The Commission reviewed the information included in the packet.
Heather Hasper, Airport Planner, HAD, Alaska -- Asked if fueling or fuel would be available.

Commissioner Bielefeld MOVED to recommend approval of the lease application for Cliff R.
Everts, d/b/a Everts Air Fuel, Inc. and Commissioner Watkins SECONDED the motion. There

Discussion-- Airport Conservation Properties/Amending Title 14, Land Use
Table.
The Commission reviewed the M. Kebschull memorandum added to the agenda at the
beginning of the meeting which explained the majority of unsubdivided airport property is
zoned conservation. The newly adopted Comprehensive Plan has recommended an airport
overlay zone to eliminate the zoning restrictions on this property due to the conservation
status. The original plan was to begin this process as soon as the Comprehensive Plan was
adopted, however the airport is in the process of conducting an airport supplemental plan to
include an inventory of airport properties and recommendations for future. Because it would
seem premature to rezone properties without the advantage of the supplemental plan and the
consultant's recommendation, Administration's recommendation is to amend KMC 14.20.070(a)
to allow uses as permitted by the FAA.
Council Member Moore noted he was looking forward to the preparation of the supplemental
plan and the final resolution to many airport land issues.
MOTION:
Commissioner Watkins MOVED for the Airport Commission to recommend approval of the
footnote as recommended by Planning Administration and Commissioner Versaw SECONDED
the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
