1. ROLL CALL

Betty Glick.
2. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Alaska 1984
Jim Blanning, Wayne Regelin,
Turner, and Ex-Officio Member
A Council resolution No. 8.1-13 requested the Planning and Zoning
Commission review and make recommendations concerning the observance
of the year.
Chairman Bryson opened the meeting to the public for comment. Hearing
none, the issue was brought back to the Commission, with Mayor O'Reilly
making the opening comments.
Mayor O'Reilly informed the Commission that a representative from the
Alaska '84 Committee had appeared before the Council which resulted
in the resolution. $2,000 has been appropriated to Kenai and a
deadline has been set for March 1 for a plan to be presented to the
State legislature and in order to meet that time line, the community
will have their plans ready by February 16th. The Council and Mayor
are asking the Commission to consider the matter and determine if
the plans should go ahead and if so, what direction the plans should
take.
Jim Blanning asked if any input had come from the
Citizens, Mr. O'Reilly answered that there was no
has been received has ranged from thinking Alaska
to "the Alaska '84 Committe is not approaching it
too much money is being spent".
Chamber or Senior
t. What input that
'84 is a good idea
in the right way,
Betty Glick commented on celebrations in the past including an idea
of a pageant or exposition depicting past history. Wayne Regelin
suggested tieing it in with Fourth of July celebration in the summer
and staying divorced from Alaska '84, doubting that money .will really
be forthcoming from Juneau.
Jack Castimore used Sitka as an example of celebrations where that
City had a summer art festival with local artists displaying their
works, music, Russian dancers, and tours of local interests. Kenai
could have much the same thing with tours of. the oil industries, and
using Kenai's own youngsters as guides, have places such as the
Russian church set up their own displays depicting Kenai's past, with
each place on the route including their own pictures or items of
interest utilizing videos acquired from such places as the college
or high school.

Paul Turner expressed the opinion that all mentioned were good ideas,
and that a task force would be necessary to implement any further
objectives, however, pointed out that he was opposed to spending an
amount such. as four million when that amount could well be used in
different, much needed areas. The entire Mental Health budget for
a year is four million. However, if Kenai doesn't use the money,
Anchorage will.
MOTION:
Wayne Regelin moved, seconded by Paul Turner to table the issue of
Alaska '84 until later in the meeting.
Motion passed unanimously.
4. AGENDA APPROVAL
MOTION:
Moved by Paul Turner, seconded by Jack Castimore to approve the agenda
without correction or change.
Motion passed unanimously.
5. APPROVAL•OF MINUTES of January 13, 1982.
Phil Bryson asked that on page 3 under reconsideration of Swires
Subdivision, the vote be shown and on page 3 paragraph 4, the word
'water' be deleted to clarify the intent of the statement.
MOTION:
Paul Turner moved, seconded by Jack Castimore to approve the minutes
with the corrections and changes.
Motion passed unanimously.
6. OLD BUSINESS
A. Lease. Application: .R & P Enterprises, Lots 1, 2, and 3 of FBO
Subdivision
Mr. Roth and Mr. Pitts had been asked by the Commission at the last
meeting to draw up a written plan that would outline the phases and
dates of expected completion, these were submitted in writing to the
Commission.
KENAI PLANNING AND .ZONING COMMISSION Page 3
Regular Meeting, January 27, 1982
Mr. Roth and Mr. Pitts explained their .written proposal and asked
for questions/input. Mr. Swalley, airport manager did not have
any comments other than the application with the additions met. with
his approval.
The Commission asked Mr. Pitts and Mr. Roth if the financing still
appeared to be available; the answer was yes. Mr. Turner asked if
they were planning to haul freight also, the answer was yes, they
had their own planes for this. Mr. Bryson and Mr. Turner voiced
their concern regarding landscaping and since there was supposed
to be chain link fencing up, it was decided between the Commission
and Mr. Roth and Mr. Pitts that trees would be left along the.Willow
frontage outside the fence.
MOTION:
Wayne Regelin moved, seconded by Paul Turner to approve the lease
agreement to R & P Enterprises, FBO Subdivision, lots 1, 2, and 3
and that the development plan be made part of the lease agreement
and that by May 1982, tree removal and site preparation must be
significantly underway, completed by October 1982.
Motion passed unanimously.
6. NEW BUSINESS
A. Request for lease modificationfrom Chris Stoehner/Arctic Aviation
John Stoehner of Arctic Aviation appeared before the Commission on
behalf of Chris Stoehner. Mr. Bryson asked Mr. Stoehner to briefly
explain to the Commission what his application entailed, which is
the combination of clam processing and machine repair and overhaul
service.
Commissioners asked Mr. Stoehner if any provisions have been made
regarding the clam processing, he answered that traps had been proposed
for the sewer lines and that 6,000 gallons of water during an 8 hour
period would be flowing through the lines. Phil Bryson asked Mr.
Stoehner how many people were employed in the processing business.
Mr. Stoehner answered that there were over 200 with 50 being located
at the cannery.
Jim Blanning asked if the FBO lots were restricted to aircraft use only,
if they were not FAA controlled, Jim Swalley answered that they were.
Mr. Stoehner pointed out that transporting the clams would be done by
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Regular Meeting, January 27, 1982
Page 4
airplane, specifically Arctic Aviation planes and later by other
airlines.
Phil Bryson asked Mr. LaShot, City. Engineer for input on the issue.
Mr. LaShot felt that the new sewer system is not geared for any type
of processing facility and went on to state that he had talked to
Chris Stoehner who stated she was looking into getting some documentation
that would prove it not harmful, however, Mr. LaShot had talked with
a representative from D.E.C. who said if properly screened and maintained
it may not be too much of a problem and felt that more research needed
to be done on it.
Wayne Regelin asked Attorney Delahay for his opinion, asking specifically
if this operation would be illegal. Mr. Delahay answered that he didn't
believe it was, however, stated that there were a number of reasons why
he could not recommend it, 1) it is not an airport related activity,
the fact that the clams are transported in and out is not a controlling
factor, 2) the machine shop since it would be working on airplane engines
would be airport related and should be encouraged if in fact, it is
not available in Alaska, and the. Commission must closely look at .the
fact that it would be antagonistic towards the FAA and the Council who
have tried to hold the properties on the airport for airport facilities
only, and 3) the attorney's office has found Arctic Aviation to be
uncooperative, unresponsive, and irresponsible in the conduct of two
of the leases they currently have, and went on to explain the details.
