MINUTES KENAI PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION JU ~ NE 23, 1971 Page three Follow Up Reminder A letter should be sent for any rezoning - does not reflect regular request. In connection with the rezoning, Mr. Glotfelty commented that the Commission wasn't responsive to the people of the community. The reason for this statement was due to the length of time a person must wait for rezoning. In response to this statement, Jim Elson stated that the Commission should have a directive from Council. He then made a motion to establish Planning ~ Zoning's authority for the City of Kenai as established under the Charter of the City of Kenai. This was seconded by Al Hudson. There were no objections.

After some discussion, the motion was so approved. They next discussed the site location of the Cemetery. It was said that no money had been appropriated for the purchase of land for the Cemetery. There were three proposed methods to take: 1. Use land where present Cemetery is now located; 2. Swap land with the Federal Government or 3. Find other City owned land. 4-b Review of Proposed Sewer Interceptor locations. Bruce Massey confronted Planning ~ Zoning with his proposed Interceptor project.
