City Council -- Council Member Bookey referred to the action agenda added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. He noted, the helmet ordinance was amended and passed. 10-b. Borough -- Commissioner Bryson reported the Borough Planning Commission met on August 9 and noted the meeting agenda was included in the packet. He noted there were two issues specific to City of Kenai; a time extension request for Kay Lynn Subdivision and plat review of Wild Rose Subdivision on Beaver Loop. He added, the waiver request to the Plat Committee related to lot-to-depth ratio and applied to this plat and another. Bryson stated the Wild Rose request was approved. 10-c. Administration -- City Planner Kebschull reported the following: • She received an earlier message from Commissioner Hammelman who stated he would not be able to attend the meeting sorry he missed the last meeting. He also passed along he was in favor of the RV issues discussed and tabled at the July 14 meeting. Kebschull added, Administration is still reviewing and deciding what information can be provided related to modular homes. • Kay Lynn Subdivision is one of the last subdivisions issued a building permit based on a preliminary plat. The owner of the subdivision has been notified they are in violation of the zoning code and they are working with their engineer to get that issue resolved. (She noted, upon the opinion of the City Attorney, the city no longer issues building permits based on preliminary plats because individuals will acquire the building permit and then not file the plat, resulting in an illegal structure.) • The City Attorney believes the new owner of the One-Stop at Thompson Park is subject to the original landscaping requirements, however because the work had already taken place, it was felt it is not appropriate to hold the issue to a higher standard than current code requirements and to consider it a new structure. PLANNING 8v ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 11, 2004 PAGE 2 Kebschull added, she did notify the owner no new construction or landscaping, clearing, etc. they would be required to review and meet their original landscaping plan. The property owner behind the One Stop is also aware of the issue. • She traveled to Anchorage with the Airport Manager to meet with FAA and Dowl Engineers, and negotiated for the second phase of the Airport Supplemental Plan. Council will receive a copy of the Plan in the near future. • Received an email from the City Attorney indicating council has requested the Commission to consider development of a new mixed-use zone with specific uses to allow limited commercial (professional offices and businesses). Bookey noted, the request came through discussions related to the development of Lawton Acres and the issue would come to the Commission for its input. Kebschull noted, the new Comprehensive Plan discusses a neighborhood commercial zone which would be used in developing a city light commercial zone. ITEM l I: PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED -- None.