Jim Blanning stated that his feelings were that with the FBO restrictions
P'~would conclu e approval of the clam processing plant and in .addition
to the apparent unresolved problems with the City he would have problems
approving the application.
MOTION:
Wayne Regelin moved to approve the lease modification application of
Arctic Aviation for a clam processing and machine shop facility,
seconded by Paul Turner.
Phil Bryson asked that"some consideration be given to a motion not
allowing the clam processing but allowing the engine overhaul shop".
Wayne Regelin stated that he would look favorably on an engine overhaul
shop once an agreement was made with the City. Jack Castimore also
went along with this.
John Stoehner stated that the viable business would be more the clam
processing than the machine shop and should the clam processing proposal
fails, then he would have to withdraw his petition.
VOTE:
Motion failed by unanimous roll call vote
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Page 5
Regular Meeting, January 27, 1982
MOTION:
Jim Blanning moved, seconded by Jack Castimore to remove Alaska '84
from the previous tabled motion and bring it back before the Commission.
Motion passed unan_.mously.
Paul Turner introduced Resolution No. PZ82-1 which recommends participation
in the celebration and requests. the Mayor appoint a task force for
planning.
MOTION:
Paul Turner moved to adopt Resolution PZ82-l, seconded by Jim Blanning
MOTION Amendment:
Wayne Regelin moved to strike item C from the resolution.
Motion failed for lack of second
Phil Bryson asked to go on record as saying "I feel the City is being
thrown crumbs to get general support throughout the State and though
I do not approve of the concept either, I also don't approve of their
per capita percentage of the project proposed for planning in the area".
VOTE on original motion:
Motion passed with Commissioners Quesnel, Castimore, Lewis, Blanning
and Turner voting yes; Commissioners Bryson and Regelin voting no.
7. OTHER BUSINESS
A. City Council Report: Betty Glick.
The City Council passed.a resolution which awarded a contract to complete
a topo project.
Carmen Gintoli submitted a redesign or update on the airport schematic
The .Council passed motion. to purchase back the leases from Bob Roper,
on recommendation .from the Harbor Commission, and Mr. Roper accepted
the offer.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Page 6
Regular Meeting, January 27, 1982
B. Borough Planning Report: Betty Glick
For information, a presentation was made by David Stevens from Alaska
Division of Parks on Kenai River Master Plan.
Swires Subdivision rezoning was approved.
,~ y s ~
Kes~irz~~ section 21.01.010 paragraph B had been recommended
for deletion by the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Sam Best
felt that it would be best to leave that wording as stated due to his
interpretation being if the Borough-was proposing to site a new school
and they had chosen an area that did not allow schools then the Borough
would have- to petition the cities to rezone and go through the process.
Added: "subject to review .and recommendations by the affected munici-
pality and be consistent with land use."
C. City Administration Report: Bill Brighton
The Borough was granted a five year extension for their land fill project
in section 36 and at the direction of the Council the City has protested
that extension and asked for consideration from the Department of
Environmental Conservation.
8. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
None
9. COMMISSION QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Wayne Regelin asked if The Russian Church had obtained their building
permit and. if there had been any followup on the letters Mr. Brighton
had sent out. Mr. Brighton stated that he had not as yet, however,
there would probably be court action pending. A report will be made
at the next meeting.
Wayne Regelin asked if the lease for Kenai Air has terminated or what
was happening on it. Bill Brighton stated that they had set February
as the date for a meeting on the lease. A report will be made at the
next meeting.
Paul Turner offered his support of the City protesting the dump site
extension and if there are issues the Commission could give support on
or lack of support to, the Commission would like to know. Mr. Brighton
expressed the desire to hold off on any action until receipt of a response
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Page 7
Regular Meeting, .January 27, 1982
Dr. Turner also wished to voice his support of the enforcement the
City Administration has taken and the effort taken to clean up
the City. And the third comment would be to ask for input at the
next meeting on what is happening with the non-airport related
businesses along Willow Street as pointed out by Jim Swalley.
Mrs. Glick, and Mr. Brighton pointed out that these lands were leased
at a time when the City needed money and when the original leases
were extended, the intent was to be airport related, however, was
not enforced.
Jack LaShot asked the Commission to review plans drawn up related
to the lands surrounding the Senior Citizens Center as requested
by the FAA. Chairman Bryson stated that it would be done after the
meeting.

Meeting of January 27, 1982
6. NEW BUSINESS
Page 1
A. Request for lease modification from Chris Stoehner/Arctic Aviation
Phil Bryson - the next item for business is a request of a lease modification
from Chris Stoehner Arctic Aviation. Chris and John Stoehner, John
is here to represent Arctic Aviation. John would you could you go
through your project generally first.
John Stoehner - Mr. Chairman, members of the Planing and Zoning Commission.
Arctic Aviation is proposed or has asked for an amendment to its lease
on lot 1 block 3 of the general aviation apron. This, lease property
has been used ever since its development for strictly a tie down for
small general aviation aircraft. We're requesting the change of this
to allow a building to be put on this peice of property and to be
utilized by two leasees one of them being my wife Chris Stoehner with
Northern Lights its a company by the name of Northern Lights Fisheries.
Northern Lights Fisheries has been in existance for about 4 years and
clam processing sounds kind of yukky but ah, its been a viable business
now for four years and what we're trying to do on that is to draw her
in to a closer proximity with the rest of our enterprises here with
Arctic Aviation and Arctic Fuel Services and our other holdings and
interest that we have going. For the past years she has had to lease
facilities from various other canneries namely Doris Lashly from Sea
Catch, Rolland Schwanke with Seafoods of Alaska they`re out in Sterling.
