ADJOURNMENT: CITY OF KENAI PLANNING 8a ZONING COMMISSION KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS October 13, 1999 - 7:00 p.m. CHAIRMAN CARL GLICK, PRESIDING MINUTES ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER Chairman Glick called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. 1-a.

Consent Agenda ITEM 2: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT -None PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1999 PAGE 1 ITEM 3: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS -None ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARINGS 4-a. PZ99-35-A resolution of the Planning 8s Zoning Commission recommending to the Council of the City of Kenai changing certain existing street names. (Postponed from September 22, 1999 meeting.) MOTION: Bryson MOVED to approve PZ99-35. Motion SECONDED by Goecke. No public comment. Kebschull reported she asked Mr. Springer to be present at the meeting because he was instrumental in working with the technician who recommended the changes. Kebschull continued, she met with Bryson and he expressed some concern which Springer could possibly address. Bryson noted that it appeared the situation was where the better of two options were taken. Bryson pointed out that Tern and Fern Streets were both situated adjacent to the point where the numbering system reverses whether it's east/west or north/south. Bryson also noted they were both short segments so it is his understanding that Administration thought it was more appropriate to change the name of the street so that the addressing system could be maintained. Springer confirmed that was correct. Bryson expressed concern with the Togiak Street between 3rd and 4~ off of Forest Drive as it was a street that had never been built on and no addresses were ever given for it. Bryson reported it would be his preference to change the street name so there was not a Togiak in east and west Kenai. Springer stated it could also be left as an unnamed street if the Commission desired, but the street was originally named Togiak Street. Spring continued, it really didn't matter to Administration what the street was named. Kebschull noted, when she and Springer were doing research on the street they noticed the Borough had already changed it from Togiak Street to Togiak Place without any notification to the City of Kenai. After further discussion it was decided the street name would be changed. MOTION TO AMEND: Bryson MOVED to propose the recommended official name of the adjacent subdivision be used which is Gilbertson. Goecke SECONDED the Motion. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1999 PAGE 2 VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: BRYSON YES ERWIN YES GOECKE YES NORD YES NEWBRY ABSENT GLICK YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Kebschull asked for clarification to determine whether the street was to be named Gilbertson Street, Place, or Way. Bryson stated the intent would be in conformance with the street-naming procedures. VOTE ON MAIN AMENDED MOTION: ERWIN YES GOECKE YES NORD YES NEWBRY ABSENT BRYSON YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 5: NEW BUSINESS 5-a. Lot 1, Spur Subdivision, Senior Citizen Addition -Recommendation as to whether land needed for public purpose or should be made available for sale. MOTION: Goecke MOVED to recommend that Lot 1, Spur Subdivision, Senior Citizen Addition be made available for sale. Bryson SECONDED the Motion. Kebschull stated staff had nothing additional to the information included in the packet. Bryson asked if staff would create an easement to protect the City water and sewer if there wasn't one at this time. Kebschull replied that was correct and the parties involved were aware of it. Nord stated a member of the Beautification Committee would like this parcel to be kept as a public park with areas to plant flowers. When asked if the City had received any suggestions for the parcel, Kebschull answered they did not. Bryson asked if Parks and Recreation was going to be asked the same question. Bannock noted that in the past it was never a requirement to go to Parks and Recreation but there was one item that started out with them, then came to Planning and Zoning so that it could be found that there was a specific public purpose for the parcel. Bannock continued, he PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1999 PAGE 3 wasn't sure if this was intended to go to Parks and Recreation but a recommendation wouldn't hurt if that was what the Commission wanted to do. Bannock added the issue, however, was only slated for introduction at the next City Council meeting but there would be no Parks and Recreation meeting prior to that. Bannock noted a schedule change would be required should Parks and Recreation be notified. Nord reported it was discussed at the Beautification Committee meeting on October 12 and the Parks and Recreation Director, Bob Frates, felt there would be too much additional labor for his department to handle another park. Nord added the majority of the Beautification Committee agreed to vote down creating a park in that particular area. Goecke stated he didn't think Parks and Recreation needed to be notified, as there were several parks in the City already. Bannock reiterated that the item should be on the consent agenda at the October 20+~ meeting for introduction only. A public hearing would take place at the first meeting in November. Administration would notify the Parks and Recreation Commission of the schedule. VOTE GOECKE YES NORD YES NEWBRY ABSENT BRYSON