a. Resolution PZ90-03: Application for. River Guide Service at 2820
Watergate Way, VIP S%D - Helm
Cr~airman Bryson called for Mr. Helm to explain the proposal prior to the
public hearing.
Mr. Helm: I have been here before this year for a bed & breakfast
application. I discussed this with my wife. I thought somebody's going
to be taking out these people out fishing that are going to be staying with
us and I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to take them out
fishing.
It's not going to be anything full time because I'm not going to quit my
job to go be a river guide. I did have one person call that was concerned
about the issue. He was from California but I can't remember his name.
He's a commercial fisherman and is going to be building a house this year.
His question was regarding launching from my house, however, I'm probably
going to be launching from Porters'. All I'm going to be doing is taking
people back and forth to the river and he had no objection to that at a11.

some guiding. Commissioner Bannock: You could still have the service,
you don't have to be the guide and that might be another part. Chairman
Bryson: Again, I would go back to the resolution itself that the guide
service would go with the property. Commissioner McComsey: That's what
he's asking for, that he has to get his license before ... Chairman Bryson:
The condition right now is that you would need to get a guide license
before you could hire any one but you wouldn't have to be an active guide.
Mr. Helms: Why would I have to have a guide license to have someone
working for me. Commissioner Bannock: Because that's what you're asking
for. Mr. Helms: Is what. Commissioner Bannock: You're asking for you
to become a guide, that's what this says. That you want to be your own
guide service. That's what I'm reading from this. Mr. Helms: I do.
Commissioner Bannock: In order for me to feel comfortable with you being
your own guide service, there's two things that have to happen, number one
you have to get a permit to become a guide service and number two you have
to get another license to become a guide. We'll go half way and when you.
go the other half we'll go the whole thing. Mr. Helm: Let me ask you
this, say I don't get through this test. Commissioner Bannock: Then I
wouldn't feel comfortable in giving you a guide service based on the way
this application is written. Because this application is stating that you
want to be a guide. Commissioner McComsey: A guide service and a bed &
breakf ast .
Mr. Helms: Read it if you would. Commissioner McComsey did so. Chairman
Bryson: Would you like some time beyond tonight to review this. Mr.
Helms: No, I think you guys are reading too much into it here. I don't
have to have a guide license to have someone working for me as a guide.
Commissioner Bannock: That is entirely correct. But that's not what
you're asking for here. Mr. Helms: It says I want to have a guide
service. Commissioner Bannock: It says that you want to be the guide
service. Mr. Helms: Read it again. Commissioner Bannock did so. You
told me you want to be the guide. Mr. Helms: I do. Commissioner Bannock:
Okay. Mr. Helms: But if I don't get through it that doesn't mean that
I just want to let everybody go down the ..... I still want a guide
service. I think you've put some stipulations in there that the state
doesn't put in there nor does anyone else. Commissioner Bannock: That's
right. Mr. Helms: You know, its like a car dealership. You don't have
to be an expert on cars to own a car dealership. Commissioner Bannock:
However, in the past since I've been here, every one of the guide services
that we've given out, whether they be as broad ranging as a booking service
or any of the other ones we have done, were all in response to that
particular applicant wanting to be in charge. Now if you want to just be
the owner of the business and basically not the operator, that's different.
I want to make sure that you have your guide permit before we put our names
on telling you that you can have this. Now if you're going to tell me that
you're not interested in being your own guide, then I'll withdraw the
amendment.
Mr. Helms: I think that you're putting controlling factors on there on
things that don't have to be in there. I've spent $600 on materials to
study for this test and take Saturdays to study, you know, and its not like
I'm planning on flunking this test, but it might.

Chairman Bryson: I interpret this as a land use that's being granted under
a conditional use, and they're interpretation is not. But if we're
evaluating this then we might have to get attorney comments on conditional
use permits in general. But if it is a land use, conditions can be
attached to it, so in that sense, that sort of statement could be adopted.
