just brush. He would like it done so the seniors could look
out and the tourists can look in. The city can trio under
the trees.
Alsop the City Hail does not have a flag. Many places do,
but the City Hall does not. The flags at the Senior Center
have been *talon* Dona blame it all on the cannery

PUBLIC COMMENTt
a. Clint Hall# Box 2929Kenai. He is representing the
Homebuildere Assn. Their concerns aces 1) Total
buildfng area cannot exceed 30%t that is small. They
propose 4051 over 1200' living area. 2) Minimum lot
width is 43deep. They recommend changing the set
v'

Page 3
backs to 1019 is S' now for one story= 15' for two
story. Some zero lot lines are 18'-20' wide. As long
so there are set backs, it would be okay. Councilman
Wise asked if this was discussed at the P&Z meeting.
Mr. Hall said he spoke one time regarding the minimum
lot width and increased set back. Councilwoman Beilie
asked if any set beck regulations pertain to town
houses. Building Inspector Hackney explained, town
hat
house and zero lot line are 2 different things*
is why you have to have a conditional use permit, there
is no side yard. Councilman Hall said even under the
few zero lot lines we have we require aide yards of S'
for one story, 15' for two story. 45' minimum lot
would be 72' now. Clint Hall suggested if we could do
away with the lot width we could increase the lot size
to 14,000'-
b. Mark Passe, 2450 Sunrise, Kenai. This is the same
ordinance they objected to with P&Z in 83-84. His
concerns area 1) Zero lot lines require a special use
permit. He does not see why we have it. A duplex hoe
none of these requirements. 2) Zero lot line hoe pride
of ownership. 3) If you go to Kenai and see the
subdivisions you will see very few 90' lots. 4) 40% vs
30% building area. The best proposal would be to get
the Homebuilders Aeon. to work with P&Z with what is
best for all of us. Zero lot line gives better use of
money and lees expensive homes. Farm Home is out now,
this gives them something that is better.
c. Jim Benson, Box 2469 -rnei. He agrees with the other
builders. He does not understand why zero lot line
would be treated differently than duplex. The
difference is they have pride in -ownership. With the
new tax laws you may not see 4-plexes, 6-plexes and
apartment houses. You have to look at people that do
not make a lot of money and cannot afford a large
house. He Pelt this was discriminatory.
Councilman Wise said this has been before P&Z for almost s
year. There were scheduled public hearings. It is
regrettable the Homebuilders Aeon. could not come to P&Z and
make issue at that time. This was done to preclude
some things that have been poorly applied to zero lot lines.

the ordinance.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
e. 31m Benson, Kenai. If the ordinance does not follow
lending Institution requirements, it will be impossible
for a builder to build a town house. The City should
'
check into FHA and Alaska Housing ordinances on town
houses. He suggested checking to see if their
ordinances would stop somebody from developing a town
house project. Each town house will be 2,000 eq- ft.
that is
°
FHA and Alaska Housing do not want much space

