The assessment is figured on 150' back from the road right-of-way, The fellow on the corner is not charged double because the assessments are figured on a sq. ft. basis. Mr. Massey - We never assess the same piece of property twice. Bill Quandt - Will the government help? Mr. Jaynes - Not basically. They do help on interceptor lines but not laterals. Mr. Massey - The assessments in 1968 were from 35 to 400 ig er even counting inflation. We had to pay for the main plant and interceptors, Now we can get Federal government. Mr. Jaynes - We will now take a look at the improvements for Kaknu Korners. We have received petitions for water, sewer and streets from this area. Mr. Jaynes pointed this out on the map. He showed the water interceptor line and the proposed water and sewer laterals. M~:ke Rowden - Where will the fire hydrants be located? Mr. Jaynes - I can't say right now, but there will be enough to give adequate fire protection. Mr. Massey - The fire hydrant will be 640 ft. of each Mike Rowden - What is our fire rating now? Mr. Massey - It is a 5 now. Mike Rowden - When will this be in? Mr. Jaynes - As soon as we can. Mike Rowden - Could it be this summer? Mr. Jaynes - It could easily be. Mr. Jaynes asked the people if this was the development they wanted. The three from Kaknu Korners agreed. Mr. Jaynes asked if there were any objections, MINUTES, KENAI PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSION, JUNE 14, 1972 Page Three Public hearing continued. There were none. Mr. Massey pointed out that 90% of the residents of this area signed the petition. Mike Rowden - What about the drainage? Mr. Jaynes - The road now is above the level of the lot. It will,be dug down, crowned and graveled. There will be no ditches as such. The road will be lower than the lots. Mr. Jaynes moved on to Bush Lanes Subdivision. He states the City has received a petition from the people in this area. There is already an existing water system that has a certain amount of value. The City will connect to the existing system and have paid for the lines once. There is sewer in the subdivision. The streets will be improved to a full th~~ty foot. The City will improve the military right-of-way. A large culvert will have to be put in. Donald Raats - The hydrants go through the alley. T ere is a six inch main, Mr. Jaynes showed the laterals on the map. Mr, Masse - We have no as-builts for the subdivision. I wile to get with the people and get a set of as-builts for outselves. The cost of this subdivision will be less than 1/3. This is a priority item. You will get water as soon as Mommsen Subdivision, possibly before freeze-up. Mr. Jaynes asked the people if this was the development they wanted. They indicated it was. Mr. Jaynes asked if there were any objections and there were none. Mr. Jaynes stated we will .move on to 5th Avenue. The City has received a request for streets and sewer in this area. This is on a dead end and will have a cul-de-sac. There are only two people on the road and they have requested this. i MINUTES, KENAI PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSLON, JUNE 14, 1972 Page Four Public Hearing continued. The City has also received requests for service on 2nd Avenue. Part of this area is zoned commercial and part is suburban residential. The proposed street will be 30 ft, and have a water line. Mr, Massey- There is not a whole lot of people in this area. Normally with the City, water there will be a savings on fire protection but not in this area:: It is an expensive. project. The area will not develop before water and sewer, Betty Warren - If it costs 5,000 to 7,000, I might just as well give away my lot. Carl Haller - On the commercial side, we already have a street, so why assess us for a street we don't want or won't use. Mr. Jaynes - We are not trying to sell anything, we want to give you what you want. Bett Warren - I feel that with the current real estate i status t s-is an unneeded expense and would not find it profitable to subdivide. I want to register my protest. Carlton Green - I want water and sewer and don't give a damn a out the streets. Carl Haller - I go along with the sewer. Mr. Massey - I don't want to be misleading on the time actor, opefully this year. Carl Haller - I am tentatively planning a new building an would like a figure water wise. Mr. Jaynes - It would be approximately $6.00 a lineal foot it~i a 20a contingency. Carl Haller - What is the user charge for water? MINUTES, KENAI PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSkON, JUNE 14, 1972 Page Five Public Hearing continued. Mr. Massey - $6.95 for water - $4.66 for sewer. If you had water, the insurance rate would go down, Mike Rowden - Mine went down from $350 to $150 a year~csuse of the fire plug. Robert DeVolld - I would like to talk about water and sewer. Al Hudson - Would it increase the cost of putting in water an sewer because of no street improvements? Mr. Massey - Basically it won't cost more. Mr. Jaynes - The cost for water and sewer would run approximately $15 a lineal foot. Larry Lancashire - It costs us more every year just to maintain tie sewer than the assessments. Mr. Jaynes - How many are for both water and sewer? f A show of hands indicated six. Mr. Jaynes - How many against? A show of hands indicated one. Mr. Jaynes - For water only? None, Mr. Jaynes - For sewer only? None. Carlton Green - Will this go in this summer? Mr. Masse - This is up to the Planning Commission. T ere is no excess of funds. It depends on the priorities. Mr. Jaynes - I recommend to Planning $ Zoning that these jobs be undertaken and presented at Council at their next meeting, MINUTES, KENAI PLANNING ~ ZONING COMMISSION, JUNE 14, 1972 Page Six Public Hearing - Environmental Impact - WPC-ALA-35 - Sewer Interceptor Lines. Mr. Massey reported all programs funded by Environmental Protection Agency require a public hearing on Environmental impact. The sewer line will be in the street and will parallel the water line and basically stay within the right-of-way. This will go in our existing right-of-way and into existing sewer system. The total line is cleared and no trees will be knocked down. Mr. Massey would like to hear from the public. Do you think there will be adverse affects? Jerry Holly asked about the sewer treatment plant operators which is the cause of failure for sewage treatment plant. Mr. Massey reported the plant will be one of the closest monitored plants in Alaska. There will be a sewer plant operators school this fall. It will be a 44 week course.

They have upgraded the code. Nothing but copper wiring. The insulation has been upgraded. Heat loss is less than 50 btu; 20# wind pressure; 30# roof load. They are more attractive. If you restrict or eliminate mobile homes, you restrict population. After a question and answer period, Mr. Korpinen stated we are not trying to eliminate trailers, but restrict them to different zones. We don't want a trailer house next to a $70,000 home.
