There is no installation agreement required. Bridge Access Road is available for extension of utilities. Sewer line is available to tract D2 in the back. Bryson asked if this plat was related to the construction that is underway. La Shot stated that construction takes place between the Spur Highway and this plat. Bryson clarified if that is the smaller tract as noted by dashes on the plat in the packet. La Shot stated he dashed in the line because it wasn't denoted. Bryson stated there is a water and sewer easement that stretches through that property parallel to the Kenai Spur Highway that provides the water and sewer service. MR. GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SPRUCEWOOD GLEN SUBDIVISION NO. 7. MOTION SECONDED BY MR. BOOTH. VOTE: BOOTH-YES GOECKE-YES UNANIMOUS. PUBLIC. HEARINGS: WERNER-QUADE-YES BRYSON-YES PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 2 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 PZ96-7, Encroachment Permit, Lot 17, Block 1, Anglers Acres, Part 2-Mr. Bryson asked for further staff report. Mr. La Shot stated that this first public hearing is the first of three that involve properties owned by the same individuals. The first one involves an encroachment on Lot 17. Mr. La Shot asked that any comments be related to the encroachment itself so that each permit request could be handled separately. Bryson stated the action on Lot 17, Block 1 that is open for comment is for the half foot encroachment into the 15 yard side setback. The building itself is 14.5 feet from the property line. The rural residential zone requires 15 feet. Mr. Bryson opened the public hearing. Nigel Guest, 3320 W 78th, Anchorage 99502-Mr. Guest stated he would try to keep his comments short and thanked the commission for the opportunity to speak. Mr. Guest stated that some of his comments do relate to the next item on the agenda. As far as the encroachment goes, Mr. Guest stated he was disappointed that things weren't planned and looked at before things were built next door. Mr. Guest stated Mr. Lowe has built it clearing everything out in the immediate area and basically where he sits is an eye sore. Mr. Guest stated he had requested that Mr. La Shot make available to the Commission a letter he had written. Mr. Guest stated he didn't know if the Commission had had an opportunity to read the letter but hopes that they will before voting. Guest stated that basically he has asked Mr. Lowe to build a fence that will shield his property from Lowe's property. Guest stated he would request it be built at an 8 foot level to block the things that are budding onto his property line and to help shield his property which he has tried to protect. Basically, to make his property to continue to be a residential area and something that he hopes to retire to soon. Guest stated he uses it for recreation in the summer from basically the middle of April when his tax season is over until approximately October 15 to the 31st. Guest stated this lot sits in a series of lots that are recreational and this will become a commercial use lot. Guest stated he would save that comment for the next hearing. Guest asked the Commission to read his letter and to help him keep some of the quality of life he is used to on a residential lot. Mr. Bryson closed the public hearing and brought the matter back to the Commission for action. MR. GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-7 ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR LOT 17, BLOCK 1, ANGLERS ACRES. MOTION SECONDED BY MS. WERNER-QUADE. Goecke asked Mr. La Shot if Mr. Springer said anything about the building that is encroaching. Goecke explained that he when he looked at it it looked like the building was moved in okay but then added to after it was on location. Mr. La Shot stated there was an addition put on the building that was moved in; however, he is not sure if the addition is what is encroaching. La Shot stated he thought it was the addition. La Shot asked if there was anyone in the audience representing the Lowes. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 3 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Brian Lowe, owner of the property on Lot 17 on Angler Drive identified himself. Mr. Lowe explained he had staked out and had an asbuilt on the property and then had more gravel put in. In doing so, stakes were removed and then put back. Lowe stated he moved the one part of the building to the extent he thought it was in the 15 foot and he said it looks like just the corner of it is in 6 inches over. Lowe stated it was an accident and it wasn't planned that way. Lowe stated if Nigel wants him to put a fence up there he has no problem with that. Mr. Bryson stated the question was whether the 16 foot dimension on the asbuilt as shown was the secondary addition. Mr. Lowe responded no, that was the building that was put in. Bryson clarified it was the original building and it was expanded with a 22 foot addition. Lowe stated it was set there and it turned a little bit. Lowe reiterated he had had someone come in and put more gravel, they removed the stakes and put them back. The building was tilted and the addition was put on the one right corner is extending beyond 6 inches. All the other corners are inside. Mr. Goecke stated looking at the asbuilt, assuming that everything on it is correct, he has a tough time looking at all the space to the left and wondering why the thing wasn't moved to the center a bit further, if you are close. Goecke stated there are so many of these coming in that are encroaching a foot and a half, six inches, a foot ,time after time, "Oh, I made a mistake." Goecke stated he is becoming a little disenchanted with the so-called mistakes. Ms. Werner-Quade stated that based on staff recommendations and the comments of Mr. Guest she will be objecting to the encroachment. VOTE: WERNER-QUADE-NO GOECKE-NO BOOTH-NO BRYSON-YES MOTION FAILED, THREE NAY VOTES, ONE YES VOTE. Mr. Bryson stated that for the record this action could be appealed to the City Council. Bryson asked what the time limit was for appeal and Kebschull stated the information would be sent to Mr. Lowe immediately. Bryson asked Mr. La Shot if he was aware of the appeal period and he responded he thought it was within seven days that he must give notice of appeal. La Shot stated the appeal board, council, has 30 days. Bryson stated that should be clarified tomorrow with the city secretary. PZ96-8, Conditional Use Permit, Lot 17, Block 1, Anglers Acres, Part 2-Mr. Bryson noted this was the same lot as the above lot. Mr. La Shot stated this Conditional Use Permit would allow the owner to rent nightly and weekly during the summer a two bedroom home with a loft. He intends to rent it monthly in the winter which normally would not require a permit. La Shot stated a contingency has been requested that the permit be issued upon resolution of the encroachment. La Shot PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 4 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 stated he has an illustration for the Commissions' use to show some of the other conditional uses that are occurring in the Anglers Drive area. .. Mr. Bryson recessed meeting for five minutes. Mr. Bryson opened the public hearing for comment for Lot 17, Block 1, Anglers Acres, Part 2, request for a Conditional use Permit. Nigel Guest from Anchorage. Mr. Guest stated that he wanted to say that he realizes his area of Angler Drive is important to the City of Kenai because it is one of the few areas that the city can access the river from Kenai rather than from Soldotna. Guest stated he is an avid fisherman himself so he likes to see people fish. Guest stated he would like to mention that sometimes rules seem to get bent and there is little enforcement in this neck of the woods noting it has been seen in other lots and other areas not only on the Anglers Drive area but in Soldotna. Guest stated he would like protection as a residential area. He stated he has no objection to people staying in a house next to him but he would like to see the business use restricted to the overnight use, or week use, or monthly use. He stated he would hate to see a boat rental operation started or a guiding operation started out of that. Especially since Mr. Lowe has access to other lots which he already owns on Anglers Drive where he has a business use permit and where he has been running his Hi Lo Charters. Mr. Guest stated he would like the commission to think of his position of having a lot totally cleared next to you, campers in there, tents in there, basically the trees gone, and very little that the Kenai Peninsula offers to us as individuals. Guest stated that when he lived down here from 1977 to 1988 one of the things he really enjoyed was the fact that his house was out in the trees, he could look around and not see too many other people, and not hear too many other things. This is one of the things that keep bringing him back to the Kenai, the peace and quiet and enjoyment. Guest stated he would like to ask the Commission members to put themselves in his shoes and try to help a little bit., maybe not to deny the permit but to keep it to the actual specific use that has been asked for and to have some means of enforcement if the use expands beyond that permit. Bryan Lowe-stated he wanted to note that he would not be running a guide service out of the property but it would just be used for lodging alone. Lowe stated he does not plan on having an RV park and there are a lot of trees left. Lowe reiterated he does not plan on running a business out of there, lodging only and boat parking. Everybody along there has parking for boats and Lowe stated he doesn't see why he should be denied as far as just to have it for lodging. Will Jahrig stated he owns Lot 12 on Anglers Drive and noted he has been in conditional use since 1989. Jahrig stated he thought he was one of the front runners who started the conditional uses there. Jahrig was under the assumption that the Conditional Use Permit was allowed under city codes to run a small business following guidelines. And, if guidelines were not followed, the conditional use could be revoked. Jahrig asked if that was correct. Bryson stated it is. Jahrig stated with that assumption with their business they have tried to do their utmost to keep their PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 5 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 neighbors happy and that he feels they have a good relationship with their neighbors down there. Jahrig stated that neighbors use the dock when they want to, they can come and go and use the phone. Jahrig stated they have tried to be very neighbor } friendly. Jahrig stated Beaver Creek is a very nice, very positive area. It is a very safe area for clientele and for those who own their places down there. Jahrig stated he objects to things happening down there that can be negative. Stated he objects if they are not being perceived to the public or to the clients that are correct uses. Jahrig stated he has a hard time with some of the conditional uses. Jahrig stated that Mr. Lowe has Lot 8 coming up along with this lot. Jahrig stated Lowe has been running a business off another lot for several years now that has not had a conditional use. Jahrig stated Lowe knows a conditional use has to be in effect to run a business because he has had one previously. Jahrig states he realizes that the city doesn't have a way of policing or overseeing this. Jahrig stated you have to take it word wise from people who are down there. Jahrig stated he takes it as a slap to those who are down there to their intelligence if somebody has been doing things and stepping over their limits and their boundaries for years. A little bit here and a little bit. here, and well, we got away with another one, well I can run this one. Jahrig stated he likes to see businesses down there and he thinks they are a good, positive business aspect for the city. Jahrig states he doesn't like it when they are taken advantage of because it doesn't just show lack of fore thought on their behalf. It makes it harder on somebody like myself. If I want to come before the board and ask for more conditional usage or a change, the negative aspect that comes back to us as property users. Jahrig stated they will