JUNE 49 1986
Page 4
not common land, then the town house seen, does not
have control. One person may not take care of their
home. He tried to give more area and they told him he
could not. They only allow a certain amount of area
and the rest has to be common ground. The minimum
width of a town house is 241. Where did the City come
up with 24' and why?
b. Mark Paese, Kenai. The author of this was Jeff Lebahn,
in 1983. If it was recently before PhZ he was unaware
of it. He agreed w4th Mr. Benson. Town houses are
developed for moderate income houses. 240 makes this
unreasonable to get any depth. You cannot buy 24'
plane. It would be best to look into other codes that
are more adaptable. 20' would be better, 160 is too
narrow.
c. Jim Benson. He built his 20' wide and 1900 sq. ft.,
24' wide or 2000 sq. ft. without garages. 24' on one
floor would be small. Costs would be higher then two
story.
d. Clint Hall, Kenai. The Homebuildere Aeon. recommends
doing away with 24' minimum, they recommend 2019 15'
set back. Total building area not to exceed 30%# would
be 600' on main floor. That is not very large, it
should be revised. 40% would 800 eq. ft.
Councilman Hall said he wondered why there would be a
minimum lot width when they have to go to P&Z anyhow. You
are looking more at compatibility with the City than size.
It should be evaluated on a case by case basis. As land
values get higher, they will become more popular, but not
now. Mayor Wagoner suggested a work session with Council,
P&Z and the Homebuildere Aeon, Councilmen Hall suggested
getting FHA and FNMA guide lines for the work session.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. Marian Davis, Spur Hwy., Kenai. She had a concern
about the senior citizen budget. She asked how many of
the Council members had read it. Mayor Wagoner
replied, all have read it. Mrs. Davis replied, none of
the seniors have had a chance to read it. Mayor
Wagoner noted Council has had at least 5 public
hearings. Mrs. Davis noted it was on the Consent
Agenda at the lest meeting, there was no public
comment. She added, their budget keeps increasing.
There is concern about what the budget will be in the
future. There is a problem with the Soldotna seniors.
She can understand sports competition between 2 cities,
but when we get.senior groups against each other, that
is another thing. A lot of the increase is to have
money to fight the Soldotna group, $1259000 to service
Soldotna. Mayor Wagoner said this does not pertain to
this budget. Mrs. Davis said the budget has a large
amount to go into Soldotna to give them the same thing
they could provide themselves for lose money. She did
not like politics entering into this. She was
concerned that she was out of order. Mayor Wagoner
replied she wee not out of order. Councilwoman Beilie
said the Older Alaskans Commission made the decision
that the meal program wee adequate. The blame should
not be to Kenai or Soldotna. Both pros and cons were
presented to Older Alaskans Commission. Mrs. Davie
replied they have not made their decision yet$ it will
be 6-5-65. The seniors talked to Mr. Howard and Mr.
Van Der Hyde when they were here. They are not
advisors. They were told that Soldotne did not want
their own center. There is a need for both cities to
have a center. There is a lot in the budget that
could be cut out. Mayor Wagoner replied, very little
could be cut out, they are State and Borough funds.
Councilman Wise explained, the budget prepared for
Council Is only a proposal. We will not know the
amounts till later. The Governor has not signed the
budget yet. The City wee encouraged by Order Alaskans
Commission to continue the programs on board. There Is
obvious conflict between seniors' projects in Kenai and
Soldotne. When Older Alaskans Commission makes a
decision, they will make a determination if the
out -reach program will stay. Mrs. Davie noted we
started to help Nikiaki but it fell apart, but we could
not stop Soldotne. She wanted to hear Council gay they
had approved the increased amount.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfort
to smsiod Ordinance 1136-86 by decreasing the General fund
Operating budget by $42,4709 and by increasing the Senior
Citizen Funds budget by $694914 and to amend the budget
detail as provided in the Fine as Dirsotor's memo of
May 22, 1966.
Councilwoman stills said this is the only area in the City
budget' whets there to only one full time paid employee.
This individual is in chOroe-of 2 employees and 45
volunteere.. We need another full time employee. A report
on the first quarter* 198E, shows almost all goals not have
been reached. This sres of service is growing by leaps and
bounds. Councilman Hall asked, if we pass the amendment,
what would the general fund amount be? Finance Director
Brown replied $6,270,927. Mayor Wagoner esid, with a
a decrease of $100#000 in State Municipal Assistance and
$100,000 in State Revenue Shering what would the new mill
rate be? Mr. Brown replied, a mi l is $300,000, it would be

2/3 mill. We are increasing by .8 mill, about $200,000.
Councilmen Hall asked, if we set the budget at $6 Million,
will our General Fund revenue be the same? Mr. Brown
replied, $355#000 will come from Fund Balance, based on 2.7
mills. Mayor Wagoner said we only appropriate $355,000 this
year, we appropriated $7009000 last year. Our fund balance
Is bigger this year than last year. Mr. Brown said we will
not use most of the $700#000 this year. Councilmen Hall
asked, after the year is done, we will have a balanced
budget without using the fund balance? Mr. Brown replied
yea, we are budgeting Municipal Assistance differently. We
are using more this year. We underestimated loot year, it
was =1,055,000. City Manager Brighton asked if we would dip
Into the fund balance for the flight service station.Anewer-
no. Councilman Measles said revenue and interest does come
back to fund balance and we will not have that. Councilman
Wise said he had a problem with appropriating for capitAl
improvements. We have over $1 Million, we should not include
It in the budget.

F-1 Burnett/Golf Course Report
City Manager Brighton said he talked to Dick Morgan# he is
objecting to both alternates regarding the voodoo He is
agreeable to re -aligning the land alloted in his lease to
permit home building lots adjacent to the highway# %0' to
150' lots. We will have to review this with the attorney.
Portions of that land belong to the City. Some we ere
pursuing to make a trade. Councilwoman Sallie sekedq how
will that affect Candlelight Ext.? Were we going to propose
late at the end of the golf course? He. Brighton replied
no, parallel to Lawton. Candlelight Ext, Is the portion he
has option on. He wants to let Candlelight remain because
It interferes with the golf course if it is extended. He
does not have the responsibility to provide access on his
propearty. Atty. Rogers said Council has had his
recommendation.. The 8urnetts do not have an easement, they
have no valid protective right to egress. They have
,maintained they do. Council wanted to provide them access.
There was an opportunity for them to perfect. It was
established that it was not perfected. If Council wants to
.provide-dcoese, they can, but it cannot be provided in
derogation of another. Councilwoman Sallie said Council
direction was to work out a compromise by providing paved
road and selling lots on each side. Atty. Rogers sold a
compromise would be those having possessive interest to
Jesse holder and those wanting easement. Councilwoman
Sadie said if one won't work, she would like to try to do
the other. Mayor Wagoner asked Mr. Morgan if he had 18
holes designed and the first 9 almost done. Answer - yea.

Mayor Wagoner asked, how tied is he to the last 9? Could he
work out a trade with land? Could he develop the back 9?