Commissioner Glick: Do you understand why if we don't put some sort of
stipulation on it and it goes wild and then you come back and complain
about something that goes wrong? Mr. Helms: No. Chairman Bryson: I
think the one area that potentially becomes a problem is that this is
something that the City would be agreeing with in a residential area and
they want to minimize the potential impact on the neighbors as opposed to
a commercial area. Mr. Helms: I think we've minimized the impact with
the bed & breakfast already.
Commissioner Graveley: Right now you've got approval for three businesses
and one residence. And with your guide service you're going to have four
businesses. Mr. Helms: What's the three businesses. Commissioner
Gravely: You have a bed & breakfast, you're Xerox business, and the
apartments. Now you're going for four businesses in one unit. And I'm
starting to have a problem with that because we're compounding what the
home occupation and permit rules are about. I don't think the rules were
set up to address this many.. Mr. Helms: What type of an impact do you
think my Xerox business has. How many people here have Xerox machines.
~ _., :Has anybody ever been over to the business at my house? Its .basically a
w `~"~ computer, a telephone, a copy machine. There's already cars going in and
_. out from people living there. Commissioner Graveley: I understand and
I can almost sympathize where you're coming from. But I'm looking at it
from a neighbor standpoint and from the letter we received. (Mr. Helms
is speaking over Commissioner Graveley) I've talked over my neighbors.
Now I haven't heard any complaints.
Chairman Bryson: There is a letter from a Mr. Lanier who is an attorney.
Mr. Helms: What's his concern. {Mr. Helms read the letter given him by
Chairman Bryson.) Chairman Bryson: His negative comments regard a
business being inconsistent with the residential purposes of the
subdivision and secondly invites a use of adjacent lots which are not
desirable.
Commissioner Bannock: My amendment came not from that situation because
the four different businesses don't bother me. Like he said the Xerox
business is small. The apartment complex is never going to generate any
more business than it is now. But the reason I put the amendment on there
is by having one person in charge of all these four businesses, I don't
care if he gets four million businesses going there, but he is accountable
for them. We're not tying the guide service. into the bed & breakfast.
You could run these two separately and you could advertise to any where
in the world and you could turn it into a business bigger than any body
else. A lot of people who own businesses don't have anything to do with
the day to day operation of them. I think that's scary in this situation.
I like the idea that you are in charge of the operation and you are the
guide. Just like you are Xerox. You don't have a fleet of employees
working for you. You are the bed & breakfast man. If there is a problem
with the apartment complex they are going to come to you or your wife.
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION '

If they have a problem with the guide service they are going to come to
you.
The City is posing a situation with the four business, and personally, I
don't have a problem with that but I want you to be the main man. I don't
want this to be some generic guide service that you're going to own and
operate out of your home. If you chose to do that I would suggest that
you move it away from your home, put up a guide business on the Kenai River
and advertise it as a business., I think my colleagues will tell you that
I'm the last one to impose restrictions, especially on growth, and I think
this is a pretty conservative view because we're getting just a little bit
out of control with four separate businesses.
Mr. Helms: I can live with that. Commissioner Gravely:- I think that's
the point I was trying to make, is that if you keep it to yourself, that's
one thing. But when you start hiring a bunch of guides, then you lose
control.

7, NEW BUSINESS
a. Lease Application: Lots 5 & 6, Block 1, FBO S/D - Wolverine Leasing
Chairman Bryson introduced Mr. Wally Page to speak for the application.
Mr. Page: I own Kenai Steel Structures. We build metal buildings and have
been doing so for approximately ten years in Kenai and surrounding
vicinity. I'm here to answer questions on the structure. Basically, its
a 70' x 70' x 20' airplane hangar for light maintenance to be used by
Wolverine Leasing. It will be a certified structure on footings, building,
and structure.
