ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Minutes prepared and submitted by: Corene Hall, CIVIC, Deputy City PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 12, 2013 PAGE 7 5a STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Date: June 10, 2013 Res: PZ13 -30 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Bill Richmond 398 -3152 P.O. Box 3152 Kenai, AK 99611 Requested Action: Rezone — Split Zone — Suburban Residential & Rural Residential to Rural Residential Legal Description: Tract, 2A, Killen Estates, Richmond Addition Street Address: 733 McKinley Street KPB Parcel No.: 04321028 Existing Zoning: Split — Rural Residential (RR) & Suburban Residential (RS) Current Land Use: Single Family Home Land Use Plan: Neighborhood Residential ANALYSIS General Information: This is an application to rezone the property described above as Tract 2A, Killen Estates, Richmond Addition, as shown on Attachment A, from a split zone Rural Residential and Suburban Residential to Rural Residential. There is a single - family structure on the lot. The property is served by onsite water & sewer. Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.270 describes amendment procedures. Section 2 states, "Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered only if the area to be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights -of -way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary." This property is adjacent to properties zoned Rural Residential and Suburban Residential. The lot contains approximately 4.78 acres. The requested rezone meets the criteria for an amendment. The property is located at the end of McKinley Street. This portion of McKinley Street is not maintained. In 2010, to obtain a building permit, the applicant was required to build a single - family driveway. Single family driveways are built to provide developed access to properties and consist of construction of a half street. It was the owners intent to build on one lot, but during the inspection process it was determined the house encroached into the setbacks. Removing the lot line between the two (2) parcels eliminated the encroachment violation. PZ13 -30- Comments Page 2 In 2011, the property owner removed the lot line creating one (1) large parcel. One parcel was zoned Rural Residential and the other was zoned Suburban Residential. Removing the lot line created a split zone. This was missed during the review of the plat. The City tries to eliminate split zones when they are created due to subdivision replats. The development standards are different in each zone, which can cause problems with certain types of development and uses. Based on the size of the lot and on -site utilities, the property mirrors the Rural Residential zone. The intent of the Rural Residential zone is, "Is intended to provide for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form which creates a stable and attractive residential environment." "The intent of the RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems." The Comprehensive Plan classifies the area as Neighborhood Residential. "The Neighborhood Residential district consists of single - family and multi - family residential areas that are urban or suburban in character. Typically, public water and sewer services are in place or planned for installation. This land use district may include both single - family and multi - family dwellings subject to reasonable density transitions and/or design compatibility. Formal public outdoor spaces (parks) are a critical feature in this district. Small home -based businesses may be accommodated within certain design guidelines. Neighborhood institutional uses such as churches, schools, and day care facilities may be intermixed if they comply with neighborhood design guidelines." Building Official: No building code issues. RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed rezone meets the requirements of the Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.270(2). The parcel is accessed off of McKinley Street from Redoubt Avenue. The rezone will enlarge an adjacent boundary, and eliminate a split zone, which can cause problems with certain types of development and uses. Based on the size of the lot and on -site utilities, the property is comparable to the Rural Residential zone. Recommend approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. PZ13 -30 2. Application 3.

Dear Mr. Ogle, At the request of Bill Richmond, I inspected the construction of a driveway in the McKinley Street right of way to access Mr. Richmond's property at 733 McKinley Street. The purpose of my inspection was to confirm that the driveway within the right of way is constructed in conformance with the City of Kenai's Typical Sections for Single Family Dwelling Access Right of Way Permit.' I visited the site prior to construction to review existing drainage patterns. The driveway extends approximately 280 feet south from Redoubt Avenue to Mr. Richmond's property which lies on the west side of McKinley Street. The driveway is built in the west side of the right of way centerline and is 12' wide. There is an existing paved approach at Redoubt Avenue. The area is very Flat and runoff will dissipate by percolation, so the final driveway grade was established approximately 1' above adjoining ground. Ditches were excavated to approximately 2' deep to provide adequate snow storage and room for snowmelt to accumulate off of the road surface. The area had been previously cleared and had a thin layer of gravel. The new driveway was constructed by excavating out the existing gravel surface and approximately 2 feet of unsuitable soils to expose underlying NFS sand. After excavation was complete, NFS gravel was brought in to fill to within 4" of final grade. A final lift of 2" minus non frost susceptible gravel was then placed a finish driving surface. All material was compacted as it was placed. Mr. Richmond's property is accessed via a driveway at the end of the McKinley Street extension. A culvert was placed parallel to McKinley street at the driveway. The final surface was graded and compacted and conforms to the Typical Sections for Single Family Dwelling Access Right of Way Permit.' Preconstruction. Preconstruction -test hole.

