ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARINGS 4-a. PZ01-11 An application for a Conditional Use Permit for Hotel [short-term recreational rentals for the property known as Lot I, Block 2, Anglers Acres Subdivision, Part 2 (1230 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska. Application ~ubraitted by Brian Lowe, Hi-Lo Charters, 1005 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska. MOTION: Commissioner Glick MOVED to approve PZO 1-11 and Commissioner Bryson SECONDED the motion. There was no public comment. Kebschull noted the permit was for short-term recreational rentals in Angler's Acres and the applicant made no mention of food service but should that be introduced in the future, then staff recommended the appropriate DEC requirements be met. Kebschull also noted, the applicant provided a plot plan showing DEC approval for the onsite water and sewer system. Kebschull pointed out the plot plan indicated afour-plex, but the applicant advised the structure would be a tri-plex. Kebschull added, the structures must be inspected by the Fire Marshall and meet fire code requirements for the proposed use and inspected every two years after the initial Fire Marshall inspection. Kebschull drew attention to the letter provided prior to the meeting where a Mr. Lee expressed concern about trespassing. Kebschull reported the applicant owns the property on the other side and trespassing has never been an issue. Commissioner Bryson requested a point of order and requested the public hearing be formally opened. Chairman Goecke opened public hearing. There was no public comment and the public hearing was closed. Goecke stated he did not think the city should involve itself with DEC requirements for water and sewer, as that is a DEC problem and not the city's. Kebschull explained, with conditional uses in high-density areas, the city reserves the right to require applicants meet DEC requirements as much focus had been placed on water contamination in those areas. Any documentation from DEC is kept in the file. MOTION TO AMEND: Commissioner Bryson MOVED to amend the motion to include staff recommendations and Commissioner Glick SECONDED the motion.

City Council -- Councilman Bannock reported on the City Council agenda included in the meeting packet. He noted the city's new sign code was passed with one minor addition. Bannock thanked the Commission for their excellent input. Bannock stated the Board of Adjustment had heard the appeal regarding the Michael Kent application and no decision had yet been made. However, as a result of that appeal, there is discussion about adding "lodge" and "guide service" to the land use table which would modify the definition for "hotel". After some discussion as to the conditional use permits for those types of uses, it was decided the item would be placed on the agenda far the next meeting so the full commission could discuss it in further detail.
