Subject: Pamphlet
To Council Person Molloy: I have these comments concerning the pamphlet
1. The answer to the first question is greatly misleading. Specifically, the sentences: "The City of Kenai
adopted the most recent Compreshensive Plan in 2003. That plan specifically identified the need to
address the use of conditional use permits and rezones for commercial development for properties along
the Kenai Spur Highway." - can not be supported by the wording of the Comprehensive Plan and I would
like to see a reference. Further, the Plan did identify areas where neighborhood commercial could be
zoned. .'one of those areas are in the recent rezone. Please see Maps 10 and 11. Further KCC
14.05.010(a)(3) requires:
Review the City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis and conduct a minimum of
one (1) public hearing. Said recommendations shall be forwarded to the Council for
consideration.
This code section has not been followed but even recent changes have not effected the rezone area.
2. The question on the mill rate is saying, in effect, that whether the mill rate goes up or not is not our
problem. We are blaming that on the Borough although the City will benefit greatly by an increased
valuation but that is not mentioned.
3. The question concerning landscaping is again misleading. Who characterized the LC Zone as
beneficial. Do the residents there agree with this classification and have they been given notice of this
classificaiton and opportunty to respond?
4. Commercial signs and Magic Ave extension are red herrings. They have not been an issue in public
hearings.
5. Questions should be asked with pro and con answers a) does the rezone confrom to the
Comprehensive Plan and b) where is the transisition from commercial to residential take place that
requires the LC Zone. Access roads are contemplated because of safety problems. Who is going to pay
for these improvements which would include an overhead walkway like Fairbanks.
6. The chart showing differences in the RR1 Zone and LC Zone does not include restaurants, dry cleaner
and self service laundries and massage therapists as they are all permitted uses. The 3000 square feet
limitation does not stop a fast food vendor from setting up across from the high school
7. As Mrs. Espy previously pointed out in public testimony, the land use chart is inaccurate and
misleading. There are 22 families living in the rezoned area.
8. The pictures are misleading as only one of them was taken in the rezoned area and that shows a view
in the wrong direction. The rezoned area is not shown and the school should be included.
9. The box containing the "A Yes Vote" is colored red. Red is universially recognized at an indication of
danger or stop. It is located below the No box indicating inferior. The Yes fades into the color red.
10. The box containing the "A No Vote" is blue which is universially recognized as calmness, loyalty and
importance. The NO stands out over the blue and the very words City Council adds priority over the no
as No is identified with an entity and yes is not identified with anyone. To be impartial and using the
same thought the yes box should be worded. "A Yes vote affirms the MAPS residents referendum
to return the rezone to RRI"
11. The boxes should be side by side using the same background and foreground colors.
