and Congregate Housing Facility. The area is zoned General Commercial and this is
a principal use in this zone. The lease would be for 99 years, but once the
development was completed the applicant can purchase the property. Howard noted
the applicant was in the audience to answer questions.
-~--- - - Bill-Toppa asked how many people the facility would employ?
Leo Grasso said there would be three employees. The maintenance would be
handled by Grasso's construction firm. This will be a private enterprise.
Pat Porter thought this would be a wonderful project for the City.
She said it fills a void that is very much needed in the community. The Council on
Aging had reviewed the project, and were in support of the location of the facility.
Phil Bryson asked if a landscaping/site plan will come before the commission before
the building permit is issued.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Resolution PZ 95-1: Conditional Use Permit for Bed & Breakfast
Steve & Donna Riddle - BI 1, Lot 29, Angler's Acres T T
MOTION: V
Ron Goecke Moved Approval of Resolution PZ 95-1: Amendment to Conditional
Use Permit, for a Bed & Breakfast, Steve and Donna Riddle. Phil Bryson N
SECONDED.
Jack La Shot reported this was an established charter business on Angler Drive. The
original conditional use permit was for an RV Park and Guide Service. There was
considerable objection by the public for the RV Park portion of the permit. The
application was changed to include only the guide service and approved by Council.
Now the applicants wish to add a Bed & Breakfast to the existing permit. T~
Chairman Walker opened the meeting up to public comment by asking if there were r
persons present who wished to address this item.
PUBLIC HEARING: r
Delores (Dodi) Coligan, Box 4300 Soldotna, said she was representing Riddles since
they were out of state. The applicants are just adding two beds to what is already R
there. There are many lodges, bed and breakfasts, etc. on Angler's Drive.
Teresa Werner-Quade read the following statement to the Commission: The staff
report states that Riddle's B&B operation is consistent with existing uses; however,
some of the same concerns voiced in '89 recur. Commissioner O'Reilly asked, "Who
checks to see if he (Riddle) has a DEC permit?" Answer: the Building Inspector. `,
Evidently, this has changed given that 5 out of 7 B&B's on Angier Drive have not v
applied for DEC permits and the city claims it is not their job to check this. DEC
claims, it is .. .
In reviewing procedure the '92 P&Z Comprehensive Plan states, " A clear, well written
code is important not only for administrative simplicity, but also to stand any appeals
or legal challenges. Although most Alaska communities have thus far avoided such
challenges, many other U.S. towns and cities have been sued by developers and
citizens for vague and arbitrary decisions. "The City should: d. Review the
Conditional Use Section of the code (14.20.150) to ensure that rigorous standards are
applied for approval of exceptional uses, and to create new requirements for
implementation of the River and Tributary Site Plan Review Ordinance."
Planning & Zoning Commission
January 11,1995
Page 5
Title 14.20.150 Conditional Uses outlines in [ii] "Such uses must be in harmony with
the intent of the zone." Given that this subdivision is zoned RR and distinguished on
the comp plan map as a 2A low density without city sewer, this is not in harmony with
the intent of the zone. The KPB has no sanitarian. The city's P&Z department is the
only insurance proper sanitation methods are being required along the river banks
where no city sewer is available. Prior to making arbitrary decisions, let us insure
that rigorous standards are applied to reduce liability for the City. Low lying land
mismanagement and pollution of the river estuary is our responsibility.
Ron Goecke said he appreciated the information that Werner-Quade had brow ht jv
forward, but did not feel it Is the City's obligation to monitor DEC regulations. g
Phil Bryson noted the original as-built seemed to indicate the applicant shared a water A
system with a neighbor. If a well is used for the public it must meet certain DEC
standards. He felt it was appropriate to make sure the applicant had the proper DEC
permits for the public's safety.
AMENDED MOTION:
Phil Bryson Moved to Amend the original motion by adding: Verification of a P
___, valid wastewater discharge permit be submitted to the city before the conditional
use permit is issued. Teresa Werner-Quade SECONDED.
AMENDED MOTION VOTE:
Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Vacancy Glick Walker
YES NO YES YES Vacancy YES YES
MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE.
MAIN MOTION VOTE:
Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Vacancy Glick Walker
YES YES YES YES Vacancy YES YES
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Walker noted there were many developments such as this on Angler Drive
he felt that area might be more suited for a Recreation zoning designation.

