Application submitted by Beaver Loop Partnership, Warren H. Polsky, Partnership Manager, 4150 Vista Court, Anchorage, Alaska 99508. MOTION: GOECKE MOVED TO BRING BACK BEFORE THE COMMISSION PZ99-06, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE STORAGE YARD. MOTION SECONDED BY BRYSON. Glick opened the meeting to public hearing and asked that individuals come forward only if there were additions to what was stated previously. Verbatim Begins Warren Polsky, 4150 Vista Court, Anchorage, Alaska. Good evening, (cleared throat) yes, my name's Warren Polsky and I represent BLP, Inc. Yeah... in regards to the conditional use permit, like to give a little background history. Um... at the time Grace Drilling was negotiating with us to lease the property (cleared throat) it had been recommended... they had had three sites recommended by the City of Kenai. Basically, I think Keith Kornelis was the one that recommended the sites and they chose our site as the best location. In order to make the site usable for Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 2 them, we spent approximately 10... well, we spent 10 thousand dollars out of pocket plus we gave all... away all the equipment that was on the yard; which was aneye-sore. In the 10,000 we spent it was to clean up the... the area, all around there. Lot of it not even being on our property and (cleared throat) when we purchased this property; I purchased the property from the former Mayor of the City of Kenai, Bud Dye and at the time when we got into the conversation with Grace Drilling and the City of Kenai, nothing was ever said about a conditional use permit, as... at the time we started dealing on that property it was zoned industrial or it had no zoning whatsoever. I don't think at that time it was with... within the city of Kenai (inaudible). So, (cleared throat) we made a large improvement on the land. Also, as far as um... the people that spoke at the last hearing, Kurt Wilcox, several years back had approached me about buying the property from us and... the yard was already established at that point and um... from where his home is to where the corner of the... our property is is approximately 700 feet and ah... the r... (cleared throat) so... we're quite a ways away from his actual residence. Ah... he... I gave him the information he requested to know about the purchase and he nev... never ah... did anything further about that. Also, I'd like to state that (cleared throat) in regards to the statement that was made (papers shuffling) in the minutes of the February 24~... (papers shuffling... long pause) about ah... (cleared throat) Be... Beaver Loop not having any idea what was going on on the property because being non-resident owners. I... I myself am a resident of Kenai Peninsula Borough, city of Seldovia. Ike been a resident of Alaska since 1944, I'm not a newcomer (cleared throat) so, just clear that up. Ah, also ah... Jeff Kohler in his statements... his property is approximately a mile and two tenths from our property. So, I don't know what confliction we really have with him as a neighbor because there's many properties in between him and us, so, he's not a neighbor, no. And for contamination on the site, our lease agreement with Nabors Drilling is if there is any contamination... now before Grace ever moved in they brought an environmental engineer up from their headquarters to inspect the land, they did soil testing, it was all fine... and I believe when Nabors bought Grace out, they also brought some environmental people up from their headquarters and made another site survey and g... gave the land an okay. In our lease agreement with Nabors, we have a clause in there that if the land should become contaminated through their use they have to clean it up. And Nabors (cleared throat) has been Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 3 in Alaska since 1961 or 62. I mean, they're not aJohnny-Come- Lately and they're not about to leave here. No. They do pay a substantial amount of tax to the City of Kenai for the equipment that is stored in that yard and Lance is with Nabors Drilling and he can tell you more about that but (cleared throat) as soon as we were notified that we needed a conditional use permit, I applied for it immediately. Had we been notified of that at the time, back in 91 when I was talking with Keith Kornelis and I have notes of about talking with Keith in regards to this property... had I ever been noti... given notice of that at that time we would have applied for the permit then so it's not like we're trying to sneak in the back door, we've been very open over all the years we been there. The yard was established in 91 when we first leased to Grace and it's not like we were trying to hide anything or do anything to the fact. There is a reference made to a... a couple oil... or a couple drums of unknown contaminates or containments and (cleared throat) I would like to see them moved also. They are not on our property by the way. They are on the property right adjacent to us and how they were got... how they got there is beyond me because everything that was on that property at time we did the clean up, even though it wasn't ours, we got rid of it. Glick: Okay... any questions? Mr. Bryson? Bryson: