Old Business None 5. New Business A. Holt Williams Subdivision Preliminary Plat: John Williams Mr. .John Williams stated that he planned to place multi-family dwellings on these lots rather than single-family dwellings. His purpose in coming before the commission was to discuss the possibility of applying for a variance to allow for a 36 unit apartment building on the lots. He stated that if this was. not acceptable to the commission, he would revert to six-plexes on Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5 and request a variance to allow an eight- plex on Lot 3. Mr. Williams stated that since Forest Drive was a heavily-trafficed street, single family dwellings were not suitable and the property could be better utilized for multi- family housing. This type of housing would come under Farm Home low-income housing. i«-••us. i 1.ca.aaiaiiay caiiu L~Vllllll~ l~vlluul.7-.`~'1vL1 Regular Meeting December 8, 1976 (Item 5-A, continued) Page 2 Mr. Raymond asked if Mr. Williams had considered parking space for the multi-family dwellings. Mr. Williams stated that HUD required 1 1/2 parking spaces per dwelling and there was sufficient area to meet this requirement. Mr. Hamrick asked what the percentage of lot coverage would be with the multi-family dwellings. Mr. Williams stated that .they would be allowing 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit, which is what the ordinance requires.. The ordinance does not list a maximum lot coverage. After further discussion, Mr. Williams asked for preliminary approval of this plat. The .Commission advised Mr. Williams that they could not grant approval on this plat until it had been submitted to the Borough. The City Commission only acts in an advisory capacity to the Borough. Therefore, it was suggested that Mr. Williams submit his plat to the Borough, who would then forward it to the City for their comments. B. Application for Lease of Lot 6, Block 2, CIIAP: Sealand Freight Service, Inc. Mr. Malston asked if this was the normal lease rate for this property. Mr. Wise stated that it was. Mr. Charlie Ogle of Sealand stated that Sealand was,presently under lease with Beluga Development for Lot 5 for both the building and land. They are considering building a terminal and this is why they do not want a long term lease at this time. Mrs. Glick asked if they would use this land for the new terminal. Mr. Ogle stated that they would consider this property but would also consider other property. The cost is a major factor. Mr. Miller asked for explanation of Schedule "A" of the lease. Mr. Wise stated that this. part of the agreement was that Sealand would pay the water and sewer assessments on this lot. Mr. Ogle stated that Sealand would more than likely renew the lease next year and understood that the assessment payment would be a one- time payment. Mr. Wise stated that this was correct. Mr. Hamrick asked how much longer Sealand's lease of Lot 5 was in effect. Mr. Ogle stated that it expired next year with the option to renew. MOTION: Mr. Heus moved, seconded by Mr. Malston, that the Commission recommend approval of the lease of Lot 6, Block 2, CIIAP, to Sealand Freight Service, Inc. Motion passed unanimously. is ~.aau ~. iusaaaiaay uaau uvaa iaay •. vaiu{ii Jw7lVaa Regular Meeting December 8, 1976 Page 3 C. Resolution No. PZ 76-4: Rezoning of Woodland Subdivision from Rural Residential to Suburban Residential '} Mr. Wise explained that this resolution would begin action to accomplish this rezoning. .The ordinance states that rural residential areas will automatically be rezoned to suburban residential when served by an approved community water and sewer system. Woodland has been served by City water and sewer for quite some time. The Borough Attorney needs some- thing in writing from the City requesting the rezoning. MOTION: Mr. Malston moved, seconded by Mr. Miller, that the Commission adopt Resolution No. PZ 76-4, recommending that Woodland Sub- division be rezoned .from rural residential to suburban residential. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Other Business A. City Council Report: Betty Glick Councilwoman Glick stated that the City Council had met twice since the Commission's last meeting. They had a public hearing on the ordinance for the street lighting agreement with the State, as well as the amendments to the 1976 Airport Regulations. They also had a public hearing on the "old library building" and surrounding lands to obtain public input as to how the land and building should be disposed of by the City. The Kenai Historical Society is interested in the building and the Salvation Army is using it for their food drive during .the month of December. The Council would welcome any suggestions from the Planning Commission regarding the "old library building". Councilwoman Glick .further stated that the City is going to reassess property. in certain areas. There will be a work session on this tomorrow night. The City Council also approved the lease of the old Wien counter to AAI and voiced a non-objection to the Collier Water Rights Application. B.

They had also sworn in two new members and had two public hearings. C. Harbor.

Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting December 8, 1976 Page 4 D. Airport Advisory Committee Report: Mike Hamrick Mr. Hamrick stated that the Airport Advisory Committee had met and discussed the information pertaining to the planning grant thoroughly. The .initial cost of the .study was thought to be in the area of $60,000.00. FAA applied for $80,000.00 and the revised cost is now $123,000.00. Jim. Perham of FAA believes that this amount is feasible, but would have to be spread over a two year period. At .the last two meetings, the Committee has discussed what they would like to see included in the study. E. Administrative Report. Mr. Wise stated that. two developers .of auditoriums and skating rinks in Anchorage approached him regarding the construction of an auditorium in Kenai with a.2,000 person seating capacity and a stage and the capacity to include a restaurant, hockey rink and bowling alley. Vice-Chairman Raymond asked if the Commission had any recommendations regarding disposal of the "old library building". There were none. 7.
