KMC 14 .20 .154(a)(1) The application is in substantial compliance with the requirements of this chapter; Criteria Met: This application is in substantial compliance with the requirements of this chapter. The applicant has demonstrated the proposed use meets the requirements for Resolution PZ2019-44 Page 1 of 6 boundaries of the proposed extraction, back slopes, public safety, and the need for gravel within the City. 2. KMC 14.20 .154(a)(2) The boundaries of the proposed excavation at its greatest dimensions, including back slopes, are at least two hundred feet (200') from any road or public right-of-way and at least one hundred fifty feet (150') from other surrounding property lines, except that adjoining permitted surface extraction of natural resources sites are not required to maintain the above one hundred fifty feet ( 150') excavation between sites; Criteria Met: The applicant obtained a variance 2016 for the setback requirements. The gravel pit has been in operation for 40 years and the buffers were unintentionally breached prior to the City assuming zoning powers. The analysis for that variance discussed the western property line where the buffer had been breached borders another gravel pit (Twin Rivers Resources, Inc. operated by Foster Construction). Pursuant to KMC 14.20.154, gravel pit sites are not required to maintain setbacks between extraction sites. The excavation area can be located within this property line, but water run-off must be maintained on the subject parcel. 3 . KMC 14.20.154(a)(3) The buffer strips between the excavation site and roadways and property lines contain sufficient natural screening to obscure the entire excavation from sight of roadways and inhabited areas. If there is not sufficient natural screening, the site plan must provide for artificial screening; Criteria Met: The subject gravel pit is located off Beaver Loop Road and is not visible from the road to the casual observer. Staff observed property lines during a site visit in October 2019. Adjacent parcels with residences are owned by fam ily members of the applicant. The western boundary is another gravel pit. The northern boundary is an undeveloped parcel owned by the City of Kenai. The gravel pit is accessed by a secure gate. Fencing was fixed surrounding the gravel pit as a City requirement in 2016. 4. KMC 14.20 .154(a)(4) The surface extraction is outside of the one percent (1%) annual chance flood zone (one hundred ( 100) year floodplain), one-fifth percent (0.2%) annua l chance flood zone (five hundred (500) year floodplain), and high-hazard coastal areas; Criteria Met: City staff also confirmed the parcel is outside of the one percent ( 1 % ) annual chance flood zone (one hundred (100) year floodplain}, one-fifth percent (0.2%) annual chance flood zone (five hundred (500) year floodplain), and h igh-hazard coastal areas. A permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is not required. 5. KMC 14.20.154(a)(5) The site plan provides that back slopes be a minimum of a 2:1 slope, except for the contiguous working face; Criteria Met: The operator also mentioned the intent to continue meeting the 2:1 slope requirement for back slopes during a site visit with City staff. The current configuration met this requirement and it is shown on the site plan. 6. KMC 14.20 .154(a)(6) The site plan does not provide for excavation below the water table except where a reasonable method of drainage is available at the particular site or where the proposed future development plan provides for a lake on the site of the excavation; Resolution PZ2019-44 Page 2 of 6 Criteria Met: PZ05-35 (PZ03-32) amended the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for gravel extraction below the water table with PZ05-35 . As part of PZ05-35, Area 1 was identified as having been excavated to the north property line prior to the city's assumption of zoning powers and the adoption of the Kenai Municipal Code . It was further discussed that generally, non-conforming uses are not allowed to be enlarged or increased, pursuant to KMC 14.20.050. However, under the "diminishing asset doctrine" as adopted by the Alaska Supreme Court, excavation down into the water table would not be considered to enlarge or increase the non-conformity of the use . The applicant identified on the site plan that Area 1 would be reclaimed as a lake, thus this area complied with Kenai Municipal Code. As shown on the site plan dated June 21, 2005, Areas 2 and 3 were identified to be excavated below the water table and then back filled with dirt. The applicant has found there is not enough dirt on site to complete this reclamation and would like to use dirt obtained from a neighboring pit. The condition for the fill to not contain hazardous materials would remain . 7 . KMC 14 .20.154(a)(7) If the excavation is to be below the water table and the site is likely to endanger the public safety, the site plan shall provide for fencing of the work area; Criteria Met: The gravel pit is fenced on all sides and may only be accessed by a gate . 8. KMC 14.20 .154(a)(8) The proposed use of land after extraction is completed is feasible and realistic and is a use permitted in the zone in which the property is located; Criteria Met: The applicant intends to have a lake on the property and to reclaim the pits with fill materials and eventually gra ss plantings so they may be used for other purposes . The applicant is aware the zoning of the parcel is within the Rural Residential Zone of the City and would comply with uses outlined in the Zoning Code . 9 . KMC 14.20.154(a)(9) The extraction does not destroy the land for the purposes for which it is zoned; Criteria Met: The applicant is actively reclaiming the pit while extraction is occurring . 10 . KMC 14 .2 0 .154(a)(10) The need for the particular natural resource within the City of Kenai outweighs any detrimental effects the operation may have on su rrounding property owners; Criteria Met: The applicant will sell some of the gravel for road proje cts within the City of Kenai. There are very few surrounding prope1iy owners and the benefit of a local gravel source from this location outweighs potential detrimental effects. 11 . KMC 14.20 .154(a)(11) The applicant is the owner of the subject property. Criteria Met: The applicant is the owner of the subject property. 12 . KMC 14.2 0 .154(a)(12) Clearing limits shall be delineated on the site plan as well as clearly visible on site and shall be inspected by the City Planner or designee prior to the application being deemed complete.

