soliciting new members at the individual rate be posted at the gala. Unfinished Business: Bed Tax: Board's letter was presented to the assembly. There haven't been any changes to the ordinance. Carrol Martin has made the suggestion that, if passed, it should wait until after Arctic Winter Games. The Board discussed community positions on bed tax and where money would be disbursed. Without any tourism organization receiving it than why would they or their members support the ordinance. New Business: 2006 Summer Exhibit: Braun stated the wildlife show brought artists from all over the U.S. The board discussed the length of the show, and whether is could be decreased. It was decided that the 2006 show should be one that will bring visitors and sponsorships. It is difficult to look 'at an art show subject and decide what will be successful. Intuitively everyone has an idea of what will draw people. If the wildlife show is replaced with a wildflower show, it should be expanded to wild scenery of Alaska. This year after opening night we will have a better idea of the show's financial situation. It is a fun event but if it takes away staff time and money, should we do it? Nelson stated it is a great PR event for the community and the facility. The Board decided to review it at next meeting. Board comments: Fred: Welcome Lori to the Board Lori: Nothing Marion: Welcome Lori, glad you just jumped right in there. Suggested the possibility of board joining to commit to donating an amount equal to $1,000. Robin: If we're going to hand out drink coupons and meeting & greeting the Board should have something to hand guests to promote the silent auction. Bob Devine from National Geographic will be stopping in Kenai on Memorial Day May 30th. David: If them is to be a summer exhibit like the idea of outdoor adventure since it could pull in additional potential sponsors. Ron: Nothing Fred: Prior to art show kick off would we like to meet? Was in the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and saw all the guides from the various communities; Kenai needs to get in there. Next board meeting: June 20th at 5:30 p.m. Adiournment: Adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Minutes prepared and submitted by Mya Renken, Executive Director.

Lewis stated, he had submitted a grant application for federal funding for continuing the effort in other areas of the city. Funds received would be used for signage, equipment and other materials and administrative needs. Lewis suggested the city could strengthen its ordinance and enforce it (keeping garbage and food stuffs cleaned up in order to not attract wildlife) and the council supporting the efforts.

There were no public comments. It was noted, the agreement was moved forward and discussion followed which involved both the ordinance and the agreement. A general discussion followed in which comments included: · Council Member Gilman stated his concern the city would be taking on the responsibility for making the improvements to the facility, including hiring subcontractors, etc. to do the work and the submit bills for reimbursement to the Host Society. · Council Member Ross stated, because it is a city facility, the City should hire the contractors. He added, the Borough received grant funding and the city would be a sub-grantee, paying for work being done and submitting bills to the Borough for reimbursement. · Council Member Buffer noted neither of the agreements had Attachment A included with the document; noted his concern the provision of non-waiver seemed one-sided and did not seem to have equal responsibility between the parties with respect to certain provisions; he was not sure the city would want to undertake an open-ended indemnity w/thout being equal in responsibility; and, if the city agrees to the scope of work and the funds have been advanced, a committee should not have to review the bills to be reimbursed if the work has been completed. He added, he liked the committee idea included in the substitute agreement, but would like the committee referred to in Paragraph 13 as a 'project steering committee' instead of 'construction' so that issues on the administrative side for costs, fees, and invoicing can be addressed, as well as the construction timeline. · Council Member Ross stated he didn't think the agreement was much different than other sub-grantee positions the city has been in and asked how the agreement functionally differed from other grantee agreements. City Attorney Graves stated it was not materially different from other grants received. He noted the list from Attachment A which was omitted and added, the list was formulated by city and AWG representatives. Graves added, no specific costs were included as it was not known what they would be other than an estimate: -- Installation of radiant heaters above bleachers, players' boxes, penalty boxes and scoring official's box. -- Purchase 'and installation of building sheet metal to extend south wall to ground. -- Construction of two new team..rooms and relocate existing team rooms. -- Installation/construction of more seating bleachers. -- Purchase and installation of security cameras. tCENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 18, 2005 PAGE 6 -- Purchase and installation of emergency lights and exit sign. -- Purchase and installation of fire alarm system. -- Purchase and installation of standpipe system. -- Purchase and installation of door/panic hardware. -- Purchase and installation of sound system barricade material and other miscellaneous material. Graves added, a provision was included in the agreement that if the cost exceeds $200,000, the city would not be obligated to finish the list of items and was one of the reasons for forming a steering/project committee to prioritize and coordinate the project. Moore asked what would happen if the money would be spent and all the improvements not made thereby not meeting the requirements of the Host Society. Graves noted, the city requested adding in Paragraph la, "...because the costs of the improvements listed on Attachment A are only estimates, the contractor cannot guarantee all the listed improvements can be completed for a total of $200,000. In that case, the contractor shall not be liable to expend its own funds to complete the listed improvements. If it appears one or more of the listed improvements will not be comPleted due to lack of funds, the contractor will consult with the Host Society to prioritize the improvements on the list or to arrange for additional funding." Gilman referred to Paragraph 11, relating to non-waiver and asked if it would be a big change to. add, the failure of the parties at any time .... so that it would be reciprocal. He also noted, Paragraph 15, the indemnification clause, the city would be responsible for the City of Kenai employees and agents but if the Host Society does something to cause damage, the city would not be responsible for their negligence. Graves stated that was his understanding and noted, the language in the agreement was fairly standard in federal and state grants.