Ed Martin III was in attendance and approved of the plat as presented. • May 8, 2013, the Martins attended the Planning & Zoning meeting requesting the Commission grant an exception to KMC 14.10.080(e) Public Water System and KMC 14.10.080(f) Sanitary Sewer Service. Commission suggested the applicant should work with administration for process of requesting exceptions to the City's code. • May 22, 2013, Planning & Zoning Commission recommended Kenai City Council grant an exception to KMC 14.10.080(e)(f)" o The developer verbally requested an exception to road standards. The Commission took no action, recommended the developer work with administration, for any exceptions to the minimum road improvements requirement. • June 5, 2013, the Kenai City Council approved recommendation for exceptions to KMC 14.10.080(e) Public Water System and KMC 14.10.080(f) Sanitary Sewer Service. "' • The Martins were present at this meeting requesting the Council also grant an exception to the City's minimum road development standards as allowed in KMC 14.10.080'v. • Applicants were notified the request would need to go back to the Planning & Zoning Commission for a recommendation before Council could take action. • To meet the requirements outlined in KMC 14.20.280 "Public hearings and notifications ", the earliest the item could be placed on the Planning & Zoning agenda was June 26, 2013. • June 7, 2013, Pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 variations and exceptions, the applicants submitted a request to construct the roads within Kee's Tern Subdivision to Kenai Peninsula Borough Road Standards as outlined in KPB Chapter 14.06." The applicant is requesting the Commission grant exceptions to the City of Kenai's Minimum road development standards that were required in PZ13- 25(13 -01) (2) "...all streets in the subdivision be built to the minimum standards required by City Code." The applicants state the reason for the request is because the current City code KMC 14.10.080 is in need of upgrading, and does not address variable conditions (category of area, lot density, average daily trips, safety, operation and maintenance). The applicant is requesting to build the roads within Kee's Tern Subdivision to the standards allowed by Kenai Peninsula Borough Standards outlined in Chapter 14.06 of the Borough code. Ms. Martin has submitted a cross - section design on how they propose to construct the roads. Casey Madden, Engineer with Wince- Corthell- Bryson, is requesting the streets be constructed to a 26 -foot (26') width instead of the 30 -foot (30') width as required in KMC 14.10.080(c). It is Administrations recommendation that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend to the Kenai City Council, the applicant's variance request to construct roads to the Kenai Peninsula Borough minimum standards be denied. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends the developer be required to construct roads to the standards required by KMC 14.10.080, depicted as Attachment "C" in the City Manager's memorandum to the City Council dated May 29, 2013, or in the alternative standards depicted as Attachments "B" and "D ", of the same memorandum.

Administration recommends that P& Z include in its report to City Council the following, or substantially similar finding: "The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends to the Kenai City Council, that the applicants variance request to construct roads to the Kenai Peninsula Borough minimum standards be denied. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends that the developer be required to construct roads to the standards required by KMC 14.10.080, depicted as Attachment "C" to the City Manager's memorandum to the City Council dated May 29, 2013, or in the alternative standards depicted as Attachments "B ", and "D ", to the City Manager's memorandum to the City Council dated May 29, 2013." Subdivision standards and roadway standards vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Quite often minimum standards in more rural areas may be unacceptable in more developed areas, certainly in areas requiring more significant operations and maintenance efforts. The applicant has stated the City's road standards are "out of date" and need to be "reviewed and updated." While it is true that the City's standards are undergoing review and Administration will to submit to the Commission and Council a comprehensive document specifying development standards, that should not be taken to assume the current standards are "out of date." In fact, in conflict with the applicants request to lower the City's subdivision road standards, the new standards which will be proposed by Administration will require paved roadways as the minimum standards. Thank you for your attention in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

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 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." I 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 23`d). 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 281h 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 ll width, as required by the City Manager to the appropriate grade, and sha be surfaced to a minimum of thirty feet (30'), and all major streets shall be 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*: I. 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. 2. 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, 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.

