5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Resolution PZ 92-34: Carr's Sign Variance
PUBLIC HEARING - ***VERBATIM***
Paul Carr - my address is 6461, Reed Lane, Anchorage 99502. I'll
put it down here. The request before you this evening is modified
from the last presentation or request that we had made before this
body. We've reduced the main reading sign. We've redesigned it
and it will be reduced to 154 s.f which is in compliance with your
municipal sign ordinance. So we're not asking for any variance
relative to the size or the placement of that sign. What we are
asking for is for a variance to put a directional entrance
identification sign along the Kenai Spur highway. I assume you
received a copy of my letter of December 2nd to Mr. La Shot
explaining that. I would also like to clarify there's an error in
that letter where I said that the sign would be 27 s.f. actually
the sign as submitted to you is actually for 36 s.f., not 27.
Also, as I said in this letter, we view this as a safety entrance
sign. I would point out that during the plat review the driveway
accesses and entrances were acceptable in plat review. They've
been permitted by the Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities, there has been no objection in relation to the use or
RENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meeting
Page 2
restriction of those. We feel that it would facilitate traffic
movement and a safety feature into the center, whereas people
coming from either direction they know they have the alternatives,
and/or the chance to lessen traffic congestion at one of the turn
points. ~It facilitates safety all along the highway. That's
basically the request, a variance for a second sign 36 s.f. in
nature and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Hanson - you said that the main sign has been altered as such that
it complies with the 154 s.f. I don't have, in my packet, any
example of what that alteration would look like. Would you care to
describe.
Carr - the alteration as I understand it has been by the reduction
in the height of the sign by three to four inches.
Hanson - and than on the entrance sign you're requesting, the 36
s.f. entrance sign, have there been any changes to that sign
besides what I have in my packet?
Carr - no there have not.
Hanson - If the intent of the sign is to be an entrance sign, to
facilitate traffic I'd like to know why the word Carrs is larger
than the word entrance?
Carr - I"wished `I"•-had, ~Mr. < Chairman, . ,I wish I- had ~ brought a visual
of that. I was going to and the light got away from me. It's the
typical sign, a white lit background with the colored Carr's and of
the word entrance incorporated in the arrow. There standard signs
that we've used in all the other centers. it appears to meet the
needs, I think the shape, the diagonal of the sign adequately
points it out. It's the motif and the design that's been used for
years. And it seems to help work.
Hanson - there's an arrow?
Carr - no, not an arrow, but the configuration of the sign helps
facilitate that, you know, this is the point. There was, and I
don t see it on this, but there was a sign, Mr. Chairman there was
a sign, that we'd utilize the entrance portion of this and an arrow
outline on that. I cannot tell you that that is the way this sign
is designed. I can tell you that we can make it that way. We've
done it that way before. The one that comes to mind is our center
on Jewell Lake in Anchorage.
Hanson - well I guess my concern is that, of this 36 s.f. it looks
like a very small percentage of that is being used as an entrance
sign. The majority of it is being used to describe Carr's super
foods, super drug, open 24 hours, which is, or should be, on your
main sign.
Carr - that's a comment I have no response too.
Hanson - would you care to comment on my comment?
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meeting
Page 3
Carrs - again I reiterate that this is what they've had in the
past. It's what's been successful. It's worked I believe in .years
past they even ran it by DOT, Department of Transportation. And
they had no objection or no comment, and I don't know that, and to
be honest I can't see where they're in a position of commenting.
So it may be just fine, do it. I can't respond to that.
Graveley - Any other questions? Mr. Glick?
Glick - By putting this entrance sign in are you attempting to
establish a traffic flow that the other, where the big sign is will
be the exit than?
Carr - No, what we're trying to do, Mr. Chairman, excuse me,A I
don't see names in front of you there so I'm at a loss here. Mr.
