PERSONAL USE FISHERY KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 4, 2010 6:30 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS MAYOR PAT PORTER, PRESIDING NOTES H. Smalley, P. Porter, R. Molloy, R. Marquis, B Eldridge, M. Boyle J. Moore C. Freas, R Koch, T. Eubank Senator T. Wagoner, Representative K. Olson, Representative M, Chenault City Manager Koch gave a brief update of the 2009 dip net fishery, including the following: There had been 1/3 more traffic than last year. There were many complaints from residents of people parking in residential areas. -56- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 4, 2010 PAGE 2 There was no more parking lot area available and people were unwilling to pay the parking fee. The funding requested would be used to support a tent camping area and parking lot (possible option would be to purchase the Anchor Trailer Park and use it for camping and parking, which would be low improvement needs and easy to patrol). Ken Tarbox Reviewed his "Cost Sharing Proposal for Personal Use Fisheries' which was included in the work session packet. The proposal included: A sport fish license was required for every household member who participated in the personal use fisheries. Significant revenues were collected by the State Department of Fish Game (ADF &G), however sufficient funds were not allocated to local governments for the infrastructure development or management of people who participated in the fisheries. No license was required for personal use fishing that was separate and distinct where revenues could be tracked and allocated for local government or State agencies to deal with the impacts of the fisheries. A proposed solution would be to create a funding mechanism that would benefit all parties involved in the fisheries, i.e. eliminate the sport fish license requirement for personal use fisheries, introduce a bill that would create a $20 license fee per household for personal use fishing; include in the bill intent language that would allocate 60% of the license sale revenue to local governments for use in management of the fisheries and provide infrastructure for the fisheries; the remaining 40% would be allocated to the State departments required to manage the fisheries (ADF &G or DNR); allocation of funds would be based on the level of participation in the various fisheries and the need for infrastructure to reduce adverse impacts from the concentration of people and the cost to local governments; and, the solution would be implemented for the 2011 fishing season. It was noted, if the proposal would go forward, ADF &G would not want to be a part of sale of the license. PERS General discussion followed related to the State and cities input. It was suggested Larry Semmens be reassigned to the board. BELUGA WHALE A general discussion took place where it was noted, the suggested designation would be very detrim.ental to all communities on the Peninsula. It was noted a presentation would be given related to the proposed designation at the Kenai High School. In addition, the Council would be considering a resolution to request the comment period be extended and request a hearing be held in the Kenai /Soldotna area. -57- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 4, 2010 PAGE 3 CLIMATE CONTROL COMPACT A brief discussion followed.

Mayor Porter called the work session to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. Discussion. Tract A -1 -A, Baron Park Subdivision/Confirm and Memorialize Management Authority City Manager Koch reviewed his January 26, 2010 memorandum which was included in the work session packet and gave an historical overview of the Tract A -1 -A, Baron Park Subdivision property. Administration recommended the following: The Airport Fund should reimburse the General Fund in the amount of $43,253. The Airport Fund be returned the management authority over 22 acres of the property. Fund .S over the t The General tii.riu. should maintain management authority acre parcel supporting the Fire Training Facility and the future eight -acre parcel where the "Marathon Park" would be located. Koch confirmed the property was not in the Airport Reserve and the Airport Commission reviewed the issue at the time the University terminated its lease of the property, knowing the management would come back to the Airport Fund. Council Member Moore stated he disagreed with the math. There were no other objections to the recommendation. Discussion Library Expansion Project /Financing Summary Koch introduced the issue, noting he wanted council to look at all financing of the library expansion project. They would continue to look for other funding opportunities, including from the state. Finance Director Eubank reviewed the information provided in the work session packet, including project costs, project funding, amounts previous appropriated, remaining appropriations, funding schedule, and potential funding issues. -60- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 27, 2010 PAGE 2 It was explained, that if funding was delayed, Administration would come back to Council to use General Fund unreserved balance to fund the project or the start of construction would be delayed. Also noted was: The project was scheduled to go to bid in March with adve beginning on February 1. The City did not qualify for a USDA grant application. Fundraising was ongoing, with work beginning on tile sales. Construction could not go forward if funding was not in place. A letter of credit would require a vote. Bond issuance schedule was expected by April 7. If bond issuance did not go through by March 17 and Council did not want to use unreserved balance funds, the bid time could be extended. Eubank noted there would be two resolutions brought to council for consideration at its February 3, 2010 meeting: One to identify a recovery zone and the other, prepared by Bond Counsel, to allow bond funds to be spent.

