Discussion-- PZ02-36/An application to amend Conditional Use Permit
PZ99-01 to include outdoor recreational activities for the property known
as 9775 Kenai Spur Highway (That portion of the W ~/~ SW V4 SE V4 lying
S of the Kenai Spur Road ROW excluding leased portion per agreement
559 ~ 796), Kenai, Alaska. This is the site of the City of Kenai's
Multipurpose Facility. Application submitted by the City of Kenai, 210

Commissioner Castimore provided the Commission with background information
regarding the development of the multipurpose facility. He stated the intent of
the area had always been for outdoor recreation and the entire length of
Lawton Road is outdoor recreation (golf course, Oilers Park, Kenai High School tennis
and football fields, Challenger Center, Multi-purpose Center, etc).
Frates addressed the noise complaint issue and informed the Commission prudent
action had been taken, noting to date the skateboard ramps had been welded
together to reduce noise. He added, if this is not enough, a urethane spray could be
used at a cost of approximately $3,500.
Frates also reported he visited the area with Herman Fandel and offered to try to
further reduce noise by erecting a fence to act as a barrier and several skateboard
ramp users informed Frates of their willingness to help with setting it up. Frates
reported Fandel told him this was unacceptable. Each Commissioner reported on
visiting the area at various times throughout the day and night and none reported
witnessing any type of disturbance or bad behavior.
MOTION'
Commissioner Gifford MOVED to request Planning and Zoning approve the permit use
for outdoor recreational activities and Commissioner Castimore SECONDED the
motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
