MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved to approve the minutes of October 13th with the amended sentence, seconded by Commissioner Lewis. VOTE: There were no objections 5. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion: Sign Code - Tim Wizniewski Mr. Wizniewski related that he had been approached by citizens of Kenai complaining speifically about the Town & Country pumping sign which is in clear violation of the sign code in that the sign is at a location that the business is not, the flashing signs that are too close to the roadway and are a hazard, and the third being the enforce- ment issue and size of signs. Mr. Wizniewski felt that without enforcement Kenai may end up with bigger and bigger signs with the situation getting out of control. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, October 27, 1982 Page 2 Discussion followed with input from all Commissioners, Bill Brighton, and Mr. Wizniewski which included such points as: Kenai is very nice and does not need commercialism; perhpas need an educational process for businesses that do not come to the City for building permits thus ignorant of the sign code; cannot enforce all signs that are not in compliance; perhaps change in the code is necessary in order to have control over the more serious types of hazardous signs. MOTION: Commissioner Roth moved to request City Council to direct administration to enforce the sign code, Commissioner Turner seconded. After much discussion the motion was withdrawn with consent of second. The Commission then decided to draft a resolution to the Council to clarify the Commission's position and request assistance with the problem. Dr. Turner will have the resolution ready for the next meeting for approval. b.

PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 9. COMMISSION QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Dr. Turner asked Tim Rogers if any progress had been made on the Townhouse ordinances. Mr. Rogers indicated that some research was being done, however he felt that perhaps the best way of handling townhouse applications was on a particular basis, i.e. each one be considered as was the last, an individual basis. Commissioner Roth stated that he had received several complaints from the public regarding the snow plowing. He explained that although complaints are probably received each winter, could there not be a better system of plowing or at least of handling the complaints. The most complaints dealt with the plows leaving berms in driveways making it hard work to clear and in some cases nearly impossible to } get out of driveways. He went on to explain that the problem could ' easily be remedied with an attachment and a little time in making the attachment work and save the public clot of work and the city alot of complaining. 10. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. The next meeting is Wednesday, November 10, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. in the Kenai City Council Chambers.
