b. Reconsideration of Prime Residential Zone-PZ96-41
Chairman Walker explained that the Commission had before them reconsideration of
PZ96-41 which is a resolution recommending approval to the City Council the
establishment of a prime residential zone to be added to the zones listed in Title 14 of
the Kenai Municipal Code. Walker stated this item is already before the Commission
as result of the reconsideration vote.
Walker asked for additional staff comment. La Shot stated he had spoken with Phil
Bryson regarding a couple items in the table. La Shot drew attention to page 102 of the
Development Requirements Table. La Shot suggested that the word "and" be removed
under the column of uses in the far left, minimum lot area, that says with and without
public water and/or sewer. La Shot suggested that underneath "without" the word
"and" be removed. La Shot stated it should probably say "public water or sewer." La
Shot stated that they had also discussed that under the far right hand column that
some square footage should be considered to be put in the table. La Shot added that
perhaps they had intended that there not be an RP zone without public water or sewer;
however, La Shot stated he thought there could be in a rural area. La Shot commented
these were just a couple things for the commission to think about.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED:
Michael Christian, 613 Maple-Christian stated he is the person who has been
trying to implement this and bring this about along with the committee who is behind
him. Christian stated he would like to continue to stress that the city needs something
like this. Christian stated he thinks the city needs a residential zone with only single
family dwellings, a zone without conditional permits for businesses and other types of
things, a residential zone without bed and breakfast or the possibilities of other
activities going on. Christian stated these are the things they had tried to address.
Christian stated he didn't think they should include something that would allow onsite
sewer and water and that was one of the points of the zone to have them connected to
city water and sewer. Christian stated that was a main objective with single family
dwellings. Christian recommended that that not be changed. If there is still a question
in people's minds on the size of the lots or the tree provision, Christian stated he
thought that would be something that would be worth looking at again if that is their
only objection. Christian stated he felt that they should keep it that this zone should be
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2
Minutes July 24, 1996
connected to city sewer and water and single family dwellings with very little
possibility of conditional use other than single family dwellings.
Walker asked if the Commission had questions for Mr. Christian. Walker stated he had
a question, that is, where specifically would you like to see this zone utilized? Christian
stated within the city limits, he didn't think with the city sewer and water system that
the city has that they should allow onsite when utilities are anywhere reasonably near.
Christian stated he would personally like to see areas on the other side of the airport
where there are numerous areas that he has suggested as possible sites. Christian
stated he would like to see it in just about any undeveloped area where there are nice,
wooded areas that could be turned into residential areas. Christian stated maybe the
Section 36 would be a good place, especially on the bluff. Christian stated the 160 acres
next to Inlet Woods on either side of it would be good places. Christian stated that the
area they are trying to get the city to buy but if they can't that would be a good area.
Christian commented that he thinks they need this and would like to start by getting it
on the books and looking for areas that it would fit.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
Item brought back to the Commission for discussion. Bryson stated that concerning his
discussion with Mr. La Shot about the changes in the column under "Uses" on page 5 of
6, in reading the verbiage it says "with public water and/or sewer" and below that it is
"without public water and/or sewer." Bryson stated that "with public water and/or
sewer" gives three options. Having both water and sewer, having just water, or having
just sewer. Bryson stated the line that says "without public water and/or sewer" has
three options also, without either water or sewer, without just water, or without just
sewer. Bryson stated that two of those cases in each of those, they overlap on the other
definition. Bryson stated that for that reason he discussed a change in those column
definitions to make those lines exclusive to eliminate argument.
BRYSON PROPOSED THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT NOTING THE
MOTION BEFORE THE COMMISSION IS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION PZ96-
41 AS IT PRESENTLY READS.
UNDER USES ON PAGE 5 OF 6, CHANGE THE THIRD LINE TO READ "WITH
BOTH PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER." SECOND PART OF THE
AMENDMENT, PROPOSE CHANGING TO READ "WITHOUT PUBLIC WATER
OR SEWER."
Bryson stated he would propose changing lot areas but would address that later.
MOTION SECONDED BY GLICK.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3
Minutes July 24, 1996
Walker asked if there was discussion on the amendment. Mahurin asked if Bryson
could explain noting she was not understanding and thought this was covered under
the "with" and now they would be adding a third one. Walker questioned, "We're
adding a third one?" Mahurin stated she was unclear what the proposition was.
Bryson stated there are two sub paragraphs to his amendment. The first one is the
column under "Uses" the line that presently reads "with public water and/or sewer,"
propose changing to "with both public water and sewer." The column under "Uses" the
line that reads "without public water and/or sewer" is proposed to be changed to read
"without public water or sewer."
Chairman Walker asked for further discussion. None noted, Walker asked for the vote
to be called. Mahurin clarified Walker asking for the question to be called as she had
not heard the motion. Walker clarified it had been a motion by Bryson that was
seconded by Glick.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT 1:
BRYSON YES WERNER-QUADE YES
GOECKE YES MAHURIN YES
GLICK YES WALKER YES
AMENDMENT PASSED.