MOTION: KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 18, 2005 PAGE 7 Council Member Ross MOVED for approval of the updated (provided at the beginning of the meeting} Arctic Winter Games Agreement and Council Member Moore SECONDED the motion. Discussion followed in which it was noted: · Paragraph 5(a)(ii) was referring to a Grant Agreement with the Host Society for $200,000. The grant agreement would be a separate document but should not be different than the updated Agreement being reviewed. If the agreement was presented with large differences, it would be brought back to council. · Attachment A will be included with the document. · Paragraph 11 would be changed to provide the suggestion made by Council Member Gilman. MOTION TO AMEND: Council Member Buffer MOVED, subject to the approval of the Host Society and the City, to revise Paragraph 13a to refer to a "Project Steering Committee that works together to develop and monitor issues related to the construction and administrative issues related to expenditures and collection of available funding and other applicable deadlines."

Ross stated he was not ready to make a decision without further research and information from administration and the donor. Mya Renken, Executive Director, Kenai Convention tk Visitors Center, 11471 Kenai Spur Highway~ Kenai-- Renken stated they were unable to dispute what Van Zee said re§ardin§ the condition of the boat. However, she hoped the discussion would initiate some action related to care of the boat; if it is restored, it would be displayed outside the Center; and, council needed to decide what would be in the best interest of the city and the city's assets.

The oldest building at the Landing, the net barn, will be used for the facility. They are searching for people interested in being board members. · They believe the K-6 boat was conveyed with conditions, including annual maintenance, through a letter from Nordstrom, Steele & Jefferson. Nordstrom, Steele & Jefferson received return correspondence from Fred Braun accepting the donation and the terms. A check for $10,000 was transmitted and portion of it was to be used for the boat's maintenance. · They do not feel the Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau fulfilled their commitment to maintain the boat. · They believe the display 'of the boat would be best at the Landing in the new museum where there would be a caretaker on site, the boat can be covered during the winter, etc. · Requested the K-6 be transferred to the AlaSka Fisheries Museum, Inc., whether a donation or long-term conditional loan. · When asked if they would provide a copy of the check used for the restoration of the boat, he noted they intend to use staff to do most of the restoration work. However, they could log the hours and set values on them, along with costs for material, etc., if required. They did not envision hiring someone specific to do the restoration work. Discussion followed in which City Attorney Graves explained the letters to which Van Zee referred had been written a year after the donation of the boat and were in regard to a subsequent donation.

The vessel belongs to the city and is part of a historical collection. To acquire funding for restoration, etc., funding sources require track The K-6 boat staying at the Center would be a better marketing tool for the city than if it were kept at the Landing, i.e. people going to the Landing may not necessarily come over to the city proper. Council discussion continued during which Swamer noted she disagreed the boat would be a better marketing tool ff kept at the Center; she believed the boat was donated to the city with the stipulation it be maintained; and, she would support the boat being moved to the Landing. Ross explained, his motion was to prepare a resolution in order for a public hearing to be held. Council Member Buffer stated he would not support the motion because he believed the city should do its part in maintaining the boat; he was concerned under what circumstances the city would loan assets to attract commerce; and, he believed the Center should have the first opportunity to restore and maintain the boat. Gilman stated he would not support the ordinance as he believed the. Center, by going through grants, could restore the vessel better and he believed, through the information provided by Graves, the boat was gifted to the city without conditions.

