Resolution PZ 94-14: Sundance Construction -Lake Street Jack La Shot reported that the development is behind Dan's TV, and is located on private lots. It is the new building for Central Peninsula Counseling Services and is on a fast track. A building permit was issued for the foundation as the valuation was under $10,000, any framing which is being done has been at the builder's awn risk. A ROW vacation request will probably be coming before P&Z in the near future. The owners are also hoping to acquire adjacent lots, if they can not obtain these lots there should be room on their lot to extend parking area into their property on the left side. Phil Bryson said he was uncomfortable approving a plan on property that belongs to someone other than the applicant, which is in a public status. He felt it was wrong to give an opinion before there was a public hearing on the vacation of the easement, and approving a sitepian for off the lot is ill advised. La Shot recommended an option that approval of the sitepian be contingent on the vacation being approved or have the owner extend parking onto his own property. He also recommended that the Commission stipulate that the landscaping plan not be deviated from, at least on the east side of the lot should they need to expand parking on that side. Ron Goecke asked if there was a reason that the vacation had not been applied for Yet? Rick Vann, Sundance Construction, P.O. Box 561, Kasilof, the process has been started at the Borough level. The Counseling Service has to be out of their present offices by June 1, so he is trying to get the building done. What they are doing is taking out the overburden which will have to be done even if the road extension has to Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission April 13, 1994 Page 3 go through there for access to the property. Between now and the time the vacation is approved he will go right into the planting stage far the landscaping. Phil Bryson, asked La Shot if the area where the parking is proposed to be off the lot was a 60 foot ROW? La Shot, said yes, that entire parking lot is wi#hin that ROW. Bryson asked i# the picnic area was on another lot? Rick Vann said there were three lots there, two have already been purchased the third he was waiting on the paperwork on. Most of the property is over the bluff and there is very little usable property left. MOTION: BRYSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE SITEPLAN FOR THE SUBJECT LOT WITH A REQUIREMENT THAT THE APPLICANT HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR PARKING ON HIS OWN PROPERTY, IF PROPERTY EXPANDS PARKING CAN EXPAND. LORI MCCOMSEY SECONDED. Rick Vann said that there is enough parking available for the building size on his lots, if the vacation is not granted. Phil Bryson asked if the City Attorney has been apprised of this situation. La Shot answered, "yes". Bryson said it was his assumption that no rights were being granted for any property which is not in present ownership.

Chairman Walker opened the item for public comment, seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission and asked for staff comments. La Shot reported that the applicant plans to put an addition on the west side of the building and extend parking in that direction. The landscaping plan is minimal and there may be room for a tree or shrubs. Phil Bryson said he would be abstaining from this item as his firm was providing design services for the expansion.

Chairman Walker opened the item for public comment, seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission and asked for staff comments. Jack La Shot mentioned that the lease for this property had been approved on a previous item. The landscaping will be similar to the adjacent car wash, a mounded area with four trees and a roped fence.

Jack La Shot said that some natural vegetation will be left and a lawn will be planted between the new building and the existing building. Phil Bryson asked if lot BLM 151 is own by the church & 152 is owned by the city? La Shot answered both lots are owned by the city, there is an existing encroachment. The church would like to purchase these lots but they have been designated park lands and it is virtually impossible to sell them. Bryson asked if the sitepian approval was for Lot 1? La Shot said yes and you could further state that it does not pertain to the existing building.