Chairman Walker stated that brought the Commission back to the main motion.
Bryson stated he had an additional comment noting that the same situation in
terminology may exist on the next section below that. Bryson added that he hadn't
looked at that, that being under minimum multi-family lot areas. Walker noted that
under this proposed zone there would not be any multi-family dwellings. Bryson stated
that this would need to be corrected. La Shot asked if the amendment would eliminate
the possibility of having one of the municipal services noting the first part of the
amendment would be without public water or sewer. La Shot stated the and/or was
meant to be either one or the other. Bryson stated staff may want to look at this noting
his intent was to have one be eliminated. La Shot asked what the wording was on the
first part, "with both public water and sewer." La shot noted this would eliminate the
possibility of one. Bryson stated it does in his mind but it may not in a legal mind.
Mahurin stated she needed a clarification adding that maybe she didn't understand
this. Mahurin asked the Chair for guidance adding that she supports the idea of the
residential zone with public water and sewer. Mahurin stated she understood that
what Mr. Bryson did is that under certain lot sizes they would have to have both water
and sewer and on a different lot size, they could have one or the other. Mahurin stated
she understood they would not be eliminating that possibility and asked if she was
correct in her understanding. Walker stated that is correct adding that lot size is blank
at this point in time.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4
Minutes July 24, 1996
Bryson stated he would propose another amendment. BRYSON PROPOSED
CHANGING THE LOT AREAS UNDER THE RP ZONE. THE LOT SIZE ON
LINE LISTED WITH BOTH PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER PROPOSE
CHANGING FROM 15,000 SQUARE FEET TO 8,000 SQUARE FEET. IN THE
LOT AREA LEFT BLANK ON THE LINE WITHOUT PUBLIC WATER OR
SEWER PROPOSE ENTERING 20,000 SQUARE FEET.
WALKER CLARIFIED IF THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A MOTION. BRYSON
CONFIRMED.
MOTION SECONDED BY GLICK.
Walker asked for discussion on the motion. None noted. Walker asked if there would
be any objection to opening this amendment to public input. Bryson stated he would
request it.
Michael Christian-Christian stated he had lost track somewhere noting they were
considering reducing the lot size to 8,000. Christian asked if this was correct for
connection to city water. Christian noted this isn't very far from the 7,200 which is
already in the RS and RS2. Christian asked what the point was to having a new zone if
you go down that low. The only difference would be requiring paved streets and gutters
and the tree thing. They are still tiny little lots. Christian stated he doesn't see the
point of it. He would like to see the lot size up, the on-site septic and/or water totally
out of this zone. Christian noted that is allowed in other residential zones. This is to a
zone that is special, unique, something that people would want to buy in this area
because they know they will not have a conditional use next to them, know they will
have city water and sewer. Christian stated he strongly recommends, suggests, or
pushes that we keep the lot sizes up and keep on-site water and sewer out of this zone.
Christian stated if they drop them down this far, just go with the RS-1 or RS-2 and
make them single family dwellings and throw the whole thing out. Christian stated he
felt they had cut this down at the knees and it is not the same zone anymore.
Kristine Schmidt-Stated she wanted to say that she agrees with Mike, what he said
about trying to keep the lot sizes larger and also to do away with allowing any kind of
on-site water and septic. Schmidt stated she was not quite sure where they were at and
asked if it is 20,000 square feet now. (From the audience, Christian stated the way it
was passed it was 20,000.) Schmidt stated they had said earlier they would be willing
to go down some but not all the way down to 8,000. Schmidt stated that is just too
small with what people are trying to do with this zone.
Chairman Walker clarified for Ms. Schmidt's information that the zone that was
presented this evening shows 15,000 square feet.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5
Minutes July 24, 1996
Malcolm McBride, 1111 5th Avenue-McBride stated he would encourage that the
lot sizes remain as large as possible in that area and that well and septic be
discouraged in that area. McBride stated that the well water in that area is marginal
quality and septic, considering the low water table in the area, tends to affect well
water in that area. McBride stated that if there is to be new construction, it should be
on city water and sewer.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
Item brought back to the Commission for discussion.
Bryson stated his intent on changing the lot sizes that comes on the line with both
public water and sewer is to enable the vast majority of the people who are petitioning
to create this district to be able to be included in this district which they would
otherwise be unable to do. Bryson stated his intent on adding on the line that with only
public water or sewer is that this is an ordinance that will affect he entire city and a
good half of the city is not on city water and sewer and in some cases they consist of
very nice subdivisions and they are very much interested in maintaining that lifestyle
and they presently have the same problem with multi-family dwellings. This would
enable them to utilize that resolution for protection. Bryson reiterated this is an
ordinance for the whole city, not just for one tract or location within the city.