'b. Resolution PZ 9456: Rezoning Thompson Park (continuation)
Steve Rickman, 135 Fern St., said he was opposed to rezoning to Suburban
Residential (RS), he would prefer the zone be kept to a Rural Residential 1 (RR-1)
designation, which would discourage multi-family units. Rickman said he lived off of U
Dogwood and during the recent paving project the traffic was very bad. He expressed
concern that the traffic would increase if multi-family units were allowed in Thompson
Park. Also he felt the value of the land would remain higher if the zone was more ~T
restrictive. lv
Chairman Walker noted that Rickman's address was outside of the area proposed for
rezoning. Walker still welcomed comments from Rickman, but just wanted to clarify
that his property would not be rezoned. A
Rickman still wished to express concerns about smaller lots being allowed in the area.
The houses would be too close together in the RS zone. Also, since the area is P
between Soldotna and Kenai, there seems to be less police protection. Many
residents have had problems with items being stolen, and vandalism.
Rickman. presented a letter from Jaemi Jose which read: "We just moved into P
Thompson Park Subdivision in November. The thing that impresses us the most is
how quiet it is. I'm afraid aMulti-family unit would ruin our neighborhood. Therefore,
my husband and I are definitely against any such thing."
Chairman Walker asked if there were any questions for Mr. Rickman. There were
none.. Walker then asked for further public comment. Seeing and hearing none he
reminded the Commission this item will be heard once more, at the next P&Z meeting, o
at which time a decision will be made on the item.
Jack La Shot noted the letter from Richard and Gayle Ross that was included in he
packet. The Ross's stated they would prefer the RS-1 designation for the area. V
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Goals & Objectives - 1995 E
Teresa Werner-Quade felt review of the Comprehensive Plan, placing a priority on
meeting the criteria on page 72 of the Kenai Comprehensive Plan which states:
ensure rigorous standards are applied for approval of exceptional uses and to create
new requirements for implementation of the River and Tributary Site Plan Review
Ordinance, should be a priority.
Planning & Zoning Commission
January 11, 1995
Page 7
Ron Goecke felt review of the sign ordinance from the list of G&Os for 1994 be
carried forward.
Chairman Walker said he had a short list of items for the Commission's to think about.
In addition to review of the Comp Plan, he wished to add: 2) the City endeavor to U
ensure regulations be met on all conditional use permits; 3) review sign ordinances;
4) participation development of CIP list; 5) continue to work with Council on the
Kenai River review project. Walker asked if there were any additions or subtractions? 1~T
Councilman Smalley said he agreed that regulations on cups needed to be addressed. jv
Recent discussions have indicated that the city has stringent guidelines dealing with
development along the Kenai River. He felt developing a review process and perhaps
putting some "stringent° into the Code may need to be reviewed. There has been A
discussion that the Borough may place a moratorium along the river, but the city
would not be in favor of this.
Chairman Walker felt the Commission would need to work closely with Council on this r
issue.
Councilman Smalley asked if the Administration could make some suggestions to the P
~.::....___..._ Council, _(ie)_setbacks, distances from septic lines, distances from fuel tanks, etc.
La Shot said Staff could make some suggestions. La Shot suggested that the
numbers be removed from the list so they would have equal priority.
Goals & Objectives for 1995: Review of Comprehensive Plan; Insure all regulations
are met on Conditional Use Permits; Review the Sign Ordinance; Participate in Capital O
Improvement Projects list; and work with Council on Kenai River Review Project.
MOTION AND VOTE:
Ron Goecke MOVED TO ADOPT the Goals and Objectives as presented and v
asked for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Carl Glick SECONDED. GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