have a hard time doing it. Jahrig stated he knows that is not the way it is supposed to happen. Jahrig stated you get grouped in as an area and he doesn't want to see it happen to that area down there. Jahrig stated that he thinks you have to grab it by a little bit more of a hand and make sure that things aren't just walking along and not being noticed, out of sight, out of mind. Jahrig stated he felt that if commercial businesses are coming in for conditional uses, he thinks the city should require DEC or some regulatory commission that would make sure that our septic systems down there are being 100 percent put in, designed, and installed for the usage. Jahrig stated he knows that for years Mr. Lowe had a septic system that on high tide was flooded. Jahrig stated he has another septic system now that he installed a drainage ditch for that is within less footage that is specified for having drainage ditches next to a leach field. Jahrig stated there is always water in the ditch. Jahrig stated it is things like this that he sees constantly that nobody does anything about and that it has come to a head now. Jahrig stated this is one of those issues and if there are going to be conditional uses and running people down there, he doesn't want his clients having to see somebody drainage ditch that is probably septic. Jahrig stated there is a fecal count that is a problem in the creek now and the state and borough are trying to address it. Jahrig stated he doesn't know that if it is in the city statutes but is an item he thinks should be addressed. Jahrig stated he knows he is coming in to get his conditional use on Lot 8, the next item, and he knows that it has been used for guiding and as commercial use for several years. Jahrig stated he has been there, fishing several times a week as a private individual off his dock. Jahrig stated he comes and goes and sees it all the time. Mr. Jahrig stated he appreciates the commissions' time. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 6 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 MS. WERNER-QUADE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-8, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR LOT 17, BLOCK 1, ANGERLS ACRES, PART 2. MOTION SECONDED BY MR. BOOTH. Goecke stated he doesn't have any problem issuing the Conditional Use Permit but not open ended the way it appears at this point. First, it must be contingent upon council overturning what was done on 96-7. Also, would definitely want to see a fence along the property line. Goecke stated that Mr. Jahrig brought up a point about making sure that the only thing that happens on this lot is rental of housing. Goecke stated he doesn't know how to state that he would like to see that happen and doesn't know where the enforcement would come from on that but would like to make sure that is the only thing that happens at this time if this Conditional Use Permit is granted. Mr. Bryson stated that at this time the motion was to approve the request for the conditional use and does not include the comments of the building official or the city engineer. Bryson noted that if you wish to have those attached, you better be specific or add them as an amendment. Booth directed a question to Mr. La Shot stating that he noticed there is a well on the plat within the flood line and asked if there is a possibility of well contamination. Booth noted the speaker commented on possible septic contamination in the area. Booth stated he was curious with annual flooding such as this last year whether it was a potential that that well could become contaminated. Booth added he is aware that if you run a business such as a bed and breakfast you are not required to comply with the same kind of health standards and codes that you would if you had a public restaurant. La Shot stated that the authority for onsite water and sewer rests with DEC. The city only gets involved marginally with that. La Shot stated it is not a problem for the city to communicate with them to let them know what uses are taking place on the lot but the city doesn't get involved that much in that. La Shot stated that as far as the well location, DEC has standards to abide by, separation distances from water bodies and other facilities and leach fields and wells. The flooding that took place last year was something greater than annual flooding. It was the 100 to 150 year flood. La Shot stated he is not sure what happened to this particular well but it could flood. Bryson added that whatever level the water gets in this area is 99 percent tidal situation so it could be predicted with the moon except in extreme worse situation which would be a combination of events. Bryson added that to conform with DEC requirements they would have to have a Class C well conformance. In the past, that has been a purview of DEC requirements. Booth asked Bryson to explain a Class C well. Bryson stated that effectively it is (Bryson noted this information was from memory) a well for less than 25 persons and it is not a business situation, not a domestic water source. Booth questioned if this would require a Class C well and Bryson stated yes. Bryson stated they are required to have a 150 foot separation between sources of contamination. Goecke stated he was having a quandary about thinking about doing anything with the Conditional Use Permit until the first matter is taken care o£ Goecke stated that at this point in time there is not a place to operate the Conditional Use Permit. Bryson stated they are in violation of a side yard setback. Goecke stated that theoretically PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 7 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 since the commission turned down the encroachment permit, he does not have at this point in time a place to use the Conditional Use Permit. Bryson stated he felt they were different subjects but the building inspector has tied them together in his recommendations which are not a part of the motion. Councilman Smalley stated that potentially the two resolutions that Mr. Bryson talked about and the comments could be to add an attachment suggesting that approval be conditioned upon resolution of the encroachment. That encroachment can be appealed within 30 days to the city council or Mr. Lowe can resolve that himself by moving his building. The city engineer is suggesting that once the encroachment has been dealt with, it could be approved. That is a recommendation that right now is not on the main motion. So, it could be resolved in one of two ways. Bryson stated, making reference to Mr. Fretz' letter, that he is somewhat dismayed that the house trailers and/or tents were being utilized for housing in the area. Though that is an administrative matter for conformance with the other conditions. Bryson added that he would hope in the future they are policed. Councilman Smalley stated that what probably should have occurred is that complaints should have been called into the city because the city is not actively out looking and seeking violations. That is the way the code is set up. When a complaint received, the city goes and investigates. And then, if there is a violation, it can be dealt with. But, probably no complaints came into the city so there was no awareness. But, whenever there are Conditional Use Permit violations, the city has to be notified before it has any knowledge. Bryson asked if there was a wish to modify by amendment any aspects of the main motion. Goecke asked if he could talk to maker of the motion. Bryson asked if he would like a break or to discuss it during the meeting. Goecke agreed to do it within the meeting. Goecke asked if the maker of the motion is the only one who can make an amendment to the motion. Bryson stated that he could make an amendment. GOECKE AMENDED THE MAIN MOTION FOR PZ98-8 THAT BEFORE THIS PERMIT IS ISSUED THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION PZ96-7 BE RECTIFIED AND TAKEN CARE OF. TWO, THAT A FENCE GO UP ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE. AND, THREE, THAT ALL QUESTIONS THAT PERTAIN TO THE WELL AND THE SEPTIC SYSTEM BE APPROVED AND CLEARED UP. AMENDMENT SECONDED BY BOOTH. Booth stated he would like to further define the third issue and state that he would like to see the ADEC permits for the well and septic showing that they are within state guidelines and regulations allowing for the requested use. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 14, 1996 PAGE 8 Bryson stated he has a problem with requiring that this item be tied directly to the Encroachment Permit and for that purpose he will vote against the amendment with that condition in it. VOTE ON AMENDMENT TO PZ98-8: GOECKE-YES BOOTH-YES WERNER-QUADE-NO BRYSON-NO AMENDMENT FAILS. Bryson asked if anyone would like to propose any other amendments. BOOTH MOVED THAT CONDITONAL USE PERMIT PZ96-8 BE CONDITIONAL ON MR. LOWS PROVIDING THE ADEC PERMITS FOR THE WELL AND SEPTIC FOR THIS PROPERTY SHOWING THAT BOTH WELL AND SEPTIC MEET THE ADEC CODE FOR HIS DESIRED USE. SECONDED BY WERNER-QUADE. VOTE: BOOTH-YES GOE CKE-YES WERNER-QUADE-YES BRYSON-YES MOTION PASSED. AMENDMENT BECOMES A PART OF THE MAIN MOTION. Bryson asked if there were any other amendments they would like to address. Werner-Quade stated that Mr. Jahrig made comments about the Beaver Creek area and he used great adjectives but one she felt was important is the word "fragile" and that area is very fragile. Werner-Quade stated that as long as the City of Kenai continues to turn their head to this area and say it doesn't matter and grant these permits, we will see more and more abuse down there. There will be people coming after the fact to ask for permits, people writing letters saying they don't want to see tents and trailers and requesting fences. These are the kinds of things that are real restrictive and noted she is of the opinion that as a commissioner it is time to take responsibility for allowing these kinds of permits to continue in the area without overseeing the actual use of those areas. VOTE: WERNER-QUADE-NO GOECKE-NO BOOTH-NO BRYSON-YES MOTION FAILS. Bryson stated he has the correct paragraph regarding appeals. It is on Page 14-58 of the Kenai Zoning Code. Mr. Bryson read the information noting the appeal must be PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 9 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 made within 30 days in writing to the city clerk and the appeal will be held by the city council acting as the board of adjustments. PZ96-9, Conditional Use Permit, Lot 8, Anglers Acres, Part 3-Mr. La Shot advised this permit would be for an existing two bedroom and one bedroom duplex on the lot that the applicant wishes to rent nightly and weekly during the summer and monthly during the winter. Very similar to the last situation. Public hearing opened. Will Jahrig stated he feels it is good that we have set a direction for what we want to see happen down there. Development can be done, it can be done right, and it can be .done to coincide with what we have down there. Jahrig stated he thinks that the stipulations with water and sewage being permitted properly is very important. Jahrig stated this area holds into his stomach, stating he likes the area and not just because he has a business there. Jahrig stated he was raised there, he plays down there, his kids still play down there and they are going to play down there. Jahrig stated he will be there for a long time to come. Jahrig stated that if we can try to adhere to some of these it will be good. Bryan Lowe stated he has been down there eleven years and noted that he respects the land there. He stated he runs a very professional operation. Everybody who knows him knows that he keeps the place clean. Lowe stated that as far as Lot 8, he just purchased the place. Jahrig mentioned that somebody was running guide businesses out of the property and Lowe stated that is bull because it was never done. Lowe stated he purchased the property in April. Lowe stated that he thought there was a Conditional Land Use Permit and found out there wasn't so he went ahead and proceeded to get one. Lowe stated his sewer systems have all been done legally. As far as the flooding, the last 100 year flood we just had, the water never came over the bank and affected his properties at all. Lowe