MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Ryan Foster, Planning Director
DATE: February 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2022-XX – APPROVING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE
TO STATE OF ALASKA, DIVISION OF FORESTRY.
On July 1, 2021, State of Alaska, Division of Forestry entered into a Special Use Permit for portion
of Lot 4, FBO Subdivision No. 7 as delineated as Lot 4A of the preliminary plat of FBO Subdivision
No.11. The Special Use Permit was the only option available for continuing Division of Forestry
utilization of the property since the subdivision for the City Sand Storage Facility was not
completed/recorded at the time their previous lease expired on June 30, 2021. The Special Use
Permit terminates on June 30, 2022.
The Division of Forestry proposes electrical service improvements and a concrete containment
barrier with an estimated $10,000 value of improvements to be completed within two (2) years of
signing the lease. Activities noted on the application is an air tanker reload base for wildland fire
prevention and suppression. The requested lease term is 5 years.
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.060 Lease application review, notice of the lease
application was posted in the Peninsula Clarion and stated competing applications may be
submitted for the parcel within 30 -days to the City. The 30 -day window from publication ends on
February 26, 2022, and to-date, no competing applications have been submitted to the City.
The parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.065, the
purpose 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 aeronautical use
is a permitted and compatible use in the ALI Zone.
The Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan outlines goals, objectives, and action items for the
City, including this one pertaining to the Kenai Municipal Airport:
Objective T- 1: Support future development near or adjacent to the airport when such
development is in alignment with the Kenai Municipal Airport's primary mission, "To be the
commercial air transportation gateway to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Cook Inlet."
Page 10
Page 2 of 2
The proposed use complies with the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan by supporting
development on lease lots with development that is in alignment with the Kenai Municipal Airport's
marketing strategy.
The Airport Land Use Plan was developed to identify the highest and best uses of Kenai Municipal
Airport land. The Airport Land Use Plan discusses leasing land and enhancing opportunities for
local economic development. The proposed use by the Division of Forestry complies with the
Airport Land Use Plan and would enhance local economic development.
Goal 7 – Natural Hazards and Disasters: Prepare and protect the citizens of Kenai from natural
hazards and disasters
Objective NH- 1: Implement the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan strategies.
The 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan states that “Dead and dying spruce trees pose the greatest risk
of wild fire on the entire KPB, including the City. Wildland fire is designated as a hazard in the
2018 State of Alaska HMP with a high probability of occurring in the KPB.” The air tanker reload
base provides the Division of Forestry a base for wildland fire prevention and suppression
activities that protects both the City and the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
The Airport Commission will be reviewing the lease application and providing a recommendation
during their meeting on February 10, 2022.
Please review the attached materials.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: February 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Action Approval – Approving the City of Kenai Capital Improvement
Plan FY2023-2027.
The City of Kenai's five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is developed by the Public Works
Department in coordination with City departments, Administration, Boards and Commissions, and
the City Council for the purpose of long-range capital improvement planning and budgeting. A
capital improvement project is typically a one-time expenditure, usually, in excess of $35,000, that
has a useful life exceeding one year or is a major project such as a comprehensive or master
plan. Capital projects on existing assets are included in the CIP, provided they meet the definition
of a capital project. Projects can focus on immediate needs or anticipate future needs before
critical failures and are developed based on an internal process that determines funding
availability and infrastructure needs.
The CIP is divided into six parts based on the City Fund in which the project would be accounted
for. These include the Airport Fund, General Fund, Water & Sewer Fund, and Senior Citizens
Fund, Congregate Housing Enterprise Fund, and Personal Use Fishery Fund. Projects are not
necessarily listed in priority order for each Fund by fiscal year. Active projects that have been
funded in prior years are not included in the Plan.
Projects that are identified in the CIP are included for planning purposes and to recognize a need.
Not all projects receive the necessary funding to accomplish them in a projected year, which is
why the list is updated annually. Many projects are dependent on non-City funding sources, which
the City can expect to seek, but are not guaranteed. The availability of outside funds can vary
with local, state, and federal economies, and the City's needs can, and do, change frequently.
Please review the attached materials.
Does the Commission recommend Council approve the Capital Improvement Plan FY2023-
2027?

INTRODUCTION
The City of Kenai's five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is developed by the
Public Works Department in coordination with City departments, Administration,

capital improvement planning and budgeting. A capital improvement project is
typically a one-time expenditure, usually, in excess of $35,000, that has a useful
life exceeding one year or is a major project such as a comprehensive or master

the definition of a capital project. Projects can focus on immediate needs or
anticipate future needs before critical failures and are developed based on an
internal process that determines funding availability and infrastructure needs.
The CIP is divided into six parts based on the City Fund in which the project would

Fund, and Senior Citizens Fund, Congregate Housing Enterprise Fund, and
Personal Use Fishery Fund. Projects are not necessarily listed in priority order for

Projects that are identified in the CIP are included for planning purposes and to

them in a projected year, which is why the list is updated annually. Many projects
are dependent on non-City funding sources, which the City can expect to seek, but
