Draft Ordinance amending KMC 12.25,030 Leaving of junked or illegally parked vehicles-Discussion Kebschull indicated the reason for adding the statement 'to obscure "junked vehicles" from public view' was an effort to work with the public. Bryson thought the term "public view" needed mere clarification; for instance, is the adjacent neighbor considered public view. Kebschull stated the ordinance would be scheduled for public hearing at the next meeting and she would get a clarification from the attorney regarding the "public view" term. Nord asked if covering a vehicle with a blue tarp or storing it within a van is considered obscuring from public view. Kebschull replied the legal opinion is if it is covered the City cannot verify that it is indeed a junked vehicle so it is possible to have it covered with a tarp or stored in a van. Kebschull continued, it is a difficult situation as the City does not enter a property to determine whether a vehicle is junked or not. If a complaint is made, the Building Official will go by the property and take photographs from the street rather than enter the property. When asked for his opinion on the issue, Councilman Bannock thought perhaps the term "screening" would be a better term. After further discussion Kebschull noted the Public Works Director would meet with the Mat-Su Valley staff to determine haw they handle junked vehicles. Kebschull will take the Commission's comments back to the City Attorney for clarification and will report on the outcome of the meeting in the Valley at the next meeting. fi-b. PZ00-30 - Landscape/Site Plan Review -Tract 3-B-1, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park, No. 6 (255 Airport Way), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Bob Favretto, Kenai Chrysler, 10288 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai, AK 99611. MOTION: Commissioner Jackman MOVED to approve PZ00-30 and Commissioner Nord SECONDED the motion. Kebschull noted the application was straight forward, however staff recommended that if a dumpster is required, that it be screened. Councilman Bannock noted that currently, a dumpster was not in the plans but if it were added at a later date, they would comply with City requirements. Commissioner Jackman asked where the vehicles would be placed on the lot. Councilman Bannock explained the drawing and indicated the vehicles would be displayed and situated in various locations. Commissioner Bryson abstained from voting on the issue as his firm was working on the project.
