Application submitted by Beaver Loop Partnership, Warren H. Polsky, Partnership Manager, 4150 Vista Court, Anchorage, AK 99508. Discussion Goecke requested additional information from La Shot. Glick read a letter received from Warren Polsky, BLP Inc. (hand out). La Shot recommended those present be allowed to speak even though Polsky was not present. He also requested the applicant's request to continue the hearing at a later date be granted. Bryson reminded the Commission the last meeting was now public information and only new information could be brought before the Commission during this meeting. Public Comment Natalie Kohler, 4350 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska. Kohler stated she wanted the record to show how many people were here from Beaver Loop and were against the Conditional Use Permit. Glick asked all citizens present from Beaver Loop to come forward and state their name and indicate if they were for or against. Laura Sievert, 3329 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska. Stated that she was against this and a little concerned the Commission seemed almost ready to grant the permit at the last meeting without further water and soil testing. She expressed her concern the Commission was putting the interests of the partnership above the interests of the environmental quality of the City of Kenai. She also expressed concern the area was currently zoned residential and felt the interests of the property owners, their property values, and quality of life were not being adequately considered. Nolan T. Compton, 2785 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska. Stated he hadn't seen the public record of the February 24, 1999 meeting because he had been out of state. He added, he felt a lot of people have been doing all kinds of things on that property for a long time and their attitude is they can just go ahead and do it Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 10, 1999 Page 2 and get a zoning permit or a conditional use permit later. Compton added, he would like to see the Commission take that into consideration and make people conform to rules and regulations within the City. He also requested the Commission to put their foot down and come to a decision and make people apply for a permit before they do things instead of letting them say, "I've been there, now I want a permit." Discussion Bryson asked if the application needed to be re-advertised as a public hearing separate from the agenda if the public hearing were to be continued. Glick stated he thought the Commission had had two nights of public hearing and that another public hearing was not required, but at the same time another public hearing would probably have to be held to hear the applicant's opinion. Bryson suggested the Commissioners could address questions to the applicant through the Chairman so that answers could be received from the applicant prior to the next meeting, thus saving money required to announce another public hearing. La Shot stated if the hearing was continued it would be advertised with the regular agenda and another separate mailing would not occur. BRYSON MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON THIS PERMIT TO THE MEETING ON APRIL 28, 1999. ERWIN SECONDED.