stated he thinks there is a pissing contest going on because both of these gentlemen wanted to buy that one piece of property, Lot 17. Lowe stated he is not in violation; there are a lot of people who are in violation there. One of them is Conditional Land Use Permits restricting to three boats per dock. Lowe stated on his permits he has stood by them. He does not run more than three boats on his dock. There are other problems with people's wells, artesian wells flowing onto his land, Mr. Nigel's land right next to him has been flowing onto his property for two years and he has not said a thing. Lowe stated he doesn't think this is fair. That he built a building there and one corner of it is six inches over. Lowe stated that both these guys wanted to buy the property from him and he didn't sell it and now they want to fight him for it. Lowe stated it is not fair. Ms. Werner-Quade asked Mr. Lowe if he had the proper DEC permits for Lot 8. Lowe said he does not that he just bought the property in April. Lowe stated that Lot 17 is DEC coded for three bedroom and the same goes for Lot 8, it is just a house. It is residential; although, he will be lodging people. Lowe stated there are other people on the street and stated at least he is trying to be up front and be legal. There are other PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 10 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 people on the street lodging that the city knows nothing about. Lowe stated that if the city is going to put conditions on him that they need to put them on the whole street, Will Jahrig, Nigel, everybody on the street. Werner-Quade stated she had had DEC fax her a paper with everybody on Angler Acres who does have the proper permits and that is why she asked. MR. GOECKE RECOMMEND APPROVAL PZ96-9 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BRYAN LOWS. MOTION SECONDED BY MR. BOOTH. VOTE: GOECKE-YES BOOTH-YES WERNER-QUADE-YES BRYSON-YES MOTION PASSED. PZ96-10, Conditional Use Permit, Tract 4, Horseshoe End at River Bend S/D- Mr. La Shot stated that this Conditional Use Permit would be to convert an existing single family residential home into a six plex. The property is over two acres. There is another residence to the east, to the west is a city park, Cunningham Park. La Shot stated he has attached part of the code, the Land Use Table. This shows that more than four family dwellings are allowed in this zone by conditional use. There is a footnote that is also attached to the staff report. Mr. Bryson questioned for point of clarification that Footnote C has a subscript 3 and asked if the intent that the footnote on page 14-68 of the code, #3 A through I, requested to be applied to the permit. La Shot responded yes. Public hearing opened. Chris Garcia, owner of the property-stated that last fall he became extremely ill and was hospitalized and the end result of it is that he is no longer physically able to work. Stated he is looking for a way to make a living. Garcia stated he owns an extremely large house and decided that he might as well try to put the house to work for him and change it into a six plex. Garcia stated he found out that he has to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to do it so that is what he has applied for. Bryson stated that the rural residential zone allows up to a four plex and Bryson clarified that Garcia would like to put a six Alex in. Garcia stated it is his understanding that he could put up to a four Alex without any type of permit but to put a six Alex in requires a permit. Werner-Quade stated she would like to know about the sites septic and water and what provisions he has for a six plex. Garcia stated he would have to find out from DEC and added that there is no sense in spending money until he knows he is allowed to put in the six plex. Garcia stated he has called engineers to find out and has been told it is a matter of testing. Garcia stated he has an existing water and sewer and has never had PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 11 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 a problem with it in the 20 years he has lived there. Werner-Quade stated she just wondered if he had done anything so far and if his intentions were to get a hold of DEC. ~~ Garcia stated he can see absolutely no problem with his well, that it is a good artesian well. Garcia added that he doesn't know the requirements for the gallons of drainage for the septic system. But, they test it and if it doesn't pass, you change it. Werner- Quade asked if he would just like to do a rental of the six plex and have people living there year round. Garcia responded yes. Garcia added that he will continue to live there. Tom Moore, lives across the street from Chris and Delora Garcia. Moore stated he had had coffee yesterday with the Garcias and talked. Moore stated he built his house two years ago and is right across from the Garcias. Moore stated he personally feels it will not do the neighborhood by having a six plex. Moore noted he had spent a considerable amount of money in building his first home and then to have a six plex built across the street. The first thing he did was think that is six different people, two cars a piece, that is twelve cars, a lot of traffic. Moore stated he cannot support that and that when he built, the zoning was one way and changes would effect him. Moore stated he didn't think it was right. Moore advised he had called two Realtors and asked what they thought about the effect on the property values. Both of them advised Moore that it would decrease the value 10 to 20 percent; however, it is hard to tell. Somebody could come up and give you full price, but they said generally speaking that it would not be unrealistic to say it would drop the value of your house 10 to 20 percent. Moore stated he had also called an appraiser and asked what he thought. He had been told there is no scientific data but he said he could tell it wouldn't help. Moore stated he realized they can do a four plex and that he wouldn't like to see that either but they can do it and there is nothing he can do. Moore stated he thinks he has some say in a six plex and he would like Planning and Zoning to respect the money he has invested. Booth asked if their home was directly across from the Garcia home and that if he wants to look at the river he has to look at through their home. Moore stated he built with a river view and showed how much he sees on each side of the Garcia home. Pat Doyle-Stated that some of the Commission would remember that a couple years ago he was going to put an RV park across from the Garcia home and that everybody went against the park. Doyle stated that after hearing all the objections he could see their point if he was in their place he wouldn't have wanted an RV park across the road either. Doyle stated he subdivided the property and now he is selling lots along there. There are three homes there now. Doyle noted he thinks it will devalue the property if they have a six plex there. Doyle stated he would rather not see it go there as it will not help it. Doyle added he does not object to a person making a living. Curt Wilcox of Beaver Loop Road-Stated he feels that due to the close proximity to the Kenai River that he feels that the word fragile also applies to this area. Wilcox stated he is at the hearing because he is concerned with the density. Wilcox said he would like to see some development and noted that all development cannot be stopped. Wilcox stated in his opinion a six Alex is too much. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 12 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Ray Barnes of Beaver Loop-Stated he had just built a house on Beaver Loop that is pretty close to the area. Barnes asked if he could ask a question about the six plex. ~} Barnes asked if he decided to rent the six plex on a weekly basis could Garcia do that during the summer as the same type of permit that was discussed earlier this evening? La Shot stated that would fall under a different circumstance, weekly or nightly is different than monthly, long-term rental. Barnes asked if he could be issued a Conditional Use Permit? La Shot responded that it wouldn't be similar to the issues on Anglers Drive without an amendment to the permit. La Shot stated that normal, monthly rental situations can be done without a Conditional Use Permit. Anything less, short-term nightly rentals, would require amending the Conditional Use Permit to include that and go through this process again. Barnes stated that Cunningham Park is adjacent to this area and it is highly used. Barnes noted that he knows they cannot change it as far as a four plex goes, but as a six plex it increases the river area as the amount of people who spend their time around there. Barnes added there would be a lot more traffic, plus Cunningham Park is right next to it. Noting there is a designated park area with a major six plex. Barnes reiterated that if it is already zoned for a four plex nothing can be done about that but as far as a six Alex he objects to it. MR. GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-10. MOTION SECONDED BY MR. BOOTH. Mr. Goecke, speaking to the Garcias, noted that your neighbors are against your idea. Goecke asked if the Garcias had thought of the feasibility of a four plex and making the units larger and charging more per month for rent. Goecke added that they have an ideal location. Garcia stated he is open to that and added that he had sat down and started doing figuring and realized he could get a six plex out of the house so decided to see what would happen. Garcia said that not denying what these neighbors were saying but that he had spoken to other neighbors and none of them were opposed to it. Garcia stated he could understand their opposition figuring that their property values will go down but it is just one of those things. Garcia said he has a large house and it looked like he could do something with it and when he found out he needed a permit to do it, he did that. Garcia added that he doesn't think a six plex would cause a traffic problem on Beaver Loop nothing that there are three gravel pits that have dump trucks and belly dumps running down there 24 hours a day in the summer. Bryson offered a point of clarification on the prior motion stating that there were comments from the city engineer and building official which were not attached to the motion because they were not specifically addressed. Bryson stated the recommendations did not address those items in the prior motion. In this case, the recommendation is to approve subject to public input and footnote C conditions. Bryson asked if the intent of the maker of the motion to include those footnotes. Mr. Goecke advised, yes. So noted. Mr. Barnes asked what the footnotes entailed. Mr. Bryson noted that they are from page 14-68 of the code and they are additional requirements for the conditional use. Mr. Bryson read the notes and copies were supplied to the audience. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 13 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 VOTE: BOOTH-NO WERNER-QUADE-NO ~ GOECKE-NO BRYSON-YES MOTION FAILED, THREE TO ONE. Mr. Bryson advised that appeals must be submitted in writing to the city clerk within 30 days of the decision and the appeal shall be heard by the Kenai City Council acting as a board of adjustment. Mr. Moore asked if the Garcias appeal if they would be given notice that there will be another meeting. Bryson responded that City Council would schedule a public hearing. Mr. Smalley stated it would be advertised in the paper and if you are within "X" number of feet of the property you would be notified. FIVE MINUTE BREAK. NEW BUSINESS: PZ96-11, Landscape Site Plan Review, Mapco Petroleum, Inc.