KENAI CITY COUNCIL Mi „ imi
18 O TOBER, 190
Roll call: Members present - Chester Cone, Bob Bielefeld, Jolvi Hulien, Billy McCann,
Florine MccCollum and Mayor James G. Dye; memhers absent - Carl Seaman.
Also present: Planning Commission Sec. Richard Carignan; City Fngr..James Moore;
FAAP $ CIIAP Engr. Frank ttfince and EDA Engr. Harold Galliett.
B-1: Frank Winco suggested Council should decide what projects the City should under—
take next on the Airport as application for FAAP funds will not be considered after
8 Dec., 1967; this would be for Fiscal 1909; preliminary plans do not have to be very
detailed - the estimate of money should be enough to take care of the project, but not
too liberal. Council directed the City Manager to talk with the Airport Mgr. and Engr.,
also to see what money is available and what appears feasible for the City to do.
Force acct. work on FAAP-02 is now proceeding; this project has been de-
layed one year duc to the tardiness of the Federal Govn't. in approving the job; the
notice to proceed was received on 27 Sept; the City has already spent about $40,000
getting the Small Aircraft Apron ready.
Harrison, Moore and Wince will also inspect the reported dip to the taxi -way.
1lie FAA has made a study which shows Kenai will need a parallel nun -way by 1972.
Council instructed Harrison to set up a meetin; with them and the FAA personnel
to plan airport improvements.
B-2: Harold Galliett said the City should not use the present cost schedule for con-
nections to water & sewer; they are out -dated and no ].anger sufficient.
The street paving project is about completed; drivers are inclined to speed on
these streets, and the City should see if the Code provides protection for the pedes-
trian - he should have the right-of-way at all times until the City can provide side-
walks.
Water & sewer is a little behind the first deadline; except for testing Redoubt
Terrace can be handled; water in the present system is being treated differently; the
new wells are moderate on iron - better than the old ones; the road to the Flight Ser-
vice station will be opened up; the road behind the old NA will be improved; 4th
avenue is being completely rebuilt; 2nd and 3rd were only lanes, and now will he
passable roads.
Tie question of paving over by Bay Am will he studied by Harrison and will he
on the agenda at the next meeting.
Council also instructed the City Mgr. to look into the traffic code and to con-
sult with the police.
Dumping over the bluff and heavy loads on the paving will be restricted.
Cost of connections will also be reviewed.
F-2: With consent of Council, the order of business was changed to accomodate those
waiting to be heard.
Planning Commission Sec. Richard Carignan presented a request for variance for
Inlet View S/D to allow a block over 1200' in length; the physical structure of the
land makes this desirable as the lots are surrounded on three sides by a gulley; the
Planning Commission has approved the idea and recommends the Council concur. A 20,
open space is provided for utilities,walk, etc.
The meeting was opened for public hearing, but there were no opinions expressed.
At the close of the public hearing, and after some discussion, McCollum moved,
Cone seconded, to grant a variance for one block longer than 1200' in Inlet View S/D.
Motion carried unanimously.
F-1: Since this item concerned the same parties as Item F-2, Council agreed to con-
sider it now.
The development plan of M $ S development Co. was presented with the approval
and recommendation for acceptance of the Planning Commission; there was considerable
discussion as to the price of the land put up for sale by the City, comprising 2.305
acres, and being a portion of the proposed development of the Inlet View S/D; the
appraisal had originally been $5,000, but was revised out of consideration for the
Council Minutes '"- Ort 07 page two
road r-o-w of .392 acres. Thomas McKeever of M4S CO. spoke of tii.e future costs of
developing this land, bringing utilities in, otc., anti also that the land was appraised
a raw acreage; The City Manager and Council felt the appraised price of $3,500 was
not in keeping with raw acreage being sold in this area.
After several attempts to establish a priro, and debate on getting another ap-
praisal, ut order to avoid furthor delay, Bielefeld moved, McColliml seconded to accept
the development plan of McKeever oil Inlet View SID as presented. tiotton passed unan-
imously.
There followed more discussion, with the audience participating, on the price of
the land to be offered for sale tomorrow.
llulien moved, Cone seconded, to set the minimum price at $4,900 on the land ad-
jacent to Inlet SID. (toil call vote: Affirmative - Cone, Hulien, McCollum; Negative
Bielefeld, McCann.
Carignan presented the SID plat of Dolchok Tract A, but as no road right-of-way furnish-
es access to the buyer, this was set aside for review.
