Resolution PZ 94-10: Landscaping/Site Plan Review -Schilling Uptown Motel Addition MOTION: Goecke MOVED approval of Resolution PZ 9410. Pierce SECONDED. Discussion: Jack La Shot reported that parking was an Administrative concern. By Code the total development, with the new restaurant, etc. would require 95-100 parking spaces, and that the code allows a reduction of 75% for multiple uses on the same lot. Which brings the allotment dawn to 71-72 spaces as submitted, there is also some on-street parking available along Ryan's Drive. The area to be landscaped will run along the front of the proposed addition. Administration would recommend approval with the applicant working with Administration to resolve parking issues. Louis Schilling explained that there is not too much space to allow landscaping. Currently they maintain the area which is in the State R.O.W., they will also develop a small area in front of the new addition. He agreed to work with La Shot to address the parking situation.

Teresa Werner-Quade SECONDED. Discussion: Walker opened the meeting to public hearing. Mark Carr, applicant, explained that they had recently had an as-built done, and found out they were 1.2 feet too close to the road. Walker pointed out that there were really two encroachments, in the front and on the side. Bryson said it appears to have minimum impact in both cases, since it was just the corner of the structure in both instances. He felt that the encroachment conformed to the intent of the Code.

S. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS 9. REPORTS Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission February 23, i 994 Page 4 a. City Council Councilman Bannock reported that the City will be selling lots along Evergreen (behind Larry's Club). The lots will be sold for a minimum bid of $11,000 each. Bids will be opened April 14, 10:00 a.m. The City has requested additional street lights be installed in conjunction with the Spur Highway project. The DOT has agreed to install 14 lights between Tinker and Swires. The Historic District Board should be appointed this week. The Russian Orthodox Church had written a letter to the City requesting that Councilman Duane Bannock, and Planning and Zoning Commissioner Ron Goecke represent the City on this Board. b. Borough Planning Bryson reported that the only item germane to the City was the approval of Baron Park SID Addition #2. c. Administration La Shat said the Thompson Park water and sewer project was proceeding. The Commission would probably need to consider a rezone of that area from Rural Residential (RR) to Suburban Residential (RS) once the project has been bid. The City traditionally establishes the RS zone when water and sewer become available. This allows for smaller lot sizes and further development of property. 1~_ PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 11.
