with changes requested by the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) including a turnaround in the
western portion of the plat. He noted that the changes were significant enough to require another
review by City staff and the commission.
Approval of the plat was recommended, subject to the following conditions:

turnaround at the end of Alaska Avenue.

CITY OF KENAI
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-08
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CABIN RENTALS.
APPLICANT: Thomas Hoesing
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1025 Angler Drive
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 3, Anglers Acres Subdivision Part 4
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 04939041
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on March 22, 2022; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated with plans and other documents that the
prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on April 13, 2022, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1. KMC 14.20.150(e)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
Critera Met: The proposed cabin rentals (1 two story, 2 one story) meets the intent of the
Rural Residential (RR) Zone to provide for low density residential development in outlying
and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential environment.
The specific intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
Page 7
Resolution No. PZ2022-08
Page 2 of 4
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The existing cabins are consistent with the intent of the Rural Residential District by
preserving the rural, open quality of the environment with a site design that preserves
many trees and creates privacy between neighboring parcels and Angler Drive. While
cabin rentals and guide services would generate consistent vehicle trips, it would likely not
generate heavy traffic, those persons renting cabins/guide services would generate
approximately as many trips as a year round residence on the property. KMC 14.22 Land
Use Table permits the three cabins on a Rural Residential property.
The Land Use Table provides that Cabin Rentals are a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of rental cabins. The applicant has provided a site plan that provides the layout
of the cabin and parking.
The Land Use Table provides that a Guide Service is a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of a guide service.
2. KMC 14.20.150(e)(2) The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The parcel located to the north is a residential cabin, to the east is Beaver
Creek, to the south is a lodge and guide service, and to the west is a commercial marijuana
cultivation facility. Angler Drive consists of Rural Residential zoned parcels and has many
conditional use permits for uses such as lodges, cabin rentals, guide services, and
marijuana cultivation. The subject property, with cabin rentals and a guide service, would
fit in with the character of the neighborhood by land use, lot size, lot orientation, and natural
character of the property. Both the economic and noneconomic value of adjacent
properties should not be significantly impacted by the use of cabin rentals and a guide
service. All improvements on the subject property are existing.
3. KMC 14.20.150(e)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a Low
Density Residential land use for this neighborhood. The Low Density Residential Land
Use Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“Low Density Residential because of location or poor site conditions is intended for large-
lot single-family low-density residential development. The area will typically be developed
with individual on-site water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Streets will typically
be constructed to rural street standards (i.e., gravel) and sidewalks will not be typically
included in the subdivision design. Rural Residential becomes Low Density Residential to
avoid confusion with zoning category.”
The subject parcel has similar land use, lot size and orientation, on-site water and
wastewater systems, and low density as neighboring properties. Angler Drive is paved,
and constructed to a higher standard than gravel rural streets, with no sidewalks.

The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic development
and to provide a high quality of life within the City. Below are specific goals/objectives from
the Comprehensive Plan that support this CUP application:
Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai.
Q-4 Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with
surrounding uses
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai.
ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for
recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events.
4. KMC 14.20.150(e)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. The subject property is accessed via Angler Drive, a paved, City maintained
road. City water and sewer is not in the vicinity of the subject property, therefore, onsite
water and wastewater treatment and disposal systems are necessary and located on the
property. The property has access to electricity, gas, and telephone services.
5. KMC 14.150(e)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: The use of a rental cabin and guide services will not be harmful to public
safety, health, or welfare. Staff believes that services are available to adequately serve
this development. There are recommended conditions with requirements related to
public safety, health, and welfare:
2. Prior to starting any business operations, a landscape/site plan must be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. This condition ensures site plan
and landscaping requirements are met, including for vehicle parking.
9. Quiet Hours are 10pm to 6am. This condition would help ensure the welfare of
neighbors is protected from noise.
6. KMC 14.150(e)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. That a conditional use permit is granted to Thomas Hoesing for Cabin Rentals for
property described as Lot 3, Anglers Acres Subdivision Part 4, and located at 1025

GENERAL INFORMATION
The applicant, Thomas Hoesing, has submitted a conditional use permit application for Cabin
Rentals (PZ2022-08) and Guide Service (PZ2022-09) at 1025 Angler Drive.