RON GOECIICE SECONDED. Clarence Aiken, Director of Technical Services, Cellular One, 411 Mellow Place, Anchorage. Ed Call, said he saw some discrepancies in the application. One place the tower is 135 #oot and the other says 120. Aiken said he didn`t see anything with 135, the correct height is 120 feet. The FAA document requires that everything be included, even the antennae above the tower, so Cellular One gives themselves same leeway on the application. Edward Call asked if there would be a red light on top of the tower. Aiken, replied that is based on FAA regulations, but the distance that the tower is from the airport should not require a red light on that tower. The FAA filing is more a ~ courteousy to the FAA, to give them the final judgement on that. Based on their guidelines it shouldn't require one. Edward Call, 1202 Lilac, asked if the tower would affect property values in that area? Mr. Aiken felt there shouldn't be any affect on the valuation. Call asked if there were any code requirements to make sure there were buffers between this business and residential properties? La Shot said this development was in place before the Landscaping/Site Plan code was developed. Phil Bryson asked if the transmissions would interfere with focal television reception, etc? Aiken said that the frequencies are well above television frequencies, he did not know of any instances where this was a problem and if anyone felt things were being interfered with, Cellular One would be happy to come and take a look at it. Edward Call said his concerns had been addressed. Tom Moore, PO Box 944, Kenai, said he own a duplex behind the proposed tower area. He said he had no objections but was concerned that there not be a red flashing light on top of the tower. He asked if a condition could be made that a red Kenai Planning and Zoning Cammissian April 13, i 994 Page 7 light not be allowed. ~ Phil Bryson said he interpreted the testimony to be that there was no enerai ob'ection 9 1 to the conditional use permit.

Spruce Bark Beetle -Moose Pass Cooperative Project ~a Shot noted that the City Manager had requested that the Commission review the packet of information and make recommendations to the State. Chairman Walker said this is a threat to the Peninsula's future and asked if anyone had comments on this item. ~ Ron Goecke said he wasn't sure what action was being requested of the Commission. Walker asked if the Commissioners should review the information and come prepared to discuss this at the next meeting. MOTION AND VOTE: RON GOECKE MOVED TO BRING THE REM BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION. CHARLIE PIERCE SECONDED.

Chairman Walker asked for a motion for Fisherman's Paint Vacation and noted this would rescind the original action taken at the last meeting. MOTION: PHIL BRYSON MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF THE FISHERMAN'S POINT ROW VACATION REQUEST. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Chairman Walker asked far further comments on this issue. Bryson asked if this only affected lot 4 or the Breeden Knackstedt property, if it was a joint petition? Breeden said she was a joint signer on the petition. Bryson said the intent of his motion was both lot 4 and what's referred to as the Knackstedt remainder, Gv't Lot 7. Ron Goecke said he did not have a big problem with the vacation, the problem he had was people and the snowplow coming down that narrow street, where do they turna- round? in front of Victor Hett's house (answer from audience). He suggested that the city talk with Breeden about developing a twenty foot area to develop that turn, in case road conditions make it impossible to use the area in front of Hett's. Loretta Breeden said that all the lots at the end of the road are sold. There will be no more people moving in so traffic should not increase. Teresa Werner-Quads said she had originally voted no on this issue because she had gone down Barabara Drive and she fait it was a narrow road and it was hard to turn around there. She hadn't really understood how the neighbors felt about people turning around in there driveways. Breeden stated it had never been a problem.

Review of Commercial Zones -Spur Highway GDECKE IWALKER YES I YES Phil Bryson had reviewed a city map and said he had trouble addressing this issue because it should be addressed first as a change to the land use plan. He felt the property owners along the spur corridor should initiate the rezoning. He felt that the corridor was approaching more commercial status but there are still large residential areas that may resist commercial status. MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL REZONING THE SPUR HIGHWAY CORRIDOR FROM NORTH DOGWOOD TO SWIRES ROAD TO COMMERCIAL TO THE DEPTH OF ONE LOT DEEP. NO SECOND. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS a. AAA Taxi - 1385 Chisik Drive La Shot noted that AAA Taxi was staring some cars in a lot across from their permitted business. A copy of the letter which was sent to them was included in the packet and they had been given 30 days to correct the violation. There are a number of sites around the city where junk cars are a problem. La Shot explained that he was hold off notify property owners because a car crusher is expected to arrive in June and many of these people have already been contacted to have the cars removed and crushed. Charlie Pierce felt the city should pursue letters to junk car owners to be consistent in enforcement of the ordinance. La Shot said that staff would look into this issue.

