November 17, 1997- 7:00 p.m. Kenai City Hall Council Chambers Chair porothy Gray *** MINUTES *** 1. CALL TO ORDER AND R~LL CALL Cha.irperson Gray called the meeting to order at approximately 7:13 p.m. Members Present: Dorothy Gray, Ethel Clausen, Michael Huhndorf, Gloria Wik, Bill Kluge Members Absent: Alan Boraas Also Present: Marilyn Kebschull, Carol Freas, Mayor John Williams, Mike Carpenter 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Huhndorf requested the walking tour be added under Old Business as Item 7- C. AGENDA WAS APPROVED ~VITH THE ADDITION. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - October 13, 1997 MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 13, 1997 WERE APPROVED AS WRITTEN. 4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD - None 5. HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW: - None b. NEW BUSINESS a. Land Use Table Gray pointed out the revised Land Use Table was included in the meeting packet. Planning and Zoning made some designation on each . item in the table and there were no land use changes to the townsite zone. Kebschull thought there were some changes and a copy of the current land use table was attached to the back of the Ordinance as requested Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 1 - by the Board. Kebschull stated the blanks that were filled in for the ' tovcrosite zone was information taken directly from the Ordinance. Gray asked about the 5, 6, or 7 family dwellings and whether or not the Ordinance stipulated no more than two-family dwellings in that particular zone. Kebschull replied the current land use table permits up to two families. Kebschull reported that any comments and/ or recommendations made by this Board will be taken to Planning and Zoning for their public hearing scheduled for November 26, 1997. Kebschull pointed out under the development requirements table it notes that more than 4 or 5 family dwellings in the Townsite Historic District are subj ect to approval by the Commission. Currently, this also requires a conditional use permit. Gray thought the number of family dwellings should be checked on to assure consistency with the Ordinance. b. Townhouses - KMC 14.20.160(b~~6j[A] Gray referenced the memo included in the packet regarding tovcmhouses. Kebschull stated anything that changes the code within the Townsite Historic Zone is to be brought to this Board for review before going to Planning and Zoning, The change in the code for townhouses is recommended as not all zones were included, however, this would not change the townsite zone as it was already included in the Code. 7. OLD BUSINESS: a. Mission Street Project Gray referenced a memo from Kornelis regarding the Mission Street project and the sidewalk. The Board had previously questioned the texturing or color coding of the sidewalk and had asked for additional information. In his memo, Kornelis did not recommend texturing of the sidewalk as it would make walking difficult, especially for those individuals who are physically challenged. Kornelis, however, did suggest a green color to match the light poles or a red color to have the sidewalk stand out or look different. He is asking for input from this Board. After discussion the Board recommended the standard concrete color be used. b. Preservation Plan Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 2 ~ c. Walking Tour A copy of Huhndorf's long version walking tour was provided to members in the meeting packet. Huhndorf referenced the Clarence Ladd property which was included in the walking tour because of its eligibility with the National Register and the signifcance that it holds for Old fiown. This property may have to be removed as the property owner did not want a sign placed in front of his home. Huhndorf recommended the tour be reviewed throughout the year. The map will also need some work as changes were made to accommodate the walking tour. Gray pointed out the walking tour is the long version which will be sold at the Kenai Visitor's Center. A tri-fold brochure will be available at no charge for those individuals taking the tour, During discussion it was suggested that since the walking tour was just provided tonight it should be brought back for discussion at the next meeting. This will allow the Board more time to review it. Kluge suggested the map be done graphically with the numbers matching that of the tour. He also suggested a draft form be provided to a printer so that they can come up with the actual format. Gray asked if there was money available to pay for this. Huhndorf reported he would have to get back with Kim to see where the connection is. Huhndorf hopes the walking tour and map would be completed by spring. Gray recommended a larger print for the map. Kluge thought a tour such as this should be entertaining and fun. He recommended colorful stories of the area such as what happened to Moose Meat John, explain the cross on the church, how the odd shaped properties were developed, etc. Carpenter requested that the Dolchok House be recognized as a coffee house since other properties were recognized by their current businesses. Huhndorf stated the omission was not intentional and could be changed. Carpenter asked for a response to his request from more than just Huhndorf, specifically from Gray. Gray replied that the walking tour is in draft form at this time and not a finished product. Carpenter requested Gray's personal opinion on the issue. Gray replied that as Chairperson it didn't seem proper to inj ect her personal opinion. Carpenter again asked if there were any other comments other than from Huhndorf. Kluge stated he didn't have a problem with mentioning Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 3 ~-~ the business owner or the type business. Wik stated she didn't review the walking tour so doesn't have a comment. Huhndorf again apologized for the omission and reiterated that it was not intentional. Kluge stated that once the walking tour is developed and printed, the Board wouldn't want to modify it when and if a business changed in Old Town. Kluge recommended that the business names be removed from the walking tour to eliminate the n,eed for modi~cation as businesses