MOTION:
Commissioner McComsey moved approval of the lease application as described,
seconded by Commissioner Glick
Chairman Bryson: Are you proposing doing any drainage routing? Mr. Page:
We will drain to the edge of the lot sides and keep off the runway. The
~~
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION i`
March 14, 1990
Page 7
natural drainage is already in place. Chairman Bryson: This is compatible
with what your neighbors are doing? Mr. Page: Yes. Chairman Bryson:
These lots 5 & 6 are adjacent to the lots that we reviewed far lease at
the last meeting? Answer yes.
Commissioner Graveley: If I have the location right, the buildings that
are sketched on the map that are not marked between lots 7 & 8, is that
the existing Federal Express building? Answer yes. Commissioner Graveley:
Do the lots that you're looking at have any trees? Answer no.
Commissioner Harbaugh: I don't see a time for length of lease.
Administrative Assistant Howard answered that the FAA requires no longer
than 30 years so it would be restricted to that length of time.
Commissioner Graveley: Do the applicants have to have a landscaping plan?
Chairman Bryson: Do you mean the one for building permit purposes? I'm
not familiar with whether they are or not. Commissioner McComsey: I do
see it has some lawn on there, maybe they could put a little tree on it.
Commissioner Graveley: I bring that up because there's nothing worse than
having you get half your construction done and then having the City come
back and ask why something else isn't done. Mr. Page: I agree, and we
do intend to make it look good. We plan on putting a couple trees out
front and put in some plants, the girls will take care of some flowers.
~ Commissioner McComsey: It doesn't show a height on here but I think the
FAA limits that don't they? Mr. Page: It will have 20' side walls on it.
Chairman Bryson: In looking at the checklist for the site plan there are
a number of items that are checked there, the setback, drainage plan, etc.
Have you addressed that on another sheet? Mr. Page: I'm not familiar with
that form.
Mr. Tom Thibodeaux I'm involved in the business. Mr. Page is building
the building and I am one of the partners in the business end. I don't
know if any of you have seen the facility we are using now off Island Lake,
Alaska West Air, I think you would know its a beautiful site. Its all
landscaped with a view and that's the approach we've taken on anything that
we do. Judging from what's out there now, I think you'll find that our
building will be real compatible with what you have out there in terms of
what the City has done and certainly nicer than some of the existing
structures and landscaping that's out there now.
Regarding the existing buildings, there are no existing buildings on that
lot. The proposed building is as described by Mr. Page with a future
proposal for an office lean-to on the side. The building is going to be
similar to the Southcentral building. It is a Wedgecorp building and will
be similar in size and color.
Regarding the parking facilities, while I didn't number the parking spaces,
we've left approximately 70' from the end of the North Willow Street
easement for parking. We will have a loop design. There will not be a
great demand for parking as it will be primarily a maintenance facility
for the aircraft we have now and traffic will be heaviest from the runway.
Eventually, as we get the office space we'll have more parking, but that
is in the future.
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
March 14, 1990

Regarding the drainage and removal, we've yet to see what we have to
remove. We will have to remove the top soil and the trees have already
been removed some time ago. Next door at Federal Express; they brought
it down to the level of the sand. The property is considerably higher than
their building next door. We plan to build a ramp, taxiway, and parking
area for aircraft on the side there. We will have to bring that down to
the same level as the adjacent lot and will overlay gravel for aircraft.
We would like to use top soil for the aircraft parking area to plant grass
and leave that area grassy rather than gravel, it makes a better surface
to keep the dust down and is better looking. At some point we are looking
at paving the area for parking aircraft other than those parked for
maintenance.
The landscaping plan is going to be primarily as we described. We are
going to plant grass around the parking loop, some type of flower area
across the front and near the hangar.. Our facility now at Island Lake is
beautiful. The building setbacks will be addressed per the code. It will
be 70' from the roadway, 40' from the side adjacent to lot 5. Entrances
and exits will be as described with a large hangar door facing the taxiway
side.