Stearns Mayor Porter called the work session to order at 6:00 p.m. and noted the floor would be opened for public comment and each person would have three minutes to speak. The work session would have three sections: Dip Net Report Management of the beach areas Broad discussion of ATV and off -road vehicle use Rebecca Lamboume, 1506 Toyon Way, Kenai Noted the following: She liked the fencing. Appreciated the patrolling of the beach and park Felt there had been more impact to their neighborhood during the 2009 dip net season. People were parking along their street; people were camping in their boats parked along Forest Drive; and, people were cleaning fish on residents' yards. Trash impact to Municipal Park was very bad and suggested an autumn clean-up. Understood there was discussion of setting a 25 mph on the beach; was concerned would be saying it was safe to drive at 25 mph; and, was in favor of a ten mph speed limit. As a resident, would like Forest Drive not to be an access point to the beach; at best, on one side only and no parking on side streets. Council /Administration Comments: Have had discussions with Fish Game to acquire funding to purchase property for parking. Priority was to do better in not allowing parking in the Forest Drive and residential streets in that area. Jim White, 1509 Toyon Way, Kenai Noted the following: Asked how much should the city do to accommodate users. Concerned if more people find there's an ATV trail to the beach, there would be more people parking in the Forest Drive area. -62- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 8, 2009 PAGE 2 Would like not to have people parking on the side streets in front of residences. He left the area during the dip net fishery. Beach camp fires were still a concern to him Noise from the motorcycles begins in March. There were problems with campfires, loud music, four- wheeling, etc. the whole summer. There were discussions about having food and more parking believed it was past "enough was enough." Believed the fire rings were positioned far enough away from the bluff, however because of their height, people put more wood on the fires to get more warmth from the fires. Sue Carter, 1505 Toyon Way, Kenai Noted the following: Believed it was 100% better during the 2009 fishery and past years. Believed there was good signage. Concerned there were no restroom facilities along the beach and what people were doing as an alternative. Felt the Police Department did a really good job. Has worked well stopping access to the Park. Would like more fencing in front of the property in front of Toyon Way (beach side). Supported having park hosts. Concerned about noise and speed on the beach, but was still better than past years because of the police presence. Council /Administration Comments: Summer hires could be staggered in order to begin patrol earlier, One hire would need to be extended to cover through the dip net season. Jim Butler, 117 Kaknu, Kenai Noted the following: Believed the workers at the pay shack and who do the policing did a very good job. Did not like the posts and chain fencing, etc. to be used to handle the people. Recommended permitting vehicles to allow on the beach which would be a. way to handle the non- peiuuanent vehicles. Parking on the roads was a real safety issue. Recommended not allowing drinking alcohol on the beach during dip net and other times. Processing of fish leaves lots of waste. Suggested saying: no processing of fish allowed on the beach." Waste was another consequence of the fishery. The speed limit suggested would not be practical when trying to manage tides and soil. Enforceability would be difficult. Council /Administration comments included: -63- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 8, 2009 PAGE 3 The fishery had negative impacts to businesses and the whole town, displacing residents, etc. Suggestion local residents should have free parking. Suggestion local residents could have discounted parking. There were concerns of public doctrine issues. Believed the City was doing a really good job in managing the fishery. Drinking alcoholic beverages was not allowed on public property, however, the major issue was the amount of garbage from the fishery. Support of no cleaning fish on the beach. Believed the City was doing a very good job in managing the fishery, however believed the State needed to take a more active role in it and the City get paid more for managing the fishery. There were no littering provisions in the Code, however not allowing cleaning of fish probably would not he practical. If not done there, people would do it somewhere else. The KCHS Nordic Sld Team begins cleaning the beach during the fishery however, because of the amount of people, not much could be done until 1_1:30 at night. Believed the best alternative would be to allow cleaning of fish on the beach, but have a place for disposal of the offal Administration was looking into disposal of the waste. When discussed with representatives of Fish Game, enforcement and fish waste were the two major concerns expressed. Support of permitting vehicles. Reminder the Council works for the residents of Kenai and believed the residents should be able to enjoy the beach and sleep at night. Council needed to have its priorities straight. Support having a host at the park. Administration would continue to pursue a host program. Support a vehicle permit, but not wanting to displace residents from driving on the beach. Beach Speed Limit: Council /Administration comments included: Would support either 20 or 25 mph, but felt ten mph was too slow. Agreed with the 20 -25 mph; felt focus needed to be on noise. Public comment: Tom Thompson, 111 Paula Street, Kenai Introduced himself as chair of the Harbor Commission. Believed the management of the fishery was getting better. Waste concerns were better during the 2009 fishery. -64- KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 8, 2009 PAGE 4 Did not believe driving on the beach was a dip net fishery issue and suggested shutting driving on the beach down for the fishery participants. The fishery did support businesses in town. Believed a 25 mph limit would be fine and beach conditions would limit the speed. Not enthused