I, Kathleen Martin, am formally requesting an exception(s) or Variance Permit to KMC 14.10.080 for the relaxation of the development requirements of this chapter as it relates to the construction of streets in KEE's Tern Subdivision due to the fact that existing City of Kenai applicable Codes are in need of upgrading, and do not address variable conditions (category of area, lot density, average daily trips, safety, operation & maintenance).

Each lot being approximately one acre in size is intended to have a single family Five Star home and garage, and parking area for at least 2 vehicles or the total number their family vehicle(s) plus guest(s). The locations for these buildings on each lot are not known at this time. Building setback, waste disposal systems, utility easements and waste water disposal are addressed in the "Notes" section of the preliminary plat. Kenai City Council approved the following exceptions to the minimum improvements required for KEE's Tern Subdivision pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 Variations and Exceptions: a. Public water system required pursuant to KMC. 14.10.080(e) not be required based on the following findings: i. Lot sizes are over 40,000 sq. feet, which are adequate to support on -site water. ii. City fire protection is available. iii. On -site water is consistent with surrounding neighborhood. b. Sanitary sewer lines required pursuant to KMC. 14.10.080(f) not be required based on the following findings: i. Lot sizes are over 40,000 sq. feet, which are adequate to support on -site sewer. ii. Cost prohibitive to boring under the Kenai Spur Highway. iii. Soils are adequate to support on -site waste water. Streets: Streets within KEE's Tern Subdivision are to be constructed to the specifications and with the materials listed on the attached cross - section designed for Ed & Kathy Martin by Wince Corthell Bryson dated 5- 24 -13. This is anticipated to be a three phase development and streets will be gravel. At some point in the future they may be paved or chip sealed.

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. Corthell PE Mark E. Blanning PE Frank W. Wince (Deceased)) E. Casey Madden PE 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.

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.

The following general design criteria shall be used for street construction projects within the city: A. Alignment. The street construction center line shall normally coincide with the rightof -way center line unless a deviation is approved by the public works director. B. Performance Objectives. Streets should be designed to meet the following performance objectives: 1. Provide Safe and efficient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic; 2 Follow natural contours, preserve natural features, match existing driveways and minimize use of retaining walls whenever practical; 3 Minimize traffic speed and volume, noise, congestion and hazards to pedestrians; 4 Minimize the amount of paved area to reduce storm water runoff and thereby protect water resources; and, 5. Provide a drainage system that will handle a ten year frequency storm from within the watershed and to protect streams, drainage ways and streets from erosion, sedimentation and increased runoff. C Grade. 1 The minimum grade should be 0.4 percent, but in extreme cases the public works director may approve a minimum grade at 0.2 percent. 2. The maximum grade shall be 10 percent but limited to 4 percent within one hundred feet of any intersection 3 Where grades of 4 percent or steeper are necessary, a narrative shall be submitted to the public works director articulating measures to be taken to prevent erosion. 4 Whenever cut or fill is required, the quantities should be balanced. Slope easements maybe required to avoid steep slopes.