Regarding signs, we are working on that, it will probably be mounted on
the building and the. size has not been determined, however, it will be an
attractive, professional sign similar to the one we now have out at Island
Lake.
We have shown where our fences will be with the access points, the same
with the curb cuts. Our building will be compatible with the form 7461.
It is in the process of being reviewed by the FAA and they said it
shouldn't take more than 60 days.
Commissioner Glick: Are you going to fuel aircraft there or take .them
somewhere else. Mr. Thibodeau: No, we are not going to be fueling
aircraft as we see it right now. We've got fuel available right next door
and that's a business we're not into. Commissioner McComsey: It says you
will be building in two years but it sounds like you're ready to go right
now. Mr. Thibodeau: The building will be up this summer if everything
is approved.
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote
7-b. Consent to Assignment of Lease for Security Purpose, Lot 4, Blk 5,
General Aviation Apron
Chairman Bryson: This is property presently leased by Rick Baldwin,
formerly the marine supply building.
Administrative Assistant Howard: This lease is pretty specific in that
it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission so we brought it to you and
it will then go on to the Council on Wednesday night. The attorney has
reviewed it and had no problem with it except that in an assignment of
lease for security purposes, the recordation date is listed as June 29th
and it is actually June 30th. I spoke to Henry Penny about that and it
will be corrected.

March 14, 1990
Page 9
Commissioner Bannock: I'm confused on what we're doing here. How do we
come in to play specifically. Chairman Bryson: There is a requirement
that any reassignment of the lease needs to be approved by the Planning
Commission. Commissioner Bannock: Didn't we do that last month?
Administrative Assistant Howard: Last month was a sublease for apart of
the building to the Times. And this is for security purposes.
MOTION:
Commissioner Glick moved that we approve the assignment of lease for
security purposes for lot 4, block 5, GAA, seconded by Commissioner
Graveley
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote
c. Home Occupation: Change of Location for Christian Videos - Jim &
CarolFraser
Chairman Bryson introduced the item and Mrs. Fraser came forward to answer
questions.
Mrs. Carol Fraser: We moved to 308 N. Forest Drive and it is still going
to be little. I don't have any plans for a big place. The driveway's
) pretty big, it will accommodate two or three cars at a time.
~~ ..
MOTION:
Commissioner Bannock moved to grant a home occupation permit for the change
of location for Christian Video Rentals, seconded by Commissioner McComsey
VOTE:
Mrs. Fraser: The house sits back from the street and it is behind trees,
can I hang a little sign on the tree so people can see it. Building
Official Hackney: Its okay as long as you don't damage the tree. It also
must be on the lot the house sits on. Commissioner Graveley: Is there
a size limit? Commissioner Bannock read from the home occupation portion
of the code and the Commission determined that the sign must be attached
to the building.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote
Commission recessed for five minutes.
NOTE: New Item Added
•. 7-d. Vacation of 66' Section Line Easement: Sections 5 & 6, T5N, R11W,
SM, Kenai Original Townsite - Booker/Wade
Chairman Bryson read the Kenai Peninsula Borough public hearing notice for
the record. The item will appear before the Borough on April 2nd.
Commissioner McComsey asked if this were the location for the proposed
Bicentennial building. Chairman Bryson: I believe this is the ROW that
runs immediately in front of Booker's restaurant.
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION '
March 14, 1990
Page 10
Commissioner McComsey: Is he in turn going to give up his ROW at the
Chamber office so that we can have access to the Chamber office. Chairman
Bryson: It appears to me that it would be blocked off from the small scale
sketch because I haven't gotten my Borough packet yet and I haven't seen
the drawings. It might be something we could request staff to evaluate.
