Pelch Homestead Subdivision Revised. The Site is located in T05N, R11 W Section 2, Seward Meridian, Alaska. The site consists of the material extraction site bounded on all sides by natural vegetation (see aerial photo attached). The site is accessed from Beaver Loop Road. Access to the site is restricted by a metal swing gate. Groundwater is found at the site at approximately I O feet (see survey information and soil exploration logs}. There are no wells within 300 feet of the proposed extraction limits and activities should not affect the water table or neighboring landowners. The proposed work will mine additional material from the existing footprint to create a pond. The pond would have a maximum depth of 8-10 feet and encompass 5 acres. The pond will have 4' horizontal to 1' vertical slopes until it reaches the 8 foot depth and floor of the pond flattens. The area sui7•ounding the pond will be reclaimed using the overburden stockpiled directly north of the excavation area. Slopes steeper than 2' horizontal to 1' vertical will be seeded. The estimated total volume to be mined prior to reclamation is 65,000 CY. This material will be used onsite and the majority sold offsite. 02-4015 d 0 0 ~ ry F ~ J ~ U ~ M- o-~z ~uWi Jr > ~W~ n~ ~°[QJQ2 '~ j4' Y"'~'~R .s= ppa; a (~J~ {O ~m~ ~ Q~~y1 i. ~~ ya ~ ~ F~ U1~ £ Wr O~ ~W ZJ QW l7W r //~i: Y{:` _ Z =~o~fl ~Qp~~ ~ Q3~ ~LL ~w°,a~'mn3~ I,~6fs.. s~~ ,t~~~ ~~ m W ~ X rnW iii ~~~~`~ am Q- n ~~ t0~ tgw_~r u~u ~ZW O J ~ ~ ~r~+ J~ _X GI~ ~~mW~ ~ ~ ~li~-+I~D~dI~l~u ~~q J ~EI I~~LL-~ ~n n_1N~~1[1J m~ .. ~ '~ ul7vF~ZF-~4`~J'n'~~Qa ~ 3S~ rY~O~ $ n p~ n r r i~ ~ a w u_ ~- d 'n 1- mQaap ~L~r ~ ~ a- ~ W ~~~~~~n~~QOJ~~~a~ ~~~~~no~3~ q ~~b ~ a~N~a~~'o ~ ~ ~n ~~Ja ~ aa~ g ~~ ~ l'1 W wnQ~Han~F Wm ~~IR~~RjmNrOa ~ Ja~~~~~W~~~ ~~Qa~~~~waf'U+Q~~Hp'r ~ ~ n W W~ JWa h.

Pelch Jr. 3456 Beaver Loap Rd Kenai, AK 99611 Conditional Use Permit for Extraction of Surface Material Dear City Council Members, It is my fathers wish to reclaim the abandoned gravel pit left by the State of Alaska. The gravel was requested by the state as a close resource to the new bridge access across the Kenai River. In 1992 my father was Inanted a conditional use permit; KPB Pazcel #0494449021, 3713 Beaver Loop Rd to reclaim the 8 acres of an old ugly gravel pit swamp, In 1998 Michael J. Pelch Sr.'s health at, ?8 yrs, was not favorable; strokes and memory loss. This is the reason for no annual reports and the closing of the permit. It is my intenet to fulfil my fathers plan and restore the beauty of the land. The goal is to have a 10 ft deep lake that is visibly attractive for wildlife and humans. The reclamation is to be completed in not more than five years. Regards, ~'~~ l~S~ d'~,1, a~= Michael J.