This created last summer quite a few problems for us, she has some
technical equipment that she uses in her processing plant which I am
probably the firemost world authority in the state of Alaska on this
equipment I have been out there numerous times to have to repair it,
it seems to pick the wrong times to break down and unfortunately the
height of her business also happens to be the height of Arctic Aviation's
business and namely during the fish haul season so it draws me away from
the business of Arctic Aviation and the fueling facilities which I am
having to control and monitor here at the Kenai Peninsula Airport and
drive to where ever she is doing her business which last year was
Sterling which involves an hours' drive just to get out there and
back to the airport plus my time involved in working with her problems.
So what we're trying to do here is to centrally locate our concerns,
also the other half of the building we are proposing at this time ah,
myself and my Kent Holland utilizing the additional space in this
building for establishing a machine shop. Now the world is flooded
with machine shops but this particular machine shop will be a specialty,
it will meet a requirement that is not fulfilled inside the state of
Alaska at this time it's a machine shop that will be able to chrome
cyllinders we're talking aircraft cyllinders bore these cyllinders,
weld-the cyllinder heads, ah remove and replace valve gu, ah valve
seats and weld crank cases, line bore these cases after they`ve been
VERBATIM TRANSLATION
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Page 2
welded (inaudible). At the present time any of this work has to be
sent stateside. This not only creates a delay factor for the consumer
it also creates a increase cost in having to ship these parts outside.
I would say roughly the cost of sending a cyllinder a single cyllinder
out ah, to a repair station outside the state of Alaska at this time
to be roughly one hundred dollars, fifty dollars each way air freight.
And if I specify air freight because these components on an airplane
represent down time for an airplane. The airplane is down it`s of
no value to its operator and owner. So, ah, what we are proposing
here is a machine shop that is capable of doing this work inside the
state of Alaska resulting in a, a benefit to roughly all the operators
and aircraft owners in the state. Ah, I'm sorry I didn't get this
paper work in to you in time so you would probably take it home and
read over what we have proposed, ah, I tried to answer as many questions
that I could think of at the time with ah, with my, ah, written synopsis
of the proposed operation.
Phil Bryson - do you have more than one lease lot leased right now.
John Stoehner - yes, we have three ah, three lots that are leased on the
airport
Phil Bryson - which
~ John Stoehner - they're all ajacent to each other
Phil Bryson - lots 1 and 2 of block 1 and block, lot 1 of block 3.
John Stoehner - yes
Phil Bryson - and your proposing a facility on lot 1 block 3
John Stoehner - that's correct
Phil Bryson - and there are no buildings presently on
John Stoehner - there are no buildings on that lot. Now this lot does not,
I might add, this lot does not adjoin the taxi way and it is a back
lot with ah, this access gained from Beaver Loop. And so the lot, the
building will be situated such ah, I'm sorry I don't believe when
the, drawings gave out there I showed that
(inaudible) Several people talking, presumable describing the drawing
John Stoehner - (beginning of tape, part of sentence missing) ah, main line of
sewer will be taken this spring. We hope to tie into the water and
sewer with this facility also with this facility at the time (inaudible)
that will preclude us digging up some pavement after they've got it
paved and everything else if we can do this on a timely basis.
Lee Lewis - you mentioned the fact that you process the ah, you know
processing the clams requires some specific obligations I guess on
the sewer
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 3
Meeting of January 27, 1982
John Stoehner - oh, ok, on on my ah, synopsis there I did indicate .that
we would be using roughly six thousand gallons during an eight hour
period of processing. Ok, we will install sand traps it will be a
sand trap and a influent trap prior to the ah, sewage going into the
sewer line. Yes, now. this will be a pump out. trap. Now we've used
this ah, with ah, out at ah, the Brinkly plant we had last summer,
ah that we leased from Rollin Schwanke. We just, we had to pour a
slab with a sunken trap then the water would flow across the top,
sands influence and stuff would settle out into it and then we could
pump this out or bail it out and ah, we had no problems with the
sewer, and there we were using a regular septic system. So we had
no problems with the septic system, that we had out there by using
this ah, this trap.
Wayne Regelin - this trap collect not only the sand and the shells but
tha soft tissue of the clam
John Stoehner - soft tissue that would be suspended in the water no. They
they wouldn't be heavy enough to say flow out but there would be very
little of that ah, the way that they are processed the women are working
the people that are doing the cleaning are using the bowls and they're
cleaning right into a bowl. This bowl is then dumped into a different
container and then the container is taken out and dumped separately.
I This isn't dumped into the sewer system at all.
Phil Bryson - how many employees do you anticipate
John Stoehner - at one point last summer, my wife had. over 200 employees.
This is including the people across the inlet that are doing the ah,
digging for the clams and people that she had hired for the cannery.
Phil Bryson - I'm more interested just the ah, ah, the cleaning operation
at the airport
John Stoehner - ah, I would say roughly fifty. Fifty employees, it would
be on this side rather
Jim Blanning - arn't the FBO lots arn't they restricted to aircraft use,
ah, I thought, are those the lots that the FAA has put the restriction
on
Jim Swalley - my understanding is they are restricted to aeronautical activities
Jim Blanning - where does that leave us, does that preclude a clam processing
plant
John Stoehner - the other thing that I forgot to mention in, is all of this
product is flown. It's brought in across the inlet by aircraft and once
its processed that is going for human consumption it is flown out and
this has, its ah, amounted to quite a bit of money just for the transportation
services of this product, not only for Arctic Aviation who is the primary
VERBATIM TRANSLATION
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Page 4
John Stoehner - (continued) contractor needless to say but even for the
other ah, FBO's on the airport and ah, they have used Beetlefeld,
Southcentral Air, even Kenai Aviation for transportation and ah, a
large percentage of it has gone out on Wein Air, through their air
cargo space and the majority of it has gone into Anchorage so to be
shipped out on Western because they do have ah, ah midnight flight
that makes straight connections to the, ah, where the majority of the
product does go. Ah Oregon. But ah, it is the operation and the way
that it functions, is very much tied in to aviation and and does
require aviation or aircraft.