Acting City Manager Semmens referred to his memorandum (included in the packet) which presented an overview of actions taken by the Legislature on HB 161 related to the PERS Rehired Retiree Program. In his memorandum, Semmens noted, it was his recommendation the city continue with the program for several reasons: (1) the city relied on information provided by PERS that once in the program, the person would continue in the program until they quit work for the City (or five years in some cases); (2) even though health insurance would have to be paid for the employees, it would still be less expensive than if the same employees remm to work as active PERS members; (3) the program is only slated to run for another 1V~ years so any negative impacts of the program will be of short duration; and, (4) all of the affected people are supervisors with long tenure with the city and concern should be given to how the elimination of the program would affect them. Semmens also explained, PERS had requested an Attorney General opinion to answer the city's question of who has the option to choose to continue under the new program, i.e. the rehired employee or the employer. Semmens reviewed council's options as: (1) If they wish to continue with the program, the decision should be made at the June 15, 2005 meeting; and, (2) If they do not wish to continue the program, they should await until the Attorney General's opinion is available to be certain the option to terminate the program is available. Discussion followed in which the consensus of council was to await the Attorney General opinion, as their taking no action would not change the city's present stares, having no adverse effect. I-7o Discussion -- Dock Boat Exit Road/Land Trade with Conservation Fund. Public Works Manager Komelis reviewed the information included in the packet which gave a brief history of the project and based on previous council direction, the steps taken to date related to a possible land trade between the City and the Conservation Fund: * Appraisals completed. · The City trade a 93.13 acre parcel of wetlands appraised at $90,000. - Conservation Fund willing to trade 6.42 acres of upland property in the boat launch area appraised at $80,000 plus $10,000 in cash to equalize the value of the potential land trade. The memorandum asked council "...to review the information and determine whether it wishes to proceed with the land trade as described in order to obtain the property required for the boat launch exit road and additional parking." KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 15, 2005 PAGE 10 Komelis explained, in addition to the land trade for the exit road, the Conservation Fund is also interested in purchasing additional parcels for their appraised values of $557,000. He noted, the Fund's offer to purchase would be open until August, 2005. Discussion followed in which Komelis was asked if the city would have any use for the wetlands. Komelis stated, because the wetlands cannot be filled in or built on without a Corps of Engineers permit and most of the properties cannot be accessed without a boat, he personally did not think there would be much .use for the properties, excepting Parcel 3. Ross suggested there could be value in holding onto the properties for using for a trade for another project. Consensus of council was for the issue to be forwarded to the Planning & Zoning and Harbor Commissions for recommendation. It was also requested the property owners along Angler Drive be notified of the discussion to take place at the meetings related to the possible trade. Discussion -- Advertising/Purchase -- Alaska: North to the Future, Volume IH.