with the permitting suggestion; thought it was an enforcement problem. Council /Administration Comments: The ordinance was presented with respect to safety of the people; suggested the driving in proximity to people should be the issue; and, the ordinance would need to be easily enforceable. Administration would work with Council Member Boyle with regard to the ordinance and incorporate comments from the work session related to noise, fish offal, parking on one side of Forest Drive (this year), but not allow parking on the interior subdivision streets. BREAK TAKEN: 7:40 P.M. BACK TO ORDER.: 7:50 P.M. Off -Road Vehicles: Council and Administration comments included: There had not been an overwhelming amount of complaints. Administration suggestions included increased enforcement presence and more information outreach through the newspaper and radio explaining allowable use. Suggestion: Require a permit and decals if City was going to allow riding on streets, Suggestion: Add a schedule of fines in the Code for repeat instances. Suggestion: Hold the speed at 10 mph, as well as prohibit use during certain hours of the day, but enforce the restrictions as well. Suggestion: Focus on noise concerns.

One of the 49 is here in Kenai: the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Ma Russian Orthodox Church in Old Town. Our National Historic Landmark contains the church, the chapel, cemetery, and Ft. Kenay properties. 13 acres in total. It is the prime tourist destination in Kenai, and one of the most highly photographed sites on the Kenai Peninsula. In fact, here is the 2010 National Park Service Calendar with our Kenai Landmark for January. (Pass calendar around). This area was designated a National Historic Landmark for a number of reasons: o It is the principal and most enduring representative of Russian culture in southcentral Alaska from the time when the first Russian fur traders arrived on the banks of the Kenai River in the 1790's. Today, it is both an active parish and the destination of thousands of tourists who visit the Kenai Peninsula each year. o The missionaries and priests erected the first school at the site of the current Ft. Kenay building, educating children to read, write, grow vegetables, and learn basic building methods. o The priests brought the first access to public health in the form of smal:lpax vaccine after the first epidermic killed half of population on the Kenai. Peninsula. o The Russian Orthodox Church icons date from the early 1700s when the first group of Russian missionaries came to Alaska. Our Lady of Kazan is considered to be one of the oldest non native pieces of art in the State of Alaska. o The church also served as a judicial center acting as arbiter between the Russian American Fur Trading Company and the native people. -79- o Primary Resource Documents are stored herein Kenai and the U.S. Library of Congress. Copies of these documents are also in the UAA archives. However, we are in danger of losing Kenal's historical property due to sa; ing log walls, a crumbling foundation, and no fire or theft alarm systems. In fact, The Alaska Association of Historic Preservation named the Kenai Russian Church to its Top Ten List of Endangered Properties in Alaska for 2011. Last year (2009), the church applied for and received a Federal Save America's Treasures Grant which is one of the largest and most successful federal grant programs for the protection of our nation's endangered and irreplaceable cultural heritage. Only National Historic Landmarks are considered for these federal matching fund grants. Here are some financial statistics: $125,492 Save America's Treasures Federal Grant Funds $129,895 Matching Funds Needed 53,000 Estimated Funds they have or will have shortly 75,895 Amount still needed to match as of February 8, 2010 -80- MEMO: I K1laye w a Past, Gi with a Future 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611 -7794 t 2 Telephone: 907- 283 -7535 FAX: 907 283 -3014 TO: The City Council FROM: Mayor Patricia Porter DATE: February 11, 2009 SUBJECT: Preservation of the Holy Assumption Orthodox Church The Russian Orthodox Church in Old Town Kenai is one of only 49 National Historic Landmarks in Alaska, designated by the U.S. National Parks Service (NPS). The NPS has teamed with the Local Parish to undertake a project to preserve the church. The Church is in danger of future collapse as a result of the structural deterioration of the walls. An engineering/architectural firm specializing in the preservation of historic properties has recently begun the design for this important project. The Kenai Russian Orthodox Church is much more than a church to our community. It is a tourist destination and a constant reminder of our community's history and cultural heritage. The estimated cost of the preservation project is approximately $260,000. The Parish is being supported by a "Save America's Treasures Grant" administered by the NPS in the amount of 5125,492. This is a matching grant that requires a match of $129,895. Initially, the Parish thought they would be the recipient of a Rasmuson Foundation Tier II grant in the same amount, but given the present state of the economy, that did not come to pass In order to make up the matching funding shortfall the Parish is looking to the community and other funding sources, The following funding sources have been identified: Local Parish Funds 13,000 Rasmuson Foundation Tier I Grant 25,000 National Trust for Historical Preservation 5,000 Russian Orthodox Sacred Sites in Alaska 5,000 Kenai Historical Society 5,000 Total 53,000 -81- 1992 The Parish still needs to raise approximately $77,000 in order to match the NPS grant required tocomplete the project. I have spoken with Ms. Dorothy Gray, representing the Parish, and she has informed me she has requested funding from the Kenai Peninsula Borough, our local legislative delegation, the Kenai Soldotna Rotary Clubs, and others. I respectfully request the Kenai City Council direct the administration to prepare an ordinance which would provide a grant in the amount of $10,000 to the Kenai Russian Orthodox Church to assist in providing the needed match for the "Save America's Treasures" federal grant administered by the NPS.