-Mr. La Shot stated there were full-scale drawings available. La Shot stated there was general commercial property and before a building permit can be issued a landscape site plan must be reviewed. La Shot noted that administration has no problem with the parking, drainage, or landscaping. Everything appears to be adequate. Mr. Bryson stated that if the Commission wished to review the full-size plans they were available and noted that there were portions in the packet which had been reduced. Mr. Booth clarified that he was an employee of Tesoro but that he will be voting on the plan but he doesn't see any conflicts of interest. Bryson noted unless there are comments from the board he would concur. MR. GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-11, LANDSCAPE SITE PLAN REVIEW, SPUR SUBDIVISION 1, FOR MAPCO. MOTION SECONDED BY MS. WERNER-QUADE. VOTE: WERNER-QUADE-YES GOECKE-YES BOOTH-YES BRYSON-YES MOTION PASSED. Proposed Residential Zone (Michael Christian)-Mr. Bryson noted the packet contained a submittal by Mike Christian and noted he was in the audience. Bryson PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 14 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 stated if anyone had any questions concerning it, they could ask. Bryson asked Mr. Christian if he would like to speak to the Commission. Mr. Christian stated he thought he had written everything in the proposed letter. Christian noted that they see they could have a problem with developments especially around current subdivisions that have certain standards. If they are rural residential next to suburban residential, there is a possibility of poor quality housing, no paved streets, those kinds of things. Christian stated it would reduce the value of their property. Christian stated they noticed last year when they looked in depth that they could put duplexes in any of the subdivisions because there is no code that says single family only. Christian stated they would like to apply this new code, what they have called Prime Residential Zone, for single family dwellings, larger size lots, make sure that the sewage systems are connected to city sewer and water, leaving some trees. Christian stated they have a problem with certain developers that will clear cut and then promise to re-landscape and not do a good job. Christian stated they are hoping to leave mature trees on the property so that the other properties will retain their property value as well. Christian noted those are the main items that are different from the existing code. Mr. Bryson stated he would request that the item be placed on the agenda at the next meeting when the Chairman returns and there is a full staff available. Bryson stated that several stages have to occur in creating the definition of a zone, requirements of the zone, and separate from that is the application of those conditions to areas of the town. And, then council must enact the ordinance. Bryson stated it is a long, time consuming operation. Christian stated he realized that. Bryson asked if Mr. Walker would be back for the next meeting and stated he would like the item placed back on the agenda. Mr. Smalley asked if it would be suggested that if 51 percent of the land owners sign a petition to attach to this. Smalley noted that he knows in zoning changes in the past, such as Rogers area, the city was approached with 51 percent of the land owners. Bryson stated that the way this was presented there was no petition attached to it, there are a number of ways of approaching it. It will be up to the council to accept the method that they prefer. Bryson stated his preference would be as far as commission acting would be on the basis of a petition. Bryson stated if they were ordered to do something by council, they would do it. Smalley stated that is what has prevented them from doing something on "this piece" noting they lacked that 51 percent. Bryson stated it is quite a large are that they are talking about, around 1000 acres and virtually most of the lots don't conform to those requirements. Christian stated that they realize that those that are already subdivisions could not be subjected to the size lots, but as far as leaving mature trees, sewer and water, and those types of things Christian stated he felt most people who live in those areas would prefer to see these. Bryson noted that is the sales pitch Christian would be up against at the council level. Ms. Werner-Quade thanked Mr. Christian for his time and efforts and the efforts of his neighbors that went into drafting this proposal. Werner-Quade stated that when she received the letter she felt grateful that someone in the community had made an effort to put their needs into writing and if these are the needs of surrounding and adjacent communities, then she thinks this is a good, organized effort. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 15 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 ~~ OLD BUSINESS: Comprehensive Plan-Kebschull advised that what the Commission had been given in the white folders are the product which were created retrieving the pieces from the old comprehensive plan. Kebschull noted it had been done by a student at Kenai Central and stated she appreciated the help received from the vocational program at KCHS. Kebschull stated that Mr. La Shot had advised the process would be that the Commission would review the document, a resolution will be on the agenda for the next meeting. If a resolution is passed, it will be sent to council. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: Mr. La Shot reported that staff is working on one item and information may be available at the next meeting. REPORTS: City Council-Mr. Smalley apologized for missing the last two meetings as he was out of town. Smalley reported at the last council meeting there were four scheduled public comments. Those were: Michelle Brown from the Nature Conservancy of Alaska presented information and left brochures. Mary Nelson and Lori Landstrom discussed the Kenai River Festival which in the past was at the Leif Hansen Park. Smalley stated they were dealing with policy changes at Leif Hansen regarding large groups being encouraged to use the Ball Park area. As it turned out, none of the suggested policies were adopted. The festival is scheduled for the Leif Hansen Park the second weekend in June. Duane Bannock, Mrs. Steffey, and Kathy Scott reported to council on the Challenger Learning Center and council appropriated $1,000 to file the application process. This is still being prepared and the city has not been selected as the "designated site." Smalley noted there are still several stages to go through. They also presented at the cities of Kenai and Soldotna chambers. John from the Kenai Peninsula Chapter of Global Relief spoke about Arbor Day and that will be held at the lot by the Senior Center around May 20th. Assemblyman Navarre and Assemblywoman Glick were supposed to speak about the proposed concern of the Kenai River but they did not come to the meeting. There were twelve public hearing. Vice-mayor Measles ran the meeting and it went real well. They were straight forward. One that was defeated was Resolution C-5, that was awarding a fuel service contract to Kenai Airport Fuel Service. Smalley noted that the city shop has had difficulty with the gas and diesel pumps not functioning property and requiring massive amounts of repair. So, they have been purchasing it through a pump at a set fee. The resolution would have been to purchase gasoline through December 31, 1996. Bids were accepted and they were the low bidder. Smalley stated that some council members felt that the city should be self-contained and figures were not available at the time as to how much it would cost to repair the pumps. Smalley reported that in the last four years the city PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 16 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 has spent close to $25,000 on the present system and it requires additional work at this time costing close to $12,000. At this time the city is on a day-by-day basis purchasing j gas. La Shot added that the diesel dispensers are operating and they are doing some electric work on the gasoline pumps. Smalley stated it will probably be brought back up at the next meeting as the resolution has attached to it the contract for the docks. Under old business, reasonable suspicion of drug and alcohol testing policy was discussed and it was okayed. Smalley stated the city was required by law by January to have in effect a policy dealing with drivers who have CDLs. The city went further and drafted a policy that covers city employees operating city vehicles. Smalley stated police and fireman are exempted under federal guidelines. Smalley stated that the policy stated that occasionally you might have a law enforcement officer in possession of a controlled substance because he or she may be transporting from a scene such materials. Possession would have to be looked at. Consumption is a different story. (Discussion on the drug and alcohol policy.) Smalley read the policy to the Commission. Council also approved two lease requests. Borough Planning-Mr. Bryson reported there was a meeting last Monday night. Primary items of comment and input were: Unfinished business included the draft proposed Cook Inlet NPDES permit for oil and gas exploration in the lower Cook Inlet which was approved. The finding at the borough level is the proposed activity is in conformance with the Coastal Zone Management Plan. Vacations: Vacated a portion of Karen Lane for replatting purposes in the Sterling area; vacated a portion of Moose Turd Avenue on Kalifornsky Beach Road. Bryson stated this is in close proximity to where the highway washed out several years ago with summer time runoff. There is a deep gully there and a small tract of land that was held in adjacent tract. The right of way that was both an easement and dedicated over the top of it was petitioned to be vacated. That was approved. The adjacent tract is proposing to dedicate an access down the gully itself for pedestrian purposes for beach access. That vacation approval is subject to state approval. The right of way the borough can vacate, the easement underneath the state has veto power for. Eighteen plats were reviewed. From the city of Kenai, Misty Havens preliminary plat, Richka Park, Norville Replat, Sprucewood Glen No. 7, and Habitat Acres Addition 1 were reviewed. Bryson questioned if Habitat Acres had come before Planning and Zoning and La Shot stated it had come in the form of a cul-de-sac development but the only portion was one lot on the corner that could be served without full development. La Shot stated he thinks this is the finalization of that. Administration-La Shot reported the Commission had been given copies of the latest Kenai River Habitat Protection Ordinance being proposed by the borough which had been passed out a meeting last night. La Shot stated they should note the dates for the public hearings. If anyone has any input, that would be the time to do it. La Shot stated the city still has concerns regarding prior existing uses and the procedure for variances as it would pertain to the lower river and the industry and canneries in the PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 17 FEBRUARY 14, 1996 area and how easily they could expand or keep up with businesses with the ordinance in place. At the meeting DNR Commissioner John Snibley (sp?) gave a presentation, Department of Parks and Rec Director Jim Stratton also spoke, Lisa Parker and Don Gilman of the borough also spoke, and a couple of other individuals from the state. One item discussed was the Kenai River Center which is co-sponsored by State Parks, State Fish & Game, and the borough and will be opening soon. The center will help provide education to the public on matters of habitat restoration, acquisition of permits along the river. It was hoped to be a one stop shopping center for permits which should help to coordinate the situation. Mr. Smalley stated the other concerns the council had in reference to the habitat ordinance was that the assembly discussed that from the Warren Ames Bridge west being excluded. The problem that the city had with that is that there would be two different sets of property owners affected by different sets of regulations that were on the river. And, the council had difficulty with having two standards. Mr. Bryson stated that what is proposed by the borough now that the city can opt out of enforcing it. The way it is written, it would apply whether it is inside or outside the city and it has a potential of developing into a confrontation. Smalley stated then the borough would have to come in. Bryson stated yes the borough would have to enforce it rather than the city if the city declined.

