MEMO: TO: City Council FROM: Rick Koch DATE: December 2, 2009 SUBJECT: North & South Shore Beach Management and Off -Road Vehicle Operations The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit for your review and discussion information regarding the two above referenced subjects. North & South Shore Beach Management North Shore - This past summer the administration modified the previous use permitted uses on the North Shore. Attached is a map (Exhibit A) identified as "North Shore Proposed Beach Management Plan. ".This is consistent with the interim management plan which was in effect this past summer. We have had a very positive response from residents along the bluff on Toyon Drive and Administration recommends this management plan remain in- place. There was discussion and an.ordinance introduced to lowerthe speed limit to 10 miles per hour for all motorized vehicles on the portion of the North Beach depicted as cross /hatched areas on the proposed management plan. There is already a code requirement that provides a maximum speed limit of 10 miles per hour (mph) for motorized vehicles when "....in close proximity to other persons" (KMC 13.40.040). A speed of 10 mph when no other persons are in close proximity is simply too slow. Trucks hauling fish from setnet sites would have difficulty navigating in soft sand. It would take a vehicle 9 minutes to travel the 1 -1/2 miles in the proposed 10 mph zone. I believe the real issue is noise, not speed, and ratherthan creating a large volume of individuals who violate a very.slow speed limit, we could modify the code to include specific language providing limitations on the volume of noise caused by motorized vehicles. 1992 South Shore— Administration has not received complaints regarding the allowed uses on the South Shore, rather than protection of the dunes is an . issue and that is being addressed. Therefore, we recommend no changes to the present management of the South Shore. off- Road'Vehicle Operations ' :;Attached please find thafollowing: 1. Memo, Sandahl to Koch dated December 1; 2009 (Exhibit B) 2. Memo, Sandahl to Koch dated Mayl, 2009 (Exhibit C) The number ofcomplaints we receive regarding . snowmobile use is relatively small. The number of complaints we receive about ATV's is greater. The specific data is included in the attachments. Many residents in the City enjoy being able.to responsibly operate a snowmachine and /orATV from their homes. I recommend we discuss the code changes Chief Sandahl has suggested and undertake an effort to provide the public with information so they understand the limitations on snowmachine and ATV use. We should also provide an increased level of enforcement, when and where appropriate. will miss .� iINN °�� O� ♦♦♦O\ , ■ 1 ❖.•••Ii ♦111' ♦..11 ■ o 3 $ 0 0 Q oa IZ 5 m q N Y 60.JC N U 6 i Z 2 N 01 �:NCj4 EXHIBIT--- A_ pap—J —ot 1 0 ILE . ❖,000 .....

This week I worked from Wednesday the 29th through today, June 1st, and did not witness a single ATV on either beach. Just wanted to touch base and give you a quick report. Dylon Kathleen Martin DBA KEE Construction, LLC PO Box 521 Cooper Landing, AK 99572 Phone & Fax (907)595 -1632 May 28, 2013 To: Kenai City Council Kenai City Hall City Clerk's Office 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 Dear City Council Members, RECEIVED 3 G 2013 Kenai City Clerk's Office Hello. On June 5, 2013 our preliminary plat for KEE's Tern Subdivision will be brought before you. Rick Koch, City Manager, conferred with the City Attorney and provided us with the following City Code provisions that address road construction standards: KMC 14.10.070 Subdivision Design Standards; KMC 14.10.080 Minimum Improvements required; KMC 14.20.320 Definitions; KMC 18.10.020 Street Building Permits; KMC 18.10.030 Street Improvements; KMC 18.10.040 Street Drainage; KMC 18.10.050 Curb Cuts and Driveways; and there are also provisions in KMC 18.20 Excavations in City Streets by Contractors or Utility Companies, that apply to excavation. I went to the City of Kenai's website & printed them off so that we could use them as a guideline as we go through this process of getting our plat approved by the City and go through the construction phases of our development. As you are probably aware, these codes are quite old and in need of upgrading to bring them up to industry standards. The City of Kenai needs to develop a more comprehensive development code that provides for Operation and maintenance, Safety, and balances that with reasonable and necessary cost that would do more to attract developers. The "American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials" (AASHTO) design manual entitled "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Street" is the Industry Standard for design and that which the Kenai Peninsula Borough closely follows. The City of Kenai code provides pretty limited guidance and does not address variable conditions very well, if at all... as an example: City of Kenai Code requires(rega rd less of development) a 42 inch NFS section, with a 30 foot graded surface , 2 foot ditches with 6 inch graded gravel surfacing within 12 inches plus or minus of property line and that it be designed to drain ...period. It also refers to concrete sidewalks that conflict with the gravel road and ditch requirement. Page 1 of 3 2. It does not address safety and cost efficiency at all that is driven by lot density, traffic volume, design speed, sight distance, maximum grades, super elevations, or clear zones. We asked our engineer, Wince Corthell Bryson, what standards they use in road design and were provided the following information: The Borough has addressed most of the above by establishing road categories based on Lot Dens Ry with minimum requirements as follows Travel Way (total) Category Lot Density Gravel Width (total) Paved width a Shoulders Clear ZOnes Min Radius Max Grade 1 10 20' 20' 24' 15' 300 ' 12% II 1020 22' 20' 24' 15' 2' III it -So 24' 22' 11 15' 30 -40 IV > 50 26' 24' 28' 15' 300' 12% For the remaining standards we use AASHTO The AASHTO Standards set design criteria by Design speed, Average Dairy Traffic(AM) and the type of terrain in the area as follows for level to moderate terrain such as around here. AM Designspeed Travel Way (total) Shoulders Crown Sight Distances Max Grades Super Elevation Clear Zone <50 2D -30 mph 113' 2' 1.5 -3% 125 -200' 7 -11% 4% 1D' 50.250 30 20' 2' 20' 200' 7 -10% 4% 10' 250 -400 30 -40 20' 2' 1.5 -3% 200 -300' 7 -9% 4% 10' 2' 1.5 -3% 200' -300' 7 -9% 4% Sight distance is controlled by horizontal and vertical curve parameters For the remaining standards we use AASHTO. The AASHTO Standards set design criteria by Design Speed, Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and the type of terrain in the area as follows for level to moderate terrain such as around here. ACT Design Speed Travel way (total) Shoulders Crown Sight Distances Max Grades Super Elevation Clear Zone <50 20 -30 mph SS' 2' 1.5 -3% 125' -200' 7 -11% 4% 10' 50 -250 30 20' 2' 200' 7 -10% 4% 1 10' 250 -400 30 -40 mph 20' 2' 1.5 -3% 200' -300' 7 -9% 4% 10' Sight distance is controlled by horizontal and vertical curve parameters AASHTO goes on to describe other considerations such as, on street parking in urban setting(s) where lot size does not provide for a lot of on lot parking, as well as lesser horizontal and increased vertical alignments in low volume and low speed areas. It also addresses rural agricultural areas and commercial areas that might require wider sections for machinery and truck traffic. For instance, under Kenai Peninsula Borough and AASHTO standards, your subdivision streets could be paved 20 feet wide with 2 foot shoulders for a total width of 24 feet finished; gravel sub base would be 26 foot wide. The City of Kenai really needs to address street improvements that fit a range of applications such as the Borough and AASHTO does; that way developers could match a reasonable amount of cost to meet required safety and maintenance considerations. Originally, it was suggested /recommended by the City that we construct roads to Municipality of Anchorage Standard Specifications (MASS 2009). We objected to this because MASS 2009 was never formally adopted by the City of Kenai, and has codes specific to Municipality of Anchorage communities (not Kenai Peninsula Borough communities). The Municipality of Anchorage has a higher density of people /traffic, water, sewer, electricity and natural gas are more readily available, and a higher rate of existing roads are paved that might be used to access a new development within their municipality. In short, they don't reflect communities or conditions within our Borough. It has been our intention, and we still desire, to build the roads in KEE'S Tern Subdivision to Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) Standards. Their applicable codes are more in line with current industry standards (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) design manual entitled "A Policy on Geometric Page 2 of 3 Design of Highways and Street ") and were written /designed to regulate areas within its confines, when necessary to mention specific regulation(s) to certain communities it does, and addresses conditions and safety within their borders. I am therefore requesting a waiver from City of Kenai Code requirements for road construction. I request to construct roads within KEE's Tern Subdivision to applicable Kenai Peninsula Borough Code Standards The Water waiver for KEE's Tern Subdivision is pretty easy to justify as the cost per lot due to their frontage would be about $20,000.00 - $25,000.00 per lot. Reducing the lot size to reduce the water cost would create too high a concentration of on lot septic systems that would very likely not pass the ADEC Modeling limits on Nitrates build up in the groundwater. I thank you for your time and careful consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Kathleen A.

