Planning & Zoning Commission July 8, 1998 Page 1 Approved Kebschull reported that the City Engineer reviewed the plat in the subdivision and there is a 40' right-of--way in the front of the lots in addition to a 200' right-of--way next to the Seward Highway so that actually takes back from the plat that was submitted. Kebschull continued, the City Engineer believes the ?5' of trees is located in the right-of--way. It was also noted that the owner was present in the audience. No further discussion. Vote WERNER-QUADE YES GOECKE YES NORD YES GRAVELEY YES GLICK YES Motion passed unanimously. 8. OLD BUSINESS: -None 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: -None 10. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley pointed out that a copy of the Council agenda from the July 1 meeting was included in the packet. The following report was made: Item C-1 failed as the Challenger Learning Center had the funds available for the design and did not need assistance from the City. Smalley reported that the Challenger Learning Center no longer has a relationship with the City of Kenai and will move forward independently, however, the City will own the land the center is built on. Item C-2, Ordinance No. 1787-98, Development Requirements Table, was passed, however it was amended to remove the administrative exemptions of 10%. Council felt that if there was going to be an adjustment on the property line the adjacent owners need to be notified. Additionally, Council looked at the time reference and if in fact the item was put on a consent agenda and a Commissioner decided to have it pulled then that would reschedule it for another hearing, ultimately delaying construction for up to a month. Planning & Zoning Commission July 8, 1998 Page 2 Approved Items C-4, 5 and 6 were passed unanimously. Item H-6, the Board of Adjustment Hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21. The reason it is scheduled on a Tuesday is due to the amount of testimony to be given. Item H-7 was put on hold pending notification from FAA regarding whether or not FAA funds qualify for development contracts. Item H-8, discussion of the Airport terminal smoking policy. Two resolutions will be brought before Council on July 15. One will completely eliminate smoking in the terminal and the other will be to provide a designated smoking area, either in a glassed-in area or outside the terminal. Smalley noted that one of the two resolutions will pass. Werner-Quade commented on the smoking policy in the airport terminal and pointed out the issue was discussed previously when she was on the Airport Commission because of State laws that go along with smoking. Werner-Quade reported that whenever she goes into the terminal she just about dies because of the smoke. Werner-Quade continued, she delivers mail to the terminal and cannot wait to get back outside because the smoke is quite bad for a public area. Smalley encouraged Werner-Quade to come to the Council meeting to sign up to testify but pointed out that at this point in time the Airport is not in violation of the law. b. Borough Planning - No report c. Administration: Kebschull bought attention to the information handed out prior to the meeting regarding Conditional Use Permits and noted it was provided so that the Commission could review it. Kebschull continued, in the past several months it was noted there was some problems in the way the current code was written. As a result, the City Attorney and Kebschull reviewed other City codes and came up with what they felt would be best for the City of Kenai. After a brief discussion it was decided that the item would be put on the next agenda as a discussion item. Kebschull will provide a memo explaining the changes and it will be forwarded to the Commissioners. 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: -None 12. INFORMATION ITEMS: Planning & Zoning Commission July 8, 1998 Page 3 Approved a. Kenai Municipal Airport Master Plan Executive Summary 13. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS: Commissioner Nord expressed concern with the junked vehicles within the City, most specifically those located on Sycamore and First Avenue. Commissioner Graveley commented on the Airport Master Plan Executive Summary and stated it was an excellent looking plan but it is aggressive. Graveley felt it was something that needs to probably be approved for the overall future of the community and the City. Graveley expressed concern with the approach pattern at the south end of the runway and thought perhaps problems may be created down the road with larger aircraft and the noise associated with them. Graveley noted that this has probably been studied and it is possible there isn't too much that can be done about it unless the airport is moved. Commissioner Werner-Quade stated that the Moose Camper Park is in full swing again this year and having just gotten back from camping in Seward and paying $8.00 per night, she noted the campers don't pay anything at the Moose Camper Park. 14. ADJOURNMENT: GRAVELEY MOVED TO ADJOURN. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:16 P.M. Respectfully submitted, ~i ~,~ Barbara Roper, Con act Secretary Planning & Zoning Commission July 8, 1998 Page 4