Box 1290 Kenai, AK 99611 Representative: David Yragui P.O. Box 1290 Kenai, AK 99611 Requested Action: Amend Conditional Use Permit – Surface Extraction of Natural Resources Legal Description: Tract A-1, Beaver Loop Acres Addition No. 1 Property Address: 2369 Beaver Loop Road KPB Parcel No: 04912051 Lot Size: 2,286,900 square feet (52.5 acres) Existing Zoning: Rural Residential (RR) Current Land Use: Gravel Pit Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential GENERAL INFORMATION Application The applicant, Beaver Loop Sand & Gravel, LLC, has requested an amendment to Condition #7 of their Conditional Use Permit for Surface Extraction of Natural Resources granted by PZ2018- 09. Condition #7 states all fill materials must originally be from the same parcel. In order to facilitate reclamation of the gravel pit, the applicant would like to haul in dirt and gravel from other parcels along Beaver Loop Road. The initial permit was granted by PZ85-42. Extraction PZ2019-44 Staff Report Page 2 has been occurring on the parcel for 40 years and before the City had zoning power. Resolution PZ2018-09 transferred the permit to Beaver Loop Sand & Gravel, LLC from Mary J. Doyle. The permit has been amended previously through Resolutions PZ03-32 (modified permit to include storage), PZ05-35 (modified permit to allow extraction below the water table), and PZ16-39 (modified permit to account for a variance granted on setback requirements). City staff conducted a site visit of the property as part of the annual review of conditional use permits for surface extraction on October 8, 2019. Public Notice, Public Comment KMC 14.20.150(b) details application requirements for conditional use permits. City staff received a request in writing to amend the conditional use permit and discussed the request with the applicant. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.280, Public hearing and notifications, City staff published notice of the public hearing in the Peninsula Clarion, notification was sent to adjacent property owners within 300 feet, and notification was posted on the property. No public comments have been submitted to the City about the amendment request as of November 7, 2019. ANALYSIS Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150(h) Conditional use permits, Modification of final approval KMC 14.20.150(h) states an approved conditional use permit may upon application by the permittee be modified by the Planning and Zoning Condition to implement a different development plan conforming to the standards for its approval. The applicant has requested the condition limiting the source of fill materials be amended to allow for the use of off-site fill. This amendment will help facilitate reclamation of the gravel pit. The applicant discussed plans for reclamation of their gravel pit with the applicant during a site visit on October 8, 2019. The applicant would like to use fill materials from a gravel pit also along Beaver Loop Road as part of his reclamation plans. Other gravel pits along Beaver Loop Road have done this as part of their reclamation. Other gravel pits do not have the restriction in their permit that the fill must all come from the same site as the gravel pit. The intent of the original condition was to keep hazardous materials out of the gravel pit. The applicant will still be bound to that condition, but it is a reasonable request in line with the intent of the existing permit conditions that not all of the fill from the same site.

I n I I ' -. 1? Approved by: ./: 14· ~7.!l Field Note : National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards Total Suspended Solids (TSS) TSS is the measurement of solids suspended in water sample. Suspended solids are reta ined on a fi lter as water is passed through filter and filter is dried and wei ghed to determine TSS . MCL (Maximum Concentration Limit): No MCL has been established by EPA, but drinking water should not contain TSS above 5 mg/L. High TSS could increase the chance of bacteria being present . Conductivity pH Conductivity is the measure of ions in water sample. The conductivity of most potable waters in the United States ranges from 50 to 1500 µmhos/cm. MCL: No MCL has been established by EPA pH is the measure of hydrogen ion activity. The pH can indicate if the water is acidic or basic. Secondary MCL: 6.5 to 8.5 A pH above or below this range can indicate that the water may be corrosive to pipes and fi xtures. Total Alkalinity Alkalinity of water is its acid-neutralizing capacity {or buffering capac ity). MCL: No MCL has been established by EPA . Sulfates Sulfates is the measure of inorganic sulfates in water. Many sources may contribute to the sulfate level. Secondary MCL: 250 mg/L Sulfate levels above MCL may give water a salty or bitter taste and cause a laxative effect on individuals. Nitrates Iron Nitrates In water can occur naturally but can also be introduced from runoff from fertilizer use; leaching from septic tanks, sewage, and erosion of natural deposits. Primary MCL: _ 10 mg/L Nitrates levels above MCL in water may have potential health effects to infants below the age of six months who drink this water . Infant could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms Include shortness of breath and blue-baby syndrome. Secondary MCL: 0.3 mg/I,. lron levels above MCL in water may make water have a rusty eolor; sediment; metallic taste, or a redd ish or orange stain ing. -· Total Hardness Total Hardness is the measure of calcium and magnesium in water. The hi gher the concentration of calcium or magnesium, the higher the Total Hardness in water sample. MCL:_ No MCL has been established by EPA. Water with a Total Hardness above 160 mg/L Is considered very hard water. Very hard water will cause problems in hot water using appliances. A Total Hardness below 50 mg/L indicates soft water. Arsenic Arsenic is a semi-metal element in the periodic table . It is odorless and tasteless . EPA _has set the arsenic standard for drinking water at 10 parts per billlon to protect against the long-term chron ic exposure of arsenic. Results listed on the Vibra-Tech water analysis page are in parts per billion.
