APPROVAL OF MINUTES of January 11th and January 25, 1984 MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved approval of both minutes as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Ordinance 891-83 (Substitute) - Building Survey Requirements Mr. Labahn introduced the ordinance by explaining that the Council had reviewed it and referred it back to the Commission for consideration of two points: 1) A distinction between Commercial and Resdiential improvements, and 2) A penalty that would be severe and specific to a building encroachment violation. Mr. Labahn explained that he had spoken with the City Attorney and both were in agreement that penalties that were specific and/or different could be discriminatory. ~ A blanket provision already exists which would cover both items 1 & 2 therefore, Mr. Labahn recommended that the ordinance stands as is. Chairman Lewis asked -~ KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, February 8, 1984 Page 2 how item 1 came about; Mr. Labahn stated that the encroachment by the Uptown Motel started consideration of a major encroachment by a commercial entity as opposed to residential. Chairman Lewis requested Mr. Hackney's opinion. Mr. Hackney stated that he would prefer the ordinance stand as is. There is now a provision in the code for a fine for violations by the day, however, in the past it has never been enforced. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved to reaffirm Resolution 891-83 Substitute as previously submitted, seconded by Commissioner Bryson. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. The letter from ATG, Mr. Keller, was noted and it was felt that his memo does not address City requirements. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Preliminary Plat PZ84-8: Rockey Point Acres S/D Section 36 Bruce McLane from McLane & Associates was present to introduce the plat to the Commission. Councilman Wise asked if there was a minimum depth to the lots on the bluff as none was indicated on the plat; Mr. McLane answered that the minimum lot depth was 200' which included a 100' setback with some lots measuring more than the 200'. Mr. Labahn stated that it appears to accurately depict with wishes of both the Council and the Planning Commission, however, there was no time for staff review of the plat since it was submitted that day of the packet. It was noted that the streets would have to be named and should the commission desire, the name of the subdivision changed. The name Rocky Point Acres stems from a geographic location and acres was added because a Rocky Point S/D already exists. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, approval of PZ84-8 with correction of negative findings and staff comments with preliminary name of Rocky Point Acres remain as identifier. VOTE: KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting, February 8, 1984 Page 3 Motion passed with unanimous roll call vote. b. Preliminary Plat PZ84-9: Silvertip S/D It was noted that the subdivision should be redesigned to avoid the half dedication; a cul-de-sac would eliminate the need to upgrade that portion of Highbush which runs on the West side and bring utilities down Highbush and the half dedication. The subdivision needs to be rezoned or the lots reapportioned to meet the 20,000 sq. ft. minimum. A house exists on lot one and should be shown on the plat before final approval is given. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved, seconded by Commissioner Smalley to approve PZ84-9 with correction of negative findings and addition of staff comments. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. c. Budget The budget had been sent out to Commissioners earlier for review. Mr. Labahn explained that the amount of the 1984-85 budget was increased by approximately 50°b due mainly to the inclusion of the new equipment and the unknown factor of zoning powers. The Commissioners were again invited to participate in any training or seminars that are planning related and those accounts remain for that purpose. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved consideration of the proposed budget for 1984-85 as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. In clarification; this motion is that the Planning Commission approves the budget and for the Council and Administration to consider the budget as submitted. 8. PLANNING a.
