Date: August 2, 2007
Subject: Taxiway Designations
At the July meeting Commission discussed the final taxiway designations and
expressed some safety concerns that I have followed up on.
The Advisory Circular for Taxiway Guidance Signs suggests that the first step in
designing a taxiway sign system is to:
1. Keep it simple and logical
2. Use letters of the alphabet with an exception to a parallel to a runway,
you could use numbers for stub exits such as Al and taxiways should
start at one end of the airport and continue to the opposite end, in our
case north to south.
3. Designate all separate distinct taxiway segments
4. Ensure no separate distinct taxiway has the same designation as any
other taxiway
The new and modified layout meets the above except at the north end when
taxiway A turns into the parallel taxiway A. The layout has again been shown to
the FAA, Era Aviation, and the Air Traffic Control Tower, with no major safety
concerns expressed.
One of the project engineers will also attend to discuss this and update the
Commission on the Runway project plans.

MEMO:
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: August 1, 2007
SUBJECT: Title 21 Kenai Municipal Airport and the Airport Reserve
The purpose of this correspondence is for administration to provide comments regarding
language drafted by the City Attorney, incorporating Airport Commission suggestions for
KNIC 21.10.090 Length of Lease Term. For clarity I have attached a copy of the
document drafted by the City Attomey.
Administration recommends against the abbreviated lease matrix and lease extension
matrix and continues to recommend the following lease and lease extension matrices:
(1) The maximum term of a new lease or a renewal of an expiring lease shall be
determined according to the following table:
Applicant's Investment/ Maximum Term
Value (in U.S. Dollar) (In Years)
Less than $ 100,000 5
$ 100,000 - $ 199,999 10
$ 200,000 - $ 299,999 15
$ 300,000 - $ 399,999 20
$ 400,000 - $ 499,999 25
$ 500,000 - $ 599,999 30
$ 600,000 - $ 699,999 35
$ 700,000 - $ 799,999 40
$ 800,000 - $ 899,999 45
$ 900,000 - $ 999,999. 50
More than $ 1,000,000 55
(2) (2} The maximum term for a lease (initial lease plus extension(s)) shall be fifty-
five years. The length of the extension(s) shall be determined according to the
following table:
Applicant's Additional Investment/ Lease Extension
Value (in U.S. Dollar) (In Years)
Less than $ 100,000 5
$ 100,000 - $ 199,999 10
$ 200,000 - $ 299,999 15
$ 300,000 - $ 399,999 20
$ 400,000 - $ 499,999 25
$ 500,000 - $ 599,999 30
$ 600,000 - $ 699,999 35
$ 700,000 - $ 799,999 40
$ 800,000 - $ 899,999 45
$ 900,000 - $ 999,999 50
The lease matrix and lease extension matrix included in the attached language aze both
too generous in lease term for the applicants investment value; and fail to provide a
sufficient gradient of lease term.
Under the draft language an applicants proposed permanent improvement with a value of
only $ 101,000 would result in a lease term of 25 years, or an investment of only $
301,000 would result in a lease term of 55 years. This level of investment is too small to
result in leases of that length. A leaseholder could invest only $ 301;000 (which is really
not a terribly significant investment) and tie-up airport property for 55 years without any
additional investment
In comparison, under the matrices recommended by administration a leaseholder
constructing improvements with a value of $ 301,000 would receive a lease term of 20
years. During the course of the lease the leaseholder would be entitled to extend the term
of the lease for continued investments in the improvements. In the event the leaseholder
did not continue to invest in the improvements, at the end of the lease (20 years) the
Airport/City would have option to renew the leaseholders lease (if the leaseholder wanted
to renew) or seek a new tenant. What is important is that it is the Airport/City's option. In
the event there was little activity at the airport a lease renewal may be appropriate, but if
there is a high degree of airport activity it certainly would not be. This provides the
Airport/City with the means to respond to market conditions without being tied to 55 year
leases with low initial investment and no incentive for continued investment on the part
of the leaseholder.
The lease and lease extension matrices recommended by the administration provide a
logical and reasonable gradient to establish lease term based on the applicants investment
value, and will encourage initial and continued investment in leaseholder improvements.
The draft KMC 21.10.090(d)(2) states "The lease term for land used for a general
auiation hanger shall not be more than 20 years." Administration suggests this clause be
deleted and the issue of general aviation leases addressed in a more comprehensive
manner in the future, possibly including separate matrices for general aviation.
Administration would like to draft language specific to general aviation leases and submit
that information to the Airport Commission for review and discussion. Deletion of this
clause would also require the deletion of draft KMC 21.10.090(d)(6).
The draft KMC Z 1.10.090(d)(3) states "For anon-aviation related purpose, the maximum
term for a lease, or renewal or extension shall be five (5) years." Administration suggest
this clause be deleted and non-aviation use of airport reserve lands be administered
through special-use permitting. This is the process in which these situations are presently
administered.
Thank you for your consideration in these matters.