Streets within the city shall be classified by primary function with consideration for frequency of use. The classification of a street may, as a result of change of primary function or frequency of use, be changed by resolution of the city council. (Prior code § 14.10.010) 12.04.020 Street classification map. A map of the streets within the city shall be maintained at the city offices and designated as the city "street classification map." This map shalt indicate the classification of all streets within the city, and be approved by the council upon recommendation of the planning and utilities commission. (Prior code § 14.10.020) 12.04.030 Street classifications. Streets in the city shall be classified according to the categories described herein. When different portions of a street serves different functions, those portions may be classified according to the primary function. A. Low Density. A low density street provides minimal access to rural portions of the city where tracts of land are typically, five acres or larger in size. Traffic density should be in the range of fifty http : / /www.amlegal.com/alpscripts /get- content,aspx 5/31/2013 Page 2 of 4 (50) to one hundred (100) vehicles per day, and speeds are expected to be slow. Maintenance will be low priority for city road crews. A low density road standard is generally acceptable only for subdivisions that meet the requirements of the Matanuska - Susitna Borough waiver process. Subsequent subdivisions or development may require upgrade of low density streets to a minimum of local/residential standards. B. Local /Residential Streets. A local /residential street provides movement of local traffic from individual properties to collector and arterial streets. Lower traffic speeds and volumes of less than two hundred (200) annual average daily traffic (AADT) are expected. Residential streets are typical subdivision, subdivision feeder streets. and cul -de -sacs. Direct access to adjacent private property with individual driveways is common and acceptable. C. Commercial Streets. Commercial streets provide access to and movement through business, industrial, retail and other commercial areas of the city. Traffic volumes are expected to be high, and speed limits should not exceed thirty-five (35) m.p.h. On -street parking may be accommodated and intensive traffic control achieved through the use of signs, signalization and, where appropriate, one - way traffic. D. Minor Collector Streets. A minor collector street provides for movement from subdivisions and residential streets to major collector roads, arterial roads and highways. Minor collectors may also carry traffic from one neighborhood to another, or from one neighborhood to other areas of the community. Traffic volumes range from under 400 AADT to more than 2000 AADT. Although design speeds on flat terrain are fifty (50) m.p.h., most collector traffic speeds are generally expected to be twenty -five (25) to thirty-five (35) m.p.h. Direct access to private property is acceptable when other access is not available, or should be limited to intervals that do not inhibit traffic flow and public safety. E. Major Collector Streets. Major collector streets provide for intercity movement and access to arterial and interstate roads, as well as connecting traffic to and from residential areas. Traffic volumes will be high and driving speeds should be at least thirty-five (35) m.p.h., except in congested urban areas. Access should be limited to other collector streets and commercial streets. Direct access from low density and local /residential streets should be discouraged. (Prior code § 14.10.030) 12.04.040 Right -of -way width. A. The right -of -way width standards described below are intended to serve as guides for obtaining and preserving rights -of -way: Low density 60 feet 2. Local /residential 60 feet 3.

Gravel roads shall be constructed in accordance with the Gravel Road Typical Section drawing and associated tables. Additional requirements are: Roads must be contiguous with an existing road system maintained by the borough or other governmental agency. All roads must be on a dedicated right -of -way or a section -line easement and must be built along the right -of- way centerline. Minimum right -of -way width shall be 60 feet. All organic material shall be stripped and removed to a minimum depth of four feet below finished grade. If geotextile is utilized over organics, then the depth of embankment must be two feet minimum or greater as required for stability for Category I and II roads, and 30 inches or greater for Category III roads. Extraction of material between the ditch lines for any purpose other than excavation to subgrade is prohibited. Geotextile shall be placed over all subgrade soils consisting of silts or clays with a frost classification of F4 (U.S. Corps of Engineers). Geotextile shall be provided to cover maximum width of embankment. The roadway embankment shall be placed in lifts of 12 inches or less and compacted to not less than 92 percent of maximum density. Maximum density shall be determined by AASHTO T 180, Method D.

The applicant shall provide an escrow agreement to the Borough that includes the following terms: the funds shall be held in trust until released by the Borough; the funds may not be used or pledged as other security; and the funds shall be available to the Borough for any costs incurred for reconstruction or repair of any road failures, defects, or deficiencies that occur during the warranty period. A letter of credit in the required security amount from a bank or other responsible financial institution authorized to do such business in Alaska and acceptable to the borough finance director that is irrevocable until the Borough authorizes the revocation and guarantees the creditor shall pay to the Borough immediately and without further action the funds necessary for reconstruction or repair of any road failures, defects, or deficiencies that occurred during the warranty period. Warranty Period. During the warranty period the applicant for road maintenance shall be responsible for all required road repairs, improvements, or reconstruction as long as the need for such repairs, improvements, or reconstruction was not caused solely by RSA maintenance activities. If the applicant for maintenance fails to make sufficient repairs, improvements, or reconstruction in a reasonable amount of time as E. F. G. In determined by the RSA director, the RSA or its agent may do the required work at the applicant's expense and may bill the applicant or apply funds securing the warranty to pay for the work. End of Warranty Period. The RSA shall inspect the applicant's road(s) at the end of the warranty period. All deficiencies except those caused solely by borough maintenance activities must be corrected prior to the release of any warranty security. 1. 2. If the final inspection reveals the road is sufficient, the borough shall release any and all remaining securities to the applicant. If the road is insufficient, the applicant shall be provided an opportunity to correct any and all deficiencies at the applicant's cost within a reasonable time as prescribed by the RSA director. If the applicant does not correct all deficiencies within the prescribed time, the RSA or its agent may do the required work and secure immediate payment from the security to pay for any repair, improvement, or reconstruction costs in addition to any other remedies that might be available to the borough for the applicant's breach of warranty.