Yes, ah...if the City of Kenai requested to be ah...listed as an additional protective party as regards to liability that you and ah... Grace Drilling have entered into, ah...is that in the realm of a possibility or...? Polsky: Well no it isn't. I'll tell you why (chuckle) Grace Drilling is totally out of the picture... Bryson: Okay, Nabors, pardon me. Polsky: Okay, ah, from our standpoint, at BLP, I would say, yes ah... Lance will have to speak for Nabors Drilling. Glick: Any other questions? Okay, thank you for now any how. Anybody else in the public wishing to speak to this... Lance Leibole, Nabors Drilling. (from the audience) Ah, I wasn't planning on it but I guess I could say a couple things. Yeah, my name is Lance Leibole, L-E-I-B-O-L-E and I represent Nabors Drilling. I was just going to come down and... and ah... sit in today but ah... ah... as Warren stated that ah... we do pay taxes on that ah... equipment in there. It is ah... working drilling rigs, it's not junk by any means. And ah... when the rigs do work they employ probably about 48 people directly, probably a hundred Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 4 people indirectly and ah... we've improved the property, we've fenced it. We paid about $17,000.00 to fence the property. We don't have anything outside the fence and ah... really that's about it... and it is if you been by it, it's... it's a real clean yard. Glick: You have any potentially hazardous material stored there? Leibole: The only material we have there is... is motor oil. There's no... no hazardous material. Glick: How about diesel fuel? Leibole: Nnn.. shouldn't be any diesel fuel, no. Only in some vehicles. I wouldn't... call diesel fuel hazardous. Glick: Well, it gets in the soil though it's a contamination source. Leibole: Right, but it's not hazardous. I don't think it's classified as a hazardous material. Glick: Do... does this equipment move off of the site periodically and then come back again, that type of thing? Leibole: Yes. When we get a contract to put the rig to work. Glick: Okay. Don? Erwin: (inaudible) flatbed in there that is... (inaudible) several drums (inaudible) which you can't tell what's in them (inaudible). There's indication at least one is un-topped. Do you know whether there's...what may be stored in those... what's stored in those drums, are they open topped? Leibole: They shouldn't be opened topped. No, we... we... we know the problems that environmental contamination cause and ah... we... we try and store our equipment right. The only drums in there that I know of are new drums. Erwin: Well, there are some... it looked like (inaudible) and ah... (inaudible) I don't know if (inaudible) or not but it looked to me like they were (inaudible) Leibole: Okay, I... I'm not aware of that. Glick: Yes, Mr. Bryson? Bryson: Ah, are... are... are you aware of what the contaminants that were identified at the other site consisted of? Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 5 Leibole: No, that was before Nabors ah... came into the picture. That was... that was Grace Drilling. Bryson: Yeah. Glick: Any other questions for the gentlemen? Okay, thank you. Leibole: Thank you. Glick: You got something else you want to say? (directed at Polsky) Polsky: (from the audience) Ah...as far as the contamination on the court house site. I have a memo from (cleared throat) from Keith Kornelis that stated that that contamination was prior to Grace moving on to that site. And also, I was going to mention, which I forgot, that I have pictures of our property site prior to the time we did clean up and had we not clean it up we could have left it like it is and it would be a heck of an eyesore. Glick: Okay. All right, is there anyone else in the public wishing to speak, to add something to this? Laura Seibert, 3329 Beaver Loop, Kenai, Alaska. My name is Laura Seibert, I'm 3329 Beaver Loop, and I'm the adjacent property owner to the um... location in question and I want to thank the last two speakers for what the information because it's been really hard to get information on this um... and I already spoken twice since this is the third time we've... we've had this hearing and I'd like just to remind the Planning and Zoning Commission that there are people that spoke at previous meetings that couldn't be here tonight. Um... just two real quick things. Out of sight doesn't necessarily mean out of mind especially when it comes to um... the water contamination. That's the thing that worries me the most, the water um... table is so high back there it's basically at ground level. There's a lot of lakes, there's a lake right next to the... the fence basically so um... you know, saying just because it's 700 feet from my house or it's a mile and half from somebody else's house doesn't necessarily mean that it's not going to affect us. Um... and I want to commend Mr. Polsky for including in his contract that environmental testing needs to be done by Nabors and evidentially he doesn't need to do that, therefore, I would ask the Commission um.. to go along with what the City Engineer did recommend and that was to have that regular environmental testing be part of any conditional use permit that's granted. Thanks. