ITEM 8: OLD BUSINESS Huhndorf asked .Moore about his visit to Anchorage xvith Mayor Williams. Moore reported, he and Councilman Booke¥ accompamed Mayor Williams to the Anchorage Visitors and Convention Bureau meeting. The meeting went very, well and it was quite miormative. He noted ,~nchorage was considering a very, large convention center since the Egan Center was no longer large enough to accommodate the demand. Moore added that Anchorage was losing out on a lot of conventions due to tack of space. As a result. Kenai could be considered an area to take the overflow. Moore reported the City. Council wants to develop the old FAA fields next to the Semor Center and work sessions will be held to discuss what should go in there, i.e. a convention center, major hotel, shopping mall. etc. Huhndorf asked about the gravesites in the area. Moore assured the Board that area was excluded from the development. Kebschull noted the Russian Mission owned that property.. Huhndorf asked about the clean up of the FAA fields. Kebschull stated the land had not been of Sciallv turned over to the City. yet and as far as she knew, clean up had not taken place. ITEM 9: REPORTS 9-a. City Council 9-b.

Barb Roper Mayor Williams explained the purpose of the work session was to re,new a proposal prepared by the Historic Dismct Board regarding the'.,- future. Williams indicated it was apparent the original intent of the Board was coming to a close and it had no strength to carD..' on. Huhndorf recapped the HDB work session that was heid on .Z, prd 3. 2000. Huhndorf stated that what came out of the work session were a set of HDB goals and the need to develop and/or re,new criteria regarding "DB's role and responsibilities. The following items were discussed: · Certified Local Government {CIG} Status: One of the recommendations from the 4/3/2000 HDB work session was that the City Council determine whether or not it was in the best interest of the Citw to maintain CLG status. Ma_nv issues were discussed to include :ax cred/t incenuves although iGuge noted it does not re .mm:e CIG stat-us to obtain a credit and CLG stares allows the CitTy .,.o apply .'.'or various ~a,,'.ts iHuhndorf listed a few of those that are avaiiabie~. A lengr2nv discussion ensued regarding grants and it was noted :2nat s.-.azT's -~s.~onsib'e ."or' ._ _ .a .... g ;__-.5. adm~stenng the grants and that can be costiy.' '.;-as also -zted by 5ooxe-.-:5at ' e Citw does not have ~ne money 'o az:iv .:-zr-_atc2mr. a -~an:s. ',~av,:--.:,'iiharr. s stated there are many, many grants available but it :akes a lot of t/me to research them before a proposal is even written. It was also pointed out that there has only been one grant applied for and received m five years. With regard to CLG status it was determined that function will be handed over to the Planning and Zoning Commission who is the group responsible for recommending approval for development in Old Towne. · Coastal Trail: Discussion took place on the Coastal Trail and how it ma.v affect or benefit Old Towne. In that situauon the HDB could get revolved. · ltl~to~ic ~iety v~. ltiatoti: l)htfict florid: Discussion took place on the Historic Society.. and how the two groups should work together on many of the historic preservation issues. It was suggested that HDB could possibly take over the Historic Society's responsibilities. · Member Resideacy Reouiremeats- ~: was pointed out that KMC 14.20.105Co)(1) states. ~...A majority, plus ~ne ~ember must ~e a resident of the CiW of Kenai.' It was noted that the current HDB did not meet that requirement. Discussion took place on forming a new Historic Commission and amendments to ..:2~,e Code ~vouid address ~e res:dency requirement appropnateiy. · Fnture of Historic District Board: .~lany suggestions were made with regard to the furore of the HDB to include d/ssoi~hng it ent/rely. Graves pointed out that in Seward the Planning and Zoning Commission handles all historic issues in special meetings held twice a year. P2uhndorf explained, with the fl~ Board, there ~vas new energy and the members wanted to continue. It was also suggested that perhaps the HDB could be an e~ension of the Library or Beautification Committees. Discussion also took place on having the Historic Board become an extension of the Virdtors Center. .&fter much discussion, the following was detemined: · The CLG stares responsibilities ~uil be moved over to Planning and Zoning. · The Historic District Board ~il cont._roue as a new commission with minimum standards, serving as other commissions of the City, i.e Beautification. Library, etc. . · The Code is to be amended to reflect r. he Historic Commission would hold monthly meetings; will report directly to the Planning and Zoning Commission on issues that affect the City. and/or Old Towne at PZ's regular meetings; the Planning and Zoning Commission will utilize the Historic Commission as an advisory when necessary.. · The Historic Commission's membership ~ill be maintained at seven (7) and the residency requirement will be changed to read four of the seven members are to be residents of the Ciw ci Kenai. HISTORIC DISTRICT-C.