Sincerely, 1 0 Gino Del Frate Wildlife Biologist cc:Ted Spraker 3 Feb 13 WS Goals clean.doc ~~ Kenai Comprehensive Plan -Draft Chapter 2 Goals and Objectives for Community Planning The Goals and Objectives for the City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan are being developed with input from the citizens of Kenai, the Planning and Zoning Commission, city staff, and elected officials. The first step toward development of the Goals and Objectives was a Strategic Planning Workshop, whose results are presented in this draft documen#. This draft will be available for review and comment by the general public, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and city officials. The Strategic Planning Workshop The City sponsored a Strategic Planning Workshop, conducted by the consultant team, at the Kenai Senior Citizens' Center on October 27, 2009. In response to an open public invitation to participate, about 80 coca! citizens met together to identify the values and goals they held for Kenai and its future. Workshop participants were organized into work groups of six persons each. Work group members were invited to develop values and goals for each of three planning topics: • Quality of Life: the positive experience of day-to-day life in Kenai • Land Use: the desirable pattern of land uses within the city, and location of major public and private facilities and land uses • Public Improvements and Services: the community facilities and services desired to support existing and ongoing development. After the work groups recorded their statements of values and goals, each work group reported its results to the group as a whole. The reports revealed that the individual work groups shared many common ideas about what they valued about Kenai today, and about what they hoped Kenai might become. While there was broad consensus on many themes, different perspectives emerged on some issues. After the workshop, the consultant team reviewed all the work group reports. The consultant team organized the content of the reports into this draft statement of community planning goals and objectives. As this document undergoes further Iocaf review and discussion, it is expected that it wilt be expanded, revised and refined into a more accurate and comprehensive statement of the community planning goals and objectives supported by the citizens of Kenai. As noted above, the Strategic Planning Workshop focused workshop discussion on three planning topics -quality of life, land use, public improvements. In reality, these topics often overlap and interact. As a result, the goals and objective statements produced at the workshop often touched on two or even three topics. For clarity, this draft statement of goals and is organized according to major planning themes expressed by workshop participants. Draft Chapter 2 1 2113102 W.S. 3 Feb 13 WS Goals clean.doc Goals and Objectives Goal 1: Create an attractive, vital, cultural center, in downtown Kenai with a mix of private and public facilities and activities to benefit residents and visitors. Objectives: 1.1 Foster a compact, more intensive mix of private and public uses in the city center area; 1.2 Create a distinctive identity for Kenai's city center; 1.3 Develop a plan for the Daubenspeck Tract as the centerpiece for the city center; 1.4 Focus arts and cultural activities and facilities in the city center to promote Kenai as a cultural center for the Central Peninsula; 1.5 Provide more senior housing and related services near the city center; 1.6 Encourage renovation and reuse older underused commercial buildings in and near the city center area through incentives such as tax abatement programs; 1.7 Establish a more pedestrian friendly city center, with sidewalks and walkways maintained far year-round use; 1.8 Stabilize the Kenai River bluff to protect the viability of public and private investment in the city center; 1.9 Protect and enhance views of the Kenai River, Cook Inlet and tidal areas to ensure Kenai remains a city with a view. 1.10 Provide landscaping and beautification projects along the Spur Highway corridor, especially through the city center; and, 1.10.1 Foster and encourage small business, especially specialty or retail shops to locate in the downtown area; 1.10.2 Work with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce to assess small business needs; and, 1.11 Keep the downtown sidewalks removed of snow.

Some action items could be grants for renovationslenhancementsand how to ensure affordable rent for small businesses. Goal 2: Protect and enhance the livability of residential neighborhoods. Objectives: 2.1 Provide for a variety of distinct neighborhoods that offer a choice of urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles; 2.2 Establish a buffer between residential areas and commercial and industrial uses and activities, such as fencing or landscaping requirements; 2.3 Set aside open spaces or neighborhood parks and retain natural vegetation in new residential subdivisions; Draft Chapter 2 2 2113102 W.S. 3 Feb 13 WS Goals clean.doc 2.4 Foster and encourage distinct neighborhood identification;2.5 Create neighborhood parks and other places where neighbors can gather for communal activities; 