Subject:Conditional Use Permit 1518 Tundra Rose

Dear Members of the Board:
I am writing concerning the conditional use permit request for 1518 Tundra Rose Lane. Bowfin
Properties, LLC owns 1510 Tundra Rose Lane. I am the sole member of Bowfin Properties, a property
holding LLC within our family trust. My wife and I are semi-retired. We purchased 1510 to build a
summer home, which we are currently building. We have been visiting Alaska for over 20 years and love
it here. We considered many locations; and Alaska has an abundance of beautiful places. We chose
Kenai specifically because of the codes and ordinances in place. We did not want to spend hundreds of
thousands of our hard-earned retirement funds in a location that could be lost simply by a neighbor
creating an eyesore on their property.
This is not intended to be an attack or insult toward the persons applying for the permit. This is only an
assessment of what will and could happen if this is allowed. Definitely, a campground of any kind in a
subdivision lowers everyone else's property values. I cannot imagine anyone in a subdivision anywhere
in the U.S. agreeing that a campground next door would raise their property value. What could happen?
"For friends and family" is a potentially large number with an open end of scenarios. Just a few of the
problems this will bring includes: increased traffic, noise, outdoor activity, trash and lighting.
I have attached the Wild Rose Subdivision plat and photos of the homes in this subdivision. As you can
see, a campground will greatly take away from the aesthetics of this neighborhood and greatly reduce the
sense of privacy, consistency and quiet enjoyment that the current residents value.
I kindly ask that you deny this request as it will be detrimental to the residents of Tundra Rose as well as
the City of Kenai.
Sincerely,
Ken Corbett
