MOTION SECONDED BY WERNER- aUADE. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. DOROTHY GRAY, 193 TRUMPETER AVENUE IN SOLDOTNA. GRAY ADVISED SHE WAS SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AS IT'S SECRETARY AND AS CHAIRPERSON OF THE TSH BOARD. Gray advised she had provided a handout noting the four major objections that she will be presenting concerning the CUP for Lot 39A in Dolchok Subdivision. The first objection has been generated from the church itself. The Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Church voted unanimously to object to the proposed conditional use permit for following reasons: Gray noted she would be referring to the map (which she had hung up) which is the actual site plan done by Taurianian for the repaving of the Mission Street project which shows all the lots and the proposed site of the proposed permit. (Gray directed Commission to map showing the location of the church, etc.) Gray stated she was showing this map to give the Commission an idea of how the decision they make will effect the area. Gray noted the proposed CUP is directly next to the chapel. Gray stated the chapel is the sacred burial site of the first priest that came to Kenai, Father Nikolai. Gray advised that Father Nikolai among his other famous contributions was the man who brought the smallpox vaccine to the Kenai Peninsula after the first smallpox epidemic wiped out half of the population. Gray stated he and his helper, Ivanoff, traveled the entire peninsula on foot to vaccinate people. This took over two years to distribute. Gray stated the chapel was built over his grave as a commemorative burial site. It is also the site of the very first Christian Church on the Kenai Peninsula. Gray stated the Holy Assumption Church voted unanimously to object to this as an improper use of the area adjacent to the chapel honoring this man. Gray stated the second objection is historical. Gray stated as chairperson of the Historical Board she drew attention to page four of handout. Gray stated she believes part of the discussion centers around the procedure in obtaining a CUP in the area. Gray stated she would like to point out that this residence in 1991 was the exact site of an establishment that raised so much concern not only in Kenai but in the entire state that Mayor Williams decided to propose a task force to study the historical area of this National Historic Landmark. Gray stated that from that task for, the ordinance that is part of the City of Kenai Zoning Code was put into law. Gray stated, the Historical Board process, due to a glitch, as the result of the filing of this application failed to include the Historic Board review in this process. Gray stated she would ask the Commission to consider that as part of the decision. Gray stated if you look at the flow chart on page 4, you will notice that application for development in TSH zone is received first by the TSH Board and then proposed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Gray stated the TSH Board was established as a review board. Gray stated it has no other function but to commit information to the P&Z Commission for Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 June 1 1, 1997 consideration of things that happen in this area. Gray stated that that part of procedure was bypassed in the application for this CUP. Gray continued, following the TSH staff/board review, then it is passed on to the P&Z Commission. Gray stated it is your decision to make a final recommendation for what happens in this area. Gray reiterated there has been no Historic Board review to date. Gray stated she has spoken to the City Manager. Gray advised she met with him personally last week and he is talking to the city attorney about the process by which this procedure was bypassed and how that happened and what can be done to rectify the situation. Gray stated she would like to mention again that this property is the property that was responsible for the creation of the entire TSH zone. Gray noted about half of the people in attendance were here in 1991 and remember the publicity that was generated from this commercial enterprise that was on this exact piece of property. And, the negative publicity that was also generated, not just in Kenai, but throughout the state where people came out to support the integrity of keeping this historic landmark and not having it's integrity challenged by commercial businesses. Gray stated that they know this is a National Historic Landmark in Kenai. Gray stated that what they may not know is that there are less than 25 landmarks in the state in south-central Alaska there are only 7. Gray stated the closest is Kodiak Island. Gray asked the Commission to take this into consideration when making the decision. Think of the economic and historic implication that this raises when making a decision about putting a commercial business next to a National Historic Landmark and possibly jeopardizing it's status as a landmark in the State of Alaska. Gray stated her third historical objection is that this particular residence has violated Section 14.20.105 b 8 of the City of Kenai Townsite Historic Zoning District in that, a quotation directly from the zoning code, "The board has the responsibility, direction by law to review all building permit applications as well as all exterior architectural alterations and demolitions within the zone." Gray stated the owners of the property in question have added on an extension to the building and perhaps through the recommendations had they gone through the review of the TSH Board might have reconsidered that. Gray stated because in doing so, they have jeopardized any chance of that building being on the National Historic Register. Gray stated it must be a building that is intact historically as it was originally. Gray noted this cabin is one of few remaining residents in Kenai that demonstrates themes of both the early community building era and the Kenai subsistence era. That was put out in the Historic District Survey Report. Gray stated the surveyors of this report further recommended that the city purchase property to house visiting artists and to keep it a historical home, a historical residence. Planning and Zoning Commission Page 4 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 Gray stated on the second page, she listed her third objection. Gray stated this directly relates to economic ties to the city. Gray stated they know from statistics of the Visitor's Center that over 50,000 tourists visit Kenai each year. Gray stated it is a documented fact by the Alaskan Tourism Council that visitors come to view authentic history. Gray stated they come to view history the way it was and as originally tended. Gray commented that in the TSH zone there is not many buildings left, many removed or torn down. When the ordinance was put into effect, it was with the understanding that it would preserve the historical integrity of what was left in that area. Gray asked that they keep this in mind when making their decision. Gray stated the National Historic Landmark in Kenai is one of the major reasons tourists come to Kenai and to view it as it might have existed 100 or 150 years ago. Gray stated her fourth and final objection is perhaps most closely tied to their job as a Commission, that is a legal objection. Gray stated they would have to ask themselves the question, first were the proper procedures followed in having the CUP brought to the Commission tonight. Gray stated she included in the handout the zoning code that specifically applies to the TSH zone outlining the flow chart in which the Board reviews and sends it's recommendations to P&Z. Gray stated she could tell them as the chairperson of that board they have not done that. Gray stated they have not been a part of that process. Gray added that she was on the task force and on the board since it's inception. Gray stated she knows the ordinance. Gray stated that she felt that as their first decision they need to decide if the proper procedures have been followed. Gray stated if they haven't, they need to go back and follow the guidelines of the law. Gray stated that this is what you, as commissioners, have vowed to do. Gray stated they have taken that under their jurisdiction, to follow the guidelines of the law. Gray advised that if they decide that the procedures were followed and you do decide to make a recommendation, the recommendation need to look at exact uses that are applied in the CUP. Gray stated they must be similar to present principle uses permitted in the zone. Gray stated that right now in that zone, if you go to the chart in the back of the zoning code, the only permitted uses in the TSH zone are one family dwellings, two family dwellings, professional offices, charitable institutions, churches, libraries, museums, parks and recreation. Gray stated the second you have to follow is that such uses must be in harmony with the intent of the zone. Gray stated she contends that the TSH Board has not been a part of this process to give such recommendations. Gray stated that thirdly the benefits to the city in terms of economic develop must outweigh any adverse effects on adjoining properties. Gray stated that as she understands the CUP, those are the three items that much receive attention tonight if they choose to proceed. Gray stated her second objection under the legal part is the parking issue. Gray stated that on the sketch that was presented with the application, Gray stated she would Planning and Zoning Commission Page 5 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 suggest two things. One, this does not show the property lines. Gray stated if you check the map, Dolchok residence begins and continues past here and the chapel. (Note, Gray was pointing to map on wall.) Gray stated this section of the land, until this year, was all private church property. Gray stated there was actually no driveway to this residence other-.than the little stretch of land where the orange particle is. Gray continued, with new road configuration, all of this in front of the residence, with the exception of one tiny space in which they are allowed to access their house, is all designated for parking spaces for the chapel. Gray stated that on the sketch presented as part of the permit, does not show the property lines. Gray stated she put orange spot that might fall into the required space allotment for parking spaces. Gray stated this would be right in front of the residence. Gray stated the problem that will exist is there is a six inch gutter and curb that will be here, in the blue area. The proposed parking area for this business would be in direct conflict for the proposed parking area by the city. Gray stated that the church has entered into legal agreement with the city for chapel parking only. Gray stated that in order for the business to park here, in the orange space, they would have to block anyone parking for the chapel. They would have to drive over a curb to get into these parking places to park for the business. Gray stated she felt this an important concern to deal with tonight in terms of following the requirements for the required parking spaces. Gray stated her last legal objection has to do with the adjacent property owners. Gray again drew attention to the map. Gray stated the Russian Church owns approximately 15 acres surrounding the area, with the exception of these two pieces. Gray stated she knows that in the code it does not speak to the fact that property owners have any right in saying what can be used in a conditional use permit in the city of Kenai. Gray stated in some cities property owners do have that right and if 50 percent or more object to it, the permit is turned down. Gray stated that is not the way it is in Kenai. Gray stated that regardless, she would like to point out that in this red area, the Church, Fort Kenay, the cemetery property, and the Wilson residence, Gray stated she would say they have told her in person as well as the owner of day care center, that they object. They could not be here tonight to formally object. Gray stated that all the red area, is part of the church property and as a result of a church council vote has objected to this property being used as a commercial business. Gray stated that in closing, she would suggest three recommendations. One, Gray stated she believes it important, the most crucial factor to decide if the proper procedure been followed. Has the TSH Board been allowed to present a review. If not, Gray stated she thinks they need to step back and follow the correct procedure and allow that. Gray stated that is why the TSH zone was adopted by law into the City of Kenai Zoning Code. Gray stated that secondly, if they chose not to do that, Gray stated she believes they need surveyors site plan showing property lines and the required parking spaces with exits that will not come into conflict with the parking on the Mission Street Improvement Project. Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 ~ Gray stated the last recommendation is that she believes there are landscaping requirements as required by the city as required by the code 14.25 in regards to commercial enterprises. Gray stated she did not see on the conditional use application. Gray stated she feels the decision they make tonight is extremely- important. Gray stated that for those who were here in 1991 and remember the critical nature of what happened on this specific piece of property, take into the consideration the effect of your decision on the status of the national historic landmark and it's effect on the economic conditions of the City of Kenai. MARY ANN ALFANO-Alfano stated she is the owner of the coffee house in question. Alfano stated that the issue that was brought up three or four times by Dorothy as far as what happened in 1991, noted she had read the newspaper articles about that, stated she has no intent to open a place such as Steve Paloza did before, such as bringing in animals and things. Alfano stated she has something in mind that would be totally in harmony with the area. Alfano advised she has lived in the house for three years noting she rents it from Michael Carpenter. Alfano stated that Carpenter has talked to her about opening a coffee house there since she moved in. Alfano stated she came up to write and has spent three years in the house writing. Alfano stated she kept thinking the area is so wasted. Alfano stated there are tourist who come in and look at the chapel and walk away. There is no place for them to sit down. Alfano stated her intent was to open a nice place with serious gallery showings and serve coffee, pastries and that was it. Alfano stated she was willing to work with the church as far as even closing on Sunday and not having loud music. Alfano stated her neighbor at the time, Becky Trombley, had said she had no qualms about Alfano opening the shop even until recently, like the other day. Alfano continued stated, she called when she got the registered letter saying she hoped they were not giving her a problem about this because she (Trombley) didn't have any objections. Alfano added that she didn't expect that from Trombley. Alfano stated that as far as going through the proper historical protocol, which I apparently wasn't aware. Alfano stated she is new to the community noting that on August 18t'' she will have lived here for three years. Alfano stated she wasn't aware of the protocol. Alfano advised that as far as the architectural changes, what was changed is impermanent, something that can be moved in a day. Alfano stated it is not any structural changes so far. Alfano commented that she felt it too bad that her landlord, Michael Carpenter, wasn't present noting he doesn't want to be a part of the historical association. Alfano stated he had told her felt very strongly that he doesn't want to be apart of it if he cannot operate a business out of that house. Alfano stated he was very adamant but added that she wouldn't speak for him but would wait until he comes into town. Planning and Zoning Commission Page 7 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 Alfano stated she wanted to clarify that she had no intention of having a horrible mob or loud music. Alfano stated he was thinking maybe of having a folk guitar player, thinking in terms of the locals and having a nice gathering place. A place that would add to the community. Alfano noted that if you go to a place like Jacksonhole, Wyoming with 5000 residents and 10 coffee houses and they seem to do pretty well. Alfano stated that the historical structures serve that kind of thing well. Alfano commented she felt they were lacking in Kenai because there isn't a coffee house, poetry readings, and that kind of thing. Alfano stated that was her intent. Alfano stated that as far as not following protocol stated she didn't now the ropes. Alfano stated this is a rush thing. Alfano stated she has been trying to do this in the last three months but to do it well as serving a good product and have it top notch. JIM ARNESS, Box 1061, Kenai--Arness stated he owns a parcel of property close to this property. Arness stated he thinks there are two basic problems that need to be addressed. One, as best I understand, is that Ms. Alfano has been lead to believe that her Conditional Use Permit would allow her to proceed with her enterprise. That there was no need for a building permit, no need to go through the Historical Commission and therefore she has proceeded in good faith. Arness asked what you do about that, assuming that is true adding he believes it is. Arness stated he knows from experience there is frustration within the business community when you start through a process and then the rules seem to change or there is objection made to what you do. Arness stated his second concern, which is broader and one that will not be dealt with on this specific issue. Arness stated it would be his recommendation that Ordinance 14.20, whatever the rest of it is, that relates to the TSH Board section of the community be eliminated from the code. Arness stated he was involved when it was enacted adding it hasn't been followed in a single issue since it was enacted. Arness offered two specific examples, one a building that Mr. Vozar built. Arness stated that apparently the building permit was issued prior to the ordinance but what he built was not what he requested in his permit. He built a building about 50 percent larger. Arness stated that as best he knows nothing happened. Arness continued, the other one that bothers me more than anything is a project that believe is just started and not yet completed. Arness states that it involves Kenai Avenue at the mouth of the river where this last winter the City of Kenai brought in a group of cement piling and lined the road with piling to block traffic going to the sand dunes for whatever their purpose. Arness stated he understands there is intent to add to that project to expand public parking at the mouth of the river. Arness stated the point is that the concept of 14.20 has been circumvented. In this case, the city council took it upon itself to do whatever it felt like doing without going through it's own process or following it's own procedures. Arness stated he is sure that the reaction coming back from the council is that we don't have to go through these procedures because if these groups advise they don't want this done, the council can overrule it anyway. Arness stated his point is that this ordinance is something that was created to look good. It is on the books so the City of Kenai can say we have this area and we are doing these wonderful things. But it is meaningless and not followed. Arness stated the concept of the conditional Planning and Zoning Commission Page 8 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 use permit circumvents the ordinance. Or at least the interpretation of the conditional use permit circumvents the ordinance. The ordinance again is bypassed. Arness stated that personally he doesn't care whether Miss Alfano operates her coffee shop. Arness noted he is not adjacent showing a small strip of property that separates the two pieces. Arness stated that is free enterprise however added he objects to the arbitrary way that the rules are administered. Arness stated he doesn't like the approach where someone tries to do something in good faith and where somewhere along the process they get blind sighted. Arness asked where do we go from here. Arness stated he is not saying that ignorance is acceptable and justifiable to allow anything to occur. Arness stated that is not his point. Arness stated he believes that what has been done has been done to this point with the approval of the administration. So, that leaves you with a dilemma. If you backtrack and say you can't do it, is there a problem here. The lack of the permitting process. As an example, Arness stated, the rectory at the church is going to be renovated within the next 12 months. Arness stated that nothing will be changed except put a foundation under it and renovate the building. Arness commented it is a significant project noting it is the oldest building on the Kenai Peninsula. Arness stated that if it works and the building doesn't fall apart when moved, so that the foundation can be built and then be put back on the building, it will last for another 100 years. Arness stated in this particular situation when the building inspector was approached at the city his response was is you can do that but you have to buy a building permit. Okay, it's 51000. Arness asked why that has to happen l when the additions and alterations to Dolchok property don't require that same permitting. Arness stated the difference is one is a conditional use and the other a permit, I guess. Arness stated his point is to let her do what she wants adding he doesn't care. Arness stated he thinks the city needs to do some housekeeping. Arness stated his recommendation is, adding he spent considerable time writing the ordinance, is that it be eliminated. Arness stated it has never been followed adding he doesn't think it ever will be. It is a facade, something there to make things look good but it is meaningless. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. Mahurin advised she has a lot of things to say. Mahurin stated that first she doesn't think she would ever agree to take TSH requirements out of the code. Mahurin stated she believes in it and believes that the process has been circumvented. Mahurin stated she is proud that since she has been on P&Z that everything dealing with TSH has been through TSH first. Mahurin stated the question about dunes noted there was a major work session between all of the city's commission and city council. Mahurin stated she was involved in that part of it. Mahurin noted that this is a different issue but wanted to say there was an opportunity for meetings. Mahurin stated she would make a motion to sent this back to TSH for their review because she does believe in it. Mahurin stated she supports concept of the coffee house adding her feelings go way ~ back when it was a coffee house. Mahurin stated he had had a conversation with the Priest at that time and regarding his oppositions, he had not been there, he had not checked it out. Mahurin stated she spent time there and her daughter and friends spent time there. Mahurin stated she felt it was a perfect use for that area. Mahurin Planning and Zoning Commission Page 9 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 stated that tourists walk there and they do need a quiet, reflective place. Mahurin stated it was used by the locals in the evening for gatherings and was a good positive thing for our youth. Mahurin stated that unless there are significant other problems, she would support this when it comes back to Planning and Zoning. Mahurin stated that at this point it is privately owned but if the city owned.. it and they could do something different, that is a different issue. Mahurin stated she thinks it is in harmony with the area. Mahurin stated she feels badly that the church opposes it and think they should work in concert adding she would hate to see a fight over parking. Mahurin stated that maybe when it comes back for review, they can have input from the City of Kenai that can be taken into consideration. Mahurin stated that when the Commission is through with the discussion she would like to make a motion to postpone action until it goes through the TSH Board. Glick asked if that was a motion. Mahurin stated she would prefer to wait until after the discussion. Glick for the record he needed to mention the letter received tonight from the owner of the building, Michael Carpenter, who is in support of the coffee shop. Christian asked staff what the issues are regarding parking and the property line and asked if they were presented accurately. La Shot stated the sketch submitted is not clear enough to determine whether there is an area available on site for parking. La Shot stated it would be the city's recommendation that parking be provided. La Shot stated the issue about procedures being circumvented, it is the opinion of the administration including the city attorney that procedures were followed and that conditional uses don't need to be reviewed by the TSH Board. Christian asked about the issue of sewer and water and if it was a problem. La Shot stated the upcoming Mission Street project intends to extend city water to that area and that would be available to that residence. Christian clarified that currently they have their own well. La Shot stated there was an alteration made that was looked at by the building official which did not require a building permit. La Shot stated he believed it was a clear wind screen that did not require a building permit. Bryson asked if there were any restrictive aspects of the parking that is being provided for the public or church use for visiting the church. La Shot stated he believe there is parking being provided in the Mission Street project in that area adding he doesn't know if it will be possible to control if people are using the parking area to go to this business. La Shot stated that parking is provided for anyone who needs to use the area. Administration would recommend available off street parking on private property. Bryson asked if the ear that sticks out on Mission Street will become public property. La Shot stated he believes it will be or has been dedicated. MAHURIN MOVED TO POSTPONE ACTION UNTIL IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE TSH REVIEW PROCESS AND COMES BACK TO US AND THAT THE QUESTION OF Planning and Zoning Commission Page 10 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 \) PARKING BE ADDRESSED AND THAT LANDSCAPING ALSO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT. CHRISTIAN SECONDED THE MOTION. La Shot commented that landscaping cannot be required unless a building permit is required. Mahurin stated that as a strong advocate and outspoken advocate for many years of the TSH stated if she can't require it legally, she would state it would receive a more favorable response if there was some sort of a plan for landscaping. Mahurin commented that the area has been diminished so greatly that she thinks it very important that they follow through and not let some of the things happen there that have happened in other parts of the city. Mahurin stated she would be very interested in seeing something like that. MAHURIN STATED IF HER MOTION IS NOT LEGAL, SHE WILL WITHDRAW, WITH PERMISSION OF THE BODY, THE REQUIREMENT OF LANDSCAPING AND LEAVE COMMENTS IN MINUTES WITH REGARD TO LANDSCAPING. GLICK ASKED IF ANY OBJECTIONS. NONE NOTED. GLICK REMOVED LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT FROM MOTION. Nord stated she doesn't see where in the TSH section of the code where it says that a conditional use permit has to be reviewed by TSH Board. Nord stated it is not in the code unless I am not reading it properly. Nord noted she will vote no on this motion. Werner-Quade noted she is having trouble interpreting this too adding the only thing she sees is the board will review all building permit applications as well as all exterior alterations and demolition's. Werner-Quade asked what the Historic Board going to review? Whether it is appropriate to have the house serving as a coffee shop to tourist or not and if that is the case, stated she agrees with Ms. Nord that that is not part of what they are supposed to be doing. Mahurin noted that as someone who was here before P&Z and the reason she is on the board now is what the City of Kenai did to Townsite Historic. Mahurin stated that Mr. Arness was right in that there was a task force formed after the original proposed usage of the property. Mahurin commented that task force was made up of good, hard working citizens who spent a long time and effort and as a result came the TSH ordinance and the review board. Mahurin noted she had been a member of that board. Mahurin stated she thinks good faith and intent has to be maintained and that being that the City of Kenai recognizes when the decimated the TSH zone to a tiny portion that TSH review would have some ownership and input into what happens in that part of the town. Mahurin noted they have heard from a church contingency tonight and have not heard from a city recognized commission or board adding the people who ~ have been working on that are involved with the historical and everything else that is going on there. Mahurin stated she thinks it only fair and it would be a travesty if they totally disregard the TSH board. Mahurin added that down the road she would make a recommendation adding she did not realize that conditional use permits come through Planning and Zoning Commission Page 1 1 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 } there. Mahurin noted that when they talked about the Land Use Table they discussed those types of things adding that somehow she had missed that it has to come before them. Mahurin agreed with Mr. Arness stating if they are not going to do it, take it out of the ordinance. Mahurin stated she doesn't want to see that happen adding that what will happen is what happened in the first place adding that a nice old historic area has been reduced to about a penny size piece of history. Werner-Quade stated she had been looking in her packet for something from TSH and thinking surely they must have seen this. Werner-Quade continued stating she went further to assume that since she didn't see anything she assumed it must be okay with them. Werner-Quade noted that this is far from what it actually is. Werner-Quade commented it is hard to come in when you come in with one thing in your mind and you have to change that. Christian commented that he thinks that the idea of the TSH district was an excellent step forward and thinks the city needs to preserve what is most valuable as a tourist attraction. Christian noted this is a new ordinance and they need to make the right steps. Christian added that if errors have been made, they need to make steps in the proper direction to preserve this. Christian commented that they tried to do something in 1967 when they built Fort Kenay and it fell flat because of no support. Christian .stated he would hate to see the city not give the board support. Christian stated he would very strongly recommend it goes back to TSH Board if nothing more as a precedent to give them as much power as possible. Christian added that he would agree with Ms. Mahurin as a good use for the property but they should go through the TSH board first.