2.6 Foster and encourage through federal and state agencies affordable housing with low cost energy services; 2.7 Locate Community Correctional Residential homes outside of residential neighborhoods; 2.8 Encourage developers to construct subdivisions with paved roads, sidewalks and other amenities; and, 2.9 Impacts of high-density subdivisions on schools and public facilities and services should be addressed. Goal 3. Meet the needs of Kenai's growing senior population. Objectives: 3.1 Facilitate conducting a feasibility study for a community assisted living facility; 3.2 Research development of a variety of additional senior housing near the Senior Center; 3.3 Encourage health care businesses and a variety of shopping, cultural, recreational, and other leisure activities to be located within walking distance of senior housing complexes; and, 3.4 Provide safe, year-round walkways near facilities for seniors; and, 3.5 Encourage heated garages or carports are located near senior housing. Goal 4. Residential and Commercial Development Objectives: 4.1 Promote in-fill development of vacant lots in subdivisions already served with utilities; 4.2 Support and promote reuse and renovation projects of vacant or underused aging commercial buildings along Spur Highway;4.3Allow development, with guidelines, of new highway-oriented commercial development along the Spur Highway corridor; 4.4 Evaluate potential rezoning areas along the Spur Highway corridor; and, 4.5 Provide landscaping and beautification projects along the Spur Highway corridor. Goal 5. Provide appropriate city facilities and levels of service. Objectives: 5.1 Improve snow plowing and removal from roads, sidewalks, and improved trails; Coordinate with the State Department of Transportation to improve snow removal on State highways; Establish a difference between primary and secondary roads; Draft Chapter 2 3 2113102 W.S. 3 Feb 13 WS Goals clean.doc 5.2 Improve street cleaning after break-u p; 5.3 Actively enforce municipal regulations; Note: Procedures for zoning enforcement need to be developed. Actions: Research hiring a zoning enforcer or investigator. Most of the problems are not zoning regulations but Title 9 and 12, i.e. junk cars, garbage. Goal should be to protect property rights. 5.4 Continue with existing city procedures regarding paving unimproved roads. Note: Regulations need to be written regarding when paving in new subdivisions should be required.

Draft Chapter 2 5 2113102 W.S. 2 Feb 13 WS Goals com are.doc Kenai Comprehensive Pian -Draft Chapter 2 Goals and Objectives for Community Planning The Goals and Objectives for the City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan are being developed with input from the citizens of Kenai, the Planning and Zoning Commission, city staff, and elected officials. The first step toward development of the Goals and Objectives was a Strategic Planning Workshop, whose results are presented in this draft document. This draft will be available far review and comment by the general public, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and city officials. The Strategic Planning Workshop The City sponsored a Strategic Planning Workshop, conducted by the consultant team, at the Kenai Senior Citizens' Center on October 27, 2001. In response to an open public invitation to participate, about 80 local citizens met together to identify the values and goals they held for Kenai and its future. Workshop participants were organized into work groups of six persons each. Work group members were invited to develop values and goals for each of three planning topics: • Quality of Life: the positive experience of day-to-day life in Kenai • Land Use: the desirable pattern of land uses within the city, and location of major public and private facilities and land uses • Public Improvements and Services: the community facilities and services desired to support existing and ongoing development. After the work groups recorded their statements of values and goals, each work group reported its results to the group as a whole. The reports revealed that the individual work groups shared many common ideas about what they valued about Kenai today, and about what they hoped Kenai might become. While there was broad consensus on many themes, different perspectives emerged on some issues. After the workshop, the consultant team reviewed all the work group reports. The consultant team organized the content of the reports into this draft statement of community planning goals and objectives. As this document undergoes further local review and discussion, it is expected that it will be expanded, revised and refined into a more accurate and comprehensive statement of the community planning goals and objectives supported by the citizens of Kenai. As noted above, the Strategic Planning Workshop focused workshop discussion on three planning topics -quality of life, land use, public improvements. In reality, these topics often overlap and interact. As a result, the goals and objective statements produced at the workshop often touched on two or even three topics. For clarity, this draft statement of goals and is organized according to major planning themes expressed by workshop participants.