This brought on a lengthy discussion of the City's need to plan for streets; Council
agrees some of the City's efforts should go for this.
McCann moved, Hulien seconded, to get the Alaska State Housing Authority and rep-
resentatives of some engineering firms to meet with Council for street planning. Motion
carried unanimously.
Carignan presented Redoubt Terrace SID Plat Part 2 which has been approved by the
Planning Commission.
After brief discussion, Bielefeld moved, Hulien seconded, to adopt Res. 67-59
approving Redoubt SID Plat Part 2. Motion passed unanimously.
At the request of Carignan, Council instructed a public hearing be held for rezoning
Lots 1 thru 8. B1. 16, and lots 1 thru 4, B1. 14 of Ahlstrom SID. later on the Plan-
ning Commission hopes to submit a recommendation to set up a commercial area here.
Council is wary of such action as the City is not able to furnish services for
this distance, and the policy now is to concentrate the commercial district closer
to the center of Loam.
Carignan presented a request from Planning Commission to appoint Mr. Alexis. Shadura
to serve on the Commission; orditiarily�Plmming'Commission presents a tentative list
of appointees for Council - then the Mayor makes the appointment.
Mayor Dye, with consent of Council, appointed Shadura as a member of the Planning
Commission with full voting rights.
Shadura said he would be glad to serve and is working now to set up a meeting
with Council and the Russian Church Croup; tentative date for this is 28 October.
Minutes of the meeting of 4 Oct. were corrected and approved.
Minutes of the special meeting of 7 October were approved.
The City Manager reported:
1. $1,000 can be saved by changing insulation to standard insulation on the CAP bldg.
McCann moved, Hulien seconded, to approve change order 01 regarding insulation
for the C.A.P. Building. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion on the doors prompted Council to defer action until brochures and
specs may be obtained.
2. The parking lot at the airport is completed; some more gravel is needed, and
since there is $1500 left, Harrison suggests this be considered. Council says put on
the gravel as the cost is negligible considering the advantages gained.
3. The Alaska Municipal League convention in Sitka is encountering problems in housing
all delegates; since Harrison has just returned from one convention, and considering
the program in Sitka, he thinks he can be of more use to the City by remaining here,
and asks he be excused from attending; McCann and possibly the City Clerk will go.
Council Minutes 18 A 67 page three
4. The Convention in New Orleans of International Managers Association was almost
entirely given over to studies and plans for the actions Cities should take in com-
batting riots; it wasn't on how to prevent them, but what to do when they happened;
all of which made Harrison grateful for the healthy situation for Cities in Alaska.
S. The sewer lift station in CIIAP is now operable and the engineer foresees no real
problems in reducing the outlets from 8" to W". Council is greatly concerned and
anxious that no future problems develop at great cost to the City. Wince thinks it
will work all right; a warning light system has been set up for easy spotting in case
the water level gets too high.
6. The emergency power plant has been moved to the Termi_al Bldg. and will be tied in
tomorrow; several people will know how to turn it on so run -way should not be without
lights.
7. 'the gas line tobe returned.to the oil co. will be cleaned up tomorrow.
8. The new grader is here acid is being used.
9. EDA representatives were here principally to talk on Borough projects, but they
were taken on a tour of the City; there is money left for Cities; Harrison will pre-
sent some possible plans to Council for consideration.
James Moore reported lie had met with Standard Oil people concerning the access rd. to
the bulk plant; they wanted some things done before gravel is put on; the gravel is
stock -piled for now.
Billy McCann reported Bob !toss is the now President of the Borough Assembly; Vice
Pres. is Dick Pace and Parliamentarian is Simons. There was some discussion on the
proposed ordinance to establish a service area; Council thought our representatives
should follow their own conscience and do what seems to be best for the City.
G-1: Tabled until Goff can be here.
G-2: Harrison presented res. 67-60.
After brief discussion, Hulien moved, McCollum seconded, to adopt Res. 67-60
to Clem Alaska Highways and Public Places. Motion passed with McCann dissenting.
H-1: Leo Oberts commented on the clean water now in the City system.
Mrs. Knaskctedt asked about the Kenai Bridge and small boat harbor projects;
there is nothing to report on this.
The Mayor said he managed to get testimony into the record for subsequent hearing in
Washington on the 600000 emplanes and 1 1/2 million lbs. of freight out of the
Kenai Airport for 1967; this was not direct testimony, but would be incorporated in
additional remarks.
Harrison will have Marchant Patrol report at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned 11:40 p.m.
Respectfully subbmmiitted,
