James Arness - Request to purchase Proposed Tract B, Peterson Subdivision, Addition No. 1 Commissioner Scott said she felt that the lot in question was a prime area for development and asked what the City's policy was for disposal of Public Lands. Kim Howard reported that if there is interest in public lands, the parcel is brought before the Parks and Recreation and Planning and Zoning Commissions. These Commissions make recommendations to the City Council and then an Ordinance is prepared for Council and advertised in the paper. r RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION October 10, 1990 Page 2 Commissioner Scott noted that the Comp Plan map indicated that area may be used for a City park in the future, she asked Mr. Arness what his development plans for the property were. Mr. Arness said that he had no specific plans for the property, but would like to add it to his existing property by replatting those two sections together. Commissioner Bannock asked if there was public access to the parcel. Mr. Arness said that there is a trail that comes up from the beach but the property is bordered by private property on the remaining sides. There is some foot traffic but mostly between the church and the bluff, not through the lot. Commissioner Scott asked if Mr. Arness was aware of the Bicentennial Commission's intent to resurrect some of the old trails in that area as part of the proposed Bicentennial trail system? Mr. Arness said that he had never heard of that possibility. Commissioner Scott voiced concerned that the proposed site may be needed for trail systems or park expansion in the future. Commissioner Bannock noted that the only access to that site would be through private property so it would not be a good spot for a city trail system or park. Commissioner Bryson said that directly north of the property was city owned land and that there could be a trail system established in this area. He suggested that an easement could be retained by the City in the property if a trail system is eventually needed. MOTION: Commissioner Bannock moved to recommend to Council the sale of Proposed Tract B, Peterson Subdivision, Addition No. 1. Commissioner Glick seconded. Commissioner Scott asked Kayo McGillivary, Parks and Rec Director, what action the Parks and Rec Commission had taken on this item. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION October 10, 1990 Page 3 McGiliivary said that Parks and Rec had recommended that the piece be sold to Mr. Arness. They had felt that there was an adequate trail system and access to the beach already in existance in that area. VOTE: YES: Bannock, Glick, Rehm NO: Scott, Bryson b. Comprehensive Plan Update Parks and Recreation: .,,.,Kayo McGillivary gave a brief summary of the Parks and Rec ..,,section and noted changes to: 10 Parks, 9 Ballfields (5 adult, 4 youth). He said that the Plan might include acreage of proposed -,..park lands, and also a brief synopsis of each park, equipment ~- available, etc. Commissioner Scott noted that the Future section contained very little comment on plans to expand park areas. She wondered if there needed to be more specific plans incorporated in that section for further expansion of park areas if City population grows. McGillivary said that there was plenty of area designated to handle any additional population growth. Commissioner Scott said she felt that future trail systems should be addressed more extensively in the Plan. She has been working on the committee to get a trail between Soldotna and TCenai and feels that it would be helpful to have a plan written out to present to DOT. Kayo McGillivary agreed and said that he would get. together with the planning staff to draft section on proposed. trail system to incorporate into the Comp Plan. Commissioner Bryson suggested that the system rizrz along aa.l State maintained road systems within the City _imits.