A separate compilation of all the ideas generated at the workshop can be found in an accompanying document also posted on the City of Kenai website and available from the Planning Department. Issue #1 Kenai's Identity "In '15-20 years, how would you like to describe where you live to someone who has never been here before?" Ke conce is ex ressed b artici ants: • Small town; rural; friendly • Hub of the Peninsula -for trade, transportation, recreation, education and culture • Attractive • Diverse economy based on private sector rather than government • Rich cultural and historic heritage • Cultural facilities and opportunities • The Kenai River • Accessibility to nature -the river and coastline • Paved, well-lit streets and safe neighborhoods Issue #2 City Center and Kenai Spur Highway "What do we want for the City Center and Kenai Spur Highway Corridor?" Ke conce is ex ressed b artici ants: • Architectural and design standards: face lifts for old buildings and higher design standards for new buildings • Mixed development opportunities: retail and residential where compatible • Concentrated retail areas • Concentrated industrial areas • Redevelopment as well as new development: infill and re-use older buildings and malls • Multiple city centers -for example, create two smaller city centers and connect the centers and fill in the gap between the two centers -creating an long or oval-shaped city center • A defined purpose for the city center and potential appropriate land uses - business, government, arts, recreation, for example • Buffering and screening along Kenai Spur Highway for commercial uses • Pedestrian-friendly, walkable commercial areas March 23, 2002 Workshop Synopsis 1 Apri! 3, 2002 • Landscaping; beautification; property maintenance • Enforced building standards and codes Issue #3 Millennium Square "What are the key elements for a successful Millennium Square?" Ke conce is identified b artici ants: • An overall concept plan for the property prior to development • Maximized public return on the investment • Public access to coast and trail system incorporated into development plans • City takes an active role in the development processlcareful consideration of all options • Uses identified to include: convention cen#er, senior facilities (assisted living, recreation), retail businesses and services, art galleries, hotelllodging, and restaurants • Designed to be the "crown jewel" of Kenai and the state -aesthetic, no inappropriate uses, include views in the design, and links to trail system, bluff, and other retail uses Issue #4 Cost-effective Development Patterns "What are the issues regarding development in Kenai?" The following list provided a "starting point" for discussion lay participants. • Existing land inventory of improved subdivision lots -- how can use be encouraged? • Infill development -use of existing buildings • Mixed uses and screening requirements • Role of subdivision developers in utility extensions • New commercial development standards Ke conce is identified b artici ants: • Continue to require development to be self-sustaining - buildersldevelopers bear costs of constructing the necessary infrastructure • Amenities included in new subdivision development to include: paved streets with curb and gutter; water and sewer, natural areas for parks, separation of incompatible uses • Existing codes enforced in already subdivided areas: address incompatible uses and violations of code (kennels, junk cars), clean up urban blight, pave unpaved streets (curb and gutter), • incentives for replatting existing small lot subdivisions to create more buildable lots identified and communicated to the public • Prescriptive development requirements in the city codes evaluated - is there room for flexibility in the standards without relaxing them too much? • Mixed use opportunities considered --more retail in residential areas and residential in commercial areas instead of strip commercial with residential behind March 23, 2002 Workshop Synopsis 2 Agri! 3, 2002 • Examine the cost of new development v. the cost of decaying properties • Investigate tax incentives or tax relief for new businesses occupying existing buildings Issue #5 Quality of Life "What are you willing to support to create the quality of life you have identified today?" Key_concepts identified by participants: • Unsure if citizens are willing to pay for the services they want or may be required to have -communication and education will be key • Retention of the greatest return {value} on dollars spent by the City • Public facilities and services: drainage, snow removal, road maintenance, sewer and water, library, museum, recreation, parks and trails • Public safety: police, fire and EMS • Landscaping and beautification standards improved and enforced • Linking the city and development to the natural setting with buffers, greenstrips, parks • Incorporating natural setting into development design -orientation to river and coast • Re-use of existing buildings and renovating decaying areas March 23, 2002 Workshop Synopsis 3 Apri! 3, 2002 !~ m _~ • L .... ~ V ~ C C ~ ~ m Y v ~ ~ ~ o 0 0 ~ c~ V ^ N a.. ~ m f9 ttf r~-+ '~ {Cj N Q U p O ~ ~ •° a. ~ ~ 3 a i ~, vi o ~~ Q v a~ ~. i .~ N ~ O ~ ~ w+ •~ s ~ C N ._ ° L t4 ~ N N ~ ~ ~ •N N 'j U E as ~ s~ N _ ~ N ~ ~, ~ a ~ ~ ~ A O ° ~ (ti3 {a t a!