On November 21, 2012, City Council held a public hearing on Ordinance No. 2656- 2012. The Ordinance proposes an amendment to Title 3 to remove up to 12 chicken hens from the definition of livestock within the City. The ordinance also relaxes setbacks for containment structures for chicken hens. In effect, the ordinance would provide for chicken hens (up to 12) in any zone in the City regardless of lot size. During the public hearing, the Council heard testimony from seven (7) individuals. The majority of individuals supported the amendment. After the public hearing, the Council postponed action and referred the amendment to the Planning & Zoning Commission for review and for public hearing. The Planning & Zoning Commission held two work sessions on the proposed amendment (12/12/12 and 1/9/13). At the work session on December 12, 2012, the Commission received a copy of the information included in the November 21St Council packet and unapproved minutes from that meeting and additional information to assist with their review of the proposed ordinance. A copy of the packet material is attached. The purpose of the first work session was to provide information and to ask the Commission to review the information and be prepared to discuss the proposed ordinance at a work session on January 9, 2013. At the January 9th work session, the Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance, the existing ordinance, and heard testimony from the public. A copy of the work session notes is attached. At the regular meeting after the work session, the Commission considered the ordinance. Commission Bryson made a motion to recommend Council Page 11 of 234 Memo re: Ordinance No. 2656 -2012 January 25, 2013 Page 2 approve Ordinance No. 2656 -2012. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Peterson. The Commission heard public testimony from four (4) individuals. Three of the four individuals addressing the Commission had concerns with the ordinance. After hearing public testimony, Commissioner Bryson made a motion to amend section 3.10.070(g) of the ordinance to require 15 -foot setbacks. The amendment passed. The main motion on the ordinance failed with all Commissioners voting No. Commissioner Knackstedt made a motion to request Council direct staff to prepare an alternate ordinance (see the attached minutes) for consideration. That motion failed for lack of a second. Administration did not believe that the action taken by the Commission at the January 9`" meeting constituted a recommendation to Council and placed the item on the Commission's January 23`d agenda. At the January 23`d meeting, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to Council that KMC 3.10.070 remain as codified. Attachments: 1.

Commissioner Knackstedt discussed his email recommendations: • Draft a whole new section for poultry. This provides the Commission the opportunity to review and discuss all types of birds included in the recommendation, and take out, or expand on each type of "fowl" so that this was not back before them at some point in the future. Look at setback requirements, lot size Building Permits Kebschull noted structures over 120' would need to meet building/fire codes and setbacks for the zones. Structures under 120' do not require a building permit and can be up to 3' from property line. However, if a structure is less than 120' and has electric, plumbing, etc. a building permit would be required and the structure would have to meet the zone setbacks. Council Member Boyle spoke to the Commission about his intent for the ordinance, was trying to make it simple for residents to have chickens for egg laying purposes only, not for meat. He was trying not to make it a process. Commissioner Amess asked if the City could be held liable if there was any type of accident, fire etc. * Public comment limited to three (3) minutes per speaker; thirty (30) minutes aggregated.

Kristine Schmidt requested the Commission move the proposed ordinance forward to Council. She felt that the ordinance should be passed in a timely manner so people can prepare for the upcoming summer season. Kim Borcligrevink, 202 Sterling Ct., Kenai, stated he opposes the chicken ordinance believing chickens will be a bear attractant.

On November 21, 2012, City Council held a public hearing on Ordinance No. 2656- 2012. The Ordinance proposes an amendment to Title 3 to remove up to 12 chicken hens from the definition of livestock within the City. The ordinance also relaxes setbacks for containment structures for chicken hens. In effect, the ordinance would provide for chicken hens (up to 12) in any zone in the City regardless of lot size. During the public hearing, the Council heard testimony from seven (7) individuals. The majority of individuals supported the amendment. After the public hearing, the Council postponed action and referred the amendment to the Commission for review and for public hearing. Attached to this memo are the materials provided in the November 21st Council packet and a copy of the draft Council minutes. A copy of Kenai Municipal Code 3.10.070 is also attached. KMC 3.10.070(h) provides a provision to seek relief for properties that can't meet the requirements of the code by applying for a Conditional Use Permit. Since the code was amended in 2000 to include the regulation of livestock in the City, the City has not received any requests for Conditional Use Permits, City Council has asked that the Commission consider the proposed amendment and provide recommendations to Council for Council's consideration at their March 6, 2013 meeting. To meet public hearing advertisement requirements, the hearing must be set at your February 13th meeting for a public hearing on February 27th Page 21 of 234 V lla9e with a Past with a Iii re m 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611 -7794 htpd Telephone: 907 - 283 -7535 / FAX: 907- 283 -3014 1'I�II KENAI, ALASKA 1991 \ZX MEMOIR TO: City Council FROM: Rick Koch, City Manager DATE: November 15, 2012 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2656 -2012, Amendment to KMC 3.10.070 The purpose of this correspondence is to provide information regarding the above referenced proposed ordinance. Administration received questions from Councilors regarding this ordinance and was asked to be prepared to speak at the November 21, 2012 Council meeting. The following are answers to the questions we have received: How many applications for a conditional use permit for chickens have been filed in recent history? In the past five years there have been no applications for a conditional use permit to house chickens. It is important to note that lots of 40,000 square feet and larger are allowed to house livestock given conditions provided in code. There are a number of properties 40,000 square feet and larger that have chickens without conflict to surrounding properties. Does the Administration believe that allowing up to 12 chickens on any property within the City will negatively impact the City's ongoing negative- bear- interaction mitigation measures? To answer this question requires some degree of speculation covering a wide -range of possibilities. The short answer is "it depends." I believe that in some instances having up to 12 chickens on any property will negatively impact the City's ongoing negative- bear - interaction mitigation measures, I believe this is best illustrated by citing potential examples. Example Number One: A property owner has 12 chickens on a lot less than 40,000 square feet in subdivisions either north or south of the Spur Highway, between Marathon Road and Swires Road. The chicken coop and chicken yard is enclosed by only a four to six -foot high chicken wire fence. This is an area in which we have seen increased negative bear activity over the past five years and I would guess there could easily be a problem as a result of the chickens attracting bears. 15 = Page 22 of 234 Example Number Two: A property owner has four chickens on a 10,000 square foot lot located on 4 Avenue west of Forest Drive. The yard in which the chickens are kept has a six -foot high sight obscuring fence around the perimeter of the property and the chickens and coop are within a six -foot high chicken wire fence within the backyard. In this example, given the location, lack of history of negative -bear interactions, the small number of chickens, and the type a fencing around the property, there would not likely be a problem as a result of chickens attracting bears. Because there are so many variables in considering this question, Administration supports circumstances. the process that is already in place, the conditional use process which considers individual Are there any concerns from either law enforcement or animal control personnel? (Whether chicken and their associated paraphemalia being a bear attractant, neighborhood nuisance due to odors or sound, etc.)? Yes, there are concerns about each of these items. Again, it is difficult to be specific because each instance will be different, at a minimum the following criteria should be considered: 1. Specific location, 2. Lot size. 3. Comments from Neighbors 4. Type of enciosure(s). If the ordinance should be enacted, does the Administration desire to see amendments for the purposes of regulation? if so, what? Yes. The Administration is not prepared to offer amendments at this time. We are unaware of the scope of the problem that is the catalyst for introduction of the Ordinance so it is difficult to recommend a solution. Internally we have discussed the Ordinance, and the following are a few of the comments: 1. Identify the problem with the existing conditional use process. 2. Number of chickens should be less than twelve. 3. Minimum lot size should be 20,000 square feet. 4. Neighbors should have an opportunity to comment. 5. The number of chickens could be tied to lot size. 6. Property zoning should be a consideration. In summary, I believe it is important to note that there have been no applications for conditional use permits for housing chickens, nor has Administration been made aware of any problems with smaller -lot property owners in Kenai desiring to house chickens. If a propertyowner desired to house chickens, the City staff /Planning staff would assist them through the conditional use permit process. If Council desires to more fully consider this legislation, Administration suggests that the Ordinance be postponed and transmitted to the Planning and Zoning (P &Z) Commission so that a comprehensive discussion may be undertaken similar to the bee - keeping ordinance, and P &Z can provide recommendations and comments to Council.