change. KLUGE MOVED TO STRIKE ALL BUSINESS NAMES FROM THE WALKING TOUR. MOTION SECONDED BY WIK. VOICE VOTE - ALL IN FAVOR, MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 8. REPORTS - None 9. INFORMATION d. Council Agenda ~10/ 15/97 & 11/5/97~ e. Preservation Advocate News 10. BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Gray reported that the next regular meeting is scheduled for December 15, 1997. Clausen reported that she would not be available. It was suggested that a work session be held instead as without Clausen there would not be a quorum. KLUGE MOVED TO REQUEST THAT COUNCIL CANCEL THE REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 1997 AND TO SCHEDULE A VVORK SESSION THAT DAY AT 6:00 P.M. MOTION SECONDED BY WIK. VOICE VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR, MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. The next regular meeting is scheduled for January 19, 1998. Gloria Wik asked if the letter from Mayor Williams would be incorporated into the minutes. Wik felt it should be part of the record for future reference. Mayor Williams stated there was a lot of other material from other locations who run historic societies that should have been sent with the letter. The letter was provided to show that even though the structure is the way it is, it can be changed. Council would like to see the Historic Board as a successful committee but over the past couple of years there have been some ups and downs. There have been times when it becomes relatively successful, then it Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 4 -- wanes and wanders. This is not the way a good committee should operate. If there are changes that should be made then the request needs to be submitted. Mayor Williams referenced his first comment with regard to what the Board should do. Williams stated it is the responsibility of the Board to provide Council with a long range plan which will include what the committee is doing and where they are going. Williams indicated that he may have leaned heavily on the issue of responsibility or authority but it came to him in a rather a heavy handed manner. There is no way the Council will allow this Board, committee or commission to operate in any other manner except by what is prescribed by Code. Specifically, there is no responsibility or authority with this Board. This Board is advisory only and Council has the absolute final say in everything when it comes to responsibility, authority, fiscal management, etc. The reason is because of the statutes and codes that are operated under, If a committee member wants responsibility and authority they should run for elected office. Williams stated the Board's membership has caused some concern. The Board was created after much discussion and in a manner unlike any other committee or commission the City has. This is a special board, there is no other committee or commission in the City that is created in this manner. This Board was formed to compliment the City by bringing in some talented people from other areas outside the City as well as broadening the base of the Board by keeping enough seats open for more talent in this area. It appears there is trouble in bringing the talent together or the talent isn't always interested in coming. There seems to be a breech of clear direction with regard to the membership of the committee. It is possible to cut the number of inember back from nine to seven members and double the responsibility. Other individuals can be brought in to act in an advisory capacity when needed. V~lik asked about the type of reports Williams mentioned and asked if they are year-end reports and has this Board been asked to provide such reports before. Williams replied that may not have been the case, it may be the City has been negligent in asking for the report. However, most committees and commissions understand that come budget time it is necessary for them to ask for money to operate and the City wants to know what they did the year before. In the case of the Historic Board there is no budget but there are expenses associated with any committee adopted by the City. There are costs associated with the Board for meetings which requires the building, staff at the meetings and the transcription of minutes. Wik stated if the Council wanted such a report that some other type of indication should have been given other than a reprimand. Williams confirmed that this was a reprimand. He reported that Council wanted a much heavier Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 5 ~ letter than what was submitted. Wik felt the Board couldn't go on assumptions so direction from Council certa.inly would not hurt. Wik continued by stating it seems Council would ask for a five year plan if one is required. Williams verified that Council is working on a five year plan for the City but it is not absolutely necessary that every commission or committee have a five year plan. However, they need to have a plan which indicates where they are going and what they are doing. This will influence other things that are being put together. Williams discussed Dr. Hansen's proposal for a park next to Showalters. There are some difficulties with this proposal as it is an old burial site, there may be some artifacts in the area and it's an area this Board should be looking at as well. Williams strongly suggested that someone from this committee attend the public hearing to listen to both sides of the presentation so when it's done this Board won't be out there saying it had no knowledge of the project. Huhndorf stated that he didn't hear about this new park before and asked if a notice could be provided in the packets or a letter be sent individually. Williams stated it is in the public sector, it's on the agendas, on the Internet, and it's been published in the newspaper. Discussion took place on the burial site in the area of the park. Williams stated that reports provided by the University of Alaska show the bones that were recovered several years ago from that vicinity show they are about 200 years old and are perhaps a cross between Athabascan and local, coastal native. There is also good reason to believe there are more