The owner and surveyor are now creating four lots out of eight and vacating aright-of-way (ROW) between the new lots 6A & 5A.

DISCUSSION: Chairman Walker noted the memo regarding notification. Four property owners had been missed within the 300 foot perimeter required by code. He then asked the Commission if they wished to proceed with action on the item, or have staff repeat the public hearing notification? Walker felt Staff had made an adequate attempt to notify interested parties. Ron Goecke called for the question. Carl Glick asked if the four people that were missed were contacted? Loretta Harvey said that the local residents picked up a packet, the two property owners from Anchorage were not directly notified, due to time constraints. Walker noted that this application was consistent with existing developments in the area and thought it would be a good area to be zoned for commercial recreation activities. voTE= Bryson Gocelce Pierce Werner-Q~ade McComse~ Glib W~ker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES YES MOTION PASSED IINANIIHOIISLY. 7. NEW BIISINESS a. Corps of Engineers Permit - 22-910107 Kenai River -The Pillars Chairman Walker introduced the item and felt the COE was looking for a letter of support or non-objection from concerned agencies. Goecke said he had a problem supporting this project if it would jeopardize the other project the Commission had reviewed at a previous meeting. Planning & Zoning Commission April 27, 1994 Pags 3 MOTION: CARL GLICK MOVED TO SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT TO THE COE. THE LETTER SHOULD INCLUDE A STATEMENT THAT THIS NOT JEOPARDIZE THE PREVIOUS PROJECT. CHARLIE PIERCE SECONDED. Leo Oberts explained that the property was part of his homestead and he had sold it to the State for development of a park. In the next two years the State will develop two boat launching ramps, two docks and public restrooms. Phil Bryson said that the COE permit is for the docks and is not concerned with the land. He had the same concern as Goecke that the projects not jeopardize each other, however the projects are quite a ways apart on the river and would not directly impact each other. VOTE: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. KPB Notice of Proposed Land Classification Lot 4A & Lot 5A Shelikof SID -Ray Dudley, KPB Land Management Officer Ray Dudley, Land Management Officer for the KPB said under a new Land Management Ordinance Chapter 17.10 all Borough land must be classified before it can be dealt with. In order to classify land, it must be reviewed, the Planning Commission holds a public hearing and makes their recommendation to the Assembly. The two small lots 4A & 5A Block 1, Shelikof SID are owned by the School District and have been classified as Government and had been designated for houses to be built by school students. However, these houses will not be built due to budget cuts. The District does not plan to dispose of these at this time, but if properties are not needed they would retain the government classification. Carl Glick said the lots were too small to build government buildings and there is presently no access. He asked if there would be a problem in classifying the lots as residential since which would be more consistent with the City zoning designation? Planning & Zoning Commission April 27, 1994 Page 4 Dudley said he had no problem with classifying them as residential. He added that the Ordinance has two classi#ications which can be used residential and rural residential which is low density, out of the way areas. Kevin Walker said he owns land adjacent to the property and asked the Commission if he should abstain from this item? The Commission felt it was not a conflict since he would not benefit directly by the sale of these lots. MOTION: CARL GLICK MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE TWO SMALLER LOTS BE CLASSIFIED RESIDENTIAL AND NO OBJECTION TO THE OTHER LOTS AS RESIDENTIAL. PHIL BRYSON SECONDED. 7l+'~~I~~~'~L~]~F Teresa Werner-Quade asked Dudley, if this was a general classification of Borough lands? Dudley answered, "yes". She wondered if because it's classified residential doesn't necessarily mean a large development will happen there. If something was going to happen would interested partes be notified again? Dudley said that was correct. Phil Bryson said the Borough is required to classify these lands in order to include them in any kind of planning. it is not a zoning situation it is not even a land use situation. It is a very early stage in the Borough's planning for this area. Werner-Quade said she is concerned that the large parcel if close to the airport. She was concerned about another subdivision coming in so close to the airport run-up area. This could be a big problem to the residents of a large subdivision, especially in the summer when the large hauling planes are flying. Walker pointed out that the map in the Comprehensive Plan and the distance from the airport to be farther than it appears on the map provided by the Borough. Werner- Quade reiterated that she was concerned about the future, she had spoken to the Airport Manager and if the airport is expanded it would go in that direction. She did feel her questions had been answered about this matter, that it is just an initial step in the planning process. Pianning & Zoning Commission Aprii 27, 1994 Page 5 '~ VOTE: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES ABSTAIN MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. c. Leo Oberts Mr. Oberts presented a copy of a plat which had been drawn up previously and never finalized. He explained to the Commission that he is considering developing the subdivision near the area discussed under item 7a. the Pillars. He would probably sell the lots #or residences or condominiums and just wanted the Commission to know his plans which will be coming before them for approval in the future. 8. OLD BUSINESS a. Spruce Bark Beetle -Moose Pass Cooperative Project Chairman Walker noted this item had been carried forward from the previous packet to give the Commission time to review the project and make comments. MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED TO SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE STATE OF ALASKA URGING ACTION ON THE SPRUCE BARK BEETLE PROBLEM, INCLUDING IMMEDIATE LOGGING OF INFESTED HILLSIDES IN THE COOPER LANDING AREA. CHARLIE PIERCE SECONDED. DISCUSSION: The Commission compiled a list of the following suggestions: Extensive logging of infected areas, burning forest debris. Slash burning or chemically treating infected areas. Establishing multiple contracts which are easily understood by all involved parties.