Administration was not asked to collaborate on the amendment. My concerns relating to the proposed amendment are: • The public should be provided an opportunity to provide input into the proposed amendment. When the livestock ordinance was drafted, the Planning & Zoning Commission held multiple work sessions wherein public comments and concerns were heard. The Commission also received guidance from the Animal Control Officer since that department regulates and manages Title 3. To provide the opportunity for public participation, it is my recommendation that the Council ask the Planning & Zoning Department in collaboration with the Animal Control Officer to review the proposed amendment. • The proposed amendment under section KMC 3.10.070(g) provides setbacks for containment structures. Depending upon the type of structure, a building permit may be required. If a building permit is required, under KMC 14.24.010 setbacks for zones must be met. Is it the intent of this ordinance to provide an exception to the zoning ordinance? • Ordinance No 1864 -2000 which became effective on August 19, 2000 provides an avenue for individuals who cannot meet the standards in the ordinance to apply for a Conditional Use Permit. To my knowledge, no one has ever applied for a Conditional Use Permit. The existing ordinance was approved after an extensive review of existing conditions, lot sizes, types of livestock and with several meetings including a joint work session of the Council and Commission. The ordinance appears to be working effectively and provides an avenue for exceptions, i.e. the conditional use process. It is not clear what the motivation for this proposed change is; however, it is my recommendation, at a minimum, that administration be given an opportunity to review the proposed amendment and identify possible concerns. And that if Council decides to proceed with consideration of the amendment, that they provide an avenue for public input in the process by sending the ordinance to the Planning & Zoning Commission for review. 17 Page 24 of 234 THE STATE OfALASKA GOVERNOR SEAN PARNELL November 15, 2012 Mayor Pat Porter 210 Fidalgo Ave Kenai AK 99611 Dear Mayor Porter, Department of Fish and Game DIVISION OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION Soldotna 43961 Kalitornsky Beach Road, Suite B Soldotna, Alaska 99669$276 Main: 907.262.9368 Fax 907.262.4709 It has been brought to our attention that the Kenai City Council will soon take under their consideration a possible city ordinance revision that would allow chickens to be housed and maintained within Kenai residential neighborhoods. While the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) neither supports nor opposes such an ordinance change, by your request we'd like to offer City Council some insight and advice regarding the possibility of increased human/wildlife conflict issues that may arise from their doing so. The City of Kenai, due to its coastal location, immediate proximity to salmon producing rivers and streams and the adjacent 1.9 million acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, is frequented regularly by both brown and black bears. In 2004, ADFG responded to over 100 complaints from residents of the City of Kenai concerning nuisance bear activity. That number did not reflect calls made directly to the Kenai Police Department or State Troopers. Due to the high number of negative interactions taking place and the resulting public outcry, a collaborative community effort dubbed the Wildlife Conservation Community Program (WCCP) was initiated in 2005. The program was driven by private landowners, the City of Kenai, ADFG and other program partners with the express purpose of providing educational information and installing and maintaining bear - resistant garbage containers to help reduce the availability of a major human- caused bear attractant. The overall goals of this program were (and still are) to foster better stewardship of our wildlife resources, create safer neighborhoods for people and wildlife and to decrease the amount of State and municipal agency time spent responding to complaints concerning nuisance wildlife within the community. While there's still room for growth in the city's WCCP success (particularly in the area of non -bear resistant waste disposal storage methods currently used) the City of Kenai and its citizenry are to be applauded for being conservation - minded and forward thinking. During 2012, citizen complaints to the Soldotna office of ADFG regarding undesirable bear activity were at their lowest level in years. We believe this is due in large part to the ongoing efforts of community -based programs ( WCCP), efforts by the Borough to maintain bear resistant waster transfer sites as well as individual citizen and collaborative neighborhood mitigation efforts taking place around the Kenai Peninsula. Page 25 of 234 Mayor Pat Porter - 2 - 11/15/12 Aside from unsecured garbage, the keeping of unprotected, unsecured poultry and other livestock and feed is a major cause of many negative bear/human interactions in and around residentially developed areas here on the Kenai Peninsula. Quite often, bear predation on easily accessible poultry and feed within residential neighborhoods results in higher levels of site and human- generated food conditioning in those bears which may easily translate into unacceptably higher levels of human habituation. The results of this process can be equally unacceptable in terms of the increase in public safety concerns, less tolerance for bears in general and the overall costs of property damage and loss. Anchorage recently passed an ordinance that allowed the keeping of chickens within residential neighborhoods and there was a marked increase in bear activity around sites where chickens were kept in an unsecured manner. It is our understanding that the Anchorage City Council is reviewing the revised ordinance and may reconsider its position. In short, should the Kenai City Council approve this amendment to the livestock ordinance, we advise that they give careful consideration to all of the possible long -term consequences of doing so. To require a carefully constructed and well maintained electric fence system for each application is one alternative they might consider. We would be happy to provide further information to council on the efficacy of a well constructed fence system should they so desire. In the meantime, I've attached a couple of photos illustrating what can happen to an unsecured livestock holding facility. I hope this information helps you as you make a decision. Please feel free to give us a call for further information or assistance. Sincerely, Larry L.

Common bear attractants include: garbage left in open containers, bird feeders, dirty barbeques /accessories, dog food, and outdoor freezers. East Kenai, the Kenai River Bluff, and the Beaver Creek Bluff have higher concentrations of brown bears than the rest of the City. By eliminating bear attractants, residents are doing their part to ensure that bears stay focused on natural food sources. Per Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 9. 10.010 the City Manager has declared two areas within the Municipal boundaries as "Bear Problem Areas." VIP Subdivision and the area generally described as beginning at the eastern municipal boundary extending to a point at approximately mile 7 of the Kenai Spur Highway, this boundary also includes all residences on Beaver Loop Rd. from the Spur Highway to Cunningham Park. In a "Bear Problem Area" all carbatte containers must be City- approved bear - resistant containers. A list of City - approved bear- resistant containers is available at the City Manager's office and the City's official website at www.ci.kenai.ak.us. As an alternative to owning a bear resistant container, residents may store their garbage in a garage until transporting it to the landfill each week. "Bear Problem Area" declarations remain in effect indefinitely. If you do not have a bear resistant container, and you need assistance in removing garbage from outside your home, please contact the Kenai Parks Department at 283 -3692. Parks personnel will transport garbage to the transfer site for you. For additional information please contact the City Manager's office at (907)283 -8223.