EXECUTIVE SESSION- None Scheduled ITEM N: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:58 p.m. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk KENAI. ALASKA 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Telephone: 907-283-7535 / FAX' 907-283-3014 MEMO To: Mayor Porter and City Councilors From' Linda L. Snow, City Manager L,.~~' Date: May 26, 2005 The admimstration has met and talked with Peter Micciche of ConocoPhillips Alaska on several occasions regarding the concept described in the attached proposal. While we have worked together with Mr. Micciche on details of the concept, such as municipal sign code requirements, the facility itself, and the City's agreement with the Hockey Booster Club, we have always been clear that any decision regarding naming rights to the multi-purpose facility is strictly within the purview of the Kenai City Council. In conjunction with the ConocoPhillips proposal, Council may wish to consider the larger question of whether it wants to lease and/or sell naming rights to the multi-purpose facility at all. Secondly, if Council does wish to lease and/or sell the naming fights, then what is the best price and/or length of time for the lease? And, third, if there is Council interest in leasing and/or selling the rights, there may be benefit to publicly seeking proposals. No other official proposals of this type have been received by the administration, and we appreciate the interest and support demonstrated by ConocoPhillips for the community and for the Multi-Purpose Center, in particular. We will be happy to move forward with this matter as directed by the Council. ConocoPhillips 24, 2005 From' Kenai City Council Peter A. Micciche ConocoPhi!lips Alaska CPAI Kenai Ice Rink Naming Proposal 'n the interest of celebrating nearly 40 years of ConocoPhillips Alaska's relationship with the City of Kenai, on behalf of ConocoPhillips Alaska I would like to propose the following- i. ConocoPhillips proposes to purchase and install signage item numbers 3, 4, and 5 below, with assistance as may be needed from the Booster Club and the City of Kenai. ConocoPhillips proposes to purchase these naming rights from the City of Kenai at the price of $5,000/per year for three (3) years. 2. ConocoPhillips proposes the signs read ..... "ConocoPhillips Alaska / City of Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility" 3. ConocoPhillips proposes the placement of an inside sign on the spectator facing wall ceiling. 4. ConocoPhillips proposes the placement of a lit building sign facing the front of the building (toward KCHS). 5. ConocoPhillips proposes placing a larger, lit grounds sign outside the DOTPF right-of-way facing the Spur Highway. Signage constructed or erected as part of the naming of the facility will meet the city's sign code. CPAI will obtain a sign permit (KMC 14.20.220) from Marilyn Kebschull in the City of Kenai's planning department once the locations and sizes of the various signage has been determined. Ms. Kebschull's will be contacted at 283-8235, in the event CPAI has any questions about the sign permit process. CPAI has met with the BoOster Club president and spoken to the Booster Club advertisement coordinator and secured space at the facility. The Club has agreed to ConocoPhillips' proposal to purchase a center ice logo and a space on the Zamboni from the booster club as provided for in the club's agreement with the City (at Booster Club prices with 50% of the funds going to the Booster Club and 50% going to the City of Kenai). An additional $5,000.00, outside of the naming agreement has been made available for this purpose. During the agreed upon period of three years, 'he name of ~he facility will not be shared with other potential sponsors. All printed material, programs, advertising and promotional material will refer to the Facility as the "ConocoPhillips Alaska / City of Kenai Multipurpose Facility". Conocophillips Alaska will be given the first right of refusal for additional sponsorship at 5he end of the specified period, to either continue at the current rate if there are no additional offers of sponsorship, or by matching offers presented by other entities. I have discussed this arrangement with administration of the City of Kenai in order to present the offer appropriately in regard to both ConocoPhillips and City of Kenai policies and procedures. This letter of proposal, as well as samples of facility signs will be presented for use in city council packets as a discussion · 5em to be placed on the next regular council meeting agenda. I look forward to discussing the proposal with the Council. As the primary policy makers for the City of Kenai, please feel free to contact me wi th any questions, suggestions, requested revisions or concerns. Thank you, Peter A.

If you have any questions or need further explanation, please contact me at 283-8231. Thank you. ORDINANCE NO. 2108-2005 ,, EXPLANATION OF AMENDMENTS , , Code Section 1: KMC 6.05.040, Precinct Board Section 2: KMC 6.05.050, Compensation of election personnel. Chan[[e Additional election judges and codifying description of who is not eligible to be appointed an election judge. Section3: KMC 6.05.070, City Clerk to supervise City elections. Section 4: KMC 6.05.080, City Clerk to prepare and furnish ballots. Section 5: KMC 6.05.120, Establishment of Canvassing Board and procedures. Codifies hourly rates to be comparable to state election compensation and defines what may be included in election costs. Adds better definition. Indicates use of tally sheets (when required) and identifies more than one chair and board. Allows for appointment of canvass board members to be more than the number of precincts; allows for more time for the canvassing of ballots; codifies responsibilities of the board; and, extends the period for receipt of voted by-mail absentee ballots. Expiation Due to increases of voters participating depending on questions included on ballots, the amount of time involved in assisting voters voting questioned ballots, etc., and offers codified .direction as to duties and eligibility. Codifies direction related to compensation and definition of election costs. Codifies better direction. Tally sheets may not always be required due to use of technological changes. a) Due to a large increase of absentee-in-person, personal needs, absentee- by-mail voters, and questioned ballots voters, and the requirement of the Canvass Board to review and verify elifflbility of each, the responsibility requires more than three people (representing the chairs of three precincts). b) Allows the Board to continue their work through the following day to complete their work. c) Codifies direction of the Board's responsibility. Section 6: KMC 6.05.170 Removes 6.05.170. Increases the recount deposit. Section 7: 6.05.220, Recount of votes; application. Section 8: KMC 6.05.335, Absentee voting-- by facsimile transmission. Adds a section to allow voting by facsimile transmission. d) Allows additional time for receipt of ballots (the Monday is often a federal holiday and therefore no mail delivery). Canvassing of absentee ballots has been done by the Canvassing Board for many years. This section conflicts with K. MC 6.05.120. Increase would better cover some of the expense involved if a recount is requested. Currently voters may request ballots from the City and Borough on a "one-stop" application.