MEMCIRANDUM
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: GR~ Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: August 2, 2007
RE: Airport Reserve Lease Term Changes
Attached is a draft of a revised KMC 21.10.090 (Length of Lease Term). Since legislative format
can be confusing, I thought it would be better if I covered the changes in a memorandum. I tried
to follow my notes and incorporate the ideas of the Commission into the draft, but I may not
have gotten them the way you would like. I will be at the meethig on August 9s' so we can go
over the ordinance at the meeting and make the changes you need. There are seven main areas
where changes were made in KMC 21.10.090.
1. Subsection (b) was changed to provide that a lease issued under the matrix in subsection
(d)(1) may not be longer than the remaining useful life of the improvements. Thus, even
if you spend more than $300,000 on improvements, a person would only get athirty-five
year lease if that is the remaining useful lifetime of the improvements.
2. In (d)(1) the term of lease was increased from 35 to 55 years for aviation related purposes
and a new matrix was added. The matrix numbers came from my notes of the meeting.
3. Subsection (d)(2) was added to allow for leasing of land for general aviation hangers
where the improvement value is less than $100,000. It is an exception to the leasing
matrix. Under the new matrix a person who built a $75,000 hanger would only get a
five-year lease. This exception would allow them to get atwenty-year lease. As I
understand it, the rational is that it is hard to economically justify building general
aviation hangers if the city is only going to give five-year leases for investments of under
$100,000.
4. Subsection (d)(3) limits the granting ofnon-aviation related leases in the reserve to a
maximum of five years. The idea is that the reserve is really meant to be available for
airport related functions. Non-airport related activities maybe located nearby on non-
Airport Commission
August 2, 2007
Page 2 of 2
airport reserve land, However, it does allow for some short-term non-auiation related. land
use in the reserve.
5. Subsection (d)(4) provides a new matrix for lease extensions for aviation related purposes
with the maximum term for an extension (the original lease term plus any extension) as
55 years. However, it also provides that a lease may not be extended past the "remaining
useful life" of the improvements and provides a method for. getting a report on the
remaining useful life-nfthe improvements.
6. Subsection (d)(5) allows a bona fide purchaser of aviation related airport improvements
to get a lease extension of up to 55 years based on the matrix in (d)(1). It also provides
for a cap of the extension for the remaining useful life of the improvements.
Subsection (d)(6) allows a bona fide purchaser of a general auiation hanger valued at less
than $100,000 to get a lease extension of up to 20 years. It also has a cap so that the
extension may not be longer than the remaining useful life of the hanger. Let's say I have
five years left on my lease and I sell my hanger to a third party. If the hanger only has a
remaining useful life often years, the purchaser would only get afive-year extension
rather than afifteen-year extension.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or proposed changes to the draft.

specific representation for a re-constituted airport advisory commission. The Council
would like you to discuss this and put forth arecommendation.
One Member -Professional in the field of monetary investment and/or banking.

RE: Composition of the Airport Commission
The issue 9f the composition of the Airport Commission came up during the last Council
meeting. The Airport Commission is made up of seven members and anon-voting Council
liaison.l Corrunission members do nat need to be residents of the city? They serve three year
terms' The membership of the commission is structured as follows4
(a} One member, fixed base operator (FBO).
(b) One member, lessee of airport aeronautical lands ar terminal facility.
(c} One member, with expertise in Federal Aviation Administration functions.
(d) One member, representing the Civil Air Patrol.
(e) Three members, at-lazge, representing the business and professional commmunity.
(f) One non-voting member, representing ad hoc member of the Kenai City Council.
Historically, in Kenai the at-large members representing the business gird professional
community have been persons with an interest in general aviation..
In Soldotna the Airport Commission is made up of five members.s They are appointed for three
year terms. Ona is a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, two are airport users,
and two are at-large members. One of the at-large members may be a sitting council member. _,