The Motion passed four to three. In preparing this Substitute I consulted with the City Manager, Planning Department, Animal Control, Planning and Zoning Commissioner, Henry Knacksted, Council Member Bookey and Council Member Boyle.' I also attempted to incorporate comments made during the hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council that were consistent with the direction administration was directed to proceed with. In review of the existing Kennel Ordinance, I noted that there were numerous housekeeping changes that were warranted and in order to incorporate the keeping of chickens into the Kennel Ordinance, I determined it was clearer to repeal and reenact Chapter 13.5, Licensed Facilities, to incorporate housekeeping changes and chickens. I recommend due to the significant differences between the Substitute and original Ordinance that an additional public hearing be scheduled for the Substitute prior to any action taken by the Council on the Substitute. The following is a sectional analysis of changes reflected in Ordinance No. 2656 -2012 (Substitute): KMC 3.10.070 Livestock within the city limits. Instead of exempting 12 chicken hens from the definition of livestock as provided for in the original Ordinance, the Substitute leaves chicken hens in the definition of livestock and specifically provides that they can be kept as provided for in KMC Chapter 3.15, Licensed Facilities. Other notable changes include the reduction of side setback requirements for coops from 25 feet to 15 feet in subsection (f) and the addition of language at the end of subsection (h) that clarifies a conditional use permit cannot be used to avoid the requirement of obtaining a license to keep chickens. t Council Member Boyle was not in agreement with the result of the Substitute Ordinance at the time I discussed it with him. Page 54 of 234 Memo RE: Ordinance No. 2656 -2012 (Substitute) Chicken May 30, 2013 Page 2 of 3 KMC 3.15.010 License Required. This section is modified to add chickens to the licensing requirement for applicable properties and clarifies that a license can only be obtained for chicken hens. KMC 3.15.020 Kennel Licensing Procedure. This section is only modified to incorporate minor housekeeping changes. KMC 3.15.030 Kennel License Revocation. This section is only modified to incorporate minor housekeeping changes KMC 3.15.040 Standards for Operating Kennel Facility. This section was renumbered in order to move the Hearings- Appeals section (formerly 3.15.040) to the back of the chapter and otherwise incorporates only minor housekeeping changes. KMC 3.15.050 Chicken Licensing Procedure. This is a new code section requiring an application to keep chicken hens to be submitted to the Animal Control Office. It requires a license fee of $25.25 to keep chickens as compared to $102 for dog kennels. It requires the applicant to provide their name, address, and number of chickens, description of containment structure and a diagram. This section limits the granting of licenses to those who have not been convicted of neglecting an animal or animal cruelty similar to kennel license requirements and requires an inspection prior to issuance of a license. An expiration and renewal process is also incorporated similar to the kennel license requirements in addition to public notice requirements and the opportunity for a hearing. An applicant is required to allow inspections between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. upon receipt of a complaint regarding nuisance or health and safety. KMC 3.15.060 Standards for Keeping Chickens on Parcels Subject to Chicken Licensing Requirements. This new section of code requires a person keeping chickens to comply with all applicable City, Borough and State laws or regulations and any conditions imposed in the license. Adequate shelter, sanitation, care, feeding and containment is required. The license is limited in this section to the keeping of chickens for egg production. Subsection (g) provides a limitation on the number of chickens that can be kept based on lot size. It allows more chickens to be kept on larger parcels and less on smaller parcels; from a maximum of twelve to a minimum of four and no chickens on parcels smaller than 8,500 square feet. While there is no hard science behind these numbers, the intention is to allow a reasonable number of chickens to be kept on smaller parcels and balance that interest against the increased likely -hood of the affect keeping chickens may have on neighbors when there is less space available. Additionally, if there Page 55 of 234 Memo RE; Ordinance No. 2656 -2012 (Substitute) Chicken May 30, 2013 Page 3 of 3 was not a step down based on lot sizes, there could be a greater increase in density of chickens in areas with smaller lot sizes which may increase the likelihood of unwanted interaction with wild animals. Finally this section requires chickens to be kept in manner that does not constitute a nuisance for neighbors. KMC 3.15.070 Revocation of License to Keep Chickens. This new section of code states that if upon inspection it is determined that the chickens or associated structures constitute a health hazard, violate applicable laws or regulations or terms of the license or represent an unreasonable attractant to bears or other wild animals, the inspecting agency shall provide written notification of deficiencies and allow 15 days to cure. If the violation is not cured within 15 days a revocation proceeding may commence which requires a hearing. There is also an exception provided in this section that if in the judgment of the Animal Control Officer, a bear or other wild animal has become habituated to the location where the chickens are kept and continuing to keep chickens at the location presents an unreasonable risk to humans or animals, a proceeding to revoke the license may occur as soon as reasonably possible. KMC 3.15.080 Hearings- Appeals. This section of code was formally KMC 3.15.040. It provides for a person aggrieved from the granting, revocation, renewal, limiting, conditioning or denial of a license to appeal the decision pursuant to KMC 14.20.290, Appeals Board of Adjustment. KMC 3.05.100 Fees. This section is amended by adding chicken licenses to the fee provision of Title 3. Fee Schedule. Finally, the proposed Substitute Ordinance amends the City's fee schedule to add a fee for chicken licensing and makes other housekeeping changes regarding animal licensing fees to match the fee schedule to the applicable code sections. Your consideration is appreciated.

Ordinance 2703 -2013 appropriates grant funds associated with overtime worked by Police Department personnel in support of Alaska Highway Safety Office traffic safety programs. Overtime is worked periodically through the fiscal year during high traffic periods to reduce fatalities and injuries on Alaska's roadways. Ordinance 2703 -2013, as introduced, was for overtime worked during February and March 2013. Department personnel worked additional shift during this past Memorial Day Weekend that are eligible for reimbursement in the amount of $821.30. Amendment of Ordinance 2703 -2013 to include amounts from Memorial Day Weekend will avoid the time and delay of introducing an ordinance identical to Ordinance 2703- 2013 except differing dates of execution and differing amounts. This minor amendment is not a substantial change requiring an additional public hearing prior to adoption after amendment. KMC 1.15.070 Ordinance — Procedure in passing, permits introduction and passage of appropriating ordinances in the same meeting and allows such ordinances to be effective immediately. As such, I recommend the following amendments to Ordinance 2703 -2013: 1. The third WHEREAS should be amended to read, "actual AHSO overtime expenditures for traffic safety patrols totaled $1,333.75 from February through Memorial Day weekend ". 2. The amount of increase estimated revenues and police overtime expenditures should be amended to $1,333.75.

I will address two issues germane to the discussion regarding this ordinance; first, what is the need for this legislation, and second, what is the effect on City resources in enforcing an ordinance limiting the speed limit to 20 miles per hour on the North Beach. During the past year, the Kenai Police Department received eleven complaints relating to vehicle use on the North Beach. Ten of these complaints were from the same individual. As City Manager I would estimate that I received approximately two -dozen phone calls in which the caller complained about vehicle use on the North Beach. All of the calls I received were from the same individual who lodged ten of the eleven complaints with the Police Department. In the seven years I have served as City Manager I have not received a single complaint from an individual who said they were on the North Beach and felt endangered by a vehicle because of proximity or speed. Twenty miles per hour is the same limitation as provided for in school zones when children are present. Many of our citizens enjoy driving on the North Beach at a greater rate of speed than that limitation. If the issue is excessive speed while in proximity to other individuals on the beach there is already a provision in code that defines the allowance in that circumstance. KMC 13.40.040 stipulates a ten mile per hour speed limit when in close proximity of another person(s). If the issue is excessive noise, again there is already a provision in code, Page 64 of 234 KMC13.40.020(e), that provides for enforcement. Enforcement of a 20 mile per hour speed limit in an area that cannot be regularly patrolled by Police Officers is problematic. If a speed limit is placed on the North Beach and not actively enforced the City will be accused of not enforcing its ordinances. Given the nature of attempting to enforce a speed limit on the North Beach it would be necessary to maintain a presence on the beach by individuals trained in the use of radar. If the City chose to effectively enforce a speed limit from April 1st through September 30th on the North Beach it would require additional personnel and resources I estimate the cost of these to be $20,000 to $40,000, depending on hours of enforcement. Additionally, roughly one -half of the area shown in Appendix IV to this ordinance is already off - limits to motorized traffic and would be in conflict with KMC 13.30.080. Please find attached a memorandum from the Chief of Police on this issue. Thank you for your attention in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

KMC 13.40.040 specifically addresses speed limits of off -road vehicles and states the following: The speed limit shall be ten (10) mph while riding in a right -of -way of a residential or business area, a parking lot, or as authorized in KMC 13.40.020(c), or in close proximity of another person(s). In 2012, there were 11 off -road vehicle complaints relating to the North Beach. Ten (10) of these 11 complaints were made by the same complainant. Of these 10 complaints, none of them resulted in enforcement action because responding officers were unable to substantiate any violation; or they were unable to find the alleged violator; or they were simply unable to respond due to higher priorities. 2012 tied with 2010 for the lowest number of off -road vehicle complaints in the City since 2006. In 2012, the Kenai Police Department investigated 160 motor vehicle crashes. None of those crashes involved off -road vehicles on the North Beach. There was one minor accident in the North Beach parking area that was reported, but not investigated. This involved a vehicle backing into another vehicle during the dipnet fishery. TEOs are on the North Beach regularly from May to August, and I think that has helped deter off -road vehicle complaints. TEOs do not receive radar operator training, nor should they. Speed enforcement is more complex (as is the subsequent court testimony) than the violations that TEOs typically deal with. Police officers receive a minimum of three full days of training before they are able to start speed enforcement in the field. Page 66 of 234 In 2012, Kenai Police Officers handled 8,297 calls for service, a significant spike over preceding years. I do not consider the North Beach a speed problem area that needs additional attention from police officers; as I think it receives more than adequate attention from our TEOs throughout the summer. Without additional police officer resources, it would be unreasonable for the Police Department to divert any current patrol resources to speed enforcement for a posted speed limit on the North Beach. I feel the Kenai Police Department is able to adequately address off -road vehicle issues with how the KMC is currently written. Given the above information, the Police Dept. recommendation is to not amend the existing code.

