Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Page Four Regular Meeting April 26, 1978 ~~ B. Valhalla-Heights Subdivision, Lot 13, Block 5-A: Exception Request. Mrs. Robinson was present and explained the background of this request. Mr. Ottesen read both the Borough and City Codes regarding set back requirements. The Robinsons were issued a building permit from the City of Kenai on August 9, 1977 to build a house on the corner of Standard Drive and Richfield Drive. On the permit, 15 feet were designated as the required set back. The set back should have been set at 25 feet as the house is located on a corner lot. The house is now 75o completed. The Robinson's relied on the information given on their building permit and acted in good faith to comply, finding out after the house was almost completed that the set back is not sufficient. The Commission and Mr. Ottesen discussed the situation, finding that a variance would be the proper procedure to handle this situation; but in light of the fact that the City was in error, a variance procedure would put the Robinsons under undue hardship in further delaying the completion and financing of their house. MOTION: Mr. Bryson moved, seconded by Mr. Monfor, to voice a nonobjection for the Borough to approve Block 5-A, Lot 13 of Valhalla Heights Subdivision exception request on the encroachment problem. Motion passed unanimously. E. Release of Airport Bluff Land and Development Plan. The Commission acknowledged Mr. Wise's memo and went over the drawings. Discussion followed on what would be the best use of this property. Chairman Raymond-said he would like to see the land surveyed and lots assigned, perhaps a master plan could be drawn up to best utilize the area. The possibility of a master plan for this area was discussed. MOTION: Mr. Monfor moved, seconded by Mrs. Loosli, to request Council to hire a design firm to do a master plan of this area in order to develop proposed lease tract parcels and a right-of-way plan with planned utilization of the land to include the items requested in Mr. Wise's memo of 4/21/78 taking into consideration the bluff area and the existing sewer lines and utilities. The Planning and Zoning Commission would work with the designer to draw up a master plan. Motion passed unanimously. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Page Five Regular Meeting April 26, 1978 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. Administrative Report The memo from Mayor O'Reilly was noted and discussion followed on the necessity of park land in the Woodland and Redoubt Subdivisions.

Mr. Ottesen went over the two memos in the packet regarding conditional use permits and Zoning Code revisions. He proposed a review of these items at the next Planning and Zoning meeting. The secretary was instructed to put these two items on the May 10th agenda under Old Business. B. Scope of Services, City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan.