ICAC involves a network of law enforcement agencies who investigate internet crimes against children. Participating agencies also provide awareness and prevention education in the community. The ICAC regional coordinator in Anchorage has agreed to reimbursement the Kenai Police Department for an investigator to attend forensic electronic data training in Anchorage. The Police Transportation account was significantly depleted this budget year, largely due to an officer currently attending polygraph school. I am requesting an ordinance appropriating $602 into the Police Transportation account to cover the electronic data training costs in March of 2010.

DEPARTMENT 107 SOUTH WILLOW STREET KENAI, AK 99611 Telephone (907) 283 -7879 Fax (907) 283 -2267 LO NDUM The need for a second Department ATV larger than our standard 4wheeler has particularly manifested itself during the past two Dipnet seasons, and was proven beneficial with the use of a Polaris Rangerowheeler, borrowed from AWT during July 2009. The benefit of the larger ATV included dual Officer occupancy in a protective cab, more useable space for gear equipment including a rear cargo bed which caned traffic cones, gas cans, miscellaneous multi department supplies, and a medical emergency victim from their tent to the waiting ambulance that could not navigate the beach. A comparative analysis of several "side -by- side" ATVs was done, comparing similar models by Honda, Polaris, Yamaha, and John Deere. Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, Suzuki,.& Argo were also researched but did not have models similar to the others. Consideration was given to ease of operability, maintenance, specs, online reviews, and cost; the Yamaha Rhino and Polaris Ranger rose to the top of the list. While the MSRP is similar the feature -to- feature comparison showed the Polaris Ranger to match/exceed the Rhino in: Fuel capacity, engine displacement, transmission, front rear suspension, front rear brakes, front rear tires, wheelbase, length/width/height, ground clearance, bed box dimension capacity, hitch towing rating, and warranty. Ranger models best suited for our consideration are 800XP, 800HD, and 800 Crew. Of these, the 800XP appears to offer the most "bang for your buck" in overall practical application to suit our purpose without extra bells whistles. The Polaris Ranger XP is built standard with a. three person seat, which could assist in transporting medics, patients, and other personnel /people for dipnet related activities; the Yamaha Rhino comes with only two bucket seats. *2009 Yamaha Rhino 700 PI Auto 4x4 999 to $11,549 2010 Polaris Ranger 800XP $10,999 -86- Yamaha }chino Polaris XP Ranger 800XP optional accessories relevant for purchase consideration include a windshield, roof, rear panel, external storage box, winch, and plow. Windshield options: auto quality glass ($650), general purpose optical -grade polyca; bonate ($350), poly "hard coat" for extra abrasion resistance ($450). Roof options: Steel ($600), Polyethylene ($450). Rear panel options: Steel ($800), Poly ($500). Cargo box: Polaris 20 -gal bed box (5300). Winch: Polaris integrated 4500# (5700). Plow: Standard ATV winch integrated plow ($1200) Adding a windshield to the ATV would give frontal protection to driver /occupant(s); a. roof would provide added protection from overhead environmental eleu,ents. A rear panel would neutralize the low pressure area inherent behind a windshield -only open cab. A winch provides an option for off -road retrieval, and a plow rounds out the multi season functionality of the ATV by adding the option for snow removal, vital to our parking lots between November —April, The external cargo box (Polaris) custom fits into the bed behind the cab or along a sidewall and is lockable for secure gear storage. -87- The purchase of a 2010 Polaris 800XP, described accessories (above), at MSRP, is expected to be between $12,999 $15.249. Written quotes were solicited from 3 Polaris dealers, A -1 Enterprises (Soldotna), Homer Saw Cycle (Homer), and Alaska Power Sports (Anchorage), and all three responded; their respective written quotes are attached to this memo.

