B. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
6-1 Ed Call
a. Cook Inlet View Dr. Fence, Lilac St.
b. Zoning of Mobile Homes
a. Ed Call, 1201 Lilac, Kenai. What has the City learned
about the Cook Inlet View Drive fence? Mayor Wagoner
replied, as for as he knew, this is a Civil matter. It is
not City proparty, there is no dedicated road. Atty.
Rogers said he has received the litigation report, and some
old documents. Nothing has been done at thin time. He will
review with Land Manager Labahn. We may need some surveys.
Mr. Cell said this has been going on for many years, he was
not satisfi&d with that answer. Councilwoman Bailie asked,
what is the main objection to the fence? The bluff is
scary without a barrier. Mr. Call said there has been only
one vehicle go off, this was his own fault. There was a
cable across there at one time. It is on a section line
Illegally.
b. The zoning of mobile homes. The way it is now, it
alienates one aide of town for normal growth. This is
showing on Section 36 now. If there was an accident at
Wildwood intersection, there would be no way to get
emergency vehicles to the North Rd. or from North Rd. to
town. Growth is being forced toward the high school. He is
trying to set up a mobile home sales business in Soldotna.
The wholesale dealers say there is no place to put them. He
cannot get anyone to talk to him from Anchorage, there must
be a reason. It should be up to the subdivisions to decide
on mobile homes. Mayor Wagoner noted any area that in
zoned urban residential cannot have mobile homes. Thane
that are already there cannot be sold or enlarged. Mr. Call

He asked that Council take a look at the zoning ordinance.

Council agreed to refer this to P&Z.
8-2 Architect Carmen Gintoli - Library Expansion
This is an up -date on construction costs. There is 5,148
sq, ft. addition off the south end. There are provisions for
an elevator. With the larger size, they will need more
bathrooms. Cost estimates base bid for lot floor is
$4869615. It would be complete with elevator, electricity &
roof ready. $329,514 for 2nd floor. $816,129, total
construction costs. Contingency of 10: or $819612.
Total - $897,741. There is no money for furnishings. It
does not include re -roofing the existing building, the
arctic entry or additional parking. Parking is adequate as
is. There will be bidding in our favor, the post office
building contractor will be bidding. He hopes to go out to
bid in the next few weeks. They will give the contractor
360 days to build, so he may not start till Spring. They
have to be out to bid in 90 days from June 27. If they
start in the Spring and cost of supplies increase, they
will not increase costs.
No action was taken by Council.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 15, 1984
Page 3
Atty. Rogers explained, this would allow - but is not
mandatory - forfeiture of signs. This would not apply to
signs in the right-of-way, those would be removed.
VOTE, Amendment (Passed):
Yeas Measles, Monfor, Wagoner, Ackerly, Bailie, Hall
Not Wise
MAYOR WAGONER RESUMED THE CHAIR.
Councilman Ackerly asked if this affects signs in drive -
through restaurants and banks. Atty. Rogers explained the
audio is for advertising, not for transacting business.
Councilman Ackerly asked, what is the penalty for political
signs not removed. Atty. Rogers replied, they will be
contacted first.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. Fred Braun. He does not live in the City, but does
business in the City. He commended Council and
Administration on how well the City looks. In his
area, a sign was ordered and was damaged when received.
They had a temporary sign put up. Would a variance
cover this? Atty. Rogers replied,it could be applied
for, but the chances of getting a variance are slim, in
view of the feeling of Council and the public. Mr.
Braun asked if the 16 ft. pertained to the top of the
sign, Atty. Rogers replied yes. Mr. Braun asked if
movable letters could be glued and the sign could be
hung to make it legal. Atty. Rogers replied, there
will be problems, they may have to be contested in the
courts. Mr. Braun said he did not see inflatable signs
(such as blimps) listed. Atty. Rogers replied, he did
not know.
b. Ed Call. He asked how this would affect the menus by a
drive -through restaurant. He noted blimps are over
$12,000. Atty. Rogers replied, menus are to facilitate
orders, but are not for advertising. Councilman Wise
noted wall signs are legal.
c. Polly Crawford. What about Christmas music? Atty.
Rogers replied it may be an audio sign, we may need a
variance.
d. Linda Munsterman. What about Church chimes and the ice
cream truck? Atty. Rogers replied, the Church is a
Federal question. The ice cream truck may have to have
a variance.
e. Connie Keevil. There are signs on the 3 gas stations
on Willow. (she reviewed what they said) That is not
what we want to see in the City.
f. Building Inspector Hackney. Blimps are covered in the
Code. An electric sign on a pole is legal, it is not
portable. It can light, but not flesh. Mayor Wagoner
added, as long as it is not in the right -of -ray. Mr.
Hackney said holiday decorations do not need a permit,
by Code. A restaurant menu is not covered by the Code
and is not visible from the highway. He asked, what
fiscal year will be used? Mayor Wagoner replied, the
City fiscal year. Councilman Wise asked if painting a
wall sign on a building is okay. Mr. Hackney replied,
yea, but just for the business on the property.
Councilman Wiae noted on houseu for sale by owner, he
has to take down his sign in one week. That is
unreasonable. Atty. Rogers said we can amend the Code.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 15, 1984
Page 4
They will not cite owners with small signs. Mr. Hackney
noted, if this ordinance is passed, enforcement will be
up to Council. The first one that ignores the notice,
it is given to the attorney, and he does not have time
to enforce, the ordinance is dead.
NOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to amend
the ordinance on page 6, item g-19, line 3, delete the word
"or", add a comma; line 4, delete the period and add the
words "or owner."
Atty. Rogers said signs with a permit do not have a time
limit, he did not see the necessity of amending.' This is
modeled after the National Code.