Cabin rentals are listed as a conditional use within the Rural Residential zone in Kenai Municipal
Code 14.22.010, Land Use Table. KMC 14.20.320 Definitions, defines cabin rentals, “Cabin
rentals” means the renting out of one (1) or more individual, detached dwelling units or buildings
to provide overnight sleeping accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive
days.
Guide Service is listed as a conditional use within the Rural Residential zone in Kenai Municipal
Code 14.22.010, Land Use Table. KMC 14.20.320 Definitions, defines guide service, “Guide
Page 11
Page 2 of 6
Service” means any activity on any premises used for collecting or returning persons from
recreational trips when remuneration is provided for the service.
On September 13, 2021 and January 17, 2022 planning staff mailed a notice of Kenai Municipal
Code Violation for 1025 Angler Drive for operating cabin rentals without a conditional use permit
and that without a conditional use permit, would be unable to rent cabins for the 2022 summer
season (see 2nd letter attached).
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280(c) notices of the public hearing for the conditional
use were mailed to property owners within a three hundred-foot (300’) periphery of the subject
property. City staff published notice of the public hearing in the Peninsula Clarion. The applicant
submitted an Affidavit of Posting verifying a sign was placed on the parcel with information on the
public hearing for the conditional use request.
ANALYSIS
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150(e) – Review Criteria for Conditional Use Permits
Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(a), the intent of a conditional use permit is to allow some uses that
may be compatible with the designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain
conditions are met. KMC 14.20.150(e)-Conditional Use Permits Review Criteria states six
conditions that the Planning and Zoning Commission must deem to exist when establishing
findings prior to issuing a conditional use permit:
Criteria # 1: The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes
and intent of the zoning district.
Applicant Response: The request is consistent and mindful of KMC 14.20.150 (a). The
uses requested are allowed under the Land Use Table (KMC 14.22.010) and will not
impact surrounding property. Whether the property is utilized for daily rental and fishing or
by owners for daily use and fishing will not impact surrounding properties. Significant
driveway, parking improvements bring the property current with "Off street parking" KMC
14.20.250, see attachment #1.
Staff Response: The proposed cabin rentals (1 two story, 2 one story) meets the intent of
the Rural Residential (RR) Zone to provide for low density residential development in
outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential
environment. The specific intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
Page 12
Page 3 of 6
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The existing cabins are consistent with the intent of the Rural Residential District by
preserving the rural, open quality of the environment with a site design that preserves
many trees and creates privacy between neighboring parcels and Angler Drive. While
cabin rentals and guide services would generate consistent vehicle trips, it would likely not
generate heavy traffic, those persons renting cabins/guide services would generate
approximately as many trips as a year round residence on the property. KMC 14.22 Land
Use Table permits the three cabins on a Rural Residential property.
The Land Use Table provides that Cabin Rentals are a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of rental cabins. The applicant has provided a site plan that provides the layout
of the cabins and parking.
The Land Use Table provides that a Guide Service is a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of a guide service.
Criteria #2: The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
Applicant Response: Uses will not violate the recreational character of the neighborhood.
All properties on the east side of Angler drive abut either Beaver Creek or the Kenai River
and are involved in recreational fishing, either guided or private. At least two properties on
the west side on Angler have easements to cross specific lots on the east side for
purposes of fishing. Requested use is in harmony with the character of the neighborhood
and will not impact property values.
Staff Response: The parcel located to the north is a residential cabin, to the east is Beaver
Creek, to the south is a lodge and guide service, and to the west is a commercial marijuana
cultivation facility. Angler Drive consists of Rural Residential zoned parcels and has many
conditional use permits for uses such as lodges, cabin rentals, guide services, and
marijuana cultivation. The subject property, with cabin rentals and a guide service, would
fit in with the character of the neighborhood by land use, lot size, lot orientation, and natural
character of the property. Both the economic and noneconomic value of adjacent
properties should not be significantly impacted by the use of cabin rentals and a guide
service. All improvements on the subject property are existing.
Criteria #3: The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant Response: Requested use is in line with City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan,
specifically Goal 2. Further section 4.4.5-Visitor Industry-indicates 500,000 people vist the
Kenai Peninsula annually, two thirds during June/July/August. It also identifies economic
benefit generated via local spending on recreational fishing. The requested CUP will
expand capacity during peak. Use does not conflict with any objective listed in Goal 8.
