LOCAL PRESERVATION ORDINANCES: 1. There was one (1) amendment to Kenai Municipal Code during 2011 that affected the City's Historic District: • Ordinance No. 2585 -2011 – Adopting updated Zoning and Land Use maps for the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Kenai. • Additional activity in the City's Historic District included: o Two Preliminary Plats o Conditional Use Permit – Medical Clinic o Variance – Oversized Building – Medical Clinic Other Ordinances were approved, but did not affect the City's Historic District B. LOCAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR BOARD: The City of Kenai's Planning and Zoning Commission assumed preservation responsibilities in January 2001. Current Commission members are as follows: Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission as of 12/31/11 MEMBER POSITION Phil Bryson Commissioner Henry Knackstedt Commissioner Karen Koester Commissioner Kurt Rogers Commissioner James Rowell Commissioner Clifford Smith Commissioner Jeff Twait Chair Tim Navarre Council Person —Ad Hoc 1. Alan Boraas, Ph.D., continues to remain available to the Board to fulfill the needs of the archaeologist. Bill Kluge, a former Historic District Board member, will consult on architectural issues. Jane Haigh, Ph.D., a history professor at Kenai Peninsula College, continues to provide historical expertise to the Planning Commission in matters of historic preservation. 2. Planning and Zoning Commissioners have not been asked to provide statements of occupation and/or expertise. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission had a fully seated Commission for the entire year. 4. The Planning and Zoning Commission meets bi- monthly, the second and fourth Wednesday. The February 9th was cancelled due to lack of agenda items. The November 23`d and December 28th meetings were cancelled due to holidays. All other meetings were held as scheduled. Copies of the agendas and minutes are attached. 5. The Commission did not formally participate in any CLG training or conferences during 2011. C. SURVEY AND INVENTORY OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES: 1. In July 1996, Preservation North completed the survey of the Townsite Historic District, which was funded through a CLG grant. The area surveyed was approximately 70 acres and included 32 properties in the Townsite Historic District and 12 properties in the adjacent area. 2. Thirty -two historic properties were surveyed. AHRS cards were completed for these properties. 3. This was the first survey of historic properties for the City of Kenai. The survey cataloged historic properties providing the City with information as to what properties existed, their condition, owner, etc. This information will be used when revising or preparing development guidelines for the historic district. For the properties surveyed, there were 28 different property owners. D. PRESERVATION PLANNING ACTIVITIES: 1. The City of Kenai's Preservation Plan was completed in 1998 and approved by Kenai City Council Resolution No. 98 -71. The Preservation Plan was updated in 2007. Review of the development requirements in the zone will be conducted when the Commission feels it's appropriate. E. NATIONAL REGISTER PROGRAM PARTICIPATION: 1. The CLG did not evaluate any properties for listing on the National Register of Historic Properties during 2011. F. PROTECTION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES: 1. In 2011, restoration began on The Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church (AHRS #KEN036) (the Church). The Church received a "Save America's Treasures Grant" to be administered by the National Parks Service for restoration and preservation of the landmark. The $125,492 Federal Grant required a local match of $129,895. The City waived all fees for the project. G. PUBLIC EDUCATION PROJECTS: 1. The City of Kenai continues to maintain the walking tour signs in the Townsite Historic zone. This ongoing educational project continues in cooperation with the Kenai Visitor's and Cultural Center. H. HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT ACTIVITIES: 1. In 2010, the City of Kenai applied for a $20,000 CLG Historic Preservation Fund grant to provide additional funding necessary to complete the restoration project of the historic Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai. The Church has been working with the National Park Service (NPS) to fund the stabilization of the church and to install an ADA accessible ramp and fire and alarm systems. During the project, asbestos was discovered that required remediation. This cost, $35,000.00, was not anticipated in the original project. Without additional funding the Church may not be able to complete the entire project including the ADA accessible ramp and fire and alarm systems. In January 2011, the City received notification the proposed project, as described, was not eligible for HPF, but that a second grant cycle was being offered and the City was encouraged to submit a proposal or project that would fit HPF eligibility criteria. In February 2011, the City submitted a revised application. The application sought funding for design and engineering of alarm and fire suppression systems and of an outbuilding for mechanical equipment. In May 2011, the City received notice the City of Kenai was granted $8,000 for the proposed project but the funding was contingent on funding appropriations. In August, the City was notified additional funding was available and the grant was being funded for in the amount of $21,300.00. 