The Commission reviewed the material submitted by Mr. Jackson, Chairman Castimore called for either Mr. Jackson or anyone from the audience who would like to address the variance, no one was present.

Motion passed unanimously KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Page 2 Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 5. OLD BUSINESS a. Lease Application: Additional 100' of land adjoining the current land leased by Dairy Queen, Thomas M. Ackerly & Patrick M O'Connell Bill Brighton explained to the Commission that this application is over a year old, the reason being that the area had. to be platted. The plat is now done and the application requests approval. Commissioner Blanning asked for an update on the lease, Bill Brighton stated that there was none that he was aware of. Construction is planned on the site but no specifics were available, only that the facility would be used for a combination retail and office space, and no time line was made, only that construction would begin in the spring. Commissioner Blanning felt that a time line would be appropriate along with an update in the application in those areas that were not complete. Chairman Castimore asked that this application be placed on the agenda for the next meeting, the Commission agreed. b. Extension of Temporary Permit for Trailer, Cason's Casing Crews Inc., Mr. William Burtram Mr. Burtram appeared before the Commission to explain that he was requesting the extension for one year until the living quarters above the building housing the business could be completed. The reason for the trailer was housing for a person to watch over the business. Dr. Turner asked Howard Hackney if there were any objections from the building code standpoint, Mr. Hackney indicated there were none and further that the city would probably begin billing Mr. Burtram for water and sewer that he has been hooked up to as this is not a normal use at this site. Mr. Burtram stated there would be no problem. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved, seconded by Commissioner Quesnel to approve a temporary permit to Mr. Burtram for one year only. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously Bill Brighton asked Mr. Burtram for clarification if he would object should the City bill him for water and sewer, Mr. Burtram indicated there would be no objections on his part. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 c. Capital Improvements Page 3 There had been only one formal proposal for Capital Improvements submitted at the work session by Chief Winston and this will be placed on the items for prioritization. Both Harbor Commission and Parks & Recreation Commission have not yet presented their lists. Commissioner Turner introduced his resolution as requested at the last meeting. Dr. Turner read the resolution and explained his reasons for doing so. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to approve Resolution PZ82-31, Capital Improvements, seconded by Commissioner Roth. Dr. Turner explained for the record that alot of time,. energy, money, and work went into the prioritization of capital improvements and then fir that decision project to be sidetracked through the course of the year, and it looked like someone took aim with a shotgun at our capital improvements prioritization and proceeded to go hither and yonder. If the list is not going to be followed why waste the time and this includes the public's time in public hearings. VOTE: Motion passed with unanimous approval 6. NEW BUSINESS a.a. Mrs. Sally Bailie of the Parks & Recreation Commission Mrs. Bailie appeared before the commission requesting support of the Planning & Zoning Commission in the matter of the gymnasium. After much deliberation the Commission had come up with the idea that cedar siding or the siding that is already there is much prefered. The Commission contacted Mr. Blazy regarding his bid and found that wooden siding wood be $9,000 less than the original bid of $625,000. Council has tentatively decided to go with steel siding and that the youth center will also be included in the steel siding increasing the cost an additional $19,000 over the basic bid. The Commission felt that apart from cost, for aesthtic reasons, wooden siding would be better, with the youth center being an example of how wooden siding is holding together. Commissioner Lewis asked if Mrs. Bailie knew why the Council had changed the recommendations of the wooden siding, Mrs. Bailie said perhaps it was due to the upkeep. Commissioner Lewis asked if the building KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 Page 6 e. Preliminary Plat: Neether Subdivision - Resolution PZ82-21 The Commission reviewed the plat which is zoned Rural Residential and is situated in the Candlelight Linwood area. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Roth to approve Resolution PZ82-21 with correction of negative findings 8, 9, 10. VOTE: Motion .passed with unanimous approval g. Preliminary Plat: Eagle Rock Ent. Subdivision - Resolution PZ82-24 The Commission reviewed the plat noting that a more detailed status of surrounding land was needed. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to approve Resolution 82-24, Eagle Rock Ent. Subdivision with correction of negative findings of 7,8,9, seconded by Commissioner Smalley. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously h. Preliminary Plat: Glass Subdivision - Resolution PZ82-25 The Commission noted that the plat showed a garage on the lot line of the subdivision, Mr. McLane explained that he did not have an accurate location of a center line alignments but was sure that the garage was further away than drawn and that the drawing of the garage that close was a precaution. Mr. McLane further explained that there had been a similar situation and the way it was corrected was to put a note on the plat that the garage could remain, but if there ever were a fire or some type of reason for the garage no longer being in that location it could not be rebuilt on the same location and would have to meet all requirements. Tim Rogers indicated a pre-existing nonconforming use would fall on this plat, and that the inclusion of item 11 would cover the problem should it arise later. The plat can be approved as it is. For the record, the motion will indicate correction of item 11. Mrs. Glick suggested that approval could be granted contingent upon submittal of an asbuilt prior to final plat approval.. It was decided that this item will be added as ~~12. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to approve Resolution PZ82-25 with corrections of 8,9,10,11 and that 12 will read °twith approval of an asbuilt submitted prior to final plat approval; seconded by Commissioner Roth. There were no objections. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 Page 4 would then be like a strand building. It would be more similar to the high school pool area. Another consideration for keeping the costs down was perhaps the purchase of two of the lots the gymnasium and youth center sit on, thus saving a portion of the draw from the general fund, and pointed out that the Senior Center now going up is wooden siding. It was further pointed out that steel siding is not tamper proof or damage proof and is rather ugly, especially if it is damaged or dented. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to support the endorsement of the Parks & Recreation Commission on the concept of the wooden siding for the proposed gymnasium for financial and aesthetic reasons, seconded by Commissioner .Smalley. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote a. Special Consideration: 25' Setback Encroachment = Ryan's Subdivision Mr. Mark Passe Mr. Passe and Mr. McLane were present for presentation and explained the location of the house further explaining that the request is to remove a cloud on the title and that when an asbuilt is done, they are required to show the setbacks as they are shown on the plat, when they are replatted the setback line is removed. Mrs. Glick indicated that the Borough does not require setback lines on plats and also stated that the Borough Planning Commission had tabled this item pending notification by the Kenai planning commission and also due to the lack of action taken on the McBride vacation request. It was pointed out that this was not a case similar to the request made by Mr. McBride for several reasons, one being that no portion of a right-'of-way is requested and also an asbuilt has been submitted where the other request had a definite reluctance to do an asbuilt, and in this case there is no hardship to the city. Perhaps the best procedure would be to remove the setback lines from the plat. Tim Rogers excused himself from comment on the issue since his wife owns the lots, however did quote the codes that would be appropriate; 21.76.220 (c) KMC 14.10.090 dealing with setbacks, variances, and conditional uses, and pointed out a variance would not be appropriate. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION _~ Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 Page 5 MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to recommend an exception to the building setback line requirements and that these be removed from the plat, in Lot 1 Block 1 Ryan Subdivision, seconded by Commissioner Smalley. Mr. McLane explained the details of removing the setback lines and platting and Chairman Castimore asked if Mrs. Glick would bring the intent of the Commission to the Borough. VOTE: There were no objections. b. Pat Wheeler - Uniform Fire Code Mrs. Wheeler was not in attendence and this item will return to the agenda at her request at a later date. c. Preliminary Plat: Burnett Subdivision - Resolution PZ82-19 Jack LaShot explained the reason for the numbers of plats submitted which is the result of letters sent out by the City Manager requesting property owners to submit preliminary plats by a certain date in order for the City to place sewer and water services to these projects. Those plats in the area of Candlelight and Linwood will be rezoned by the city to meet the requirements of the city services. The deadline date for those plats bordering 2nd Avenue is October 15th, the rest have been extended. Chairman Castimore indicated that there has been a confusion over deadlines in that he has received phone calls at home from property owners asking for clarification. Bill Brighton explained that 2nd Street borders Evergreen, Haller, and McKinley but is a project that is planned for completion prior to spring and those people have an October 15th deadline while immediately behind that is a project that will not start until next spring. The Commission reviewed the plat with the positive and negative findings asking that the government lot number be shown on the final plat, and that access to lots be by cul-de-sac only showing access to lots. MOTION: Commissioner Blanning moved to approve Resolution PZ82-19 Burnett Subdivision with correction of negative findings 8,9,10,11,12, seconded by Commissioner Smalley. VOTE: There were no objections. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 Page 7 Commissioner Smalley indicated the importance of handling this plat in this manner the city will end up with problems further down the line. i. Preliminary Plat: Mattfield Subdivision - Resolution PZ82-26 The commission noted that setbacks are not shown and item 11 asks if the house indicated meets the zoning code and is an asbuilt necessary before final approval. Mr. McLane indicated that this is an asbuilt location of the house and does fall within the 25' setback requirement. This subdivision is located at Lawton Drive and Linwood Lane. Mrs. Glick was asked if an asbuilt would be necessary at the Borough level, Mrs. Glick stated that she did not feel it would be. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved to approve. Resolution PZ82-26 Mattfield Subdivision with correction of negative findings 8,9,10,11 with addition of "setback" to item 11, seconded by Dr. Turner. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously j.

MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Turner to approve Resolution PZ82-27 with correction of negative findings 8,9, 10, & 11. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously k. Concept Approval of a Dome Structure - Dr. Haus Chairman Castimore requested a space for Dr. Haus. Dr. Haus explained that he was interested in leasing City property in the vicinity of the D&A market and B&C auto parts in Etolin Subdivision but before he invested in the land, he needed a concept approval of the type of structure he wished to place on the lot. Dr. Haus presented colored pictures and brochures representing the dome structure. The Commission and staff viewed the structure and found that it violated no codes; airport, building, zoning, but would like the fire code looked into by Chief Winston. Dr. Haus answered Commission questions regarding landscaping by indicating that he would like as many trees left on the KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION _~ Regular Meeting, October 13, 1982 Page 8 lot to enhance the aesthetic attractiveness of the building. The Comission agreed. Dr. Haus further indicated that the building would be three levels, the basement level would be a music store, the top floor being recital hall and studio. The Commission felt that the dome building would be an asset to the area and gave concept approval. 1.

Preliminary Plat: Terrace Townhome Subdivision (revised) Resolution PZ82-20 This revised plat clears up the garages that appeared on the original plat.