Phil Bryson - the ah, the machine shop isn't addressed in the ah, in your
site, your building floor plan
John Stoehner - its ah, in the written ah, development that I wrote up and
submitted, it is addressed ah, its a two page typed
Phil Bryson - ok, yea, I got it
John Stoehner - our ah, the problems that we're running into this, is its
a fairly new venture for Mr. Holland and myself, we've been working
on it now for about a month and ah, what we're waiting for at this
moment is I have written to ah, government publications in Washington
D.C. and have requested some tech orders and millstech publications from
them and I'm waiting on these to be sent to me so that I can write what
is known as an operations manual. This operations manual is needed
by FAA ah, they will have to take it and study it and approve this
manual before we can be certified and issue a repair station license
for doing this work. Unfortunately there are businesses in the state
that do this kind of work and they have their operations manual and
even though FAA has copies of these operations manual, it's still
private property and so it's not a matter of me writting off to FAA
and saying hey, send me electro chome plating's operation manual cause
I want to operate like they do. It's not that easy I have, we have to
write our own manual.
Phil Bryson - Jack ah, could you address the impact on the City's sewer
system
Jack LaShot - well, our new sewage plant, well our old one for that matter
too, was not geared for any type of processing facility. I talked to
Mrs. Stoehner just before Christmas about this but I haven't heard
from her since then, but ah, she was the last time I talked to her looking
in to getting some documentation that (inaudible) wouldn't be harmful
and I have talked with a fellow from D.E.C. who said if properly screened
VERBATIM TRANSLATION
.Meeting of January. 27, 1982
Page 5
Jack LaShot - (continued) properly, screens were properly maintained, then
it shouldn't be too much of a problem, however, in order to be sure
I think there needs to be some more research done on that. Also,
(inaudible) the load shouldn't be much greater than a typical restraunt
(inaudible)
John Stoehner - its not very, the load is not very much, 6,000 gallons is
not that much
Jack LaShot - over what time period
John Stoehner - in ah, eight hours. And that, I think 6,000 is on the high
side. Ah, unlike the fish processing plant, we don't have constantly
running water, ah over the product, with a clam, unfortunately the more
you wash it the less it tastes. It washes all the taste out of one all
you wind up is a piece of rubber and this is one of the problems that
we ran into last year, ah in trying to conform to one department of
agricultures inspectors wishes we ran water over the product continuously
so there was water running across the tables, ah, the people were doing
the work it was running over they're hands and this is not warm tempered
water it was. cold water coming-right straight out of the well and ah,
we got some very unfavorable reception to this product, people were
are ultimate consumer was writing back and telling us the stuff was
tasteless and ah, it was washed out, but ah, in researching the regulations
we found out that this was not a requirement that this was one inspectors
personal ah, wish that we did it so we did discontinue that and we have
gone back to just using the bowls and what this is is when the product
is put into these bowls they're filled with water, and so, the product
is submerged but its not a running water and the product is cleaned
in these bowls and then the bowls are of course dumped. Ah after the
product is processed. And ah so, ah, the gal may be working 10 - 15
minutes with this one bowl and the same water so, the water is not
constantly changing over like ah, like with fishing industry down
here where everything is moved by water and, the whole ah, the whole
system is based on this running water. Ours is not.
Phil Bryson - are the people you hire, is this a, is this a skill or is it
more like a herring squeezing operation is it something
John Stoehner - its a skill. Its ah, ah, the cleaners are are using a a
little knife like a paring knife and ah it is a skill cleaning these
little devils, if it came down to the point that I wanted to eat clams
and I had to go over across the inlet dig 'em bring 'em back over here
and clean 'em and then cook, I'd rather pay my wife and go buy it and
pay her price. A lot easier. But ah, some of these some of the gals
paid on a peice meal basis they make upwards to $15 to $18 an hour.
So its not its not ah, a, job that somebody's going to just, you know
try it one time and
Phil Bryson - yea, your not going to pick kids off the street to be doing this.
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 6
>~ Meeting of January 27, 1982
John Stoehner - she has ah, gals now that have been working for her for
four years. That started out with and they're still
Phil Bryson - Wayne
Wayne Regelin - I'd like Mr. Delahay if all of our discussion is really
necessary if it's illegal
Ben Delahay - I don't think it is, ah, if I may Mr. Chairman
Phil Bryson - go ahead
Ben Delahay = I don't like to be disagreable or or try to throw road blocks
in the way of improvements or development but there are a number of
reasons why I could not recommend this the first being is, as mentioned
it is not within any possibly meaning a an airport related activity.
The fact that the clams may be flown in and the product may be flown
out is not ah, controlling. If it were then anything could be airport
related from making shoes to growing hot house tomatoes, ah just the
fact that its going to be on an airplane or it has been on an airplane
does not make it an airport related activity. Ah, the machine shop
itself of course with working on airplane engines would be. And
certainly if its not available in Alaska something like that should be
encouraged ah, if that were all it were and I can sympathize with Mr.
