PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ89-11: Encroachment Permit for Lots 51&52, Block 1, Redoubt Terrace S/D - Request by Owner to Postpone Planning Specialist Loper explained that the owner of the property has decided to move ahead with surveying the adjacent lot 50. By postponing this public hearing, the owner will be able to amend the application and present all three lots under the single $100 fee. MOTION: Commissioner Glick moved to postpone PZ89-11 until the next meeting, seconded by Commissioner Bannock. Since the Council will be meeting at odd weeks in October, this means that the Commission may be meeting October 25th. The motion is intended to mean whenever the next meeting will be scheduled. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent 1 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 27, 1989 Page 2 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of September 13, 1989 MOTION: Commissioner Bannock moved approval of the minutes as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Walker VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent 6. OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Preliminary Plat PZ89-12: Replat Lots 51 & 52, Block 1, Redoubt Terrace S/D Planning Specialist Loper explained that the minutes of the last meeting revealed that no main motion had been made approving the plat. There were several amendments, however. Discussion followed regarding the staff comments on the plat since the plat and encroachment permit were no longer accompanying each other. Commissioner Walker felt that the last part of the statement presupposes that the permit will be approved. Planning Specialist Loper explained that the Borough will have no problem with the plat. That the encroachment is a City problem only in that we have zoning and the plat corrects, to an extent, a zoning problem. Even though the lot line is moved, there still is an encroachment. MOTION: Commissioner Bannock moved approval of PZ89-12 in the original form, seconded by Commissioner Glick Commissioner Walker indicated that he still felt uncomfortable with the wording of the staff comments. MOTION AMENDMENT: Commissioner Walker moved to amend by striking the phrase, "clears the title", seconded by Commissioner Glick. The Commission discussed the time frame for approval of the plat. It was pointed out that, as a plat it meets Borough standards and would probably be approved regardless of whether or not the Commission commented. Commissioner Bannock asked why the plat was needed, answer because the lot line ran through the building. However, even moving the lot line, the building still lies well within the setback. The plat will correct one part of the encroachment, the permit will correct the other part. l PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 27, 1989 Page 3 VOTE AMENDMENT: Motion fails - tie vote Vice Chair Bryson - yes Commissioner Bannock - no Commissioner Glick - no Commissioner Walker - yes VOTE MAIN MOTION: Motion passed unanimously Vice Chair Bryson discussed the early stages of discussion when the Commission was considering the encroachment problem. At one time the idea was to require surveying at the time of construction. Councilman Smalley stated that the initial fee for the permit was set at $500 which would have been the cost of surveying, however, due to strong opposition by contractors, the fee was dropped to the current $100. At one time a fine was considered, all the way to $500, however, Council rejected the idea and the encroachment permit was created with the $100 fee which pays for the advertising costs. b. Preliminary Plat PZ89-15: Maguire S/D Planning Specialist Loper explained that this plat comes at the request of Council. While the Commission had requested a plat, the only one submitted had been a computerized plat. The Council request was more specific and the owner complied. The engineers comments were discussed. Vice Chairman Bryson felt that in the event they carry through on their plans to replat they are going to have to put the water and sewer in. Commissioner Glick: The stub outs are at the southwest corner of Lot B right now. MOTION: Commissioner Walker moved to approve PZ89-15, Maguire S/D, seconded by Commissioner Glick VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote 8. PLANNING a. Comp Plan Team Assignments There were no objections 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported on a presentation by Larry Smith regarding the closure of the Kenai landfill. The recommendation is that the Council will \l PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 27, 1989 Page 4 look at the problem and decide if one more cell should be opened for another couple years' work. If the landfill were closed, Kenai would have to take refuse to Soldotna as there would be no landfill in Kenai. It was suggested that perhaps the Borough could charge for disposal. The second speaker was Lou Schilling who submitted a proposal for the airport bar and restaurant. When the bids went out, none were received. This proposal comes after the bidding was closed. b.