YES ERWIN YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 5-b. *PZ99-37-Home Occupation Permit (Clinical Hypnotherapy)-For the property described as Tract E, Leo Oberts Subdivision (1500 Chinook Court), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Christina Oberts, 1500 Chinook Court, Kenai, Alaska. Consent Agenda item approved - no discussion. ITEM 6: OLD BUSINESS -None ITEM T: PENDING ITEMS 7-a. PZ99-36-Landscape Site Plan for the property described as Lot 2-C, Block 1, Spur Sub No. 6 (412 Frontage Road), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by John Mellish, RPM's Rebuild, Inc., 412 Frontage Road, Kenai, Alaska. (Postponed from September 22, 1999 meeting pending submittal of revised plan.) PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1999 PAGE 4 Kebschull reported John Mellish had not submitted a plan yet but he was ~ hoping to have something available by the Commission's next meeting. Bannock apologized for not being present at the last meeting but noted in the minutes that a discussion took place on having a work session to discuss the item with Mellish. Bannock continued, he shared the idea with the Council and it was his opinion a work session might not be required as it could be handled at a regular meeting as an agenda item. Bannock added his hesitation for a work session stemmed from the requirement to change advertising, to change how business is normally conducted, the contract secretary, etc. so he asked that the Commission reconsider having a work session. Bryson stated it was his suggestion to have a work session and he had no objection of having it placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting. ?.b Proposed Livestock Ordinance (Postponed from September 22, 1999 meeting pending work session.) Bannock asked if the Commission would consider temporarily holding off on having a work session for the livestock ordinance as the first priority for the new council this winter would be to begin reviewing ordinance, rules and regulations that administration had targeted as being outdated, not being followed, or in need of change. Goecke stated he would not have a problem with holding off for awhile as long as it didn't extend over a year. Bannock assured that would not happen and there were other Planning and Zoning issues needing to be addressed that could all be done in one work session. The Commission agreed to postpone the item to a later date. ITEM 8: CODE ENFORCEMENT -None ITEM 9: REPORTS 9-a. City Council Councilman Bannock reported a City Council meeting was held on October 6, 1999 and the action agenda was included in the packet. Item C-1, council set the Crow Court Street Improvement Special Assessment District paving project that took place this summer. Item C-2, Resolution 99-56; Bannock noted he clarified council was not getting involved in a fisheries allocation issue but the fish tax distribution. Item G-1 was just a summary of future possible development plans administration laid out and recommended rezone issues in the area. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1999 PAGE 5 Bannock also reported Pat Porter was elected to Council. Bannock stated he would like to remain as a representative to the Planning and Zoning Commission. He also reported the annual evaluations for the City Attorney and City Clerk were reviewed and both were very satisfactory. Bannock stated one of the goals for the new council would be to appoint a seventh member to the Planning and Zoning Commission and suggested that should be accomplished by December. 9-b. Borough Planning Bryson reported the Borough had a plat and regular planning meeting on September 27, 1999. In the Plat Committee meeting there were two plats, one was approved and one was denied. They were both moved for reconsideration. Those items came before the Plat Committee on October 11. In the regular meeting of September 27, 1999, all items on the agenda were recommended for approval. At the Plat meeting on October 11, 1999, the Kachemak Selo issue was again discussed. He noted, this involved platting a large number of lots around existing structures and buildings, going around right-of--ways and keeping encroachments at a minimum. The developer and surveyor met with Borough staff and they worked out reasonable right-of--way widths which are, in some cases, less than 60' but were acceptable. Both items were reconsidered and recommended for approval. At the regular meeting, the guest speaker, Kathy Scott, was rescheduled because of the lengthy plat meeting. All items on the Planning Commission agenda were approved. 9-c. Administration Kebschull stated the handout provided prior to the meeting was faxed to her office inviting the Planning and Zoning Commission to attend the session. If anyone planned to attend, she added, they could contact Elizabeth Benson or Kebschull. The session, scheduled for November 6, would be held from 1 to 4 p.m. and Census 2000 database applications will be presented. The State Planning Association meeting will be held from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Kebschull reported she attended the open house on the Unity Trail prior to the commission meeting and noted it was quite interesting. She added, it was anticipated the trail could be completed. The group had wonderful aerial photography that showed the Spur Highway. Kebschull noted the packet also included an overview of all the items the Commission had taken business on to date. The code violations were included so the Commission could see the type of items staff was tracking.