DON GILMAN MAYOR February 13, 1996 Mr. Tom Manninen City Manager City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Mr. Manninen: Subject: Enhanced 9-1-1 Mapping and Addressing Project Emergency Service Number (ESN) The Kenai Peninsula Borough has been assisting in the Enhanced 9-1-1 Mapping and Address project for approximately one year. Presently the Borough Planning Department is in the process of renaming various rights-of--way throughout the Borough identified in a document called Enhanced 9-7-7 Mapping and Address Project Street Name Report and Master Street Address Guide. Enclosed is a street naming map for your city. Also provided are suggested street name changes, identified by the consultant, along with a list of all the street names within the city. Please review these suggested changes and maps. Presently, these street names are the official street names as stated in Chapter 14.10.030 STREET NAMING METHODS. (enclosed). Street names adopted by action of an incorporated city within the Borough shall be recognized on the official street name map. Therefore, if the city has renamed a street and has not forwarded the approved resolution to the Planning Department, please do so. After review of the map, if the city wishes to change any street name, a resolution must be adopted and submitted to this department. Changes of the official street naming map at the Borough will then take place. A map should be submitted with the resolutions to indicate exactly where the street to be renamed is located. There is a separate section entitled "streets needing revisions" for your ESN. Also included is the key that determines the suffixes for each street. This Department would prefer the cities handle the name changes; however, if the city is unable, the Borough Mr. Tom Manninen February 13, 1996 Page 2 Planning Department will do the project. If the city will undertake this project, a resolution and revised map indicating these changes should be submitted to the Borough Planning Department before May 1, 1996. If the city is unable to do this project, please let us know as soon as possible. Please let us know if you need our assistance. In some cases, there will be a street name within the city limits that continues onto Borough land. We would like to work with the city on the naming or renaming of these streets. Please feel free to contact me or Mary Toll at 907-262-4441 or toll free within the Borough 1-800-478-4441 if you have questions or need assistance. Sincere ~"'+ Arm Lisa M.

Heading the list was the lack of restriction on multiple family dwellings in the Suburban Residential Zones. Other deficiencies were noted by my neighbors and as a committee, we are proposing a new Suburban Residential Zone for the purpose of protecting current and future residential communities from possible loss of property value. As a resident of Woodland subdivision for twenty-three years, I have seen a first class subdivision decline due to sub-standard (for Woodland) development. Smaller lots, smaller homes, poor construction, and indiscriminant tree-cutting by developers have reduced this subdivision to second rate. Residents in Redoubt subdivision are equally concerned about the decline of building standards in their area. Our committee thinks this new zone is a way to preserve the integrity of these and future developments. The key changes in this code, other than single family dwellings, are found in (f) Development Requirements as to water and sewer, underground utilities, paved streets, subdivision access, preservation of mature trees, and lot sizes. Our hope is to propose this zone for existing residential subdivisions and all undeveloped lands bordering them. The second and third pages identify those specific properties. Last year your commission asked the audience to propose a new zone that would include our concerns and thus this proposal. We look forward to your consideration of these changes. ~~~: : d ~~~ ~~~ Michael Christian 613 Maple Drive P~~~ Existing Subdivisions: Woodland Subdivision Redoubt Terrace Subdivision Inlet Woods Subdivision Adjacent Properties 1.

Michelle gave the board an overview of The Nature Conservancy of Alaska. Each member was given a packet of handouts that included the mission of TNC of Alaska as welt as program accomplishments, the bioreserve approach to conservation and the schedule for the "Forces of a River", Kenai River Community Forum. Michelle explained that TNC is a national non profit conservation organization that has been helping to protect special conservation lands within nature preserves or donating lands at cost to state or federal agencies. Recently, TNC has been working to protect bioreserve habitat on a bigger scale. The Alaska TNC office was opened in 1988. The decision was made early on that the focus would not be as much on land purchasing in Alaska, but working- with communities either with technical assistance, information or funding. Michelle discussed the Bioreserve approach to conservation. With this approach TNC spends time to learn about a community's needs, the gaps is conservation and offers help as needed. From this approach, Michelle says she learned that people wanted ideas on how to involve themselves in protecting the Kenai River. Because of these ideas, the "Forces of a River", Kenai River Community Forum was developed to be held at Skyview High School on April 19, 20 and 21. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD -January 11, 1996 B. Draft Kenai River Protection Area Ordinance, Lisa Parker, KPB 2 Lisa discussed the Borough's Habitat Tax credit ordinance. This allows property owners who have undertaken habitat restoration projects to get a tax credit. This credit is applied only to the land portion of the tax bill. The credit received is up to 50% of the taxes on the land for 3 years. Alaska Stawtes require that before a tax credit is issued, the Commissioner of Fish and Game must approve the project. Examples of projects which may be approved are floating docks, spruce cabling, ladders, and board walks. Lisa then provided an overview of the draft Habitat Protection Zone Ordinance, which is being considered by the Assembly's Land Ilse Committee. All the KRSMA Board members should have received a copy by mail from the Boro. The ordinance was based on the report done by the Kenai River Working Group. The ordinance establishes a 50 foot habitat protection zone. It identifies those things that people can do in that area as well as what people cannot do in that area, and activities which are authorized but require permit, i.e. boardwalks, etc. My other activities that a person might propose would go to the Boro Planning department with a request for a variance. The applicant would need to prove why the variance would not cause erosion or destruction of habitat in that area. Prior existing uses which might not otherwise be authorized would be grandfathered. The ordinance does allow for cities (i.e., Soldotna and Kenai) to administer the ordinance. Lisa stated that the floodplain was not included in the first draft of the ordinance, but due to public comment, it will be added. Also there was discussion about the grandfathering rights and whether they should be valid in perpetuity or discontinued once the property is sold to a new owner. There was also discussion about what maintenance would be permitted on developments which were grandfathered, as well as how to define "grandfathering". The Boro will have their next working session on January 22 at 5:00 pm in Conference Rooms A 8t B at the Borough Administration Building to review revised draft. It was suggested by Lisa that if there are items that should be changed or listed in the ordinance they be directed or sent to Betty Glick who is the Chair of the Land Use Committee. There was much discussion that ensued with many board members asking Lisa questions. Irv Carlisle expressed grave concerns about why the floodplain was not included in the ordinance, who made the decision to omit and why? Irv referred to page 2, section 0.40 Habitat Protection Area Established. He stated that the KR Working Group wanted the 100 yr floodplain to be included and asked if it can be changed to read that way. Lisa replied that the KR Working Group had wanted it to read that a permit is required within the floodplain and since the floodplain already requires a permit, a reference to this ordinance is ail that is needed. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT 3 AREA ADVISORY BOARD - January 1 1, 1996 Lance stated that the present floodplain ordinance is not intended to protect fish habitat while the KR Working Group clearly intended that fish habitat was to be protected within the floodplain. Lance read a recommendation that was written by the Kenai River Working Group: "A permit for development within the 100 year floodplain is required. Most development will be reviewed and administered by the appropriate municipal planning department to insure its development will not result in erosion, destruction of wetlands, ground or water pollution and will reasonably protect riparian habitat." Ted reminded the board that from a property owner's perspective, the 50 foot protection area where essentially the vegetation wilt be left undisturbed was a recommendation made by the KR Property Owner's Association Last year. Ted stated that this proposed ordinance is a tremendous improvement over positions taken .before by the property owners and suggested that it is important the get the best deal through to protect habitat before the construction season starts this year even though we may not get it alt in one bite. He further stated that it is better to get something on the books and revise it further later. Irv mentioned that he is very uncomfortable with putting the Kenai River Working Group's statement under the heading "purpose" in the proposed ordinance. He feels a section. written into. the ordinance called "activities requiring permits" should be added to mention the l00 year floodplain. Irv said he feels that there are a number of property owners who are very concerned about their properties and would support a more restrictive ordinance, especially after the flood of 95. Lisa then reiterated that if there are members of the board who want to make comments on the ordinance, Betty Glick has asked to have anyone call or write to her. Lisa informed the board that she has also been helping Kenai River property owners come into compliance with the floodplain ordinance. There have been about 80 properties surveyed with as-builts provided that show the owners their structure locations, setbacks, depth and width of lot, base flood elevation and where their structure sits in relation to the base flood elevation. Surveys completed after the flood indicate that most of the structures built after the 1986 floodplain ordinance went into effect were built above the flood elevation. Peggy made a motion to the board suggesting the board send their comments to the Boro urging that the flood plain language provided by the KR Working Group be added. Tom