Page 13
Page 4 of 6
Staff Response: The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a Low
Density Residential land use for this neighborhood. The Low Density Residential Land
Use Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“Low Density Residential because of location or poor site conditions is intended for large-
lot single-family low-density residential development. The area will typically be developed
with individual on-site water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Streets will typically
be constructed to rural street standards (i.e., gravel) and sidewalks will not be typically
included in the subdivision design. Rural Residential becomes Low Density Residential to
avoid confusion with zoning category.”
The subject parcel has similar land use, lot size and orientation, on-site water and
wastewater systems, and low density as neighboring properties. Angler Drive is paved,
and constructed to a higher standard than gravel rural streets, with no sidewalks.
The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic development
and to provide a high quality of life within the City. Below are specific goals/objectives from
the Comprehensive Plan that support this CUP application:
Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai.
Q-4 Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with
surrounding uses
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai.
ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for
recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events.
Criteria #4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Applicant Response: Angler Drive properties are typically served by well, septic, natural
gas and electricity. Applicant has replaced an aging rusted steel septic with a modern
properly engineered, permitted, installed and DEC approved septic system. Applicant has
installed a new natural gas service, enhanced electrical service and significantly upgraded
the drive way so all parking will be on the property, not public road right away, and be
compliant with KMC 14.20.250.
Staff Response: The subject property is accessed via Angler Drive, a paved, City
maintained road. City water and sewer is not in the vicinity of the subject property,
therefore, onsite water and wastewater treatment and disposal systems are necessary
and located on the property. The property has access to electricity, gas, and telephone
services.
Criteria #5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Applicant Response: A CUP for "cabin rental & guide service" will not be harmful to public
safety, health, or welfare. The cabins are located on the East end of the site boarding
Beaver Creek and for the rental season are barely visible from the road. As mentioned
Page 14
Page 5 of 6
both public services and the property itself have been significantly upgraded. The
applicant intends to emphasize "quiet enjoyment" for all occupants of the property.
Staff Response: The use of a rental cabin and guide services will not be harmful to public
safety, health, or welfare. Staff believes that services are available to adequately serve
this development. There are recommended conditions with requirements related to public
safety, health, and welfare:
2. Prior to starting any business operations, a landscape/site plan must be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. This condition ensures site plan
and landscaping requirements are met, including for vehicle parking.
9. Quiet Hours are 10pm to 6am. This condition would help ensure the welfare of
neighbors is protected from noise.
Criteria # 6: Specific conditions deemed necessary.
Applicant Response: As stated the proposed use, short term rental for fishing and guide
services will be consistent with the owners personal use since acquiring the property
almost three years ago. Owner intends to emphasize "quiet enjoyment" to renters so
their use is consistent with his use since he acquired the property. As no measures have
been suggested in the past none are contemplated.
Staff Response: See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.

CITY OF KENAI
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-09
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A GUIDE SERVICE.
APPLICANT: Thomas Hoesing
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1025 Angler Drive
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 3, Anglers Acres Subdivision Part 4
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 04939041
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on March 22, 2022; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated with plans and other documents that the
prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on April 13, 2022, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1. KMC 14.20.150(e)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
Critera Met: The proposed cabin rentals (1 two story, 2 one story) meets the intent of the
Rural Residential (RR) Zone to provide for low density residential development in outlying
and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential environment.
The specific intent in establishing this zone is:
(1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will:
(A) Preserve the rural, open quality of the environment;
(B) Prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
(2) To prohibit uses which would:
(A) Violate the residential character of the environment;
Page 37
Resolution No. PZ2022-09
Page 2 of 4
(B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas.
The existing cabins are consistent with the intent of the Rural Residential District by
preserving the rural, open quality of the environment with a site design that preserves
many trees and creates privacy between neighboring parcels and Angler Drive. While
cabin rentals and guide services would generate consistent vehicle trips, it would likely not
generate heavy traffic, those persons renting cabins/guide services would generate
approximately as many trips as a year round residence on the property. KMC 14.22 Land
Use Table permits the three cabins on a Rural Residential property.