At the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting of May 22, 2013, the Commission considered a request to waive the requirement for public water and sewer systems in the Subdivision. Administration transmitted a memorandum to the Commission recommending that the code requirements for water and sewer be waived. At the P & Z meeting the developer, during the comment period for the resolution to waive water and sewer, requested that the P & Z Commission also waive the City's code requirement for roadway standards, and instead allow the developer to build to "Borough Standards." The developer made the request directly to the Commission without any discussion with the Administration. Additionally, there was no formal proposal, or detailed alternative to be considered. The developer's consultant testified that there were many minimum standards of roadways that were of a lesser standard than what is required by the City and that the City should therefore allow for a lesser standard of construction. I testified before the Commission and respectfully suggested that they should not consider this undefined, verbal request that was coming before them without any notice, and without a detailed request from the developer with the benefit of administrative review. The Commission agreed with my request and asked the City Manager if it was possible Page 73 of 234 that the developer work with Administration to consider an alternative roadway design. Then, assuming the alternative design was acceptable to the Administration and the developer, could Administration take a request for a variance of the road design directly to the Council at the June 5th Council meeting without the road standard variance having to come back before the P & Z Commission? My short response was, "I'm not sure, but I believe that Council could probably consider this if they wanted to." 1 also told them that Council's decision could be to send it back to the Commission and request a report as required by KMC 14.10.090 Variations and exceptions. I received the attached Exhibit A) correspondence from the developer's consultant on the afternoon of May 28 h (correspondence is dated May 23rd). I reviewed the proposed road standard and discussed the matter with the Public Works Director. The standard, while probably meeting minimum standards for certain jurisdictions is not acceptable. It will result in increased maintenance costs, and if upgraded to a paved standard in the future, increased construction costs over the standard required in code, or alternatives deemed acceptable by the City. During my discussion with the consultant he informed me that while their proposed standard drawing identifies both paving and crushed aggregate base course it is not the developer's intent to install either of these items. The City responded to the developer's consultant the afternoon of May 28th by transmitting a marked -up version of the developer's proposed standard (Attachment B). The Administration's proposed changes to the developer's submittal was to increase the overall width of the section by two feet, and require the surfacing material to be a minimum of four inches of crushed aggregate base course. The effect of these changes is to provide adequate roadway surface for the future construction of two, twelve foot paved driving lanes, and to install four inches (4 ") of crushed aggregate base course to minimize maintenance of the non -paved roadway. I spoke with the developer's consultant during the late morning of May 29th. I informed him I had a deadline of that day to have materials in the packet for the June 5, 2013 Council meeting and that I needed to know by 2:30 PM if the developer agreed with the City's alternative standard. Further, I informed him if the developer /consultant did not respond there would not be a resolution in the packet addressing a variance for the road standard in Kee's Tern Subdivision, but that Administration would include an informational item to provide a status report to the Council. At this juncture there are three roadway standards that are acceptable to the Administration. They are described as follows: 1. Per KMC 18.10.030. All streets and public ways shall be graded to their full width, as required by the City Manager to the appropriate grade, and shall be surfaced to a minimum of thirty feet (30'), and all major streets shall be Page 74 of 234 surfaced to a minimum width of forty feet (40'). The cross section of construction shall contain non -frost susceptible material to a depth of forty - two inches (42 ") or down to sand, as required by the City Manager, from the grade approved by the City, then there shall be added non -frost susceptible material eighteen inches (18 ") of the normal surface grade of the adjacent lots; or as established by the City Manager, there shall be added thereon gravel approved by the City Manager for a depth of six inches (6 "), so the crown of the finished street shall be not less than twelve inches (12 ") from normal surface grade of the adjacent lots before compaction of the gravel. Such construction shall be subject to inspection and approval by the City Manager, and shall apply with all City standards for construction. (Exhibit C) 2. Alternative #1. A paved standard with two (2), twelve foot (12') driving lanes with one -foot (1) shoulders, over two inches (2 ") of crushed aggregate base course, over a minimum of thirty -six inches (36 ") of non -frost susceptible material as approved by the City Manager. (Exhibit D) 3. Alternative #2. The proposed standard submitted by the developer (Exhibit B) including modifications proposed by the City. A twenty -six foot (26') non - paved surface consisting of four inches (4 ") of crushed aggregate base course over six inches (6 ") of two inch minus ( -2 ") gravel sub -base, over thirty -two inches (32 ") of non -frost susceptible borrow, or non -frost susceptible native material. Absent an agreement between the Administration and the developer for a roadway standard in Kee's Tern Subdivision, and assuming the developer will come before Council at the June 5th meeting, requesting Council action on this issue, Administration recommends the following *: Council approve a variance of the roadway standards to include any of the three alternative designs acceptable to the Administration and described in this document. That Council does not consider any other alternative designs, other than those acceptable to the Administration, without requiring the developer to follow the process for provided for in code, KMC 14.10.090 * The City Clerk and /or City Attorney should provide guidance about whether Council action on this issue meets public notice requirements. Without getting into a long philosophical discussion on road standards, and there are an almost limitless number of standards, it's important to recognize the City, within reason, has the ability to set its own standards, and the City has done that in Chapter 18.10 of the Kenai Municipal Code. Could the code provide more detailed guidance, yes, but the code requirements as written, do not result in the construction of sub - standard, or gold - plated roadways. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has adopted different standards than the City of Kenai, for residential subdivisions some of the Borough standards result in a roadway of lesser quality being constructed. This doesn't mean they are substandard, Page 75 of 234 only that they meet a lower standard. Without researching the standards employed by Municipalities and Boroughs throughout the State I am aware that the standards for residential roadway construction employed by the Municipality of Anchorage, Matanuska Susitna Borough, and the City of Palmer, exceed the standards of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, as does the City of Kenai. The City prides itself in actively improving the overall standard of quality of the roadways for which the City is responsible. Over the past five years the City has improved and paved over three miles of gravel surfaced roads. Some of these newly paved roads are to a lesser standard than two, twelve foot driving lanes because that is what we had to work with. Oftentimes the scope of work for existing roadway improvements is based on a balance between the cost residents are willing to pay through an LID process and the real /perceived value of the improvements to the property owners. Just because a few newly paved residential roadways have been paved to a narrower standard that shouldn't be confused with a narrower roadway width being acceptable in a new subdivision.

SUBJECT: PZ 13 -25, Kee's Tem Subdivision, Street design variance request DATE: May 23, 2013 On behalf of Ed and Kathy Martin, owners of the subject property, I am submitting the following request for a variance from the current requirements of KMC 14.10.080 and 18.10.030, specifically a variance from the required 30 foot gravel street width to a lesser width of 26 feet. RELEVENT CONDITIONS: Kee's Tem Subdivision is located across the Kenai Spur Road from Thompson Park Subdivision and fronts on the north side of North Dogwood Road. The parcel contains 35 acres and is proposed to be subdivided into 24 lots of 1.0 to 1.3 acres in size. The lots will be served by three minor low volume streets serving 6 to 10 lots each with an estimated maximum daily traffic volume of about 50. The Streets were cleared and excavated to a sand subgrade years ago but never completed. A copy of the preliminary plat is attached as Attachment One. CITY CODE: Current code, for minor streets such as these, requires a minimum of a 30 foot graded surface, topped with an approved 6 inch gravel surface course providing a finish centerline grade within 12 inches of adjacent property and graded to drain with 24 inch deep ditches. The City Manager provided the Martins a sketch of a typical street section that would conform to the current code and is attached as Attachment Two. DISCUSSION: More comprehensive design standards are available that provide dimensional requirements based on variable traffic conditions. Being familiar with the various standards applied by the Kenai Peninsula Borough for various categories of roads in Waal settings such as this, the Martin's requested me to develop a recommendation for an appropriate street section based on accepted Industry Standards we regularly use for street and highway design and construction. My evaluation is not based on the roughly 15 % saved in construction but solely by the merits of expected traffic conditions, street geometries and safety. Based on my evaluation a 26 foot gravel surfaced road with a properly designed section depth would provide a safe and maintainable travel way that could be upgraded to a paved surface of adequate width in the future. My recommended section drawing is attached as Attachment Three. Philip W. Bryson PE (retired) Alan N. Corthell PE Frank W. Wince PE (Deceased)) Mark E. Blanning PE E. Casey Madden PE MgRage 7� ANALYSIS and JUSTIFICATION: As mentioned above the Kenai Peninsula Borough Title 14, Chapter 14.06, Road Construction Standards, provides standards based on the lot density served by the road. In this case Kee's Tern Subdivision streets, serving 10 and less lots each, would be classified as Category I streets requiring a total gravel width of 20 feet or, if paved, a paved width of 20 feet with 2 foot shoulders. The street widths increase in 2 foot increments as the lot density increases. The Borough standards go on to require stripping of organics within 4 feet of grade, specifications for sub base and base material and section depths as well as for maximum horizontal and vertical alignments. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) provides what is universally accepted as the industry standards for design of all public transportation systems. AASHTO bases its design standards on designations such as, Local, Urban, Rural, Collector, and Arterial as well as Average Daily Traffic counts (ADT), Design Speeds, and the type of terrain in the area. In this case Kee's Tern Subdivision streets would be designated Local Rural with a ADT range of 50 -250 vehicles per day and would require, like the Borough, a paved travel way width of 20 feet with 2 foot shoulders. Section depth is not specified as it is site specific designed based on several design methods involving soil mechanics and applied ADT and heavy truck loading. AASHTO goes on to provide additional guidance for providing safe sight distance by limiting horizontal and vertical alignments, clear zones, and the additional requirements that may be needed for on street parking or larger vehicle use. As both the Borough and AASHTO paved widths require a 24 foot finished surface, including pavement and shoulders, constructing the street now, to gravel sub base grade would require a width of 26 feet as shown on Attachment Three. Over the past 35 years Wince Corthell Bryson has designed many of the City's Streets utilizing the City and AASHTO standards. During the development of the design with the City the designation of minor or major was established and if on street parking was going to require additional width such as the 30 and 40 foot requirement accommodates. Following is a table of some of the Kenai Streets we have designed over the past 35 years showing their City ( AASHTO) designations and constructed sub base gravel width.

