OLD BUSINESS A. .Lease Application: F.B.O. Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, and 3 Donald and Karen Creamer Betty Glick commented that at the last Council meeting a motion wa.s made stating that Lots 1, 2, and 3 of F.B.O Subdivision could be leased on a short term basis for no more than five years. Under those circumstances then no one would want to go in and put up buildings and that is the reason why the motion way made. Keith Kornelis made a presentation. on why these lots should not be leased as they would be needed for Terminal expansion and parking.. Jim Swalley was of a different opinion and thus a compromise was made to lease on a short term basis only so that the status of the lots could be reviewed at a later date. Kenai Advisory Planning and Zoning Commission Page 3 Regular Meeting, June 10, 1981 ~} long-term lease, they should pass a resolution and send it back to Council. Mrs. Creamer commented that if they stay with the short-term limitation then the City will only .get small businesses to lease such as seasonal fish haulers. Council made this decision because they did not want any buildings on this land. The Commission further discussed future expansion needs of the Terminal building. It was stated that the City has recently requested proposals for the expansion and that schematics have been done. Money has. been requested from the .State for this. They felt that the expansion would take care of the needs of the airport for the next 20 years. If the population doubles or triples, there is the possibility that it would not be sufficient. The motion failed with Phil Bryson and Jim Blanning voting negatively. MOTTON: Jim Blanning moved, seconded by Wayne Regelin, that after further review of the Creamer lease application for F.B.O. Lots 1, 2, and 3, the Planning Commission finds that this is an acceptable application for the development of these lots ~~ and would recommend to Council that they review their decision .regarding a five-year lease only. If Council approves the ..long-term lease then the Administration could start the proceedings to finalize the application with the final application going before the Planning Commission for review as regards the development plans. The motion passed unanimously. B. Lease Application: Fidalgo Commercial Center ,. Block 4, Lot 7 Sidney Webb The secretary commented that Gentry, the former applicant for this lot,: had withdrawn their lease application and that Mr. Webb had drawn up a new site plan moving the building back so that it would not conflict with the 150' setback from the Spur Highway. The Commissioners commented that they would like to see some landscaping especially around the sign area. MOTION: Wayne Regelin moved, seconded by Jim Blanning, to accept the site plan with the recommendation that the applicant landscape the lot similar to what was discussed on the first site plan. ~ The motion passed unanimously. ~Keaai Advisory Planning and Zoning Commission Page 5 Regular Meeting, June 10, 1981 `~ 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. City Council Report: Betty Glick Mrs. Glick commented on the last City Council meeting. The annual budget was adopted and included $2,500 for Planning Commission members for the purpose of transportation to Municipal League and seminars.

The water and sewer hook up fees have been dropped from .$400 each to $50 each to cover inspection fees.. The lease application for Blue Mt. Ventures was approved in regards to the land swap. B. Borough Planning and Zoning Report: Betty Glick Mrs. Glick commented on the last Borough meeting and stated t=l~tseveral subdivisions were reviewed for the City. The Borough made a recommendation to the Assembly to accept the pre-draft on the Coastal Zone Management and to direct the Planning and Zoning to work with Cramer, Chin, ~ Mayo in preparing a draft for another round of public hearings in the fall. Sre commented on Homer's recommendation for drainage easements. Also; the Borough deleted some Planning positions and are now ~~inding it difficult to operate. There were ~'. approximately 24 preliminary plats and 20 administatively approved plats before the last meeting. The Planning and Zoning is a little overburdened. If they get the proposed money to build local roads, they will have to hire 3 to 5 to the administer those funds and will need clerical help, engineers, and surveyors. The City of Kenai does all these jobs in house. C. City Administration Report 8.