2. The City Kenai has waived all building permit fees for the Church restoration projects. The total amount of fees waived to date is $2,052.00. OTHER PRESERVATION ACTIVITIES: 1. In prior years' reports it has been noted the City hopes to complete a park at the location of the Shk'ituk't Village sign (constructed in 1996 as part of a CLG grant). This is located at a parking area overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River. The site is a popular area for people to view the mouth of the river. No further activity has occurred in this regard. The City maintains the parking area and signage and the area is used during the summer by local residents and tourists to view the Kenai River and area mountains. It is anticipated that any further development of this site will be postponed until the bluff erosion issue has been solved. (No Change) 2. The City of Kenai continues collaboration with the Corps of Engineers to identify a solution to solve the ongoing bluff erosion. The original concept included a bluff stabilization project as well as a walking trail. There has been some concern during the discussion with agencies relating to the walking trail. During October 2008, the Corps of Engineers presented design alternatives derived as result of studies and agency coordination. The preferred alternative does not include the walking trail as originally designed but may include a trail for possible bird viewing and maintenance of the proposed trail. The City is continuing to seek funding and support for the construction of the revetment. (The City has identified this project on the City's Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for a number of years. In the 2007 election voters approved a bond proposition for 2- million dollars for construction.) Attached is a Power Point presentation that was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission in September 2011. The information in this presentation provides an up -to -date status on the bluff erosion project. 3. In the fall of 2009, the City of Kenai received the donation of a large metal gazebo. The City placed the gazebo in the area of the Shk'ituk't site for the use of the numerous citizens who visit the area. (No change) 4. Relocation of Historical Cabins - About 1967, the City of Kenai leased Russian Orthodox Church land adjacent to the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church Kenai rectory and constructed the Fort Kenay building as a part of the centennial observation of the purchase of Alaska from Russia. Over the next several years the City, with the assistance of the Kenai Historical Society, moved four early Kenai cabins and an old cannon onto the Church property to preserve them and make them available for public viewing. The Kenai Historical Society furnished one of the cabins through donations of items from local residents. When the City of Kenai relinquished its lease of Fort Kenay, the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church became the owner of Fort Kenay and the relocated cabins. In order to maintain the cabins and to make them accessible to the general public, the City of Kenai and the Kenai Historical Society requested ownership of the cabins returned to the City of Kenai and the Diocese of Sitka and Alaska agreed to return ownership to the City of Kenai. The Rasmuson Foundation awarded a grant to move the cabins and cannon. The project included, site preparation, repairs, fencing, foundations, and utilities. In January 2010, the City notified the State Historic Preservation Officer the annual survey had been updated to include the relocation of the cabins to the new site at 816 Cook Avenue. The following five (5) historic cabins were relocated: o Relocated from 1104 Mission Avenue: • KEN -265 — Arness Cabin • KEN266 — 3 Scandinavians Cabin • KEN267 — Sanders Cabin "Cabin 3" • KEN -268 — Miller Cabin o Relocated from 814 Riverview Avenue: • KEN -278 — Dolchok/Juliussen Cabin The Kenai Historical Society, City of Kenai and other entities worked together during the summer of 2009 to prepare the site and relocate the cabins. Prior to relocation, a log smith was contacted who assisted in the planning of the project. The cabins had to be carefully raised and some rotten logs on the bottom replaced. The replacement logs were carefully selected, hewn, and placed to protect the stability of the structures. The leveling of the cabins, wooden walkways and fencing were delayed some due to the difficulty of finding 12 sound dry logs. Dedication of the new site was held on July 4th, 2010. The museum project continued into the summer of 2010. The fencing and some landscaping were completed in August, 2010. In 2011, the final inspection of the cabins was conducted, walk ways were constructed, and landscaping completed. During the summer months, the Historical Society schedules appointments for tours of the site.