Chairman, what we're trying to do is to facilitate overall
circulation and a safety feature into this so it's clearly
identified so that there is another entrance. The driveway now
accommodates both ingress and egress. It was, I think it is close
to 36 feet in width. Now, maybe right now, when I look at it, the
last time I was here and again this evening, it might be the ground
is frozen, and the snow is making it look wider then it is, but
that's about what I pace it off as. As I said before, the people
on the Spur highway, obviously the people coming to make a right
turn in, it's not much of a problem, it's basically a free right in
at either entrance. It would the people wanting to make the left
out or the left in and if we can help split the traffic pile up, or
disperse that, over the site distance there we'll eliminate some
confusion in stacking and people trying to get in and around cars.
They'll have another option there. We'd like to identify that
option to facilitate traffic flow.
Graveley - anymore questions for Mr. Carr? Thank you sir.
Carr - Thank you.
Graveley - are there any other
would like to speak on Resolution
at this time. Seeing none we'll

***DISCUSSION***
Graveley - Open for discussion. Mr. Bannock?
RENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meetinq
Paqe 4
Bannock (passed out copies of sign design) - I'm supporting this
resolution tonight for several different reasons. First off, it
has been shown me clearly how inadequate our existing sign
ordinance is. The numbers of 81 s.f. and 154 s.f. seem to be
purely arbitrary, no rhythm or reason. I've talked to former
Mayors about these numbers where they cam from. There is no set
purpose to those numbers. Even the Welcome to Kenai sign, which
you have in front of you, it's on the Spur highway, exceeds the
maximum size. As you will notice the sign does not include the
base, nor does it include the top. It says Kenai All America City.
Some people have said the sign is just too big for an All America
City, but what does the biggest sign in Kenai say? Welcome to
Kenai, All America City. Some people here say, everyone already
know where Carr's is. Again, why do we spend thousands of dollars
announcing where Kenai is? It's on every map.
Weeks ago, during a work session, on the sign ordinance, the
consensus was that the existing sign ordinance was fine. After
all, when the need for a larger sign arose and we knew that it
would, we have a variance mechanism to solve that problem. If we
refuse this request, what grounds do we base it on? Is an extra 29
feet okay for the City, but 36 is not okay for this applicant?
Based on the vague assumption it's just too big? Who than will
qualify for a variance, if the largest facility in Kenai cannot?
Why have it on the books than? We obviously have no intention of
using it. Now variance should not be confused with a special favor.
It is part of the law. Many good people and businesses have one.
many need one. In the past few weeks I've paid closed attention to
signs in Kenai and while I respect business owners who choose not
to have large signs, I would hope that they could understand Carr's
wishes as well. Thank you.
Graveley - Thank you Mr. Bannock. This diagram that you gave us,
does this particular sign have a permit or a variance on it, do you
know?
Bannock - I asked our secretary about that a couple of weeks ago
and it's my recollection that no variance permit was ever approved.
Graveley - Jack do you know?
La Shot - I don't think so.
Graveley - than it has none?
La Shot - no.
Graveley - any other discussion. The other prospect for signs for
Carrs, and I go along with what Mr. Bannock has stated and I want
to drive home another fact that I don't want people to overlook.
Carr's sits back off the road. Yes, everybody on the Kenai
Peninsula probably knows where Carrs is, however, looking at the
plat of that area and the proposed possibilities of Pad D, Pad C,
and Pad B Carrs can, sometime down the road, be obscured by other
buildings out along the frontage, the main highway. So keep that
in mind too when you're making your decision. Mr. Glick?
RENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meeting
Page 5
Glick - well I've given this a lot of thought over the last month
and a half that we've been looking at this. A couple things come
to mind. First of all, we have had numerous objections to giving
a variance, only one letter that I recall was a non-objection.
We've had quit a few people come and testify from the Chamber and
businesses around the city that object to it. Also think about
where Carrs was located before. They had one sign that wasn't as
exposed as the new one here would be, because of NBA's bank
building and the trees there. It was kinda hidden from either
direction, also there were no entrance signs into that mall and yet
there were three entrances off the main highway, one off Willow and
one off Main Street Loop, none of those had entrance signs.