We deeply appreciate the partnership of the City of Kenai in these projects. Here is a snapshot of where the homes are at this time: 1100 2 St. This home is competed and now under contract for sale. The sale is scheduled for early April. 1102 2 St. This home has plumbing, heating and electrical completed and ready for insulation and vapor barrier. This will be the focus of our summer projects with a goal of completing this house. 1104 2 St. The home is dried in and will be our focus once the 1102 home is completed. Though we had the human resources to move the projects all along further, our capital dried up in the credit crisis during the fall of 2008. A local bank had committed $250,000 of financing that was reneged in October '08. This left AEC to scramble for additional funding. The solution for our capital needs came in the way of a S 1.00,000 loan from an organizational partner. The terms of this agreement were that we would use the funds to complete the 1100 home and then roll the capital into the 1102 project followed by the 1104 house. Contingent in this plan, however, is the sale of each home in order for us to move the capital over to the next project. Thus far 14 students have participated in the construction of these houses. As you may remember, our construction projects are dubbed "Houses of Hope," as we believe that learning construction trade skills represent an opportunity for us to infuse hope into the lives of our high risk Native young adult students. We value the contribution of each student and trust their time working on these homes has benefitted these students in their journey towards a career. Unless something significant happens to the economy and it made sense to construct spec homes again, 1 do not foresee AEC pursuing construction of the 1106 and 1108 homes. We are in dialogue with housing providers and Native organizations regarding future projects. If any of these agencies were interested in homes on those additional lots, we might be interested in them once again. Rev. Mark Hill CEO P.Q.

This is one of the many benefits we are able to provide to you with regards to your membership. We hope this directory is helpful to you as you do business on both the local and state level. We appreciate your involvement in AML and together we can do much more than we could do on our own. Thanks to your active input, we have become a much stronger organization We still, however, have much to do. Fuel costs have hampered all municipalities. The economic slowdown is also affecting us and affecting the communities that we govern. As local elected officials, you are often looked to for the answers. Hopefully, we can be of assistance in helping you provide those much needed answers. If you have any concerns relating to your local government, please feel free to call us at any time. We just completed our Legislative Conference in Juneau. At that time, we finalized our priorities. We have included a copy of those for you. The staff will be working diligently to maintain our Revenue Sharing again, this year. It looks, so far, as if we will be successful. We will also be monitoring the PERS/TRS issue. New, increased time and effort will again be put into transportation and energy this year. We will also, this year, be putting much valuable time into stopping the Gag Law. That law will be on the August 24 primary ballot in the state of Alaska. We all need to vote a resounding "NO" on that issue. It will put a stop to municipalities communicating with their Legislators! We need your help and involvement. Thanks for all you do.

CAREY BOROUGH MAYOR. THRU: avid R Carey, Borough Mayor FROM John Mohorcich, Director, Donald E. Gilman River Center DATE: February 12, 2010 SUBJECT: Ordinance 2010- 14 KPB Chapter 21.18 review and recommendations ICPB 21.18.030 calls for a regular review of the benefits and effectiveness of KPB 21.18. In preparation for this review the borough supported a study completed by the Kenai Watershed Forum, (KWF) in 2009. All of the KWF reports and findings are available on the Donald E Gilman River Center web site IS.//www.kenairivercenter.org/workinggoap/index.html. Attached is the second round of proposed revisions to the habitat protection ordinance as part of the Phase 1 review process. The nn d inance for introduction includes proposed changes to four separate sections of the existing code: 21.18.070(A) activities not requiring a permit, 21.18.070(B)(3), abdicating to the federal and state government; 21.18.070(B)(4) and (5), height and light requirements; and 21,18.070(B)(6), fish cleaning table standards. The rationale supporting each proposed revision is detailed in the power point presentation included in the assembly packet. As part of the code review process, staff has presented power point presentations to the KPB 21.18 Interest Group, the ICPB Planning Commission, and to the Kenai River Special Management Area Board regarding the recommended changes to KPB 21.18.070. Staff s proposed recommendations are based on shortcomings of current code language, our experience in the field, research of similar municipal codes, goals and policies of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Comprehensive Plan, and public input through the 21.18 Interest Group. Staff will continue to work closely with the Planning Commission and Interest Group, which in turn will provide valuable specific recommendations. 