There were no public comments and the public hearing was closed. Kebschull noted staff had nothing additional but drew attention to the letter that was provided prior to the meeting. Commissioner Bryson indicated he liked the proposal but had some concern with Item 6, which referred to fencing of the work area if excavation goes below the water table and the potential hazard to public safety if a fence was not provided. Kebschull explained, the code calls for fencing when required. Discussion took place on other pits that are below the water table and the lack of fencing. Councilman Bannock indicated the likeliness of an accident would be slim and that was the reason why the code didn't make fencing a requirement.

Discussion -- Kenai Comprehensive Plan -Draft Chapter 1 Discussed at Item 6.a. 7-b. Discussion -- Proposed Education Zone/ Schedule Public Hearing Discussion took place on some items of the zoning table that were questioned by Commissioner Bryson. Bryson asked why dormitories and boarding houses were combined and Kebschull indicated they always had been but a footnote could be added to include boarding houses, as long as they were an educational facility. Councilman Bannock asked if a map would be made available for the new educational zone in order to distinguish the exact locations. A lengthy discussion took place on the various locations of schools and how they would be affected. Kebschull noted the process would be done in two steps; first to create the zone and then rezone. Goecke expressed concern of rezoning schools that are on Kenai Peninsula Borough property and Bryson expressed concern about rezoning a school when there is no benefit to doing so. Nord reminded the Commission the reason for the zone was to make dealing with same issues easier for the Commission and used the sign proposal for the Challenger Center as an example. Kebschull stated the education zone was developed at the request of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Kebschull added, all schools should operate under a Conditional Use Permit. However, Sears Elementary never applied so if they ever want to do any exterior additions or renovations, a building permit could not be obtained. MOTION: Commissioner Nord MOVED to schedule the proposed education zone for public hearing and Commissioner Glick SECONDED the motion.