The Land Use Table provides that Cabin Rentals are a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of rental cabins. The applicant has provided a site plan that provides the layout
of the cabin and parking.
The Land Use Table provides that a Guide Service is a conditional use for the Rural
Residential zoning district; therefore, a conditional use permit must be granted for the
operation of a guide service.
2. KMC 14.20.150(e)(2) The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired;
Criteria Met. The parcel located to the north is a residential cabin, to the east is Beaver
Creek, to the south is a lodge and guide service, and to the west is a commercial marijuana
cultivation facility. Angler Drive consists of Rural Residential zoned parcels and has many
conditional use permits for uses such as lodges, cabin rentals, guide services, and
marijuana cultivation. The subject property, with cabin rentals and a guide service, would
fit in with the character of the neighborhood by land use, lot size, lot orientation, and natural
character of the property. Both the economic and noneconomic value of adjacent
properties should not be significantly impacted by the use of cabin rentals and a guide
service. All improvements on the subject property are existing.
3. KMC 14.20.150(e)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Criteria Met. The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, proposes a Low
Density Residential land use for this neighborhood. The Low Density Residential Land
Use Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
“Low Density Residential because of location or poor site conditions is intended for large-
lot single-family low-density residential development. The area will typically be developed
with individual on-site water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Streets will typically
be constructed to rural street standards (i.e., gravel) and sidewalks will not be typically
included in the subdivision design. Rural Residential becomes Low Density Residential to
avoid confusion with zoning category.”
The subject parcel has similar land use, lot size and orientation, on-site water and
wastewater systems, and low density as neighboring properties. Angler Drive is paved,
and constructed to a higher standard than gravel rural streets, with no sidewalks.
Page 38
Resolution No. PZ2022-09
Page 3 of 4
The Comprehensive Plan has goals to support businesses and economic development
and to provide a high quality of life within the City. Below are specific goals/objectives from
the Comprehensive Plan that support this CUP application:
Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai.
Q-4 Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with
surrounding uses
Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide economic development to support the
fiscal health of Kenai.
ED-9 Capitalize on the tourism industry by marketing Kenai as a destination for
recreational activities, conventions, festivals, arts, cultural and other events.
4. KMC 14.20.150(e)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Criteria Met. The subject property is accessed via Angler Drive, a paved, City maintained
road. City water and sewer is not in the vicinity of the subject property, therefore, onsite
water and wastewater treatment and disposal systems are necessary and located on the
property. The property has access to electricity, gas, and telephone services.
5. KMC 14.150(e)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Criteria Met: The use of a rental cabin and guide services will not be harmful to public
safety, health, or welfare. Staff believes that services are available to adequately serve
this development. There are recommended conditions with requirements related to
public safety, health, and welfare:
2. Prior to starting any business operations, a landscape/site plan must be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. This condition ensures site plan
and landscaping requirements are met, including for vehicle parking.
9. Quiet Hours are 10pm to 6am. This condition would help ensure the welfare of
neighbors is protected from noise.
6. KMC 14.150(e)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
See Conditions of Approval as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
Section 1. That a conditional use permit is granted to Thomas Hoesing for Cabin Rentals for
property described as Lot 3, Anglers Acres Subdivision Part 4, and located at 1025
Angler Drive.
Section 2. That the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions:

5. The applicant will meet with City staff for on-site inspections when requested.
6. If there is a change of use for the above described property a new Conditional Use Permit
must be obtained, pursuant to 14.20.150(l)(5).
7. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(l)(2), this permit shall expire automatically upon termination
or interruption of the use for a period of at least one year.

for the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit.

City-owned parcels along Coral Street and two portions of additional City owned land for storage
of truck trailers for one-year from June 21, 2022 to June 20, 2023. Weaver Brothers, Inc. has
been storing truck trailers on these five parcels via special use permit from June 20, 2020 to June
20, 2022. This requested SUP use is similar to the use of two parcels under a five-year lease from
the City by Weaver Brothers for truck storage along Coral Street and allows for a temporary
expansion of their business. The attached maps show the location of the parcels requested for a
special use permit. The application submitted to the City is also attached to this memorandum.