10. REPORTS
a. City Council ~J
Councilman Smalley noted there had been two Council meetings since the last P&Z
meeting. December 21: Some people spoke about Resolution 94-83 requested N
property within the City of Kenai not be included in the Kenai Overlay District. The
request was to postpone or delay the Council's vote on this ordinance. The City's
position was that it was the City's responsibility to maintain control over the River
within the Cit
limits

was asked to attach the Resolution to the Borough
Ordinance which would delay the Ordinance. Council discussed an addition of a
solarium/greenhouse to the Senior Center. Historic District Board requested that an
ad-hoc member from P&Z be placed on the Board. Smalley asked if the Commission
wish
d t P
e
o appoint an ad-hoc member to the Historic District Board?
January 4th -There is a vacancy on the P&Z Commission. Council asked the City
Clerk to notify other commission members to see if they wanted to transfer to the P&Z
P
__-..-_--..: _-- m - iSSin~~ Tim Navarre spoke in regards to the Kenai Transfer Site. Council was ------~
concerned the hours of operation would not be appropriate during the week. Navarre
agreed to take Council's recommendations for hours of operation back to the Borough
for discussion. Health and Social Services have asked to renew their lease for the T~
R
Health Center in City Hall. The lease was renewed but the city is asking the state to
set aside funds to building the Public Health Nurses make space available in the old
courthouse.
Chairman Walker asked if there was discussion on the money which was already
appropriated for a public health facility? Hal Smalley said no.
Smalley noted the CIP list which was included in the packet. Item b. was a V
combination of money of roll-over grants which the city needs to reapply for. Jack La
Shot said that money was left over from the Thompson Park project and the city must
get permission to reappropriate this money. The Animal Control Shelter is still on the E
list, the City believes this is a project that needs to be completed. The City is
discussing charging ambulance fees. The City is in need of a new ambulance which
would cost about $125,000. The Council instructed the City Manager to apply for a
matching grant to obtain this ambulance. D
Chairman Walker asked for a brief intermission at 8:20.

The meeting reconvened at 8:30.
b. Borough Planning
Phil Bryson reported on agenda items including: Ordinance 94-56 which establishes U
procedures for issuance of construction of utilities by utility companies in ROWs. This
has gone through several work sessions. Ordinance 94-57 proposes to establish
regulations in established ROWs within the Borough. If people are interest in public
access to the river, etc. they should keep apprised of this ordinance. It appears it N
would limit public access to the river.
Ron Goecke asked if this meant all ROW's within the Borough. Bryson said it was
dedicated ROWs on plats, outside of incorporated cities. Goecke said he wondered A
how, if it's across State lands, how the Borough can control this. Bryson said he did
not feel. they could.
c. Administration
P
Jack La Shot noted the memo that had been handed out before the meeting. He had
spoken to Karen Olsen of K&O Towing earlier in the day. Her company had run out P
.____ _ _of:money, .but are working to obtain funding to continue the project. He asked the
Commission if they had any suggestions about how to handle people who have been
notified about disposing of junk vehicles, who have been granted an extension until
the car crusher notifies them. There were no suggestions.

13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Chairman Walker said he was wanting the Commission members to take an active
role in accomplishing the Goats & Objectives. He asked Teresa Werner-Quade to
bring forth ideas on how to review the Comprehensive Plan. Werner-Quade agreed to P
this.
Walker asked the whole Commission to endeavor to ensure that Conditional Use
Permits are adhered to. Walker asked Ron Goecke to work on review of the Sign R
Ordinance. Bill Toppa will serve on the Historic District Board. The entire
Commission should participate in the CIP list. Walker asked Phil Bryson, Carl Glick to
work with himself and Council very closely on the Kenai River Review. Commissioners O
concurred with these assignments. Walker asked the Commission to bring forth any
additional ideas they might have.
Councilman Smalley would suggest to Council that any time the City deals with the V
Kenai River Ordinance the Commission be notified, or at least the three members who
have been identified.
Teresa Werner-Quade asked if atl Commissioners had a copy of the Comprehensive E
Plan. Bill Toppa did not, but Loretta Harvey said she would get him a copy.
Phil Bryson wished to clarify a motion he made earlier. He did not view his request
for verification of a wastewater permit as approval of the CUP, he felt it was just a
piece of xerox they need to provide the city with. DEC has the mandate to protect
State waters both their use and contamination. Bryson felt for the State to play the
game of one agency against another is reprehensible.