PZ97-25-Variance Permit-Principle Structures-Lot 1, Block H, Woodland Subdivision, Part 1, 104 Beech Avenue, Kenai, Alaska MAHURIN MOVED TO APPROVE PZ97-25. MOTION SECONDED BY CHRISTIAN. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: TONA BRAVO-Applicant. Bravo stated she had written a letter to the Commission ~ stating her reason for the request, that is that her dad is ill. Bravo stated that due to the way her home is she feels they cannot add on because of her garage. Bravo stated her father wants his own little place and will be like amother-in-law's cottage. Bravo stated it will be used only for that and not as a rental. Bravo stated he is living outside Planning and Zoning Commission Page 12 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 and is ill and her only family. Bravo stated her home is well kept and wouldn't be anything junky. Bravo stated she has a builder, Mr. Grizzell, who has given a price on building the small cottage which would just be used for her family. Christian asked if .the intent was to connect to your home system.. Bravo stated it will have it's own water and electricity. Christian asked the size of the dwelling. Bravo stated 16' X 24'. Christian confirmed it will not be connected in any way to the residence. Bravo noted that it was her father's choice so he could pay his own way. adding they have a large lot and that they meet the requirements for the variance. Bryson asked if there was a restriction that no rental, lease, or sublease of the cottage separate from the principle structure would create a problem. Bravo stated no adding that the intent was for her dad to use the residence and if that restriction needs to be included that would be fine. Bravo stated that s long as they own the home it would be for family purposes. Christian asked if you have the structure and somewhere down the line the principle use could not be used, what would you use it for then. Bravo stated that she would probably use it as a studio or noted that her mother is 20 years younger and may need a place then. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: Glick asked La Shot for additional staff comments. La Shot advised that if the owners wished to attach the structure it would not require a conditional use permit, it is her choice to separate it. Christian asked for clarification. La Shot repeated that if they attached the addition to their house it would not require a variance. Christian expressed concern about what happens down the road supposing that the Bravo's sale their property, and someone buys the property asked if they can stipulate that the new owner not rent the structure. Christian commented that it seems it would be putting a great deal of pressure of someone down the road. Bryson reiterated that they could connect it to their current residence and it would be legal. Christian asked if they could rent it and answered himself that it would because it would be considered a duplex. Christian stated this concerns him because somewhere down the line they could connect the building and make it a duplex and rent it. Ms. Bravo commented that it may be a great asset because many families have parents living with them and it may be something someone is purposely looking. Bravo noted that parents don't want to infringe on their children's privacy. Christian stated he agreed but is wondering if someone down the road doesn't want to do that can they extend the requirement that it not be rented whether connected or not. Christian ~ stated he didn't think the requirement is very long lasting. Glick stated they could connect it now, call it a duplex, rent it out, and it wouldn't even be before the commission. Planning and Zoning Commission Page 13 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 BRYSON AMENDED THE MOTION TO STIPULATE THAT NO RENTAL, LEASE, OR SUBLEASE SEPARATE FROM THE PRINCIPLE STRUCTURE BE ALLOWED.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. PUBLICHEARING CLOSED. La Shot noted no additional staff comments. Christian noted that in lieu of the vote by council at the last council meeting regarding the kennel ordinance if they should review the animal boarding section. Christian stated they would need to change the N's to C's. Bryson noted not in the TSH zone. Glick stated that would involve the N's in the RS2 and RU zones being changed to C's. MAHURIN MOVED THAT UNDER THE ZONING DISTRICT, MISCELLANEOUS ANIMAL BOARDING IN THE RS2 AND RU THAT THEY CHANGE THE NOT PERMITTED TO A C FOR CONDITIONAL USE. MOTION SECONDED BY NORD.