1 Stoehner's desire to concentrate the activities of his family so that
it would be more efficient for him but that is not sufficient for this
body or the council to approve something that would be antagonistic not
only to any possible ruling the FAA might make but also as to what the
council has said about holding these properties on the airport for
airport related facilities. I have other opposition however in addition
to that and that is that my office has found Arctic Aviation uncooperative
unresponsive and irrisponsible in the conduct of two of the leases they
have now. In one of them, lot 1 block 1 of GAA, they were written a
letter on May 20th, 1980 with an amendment to their lease for renegotiation
of the rental rate which was due July first 1980. There was no response
to that letter. There was another letter, this was sent certified mail
there was another dated July 25th 1980 reminding them that the amendment
had not been returned. There was no my file shows no response to that
letter. In September of 1980 there was ah, letter written from finance
ah, relating to some oral statement that she had received I believe from
Mrs. Stoehner claiming that Mr. Stoehner had made a protest to this ah,
rent increase ah, at some meeting, I believe with the Planning and
Zoning Commission, naw the council
John Stoehner - the city council
Ben Delahay - ah, the minutes of that city council meeting were examined
and it was found that Mr. Stoehner had ah, asked to be heard but had
not appeared. Ah, and Mrs. Parnell in writing this letter suggested
they make a letter of written protest which of course then would be
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 7
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Ben Delahay - (continued) available and would be in the ah, file. There
was no written answer to this letter. March 19, 1981, there was
another letter noting a delinquency in their leases of some 2400
dollars. Ah, and warning of cancellation. Ah, evidently there was
no response to this letter. In May 19, 26th 1981, ah there was
another letter regarding return of amendment ah, on June second 1981,
I wrote a letter ah, because I had heard I'd been shown this letter
of ah, from finance saying that there had been some or made a claim
of some oral protest, I wrote them a letter and asked them either
return the amendment or start to negotiate that is was their respons-
ibility to negotiate if they didn't agree and if they wished to
negotiate that we had hired a an appraiser a registered appraiser
to appraise this property and if they had any objection they should
get an appraiser of their own choosing to appraise it and if there
was a difference we could negotiate the difference. To date I have
had no response to this letter which was written in June of last
year. Ah, the rate that Arctic Aviation is paying on that land
is $926.82 a year and anything under $2400 dollars a year is supposed
to be paid in advance on July first. Ah, the rate of the amendement
after an and I don't believe that this has been negotiated since 1966
there has been no change in it. The amendment requested a rate of
$2640 starting July first 1980. At the time that the letter was written
about these delinquencies they were delinquent ah, since that time they
have brought they have been paying the old rate not the new rate not
the proposed rate but the old rate they have come in and made monthly
payments until they have caught up with all of their delinquencies
based on their old rates. They have still as far as I know made no
negotiations they have made no attempt to talk with me they have
made no appraisals. On ah, lot 2 in block 1 it came up for renegotiation
and for July first 1981 this last year there was a certified letter
sent out from the city on March 26, 1981 and the that rate had been
previously amended in 197 lets see 1976 it must have been to $2,000
a year. The amendment brought would bring this up to $3,000 a year.
Again there was no response to this letter. There was a city letter
of reminder went out May 26th 81 reminding them that the amendment
had not been returned there was no response to that letter. There
was a another letter went out June second and there was a response
to that letter, by Arctic dated June the fifth 81. Ah, there was
also a letter in the first lease dated June fifth 81 ah, I don't know
it didn't refer to which lot but it just it merely said in two brief
paragraphs that they were protesting and something about ah, the city
attorney has acknowledge our oral protest as to new lease rates, this
letter will also serve as written protest, we are joining other leasees
in efforts to determine a fair and just rate. The lease they have
with the city doesn't say anything about joining other leasees they
are to negotiate with the city. And this they have completly failed
to do. Ah, as long as the leases are not they have two leases that
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 8
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Ben Delahay - (continued) are not in good standing with the city. I would
oppose granting any time of modification or any new lease to Arctic
Aviation. I believe that at one time there was also an application
of either Arctic or Mr. and Mrs. Stoehner, ah to lease lot 1 and 2
of FBO Subdivision. As I remember it they failed to go through with
that until some other party came in with a lease offer on 1 and 2
and then they came in with an attorney and loudly protesting saying
they were first and with the consent of the other party who agreed to
move down, either two or three lots I forget just how many were involved,
ah, they were allowed to come in and make application and their application
was pursued and then when it come came to the final step of getting a
lease, they never went through with it. The other party got leases
to I don't know, 4, 5, and 6 was it and there were no leases on 1,2
and 3. Ah, this seems to be consistent with the conduct of their
business affairs now, I don't know how much of this is related to
economic circumstances. There may be a great deal of it. But that
does not excuse the fact that they have not performed and basically
what is before you now is something that I feel is against city policy,
its against FAA policy in so far as a fish plant a clam processing
plant is concerned and, I do not .believe it would be wise for the city
to consider any such modification as long as Arctic Aviation has not
lived up to the terms of their leases on the other two leases to lots
1, and 2 in block one, in fact if I don't hear from someone pretty
soon about this its going to be a matter of sueing to cancel both
of those leases for failure to perform according to terms of the leases.
Phil Bryson - any other comments
Jim Blanning - I'm a little confused ah, this is called a lease modification
is that that correct is this a lease modification or this is an original
or a reapplication. I went back to some of my old notes and find that
they. had applied for lots 1, 2, and 3 in FBO Subdivision in 1979 and
at that time they had asked for it for tie downs of aircraft and
developed into a complete seafood processing facility fuel service
warehousing and tie downs. Complete seafood processing facilities
was lined out apparently and I guess he improved it but subsequently
as Mr. Delahay says, in correspondence with their lawyer, the last
word I had on it was, ah, the lawyer says for the foregoing reasons
my client must reject the city's-.counteroffer and I guess itwas never
I guess the lease was never consumated is that correct
Ben Delahay - that`s correct. Now what is proposed here is a modification
of the lease to lot 1 block 3 and this lease, ah incidentaly should
be coming up for renegotiation the first of July of this year 1982.
But the purposes for which the lease is issued are aircraft parking
and storage. So to do anything else they need a modification. Even
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 9
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Ben Delahay - (continued ) for a machine shop.
Phil Bryson - does that clarify your
Jim Blanning - well I guess I guess on our lease application lot description
is blank here, ah, and it wasn't clear to me just what lots they were
asking for. So apparently its just lot 1
Phil Bryson - lot 1 of block 3, general aviation
Jim Blanning - they're asking for a modification
Phil Bryson - other comments
John Stoehner - I ah
Phil Bryson - go ahead John
John Stoehner - ok, ah, Mr., your name?
Phil Bryson - Delahay
John Stoehner - yea, Delahay, I'm sorry, definitely done his homework. Ah,
~ is it correct we did make lease application on lots 1, 2, and 3 ah,
' north of the terminal up there. And our initial ah, application we
did propose putting this ah, processing plant the same as I'm trying
to do right now. And this was rejected by the city, at that time we
didn't have very much knowledge of how much affluence, how much water,
and and things like this we were going to be running through and the
city became concerned that ah, there would be too much for the system
to handle. And so we did amend the lease application and ah, true
enough we were granted this application with our amendment to ah, not
put in the processing plant. We were granted that in January the middle
of the winter, with a lease rate of sixteen hundred dollars a month.
