Bryson noted that luckily no one appeared for any of the road name changes commenting that hearings can go on for a lengthy period of time if people don't agree with suggested changes. Bryson noted the bulk were approved as suggested, several were modified and several postponed. Bryson noted there were two items on the agenda that affect the city. Bryson stated one is a proposed amendment to Chapter 21.18, The Kenai River Habitat Protection Ordinance. The other is proposed amendments to Chapter 5.14, Kenai River Habitat Protection Tax Credit. Bryson noted the tax credit ordinance addresses interpretation of what constitutes a facility they would approve. Bryson stated the Kenai River Habitat Protection area attempts to clean up definitions also. c. Administration La Shot stated that Councilman Smalley asked him to bring the Commission up to date on the ARFF (Alaska Regional Fire Fighting) facility. La Shot noted there was a large presentation at the last council meeting about the facility. La Shot stated they are reaching a point wherein the city must make a decision regarding the size and how much the city is willing to commit from the airport fund given the amount of federal funds available. At the next council meeting an ordinance will be introduced to appropriate funds to complete the design work. La Shot stated that hopefully, two meetings away will be an award to complete the design work. La Shot stated that will complete design work in early summer and will hopefully put it out to bid then. La Shot commented that the article in the paper today was accurate as to how the funding is done noting there are no local tax dollars used unless you consider the federal tax dollars. La Shot added that there will be no local tax dollars used to operate or maintain the facility. La Shot stated the plan is for the facility to be self-sustaining but if not, the airport fund would be used to supplement the facility. Glick asked about the size of the airport fund. La Shot stated there are two different funds, one with all land sales and lease moneys. La Shot stated the principle of that fund has reached $10 million noting only the earnings of that fund is put into the other fund which is Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 Minutes February 12, 1997 ~~ the fund that can be used. The interest is about $8 million. La Shot noted there are not many ways the community can use the money and this project appears to be one that will qualify. 12. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: 13. INFORMATION ITEMS: a. Borough Planning Commission Information b. Comprehensive Plan Funding Request Letter c. Letters received regarding kennel permits. d. Margery A. Price seminar information 14. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: Glick asked about the Price seminar information provided in the packet. Kebschull advised it was provided from the City Clerk adding that they may be interested in the seminar on effective meeting techniques. Glick asked how soon the city would need to know if someone was interested in attending. Kebschull advised she did not feel there were funds available to pay for the seminar unless the City Clerk had legislative funds available. Christian commented on the letters in the packet regarding kennel permits noting he has received numerous calls on the kennel issue. Christian added he has spoken to Bill Godek stating that Godek thinks it would make his job easier if the Planning Commission would make a stand in terms of the code or a law that addressed the issuance of kennel licenses in subdivisions such as Redoubt. Christian stated he would like to poll the group to see if this would be a worthwhile venture on his part. Christian stated that in his subdivision they have three people that have enough dogs to apply for a kennel noting they are located in some of the more crowded lot areas of the subdivision, 9000 square feet. Christian noted it is becoming a problem. Christian stated that some people are afraid of their neighbors and hesitant to file complaints. Christian stated that if there was something in the code to prohibit kennels in certain areas, people wouldn't have to be faced with that and prevent some problems in neighborhoods. Christian reiterated he would like to throw this out and questioned if it would be worthwhile to formally introduce something. Glick asked how Christian would propose limiting areas. Christian stated probably from two angles, one from suburban residential which he felt may not get support. Christian stated another avenue may be in suburban residential subdivisions that have limited lot sizes. Christian stated they could identify lot sizes by 12,000 square feet or less. Christian stated they could say that ownership of more than three dogs would require a kennel permit and would not be allowed on these tracts of land. Christian stated he would like to see how the Commission felt about this before he got more specific. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 February 12, 1997 ~~ Werner-Quade stated she agrees that this issue should come back when there is a full Commission present. Werner-Quade commented that working in the Kasilof wherein they are allowed to have as many pets as they want. Werner-Quade stated she has heard many complaints from people stating they wish they had known they were going to be living next to a dog lot. Werner-Quade noted it is offensive to some people. Werner-Quade stated she felt it important to review the issue. 15.

