MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
THROUGH: Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Lease execution extension to Schilling Rentals, LLC for Lot 5A
City Council approved of a 45-year lease application from Schilling Rentals, LLC earlier this year
for Lot 5A, Block 1, FBO Subdivision 2018 Replat at 413 North Willow Street to be used as a
hangar for rotor and fixed wing aircraft and crew quarters. The application detailed that Guardian
Flight, LLC was expected to utilize the premises to support emergency medical flights. Kenai
Municipal Code 21.10.130 requires a lease be executed within 60 days of the applicant being
mailed a lease form for signature. If the applicant shows good cause, the City Manager may grant
an extension not exceeding sixty days for the applicant to execute and return a signed lease. The
City Manager found good cause due to the global COVID-19 pandemic to grant a 60-day
extension to the execution of the lease for Lot 5A. This extended the deadline for execution and
signature of the lease to September 20, 2020.
Schilling Rentals has requested a greater extension for signing the lease than the 60 days allowed
by Kenai Municipal Code due to the unforeseen circumstances created by the COVID-19 global
pandemic. If City Council approves, the City would extend the date for Schilling Rentals, LLC to
execute the lease and sign the lease agreement with the City to May 31, 2021.
Please provide a recommendation to City Council for a lease execution extension for Schilling
Rentals, LLC to May 31, 2021 for Lot 5A, Block 1, FBO Subdivision Replat due to the global
COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your consideration.

Re : lot SA Block 1, FBO Subdivision
Dear Mr. Ostrander:
We have received notification from the City of Kenai that the subject property lease , approved March
18, 2020, must be signed and executed on or before Jul y 20, 2020 .
Schilling Rentals, LLC (SR) will be pleased to complete the lease and begin construction of a hangar and
facility for a new compa ny based at the Kenai Airport that will enhance our community's quality of life .
Due t o the global Covid-19 pandemic, the market is dramatically different than when original plans were
announced in March. Subsequently, we seek add itional time to complete the necessary steps required
prior to lease sig ning. We anticipate a Spring of 2021 g ro undbreaking ceremony and, as such , seek a
new deadline of May 31, 2021. Please note : if ch anges occur that will a llow an earlier sta rt date, there
will be no he sitatio n from SR to immediately sign and began construction of this worthy project
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
~~

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
THROUGH: Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Six-Month Lease Application Extension to SOAR International
Ministries Inc. for the undeveloped portion of Tract A, GAA No. 2
City Council approved of a 45-year lease application from SOAR International Ministries, Inc. with
Resolution No. 2019-57 for the undeveloped portion of Tract A, General Aviation Apron (GAA)
No. 2 after receiving an approval recommendation from the Airport Commission. The lease
application from SOAR denoted plans to construct an approximately 120 foot x 180 foot hangar
for aircraft storage and maintenance. There will also be a connecting office facility of
approximately 100-foot x 110-foot, an aircraft ramp and tie-down area, and parking. The parcel is
5.25 acres fronting the aviation apron with street frontages on North Willow and Granite Point
streets. SOAR proposes to build on the portion of the lot that is currently treed and needs to
subdivide the lot prior to construction as shown on the attached map. SOAR has hired a surveyor
to complete the subdivision. The plat was recommended for approval by the City of Kenai’s
Planning and Zoning Commission with Resolution PZ2020-06 on April 8, 2020. The plat was
granted preliminary approval by the Kenai Peninsula Borough on May 26, 2020. SOAR is working
with the surveyor to finalize the plat.
Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.050 No right of occupancy-Application expiration states that an
application will expire after twelve months if the City and the applicant have not entered into a
lease, unless the City Council for good cause grants an extension for a period not to exceed six
months. SOAR has submitted a letter requesting a six-month extension due to delays with the
global COVID-19 pandemic. Administration recommends approval of the extension given SOAR’s
significant progress on the subdivision and feasibility study prior to delays from the COVID-19
pandemic. If Council approves, SOAR’s application expiration date would be moved to February
21, 2020. Please provide a recommendation to City Council for SOAR’s request of a six-month
extension for their lease application expiration. Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
THROUGH: Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Application from Alaska Air Fuel for a portion of Lot 5, FBO Subd. No.
8 located at 525 N. Willow St. within the Airport Reserve
Alaska Air Fuel submitted an application to the City for a Lease of Airport Reserve Lands for the
property described as Lot 5, FBO Subdivision No. 8 located at 525 N. Willow St. The Kenai
Peninsula Borough parcel number is 04336043. The application requests a term of 45 years, with
an investment value clarified by email of $1 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 FBO with hangar and office. The
applicant’s initial stated uses also included crew quarters and a coffee shop, but these uses were
deleted from the application after discussion with the City. Alaska Air Fuel would not like to lease
a portion of the entire parcel and subdivision must be completed prior to a lease document being
signed. Alaska Air Fuel would need to comply with Airport fencing requirements and parking. Their
site plan shows an approximation of the fence location and notes that additional parking spaces
would need to be added into the design.
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 uses by
Alaska Air Fuel are permitted and compatible uses in the ALI Zone.
The proposed use by Alaska Air Fuel 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 Airport Commission recommend the City approve a lease application from Alaska
Air Fuel for Lot 5, FBO Subdivision for the use of FBO Hangar and office for a term of 45
21
Page 2 of 2
years? The City Council will be notified of the Airport Commission’s decision as part of their
evaluation of the lease application. The Airport Commission makes their decision on lease
applications based on the proposed development’s compliance with the Airport Land Use Plan,
Airport Layout Plan, Federal Aviation Administration regulations, Airport Master Plan, Airport
Improvement Program grant assurances, and Airport operations.
Compliance Note: Alaska Air Fuel did not obtain a notarized signature for their existing Special
Use Permit at Kenai Municipal Airport. Until a notarized signature is obtained, the lease
application will not be brought before City Council for a decision.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
THROUGH: Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 13, 2020
SUBJECT: Application from Alaska Air Fuel for a portion of Lot 5, FBO Subd. No.
8 located at 525 N. Willow St. within the Airport Reserve
Attached are two maps to correct and provide additional information for the review of the lease
application from Alaska Air Fuel. The first map corrects the portion of the lot depicted that Alaska
Air Fuel has requested to lease. The lot is 400 feet in width (frontage along Willow Street) x 392
feet in depth (distance of lot back from Willow Street to Airport taxiway). Alaska Air Fuel has
requested to lease an area 280 feet x 392 feet (corrected to 392 feet from the 380 feet in depth
shown on their submitted site plan). If the lot is subdivided and the requested area is leased, it
would leave a parcel approximately 120 feet in width by 392 feet in depth. This area is adjacent
to a large 330-acre parcel owned by the City. The second map shows a smaller scale map in
order to depict adjacent parcels of the requested lot for additional information.
Thank you for your consideration of this updated map and additional map showing a larger
geographic area as part of your resources to review the lease application from Alaska Air Fuel.
