Wright Chairman Bryson reported that the City Attorney and City Manager had vetoed the Commission's approval of this item, because there was no public hearing before the vote on reconsideration, at the July 24th meeting. The next step, as suggested by Administration, is to reschedule the Public hearing process and take another vote on the issue. Jack La Shot said that is what the Administration would like to do. The Planning Staff would contact the applicant and confirm that she would like the item to appear before the Commission again. Commissioner Bannock, asked if all the previous people involved in the Public Hearing process would be notified. Jack La Shot, yes and the Commission would go through the Public Hearing process again. Chairman Bryson asked for a motion, reminding the Commission that the previous motion to reconsider was still valid. This would just be a motion for a revote, after considering Public Hearing testimony. MOTION: Commissioner Rehm moved to set a public hearing on the reconsideration of a Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast application for Sharalyn Wright. Commissioner Bannock seconded. VOTE: Glick - No Rehm - Yes Scott - Yes Graveley - yes Bryson.- Yes 6. NEW BUSINESS a. South Central Air Expansion of Hangar on Lease Lands Jack La Shot explained that this property was currently being lease by the City. All plans for expansion on City leased lands must come before the Commission for approval. Vern Lofstedt, representative for South Central Air, explained to the Commission the plans for expansion of the hangar. The hangar ~ presently is a hangar/office. SCA wishes to add 1600 square feet to the existing building. All FAA permits have been obtained. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 28, 1991 ' Page 3 MOTION: Commissioner Glick moved for approval of expansion of Hangar to South Central Air, Lot 3 Block 1, General Aviation Apron. Seconded by Commissioner Graveley. Passed unanimously. b. Approval of Lease Application Robert Roper and Johnny Jackson Jack La Shot explained that the application was for auto cleaning and repair, security parking, taxi cab dispatch, offices and warehouse storage and a commercial coin operated car wash. The application appears to be consistent within this zone. Administration had a concern that the lot in question is adjacent to lots which may be used for a court house. Administration felt it might be more appropriate for the applicant to lease another lot near the same location. Chairman Bryson asked if there was a representative of the interested parties present at the Commission meeting. Seeing none, he asked that the minutes reflect there was no representative in attendance. MOTION & VOTE: Commissioner Glick moved to postpone action on approval of lease to Robert Roper and Johnny Jackson, to give applicants the option of leasing other available lots. Commissioner Scott seconded and amended the motion to require development plans be submitted as required by the application. Glick concurred with amendment. Rehm: Yes Scott: Yes Graveley: Yes Bryson: Yes Bannock: Abstain Glick: Yes 7. PLANNING a. Proposed Development in TSH Zone - Day-Care - Jahrig Will Jahrig explained that the existing building was approximately 5500 square feet. The proposed child care facility would eventually care for up to 100 children and may become a 24 hour facility. The building would have to be resided, reroofed, rewired and a fire and sprinkler system would be installed. Chairman Bryson asked the applicant if he owned any of the adjacent lots? KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 28, 1991 Page 4 Jahrig said that they owned Lot 20 and are in the process of purchasing lot 19, which will be used for a playground area. There is an existing ROW there which may be used as an access to the facility. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Bannock moved for approval of development on Lot 16 Block 5 Townsite Historical Zone, Day Care Facility. Commissioner Glick seconded. Passed unanimously. b. Preliminary Plat - Horseshoe End at Riverbend #3 Jack La Shot explained that the owners of Lot 2 are purchasing a piece of Lot 1 to avoid an encroachment problem. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Scott moved approval of Preliminary Plat Horseshoe End at Riverbend #3. Commissioner Graveley seconded. Passed unanimously. c. Request for Rezone Query - Mike Johnson Mike Johnson explained that he presently owned property along the Spur highway which was zoned General Commercial (CG). He would like to utilize the property for a dog boarding kennel, a green house facility and possibly a pet crematorium. The building is a block building. The present septic system is inadequate for the apartment and for cleaning kennels. The current plan is that waste would be incinerated and hauled to the landfill. Johnson asked the Commission if he could obtain a Conditional Use Permit for these uses. Commissioner Bannock asked if there was an occupation which was not allowed in General Commercial (CG) which was allowed in Rural Residential? He explained that he felt that the CG zone would allow almost anything. Jack La Shot said, according to the Land Use Table a dog kennel was not allowed in the CG zone. He suggested that Administration could look into the options which might be available to Mr. Johnson. Councilman Smalley suggested the Commission make a recommendation for Administration to review options for the applicant. Administration should contact Johnson to advise him of his options. So noted.

City Council Councilman Smalley reported on several agenda items, including: Congregate Housing Project bid had been awarded to Gaston and Associates of Anchorage. The bid had come in at 3.8 million, below the estimates for the project. Mike Pelch had approached Council regarding the opening of an old gravel pit on his property. This is not the same pit the Commission denied use of in the past. But a pit which was utilized by the State when building Beaver Loop and Bridge Access Roads. He had brought the idea of a speed limit on Mission Avenue, before the Council. This matter will have to go to the main church in Kodiak. Until a decision is reached there will be no speed limit, since the road is on private church property. b. Borough Planning Chairman Bryson reported on agenda items.