Bryson PE (retired) Alan N. Corthell PE rank W. Wince PE (Deceased)) Mark E. Blanning PE EAHUNT E. Casey Madden PE #0-6--1 I believe this analysis provides the justification and recommend the lesser width based on the standards set by quantifiable design variables such as lot density and /or traffic volume as well as the conditions that are provided by the existing City streets listed above. We appreciate the Administrations assistance and the Councils consideration in this matter and would also like to take the opportunity to encourage the City to consider developing comprehensive design and construction standards that take into consideration quantifiable and qualitative parameters.

Please see that it is passed onto all appropriate City of Kenai Staff, Commissions, Councils, etc. i hope it can be accomplished at/during the Installment Agreement phase. .'hank you. Sincerely, Kathleen Martin, Owner (907)595 -1632 or (907)252 -8163 KEE Construction, LLC 1 Page 91 of 234 Kathleen Martin PO Box 521 Cooper Landing, AK 99572 Ph & Fax (907)595 -1632 May 22, 2013 Dear Nancy & all appropriate City of Kenai Staff, Rick Koch, City Manager, conferred with the City Attorney and provided us with the following City Code provisions that address road construction standards: KMC 14.10.070 Subdivision Design Standards; KMC 14.10.080 Minimum Improvements required; KMC 14.20.320 Definitions; KMC 18.10.020 Street Building Permits; KMC 18.10.030 Street Improvements; KMC 18.10.040 Street Drainage; KMC 18.10.050 Curb Cuts and Driveways; and there are also provisions in KMC 18.20 Excavations in City Streets by Contractors or Utility Companies, that apply to excavation. I went to the City of Kenai's website & printed them off so that we could use them as a guideline as we go through this process of getting our plat approved by the City and go through the construction phases of our development. I have done some comparison research and have found that these codes are quite old and in need of upgrading to bring them up to industry standards. This is probably why it was originally suggested/recommended we construct roads to Municipality of Anchorage Standard Specifications (MASS 2009). We objected to this because MASS 2009 was never formally adopted by the City of Kenai, and has codes specific to Municipality of Anchorage communities. The Municipality of Anchorage has a higher density of people/traffic, water, sewer, electricity and natural gas utilities are more readily available, and a higher rate of existing roads are paved that might be used to access a new development within their municipality. In short, they don't reflect communities or conditions in our Borough. Please notice item No. 4 under "Notes" on our preliminary plat for KEE's Tern Subdivision. It states that: Page 92 of 234 1) Baste of big taken from Va"Ita Heights Subdivision Pat Z Plot KIM Kenai Recording District. 2) Building Setbook —A setback of 20 feet Is required from all street Rights — of —Way unless o Isaaar standard Is approval by resolution by the appropriate Planning Commission. 3) Mt waste disposal systems shall comply with existing laws at the time of construction. 4) Roods must meet the design and cmetnution standards established by the Borough In order to be coneldered for cartt8cation and inclusion In the Borough rood makrtenom m progrpn. 5) Front 10 fat of the 20 foot building setback and the antYS setback "Mtn S feet of the side lot Imes is a utility eossmsnt No pwmmmt structure shall be constructed or Placed within a WAR r easement which would interfere with the obtlity, of a utility t0 use the easement.

I am therefore notifying the City of Kenai that we intend to ask to build the roads in KEE's Tem Subdivision to Kenai Peninsula Borough Standards. I believe this can be accomplished during the "Installment Agreement ” phase between us & the City. I do not believe I have to actually request a waiver from the City Planning and Zoning Commission; they can only `recommend" a waiver correct? I realize that the City of Kenai has not adopted Kenai Peninsula Borough Codes. I am suggesting that the City of Kenai and Kathleen Martin, property owner of record on the preliminary plat for KEE's Tern Subdivision, can come to an agreement that the roads in KEE's Tem Subdivision will be built to meet Kenai Peninsula Borough Codes. We can meet to review said codes, and agree to what will be required of us. I'm sure the City Attorney can provide both parties appropriate terminology for the Installment Agreement. I feel this is the best solution to update road standards at this time. Kenai Peninsula Borough Codes have been designed to regulate areas within its confines, and when necessary to mention conditio specific to certain communities it does so. ns I thank you for your time and careful consideration in this matter.

It is my understanding the developer /petitioner is requesting that the requirements for the installation of an approved public water supply in subdivisions of ten(10) or more lots per KMC 14.10.080(e), and the installation of sanitary sewer lines to serve each lot when sanitary sewers are available for connection by the subdivider per KMC 14.10.080(f), be waived, varied, or modified by the City Council after a report by the Planning & Zoning Commission (P & Z). Further, it is my understanding that the developer is not requesting a waiver, variance, or modification from any other requirements contained in the Kenai Municipal Code. Request #1, To eliminate the requirement for a public water supply Relevant Conditions: An existing water transmission main, available for connection by the developer is located approximately 250 lineal feet from the subdivision. The subdivision is comprised of lots in excess of 40,000 square feet in size, and meets the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) minimum lot size requirements for on -site water and sewer systems. Analysis: As stated above the proposed subdivision does not require a public water supply to meet ADEC regulations. I considered the following criteria: Fire protection. While fire protection of any homes /structures would be enhanced by a public water supply which included fire hydrants, the existing Page 94 of 234 homes /structures in near proximity to the proposed subdivision are not served by public water systems and receive fire protection from the Kenai Fire Department through the use of tanker trucks. 2. Will there be future development(s) in the proximity of the proposed subdivision that will need to be connected to an extension of the public water system? Probably not, there is very little developable property to the west, the proposed subdivision is bounded by the Beaver Creek Drainage to the north, and much of the property to the south has already been developed as single family residences having on -site water and sewer systems. Recommendation: Administration recommends that P & Z's report to Council include a recommendation that the code requirement for a public water supply be waived. Request #2, To eliminate the requirement for installation of sanitary sewer lines to serve each lot and to connect to a sanitary sewer collector if located within 1,500 feet of the subdivider's nearest lot line. Relevant Conditions: A sanitary sewer collector is located approximately 400 lineal feet from the subdivision. The sewer collector is located on the opposite side of the Kenai Spur Highway. The cost of boring under the Kenai Spur Highway is estimated to be at least $50,000 and could be greater given the depth of bury. Analysis: Given the lot sizes the proposed subdivision does not require connection to a public sanitary sewer system to meet ADEC regulations. I considered the following criteria: 1. The cost of connecting to the City's sanitary sewer on the opposite side of the Kenai Spur Highway. The cost for the connection and a system to serve this large -lot subdivision is prohibitive and may well result in the development being financially unfeasible. 2. Soils conditions being conducive to on -site sewer systems. There is no reason to assume the soil conditions will not support on -site systems. There are many on -site systems in operation in the immediate vicinity. 3. Health issues. There are no known health issues, such as contamination of existing wells and /or groundwater. Recommendation: Administration recommends that P & Z's report to Council recommends that the code requirement for a sanitary sewer connection be waived. Subdivision Road Standards While not requested by the developer, the Administration requests that P & Z include an Page 95 of 234 acceptable alternative roadway design in its report to the City Council requesting that a variance be approved by Council if the developer wants to construct the alternative design rather than what is required in KMC 14.10.080(c) and KMC 18.10.030. Attached as Exhibit "A" is a sketch of the roadway standard required in municipal code (sheet 1) and a proposed alternative standard (sheet 2). The developer will not be required to construct to the alternative standard, rather it is simply for consideration by the developer. Thank you for your attention in this matter. attachment Page 96 of 234 CITY OF KENAI City Manager's Office 210 Fidalgo Ave. • Kenai, AK 99611 (907) 283-8222 • Fax (907) 283-3014 rkoch@ci.kenai.ak.us WAw"WORMOT, 11 - CALCULATED BY DATE_ CHECKED BY SCALE - T� Ic . . . . . . . . . . .

