PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. Marko Zurek, Rt. 1, Box 1225, Kenai, representing Doyle.
The original lease applications showed future development
for a 3 year building process starting this year. This
year there would be gas pumps and outdoor car wash. In the
future there would be a quick lube.
Atty. Clark, representing Yamamoto. He objected, they were
dealing with a different lease application than the
original. This was not decided by P&Z. Mayor Wagoner
explained this is within the process. It was before P&Z as
a concept application.
Mr. Zurak continued. Total added is 33 sq. ft. for a cost
of $285,000,
b, Bob Gagnon, Box 11120, Kenai. He explained he was an i.
interested party. He asked if it was a full service
station. Mr. Zurek replied no, self-service for gas,
full -service for lube. He added, with the present mill
rate, it would mean $1,750. Using the estimate of bulk
dealers for sales, on a 65,000 gallon per month figure,
there would be $399000 sales tax. Kenai gets 60:,
$15,000 to the Borough. The City would receive 1.08 for
each oil change. There would be 6 new employees. Kenai
has had a 47% growth rate since 1978. We have not had any
additional service stations. It would benefit the
community and be a better use for the lot then an office
complex.

Mr. Zurek continued. The airport noise would interfere
i at that location for an office. It would not be a problem
for a gas station. There are stations and a restaurant near
by. It would enhance the location.
i� Atty. Clark asked if he would use metal buildings, Mr. Zurek
replied the outside would be metal. ;
c. Pat Doyle, Rt. 1, Box 12250 Kenai. The new addition would
work with what they have now. Mr. Zurek added, most; of the
work would be done by 1985, the paving and landscaping would '
be done in 1986.

Mr. Yamamoto's cost would ba $750,000. Office space and
retail would employ 20 people. He has written airport master
plans, Mr. Yamamoto's use is not in conflict. Safety and use
are considerations. Where the lot is located, office space
would be acceptable and not adverse to the airport.
Regarding demand, Mr. Yamamoto has had interest expressed on
office and commercial basis, the demand is there. Regarding
relation to existing use, the Comprehensive Plan is for
guidelines, not rules. It was also recommended gas stations
be at major intersections. The use as proposed is
compatible with the neighborhood. The landscaping fits in
with the area. He went to FAA and asked what they wanted in
a building. Mr. Strickland said he would prefer no
building, but would rather see Mr. Yamamoto. If it is a
metal building, it affects landing patterns. Mr. Doyle
proposed a metal building. P&Z has not seen Doyle's future
proposal.
Atty. Nash, representing Doyle, objected. The guidelines
said they could be amended and the chair rules it
acceptable. Mr. Yamamoto's plan is new also. Mayor
Wagoner ruled it was not out of order.
Councilwoman Bailie asked, when would construction begin?
Atty. Clark replied, they would have to have the lease
application and determine financing. Alaska Business
Development Corp. reviewed this date. The Code requires 2
years to develop. He would anticipate they will be well
within the 2 year period.
e. Bob Gagnon. He counted 7 stations in the City and 5
within a mile of the City. The Time Saver is #8. He
_. disagreed with the 65,000 figure. 309000 gallons used to be
"making it." He has not been getting 65,000 gallons and he
has a full and self-service. Full service would be 6 pumps.
There is one major station going out of business now who is
$70,000 do -en at this time. Every time one goes out it
->- affects t;tn City. Atty. Nash asked Mr. Gagnon to identify
his business and position. Mr. Gagnon replied he was owner
and operating manager of the Texaco station. He was
speaking as an independent. Atty. Nash asked how do the
tax moneys affect him? Mr. Gagnon replied, sales tax. The
J. ( Borough is the last one to foreclose and businesses pay
_ them last. That is usually the largest bill. Everyone who
goes out of business owes the Borough when they go out.
Mayor Wagoner asked Mr. Yamamoto if he agreed with what his
- - attorney has said. Mr. Yamamoto replied yes.
Atty. Rogers reviewed procedures for decision.

Special meeting adjourned at 600 PM.