And we were expected to pay this starting in January. Now we went back
and we asked the city to amend thisand allow us then to start the lease
application effective I believe in July at a time of the year when we
could get in and clear the property, get it stabilized and ah, where it
could become productive. Not in the middle of winter paying sixteen
hundred dollars a month as Mr. Delahay pointed out. I'm not a rich man
otherwise my ah, leases would not be in arrears, but ah, sixteen hundred
dollars a month was just a little bit too much to try and bite off. And
ah I, at this point I thank the city council for not ah, amending it
and allowing me to take those lots because I would at this point in time
I would definitely be in trouble because our whole economy in this area
especially around the airport has been alot of downhill slide. This
is also one of the reasons why you don't see me trying to expand my
flight department and putting in aircraft sales or ah, or enlarging the
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 10
Meeting of January 27, 1982
John Stoehner - (continued) flight school because its not there. I have
come in now tonight and asking for a amendment to this lease to put
inihe facilities that I know will work. I know its viable cause I've
been in it four years. Thank you.
Ben Delahay - Mr. Chairman
Phil Bryson - yes
Ben Delahay - on that point Mr. Stoehner's correct, ah, as to that, as I
remember the council did come back and offer to delay starting that
lease and Mrs. Glick can correct me if I'm wrong on about March the
first on the grounds that as of that date they could start clearing
that land and there were trees all over it in order to be ready for
construction when it could start in either May or June so that they
could get on the land and start rather than delaying to the first of
July, ah, so the city did offer to meet them half way but.
Phil Bryson - what are the desires of the commission
Jim Blanning - I would think with the the FBO restrictions, ah, right there
would would conclude (inaudible)to a clam processing plant and in
addition to the apparent unresolved difficulties with the city
administration I would think we have problems. approving the application
as submitted
Phil Bryson - are there any lots ah, reasonably adjacent to the airport
that would ah, conform to such an ah clam operation that could be
purchased. We're ah, assuming that the ah, clamming is acceptable
to the ah, operation of the sewer system
Ben Delahay - I would have to review the zoning commission as to zoning
restrictions I, I'm not sure about industrial ah, zoning lots near
there, ah, I know they're commercial but whether they're industrial
I just don't know. Ah, there arn't-any lots ah, in the immediate
vicinity, there may be some in the subdivision available ah, ah, just
east of the airport off of ah, Willow Street, over on Trading Bay
Road or somewhere in that area
Phil Bryson - Cook Inlet Industrial
Ben Delahay - I'm not sure whether all the lots in there are taken or not
and I'm not sure of the zoning of those lots. Jim are you aware
Jim Swalley - the area your talking Trading Bay that is light industrial.
Ah, I have to admit I am remiss, I've got an appointment or semi-
appointment with the Administrative Assistant for the last two days
and due to commitments we couldn't get together to try to explore if
there are other properties available for this type of a ah venture.
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 11
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Jim Swalley - (continued) not necessarily on airport lands but, ah, the
city owns many other lands also. And ah, like I say, we had an
(inaudible) get together either yesterday afternoon or this afternoon
but her time and my time didn't coincide to do this. But ah, the
city does own other lands, if they are properly zoned in the right
district or suitable of this type venture I don't know.. Ah there is
a possibility like Mr. Delahay says that ah, there could ah, be on other
airport lands also. It would take research on this matter
Ben Delahay - its a matter of availability, again I'm relaying on memory
but it appears to me that those lots in there are either sold or
leased or they're. pretty well taken up. And ah, but, I, my second
objection the first one of course is the use of the airport for non-
related (change of tape)
Phil Bryson - is anyone prepared to make a motion? Wayne
Wayne Regelin - yes, all motions have to be in a positive manner and I make
a motion that we approve the lease, Arctic Aviation, ah, for ah, clam
processing plant on subdivision ah, block 3 lot 1
(parts inaudible due to rustling papers and low voices)
Phil Bryson - its been seconded ah discussion, ah, ah, I would request that
ah, some consideration be given to a motion not allowing the clam
processing land but allowing the engine overhaul shop
Wayne Regelin - ah, I would feel ah, I would look very favorably. on a, on an
application to ah, have a engine overhaul shop, once you have reached
an agreement with the city, ah, I believe we, would be remiss if we
would allow ah, leases to be modified, in the leases, the, the, current
ah, lease is not being ah, properly handled, but or even if we don't
think so, and apparently are you going to planning to negotiate with
the city on these leases
John Stoehner - yes, what happened on these on all this airport property
when the city hired an appraiser to come in he appraised all of this
property at fair market value and this is what our lease rate is based
on, not that they had a restricted use, for air ah, for aircraft tie
down, and as stated in my ah, my ah, plan there, right now aircraft
tie down is not a profitable business. I have 32 available tie down
spaces, I have as of this morning when I wrote this plan I had 16
tie down spaces leased, as of 5:00 this afternoon I only have 15 because
I lost one more customer, because he joined the Civil Air Patrol for
$12.00 a year he gets free tie downs. Or if they go to Kenai or over
to Soldotna and get paved, drive through tie down spaces for two hundred
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 12
Meeting of January 27, 1982
John Stoehner - (continued) a year. You know, ah tie down spaces ah, rental
is not a profitable business. And obviously, I'm going to have to do
something with this property to make it profitable and this is what I
hope you all take into consideration tonight.
Phil Bryson -further discussion on the motion. Jim
Jim Swalley - I don't have discussion on the motion, I would like to ah,
kind of explain, sort of the background on the situation, ah, both,
ah, in Mr. Stoehner's favor and against Mr. Stoehner. Number one in
past years, by however, whatever thinking of planning and zoning of
council at that time we do have other ah, businesses in that same
subdivision who are not aeronautical related, even though ah, reading
through the case histories and for lease applications that they
supposedly to be in, more aeronautical related in one sense or another,
ah, I'm referring primarily to some businesses along Willow Street.