Commissioner McComsey: I'm sure the Bicentennial people should know about
it. Chairman Bryson: I'm not sure who's seen it, it came after the packet
.was out. There have been no public hearings on it. Commissioner McComsey:
It seems to me that he owns a little parcel in front of the Chamber office
and if this is done away with then there would be no way to get across his
property to the Chamber office. Now I know he's letting them drive across
it now and not say anything but it could become a problem.
Chairman Bryson: I believe we have enough time so we could take this up
at our next meeting. In the mean time we could get comments from the
Bicentennial and the City Engineer. Commissioner Graveley: I would like
to see a more detailed drawing.
Commissioner McComsey: The only reason I know about it is because when
we were doing the siting for Old Town when I was on the City Council, this
was discussed. Chairman Bryson: I would imagine there is another drawing
of this that exists at a larger scale.
MOTION:
°~° -' Commissioner McComsey moved for approval, seconded by Commissioner Harbaugh
MOTION:
Commissioner McComsey moved to postpone to the next meeting and ask the
City Engineer and definitely the Bicentennial people take a look at how
it will affect their property, seconded by Commissioner Harbaugh
VOTE:
Motion passed by unanimous consent
e. Review Borough Comp Plan
Chairman Bryson: Since the Planning Secretary is not here it is difficult
to review. This item will hold to the next meeting_
e. Discussion: Amendments to KMC 14.20.145 - New Recreation Zone
Chairman Bryson indicated the memo from the attorney and called for
comments or questions. The Commission agreed to hold to the next meeting.
8. PLANNING
a. Request by Council for Joint Work Session on Landfill Issue
Chairman Bryson read the notice. Councilman Smalley: You are all aware
of the problem with the landfill, the fact that very soon it will be closed
because there is no more room at the inn. In the Borough and City's
contact with each other we first received word that the City of Kenai would
have the landfill closed and we could either take our garbage out to
~,
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION a.
March 14, 1990
Page 11
Nikiski or we could haul it to the Soldotna landfill or we could hire
Peninsula Sanitation or the other agency to pick up garbage at our homes.
The City and the Borough talked and then there was a discussion as to
making a pick up facility at the present landfill site where residents
could take garbage, dump it for free, and then it would be hauled over to
the Soldotna landfill. Mr. Nash had indicated that he was going to
introduce a bill, 90-19, requesting a free non-commercial public use solid
waste disposal facility.
To do this there would have to be a rezone of that area. And what the
Borough wanted was to rezone 45 of the 94 acres and establish a receiving
facility. I think the Borough was not thinking of a free disposal facility
because 90-19 was not introduced, 90-11 substitute was introduced which
did not speak to it being a free facility. What they want to do is allow
Mr. Carver to set up a receiving facility in which he would charge
residents to dump.
The City became quite concerned about that because we would be paying for
it at least twice. The first time through Borough taxes, and the second
time for being able to dump here and no other entity on the Peninsula does
this. Seward does charge a monthly garbage fee and I think that money goes
into their general fund and has nothing to do with the Borough. The
Council felt uncomfortable that the City residents would have to pay twice
when no one else had to, Borough-wide.
There was a request for a rezone but I think it was postponed. Chairman
.Bryson: It came before us as an addition to the agenda and it was a
request to recommend to the Assembly to pursue a request for five acres
situated at the dump site. Councilman Smalley: It was for five acres and
now they are talking about 45 of the 94 as a receiving area. It got
postponed by Assemblywoman Glick and she is working hard on this 90-19
situation and probably will be at that meeting on March 21st. It behooves
this body and interested persons in the City to attend that meeting.
Right now it has been postponed at the Borough level and they are waiting
to see what the City will develop. The City Administration has been
advised by Council to look into the matter and open up dialogue with the
Borough regarding free, non-commercial dumpsite.