NEW BUSINESS: a. PZ97-26-Home Occupation Permit-Art Instructor-Barbara Hultberg, Lot 28, Block 3, Redoubt Terrace Subdivision, 1618 Fathom Drive, Kenai, Alaska MAHURIN MOVED TO APPROVE PZ97-26. MOTION SECONDED BY WERNER- QUADE. La Shot noted no additional staff comments. Bryson asked if there was any concern with parking. Bryson stated he feels that any parking that is required for people attending the session should be off street and that she should have sufficient room in her driveway to do that. Bryson asked if she stated how many people would be in attending at any one time. La Shot stated he didn't believe any numbers were mentioned and it may be appropriate to think about that. Bryson commented that as narrow as the streets are, if one side gets plugged it becomes a hazard. La Shot noted permit application just states teaching to a small number of people. Christian asked if this is one-on-one or to groups of people. Mahurin advised that tole painting is painting that is folksy, antique looking and done on wood or metal. Mahurin noted it is different than having a big easel. She could definitely demonstrate to a group adding she took a class that had about a dozen participants. Mahurin stated she understands the parking question and wondering how many vehicles they can adequately handle. Glick suggested amending permit to limit the number of vehicles. Werner-Quade stated she had thought three. Mahurin stated she would rather say that all parking for class have to be off street adding she would hate to limit the number of people. Glick stated he thought home occupations by nature are limited to two people. Glick asked if he was reading something into this. Glick noted the traffic generated by a dozen people is greater than a home occupation would allow. Mahurin noted they are thinking about one day a week, a sporadic activity. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 15 June 1 1, 1997 1 BRYSON AMENDED MOTION TO REQUIRE THAT PARKING BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE SUBJECT LOT. CHRISTIAN SECONDED THE MOTION.

PZ97-23-Landscape Site Plan Review-Economic Development Center, Mile 14.5 Kenai Spur Highway (Tract C, Radar Subdivision, Replat No. 1)-Postponed from May 28, 1997 meeting. NORD MOVED TO APPROVE PZ97-23. MOTION SECONDED BY CHRISTIAN. La Shot noted nothing additional. Mahurin noted they have provided a landscaping plan adding she doesn't like it. Mahurin commented two planters and red gravel seems a shame when talking about the Economical Development Center. Mahurin noted she knows it is off the road and that she has been out there. Mahurin commented that every time she drives by a building in her area and sees the minimal landscaping like this that she gets angry. Mahurin noted that she realized that they probably have no choice but to approve but that this doesn't say much for Economic Development that they are putting such a minor emphasis on landscaping. Christian stated he would like to support that idea adding that we need to provide some beautification for our buildings. Christian stated he would like to see owners take some pride in what they are building and make it appealing to the eye. Christian commented that there are some ugly spots along that road and they could make this one better. Christian stated he is disappointed with the plan. ~ Glick stated he is not sure that they have to approve. Mahurin advised she thought if it met minimums, they had to approve it and would be interested to receive advice on the issue. Bryson noted a five percent requirement. Nord suggested in the future they might consider looking at the five percent area as far as beautification. Nord noted that Planning and Zoning Commission Page 16 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 '} a bunch of gravel and a couple of trees isn't her idea of beautifying the city. Nord stated this may be something in the future to look at. Five percent minimal amount and if it could be done where it wasn't stretched over a 3 foot area 100 foot long, it might make a little sense. Nord added she sees nothing wrong with plan meeting the black and white of the ordinance so will vote to approve. Mahurin asked if it might be appropriate when getting something like this with the help of staff develop a boiler plate letter that goes out when they apply stating the intent of ordinance but it is one of things that P&Z, particularly on developments, will be looking at. Mahurin stated she didn't know if they wanted to do something like this but to somehow give notice to developers that this is a priority and will be looking at. Mahurin asked if they can do something like this. Werner-Quade added she doesn't know if they can do it but would support it. Werner- Quade commented there is always an element of confusion with the plans. Werner- Quade commented that she felt that the developers are told just to do these as a matter of course and they will be approved. Werner-Quade commented the plans are oftentimes not fine or will show landscaping and afterwards there is no landscaping done. Then, there is no way to enforce. Werner-Quade agreed with the idea of tightening up this procedure because it is more often than not that they are not right. Christian asked if we were to take one of these plans and use as precedent setting and not approve because we don't agree with their plan, what the next step would be? Christian stated he is assuming it would be appealed to council and they would lose any impact. Christian stated he doesn't see anything other than putting words into the minutes where they can go with it. Smalley stated that if something meets the code and if it turned down here, council would approve if it met the criteria. Smalley added that if the body wants to alter criteria, then that is what it needs to do. VOTE: NORD YES MAHURIN YES CHRISTIAN YES BRYSON YES WERNER-QUADE YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED-UNANIMOUS. 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: 10. REPORTS: a. City Council Planning and Zoning Commission Page 17 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 Smalley noted the agenda in the packet. Smalley advised that Kathy Scott and Colleen Ward gave an overview of the economic forum and everyone was very pleased with the forum. Jerry Stock, a builder, spoke before council over difficulties with properties he had bought in Pinewood Subdivision. When purchased, he was led to believe water and sewer stubbed on the properties. Smalley stated there were lots of complications, the owner had passed away in the early 70's. When the project went through to pave, in 88 or 89, property owners were notified to see if they wanted stub outs. The executor was contacted to notify if they wanted stub outs. Some of the lots had water, some sewer and some both. There is water and sewer at street. Council didn't believe a city problem, instead between purchaser and seller. An ordinance approved adopting the budget. Smalley noted this was a substitute ordinance lowering it about 5178, 000 because of PERS being lowered. This was a difference of about 5370,000 dip into the general fund to balance the budget. The kennel ordinance failed. Cabin rentals passed. Council postponed Item 5 by request of the Airport Manager and City Manager. Smalley noted everything else passed with the exception of Item 12 which was sent back for rewrite to take out word maintenance. Smalley noted the city doesn't want someone way down the road to interpret that the city will maintain bike paths. Under New Business, council will on July 16th be setting up a time frame to work on goals and objectives. There was discussion over damage of trees and shrubs due to equipment or because not surviving winters in Leif Hansen Park. Those destroyed by equipment the city will replace. Smalley advised that council does sincerely appreciate the effort put forth on the land use table and the footnotes. Smalley stated he had a couple of questions. The first one, the motion to postpone the coffee house project and send to TSH, Smalley stated he assumes was as a matter of courtesy because not required by the code because no building permit required. Smalley noted conditional uses aren't sent to them. Smalley stated he could potentially see a legal problem requiring something of an individual above and beyond the code that has not been required of other projects in TSH, adding he didn't have one specific to say. Smalley added he couldn't think of one they have required above and beyond the code. Smalley reiterated it was just a question, first assuming it was a matter of courtesy. Mahurin responded it is more than courtesy, a matter of integrity and to honor the integrity of the TSH board and to honor the intent of the ordinance. Mahurin stated she will propose under board comments that they come up with ordinance changes that ~ will require hops and cups come before TSH board. Mahurin stated she felt it more than a courtesy but an intent that she thought inherent in the process when the rezoning happened. Mahurin added she sees that it missed it but thinks it is to uphold the integrity of the TSH board. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 18 June 1 1, 1997 `) Smalley responded that he didn't think it was ever intended that CUP's would go before them. The reduction of the size of the zone has nothing to do with it. Mahurin stated her understanding during all of the meetings and as a member of the TSH board was that they would review all development in the area. Smalley responded that what passed and came out of ordinance was that all development requiring a building permit would be reviewed. Werner-Quade asked if they could go off the record, if that was acceptable adding that she has comments and questions. Bryson stated it was his intent that it be sent there as a courtesy situation and that he would like their opinion as a historical group. Bryson noted that he recognizes it is a very sensitive situation and sensitive area. Smalley commented that he didn't think they would delay project because of not having water on site. La Shot noted he thought their plan was to haul water. Glick stated his vote was a courtesy knowing what the code says. Werner-Quade concurred. Werner-Quade stated she didn't agree with Gray's points other than the legal which stopped her. Werner-Quade stated Gray was saying one thing and administration was saying another thing, and noting she is not an attorney, so it stopped her in her tracks. Werner-Quade noted she felt it was a courtesy to TSH. Mahurin stated she felt that they needed to hear from a city sanctioned group as opposed from only the religious community being cognizant of the politics of the area. Werner-Quade stated that right before the meeting she went there and there was an electrician there to up the amps for espresso machines. Werner-Quade stated she was given a tour and it was a treat stating her first thought is that this is perfect. Mahurin concurred. Werner-Quade noted then to hear Ms. Gray was hard to hear and commented that she felt that if Gray was going to present the packet of materials she should have had it in the packet following the application. b. Borough Planning Bryson stated with reference to the proposed plat agenda, they reviewed 7 plats. All were recommended for approval. At the regular meeting, the agenda was accepted as presented. Under public hearings, there was a petition to vacate a public easement that provides access to Kenai Lake from Snug Harbor road side. That item, after public comment, any decision postponed until hearing from the Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Commission. The second public hearing was approved. Item 3 included 50 or ~ so street name modifications. Only ten of the names had comments from the public attached. Bryson noted there were a number of modifications made as a result of public input. Bryson explained again that those will all be coming to the borough once all areas covered for a massive resolution that will cover 100's of streets to formalize Planning and Zoning Commission Page 19 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 ~) name changes. Item L1 was an appeal of a planning director's decision. The director determining that subject parcel didn't qualify for an existing use as regard to development of a borrow pit. That decision was overturned by the commission. c. Administration La Shot advised there was a Kenai River Special Management Board meeting on June 5th which was continued to June 17th. The primary reason for the meeting was to adopt the draft management plan. La Shot stated the board heard strong comments and input regarding the lower four miles of river, that it not be included in the boundary. La Shot noted if anyone wished to make comments they could do so at the meeting on the 17th. La Shot reminded the Commission of the Airport Commission meeting concerning review of the master plan draft. La Shot advised that tomorrow the site work will bid for fire Training Center. La Shot advised that at some point this will come up for a landscape review prior to issuance of the building permit. The animal control shelter is out to bid and that eventually will make it's way to the P&Z Commission. At the next meeting staff plans to bring a CUP for consideration. La Shot noted staff had waited because the things being revised in the land use table would have negated that need. La Shot noted it might be the appropriate time to review the landscape site plan. Smalley stated that concerning the discussion of Mr. Arness on the Dunes Project, if city needs to get a copy of that project, adding he is aware there was a public hearing process, if code requires that such development go before the TSH board for review purposes, it may be appropriate to get the TSH members copies of the report. Smalley noted that there was confusion that they were creating parking space there. Smalley stated the parking is elsewhere. Smalley stated he didn't think the project required their review. La Shot stated there is a possible future project involved that would be adjacent or expanded which will enlarge the turnaround at the end. Smalley asked if it was possible to get them a copy of what the city is doing down there. La Shot stated yes. Kebschull stated it was her understanding that it was not in the zone. Smalley stated he had initially thought it was just outside of the zone but was informed by Ms. Mahurin it is definitely in the zone. Kebschull stated she was told it was outside. Mahurin stated she was under the impression it was all in the TSH zone. La Shot noted in the back of the Comprehensive Plan is a zoning map. La Shot noted it is in the zone. Smalley stated he would then think it appropriate to share with them what is going on and the plan. Kebschull questioned if it doesn't require any kind of permit or review by P&Z, why would TSH review it if they are advisory to P&Z? Smalley stated a matter of courtesy. Kebschull noted they are provided with information on any public hearings. Smalley stated he is aware of that and would prefer they be informed as much as possible to eliminate confusion. Kebschull noted staff tries to do that. La Shot commented that the Commission was provided copies of the revised Comprehensive Plan. In the new budget starting July 15t, the city has appropriated 530,000 that will be matched by borough funds to begin the process of preparing a Planning and Zoning Commission Page 20 Minutes June 1 1, 1997 ~) new comprehensive plan. La Shot noted the Commission will be heavily involved in that process. La Shot stated that Kebschull will be coordinating the project. Kebschull noted that the zoning map in the new plan is already outdated because of the two recent rezones. Glick asked where the funds are coming from to build the new animal control shelter. Smalley explained that FAA approved the use of airport funds for the project because it meets the criteria and it will be leased by the city at the lease rate. Smalley commented that this council is looking at the airport fund as the fund to build all future projects but thought this might meet the criteria since it has been on airport lands. Glick commented that technically the airport part of the city will own the shelter. Kebschull commented on the discussion regarding the coffee house adding for the record that Dorothy Gray had been aware that something had been going on there for some time. She brought that to staff attention and that is why the building official checked it out. Kebschull noted the building official had advised staff that a building permit was not required and asked that the city attorney clarify whether or not it was required that any alteration be reviewed by the TSH board. Kebschull advised that the city attorney advised that it was not required by code. Kebschull added that she had discussed with the attorney how the TSH board could be involved in the process based on the fact that their meetings are monthly and P&Z meets every two weeks. It was decided that if they met before the P&Z meeting and a CUP had been requested that it would be placed on their agenda for comment. If the time wasn't right, I would include them as a part of the certified mailing. Kebschull noted the TSH board was involved in the fact that they were noticed by certified mail of the CUP like every other property owner in that district. Kebschull noted that staff has a concern because the TSH board has problems with quorums and if they don't have a quorum for example at their meeting on the 16t'', what does that mean to the coffee house application. Then, TSH wouldn't meet for another month. Kebschull advised she is not sure what will happen at that time. Kebschull advised that staff had followed all guidelines to include them in the process. Kebschull noted she didn't know what more staff could have done. La Shot commented in conversations with the city manager there has been discussions on the problems with quorums and the administrative burden that TSH poses for the city. La Shot stated he felt the city manager will be pursuing some method possibly that would include an abolishment of the board. La Shot stated P&Z would possible take on the duties of the TSH board with possibly an expert group available for consultation or input. La Shot stated this is just for the Commission's information. 1 1. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: 12. INFORMATION ITEMS: a. City of Kenai Ordinance No. 1743-97 b.

COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: Mahurin advised when she was onTSH having quorums was a problem adding she did realize they were advisory to P&Z which is why she applied to P&Z because she felt there was not much of an advocate for TSH on P&Z and city council. Mahurin stated that it became apparent tonight to her that they need to be included in almost everything that goes on over there. Mahurin stated she is not sure in light of the quorum how that can be done. Mahurin stated she would hate to see P&Z take on all of their duties because they do a lot with archeological research and the historic preservation, etc. adding she didn't think P&Z had the expertise or the focus. Mahurin stated she didn't have an answer adding she is not sure what to do. Mahurin reiterated she would hate to abolish the board adding she realizes this is only a discussion item. Mahurin commented that area has a significant part of history and culture that needs to be maintained adding she would like to see the zone extended back to Kenai Joes. Mahurin stated she has concerns as to how it can be incorporated and suggested perhaps a brainstorming session in the middle of winter when time reiterating that it concerns her. Mahurin drew attention to a letter to editor in the paper from Mary Person who lives in Redoubt subdivision about the proposed path for wheelchairs in a park on Forest Drive. Mahurin stated she had some really good points such as instead of clearing trees, weaving something through. Mahurin stated she just wanted to draw attention to the letter and if they had not read it they might want to. Mahurin stated that on a personal level she has a neighbor who is chopping down all of the trees on the corner of Fourth and Aspen who assures her that the City of Kenai gave her permission to take down all of the trees in the right of way. La Shot stated he wasn't aware of this and would have to ask if someone gave her permission. Mahurin wished all the fathers a Happy Father's Day. Nord commenting on the landscape reviews stated she thinks the Commission should look at requesting an ordinance change and submit it to the council. Nord noted that it is building season now and perhaps it could be looked at in the fall. Nord commented how many hours the city and volunteers spend making their property look beautiful. Nord noted that volunteer hours are astronomical with the Beautification Committee then having commercial enterprises making it look shoddy with paved parking lots is a ' shame. Nord stated she would like to see the aspect of "Beautifying our Highways and Byways." Nord stated that Sharon Williams talked to her regarding the sign on the corner in front of the Chamber for Overland Park. Williams stated she felt it was too close to the Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 22 June 1 1, 1997 existing street. Nord stated she wasn't sure if it has been looked at before. La Shot asked what the sign said and Nord stated, "Overland 59.95 a Night". Glick noted P&Z wouldn't review unless it was oversize. La Shot stated he would check on it. Christian supported Nord's comments on a better ordinance for a landscaping. Christian commented that he doesn't have much hope noting that the last couple times he has been involved in trying to approve the city, they didn't get too far. Christian noted they had put time and thought into the kennel ordinance and wished council had explained their reasons for denying the ordinance. 14.

They recommended that the permit be approved if sufficient parking to meet the code is available for current and future use requirements. In addition they recommended a written proposal be prepared stating that the coffee house would honor the hours that the church is in session, from 6 p.m. on Saturday night to noon on Sundays, and that the coffee house not operate during these hours. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Dorothy Gray submitted a memo to City Attorney Graves and asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission be provided. a copy of her memo. That memo is attached to this information. In addition, Cary Graves has provided a response and that information is attached. PARKING REQUIREMENTS: Parking as required by code needs to be determined in order to issue this permit. The applicants continue to assert that they have space available for the required parking. After a further review of the KMC, it appears that parking on the lot in question may not be required. KMC 14.20.250 Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements (b) (3) allows the Commission to allow parking on any .lot if it is ~ determined that it is impractical to provide parking on the same or adjoining lot. The 06/18/97 Memorandum 2 ~ planned parking lot as part of the Mission Street Project (copy of site plan attached) should be considered to satisfy the parking requirements. The planned public parking lot will accommodate 9 vehicles (7 regular spaces and 2 handicap spaces). In addition, KMC14.20.250 (b) (6) also seems to apply to this permit. Again, the planned public parking area would allow this business to utilize these spaces to fulfill their parking needs. As required in this section, the parking is within the 300 feet required in the code and will be available within one year of the permit being issued. Section (6) [B] would not apply as there is no assessment district being formed to pay for this improvement. MISSION STREET PROJECT: Ms. Gray stated during the public hearing on June 11"', that to access the property would require crossing a six inch curb. Ms. Gray was mistaken. The curb that will be in place in front of the property in question will actually be a rolled curb as shown on the attached drawing (circled, Type 2). In addition, there will be a 24 foot driveway as part of the project. This driveway will be placed in the location of the current driveway to the property. The attached site plan shows that this will be placed to the edge of the church property which means the occupants of this residence will be crossing church property which they have done since the residence was constructed over in 1922 , 74 years ago. This is not the only property that was i or is "land locked" in this area by church properly. As shown on the site plan, the daycare was also in this situation until the plat was prepared for the Mission Street Project. In fact, Mission Street itself was on church property until the plat was prepared and the church gave right-of--way for the project. Given the historical use of this property for access, the administration considers there is access to the property. The Mission Street project, as shown on the site plan, will offer sidewalks, street lights, and bus parking on Overland. Public Works Director Keith Kornelis will be in attendance at your meeting should you have questions about this project. The City has received no negative comments from property owners who were notified through the public hearing process. We have received some written comments which I have attached for your information. For the record, the city has not received any official information from the church in regards to its stance on this permit. Attachments cc: Richard A.

A coffee house operated at this location for a brief period in 1993. The operation lapsed for reasons stated in the letter from the applicant. The zone at this time was CC-Central Commercial and no CUP was required. This use is listed as a conditional use in the current KMC Land Use Table. Building Official: A building permit is required if remodeling occurs. No building code issues are required for issuance of a CUP. RECOMMENDATIONS This would appear to be an appropriate use within the zone. Recommend approval with proper off-street parking. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. PZ97-24 2. Application 3.

Dorothy Gray, Teacher Specialist `~ownsite ~C1storic Board' 'une 17, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO: Cary Graves, City Attorney ,. ~~~- FROM: Dorothy Gray, TSH Chair ,' RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS IN THE TSH There seems to be some confusion about the review of conditional use permits in the Townsite Historic Zone. From the enclosed memo of May 5, 1997, (paragraph 1, sentence 2), it is my understanding that you did say, "....it would be consistent with the intent of the TSH zone for the TSH Board to review Conditional Use Permit applications and felt an advisory review by the Board is appropriate." However, at the P $ Z meeting of June 11, 1997, it was stated by Jack LaShot, (see enclosed minutes, p. 9, paragraph 2) "..it is the opinion of the administration including the city attorney that procedures were followed and that conditional uses don't need to be reviewed by the TSH Board." I would very much appreciate it if you could answer the following questions prior to the next P & Z meeting of June 25, 1997: 1. Does the Townsite Historic (TSH) Zoning District ordinance #14,20.105 give the board the right to review conditional use permit applications and submit an advisory recommendation to P 8 Z? 2. If not, what would be your recommendation for wording that could be amended into the ordinance that would give the board the right to give an advisory recommendation to P 8~ Z? 3. Legally, can the city grant a conditional use permit to an applicant who is in violation of a part of the KMC? 4. Would the city be in jeopardy if it granted a conditional use permit to an applicant who must cross private property in order to access their business without the permission of that private property owner? ~~ cc TSH Board, P S Z Boarc1 Ridc Ross, City Manager Marilyn Kebschull, Adrnin. Assistant Jack LaShot Memorandum Date: 05/05/97 To: Townsite Historic District Board From: Marilyn Kebschull, Administrative Assistant RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS Cary Graves, City Attorney, reviewed KMC 14.20.105 (i) and (j). It is his /i""r Mr. Graves did state that he felt it would be consistent with the intent of the TSH ` zone for the TSH Board to review Conditional Use Permit applications and felt an advisory review by the Board is appropriate. Mr. Graves and I discussed how the Board could be involved in the review process. In general, we decided that if the timing was correct, application information could be included in the TSH Board's meeting packet. !f not, the Board could be included in the public hearing notice mailing. - - - ~ - - - - - ....-•, ------ . ..., . ~......., . t Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 9 June 1 1, 1997 stated that tourists walk there and they do need a quiet, reflective place. Mahurin stated it was used by the locals in the evening for gatherings and was a good positive thing for our youth. Mahurin stated that unless there are significant other problems, she would support this when it comes back to Planning. and Zoning. Mahurin stated that at this- point it is privately owned but if the city owned it and they could do something different, that is a different issue. Mahurin stated she thinks it is in harmony with the area. Mahurin stated she feels badly that the church opposes it and think they should work in concert adding she would hate to see a fight over parking. Mahurin stated that maybe when it comes back for review, they can have iinput from the City of Kenai that can be taken into consideration. Mahurin stated that when the Commission is through with the discussion she would like to make a motion to postpone action until it goes through the TSH Board. Glick asked if that was a motion. Mahurin stated she would prefer to wait until after the discussion. Glick for the record he needed to mention the letter received tonight from the owner of the building, Michael Carpenter, who is in support of the coffee shop. Christian asked staff what the issues are regarding parking and the property line and asked if they were presented accurately. La Shot stated the sketch submitted is not clear enough to determine whether there is an area available on site for parking. L~_ Shot~tated-4t+-wEOUld.-butte-rit~r ~n be rovided. Shot '\ meted the issue about procedures being circumvented, it is the opinion of the !~ administration including the city attorney that procedures were followed and that ~on_ ditionai uses don't need to be reviewed by the TSH Bvard. _~_,_. Christian asked about the issue of sewer and water and if it was a problem. La Shot stated the upcoming Mission Street project intends to extend city water to that area and that would be available to that residence. Christian clarified that currently they have their own wail. La Shot stated there was an alteration made .that was looked at by the building official which did not require a building permit. La Shot stated he believed it was a clear wind screen that did not require a building permit. Bryson asked if there were any restrictive aspects of the parking that is being provided for the public or church use for visiting the church. La Shot stated he believe there is parking being provided in the Mission Street project in that area adding he doesn't know if it will be possible to control if people are using the parking area to go to this business. La Shot stated that parking is provided for anyone who needs to use the area. Administration would recommend available off street parking on private property. Bryson asked if the ear that sticks out on Mission Street wilt become public property. La Shot stated he believes it will be or has been dedicated. MAHURIN MOVED TO POSTPONE ACTION UNTIL IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE TSH REVIEW PROCESS AND COMES BACK TO US AND THAT THE QUESTION OF CITY OF KENAI " Gil ~ ~4~~~ -- ~ 210 FIDALGO AVE., S 1, ALASKA 99611-7794 T N E 90 - 35 MEMORANDUM ~V!-GOJ-JV 1 ~ ~~~~~- 1992 -.,~.~.- To: // Dorothy Gray, Townsite District Board From: ~~-b Cary R. Graves, City Attorney cc: Rick Ross (City Manager), Jack La Shot (City Engineer), Marilyn Kebschull (Administrative Assistant), Planning & Zoning Commissioners, TSH Board Members Date: June 20, 1997 RE: Conditional Use Permits in the Townsite Historic Zoning District Your memorandum of June 17, 1997 requested answers to four questions regarding conditional use permits in the TSH District. My answers follow. 1. Does the Townsite Historic (TSH) Zoning District ordinance KMC 14.20.105 give the Board the right to review conditional use permit applications and submit an advisory recommendation to Planning & Zoning? No. The Townsite District Board was created by the Kenai City Council. It has only such power as the Council, by ordinance, gave it. Nowhere in KMC 14.20.105 are conditional use permits mentioned. KMC 14.20.105 does not give the Board the authority to review conditional use permits. Marilyn Kebschull sent the notice of the conditional use application to the Board because we (Ms. Kebschull, Mr. Ross and I) thought it was consistent with the intent of the ordinance to inform the members of the application and allow them to comment at the Planning & Zoning public hearing. That is consistent with the Council's policy of expediting permit decisions. The intent of the Townsite District ordinance was to avoid overlapping or duplicate public hearings on the same issue whenever possible. The administration's approach was to allow the Board to comment to Planning & Zoning while expediting the decision-making process. That policy is consistent with both the intent of the townsite ordinance and the clearly established policy of the Council. Unless directed to do otherwise by Council, the Administration intends to process the next conditional use permit application in the TSH District in the same manner. Memo to Dorothy Gray June 20, 1997 Page 2 of 2 2. If not, what would be your recommendation for wording that could be amended into the ordinance that would give the Board the right to give an advisory recommendation to Planning & Zoning? Given that such an amendment would apparently run contrary to Council's policy of avoiding overlapping permitting hearings, I feel it is appropriate that I receive a directive from Council before drafting or suggesting language requiring the Historic District Board to review conditional use permits in the TSH District. 3. Legally, can the City grant a conditional use permit to an applicant who is in violation of a part of the Kenai Municipal Code? Without specific information about the nature of the violations, only a general answer can be given. It is correct that an application for a conditional use permit should meet the requirements in KMC 14.20.150 which governs the issuance of conditional uses. 4. Would the City be in jeopardy if it granted a conditional use permit to an applicant who must cross private property in order to access their business without the permission of that private property owner? In granting a conditional use permit, the City would not be authorizing the use of a neighbor's property. The City would only authorize use of the applicant's property in a particular manner (i.e., as a coffee house). Therefore, the City would not be in jeopardy in a dispute between the applicant and a neighbor who alleges a trespass. A dispute between the owner of the house and the church over access and any prescriptive rights (adverse possession) to access which may have been acquired over time would presumably have to be resolved in litigation between the parties. That would be a private dispute which the City would not involve itself in. Hopefully, this memorandum has answered some, if not all, of your questions.