The Coral Street Airport Zone of the City was appraised at a rate of $0.50 per square foot and the
annual permit fee for 2021 was $3,442.67 for all five lots at 86,945 total square feet to be used,
and an 8% of fair market value annual special use permit rate. With the CPI adjustment of
6.35% for 2022, the new lease rate is $3,661.28
The parcels are within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone of the City and within the Airport
Reserve. Pursuant to requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration, the City would reserve
the right to cancel this special use permit on 90-days’ notice.
The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be provided to City Council as
part of their decision process for the special use permit. If City Council approves, City
Administration would execute a special use permit for truck trailer storage for 12 months to James
H. Doyle, Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers, Inc.
Please review the attached draft special use permit and application materials.
Does the Commission recommend Council approve the special use permit?

RE: Opposition to CUP Application 1025 Angler Drive
Dear Commissioners:
We formally voice our opposition to the approval of the Application for Conditional Use Permits (CUP) for
Cabin Rentals (PZ2022-08) and Guide Service (PZ2022-09), for the property described as Lot 3, Angler Acres
Subdivision Part 4, located at 1025 Angler Drive Kenai Alaska 99611.
The applicant, Mr. Hoesing, has several miss-leading and inaccurate statements in his application. His
property has been used as rental cabins without a CUP for the last 3 years as represented by the
commercially produced sign advertising his cabins in the attached photo. Whilst Mr. Hoesing does not live in
Alaska and only visits a few weeks each year, the cabins have been managed by Foster’s Alaska Cabins 1005
Angler Drive. This results in frequent illegal golf cart and ATV traffic on the blind corner on Angler Drive
between the two non-adjacent properties. Also since he does not live here, there is no way that he can
guarantee his occupants are quiet. There are multiple references to creating a quiet enjoyment for the
renters and occupants however, he has personally shown us anything but quiet enjoyment by participating in
loud music activities.
His claim that this does not violate the recreational character of the neighborhood and that all properties on
the east side of Angler drive are involved in fishing activities is not correct. This is a rural residential zone not
a recreational area and a number of full time residence on the creek do not have docks or even participate in
fishing activities. The reference of not violating the recreation character of the neighbor is an incorrect
assumption as it is zoned as Rural Residential not recreational. His prior activities have had significant
negative impacts on nearby properties; trespassing, noise, and property damage.
As a matter of record, the reference to Beaver Creek on Ames and Angler Drive is not precise as that section
is actually a branch of the Kenai River and part of the Kenai River Special Management Area. Considering the
guide CUP application, the changes in recent years with a reduction of King Salmon fishing has greatly
focused fishing activity on Red Salmon. This has significantly increased the water taxi service and traffic in
Beaver Creek for Red Salmon fishing. Adding another guide service and dock system will negatively impact
the Riparian Zone.
Based on these comments, input, history and activity of the applicant, we believe approval of these CUPs will
allow activity that will negatively impact ours and our neighbor’s properties.
We recommend that you do not approve either of the CUP applications.
Sincerely,
MJ Loveland Ron Rogalsky

Dear Commissioners:
We would like to voice our opposition to the approval of the Application for Conditional Use
Permits for Cabin Rentals (PZ2022-08) and Guide Service (PZ2022-09), for the property
described as Lot 3, Angler Acres Subdivision Part 4, Located at 1025 Angler Drive, Kenai,
Alaska 99611.
In your review of the application, our opinion is that Planning and Zoning considers the
neighborhood to be Angler Drive with the consideration of impacts based on the road. We
suggest that you consider the neighborhood to be Beaver Creek rather than Angler Drive. In
our opinion, Beaver Creek’s carrying capacity for yet another guide service with cabins has
been exceeded and the summer activity does not emphasize “quite enjoyment” for the
neighborhood. We also suggest that you consider the impact to the riparian habitat created by
another operation, following the precedent of one dock with five to eight boats.
We purchased our property and built our home on Ames Road because of the access, and quiet
nature, of Beaver Creek, compared to the summertime nature of the Kenai River. We have
watched that quiet nature deteriorate over recent years with the addition of guide services and
cabin rentals catering to tourists that have no appreciation for the neighborhood where they are
spending their Alaskan Vacation.