there. The question that remains is should the City take control of the property and if so what should be done urith it. This is where this Board can play a big part in the decision process. Gray reported that some of the things mentioned by Mayor Williams are things that have been worked on during the work session. Gray stated the preservation plan outline includes an agenda for future action and projects that this Board would like to work on. It also includes other things that take into account the proj ects that have already been worked on which includes the townsite historic site survey. Gray stated the comments she wanted to make with regard to annual reports is the Board normally has a City Council member present at the meetings who reports back to Council on the activities of the Board. Gray also stated that a couple of years ago she prepared a presentation for City Council on what the Historic Board was doing and at that time asked if the Board could be a part of the comprehensive planning session. Gray stated she has never received anything to be part of the Planning and Zoning land use table when a part of it does impact the townsite historic zone. Gray also mentioned the beach proj ect that cuts through some of the townsite historic property, this Board was never made aware of what is going on there. Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 6 Williams addressed each of Gray's issues separately. With regard to the committee report, Mr. Moore does bring to Council the highlights of the townsite historic meetings but that is not the same as having a collective report that reflects the work over the year. With regard to the sand dunes, this proj ect encompasses the Harbor commission, Planning and Zoning, if there were some historic 1and, then the Historic District Board would be involved. It also encompasses the federal and state government, the Exxon oil spill group, etc. Williams expressed surprise that the Board was not aware of the proj ect considering the size of it. Williams referenced the paragraph mentioned earlier where it states it is the responsibility of this Board to adhere to the established ordinances and all other laws of the city, state, and federal government and to maintain its membership, conduct its meetings with quorums, report to council on a regular basis, and advise other boards, committees and commissions who may have overlapping responsibilities in the same area of the Board's plans. Williams addressed the comprehensive plan. The comp plan utilized j oint funding of the Borough and the City. The City questioned the validity of utilizing comp plans back to back on occasion. Coming before Council on the frst reading at the next meeting is a question of whether or not the City will match the Borough's money of ~30,000 to do a comp plan, which may or may not be needed at this point at this time. It is possible the City would not accept the Borough's money as a comp plan was just done recently. However, when a comp plan is put together input is taken from all committees and commissions. Gray agreed with Mayor Williams but wanted to know if there is a way this Board could be officially included on the ma.iling list and notif'ied in advance so that it could be put on the Historic Board agenda. Gray reiterated that to her knowledge this Board was not made aware of the two proj ects mentioned previously. Williams reminded that the agendas are published in the newspaper and posted on the bulletin boards. All commission and committees get their ovcm agenda and Council gets its own agenda. There is a City page on the Internet which has the full agenda for the week. The home page also has the ordinances and resolutions available. Williams indicated there may be room for some broader communications and it will be looked into. Huhndorf again expressed his desire to have communication come directly to members with regard to notification. Williams asked if this information should be just limited to townsite historic information or if it should be broadened. Huhndorf answered, the Board should be notified about anything affecting historic, archeological or architectural matters. Williams referenced the membership situation. The Board was asked if a seven member board would be more beneficial to the committee. Gray replied that she talked to Judy Bittner at the State Office of History and Archeology about the topic and Bittner reports the state guidelines say that a reasonable effort Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 7 will be made to compose a committee to seat members including an architect, archeologist, and a historian plus four members making a seven member board. Bittner stated that it would be fine to have fewer members but in the report must be state that attempts were made to have this number. The most important thing in the composition of the board is to have the architect, archeologist, and historian as consultants. However, they may not be officially able to attend meetings. Williams stated that having a seven member board with access to the consultants may be something to consider at this time. Freas reminded the members that originally it started out as a seven member board but there were problems then trying to get a quorum. Williams stated the Board should be reformed with citizens who are obj ective, who wish to serve and who can commit their time and energy to the Board's work. Williams pointed out the current members are but obviously there isn't everybody on the Board that feels the same way. Kluge stated one of the reasons he joined this body was because he thought he may have some influence on development in Old Town. There has been talk in the community for some time to see development occur in Old Town that had some flavor and historical character to it. Kluge asked what clout does this Board's recommendation have vcrith Planning and Zoning. Williams answered that it bears as much weight as any other committee or commission within the City. Williams added that sometimes it may take physical presence before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the only commission that acts with a fiduciary responsibility to the citizens in the scope of the work