-'.~:h.U., WORK SESSION/MEETING APRIL 17. 2000 · A cits.' staff member ~5il be assigned to act as Liaison for the Historic Commission. · Because this issue has been dealt ~-ith many .'Ames. i~ was decided r. hat this Commifi$ion will be in place for one year and at *due end of the year, a review will take place. If the Commission has not performed satisfactorily and the quorum issue continues to be a problem, the Commission ~411 be sunsetted. · Graves ahll prepare a draft code revision for the new Commission that will split the responsibilities bet~'een P&Z and HDB. This ~.ull be. available for review for the next council meeung..MI members ~511 get a copy to review. Councilwoman Swarner stated that she and Councilman Frazer received complaints about the direction of the one-way street in Old Towne. Bookey reported the direction was determined so that buses could easily rum around at the apartment building. Mayor Williams indicated he would like to arrange a breakfast ~vith HDB members to discuss £urther their goals and plans for the new Cvmmission.

Bill t~uge. Emily DeForest. Michael Huhndorf. Pam Russell. Sasha Lmdgren. Gwen Preston Also Present: Councilman Joe Moore. Admm/strative Assistant Marflyn Kebschull. Contract Secretary. Barb Roper ~) Introductions were made for the benefit of the three new members. Sasha Lindgren, Gwen Preston and Pam Russell. Huhndorf explained the purpose o£ the work session, which was to define goals taking into consideration the recommendations from Council and to produce a plan to present to the Cits' Cauncii at the HDB April ~ 7 meeting. The following topics were discussed: Council Concerns: It was noted that Council's main concern was whether or not the HDB could maintain quorums as it has been a real problem in the past. Kebschull pointed out there were four meetings scheduled last year and two were cancelled due to lack of quorum. The overall consensus was that with a full board now it should not be a problem making a quorum. Member Residency. Requirements: A question was raised on whether or not there was a legal Board due to residency, requirements outlined in the ordinance. It was noted, KMC 14.20.105 (b[ {1}, last sentence states, 'A majority, plus one member must be residents of the City. of Kenai.' It was noted that three members lived outside the city limits. This issue ~511 need to be addressed by Council. Goals' A lengthy discussion took place on goals of the HDB. Kebschull reported that of the seven goals set last year. none were accomplished. Some of the goals (old and new} discussed included obtaining a tract of land to display artifacts and large historical items currently being stored at the ci~ maintenance yard; performing an inventory of such items: identity of other structures or sites that are historical in nature: community education; and review and clarification of ICMC 14.20.105. It was decided the Board should start out with one goal that would have some acmdties beneath it..~n example would be obtaining a tract of land to d/splay the historical items and the inventory of such items would be part of that goal. :-~istonc District Board Work Session Ar)rii 3, 2000 Cernfied Loca!_~ Government (CLG) Status: A lengthy discussion ensued regarding CLG status. Kluge thought the issue should be the mare focus of the work session and asked what the benefit was to the city. by having CLG status. Kebschull replied that it only allowed the city access to various grants. Kebschull also noted, administering the grants costs the city money. Kluge asked if maintaining the CIG status would provide for tax credits to those living within the historic boundaries. Kebschull noted she was not aware of a tie between the CLG status and tax credits but individuals could apply if eligible to do so. Kebschull stated that if the city. didn't want to maintain their C LG status, the Board could continue under the city.. Discussion ensued regarding continuing without CLG status and it was noted the code would have to be rewritten if the city decided to drop the CLG. Frequencx.' of Meeting. s: Discussion took place on the frequency of meetings and it was noted the meetings were currently held quarterly and the majority clidn't think that was often enough. Suggesuons for more frequent meetings included once per month or every other month. A decision will be made at the meeting on April 17. 2000. ICMC '~ 4.20.105: It was noted that/f the ciD' decides to discontinue their CLG status, iCMC 14.20.105 would have to be rewritten. Histonca!