State Historic Preservation Office Each state has a historic preservation office, established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. ~~'ith the National Park Service, the state historic preservation offices administer a national preservation program. .'~~ Chilkoot Lake, 1992 Alaska's State Historic Preservation Office ~--~~ (SHPO) is located in the Office of History and ~' Archaeology, Division of Parks and Outdoor . ~ Recreation. Department of Natural Resources. .SPIHt'I',~~,~~;~~I -~ «. u~ . T'he SHPO oversees programs to identify. eval- irate. and protect Alaska's important historic and a h l i l rc aeo og ca resources, In addition, the ~~ ~ office carries out the historic preservation _.~ ~ ~~ e programs of the State of Alaska. Under the National Historic Preservation Act. the Governor of each state appoints a state historic preservation officer. In Alaska the chief of the Office of History and Archa°ology serves as the SHPO. The Governor also appoints members of a state review hoard. The Alaska Historical Commission is that entity. Alaska Historical Commission The Alaska Historical Commission is a forum for citizens to participate in development of state history policy. Members advise the Governor on programs concerning histary and prehistory, historic sites and buildings, and geographic names: review documentation for the National Register of Historic Places and proposals Pram Cenilied Local Governments: and lead development of the state historic preservation plan. The nine-member commission includes the T.ieutenant Governor, citizens trained in history, architecture, and archaeology, a representative of Native ethnic groups, two members recommended by the Alaska Historical Society, a member from the general public, and the State Historic Preservation Officer. Survey Identification of historic resources is essential to an effective historic preservation program. The SHPO has a survey program to identify Alaska's historic properties. Surveys identify and gather infonration on historic buildings, archaeological sites, landscapes, and historic districts.

The surveys, along with those conducted by local preserva- tion commissions and state and federal agencies, are main- tained in an inventory known as the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey {ARKS). To date, the inventory contains information about more than 25,000 historic and archaeolog- ical sites, buildings, and structures around the state. The Alaska Archaeological Survey unit of the office conducts historic and archaeological surveys and excavations in coop- eration with local, state, and federal agencies, universities, and museums. The SHPO also issues field archaeology permits to qualified persons to conduct investigations on slate lands. National Register of Historic Places A cornerstone of the 5HP0's work is the National Register of Historic Places, the country's official list of important build- ings, sites, districts, structures, and objects worthy of preserving. Buildings, designed landscapes, archaeological sites, and historic districts can be of national, state, or local signifi- cance. Listing in the National Register acknowledges the historic importance of a property, provides some protection from adverse impacts of public works projects, and makes it possible for a private owner to take advantage of tax credits For rehabilitating income-producing historic properties. While designation does not automatically provide financial assis- tance or protection from the pressures of development, it is a critical first step in the preservation of a property. rservation commission, contractor, or student of history or for information and assistance. The State Historic Rreservatton Office sponsors: • Heritage, a monthly electronic news update about preservation activities. • Alaska Project Archaeology, an education curriculum for students irl the 4th-7th grades. • Historic Preservation Series, technical guidelines for Historic Preservation Fund and State of Alaska cultural resources ptn- grams. • Workshops for federal cultural resources personnel and contrac- tors addressing review and compliance issues. + Workshops for Certified Local Governments. • With outer government agencies and private statewide groups, pro- motes Alaska Archaeology Week and Historic Preservation Week. Each state's historic preservation office nominates properties to the \ational Register that meet the criteria and have adequate physical integrity for historic designation, As of September ?001, the National Register includes more titan 3C~0 Alaska properties. encompassing mare than 1,200 indi- vidual sites. structures, buildings, and objects. Protecting Our Resaurces As the leading advocate for preservation of Alaska's historic resources. the SHPO, in close partnership with local, state, and federal agencies, lndiam tribes, and private citizens, works diligently ro protect them. The SHPO guides preserva- tion planning statewide and reviews thousands of projects each year to make sure that they comply with federal and state lan-s intended to ensure that historic properties are not harmed.

Provide incentives to encourage historic preservation. G. Encourage appropriate treaimenr of historic resources. Federal and state laws require their agencies to consider the effects of their actions on historic properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This is frequently called Section 14G review. When a proposed project will affect a hisroric property, agencies consult with OHA to seek ways to avoid harmful impacts. Sometimes plans cannot avoid harm to sites, and the agencies work to save information by archaeological excavation or recording architectural and historic information.