Mahurin stated she would be voting no on this adding if she thought there was any
support, adding she didn't feel there is, she would try to amend it to reach a
compromise between 8,000 and 15,000. Mahurin added that knowing how the vote
went before that she is the lone vote. Mahurin stated she would like to have the record
reflect her previous comments and frustration with the process and with the
reconsideration. Mahurin added that she definitely supports the idea of the prime
residential zone but does not support the amendment to 8,000 square feet.
Walker stated he would like to add a comment noting that he too does not support this
amendment. Walker stated it is his belief that if the city was going to have an area
without water or sewer that is in fact single family that is in fact a premium area then
we should go to the Rural Residential 1 category and go all the way up to 40,000 or one
acre lots. Walker stated he feels that this amendment with the 8,000 square foot lot
size is definitely not what the petitioners had requested. Walker added that he feels
that with the large number of Conditional Use Permits in Woodland and the number of
multiple family dwellings that are already there that that area would have to
grandfather in a lot of non-conforming uses or wouldn't be eligible for it anyway.
Walker stated thus he feels that the 8,000 and 20,000 square feet are basically a moot
point and will not be supporting this amendment.
Mahurin stated she didn't believe that the petitioners have asked to have their current
residential area rezoned. Mahurin added that she felt the discussions that have been
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6
Minutes July 24, 1996
held have clearly indicated that was not the intent to rezone a current existing zone but
to create a new zone. Mahurin stated this has been stated over and over and she would
like to repeat that she has never supported and the petitioners have not asked for it.
Mahurin stated that is not an issue that should be impacting this decision.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT 2:
WERNER-QUADE NO
MAHURIN NO
BRYSON YES
GOECKE NO
GLICK NO
WALKER NO
AMENDMENT FAILED.
Chairman Walker stated that they are back to the main motion as previously amended.
Walker asked for any further discussion.
Werner-Quade stated she had heard comments about not being willing to change very
much of the Prime Residential Zone. Werner-Quade stated she has had some concerns
for quite a while and one was the lot size. Werner-Quade stated she had just heard
them say they did not want to concede to 8,000 adding that she had gone over this in
her mind thinking that maybe they should modify the RS-2 zone. Werner-Quade stated
she agrees there is a need for single family dwellings only. But, as far as creating a
zone that she personally does not see a real need for, it is hard to be supportive of the
Prime Residential Zone as it is now. Werner-Quade commented that in the community
she moved from there was an area that was developed and the people who bought into
the development had the control of the development. Werner-Quade stated it was much
as they had stated they would like the RP to be. Residents had their own key card to
get in, it had the amenities of a beautiful place to live and they had control perhaps
even their own zoning staff. If anything changed, they all had to get together to make a
change. Werner-Quade stated this seems to be more of how she views this. Werner-
Quade added she doesn't see a need now but does see a need to look into the RS-2 zone
and made it as compatible with their needs as possible. Werner-Quade reiterated that
one of her biggest concerns was the lot size. Werner-Quade stated that in all fairness
she just cannot see that kind of a lot size being a viable option for people to buy into or
for developers to pursue it. Werner-Quade stated it was her understanding that
administration had contacted developers asking them their thoughts on the zone and
that there was no response. Kebschull confirmed that there had been no responses
received. Werner-Quade commented she was in a quandary and is unable to support it
in it's current form adding that they need to know that she is not totally against the
vision.
Walker stated he had one comment pertaining to an information item in the packet
under 12 e, "Notice of Public Meetings." Walker asked the Commission to note this
committee adding it is The Committee to Protect Woodland, Inc. Walker read, "We are
currently working on two major projects. One is petitioning the Kenai City Council to
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7
Minutes July 24, 1996
buy or trade Richka Creek property which the developer does not oppose. And two,
lobbying the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to adopt the Prime
Residential Zone which restricts development in the zone to single family residents."
Walker stated that when he read this "Notice of Meetings" it reaffirmed in his belief
that it is the major intent of this proposed zone to restrict development, not enhance
development and perhaps more than anything to stop development within certain
subdivisions of town. Walker stated that does raise serious questions in his mind.
Walker stated he feels this is perhaps the building of Pandora's Box. At this time with
other zones that are even less restrictive on the books such as RS-1 and RS-2 that are
used very little if any at all by any of developers or subdivisions. Walker stated he has
a very strong concern in creating the RP zone to even be further restrictive. Walker
stated he feels it is the intent of this zone to be inflicted upon other persons and not
necessarily the persons that own these properties in which this zone is being utilized.
Walker stated he will not support this zone based on these items.
VOTE MAIN MOTION:
GOECKE NO MAHURIN YES
GLICK YES BRYSON NO
WERNER-QUADE NO WALKER NO
MOTION FAILED.
7. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Landscape/Site Plan Review-Lot 10, Block 2, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park-
PZ96-51
GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-51 SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR
LOT 10, BLOCK 2, COOK INLET INDUSTRIAL AIR PARK. MOTION
SECONDED BY WERNER-QUADE.
Walker asked for additional staff comment. La Shot noted that Mr. VanZee is here if
the Commission would like to ask any questions about the site plan.
