B-It Ordinance 421-78, Declaring public nuisances exist on certain parcels
Mayor O'Reilly read Ordinance 421-78 by title only. "An ordinance declaring that
public nuisances exist on certain parcels of real property within the City of Kenai."
City Manager Wise reported that the following structures are to be determined
for abatement: miscellaneous debris and materials on Lot 18., Block S, Kenai Townsite
and miscellaneous debris and materials on Lot 10, Block S, Kenai Townsite.
Mayor O'Reilly opened the hearing to the public for comment:
Will Jahrig - stated that he was the owner of the property in question and the materials
stored on the lots. Mr. Jahrig reported that he had hauled approximately 15 ton of
materials away from the lots to date and was in the process of selling a great deal of
the remaining materials to an individual from Anchorage. Mr. Jahrig stated that he
felt they had made considerable improvements to the property and was in the process
of adding on to the building and at completion of construction would utilize one lot
for parking. Mr. Jahrig reported that he had hoped to complete the remodeling project
this summer prior to returning to school, however, his business commitments have caused
considerable delays. Mr. Jahrig stated that he would retain the saleable merchandise
but would have the debris and miscellaneous items Off the lot by the abatement date
of September 2, 1978.
Mrs. Sandra Vozar - stated that she lived across the street from the property in question
and did comment that Mr. Jahrig had cleared the lot considerably, however, was
concerned about the machinery parts and debris that was remaining. Mrs. Vozar
stated that all she was asking was to clear an "eye sore" and place the materials
in the building and build a site obscuring fence.
August 2, ,1978 - Page Two
Mrs. Kathy Tomrdlo - stated that she lived across the street from the subject property
and did not find the materials contained on the lot were offensive to look at.

areas of concern and requested that Administration proceed with abatement hearings
as necessary. Councilwoman Glick also noted that there had been improvement to the
lots in question by Mr. Jahrig. Councilman Ackerly stated he felt the definition of
"miscellaneous debris and materials" was somewhat vague and questioned the Admini-
stration making this determination. Mr. Wise reported that he would determine
what constituted "junk", etc. depending upon how the items were stored and whether or
not they were indiscriminately placed or dropped on the property.

Mr. Jim Monger of TAPP, Inc. reported on the draft master plan for the Kenai Airport
which had boon presented to the City last month by the consultants along with a detailed
report on the economic feasibility of proposed developments for the Airport,
Mr. Monger presented a brief outline of the proposed plan which included Phase I -
1980-85; Phase II -1085 and Phase III in 1995. Mr. Monger advised that the most costly
phase would occur in 1080 to 1085 in which it is proposed that the City acquire lands
adjacent to the Airport for float plane basin excavation and construction, repaving of
the runway (which is now underway), additional tie -downs near the Terminal, access
to the BIM proposed area and extend Willow Street. Mr. Mongor reported that
in 1985 the plan proposed for the paving of parallel taxiways, remodel present Terminal,
0-1 pave apron by the Control Tower, etc. Mr. Monger also presented the Terminal plan
for development of additional lots for lease north of the Terminal, additional parking
areas, etc, Mr. Monger further commented that the financial analysis as presented
for recommendation of certain improvements and developments was feasible . Mr. Monger
suggested alternatives for revenues to aid in the proposed development and also to
provide a cushion. The consultants as a whole strongly recommended a full time
Airport Manager and stated a position of this nature would save money for the City
in the long -run.
Mayor O'Reilly opened the meeting to the public for comment.
Gerald Sibley - stated that the original plan provided for a buffer zone adjacent to the
Terminal and the latest Master Plan indicates that this area will be available for lease
and utilization. Mr. Monger advised that Kenai Air Service had submitted a request
for lease of this area and thus the reason for inclusion in the plan. Councilman
Ambarian stated that at the last meeting between the consultants and interested persons,
- the area in question was being reserved for parking and Terminal expansion.
Councilman Ambarian stated he felt additional parking was direly needed.
Craig Press stated that he agreed with Councilman Ambarian as the parking areas
now being utilized were full.