Knock seconded the motion. The Board then directed staff to send the following statement to Betty Glick, Chair of the Land Ilse Committee: "A permit for development within the l 00 year floodplain is required. Most development KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT 4 AREA ADVISORY BOARD -January 11, 1996 will be reviewed and administered by the appropriate municipal planning department to insure its best development will not result in erosion, destruction of wetlands, ground or water pollution and will reasonably protect riparian habitat." Lisa then discussed the Kenai River Center. Within the next couple weeks an MOU will be signed by DNR, ADFBZG, KP Boro and DGC. The Boro is developing a Request For Proposal for office space bids in the general vicinity of Soldotna. The KR Center will have the following functions: accept permit applications for the river, including applications for development within the flood plain, habitat tax credit requests, Fish and Game permits, Alaska State Park Permits (to include KR Guides and Commercial Operators); permit coordination for property owners, technical assistance; an area will serve as a library with books related to various activities on the river. Lisa mentioned that there are hopes that the Boro may even get a biologist on staff. Chris offered Llsa the assistance of the Board's "Kenai River Center" committee and said that they will be available to help with developing operations plans for the Kenai River Center. C. Board Terms. Chris stated that when the Governor appointed the new members, deciding the terms for appointments was overlooked. Chris suggested that the current appointments which would expire this month be extended to January 1997 and the new appointments would expire January l 998. The Board was asked if they support this suggestion. Unanimous support was obtained by the board members. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Management Plan Committee Report -Jim A. started this topic off by talking about the best use of time for all involved in the revision of the Management Plan. It was suggested at the last meeting that Chris get in touch with DNR's Div. of Lands and request planning assistance from them. The request was made by Chris to Marty Rutherford and is in the process but there is no word as of this date if that will be approved. Chris then discussed the highlights of the afternoon committee meeting for those members who were not able to attend. Chris stated that she had made a proposal to Marty Rutherford suggesting there are two directions to go in the revision of the KRCMP. The first could be a minor amendment of the plan, changing a few of the little problems. This probably would not be as meaningful. Or the other alternative would be to reflect the concern that something more significant needs to be done. The latter seriously considers the changes that have occurred and develops a plan that allows some flexibility in management alternatives. Chris stated that board members have expressed the latter as the KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD -January 11, 1996 best way to go. .~.5 The committee talked about this and came up with three different ideas on how to achieve this: 1)Come up with funds and hire a facilitator, 2) Rely solely on the Boro to provide a planner through the Kenai River Center to assist with the process, or 3) Solicit a planner from DNR Lands to lead the planning effort, and possibly combine their efforts with the Boro planner to help with the process. Chris said Marty Rutherford has been talking to Jane Angvik, the new Division of Lands director, about whether a Lands planner will be available. Next week Lisa Parker, Chris and Suzanne are meeting with Marty and staff from the Div. of Lands to discuss the KRCMP revision process and identify priorities to get the process going. From the committee meeting this afternoon it was identified that the Management Plan needs to address: 1. Ecosystem approach/to include entire watershed. 2. Useful to ALL: State/Fed/Boro/private. 3. Needs ful( time, committed planner for approximately 18 months. 4. Should address major issues: 1. Protection of FBtW resources and habitat. 2. Land Uses; developmenu, both commercial and private. 3. Recreational Use. 4. Water quality. 5. Enforcement. Chris also said she would provide the board with written minutes from the committee meeting. It was agreed by ail the members that the Commissioner needs to hear of the Board's wishes. If the Board is going to provide a plan that meeu the intent of the Governor, the plan will be need to be significantly revised. A letter to the Commissioner will be sent asking for his assistance in this process. Jim A. reminded the Board that this is one of the Governor's top priorities. Jim H. made a motion that Jim A. and Chris get together and write a letter with a copy to the Governor. This was unanimously supported. It was suggested by Chris that an invitation to Commissioner Shively be made for the February meeting as he will already be in Kenai. It was agreed the next board meeting .. will be the 13th of February to accommodate the Commissioner. Some items for KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT 6 AREA ADVISORY BOARD - ]anuary 1 1, 1996 discussion for the Commissioner would be: updating the plan, guide limit process, Kenai River Center, Kenai River stamp. B. PERMIT COMMITTEE REPORT Suzanne discussed the draft management agreement between the Kenai Peninsula Borough and DNR for the 29 acres of the Caymas subdivision. A copy of this draft was distributed to the Permit Committee along with a copy of an interim recreational development and restoration program application. The Borough has applied for oil spill grant monies to do some restoration at this subdivision in the event the land is not transferred to DNR. The property is already receiving damage from use and the Boro would like to provide protective fencing and signing on the property. There will also be a section line easement and a riverfront easement vacation request coming from the property owners who live adjacent to the Caymas subdivision in April. The committee members will review the section line easement and the management agreement and at the next committee meeting it will be further discussed and recommendations developed. Suzanne wilt also invite Lisa Parker or someone from her staff to attend that meeting to make a full presentation to the whole board. There was also discussion on the Grant Lake hydroelectric proposal at the committee meeting. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission responded to the board's letter from November 21, 1995 and advised us that they had already issued a preliminary permit and once they do that, the action becomes final. Therefore our request to be an "intervener" was tardy. However, once an application for the final license for this project comes through we will be notified and at that time invited again to intervene in the process. Suzanne stated that for the next permit committee one of the agenda items will be stream corridors and stream management areas. V. Pl1BLIC COMMENT VI. ADJOCIRNMENT A. Board Comments - Ken: Found reading everyone's vision statements very interesting. Jim A: Asked about getting a copy of the Bylaws Revisions. Chris said they were sent to Commissioner Shiveley for his approval and signature and all the board members will receive a copy when they are returned. KENAt RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD -January 11, 1996 7 Duane: An update on the Kenai River Summit; David Allen, Regional~Director of IISFWS, has developed a draft commitment statement for the cooperative management of the Kenai River. Duane said that this is a step in right direction. This statement of commitment will be signed by the Regional Forester for the Forest Service, Regional Director of Fish and Wildlife Service, FBtG Commissioner Frank Rue and DNR Commissioner John Shively. B. Date/Agenda of next meeting. February 13, 1996 at Kenai .Peninsula Boro Assembly Chambers. The March meeting date was also set at this time for March 7 at CIAA.

Richka Park Estates Phase 1 (Final) KPB FILE 95-056 Staff report as read by Maria Sweppy. PC Meeting 2/12/96 Location: City of Kenai, off Birch Drive and 5th Avenue Proposed Use: Residential, Recreational, Commercial, Agricultural Zoning: Rural Residential Sewer/Water: Sewer: On-site & City; Water: City Supporting Information: A preliminary plat of Richka Park Estates was submitted for review and approval to the Borough Planning Commission on May 8, 1995. The preliminary had not received approval from the City of Kenai due to lack of a quorum at any of the three meetings to which it was presented for review. Noting that the final plat would not be approved by the Borough without an installation agreement (or a letter stating that such an agreement was not necessary) from the City of Kenai and that development could not take place upon the lots unless that development was in compliance with the City of Kenai's Zoning Codes, the Borough Planning Commission granted conditional preliminary approval of the plat. The final plat under review this meeting is labeled Phase 1 and subdivides the parcel into two large tracts. One tract contains 5.986 acres, and the other tract contains the remaining 34.098 acres. No right-of-way is dedicated by this plat. Both tracts front on existing rights-of--way. The interior lot line between Tracts A and B follows lot lines shown on the preliminary. The submittal letter does not indicate any future plans for the two tracts. If the intent is to use the prior approved subdivision design as a continuation of this subdivision, that portion should be an unsubdivided remainder not included within the boundary. The next submittal would then be Phase 2. If the plat is filed with both a Tract A and a Tract B as shown, the next submittal would be treated as a new preliminary being a subdivision of a portion of an existing subdivision. This will be the subdivider's choice. The City of Kenai reviewed this final plat at their Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on January 10, 1996. They recommended approval in their Resolution PZ 96-4. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Grant approval of the final plat subject to any above recommendations, and the following conditions: 1. Designate location of wet marshy areas within subdivision. 2. Identify existing easements and label use; or cite record reference. 3. Survey and monumentation to meet Ordinance requirements or an exception having been granted. 4. Plat is within city limits. Correct Note 2 to remove reference to the building setback. 5. Conform to conditions of KPB Planning Commission Resolution 78-6. 6. State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation requires their approval on the final plat and recorded instruments in accordance with 18AAC Chapter 72 Article 3. 7. Compliance with Ordinance 90-38 (Substitute) -Ownership. 8. Estimated taxes for 1996 must be paid prior to issuance of a Tax Certificate.

