Frates, Kenai Pazks & Recreation Director Date: September 2, 2008 RE: Winter Pole Decorations As stated in my August 29`h email, I have a concern with our ability to safely install the 12' Double Poinsettia pole decorations due to their weight (120 Ibs). The standard 7.5' Double Poinsettias are 64 lbs but manageable. At 7.5', the Double Poinsettias are slightly larger than most of the pole decorations currently used. I will attempt to acquire a 7.5' Double Poinsettia from the City of Soldotna to bring to our meeting so you can visualize the size. Meanwhile, please call me at 283-3692 if you have any quesflons.

Frates, Kenai Pazks & Recreation Directo Date: September 2, 2008 RE: Leif Hansen Memorial Park I would like to have a discussion on the flowerbeds at Leif Hansen Park, primarily the "Bean Bed" and the large bed near the flagpoles. They have increasingly become a very high maintenance item and I recommend we look at ways to minimize the maintenance demand. Kay Shearer has requested Curtis Stigall of Arboristic View and Nancy Casey of Casey's Plantings to join us for this discussion. The installation of the underground sprinkler system is well under way and Hickel Construction was gracious enough to allocate time to relocating another town tree. This will probably occur sometime mid to late September at the time they relocate a gas line that runs along the right-of- way. ITEM A: CALL TO ORDER 1. Pledge of Allegiance 2.

Willow Street 04336045 IL -Light Industrial Commercial and Vacant Airport industrial ANALYSIS General Information: This is a landscape/site plan to build a 50' X 60' building at the GLM site. This is an established site and no additional clearing is required for the development with the exception of clearing to allow a water and sewer service line installation off North Willow Street. An addition to the existing structure was approved in January 2008. The landscape/site plan for that development has been updated to show the new structure and required parking spaces. All requirements of KMC 14.25, Landscape/Site Plans Regulations, were identified in the approved plan under PZ08-07 and remain in effect. This plan is approved with the following requirements: Section 14.25.040 of the code outlines the landscaping plan performance criteria. 0845 Comment.doc Page 2 • Street-right-of-way Landscaping -intent to soften the impact of land uses along rights-of-way but does not obscure land uses from sight. o Landscaping bed and existing vegetation along North Willow Street will be retained. The code requires a minimum of ten feet (10'} landscaping bed along the property line, which adjoin street rights-of-way, exclusive of driveways and other ingress and egress openings. The natural vegetation this is retained meets the 10-foot requirement. o The area that is disturbed for the water and sewer installation must be landscaped to meet the ten foot (10') landscaping requirement. The following are required in the site plan: • Parking - o The code requires one parking space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area plus three spaces for patrons. The manufacturing portion of this structure is 3,000 square-feet. Nine (g} spaces will be required. The plan shows tG new parking spaces for the development. • Parking Lot. o Parking lot must be paved. The site plan identifies the area already paved and shows the new parking area that will be paved with this development. Paving must be completed within two (2) years after the certificate of occupancy is issued. • Snow storage. o Snow storage is shown on the plan. Snow must be stored so as not to interfere with required parking spaces block visibility for tr aiiii. to the Sere, i lie ioCaiioii oil file plan appears to IIICeI II IIJ requirement. • Dempster. o A dumpster is shown on the plan. During the January review, an exception was granted to the screening requirement. The exception requires that the dumpsters be stored so they are not visible from North Willow Street. RECOMMENDATIONS This is an established site located in the Light Industrial zone. A complete landscape/site plan review was conducted in January 2008. This plan updates the previously submitted landscape/site plan to include a new, 3,000 square-foot building planned for this site. The only clearing that will be required for the development is to provide installation of the water and sewer lines off North Willow Street. The new building requires additional parking. The plan is approved with the following requirements: 0845 Comment.doc Page 3 1. The area disturbed for the installation of the water and sewer service must be landscaped to meet the ten foot (10') minimum landscaping requirement. 2. The additional parking required for this development must be paved within two (2) years of the certificate of occupancy. 3.
