Rolip Gifford - City Park/Forest Drive NO. Gifford stated that the Forest Drive Park cannot be used as a family park because of the people that stay there. The people using the park stay longer than the three-day limit. They move from camping spot to camping spot in order to avoid the three-day limit. Ms. Gifford would like the Council to close the camping and allow only cookout-typepark to that at a future time, half the eesscouldibeor moved andgerass planted to allow a play area where playground equipment could be placed for family outings. Gifford stated that if Council requires a petition in order to have the park closed to camping, she feels sure that signatures would be easy to get. She knows of many people who would like to have the park closed to camping. • E8N11I CITY COUNCIL M68TIH6 MI110TE8 718AIL 17r 1991 PAGE 3 Councilwoman Monfor stated that she thought such a closing was discussed about two years ago. Parke & Recreation Director McGillivray stated that it had been discussed. However, since this park was the only camping park available at the time, Council decided to leave the park open to camping. Mayor Williams suggested that one-night camping be allowed. Gifford stated that she would rather not have anyone camping in their subdivision. Williams stated that there are other problems with the land and that the State will be making a determination in the future. McGillivray was requested to check on any advertising made by the Chamber or Bicentennial as to free camping in the City and bring that information to Council for the May 1, 1991 meeting. The subject is to be placed on the agenda for discussion at that meeting. 8-8 Discussion - Appeal/Stephen's Alaskan Originals - Setting Board of Adjustment Hearing Date, Time, and Place. Mayor Williams stated that Mr. Peloza made a request to Planning & Zoning Commission to open an art gallery in old Town. There has been lots of discussion in the community regarding P&Z's decision. At the last Council Meeting the Council requested that the Planning & Zoning Commission hear Mr. Peloza's request a second time as Mr. Peloza discussed plans at the Council Meeting that he wanted to include in his business which he did not discuss with P&Z. At that second hearing by the P&Z Commission, 16 members of the community spoke: seven in favor, seven against, and two in the middle. P&Z upheld their decision to Mr. Peloza's request to open the art gallery based on what was stated on specific items listed on his application (fence, sign and art gallery in the building and use of outside easels). Two appeals have been received by the Clerk's office of P&Z's decision. After P&Z made their decision to uphold their previous determination, persons present asked how they could appeal. They were told that anyone can make an appeal to the Council. They were told that an appeal could not be heard by Council in April due to time restraints in allowing for notification of adjoining property owners of the appeal. An appeal is made to the Council acting as a Board of -Adjustment as stated in KMC 14.20.209. At this time, a date, time and place, must be determined for the Board of Adjustment to hear the appeal. • RBIlAI CITY CQWiCIL MB8TI1i0 xINOTm6 71PRIL 171 1891 PAGE 4 Attorney Graves stated that notification can be sent out to hear the appeal by May 1, 1991.

Discussed after B-1 on Agenda. 8-90 Discussion - "Blessing of the Fleet." Public Works Director Kornelis stated that the Harbor Commission got involved with the proposed "blessing of the fleet." They planned to have some of the local churches bless the fleet as they proceed by the City dock. Kornelis referred to his memo, a ' proposed form letter from Barry Eldridge and a memo from Attorney Graves which were included in the packet for background information. The letter from Mr. Eldridge is an invitation to fishing associations to participate in the "blessing of the fleet." ' The Harbor Commission was unable to discuss the attorneys memo due the fact that there was no quorum to have the meeting. Kornelis suggested Council ask the Harbor Commission and City to go ahead with the idea, do not go ahead with the idea, or do not comment or discuss and drop the idea. Williams asked if the Harbor Commission wants to participate officially. Answer was yes. Williams suggested that the Harbor Commission associate as an unofficial organization and arrange with another organization to conduct the blessing. Attorney Graves stated that he did not think the Harbor Commission can unofficially organize the blessing. Williams stated that if the members of the Harbor Commission and members of the community choose to be at the harbor at a certain time, he did not think any harm would come of that. City Manager Brighton stated that Attorney Graves is not objecting to the "blessing of the fleet," only the City's involvement in it. Williams suggested that the Harbor Commission contact him and he will send out the invitations on his own letterhead. Williams was asked if his letterhead has his title as "Mayor" on the letterhead. Answer was yes. Williams would still be representing the City and could not use that letterhead. Councilwoman Swarner suggested that the Bicentennial office send out the invitation. 