Board Members ........... 8 Membership Survey ....... 8 In many ways, 1995 has been a landmark year for the ,`~ Alaska Chapter. We have branched out in some new directions, solidified linkages with allied professions, and made ow collective voice heard in Juneau during the legislative session. .,~,~ Facilitation, the art of helping people talk with one another, explore alternatives and achieve consensus is growing in importance as a part of the planner's tool bag. It appears that, as a profession, planners are increasingly being called on to help organize visioning and brain storming sessions, and to strucdu~e the output into useable results. In Fehruary,1995, APA volunteers Jon lasses and George Cannelos joined other design professionals, state officials and the community of Soldotna In "Mainstreet Alaska: Soldotna'95". As a result of the successful "Mainstreet" project, the chapter has been called onto assist in facilitating other visioning sessions. In the past year APA members have been involved in two winter Cities design charrettes in Anchorage, and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has asked the chapter to sponsor and help present a February 1996 conference (see separate article this issue). During 1995, the chapter cor-tinued its well recognized program of training for local planning commissioners by taking the training on the road to Ketchikan. The training session ably orchestrated by Elizabeth Benson, focused on issues most h~cely to be encountered by Southeast communities. The Executive Board has been considering expanding the training sessions to two workshops per year, if sufficient APA members can be recruited to assist with the effort. With the impetus of a national APA grant, the Alaska Chapter has increased its involvement in the legislative process. In January, 1995, training was offered to APA members interested in participating on the chapter Legislative Committee. Advice on how the legislature works and ways to participate was offered by then Senator (and SPA member) Suzanne Little and Dave Harding an aide to Representative Eileen McLean. A three point strategy emerged from this session; this being: 1) pick APA related issues carefully; 2) work in alliance with those who share ow interests; and 3) offer pro-active, solution oriented testimony. Under the leadership of committee chair Jon Isaacs, the chaptur presented testimony on HB 154, popularly known as the "Takings" bill, sponsored by Representative Vc Kohring, and worked closely with the Alaska Municipal League in tracking the bill's progress. Discussions on the "Takings" theme was carried over into the 1995 affiusl cxmfer+ence, held in conjunction with the Alaska Municipal League meetings, in Valdez is ~ ` ' November. Ia z~ition of APA's leadership and expertise in the "Takings" area, the Municipal Managers Association requested that APA members present joint sessions on the topic; APA also sponsored a session on "Takings" on the AML agenda. The conference afforded those attending with access to a telecxmferenced work session on the bill, expert analysis by longtime APA member and attorney Lee Sharp, and as opportunity to discuss the legislation's potential impact on their individual communities. Thanks to APA members Dave Dengel, 'George Cannelos and Jan lasses for putting together such a timely and meaningful annual conference. As we move ahead into 1996, it is clear that there is much opportunity on the horizon for the Alaska Chapter and for its members. It is also clear that we need to take stock of our members needs and desire to participate. Please take a few minutes to compl~e and return the brief membership survey enclosed in tbis newsletter. Our chapter is a totally volunteer effort, and our success relies on the interest and participation of every member. Please indicate on the survey those activities in which you would like to participate, and how the Chapter may serve you better. You will get afollow-up communication from another volunteer, who will explore with you the type of activity that best meets you professional and personal development needs. Its been a privilege to serve as yow chapter president these past fow years. Please join me in actively supporting the incoming president and in doing all we can together to improve the quality of planning in the Greatland. A warm thanks from all of us to you Mitzi for all of yow hard work over the years.... this does not mean, of course, that yow are absolved from assisting of the various Chapter projects! JD. Northern Update by Earl Finkler, vce-President for the Northern Region Greetings from the far north and thanks to John Duffy and his team for taking on the job of preparing and producing ow APA Chapter newsletter. John and I both share strong support for the Chicago Cubs. And being planners, we both predict that the Cubs will be 3ALASl!CACHAPTER January, 1996 in the World Series in 1996. Yes, we have had this position before, but this time we really feel it! I often hear favorable comments about our Chapter newsletter from planners around the lower 48. Just think about it --for most of them this is one of the only source of information about our state and its planning issues, planning controversies and planners! So an we begin a now calendar year, let's all pledge to contnbute as much as possible to the newsletter -- even humor and lighter insights now and then. Moving around the Northern Region, Planning Director Frank Stein of the Northwest Arctic Borough in Kotzebue said one of the big efforts there, is a Borough-wide transportation plan, which includes staking for over 780 miles of trails on land and the ice. He said the project, which is being funded under both federal and state programs, involves 11 villages, and should be getting underway soon. "I've traveled around to the villages to see what the people want and what kind of staking they want," Stein said. On the North Slope, Acting CIl' Planner Bob Harcharek of the Borough Planning Department has traveled to Pahner several times now to obtain a few ideas about the Mat-Su Borough's CIP planning process. Thanks to Mat-Su's staff for their assistance. We can all learn from each other in this vast state - that is one of the big contributions of our Alaska APA Chapter. From the North, our best wishes for you and your families for a healthy and happy 1996! legislative body actually wants a comprehensive plan. The plan will also look at groundwater, flooding and other land. use issues. If anyone has any standards for maintaining horses and livestock on small residential lots please let me know That's all for now, I hope everyone has a productive 1996. Southeast Update by Beth McKibben, Vice-President for Southeast Region WeII, to begin with, I am no longer with the City and Borough of Yakutat, I am now working for the Mat-Su Borough Planning Department (the editor has removed a certain comment made here about the Borough Planning Director, you'll have to call Beth to find out what it was!!) So far it is a good move forme, although I do miss Yakutat. Yakutat is advertising for a Planner, if you would like snore information call: City and Borough of Yakutat, 907 784-3323, Monday-Friday, 9-5. As far as planning news goes for Yakutat,. the comment period for the Public Hearing draft of the Yakutat Coastal Management Program ended October 15, 1995. We received many comments, some surprising, marry expected. The consultants and the Planning Commission have a big job ahead. Negotiating compromise for some of the issues may prove to be difficult. The Borough plans to have a Concept Approved Draft delivered to the Coastal Policy Council this coming spring. Southcentral Update By Dave Dengel, Vice-President for Southcentral Region Greetings from Valdez. I hope everyone had a happy holidays. As we start the new year we are looking at new challenges. For one, what to do during winter when there is no snow. When I look out my window these days I see grass, very unusual for Valdez. Usually I can't even see out my window, much less see grass. We are busy in Valdez with a number of things. Horses and livestock are again in the forefront. It must be winter. The city council has placed a moratorium on the issuance of conditional use permits for the raising of livestock in rural residential neighborhoods until a comprehensive plan is prepared for the area. That's a new one on me, where the Another tough job the Planing Commission is undertaking is zoning. Currently, all lands outside the previous city limits are not zoned The Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in April, 1995, makes recommendations for zoning. This last summer the Planning Commission began discussions of zoning for the service area. The Commission tabled the discussions until winter, when life slows down. The next few months will be busy in Yakutat, its a good way to stay out of trouble!

Hundreds of Planners Attend Fall Conference by Jon Isaacs, President Several hundred planning commissioners from across Southcentral Alaska descended on Valdez in masse during the week of November 13th, 1995, to participate in the annual Fall Conference of the Alaska Chapter of the American Planning Association. Well„ not really, bpt it sure sounds great, doesn't it? Actually, several hundred munipipal officials flew to Valdez to attend the annual Municipal League Conference, and many officials also attended the very successful two day APA Coherence held November 13th and 14th. About 15 brave, harder planners attended. The theme of this year's gathering was "Takings»; a controversial topic with no shortage of opinions and perspectives. Chapter President Mitzi Barker welcomed the group Monday afternoon. Jon Isaacs then presided over a plenary sesion which included about 60 municipal managers, attorneys and officials, in addition to planners. The "Takings» issue refers to the right of government to "take° property for public purposes, and the requirement under the U.S. Constitution to compensate property owners when they do so. Problems arise when government actions, such as zoning regulations, act to limit a person's full use of property. When is such an action a normal principle of give and take, and when does it become a taking, requiring monetary compensation? Lee Sharp presented the historic and legal background of the takings issue, citing several recent court cases. George Cannelos summarized recent actions in Washington State to pass an initiative (R48) requiring compensation to landowners for any reduction in property values resulting fiom any regulation imposed for the public benefit. Ten states have passed some form of "takings" legislation in recent years, and more states are considering such an action. R48 came about after the Governor vetoed a "takings" bill passed by the Washington Legislature. The initiative failed after receiving about 425,000 yes votes to 630,000 no votes. George's information was prepared by Gondon Lewis, who presented this material during an AML panel later in the week Representative Vic Kahing is leading an effort to have "takings» legislation passed in Alaska. His bill, HB 154, would also require cx~mpensation for airy governmental action resulting in a drop in property values. A landowner would have ten years to demand compensation. The bill is currently in the House Judiciary Subcommittee. On Tuesday, the planners were able to listen to a teleconference originating from legislafive offices in Wasilla. A number of invited witnesses testified in favor of the bill. As they ran out of witnesses, we were invited to testify and Jon Isaacs diplomatically pointed out our willingnes to work with the sponsors to craft a better piece of legislation. Both the Chapter and AML have serious reservations regarding HB 154. Requiring compensation for any negative result of any regulation would create chaos for zoning, subdivision, platting and other land use controls and regulations. One could conclude that stream setbacks, for example, lower waterfront property values. Implementation would create immense problems for local governments, and the cxmpensation costs would be unaffordable. Our hope is to remove the bill from active consideration this session, and form an inter-disciplinary task force to prepare more workable legislation. Jon lsaacs and Mitzi Barker participated in several important AML sessions following the planning conference. In a very hopeful breakthrough AML invited APA to participate in their standing legislative policy committee. In other busines, the group had an opportunity to describe important planning projects and issues in their respective communities. Jon Isaacs showed the Mains~seet Soldotna '95 video filmed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Mitzi Barker provided an overview of housing program and initiatives sponsored by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. The group also debated on how to improve attendance at the annual APA conference. Ideas ranged from holding a .. :: .. .... ~ ALASKA CHAPTER ! January, i 996 separate spring conference in Anchorage, to combining the APA Conference with the annual Planning Commissioners Training conference. AML representatives asked that general planning training be given to newly elected municipal officials so that they might work better with their local planning commissions. Finally, the planners and attorneys and others later converged a local night spot for a very successful joint dinner. for the Northern Region and John Duffy will continue to perform the Secretary/Treasurer's duties. Planning Commissioner's Corner Among the usual and unusual cast of characters: Dave Dengle, Planning Director for Valdez, was an excellent host, making everyone feel welcome. Duane Dvorak, Planning Director for Wasilla, made the drive and. confirmed that there was no snow anywhere..... From father up the road, the largest single delegation was from the Denali Borough with Jerry Mueller, Bill Perhatch and Neal Laugman in attendance. The newest member Bob Bright, Planning Director for the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, recently moved to Alaska from Durango, Colorado. Rounding out Southeast representation was Leo Loussac from Petersburg. Jon Isaacs gets special recognition for organizing and acting as the presiding officer for the conference. And fellow consultant Gordon Lewis flew in later in the week to present the Takings Material at an AML workshop. The next annual APA conference will be November 1996 in Anchorage in conjunction with the Alaska Municipal League. We intend to have a door prize a "got out of being nominated for a Chapter office" coupon. See you there!