Ed Garnett - stated that he felt not reserving the areas adjacent to the Terminal
was not providing for future expansion and in addition, Mr. Barnett stated that the
lessee of that area would have the airport related business "tied up" being so
accessible anti would, therefore, request that this area be reserved for future expansion
and parking,
August 2, 1078 - rage 4
Carmen Gintoli stated that the City should take into consideration that it should
000) not limit to linear expansion or the City would end up with a long narrow building.
Kenai Air Service (Mr. Johnson) - advised that his firm needed the additional aircraft
parking and thus the reason for requesting lease of the area adjacent to the Airport
Terminal Building which would tic into their present leased area.
Gerald Sibley stated that it was his understanding that KAS had been given the
opportunity on several occasions to lease lots adjacent to their present facility
but repeatedly refused the offer and now the two lots have been leased. Mr. Sibley
stated he was still opposed to leasing the area adjacent to the Terminal and retain
the area as a buffer zone.
Bob Bielefeld of Kenai Aviation stated that the buffer strip was included in the
original Airport development plan and the intent was for future expansion of the
Terminal. Mr. Bielefeld suggested that the area be used for transient parking
which would garner revenues for the airport.
Gerald Sibley requested a cost broak-down of the proposed improvements, etc.
and was advised by Mr. Monger they were as follows: Phase I - $7,354,092 -
Kenai share's would be $457,200+; Phase 11 - $2,561,000 - Kenai share's - $220,000;
and Phase III - $7,051,046 with Kenai share's of $378,790.
Butch King stated that the plan allows for no provisions for a arose wind runway
01 and two or three days out of the month the winds are such that there is a great deal
of risk for small aircraft. Mr. Monger stated that during the study it was determined
the situation did not warrant inclusion of a cross wind runway.
Ed Garnett inquired as to why the extensive expansion of the Float Plane Basin and
was advised by Mr. Monger through research it was found that the need was apparent
for the number of aircraft which would utilize such a facility. Mr. Monger further
stated that he did not feel the present Float Plane Basin was adequate as it was not
long enough nor visible from the Control Tower.
Ed Garnett stated that he would request Council consideration to set a policy relative
to the Float Plane Basin and either designate it as such or prohibit use. Mr. Garnett
further commented that he would like Council consideration with regard to the grass
strip parallel to the runway as a directive has come down from FAA in which aircraft
will no longer be allowed to land in this particular area. Mr. Garnett advised that
uce of the grass landing strip enabled aircraft with tundra tires to land on the grass
strip. Councilman Ambarian stated that Council has been made aware of the situation
and would address it at the meeting after the public hearing.
Phillip Bryson stated that as a resident living near the airport he would request
access to the Float Plane Basin in another area rather than through a residential area
as presently planned.
August 2, 1878 - Page 5
Steve Widner presented a petition requesting Council consideration relative to the
pilots not being allowed to land on the grass strip. Mr. Widnor stated that 44 persons
n had signed the petition and advised that he too had tundra tires on his aircraft and
being able to land on the grass strip was safer plus alleviated additional wear and
tear on the tires. Ed Garnett also emphasized that the area in question was also ideally
suited for winter -Rime use of skiis and landing area.
Councilman Ambarian recommended that a meeting bo scheduled between the Airport
Committee, Administration and FAA Control Tower Chief and return to Council with
a report of that meeting, Mr. Wise stated that the City needs to be made aware of
the ramifications of use of these areas in question and a meeting with FAA officials
would enable the Council to make a decision on use of the area. Councilwoman Glick
Inquired as to why a decision, without prior notification, relative to restriction of use
of the grass strip had been made by the FAA when the area had been used for some time
and suggested that Council consider allowing use of the area until such time the matter
has been resolved.
MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, that the Administration
notify the Control Tower tomorrow morning (8-3-78) advising that the City requests
the green strip remain open for landings for the next thirty days and during this
period of time the City will meet with FAA officials to resolve the question of
whether or not to restrict use of the green strip landing area.
QUESTION:
Q Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
MOTION:
Councilman Aber moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian, that the City request
the Float Plane Basin remain open for the next thirty days during which time the City
Administration will enter into discussions with the FAA and should such discussions
result in continued use of the Basin at the Pilot's own risk, the matter will revert
back to the status it had prior to this directive.
Motion passed by roll call vote with Councilman Ackerly voting no.