Statements of non-objection Alaska Communications Systems Coastal Management Program Statement of objection No statements of objection have been received. Staff discussion The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and approved the proposed vacation on May 25, 2005. The surveyor submitted an application and drawing that did not extend the easement vacation to the Kenai Spur Highway. There are two affected lots in the extended area. They are owned by one of the original petitioners. The original proposal would have left a short portion of the easement that would not have provided any needed access. Staff recommends including the extension of the easement through Lots 3 and 4. The change is minimal, lying adjacent to the proposed dedication, and not being the portion that accesses the bluff. State DNR has the final say in section line easement vacations. Staff recommends the surveyor verify that the proper description has been provided on the application to the State DNR. KPB 20.28.120 requires a final plat be submitted within one year of approval. Staff recommends the Planning Commission revise this requirement for this vacation to a two-year final plat submittal requirement.

The reason for my appeal is because I feel there is potential for the water supply to be compromised either through turbidity or disruption of flow through the aquifer. Because the addendum as passed will allow removing the natural filtration and replacing it with overburden which could potentially harm my or any of the Beaver Loop residential wells. For scheduling purposes, I will be out of town from July 26 and returning August 3, 2005. Thank you for your consideration. James A.

I enjoyed visiting with you and learning more about the City of Kenai. You have an excellent product and we believe an excellent opportunity to distinguish the City of Kenai within the Peninsula. We, of course, would like to help you do this and motivate visitors to "turn right" toward your community. Enclosed you will find additional copies of our case-studies and a proposal for a Kenai BrandPrint. As you know from our presentation, we provide complete, research-based branding solutions specifically for communities. This is the only reason we are in business. As a result, we have provided more complete branding solutions to communities than any other company in the United States. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the proposal. Also, we would be happy to present via a web format to a gathering of interested parties if you believe that would be of assistance to you. This worked well in Seward.

Understanding: Where the Brand has Been and Why This stage addresses the current brand positioning of the community. We invite vital organizations and leaders to share their perceptions to help coordinate activities to market the community as a whole.

Insights' Where the Brand Should Be The goals for the community may involve a number of elements: gross receipts, population, higher education matriculation, overnight guests, and bed-tax collected. Branding influences these goals by influencing expectations and affecting attitudes, thus affecting behavior and usage. The most successful brands establish an emotional - not simply an intellectual - connection. Our insights come from' asking a number of thought-provoking questions. What emotional attachments can the brand hold? How does the brand fit into his or her lifestyle? It is from these insights that we determine the overall positioning of the brand. · Situation Brief · Blue Sky Meeting · Branding Brief Note: Here, we conduct a midpoint meeting to present all o£ the research £iadiags as well as our recommended brand positioning based on those findings and request approval be[ore proceeding. 3. Imagination. What Will Get us There In this stage, we consider elements of communication that need to be created (or changed) to influence responses and behavior toward the brand. A number of brand-shaping issues often must be confronted: overall positioning, synergy within the community, packaging, budget allocation, stakeholder participation, sponsorship association, co-operative efforts and, of course, advertising and promotion. Business-building ideas are generated. Positioning lines and logos are created and tested. Foundation creative is developed.

Evaluation' How the Brand is Performing Evaluation yields new infonT~ation which may lead to the beginning of a new planning cycle. Information may be gathered from concept pre-testing, campaign impact in the marketplace and tracking studies to measure a brand's performance over thne. Ideally, two basic questions will be 'answered: have responses to the brand among target audiences changed in the way the Cotnmunity BrandPrintTM intended? And have these changes resulted in action that will achieve the desired objectives of the brand?

ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS PZ05-40 - Preliminary plat for Justa Subdivision. Submitted by Integrity Surveys, 8195 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai, Alaska. City Planner Kebschull explained the following: · The plat would subdivide the existing parcel into two smaller lots of 1.705 acres each. · The property is zoned Suburban Residential. · The resulting lots would meet the lot size requirements for the zone (minimum of 7,200 feet). · A majority of both parcels are within a designated flood hazard area according to the Borough. · Lot 1 would be accessed from Candlelight Drive. · Lot 2 would have to be accessed from the Kenai Spur Highway and approval will need to be acquired from the Department of Transportation for that purpose. · Water and sewer is available for Lot 1. · Water and sewer for Lot 2 must be able to support on-site sewer and water meeting Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) requirements. · The City Engineer found enough area on the lots will be available for development. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of PZ05-40 with the incorporation of staff comments. Commissioner Eldridge SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Commissioner Amen noted, because of the amount of wetlands as part of the lots and a small amount of area for developing, he asked if there was a potential for setback variances to be requested. Kebschull stated, there should be sufficient depth and width on the developable area of the lot to meet the setback requirements. She added, the city's mare concern was the on-site water/sewer service on the one lot. Kebschull also noted, the original parcel was purchased from the Borough land sale and the Borough had not subdivided because they felt it was not developable. She added, Lot 1 could have two front setbacks, depending on how a building is situated on the property. Lot 2 would require access from the highway. Commissioner Bryson asked if the need for ADEC approval of water/sewer service to Lot 2 needed to be included as part of the Commission's recommendation. Kebschull reported, the requirement was already a note entered on the plat. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 22, 2005 PAGE 2 VOTE: [ Bryson tAr hen Yes Twait Yes Yes Barrett Yes Yes Eldrid§e Glick Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 4-b. PZ05-41 - Preliminary plat for Rodland Subdivision. Submitted by Integrity Surveys, 8195 Kenai Spur Highway, Kens_/, Alaska. Kebschull noted the following: · The request is a simple plat removing the lot line between Lots 27 and 28 to create the resulting 2.248-acre parcel. · The properties were purchased from the city and the owner's intent as to build a garage. The owner learned a garage is considered an accessory structure and the lot line would need to be removed. · Staff had no objections to the request. Bryson noted, on the one side of Lot 1, the fight-of-way for the highway is shown on both sides of the highway, however on the plat, no right-of-way is indicated on the north side of the highway. Kebschull explained, they have found the fight-of-way is indicated only when a plat is actually platted with regard to old government lots along the Spur Highway. She added, some of the government lots cross the highway and in this situation, Lots 25 and 26 are both developed lots and it was not known why the right-of-way was not indicated. Kebschull continued, when the Spur Highway was last upgraded, a State easement was identified. MOTION: Commissioner Amen MOVED for approval of PZ05-41 and Commissioner Eldridge SECONDED the motion.

A recent (Saturday/Sunday) news story said that the purpose of the commission was to study the causes of economic hardships in rural communities (true)and develop proposals to help them form local governments (boroughs) - (not so true). We believe the intent of this commission was to look at failing communities and produCe solutions that the 5tare and communities can practice that might result in more sustainable and healthy communities throughout the state.