c. Resolution PZ 94-56: Rezoning -Portions of Thompson Park
Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the Commission's wishes.
MOTION:
RON GOECKE MOVED APPROVAL OF PZ 9456. BILL TOPPA SECONDED.
Jack La Shot, reported that the proposed rezone is to Suburban Residential (RS)
which would allow smaller lots. It has been common practice once water and sewer
are installed to an area to give the residents a chance to rezone to RS, which would
allow for smaller lots within the subdivision. The Commission could also consider
other forms of the Residential zones, such as RS-1 or RS-2. The other option is not
to rezone.
Chairman Walker asked if there were persons who wished to speak to the item?
Steve DeHart, PO Box 528, Soldotna said he was concerned about how the rezoning
would effect property taxes, and what benefits the smaller lots would be? What
restrictions would be put on the lots he owns?
Chairman Walker said one of the reasons for the rezone is because most of the lots in
Thompson Park are non-conforming for RR zone (40,000 sfm). The rezone will bring
the smaller lots into conformance with RS zoning (7,200 sfm), making it easier to sell
property.
Jack La Shot did not think the taxes would increase as a result of a zoning change,
unless someone resubdivided to create more lots.
Larry Lowenstein, 120 Nevada, expressed concerns that multi-family lots would be
allowed on the smaller lots in Thompson Park. He did not want the added traffic and
congestion such developments bring into a neighborhood and was against the zoning
change at this time. He was not opposed to duplex but wouldn't want anything larger
in the zone.
Phil Bryson noted the Land Use Table which noted in RR & RS you could build
3-4 family dwellings and anything above that would require a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). In RS-1 or RS-2 you can build up to a 2 family dwelling and anything over
that would require a CUP.

November 9, 1994

Larry Lowenstein felt a duplex is appropriate in the zone and there are presently
several there. He also expressed surprise that very few people had shown up for the
public hearing and asked to Commission to hold off on the decision until the residents
can get more information on the zoning change.
Steve De Hart felt the RS-1 designation might be more appropriate which would make
it more difficult to go up from a duplex to amulti-family complex.
Chairman Walker asked if there was anyone else wishing to testify. Seeing and
hearing none he brought it back to the Commission.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Phil Bryson stated RS-1 and RS-2 designations were created for the purpose of letting
people have small or medium size lots without being overwhelmed by multi-family
complexes. These zoning designations may be more appropriate in the area. He
agreed with Mr. Lowenstein that there is no reason to rush this rezone. He was
surprised more people had not shown up to address this item, and said he would
support a motion to postpone action on this item.
Jack La Shot said it might be appropriate to continue the public hearing to another
date and include more information on this item.
MOTION TO POSTPONE:
PHIL BRYSON MOVED TO POSTPONE ACTION ON THE REZONE AND CONTINUE
THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS THROUGH DECEMBER AND TO THE SECOND
MEETING IN JANUARY. RON GOECKE SECONDED.
Chairman Walker noted this was anon-debatable motion and called for a vote.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Resolution PZ 5456: Rezoning Thompson Park (continuation)
Chairman Walker asked if there were people present who wished to present testimony
on this item.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Ron Broderson, a property owner in Thompson Park said he had missed the first
hearing and wished to comment. He said he understood that the rezone to Suburban
Residential (RS) from Rural Residential (RR} would mean lots could be smaller and
more development could be brought into the area. The reason his family bought a
house in Thompson Park was because it was a single family neighborhood. He was
concerned that the new zoning would open up the neighborhood to multi-family
complexes and he did not feel anyone would benefit from this. He also felt there
would be increased traffic problems and an increase in road maintenance costs to the
City. He wished to retain the single-family atmosphere of Thompson Park and not
allow anything above a duplex into the area.
__ Chairman Walker asked if there were other persons who wished to address this item.
Seeing and hearing none he closed the public hearing. Walker noted that the public
hearings will be continued through the second meeting in January.

a. City Council
Councilman Smalley reported on agenda items including
Snow Removal- Council had decided that the berms left by the snowplow were a city
problem and needed to be addressed. After a lengthy discussion it was decided that
three blades be purchased for the present plows. The blades may increase the time it
takes to plow the streets, but hopefully will solve the berm problem because the blade
can be dropped to push the snow beyond the driveways.