FROM: Michael Christian, P&Z Commissioner ~~a_ _,~~ RE: Kennels in Suburban Residential Subdivisions Our Feb. 12 packet included letters from concerned residents on the issue of kennels in small lot subdivisions. I had written a letter to Mr. Godek myself, although it was not included in the packet. After discussing the issuance of kennel licenses with Mr. Godek, we thought it a good subject for P&Z discussion. Some concerns raised centered on the advisability of numerous animals on small lots, on the ease of obtaining kennel permits, on the issuance of permits without notification or public hearings, and on the issuance of permits in the hands of one public official. My purpose in issuing this memo is to stimulate thought on the subject before our Feb. 26 meeting so that our discussion can be more efficient. If we choose to look at this issue, please bring your views as to our next step. Possible questions: Should we address kennels in suburban residential zones? "animal boarding" is a cond. use under RR, RR2, & CG only If we address kennels in RS zones should we: a. specify by zone (RS, RS 1, RS2) b. specify by subdivision c. specify by lot size If we zone kennels should it be a. conditional use if animals are pets b. home occupation if breeding for sale c. not permitted beyond 3 dogs or cats Christian Memo p.2 ff conditional use and/or home occupation is permitted do we a. require notification of neighbors b. require public hearing c. issue a conditional use permit If we do not permit kennels, should we a. include all RS b. include only specific small lot subdivisions such as: Redoubt Terrace, Inlet Woods, Woodland, Central Heights, Inlet View, Mumson, etc. Should we address livestock (non-traditional pets) such as pigs, goats, ferrets, pot-bellied pigs, ? Any other idea that needs attention? Hope we can discuss this topic this week without taking too much time. An idea we discussed last year while working on my "Prime Zone" was a notation of N for Not Permitted in the grid of land uses. This could be an excellent use of that idea. Michael Christian Feb. 19, 1997 ~ Mr. William Godek, Kenai Animal Control Officer 210 Fidalgo Street Kenai, AK 99611 January 29, 1997 Dear Mr. Godek It has come to my attention that some residents of Woodland Subdivision have applied for kennel permits so that they might exceed the city's three dog limit. Whether or not these dogs are kept for commercial purposes, as a resident of Woodland, I would like to profess an objection. Woodland is a highly developed residential subdivision whose lots are of medium to small size, especially in parts III and N. With houses and yards so tightly packed, numerous pets, especially dogs, create problems that could become an annoyance at best and a serious conflict at worst. Owning three animals stretches a neighbor's patience but owning more is asking too much. Woodland was developed as a model subdivision at a time when Kenai was growing rapidly and a covenent was filed that addressed animal and pet ownership. The intent was to protect property values and quality of life as well as prevent future conflicts with neighbors. In forbidding commercial kennels and the ownership of numerous large dogs, the covenent hoped to preserve a model suburban setting. Ownership of animals more conducive to rural settings does not belong in a suburban subdivision. The City of Kenai has rural residential zones for that purpose. With this in mind, I strongly protest the issuance of any kennel permits for Woodland Subdivision. The City of Kenai should not encourage the erosion of the quality of subdivisions by pushing the envelope of registered covenents even though they are not responsible for enforcing them. By giving public sanction to multiple animal ownership, the city would be encouraging more violations of city codes as well as subdivision covenents. The city loses tax revenues if property values decline and this has happened in our subdivision due to improper animal care on the part of residents. Please consider refusing these kennel applications. ~ ~ Michael R.

Over the past nine months, through the process of implementing the codes the Planning Commission and the Planning Department have identified areas where amendments to the existing code would be appropriate. Initial briefings occurred in November 1996. At the January 27, 1997 meeting draft language (enclosed) was presented to the Commissioners for consideration. This was followed by a public hearing at the February 10, 1997 meeting in which no public comment was presented on the proposed ordinance. At this meeting, the Borough Planrung Commission requested staff send the proposed ordinance to the Cities of Kenai and Soldotna, Cooper Landing Advisory Plannng Commission, Funny River Advisory Planning Commission and Moose Pass Advisory Plannng Commission. Final consideration was postponed until the March 10, 1997 meeting. The Planning Commission would appreciate your review and comments on the proposed ordinance. Please submit any comments to the department by March 7, 1997. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact Ken Bryant, Kenai River Center, at 260-4882, or Lisa Parker, Planning Director, 262-4441. • KENAI RIVER HABITAT PROTECTION (KI'B 21.18) i 1.