Maybe I wouldn't be so opposed to this if it just said entrance
even, but it's also an advertising sign as well. In light of all
that I guess I have a hard time going along with this. The other
thing I think I need to talk about here is that I agree with Duane
that it's not right for the City to put in a sign that doesn't meet
our sign ordinance than turn down private businesses, but that's in
the past, it's been done and we can't change it.
Graveley - further discussion?
Bryson - for the record, I will be abstaining from this item due to
conflict.
Graveley - Mr. Bannock.
Bannock - Mr. Chairman I would like to make an amendment to the
original motion. I would like to move that this permit be granted
based on two things. Number one the revocation of their existing
sign permit and number two the removal in full of the old sign at
the old Carr s location.
Graveley - does that concur with Mr. Goecke who made the second.
Goecke - Yes.
Graveley - further discussion? Mr. Bryson.
Bryson - I'd like to make a statement this is directly related to
his amendment, it's not in reference to the proposal. I believe
it's on a different site and it's a different business. It may be
the same corporate owner but it's a different parcel and it's
conforming at this time and I don't see how you can tie one to the
other.
Graveley - Mr. Bannock do you wish to reconsider.
Bannock - not really because I don't personally, even though I
~ totally agree with Mr. Bryson, I don't see why, because in the
people that I talked too, the reason I brought this up, is in the
people that I talked to in the last couple of weeks, two people
have brought that to my attention. It's an ugly sign, that is an
ugly sign there is no way anybody can get around that. it's an
ugly sign that advertises an empty building. And it needs to go
RENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meetinq
Page 6
away. And I think that would be a good encouragement for Carrs to
make it go away a little quicker than just removing the panels out
of it. So although I believe that Mr. Bryson might be totally
correct in that they wouldn't have to I would like to make them
have to, ~if I can do that.
Graveley - further discussion? Seeing none, we'll call for
question. This is on Resolution PZ 92-34 as amended by Duane
Bannock.
Glick - We're voting on the amendment or on the main motion?
Graveley - on the amendment. The amendment that Mr. Bannock
stated, so that we're all correct is: i) to remove the old
existing sign in front of the old Carrs building; and .
What was the other part Mr. Bannock?
Bannock - to revoke the sign permit for Carr's previous permit.
There may not be one there, its's been there a long time. A permit
that is.
Graveley - is that correct? Okay.
VOTE - AMENDMENT:
Bannock: Yes Glick: Yes Graveley: Yes Goecke: Yes
Hanson: Yes Bryson: Abstain
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. -ONE ABSTENTION.
Graveley - now we will vote on the main motion which is the Sign
Variance as in-your packet.
VOTE - MAIN MOTION:
Bannock: Yes Glick: No Graveley: Yes Goecke: Yes
Hanson: No Bryson: Abstain
MOTION FAILS. ONE ABSTENTION.
Graveley - Motion passes, Mr. Carr, if you will .
Glick - point of order, I don't think that motion passed.
Graveley - you're right, it doesn't have a quorum. Motion fails.
Mr. Carr you may appeal to the City Council, is that correct Mr.
Smalley?
Smalley - yes, you'll have to check with the secretary to get the
procedures and the process. To try to get it on our next Council
agenda it would have to be in by next .
Harvey - I think next Wednesday, because we have short work weeks,
due to the holidays.
Carr - and when would that meeting be?
RENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
December 23, 1992 - Meetinq
Page 7
-- Smalley - that would be the 6th of January.
Carr - Mr. Chairman if I would have the appeal in by next Wednesday
in theory, the more quickly it would make the agenda?
Smalley - Correct, the two things you may wish to appeal are the
amendment, well of course that failed. The amendment passed, but
the main motion failed. So it would be just the main motion.
Carr - thank you very much for your time, Mr. Chairman if I may.
you may not like this, but from my point of view, I'm glad to see
that I'm not the only thing. on the agenda to bring you out for the
meeting a couple of days before Christmas.