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 6 Glick: Thank you. Anyone else in the public have anything to add? Okay, seeing none, I'll bring it back to the Commissioners. Ah, does the staff have anything to add to what was said before? La Shot: Um, she jus mentioned the City Engineer or his recommendations. I don't think I recommended ah... testing. I did recommend that there be compliance with applicable ADEC regulations. Um... that may or may not include testing. Glick: Over on the next page though Jack, under recommendations there is a... a sentence in there about we may want to consider testing prior to reclamation. La Shot: Yeah, it does say that. Um... do you have some comments on that or did... okay. It would be hard to recommend how to proceed on such a matter ah... what... what type and what... to what extent the testing should be. Um... I don't think we have specific recommendations in that regard. Glick: Okay. All right. Discussion. Mr. Bryson. Bryson: Yes ah... yes, ground water contamination is serious in any case ah... ah... when the site was.. in ah... downtown area here, ah... the area was served by ah... additionally served by a public water supply source elsewhere ah... the situation where it's at now the ah... any contamination would be disastrous to the people that live in the area or down-flu.. fluent... and that is a major concern I have. Accidental or... or... or whatever (inaudible). Granted, it apparently not happened yet with the ah... commercial use in the area but ah... it could, very easily. Glick: Mr. Goecke? Goecke: Ah, thank you Mr. Chairman. Ah... I (cleared throat) I agree with ah... ah... Commissioner Bryson in what he has just said, however, the... the problem of ah... of this... we're... we're looking at the... at an applicant who does not own the equipment and ahhhh... and I... like I said as I see that the um... this ground water of problem... yes in fact can be a problem um... but the problem ah... is, as I see it, we're looking to approve or disapprove an application by an applicant who has ah... wants to know if this can be done and he's doing this for a given dollar and ah... if he has to test this ground water ah... I'm afraid his little ah...rental number will not ah... stand it... um.. and I don't even know what he's make... getting for this but um... that's all. Lance Leibole: May I say something? Ah.. the proper... We don't have to have any ah... motor oil there. We store it there because Planning 8s Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 7 ah.. when the rig goes back we use it to put in our equipment and go with it. If it would make everybody happy we can certainly remove the few drums that are out there and then it's just equipment there, there's... there's no motor oil. Glick: Okay, thank you. Polsky: Can I make another statement. The groundwater that they're referring to has been there for approximately 50 years (inaudible) there's no new water other than what Mother Nature puts there. Glick: Okay. Ah, more discussion? Member from Audience: Since you~e opened it up, can I discuss it? Glick: Well do you have some pertinent answer or... Goecke: Public hearing is over. Glick: I mean, we had the public hearing and it's closed where these gentlemen were supplying answers of questions that we wanted answered. Mr. Erwin? Erwin: I had... there was a statement made which ah... I beg to differ with it but ah... diesel fuel, as far as my knowledge is considered a hazardous material and ah... on storage of diesel fuel there are contain... requirements that say to comply with DEC. Just... for people who may not be aware of that (cough) at least, that's what we fmd in my business which is closely associated but ah... diesel fuel is considered a hazardous substance when you start going to a clean up and that should be a concern. Glick: Ms. Nord? Nord: Maybe the ideal situation here would be to make it in compliance with the ah...DEC regulations regarding contaminant materials instead of hazardous materi... materials if it's not considered hazardous and just a contaminant but... it ah... I don't know for a fact what it's considered. I do feel that there should be some sort of safeguards to protect the neighboring properties, especially from contamination of the water table. Glick: Okay. Seems like everybody has a concern about that ah... somebody have ah... amendment... to make a motion to cover that? Anybody thought about that? Mr. Goecke? Planning 8v Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 8 ~ Goecke: Thank you. Um... if... if we would have um... a verbal or a written statement from ah... Nabors that they would not bring their ah... fuel tanks back onto location with diesel fuel in em' and rim... and he's already said that he would remove the ah... ah... whatever motor oil is on location, we're down to ah.. where there's nothing ah...nothing there. I mean, would that be ah... can I ask him a... one more question? Glick: Yes. Goecke: Would... would that be a possibility that the um... your fuel ah... storage tanks could be um.. emptied before being brought onto loca... back to ah... the yard? Leibole: The only... the only diesel we have would be in our equipment... Goecke: Oh. Leibole: ...the loader and... and ah... and the trucks out there; and