Dan VanZee, owner of Lot 10, Block 2, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park-Van Zee
advised they plan to use this property as the office and car sales operation for his Hertz
Rent-A-Car business at the Kenai Airport. The site plan is plain and simple. There
will be planters out front. VanZee noted he does not want to build a traditional car lot
with big signs, he wants it very understated. VanZee stated they would like to have
something like the planters where they can be changed on a seasonal basis. VanZee
noted there are several trees on the lot that they are trying to preserve but there will be
quite a bit of excavation yet to come with the sewer and water and that will come close
to these trees. VanZee noted he is not sure that they will be able to save them and that
is why they were not put in the plan. VanZee added they will try to save the trees that
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8
Minutes July 24, 1996
do exist in front of the lot as a buffer and try to hide the HEA transformer box. VanZee
stated that other than that they want to use landscape timbers to build planter boxes
by the street in back of the right of way. They plan to alternate the planting of
wildflowers and different flowers. VanZee reiterated he wants the lot to be very
understated and simple adding the utilization of flowers will serve his purpose.
Mahurin asked if they intend the front to be asphalt or if they intend to leave a grass
green strip and asked what the planter boxes will rest on. VanZee stated the grass will
be left from the curb back to the lot line adding that is about 15 feet. VanZee stated
that the planter boxes will be placed on the lot line. VanZee stated there will be grass
from the curb to the planters using treated material right on grade and fill them up
with top soil and soils and plant in the boxes. Mahurin asked roughly what percentage
of the lot will be cleared. VanZee stated the majority of the lot is already cleared and is
all gravel except for a strip along the front where they will put the planters between the
city's right of way and the actual beginning of the lot. The lot doesn't start at the curb,
it starts back 10 to 15 feet from the curb. That area will be left in grass and then there
is probably another 8 to 10 feet of grass back to where they will put the planters.
Mahurin commented that she had not driven by to look at it and VanZee explained it is
right next to the airplane.
Item brought back to the Commission for discussion. No further discussion.

MAHURIN YES GLICK YES

MOTION PASSED.
b. Proposed Sign Code for Townsite Historic District
Chairman Walker noted that this is a proposed sign code for the Townsite Historic Zone
and the question the Commission is being asked tonight is to advise the administration
on how to proceed with TSH Board's proposal. Walker stated the proposal is on the sign
code for the TSH zone.
MAHURIN MOVED THAT WE DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE A
MORE COMPREHENSIVE ORDINANCE FORMAT FOR THE TOWNSITE
HISTORIC ZONE SIGN CODE. MOTION SECONDED BY GLICK.
Walker asked for additional staff comments. La Shot stated he would recommend the
same as is requested in the memo and that the item be sent back and more time be
spent on it.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 9
Minutes July 24, 1996
Item brought back for discussion.
Goecke stated he thought they had hashed over the sign code when setting up the zone
in the first place. Goecke added that he had not been able to find his information from
that time. Goecke stated he seemed to remember that they had stated what they
thought the sign code should be at that time. Walker stated that was some the
Commission member's impression.
Mahurin stated she was not on the Commission when the change was made adding she
was not aware of the discussions. Mahurin stated she does know that the very small
portion of town that is left as the Historic Townsite has a certain flavor that the
Historic Townsite Board is trying to preserve and one of the areas of concern when she
was on the TSH Board was signs. Mahurin stated that what they had initially brought
as a suggested code left a lot questions and definitely the attorney saw legal problems
with it. Mahurin stated she thought they were being asked to give the attorney some
latitude to draw up something for the Townsite adding that is a different area from the
rest of the town. Mahurin noted they are not talking about Mapco type signs. They are
talking about wanting to preserve and protect the nature of that area and that is why
they are talking about the signs. Mahurin stated she supports what they are trying to
do adding this is a way to conform to other parts of the code too.
Glick stated he also thought they had gone through a lot of discussion adding he went
back and looked at his notes which showed they did discuss signs. But, in the final
version that was voted on Glick stated he didn't see where the sign changes were
included. Glick stated that maybe he missed it but looking through his information he
couldn't find it. Glick stated he personally didn't see anything wrong with letting the
city attorney bring something back for them to look at and then they could decide if
they like it or want to make changes.
Bryson stated that for the record he questioned if the intent of the motion was to
incorporate the recommendations of the attorney. Mahurin stated that was correct.
Walker commented that he understands the TSH Board's interest and zeal in proposing
a different sign code for the TSH zone. Walker stated his concern that again they are
addressing one small portion of town. The entire city is in need of addressing the sign
code. Walker stated there are sign code problems all over town and this may or may
not solve problems for TSH. Walker stated he felt it was improper for them to address
the sign code in just the TSH district without addressing it in the rest of town. Walker
stated because of this he will not be supporting this measure to direct the city attorney
to proceed. Walker stated this is a concern that he has expressed during the Comp Plan
reviews. This same issue has been discussed several times adding he feels this question
is again before the Commission in a slightly different format but still has the same
questions. Walker stated he fells it is inappropriate to address the sign code in one
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 10
Minutes July 24, 1996
particular district and not another district even if it is an important a district as the
TSH. Walker reiterated he will not be supporting this measure.
