No installation agreement was required. Additionally, a utility shed was located on the current Lot 2 which appeared to be non- . conforming and encroached into the setback; the plat would not increase the non- conformity; aresidence was located on the current Lot 1; and, the city had an as-built of the structure on fffe and it showed no encroachment.

ITEM 10: PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED (3 Minutes) Kristine Schmidt, 513 Ash Avenue, Kenai -- Reported she was disappointed with the conex ordinance as she wad hoping a work session would have been held with Council and the Commission; believed there were many good points made during the Commission's review; and, did not believe that work had been reflected in the comments made during Council's consideration at its March 19 meeting. Ross encouraged the commissioners to attend the April 2 council meeting and added, the ordinance was postponed in order for the public to have more time to consider the proposed amendments, i.e. prohibition of barn-shaped sheds, precluding many shed types being purchased, etc. Concern was stated the current form of the ordinance would require the roof line of a shed to be the same as the house on the property and that requirement was not one suggested by the Commission.
