The Historic District' Board - 1998
t
FOREWORD
The City of Kenai's Preservation Plan has been an ongoing project of the Historic
District Board since its inception. Throughout the process, the Board realized that
the Preservation Plan would be a continuously changing document that may
require addendums or updates.
Tt should be noted that a large section of the Preservation Plan refers to the "Kenai
Townsite Historic District Survey Report" that was published in July of 1996 by
Preservation North. This document contains a wealth of information about the
Townsite Historic District and its history. Copies of this document are available
for review at the City of Kenai Public Library, the Kenai Visitors and Convention
Bureau, and City of Kenai administrative offices.
An appendix to the Preservation Plan is planned which will include items such as
local xesources, books, educational resources, etc.
The Historic District Board hopes this document will provide valuable information
on the City of Kenai's preservation efforts, both past, present, and future.

1. MISSION STATEMENT:
The purpose of the Kenai Historic District Board is to bring attention to the cultural and
historical features unique to the City of Kenai. In keeping with the purpose the Board shall:
• Make specific recommendations to the Planning & Zoning Commission relating
matters of historical and cultural concern, nominations of historic places for the
National Register, and protection of archeological resources.
• Enhance public knowledge about the City of Kenai's histary. This will include
knowledge of its indigenous people, environmental setting, architecture, resources,
and also its place in national and world affairs. These elements are not exhaustive
of the Board's potential.
• Disseminate knowledge through signage, brochures, maps, or whatever mediums
necessary and approved by the City of Kenai and the State Historic Preservation
Office.
• Review community improvements anal make suggestions where historical and
cultuxal impact can be expressed.
• Present a balanced interpretation of places and events.
• Stay within policy regarding Boards, Commissions, and Committees as dictated by
Ordinance KMC 14.20.105, Townsite Historic (TSH) Zoning District.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE HISTORIC CHARACTER OF KENAI FROM
PREHISTORY TO PRESENT:
The prehistory and recorded history of Kenai dates some 10,000 years beginning with the
Riverine Kachemak people about 5,000 B.C. An Athabaskan culture, the Dena'ina displaced the
Riverine Kachemak people about 1,000 A.D.
The first white contact came when Captain Jannes Cook rr~apped th.e body of water named aftex
him: Cook Inlet in 1791. During the same decade, the Russian fur trade expanded its operation
to the Kenai Peninsula and the Russian Orthodox Church began to baptize the native people into
Christianity.

Historic District Board
Preservation Plan
The purchase of Alaska by the United States in 1867 marked another milestone for Kenai,
followed by its Early Community Building Era from 1898-1925. The Kenaitze subsistence
lifeway overlapped several of those same years running from the turn of the century through
world War lI.
Postwar community growth naturally followed, including the discovery of oil in 1957. Alaska
became the 49`" state in 1959, and one year later, the City of Kenai became officially
incorporated.
(For complete details see pages 1150 of the "Kenai Townsite Historic District Survey Report. ")
3. SUMMARY OF PAST PRESERVATION EFFORTS:
The City of Kenai and the Kenai Historical Society are largely responsible for past preservation
efforts beginning with the .memorial to Fort Kenai constructed in 1967. The members of the
historical society managed the operation of the museum at Fort Kenay for the following ten
years, and through their dedicated efforts, successfully restored St. Nicholas Chapel and. four
cabins in the Oid Town area.
The City of Kenai established the Kenai Townsite Historic District by adopting an ordinance in
1993.
Tn 1995, the City of Kenai appointed a Townsite Historic District Board as a step toward a formal
preservation program and was granted Certified Local Government (CLG) status by the Alaska
State Office of History and Archaeology,
(For complete details see pages 47-49 of the "Kenai Townsite Historic District Survey Report. ")
4. SURVEY OF HISTORIC RESOURCES IN KENAI:
As the recipient of a i 995 Certified Local Government Grant, the City of Kenai's Historic
District Board contracted with a historian and an architect (Preservation North} to survey the
buildings, structures, objects, and sites within the boundaries of the Townsite Historic District.
Published in 1996, this report documents in detail the thirty-four properties along with
information on ten properties adjacent to the district boundaries. Using the criteria of the
National Register of Historic Places, the survey report has provided both the City of Kenai and
the State Office of History and Archaeology with the baseline information necessary for historic
preservation planning.

{Refer to the "Kenai Townsite Historic District Survey Report" for complete details.)
5. ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORIC CONTEXT OF KENAI:
Although several archaeological studies have been conducted at Dena'ina village sites, few
artifacts have been uncovered due to the Dena'ina belief that all natural resources be returned to
the earth or sea from which they originated. Nineteenth century journals and letters of European
and Russian explorers have provided primary sources of information describing the lifestyle of
the inhabitants.
{See pages l l -~9 of the "Kenai Townsite Historic District Survey Report" for complete details.)
6. HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND SITES ALREADY IDENTIFIED:
The thirty-four buildings and ten adjacent sites in the Townsite Historic District have been
documented with a short history, a basic description with tables, maps, historic photographs and
current photographs. Ananged by the historic themes and general non-historic categories, the
survey evaluates each property according to the National Historic Register guidelines. These
properties are now on file with the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey {AHRS).
See pages 56-151 of the "Kenai Townsite Historic District Survey Report. "
7. PROCEDURE FOR NOMINATION FOR FUTURE HISTORIC SITES:
Individual property owners may choose to nominate their property and/or buildings to the
National Register of Historic Places. The Historic District Board is willing to assist property
owners in preparing for the required local review. After the local review, the nomination is
forwarded to the State Oflace of History & Archaeology.
Attachment A, "The National Register of Historic Places Nomination Process" and Attachment
B, "National Register of Historic Places Rights of Owners to Comment andlor To Object to
Listing" provides detailed information on the nomination process. In addition, see pages 183
through 185 of the "KENAI TQWNSITE HISTORIC DISTRICT SUR VEY REPORT. "
The following materials are available for review at the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning

promote action. The City and its citizens are in the best position to kindle that development by
encouraging and supporting the following concepts:
• Implementing a master plan for TSH that has among its goals and objectives
historic exhibits. This may requixe land swaps of City property to obtain parcels of
land to accommodate the master plan.
• Providing more greenbelt common areas with developed connecting pathways,
preferably along view areas.
• Considex providing tax incentives to develop economic enterprises in TSH.
• Continuing the upgrade of streets with street signs and lighting of uniform design to
provide more visual unity in the district,
• Continuing participation with the Visitor's Center in developing and publicizing the
walking tour and specific exhibits in the Center.
• Enforcing the Townsite Historic District Zoning ordinance to assuxe buildings,
signage and other impxovements are in keeping with a historic setting.
• Continuing to landscape the City properties by keeping the area litter free and well
groomed.

FOREWORD
The Historic District Board drafted the City of Kenai's first Preservation
Plan. That plan was adopted in 1998. In 2001, the City of Kenai amended
the City's code and eliminated the Historic District Board and assigned the
duties of the Board to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The original Preservation Plan depended heavily on the "Kenai Townsite
Historic District Survey Repot"that was published in July of 1996. The
Commission continues to rely on that report for preservation activities in
the Townsite Historic District. This report contains a wealth of information
about the District and its history. Copies of this document are mailable for
review at the City of Kenai Public Library and City of Kenai administrative
offices.