That a new chapter 21.18 to the borough code of ordinances be enacted to read: KENAI RIVER HABITAT PROTECTION 21.18.010 Purpose. Kenai Peninsula Borough. Alaska Ordinance 96-06 Page 1 of 7 Establish measures for the protection of Kenai River Salmon spawning and rearing habitat aze applied in a consistent manner while recognizing private property rights and providing cities the option to administer the ordinance within their boundaries. It is the intent of this ordinance to avoid duplicating regulations of state, federal, or municipal agencies and to minimize conflicts between those regulations and this ordinance. 21.18.020 Findings. In enacting this ordinance the assembly finds numerous factors affect the habitat of the Kenai River. Among others these include bank erosion, bank trampling, pollution, inadequate tourism infrastructure, unsuccessful attempts to remedy bank erosion or protect and restore habitat, inconsistent regulations, logging, grazing, mining, wetland fill and drainage, excavation and fill of property, dredging, inappropriately installed culverts, fuel storage, and maintenance of existing structures. The assembly finds that the sensitivity of the river area requires general prohibition of activities within an azea immediately adjacent to the Kenai River and only activities which do not damage the habitat should be allowed. The assembly finds that certain activities having minor impact and that existing state, federal and local laws and regulations contain sufficient controls on these activities that further regulation is not currently needed. The assembly further finds that fuel storage and significant removal of vegetation within the 100-year flood plain along the Kenai River and its tributaries need regulation to protect the Kenai River salmon habitat. 21.18.030 Periodic Review. As part of its role in comprehensive planning the planning department shall prepaze an assessment of the benefits and effectiveness of this chapter after one year, with a review every two yeazs thereafter. In preparing this evaluation the planning commission shall hold at least one public hearing. 21.18.035 Kenai River watershed district. There is established a Kenai River watershed district comprised of all lands lying within or contiguous to the Kenai River drainage system as bounded and defined on the official map, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A, which shall be kept on file in the planning department. The Kenai _ River drainage system shall include all sections of the Kenai River to its outlet into Cook Inlet, all tributaries and small lake systems including Kenai and Skilak Lakes and their headwaters. The purpose of establishing this watershed district is for watershed boundaries only. Inclusion indicates that the azea is important to the Kenai River watershed. 21.18.040 Habitat protection area established. There is established a Kenai River habitat protection azea within the Kenai River watershed district. Except as otherwise provided in this section, this area includes all lands within 50 horizontal feet of the Kenai River. This shall be measured from the ordinary high water mazk or mean high water line in tidal azeas. Where the banks within this fifty-foot area consist of a 60 degree or more cut bank the habitat protection area shall consist of the greater of ~0 feet from the river or to a point 25 feet back from the top of the cut bank. ~ 21.18.050 Flood plain -Restrictions within for habitat protection -Permit required -Fuel storage tanks and logging -Conditions.

No permit shall be issued for logging unless the borough planning director, or designee, determines the clearing does not result in a cleared area larger than 20 percent of the total area of the pazcel provided that clearing for the footprint of a building may exceed this 20 percent limit. Multiple cleared azeas may exist on a parcel but the total of all such azeas may not exceed 50 percent of the total area of the parcel upon which the logging permit is sought. The planning director may also deny a permit upon a determination that the proposed logging will increase runoff and/or j erosion to such levels that it may significantly damage the riparian habitat and wetlands within the habitat protection azea. E. A decision of the planning director under this section may be appealed to the planning commission.

Graves, City Attorney ~~ZSZVZ~ DATE: February 10, 1997 RE: Cabin Rentals As you know, for some time we have been discussing how to deal with the lack of a definition of the term "cabin rentals" which is in the land use table. In particular, we were considering it in light of the problem which occurred on James Street last year. After discussing it with you and Bob Springer, I came up with a proposed definition of "cabin rentals. " My proposal is to define it as follows: "The renting out of one or more individual, detached dwelling units or buildings to provide overnight sleeping accommodations for a period of less than thirty consecutive days." The Commission should consider which zones would require a conditional use permit for cabin rentals. The definition is designed to cover persons renting out houses or cabins for short periods of time such as to tourists in the summer. It is not intended to cover the ordinary residential renting of property. By state law, unless a rental agreement fixes a definite term, the tenancy of a person who pays rent monthly is considered to be month to month. Alaska Stat. §34.03.020(d) (Michie 1996). Therefore, someone renting a house out on a monthly rental basis or longer would not be covered under this provision. The reason the definition of "cabin rentals" covers a situation where more than one cabin or house on the same property are rented out is that the definition of "motel" requires there to be two or more dwelling units or guest rooms in the building. KMC 14.20.320(b)(51). In this situation there would be only one dwelling unit per building. Therefore, someone who had three individual cabins on a lot would not fall under the definition of a "motel. " Jack La Shot /Robert Springer February 10, 1997 Page 2 of 3 Additionally, the term "hotel" speaks of a building in which guest rooms are rented out on a day-to-day basis. KMC 14.20.320(b)(38). It does not appear to cover the situation where the entire structure such as a cabin or house is rented to one person. During my review of the zoning code on this issue, I noticed that "guest room" is defined as "any room in a hotel, dormitory, boarding or lodging house used or maintained to provide sleeping accommodations for more than two people." KMC 14.20.320(b)(3b) (Emphasis added.) I don't know why a guest room is required to be designed for more than two persons. It seems a rather unusual