C-3 Ordinance 962-84 Amending Zoning Map - Lawton Acres S/D
MOTIONS

adopt the substitute ordinance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. ferry Wilson, 201 Pamela Ct., Kenai. He is interested
in wildlife. There have been a number of trees cut
down. He is concerned about the beauty of the area.
The majority of the people in the area are concerned.
We do not have a surplus of area zoned for
conservation. He supports the conservation area.
b. Tommy Thompson, Ill Paula, Kenai. We have a bowling
alley, shopping area, apartments in the area. Central
Hts. is growing. The moose range side is medium to
high development. He would like to see an area set
aside for people and moose. Let's save a few "sanity"
trees. Let's not "Los-Angelesize" this area. It is an
active moose area. Is a natural portage between the
flats and the moose range. Water h sewer are a
problem, they are across Lawton. It will be an
additional cost for small lots. They are close to the
highway. The quality is not that high. There are
other lands available. This is an old fire training
ground, there is a lot of garbage - chemicals, oils -
dumped there. There could be a potential liability.
If we develop we do not have a 2nd chance.
c. Mourie Wilson, 201 Pamela Ct., Kenai. Council has not
taken into consideration that a lot of people who live
far from this area like to come here because it is in
its natural habitat. When she was in Seattle, there
was a large park left in its natural habitat. It would
be of value to the whole city.
d. Pat Shackleton, 420 Lawton. Council has taken into
consideration the future children. She works in the
hospital and helps deliver about 60 children a month.
We need a place for them to play. There are a lot of
ME
M
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

little people coming into Kenai. If there is not a
safe place for them to play, there is the potential for
someone to get hurt.
Of Chris Carson, 1117-2nd, Kenai. She lives 4 miles from
Lawton Acres, but she has an interest in the quality of
life in Kenai. If we take all the trees, it will look
like down town Soldotna. Traffic is already bad with
the high school there. This will make it more
hazardous.
f. Howard Hackney, Kenai. He would like a green belt.
There was never any development planned for that area.
No water & sewer was put on that side. The contractor
paved it because there were no driveways there.
g. Jerry Hansen, 107 Paula, Kenai. He would like the
approach to be a place for people to drive to. The new
mall showed the impact of tearing down trees. There
were many calls on that. A green belt is important.
Soldotne is gravel, paving, etc. This was recommended
by Roe. Comm. and P&Z with one dissenting vote. The
City does not need the building lots at this time.
Hundreds of lots will be available soon in Section 36.
If the City develops these, they will find they are
pretty thin. Those on the highway will be looking into
their back yards. Some day the highway will be 4-lane.
Zubeck is the contractor for water do sewer in that
area. He said it would be costly to put grater & sewer
in that strip. It would tear up many trees. Mr.
Hansen counted 11 people in attendance supporting the
green strip.
h. Connie Keevil, 203 Amber Ct., Kenai. She had heard
mention that the City might strike a deal, they may
concede Lhis parcel if the Chrysler dealership goes
through. That shouldn't make any difference. The speed
with which the City had a meeting for the car dealer
shows their interest. The City planners itl Seattle had
the foresight to keep a park. In Anchorage the people
had the foresight to keep a park strip. There is a
potential for growth in Kenai. She would hope this
Council would be remembered for saving the land. The
parcel between Rogers and the high school is State
land. She asked Council consideration for a
conservation zone. If Council voted to keep this, it
would influence the State.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to
= amend the ordinance, in the heading, line 2, change the lot
numbers to 1-29; Section 1, line 1, change the lot numbers
Ito 1-29.
Mayor Wagoner explained, the deal (mentioned by Connie
Keevil) was not between Council and anybody else. He had
said he would offer that, if it is commercial on one side,
he would not object to Iota 1-16 conservation.

MOTION:

to adopt the resolution.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
a, Fred Braun. Would this affect the annual fireworks
display? Atty. Rogers replied, a public display is
omitted, Fire Chief Winston noted they must get a
permit from the Fire Dept,
b, Fire Chief Winston, One of the main functions of the
Fire Dept. is fire prevention. They spend many hours
determining the cause of fires. Fireworks are the
cause of many fired, they are definitely a fire
hazard. The fire depts. investigate causes and bring
back to the community proposals for action, The Fire
Fighters associations have tried in vain to get a ban.
They are afraid the community will wait for a mayor
disaster. He would urge the City to pass this and pass
it on to the Borough to show them the City has an
interest in the entire Borough. National statistics
show a great number of injuries. Mayor Wagoner asked
for a written report from Chief Winston and the fire
chiefs so he can testify at the Borough. Councilman
Ackerly noted Mayor Wagoner had suggested a two week
sale and use period.

