Resolution PZ 94-23: Roy L. Hayes Subdivision Plat Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the pleasure of the Commission? MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-23. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked if their was anyone in the public who wished to comment on this item. Seeing and hearing none he brought it back the Commission for discussion and asked for Staff comments. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 1 Jack La Shot -reported that this plat will take three government lots and split them into smaller lots. The only problem he had was with some of the utilities and the owner's son had cleared that issue up. VOTE: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McCornsey Glick Walker YES YES GONE YES YES GONE YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. Vacation ROW: Riverview -TSH Zone Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked if their was anyone in the public who wished to comment. Clarence Ladd asked what TSH stood for? It was then determined that the property was actually in the Central Commercial Zone not TSH. Walker asked for a staff report. Jack La Shot reported that the preliminary plat had been approved at the previous meeting. This is an attempt to make four lots out of several smaller lots, on that previously reviewed plat there was a note that said the ROW being vacated this plat, this is the actual process for that vacation. La Shot had commented when the plat was reviewed that the City should retain a utility easement, 15 feet of either side of the southerly lot line, Lot 6 A. He believed that there may be utilities in there now and if not there may be a future need to bring utilities through that easement. MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED APPROVAL OF THE VACATION OF ROW ON RIVERVIEW. PHIL BRYSON SECONDED. AMENDED MOTION: GOECKE ASKED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION TO RETAIN THE 30 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT AS SUGGESTED BY STAFF. BRYSON CONCURRED. Chairman Walker asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the amended motion which included the staff recommendation to retain the 30 foot utility easement? Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 2 Clarence Ladd, owner of the property, stated that the surveyor was taking care of this item for him, but he had no problem with retaining a 30 ft utility easement. Walker brought the item back for Commission action. VOTE-AMENDED MOTION: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES GONE YES YES GONE YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Chairman Walker asked if there were any comments from the public on the main motion? Hearing and seeing none, he brought it back to the Commission for discussion. Bryson said he just wanted to reconfirm statements that were discussed at the previous meeting to include that all lots have ROW frontage. VOTE-MAIN MOTION: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES GONE YES YES GONE YES 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Re-review Development in TSH Zone: Beluga Lookout RV Park Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the pleasure of the Commission? MOTION: TERESA WERNER-QUADE MOVED FOR RE-REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT IN TSH ZONE FOR BELUGA LOOKOUT RV PARK. LORI MCCOMSEY SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked for discussion on the motion which was just to re-review the development not to approve the development as resubmitted. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Sandra Vozar, 1001 Mission Street, stated she and her husband owned the Beluga Lookout RV Park and the building that is being re-reviewed. She said when they originally brought the plan before P&Z the drawing showed a porch. At the time, they had explained that the dormer on the plans would be extended so there would be less loss of space. Vozar apologized for not coming back before the Commission when they decided to enclosed the porch. The original plans called for a concrete foundation but as the building progressed they decided to put down pilings. When they put down pilings the porch would cantilever under the main building. So when they were working on the bluff during the winter they realized that the porch should be enclosed due to the windy conditions. Vozar apologized again for not coming back before the Commission before changing the building plans. Vozar said she had spoken with Jack La Shot about the roof, if there would problems because they might be higher or lower than the 20 feet indicated on the original plans. La Shot said that if the new building was not higher than the Toyon Villa there wouldn't be a problem. Vozars had also discussed the change to the roof. That too, did not seem to be a problem. Vozar said she was willing to pay the extra amount for the permit. Basically the ground coverage has not changed from the original plan. The only thing that has been done is to enclose the porch. Too close it in later, being that it was a log building, it would always look like atie-in, so it was better to enclose the porch during the construction. Vozar said she was sorry she had not asked before making the changes. She urged the Commission to approve the development and not to issue astop-work order, because that would not accomplish anything and leave an unfinished building in Old Town. Vozar also mentioned the whale sculpture. Many tourists come down to watch the whales, but many people have never seen an actual whale. She showed a model of a Beluga Whale that was used as a pattern for the whale canning. She felt it would be an enhancement to the Old Town area. People come to watch the whales and this will help them identify the whales. It is not a sign, there will be nothing written on. It is just a tourist attraction like the chamber's bear and other attractions visitors like to see and take pictures of. She said she would be glad to pay a permit fee for the sculpture and would urge the Commission to let them proceed with their project. Chairman Walker asked if the whale is on their property? Vozar said yes, they have three acres there. Walker asked if there was anyone else that wished to speak on this issue? Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 4 Jim Arness, a member of the newly appointed Townsite Historic Board, said he felt that the Commission was aware of the ordinances that have been enforce for quite some time. Arness said he was not necessarily concerned with the Vozars project. His concern is that over the years, since the establishment of the first Ordinance that provided for specific zoning in that part of town there has been very little concern on the part of the Planning Commission or the Council to listen too or consider any concerns from the people who have been appointed to carry out the mandates of the Ordinance. There was a previous Board that had to approve any development in that area, the Board was eventually dissolved. But now a new Board has been established, and Amess felt that it may not being utilized properly. The Board was established in March and there has not been a meeting, which follows how these Boards have been utilized in the past. Amess was concerned with policy, there is an Ordinance 1421.05 that provides for specific review processes by the Townsite Historic Board that are supposed to be considered by the Planning Commission before they approve anything in the TSH zone. The City made the law and Arness is concerned if the policy is going to be to disregard the law, then there should be steps to eliminate the Ordinance and the Board. Amess said there was a law in place. And if the Commission is considering a need for the building permit, there was not a permit required for the RV Park. The Building and RV Park were supposed to be reviewed by the Historic Board. Amess said he wished to put the Commission on notice that they should know what the Ordinances are. Councilman Duane Bannock, as a Planning & Zoning member just last fall, said he had been involved in approving the plans for the Vozar development. In his opinion when the building which had been approved was presented he imagined a long, two- story log building, similar to what is currently being built. Whether that building was a mile or two-miles long the visual effect remains the same. Bannock suggested that the Commission take several actions to help with their decision. First, to remind applicants that when changes are made they must be pre-approved. Secondly, the City of Kenai must be in the position to accept some of the responsibility for this. It is the City of Kenai's job to make sure that plans are being implemented as submitted. Bannock urged the Commission to vote positively for the completion of the first positive development in the TSH zone in a long time. Chairman Walker asked if there was any one else that wished to speak to the item. Seeing and hearing none he brought the item back to the Commission. END PUBLIC HEARING Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 5 Jack La Shot reported that Staff started the re-review process due to the increase in building size and the addition of the whale structure. These changes will require an amendment to the original building permit. La Shot and the City Attorney had reviewed the procedure for the re-review and felt the item should be reviewed under the guidelines in effect at the time the original permit was issued. La Shot said he estimates the building is approximately 50% larger than the original plans outlined. The review should pertain to the building and the whale only, since that is what is required for the building permit. Ron Goecke said he did not understand what the whale had to do with the building permit? La Shot said the City viewed it as a large structure and it does fall under the guidelines of the building code. Phil Bryson said he felt that the footprints of the building had not been altered from the original submitted plan. Jack La Shot said the city had a floor plan when the first permit was issued which listed the floor plan as 20 X 60. The new floor plan, since the porch was enclosed is more like 21 wide X 85.5 feet long. Councilman Smalley commented with regard to Councilman Bannock's comments regarding the City's responsibility to measure projects. It is not the City's responsibility to measure projects, they may choose to do it, but they are not required to do it. Phil Bryson asked Administration concerning the general procedure of review in TSH zone. Under the procedure, is this review following through with what should have been done at the time the original permit was issued? Should it have been reviewed by the Historic Board at that time? La Shot said he felt there was no other committee or Board established at the time of the original permit. Chairman Walker asked for additional comments or questions on the item. Bryson asked if the motion was specific to the building itself, separate from the large wood structure? Loretta Harvey read the motion which was to re-review the development in the TSH zone. Teresa Werner-Quade, said she had gone to the site and spoken with the Vozars. She had contacted several people in regards to this project so she could get as much information as possible on this item. She noted that Vozar's letter had stated that they wished to enclose the porch. Werner-Quade did not have a problem with that. In the original minutes Vozar said the plans for the upper level were not included because there was no immediate plans for that space and it may not be developed for awhile. When developed the area would be a small one-bedroom or a meeting area. Werner- Quade felt the extension of the upper level to 85.5 feet is really excessive given the fact that surrounding property owners might not have been able to have input about Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 6 the development. She also felt that any contractor doing business within the City has a responsibility to come to the City first, before going ahead with any extension of plans such as these. Wemer-Quade felt a city imposed fine might be in order. Paul Vozar, said he had been a contractor for 30 years. He felt that if this was the case, when he put on the addition he'd have gone to Jack and said he had changed the plans and paid for the changes. Vozar said he did not do anything wrong, he built according to the needs of the site. He said if you don't add the third story enclosure. He said he was not trying to get away with anything, he would have talked to Jack to see if he owed the City more money. And he felt it was not right for people to say they were going to shut the project down. He has lived on the bluff for 30 years and been a builder in the area for 25 years. Vozar thought it wasn't fair that he had to come back before the Commission like being in court and he couldn't see why he had to do that. Teresa Werner-Quade said she felt it was a shame he couldn't see