Earl Finkler was re-elected as vce-President by Mae Tischer, Planning Commissioner, Matanuska-Susitna Borough TRAVELER'S ADVICE: BETTER SIGNAGE! Wherever follcs travel these days, the highways and byways hold an abundance of gorgeous scenery, vistas, and quaint hideaway places you would just love to see---if you could just find them. Whatever road you find yourself on, you depend on road signs to tell what road you are actually on, what direction you are heading, how far to the next town, even what kind of services are available and how far away they maybe. Some states do a respectable job with signage, while others need considerable improvement. ffyou travel the highways in Central Alaska, it is pretty hard to lose your way as there is only one major highway entering the State from Canada which leads the traveler to either Fairbanks, Valdez or Anchorage and then eventually the Kenai Peninsula. Under these conditions, directional road signs are not a very high priority for residents. However, visiting drivers (many who are seasoned travelers traveling in all kinds of vehicles) are acxustomed to, and expect to see signage to provide them with a variety of information, such as: advance notice of their destination, where they can pull off the road safely to view scenery or nest, buy a sandwich or fill up the gas tank. As we Alaskans all know, it might mean driving another 50 miles or more as our great State is so large. Without advance notice, the traveler unfamiliar with our state or the one taking in all the scenery, little advance notice could mean inconvenience or even trouble for the unwary traveler. Because Alaska's economy depends heavily on the tourism industry, it is essential that visitors enjoy their stay and fmd their travels convenient so that they will return and also recommend our State it to others. Signs placed by local businesses along highways have been under attack in recent years. What began as a campaign based on good intentions to restrict unsightly advertising and obstructions of scenic quality seems to have unfortunately escalated into eliminating essential road 6 ALASKA CHAPTER ' January,'1996 '; signage which deprives the traveling public of signage to direct them toward their destination in unfamiliar territory. A recent article in the December issue of "HIGHWAY"' magazine, written by full-time RV'er Jim Turk, maintains: "that signs, or the lack of them, are close to being public enemy No. l ". He laments that most cities, counties, and states appear to be sublimely ignorant of how to direct travelers, especially RV'ers. He further sites several principles of good signage: • Plenty of contrast between background and lettering, • Signs should be large enough to be legible to approaching traffic so that drivers can safely slow down and move to the correct lane, • Signs should be the appropriate height and erected in a conspicuous location, lighted if possible, and • Reassurance signs should be used to remind the driver that, yes, this is the correct route. Mr Turk further states that sign laws that mandate small and inconspicuous signs not only penalize retail firms but are a safety hazard to motorists. "Someone has to wake up these officials and introduce them to the real world." training seminar is scheduled for March 9,1996 in Anchorage. It will be a one day session on a Saturday. Brochures with seminar i~ormation will be mailed out in mid February. As with past training sessions, the topics will bemainly about the "nuts and bolt" for new commissioners or those commissioners who need a refresher course. Perennially favorite topics include: legal issues such as ex pane' contacts, conflict of interest, open meetings; decision-making, 'variances and conditional use permits; "takings" and what you need to know in 1996; and roles and responsibilities of a good commissioner. The format for the training will be changed slightly to allow more time for questions and discussion amongst the participants. The training is typically very intense and fast passed and this year we want to be sure to have enough time for discussion .Look for thu brochure in your mailbox coming soon. If you have any questions, please call Elizabeth Benson at 90?-274-2000. Legislative Update by Jon Isaacs, President Upcoming Session The article concludes with this advice: A sign "Must be large enough and legible enough to be read and understood by grandma wearing thick glasses, looking through a dirty windshield on an overcast day, while driving SOmph in busy traffic, while talking on her cellular phone." Good advice for Planners, wouldn't you say?? This new addition to the Chapter's newsletter is set aside for comments from Alaska's Planning Commissioners. This quarter's's comments are from Commissioner Tischer of the Mat-Su Borough. Ready to be a Planning Commissioner? by Elizabeth Benson, Chapter Training Officer Yes, the Alaska Chapter, in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs, will be sponsoring planning commissioner training in the spring and winter of 1996. The annual planning commission The Alaska Chapter of APA heads into the upcoming 1996 Legislative Session with several accomplishments and increased recognition. During the last session we tracked several bills and testified on two of them: House Bill 154 "Takings" (V. Kohring, Wasilia) and House Bill 133 "Transportation and Public Participation (K. Brown, Anchorage). We coordinated with several groups, most notably with the Alaska Municipal League (AML). We also improved contacts with the Municipal Associations for Managers, Attorneys, and Assessors. At our annual Planning Conference in Valdez, we coordinated with all these groups and sponsored several joint sessions on "Takings" background and issues, through the efforts of George Cannelos, Gordon Lewis, and myself. In addition to increased exposure with these groups, we have been asked to participate on AM L's Legislative Committee. For the upcoming session, the APA Legislative Committee has several tasks to address: • act as a true committee and utilize our geographic diversity • decide on priorities for APA National Legislative Grant Funds • develop strategies for HB 154 and HB 133 • set priorities for addressing new legislation . 7ALASKA-CHAPTER January, 1996 Legislative Committee Committee member tasks should include making decisions of use of funds, tracking and setting priorities on legislation, getting and distributing drafts of legislation, and coordinating lobbying with other groups. If you are interested in being a committee member, please indicate this on the survey form or call meat 274-9719. Others who indicated interest last year will be contacted. I would like to have the committee formed by the mid February. Potential use of fiords includes travelling for AML committee meetings and testifying and lobbying, training similar to last year, computer programs for tracking legislation; and communication/faxing/Intemet rusts. House Bill 154 HB 154 is likely to remain the bill with the most widespread implication for APA members and their employers. If passed in its current fonm, it will have significant legal and fiscal impacts on local government, and could greatly restrict planning and land use regulations. The takings issue is a national one and will not go away. Individually, we need to be aware of how our action can constitute takings, and need to take steps to avoid takings where we can, and provide legally supported justification when takings cannot be avoided At a minimum, we need to make sure that municipal managers and attorneys are aware of the status and implications of the bill, and contact their legislators on this issue. As an alternative to this bill, we are suggesting that legislation be postponed, and a state Taskforce appointed to address this issue. Material prepared the annual conference workshops and APA on the "Takings" issue is available and can be sent to you upon request. House Bill 133 We will continue to track HB 133 and follow up on our offer to work with the House Transportation committee and the Administration on improving this bill. Upcoming Le 'sligi anon We will track legislation introduced as it comes up. If there are bills you know about, or have interest in specific bills let me know We would like to use E-mail or an Internet Web/Homepage (see survey) as much as possible to keep APA members can ent on legislative matters, and will distribute a monthly update one way or another. Continuing Education from Tim Akers, Executive Assistant American Institute of CertiSed Planners All AICP members should be involved in some form of continuing education as a method of keeping current with the profession The AICP Continuing Professional Development Program (CPDP) serves as a mechanism for the professional planner to meet at least some of this commitment. A guide has been developed to explain how AICP members can participate in this program. It is available from the national AICP office or the chapter Professional Development Officer. The Chapter's Professional Development Officer is Marvin Thomason, AICP (~07- 552-3376). Please cxmtact Marvin for a program summary and information request form.

Planning Commissioners Invade Ketc h i ka n by Elizabeth Benson, Chapter Training Officer Planning commissioners from southeast Alaska spent two productive days in Ketchikan with trainers from the Alaska Chapter. The Chapter, in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs, sponsored the training and brought in speakers from Anchorage, Palmer, Juneau, and Ketchikan. Training topics included the roles and responsibilities of the planning commisioner, legal issues, decision-making, the comprehensive plan, "takings", NIlviBYs and LULUs, and how to work more effectively with staff and applicants. Speakers included Susan Bell from the Ketchikan V sitors Association, John Corso with the City and Borough of Juneau, John Duffy with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Peter Freer with the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs, Barbara Sheinberg with Sheinberg and Associates, and Elizabeth Benson with HDR Engineering.
