Y Be PUBLIC HEARINGS _ 8-1 Dale Sandahl - Convenience Store - Thompson Park -� Dale Sandahl. Kenai-� Mr. Sandahl explained a group of Thompson Park residents have concerns regarding the commercial property on Late 69 7, and B:-.>,.`=:. s) the business going in is a convenience storel b) the the convenience store will have a package liquor store; and c) c'. v ti'.7i^ $ �g ca ,� c — r •ir ,�` t.l f � 0 F ' KENAY CITY COUNCIL - 2 - April 2, 1986 r convenience store will have a gas station in front. He j distributed some material. He has 70 signatures to have a rezone; 60X of the signers are commeraial property owners in - �,:• :� >r' that area. They understood if it went to P & Z, 51% was required. They see it s a public nuisance. Three roads a surround the property - Lupine (a narrow residential road), S ur, and Thompson Place (a small road). Their concerns aret a� there is a real hazardous access to the business, it will be A: open more than the average business time; b) large trucks will ' be parked there making it difficult to serve; c) what will the gas station do to insurance rates in the area? d) at the+:F . Landscape Board meeting, it was aeked if there was adequate buffer zone on three aides, ( the trees in front were removed by - '..,,::• :: - _;-.__ the City last summer, e) Mr. Sandahl suggested an irregularity '. -Thompson Place was completely screened by trees and the entrance was at an angle. The City asked to gain a portion to .1 _- ',.___ straighten the road. They cleared the trees and said it would greatly enhance the property. It enhanced it for the commercial venture. f) Alcoholic Beverage Control floard was contacted. The owner said he notified the people in the area. The people present this date were not notified. g) It is to be located at mile 5.4. When questioned one of the partners Indicated it was to be in Beaver Creek Road. That would be a perfect location and it is for sale. h) When a person applies for a liquor license they have to poet notice. At the Landscape Board Meeting the owner said the sign was visible. It was on a enowmachine trail and was not visible. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board said it was not their problem.p • Q;' `� 'r'_ He did not hear of a public hearing held in the area. i) How does this fit into the comprehensive plan? J) If DOT does not;, allow access on Spur because of the number of feet between'' '.-; - ,."':'_.:;:::;.• Thompson Place and Lupine, there will be access on two aide roads. Is that the kind of safety conditions the City wants tohave in a commercial area? k) The Landscape Board asked the residents in attendance what they thought was an adequate buffer zone. He felt it varied with the type of business. One that was open day and night requires more buffer zone. Unless something is done in short order, the building can be started when the building permit is obtained. He asked if he could go back to P 8 Z and asked if Council would review the problem. °•.: p-": :4; Spencer DeVito, Mile 5.5. Kenai (Box 317. Soldotna) a. The City sent him a letter asking for 287 square feet variance of his property. He was concerned with losing the buffer. He was assured it would be a safer entrance. There would be planting and they would do planning for drainage. They lost all the State trees plus his and exposed him to the highway, it did not benefit him. He would be willing to donate property to keep this from coming in. It wee only possible to use this access because he gave up this property. Mayor Wagoner said the place for this is P 8 Z. 77­ , �.-. /Y. • a -96 t 6AI CITY COUNCIL -3- r April 2, 1986 8-2 Joanne Buzzell - Replacing Vegetation - MAP Project Assessment District Joanne Buzzell. 416 McCollum, Kenai She hoe heard the City has a machine that will dig up trees and plant them. Would Council be willing to replace the trees in her area? Mayor Wagoner said it would have to be reviewed by Administration and the Recreation Committee. He had thought the revegetation there was to be grass. He noted it was not on her property, but on the right of way. Mrs. Buzzell explained It denuded the neighborhood. The trees protected them from noise and duet, and shaded them. Mayor Wagoner said all City projects are reviewed by Council in the Springs they will plan on looking at it. He added the equipment was first used last years they do not know the survival rate. 8-3 Jill Burnett - Replacing