Resolution PZ 92-23: Shoreline Subdivision No. 2 La Shot reported that this was Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) land and that a vacation had previously been granted on this parcel. The City would be willing to waive the installation agreement on the new Right-of-Way, Dation Drive, but would like a note on the plat that if future resubdivision occurred, an installation agreement would be needed.

MOTION: Glick moved approval of Resolution PZ 92-25: Jettison Junction Preliminary Plat. Graveley asked Bryson to find out the length of the lease from the Borough Planning Commission when they reviewed this issue. Bryson said he would check, but that this type of activity would probably be subject to a short-term lease. VOTE: Bryson: Yes, Glick: Yes, Bannock: Yes, Graveley: Yes, Scott: Yes MOTION PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 5. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 92-24: Encroachment Permit - Tressler Graveley introduced the item and opened the Public Hearing. Roger Murphy, 1806 4th Ave, said they had received the notice about the encroachment and wondered what the activity was, were they building a sauna, as indicated by the sauna tubes? La Shot replied that the encroachment is for the existing building. The home is approximately 6 inches into the City's setback of 25 feet. The applicant is in the process of selling the home and KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1992 Page 3 doesn't want a clouded title. Murphy said he had no problems with this. Graveley asked if their were more persons present who wished to testify. Seeing none he closed the Public Hearing. MOTION AND VOTE: Bryson moved approval of Encroachment Permit for Tressler. Glick seconded. Bryson: Yes, Glick: Yes, Bannock: Yes, Graveley: Yes, Scott: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Lease Application - Will & Becky Jahrig Scott said she would be abstaining from the discussion and vote on this item since she felt this was a conflict of interest. She was ` a major share holder in Salamatof Seafoods, who at one time had leased the land from the City. MOTION: Bryson moved to recommend to Council approval of the Lease Application for Will and Becky Jahriq, Lot 5, Walkowski-Deland Subdivision. Glick seconded. La Shot reported that the applicant cannot afford to pay cash for this property at this time, under State law the City can't sell this piece on terms, which means the City must lease the property to Jahrigs. The applicant has been using this access for approximately 10 months and Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant suggests that the lease payments be retroactive. Bannock asked if the City had been receiving payment on this property from either Salamatof or Jahrig for the past ten months? If not, he felt that the comments of Kim Howard should be included in the motion. AMENDED MOTION: Bryson moved to amend motion to include comments "back dating the effective date of the lease to October 7, 1991." Glick concurred with amendment. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1992 Page 4 VOTE: Bryson: Yes, Glick: Yes, Bannock: Yes, Graveley: Yes, Scott: Abstain MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE. 8. OLD BUSINESS a. Portlock - Perpetual Garage Sale La Shot noted the report by the Building Official that the occupant was spoken to and appears to have removed all garage sale signs and cleaned up the area. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Smalley noted the agenda in the packet and said that Ron Goacke had spoken to Council regarding RPMs. LaShot said that Keith Kornelis, (Public Works Director) had spoken to Mellish, RPMs owner, and he was trying to clean up the area, but needed a little more time. Ordinance No. 1507-92: Amending KMC Sec. 14.15.110 Plan Adopted Street Naming failed by Council. The Vacation on South Ames Road/Lot 1, Caro Subdivision was vetoed. The City felt all river accesses should be retained. The grand opening for Vintage Pointe Manor will be September 6th, and coincide with the City picnic. b. Borough Planning Bryson reported on Agenda Items I & J, which were both requests to purchase Borough lands. These requests were denied. c. City Administration La Shot reported the City had received complaints regarding Irene's Lodge. The complaints were that several guide boats, tents, trailers and RVs were parked at the site. La Shot had driven by Irene's and not seen any tents, mobile homes or RVs, there were however, several guide boats on the lot. A memo in the packet recommended that Irene submit an application for a Conditional Use Permit for the guide service. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1992 Page 5 La shot had also investigated a complaint of RVs behind King's Inn. He had driven by King's Inn and there were no RV's on this site. He also reported that he had spoken to the firm that is doing the architectural work for K-Mart. The firm is intending to begin some ground work before winter. ,~ La Shot also reported that Bill Brighton and Howard Hackney were in the hospital. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 11. INFORMATION ITEMS 1. .Western Planner Article - Stan Steadman 2. Original Letter to RPMs 3. Memo to Cary Graves - Foster CUP 4. Council Action - Caro S/D Vacation 5. City Council Agenda 6. KPB Planning Commission Agenda 12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & OUESTION3 1, Scott requested that get well cards be sent to Brighton and Hackney from the Commission. Bannock asked what the status was on the Foster Brother's issue? La Shot said that Hackney had been investigating this issue, but had gone to the hospital before giving a complete report to Staff. He also noted the letter from Foster, which had been added to the packet information. Scott mentioned the memo regarding the Quandt property, she had spoken to the City Manager about this property and he had told her there was a problem with this because it was State leased land. Scott said she was glad to see the memo about this if it is not a permitted activity it should be addressed. The number of cars are increasing and there is no barrier. It looks like the City Attorney made some recommendations on June 4th, but this is August, what has happened since the original memo? Loretta Harvey reported that she had passed that information on to the City Manager and asked if P&Z should make a recommendation to Council. The Planning Staff have not heard anything back from Administration. Smalley said that the City has tried to resolve this matter before but nothing was ever accomplished. When he had talked to Bill in June, but he as also told it was State leased land and the City had KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1992 Page 6 no jurisdiction. Scott said she felt that someone needs to pick up the phone and call the State and determine whether or not the State Lease requires the lessor to conduct their occupancy of the property by the codes of the Municipality in which that property is. This has sat for two months and it's just like the RPMs thing. It's too the point that there may need to be established a Citizen's Action Committee if we can't take care of these kinds of problems. The City Council is responsible to see these kinds of things get taken care of, if there is a basis for complaint, which, in this case there is. Smalley asked if that was a motion to get this resolved? Scott said a motion was not needed, but it should probably be directed to City Council, since they are the ones who hire the Administration. In a complaint driven system there has too be a way to take care of these issues. Glick said that there had been a drive at one time to clean up this area. He said the group working on this was told there was nothing the City could do. Glick was glad to see that the City Attorney felt there was something that could be done to get the occupants to clean up this area, or erect a site obscuring barrier. Graveley reported that Bernard Landeis, had resigned from the Commission, because he was being transferred to Anchorage. Also, Saylor Rehm has missed numerous meetings and by the KMC he should probably be replaced. Graveley instructed Harvey to send a letter to Rehm to find out if he wished to remain on P & Z. Scott reported on the Townsite Historic Task Force Meeting. Jim Arness was elected chairman. The group had scheduled a tour of Old Towne for August 29th, they will be meeting at the Senior Center at 2:00 p.m. The next Task Force meeting will be September 3rd, 7:00 p.m., City Council Chambers. Scott invited P & Z members to attend. Smalley added that Councilwoman Monfor and Mayor Williams would take turns representing Council at those meetings. Graveley requested that information on these meetings be included in P & Z packets. '~ KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 12, 1992 Page 7 13.