Ah, getting back in specific to Mr. Stoehner's case the lot that he's
talking about is an isolated lot, meaning without the lot number block
1 lot 2 right in front of it, on this diagram it appears the Arctic
Aviation primarly lot (inaudible due to rustling papers) block 1 lot
1 next to it is lot 2 which is by the lease and applied for many years
ago, ah, a tie down lot, or at lease below it is~;the lot in question
and that lot by itself has no airport access without going through
} block 1 lot 2. They have no taxiway access (inaudible) So these two
lots have got to go together one way or another. Ah, what's happened
is that ah, we're all kind of victims of ah, many years ago, platting
and planning and so forth, and ah, what I'm trying to say is that this
lot without the lot facing the taxiway is not of aeronautical use.
However, we are restricted to maintain the airport in an aeronautical
mode, so ah, no what am I trying to say, we're tied in, locked into
a situation, the Stoehner's are locked into a situation this commission
the city council's locked into a situation for actions that were taken
many many years ago and it's going to take some kind of action or
whatever by starting with this body, and not just this one situation
we have others on the airport like this. But .starting with this body
and then to council, we're going to have. to remedy alot of these
particular situations that we got ourselves locked into, and when I
say we I mean the city and depending on how far back we want to go
but anyway the city itself is locked in, not just this one situation
but many of them, so .its just likely something to think about to try
to avoid future problems, such as this.
Ben Delahay - Mr. Chairman
Phil Bryson - yes
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 13
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Ben Delahay - if I may be heard, airport related purpose doesn't necessarily
mean you have to taxi an airplane into it, a project such as Mr.
Stoehner has suggested, a machine shop, you can drive up in a truck
and deliver a a parts or buy parts, these are airport related, ah,
and certainly if Mr. Stoehner brings himself, into the good graces
of the city by living up to the terms of his other leases, ah, I can
.see no reasons why his lease should not be ah, modified for any
airport related activity. The reason that the use given on that lease
was for airport parking and storage was because that's what Arctic
Aviation requested at the time they leased the property. Normally
the city doesn't have any problem modifying the lease as long as the
purposes fall within the those for which the land can be used.. And
I'm sure that they wouldn't in this case, and if Mr. Stoehner's unable
ah, to use that land for other purposes, ah, and if it isn't paying
for the ah, use that he has it for, ah, so that he feels that it is
a loss to him and either the price he's paying now or what he might
be paying under renegotiation in '82, I would suggest he approach
the city manager for a cancellation, the city has cancelled other
airport leases where ah, people feel that ah, they're they're not
economically sound. And held them for someone who comes along who
does have an economic use for them. Certainly the city is not in a
position to demand that someone pay lease money more than land is
worth for the purpose the only purpose that they can use it for, but
if that is the only one they can use it for and it's not worth it to
them let them cancel it. If they do have another purpose that's
airport related, well then. let them request a modification of the lease.
We have another lease not very far from there that brought up the
same argument a while back and, and ah, they had an attorney who
made a very extensive argument that for tie downs it wasn't worth it.
I belive that ah, there was, ultimately an agreement a settlement
of that matter and they're paying, ah, quite a bit more than ah,
Stoehner is now paying on lot 1 block 3.
Phil Bryson - I would, I would say if I ah, looking at the subdivision and
ah, I would be more inclined to attached that lot 1 block 3 with lot
1 block 2 in not allowing any ah, if those are broken apart, I guess
they are right now in leases, but ah, there's no access, to the street
from lot 2.
John Stoehner - nor is there any taxiway access to lot 1
Phil Bryson - thats right, yea
(voices covering each other and inaudible separately)
Phil Bryson - so I, you know, if more than anything else they should be combined
VERBATIM TRANSLATION Page 14
Meeting of January 27, 1982
Phil Bryson.- (continued) rather than broken apart.
Ben Delahay - at least to the same party so at present time they are combined
Phil Bryson - yea, but its>.a separate lease
Ben Delahay - separate leases
Phil Bryson - but that's another matter. Ah, further discussion?
Jim Blanning - I feel very comfortable with the engine overhaul shop and ah,
perhaps if these were separated out at a later date and brought back
that way, ah, I'd feel comfortable with the whole project but right
now it says clam processing and the engine overhaul, and I would
have a hard time with the clam processing under the circumstances so
the discussion
John Stoehner - Mr. Chairman. Ah, I'm not a gambler, per say, I don't own
a very good poker face to start off with, ah, one of the reasons why
we have put the clam processing in there is because I do know that its a
money maker. I can make money with it. A machine shop, that's a gamble.
But I`ve got one business in there that I know can .carry it. The other
one, I'm willing to gamble on. But, to say to stand here and tell you
than I'm going to a machine shop in that airport and we're going to be
~ able to do all this, (inaudible) and to stand here and tell you, yes,
everybody in the state of Alaska is going to send me their engines and
allow me to do their work, there's no way. I'm as big a gambler as the
man that has lot, ah lot number 4 up there with that air freight building
setting on it. He gambled, its been setting empty for over a year.
Why I don't know, maybe his lease is too, maybe his rental on the building
is too much he's asking too much. But, building is setting there and its
empty. I'm not the big of a gambler. Ah, at this point I will have to
say that if the clam processing is turned down then I will have to withdraw
my petition.
Phil Bryson - anything else. Question

O~YAPP8O9-~D ~
B-1 Ruby Coyle - Public Safety Within the City of Kenai,
Parking Lots & Roads
Mrs. Coyle noted there was a discussion regarding
safety on KSRM, Sound-Off program recently. She has
discussed in the past an alternate route around the
City. She is aware the State has to put stop lights
in, but she believes we should join forces to petition
the State for a stop light where Beaver Loop crossed
the Highway. We should not wait till someone is killed.
We also need a traffic light at the other end of town.
The 35 MPH speed limit should be moved beyond Walker
Lane. Also, the street corners are not being sanded
enough. The Fire Dept. area is one. Another factor
is the height of the snow berms. There are places
where you cannot see at the corners. Another problem
is in front of Carr's store. Everyone says someone
else is responsible. She thinks it can be worked
out with Carr's. Councilman Wagoner suggested City
Manager Brighton write to our Legislators to work
with Dept. of Highways for additional lights. He
noted we have had 5 studies he knows of, they just
do another study. Police Chief Ross said every year
his dept. is in correspondence with the State on
all traffic problems. The State is considering
moving the speed limit to Walker Lane. The traffic
lights are a problem. Tractor trailers at the
intersection of Spur have to go into 2 lanes to turn.