requirement and one which could create problems in the future. I suggest that while the Commission considers a definition for "cabin rentals" it also consider deleting the phrase "for more than two people" from the end of the definition of "guest room. " During my research on this issue, I noticed that Seward and Soldotna have definitions for "guest house. " "Guest house" is generally defined as an accessory building occupied on a temporary basis solely by non-paying occupant(s). Basically, it's a cabin in the back yard for relatives or friends to stay in when they are visiting. The Commission may want to establish the term "guest house" in the zoning code. If so, they may want to require a conditional use permit to erect one or allow them without a conditional use permit in such zones as RR and R. There have also been discussions regarding the minimum size for a dwelling. Currently the minimum size for dwellings is contained in the Uniform Building Code 11310.6.2 & 310.7. The UBC has been adopted by the City (KMC 4.05). UBC 1310.6.2 provides that a dwelling must have at least one room with 120 square feet of floor area. Other rooms, except the kitchen, must have at least 70 square feet. UBC 1310.7 provides that efficiency dwelling units (a dwelling with only one habitable room) must have at least 220 square feet plus a separate bathroom and closet. One hundred square feet of floor space must be provided for every occupant in excess of two. Some zoning codes provide for minimum sizes for dwellings above those provided by the Uniform Building Code. Often the minimum size varies according to the zone. A format of one for an RS Zone follows: (h) Dwelling Standards: (1) Every one-story single family dwelling hereafter erected in any RS Zone shall have a total ground floor area of not less than square feet measured from the outside of the exterior walls, including utility rooms, but excluding cellars, basements, open porches, garages and other spaces that are not used frequently or during Jack La Shot /Robert Springer February 10, 1997 Page 3 of 3 extended period for living, eating or sleeping purposes, except that rooms intended for such purposes which are "roughed in" and are to be completed within a reasonable time may be considered in computing such ground floor areas. (2) Every single family dwelling of more than one story hereafter erected in any RS Zone shall have a total floor area, measured from the outside of the exterior walls, of not less than squaze feet, including utility rooms, but excluding cellars, basements, open porches, garages and other spaces that aze not used frequently or during extended periods for living, eating or sleeping purposes, except that rooms intended for such purposes which are "roughed in" and are to be completed within a reasonable time may be considered in computing such ground floor areas. (3) Every dwelling unit in two-family structures hereafter erected, converted or reconstructed in the RS Zone shall have a total ground floor azea of not less than squaze feet, measured from the outside of the exterior walls, including cellars, basements, open porches, garages and other spaces that aze not used frequently or during extended periods for living, sleeping or eating purposes, except that rooms intended for such purpose which are "roughed in" and are to be completed within a reasonable time may be considered in computing such ground floor areas. (4) All multiple-family dwelling units (more than two dwelling units) hereafter erected, converted or reconstructed in the RS Zone shall contain not less than square feet of usable floor azea, exclusive of basements, cellars, unfinished attics, open porches and garages. If the Commission wishes to consider minimum dwelling sizes above that set forth in the UBC, the above could be a useful form in which to do it. As you will note, I did not suggest any particular minimum sizes. That is because such determination would be better made by the Commission and you rather than the Legal Department. Once the Commission decides which direction they want to go, I will be glad to prepare any ordinances they feel should go to Council for consideration or provide any other assistance they need on this matter. If you have any questions about this please let me know. CRG/sp Memorandum Date: 02/20/97 To: The Planning & Zoning Commission From: Robert Springer, Building Official RE: CITY ATTORNEY'S MEMO DATED 2/10/97 (CABIN RENTALS) In reference to the information provided to the Planning and Zoning Commission in the above-referenced memorandum, I make the following recommendations: • The City Attorney's definition of "cabin rentals" is appropriate. • The definition of "guest room" in the KMC should be changed as suggested. • The Building Code currently has minimum sizes for dwelling units. No additional regulations should be necessary. The Commission should consider that if a definition for "guest house" is added, it will create an enforcement problem. For example, if an individual gets a CUP to put in a "guest house," but later decides to charge guests, who will enforce the CUP? The city does not currently have an enforcement officer.

Marilyn Heiman, Special Assistaat to the Governor and John Shively, DNR Commissioner: Presentation on the Proposed Outreach Program - Kenai River Portion of Lease Sale 85A. Jim A. provided an introduction of the process for the evening. The presentation will address how the Governor will meet his commitment to using a public outreach program to resolve concerns regarding Lease Sale 85A. Marilyn Heiman was then introduced. Marilyn began by stating that the Governor is very concerned about the issues raised by the public, the KRSMA Board, sportfishing representatives, and property owners along the Kenai River. Knowles had concerns about the process which led to the lease sale and felt that there needed to be a better public input process . The Governor decided to go ahead with the lease sale, but committed to a moratorium on issuance of permits until the public process is completed. Marilyn said tonight what they want to do is get ideas of what the public involvement process should look like. The Governor has asked that a facilitator be hired. There will be no limitation set on what will or will not be accomplished by the process. Marilyn said the Governor places a high priority 'on the Kenai River, therefore when concerns were raised he took them very seriously. During the Governor's first two years in administration there has been a great deal of energy expended on protecting habitat along the river with boardwalks, as well as restoring damaged habitat along the river. -2- Marilyn also announced to the board that Brannon Ames has been appointed to serve on this board, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Irv Carlisle. He is a long time advocate for the Kenai River and lives in Sterling. DNR Commissioner John Shively then addressed the board and the public. Commissioner Shively said he was here for 2 reasons. First of all, to apologize to the board, since clearly it was an oversight that this board was not directly informed about Lease Sale 85A. He said that should have been part of the process of the lease sale. The Kenai River continues to be a high priority for the Governor and also for the Commissioner. The second reason he stated he was here for is to ask for the board's help on what the outline for the stakeholder process should be. He said he would look to the board for their advice on this process. He then briefly reviewed the process they did follow, which unfortunately did not work. The process took 18 months. There were three opportunities for public comments on the lease sale. Additionally there was a public comment period on what is called the preliminary best interest finding. There were. 5 public hearings. There was one Commissioner's round table held in Homer. There was a total of 15 ads in 6 different papers including 3 on the Kenai Peninsula. Of the 15 ads, 7 of them were display ads. That did result in some response. 600 people commented either in writing or in public hearings. However, it was clear at the end of process that there were alot of people that should have known what was being done that did not know. The Commissioner said that drilling in the Kenai River basin is not new. There has been drilling for 40 years with a variety of mitigation measures. He noted that this administration is committed to maintaining the river's health. The Commissioner said he is personally concerned that the 1/4 mile setback in Lease Sale 85A is not enough and a possible mitigation change would be to expand to - a 1/2 mile setback. There will be a facilitator hired to help with the process. There is an RFP going out for a facilitator in the next day. The Commissioner asked for any ideas about how the process can work. He offered a couple of ideas: 1) Start with a broad community workshop on a Saturday where the Commissioner would outline what the situation is, what mitigation measures exist and where questions can be raised. Out of that process a series of recommendations can occur, or from that process form a smaller group that would make the recommendations . The KRSMA board would be involved in this process and the Commissioner invited any and all members to be part of the process. 2) Another approach would be to pick a stakeholders group. Again if that was done, the KRSMA board would be the core of that group. There are certainly a variety of other choices and this is why the Commissioner was here asking for the board's input as well as the public. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL tilANAGEMENT _3_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes Commissioner Shively and Marilyn Heiman then joined the board to field public comments. Jim A. said he is looking for positive results from this process. Because of being involved in the update of the KRCMP, he has noticed that alot of people are concerned about industrial development on the river. Besides oil and gas industry along the river, we should also be addressing other industrial uses too. Betty Farrally: Doesn't understand how anything can be changed since the sale has been done. She is very concerned about the 1/4 mile setback and said we need at least a 1/2 mile setback. She asked how this could be done since the sales are already in place. She said her father's business is dependent on tourism and sees the Kenai River as a very important resource - we can't have oil near our river and expect to maintain the river's renewable resources. She was also surprised that State Parks would allow for oil and gas exploration in the KRSMA as stated in the Comprehensive Management Plan. Commissioner Shively responded that when the oil companies get a lease they do not get an automatic right to drill. They have to go through additional permitting processes to do exploration drilling or to do development drilling. The permitting processes are public and part of them do come under ACMP. The Boro can put additional mitigation measures in as can the State. The other risk the oil industry takes is that State and Environmental laws can change, which would also affect. Brenda Stoops: Representing the Kenai Watershed Forum, said that her group would like to see clearly defined what will happen and what the intent of this outreach program is. Will it be just informative or will we have an equal opportunity for input? - Commissioner Shively answered that out of the stakeholder process the Governor expects to get recommendations that will go to him. The Governor has left it open as to what those recommendations could be. As the Chief Executive of the State, he will ultimately decide about those recommendations. There are no limitations as to what could be brought up. Edward Sutherby, Recent Kenai River Property Owner: Please take into consideration the proximity of the subdivisions, rather than considering just a half mile setback. He said his property is right at a half mile from the river. His main concern is that there will be gas wells in everybody's yard. •He said he comes from Michigan where this has occurred and that's why he moved from there. 1 Marilyn Heiman said there will be follow up meetings. She then asked those persons who are interested in being involved to place KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT _4_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes their name on the list that will circulate this evening. Lori Landstrom asked if permit stips apply to all surface ownerships, i.e. state lands, mental health lands, or private. Commissioner Shively explained there are three groups of lands. There are State lands where mitigation measures on the surface clearly apply, Mental Health lands who agreed to take our mitigation measures as part of the lease sale, and lastly, there is some uncertainty regarding what our authority is on private lands. However, even if we do not have authority under our mitigation measures, the Boro has the ability under their ACMP process to set mitigation measures on private lands. Dale Bondurant, Kenai River Property Owner: He said he goes back a long ways on what has been done here on the Kenai. He said he remembers when they were ready to develop the Swanson River Oil fields. The oil companies at that time said that if they had to follow all the environmental protection requirements on that area that they would not do it. So now since they have done it, they use this as an example