I know Mary Amt and Steve personally and know them to be responsible people. They have put a lot of thought into this project, worked hard to improve the property and have proposed what I believe to be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Tourism in Kenai is an important, growing industry, and we need to make sure people who visit have a variety of places to see and things to do. By allowing this business to go forward, tourists and local residents will have one more reason to visit Old Town. I hope that you will consider the positive addition this business will be to the City of Kenai and grant the conditional use permit requested. Thank you.

ATTES Plannin ~cretary C AIRPERSON Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 Land Use Table Work Session Minutes April 1 1, 1997 suggestion that they could make it conditional where water and sewer is allowed and not allowed where water and sewer not available. Graves noted that water and sewer is required within 200 feet of all mains. Graves asked if there is any place in TSH zone that is not on water and sewer. La Shot stated he thought perhaps in the back behind the church. Christian suggested they have the Land Use Table reflect N's for now and it could be reviewed later. Mahurin stated she agreed that the Table should reflect the Land Use Development requirements. Note, at this point, decided to place the N designation in 5/6 and 7 or more family dwelling categories for the RR zone. Bryson asked for clarification if they were going to make changes on the Land Development Requirements Table. Agreement that they would not make changes at this time. RURAL RESIDENTIAL 1: Decision to place an "N" in the 4, 5/6, and 7 Family Dwelling sections. Christian commented that if they didn't want four, five, six, or seven family dwellings why would they want a townhouse. Mahurin read a portion of the code relating to townhouses. Graves noted that Section 160 is a separate ordinance for townhouses. Christian questioned how they could allow a townhouse when don't allow a four plex in the RR1 zone. Kebschull commented that townhouses are privately owned which may make a difference. Graves noted the code stated that total lot coverage should not cover more than 30 percent of the lot in the RR and RS zones and 40 percent in the RU zone. Bryson asked what the code would require for the remaining zones. Bryson commented it may have been written before those zones were created. Graves stated they could amend the code to include all zones. Bryson asked if that would be reasonable. Graves stated he felt it was consistent noting they will need to have ordinance to clarify. NOTE: Clarify Section 160 by ordinance to include all zones.

Conditional Use Permit-Coffee House-Lot 39A, Dolchok Subdivision-604 Peterson Way-Many Ann Alfano (PZ97-24) Gray stated she would like to make it clear. to the people in audience and the people on the Board according to Townsite Historic District law, the intent of the TSH zoning district is intended to provide for a mixed control use in a designated area which will protect and enhance the historic character of the zone. Gray, continued reading from code, "The goal is to manage all new development, reconstruction, and alterations within the zone. The intent of the TSH review board is to enhance and identify the city of Kenai's heritage, to present this heritage in a manner that promotes civic pride, and to foster an awareness of where we as a people have evolved." Gray continued noting the HDB is simply a review board and will forward a recommendation onto the P&Z which has the power to decide if a CUP is accepted or rejected. Gray advised that as they reviewed the application that she felt it important that the Board understand that the decision or recommendation is not based on whether they like or dislike the idea of the proposed application but what is stated in the law and what they are assigned as commission members to look at and are sworn to look at. Gray asked that as they review the permit that they carefully study what is in the application process as outlined in that part of code on page 14-23. Huhndorf asked for copy of code and Gray provided him with an extra copy she had. Gray stated that according to the application process, as stated in the code, the applicant has filed an application with city's planning department. Gray stated they needed to look at a couple of items according to the code, schematic plans of the proposed construction, a site plan and landscaping plan, and to decide if the development criteria fits the historic character of the area. Gray asked for a motion to discuss this item. WIK MOVED TO OPEN DISCUSSION. MOTION SECONDED BY HUHNDORF. Gray asked the applicants if they had brought copies of the landscape site plan. Mary Ann Alfano explained they have a map of the site but they didn't bring their application. The applicants shared photographs they had brought with the board. Mary Ann Alfano explained the dormers are not restained and have been resided with plywood. Mary Ann Alfano clarified the interior pictures show disarray because they are working on the coffee house. Huhndorf asked about furniture and was advised it had been purchased from antique stores in California and some of it was in the house and was from Wildwood. Alfano added that the windows on the Townsite Historic District Board Page 3 Minutes June 16, 1997 windscreen came from the Wildwood demolition which are the same windows as in the chapel. Huhndorf asked if the gray painted addition was something the applicants had put on the residence and Alfano advised yes. Gray reminded the Board that the addition to the house, structural changes, are not the issue and that will be a separate issue. Gray stated they need to decide in the next ten minutes if they approve of this business operating within the TSH zone. Gray, referring to site plan which was provided by applicant, stated it is not clear where the house is on it and was advised it doesn't show the house. (At this point applicants were asked to step to the microphone as they had been speaking from the floor.) Steve Liberty, applicant, stated this was the only drawing he could find and he was trying to show the front boundary is 52 feet across because parking was an issue. Liberty stated they need enough room for five vehicles in front adding there is no problem with 52 feet. Gray stated she glad they brought up the issue of parking because that is something that will probably be continued on in the next meeting about the Mission Street paving. Gray stated that to access that parking there is planned to be a curb there for a parking lot for the Chapel parking. Liberty stated there are three different styles of curb in the plans. Liberty stated it is not a 6 inch curb as Gray had described prior. Liberty stated it is just a water gutter and you can bring grade up to it. Gray asked how people are going to pull into the coffee shop parking and then people pull behind for the chapel parking, they will get blocked in. Gray stated they will be double parking. Alfano responded that they had talked to the man who was planning the project and he didn't seem to think there was any conflict with it. Gray stated this was her understanding adding she has the map showing proposed parking in front of lot 39A is parking extended. Gray, pointing to the map, showed parking adding that as she understood it the parking spaces would be right in the first corner. Alfano noted they have plenty of available parking behind the house is they chose to use it. Gray stated that she is saying if people park here for the chapel that could block their parking. Alfano stated they have to have an easement. Gray continued saying if some people park in here, they could get blocked in. Alfano stated they consulted with (inaudible) and they cannot be blocked in. Liberty stated that if you are going to put stripes there and say it's been used for how many years, 30 or 50 years adding he has no idea how many years, but after 7 years time you cannot stop people from using it. Gray stated there is a driveway to the property. Alfano noted that is all they will need for access. Alfano noted that at the last meeting Gray had stated there would be a 6 inch curb and they wanted to clarify that because they hadn't heard about that adding that no one seemed to know about this. Gray stated that Mike Tauriainen had told her that when she had called his office. Gray stated he had explained there are different styles of curbs adding that he is the engineer for the project. Townsite Historic District Board Minutes Page 4 June 16, 1997 Gray stated they had seven minutes and needed to continue the discussion and make a decision. Huhndorf stated he had discussed this with Steve (Liberty) and talked with you (Gray) on the phone about a week ago stating that one, he doesn't have a problem with the use as much as with the appearance of it. Huhndorf stated he had told Steve that he would suggest calling OHA to see if it meets code. Huhndorf stated he doesn't believe in inhibiting personal property rights even if he doesn't like what they are doing. Huhndorf stated that as far as he is concerned if they can keep the appearance it can help and bring attention to the historic district as long as appearances are kept up. Huhndorf noted the addition was painted gray and that structure is new itself. Huhndorf was advised by Shannon Fallacaro (1002 Inlet Woods, Kenai) that it was painted to match the existing house so it would not detract from the house. Alfano advised they had planned to side it afterwards with a siding that matched the house even better. Huhndorf noted this is one of seven properties that create the historic district. Alfano advised they understand that. Kluge stated he was curious when the addition was done to the building, to the original building? Alfano advised that was done, noting she had gotten the information from Emil Dolchok, and Dolchok lived in the house 35 years and it is at least 35 years ago. Group discussion about the additions and clarification about the time that the additions were added. Huhndorf noted that even with the addition it was given the kind of review it was by the survey. Fallacaro advised she lived in the house four years ago and that was there then. Gray, noting there was another meeting to follow this meeting, advised they needed to continue discussion about whether this CUP application has a recommendation by this board or not. Huhndorf asked if they would move to close the last motion. Wik, noting that everyone is in a hurry, stated she has questions on the parking. Wik stated they made reference that you would park behind the house. Alfano stated they don't want to park behind the house but could as there is plenty of space between the church property and the house. Alfano stated that this was brought up by her landlord, Mike Carpenter, who had stated that parking is not a problem and that there is ample parking. Alfano added that Carpenter had advised if there was a question about parking they could park behind the house. Alfano stated she would like not to obstruct the landscaping by having cars park there. Kluge stated he cannot comfortably make a recommendation on this project tonight noting one, they are pushed for time, two asked if there is an asbuilt survey showing the building location on property. Kluge asked if they had an asbuilt of the Townsite Historic District Board Page 5 Minutes June 16, 1997 property. Alfano stated they don't have it with them. Kluge stated he is speaking of the interest of pursuing the project and to do it correctly they should have an asbuilt survey to show the building and then look at parking and look at what's in the best interest of the property with the space available. Kluge stated that without that he could not make a judgment whether there is adequate parking or not and what the game plan is. Kluge advised he doesn't have enough information to make a decision. Kebschull advised that the code doe not require asbuilt and an asbuilt would only be required if a building permit was required. Kebschull noted they were not required a building permit. Kluge stated that when you run a business in the city of Kenai it is in the zoning ordinance they are required to show parking. Kebschull reiterated they are not required an asbuilt adding they would be asking for something not required in the code. Kluge stated that to show parking as required by the zoning ordinance, one needs to know where the property lines are in relation to the building. Alfano offered to get the information and Liberty advised he has taken measurements noting it is 30 feet from the front property line to the closest section of the house. It is 50 feet across. Liberty stated they have a 30 by 50 feet area to park cars. Fallacaro advised she felt they have what Kluge was asking for. Moore stated he appreciates Kluge's comments adding they were educated comments. Moore continued stating that according to the application that regardless of what this board does, P&Z will hear this at their meeting on June 25tH meeting and will make a decision, yes or no. Moore stated he didn't feel they could put this off adding that P&Z will not put it off. Moore stated that the Board needs to send a message one way or another on their feelings. Kluge stated that maybe his concerns were misplaced and should say that personally he feels this occupancy can be compatible with Old Town if it is done tastefully and feel that P&2 should verify that the zoning ordinance been complied with in regards to snow removal, parking requirements, and landscaping. Kluge noted that he doesn't believe that landscaping comes in until they do a certain amount of work. Kluge stated that parking is required by zoning ordinance for an occupancy and unless they have sufficient parking for the occupancy and the square footage of their facility, then it doesn't meet the code. Gray stated she wanted to pass on a message to the board that she had spoke with Steve Peterson who is one of the directors of the National Park Service in Anchorage. Gray stated he had phoned her today about this permit and said that he is very concerned about types of businesses that would operate in close proximity to National Historic Landmarks and he is preparing a letter to send to P&Z about the propriety of businesses that exist in historic zones. Gray stated, as he put it, that exist to exploit the traffic generated by a National Historic Landmark. Townsite Historic District Board Minutes Page 6 June 16, 1997 Gray stated they need to make some sort of recommendation because P&Z is expecting some recommendation. Gray stated it can be combined a combined recommendation, we approve of this but ask for more information on something else. Huhndorf stated that if this is the National Park Service he doesn't know what the rules would be. Huhndorf noted he had just visited the Smithsonian and that he doesn't know how historic the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial are, noting they were only built about 100 years ago. Huhndorf noted there are things like book stores right off the monuments themselves run by the National Park Services itself. Huhndorf stated that he thinks even places like Gettysburg and Colonial Williamsburg have shops that do commerce. Huhndorf stated he was not being contentious but to look at what he saw adding he is not sure how these line up with each other. Fallacaro asked to be allowed to speak. Gray asked that it be kept brief. Fallacaro advised she lived in the house in the summer of '93. Fallacaro noted that what was enjoyable was that tourists that would go visit the chapel would wander up and talk to her while she was reading and come in the house wanting to know if it was still a coffee house. They were very interested in getting a cup of coffee or in the area. Alfano stated the point Fallacaro is trying to make noting she has been living in the house for three years and there seems to be a lack of information. Alfano stated they had always planned to put history books about Kenai in the shop and serve the community and the locals. Alfano stated she gets asked constantly about things that happened to the point where she has had to read so that she can answer questions. Alfano noted that people come to try to take photos inside the house. Alfano stated they have no privacy living there. Alfano noted the house is privately owned. Alfano noted this is unfortunate for the historical society. Alfano stated that very few people would want to live in that house because of the lack of privacy adding it suits the purpose. Alfano stated she originally planned this for the locals and as far as exploiting tourism she would close down some months in summer as she has been forced to now. Alfano stated she is here as a resident of Alaska and is concerned about friends who like to have a place to go noting people could come over in the evenings and just do art work there and that they love the atmosphere and it is conducive to that kind of thing. Alfano stated if the board approved the permit, they would like suggestions, how can they make it palatable to everybody, also with the church. Alfano stated she has read all the articles about Steve Paloza and going against the church. Alfano advised she and Steve were raised Catholic and have no interest in going against the church. Alfano stated she is almost superstitious about it adding it is true and that the board must know about "Liki Lyras" stating she was shocked with the whole thing with the Townsite Historic District Board Minutes church. Page 7 June 16, 1997 Gray noted there was a motion on the floor for discussion only adding she would like to call question on that motion. Gray stated they would need a motion to accept the application for the CUP. UNANIMOUS CONSENT TO CLOSE MOTION ON DISCUSSION. KLUGE MOVED TO APPROVE THE PROJECT CONTINGENT UPON IT MEETING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KENAI. HUHNDORF SECONDED THE MOTION. Huhndorf stated his only discussion is that the appearance of the house stay right adding he doesn't like porch and addition. Huhndorf stated he may have a certain propriety attitude with the history in the area but added he has a certain respect for personal property rights. Huhndorf stated that if he had a house in the historic district he wouldn't like people controlling what he could do with his stuff. Huhndorf reiterated that he doesn't like the porch but added it can be taken off or assuaged later with OHA. WIK PROPOSED AN AMENDMENT ON THE PARKING TO MAKE SURE THAT PARKING IS SUFFICIENT NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. Kluge stated that is what he was referring to in the zoning ordinance. Kluge stated there are requirements in the zoning ordinance based on the square footage of a facility that require a certain number of spaces. Kluge stated that if they added on, that increases the parking requirements as well. Gray stated that the applicant has mentioned working with the church stating she thought it would be a good recommendation of the board to have a written proposal drawn up that would honor the hours that the church is in session beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday night through at least noon on Sundays where the coffee house would not be operating. Gray stated that she would also hope that the approval of this as a coffee house would, asked Councilman Moore what if alcohol were to be served on the premises at a later date? Gray asked if this would be a separate issue. Moore asked if the applicants had a liquor license. Alfano responded that she didn't know how that rumor got started. Gray stated she was just asking if that by approving this now it would allow for expansion at a later date. Huhndorf commented that if approved now, it wouldn't allow for a liquor license later. Moore noting that Kluge had mentioned that you cannot have a liquor license that close to a church or a day care center. Gray asked if Kluge would accept that as a friendly amendment. Kluge stated he Townsite Historic District Board Page 8 Minutes June 16, 1997 would adding he felt it was a good amendment. Gray noted that the amendment was that the Board would approve the CUP with the, asked Kebschull to read the amendment. Kebschull read Wik's amendment on parking. Gray asked about the agreement with the church. Kebschull advised that she didn't know that was a motion adding she didn't believe the chairperson could make a motion. Gray stated she asked Kluge if he would make a friendly amendment. Kebschull stated she thought Kluge was accepting Wik's amendment. Huhndorf asked if they needed a motion. Wik stated that Kluge had noted her amendment was already included in the motion. Wik stated Gray's was an amendment on the hours of operation. Kebschull asked for clarification if Kluge made an amendment to your motion. Kluge stated that Gray had asked if he would accept the amendment and he had agreed that he would accept it. Kebschull advised the chairperson cannot make a motion adding that someone else would need to do so. WIK MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION LIMITING THE COFFEE HOUSES OPERATIONS FROM 6 P.M.

