MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: March 2, 2020
SUBJECT: Action/Approval – Schilling Rentals, LLC Lease Application for Lot 5A,
Block 1, FBO Subdivision
_____________________________________________________________________
On February 13, 2020, Schilling Rentals, LLC (Schilling Rentals), submitted an application to the
City for a Lease of Airport Reserve Lands for the property described as Lot 5A, Block 1, FBO
Subdivision 2018 Replat. The property is located at 413 N. Willow Street, Kenai, AK 99611, and
the Kenai Peninsula Borough parcel number is 04336049. The application requests a term of 45
years, with an investment amount of approximately 1.2 million dollars. Pursuant to the term table
in Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 21.10.080 (b), the City and the applicant are in agreement to a
term of 45 years. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.075 – Leasing and Acquisition of
Airport Reserve Lands, Competing Applications, the City posted notice of the lease application
and has not received a competing lease application for the parcel.
The applicant states that the use of the premises will be a hangar for rotor and fixed wing aircraft
with crew quarters. After the construction of the hangar is completed, it is expected that Guardian
Flight, LLC will operate on the premises. Guardian Flight provides emergency medical flights.
Schilling Rentals, LLC is current on rent payments and obligations to the City.
The parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone per Kenai Municipal Code (KMC)
14.20.065. The intent of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a
significant resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards
that may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. The proposed use by
Schilling Rentals is a permitted use in the ALI Zone and is a compatible land use. The availability
of emergency medical flights will be an asset to public health and safety.

Action/Approval – Schilling Rentals, LLC Lease Application for Lot 5A, Block 1, FBO Subdivision
The proposed use by Schilling Rentals complies with the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030
Comprehensive Plan. It supports Goal 5-Transportation, which has a vision for Kenai Municipal
Airport as a gateway to the Kenai Peninsula and West Cook Inlet.
Does the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the City approve a lease
application from Schilling Rentals, LLC for Lot 5A, Block 1, FBO Subdivision Replat for the
use of medical flight fixed-base operator for a term of 45 years? The Kenai City Council will
be notified of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision as part of their evaluation of the
lease application. The Planning and Zoning Commission makes their decision on lease
applications based on the proposed development’s compliance with City’s Comprehensive Plan
and the Zoning Code. The Airport Commission will also review the application and provide a
recommendation to City Council.
Thank you for your consideration.

2. Discussion- Ordinance No. 3106-2020 - Amending Title 11 - Harbor and Harbor
Facilities, to Remove Provisions that are No Longer Historically Relevant,
Recognize Changes to Other Chapters of City Code That Now Provide for Lease
and Sale of Harbor Lands and Provide the Harbor Commission a Platform to Move
Forward

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Council Members Jim Glendening and Robert Peterkin
DATE: February 10, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3106-2020 – Amending Title 11 – Harbor and Harbor
Facilities
The Harbor Commission, and a subcommittee, has been reviewing Title 11 of the Kenai Municipal
Code to recommend changes that more appropriately reflect the Harbor Commissions current
functions, relationship with other commissions, and desires moving forward. This process is
especially relevant now, with the enactment of Ordinance No. 3072-2019 (Substitute) which
repealed and re-enacted the City’s approach to the managing City lands. Part of this approach
was to bring certain harbor lands, along with airport lands outside the airport reserve into the
City’s general fund land sales and leasing process to establish a consistent Citywide approach.
Additionally relevant to revisions of Title 11, many procedures and processes described in the
Title are no longer applicable because they address the transfer of certain tidelands from the
State of Alaska to the City on January 6, 1977 and the adjudication of preference rights or
commercial fishermen, much of which had to be accomplished by October 6, 1981.
It appears that when the Harbor Code was originally enacted, the City had a vision for a harbor
that did not come to fruition. Further, many current code provisions address specific conveyance
restrictions on specific parcels of land that do not broadly apply to all harbor lands. These specific
restrictions are carried forward in the City’s land management plan and do not need to remain
codified. Rather than retain old code provisions that are no longer applicable or applied, we
recommend removing the old language and addressing changes or new plans for the harbor on
a go forward basis. The proposed changes will not limit the City’s ability to move forward with any
new plans or projects, however new code provisions may be appropriate to address any
significant changes in harbor usage.
The Harbor Commission and a subcommittee formed especially to review Title 11 have put
considerable time and effort into revising the code and strategizing a path forward so the
Commission can be of greatest service to the City. The code revisions in this Ordinance
incorporate the recommended revisions from the Harbor Commission and its subcommittee,

Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
along with other proposed changes based on the enactment of Ordinance No. 3072-2019
(Substitute) and continued relevance of other sections of code recommended by the City Attorney.
We ask that this Ordinance be referred to the Harbor Commission upon introduction. Your
consideration is appreciated.

11.20.680 Provisions Regulating Public Use Purpose.
The City Council realizes that only a limited area of tidelands bordering navigable waters are
available within the City of Kenai and which are owned by the City of Kenai. It would be in the
public interest to insure that these lands do not pass out of community control at least to the extent
that the public would not be deprived of harbor services at reasonable rates in the future.
Therefore, areas of City-owned tidelands which are developable for the bona fide public purposes
as enumerated below shall be leased only with the following covenants defined to insure public
use and access at reasonable rates.
11.20.690 Provision to be Included in Public Use Lease.

11.20.710 Controlled Access.
Lessee, for its own protection, may construct or install fences, gates, or other types of barriers to
restrict access to portions of the demised premises that are not designated for a public use and
may provide reasonable controls for access to public use areas to allow for security for such areas
while insuring reasonable public access. Reasonable public access includes accommodations
made for fishing operations during fishing season. Any Controlled Access measures shall be
indicated on the Lessee’s Development Plan.
11.20.720 Use Charges.
Lessee shall make reasonable and non-discriminatory charges to the public for use of any of its
facilities.
11.20.780 Penalties.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined as provided for violations in KMC 13.05.010. Each day such
violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall
be punishable as such hereunder.
(b) In addition to or as an alternative to the above penalty provision, the City may impose a
civil penalty in an amount as provided by KMC 13.05.010 per day for the violation of any
provision of this chapter and seek injunctive relief for any infraction thereof for which the
offending party will be charged for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the City
as awarded by the court.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to restrict the City’s exercise of any of its rights
pursuant to the lease agreement including those enumerated in KMC 11.20.220 and KMC
11.20.240 hereof.
11.20.790 Tideland Leases for Shore Fisheries.
(a) Notwithstanding other provisions of the City’s Code of Ordinances the annual minimum
rental rate for tideland leases used primarily for shore fisheries shall be an annual fee as set
forth in the City’s schedule of fees adopted by the City Council. However, should the State of
Page 131 of 136

Page 7 of 7

Alaska set an annual lease rate higher than that established by the City for similar tideland
leases for shore fisheries on land owned by the State, the City may amend the annual rental