of a good job. Dale said he thinks the oil companies have a very poor record as far as environmental protection. One of their biggest excuses is that the cost of meeting the mitigation for environmental protection cannot be afforded. When they get done with this state they will not have any vested interest in the future of this state and they will move right out and we will be left with things that have been done that will harm our renewable resources. Dale says we need to stand up and argue and fight to make sure we protect our renewable resources. Dale complained about a recent appointment by the Governor of an oil lobbyist to help with oil development issues. Commissioner Shively responded that what the Governor tries to do is to balance people in his administration. Marilyn Heiman is - proudly one of the leading environmental advocates in the state. She came straight out of the environmental community and on the other side of the issue, the Governor gets criticized for her position in the Governor's office . Therefore the Governor's office is not one sided. Brenda Stoops asked about the 90 day moratorium established by the Governor. Is the clock running? The Commissioner answered that the 90 day is not a rock solid timeframe. It takes about 6-7 months for anyone who applies to get a drilling permit and currently there have been no applications for drilling permits on any of these leases. Betty Farrally: One more comment about Cook .Inlet and the disposal of drilling waste that has been going on for a long time. They could be using deep well injection but they have decided to save KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT _5_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes money and dump the waste into the Inlet. We would like to depend on our Boro to protect us under the ACMP permits but it is best not to depend on them. She urges that we all need to start thinking differently to protect what we have. Karl Kircher, Commercial Fisherman: Will this process make changes in permitting? Commissioner Shively replied that the recommendations would be inserted into the permitting process so that the oil companies understand up front when they apply for those permits, these are things that have been agreed to. Marilyn Heiman then asked for comments from the invited groups and she went through the list. Alaska Sportfishing Association, no one present. Kenai River King Salmon Fund, no one present. Kenai Peninsula Fisherman's Association, no one present. Kenai Watershed Forum, Brenda Stoops present. UCIDA, no one present. Kenai River Guides Association, no one present. Kenai River Sportfishing, Inc., Ben Ellis (also a board member). Kenai Property Owner's Association, Walt Arthur. Trout Unlimited, Dennis Randa sent comments via fax. Friends of Cooper Landing, Jim H. Richardson. Alaska Center for the Environment or Trustees for Alaska, no one - present. Jim H. Richardson, Friends of Cooper Landing: The group expressed interest and would like to get copies of what this meeting was all about. Dale Bondurant said he was dismayed about the level of pressure the Board received from the Commissioner's office when they took a stand in opposition to LS85A. He said this board should have been the most important group that would be concerned about this. - Jim A. responded to Dale's remarks since he was in contact with the administration. The information that he received is that clearly this administration is sincere and they want to hear what this board has to say. What happened, happened. The board's job is to deal with this particular problem on these drilling sites . Jim said he is looking on the positive side and appreciates Dale's point. Marilyn added that the Commissioner already apologized to this board for not including them in the lease sale. It was an oversight that the most important group was not informed of the sale. This sale was a very difficult one for the Governor. The pressures that were brought to bear were very great. Alot of information was brought out near the end of the lease sale but it was a little late in the process to do something. The Governor thought of every option such as delay, cancelling, deleting tracts, and then he talked to as many people as he could, as did Marilyn herself, and the Commissioner. There are stipulations that can be KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes -6- made that can change how drilling is done, where it is done and what kind of protection will be provided. Those will be listened to by the Governor. Ben Ellis (as a spokesperson for KRSI) said to follow up on that, it was exactly one of their concerns. There is alot of hope from some that this will be a very productive process and alot of skepticism from others. One of the key points was the time limit - if the clock is not running toward it's 90 days, that will help. Otherwise, people were concerned if there was a date that was set in stone it would be counterproductive to the facilitation process. He is feeling very positive that is the case. However Ben said he is a little perplexed because of the number of people that signed on in opposing LS 85A that are not here. We all have a responsibility to protect this river, and it is not only pointing fingers at the administration. Ben would recommend the community forum process rather than limiting it to a group of stakeholders. Walt Arthur, Kenai River Property Owner's Association: Said one of the things he heard was that alot of people felt hoodwinked by the ads. He would suggest it be better to list it in clear text and not just legal text as township and range do not mean too much to most people. Mayor Navarre: Asked how much did budget reductions by the Legislature affect the amount of resources to do public process beyond what was bare legal. Could they have done more with adequate budget? A map that would show tracts that overlay the Kenai River, etc. in the ad would be most useful. Commissioner Shively said there were some reductions in 0&G. His recollection was that some of the display ads had maps. He said one of the things about the public process that concerned him is that there is a legal process. He said DNR did well with the legal process. However what he called the moral process, which is how you increase involvement, was an area they failed in. We need to try to find a better way to do community based meetings . DNR is looking to change how we do public process. Dan Chay asked how would you balance the pros and cons of having a process in which the agencies were involved in some sort of consensus agreement vs. a process that is essentially advisory back to the Department, where the Department makes the decision? Commissioner Shively said other agencies do comment all through the process, F&G, DEC, and we negotiate and discuss with them. If they are not happy at the staff level there is the ability to elevate that first to the Director level and then to the Commissioner level and ultimately, if we cannot resolve it there, to the Governor. There were not issues in this lease sale that were elevated. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT _7_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97. minutes Dan: suggested creating a process that would be the difference between an advisement process and a collaborative problem solving consensus process. Having a process that has teeth and people will feel some. sort of ownership in the decision. Commissioner Shively said he would like to persuade everybody that DNR intends to take this process very seriously. He said ultimately, though, the responsibility of the management of the State's resources does rest with the executive branch of the government. He said the intent is to listen to the people of good will and he will be there to help resolve this process. Brenda Stoops: Would like to see all the groups have a say in who the facilitator will be. She also asked if the names of the facilitators being considered will be shared with everyone? Marilyn Heiman: There will be a decision on the facilitator soon but names for facilitators will be accepted. There is not a list as yet but Marilyn said a good way to be informed would be to sign the list going around tonight. Steve Porter, ARCO representative: He wished to confirm some things that the Commissioner has talked about. ARCO believes the State has the authority to change the rules on these leases. If the State wants to change the setbacks or any other rules, they have the authority to do that. That is the risk ARCO takes when they buy the leases. DNR cannot cover every issue at the lease sale stage, so as we proceed ahead after the sale there is a whole other process to go through. With a specific exploration proposal you will know what the exact area is and then comment on what cannot be done, or what the mitigation would be, etc. Jim A. then told the board they have a "homework assignment". They need to get their ideas to Marilyn Heiman, or to the Commissioner - or to the Board Chair, Jim A., about what kind of process they would like to see. Brenda Stoops then read a list of recommendations from the Kenai Watershed Forum for the process. She will send this to Marilyn. B. IIpdate Discussion: Previously Authorized Seismic Work in the Kenai River Area - DNR Staff. Commissioner Shively told the board Northern Geophysical has applied for a seismic testing permit on state lands. They actually had a previous permit that was intended to include the Kenai and unfortunately they left it out. There is a public process being reviewed by the Coastal Zone Management program. There is a 30 day comment period which starts today. You may call the DGC staff person handling this permit, Molly Birnbaum, at 271-4317. The Commissioner said the closest that any seismic work will come to the river is 3/4 of a mile away. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT _8_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes Peggy said she felt a little bad about the 30 day process since we meet only once a month. Jeff Hastings is here tonight from Northern Geophysical. He said he would be glad to answer any questions at any time. His number is 344-0079. Their office is at 2361 Cinnabar Loop in Anchorage, 99507. Jim A. said there will be a board teleconference on January 30. The task at that meeting is to quiz Bruce Phelps on questions on the revision of the KRCMP. Jim suggested to Peggy that she take the lead in drafting recommendations for the board to discuss that day. Marilyn Heiman offered that DGC could be available to take the comment s from the board . Ben told the Commissioner as he was leaving the meeting that the loan of Bruce Phelps to help with the revision of the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan has been extremely beneficial. Hopefully we will be able to borrow him not only to finish the plan but help further on the plan implementation, even if on a part time basis. Ben said he wanted to pass along appreciation for a job well done and the appreciation of this board for Bruce's work. Commissioner Shively said we have some outstanding people in state government and Bruce is certainly one of them. He was specifically picked for this task because of his talent and we are pleased he was able to provide the board with the help. The Commissioner said he would keep him involved. C. Mental Health Trust Authority - Steve Plaachon. Steve introduced himself as the Executive Director of the Mental Health Trust Land office. He works for DNR and he said his office was set up to manage Alaska Mental Health Trust Lands . The trust lands are - owned by the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. The mission of the trust is to benefit mental health beneficiaries. By maximizing revenues from these lands we are doing wonderful things for the State of Alaska and the people who live here. We work for the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority by managing the land under contract. Jeff Jesse is the Executive Director of the AMHTA. Steve used a map to describe the lands that are being managed under the Trust. He said a copy of these maps would be available for the board for future reference. This is a result of a settlement that took years of litigation. The State of Alaska transferred about a million acres of land throughout Alaska to the•Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. There own subsurface and surface lands. Steve said they will be participating in the stakeholders process, as the Mental Health Trust wants to make sure they are a good neighbor. He said that as far as the Kenai River goes, they understand the KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT _9_ AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes concerns of conservation. Steve said there are about 40 leases on the Kenai River since 1977. Steve talked about a trip last summer when Parks took them in a boat to look at every single lease, to see how a trust land is being cared for. The purpose was to see if the lessees were protecting the lands. Mental Health Trust is very interested in protecting the riverbank. He said for any lease, if its' highest and best use is conservation, then it will probably not be developed. He said they are very innovative and very considerate of what they do in the watershed. Steve then fielded questions. A question was asked about how much was sold during lease sale 85A. Steve said there was 70,000 acres throughout the Cook Inlet Basin of which 7 tracts