APPLICANT' City of Kenai, 210 Fidalgo Ave., Suite 200, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 LO. CATION: NEb NEb NW~ Section 9, T. 5 N., R. 11 W., Seward Meridian; latitude 60.5449° N., longitude 151.2216° W. WORK: Dredge 780 cubic yards (cy)'of silt and gravel from a 9,100 square foot area below Mean High Water (MHW), and discharge 175 cy of concrete planks, 340 cy of type II gravel, 60 cy of 1"-3" river rock, and 8.6 cy of timber in a 9,2'00 square foot area below High Tide Line (HTL) for the construction of two 16' x 226' concrete boat launch ramps in the Kenai River; construct a 8' x 220' wood-framed floating dock secured by six 12" diameter galvanized steel piles, each 34' apart. The project would result in two new 16' x 226' boat launch ramps and an 8' x 220' floating dock, a total of four launch lanes and two floating docks at the City of Kenai public boat launch facility. PURPOSE' To expand boat launching capability at the existing City of Kenai Public Boating Facility to improve recreational access to the Kenai River. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Each proposed boat launch ramp would be constructed of 16' x 23" x 8" concrete planks over 12" of gravel fill, 8" of smooth river rock (1"-3" diameter), geotextile separation fabric and timber sills. The dredged material would be temporarily stored at an on-site upland location, and permanently disposed of at an off-site upland location to be determined by the selected contractor' Ail work below HTL and MHW would be undertaken only at low tide, when the area is de-watered. The types of equipment used for the construction would range from small machinery, such as Bobcats, to large excavators arid-dozers. .Loaders and end dump trucks would be used to load and haul material. Additional work proposed at the City of Kenai Public Boating Facility would include paving 14,600 sq. ft. of the current gravel parking and pullout area with asphalt, and 1,600 sq. ft. with concrete pavers. MITIGATION: No specific mitigation measures to reduce 'impacts to the aquatic environment have been proposed by the applicant. WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: A permit for the described work will not be issued until a certification or waiver of certification as required under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217), has been received from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT CERTIFICATION: Section 307(c)(3) of the Coastal Zone, Management Act of 1972, as amended by 16 U.S.C. 1456(c) (3), requires the applicant to certify that the described activity affecting land or water uses in the Coastal Zone complies with the Alaska Coastal Management Program. A permit will not be issued until the Office of Project Management and Permitting, Department.of Natural Resources has concurred with the applicant's certification. PUBLIC HEARING: Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, reasons for holding a public hearing. CULTURAL RESOURCES: The latest published version of the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) has been consulted for the presence or absence of historic properties, including those listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. There are no listed or eligible properties in the vicinity of the worksite. A single property, designated KEN-00217, was identified approximately 0.5 mile north. However, this property is outside of the project area. No further action is required. Consultation of the AHRS constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer at this time, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. This application is being coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Any comments SHPO may have concerning presently unknown archeological or historic data that may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit will be considered in our final assessment of the described work. ENDANGERED SPECIES: The project area is not within the known or historic range of any listed threatened or endangered species, or any species currently proposed for listing. The project area is not in designated critical habitat for any threatened or endangered species, or any proposed critical habitat. Consequently, we have preliminarily determined that the described activity would not affect threatened or endangered species, or their designated critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (87 Stat. '844). This application is being coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Any comments they may have concerning endangered or threatened wildlife or plants or their critical habitat Will be considered in our final assessment of the described work. ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT: The proposed work is being evaluated for possible effects to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) pursuant to the Magnuson S~evens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (MSFCMA), 16 U.S.C. et seq and associated federal regulations found at 50 CFR 600 Subpart K. The Alaska District .includes areas of EFH as Fishery Management Plans. We have reviewed the January 20, 1999, North Pacific Fishery Management Council's Environmental Assessment to locate EFH area as identified by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The project would occur in and adjacent to EFH for the following species: Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) , Sculpin (Cottidae ssp. ) , walleye pollock (Theragra calcogramma) 2 (juvenile and adult), Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), sockeye salmon (O. nerka), piDk sa%mon (O. gorbuscha), and chum salmon (0. keta). We have preliminarily determined that the described activity within the proposed area would not adversely affect EFH, including anadromous fish and federally managed fishery resources. SPECIAL AREA DESIGNATION: None. EVALUATION: The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts, which the proposed activity may have on the public interest, requires a careful. weighing of all the factors that become relevant in each particular case. The benefits, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision, whether to authorize a proposal, and if so, the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors, which may be relevant to the proposal, must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural.values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving 404 discharges, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b) (1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria (see Sections 320.2 and 320.3), a permit will be granted Unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from'the public; Federal, State, and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Comments on the described work, with the reference number, should reach this office no later than the expiration date of this Public Notice to become part of the record and be considered in the decision. Please contact Ms. Robin Leighty at (907) 283-3519 if further information is desired concerning this notice. AUTHORITY: This permit will be issued or denied under the following authorities: (X) Perform work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States - Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). (X) Discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States - Section 404 Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
