Deneise Isaacs spoke in opposition to the applications; stating that she had previously been denied a conditional use permit to operate a marijuana store in the same location. Nancy Wiles spoke in opposition to the applications; highlighted her family’s involvement in sports at the nearby fields; explained that tournaments are large family events and a marijuana establishment should not be close to the fields. Ken Dunbar spoke in opposition to the applications and stated that the applicants should have put the property in escrow subject to receiving all necessary permits. Teea Winger spoke in opposition to the applications; stating that she conducted a neighborhood poll on the subject and the results showed the majority of respondents were not in support; expressed concerns about drugs, homelessness, traffic, ATV use and child safety in the neighborhood.

Sandra Millhouse, applicant, stated that she was unaware the Isaacs had previously been denied a retail marijuana CUP when she purchased and remodeled the property; she lived in close proximity to the marijuana store she operated in Wasilla and had not experienced public trespassing; and the previous Planning Director had told her she had measured wrong. There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing period was closed. [Clerk’s note: Chair Halstead passed the gavel to Vice Chair Coston and disclosed a potential conflict with Resolution No. PZ2024-19 and Resolution No. PZ2024-19, as he had received a comment from the Page 4 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 5 August 14, 2024 public on the proposed marijuana business. Vice Chair Coston ruled he had no conflict and returned the gavel.] Clarification was provided on the City’s buffer distance requirements; previous Planning decisions on other marijuana properties; and the City’s method of distance measurement. Commissioner Twait noted that he had not observed homelessness issues related to marijuana properties, and the City has code in place for handling these issues. Commissioner Fikes stated that she agreed with staff’s finding, and did not support approving a variance from the established marijuana laws. VOTE: YEA: Fikes, Twait, Woodard, Earsley, Coston, Halstead NAY: None ABSENT: Pettey MOTION PASSED WITHOUT OBJECTION. Chair Halstead noted the 15-day appeal period. 2.

There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing period was closed. MOTION TO AMEND : Commissioner Twait MOVED to amend Criteria 5 to read as following: Given the preceding Variance Permit application not meeting required criteria (PZ2024-18), staff believes that pursuant to KMC 14.20.330(f)(2) the findings cannot be made and that the proposed retail marijuana store consisting of approximately 1,600 square feet would [NOT] be harmful to the public safety, health, or welfare.

The subject lots are located along Silver Salmon Drive, which is accessed off of the Kenai Page 10 Resolution No. PZ2024-20 Preliminary Plat Highlands Subdivision Evans Replat Page 2 of 3 Spur Highway, and Martin Court, which is accessed off of Silver Salmon Drive. The subject lots are unimproved, with the exception of a driveway, well, and septic. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or replats must first be submitted to the City for review and provide recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission. ANALYSIS The proposed replat meets the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet for the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district. The size of proposed Lot 2A is approximately .918 acres. City water and sewer services are not available in this area. There is a private well and septic on site. The septic system plans meeting regulatory requirements are on file with the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conversation (ADEC). Access to the proposed lot 2A is provided via Silver Salmon Drive, which is an unpaved City- maintained road. A 10-foot utility easement is located along the northern boundary of the proposed lot, as well as along the east and south rights-of-way. This is denoted in plat note two (2), which states the front 10-feet adjacent to rights-of-way is utility easement. Vacation of the 10-foot utility easement along the western boundary is pending approval by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission as denoted in plat note 5. Staff finds that the preliminary plat for a replat of Lot 2 and Lot 3, Block 1, Highlands Subdivision meet the following Title 14 of Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) sections and aligns with the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code. 1. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.070 Subdivision Design Standards, the preliminary plat for replat, subject to the listed conditions, provides utilities/access easements, provides a satisfactory and desirable building site, and the on-site water and wastewater systems are subject to the regulatory requirements of ADEC. 2. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvement required, the preliminary plat is a replat of two lots within a subdivision that has dedicated rights-of-way and determined acceptable access, subject to the listed conditions. Therefore, an installation agreement is not required. 3. Pursuant to KMC 14.24.010 Minimum lot area requirements, the preliminary plat meets City standards for minimum lot size in the RR zoning district. 4. Pursuant to KMC 14.24.020 General Requirements, the preliminary plat meets City standards for minimum lot width/depth and access/utility easements. Compliance with the maximum lot coverage, maximum height, and setbacks will be reviewed during the building permit review.

ATTACHMENTS Aerial Map Application Preliminary Plat, Highlands Subdivision Evans Replat Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Page 16 Page 17 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Brandon McElrea, Acting Planning Director DATE: September 11, 2024 SUBJECT: Action/Approval – Lease of Airport Reserve Land for the Property Described as Lot 4, Block 1, FBO Subdivision Crowley Fuels, LLC (Crowley) submitted a land lease application of Airport Reserve Land for the property described as Lot 4, Block 1, FBO Subdivision, located at 411 N. Willow Street (KPB Parcel No. 04336018). The applicant is requesting a term of 5 years and proposing an improvement amount of approximately $750,000. Proposed improvements consist of the removal of the self-service aviation cardlock system, including the underground fuel tank, and upgrading the above ground aviation fueling services, bulk fuel storage tanks in order to maintain regulatory compliance and storage capacity. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 21.10.080(b) [Lease] Term Table, the maximum term for the proposed investment value is 45 years, however the applicant has requested a term of 5 years. The 30-day notice of competitive land lease application expired on August 15, 2024. The City did not receive any competing lease applications for the subject property. The applicant intends to use the premises for aircraft fueling purposes, as well as a fuel storage and bulk fuel distribution facility. Crowley leases the southwestern adjacent lot from the City and is in compliance with the terms and conditions of their lease. The subject property is approximately 0.90 acres and located within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. The intent of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a significant resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards that may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. Crowley has operated fuel services at this location since assuming the previous Lease on September 05, 2004. The previous Lease expired July 01, 2024 and Crowley is currently in holdover. The proposed continued use of fuel distribution and storage is a permitted use in the ALI Zone as an Airport Compatible Use. Fuel storage and distribution will continue to promote the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport. Furthermore, the proposed use is consistent with the 2016 Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan. It supports Goal 5- Transportation, which has a vision for Kenai Municipal Airport as a gateway to the Kenai Peninsula. Pursuant to KMC 14.05.010(b)(2), the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission shall act in an advisory capacity to City Council regarding City and airport land leases. P&Z Commission makes their recommendation based on the proposed development and compliance with the City’s Page 18 Page 2 of 2 Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code. The Airport Commission will also review the lease application and provide a recommendation to City Council. City Council will be notified of your commission’s recommendation as part of their consideration of the lease application. Does your Commission recommend approval to City Council on the lease application of Airport Reserve Land for the use of fuel storage at the property described as Lot 4, Block 1, FBO Subdivision?