***END VERBATIM***
b. Resolution PZ 92-38: Oiler's Variance
La Shot - reported that the building on lot 5B was in the process
of being demolished. The building on lot 5A would be on the
property line. The new lot 5B would be smaller than the minimum
7200 s.f. The variance would be for a relaxation of minimum lot
size for Lot 5B, and the encroachment is required for the building
to remain in the setbacks in Lot 5A. La Shot recommended approval
~ as it would improve the situation in both instances.
Graveley - opened the meeting to the Public Hearing portion.
***PUBLIC HEARING - VERBATIM***
Coral W. Seymour - 1101 First Street, Kenai, Alaska. Basically the
only reason we are here to answer any questions that might come up.
The reason .that we have applied for this varaiance is so that the
present owner of lot B that was referred too, will go ahead
and he has consented to the changes as they have been presented•so
we can go ahead and buy the building. We've exchanged property
where the present building setting on his prior property as it is
indicated from the earlier survey. So if any of you have any
questions we'd be glad to answer them.
Hanson - which lot do you own, 5A or 5B?
Seymour - we don't own either one of them. We're trying to buy Lot
5 A.
Hanson - And both the owners of Lot 5A and 5B agree with this plat.
Seymour - both owners agreed to the changes as presented, so the
sale can be expediated.
~ Graveley - are there any persons who would like to speak on this
item at this time?

EX>FIIBIT A
14.20.105 Townsite Historic (TSH Zoning District: (a) Intent. The TSH Zoning
District is intended to provide for a mixed, controlled use in a designated area, which will protect
and enhance the historic character of the zone. The goal of the TSH zone is to manage all new
development and reconstruction by requiring all applications for a building permit to submit an
application to the appropriate body for approval prior to the issuance of the permit. All
applications must meet the criteria of the application process.
(b) Guidelines. The following guidelines are intended to provide the applicant with an
idea of the general criteria the [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD (REVIEW
BOARD)] Planning and Zoning Commission (Commissions will employ when reviewing
proposals for construction in the TSH zoning district. They are designed to preserve the
characteristics which typify development in the district and provide the basis for preserving' the
historical character of the district.
(1) All alterations to existing structures should be performed so as to preserve the
historical and architectural character of the TSH zoning district.
(2) The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or
site in its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic
material or destruction of architectural features should be avoided when possible.
(3) All existing buildings, structures, and sites should be recognized as products
of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis should be discouraged, except
buildings that have functional utilities.
(4) Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of
the history and development of a building, structure, or site, and its environment. These
changes may have acquired significance of their own, which should be recognized and
respected.
(5) Contemporary design for alteration and additions to existing properties shall
not be discouraged when such alterations or additions do not destroy the historical
character of the structure. The same will hold true on new construction, that is,
contemporary design shall not be discouraged if it does not violate the historical character
of the surrounding buildings or of the historic district as a whole.. Design proposals for
both new construction and alterations to existing structures should be compatible with the
size, scale, color, material, and character of the property, the immediate surrounding
. structures, and those in the historic district.
(c) Application. An application for construction in the TSH Zoning District shall be filed
with the Planning Department for any rehabilitation/renovation or new construction within the
TSH zoning district, as located within the bounds shown on the City of Kenai Official Zoning
Map, which application shall contain:
(1) Three copies of the application signed by the applicant and, if leasing the
premises, co-signed by the owner indicating type or nature of business.
(2) Current color photographs of the site and of any existing structures
representing both the overall condition of the structure and accurately portraying the
materials and color.
(3) Three copies of a landscaping and site plan complying with the development
~ criteria of this chapter and drawn to scale showing the existing structure and all proposed
alterations and additions in relation to the site. Provided that no landscaping/site plan
shall be required unless the proposed construction exceeds $10,000 in value.
(d) Development Criteria. The development criteria is to provide for a district in which
mixed residential and retail enterprises co-habit in a desirable and compatible use. All
landscaping/site plans and/or proposed construction shall:
(1) Encourage, wherever possible and compatible with historic character of the
TSH zone, foot traffic; restaurants, gift shops, parks, etc.; indigenous Kenai Peninsula
flora; historic interpretation; wooden structures including log style with soft colored or
natural sidings.