Mr. Morgan said he does not have a choice. If he puts in 18
holes, he will not have enough room* in designing the
courses there is no excess room. He cannot construct the.
facility he said he would if the City puts in a toed. Mayor
Wagoner suggested if he had the same acreage or more, they
have 2 alternatives. Mr. Morgan replied, that would be
most
o'
okay, but he doubted if they would. Mayor Wagoner said
of what Burnetts have is cleared, the rest by the ravine wee
v _-
burned. That may be an alternative. Councilman Wise said
the City may not have a legal obligation but has a moral
'
one. This is what we wanted to do.
Council agreed to have the three parties meet. Councilman
_
Hall asked to bring a map for Council to review.

F-2 E. Garnett Camper Park Proposal
City Manager Brighton reported Councilwoman Bailie,
Councilmen Wise and Mr. Brighton had a meeting with Mr.
`
Garnett regarding the 2-3 acres behind Craycroft Chrysler
for a camper park. He needs 700'-900' water & sewer lines
down Marathon Rd. It is the concensue that there would not
be any construction till next year. We need to get a
relesee, plat, appraisal. Councilman Wise had suggested
r
that water & sewer could be paid with airport funds as it
would enhance airport property. We agreed to go ahead, get
the site plan together and pursue using airport funds for
water & sewer. Land for that purpose would have to have •
low appraisal to make it economically feasible. Since it Is
-- = -_------- =
land fill it would be a low appraisal. Mayor Wagoner noted
he has heard the statement that you cannot put a building on
land fill. It is done in the States. Architect Gintoli
agreed. Mayor Wagoner said he did not think the appraiser
would make a low appraisal. Councilwoman Bailis suggested
looking Into the possibility of the little league fields on
Spruce. Water 6 Sewer are there. Then turn Marathon area
>--`
Into ball fields. Councilman Measles said that area would
have attraction then Marathon. It is close to town and
more
the beach and will be on a paved street. Councilwoman
Sallie said Marathon Rd. is good industrial park area. We
have talked about leveling and grass in that area. She
suggested a work session with Mr. Garnett, Mayor Wagoner
little
asked how the Jesse value would be established. The
league fields are not airport land. Councilman visa said we
would have to swap lands it is restricted use. Mayor
Waggoner Baked if RFP was needed. Finance Director Brown
said he thought the resolution setting 6% return says all
city londs,.not airport lands. Councilman Measles
--
fust
said it would at it be classified as park area. Recreation

Director McGillivray sold any changes made in any projects
have to go through a process for approval of change of,.�

concentrate them in one area. Cutting the grass would be a
large project, this does not make sense. Councilwoman
Bailie said she was not sure a camper park would take the
whole area. Some fields could remain. Mr. Garnett felt he
could accommodate them. Mr. Brighton suggested getting input
from Rec Commission. Mayor Wagoner said we have awarded the
contract for up -grade on Spruce and fixing up the parking
lots. He would like to see what has been put in and whet we
would have to pay for moving. Councilmen Measles noted the
City has spent a small amount of the total amount spent.

Councilman Hall noted Anchorage Is not listed, what is the
reason? Councilwoman Bailie noted the Borough is a member,
what basis are they paying? Mayor Wagoner noted the City
tried to piggy -back with the Borough but could not. City
Manager Brighton noted Kenai people are paying 600. Mayor
Wagoner asked to check if the membership is out of cities
only.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
G-5 Approval - Temporary Certificate of Occupancy - King Oscar
Hotel
Mayor Wagoner noted, the certificate has already been
issued. Atty. Rogers explained) he would like Council to
ratify the action of Acting City Manager Brown regarding
temporary certificate. He distributed this date a memo
reviewing the discrepancy between the original proposal and
the approved proposal regarding landscaping. City Manager
Brighton noted this is to approve temporary occupancy, not
landscaping. Atty. Rogers replied, the 9 month certificate
was to complete landscaping. The Council has 2 questione,
1) to approve the extension and 2) what plan will they
approve. The authority lay with Council, not
Administration. Building Inspector Hackney expleinedv he
would not have issued the permit if he had been there. The
landscaping is now complete and he has issued a permanent
certificate. But this brings up a serious problem with the
ordinance. If they had come to Council, they might have
received the 9 months temporary certificate, he might have
been reluctant to give 9 months for something that may not
be by Code. The only way they could get approval would be
by special meeting. If not, he would have to go to court to
close them. Atty. Rogers suggested amending it to "up to 9
months" and "at the discretion of Administration."
Council Zook no action.

0.8 Sand for Airport Projects
Airport Manager Ernst said he talked to FAA Planning, they
said the send could not be used for any off -airport projects
because ift at some later date any project was done on the
airport and we had used the fill for another projoct; Me
would have to buy fill. They are trying to protect it for
airport use. Councilman Measles said if our next project is
the float plane basin, what will we do with the fill we take
out? Mr. Ernst replied, fill the lowland area at the west
side for additional lease spaces. City Manager Brighton
noted there is some there now. Approx. a year ago they said
we could let someone take sand out of there for off -airport
use, such as Fred Meyer, but we would have to charge SO per
yard. Now we cannot do that. Mr. Ernst added, FAA will
follow up with a letter.
No action taken by Council.

negligible effect. They are mostly in private areas