Candlelight Extension When Golf Course Lease is in Effect. Jill Burnett. Box 1022, Kenai They are still looking for access past the golf course lands. They thought they reached a solution at a work session, but it seems they have not. Mayor Wagoner reviewed the letter from Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer. He explained the City looked at the property on the Swires end. There would be room on City Property for a right-of-way easement but we would need Corps of Engineers approval because it is wetlands. There is no problem with the State, the problem is stated in Attorney Rogers' letter of August 17, 19839 we have not received approval from the Secretary of Interior. The only access we would have is through the for end of Swirea. Mrs. Burnett said she had a letter from Land Manager Labahn that says Larry Gordon of the State said they will not require the City to dedicate replacement lands. Candlelight is already dedicated. If the City builds a road from the northeast corner of Lot 1 into wetlands on the section line, they will need a permit. The City could build along the bottom of the golf course with a minimum of permits and hassle. If the City comes in from the west end, they have to arose wetlands. To come in from Swires they would be running into swamp. If the City honors their lease to Dick Morgan (for the golf course) they have to give access to the Burnetts. Attorney Rogers stated he would take exception to all Mrs. Burnett's statements and asked for a copy of the memo from Land Manager Labahn. Mayor Wagoner asked Mrs. Burnett if she used Candlelight for access# how did she plan to go across the ravine? Mrs. Burnett replied originally they planned to continue Candlelight along the ridge and bridge the gulley. The golf course hoe br!dged it. Mayor Wagoner asked If Windsor Drive was the section line, answer - no. Mayor Wagoner noted if we give access we may be in violation of Department of Interior requirements. Attorney Rogers explained It can be worked out, but the access may be a street in the middle of the golf course MroL Burnett s id the had established grandfather rights rot a road from ye�irs efore. ..�. �t{'� '_-L'_ era^r'_••rx'.�"�'vnx^`.�,i.v.'-....---xr+Y..-.....-.�.....�.s�•._..,.-,•._...._ - .. 0 il�r .__ _ ,V - -��.�.5•'- _ 's '. .. - - _. _ _ _,_ ___ .. u � 1. `_ -JV .-W KBNAI CITY COUNCIL -4- April 2, 1986 Councilmember Wise sold the Bureau of Outdoor Rocreation passed# in totop rights to Division of Parke and Department of Natural Resources, The Secretary of Interior cannot sign off. Attorneyr Rogers suggested he would ascertain legal access. He will oblsin legal statue from a title company. He understood the City wee not going to incur costs of up-greds. Mrs. Burnett agreed, but if the City covered it For a golf course, they do not went to fix it up. They cannot do a final plat or sell portions because of this. Helen 3onee gave the road to the City with the understanding the City would maintain it. It was not recorded. Councilmember Monfor noted the golf course will only be open four months a year and Burnette had it long before we did. Mayor Wagoner asked if we deny access on Candlelight would there be a right-of-way for Burnette to build a road or would the City build the road? Councilmember Monfor asked why this was not solved before we gave the lease to Mr. Morgan. Attorney Rogers explained the City was acquiescent to public eaeementp not to the Burnette. Council agreed to Attorney Rogers' suggestion to obtain legal statue Pnd requested Council and Mrs. Burnett recieve copies when received. B-4 Liz Schubert, Senior Citizen Day Care Me. Schubert is the program coordinator for the adult day care center. They have been operating for one month and have five people. They hope to have 12 on a regular basis and serve 20 people. The purpose is to help them stay at home ea long as possible; 95% of the people are on Medicare. This provides respite for the families, enhances their quality of life and shows the needs of the elderly are not forgotten. Anchoregep Juneau, Ketchikan, Fairbanks and Chugiak have programs. Councilmember Beilie noted the program is for one year, $809000 grant. One month in a retirement home is $59000 per person. If 12 people were in a retirement home it would be very expensive. Me. Schubert noted that it is herd to institute loved ones; if the family to choose, they prefer to leave them at home.