During those meetings, several issues were discussed. Several of the issues were common problems among the pit operations and some were individual issues. After the meetings, it was agreed that the City would consider options and contact each of you as to the decision. The following is general information and may or may not pertain to every pit. Attached to this information will be a letter specifically addressing individual operations and what must be done to comply. Kenai Municipal Code regulates pit operation within the City. One of those requirements is that the boundaries of the proposed excavation be at least 200 feet from any road or right-of way and 150 feet from surrounding property Iines. It was generally agreed that requiring a 150-foot buffer between adjoining pits was unnecessary. Administration is preparing an ordinance to remove this requirement from the code. It is assumed that the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council will approve the amendment. If the amendment should fail, it will be necessary to determine how to mitigate the current encroachments into this buffer zone. Each operator that is affected by this section of the code will be informed if any further requirement far compliance is required. This recommended amendment will not modify the required buffer between adjoining properties that are not gravel pits. If those buffers have been breached, pit operators will have five years to reclaim the buffer and comply with the code requirements. During the five-year time period, the yearly reports must specifically address the encroachment and provide photographic documentation of the reclamation and an estimate of the number of feet reclaimed during the previous year. City Administration does not feel comfortable at this time changing the required 200-foot buffer for roads or right-of ways. There are some operations that have encroached into this buffer area. Again, pit operators will have five years to reclaim the buffer and comply with the code requirements. During the five-year time period, the yearly reports must specif caliy address the encroachment and provide photographic documentation of the reclamation and an estimate of the number of feet reclaimed during the previous year. April 11, 2002 GRAVEL PTT OPERATIONS -CITY OF KENAI Page 2 Another issue that was discussed is that the code requires either natural or artificial screening of the excavation operation "to obscure the entire excavation from sight of roadways and inhabited areas." Artificial screening could be planting trees or using over- burden to create a landscaped screen. Other methods maybe acceptable. If your pit operation is visible, you will be required to submit a plan for screening and the plan must be complete in five years. The status of the screening must be addressed in the yearly report and documentation provided as to the progress. There was discussion whether the City should require operators to mark their property lines so that buffers could be measured. At this time, the City believes this would be an unnecessary expense and will not pursue this any further. Attached is the information regarding your individual pit operation. If you have questions about the requirements for your operation, please contact me to schedule an appointment. T can be reached at 283-7535, extension 235. The City appreciates your cooperation in this situation.

At that meeting, issues involving gravel pit operations within the City were discussed. It was agreed that after City administration had time to review and decide a course of action, operators would be informed of the decision. Attached is a letter advising you of the City's decision regarding the operation of the existing gravel pits. The following information specifcally relates to your operation. Specifically, your operation has operated out of compliance with the required 150-foot buffer between adjoining properties since it was granted. It was noted in our discussion that even though the Commission approved the pit knowing the buffer would be breached, they did not have the authority to ignore a municipal code. As noted in the attached letter, the City has decided to propose amending this section of the code to remove the required 150-foot i;uifer between existing pits. If the amendment is approved, you will not be required to make any changes to your operation on the property line between your property and the Foster property. If the amendment should fail, you will be notified and a plan to reclaim the area will be required. Also discussed with you were the required buffers on the other property lines. At the time of our meeting you advised you had not breached any of those buffers; however, thought you were allowed to excavate to your rear property line. Administratively, we have decided it in the best interest of the City not to change the required buffer areas for the other property lines. Because of this, you must maintain at least a 150-foot excavation buffer from other property lines and at least a 200-foot buffer from right-of--ways. If you have questions regarding any of these requirements, please contact me. You will be informed outcome of the proposed code amendment. I can be reached at 283-7535 extension 235.