Commissioner Bannock: When you say free non-commercial are you saying the
Borough's going to`be picking up the tab? Councilman Smalley: We don't
care who picks it up. Commissioner Glick: But the City in turn would
allow them to use the land. Chairman Bryson: The request is for the
rezoning, the control that the City has for the proposal. The property
belongs to the Borough. Councilman Smalley: The property is Borough but
because of the zoning they cannot do that out there. It would have to be
rezoned and as Mr. Bryson pointed out that is the part of control that the
City has. Commissioner Bannock: So if that was to happen, to the average
consumer who is used to taking his trash to the dump on Redoubt for years,
nothing would really change. He would take his trash there and the
Borough, one way or another take care of it. Councilman Smalley: Correct.
As the City is requesting a free dump site. Commissioner Bannock: They
would be dumping in the bin things instead of down the road.
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION ~.
March 14, 1990
Page 12
Councilman Smalley: Eventually, they talked about setting up a bailing
system similar to ... that's why they're looking at the 45 acre parcel
versus the five. The bailing system is similar to what Seward just past.
But it's a big problem Borough-wide, not just the City of Kenai. The
Borough really needs to take a real. hard look at this. I know I don't
object to having to pay to dump garbage as long as everybody else has to.
Everywhere else where garbage is dumped you pay for it. This is a service
that has been granted to us because of our Borough taxes, basically. But
as a Councilman I feel that I would be more than glad to pay again once
everybody else has to. I don't feel its right for the residents of the
City to pay double and no body else.
Commissioner McComsey: That's right, eventually, we're going to have to
pay for the simple reason of the cost to get rid of it. I'm of the same
thoughts as you, just because Seward pays, that's their own funds.
Chairman Bryson: As it came before the Borough a meeting or two ago, it
was proposed as a five acre, privately operated operation. There's more
than one person operating with a license down here. After the meeting my
concern was we shouldn't be creating a special situation for someone just
because they are capable of tying up land in that regard.
Commissioner McComsey: I think the one person that picks up trash can only
do so commercially and cannot go into residential areas, they're trying
to get that changed also at the Borough level due to PUC. Commissioner
Bannock:. That's not true. Commissioner Harbaugh: Doesn't he have those
small canisters he picks up. Commissioner Bannock: He can go into,
residential area, however, he is limited. Its not just residential.
Commissioner McComsey: He's limited then. Commissioner Bannock: Its not
between just residential or just commercial. That's not true. Chairman
Bryson: Then the concern is going to be allowing him access to ....
whether its two or three or four .... Commissioner McComsey: In other
words, the PUC is regulating it and for some reason or another he can't
go everywhere.
Chairman Bryson: I would think the Borough could, if it was semi Borough
controlled they could, and if it were approved by the City, they could set
up an area of land that's available in some mechanism to be used by more
than one person. Commissioner Harbaugh: Or let the Borough bid that
facility out.
Councilman Smalley: You have 90-23 which was actually introduced by Mrs.
Glick and Mr. Brown but I don't think it went any where if memory serves
me right. This one basically covers the situation with the free site
facility for the City of Kenai.

Re: Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast Establishment

Dear Mrs. Surrey:
I appreciate your letter of February 26, 1990 with the
enclosures. The information gained from the minutes and attached
exhibit gave me a great deal of information I was unaware of. If
not one of my neighbors objected who actually lives close to the
applicant, then there must not be the problem I anticipated.
What I was upset about otherwise was the inadequate notice of the
meeting. The notice I received was of a meeting on January 17,
1990; and, the notice wasn't mailed until January 16, 1990! It
was evidently received here in Bakersfield on Saturday, January
20,.1990, for the notice of certified mail was in my mailbox that
evening; the post office was closed Sunday, January 21, 1990. On
January 22, 1990, I picked up your notice and immediately sent
you the letter of January 22, 1990. I picked up my mail as soon
as the post office allowed! 14.20.280 requires ten days' notice!
Nonetheless, no harm, no foul!
Can you Iet me in on what growth plans are on the horizon?
Do you know when the street in front of our Iot is to be paved?
Very truly yours,
rJAMES T. LANIER
