Goecke SECONDED. ~ La Shot explained that the new property boundaries would eliminate an existing encroachment. The home was originally one story, but the owner added another story which put the house into the 15-foot setback required in the Suburban Residential (RS) zone. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Minutes - January 27, 1993 Page 3 Bryson said he felt that the home occupation should be "wholly enclosed" within the principal building on the lot. The principal building would be the home. ROLL CALL VOTE: Bannock: Yes, Bryson: No, Glick: Yes, Goecke: Yes, Hanson: Abstain, Scott: Yes PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE. ONE ABSTENTION. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Townsite Historic Task Force Review The Commissioners went through the Draft Ordinance: Historic Board: Bryson said he would be opposed to this Board to regulate that area. There is also no requirement for City residency. It would not be appropriate for non-residents to set City policies for such a sensitive area. Goecke explained that this would be a Board. City guidelines do not require that a Board member be a City resident. As I remember if there is someone wanting to develop in the TSH zone they have to submit` a document to this body, P&Z than would turn this to the TSH Board for their recommendations, than it would come back to the P&Z. This would create an additional step in approval of all development in TSH. Bannock said he felt that section B. and C. were not appropriate since it had never been clearly decided whether or not a Board was vital for sites to be considered as historic. Smalley said he felt that Ms. Bittner had stated that there be a Board or Panel/Commission that works in that capacity. The language did not state you had to have a specific body to deal with the historic area. Scott asked the Commission if they had reached a consensus as to whether or not the Board should be made up of residents. Bryson said he had trouble with non-residents making policies for the City of Kenai. He also noted that one of the main commercial activities in the TSH zone were apartments and under the new ordinance multi-family was not allowed. Hanson felt that the intent of the Task Force was that this body would have no power but be advisory only. Bannock said he would probably like the Board better if members were City residents. All meetings are open to the public so anyone can come and testify regarding historic sites. If b and c need to be in the ordinance than they should include resident criteria. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Minutes - January 27, 1993 Page 5 I Bannock had a problem with (a) Metal Buildings. He recalled Mr. Tormdle's attempt to put up such a building but he was denied. He also expressed concerns regarding (d) trailers, (already not allowed under KMC 24.22.40); (j) commercial horseback riding, (this is going overboard on what an ordinance should address.) Bryson comment on (1) just for sake of scale, Bailey building is 5,000 feet, so anything larger than that would be prohibited. The only viable business in Old Town are apartment rentals. The prohibition of apartments would create quite an impact on that area. Glick said he felt apartment buildings should be allowed as long as they conformed to the historic nature of the district. Scott summarized for-the Commission: Problem with sections (c), (j) and (1). These sections need clarification and work. The primary concern is the rebuilding of prohibited non-conforming use structures under 4. Proposed Boundaries La Shot said that the Commission should decide what the area } outside the proposed TSH zone should be zoned? Bannock mentioned that Bookey had requested that his RV park be included in one zoning designation. Glick said this item should probably be addressed separate from this zone change. Bryson noted that the Russian Cemetery was included in the proposed zone but cemeteries were not included in the Land Use Table. Goecke said the Task Force felt the cemetery had "grandfather rights" but no new cemeteries will be allowed. Bryson felt cemeteries should be allowed as a Conditional Use, rather then non-conforming. Bryson also thought that parking should be allowed on private lots, this is listed as a prohibited use under the new ordinance. b. Kenaitze Indian Tribe Twelve Month Planning Project La Shot reported that he had spoken to Robert Blankenship regarding this project. Blankenship was seeking support from the City for this project. La Shot had told Blankenship that no staff support could be offered, but the Planning and Zoning Commission might be willing to review the project as it progressed. Blankenship also asked if the City would draft a letter of support for this project. Scott said she could see the value of such a project from an economic development/tourism aspect. She hoped the Commission would be willing to provide assistance by reviewing the plan. She thought the letter was needed to support a grant proposal bid. • KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Minutes - January 27, 1993 Page 7 12. INFORMATION ITEMS a.