Road construction standards — Paving specifications. Q M N E. F. Description. The RSA board will only certify roads containing asphalt concrete pavement on a prepared base if designed and stamped by a licensed civil engineer. The work under this section consists of the performance of all work required for the construction of asphalt concrete pavement on a prepared base (as shown in the Paved Road Typical Section drawing and associated Paved Road Table). Current editions of "Standard Specifications for Highway Construction," as adopted by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and the "Standard Specifications for Streets, Drainage, and Utilities," as adopted by the Municipality of Anchorage will be the references used for asphalt concrete paving. Material and testing. The RSA requires the asphalt pavement mix design be submitted and stamped by an Alaska licensed civil engineer or prepared and approved by the Alaska Department of Transportation. Process quality control records for aggregate shall be submitted with the asphalt pavement mix design. The project engineer must provide a certified as -built drawing or a detailed report certifying that the road has been constructed to RSA standards. This report must include photos, sieve analysis of materials used, field inspection reports, compaction test results, and other inclusions the RSA may request. The asphalt required by these specifications shall conform to the requirements of The Asphalt Institute for the type and grade and shall comply with ADOT /PF specifications used in the area. Crushed aggregate based coarse, D -1, shall comply with ADOT /PF specifications. Two -foot compacted shoulders are required. The prepared base shall, at a minimum, meet the standards for a Category III road. Inspection of the subgrade by the design engineer is required prior to paving. The contractor shall submit a certified analysis of the asphalt to the RSA for review and approval by the RSA director. The RSA reserves the right to make check tests of the asphalt at the project site, and, if the asphalt is not in accordance with the certified analysis, the road will be rejected for certification. The contractor or developer, at their own expense, will be required to perform field tests measuring aggregate gradation and fracture, asphalt content, and compaction. Test results shall be in conformance with pavement mix design requirements and shall be stamped by an Alaska licensed civil engineer. G. Other specifications. The RSA will use the current editions of "Standard Specifications for Highway Construction," as adopted by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and the "Standard Specifications for Streets, Drainage, and Utilities," as adopted by the Municipality of Anchorage to address seal coat, prime coat, paving geotextile, recycled asphalt paving, and other specifications required to assure the RSA the road meets all quality control measures.