41,9- IPB 21.18 Items for Review 21.18.070 Activities Not Requiring a Permit 21.18.070(B)(3) Abdicating to Feds State 21.18.070(B)(4) Height Light Requirements 21.18.070(B) (6) Fish Cleaning Stations KPB .21.18.070 Activities not Current Ordinance Language: A. The activities specified in this section may be conducted within the habitat protection area zone without obtaining a permit from the borough under this chapter. This section in no way waives or modifies the necessity of adherence to other provisions of the KPB code, including KPB 2106 (flood plain management), or requirements of a permit from federal, state or local governments. Conduct of activities listed in this section are expressly conditioned upon obtaining all applicable permits. Conduct of activity without obtaining necessary permits shall be considered a violation of this chapter, subject to the provisions of Section 2118.110." B. The following activities, to the extent they do not result in significant erosion or damage to riparian habitat, or result in or increase ground or water pollution, do not require the issuance of a permit under this chapter. Purpose of Proposed Code Change: To be consistent with current practice of writing "permits" for allowable activities To ensure Borough standards are followed To better inventory and follow development within the habitat protection area. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of the code. To provide consistency with other permitting agencies To be consistent with standard planning zoning practice of listing allowable, conditional and prohibited uses, activities and structures. 21.18.070(A B) Recommended Language 21.18.071. Staff permits. A. A permit shall be obtained before commencement of certain activities, uses and structures set forth in this section if they do not result in erosion, damage to the district, or an increase in ground or water pollution. An application for a permit shall be made to the Kenai Peninsula Borough at the River Center. Upon determination that the submitted information of record supporting the permit application meets the terms of this chapter, staff shall issue a permit for the following activities, uses and structures in the habitat protection district: KPB 21.18.070(B)(3) Abdicating to Federal State Governments KPB 21 18.070(B)(3) Abdicating to Fede* a l State Governments Current Ordinance Language: "Construction, installation, repair and maintenance of ladders, steps, cantilevered walkways, platforms, docks, and bank restoration and protection and maintenance dredging that are regulated by and require a permit from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, State Parks Division, and the Alaska Department of Fish Game, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies. The activity must comply with all conditions and regulations imposed on such activity. -122- Purpose of Proposed Code Change: re Currently, the Borough gives up its power to regulate activities in this section even if the state and federal agencies refuse or fail to act. The Borough assumes that these other jurisdictions are not only competent but willing to step into the void of responsibility ceded by the Borough The Borough should retain its power to protect its environment and independently evaluate and permit projects based on the standards that it has developed. Remove this section from the code. 423- 21.18.070(B)(3) Recommendation KPB 21.18.07O(B)(4) Height Light Requirements KPB 21.18.070(B)(4) Height u ,1 reme L7.('.Zg'�i CX. Light Requirements Current Ordinance Standards: Boardwalks with 25 to 75% light penetration must be 18" off ground Boardwalks with over 75% light penetration must be 8" off ground Boardwalks must be no longer than one -third of frontage and no wider than 8 -feet -124 Staff Observations: IN Through the installation of ELPs (used to maintain vegetation and banks), we often cut down vegetation and damage or remove habitat. Often the vegetation that is removed is overhanging vegetation that provides great habitat for fish but that is a nuisance for fishermen. In some cases, property owners are better served by steps /stairs to the riverbed rather than long, edge -of -bank boardwalks. Boardwalks supported by legs that rest on the ground do less damage to the bank than driven posts. The code should make it clear that there may not be more than a single, bank- parallel ELP in the habitat protection area (regardless of its distance from OHW). Staff Observations: We rarely see an 8 -foot wide walkway, and the amount of disturbance they create is large. Should we be requiring/encouraging access ELPs across wet areas or steep slopes when we receive an application for a riverfront ELP? (To prevent erosion and to address water quality issues) There is no provision in the code for the first step or the edge of a walkway on a slope to be close to ground level. Leads to unsafe structures, especially for those who may have physical limitations.

Fish cleaning stations are currently allowed, but there are no height, light, location or size requirements or standards. 21.18.070(B)(6) Recommended Language A single fish- cleaning station may be constructed provided it has no enclosed sides or roof and that any shelf below the fish cleaning surface must be at least 60 percent light penetrating and be elevated at least 8 inches from the ground.