VOTE:

Chairman Walker advised the motion had passed and City Attorney Cary Graves will
be requested to proceed.
BREAK 7:50 P.M.-ON RECORD AT 7:55 P.M.
8. OLD BUSINESS:
9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS:
10. REPORTS:
a. City Council
Smalley stated that under public comment Kelly Wolfe came and talked about a
restoration program on the Kenai River, a Youth Corps program. Wolfe presented a
proposal to have the City of Kenai consider such restoration on the banks of the Kenai
River. Joe Lee spoke to council about the James Street four Alex problem situation.
Smalley stated other folks also spoke. Smalley stated it was discussed and he had
relayed some of the discussion that had taken place at P&Z. Smalley stated it was just
a discussion item.
Under public hearings, Item C2 and 3 were tabled. Under committee reports there was
a discussion concerning the Assisted Living Complex. They had gone to get financing.
They were able to obtain financing through GMAC but there was a rider attached
saying that HUD had to agree to the permit. Smalley stated that HUD feels that the
facility in Homer is providing sufficient spaces for the number of individuals who
require assisted living. Smalley stated they have gone out to get other private
financing and the plan is to break ground in 45 days.
The KVCC reported that they are up to 600 visitors per day visiting the facility and
they expect that number to increase at the end of the month through the middle of
August.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 1 1
Minutes July 24, 1996
There was discussion concerning the proposed purchase/trade of the Hakkinen lot in
Old Town and that will come up again in the fall. There was a lot of discussion
concerning Item 2, Kenai River Access Dipnet Fishery. Phone calls have been received
from individuals that are upset over the gate and the lack of parking. Smalley stated
they want to see signs suggesting where parking is available in other parts of town, i.e.
the old Carr's Mall. City Council feels that the gate at this point in time the right step
to go. Smalley added that the state has placed the city in a precarious position by
opening this dipnet fishery and allowing such an impact by significant number of
people. Smalley stated they have undertaken as best they can to control some of the
traffic on the dunes. Smalley stated the gate will be unlocked the middle of August.
Smalley stated there still are plans to put walkways down there and informative signs
stating the importance of the dunes. Walker stated he was lead to believe that the Fish
and Game, Fish and Wildlife deemed that this particular area at the dunes is a low
value habitat versus further up river. Smalley stated they had. Walker noted that the
city is still taking great measures to protect it versus other properties in the city.
Smalley stated they believe that once the dunes go that the erosion will move more
rapidly up into the bluff area. Smalley added that on the opposite side of the river we
still have the encroachment of private property, people driving across individuals
lawns, and a gentleman who has lost approximately 75 feet of lawn over the years.
Signs have been posted. One of the signs was used as a boogie board as a vehicle that
drove right over the top of it. The sign has since been replaced. Smalley stated he has
received numerous phone calls from individuals who are upset because they can't drive
over private property to get to the beach. They are upset because they have to drive
over the water. Smalley stated he informed them that the city cannot give permission
to drive on someone's private property. Smalley added that this is a citizen of the city
and a taxpayer and the city needs to do the best they can to protect taxpayers and
property owners within the city. Smalley stated he suggested they might call the State
Fish and Game to see if they would be willing to post someone down there to help direct
traffic in a legal and safe manner.
Smalley stated that under New Business a safety fence has been placed off of Mission
Avenue to help keep people back away from the bluff. Smalley stated he was unsure
how many feet the fence was. It was hoped that this would keep people from going over
the bluff because every time someone goes over the bluff more erosion continues to take
place and occur.
Under Item 6 the Chamber of Commerce presented a resolution that they had passed
regarding the Kenai City Manager. The resolution was to ask the council to consider
several things about Mr. Manninen in dealing with him. Smalley stated there was
discussion concerning the issue and council primarily did not voice objection to a body
presenting a resolution, or whatever they wish to call it, it is their opinion. Smalley
stated that as long as he is on this body he will openly listen to the opinions of the
public who come in and want to speak. Smalley noted he doesn't necessarily agree with
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 12
Minutes July 24, 1996
it and in this particular issue he did not agree with the statements that were made, but
they are entitled to make those statements.
Smalley noted that Item 7 was not discussed. Smalley added that it was discussed in
the past and primarily as to which financial institutions are involved.
Goecke asked regarding Item 7 he thought that the city had in fact looked at other
financial institutions and that Mr. Smalley had told him that nobody would do it as
cheap as what the present financial institution would do it for. Thus, the city was
consequently not going to take it out of there. Goecke asked what prompted the
discussion. Smalley stated they have had several discussions over the years to look to
see where the city is investing their money. There has never been an RFP issued.
