Also present: Councilman Hal Smalley, Jack La Shot, City Engineer, Loretta Harvey Administrative Assistant, Jim Bookey, Don Estes, Jimmie & Myrna Davidson, Susan Anderson, Dennis Shaeffer Commissioner Bryson was asked to Chair the meeting since Chairman Graveley was absent and Vice-Chairman Glick was late. 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Bryson asked that Items 8 a. and b. be moved to the Public Hearing portion of the agenda. Bannock moved approval of agenda as amended. Landeis seconded. Passed unanimously. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - April 22, 1992 Bannock moved approval of minutes as presented. Rehm seconded. Passed unanimously. 4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 92-7: Conditional Use Permit - Bed & Breakfast - Leila R. Davidson La Shot, reported that this was presently a vacant piece of property between the Spur Highway and 3 W Subdivision. Bryson explained that the first Public Hearing Notice which appeared in the Clarion contained an incorrect legal description of this property. The second notice was corrected and information mailed to interested parties and surrounding property owners was correct. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION April 22, 1992 Page 3 ~ Scott asked how many people would be allowed to stay in the B&B? Davidson said that two bedrooms would be used which would accommodate from two to four people. VOTE: Bannock - Yes Glick - (Did not vote on this item - arrived late) Landeis - Yes SCOtt - Y@3 Bryson -Yes Rehm - Yes Motion passed unanimously. b. Resolution PZ 92-8: Conditional Use Permit - Cabin Rental Leila R. Davidson Bryson opened the meeting to Public Hearing on this item. Dennis Schaeffer, 545 Wortham, expressed concern over increased use of traffic on Ross Road if the cabin access is there. He said he was concerned over the size of the cabins, amount of people utilizing the cabins and length of stay for rentals. Schaeffer 1 also asked how the city notified residents since he lived in 3W S/D and was not notified. Loretta Harvey said that the Kenai Municipal Code requires a Public Hearing notice to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the lot lines. The first set of lots in 3W are approximately 310 to 330 feet so by code no one else needed to be notified. Bannock questioned whether the cabins actually required a CUP. There had been some question over this activity needing a permit in the past and the Land Use Table did not really address cabin rentals in the Rural Residential Zone. Scott said that several other cabin rentals had been started in the area and these had been approved under CUP. She thought perhaps the City Attorney could interpret the Code to clarify this issue. Bannock felt that perhaps the cabin rentals would qualify as a residence in the RR Zone. Other CUP for cabin rentals had been tied to other activities. Bryson said that the Commission could continue the Public Hearing until the next meeting if they needed more information. Susan Anderson expressed concern over what the cabins would look ~ like and also if the development can turn into other things, such as a guide service or RV Park without further notifying the City. Bryson said the cabins would be governed by the same criteria as other buildings within the City. - KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION April 22, 1992 Page 5 MOTION: Bannock moved to grant variance to height requirements to roof sign. Landeis seconded. Scott asked if the variance required a public hearing she felt that the motion should be modified to allow for this since the public process requires that both sides be heard on an issue. If there is an objection from the public regarding this sign the Commission needs to hear it. So noted. VOTE: Bannock - Yes Glick - (Did not vote on this item - arrived late) Landeis - Yes SCOtt - y@g Bryson -Yes Rehm - Yes Motion passed unanimously. b. Development in TSH Zone - Bookey (hand carried) Bookey said he had began tearing down his old restaurant and realized that three walls were still structurally sound. Bookey would like to use these three walls and add a new front to turn the building into a gift shop. He said since he first inquired about this development and was told he needed to come before the Commission he had learned that the area was possibly going to be rezoned and he may not need to go through P&Z. He does not plan to start construction until after the proposed rezone. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Smalley reported on agenda items. The last meeting was Student Council night and since it took two students to be the police chief, the Student Council recommend a 150% pay increase for the Chief. Smalley said he would like to see students possibly attend a P&Z meeting as part of learning about the government process. The Council approved several construction site change directives. Some alterations of building plans were thought to be a problem with design. But in order to not hold up the construction the City would pay for alterations and try to be reimbursed for these funds. The Council voted to fund a bucket truck. The truck did not need to go to bid because it was a sole source. The truck will save the City approximately $2,000 a year in cost of hanging banners, which were previously done on contract with HEA. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION April 22, 1992 Page 7 ~ 13.