it's gotta stay in there. Goecke: Sure. I think everybody understands that. Leibole: Other than that, we don't have any diesel stored out there. Glick: Just motor oil? Leibole: Correct. Siebert: Can I... say something. Glick: No, the public hearing was closed Mam, were been asking them questions for clarification but... Siebert: Okay. Glick: Ah, Mr. Bryson? Bryson: Ah, just one other area and I'm... I am unfamiliar with it but I presume that ah... occasionally ah...radioactivity becomes associated with some of the... the drill pipe. I'm not sure but I.. you know, I am aware that ah... this is equipment that's been down hole and it's ah... likely to be contaminated with anything that's in presence with and ah... whether it washes off the equipment or... or what, it may or may not affect the ah... soil conditions. I just... I just... I think the ah... the ground water is ah... vulnerable in that area and the other thing is ah... ground Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 9 ~ water is transitory (inaudible) the water isn't building up, it's flowing sideways there and that's essentially what it's doing and it flows right into the soil. Glick: Mr. Moore? Moore: Mr. Chairman, am I allowed to ask questions? Glick: Yes. Moore: Thanks. I'd like to ask Ms. Siebert if she's interested in responding to the fact that the area was originally zoned as rural residential prior to the relocation of the equipment into the area? Siebert: Ah... I assumed... oh... (inaudible) Moore: (inaudible) answer your question... (inaudible) Siebert: Oh, okay, um... when... honestly when we bought the property there I assumed all of Beaver Loop... I believe it is zoned rural residential, correctly? Is that right? Glick: Yeah. Siebert: But I guess we were going on the assumption that there had been a conditional use permit granted prior to... the yard was already there when we bought the property. Glick: (directed at Moore) Does that answer your question? Moore: Is that all you wanted to say? (directed at Siebert) Siebert: Um... I... I... it seemed like the topic has changed here to a verbal agreement with um... Nabors Drilling and I just... have a question as to once a conditional use permit is granted... Nabors Drilling might not be there in a year, they might not be there in five years and then once the... the permit is given um... a verbal agreement, even a written agreement with Nabors Drilling to me doesn't do the trick. Isn't it true that once a conditional use permit is granted that it's granted to the owner of the property not the person leasing the property... Glick: But if that was written into the conditional use permit it would always be there. Siebert: Oh yeah, that's... Glick: It wouldn't matter... Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 10 ') Siebert: That's isn't what I heard though.. it's just... Glick: Okay. Was that all you... Moore: Thank you. Glick: Jack, do you recall when Beaver Loop was zoned rural residential? I mean, how many years ago was that? Long time ago wasn't it? La Shot: Yeah, I think it was at the same time the rest of the City ah... became zoned. Glick: Okay, that's what I thought, so... Bryson: In excess of 20 years. Glick: Yeah. Okay, so... Bryson: Ah, I would just like to refit... reiterate the one point that ah... the question was specific to that area... ah... it was rural residential zoning ah... the area downstream from it... or down gradient from it is... is rural residential also and the intent (inaudible) would be to ah... when the property reclaimed to utilize it rural residential. It's unlikely that water systems are going to be serving that area, ah.. public water systems (inaudible) in the near future. Glick: Okay. Well, I think at this point we have two choices; we can vote on this as is, whether it passes or fails or we can amend it to maybe ah... address some of these concerns we're talking about the water table and then pass it or ah... just not pass it. So... it's up to the Commissioners if you want to put an amendment on there or just vote on it. I mean, I think what you said Ron was good but if it's only verbal and not part of the conditional use it doesn't mean anything if somebody else leases the property. Goecke: Mr. Chairman, the um... I understand that, the ah... and... well, I think what I... probably didn't clarif... didn't say it very well but ah.. (cleared throat) excuse me, we really have nothing to do with Nabors Drilling. Glick: Yeah. Goecke: You know... our... our deal is with ah... the Beaver Loop Partnership. Um... and so, whatever we have with Nabors, but, you're right, doesn't mean anything but if it... if that was to be included into the conditional use permit that Nabors have this Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 11 agreement with the ah... Partnership, then ah... then it is part of this document ah... am I right? Glick: Yeah, but we'll have to amend it to... Goecke: I understand that... Glick: Yeah, okay... Goecke: I understand that... Glick: Right, Okay. So, that having been said, are we ready to vote or we ready to amend? Mr. Bryson? Bryson: I'd like to clarify ah... are you proposing an amendment? Goecke: Nope. That's up to you. Bryson: Nothing to clarify. Glick: Okay. Any more questions, anybody? Okay, then we're going to vote. VOTE: ERWIN NO GOECKE YES NORD YES NEWBRY ABSENT BRYSON NO GLICK NO Motion failed. Glick informed the applicant of his right to appeal to the City Council by obtaining the necessary forms from the City Clerk. This has to be accomplished within thirty days. 5. 