(2) Discourage uses which will violate the historic and scenic quality of the TSH
zone; buildings and building additions that are not compatible in height with adjacent
buildings or which violate the existing scale of the district; metal buildings; quonset but
style buildings; buildings with a "modern design" style of architecture; more than duplex
residences; gas stations; auto repair shops; rental storage of any kind; junk; kennels or
similar uses.
(e) Setbacks. Setbacks within the TSH zone shall be as stated in the KMC Development
Requirements Table under the Urban Residential (RU) criteria, except as to existing buildings.
(fj Review Process. Upon submittal of an application, the Planning Department shall
schedule the application for review by the [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD]
Commission at the following appropriate meeting.
(1) Approval or rejection of the landscaping/site plan shall be based upon the
development criteria in subsection(d) above and all other pertinent provisions of the Kenai
Municipal Code.
(2) Should the [REVIEW BOARD) Commission require modification to the
submitted application or additional submittals due to unusual conditions, then the additions
shall be submitted by the applicant when requested by the [REVIEW BOARD]
Commission prior to approval of the application by the [REVIEW BOARD) Commission.
(3) Upon approval of the application by the [REVIEW BOARD] Commission,
the application shall be forwarded to the Building Official. (Ord. 1133)
. 14.25.035 Landscaping/Site Plan: Submittal of a preliminary landscaping/site plan and ~ ~ ~~.--
approval by the [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD] Planning and Zoning , _ ~ T,~~ ~_
Commission is required prior to any land clearing and/or tree cutting. ; `~~~,
14.25.040 Landscaping Plan -Performance Criteria: (a) Objectives for Landscaping
Plan: An effective landscaping plan should utilize a variety of techniques for achieving the intent
of this ordinance. The appropriate placement or retention of vegetation in sufficient amount will
provide the best results. Perimeter, interior, and parking lot landscaping should be included as
components of the overall landscaping plan.
(b) Perimeter Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping involves the land areas adjacent to
lot lines within the property boundary. This buffer landscaping serves to separate and minimize
the impact between adjacent land uses. Buffer landscaping may be desirable along the perimeter
of the property to shield vehicular or building lights from adjacent structures and to provide a
visual separatio~i between pedestrians and vehicles.
(c) Interior Landscaping: Interior landscaping involves those areas of the property
exclusive of the perimeter and parking lot areas. Interior landscaping is desirable to separate
`.Y~ ;d
.;a?

r ?
~ }, ~, , ,,.s .
uses or activities within the overall development. Screening or visual enhancement landscaping
is recommended to accent or complement buildings, to identify and highlight entrances to the
site, and to provide for attractive driveways and streets within the site.
(d) Parking Lot Landscaping: Parking lot landscaping involves the land areas adjacent
to or within all parking lots and associated access drives. Parking lot landscaping serves to
provide visual relief between vehicle parking areas and the reminder of the development. It also
is desirable for the purpose of improving vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns.
(e) Maximum Required Landscaping: The [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW
BOARD] Planning and Zoning Commission shall not require more than five percent (5 %) of any
project area to be landscaped.
(f) Review: The [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD] Planning and
Zoning Commission may reconsider plans after they have been approved if problems arise in
carrying out the landscaping/site plan as originally approved.
14.25.050 [LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD] Planning and Zoning
Commission: Meetings and Proceedings: The (BOARD] Commission shall meet to review and
take action on a landscaping and site plan within fourteen (14) days of satisfactory submittal to
the Planning Department. The Building Official shall issue a building permit upon approval of
the associated landscaping/site plan by the [BOARD] Commission or the expiration of fourteen
(14) days without official [BOARD] Commission action, providing all of the other requirements
for the issuance of a building permit have been met. Any appeal of the action of the [BOARD)
Commission shall be submitted in writing to the Kenai City Council.
