Bryson expressed concern with the sewer and water for that area. Commissioner Nord asked why City Council didn't do anything with this parcel. Frazer reported the issue was never discussed for as long as he had been a council member. Frazer continued, Council had not been active in selling city property and these issues are only considered when such an inquiry as this is made. Nord thought the city shouldn't get involved.

YOU ARE BEING SENT THIS NOTICE BECAUSE YOU OWN/LEASE PROPERTY WITHIN 344 FEET OF THE PROJECT SITE OR ARE AN INTERESTED PARTY STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Date: February 21, 2001 Res: PZ01-10 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Jason & Angie Daniels P.O. Box 2295 Soldotna, AK 99669 262-5521 Requested Action: Legal Description: Street Address: KPB Parcel No.: Existing Zoning: Current Land Use: Land Use Plan: ANALYSIS Variance -Rear Setback Lot 16, Block 9, Inlet Woods Subdivision 1301 Equinox Way 04101227 RS-Suburban Residential Vacant Medium Density Residential General Information: KMC 14.20.180 details the intent and application process for Variance Permits. The Cade also outlines the review criteria that should be used by the Planning and Zoning Commission to determine if a variance should be granted. The Commission shall establish a finding that all of the fallowing conditions exist as a prerequisite to issuance of a variance permit: 1. Special conditions or circumstances are present which are peculiar to the land or structures involved which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same zoning district. 2. The special conditions or circumstances have not been caused by actions of the applicant and such conditions and circumstances do not merely constitute a pecuniary hardship or inconvenience. 3. The granting of the variance shall not authorize a use that is not a permitted principal use in the zoning district in which the property is located. 4. The granting of a variance shall be the minimum variance that will provide for the reasonable use of the land and/or structure. PZO1-10 Comments Page 2 5. The granting of a variance shall not be based upon other non- conforming land uses or structures within the same land use or zoning district. The Development Requirements Table notes additional requirements for yards of corner lots, "The minimum side yard on the street side, or platted right-of- way, or government easement of corner lot shall be the same as the minimum front yard required for that zone. The front yard setback requirement is 25 feet." This is a corner lot with two sides fronting streets requiring two front setbacks. Applicant is asking far a variance from the rear setback requirements. The required rear setback is 20 feet. Applicant is seeking a variance of 5-feet from the 20-foot rear setback. Applicant worked with the Building Official and Planning Administration to determine how to situate the proposed structure on the lot with the least adverse affects on adjoining property owners. Setbacks are determined from the front view of the structure. The garage faces Wedgewood Drive; however the front door to the house is off Equinox Way. It was decided that requesting afive-foot variance from the rear setback would be reasonable especially in light of the fact that if the front door faced Wedgewood Drive that setback would meet the side setback requirements. City Engineer: None. Building Official: Minimum front setback to garage per KMC 14.20.200 is 10'. Therefore, the distance noted to garage from the front property line of 22`2" is in compliance. However, the structure cannot be moved closer to the front property line due to living space over the garage that required a 25' setback from the front property line.

The result was that ten lots in the back of the subdivision were withheld for further review. The City recently received a request asking that these lots, Lots 18 - 27, be made available for sale. In addition, there are two lots in Inlet Woods Subdivision that the City acquired through foreclosure, Lot 12, Block 13 and Lot 8, Block 11, and the Administration would like a recommendation as to whether they are needed for a public use. KMC 22.05.010 states, "Disposal or sale of lands shall be made only when, in the judgment of the City Council, such lands are not required for public use." Sale would be by competitive bid at not less than the fair market value. Please review the attached map and make a recommendation as to whether the parcels are needed for a public purpose or whether they should be sold. The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed this issue at their March 1St meeting. A copy of their unapproved minutes is attached. The recommendation of both Commissions will be forwarded to the Council along with an ordinance for introduction at the March 21St Council meeting. Attachments '~ Wetlands 0 Properties Excluded ~ Subject Properties Exhibit "A" 5-b. Discussion -Skateboard Park /Design and Egxi Frates reported the Schaal District had liability concerns in regard to the students fabricating skateboard park units at the Commission's last meeting an would not be building the equipment. Steiner reported many of the students were discouraged that the school was unwilling to support the project. Frates noted the students would be building one unit but it just wouldn't be available for the city's use. It was reported Representative Mike Chenault was very interested in the skateboard project and would be meeting with city officials soon to discuss it. Councilwoman Porter suggested a meeting with the parents be scheduled as well to determine whether there will be support from them for the project. