APPROVAL Of AGENDA Add: 3-a, Landscaping Review Board -Proposed Ordinance Amendment Agenda approved with the addition 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a. Landscaping Review Board - Proposed Ordinance Amendment Mr. Lou Schilling, Chairman of the Landscaping Review Board, came forward to explain the amendments. There are 3 amendments; 1) to include the industrial zones, 2) to require a preliminary site plan before any clearing or tree cutting, 3) to delete [new] to mare clearly define construction including additions and renovations. Commissioner Bryson asked why industrial was being added, Chairman Schilling stated that industrial is perhaps even more important an area in terms of need for landscaping than commercial. Woodie Cale, Vice Chairman of the Board, stated that he is in an industrial area on Bridge Access Rd, which is becoming more and more heavily travelled, and is the other main roadway into Kenai and should be considered as important as the Spur Hwy. Commissioner Carignan asked if it is the intent to keep the same restrictions in industrial as in commercial, answer yes, with certain allowances. Chairman Schilling stated that the maximum is still 5A which is not really alot in most cases. MOTION: Commissioner Carignan moved that the City set a public hearing on Resolution PZ85-73 on October 23rd, seconded by Commissioner Osborne VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Bryson stated that the industrial zone is acknowledged in the zoning Cade as an area that is sufficiently isolated as to not be a nuisance. There possibly may be areas in town that possibly shouldn't be heavy industrial if that is a problem. \~ PLANNING COMMISSION October 9, 1985 Page 2 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS None 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of September 25, 1985 Minutes were approved as submitted 6. OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Lease Application: Lots ~&8, Concession Area - Warehouse - Tam Wagoner This is the lease application that was before the Commission and approved about a month previously.

The footings would go in this fall and completed by 11/I/87. MOTION: Commissianer Bryson moved approval of the proposed lease modification as described with a completion date of 11/1/87, seconded by Commissioner Carignan. Commissioner Bryson asked the Building Inspector if he had checked the site plan for parking against the requirements in the code, answer there is more than required. The Commission asked about drainage and landscaping. Drainage on the lot will be done by an engineer. Commissianer Bryson noted on the site plan that a space had been -~ indicated on the site plan for natural vegetation, however the entire lot appears cleared, answer yes, the parking was too tight in regards the snow removal. Grass will be provided in summer and snow removal PLANNING CDMMISSION October 9, 1985 Page 3 VOTE: in winter.

Lease Extension -Date of Construction: Lots 3&4, Blk 2, FBD S/D - Kline Mr. Ken Cusak came forward representing Mr. Kline. The request is for an exention of 1 year.

Motion passed unanimously. 8. PLANNING a. Development of Lawton Acres Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that the two parties requesting the site state that there is no property available along 1 the Spur Hwy, that private property owners along the Spur have been approached and are not willing to sell, or have such severe restrictions that the site is prohibitive. ~ PLANNING COMMISSION October 9, 185 Page 4 Vice Chairman Smalley indicated that, while it is not standard procedure, there are members of the audience wishing to speak to the issue and asked the wishes of the Commission, it was agreed that the public be allowed to speak. Jerry Carlson, Howard Hackney, Jim Blanning, Wanda Carlson, Lloyd Carey, Cheryl Main, Jerry Hansen, Woodie Cole, Doren Dorcus, Cheryl Samples,and Tom Thompson all residents of either Inlet View or Central Heights gave presentations opposing the proposed development. The general consensus is that na portion of the strip known as Lawton Acres be allowed to be developed and should remain in the conservation category. Commissioner Bryson stated that sooner or later developers will have to deal with the private land owners, In that area, there are 2 to 4 large parcels where individuals have tailored their developments to entice clients to utilize the property and I feel that is where they should be going rather than encroaching on an area that presumably is a buffer. Commissioner Carignan stated that he philosophically aligns with the speakers in the audience in maintaining some conservation zones, coupled with that is the availability of other property in the City. MOTION: Commissioner Carignan moved to recommend that the Conservation zone be maintained, seconded by Commissioner Bryson. For clarification, the intended area is the entire strip bordered by the Spur Hwy, Rogers, Walker, and Lawton. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 9. REPORTS a.
