KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AUGUST 14, 1985 Page 3 7-c Lease Application - Lots 7 & 8, Concession Area - Warehouse, Raven Transit Chairman Lewis noted Mr. Wagoner has not withdrawn his lease. Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer explained there are 2 parties asking for the same property.. Raven Transit claims the improvements on the property belong to them. The City claims the City owns the building. Atty. Rogers has said the City would enter into a lease with the building and the property. The lease expired June 1985. This would be a new lease. Commissioner Carignan asked if the time of filing took precedent. Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer replied, just the highest and best use. Commissioner Bryson suggested both parties speak to P&Z. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. George Smith, Raven Transit. Regarding Atty. Rogers' decision that Raven does not own the building. City Manager Brighton's initials are on the application on an adjusting condition, that improvements on the ~ premises are the property of the lessee. On the original sales agreement, Mr. Haynes purchased the lease with separate cost of the building. That is why Mr. Brighton showed on the lease that the building belonged to the lessee. Atty. Rogers had said on the next page the property goes back to the City on expiration. The intent is that the building belongs to the City. Commissioner Bryson requested City staff evaluate the situation. He asked if some of this was new information. Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer replied, no it says Raven owns it on one page and the City on another. The building only affects the lease rate. Chairman Lewis asked if the other application is contingent on the building being available. Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer replied, she did not know. City Manager Brighton said this is leased on an as-is, where-is basis. The improvements are the property of the lessee. The City did not want the appraisal of the building to go into the lease cost, but that does not change the fact that upon expiration all building and improvements are the property of the City. MOTION, Postponement: Commissioner Smalley moved, seconded by Commissioner Oleson, to postpone action till applicants can meet with Administration and both come back with proposals. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AUGUST 14, 1985 Page 4 7-d Vacation of Section Line within Valhalla S/D Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer reported Engineer LaShot had no objection to this. MOTION: Commissioner Carignan moved, seconded by Commissioner Smalley, for a statement of non-objection to the vacation, allowing 10 ft. walkway to remain as shown on the plat. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. 8. PLANNING a. Fred Meyer Proposal. City Manager Brighton reported, the City has a contract with them. The architects were in town last week. They want to get started clearing as early as next month. The heavy construction will be next Spring. They want the store open by Thanksgiving. Councilman Wise asked if they would clear cut. Answer, no. Commissioner Bryson asked if they have time to submit a landscape plan before excavating. Mr. Brighton replied, he doubted it. He thought it was not their intent to submit a landscaping plan till they get in and see what they will save. Commissioner Carignan said he was concerned with clear cutting, he would like a landscape plan. Mr. Brighton explained, there will be no clear cutting on the back side, just for the building and the front. They will have to submit a landscape plan before they occupy. Councilman Wise suggested they leave the parking lot natural till they need it. Mr. Brighton explained he is not in a position to tell them not to clear till they need a parking lot. Councilman Wise suggested if the City made a point they are prohibited from clear cutting, it would salve a lot of sensibilities. Commissioner Carignan noted their emphasis is on the use of natural vegetation. They are using 12o for landscaping. Commissioner Bryson noted it is their intent to do clearing in conformance with the plan submitted. 17 to 18 acres will be cleared eventually, but not at 1st building. Commissioner Smalley noted it will look like clear cutting till they put in the structure. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AUGUST 14, 1985 Page 5 b. Commissioner Lowry's mall Admin. Asst.

City hton explained Mr. Lowry is is title of so we will not know what he will do with Councilman Wise reported the Aliak, McCollum, Cinderella, Fox, Princess, Linwood Ext. project had been awarded. The airport master plan will be updated with an environmental assessment of the float plane basin. There will be public hearings in Jan. 9-b Borough Planning Commissioner Bryson reported the section line on Valhalla was reviewed. Councilman Wise said Borough Mayor Thompson had discussed land sales in the City, what is the Borough P&Z doing? Commissioner Bryson replied, there are none to his knowledge. There was a proposed land trade to expand the hospital in Soldotna for property behind Eadie's. Councilman Wise said they were planning a land sale in the Fall. City Manager Brighton said the Borough is claiming they do not have the power to build Swires Rd. to the proposed elementary school and did not have enough money for water & sewer. They are looking to the City to pay for it. He and Mayor Wagoner attended a meeting at the Borough regarding this. He proposed the Borough transfer an equal amount of property around the school to reimburse the City. This was not accepted. Mayor Wagoner had suggested if the Borough put up 60 acres surrounding the school for sale, the City may consider putting in water & sewer. Mr. Brighton felt if the Borough has power to build and maintain schools they have the power to build amenities to the schools. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 11.