The property owner is requesting the Planning Commission grant exceptions to three (3) of the recommendations that were approved under PZ13 -01 (see attached PZ13 -01 Resolution): 1. "Grant an exception to KMC 14.10.080(e) (Public Water System) and (f) (Sanitary Sewer Service)." The Planning Commission cannot grant this exception, but they can make a recommendation to the Kenai City Council to waive the requirement. 2. "a. Streets and drainage plans must be designed and constructed to Municipality of Anchorage Standard Specifications (2009 MASS)." The City of Kenai has not formally adopted this section of code into our municipal code, therefore it cannot require it. if. Streets will require a minimum 24 -foot paved surface, with 2 -foot shoulders and approved excavation and backfill." This requirement is not in our code. Roads must be built in compliance with Kenai Municipal Code 14.10.080(c). It is recommended the Commission make findings to the waiver of the utility exceptions. The Commission can amend the requirement that the streets must be built to the requirements of KMC 14.10.080(c). Unless the Commission makes additional exceptions, the remaining requirements must still be met. 38 Page 99 of 234 WINCE — CORTHELL — BRYSON Consulting Engineers Box 1041 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Phone 907 - 283 -4672 Fax 907 - 2834676 E -Mail cmaddenawcbalaska.com TO: City Administration and Council FROM: Casey Madden, P.E. SUBJECT: PZ 13 -25, Kee's Tern Subdivision, Street design variance request DATE: May 23, 2013 On behalf of Ed and Kathy Martin, owners of the subject property, I am submitting the following request for a variance from the current requirements of KMC 14.10.080 and 18.10.030, specifically a variance from the required 30 foot gravel street width to a lesser width of 26 feet. RELEVENT CONDITIONS: Kee's Tern Subdivision is located across the Kenai Spur Road from Thompson Park Subdivision and fronts on the north side of North Dogwood Road. The parcel contains 35 acres and is proposed to be subdivided into 24 lots of 1.0 to 1.3 acres in size. The lots will be served by three minor low volume streets serving 6 to 10 lots each with an estimated maximum daily traffic volume of about 50. The Streets were cleared and excavated to a sand subgrade years ago but never completed. A copy of the preliminary plat is attached as Attachment One. CITY CODE: Current code, for minor streets such as these, requires a minimum of a 30 foot graded surface, topped with an approved 6 inch gravel surface course providing a finish centerline grade within 12 inches of adjacent property and graded to drain with 24 inch deep ditches. The City Manager provided the Martins a sketch of a typical street section that would conform to the current code and is attached as Attachment Two. DISCUSSION: More comprehensive design standards are available that provide dimensional requirements based on variable traffic conditions. Being familiar with the various standards applied by the Kenai Peninsula Borough for various categories of roads in rural settings such as this, the Martin's requested me to develop a recommendation for an appropriate street section based on accepted Industry Standards we regularly use for street and highway design and construction. My evaluation is not based on the roughly 15 % saved in construction but solely by the merits of expected traffic conditions, street geometries and safety. Based on my evaluation a 26 foot gravel surfaced road with a properly designed section depth would provide a safe and maintainable travel way that could be upgraded to a paved surface of adequate width in the future. My recommended section drawing is attached as Attachment Three. Philip W. Bryson PE (retired) Alan N. Con hell PE Frank W. Wince PE (Deceased)) Mark E. Blanning PE E. Casey Madden PE Page 100 of 234 ANALYSIS and JUSTIFICATION: As mentioned above the Kenai Peninsula Borough Title 14, Chapter 14.06, Road Construction Standards, provides standards based on the lot density served by the road. In this case Kee's Tem Subdivision streets, serving 10 and less lots each, would be classified as Category I streets requiring a total gravel width of 20 feet or, if paved, a paved width of 20 feet with 2 foot shoulders. The street widths increase in 2 foot increments as the lot density increases. The Borough standards go on to require stripping of organics within 4 feet of grade, specifications for sub base and base material and section depths as well as for maximum horizontal and vertical alignments. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) provides what is universally accepted as the industry standards for design of all public transportation systems. AASHTO bases its design standards on designations such as. Local, Urban, Rural, Collector, and Arterial as well as Average Daily Traffic counts (ADT), Design Speeds, and the type of terrain in the area. In this case Kee's Tern Subdivision streets would be designated Local Rural with a ADT range of 50 -250 vehicles per day and would require, like the Borough, a paved travel way width of 20 feet with 2 foot shoulders. Section depth is not specified as it is site specific designed based on several design methods involving soil mechanics and applied ADT and heavy truck loading. AASHTO goes on to provide additional guidance for providing safe sight distance by limiting horizontal and vertical alignments, clear zones, and the additional requirements that may be needed for on street parking or larger vehicle use. As both the Borough and AASHTO paved widths require a 24 foot finished surface, including pavement and shoulders, constructing the street now, to gravel sub base grade would require a width of 26 feet as shown on Attachment Three. Over the past 35 years Wince Corthell Bryson has designed many of the City's Streets utilizing the City and AASHTO standards. During the development of the design with the City the designation of minor or major was established and if on street parking was going to require additional width such as the 30 and 40 foot requirement accommodates. Following is a table of some of the Kenai Streets we have designed over the past 35 years showing their City ( AASHTO) designations and constructed sub base gravel width.

Kenai Landing has requested the vacation of a state section line on the subject property. The vacation has gone through the preliminary phases of review and approval by the State, Borough, and the City. Final plat/vacation have not yet been completed to my knowledge. State law requires that a property owner vacating a section line provide equal or better access as than that provided by the section line being vacated. The new dedicated easement will be provided for on the final plat; however Kenai Landing has requested the City to accept the subject easement, in addition to the plat dedicating the right -of -way. The easement language has been the subject of many revisions back and forth between the administration and Kenai Landing. It is intended to describe the interest conveyed and intention of the parties in greater detail than that provided by the plat, without creating or reserving any additional rights for either party than those created by the vacation of the section line and dedication of new public access and a parking area. While I do not believe the easement is necessary for the City in addition to the platting process, I understand that it is important and has value for Kenai Landing and I have no objection to execution of the easement. I believe that the easement should be executed simultaneously with approval of the final section line plat/vacation and dedication of the new right -of -way.

Ordinance 2707 -2013 will appropriate grant funds received from the State of Alaska for the purchase of a fire/rescue boat for the Kenai Fire Department. The City operates a Federal Aviation Administration designated Part 139 Airport with over twenty regularly scheduled passenger flights per day. The airport's southern approach is over Cook Inlet and the mouth of the Kenai River creating the need for water rescue capabilities. The department must also respond to sunk or swamped marine vessels operating in the Kenai River and Cook Inlet near the River's mouth. This funding will replace the department's existing aging rescue boat that is in need of approximately $40,000 in repairs and requires approximately $7,500 in annual maintenance due predominately to its age. .