that. Phil Bryson asked that all comments be directed through the Chair. Paul Vozar said he was sorry that this happened. He didn't realize he had to come back before the Commission he thought he could deal directly through Jack. He didn't realize he had to bring his plans before a woman. Teresa Werner-Quade said she wanted to answer Mr. Vozar's comments since she felt personally attacked. The matter is not a personal thing, it's a matter of procedure. When you make significant changes to any project you need to check in with the proper authorities. Sandra Vozar apologized for her husband. She said that they have been building in Kenai since 1974 and in the past the process has been fairly loose. This was never an issue before, but she realized that building codes are getting tougher, and they should have come to the City and asked. The reason they didn't ask was there was going to be a deck on top, the upper portion will not be started on until October or November. The rest of the space has not been planned for on the upper level. If Vozar's would have just put on the deck, it would have been a possible safety issue. The winds on the roofs might be a hazard, if the deck is enclosed the people will be protected from windsheers on the bluff. Chairman Walker asked fora 10 minutes recess at 8:40. Meeting reconvened at 8:50. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 7 AMENDED MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE NEW BUILDING IN THE TSH ZONE AND INCLUDE THE WHALE STRUCTURE. PHIL BRYSON SECONDED. DISCUSSION ON AMENDED MOTION: Phil Bryson asked for clarification on the amendement. Is the amendment to re- approve the presently submitted building application? Bryson asked if there was a 1994 building permit? La Shot said they will not issue a perm it until the Commission makes their decision. Bryson asked if the amendment was for the building as presently being constructed including the artwork? Goecke said that was correct. Bryson concluded that this does not include any encroachments are alleged encroachments. Chairman Wacker asked if there was any further discussion on the amendment? Seeing and hearing none he reopened the public hearing for comment on the amended motion. Seeing and hearing none in the audience that wished to present public comment the item was brought back to the Commission. Jack La Shot said it is staff's feeling that they are not making judgement on whether the character of the building is changed. The re-review was a requirement of re- issuing the building permit. Phil Bryson felt that the footings in the original plan and the re-submitted plan had not been changed. So from his perspective the impact to the neighborhood has not significantly changed. At some point the views of the structure changed from a barn type roof to the present roof plan. Chairman Walker said he felt that a gable style roof is just a matter of preference, he did not feel one roof is preferred over another in the TSH zone. He also felt the enclosure of the porch was appropriate on the bluff. VOTE-AMENDED MOTION: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES GONE YES YES GONE YES Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 8 VOTE-MAIN MOTION: Bryson Goecke Pierce Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES GONE YES YES GONE YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Phil Bryson felt it would be appropriate to request that Administration follow-up with setting an organizational meeting of the Townsite Historic Board. Chairman Walker asked if Bryson would make a motion to that effect. MOTION AND VOTE: PHIL BRYSON MOVE TO REQUEST ADMINISTRATION TO SET A DATE FOR AN ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING FOR THE TOWNSITE HISTORIC BOARD. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED AND ASKED FOR UNANIMOUS CONSENT. MOTION PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 7. OLD BUSINESS 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT REMS Jack La Shot noted the Code Enforcement Table which had been made available at the meeting. He noted that property owners listed on the table would be sent letters regarding junk or abandoned vehicles with the Commission's concurrence. The Commission requested that the letters be sent. Lori McComsey mentioned there was a junk trailer off of Tern, next to the apartments. Hal Smalley reported a old truck with an abandoned trailer off Linwood. Staff said they would investigate these new items. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported that Karen Mahurin spoke on behalf of the Save Oldtown Committee, which is not an officially recognized committee by the City. Mahurin reported that a lot of people in the TSH are concerned about preserving and cleaning up the area. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 9 The Tomrdle's have renovated an old fishing boat and came before Council requesting they be able to set it in front of the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Cultural Center (KBVCC). Council felt this item should be addressed by the KBVCC Board. The resolution on street names within Black Hills Subdivision was pulled because a citizen reported that the streets had been named previously. Council had requested that Planning Staff further research this issue. Council should approve the budget at their next meeting. It appears there will be a 4% Cost of Living increase for city employees, also several positions will be added, including a Engineer Technician position in Public Works. Concerns had been expressed regarding traffic problems on Lawton. Staff was asked to investigate making one side of Lawton a "no parking" area. The Thompson Park Water & Sewer Extension Project is underway, it is hoped a walking path/bike trail will be developed across the extension sometime in the future. Councilman Smalley said he would be unavailable for the June 22nd meeting. b. Borough Planning Phil Bryson reported on items specific to Kenai which were the Land Classifications the Commission reviewed at a previous meeting. The Planning Commission recommended withdrawing two of the parcels,. the large one and one of the smaller ones. The recommendations will now go to the Assembly for final approval. c. Administration Jack La Shot reported that new signs had been placed on the end of Mission Street near the bluff and on the storm drain running through the bluff. Loretta Harvey reported that she had spoken with Dick Troeger, Planning Director KPB, and other KPB Planning Staff regarding the street names in Black Hills S/D. The Borough had no records of any names on these streets. Troeger explained that Black Hills had been identified as one of the problem areas in the Emergency Service Number project which had been contracted through McLane & Associates. The Borough had received a draft copy of the report on March 18th, after they review the project they will be meeting with cities within the scoping area to discuss street name problems. Troeger suggested that the City hold off on any street naming actions, unless absolutely necessary, until the plan can be reviewed by all agencies. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 1994 Page 10 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED Sandra Vozar requested that the Council review their policy on allowing large RV caravans to camp on City property. The RV park owners have gone to great expense to develop their lots and it seems the City should not be in the business of renting camping spots. Kevin Walker said that when he was on the Council it was within the City Manager's purview to allow RV's to park on City property. The idea was that RV Caravan's brought additional tourism dollars into the City. He felt it would be appropriate to bring the item before Council for review. Sandra Vozar said she realized it had been necessary in the past to accommodate these Caravans, because there were no alternatives. Now there are several RV Parks within the City limits so the policy should be reevaluated. Clarence Ladd, 807 Cook Ave, said he was also concerned about the erosion of Main and Mission Street. He asked that the Commission keep a fire lit under the Council to continue to monitor and seek ways to take care of the erosion problem on these streets. 11. INFORMATION ITEMS a. Memo regarding Erosion Main and Mission Street 12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Lori McComsey said she would be gone for the May 25th meeting. 13.

Some of those concerns were: 1. What, who, or why was the request for street naming brought up? On approximately March 28, a real estate agent called me to obtain addresses for several lots in Black Gold S/D. When I went to look up the addresses in the City of Kenai Map Index 1990, I discovered there were street numbers but no names. I told the agent I would have to get back to her, because we may have to assign street names in order to give her the correct address. She said a street number was adequate, since there was only an offer on the lots, when the sale was finalized she would contact the City regarding the street name. She asked if the street could be named "Nancy" after the client who was interested in purchasing several of the lots. said I did not feel that would be a problem if a street name did not already exist. After that discussion I began researching street names in the subdivision. Besides no listing in the Kenai Map Index 1990, there were no listings in the "City of Kenai Alaska Area Atlas" produced by Alaska Mapping Systems (Tom Luzny), or on the original plat which was filed in 1986. I then contacted Jane Gabler at the Borough to see what street names they had and they had no listed names for Black Gold Subdivision. I spoke to Jack about this and he said to assign street names and bring them before the Planning and Zoning Commission. 2. Were there names for these streets at time of platting? If no, why not? Have these streets ever had names? It appears these streets were never officially named, except possibly Alpine. I checked with Jane Gabler and Robbie Harris of the KPB Planning Department and their base map does not list names, nor do any of their other records. Jane explained that many of the earlier platted subdivisions within the Borough were filed without street names. 3. How were the street names chosen? The woman who was purchasing properties along the proposed Nancy Way requested a woman's street name, we felt it would be consistent to name the streets after other women. We also wished to honor Howard Hackney, by naming one after him. 4. Lady at meeting said she lived on Bluebell off Alpine. I think she said she thought Bluebell continued to street we called Kathy Lane. Please check on the street name north of Kathy Lane to see if it is called Bluebell. The lady at the meeting, Iona Wilson, just left this office (1:22 p.m. 5/11/94). She left a map which was obtained from the phone company which shows the street names listed. I called Todd, PTI Engineering regarding these records. He said they came from the PTI Plant Record maps, which are in no way official records, but are for office use only. None of his other maps of Black Gold Estates showed street names. CONCLUSION: As you may know the Borough recently contracted with McLane and Associates on the Enhanced 911 Maps and Address project. This project identifies Emergency Services Numbers (ESN) throughout the Borough, and also identifies problems with duplicate, problem, or non-existing street names. The preliminary study was received by the Borough March 18, 1994. I spoke with Jane Gabler on May. 11 and asked her if the study showed any street names in Black Gold Estates. The study does not. I have met with Dick Troeger and Cathy Wagner of the KPB regarding this issue on May 4. Dick said that there were approximately 1500 streets within the Borough which had been identified with problems. He recommended that the City hold off on street naming actions until a joint meeting can be held to identify and correct problem areas within the Borough. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: According to KMC 14.15.110 Plan Adopted (a) The Planning and Zoning Commission is hereby authorized to prepare and present to the Council a complete plan for naming of all streets, avenues, and public ways within the City in accordance with KMC 14.15.010 through 14.15.140. A plan has never been prepared or presented to Council. The Planning Staff has used portions of the Borough's system in recent street naming situations. At this time Staff would recommend that no further action be taken on the above referenced matter until the Borough and City can meet to discuss the ESN system and potential street naming problems within the city. If any of the unofficial names are adopted they may be duplicates of existing street names. This would mean that they may have to be renamed in the near future. In the meantime, if Council concurs, Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission will prepare a street naming plan to present to Council.