Attached is a letter advising you of the City's decision regarding the operation of the existing gravel pits. The following information specifically relates to your operation. Foster Construction operates two gravel pit operations in the City of Kenai. Both of these operations have breached the required 150-foot buffer from adjoining property lines. As noted in the attached letter, the City has decided to propose amending this section of the code to remove the required 1 SO-foot buffer between existing pits. If the amendment is approved, you will not be required to make any changes to your operations. If the amendment should fail, you will be notified and a plan to reclaim the areas will be required. Your operation at the Tract 6 location has excavated into the required buffer on the rear property line. As noted in the attached letter, the City has decided not to modify this requirement. Instead, you will have fzve years to reclaim the excavated area. Your yearly report this year must provide a plan far the reclamation. In the reports for the next five years, you must provide documentation of the amount of area that has been reclaimed. The excavated area must be reclaimed no Iater than September 30, 2007'. You should measure your excavation at the Tract 6 site to insure that the required buffers that have not been breached are left intact. Also, the area must be screened so that it is not visible from Beaver Laop Raad. There was an area that was breached a couple years ago. Review this site and insure that it has re-vegetated so that the excavation area is screened. If necessary, you will be required to submit a plan for screening and the plan must be complete in five years. The status of the screening must be addressed in the yearly report and documentation provided as to April 11, 2002 Foster Page 2 the progress. Artificial screening could be planting trees or using aver-burden to create a landscaped screen. Other methods may be acceptable. When you have formulated a plan, a meeting should be scheduled to discuss the proposal to determine if it will meet screening requirements. The other sire, near Angler Acres, has had little activity in the past few yeazs and the reclamation has begun. However, because activity continues at the site, current code buffers must be restored. Any current activity must be screened. It will be necessary for you to review the site and present a screening plan based on future planned excavation. Because of the status of this site, it may be best to schedule a meeting to determine future plans for the site and review the reclamation plan. Any code violations at the site must be adjudicated within_ five years or the site reclaimed and the pit closed. If you have questions regarding any of these requirements, please contact me.

Cone P.O. Box 263 Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mr. Cone: RE: PZ-GF -Conditional Use Permit -Extraction of Natural Resources This letter is follow-up to the meeting we held with you in October of last year. At that meeting, issues involving gravel pit operations within the City were discussed. It was agreed that after City administration had time to review and decide a course of action, operators would be informed of the decision. Attached is a letter advising you of the City's decision regarding the operation of the existing gravel pits. The following information specifically relates to your operation. The City recognizes that your pit has been in operation since the 1970's and was "grandfathered" when'the City assumed zoning powers. The "grandfather" status does not provide immunity to the City's code requirements and the pits must be operated in conformance to the City's code. Your operation covers several parcels of land. On some of these parcels, excavation has crossed the property lines. As noted in the attached letter, the City has decided to propose amending this section of the code to remove the required 150-foot buffer between existing pits. If the amendment is approved, you will not be required to make any changes to your operations. If the amendment should fail, you will be notified and a plan to reclaim the areas will be required. Your properties that abut the City of Kenai and State DNR lands run along a section line. Section lines provide access easements. The Kenai municipal code requires a 200-foot excavation buffer from any public road or right-of--way. Because this easement is considered aright-of--way, a 200-foot excavation buffer is required. The required buffer has been encroached and must be reclaimed. As noted in the attached letter, the City has decided not to modify this requirement. Instead, you will have five years to reclaim the excavated area. Your yearly report this year must provide a plan for the reclamation. In the reports for the next five years, you must provide documentation of the amount of area Cone page 2 that has been reclaimed. The excavated area must be reclaimed no later than September 30, 2007. Future excavations on your properties must maintain the required buffers. In the past, the City has received complaints from Mr. Compton concerning the buffer requirement for the property that adjoins his property. For clarification, no excavation may take place within i 50 feet of his property and any operation must be screened from his property. If you are unsure about those requirements, schedule an appointment to meet with me and we will review your operation. Over the years, your operation has removed all vegetation and screening from adjoining properties and Beaver Loop Road. Kenai Municipal Code requires that no part of the excavation operation may be visible from public roadways or inhabited areas. You will be required to submit a plan for screening and the plan must be complete in fve years. The status of the screening must be addressed in the yearly report and documentation provided as to the progress. Artificial screening could be planting trees or using over- burden to create a landscaped screen. Other methods maybe acceptable. When you have formulated a plan, a meeting should be scheduled to discuss the proposal to determine if it will meet screening requirements. if you have questions regarding any of these requirements, please contact me. You will be informed outcome of the proposed code amendment. I can be reached at 283-7535 extension 235.