Although the requested use is in line with City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan, we suggest that
you look no further than 1005 Angler Drive to see the best example of disregard for “quiet
enjoyment” within a neighborhood. During the Summer months, Foster’s Alaska Cabins offers
all inclusive recreation that includes live music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The
racket generated by this activity can clearly be heard along Beaver Creek and Ames Road.
One can only imagine the impact to adjoining property owners.
We are concerned that Mr. Hoesing’s operation will follow the precedent being set by Foster’s
Alaska Cabins. The application states that “no measures have been contemplated regarding
ways to minimize the potential impacts of the conditional use to the neighbors”. What recourse
do we, as neighbors, have when the actual operation does become an obstacle to “quite
enjoyment”?
Increased activity will definitely impact surrounding property owners. We suggest that you do
not approve this application as a means to preserve what little harmony remains within our
neighborhood, also known as Beaver Creek.
Sincerely,
Mack & Carol Padgett

1015 Angler Drive, Kenai
RE: Resolutions PZ2022-08 and PZ2022-09
Commission Members…..
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these applications for Conditional Use Permits.
We are the directly adjacent neighbors to the north of this property, and have been there
for over 30 years.
On the face of it, the application could be innocuous: small scale cabin rentals and guiding.
But, the problem is that the City of Kenai, and the Conditional Use Permit process does not
work at protecting neighborhoods from adverse impacts from operators that create problems.
There is no effective enforcement or process to monitor and if necessary revoke permits
that create problems. This situation is a case in point.
The applicant Mr. Hoesing at 1025 Angler Drive states that he operates in a reasonable
manner so as not to disturb the nature of the neighborhood. That is not the case. Mr.
Hoesing is a resident of Nebraska who only visits occasionally for a short period. This
business was turned over to Jason Foster, who operates it as a portion of his operation at
1005 Angler Drive. As Planning and Zoning has heard many times, we are constantly
disturbed by vehicles and golf carts running back and forth between 1025 and 1005
sometimes dozens of times/day, frequently playing loud music on the vehicles. Noise
complaints are on file with the police and City Manager regarding this persistent problem.
An equally difficult issue is that for the past two summers, clients from this property have
added to the noise and disturbances associated with inebriated partying at the outdoor tent
operated at 1005 Angler Drive.
We have had trespassers come across our property to traverse between 1025 Angler Drive
and the ‘entertainment/outdoor nightclub tent’ operated at 1005 Angler Drive. I called in a
report on at least one of these occurrences and your Kenai police made a visit to inform the
residents at 1025 that they could not trespass on adjacent property.
To prevent incursions for a portion of our property where the driveway at 1005 Angler
Drive runs to the very edge of our property, I put up marker stakes and a fence. That was
knocked down and destroyed three times. The third time, I filed a report with the Kenai
police. A officer came by and suggested there was nothing the City of Kenai could do and
that I could file a civil lawsuit to recover the cost of the fences.
Because of Mr. Hoesing’s choice for manager of his property, we have no reason to believe
that this coming summer will be any better than the past two. And because of the manner
in which the business is managed, this operation adds to the problems at 1005 Angler Drive.
Therefore, we cannot support this CP application at this time. Ideally, a business of this
type could operate in a normal and respectful manner, but that has not been the case the
past two years and we have no reason to expect a difference in the future.
If the City of Kenai is intent on allowing commercial activity on this site, you should take
the care to make some stipulations in the CUP that would be attached to the it. Specifically.
•The long distance owner of this operation should require that the property maintains an
on-site full time manager/operator to ensure a reasonable operation that functions within
acceptable norms of impact to the neighborhood that a full time manager/operator be
living on the property to ensure a reasonable operation.
•That the permit be for a specific maximum number of visitor/clients. There are currently
two cabins on the property, one full size and one small. A reasonable maximum might be
a total of 7 guest/visitors is suggested.
•That a stipulation for noise and disturbance be attached to the permit to not allow loud
drinking parties and loud music at any time, but especially from 9 PM to 6 AM.
•That guests at this property (1025 Angler Drive) be limited to activities on that property
without trespassing on other properties. For example, the past practice for clients attend
the outdoor nightclub and loud entertainment center at 1005 Angler Drive.