Smalley stated that the city Finance Director at the time, Charlie Brown, felt that the
city was getting a great deal where it was. Smalley stated that some of the councilman
over the years have voiced this concern. That being, you don't know what is available if
you don't ask. Smalley stated what prompted it was a discussion that took place at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting. Smalley added that since he had not attended the
Chamber of Commerce meeting he could not speculate on that. Goecke stated that
Smalley had told him that in fact the city had looked at other financial institutions and
do it on a regular basis. Goecke stated that now he felt Smalley was hedging that a
little bit adding he was curious if the city had in fact looked at this and why are they
now saying they should look at it. Smalley stated the city Finance Director at the time
had indicated that he had looked at other firms and did not find them to be as viable as
the present one. Smalley. stated that until there was any change, the Finance Director
had recommended that the city stay where it was. At that time, there were two
councilman who had objected and wanted to see an RFP issued. Smalley stated this
item has been discussed by council several times in the past. Smalley noted that the
city has approximately $27 million dollars invested with one banking institution.
Werner-Quade stated she had a comment regarding Item B-2 adding she had been at
the council meeting. Werner-Quade stated that while the James Street development
certainly sounds non-threatening, Mr. Lee did come before the council and presented
copies of a signed petition from the residents in the area containing 18 signatures along
with photos that had been presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the
June 26th meeting. Lee spoke to the fact that there is not a four plex there, it is four
separate units on four separate foundations noting that is not allowed in that zone.
Werner-Quade commented there were a couple council members who were beside
themselves that this had actually gone on and they had asked the Building Official, Mr.
Springer, if this man had gotten a permit prior to construction. Werner-Quade stated
the answer was no that he had constructed these units and then obtained a building
permit for a four plex. Werner-Quade stated that Mr. Lee had made a very aproposed
statement at that time, "Well if it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck and it acts
like a duck, where I came from it is a duck." Werner-Quade stated she remembered
this because she had gone by and looked at the James Street project development
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 13
Minutes July 24, 1996
noting it is an illegal use in the zone. Werner-Quade added there are cabins sitting in
an RS zone stating you are not even allowed to get a Conditional Use Permit to have
cabins in that zone. Werner-Quade commented that somewhere along the line someone
decided that it could be (at this point read) "tying detached structures together by some
sort of breezeway and calling it a four plex." Werner-Quade stated that when this issue
came before P&Z it was presented as a four Alex. Werner-Quade noted that had Mr.
Lee not come to the meeting and presented the Commission with the petition and
photos, they would not have known that there were four units there. Werner-Quade
stated that the end result was that City Council sent the issue back to administration.
Councilman Smalley stated that it is correct that Lee did present the same information
that was presented at Planning and Zoning. Smalley stated that part of the discussion
that took place at the council level was should a stop order be put on this man's
development. Smalley stated that was seriously discussed and he supported not
putting a stop order on it because if the city presented the individual from completing
the project as he had applied for, adding he did start the project without a permit.
Smalley commented that most people have in mind when hearing the word four Alex
what it means. Smalley added that when you look at these buildings (drew on board)
showing if you put a roof here and here, he would qualify by code. Smalley stated that
as far as being an illegal use by the number of buildings that he has in regards to the
lot line, if he applies for a permit to remove a lot line since he owns the property to the
side, he wouldn't have a problem. Smalley stated code says that he could have more
than one cabin. Smalley noted we call them cabins, because they appear to be cabins in
every way, but he could rent them by the month and be legal.
Walker commented that he would still have to comply with all square footage
requirements for units. Smalley stated that all he would have to do is remove the lot
line adding there is not a square footage requirement on an apartment. Walker stated
7200 square foot per principle dwelling. Smalley again noted if he removes the lot line
he would be fine. Walker asked if that would give him 3,000 square feet. Smalley
stated he would be legal with the city adding if he put this under one roof, by all
definitions in the code, he would be fine. Smalley noted that if the city were to prevent
him from completing his project that he has been permitted by the city to build then the
city could be negligent in his development and causing him financial hardship.
b. Borough Planning
Bryson noted they had a meeting on July 22nd and the agenda is in the packet. There
were no changes from the preliminary agenda. Bryson stated there was considerable
discussion and public input on Item F-2, the land use permit to operate the halfway
house. Bryson noted this carried their meeting past their cut off time. Bryson added
that the rules were suspended and the meeting continued. Bryson stated that once the
public hearing was closed, there was a request for a work session which has been
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 14
Minutes July 24, 1996
scheduled for August lgt. Bryson added he thought it was at 6 p.m. but the time should
be verified. Administration has recommended approval of the application with
conditions. Among those conditions are not permitting sexual felons either convicted or
paroled to occupy the facility. Bryson noted this would go to the work session and the
Planning. Commission will develop the findings of fact. Item H-1 reconsidered Item 1.
Bryson stated that administration had no change in their recommendations and their
original motion was reconstituted without change. All plats were approved. Bryson
stated that under J-1 Habitat Protection there was an application for a Conditional Use
Permit. Bryson stated that was denied. Another application for a Conditional Use
along the river. In this situation the use had occurred previously, the cabin had burnt
down, and the applicant was requesting to rebuild in the same location. That was
approved. It was felt that to deny would deny him all use of property.
