Thank you for participating in the City of Kenai Comprehensive Strategic Planning Session on
April 23, 2011. It was exciting to see community members come together to plan for the future of the
City. Approximately 80 people participated in the session and there were lots of issues and ideas
discussed. The facilitators reviewed ideas from each group and prepared a list of key issues. These key
issues wit provide guidance in drafting goals for the plan. Objectives to meet the goals will address
specific ideas. There will be several processes involved in the development of the Plan including public
meetings, a scientific survey, and a web -based survey to list a few.
Key Issues
Y Review zoning for present and future and use to provide for:
• Residential
• Commercial
• Conservation
• Recreation
• Industrial
• Commercial /business sectors
• Townsite Historic
Y Support public transportation on the Kenai Peninsula.
• Promote increased recreational opportunities /activities for the community, especially youth.
• Support development of a trail system for pedestrian /biking activities.
Y Halt erosion of the Kenai River bluff.
Y Promote consistent enforcement of ordinances and zoning.
Topics identified during the visioning process that did not appear in responses to the two key questions:
> Support senior housing
Y Develop cemetery
Y Protect fisheries and wildlife
➢ Develop City -wide Wi -Fi
➢ Development of airport and airport industrial park
Y Revise subdivision code
• Review landscape standards
Y Enhance landscaping in public right -of -ways

Attached to this letter are tables showing the top three issues from each group in response to the two key
questions. All of the ideas from the groups can be reviewed through a link on the City's web page
www.ci.kenai.ak.us under "Hot Topics." As future meetings are scheduled, we will send notices and
place advertisements in the newspaper and on the City's web site. We hope you will be able to continue
to participate in this worthwhile project. If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact me.