Street Names -Black Gold Estates Chairman Walker noted the memo which was included in the packet regarding this property. When the names were reviewed at the Borough level there was a discrepancy discovered in the Borough Ordinance. The names had been changed to the correct designations and the Staff wished for the Commission to review the resolution again before it is passed to Council.

Several new staff may be added, two part- time at the Library and an Engineer Technician in Public Works. A 4% cost of living adjustment has also been considered. The Landscaping Siteplan Review which the Commission approved on the Doyle Car Wash was an issue of concern. It was discovered that the building, which is on airport lease land is located in the no-fly zone. The applicant has been apprised of the situation and notified that the FAA can request that the structure be removed within 90 Planning & Zoning Commission April 27, i 994 Page 7 ~~ days of notice if there are problems. The applicant is reviewing his plans. b. Borough Planning Phil Bryson reported that the Whisker's Replat as approved at the previous meeting was passed at the Borough level. The new plat Original Townsite of Kenai Whisker's Replat is a result of some of the concerns which were expressed at the Borough level. Bryson also noted that there is a nice addition to the Homer lagoon which has passed through the Coastal Zone Management Review process. Bryson asked to be excused due to another commitment. c. Administration Jack La Shot noted that the Commission had previously reviewed an Applicatian for Development in the TSH zone for Beluga RV Park. At the time the project was approved for an office, showers and washing facilities. The building which is presently under construction is approximately 54% larger than what the Commission approved. La Shot asked if the Commission wished to require that the Vozar's, owners of Beluga Point Lookout RV Park submit an updated Application for Development and the Commission hold a re-review of the development? Carl Glick said he felt the development should come back before the Commission since it was such a large change from the first plans that were submitted. MOTION AND VOTE: CARL GLICK MOVED THAT THE CITY REQUIRED THAT THE BELUGA RV PARK APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE TSH ZONE BE RE-REVIEWED BY THE COMMISSION. CHARLIE PIERCE SECONDED. Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker Left early YES YES YES ABSENT YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Charlie Pierce noted that he would not be able to attend the next meeting. Chairman Walker expressed concern about the road condition at the end of Mission and Main Street. The bluff has eroded dangerously close to the log barricade and he asked if the City should erect a new barricade or possibly close the road until the situation can be evaluated. Also Walker asked that the City review the problem of roller-bladers on city streets. La Shot said he would look at the problem and discuss options with Administration.