were sold. They received a half million dollars for that. That money goes directly into the Mental Health Trust. This money is used for people whose kids are threatening suicide and they need intervention, for people who need buses or transportation, and many kinds of different programs. Another question asked was what statute does Mental Health fall under. Jeff answered that it is in Alaska Statute 47.30. Steve said DNR manages under AS 38.05.01. Jeff explained that there are 4 beneficiary groups: mental illness, ' developmental disabilities, elderly with Alzheimers or related dementias, and people with chronic alcoholism. Not only does Mental Health serve these people but they are into comprehensive programs that includes things like prevention and education. D. EVOS Small Parcels Acquisition Process for the Kenai River - IIpdate and Strategy Development for prioritization. Chris presented this item on the agenda. She provided each board member with a map which shows the proposed and purchased EVOS parcels. - Chris went over the purchased parcels: a 100 acre parcel that was owned by Chester Cone in the Beaver Loop area, a 20 acre parcel owned by Dr. Kolylarz near Big Eddy, a 110 acre parcel owned by Irene Girves in the City of Soldotna, an extensive section of river frontage owned by Salamatof in the Moose Range meadows area, a 146 acre parcel called the "Kenai River Ranch", near the proposed Funny River bridge crossing, and the Kenai Native Association parcel downstream from Skilak Lake, otherwise known as the Stephanka tract. Lands that are currently under negotiations are 3 parcels owned by Leo Oberts, (Peterkin parcel, Honeymoon parcel, and the Big Eddy parcel), the Schilling property located just downstream from the Soldotna bridge, a parcel upstream from the Soldotna airport known as the Patson parcel, and a couple of other miscellaneous Salamatof parcels. There are 30 other nominations for parcels that received low rankings. There is a working group that ~~ is currently considering whether an of those y parcels should be brought back up and considered as parcels meriting special KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 minutes attention. -10- The small parcel program is one that is addressing parcels that are under 1000 acres. The purpose of the program is to identify and purchase lands from willing landowners at appraised fair market value, those lands that serve in some way to restore habitat that was lost or diminished during the oil spill or to restore values for species that were affected by the oil spill. It can also provide for restoring recreation services that were diminished or lost by the oil spill. E. Kenai River Property Owner's Association Survey Results. Walt Arthur supplied the board with a copy of the KRPOA "Survey of Kenai River Property Owners". Walt went over many of the questions in the report, and offered the survey as another tool the Board could use in considering public input for the Management Plan revision. Robin Nyce asked if the KRPOA includes people with guiding businesses, or other commercial businesses. Walt said it is mostly single family owners, plus a couple of guides. Walt will leave a copy of this report with the Kenai River Center. IV . PUBLIC CObIl~TT . No public comment . V. ADJOURNMENT A. Board Comments. Peggy: Invited all to an Open House at the new office space of the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust located in The Nature Conservancy's office at the Blazy Mall. This is on Friday night (1/17) at 5 pm. She also reminded board members if they would be interested in - helping her with Northern Geophysical's permit application review to please contact her. Gary: Offered thanks to Walt Arthur for the KRPOA survey. Pat: Also thanked KRPOA for the survey. Len: Encouraged everybody to participate Commissioner Shively's offer to participate in the working group for Lease Sale 85A. This will demonstrate to the State that people really care and want to be part of the solution. Robin: He told the board about some of the things that will be happening this year on the Refuge. They have a new budget that looks pretty good. There is funding for an additional enforcement officer; funding for 4 new toilet facilities. For Peggy's interest or anyone interested, he volunteered staff members such as Jim RENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT -11- AREA ADVISORY BOARD - 1/16/97 miautes Frates to help in understanding seismic operations. Jim A: Jim said he has had a couple of discussions with Mayor Navarre as follow up to the letter that was in the packet. Navarre is interested in meeting with .the board. Lisa Parker will coordinate the discussions to talk about the land use issues to be included in the Management Plan. All board members will be invited to participate. Ben: The City of Soldotna and KRSI will be getting together in the next few weeks to talk about Phase 3 of the fish walk. The concept is that a trail will meander away from the river and back to the river for a board walk on the next 400ft . He hopes to have the design done by February, then seek the permits, followed by bid work in March, in order to get on line with the next segment. So far the fish walk that is in place includes a 72 feet and a 250 feet section that has cost $137,000 raised from the Kenai River Classic. Ben also said that Dennis Randa has been working on a water quality study. It is still in an ongoing developmental stage and funding is not completely secured. Ben stated that Dennis plans to find a graduate student to run the project. Robin: It was great having the public presence at this meeting. Chris: 4 board members seats expired on January 2. (Pat, Jim A., Ben, and Peggy) The Governor's Boards and Commissions office has asked us to go ahead with recruitment to follow the process in our By-Laws for submitting names. Chris said she was informed that the Commissioner has requested that Pat, Jim, Peggy and Ben were all requested by the Commissioner to re-apply. Brannon: Asked if this whole board is to be part of the LS85A - group or will it be a subcommittee of this group. Jim A. said he understood that the invitation was for all members to participate. Ken: The City of Soldotna is planning bank restoration and habitat work at Centennial Campground with EVOS money. Thanked Walt Arthur for the survey. Jack: The City of Kenai is half way through the Kenai Beach Dunes Project, (north side of the mouth of the Kenai River) and hopefully by summer it will be completed. Also in the past, there have been some preliminary talks of the possibility of swapping or selling 2,000 acres of wetlands at the mouth of the Kenai River. He's interested in continuing this discussion. B. Date/Agenda of Next Meeting.
