The FAA plans to add a commercial antennae next to their existing building. The pad is smaller than the available area so there will be a ring of trees left around the site. The development will not require additional parking since it is tied in with the AFSS building. Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission February 8, 1994 Page 1 Bryson asked if a site plan was currently on record with the city for the AFSS j building? Also if there will be top soil retained or will the area be stripped? La Shot responded that the city has a site plan on record and just the area of the pad will be cleared and stripped.

Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission February 8, 1994 Page 2 Kathleen Foster, Freedom Realty, testified that there was already one B&B in that area and she felt this house would be a perfect location since it had good river frontage.

CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission February 8, 1994 Page 3 9. REPORTS a. City Council Smalley reported on Council Agenda Items. He also reported that a Goal setting work session had been held and Chairman Walker had been present. The Council and department heads had evaluated the City Manager and agreed they were very satisfied with his performance so far. Some of the goals set during the work session were to improve the quality of city services through communication and responsible management. Some specific goals had been mentioned for each department and Planning and Zoning would receive some Council suggested goals for the future. Many of the goals and objectives submitted would be addressed at Budget time. One of the Fire Department goals was for a new tanker truck. The one they have presently is very old and is dangerous to drive and operate. Goecke expressed concern because the Fire Department just purchased a new truck that was supposed to take care of all there problems in the future. Smalley reiterated that the new truck would be a pumper truck, which acts as a water reservoir for the fire truck in areas of the city were water may not be available. b. Borough Planning - No meeting had been held since last report. c. Administration La Shot reported that contractors will be starting building early this year due to the mild winter. He expects that housing starts will be up this year due to the present low interest rates. The City will have 15 lots along Evergreen Street which will be put up for bid in the near future. 10.
