Lease Application: Tract A, Kenai Municipal Reserve - Swarner/ O'Connell ~ This lease appeared before the Commission as a concept and now appears as a final. The lease is for parking space adjoining the Kenai Vision Center only. The Administration is asking for a 10' easement on each side of the storm drain. The parking area is to begin gravel and at later date. The lessee is required to bring a drainage plan when applying for a building permit. The Commission had earlier required a 10' easement for a public walkway to the beach, Mr. Labahn viewed the area and determined that the walkway would be hazardous and the Commission deleted the requirement. MOTION: Commissioner Smalley moved approval of lease application for Tract A Kenai Municipal Reserve S/D to Swarner/O'Connell incorporating a 10' utility easement on each side of the storm drain, seconded by Commissioner Carignan.

It was also noted that the drawing was not accurate in showing the fence, building, parking, and lot line. The ~~ PLANNING COMMISSION January 23, 1985 Page 3 fence is 25' back from lot line. Commissioner Bryson noted that the building appeared to cross interior lot lines and since the Commission had recommended passage of an amendment to make this not allowable if there would be a problem, Jeff Labahn answered that this was City property and there would be no problem. Mr. Ayers spoke of snow removal and drainage on the lot, he stated that he would be meeting with the City Engineer and a plan would be drawn up. Commissioner Bryson asked if the overburden was still on the iot, answer yes. The lessee will be removing it. Commissioner Carignan asked about landscaping and a more detailed site plan. Jeff Labahn stated that this type of operation would make landscaping difficult, the trees will have to be removed as they would present hazard to aircraft, and suggested the 15' easement perimeter and around the building, Mr. Ayers suggesting a lawn. At any rate, a more detailed plan will be necessary when applying for the building permit. Councilman Wise stated the feelings of the Council as it pertains to Grizzly Aircraft, Mr. Ayers stated that this is not the same type of operation and no parts will be left on the premises. Councilman Wise asked for a report from the airport manager as to responsibility of contractors when the ramp extension goes in for access to the ramp by businesses. The Commission identified 6 areas of concern: 1) completion dates for Phase I are 3/1/85 to 12/31/86, Phase II are 1/1/86 to 1011/86, 2) show existing fence line and proposed fence line, 3} landscaping plan as described, 4) stipulate that no salvage operation be allowed, 5) specify vehicular access onto Willow Street, 6) when ramp extension is completed, the City will order a reappraisal.

INFORMATION ITEMS No comments or questions PLANNING COMMISSION January 23, 1985 Page 5 12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Commissioner Smalley stated that he had received numerous phone calls regarding the drilling mud disposal site, the story which appeared in the newspapers recently. Commissioner Smalley understood that they were given permission for the muds to be disposed of but this is on private property. Bill Brighton answered stating that the City granted temporary disposal only and it was done with the assumption that the owners of the property would be contacted. They are now asking for permission for permanent dumping rather than the temporary and the State most likely will not grant that as they would not allow anything that would be hazardous in nature. It is now out of our field. Councilman Wise spoke of classifying the waste as either hazardous or solid waste and jurisdiction of agencies depending on the classifications. Commissioner Smalley asked about the proximity of the City water wells to the site, Bill Brighton stated that the dump site is downstream of the wells. Chairman Lewis asked if the individual wells in the area were tested, Commissioner Smalley stated that most of the residents could not afford the cost which is in the neighborhood of $300. The second concern of Commissioner Smalley's is the tree cutting at the Chrysler Dealership. It was his understanding that the trees along the highway were to be left or landscaped. Jeff Labahn stated that right now, it looks like they have eliminated the option and will have to proceed with landscaping. Jeff will draft a letter informing them of this. Commissioner Smalley asked if the cars were in the ROW, answer, would not know without measuring. Commissioner Carignan asked if they submitted a landscaping plan, answer, they were required to da so in a reasonable time. 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 P.M. The next regular meeting will be February 13th.
