Council Member Ross MOVED approval of Substitute Ordinance No. 2268-2007 and
Council Member Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Council Member Ross MOVED to amend with the language included in the lay down
provided by the City Attorney and Council Member Eldridge SECONDED the motion.
(Clerk's Note: The language included in the lay down was to amend KMC 03.16.0206) of
Substitute Ordinance No. 2268-2007 as follows:
Notification of the renewal application shall be mailed to real property owners of the
borough assessor's records within a three hundred (300) foot periphery of the parcel
affected if the renewal contains a change in the number of dogs, a significant change in
the terms and conditions of the permit or if the Chief Animal Control Officer determines it
is in the best interest of the public.)
The floor was opened for public hearing.
Patricia Stringer, Chief Animal Control Officer, City of Kenai -- Stated she had
received a lot of input with regard to kennel licensing concerns and believed the
suggested amendments to the ordinance would be helpful to her in performing her
duties.
Council discussion followed with Stringer and comments included:
• There were currently eight non-commercial kennel licenses held and no
commercial licenses.
• Current code stated more than three dogs in a household requires a
kennel license; if there would be a commercial business, licensing would go through
Planning & Zoning; the current code requires a primary inspection for care and
welfare of the animals; and with the new wording, a new kennel license would require
notification of neighbors through Planning & Zoning.
• In the past two years, there were two complaints made for noise, however
all the kennel -licensed facilities were very well kept.
• Current procedures work well, however the amendments would allow
noticing of neighbors for new licenses and/or change of number or types of dogs.
Katherine Brooks, 38062 Rainbow, Soldotna -- Brooks stated she did not live in
Kenai, had hobby dogs for showing, educating in the schools, etc., and was not
supportive of the ordinance.
Sherry Petty, 820 Set Net Drive, Kenai -- Petty stated she had a licensed kennel,
used her dogs for teaching obedience, etc.; noted pets were considered personal
property and did not believe a neighbor would have a legal right to intercede; liked the
current ordinance; and, believed the suggested amended ordinance was inconsistent.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 5, 2007
PAGE 4
Karen Koester, 845 Set Net Drive, Kenai -- Stated she did not believe the current
ordinance language considered people, only dogs; believed the amendment language
would allow for early discussion; and, stated she supported the substitute.
Gwen Bennett, 304 Linwood Lane, Kenai -- Stated she was a licensed kennel with
five dogs and asked if the change of breed language would be a part of the new code.
It was explained, the type of breed had been removed in the amendment.
Don Erwin, 603 Fathom Drive, Kenai -- Stated he reviewed the ordinance and
believed, if passed, it would add another layer of government; believed the current
ordinance covered all concerns; pets were not the problem, the individual owners
were; and, the current ordinance should remain.
Greg Daniels, 426 Rogers Road, Kenai -- Stated he believed it was common sense to
ask neighbors about kennel impact to them and supported the substitute ordinance.
Bill Osborn, 423 Rogers road, Kenai -- Stated he supported the substitute
ordinance.
Alison Williams, Mile 16.5 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai -- Stated she was not a city
resident; if she were a resident, it would cost her $140 a year to have four dogs; and,
as an individual with dogs and not commercial, she did not support the ordinance.
Rhonda Peterkin-Oglesby, Box 1602, Soldotna -- Noted there was nothing in the
code related to the number of cats one could own; believed it would add another layer
of government; and, it was a non -problem.
Susan Lovett, 604 Laurel Street, Kenai -- Noted she was one of the eight licensed
kennels; because of a past issue, she felt the current code worked well; did not
support the substitute; and, suggested an amendment to differentiate between a
commercial and hobby kennels.
Garnet Sarks, 110 Birch Street, Kenai -- Noted she was one of the eight licensed
kennels; hers was a hobby kennel; and did not support the ordinance.
There being no further requests to be heard, the public hearing was closed.

MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Council discussion followed with comments including:
• Notification would not be required with change in breed of dog.
• Belief the ordinance required more work, i.e. difference between
commercial, kennel, and pet owners; who would have the burden of proof was not
clear; and, if there would be a difference between hearings held for pet owners or
commercial businesses.
• Satisfaction with the ordinance, i.e. it addressed notifications, there was
trust in judgment of administration in making decisions, and there was recourse for
appeal.
• Current ordinance was working; there had not been significant problems
over the last years; initial application notification would be beneficial; and, the
ordinance should differentiate between commercial and non-commercial kennels.
• Support for the substitute because it would apply only to people applying
for a new permit.
• Would be beneficial to differentiate whether commercial or personal
operation.

Norm Blakely, 35440 Sterling Highway, Soldotna -- Mr. Blakely spoke in opposition
to the ordinance noting areas needing to be clarified including age of employees, need
for both state and city license, bond requirement, hours of operation being regulated,
etc. He suggested he meet with administration to discuss his concerns.
Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police, 107 South Willow Street, Kenai -- Kopp commented
on Blakley's concerns and reviewed reasons why it was felt the code amendment was
needed, i.e. as a safeguard from people who traffic stolen property and assist in
protecting pawnshops in Kenai and the community. Kopp encouraged passage of the
ordinance.
