ROLL CALL Present: Jim Blanning, Lee Lewis, Mary Quesnel, Bob Roth, Hal Smalley, & Dr. Turner Bill Brighton, Howard Hackney, Jack LaShot, & Jim Swalley from City Administration Absent: Jack Castimore 2. PUBLIC HEARING a. Request for Rezoning that portion of the Section 34, SW% lying South of the Spur Highway, bounded by Lawton, Tinker & Swires Road excluding SE 4. Vice Chairman Blanning called for comments from the public. Mrs. Pat Knowles spoke against the rezoning stating her primary reason being the size of the lots after the rezoning, she would like to see the character of the area remain and allowing larger lots will change this. Discussion followed concerning why the City wanted the area rezoned for Mrs. Knowles' edification. Vice Chairman Blanning brought discussion back to the Commission. Commissioner Smalley asked abut a decision on the matter of Mr. Roy Wright who had appeared at the last meeting. Bill Brighton stated that he had checked with the attorney and "once the process is legitimately started he can go ahead with his plans to put trailers in there." Commissioner Smalley asked what legitimately would be starting the project as he had been working. at developing that area for some years. Mr. Brighton stated that gas available to those lots, if he had developed one lot with one trailer that would be a different story, however if he has put in the gas, roads, & utilities to all the lots, then he is in the process of development. Commissioner Smalley spoke to the guidelines that the Commission has come up with in the past with other rezoning requests which include compatibility of the zoning within the area, attempting to keep within the zoning policies of the City and attempting to avoid spot zoning. Both Mr. Brighton and Mike McLane discussed the "nightmare" of attempting to rezone individual parcels for those property owners wishing to take advantage of the City water & sewer. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 r Page 2 MOTION: Commissioner Lewis moved that the Planning & Zoning Commission adopt a resolution to approve the request of the .rezoning of Section 34, SW% lying South of the Spur Highway, bounded by Lawton, Tinker & Swires Road excluding SE4 from Rural Residential (RR) to .Suburban Residential (RS), seconded by Commissioner Smalley. Commissioner Lewis stated that he did agree. with Mrs. Knowle,on the reduction of size of lots, however the City needs room to grow and with the addition of City water & sewer this is a natural way to go. VOTE: Commissioners Blanning, Quesnel, Turner, & Smalley voting yes; Commissioners Lewis and Roth voting no. Motion passes. 3. AGENDA APPROVAL Planning Secretary requested 2 additional items be added to the agenda, a preliminary plat for resubdivision of Spur Sub. No. 2 and Lease Application for Mr. Aase for lot 3 of Spur Sub. No. 2, and for discussion under 8-b liaison for Borough Planning Commission. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved approval of the agenda as amended, seconded by Commissioner Smalley. There were no objections 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of November 24, 1982 There was .one correction on page 1, that the name Lacy be changed to Lyse and page 5, last sentence of first paragraph deleted. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved, seconded by Commissioner Smalley to approve the minutes as amended. The motion passed unanimously 5. OLD BUSINESS a. Sign Code Ordinance A letter had been written by Mr. Dick Mueller pertaining to the sign code which had been submitted at the meeting for consideration. The Commission reviewed the letter. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 Page ~~ Commissioner Blanning asked Bill Brighton to explain the line of succession for the introduction of the proposed changes, Mr. Brighton explained that it should go on to the Council who will hold public hearings. Commissioner Smalley introduced the working document stating that during the drafting, they had used the codes from Seward, Anchorage, Homer, Palmer and other areas to find the best parts that would reflect the best needs of the City of Kenai and hopefully would clean up particular areas that the present code did not speak to, areas such as enforcment, particular signs that the code did not speak to in any plain language, brought out the Uniform Sign Code definitions into the document. to make it a workable document. During the public hearings concerning home occupations it was brought out that code revisions in these areas are needed. Flashing signs were discussed at length. The Commission noted the section dealing with flashing signs was not clear when read with the original section.. It was agreed that the sentence should read: No flashing signs and intermittent illumination signs are permitted in the City of Kenai, (21.76.160 A.S.) and delete the rest of the sentence. By eliminating the flashing signs, Kenai would be going along with what Anchorage is trying to do for some of the same reasons, that they are a nuisance, an eyesore, and a potential hazard to the motorist. The Commission added a section dealing with signs on churches, public buildings, charitable institutions and so on which the old code never spoke to. Under the old code between 70 - 90% of the signs in the City were illegal, now there are perhaps 10 - 15%, and those would have a period of time to make the appropriate changes. A section .for enforcement was, added to assist in defining the old code. Mr. Hackney & Mr. Brighton. both addressed this section pointing out that not the Building Inspector only is designated as the official enforcing this section, but his representative also which hopefully will alleviate future work load problems. Mr. Brighton asked if the flashing lights were turned off, would it still be classified as flashing sign and would it be allowed. Under the addition, only flashing or .intermittent signs are not allowed, the illuminated is spoken to. Mr. Brighton went on to state that what the Commission has done is clarified the signs sitting in the ground (poles), addressed not-for-profit situations, (schools, little league, Oilers, the Lion`s Club, Chamber of Commerce, (etc) and KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 Page 4 enforcement and eliminated temporary signs which include flashing, illuminated and defined their construction all of which has cleared up the questions that Mr. Brighton had under the old code. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Turner to send the working. document on to the Kenai City Council for their consideration. and approval. VOTE: The motion. passed with unanimous roll call vote. NOTE: Commissioner Smalley asked to be excused to leave the meeting, granted. Commissioner Turner asked that the minutes reflect the request for recommendation be for approval. Commissioner Smalley pointed out that the Council had requested the Planning and Zoning Commission take a look at the code and draft a peice of work to recommend to them and this would be the document. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Lease Application: Concession Lots 5,6,9,10,11,12,13; Mr. James Do le Mr. Doyle was in attendence to answer any .questions. Mr. Doyle stated that he had a contract with SeaLand to do their trailer work in the Kenai area and are in need of parking area which led to the request for the lease application. Mr. Swalley, Airport Manager pointed out. that lots 5 & 6 are in the right-of-way which is part of Gusty Subdivision and that when the final plat is in, these 2 lots could not be leased, however Mr. Brighton pointed out that no buildings would be constructed on any of these lots and the final plat will take some time in coming through. Mr. Swalley was asked if these lots were clear for lease, he answered that they were. Commissioner Roth asked if any hazardous chemicals would be stored in-the trucks or vans, Mr. Doyle indicated they would not. No fencing was planned, Access would be mainly from the road beside Estes music only. MOTION: Commissioner Roth moved to recommend approval of the lease application of Mr. Doyle with the exclusion of lot 5 & 6, seconded by Commissioner Turner. Commissioner Turner asked that the minutes reflect that Mr. Doyle stated there would be no buildings, no fencing, and that Mr. Doyle begin KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 Page 5 immediate use of that area with his plan to gravel this spring, this prepedent because Mr. Doyle has no site plan, there being no site plan because all Mr. Doyle wants to do is use the area. VOTE: The motion passed unanimously The Commission agreed to table the preliminary plats until a later meeting and move on with the more pressing matters, with the exception of Wesbet Subdivision since Mrs. Warren was in attendance. Mr. McLane agreed to hold on his plats until the January meeting. b. Preliminary Plat: PZ82-50, Wesbet Subdivision The Commission reviewed the plat finding no problems, and hearing the input from the city engineer. The Commissioner discussed the right-of-way, 30th Street, however it did not appear to be a problem. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved to approve PZ82-50 Wesbet Subdivision with correction of negative findings 8,9, & 10, seconded by Commissioner Roth. VOTE: There were no objections. c. Memo to Boro Regarding Street Names The Commission reviewed the memo that was to go on to the Boro concerning streets on preliminary plats that .had not been named. The memo was intended to alert the Boro to the fact before final approval was given. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved that a memo be forwarded to the Boro enumerating the streets in question, Eagle Rock Ent. Sub., Russel, Wince Acres, and Neether Subdivision, seconded by Commissioner Lewis. VOTE: The motion passed unanimously. c. Preliminary Plat: Spur Subdivision No. 2 - requested by Mr. Vic Tyler Mr. Brighton explained that he had requested this be on the agenda due to the time factor of going through Council first and back to Planning. Mr. Tiler wishes to buy Thompsons Corner and .lease the lot, however KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 Page 6 obtain financing and develop the lot the lot will have to be subdivided into 3 parcels. Commissioner Turner asked Mr. Tyler 'if it was his intention of building on the large lot in the front of the existing building, Mr. Tyler stated that he wished to put an Arby's on that location-with a drive through on the Beaver Loop side. What Mr. Tyler is asking for is a consensus of the Commission to go ahead and have the lot resubdivided and obtain the lease. It was stipulated that the lease with a site plan come back before the Commission. By splitting these three lots he will then have three separate leases. MOTION: Commissioner Lewis moved. to recommend approval of the resubdivision of Lot 1 Block 1 Spur Subdivision No. 2 as specified and identified as lA, 1B, 1C with the stipulation that any further development of the original holding be submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission, seconded by Commissioner Roth. VOTE: Commissioner Turner indicated that with 82000 squar2feet approximately Mr. Tyler's problems could be clearly felt, however a problem lies with that area becoming a compact commercial district with traffic problems. The idea is a good one, however dense aspect of the develop- ment is disturbing. Mr. Blanning agreed and further elaborated that for the City to derive benefit from that lot something will have to be done. _Attempting to keep that lot from overcrowding is a question. The Commission addressed the landscaping and aesthetics of placing a development on that lot and this will be further addressed when the actual .lease comes back before the Commission. Mr. Tyler agreed with the comments and will work with the Commission. The motion passed with Commissioners, Blanning, Quesnel, Lewis, & Roth voting yes; Commissioner Turner voting no. d. Lease Application: Lot C, Block 1, Spur Subdivision No. 2, Mr. Aase The Commission reviewed the lease and discussed the survey error and felt that it would not affect the lease since the .error had been noted and was being corrected. The question of landscaping was discussed with Mr. Aase since his site plan showed the entire lot cleared and paved with no landscaping at all. The Commission explained to Mr. Aase that the Commission is "very gunshy" of accepting sparse applications without being able to review it and this is based on past experience. The Commission and Mr. Aase agreed to have, as part of item 4 of the lease, a clause which would read to the effect that what trees there are will remain ~ KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, December 8, 1982 Page 7 with Mr. Aase putting in additional trees at his discretion with lighting. MOTION: Commissioner Turner moved, seconded by Commissioner Lewis to approve the lease application for Lot 3, Block 1, Spur Subdivision No.2 submitted by Mr. Aase with the amendment that what trees on the Spur right-of-way or between lots shall remain. VOTE: Motion carried with unanimous roll call vote. 7. PLANNING None 8. OTHER BUSINESS a.

Mr. Brighton indicated that at least 2 names be submitted to the Borough for Stan Thompson to make a selection. Mr. Roth stated that depending upon the day of the week the Borough Planning Commission met, he would be interested. No other Commissioner felt that there was time available.