The report addresses a widespectrum of Alaska...; AI~ITCAtTQ transportation issues .facing Alaska's communities. The report draws on the" experiences and knowledge of a host.of contributors from throughout the state which provides the reader with numerous perspectives from our Great Land. Leading off the report with a history of Alaska's transportation system is Walt Parker, former Commissioner ~ .egislative Report ............ 2 3ecome a Famous Writer! ..... 3 Intangling the Net ........... 3 UCP Information ............ 4 Jorthem Region News ........ 4 :ook Inlet Symposium ....... 5 Ibandoned Cars In Kodiak .... 6 lalfway Houses ............. 7 Tanning Oft-rcia/ Development Report ..................8 'rofessiona/ Development Report .......................8 !ew GIS Software for Land Use Planning ... ...........9 'resident's Message ......... 9 lational Council Seeks Nominations for 1997 Awarols ......................11 998 APA National Planning Awards ................12 997 Awards Video Now Available ......................13 ~ecretary/Treasunr's Report .. 13 ;lection Results ............ 13 upcoming Events ........... 14 Board Members ............ 14 Transportation and Public Facilities. Walt traces the development of our transportation system from its pre-Alaska Railroad days to the "famous spaghetti map that showed the tripling or quadrupling of our highway system" that caused great controversy in the 1970s to the major issues of today. Another major part of the report is devoted to specific transportation projects and issues in our communities. Nancy Webb, for instance, talks about how transportation decisions can help restore downtown Fairbanks and improve the city's connection to its riverfront. Kodiak's efforts to develop a transit system for its residents is described by Linda Freed. A fine job is done at explaining how decisions are made in selecting projects for funding, how they are subsequently designed and constructed, and how and where the public fits in. The report also focuses on the state's future by discussing how the growing demands of our tourism industry and the demands for more neighborhood friendly designs are affecting the form of specific projects. In summary, the report offers a good discussion of where we have been, where we are now and what lies ahead. The wide variety of authors provides a truely statewide perspective which is often missing z in reports of this nature. The report is recommended for those interested in today's transportation issues. The report, sponsored by the Alaska Center for the Environment, was funded by the generous contributions o~ The Energy Foundation, Surdna Foundation and the Alaska Conservation Foundation.

Scott Williams, Chairman Legislative Committee Spring has definitely arrived in the Capital City. Crocus and daffodils are peeking out of the ground, white collared workers are playing basketball in the Capitol Building pazking lot, and Legislature is carving out a budget with an eye on adjournment in a few weeks. The session came in like a lion and seems to be leaving more like a lamb. With major budget cuts in mind, the majority made moves to divest the State of the Coastal Management Program, sell Alaska Marine Highway Ferries, move AMHS headquarters from Juneau to Ketchikan and a number of other highly controversial moves including the "takings" bill that would effect community and regional services and programs. At this time, the major program bills seem to be resting in committees with few exceptions. The highway signs bill SB 56 will have considerable impacts on highway communities. The Knowles Administration is apparently scrambling to create a "permit streamlining" bill to counter, or in response to, HP 28 concerning Coastal Management. The intent was to introduce it before the end of the current session but state agencies are having a difficult time reaching consensus. Municipalities will definitely want to see what is proposed, particularly with respect to notice and participation of local government in Spring,199T permit process. I might add, the bill, while in committee has received overwhelming testimony in opposition. It seems that the state has been spazed from some significant programmatic and monetary damage. Communities will see a decrease in revenue-shazing and other state pass-through funding of about six percent. I think that with further cuts expected next session, we have our work cut out for us in 1998. A number of the Alaska Chapter membership were fortunate enough to attend the National Conference in April in the sunny city of San Diego. The conference was a great opportunity to meet other state members and compaze notes. I represented the Alaska Chapter at the APA Delegates Conference. A number of policy motions were discussed and approved by the delegates. The Delegation worked on cultural resources, billboards, transportation and impact fees policy guides. Cultural and billboazds were passed on consent agenda. The remaining two required almost three hours of testimony and caucusing to get past the delegation. I found it interesting how the urban states tend to rule to delegation concerning policy, particularly transportation. 'That's good news for the overall APA voice in Washington, DC and state capitols, but not so good news for rural states and communities. I guess politics is politics at all levels. I would like to make a formal recommendation to the delegation that a rural subcommittee be formed permanently to help offset lazge representations of urban states.

Untangling the Net by: Margaret King In this time of high-speed change, sound bites, and information overload, many individuals and organizations find themselves "snarled" in a myriad of issues which can severely complicate their ability to move forward. It's like a fishing net: when tangled, no fish can be caught -only by Spring, 1997 taking the net out and untangling it can we yield effective results. Many of these "snarls" are a result of our complex public decision-making process. Only by untangling them can we hope to develop results that truly serve the public's needs. Resource Solution, a program at the Environment and Natural Resources Institute, University of Alaska Anchorage, received its initial funding from the Hewlett Foundation to focus on developing the capacity and willingness in Alaska to cooperate, negotiate, and reach implementable decisions on public issues, thus untangling the net. One of its goals is to bring new skills, abilities, and knowledge to solve complex issues by: • Focusing resources to develop unique solutions, • Encouraging diverse viewpoints to work together on issues of common concern, • Deliberately seeking the best solution overall, and • Nurturing a sense of community. Resource Solutions's primary focus is on improving public decision making and constructive problem solving. Most of its work will involve natural resource and environmental issues because they are so important to this state and its citizens. Resource Solutions has several goals that augment its work to improve decision-making structures. One is to build public awareness about where the "snarls" are in the decision-making process and introduce techniques to help re-set the "nets." A common belief is that decision-making efforts either sink or swim merely based on who's in the office or which staff member is heading a project. This does have some influence on the outcome, but not nearly to the degree the public assumes. The real problem is much more fundamental: it is often the process itself. The current process is so "tied up" that it doesn't allow agreements or solutions to be reached. Decisions may be made, but most often they are compromises that "split the baby in half," and then nobody's happy -least of all the baby. Another goal is to provide both government officials and members of the public better access to information and to professionals who have specific ;a skills that can yield positive changes when applied in the public sector. The Alaska Chapter of the American Planning Association provides an access point to this experience and know-how. Other groups, such as the American Society for Training and Development, the Community Development Society, and the Alaska Dispute Settlement Association, which Resource Solutions is working with, bring different but complementary skill and experience. Resource Solutions is developing a series of publication as tools for government officials and others to more easily access under-utilized resources. Data gathered from the questionnaires which were previously mailed will be used to develop two of these new publications. One of the ,questionnaires will assist us in compiling a practitioners' diirectory that will contain information about private consultants and government employees who have skills and experience in a wide range of arenas, including collaborative problem solving, organizational development, public involvement, facilitation, and mediation:- The second questionnaire requests information about projects that have been . successfully conducted in Alaska in a collaborative manner, perhaps using a facilitator or mediator.: -~. ~ :.,a ;~.. - ~~~~-,~~ Ifyou have information to contribute to either pubhcattory Resource Solutions-would greatly appreciate it if you wouldtake the~time to review, ..r,.~ . complete,=and return these questionnaires.