'b. Resolution PZ 9456:, Rezoning Thompson Park (continuation)
Steve Rickman, 135 Fern St., said he was opposed to rezoning to Suburban
Residential (RS), he would prefer the zone be kept to a Rural Residential 1 (RR-1)
designation, which would discourage multi-family units. Rickman said he lived off of U
Dogwood and during the recent paving project the traffic was very bad. He expressed
concern that the traffic would increase if multi-family units were allowed in Thompson
Park. Also he felt the value of the land would remain higher if the zone was more ~T
restrictive. 1 V
Chairman Walker noted that Rickman's address was outside of the area proposed for
rezoning. Walker still welcomed comments from Rickman, but just wanted to clarify
that his property would not be rezoned. A
Rickman still wished to express concerns about smaller lots being allowed in the area.
The houses would be too close together in the RS zone. Also, since the area is P
between Soldotna and Kenai, there seems to be less police protection. Many
residents have had problems with items being stolen, and vandalism.
Rickman presented a letter from Jaemi Jose which read: "We just moved into P
Thompson Park Subdivision in November. The thing that impresses us the most is
how quiet it is. I'm afraid aMulti-family unit would ruin our neighborhood. Therefore,
my husband and I are definitely against any such thing." R
Chairman Walker asked if there were any questions for Mr. Rickman. There were
none. Walker then asked for further public comment. Seeing and hearing none he
reminded the Commission this item will be heard once more, at the next P&Z meeting, 0
at which time a decision will be made on the item.
Jack La Shot noted the letter from Richard and Gayle Ross that was included in he
packet. The Ross's stated they would prefer the RS-1 designation for the area. V

Teresa Werner-Quade felt review of the Comprehensive Plan, placing a priority on
meeting the criteria on page 72 of the Kenai Comprehensive Plan which states:
ensure rigorous standards are applied for approval of exceptional uses and to create
new requirements for implementation of the River and Tributary Site Plan Review
Ordinance, should be a priority.

Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
Richard Ross
Gayle Ross
145 Nevada Pl
Kenai, Alaska
996].1
When Gayle and I purchased our present residence in 1975 it was to a
large extent because of the lo~ ize and the size of the surrounding
lots. With the exception of a very few duplexes in the neighborhood,
all of the developed properties have single family residences.
We would very much like the rezoning to continue the same
property size and utilization. The information provided by the City
of Kenai Planning Department indicates that the RS-1 designation would
more closely fit this criteria than any other. We would request that
the subdivision be rezoned to RS-1.
Thankyou for your consideration of these remarks in your ~'ecision
making.
Sincerely,
~ ~ /~,~

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepare By:LH/JL/RS
Date: October 31, 1994 Res: PZ 9457
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo, Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611-7794
Requested Action: Rezone Portions of Thompson Park
Legal Description:. Portions of Thompson No. 1 & 2, and Sunset Rim #1 all within
the NE ~/o Sec 1, T5N, R 11 W, S.M. and within the City of
Kenai
Existing Zoning:
Current Land Use:
Rural Residential
Low Density Residential
ANALYSIS
It has been normal policy within the city to initiate a rezoning from RR(Rural Residential)
to RS (Suburban Residential) when municipal sewer and water service becomes
available. This service is now available within Thompson Park. The zoning change
would allow property owners to subdivide to smaller lots (7200 s.f. minimum) if they
desire. Other zoning designations may be considered (RS-1 and RS-2) which are more
restrictive as far as multi-family use and/or lot size.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend approval considering input from the residents of Thompson Park.