__ Society and Historic District Board: Discussion took place on whether or not there was a duplication of efforts between the Historic District Board and the Historical Society. It was noted the Historical Society was independent of the ci~' but the two groups could certainly work together on many historical issues. Emily DeForest reported she is a member of the Historical Society. and r_he group could assist with some projects. Commumry. Education of HDB' Community education was an ongoing topic of d/scussion and the majority agreed the issue was very important and should have pnonty. Various methods oi educaung the community were discussed. Past Smd/es and Surveys of the Historic District: Kebschull provided copies of old smd/es and surveys for the Board ~o review. The first study completed in 1985 was discussed and it appeared it was the catalyst to form the Historic District Board. Moore asked Kebschull to contact the group who performed the study to see if they had any input as to whether or not maintaining CLG status is helpful. Kebschull,answered she would attempt to make the call. Kebschull pointed out there would, more than likely, be a fee to obtain the advice and that's one of the reasons the city. uses OHA. Lindgren noted that there are many O~°, changes being made at this time and they are working very hard to stay in emstence. Histonc District Boa_rd Work Session Old Town Improvements and Clean Up' A brief discussion took place on recommendations to clean up Old Town. Some oi the suggestions included placing benches, trashcans, comer flowerbeds, etc. It was recommended the HDB contact the Beautification Committee for assistance-m this effort. It was also suggested the Rotary Club or other organizations be contacted for donations of trash receptacles or benches. Recommendations to City Council , Kebschuil stated the Board needed to come up ~'ith a proposal to City Council regarding their plans for the year and the cornmkment to make it work. After much discussion the following was agreed upon: , The HDB v~M1 ask the City Council whether or not it is in the city's best interest to maintain CLG status. If so, then the code should be revisited with regard to development in Old Town. ,Lt' not. '.hen the HDB will become a Board of the city only and will serx'e as other committees do. . If Council decides not to maintain CLG status, ~en ~MC 14.20.105 would need to be rewritten. , HDB will establish realistic goals and limit the number so they can be more achievable. Suggested goals include: a. Obtain a tract of land to display historic arufacts and equipment currently being stored in the ci~"s maintenance yard. bo Inventory. such artifacts and equipment. Co Continue and enhance commumt~' educauon. After a general recap, the work session adjourned at 9'!5 p.m. Barbara Roper.

PLkNNING & ZONING COMMISSION ~IEE'r, ING MINUTES JUNE !4. 2000 PAGE ' Michael Huhndorf, Kenai, Alaska- Huhndorf explmed he is the Chairman of the Historic District Board and the issue was discussed with the two other HDB members present. Huhndorf indicated there was concern about the modem architecture of the proposed building and recommended the applicant consider a siding that would keep with the traditional appearance of Old To~rn. Don Petroze, 509 Overland Drive, KenaL Alaska- Petroze announced he was the applicant and that he submitted the apphcarion packet prior to meeting with Huhndorf. Petroze indicated the profile oi the structure was taken from a magazine just to have something to present to the Commission. Petroze indicated he was willing to work with the City to put a new structure in that would be allowed and in line with the Historic Zone. Bryson asked if the existing structure encroached on any right-of-ways and Petroze answered it did not. Public Hearing closed. Kebschuil reported staff had met ~-ith the apphcant in an effort to come up with a structure that would fit on the noncorfformmg lot size. Bm'son stated Old Town was famous for ~ne small lot sizes and it was noted t~he apphcant was attempting to make the best out of a poor situation. Brs.'son mchcated his support of the project but was not comfortable with determining the 9~pe of architecture of the structure. Glick handed the gavel over to Vice Chair B~'son in order to make comment. Glick stated this was a case where a variance was justified and he would like to see it approved. Glick stated the siding should be historic in nature. Bryson turned the gavel back over to Glick. Nord indicated she would be voting in favor of the motion as any building would be an improvement over the existing structure regardless of the type of siding. Goecke agreed ~-ith Nord and noted cedar siding would probably make the building look more 1 modem. Nord Yes Gough Absent Jackm~ Yes ~ Bryson ~Yes !