Irving Crane, 1510 Bumblebee c Kenai. He Is concerned regarding numbleadee Ine vast andp in spite of what the engineer sayev will have to be higher than the plan shows. It should be the some grade as Davidson, They have freeze-up problems there. The ditches have to be filled in. He can see the water running In a different direction then the grade of the road* He suggested building up the east and vast and of Bumblebee and filling in the ditches. 7. C. Bill Nelson g Engineer on the Pro4ect. He agreed partly with Mrs Crane. it Has been reviewed. The original project had 4 1/2 feet ditches. The reason being that they were not parallel to the streets. They do not have to parallel. The build up at the end of Bumblebee can be done regarding the ditch depth* Ditches 2 1/2 feet will have no room for snow storage in winter. it will allow siltation and run-off. It can be made two feet or 18 incheal it will not cost a lot of money compared to raising the road grade. Do DerbNowellKenai. The main objection of y , Hi tne peopie-in the area is raising the ditches and bringing Bumblebee Street up. The pipes have been freezing down there. Councilmember Monfor said at the lost meeting the City discussed paving the road. She asked Mr. Nowell If he had talked to his neighbors regarding shared assessments. Mr. Howell said that he had spoken to some but not all. E. Charles Woodcock, East Allsk Kenai, It had been discussed that the roads woula oe within one Toot of grade before this was started. Mr. Nelson replied for the most part that this was true. Mr* Woodcock sold that a letter sent last year to the residents stated that water and sewer would be on all new lots* His was missed. City Engineer LaShot said that he has not forgotten it. Mr, Crane asked If this road would entail curb and gutter or just road width. Mayor Wagoner replied that It would be up to the �: v people of the assessment district. Councilmember Ackerly asked if they understood that they would have to petition ...... the City* Mayor Wagoner said yes. Mr. Woodcock asked If ad the petition would be from land owners or centers. Mayor Wagoner replied that It would have to be property owners. i7h - V. T" Fo Ards Pace 212 East Allsk, Kenai, Mrs* Pace lives L Detween Linwoso and candleTTgnto 3ne asked If the streets would need raising and If the ditch would be made more shallow. Mr. Nelson explained that section is within one IL UNAT CITY COUNCIL - 6 - April 2, 1986 foot of the prior road grade. They may have to raise the - i culverts already in place. He added that they would be _- bringing the roads to within one foot of the road at the beginning of the project# not the on igal- road. It could be done but It would take a tremendous amount of gravel and would be expenaive. Mr. Nelson said he would check on the T' driveway at ;ace's house. Me. Pace asked about the houses -..:. � - F: °....... between her house and Linwood. Mr. Nelson said he would look at those also. An unnamed lady from the audience asked about the corner of Aliak and Highbush. Mr. Nelson '= said he would check on that also. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

VOTE - AMENDMENT: Motion passed by unanimous consent. VOTE - MAIN MOTION AS AMENDEDt Motion passed by unanimous consent.—`.'LL:...,_, C-2 Discussion on Attorney Rogers' Memo. Attorney Rogers stated his recommendation is the slow -take. Me explained that if we have the slow -take we would not have the;;:-•- proposal until the and of the proceedings. If we take the lip • KENAI CITY COUNCIL Ir • u --- tf - 7 - April 2. 1986 •�. quick -take we would have the property immediately, but would not know what it costa until perhaps the end of the litigation; you will be obligated to buy it. If at the conclusion of the proceedings the judge decides the price is wrong, the Council has the option not to proceed. He could initiate a slow -take and switch if we are in a time crunch. We can not do it at the feet -take. Airport Manager Ernst reported that the pre -application wee filed in November; it has not been approved subject to the feasibility study, but it appears imminent. The transcript of the public hearing has been sent with the agency submittal. Mayor Wagoner suggested we take 60 acres of the 160 on a quick -take and get the rest on a slow -take if needed. Attorney Rogers explained that you can only take as much as is needed by condemnation. It has been deemed that 80 acres are needed. Councilmember Wise stated that it was his impression that to proceed with the Float Basin Pre-App approval we must have an environmental impact statement and control of the land. Airport Manager Ernst replied that he is not sure that we need control as much as the process of acquiring the land. Councilmember Wise stated that the project has been delayed until next year with the slow -take it would be even longer. Mayor Wagoner stated that was his assumption. He asked Airport Manager Ernst how much engineering was required by FAA. Mr. Ernst replied FAA would want to review our design and approve; the rough preliminary is done. He has worked closely with FAA and has indications that they went it done this year. They have back-up with 1984 monies so they could start in mid -summer and continue into the winter. Mayor Wagoner asked if we had requested transfer of ramp extension funds. City Manager Brighton replied that we did not have it in writing. Airport Manager Ernst reported that he had talked to Me. Holland, Coordinator of Grants; she will meet with the project director of DOT. They heard the money will be reallocated by the Legislature; they will try to get it. It will be a monumental task, we already have the money and it will be hard to get it back from us. They will get letters from the DOT director that we have the money, he will talk to them again. Councilmember Monfor asked Airport Manager Ernst how the public hearing came out. Airport Manager Ernst replied that there were 18 attending; five spoke, all said yes. He added that we had ►iuney from the airport fund, if we need money we can use that money to secure the property. We can get an advance on next year's funds. Councilmember Hall noted that we would have to contact the owner. Attorney Rogers replied that he has an Indication that they will not accept this. Councilmember Hall asked that the Council be notified which way it goes as soon as possible, then we will make decision on the quick or slow take. Council agreed to this suggestion. PUBLIC COMMENT# Ruby Coyle. Kenai - A point of order was noted, she asked if unanus cont could be used for a $120,000 allocated rather than a vote of each individual. The Mayor explained that this was just for administration to make a S120,000 offer to the owners. If they accept. administration will come back for an appropriation. Mrs. Coyle noted that when you give an attorney the authority to make an offer, you are tying up the money. Mayor Wagoner explained that until the Council votes there is no money tied up. Mrs. Coyle asked who did the appraisal. Airport Manager Ernst replied by FAA requirements they had two appraisals and one review; Frykholm and Warfle did the appreieale, Alaska Evaluations did the review. Alaska Evaluations Is an MAI appraiser. C-3 Resolution 86-29 - Authorizing Participation in State Day Care Assistance. NOTION: VOTE: Councilmember Monfor moved, seconded by Councilmember Hall, for approval of the resolution. Councilmember Bailey asked how many day care centers were in Kenai, including the one that closed. Councilmember Wlee stated that one will reopen.