Money has been requested in the 1984 budget for a
study. The Carr's parking lot problem is a philosophical
and political decision that should be made by Council.
It is on private property. Anchorage has accepted this
responsibility. The schools, apartments, and businesses
enforce their own parking lots. Councilwoman Glick
noted they had many meetings a while ago and agreed
not to interfere with private business. Mayor O'Reilly
asked if Willow & Spur was a problem with the semi's.
Chief Ross replied no, they use alternate routes.
He added we have .had studies on all major turns in
the City for traffic lights.
MOTION:
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Glick, that a message be directed to DOT to
accelerate corrective measures necessary.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
B-2 Alaska 1984 Representative
Rod Pfleuger and Jim Sharp.
Rod Pfleuger explained he is the fund raiser, Jim
Sharp is the controller. He said Alaska 1984 was
•~+.~-~-N .-, ~.. .emu r+u ~. ~.iaay vaa ~,aac a/a11vL wvulu uCbl.1 VY L11C
intent on getting it done by 1984. Any requirements
for facilities would be worked in with State planned
appropriations. It is not their plan to build any
new buildings. Councilwoman Glick asked if there
were any other communities in other areas allocated
~` funds. Mr. Sharp replied they have an office in
Fairbanks coordinating the effort up there. Mr.
Pflueger said Alaska 1984 can take the form of a
program or project or both. They are asking the
Kenai community what is best needed for Kenai. The
Central Committee will solidify and coordinate.
Councilwoman Glick asked if they had a target date
for 1984. Mr. Pflueger replied that is still being
considered. They would like to extend the tourist
season front and back. They would like it to start
Jan. 3, 1984, that is when we became a State. Mayor
_. O'Reilly asked, has there been any definition on the
+ project, what is local and what is State share? Mr.
`~ Sharp replied, it is still being determined. Council-
man Wise suggested oil is our central industry. The
emphasis should be on promotional of courses in
petroleum industry at the Community College. The
industry has influence on the State and the Greater
Kenai area. Mayor O'Reilly noted Council did pass
a Resolution supporting the effort and appointing
a committee. He has withheld appointing till he
finds out how Council feels about this. Councilman
Measles asked, what if we form a task force and they
decide Kenai does not want to get involved? Mr. Sharp
replied, the City has no liability as far as the
$2,000 is concerned. Mayor O'Reilly said the Task
Force would. have to be completed by Feb. 17, 1982
'~~ to present to Council. Councilwoman Glick suggested
Planning & Zoninq Commission take on the responsi-
bilities, the Commission is already in place. Mayor
O'Reilly added, at least do the 1st part of the task
and publish for public input. Then we could get
the commission started. Councilman Wagoner said he
is against the whole process, it is a waste of time
and money.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to formalize Planning & Zoning Commission
be delegated the task force responsible in dealing
with Alaska 1984 responsibilities.
Motion passed, with Councilman Wagoner voting no.
Councilman Wise asked, do we have official notification
of the $2,000 grant? Mr. Sharp replied it will be
in the mail tomorrow, officially this is notification.
Finance Director Brown said he would draft an approp-
riating ordinance for the next meeting.

Arctic Aviation, Inc.
Development and Use of Lot 1, Block 3
General Aviation Apron
It is the intention of Arctic Aviation, Inc. to construct
a 30' X 60' steel building on Lot 1, Block 3, General Aviation
Apron with a lease arraingement with Northern Lights Fisheries,
Inca Northern Lights Fisheries, Inc. will occupy slightly more
than half the building for the purpose of processing Razor
Clams, and the remaining portion of the building will be
leased to Mr. John Stoehner and TIr. Ken Holland to establish
a certified repair station for the repair and overhaul, of
aircraft engines and componants.
Northern Lights Fisheries, Inc. and It's owners have been
in the Clam processing business for four years with all of
its raw product being .flown into the Kenai Municipal Airport and that
product which they produce for human consumption being air-
freighted out of the Kenai Municipal Airport; resulting in
a substantial amount of business for air charter and airfreight
companies. It is the desire of N.L.F., Inc. to be located on
the Airport to further reduce the handling and transportation
time of their product; and the desire of its owners to consolidate
other businesses.
The proposed lease to Mr. Stoehner and Mr. Holland for
their repair station will result in a service not now available
in Alaska. Their proposal is for the repair and overhaul
of Aircraft engine and componants that are now having to
be sent outside of Alaska because of no repair facilities
of this nature being in existence in Alaska. It is their
intention of establishing a machine shop that will be able
to weld engine cases, align bore., machine mating surfaces,
chrome cylinders, weld cylinder heads, and grind cylinders.
The nature of these two businesses in the same building
will cause the water and sewer having to be completely separate;
also a two hour gire wall separating them. Northern Lights
Fisheries, Inc. realizes their higher usage of the water and
sewer, and through their experience has determined it to
be approximately 6,000 Gallons per eight-hour production.
N.L.F., Inc. will have installed a trap to eliminate effluence,
(i.e.: sand, shells) from reaching the sewer system.
It is the desire of Arctic Aviation, Inc. to construct this
building for further utilization of it's leased airport property.
Arctic Aviation has experienced a decline of general aviation
need for the down space of aircraft. Arctic Aviation, Inc.
presently has space for thirty-two (32) aircraft with only
sixteen (16) rented spaces. The proposed building site
would eliminate only three (3) tie down spaces. _
~ Employee vehicle parking would be in the existing parking
facility at Arctic Aviation, Inc., and would create no
interference with aircraft. The city of Kenai has proposed
a perimeter security fence for the airport with a gate access onto this
x
lot. This will pose no problem for tenants or the city of
Kenai.
A water main, sewer main, street paving, curbing and
gutters are being constructed inthe spring of 1982. It is hopeful
that the sewer and waterlines for this facility can be
tied in during this construction period, thereby eliminating
any additional excavation having to be performed at a later
date.