Goecke asked regarding Item F-2, when did the Borough start zoning items such as
this. Bryson stated the ordinance was passed about two months ago. Bryson stated
this was a "Mutt and Jeff' ordinance which included two items, half way houses and
borrow pits. That was rapidly pushed through the assembly and it was approved.
Bryson stated this is the first item that he is aware of two come up under this
ordinance. Goecke asked if the Borough can actually do this--zone for this and not
anything else. Goecke stated since he had moved here in 1976, it has been a cry that
the people in the borough did not want zoning. Bryson stated that his perception is
that in the last two years there has been a major shift in philosophy concerning that.
Bryson commented that he feels they shouldn't be addressing these things on individual
subjects.
c. Administration
La Shot stated the city is in the beginning stages of seeking designers for the fire
training facility that the city may be building. La Shot noted the consultants who are
preparing the Airport Master Plan will be attending the Airport Commission's meeting
in August. La Shot encouraged the Commissioners to attend the meeting. La Shot
stated that in talking with the consultants it appears that the airport noise contour
may actually decrease from what was earlier projected which was based on heavy jet
traffic to more of a steady commuter airport. Mahurin asked for clarification of the
meeting date and was advised August 8th. La Shot advised the Commission that he
would be on vacation for the next meeting but someone from administration would be in
attendance.
11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED:
Kristine Schmidt-Schmidt stated she wanted to comment and address some of the
items that had been discussed. Schmidt stated the last survey of borough residents she
had seen when she worked at the Borough several years ago showed the majority of
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 15
Minutes July 24, 1996
people who had responded to the survey (several 100) were in favor of zoning. Schmidt
stated that there may be a perception that this place is anti-zoning, these survey
results don't show that. Schmidt added that they might want to get a copy of that
survey adding it is probably three to four years old.
Schmidt stated she wanted to talk about what had happened at the Airport Commission
as far as the recommendation to the City Council about buying that 40 acre piece of
property on which the Richka Creek Subdivision is proposed. Schmidt advised she had
attended the June meeting and they did not have a quorum. Schmidt added that the
item had been on the agenda but since they didn't have a quorum nothing had been
done that night. Schmidt stated she understood that at the July meeting they didn't
understand why they were being asked to consider it since P&Z hadn't considered it.
Thus, they didn't do anything. Schmidt stated they didn't consider it an action item at
that agenda noting she thought that was strange since it had been on the action agenda
in June. Schmidt stated she was out of state and not there so was just reporting what
had been told to her. Schmidt stated she wasn't at the P&Z meetings but had heard
that this body had made a recommendation but understood that they hadn't. Schmidt
asked P&Z to consider recommending to the City Council or having that as an action
item on a P&Z agenda date in the future to recommend to Council that they consider
purchasing that piece of property as a buffer. Schmidt stated she knew she was
prepared and is gathering materials that show that it is a common practice for
municipalities to buy buffer areas around their airport to protect residential areas from
noise, materials from the Environmental Protection Agency, etc.
Schmidt stated the last thing she wanted to talk about was the Prime Residential Zone
which started from Ms. Werner-Quade's suggestion over a year ago that P&Z's hands
were tied because there wasn't a zone that was a single family residence zone only in
the city. Schmidt advised that a lot of people worked very hard on that zone including a
retired engineer who lives in Woodland Subdivision noting it is disappointing to go
through the process of having to come to meeting after meeting after meeting and
getting no where. Schmidt stated that if the Commission has some ideas about this,
she would appreciate it if they take the initiative themselves adding that she feels
people are pretty tired of coming to meetings and getting the run around, basically.
Schmidt stated that people worked in good faith on this project and if the Commission
didn't like what they came up with, they could have changed it. Schmidt stated she felt
it is a mistake to see every attempt to better the quality of life in the community as
some kind of anti-development conspiracy as some of the statements heard tonight
show.
Mahurin asked the Chair for permission to respond. Mahurin stated that in regards to
the purchase of the Richka Park Subdivision, adding she didn't believe Schmidt was in
attendance, that she had attempted to have a recommendation from P&Z go to City
Council. Mahurin noted she had made the motion and it died for lack of a second.
Mahurin stated she tried several times to get something passed through P&Z. Finally,
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 16
Minutes July 24, 1996
the best that she was able to get through that night was to forward it to the Airport
Commission. Mahurin noted she would have a comment under Commission Comments
but that would be addressed later in the agenda. Mahurin stated she did want Schmidt
to know that there was an attempt to forward the issue of purchasing the property or
trading for it to City Council that didn't get approved by this body. Schmidt stated that
she felt people were confused who had attended the meeting that night because they
came away thinking that the recommendation had been made.