Prior to acceptance, the RSA board may make an exception to the standard requirements under any one of the following conditions: 2. 7 El Compliance with the standard is not economically feasible considering topography, location, and width of right -of -way; traffic volume; traffic flow; or other physical characteristics; The applicant did not cause the condition upon which the request for the exception is based; Substantial compliance with the standards is the most practical means of meeting the objectives of KPB 14.06, and strict compliance would result in rejection of the road for borough maintenance; or Alternate treatments or conditions, if required by the RSA board, will bring the road into substantial compliance with these standards. Board action. The burden is on the applicant to meet at least one of the above factors and demonstrate to the RSA board that granting the exception will not undermine the objectives of the standards. The board may deny, modify, or grant the requested exception. (Ord. No. 2008- 05(S), § 1, 5 -6 -08) 14.06.240. Road decertification. 0 Authority. Roads may be decertified for maintenance by the Borough as provided in this section. 91 Procedure. Any road decertification must comply with the following procedures: 1. 2. 0 9 5. Staff recommendation. The RSA director shall make a written recommendation to the RSA board with findings based on the standards set forth in KPB 14.06.240(C) and (D). Notice and hearing. A public hearing shall be held before the RSA board regarding decertification. Notice of the hearing shall be published once a week for four consecutive weeks prior to hearing with the last publication appearing within 14 days before the hearing date. A notice of the decertification hearing shall also be posted for a four -week period prior to the date of the first hearing at the beginning and ending points of the road proposed for decertification. Both posted and written notices shall invite public comment, state the name and phone number of a contact person regarding decertification information, state the date, place, and time of the public hearing, and a deadline for the submittal of written comments. Board action. If the RSA board finds that the proposed road meets the decertification standards set forth in KPB 14.06.240(C) and (D), and there has been no written objection to the decertification, it shall recommend decertification by resolution to the assembly. If written comment is received objecting to decertification, the RSA board shall not recommend decertification at this time, but shall require the RSA director to explore options to bring the road to Borough standards. Decertification alternatives. The RSA director or his designee may meet with property owners to discuss the necessary upgrades to avoid decertification. A special assessment district may be considered pursuant to KPB 14.31. The Borough may engage in cooperative efforts to the extent allowed by law with property owners to upgrade roads where property owners contribute material, equipment, professional services, and right -of -way for the project. The RSA director shall report at a subsequent meeting of the RSA board what efforts have been made to bring the road to RSA maintenance standards and if there are feasible alternatives to decertification. If the RSA board finds that there is no viable option presented for bringing the road to borough standards, the RSA board, by resolution, shall recommend to the assembly decertification of the road. C. Q ;.3 7. Decertification withdrawal. If the road has been brought to borough standards or the RSA director determines that a viable plan for bringing the road to borough standards has been proposed prior to the assembly hearing regarding decertification, the RSA director may withdraw the proposed decertification recommendation from assembly consideration. Assembly — Hearing required. A public hearing shall be held before the assembly regarding decertification in conjunction with consideration of a decertification resolution. Notice of the public hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation once a week during each of the two calendar weeks prior to the hearing. Assembly action. If the assembly finds that the road is eligible for decertification based on KPB 14.06.240(C) and (D), the assembly shall decertify the road. If the decertification resolution is adopted by the assembly between September 15 and May 15, the decertification shall not be effective until on or after May 15, unless the road has not received maintenance within five years prior to assembly decertification. Signage. Decertification shall not be effective until signage has been placed regarding discontinued maintenance if the road has received maintenance within five years prior to the assembly resolution. Dwellings standards. No road shall be decertified which provides the only vehicular access to dwellings. Dwellings are structures currently habitable by human beings, either for residential or recreational purposes. Additional standards. The following standards support, but each alone does not require, decertification: 2. Safety. The RSA will review whether maintenance can provide adequate grade, width for travel, room for snow removal, adequate sight distances and clear zone, and prevent accumulation of water and snow in the traveled right - of -way. The potential for accidents because of inadequate road design or inability to maintain the road to a safe standard on a regular basis shall be considered in a decertification determination. Road condition. Whether the types of road material, soils, terrain, road surface, and width of right -of -way do not meet borough road standards shall be considered in a decertification determination. E. F. 3. 5m 5. 7. Drainage problems. Whether a road has inadequate ditching, culverts, and drainage causing water to accumulate on the road surface or which undermines the road bed shall be considered in a decertification determination. Access. Whether roads are outside a dedicated right -of -way and whether substandard roads on the maintenance system are accessed by a state- or Borough- maintained road shall be considered in a decertification determination. Snow storage. Whether snow easements or places to store snow are inadequate to maintain sufficient travel width and vision shall be considered in a decertification determination. Funding. Excessive cost of maintaining a particular substandard road shall be considered in a decertification determination. Prior maintenance. Whether the road has ever received either summer or winter maintenance shall be considered in a decertification determination. Vacations. Notwithstanding KPB 14.06.240(B), a road that is vacated through the process set forth in KPB 20.28 shall be decertified for maintenance by resolution of the RSA board. Alternate route. Notwithstanding KPB 14.06.240(6), any portion of a road that has been maintained outside of dedicated right -of -way may be decertified for maintenance by resolution of the RSA board where the travel surface has been moved into the right -of -way and the new travel surface is certified for maintenance by the Borough. Every decertification approved by the RSA board under this subsection shall be submitted to the assembly for consideration. The assembly shall have 45 days from the date of the RSA board decertification resolution to veto decertification of a road under this subsection. (Ord. No. 2008- 05(S), § 1, 5 -6 -08) 14.06.250.

Administration contacted the Borough Addressing Officer for approval of the name "Mudhen ". Mudhen does not meet the Borough code requirements, but is preferred over Tustumena. The suffix will need to be changed from Street to Drive. The new name would then be "Mudhen Drive." The original request to change the name of Tustumena Street was sent to the City on March 12, 2013. Since that time, the Commission has been trying to find names that would meet approval of the Borough. When the original request was submitted there were four (4) roads within the Borough with the street name of Tustumena. At your June 12th meeting, Commissioner Knackstedt notified the Commission that two (2) of the streets had already been renamed leaving Tustumena Street in Kenai and the other Tustumena Lake Road in Kasilof (off Coho Loop). Attached are two (2) maps one is the ESN Service location map and the other shows the location and the approximate distance between the two (2) streets with the name Tustumena.