C-15 Liquor License Application - Sandra Daniels
Councilman Wise said the application listed 4 owners.
Atty. Rogers replied he had not seen the application. The
problem is, we are trying to get on the premises. They need
affirmative action by Council. With approval of the lease
we are giving approval of the liquor license. He was not
aware of four people on the license. The reason we have
this now is because of the short notice we received.
Normally we require public hearing. The Code speaks of
"may," not "shall" have public hearing. We have extenuating
circumstances.
MOTIONS
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to
approve in the name of Sandra Daniels as sole party of the
license.
Mayor Wagoner said our best interest is to let her get in
here as soon as possible. That is not our concern, only if
she elects to sell. We control through the lease now.
Atty. Rogers said one of the names on the license has
interest in the liquor license. ABC requires listing all
those involved. Councilman Wise said there is a problem
with the lease. Sub -leasing o: other ownership has to go to
Council. Only ones listed are Sandra Daniels and her
daughter. If they want to, he has no problem, but let theca
be in the lease. The public has a right to be protected. We
have gone on record that we want individual signatures on
everything. This does not seem exactly up -front. They
should not be party to one and not the other. Maya: Wagoner
said one has nothing to do with the other. The City has
nothing to do with the liquor license. Atty. Rogers agreed,
just the lease apace only.

NOTION, Amendment:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to amend
the ordinance to delete the Water & Sewer Fund and !airport
Land System Fund transfers, in the amount of approximately
$2139010.
Councilman Wise explained, both water & sewer and airport
lands funds are special revenue funds. The land fund is not
broke and has no reason to go into federal revenue. The
water & sewer fund is not special revenue in every essence,
it is self-sufficient. It has an excess fund balance of
about $200,000. He does not see a reason for people who do
not use the system to subsidize the system. Mayor Wagoner
asked, why do we need to buy a vacuum & power water jet
truck instead of renting? Public Works Director Kornelis
explained, it costs $870000 to rent. Councilman Wise noted
there is a salary appropriation listed. Councilwoman Monfor
asked why the library was left with nothing. City Manager Brighton
b3id this is for introduction and suggested a work session
to discuss the changes. Councilwoman Bailie suggested
letters from Dept. heads justifying their requests. Mayor
Wagoner added, on items over $2,500.
Council agreed to the requests.

Hanger h Hotel
MOTION:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
approve the application.
Councilman Wise suggested the lease should be separated, one
for the hanger and one for the hotel. Councilman Ackerly
noted the application does not mention the hotel.
Councilman Wise suggested Administration recommend to the
applicant that it be platted into 2 parcels and the leases
divided. Mayor Wagoner said the FAA manager is adamantly
opposed to the hotel. We should be prepared to push this.
Councilwoman Monfor noted we have much development that is
not related to the airport. City Manager Brighton explained
FAA had said they are not going to buy land back. By that
they meant FAA had paid $1.9 Million for a hotel for one
airport. They are not in a position to approve a project
that is unrelated to airport that FAA may have to
re -purchase in the future. He added, we are negotiating for
other things this may color. We want to move towers,
release land on Spur and Airport Way. He did not want to
jeopardize that. Councilman Measles said with the
possibility of growth we are anticipating, this will be
coming to a head anyhow. This would be a good time. Mayor
Wagoner suggested going after transfer of land and tower
first, then to the application.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.

1, PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
a, Ed Call, Kenai, Regarding the fence on Cook Inlet
View Dr, They were supposed to have a firm answer
at this meeting. Atty. Rogers replied, that is
private property, this is a civil matter. Mr. Call
asked, why was the engineer down there assisting?
Mayor Wagoner said he was called down, but was not
assisting. Mr. Call said he was present, knowing it
was a section line. Public Works Director Kornelis
explained, he was called by George Miller, who asked
if he could run the fence on City property. He told
Mr. Miller he wanted no part of it. They wanted to put
it on Section 36. Mr. Call said this is a section
line, Mayor Wagoner said there are many section lines
in the City. If an individual fences, the City has
nothing to do with it. If it was on City property, the
City would be involved. Atty. Rogers explained, at
this point we are tryinr, to establish the owner. We
may have to survey all the property in the area. There
may be some expenditure of money.
Calvin Quandt, Kenai. The City iv maintaining Cook
Inlet View Dr. If it is not City property, why is the

drive off the bluff. They are used ae a warning. The
City put a wall at the end of Forest and it does not
keep vehicles off. Councilman Ackerly noted boulders
are cheaper. Mayor Wagoner directed Administration to
look into this and report back.