12. INFORMATION ITEMS:
a. James Street Cabins (Miscellaneous Inf. from Council Meeting)
b. 1996 Borough Calendar
c. Notice of Borough Planning Commission Action of July 8, 1996
d. Telephone message from Betsy Arbelovsky dated 7/16/96-Chairman Walker
drew attention to this message to the attention of the Commission.
e. "Notice of Meetings" mailed to Woodland Subdivision Residents
13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS:
Bryson requested that administration consider drafting a correction to the Land Use
Table for lot sizes with and without city water and sewer as discussed this evening. La
Shot clarified if Bryson meant separate from the RP zone. Bryson stated completely
separate from the RP zone but with the same comments concerning water and sewer
and also including multi-plex that is on the same page.
Glick commented that regarding the sign ordinance that the Commission keeps talking
about it and that it should be looked at. Glick suggested setting this as a goal to work
on the sign code and take some action before the end of the year. Chairman Walker
asked how the Commission felt and advised to put it on the wish list.
Mahurin asked if anyone had taken a look at the Gary King sign and if it was in
compliance with the sign ordinance. La Shot stated it was looked at and without being
able to climb up and measure it, it appears to be very close to the maximum size
allowed. La Shot added that they represent themselves as having one than one
business noting that they book guiding services. Mahurin asked if the sign was on their
property and not on the Rainbow property. La Shot stated he believed it was. Mahurin
noting that Smalley had stated that the purchase or trade of the Hakkinen property
~ had been tabled to sometime in the fall and asked that P&Z could be notified in
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 17
Minutes July 24, 1996
Councilman Smalley stated this had been the item he was not going to discuss but he
thinks this may be pertinent. Smalley stated that the city does not require in the
issuance of a building permit professionally drawn plans, it never has. Smalley stated
that when we look at those structures we think cabins. Smalley noted we can call them
that but cabins is not defined in the code. Smalley stated that everything is in the 14
by 16 building, every aspect of the "home" is in that space. Smalley stated that in his
prints that he turned into the city with continuing to develop this project. Smalley
stated that is why he spoke in favor of not shutting the project down. If he attaches
roofs that are common to those four structures then they are no longer four structures.
They are units under a common roof. He would obviously be tying the facilities in also
with breezeways, walkways, or whatever. Smalley stated that if he is allowed to
continue his development and brings it under those restrictions, he in fact has, by our
definition in our code, a four Alex. Smalley stated he had suggested at the council
meeting is does Council want to recommend to P&Z to look at perhaps requiring a
change in that professionally drawn plans need to be submitted. Smalley added that he
feels that in some cases this puts a hardship on folks. Smalley stated that when he
looks at the plans that were drawn, he saw four structures, but if you put a common
roof over it, it is no longer four structures. Smalley stated it still is under a common
roof. Smalley stated there are some problems with the development to which the
developer, Mr. Richmond, has been notified by the city. Part of it is the loss of that one
lot line, if they are able to erase that one lot line, then by the square footage of the lot
he doesn't have a problem. Smalley stated, again, he could rent by the month all of
those facilities without a problem. To require more of prints from him than what you
may require of another developer probably could be challenged. Smalley stated there
were a couple council people who stated he saw more than they did when they looked at
the plans. Smalley stated that if he continues this project through to fruition, he could
come within code requirement. Smalley reiterated he wasn't saying this in support of
the project but from the standpoint that the city needs to allow the developer the
opportunity within the permit time to complete the project.
Walker commented that there had been one person who spoke about the zone that was
reconsidered and voted down this evening. Walker stated that one of the comments
made was something about a conspiracy. Walker noted he didn't have any idea if there
was a conspiracy or not. Walker stated he has on many occasions expressed strong
concerns that this zone was being brought to us to be utilized. Walker stated he would
like to again publicly state that those items were placed in his head by Mr. Christian in
a discussion held between Mr. Christian and himself at the door of the building. Mr.
Christian did tell Walker that one of the intents of bringing this zone forward was to in
fact slow down or prevent some of the development that he did not favor in Richka
Park. Walker stated that is why he had asked the question on the record this evening
noting that Christian had not indicated the same but listed a number of places none of
which included Woodland. Walker stated he thought that was very interesting because
in some of the preliminary discussions on the record the rezoning of Woodland was
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 19
Minutes July 24, 1996
included in their original testimonies. It was pointed out to them that most of the
properties in Woodland would not comply with the zone. Walker stated that again
those items were not mentioned this evening. Walker stated I too have felt that we
have listened to a tremendous amount of public testimony on this issue and feel that
the correct decision was reached in voting down a proposed zone that he does not
believe that any developer in the community has the intention to use. Walker added
that if at some point in time a developer was to come forward and ask for a zone similar
to this Walker stated he feels that this body would have no problem coming up with a
zone that would allow a developer that kind of restrictive avenue for development of
property. Walker stated he feels that this body and hopefully the council do not want to
see zones created and utilized on properties that are adjacent properties rather than
those owned by the people requesting the rezone. Walker stated that is the major
reason he did not support this item.
