PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ64-77: Conditional Use Permit for Day Care Center - j 310 Haller Street - Candy Sheeran Material was passed aut at the meeting which did not make the packet. Chairman Lewis opened the meeting to the public and asked the applicant to detail her request. Candy Sheeran came forward and explained that the day care and pre- school would be temporary, that her intentions were to operate for 6 months until a building in a commercial location could be constructed. Ms. Sheeran had contacted the neighbors in the area and they "loved the idea". Commissioner Carignan questioned Ms. Sheeran regarding the Montessori program, and if this program would be run in her home. Ms. Sheeran stated that she did not live in the house, it would be used for the day care/pre-school only. Commissioner Bryson stated that he had viewed the site, noting that the neighborhood was moderately developed with a dwelling on nearly every lot; if the children were picked up and dropped off at the same time, there would be a problem with traffic. Jeff Labahn stated that, in considering all factors, there does not appear to be a hazard or nuisance; that the state seems satisfied with the square footage requirements; that the area is fairly well developed with fairly narrow streets; that the parking requirements ~ appear to be met, since there are only 2 employees with 1 space 1 PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 1984 Page 2 required according to the code and that would be the driveway; the last concern would be the loading and off-loading of the children. Ms. Sheeran indicated that the children would be dropped off at various times, some morning and some afternoon; and that none would be picked up after 6:00 p.m.; that although she will be licensed for 15, that does not mean that 15 will be in attendance all at the same time, there will be an average of 9 per day. Commissioner Bryson stated that this is an area of moderate development and over a period of time, a day care could present traffic problems, but for 6 months, probably not. MOTION: Commissioner Carignan moved, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, to adopt PZ84-77 with the condition that no more than 15 students be allowed; the hours of operation be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday; the length of operation be no more than 6 months; with the number of teachers being 2. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of August 8, 1984 Commissioner Smalley noted that on page 3, name should be Carignan; on page 5, the second should be Smalley MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved approval of the minutes as corrected, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. VOTE: There were no objections APPROVAL OF MINUTES of August 17, 1984 - Special Meeting MOTION: Commissioner Osborne moved approval of the minutes as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Carignan VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion: Revised Site Plan - Sprucewood Glen S/D - Lowry Mr. Edwin Lowry explained that plans require more space then previously anticipated. He has brought the street in from the rear, added an access tv be used from those coming from the K-Beach Road area. Meeting the parking requirements of the code precipitated more T PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 1984 Page 3 space, "the code being sadly lacking". People will be encouraged not to use the parking lot as a through drive from front to back and will post signs. The rest of the impact will be on the existing apart- ments, however, the impact should not be any greater than the original mall concept, just move the fence. This plan will encourage more traffic on Tern; there is another section further down Tern which is also commercial and slated to be developed with a day care center. The feeling is that Daubenspeck will be developed commercially with parking facilities being used internally. Chairman Lewis asked how many parking spaces will be in the rear, Mr. Lowry estimated 320 with 100 of those for employees. Chairman Lewis asked if those two rear buildings would front on Tern or the rear of the mall, Mr. Lowry answered yes. Commission recessed to review the plans. Commissioner Bryson noted that initially, he supported this as a commercial development and if this were strictly commercial, this plan is better than the original. MOTION: Commissioner Zubeck moved to rezone Tract F-1 from UR to CG or Lot B-4 on the revised site plan, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Smalley asked if the fencing requirement would carry over into this site plan. MOTION AMENDMENT: Commissioner Carignan moved to amend approval would be pending the final submittal. MOTION WITHDRAWN: 7. NEW BUSINESS the motion to state that the development and/or site plan a. Preliminary Plat PZ84-76: Baron Wood S/D A revised plat was submitted which clarified the acreage but did not change the subdivision. It was pointed out by Mr. Labahn that at a later date, Marathon Road would be realigned and the acreage would be incorporated into iot 1. It was noted that the borrow pit borders on the north and the ballfield is 50' from the west side. The lots are large enough for on-site water & sewer should the City utilities prove unfeasible. PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 1984 Page 4 MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Bryson to approve PZ84-76. VOTE: There were no objections. 8. PLANNING a. Discussion: Rezoning Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park Area Everything in CIIAP has received a release from FAA as to use, however everything on the airport side of Willow should remain for airport related use only. Mr. Labahn suggested creating a different zone that would encompass aviation related businesses. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to recommend initiation of rezoning CIIAP from IL to CG as indicated, seconded by Commissioner Carignan. VOTE: There were no objections. . Discussion: Mobile Homes This comes to the Commission at the request of the City Council. The Commission has discussed this topic and the need for revision from time to time in the past. One of the first steps under the new zoning code would be to remove the east/west boundary line. MOTION: Commissioner Carignan moved to direct Jeff to prepare an amendment of Sec 14.20.240 regarding the boundary line and any other recommend- ations pertinent, seconded by Commissioner Osborne. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Wise not in attendance. b. Borough Planning Report ~ None PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 1984 Page 5 c. City Administration Jeff Labahn presented the revised site plan for Jess Hall's lease far the dealership on Baron Park S/D. The revised plan shows footages, traffic circulatian, parking, etc. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Osborne, to approve the revised site plan for the concept lease application for Jess Hall - Baron Park SID. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. Jeff Labahn reported that Lawton Acres was rezoned to Conservation, this is the entire strip. The feeling was that with commercial development directly across the street, the buffer would be needed. Parks & Recreation has indicated that the area will not be developed as a park, but left as a buffer with perhaps some seeding and grading done. ~ The sign code was approved by Council with 1 or 2 minor amendments. Effective date will be September 15th and Administration will be taking a higher profile in regard to the "blinkies". There will be a joint work session with the Council on the upcoming Capital Improvements Projects Monday at 6:30 and Wednesday 9/12/84 at 6:00. We have a new legal assistant, name Nathan Callahan from Oregon. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 11. INFORMATION ITEMS None 12. COMMISSION QUESTIONS & COMMENTS Commissioner Smalley asked about the construction of the library. Commissioner Bryson asked about the zoning violations such as Kenai Hydraulics, Commissioner Osborne stated that the business is very nearly completely moved out, that they have a shop on the North Raad. PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 1984 Page 6 Howard Hackney stated that the garage on Linwood Lane is still flourishing. Commissioner Smalley noted the hockey shop that is a business that probably would not fall within the confines of a home occupation. Mr. Hackney noted that the sign is also in violation. These are being worked on. Commissioner Osborne asked if any progress had been made on the ditch problem, Jeff stated that it was in the hands of the engineer. 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The next regular meeting will be Wednesday, September 12th.