The time th:Bproject was started they had Suzanne Little in the offices 6 utification Committee has reviewed three schemes for this area. They felt this one so proposed is the best. Suzanne Little reviewed the proposal to the Council. The land area is flat with strong winds from the north. She suggested cribbing two to three feet high around the perimeter, of railroad tie material. A retainage wall would be used to hold up eight foot berms and planting on tope There would be a sidewalk on the perimeter. There would be a turn -around for airport access and a sign stating the types of plants. A dry creek bed In the center with river rock. Walkways would be covered with 0-1 crushed gravel. An evergreen forest would be on the north and deciduous would be on the south to bring In sunshine* The open areas would be seeded with native flowers and native gross.

Counoilmember Ackerly asked how big the trees are initially. Me. Little replied six to eight feet. Councilmember Ackerly noted that it will take 15 years for them . to grow.

Regarding the Cost - If the City could acquire a fill, it would = = ry decrease the initial $969000 cost. Mayor Wagoner asked how = much of this could be done by our summer crews. Mr. Gintoli noted that this was supposedto go out to bid with the Airport paving. City Manager Brighton stated that if we are going to -- spend that kind of money we should have a Landscape artist. Mayor Wagoner noticed a Landscape artist just advisee, he does _ not do the work. City Manager Brighton replied that City crews . do this, we have no guarantee. n..." No action was taken by Council. G-6 Discussion - Spenard Building Supply tie into City storm ;..v'. drains. City Engineer LaShot explained information on this is in the ~� packet. Spenard Building Supply could do this but it would not _ be as easy as they thought. They would have to run a storm drain across Redoubt. The one they wanted to use was a sanitary sewer. City Manager Brighton asked if we had heard_ -= from Spenard Builder Supply. Answer, no. Mayor Wagoner noted this does not have to come back to Council. _., H REPORTS H-1 City Manager City Manager Brighton spoke: s.

He would like to have a work session regarding the pre-school and the Senior Citizen Day Care use of Fort Kenay. He would like to have Council and the two groups meet. Councilmember Monfor suggested this could be worked out by administration. She noted that kids were more flexible then the seniors. Councilmember Bailey stated when we accepted the grant for the Senior Day Care we said we would provide a place; the Recreation Center to not acceptable. She suggested that this could be done administratively. One problem in the Teen Center is that the materials from Little League are in the store room. Recreation Director McGillivray, City Manager Brighton and Councilmember Bailey went into the facility. The prob;ems with the Senior Citizen Day Care using the Roc Center are the posters are a problemp the surroundings were upsetting them. They would work better in a cozy environment. Preschoolers need more room and a more central location. Preschool is more closely associated with Toone that would be using the facility. The Seniors will have to have transportation Thursday and Friday of this week. That is difficult for them. She also asked if we wanted to lease a non-profit organization such as preschool. It was tentative at the beginning. Councilmember Hall noted that the work session would give the Council a chance to hear both sides. Council agreed to a work session on April 8p 19869 at 600 p.m. Councilmember Ackerly asked that a standard for Commissions and Committees alsu be discussed.