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding a location for the skateboard park. Frates recommended it be temporarily located at the south side of the Recreation Center, along the gym. In this location, the program could be better monitored, would be close to the police and fire departments, and the Teen Center snack bar would be accessible. Frates made it clear the skateboard park would not be supervised but it would be monitored. MOTION: Commissioner Gifford MOVED to recommend the skateboard park be temporarily located at the Teen Center. Student Representative Steiner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS 6-a. Discussion -Kenai Multipurpose Facility/Refrigeration Alternatives and Considerations. Frates referred to a memorandum included in the meeting packet discussing various refrigeration alternatives and considerations for the multipurpose facility. Discussion took place on commercial versus industrial systems and what rrxay work best for the facility. Discussion took place on the City buying out the LLC. Councilwoman Porter commented it had been discussed and would eventually happen. Commissioner Sandahl stated he believed buying out the LLC should be a top priority. 6-b. Discussion -- Inlet Woods Subdivision Lots Frates drew attention to the memorandum from Kim Howard (distributed at the beginning of the meeting) reporting a request that had been made asking if Lots 18-27 in Inlet Woods Subdivision could be made available for sale. The Parks Commission PARKS H~ RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 1, 2001 PAGE 2 ~~ ; was asked to review the lots in question and to determine whether they Lots are needed for public purpose or if they could be sold. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding whether or not the lots were needed for public purpose. Frates reminded the Commission that a motion was made on the issue on ' January 6, 2000 that stated any lots deemed unsuitable for building as a result of swampy area, should be recommended for use as a neighborhood park. Much discussion took place at that time with regard to the exact location of the low area and where the pond was situated. Frates pointed out the map included as Exhibit A accurately reflected exactly where the pond and low area was situated. It was noted that it was the corner lots the Commission considered for a park. Frates reported the Public Works Manager indicated there was a lot of junk in that area. Porter asked if it was Mr. Hall who was interested in purchasing the lots and Frates confirmed that it was. Porter reported Hall had submitted a request to purchase 56 lots in the back of Inlet Woods Subdivision and had already submitted his earnest money. Porter thought the appraisal of the properties would be coming received soon. Frates also drew attention to the black area on the map (Exhibit AJ which is a very low area and the drainage from the swamp runs into that area. Frates added, in the summer that particular area would be full of water and it freezes over in the winter. Frates continued, the Public Works Manager indicated the area would never be filled back in as that drainage is required. With that in mind, Frates asked the Commission if a piece of playground equipment or a park should be located next to the pond. MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend Lots IS-27 in Inlet Woods Subdivision be made available for sale. Commissioner Castimore SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Baxter Absent Gifford No Sandahl No Castimore Yes Steiner No Hultber Absent Wisniewski Yes MOTION FAILED. Porter confirmed that it was the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation. Commission that the lots not be sold. Sandahl stated that was correct. Discussion continued anal Steiner noted that an area like that would have a lot of mosquitoes. Wisniewski stated the area almost looked like a gravel pit. Castimore suggested Hall might want those lots in order to backfill them and added, the overburden from that area would be buried and not hauled off to the dump. Castimore thought the lots should be sold. PARKS 8v RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 1, 2001 PAGE 3 Discussion again took place on the number of lots that Hall requested t'''~ ~ e. Porter noted the original number was 56 but that had increased with the lot discussed. Wisniewski asked if Hall would even consider setting aside an area for~'~''_ park in that area. Frates stated that he didn't know and Sandahl suggested Frates ~ have the City Engineer have a recommendation for Council in terms of potential problems in that particular location. It was noted the issue would go to Planning and Zoning and then to Council, so many factors would be considered. Porter noted she would find out why Hall wants the lots. Councilwoman Porter drew attention to Lots 8 and 12 which were also discussed in the memo. The Commission was asked to determine whether or not those lots could be sold or if they were required for public purpose. During discussion it was noted those lots were not needed for public purpose. MOTION: Commissioner Castimore MOVED to recommend Lots 8 and 12 be made available for sale. Commissioner Sandahl SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Sandahl Yes Castimore Yes Steiner Yes Hultber Absent Baxter Absent Gifford Yes Wisniewski Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 7: REPORTS 7-a. Commission Chair -Wisniewski stated consideration should be given to rebuilding and relocating the recreation facility within the next five years and that perhaps the new facility could be located by the multipurpose facility. Discussion took place on the needs of the growing community and the benefits of having a new facility. It was suggested this item be added to the five--year plan. Frates was asked to have a list of items for review at the next meeting. 7-b. Director -- Director Frates reported the following items: • The Volunteer Reception would be held in April, however, a specific date had not been set. He suggested a proclamation for the Buffington family presented at the reception. • A meeting was held with the Chamber Director to discuss the Kenai/Soldotna Chamber clean-up. A substantial donation was made by Unocal in support of the program. The clean-up proposal was well received and everyone will participate.
