AIRPORT MANAGER' S REPORT Manager Ernst was unable to attend this meeting but had prepared a recommendation on Storage Building Specifications for the Float Plane Facility, as directed by the Commission at their previous meeting. Chairmans asked that the Commissioners review the recommendations and vote on this issue at the next meeting. Commissioner Ames requested that it be made a matter of record that he is against the City imposing restrictions on people's buildings. He thought this would make the area look to institutional and restrict the individuality of the property's owners. He felt the City should encourage people to build the best facility possible without dictating pitch of roof, type of siding, etc. Commissioner Knopper said the Commission's idea, in setting guidelines, was to keep the float plane 'area from looking unpresentable. He also felt that there was probably some height restrictions in that area which would require that guidelines be established. Commissioner Toppa felt guidelines were needed to protect the City as well as float basin users. After further discussion the Commission made the following recommendations regarding the proposed Specifications- 1. Building Size (Not to Exceed) (private) 150 Sq. ft. 12 'height (commercial) 384 Sq. ft. 14 'height Height specifications would be dependant on regulations for landing and take offs; omit number 2. Roof Slope; combine 3. through 7., and "reword with consultation from an architect or the City Engineer in some generalized fashion to allow maximum flexibility"; 8. remains the same; change the second sentence in the last paragraph to read- "All building plans must be submitted to the Airport Manager, with any conflict to be resolved by the Airport Commission." KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION Page 4 Chairman Summers commended Manager Ernst for the work he had done in drafting the specifications for the Commission. 8. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS a. Comprehensive Plan Update- as noted in packet. b. Memorandums to Council - regarding Resolution 90-66, which was passed by Council, increasing landing fees and eliminating fuel flowage fees. Pull Tabs in Airport Terminal - Council voted to make this a part of the Airport Regulations. ~ Commissioner Knopper asked that two issues be discussed on the 'hext Agenda- Pay Parking and also Car Rental Lease Rates. Commissioner Toppa asked if the old landfill site was on Airport lands. He said that there may be a group interested in presenting a plan to turn that site into a model airplane park. Chairman Summers asked staff to get information on whether that land does fall within Airport Land Use. Commissioner Ames knows of an individual who is building a model of a Pilgrim 100-A which he is willing to display within the City. Ames suggested that the Commission ubegan thinking of a place to display this model. Chairman Summers said that two Commissioners may be resigning in the near future and the Commission needs to start thinking about replacements, for those Commissioners. Commissioner Summers asked the Commission if they felt that public hearings should be held on the Pay Parking issue. Summers asked if Commissioners would be ready to discuss this issue at the next meeting. He also said that public input should be sought, and asked that Manager Ernst notify any interested parties, including members of the City Council to have input on this issue.