14.25.060 Completion -Landscaping Plan: All required landscaping as presented in the
approved landscaping plan shall be installed prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy
by the Building Official. The Planning Specialist or any member of the [BOARD] Planning and
Zoning Commission may make the final inspection to verify the completion of the required
landscaping. In the event that .the landscaping has not been completed upon request for the
Certificate of Occupancy, the Building Official may grant a temporary certificate not to exceed
nine (9) months.
14.25.065 Completion -Site Plan: All requirements as outlined in Section 14.25.045
shall be installed according to the site plan as approved by -both developer and
[LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD] Planning and Zoning Commission and shall

and enhance the City of Kenai along the Spur Highway. Also the
City of Kenai should encourage DOT to develop trail systems
concurrent with the Spur improvement program, and encourage access
at collector points.
2. REVIEW OF ZONING CODE AND MAP
A review and update of the Zoning Code and Map would be appropriate

RE: POSSIBLE CODE VIOLATIONS ON UNIVERSITY PROPERTY
Dear Ms. Montgomery:
I have received your letter dated December 18, 1992 which requested
additional time to proceed with the steps which you outlined as
follows:
1) The University will inspect the property for code violations
relating to recreational vehicles, abandoned vehicles, junk
and debris.
2) If any abandoned vehicles, junk or debris still remain on the
property, the University will request the Kenai City Police to
investigate the illegal dumping.
3) If the University is unable to locate the violators to remove
the .illegal dumpings, the University will contract for cleanup
of the site.
The City will grant an additional 60 days from the date of receipt
of this letter. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,

Re: Possible Code Violations on University Property
Dear Mr. La Shot:
Thank you for your letter dated October 27, 1992, in which you requested the University of
Alaska (University) investigate possible City of Kenai code violations on property owned by the
University. Your letter requested that we investigate and remedy these violations within 60
days of the date of your letter.
I contacted Officer Wannamaker of the Kenai City Police on November 2, 1992, to report the
trespass violation and to request that they investigate your report. The Kenai City Police
reported tome on November 6, 1992, that a gentleman named Tony Escavedo was in fact camped
on or near University property. Officer Wannamaker also said he could not determine whether
this violation was on University property, or the adjacent property. The Kenai. City Police were
unwilling to proceed with charges of trespass against Mr. Escavedo, unless a survey of the
property was performed.
On December 3, 1992, the administrator of the adjacent property, Sue Wright, contacted the
University to complain about the trespass. Ms. Wright offered to show the Kenai City Police the
property markers that would confirm that the trespass is, in fact, on University property.
The University has requested that Officer Wannamaker meet with Sue Wright on the property
site to confirm the location of the property line in question. If it is determined Mr. Escavedo is
trespassing on University property, he will be asked to move. If Mr. Escavedo does not comply
with that request, it is my understanding that he will be charged with criminal trespass.
,~~
° Jack La Shot
December 18, 1992

Following Mr. Escavedo's removal from the property, I would propose the following:
1) The University will inspect the property for code violations relating to
recreational vehicles, abandoned vehicles, junk and debris.
2) If any abandoned vehicles, junk or debris still remain on the property, the
University will request the Kenai City Police to investigate the illegal
dumping.
3) If the University is unable to locate the violators to remove the illegal
dumpings, the University will contract for cleanup of the site.
Obviously, the University wilt be unable to remedy the alleged code violations in the 60 day
period stated in your letter. The University requests an extension to that deadline to provide
adequate time to proceed with the steps outlined above. Should the University find it necessary
to proceed with removal of abandoned vehicles and other debris on the property, we will proceed
with contracting as soon as weather permits.
I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
number listed above.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 29, 1992
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Jack La Shot, City Engineer
RE: ALL-AMERICA CITY SIGN //'/
As requested, I have researched the referenced sign for compliance
with the KMC. KMC 14.20.220 (a) (3), the last .sentence, states
"The City of Kenai may erect, or may allow another governmental
agency to erect, informational signs as they deem necessary."
Also, KMC 14.20.220 (c) (9) and (10) talk about "insignias" and
commemorative plaques" that do not require a permit.
In my opinion, the All-America City sign is in compliance with the
code.
