PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Conditional Use Permit: Lot 1, EZ S/D (1111 Kiana) - Day Care Center - Laura Peterson Mrs. Peterson stated that she is presently an owner of child care center in Soldotna. She intends to have 15 children to begin, eventually hoping to have a maximum of 25. Hours of operation are to be 7 AM to 6PM Monday through Friday and run a full year as opposed to seasonal. Vice Chairman Smalley asked about the access for traffic to the center on the lot itself from Kiana, are you going to be able to accomodate enough cars going in and out of there so as not to cause a traffic problem, answer the driveway accomodates three (3) cars comfortably which would probably be used for employees, the front fence has been backed up 25' from the edge of the road to accomodate six (6) cars comfortably across the front of the lot, not in the street but pulled up into the lot. Basically, the only off street parking will be the six not including the 3 up the driveway. Vice Chairman Smalley asked if any comments from the public had been received, answer no. Twenty-six {26) certified notices were sent. Vice Chairman Smalley asked for plans for snow removal, answer it is always hired out to clear. Commissioner Bryson asked if the house was her residence, answer yes. It was a child care center once before, but relicensed as a home. Commissioner > O'Reilly asked how many employees Mrs. Peterson expected, answer that with 15 children, three staff, with 25 four. Commissioner O'Reilly asked if the hours would be flexible, in other words, PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1987 Page 2 will everyone come at the same time or will soem be dropping off the children at different hours, answer yes, the hours will be flexible. Using my Soldotna center as an example, I am licensed for 42 and I service 35 families and my parking lot serves about 6 cars comfortably and we don't have a parking problem so I do not anticipate a problem here. Commissioner Church asked if there were subdivision covenants which may prohibit this use, answer from Mrs. Peterson no. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved approval of Conditional Use Application, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. 5.

City Council Councilman McComsey reported on a work session held by the Council regarding an RV park proposal by Ed Garnett. Mr. Garnett has asked for land near the FAA antenna site on Daubenspeck property. Fosters also presented a plan for an RV park that they are pursuing in the Anglers Acres area. They have begun the ground ~ work for reclamation of the gravel pit by preparations for the lake and the surrounding land for either the RV park or the original plans of a subdivision. There is going to be a buffer of PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1987 Page 3 trees completely surrounding the park area. Preliminary plans appear to be appealing. The Fosters have called and written letters to the adjacent property owners to attend a meeting to view these plans and present any comments. Not one of the owners appeared or called. Mr. Morgan has approached the City concerning additional lands for parking for the golf course. As the popularity of the golf course has increased, Mr. Morgans needs are for parking places for cars, and if possible, parking for RV's that come in for tournaments. This does not mean hookups or water, but only adequate space. b. Borough Planning Commissioner Bryson informed the Commission that for the next meeting of the Borough Planning Commission there are no plats for review which is a first in several years. c. City Administration Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer reported on recent activity in the land department. There have been four on-going projects. On is a request for lease for property fronting on Main Street Loop for the Windmill Restaurant. Two are leases that are requesting purchase, one is Bob Jackson. Five leases have come back due to financial difficulties. They are in the CIIAP area, most have no buildings on them. The one sale that is coming back is the one next to the Katmai that was purchased by Vic Tyler. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 11. INFORMATION ITEMS a. Council Agenda - Not Available b. Borough Agenda No comments c. Letter from Howard Hackney Pertaining to Sign for Twin City Raceway The owner/manager of the raceway, Mr. Freddie Pollard has submitted application for variance for his sign. This will be on the next agenda as a public hearing item. d. Letter from Ron Sutcliffe Pertaining to Indian Lands Vice Chairman Smalley stated that from all he knows about native allotment, she cannot transfer native allotment status. Now they PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1987 Page 4 ~~ are denying that it has changed hands. From the memo I understand that it will be pursued further, answer yes. Vice Chairman Smalley stated that he went all the way back to the BIA in Albekerque on this because I have a vested interest in this and they told me that the moment it changed hands there is no allotment status. What we don't know is if it is a change of hands and there is a warranty deed. Commissioner Church stated that the BIA has to approve the transfer which comes from Washington DC. 12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS None 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The next regular meeting of the Commission is Wednesday, August 27, 1987. 4.~t,L~ ~ ~~--'~ Janet A.
