Transportation - Commissioner Bryson felt that some mention of trails which need improvements should be made. Utilities - Last paragraph should reflect the desire for the proposed landfill to be in a remote part of the Borough outside City limits. 8. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley noted the updated CIP list and reported that the funds for the Congregate Housing Project have been requested from the Governor's portion of the State budget. This will mean that this project will be competing against fewer requests for State dollars. La Shot informed the Commission that an Ordinance will go before Council at their next meeting to rezone a portion of Marathon Road to facilitate the proposed UAA Training Facility. Planning and Zoning will hold a public hearing on this issue January 23rd. Due to time constraints the Ordinance will go to Council for introduction before Planning and Zoning can act upon the request. Hopefully construction of this project will begin in June. Councilman Smalley also mentioned the "Clean and Lien" Ordinance which was mailed to the Commissioners. There is currently no provision for this type of ordinance within the City of Kenai. Smalley felt that the Council and possibly the Planning and Zoning Commission should hold a work session to discuss this ~ idea. Councilman Smalley reported that the Council had appointed Cary Graves as the new City Attorney and that he has accepted that position. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 4 b. Borough Planning Chairman Bryson reported that the Plat for Spur Sub. #9 was granted Administrative approval. Bryson also reported that the Borough is in the process of completing their Comp Plan and one of the issues being addressed is the need for Boroughwide animal control, outside of City limits. c. City Administration Jack La Shot recommended that the Commission hold a work session after their next meeting to discuss the Land Use Plan section of the Comp Plan. He also reported that the City will begin several construction projects this spring including: Reconstruction of Marathon Road, including utility upgrades; Airport drainage project; Trading Bay Road extension; Sewer Treatment Plant Modifications; Kenai Bicentennial Visitor and Cultural Center; and Congregate Housing. 9.