41 Councilman Measles suggested that the Harbor Commission contact the fishing associations and have them organize the blessing. Williams thought it a good idea to organize through the Bicentennial office. Councilman Walker stated that he does not KENAI CITY APRIL 17, PAGE 13 ' COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1991 object to the "blessing of the fleet." Walker does not agree with the opinion of the attorney. As the Ad Hoc member of the Harbor Commission, he requested an official directive from Council. Williams stated that the Harbor Commission be informed that the City of Kenai and the official Harbor Commission should not participate officially in the "blessing of the fleet" and suggests that the Harbor Commission members, individually, discuss the matter with the Bicentennial office and make arrangements in that manner. Attorney Graves stated that the point of his memorandum is that as long as the City does not organize, it is not getting involved in a religious event. If the Bicentennial wants to organize the event, that is their business. Williams asked if the Council agreed. Answer was yes. N-10. Approval - Petition to Vacate: Tract 1, Jack Webb Subdivision, Sec. 1, TSN, R11W, S.M., Alaska. This item was added to the agenda. It was noted by memo of Administrative Assistant, Loretta Harvey, that the Planning & zoning Commission made no recommendation and requested that this item be discussed and approved by the Parks & Recreation Commission prior to coming to Council for approval. Parks & Recreation Commission did not make a recommendation to this petition to vacate as there was no quorum for their meeting and the meeting was canceled. Mr. Huff of Kim-N-Ang Court (person requesting the vacation) spoke to Council. Mr. Huff stated that the Borough Planning & Zoning has no problem with the vacation. He added that the Department of Fish & Game requested the Borough to withhold a certain portion for a pathway to Beaver Creek for people going P g g fishing. Huff stated that the City of Kenai has no property within walking distance of the property. The nearby camper park would use this area for fishermen to meet guides. Huff feels there is no practical purpose for allowing the easement. The property is wetlands on two sides, alder bushes and knee deep mud would prevent use on another side. A person would have to go on private property to get onto the easement and there would be parking problems. Also, who would maintain the walkway. Huff feels there are adequate points of access to the Creek in other • U • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUT20 APRIL 17, 1991 PAGE 14 places. Huff stated there are three other accesses to the creek besides City property. Huff feels the easement for the walkway. is not necessary or practical. Councilman Walker stated years ago there was a trail to the creek. Huff stated it was a BLM survey path and it is not really a trail. MOTION: Councilman McComsey MOVED to approve the petition to vacate of easement on Tract 1, Jack Webb Subdivision, Sec. 1, TSN, R11W, S.M. and Councilwoman Monfor 8ECONDED the motion. MOTION TO AMENDt Councilman Walker MOVED to amend to approve the easement and at the same time follow the Department of Fish & Game•s recommendation for the Borough to provide a trail easement for a foot path ten feet wide.

Im- Ilk I Z8TAA....:T19H _RR ,ORTO I-10 Mayor Mayor Williams introduced plans submitted to him.by Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage in regard to a proposed Kenai Boat Ramp. Williams stated that their plan centers around dredging the wetlands instead of filling them. The proposal includes.a 100 slip wet boat basin, instead..of a large parking lot and ramp. It is believed the Corps of Engineers will like this idea better. Williams cautioned the Council saying there are two steps they need to take. First, decide whether they want to pursue this • 1RN71I CI'P7f IWRIL 17� p11GA is COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1991 type of arrangement. If yes, Council needs to prepare a submittal to the Corps. If the Corps approves, funding for the $1.5 million project will be needed. Williams suggested that the funding could come from the federal government, city and state. Williams asked if Council wants to pursue the application to the Corps. Councilman McComsey questioned the positioning of their proposed project and the problem of siltation coming from the tides. Williams staffed that Peratrovich addressed this concern by developing a basin where the silt will flow in and out with the tides. Williams added that many of these questions would have to be answered by the engineer in the future. • Councilwoman Swarner asked how much it will cost to acquire the permit. Williams stated that Nottingham has stated in an official manner in another arena that it could cost up to $400000. swarner stated that she would like to know if the City would have to pay for the work to acquire the � ermit if the permit,permit cannot be acquired. Monfor, and McComsey agreed. Councilman Walker for clarification as to whether the City intends to continue to pursue their other ramp at $250,000. Walker believes this design is nice, but for lots of boats. Councilman Measles stated that the design would not need to be utilized as this. Measles stated that the design is to help get around legal hassles of the permitting. Kornelis stated that navigable rivers permit would also need to be acquired as a navigable estuary will be created. Williams stated that it is an interesting concept. Williams wanted to point out that the design triples the proposed cost. Adding, Council should keep in mind another potential development by Fish & Game on the Oberts property. Councilmembers McComsey and Measles stated this proposal by Nottingham, Peratrovich & Drage should be pursued. Mayor Williams is to find out what it will cost to pursue the acquisition of the Corps permit and what it will cost if the permit cannot be acquired. 40 I -a• City Manaq®r No report. 9 REMI CITY COUNCIL XXITING MINUTES APRIL 171 1991 PAGN 16 I-8.