Northern Region News by: Earl Finkler, Barrow Spring Into Summer in the Arctic . _ ~~, Greetings from the North Slope of Alaska! By the time you read this, spring whaling should be underway, from Point Hope to Barrow, as the mighty Bowhead whales migrate eastward toward their summer habitat in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. There are always concerns that industrial activity, such as offshore drilling for oil, could disrupt such . w, "migration.,, Nose could be a key factor. The whales communicate with each other at~' ~ ` considerable distances,~and sometimes-seem to just sing, as they swim slowly under the ice: The .. question is whether the noise of drilling, ships and -. ~~°a ,. rt ~, - _ ,, .w 5 other sources could have negative impacts on the whales. The industry, the North Slope Borough and state and federal agencies have done considerable research on the topic, and continue to study the issue. Local whaling captains and their crews have testified on this issue at numerous public meetings on oil leasing, and it is hoped that scientists will be able to fully integrate such historic and traditional knowledge into their research and data bases. Offshore exploration permits and leases include stipulations to minimize any noise impacts, and drilling has been restricted or stopped during actual migration. I remember when I was doing the news for our local radio station KBRW and I prepared an in- depth story on noise and whale migration. We put together sounds the whales make with sounds form drilling, ships and aircraft. The story presented both sides of the issue and noted the need-for more research. But it also included one scientist who said that fully and conclusively reseazching the question might do more harm than good -- i.e., introducing noise into the whaling migration and then discovering that it has substantial negative impacts: Anyway, we sent the story on to National Public Radio in Washington DC. NPR was interested in the story, but then it was bumped by news of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf Waz. The story did run on the Alaska Public Radio Network, however. Sometimes it is helpful to make career changes now and then. Radio is all sound, and I think working in that medium for five years gave me another type of knowledge relative to the issue of whale migration and noise. It is one thing to read books and reports, and attend lengthily seminars and heazings, but quite another to be in a sound studio and hear the calls of the whales and recordings of underwater noise. I can only imagine how this alt comes together in the cold, dark waters under the ice of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Spring, 1997 Hey! Hey! The regular baseball season is underway, and once again hop springs eternal for the Chicago Cubs. In Alaska, we planners can not only work to maximize open space and plenty of softball fields, but also get out of our stressful offices and play some bail ourselves. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!! Take Me Out With the Crowd....." Have a great Spring and Summer!! Cook Inlet Symposium The waters of the Cook Inlet basin support diverse natural and human communities. Conservation and use of the watershed's aquatic environments require a firm scientific foundation and communication among residents, resource users, citizen groups, government agencies, and the scientific community. To help meet those needs, a 3-day Cook Inlet Symposium is being planned for 29-31 October 1998 in Anchorage, Alaska. The symposium will be part of a regional watershed conference entitled Watersheds '97. This interdisciplinary symposium on Cook Inlet will include presentations and discussions on: • Research and monitoring programs that examine marine and freshwater environments, and associated flora or fauna of the Cook Inlet watershed. Human activities and natural processes in terrestrial environments that affect aquatic resources. • Concerns of resource users, citizen groups, and management agencies about regulatory and policy issues that affect management of the Cook Inlet watershed The goals of the Cook Inlet Symposium are: s • Examine and assess the scientific information available on marine and freshwater environments of the Cook Inlet watershed. • Identify available information that may be useful in management of the watershed. • Exchange information across disciplines to promote integration of ongoing or proposed studies. • Develop a foundation for enhanced communication among people and groups interested in the health of the Cook Inlet watershed. • Discuss science and policy issues and-identify areas where additional scientific understanding is needed. Please share this information with others who are interested in the Cook Inlet watershed. Abandoned Cars In ___ _. X,. Kodiak by: Clarence W. Selig "`Planning and Zoning Commission `"°' Kodiak Island Borough Abandoned cars pose a problem for many communities. But for Kodiak Island, the problem is unique. Most cars that are brought to the Island never leave and end up after living out their usefulness either abandoned or left to rust out in a back yard. Those Junkers that are abandoned under the Kodiak Island Borough jurisdiction are towed directly to the metal disposal facility, crushed and recycled for bulk shipment. The City of Kodiak contracts out to a towing service to remove abandoned vehicles in their jurisdiction, which are then taken to an impound lot. Periodically, the towing service holds and Spring, 1997 impound auction. It is in this manner that the towing company can recoup its towing and storage fees. The successful bidder takes the auction slip to the DMV. When all the paperwork is in order, a title is issued. I have suggested to the City of Kodiak that his process needs to be scrutinized and more readily monitored. Some of the cazs bought at auctions are not mechanically fit to be driven and are very unsightly with dings, dents, one-eyed headlights, mission mufflers and oil burning engines that blow smoky exhaust. I have also suggested that a policy be adopted with each vehicle, where release from the impound lot would include and inspection before the car is allowed to be driven. I feel also that a "three strikes and you're out" policy should be enforce where a vehicle impounded for a third time would be taken directly to the crusher and recycled. This policy would include a recommendation by the ticketing officer that any vehicle, because of its mechanical or physical unsafe condition or appearance, be taken to the metal dump facility. I do not find fault with those persons who are buying these auctioned vehicles, because it is a source of affordable transportation for many who have limited income. I do have concerns with the process. All this being said, I have composed a poem that I feel is appropriate in describing this problem. Laments of a Junker or A Junker Rap I was bought at an auction for abuck-five-oh They fixed me up and away I did go. I was sold to a buddy for abuck-two-five That's because I was getting hazd to drive Then I was sold to another friend for abuck-five-oh About this time I could barely go I was abandoned along a road It was back to impound I knew I would go 7 Broken tail Light -busted headlight -with a dent just about everywhere.

Halfway Houses by: Lisa M. Parker, Vice-President Southcentral Region After many months and numerous attempts to locate a halfway house on the Kenai Peninsula, in September 1996 the Kenai Peninsula Borough appointed a citizen task force to look into the issues. The task force was formed to help develop solutions to what can be a touchy and volatile situation. For those who have not followed the developments associated with halfway houses on the Kenai Peninsula a little historical data may be helpful. In May 1996 the assembly enacted an ordinance requiring an individual obtain a land use permit from the borough prior to operating a correctional community residential center (CCRC) or a gravel pit. Two days after the assembly enacted the ordinance and individual came forward requesting a land use permit for a CCRC. Since receiving the application the following has occurred: * The Planning Commission held numerous public hearings and work sessions; The Planning Commission granted a conditional use permit; * The Planning Commission action was appealed to the Board of Adjustment; Spring, 1997 * The Board of Adjustment upheld the Planning Commission action; down; and The proposed halfway house site burned * An individual has submitted (on 4/18/97) a request to the Borough Clerk that the Board of Adjustment remand the decision back to the Planning Commission since the halfway house structure no longer exists. Because of the public outcry against the first permit application, the Assembly felt forming a task force, comprised of local citizens, may alleviate concerns and gather public acceptance. After six months of reading, research, site visits, and meetings, the task force presented the report to the Assembly on April 8, 1997. The task force's main points were: MAINTAIN LOCAL CONTROL: Utilizing agovernment-to-government process, the task force preferred this option for siting a halfway house. The local government can provide to the Department of Corrections (DOC) either a parcel of land for constructing a facility or an existing structure. DOC can then issue and RFP to halfway house providers with the site pre-identified. LIMIT HALFWAY HOUSE SIZE: Through research and conversation with other local governments, the task force learned that if the conditional use permit does not specify the exact number of beds, the DOC and halfway house operator find ways to increase the number of beds at a facility. The group also felt that restrictions should be placed on the number of halfway houses in any given community. SEEK BOROUGH INVOLVEMENT: The Kenai Peninsula Borough needs to be directly involved in the selection of the Community Advisory Council members. In the report the task force recommended specific 8 wording changes to the borough ordinance, recommended ten sites for the Assembly to consider for siting a halfway house, developed site selection criteria and offered some recommendations to DOC for existing and proposed policies. In classic government fashion, while the task force was compiling recommendations and submitting a report which takes into consideration local concerns, the legislature has included language in the budget which would preclude government to government contracts for halfway houses. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the task force report call the borough at (907) 262-4441 ext 260. Planning Official Development Report by: "~ Elizabeth Benson, AICP Prfessional Development Officer Spring, 1997 cooperation with the Department of Community and Regional Affairs, during the Alaska Municipal League conference in November 1997. Please feel to contact Elizabeth Benson at 274-2000 for more information. Professional Development Report by: Elizabeth Benson, AICP Professional Development Officer Thanks to all of you for your support in electing me to the Professional Development Office (AKA "PDO") position for the Chapter. I hope to take advantage of the "economies of scale" offered by my current role as planning official development officer. However, I must say that the abbreviations for the two offices (PODO and PDO) can make for some amusing conversations with fellow planners and planning commissioners. For now, I want to focus on the principles of professional development and be your point of contact for training and continuing education opportunities. This will become increasingly important as the AICP program comes under fire to require continuing education of its members. The AICP commission is working hazd to design the continuing education program right now so if you have ideas, please forwazd them to me. In the meantime, I believe we can tap into the numerous training efforts offered locally to keep our skills sharp. I am going to rely on you, the membership, to a certain extent to keep me apprised of the various training opportunities. So call, fax, or a-mail me any information you have from your community or agency regarding training that might be appropriate for practicing planners. Your can reach me at 274-2000 (phone), 274-2022 (fax), or "ebenson@hdrinc.com." 1 look forwazd to hearing from you. Alaska has received a "peer-to-peer" grant from the APA Planning Official Development Executive Committee to support our training program. The grant provides the seed money to the Chapter to bring Micheal Chandler, University of Virginia Tech, Cooperative Extension, to Alaska next fall for our annual conference. Michael has developed and extensive training program for commissioners in his home state; in fact, he has developed a Planning Commission Training Program whereby Planning Commission Training Program whereby commissioners actually receive certification based on an extensive 10-week training program. I became familiar with Michael' effort several years ago and have had occasion to contact him for ideas about the Alaska program. It is truly serendipity that the grant came at a time when the Chapter has been contemplating offering a more extensive and comprehensive training program to commissioners. We look forwazd to his visit and the training sessions he will offer. Stay tuned for more infonmation in the next newsletter. The tentative plan is to offer cone-day training program, in 9 New GIS Software for Land Use Planning By Robert W. Marriott, Jr. A new product for planners to make use of GIS data is on the market and planners need to know about it because it can significantly improve our effectiveness. Most planners know that a well done GIS system will provide better maps than you have ever had before and it will put them in the hands of many users via computer networks. If done properly it cal allow electronic processing of development applications, faster, more accurate reviews, better presentations and more informed discussion of planning issues. The -What if? PSS process is different from the abilities developed as a part of real working GIS systems. It's more like what planners thought the computer would someday be able to do; a McHazg type of analysis in real time, on a computer operated by planners who aze not computer experts. A GIS system is a commitment to a series of investment decisions on equipment, training, and contracts for the development of data bases. The real public test is in the delivery of useable products, things that you can do with GIS that you could not have done before. The What if? PSS package takes basic GIS data files from most systems, asks a series of questions about the importance of vazious planning factors in the area being considered, asks a second series of questions about the types of growth that are anticipated and shows what that growth will look like in plans, charts, and statistical tables. It is possible to walk a citizens group through this exercise and to vary the values or levels of growth and see the difference in a resulting land use plan. The strengths of the system aze that it can be used by people with minimal computer skills, it can be used with most GIS data files, it doesn't take hours of computer time to run, and it gives you results that are both graphic and numerical. A vital consideration is that this product is cheap, Spring, 1997 especially when contrasted with the time and effort that went into building the data files in the first place. If your office has a few basic layers of land use and environmental characteristics this tiny investment in testing growth scenarios should be a very easy decision to make. This product is the result of a combined effort of a GIS applications firm (Data Chromatics, Inc.), a GIS expert (Dr. Richard Klosterman), and a planning/urban design firm (LDR International, Inc.).