•Due to the past problems of operation on this location, we recommend that guide
operations should not be allowed at this time. If, after a period of operation the business
is able to operate in a reasonable manner, perhaps expansion of the CUP would be
considered.
These stipulations would have no effect if not strictly enforced by the City of Kenai. The
CUP should explicitly lay out sanctions, including withdrawal of the permit if problems
continue. For example, if police noise/disturbance calls reach 10 times, that would trigger a
permit review.
We have a suggestion for a way to easily improve coordination and communication between
the City of Kenai and the Planning and Zoning Commission that could help address ‘problem’
permits. The Commission could add a regular aspect to their annual schedule to ask the
City Manager, the Chief of Police and the City Planner about any CUP’s that are causing
problems? You can take the initiative to make this happen.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application. I would be happy to
answer any questions you may have.

Kenai AK 99611
Dear Commissioners:
I’am writing this letter in opposition of an Application for CUP’s PZ2022-08 & PZ2022-09 for Cabin Rentals and
Guide Services for the property described as Lot # Angler Acres Subdivision at 1025 Angler Drive, Kenai AK.
99611
I have several concerns with yet another High Volume Guide Fishery located on Beaver Creek, the Guiding industry
in this area has changed significantly over the past several years do to the lack of Kenai River King Salmon fishing
opportunities, It’s gone from one or two trips a day in and out of Beaver Creek to pick up and drop off clients per
Guide Boat to nonstop traffic dropping off clients on the banks and picking up clients at all hours night and day, the
Sockeye fishery is a highly unregulated on the Kenai River and as such has been exploited regularly by some of the
businesses along Beaver Creek therefore increasing traffic in Beaver Creek, It is the opinion of myself and most
private property owners along Beaver Creek that this area is way beyond carrying capacity and is not considered
quiet enjoyment of our neighborhood, it’s quite the opposite for the Private Property Owners along Angler Drive
and most importantly Beaver Creek, Its my opinion that CUP’s are handed out freely by the Planning and Zoning
Department because based on City Code allows for this type of activity zoned RR and in my opinion with total
disregard for personal property owners especially with this type of high capacity high volume businesses, I believe
the Comprehensive Plan carries more weight than the City Code that allows this activity in residential
neighborhoods, the Comprehensive Plan states it is intended to promote and encourage Quality of Life and Protect
the Livability of Neighborhoods, lets not lose sight that even though this area has been over run with Commercial
Fishing and Lodging activities it is still a Residential Neighborhood and the rights of other private property owners
should have top priority when it comes to issuing CUP’s, Angler Drive is not the only residential area effected by by
this activity, on Beaver Creek there are approximately 25 other private homes along Beaver Creek and every CUP
issued for this type of activity deteriorates the quality of life and livability of our neighborhood.
Also according to Mr Hoesing’s Application he is not a Resident and does not live in the area and also states that he
has owned the property for close to three years. It is also common knowledge that this property has been managed
and used by Jason Foster as part of Fosters Alaska Cabins business without a CUP for much of this time and is just
another property in the area used as part Fosters Alaska Cabins Business, and is far from a traditional quiet Cabin
Rental and Guide Service. I think the Commissioners are all aware of the business model of Fosters Alaska Cabins
with outdoor eating and drinking with live music, golf carts traveling from several other properties in the
neighborhood at all hours of the night and day the list is long, I believe this business is operating way beyond the
intended uses set forth on the original CUP and has become a detriment to the neighborhood and this property will
just add more unwanted traffic, noise and other unwanted activities to this already exploited area of our
neighborhood.
I think the Conditional Use Permitting process falls short on individual property rights and as such needs significant
upgrades to protect personal property owners that have invested a lifetime of hard work and a considerable amount
of money to carve out a home that they can enjoy and someday pass on to others to enjoy without being overrun
with this type of high volume activity. I know that in my 30 years of living on Beaver Creek the quality of live and
livability of my home that I built with my own hands has diminished dramatically do to this commercial activity
called Guided Fishing and Cabin Rentals.
I know I speak for myself and many of my neighbors in asking this board to deny this application, I don’t think Mr
Hoesing has proven that his business will not be just another detriment to our neighborhood for personal gain at the
expense of others, I believe every time one of these CUP’s is approved it devalues my property not only in terms of
monetary value but most importantly quality of life value