they do. Planning and Zoning has to look at the legal ramifications of everything they do. The City is not going to get caught in a law suit that's been developed because somebody didn't cover all the bases. This issue was addressed in the litigation, i.e, Pelosa. A man has a right to quiet title and use of his property, it can't be zoned away from him. It can't be recommended strongly to the Planning and Zoning Commission that they circumvent the laws or rules or some other procedure that's already been looked at by the courts. It's difficult to get some answer to some of the questions but it's vital that care is taken on how it is done. Local government is the finest government there is because it works right here with the people but it's also the first government that gets hit with every frivolous suit that comes in. Williams aga.in suggested that members go to the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. Gray asked to go back to the issue of the number of inembers. Gray points out that a change in the number would require a revision of the ordinance. Williams indicated that a revision would be easy to do. Gray reported that City Attorney Graves was asked to the last meeting because of the ordinance and the Board's interpretation as it compared to that of Historic District Board Meeting November 17, 1997 Page 8 Planning and Zoning and Councils. Gray continued by stating that Graves was not asked to the last meeting in order for the Board to gain more power but to -> get clarification on what this Board's exact purpose was as when the ordinance was read the words "all" and "will" were taken for literal value. Graves was told if this is not what the Council wants this Board to do, then the ordinance should be reworded. Gray again reiterated that there was no intention by the Board to try to get more footing. Gray stated the Board recognizes the ordinance needs some fine-tuning if it is to be worded properly. Williams stated there is one other situation where a committee is subservient to a commission, the Beautification Committee is subservient to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Williams continued by stating that this does not mean this Board has to take any orders from the Planning Commission but anything done by this Board must be approved by the Planning Commission. Williams thought what really needs to be done is to look at the ordinance and see where it may be restxuctured then send it to Planning and Zoning Commission for their review. Williams stated the issue of inembership needs to be addressed. Huhndorf addressed the article that appeared in the paper approximately three weeks ago regarding the signs in Old Town. He stated he asked Lucas, the reporter who wrote the article, to include some photos about what the Historic Board has done with regard to the signs. Williams suggested that the Dispatch be contacted as well since they do more human interest articles with pictures. Williams stated he was pleased to be present at the meeting. Gray reiterated that the group will meet on December 15, 1997 at 6:00 p.m. for a work session. The next regular meeting is scheduled for January 19, 1998. Discussion took place on the vacancies on the Board. Freas recommended that the Board really make an effort to find some people to fill the vacancies to eliminate the quorum problem. It was also recommended that the day of the meeting be considered as well. 11. ADJOURNMENT - MEETING ADJOURNED AT 8:45 P.M. Respectfully submitted, , .

HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD November 17, 1997- 7:00 p.m. Kenai City Hall Council Chambers Chair porothy Gray *** ~V~RK SESSION*** Work Session begin at 6:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Dorothy Gray, Bill Kluge, Ethel Clausen, Mike Huhndorf, Gloria Wik MEMBERS ABSENT: Alan Boraas ALSO PRESENT: Marilyn Kebschull, Carol Freas, Mayor John Williams, Mike Carpenter Preservation Plan a. Memo explaining status and needs Gray asked if all items needed to be voted on individually when the preservation plan is accepted in the meeting. Kebschull replied that she wasn't sure how it should be done. The goals and objectives were discussed and sent to Council but were never adopted by motion. The draft was never presented to the Board nor has a copy been provided to the City. Additionally, Huhndorf s notes regarding nomination procedures were never discussed by the Board. Huhndorf explained where the information came from. Directions on how to complete the National Register form was also included. Kebschull indicated this could be completed and accepted as a document which will probably be the most appropriate way to handle it but each item should be discussed. Gray asked how the Board felt about preparing the preservation plan as a final draft to present to Council for approval. b. Preservation Plan Outline Gray read the goals and obj ectives that are included in the mission statement of the Board. Discussion took place on Item 2 of the goals and objectives. It was decided the paragraph will read "Make specific recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission relating to matters of historical and cultural concern, nominations of historic places for the National Register, and protection of archeological resources." Gray reported that Boraas' rough draft was available and asked Huhndorf if this material could be published as part of the Preservation Plan. Huhndorf thought the material needed to be edited before Boraas would allow it to be used. Gray stated that if Boraas' material is not used there is a section from the historic survey that is appropriate. It was decided that Boraas would be contacted to see if his writings could be used, if not then the material in the survey would be used. Boraas' absence from the meetings for the past year was discussed. It was asked why he was not dropped. Huhndorf replied it was always ma.intained that Boraas is considered an "unofficial» member of the Board. It was pointed out that it is a requirement to have an archeologist on the Board. Huhndorf stated due to the short time allowed by the work session that he would not mind working with Boraas in editing his writings for use in the