A letter of explanation from Mr. and Mrs. ' Padgett was included in the Councills.packets. Mark Padgett Requested reconsideration of the South'Ames Road. section line easement.. Padgett stated that he and his wife. purchased two lots in that area.severai years ago with the intent. to build a home. They realized an.easement was on the.propertiy, but were 'not sure what it was'. The . secstion.. line. is a common line between the lots. The easement renders the property.unbuildable. Padgett added that they have.been'before the Sorough..Plaaning Commission and they approved the vacation. Padgett'atated also that the Kenai P1,ann ng & Zoning commission:approved the vacation as well... The easement request -had been. before Council in August and was d+enied., Padgett stated that he 'was. unaware ..,that. the . item would ,be brought to Council or they would have attended that meeting ae well. Padgett stated.that.the easement is not a public access to Deaver,.. Creek. There is: no trail -along,the easement.- ement. Padgett added that the . bank along the section line is . steep and .CrossBes:: lots of.. . w C� KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 21, 1992 PAGE 4 wetland between the high ground and the Creek. Padgett added.. that it is not suitable for public use, parking or problem to habitat. Padgett stated that there had been another easement vacation request denied by Council along Beaver Creek several years .ago . That easement vacation request was for the development of a'boat launch. Padgett stated that they are going to use the area for. public access. Padgett added that another vacation was approved last year for an easement approximately ;.mile upothe Creek from them. Padgett stated that he discussed the letters of objection from Fish & Game, Parks, etc. with the Kenai Peninsula Planning Commission and the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission. They stated they believed the objections to be standard procedure and a standard response. Padgett stated to Council to keep in mind that they plan to use the property to build a house. With the easement existing on the property, the property is unbuildable and unmortgageable. Monfor stated that when the easement request came before Council in August, it was thought that the easement was used for public access. Monfor referred to photographs distributed to Council by Padgett. Monfor stated that the photographs do not show where there has been public access. Padgett added that the wetlands portion of the property is often flooded on high tide. MOTION$ Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to go ahead and rescind previous action... Councilman Measles asked if Council should move to recind or should the Padgett's go back to the Borough with information from the Council. Smalley suggested that it would be helpful to remove the objection. Smalley asked if Council should rescind. the previous action or make a new motion. Graves stated that he believed the Padgett's would need to reapply to the Borough.. Williams asked if the public hearing before Kenai Planning.& Zoning could be waived. Graves stated he was guessing that the.,. borough will probably suggest rescinding the action of the objection. Graves suggested Padgett's reapply and bring the request back to Council. • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 21, 1992 PAGE 5 Smalley requested a clarification about which parcels Padgett'.a.. were speaking. Padgett pointed the parcels out on the map included in the packet. Padgett stated they were the triangular lot and Lot 13. They would be replatted and made into one lots The high ground falls off to the east. NOTIONS Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to rescind the Council's vote of August 51 1992 denying Padgett's the vacation of the easement of their property and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. McComsey asked if this item would come before Council again. Williams answered after the Borough acts on it again. Graves stated he guessed although that it would come back to Council. ° Williams stated that a letter from. the City to the Borough could state that Council requests the matter come back before them for final review. Monfor asked Padgett if they have talked with Fish & Game regarding their objection to the vacation. Padgett stated that the Borough recommended they bring the matter to Council first and then contact the other State agencies. Mrs. Padgett (from the audience) stated that Mr. Troeger at the Borough stated to work with the Council again. Troeger stated that he did not believe they would have to bring the matter back to the borough. Mrs. Padgett added that they have one year in which to have the, property replatted and work with the State agencies. Williams suggested they speak with Troeger again so there is no misconception. Williams added that he has some concerns about all the letters of objection from the State agencies. It is usual for those agencies to deny. Nathan Bailey - Bailey stated that he owns property adjacent to the Padgett properties (Government Lot 12). Bailey stated that. he purchased his property this summer. Bailey stated that he, did not have the opportunity to work jointly with the Padgett'-s�to have the easement vacated. However, he will proceed in that-.,,.'' manner, although the easement does not impact his property. Bailey stated that the Padgett's wish to build a house next door. He would prefer a house there instead of a cabin. Without the vacation of the easement, it will remain a cabin. Other neighbors in the area, who have lived their 40 years, have stated that they have not seen anyone using the easement as access to.. • rl KENA►I CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 21 a, 1992 . .

W11l Jabriq - Stated he owns.property in'that area also. Jahrig stated that an'easement usage theire.is not a good idea, Public access there would lead to the bank of the creek and it is a gray mud area.: Jahrig stated he does not understand why the agencies objected to the vacation. Jahrig stated'he thinks it is a stamped action. The area should not be used for any kind of public access as it is a residential area. The Padgett's intended use would be better for the area.

Mccomsey: No Bookey: No Smalley: Yes Swarner: No Williams suggested that Padgett's bring the natter before Kenai Planning &Zoning with a clearer idea of how they want the property to be used. Monfor suggested that they first talk with the State agencies and get letters. of non -objection from them. Monfor added that the City is encouraging-people.to come to Kenai and this is not an encouragement. Williams added that he agrees that Padgett s should speak with the State agencies. They could provide them with photographs and., topography as they, did for the Council.- The photographs helped explain the property much better,' Padgett stated that this is a 'Catch 220 situation.'

Both ways. could be offered, it ready. for KENAI CITY OCTOBER 21, PAGE 13 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1992 Williams stated that the appraisal requires FAA approval. Williams asked Council for a recommendation of what next .to say to PTI. Should a credit be offered as a type of inducement? Swarner asked if any written request has been received from PTI.' Williams stated that the City received drawings from Kluge. There has been no letter, per se, and he has not requested one from them as yet. Williams suggested two thoughts of inducement. One, City pays for the property from the General Fund to the Airport Fund and lease or sign the property over to PTI. Second, the City takes $118,500 from the Airport Fund (if it can be done) and use it to prepare the property for lease, then get a long- term lease for the $118,500 value. PTI would build their building. The City would be leasing only the land to them. PTI would be able to finance through AIDEA. The water and sewer is already placed. Williams added he wants to put in Baron Park Lane to Marathon to Road next year. McComsey stated that if they own the building, they will want to own the property as well. Williams stated that if there is an outright sale to PTI for $118#500, the City could then give PTI that such credit to be added into the preparation of the land, it could be done from the General Fund and not the Airport Fund. If the property is leased, the revenue will go to the Airport Fund. Measles stated that if the City is going to pave and provide the utilities, he would rather sell the property outright, perhaps below the appraised value. Measles added that he does not favor giving the property or giving $118,500 for their construction. Williams stated that the tax will be on the improved property.. Kim Howard stated that the Borough assessor will assess after the development and taxes will be paid on the development. Williams stated he will talk with PTI about the paving, sale, appraisal,,. etc. Measles stated that the City would have to pay the Airport Fund the amount over the appraised value. Williams stated that Kluge has not done a cost analysis as yet to see the total value of the project. Williams stated he will try to get something in writing by the next Council Meeting. �J • • KENAI CITY OCTOBER 21, PAGE 14 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1992 8-4.