6. ?. NEW BUSINESS: OLD BUSINESS: None CODE ENFORCEMENT: a. Lot 2, Saint Patricks Subdivision -Possible violation of KMC 14.20.245 (d) (3) (Use of recreational vehicle for residential use.) La Shot reported that no response was received regarding the possible violation. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 12 8. REPORTS: a. City Council Moore directed attention to the City Council agenda included in the packet. Moore reported, Items C-1 and C-2 passed unanimously. Items C- 3and 4 were tabled as control was only given to Administration for encroachments or the setbacks. The majority of the Council felt Administration should be able to give the exemption. Items C- 5through C-17 were passed unanimously. Moore continued, at New Business, Items H-1 though H-9 were approved. He noted, council recommended the City settle the Inlet Woods issue. Erwin asked about Item C-16 regarding the telephone system software. Moore explained, the City provided PTI with a letter regarding becoming Y2K compliant with the Public Safety and City Hall telephone system. PTI responded by telling the City what was required. The City agreed but requested that it be Y2K compliant and PTI stated their attorneys' advised they could not guarantee that anything was Y2K compliant. Moore noted that PTI did not give a quote on any guarantees so after much discussion Council decided to stay with PTI as the only alternative would be an entirely new phone system and that would not be cost effective. b. Borough Planning Bryson reported the Borough Planning Commission met on April 26, 1999 and a copy of the agenda was included in the packet. Bryson continued, the consent agenda was approved as submitted. Under Public Hearings, Items F-1(a), (b), and (c) were approved. He noted, F-1(d) was denied which was in regard to renaming Lawing Drive to Alaska Nellie's Road. It was felt that Lawing Drive was already a historical name. Item F-2, F-3 and 4 were approved. Item F-5, a proposal to name a mountain after an individual was postponed until comments were received form interested individuals. Bryson continued, at Special Considerations, Items H-1(a) and (b) were approved. He added, Item J-1, Kenai River Habitat Protection, a situation was discussed where an individual in Kenai Keys requested a conditional use to construct and/or replace an open-sided boathouse. Staff recommended it be denied but the Planning Commission voted to approve the item. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 13 i{ 1 Item K-1, Coastal Management Program Considerations was an item where Zubeck requested a Corps permit to continue filling an area near Swires Drive. The Coastal Zone staff recommended the request be denied. Bryson reported that the Corps also denied the request. c. Administration La Shot reported that the bids for the Challenger Learning Center and Multipurpose Facility were received and came in over estimates. No decisions were made at this point but he expected there would be some lengthy discussion on both bids. 9. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: Nolan Compton, 2785 Beaver Loop Road. Nolan expressed his concern about the corner of Beaver Loop Road and Bridge Access Road. Nolan stated that when the work was done there last year the intersection was narrowed and it was difficult for large vehicles and school buses to turn safely. La Shot reported the City had already notified the Department of Transportation on the problem but Mr. Nolan's concerns would also be forwarded via a copy of these minutes. 10. INFORMATION ITEMS: a. DNR Letter dated 4/ 16/99 11. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: Commissioner Erwin stated he visited the Beaver Loop area and noticed there were some other uncontained tanks on various properties. If there are concerns with groundwater perhaps these need to be looked at as well. Commissioner Goecke indicated there was some discussion about revising the Comprehensive Plan and recommended that Title 14 be revised at the same time. Goecke asked the Commission if they thought the Comprehensive Plan and Title 14 should be done at the same time or separately. La Shot reported, money had been appropriated for the revision of the Comprehensive Plan and the recommended procedure was to do the Comprehensive Plan first and then rewrite individual sections of the Code. La Shot added that nothing had been started yet. Glick polled the Commission with the following results: 1. Goecke felt they should be re-worked at the same time. Planning 8s Zoning Commission Meeting April 28, 1999 Page 14 2. Bryson had no opinion at this time. 3. Nord thought the Plan should come first followed by the Code. 4. Erwin had no opinion at this time. 5. Glick felt the Comp Plan should be done first, followed by the Code. Bryson suggested the Borough be contacted as they may be able to provide some insight on how best to proceed with rewriting the Comp Plan. 12. ADJOURNMENT: GOECKE MOVED TO ADJOURN.