President's Message by: Jon Issacs, President, AICP ELECTION RESULTS AND BOARD CHANGES The result of the APA boazd election are in...congratulations to Lisa Pazker, who succeeds Dave Dengel as Southcentral Region Vice President. Lisa is Planning Director of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and a long time Alaska resident. The APA boazd members look forwazd to working with her. Many thanks to Dave Dengel for his assistance as regional vice president; however, you aze not off the hook for use of your talents, and we know where you live. We have a list of Planning Commissioner names for selection for the APA Board representative, and will be making a choice next month. People who serve on planning commissions do the real community planning, putting in many long hard hours working on planning issues in their communities. I hope the Planning Commissioner representative brings additional perspective in what planning commissioners and communities need in planning support, and ideas on how the Alaska Chapter of 10 APA can help. In addition to her Planning Commission Training duties, Liz Benson is taking over for Marvin Thomason as Professional Development Officer. While Marvin was not always visible in his contributions, he has put in time and dedication in helping people with getting materials for the AICP exam, and maintaining a modest library of publications for APA members. I would like to thank Marvin for his dedication and effort as PDO for the Alaska Chapter. NATIONAL APA CONFERENCE The National APA conference was held in San Diego during Apri14-10. Somewhere between I S and 20 Alaskans attended the San Diego conference, covering a geographic spread from Barrow to Ketchikan (I would guess the best percentage of any states total membership...) In my opinion, the technical sessions were not quite as good as last year, although sessions on strategic planning, economic redevelopment, Native American planning, and military base re-use were helpful. Those of us who attended should compare notes on valuable sessions, and the board can order selected session cassette tapes for our APA library. APA leadership meetings took the first two days and provided an opportunity for states to compare notes and give some feedback to APA national staff. APA is in the process of setting operational priorities, and has developed a "growing smart" initiative to help people understand the values of planning. APA must balance meeting urban metropolitan and rural community needs, and input from the state APA chapters can increase the utility of APA efforts. The chapter officer exchanges also gave states an opportunity to share ideas and solutions to problems, and Liz Benson also picked up additional grand funds for the chapter. During the conference, a group of Alaskans got together for a lunch meeting and talked over ideas for our chapter priorities (see next item...). Avery legitimate question was asked - "why join the Alaska or National Chapters; what do we get out of Spring, 1997 it besides newsletters?" PLANNING WEB SITES: EXISTING AND POTENTIAL Increasing chapter communication capability between APA members beyond our quarterly newsletters has always been a challenge. Board members use E-mail on legislative issues, but we need E-mail addresses from the chapter membership at large. Internet web sites offer the best potential for consistent communication and information exchange The APA national organization has a web site whose address is available in the APA Journal. After seeing the strategic planning discussion in the last newsletter, Nelda Warkinten of the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs contracted me about APA assisting DCRA with t heir plans to set up a planning web site in Alaska. DCRA has put extensive thought into Alaska planning information and resources on the Web, and has graciously offered to let APA have use of a site in exchange for assisting them with design and setup. Board members are very supportive of the idea, and we will be working with Nelda and DCRA on the next steps to implementation. STRATEGIC PLAN PART 2 In the last newsletter, I summarized the output of our November strategy session. Several of the APA board and chapter members at the conference took a lunch opportunity to focus on ideas for chapter priorities. We picked five areas: PLANNING COMMISSION TRAINING -this is something we do now and do well. However, the demand for training is increasing and we need to find different ways of training in community (compared to conference) settings. We will be exploring video tape, Microsoft Powerpoint, and other foams of improving training. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 11 /CONTINUING EDUCATION -this is important in increasing our motivation and effectiveness as individual planners, and is becoming and increasing requirement in the profession. We need to find a way to make more material and events accessible to our members. Liz Benson will be talking with the University of Alaska about opportunities for collaboration, we will be obtaining selected APA conference tapes for member loan out, and looking at giving credits at seminars, conferences and classes offered in Alaska. Other ideas are welcome. MEMBERSHIP EXPANSION -more members mean more influence and more people and financial resources. The Board has discussed a single Alaska membership for a Planning Commission, outreach to agency staff, and UA student outreach, and will be pursuing these ideas this year. We also need to make sure members feel they are getting value out of membership (see above). LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES -tracking, influencing, and sponsoring legislation is crucial to sound planning and community growth. Scott Williams improved our tracking and communication on bills this year, we still need better member outreach and involvement, and are looking for additional volunteers. COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENTS -getting more useful information to our members on a more frequent basis is still one of our biggest challenges (as one of our members asked..."tell me again why I should be a member of APA?"). E-mail (WE NEED MEMBER'S E-MAIL ADDRESSES!!!), Web sites, and other measure will be explored to get more information out to members, and we are trying to figure out how to best establish an APA library. Spring,199T That's it, I'm exhausted...however, part of this APA Alaska gig is feedback. As members, please give us (i.e., Board members) your ideas and suggestions. And if they are good enough, we will draft you for implementation assistance...

Steve Liberty and Mary Ann Alfano __~..~~~,~ Conditional Use Permit/Coffee House at Lot 39A, 604 Peterson Way - Planning & Zoning Commission Discussion. It was noted, Alfano and Liberty were not present. It was also noted, the Planning & Zoning Commission referred the matter to the Historic District Board for comments. The Board, during its Monday meeting, recommended approval (with stipulations) and referred it back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. The matter will be discussed again at the June 25 P&Z meeting. Ross noted, he met with Alfano and Liberty and they requested to be placed on the agenda. They also stated, they may or may not attend. Mayor Williams stated the matter would be discussed during the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting report at Item D-6. ITEM C: PIIBLIC HEARINt3S C-1.

MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to amend Ordinance no. 1746-97 by replacing it with Substitute Ordinance No. 1746-97. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. City Manager Ross explained the original ordinance was based on the engineer's projections. The substitute ordinance is based on the actual bids received. There was a substantial savings after the bid. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 18, 1997 PAGE 15 VOTE: There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported the minutes of the June il, 1997 Commission meeting were included in the packet. He reviewed actions taken by the Commission. Smalley reported 6A (Conditional Use Permit Application/Coffee House) was postponed in order for the matter to go to the Historic District Board (HDB) for review. He added, Ms. Gray, representing the Russian Orthodox Church, handed out a document at the meeting which stated their reasons for objections. In the Commission discussions, they didn't seem to be in objection to the development. Many verbally supported the application and thought it would be a nice addition to the area, but felt it should have been reviewed by the HDB. However, the Code states if a project doesn't require a building permit and is a conditional use permit, it doesn't have to go to the Board for review. The Commission forwarded it to the Board for review in their advisory capacity. Smalley, added, the Board met on Monday, however, he did not know what their recommendation was. The matter would be before the Commission again at their next meeting. Smalley continued, the applicants were going to come before council to explain their side of the matter and what they perceived taking place. However, council wouldn't have been able to take any action. Smalley noted, there were letters submitted both supporting and objecting to the application. Smalley continued, saying he spoke to the Commission and told them he felt the code was very clear and who had what authority. Other matters the Commission considered were a variance permit in Woodland Subdivision (passed); a resolution recommending amendments to the Land Use Table (passed); Home Occupation Permit (passed, based on parking issues which were discussed); and the landscape site plan for the EDD addition (approved). Smalley added, the Commission discussed what was landscaping and found the Code to be clear: If a plan meets the Code, it should be approved. If there is dissatisfaction with the Code definition/requirements, a change needs to be made. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 18, 1997 PAGE 22 property. She indicated council members would be receiving invitations to their groundbreaking festivities. Devito reported their next board meeting would be held on June 26. Their revolving loan committee just approved two additional loans and were again out of money in that program due to its popularity. To date they helped 16 businesses on the Peninsula. Devito added, EDD was continuing their search for a chief executive officer. J-2. Council Bookey - Bookey asked if there would be something done to the elevation at the bottom of the new stairs on the bluff (Forest Drive to beach) or leave the wooden platform there. Kornelis answered, they would be adding some sand and gravel. Swarner - (a) Swarner stated she was concerned about the coffee house situation in regard to customer service. She asked, when a person goes to city hall to apply for a permit, were they given a printed list of requirements and a time frame in which the information needed to be returned to the city, or were they given verbal direction from several people. She added, this business could have already been opened for the tourist season and it sounded as though they had more hoops to step through than they expected. Ross answered, administration gave the applicants the Code requirements for the permit. It was anticipated that would be all they would be required to do. The influences that intervened could have confused them, but they were not due to city personnel. Swarner suggested some thought be given to permit processing during their goals and objectives discussions. Council should consider how those processes could be made easier in order to help small businesses begin. Ross stated he concurred. He added, he had visited with the parties and they did not describe their contact with city hall as a hindrance in the matter. (b) Tent Campinq - Swarner asked if there had been much use of the tent camping area and if a larger sign would be placed. Parks & Recreation Director Frates answered, the usage has been KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 18, 1997 PAGE 23 moderate and they have collected about $90. He added, a bigger sign would be placed in the near future. (c) Nood Sales - Swarner asked Police Chief Morris if the sale of cut wood in front of Key Bank was legal. Morris stated he would investigate the matter. (d) Non-Permitted Signs - Swarner noted she had received a call from a constituent who wanted to know if they should contact the state in regard to non-permitted signs and goods which are placed on the state right-of-way in front of Alaska Ivory. Kornelis answered, if it was in the state right-of-way, they would need to contact the state. Kornelis stated he would contact DOT and inform them of the matter. Moore - No report. Measles - No report. Bannock - Bannock referred to the discussion in regard to the coffee house application for a conditional use permit. He stated he read the minutes of the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. He asked if the Clerk or council remembered discussions when the Historic District Board was formed. He remembered concerns, as did the Planning & Zoning Commission members, that having the Board would place another level of government hoops to be jumped through. He remembered that when a situation came up that would require a determination from the Historic District Board (HDB), if it fit into the calendar, it would go through the HDB, but it was not to be kicked back to them from P&Z. He asked if anyone else remembered that discussion. Bookey stated he remembered the same thing. He continued, it was not to become a deterent and slow business and projects down, but it was strictly an advisory program from the beginning. Bookey added, he had a real problem with the Board's meetings being held at 5:30 p.m. Bookey stated, he would have attended the meeting, but it was impossible for him to do it at that time of the day. He stated he would like to bring the Board's meetings back to 7:00 p.m. whether the members can make it at that time or not as the meeting time shouldn't be set to make it beneficial to the Board members. It is a public meeting and the time should be set to best meet the needs of the public. KENAI CITY COUNCIL JUNE 18, 1997 PAGE 24 MOTION: MEETING MINUTES Councilman Bookey MOVED to set the Historic District Board's monthly meetings at 7:00 p.m. and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objecitons. SO ORDERED. Clerk Freas was requested to write to the Board members and inform them of the council's wishes for matters of public input to have the meeting time returned to 7:00 p.m. Bannock returned to the former discussion. He continued, in the TSH zone portion of the code, it refers to the "Planning Department." He asked who it was at city hall who would be the contact for the Planning Department. Attorney Graves answered, Marilyn Kebschull was who people were directed to initially and who begins the process. Graves continued, in this situation, the Conditional Use Permit application was sent to Planning & Zoning. Kebschull did notify HDB as a matter of courtesy. The reason the matter was not sent to HDB was because of the reason they indicated, i.e. they did not feel it appropriate to delay the process unduly as council had made it a policy matter that matters be expedited as quickly as possible. That was why Kebschull handled the matter the way she did. She spoke with both he and City Manager Ross and it was a joint decision to handle it in that manner. Bannock stated that was exactly what he wanted to hear. He added, Councilman Smalley showed him a memorandum from Graves to the P&Z Commission in regard to that. Bannock continued, Planning & Zoning messed up and messed up bad because they didn't follow the rules. Because of that, there was now a screw-up that was requiring a back-and-forth action on the matter. He added, he tries not to pick on volunteer boards, but he felt this was a big error and he wanted to send a strong message to the Commission that this cannot happen again. Smalley - (a) Smalley reported he would not be attending the July PZ meetings and Councilman Bannock would attend in his place. (b) Smalley noted there was a Bed & Breakfast sign leaning on the City of Kenai sign on the Kalifornsky Beach Road side of the Bridge Access Road. Ross stated, the State would be contacted as the property was not in the city, but was State right of way.

To be a Certified Local Government, and to become a partnarin the state/federal historic preservation program, the .City of Kenai had to adopt a local historic preservation ordinance that established a Board whose duties .include local project review. The intent of the Certified Local Government program is for historicpreservation commissions to review all Local projects that will potentially impact. historic resources within their boundaries. As you know, Kenai's ordinance S85-10/20/93.14.20105 established s review board whose duties include regulating development and reviewing proposed building permit applications within the Townsite Historic zone. This ordinance also. specifies the development criteria for the historic zone that encourages compatible historic use and discourages uses that will violate historic qualities. Clearly, the intent of this ordinance is to enable the Board to consider potential impacts to historic properties within the designated zone and to provide advice to be considered in the city's decision making process. £TU printed rn recycled F~~,~a~ b y ~. ~'~. ~~• i .~ Page 2 ;, John Williams The Board is a critical element of your public review process because it provides a representation of the community that values the integrity of Kenai's historic district. It is the Board's responsibility to question whether a project is compatable with the historic church and district, to consider if the development is appropriate to the zoning designation, and how such development will impact Kenai's heritage and tourism goals. The benefits of Kenai's Certified local Government status have included the receipt of two historic preservation grants. Your. board has successfully overseen a grant that surveyed the historic townsite .and is in the process of creating interpretive signs for the historic district. I hope that the City of Kenai will continue to value and :support the Board's role in the community.. I encourage the City of Kenai to se® that the Board has input on projects that will significantly impact the historic townsite; Sincerely, , ~ udith E.