Ordinance 2708 -2013 will appropriate grant funds received from the State of Alaska for the construction of a new water storage facility for the City's Water and Sewer Utility. The City's existing 3- million gallon reservoir was constructed in 1978 and has been in continuous service for 34 years. The reservoir has performed in an exemplary manner, providing adequate storage to meet domestic, industrial, and fire protection needs for the community. In 2011, the City hired a consultant to perform a condition survey of the existing reservoir who determined, "the interior coating system shows signs of extensive coating failure after its years of service. The roof coating has failed over 30% of the surface and the shell coating has blisters on 85% of the shell surfaces. The wall blisters are beginning to crack and cause large scale underfilm corrosion and delamination. There is no serious metal loss at this time but the tank will probably need to be repainted in 1 -3 years." Construction of a new water storage reservoir will provide for the continued reliable operation of the City's water production and distribution system, will meet the existing and future water storage requirements of the City, provide system redundancy, and provide alternate storage during major maintenance to the City's existing 3- million gallon reservoir.

John Williams President City of Kenai (Representative) Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (Cook Inlet RCAC) Quarterly Board Meeting, Friday, May 3, 2013 Board of Directors Synopsis Speaker of the House Mike Chenault: entertained questions from the board and gave highlights from last legislative session, including SB 2, the oil tax revision bill, which passed on last day of session. SB 21 `changes the way state gets its revenue stream." Speaker Chenault also talked about the in -state gas pipeline, a 36" diameter pipeline running 700 miles, and expressed his belief that there will be an export component. Senator Peter Micciche: The Senator expressed his support for streamlining the permitting process and said he plans to work with Cook Inlet NGOs (non - governmental organizations) to improve House Bill 77, which deals with reserving water rights and is cur- rently in the House Rules Committee. The Senator talked about mixing zones, and issues surrounding waste treatment and industry discharges; waste streams, permits, and pathways. His goal is to look at impacts to overall watersheds; particularly, to evaluate effluent in coastal communities this summer with DEC's help. He said he will look to the federal government for funding to rectify problems that they find. Lt. Sarah Geoffrion, US Coast Guard: The Lieutenant expressed the Coast Guard's gratitude for our assistance and contribution of local knowledge during the Kulluk incident, which is still under investigation. The rig is overseas for repairs and Shell will not be back to drill in the Arctic. Geof rion said that sequestration has been a big concern as far as response capabilities; however, funding is still available for response. She agreed to pass on concerns relayed to Mr. Smiley from residents of Old Harbor about potential oil lost from the Kulluk's lifeboats. This was Lt. Geoffrion's last Council meeting, as she is being reassigned to Virginia. State Pipeline Coordinator's Office: Jason Walsh, Natural Resource Specialist, and Graham Smith, Information Officer: provided an overview of the State Pipeline Coordinator's Office, a Division of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in An- chorage. They issue right -of -way leases and conduct compliance for 19 pipelines (TAPS, North Slope to Southcentral). They came to the meeting because of their interest in the proposed Cook Inlet Energy 24 -mile submerged pipe line proposal (8.65" diameter; 95,000 bbls capacity) and the work we've been doing on the navigational risk assessment. DNR has seat at the table and plays an important role in permitting every pipeline project in the state that crosses state land. SPCO enters into project when right -of -way leases are applied for. The Executive Director indicated the Council's interest in the agency appointing an Ex Officio Director. Navigational Risk Assessment Update: Leslie Pearson, project manager with Nuka Research, provided an update on the naviga- tional risk assessment, (posted at www.circac.ore, click on Outreach). She reviewed the tasks that have been completed and out- lined the work ahead, which includes estimating the benefit, cost, ease of implementation and assessing potential unintended nega- tive consequences of the Risk Reduction Options. All supporting documentation is posted at www.cookinletriskassessment.com. Executive Director's Report: Cook Inlet RCAC has worked to increase our exposure in national and international arenas. The Executive Director spoke at a spill symposium in British Columbia, where they expressed an interest in the RCAC model for citi- zen participation in oil and gas development in BC. The Director of Science has been to BC as well to speak to coastal communi- ties. To further promote RCAC on national level, the Executive Director continues to chair the Environmental Safety Committee on the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC). Cook Inlet RCAC submitted comments and gave public testimony to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) on proposed changes to the State of Alaska's current fracking regulations. To educate the Council on the FracFocus program, one of the programs developed by the IOGCC, he encouraged all to visit the website: www.fracfocus.org. We have submitted a Federal Appropriation Request this year and provided the council with a status report. Although funding is uncertain, we will continue to submit requests as we have in the past to maintain our presence. We are also looking to DEC for Shore Zone funding and continue to reach out to other potential funding sources and opportunities. DEC Commissioner Larry Hartig: gave an overview of big permits, including air permits, contingency plans and approvals and water quality permits, as well as update on legislation from DEC's perspective (404 permit primacy project). Air permits: industry wants more flexibility to move rigs between locations. DEC policies are based on federal require- ments. A work group has been organized to look at whether there is a need to modify permits to accommodate industry Page 220 of 234 while staying in compliance with the Clean Air Act. The Commissioner invited Mr. Munger to participate on the work group, and he accepted. Contingency plans: Buccaneer requested an amendment to approve winter operations; however, ADEC does not consider the amendment minor and is reviewing it closely. The Furie Kitchen Light Unit passed AOGCC inspection and has also committed to providing ADEC with weekly updates on their progress. ADEC is also working with CISPRI and Furie to improve skimmer efficiency. Water Quality Standards: there are different types of pollutants standards for discharging into water bodies, including a set of standards that look at what is possible for industry to achieve based on technology. If an industry can achieve a zero discharge, a zero discharge is required. The question is whether Cook Inlet would benefit from technology -based Water Quality Standards or should the standards for Cook Inlet be updated to reflect industry improvements; i.e. do we drive ma- rine water quality standards based on technology if greater protections can be achieved through other means? Mixing Zones: the basic idea is that it is difficult, particularly for wastewater dischargers at municipal plants, to achieve all Water Quality Standards at the end of the pipe. While DEC would like to say no pollution, mixing zones strike a balance. Primacy: 402 Wastewater Discharge Permitting Program (Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System or APDES). The State is authorized to issue permits under federal Clean Water Act (CWA); however, they must notify EPA before issu- ing a permit. Consultation: The Commissioner acknowledged a recent oversight and reaffirmed that Cook Inlet RCAC will be consulted on future National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) and APDES permits affecting Cook Inlet. He noted that the Tesoro Kenai refinery and ConocoPhillips LNG plant permits were coming up for review. Legislation Update: State primacy for 404 Clean Water Act program is currently administered by the Army Corps of Engi- neers. With 175 million acres of wetlands, Alaska has a vested interest in this program. The Legislature has told the state to take a hard look at assuming primacy. From ADEC's perspective, primacy would allow better integration of Alaska's entire water program. Cruise Ships: Cruise ships have to be using the advanced wastewater system before they can apply for a mixing zone, un- der the law recently passed by the Legislature. Anti - degradation: Although State regulations set up a method for analyzing when to allow any degradation of water, DEC is preparing more detailed guidance. Recruiting for Director of the Division of Spill Prevention and Response (SPAR): after 37 years of State service, the State's Director of Spill Prevention and Response, Lary Dietrick, has retired. ADEC has extended their deadline to find his replacement. Response Fund: SPAR's budget is built on crude oil surcharge and drops when oil production is down. The surcharge was kept whole for a number of years, but is now dangerously close to going into the red, and will be heavy into the red by 2016 ($5 million). COMMITTEES AND PROGRAMS HIGHLIGHTS: PROPS Committee —Staff updated the Council on the Buccaneerjack -up rig operations, Kulluk grounding, Ice Forecasting Network of Cameras installation, Hilcorp Alaska operations, and recent Drill exercises. They also reported that the Committee appointed Mr. Bob Favretto to serve the remainder of Mr. Barry Eldridge's term as Vice Chair. Mr. Eldridge died in 2012. Protocol Committee —the committee reviewed and commented on the following C- plans: Hilcorp Alaska, for production and explo- ration facilities; and Buccaneer Alaska Operations for Cook Inlet exploration operations program, and for a major amendment to add the West Eagle Prospect to the exploration program. The committee also proposed changes to Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Ad- ministrative Code with regard to hydraulic fracturing. Environmental Monitoring Committee —main activities for the EMC included subtidal/intertidal/ background source monitoring and the beluga prey study, including meeting with Motes Marine Laboratory contractors and negotiating the final list for fish/invertebrate contaminant analysis; and the Cook Inlet Response Tool, which will undergo some improvements based on feedback. The Commit - tee is also reviewing NPDES and APDES permits for Cook Inlet exploration. Comments are due May 22 and May 23.