preservation plan. Gray reported, State statutes require a preservation plan be provided. It has been over a year since it was last worked on and some type of draft needs to be submitted to Council for review and approval. Huhndorf stated since the sign grant project is complete this Board should concentrate on the preservation plan for next year. The nomination process is complete and the citizens should be educated on the Historic District Board. Kebschull recommended calling Boraas as he may have a full document because he was preparing similar information for an elementary school . curricu um. Kluge felt the survey addresses the education issues with regard to the historic character of the community. Huhndorf stated he has spent a lot of time with the contributors and working with the Tribe vcrith the survey document but was unclear on where this Board was trying to go. Gray replied that the Board is required as a CLG to complete the plan. Kluge felt the Board had provided a lot of information for the plan and in time it will become more knowledgeable about the history of Kenai. Kluge also stated since Boraas did not complete the document and has not been active as a member of the Board, his work should not be included. HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 17, 1997 PAGE 2 Gray stated the plan needed to be completed tonight. She agreed with Kluge that as the Board learns more about the history of Kenai then the plan can be added to, changed, or altered. This could be an annual task of the Board. After more discussion it was decided that Item 2 would rema.in an ongoing effort and the Board will review the plan on an annual basis. Gray stated that Item 3(pages 4? to 49) is complete. Item 4 which is the survey and the entire book is complete. Item 5 is included in the entire package. The outline should be renamed to "Archeological and Historic Context of the City of Kenai" and is covered in pages 11 through 49". Item 6 should be renamed to "Property Data" and is found in Chapter 4. Item 7 is a new item and would be named "Procedure for Nominations". Huhndorf stated this item is not completed but will be submitted. Item II of the procedure references pg. I-9, Desk Ref., Huhndorf asked that this remain in the procedure. The Board went through the Procedure for Nominations for ~.tture Historic Sites prepared by Huhndorf and the following comments were made. Item I, Certification of Local Governments - No changes noted. Item II, Participation of Local Governments - No changes noted. Item III, Participation of Property Owners - after discussion it was decided the Desk Ref note will be removed. Additionally, a procedural process needs to be included which will outline the application procedure. Gray stated that after Item Q(on the last page) it should state "See How to Apply The National Register Criteria for Evaluation for Complete Details." It should also state the registers are available from the State Office of Historic Preservation and the applicable addresses and phone numbers should be provided. Discussion took place on where a citizen can easily access information on how to apply to the National Register. It was agreed this information should be assembled in one location to allow citizens to get basic information. The library seemed the logical place. It was also noted that if more deta.iled information was required, a person can pursue that on their own. Gray stated the Board can also help people by advising them of the procedures. HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 17, 1997 PAGE 3 It was suggested that Huhndorf s proposed procedure should be used as a guideline for citizens to use. It was also suggested that the following statement be put at the beginning: "For further information contact the Historic District Board who will provide assistance for nominating properties using the guidelines in National Register Bulletin # 15". The official procedure could also be cited. It was noted that anyone can make the nomination but the owner needs to have reasonable time to consider it. It was suggested that nomina- . tions be made once per year. Kebschull asked what the benefits or ramifications were to having a building nominated as a historic site. Kluge replied that one advantage is an income tax credit if the property owner kept improvements to a historic context. Freas asked if a historic site and/or building had to be ava.ilable for tours. The answer was no, but the property would be designated with a sign. Freas suggested the benefit and property ov~mer responsibility be noted somewhere in the procedure. Kluge stated the procedure should not be too involved but agreed with Freas that it should be briefly stated what type of property could be considered for nomination. fihe responsibility of the property owner should be included once the property is declared historic. Kebschull asked if the outline was prepared by the Board in order to change the title. Gray replied the Board had to prepare the outline and submit it to the State office so this should be considered a working outline which can be changed if necessary. Kebschull suggested that all this information be kept in a central location and available to the public. Perhaps an information packet could be prepared to go along with the procedure. Item 8 of the Preservation Plan Outline is complete. Item 9, Walking Tour, the draft is complete and had been submitted to Kebschull. Item 10, Development Recommendations needs to be completed. Item 1 l, Historic Board Membership is complete. Item 12, Statement of public sector responsibilities is complete. HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 17, 1997 PAGE 4 Item 11, Historic Board Membership is complete. Item 12, Statement of public sector responsibilities is complete. Kebschull noted that she didn't have anything on this. Gray indicated this had to be looked at again. Item 13, Agenda for future action f proj ects needs to be completed. Huhndorf asked if it was all right to pursue Item 2 by adding to it or amending it. Kluge stated the preservation plan will be an ongoing process and should be reviewed periodically for additions and amendments. c. "Preparing a Preservation Plan" d.
