Elizabeth Slane, resident of the borough, spoke against Ordinance No. 2020-24. Ms. Slane opposes the ordinance as it may affect her husband’s ability to work.

Chair Muehling opened public testimony. The following individuals testified via Zoom: Lance Roberts Questions to Director Nelson from commissioners were about un-platted parcels and lot sizes and subdivision code. Public Hearing Closed MAIN MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend that the FNSB Assembly adopt Ordinance No. 2020-10 with the two proposed amendments from Community Planning made by Commissioner Perreault and seconded by Commissioner Sims. Commissioner Perreault spoke in favor of the forward thinking, problem solving amendments and changes to code, he intended to vote in favor. Commissioner Sims spoke in favor of fine tuning the code to address unforeseen problems of the original ordinance. AMENDED MOTION: I move to add a third amendment to strike lines 80 and 81 from the draft ordinance 2020-10 made by Commissioner Sims and seconded by Commissioner Koester. Commissioner Sims stated in reference to striking the platting provision, recalled the difficulty of an appeal dealing with tax lots and commented that Title 17 should have its platting amnesty clause on its own. Commissioner Koester recalled the appeal and discussion of removing the line in the ordinance, in favor of improving the amnesty process. Commissioner Guinn stated he was in favor of amendment 3 of the amended motion. Most of the problems of the plats were created years ago and have been surfacing, keep in mind this is amnesty prior to 2010. Commissioner Abbey stated her support of the third amendment of the motion and comments from Commissioner Guinn, thanked Commissioner Sims for making the motion. Borough Attorney Billingsley advised the commission on the amended motion and the prescriptive nature of Title 29 in regard to platting, and amnesty code previsions. Commissioner McComas-Roe called the attention of the commission to Rule 20 of the Planning Commission, no non-member of the commission should be permitted to speak when the commission is in a discussion with a motion on the table, except by a consent of the majority of the commissioners. This is the third or fourth time he has brought it up.

Commissioner Sims asked for clarification if a dually recorded subdivision plat is what is referenced in Title 29 vs. aliquot tax lots. He did not believe it was a dually recorded subdivision plat. Commissioner Kenna referred to an ordinance before the commission the week prior. The intention of the ordinance was not to allow people who intentionally acted against the rules to get off scot-free. Because the line, it was not intentional or willful, was not clear at the start it was interpreted over broadly. The fix is not to delete it, but simply add language to it, to show that the intention of the original ordinance was to, according to Mr. Roberts, address the intentions of the person making the application. He was not in favor of the amended motion and will not recommend it. Commissioner Muehling stated he does not want to see amnesty relief for a violation that was self-created, especially within the last 10 years. Does not want to see the authority of the Platting Board diminished, which he thinks would happen with the amendment. ROLL CALL (AMENDED MOTION)

DATE: June 9, 2020

(907) 459-1260 * FAX (907) 205-5169

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2020-10: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING FNSBC Title 18 TO ALTER AND CLARIFY THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR AMNESTY RELIEF FOR PROPERTIES WITH CERTAIN EXISTING CODE VIOLATIONS.

Purpose and Intent

The attached ordinance was referred by the FNSB Assembly to the Planning Commission for recommendation (see Attachment 1). The proposed ordinance is sponsored by the FNSB Administration. The intention of this ordinance is to amend FNSBC 18.116 for the amnesty relief criteria to allow more flexibility in granting amnesty for existing code violations of setbacks and lot size.

Background

In July of 2010 the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law bringing about changes to financial regulations in the United States. Locally the impact has been more strict requirements by the finance lending industry, including an unwillingness to lend on a structure or lot that is not in compliance with borough zoning regulations. Many of these violations have existed for years, or even decades, passed through multiple owners and now the current property owners are having difficulty obtaining financing on said property.

Over the last 5 years, FNSB Community Planning Department saw a significant increase in both grandfather rights affirmation requests and variance applications for lots and structures that have already been constructed. Due to strict criteria for variances, it is very difficult for the Planning Commission to approve most of these variance requests. Property owners with violations to the numerical standards in FNSBC 18 had little recourse if they were not eligible for "grandfather rights" or could obtain a variance to bring their lot or structure into compliance.

In 2016, Ordinance No. 2016-09 was adopted that amended Title 18 by adding an amnesty relief chapter (see Attachment 2) which provided "relief to property owners from certain zoning violations in

137

52

existence prior to July 21, 2010 and that do not impact health safety and welfare ... " Amnesty relief applies only to specific numerical standards, primarily yard setbacks and lot area. Currently, a property/structure is eligible for amnesty relief if it meets the provisions listed below:

1. It existed as of July 21, 2010; 2. It was not intentional or willful; 3. It does not pose a danger to the health, safety and welfare of borough residents; 4. If a yard setback violation, it is not greater than 50% of the required setback or a minimum

depth of 5 feet, whichever is greater; 5. If a lot area violation it is not greater than 50% of the required area; and 6. The building of lot complies with all other FNSB platting and zoning requirements, including use.

The criterion of "intentional or willful" is further elaborated upon in FNSBC 18. l 16.030(B) which states that if the violation is less than 50%" it is presumed to be "in good faith", or in other words, not intentional or willful. If a violation is between 50% and 75% of the required area or setback as stated in 18.116.030(A)(5) and (6), a finding on "intentional or willful" must be made as the result of an administrative hearing.

Consistency with the FNSB Regional Comprehensive Plan

Land Use Goal 1 of the FNSB Regional Comprehensive Plan is to "recognize that the foremost aspect of land use involving private property is the retention and maintenance of private property rights", and Strategy 2 is to "work for community end goals with a minimum impact and disruption of individual private property rights." The proposed criteria as revised in eligibility section still differentiates between a violation that could impact the health, safety, and welfare of borough residents; and excludes such a violation from being eligible for amnesty relief.

Analysis

FNSB Community Planning supports the purpose and intent of Ordinance No. 2020-10. This ordinance proposes two changes to the amnesty relief eligibility criteria. The first change is the elimination of the " intentional or willful" criterion (Line 73). The original reasoning for the current language is that a property owner who knowingly and intentionally violated the code should not be granted amnesty for the self-created violation. However, interpretation of this criterion once adopted was not only that the violation could not be "intentional or willful" on the part of the current property owner, but also of any past property owner who originated or expanded the violation as well. Since many of these properties have changed hands many times, it is impossible to determine the intent and willfulness of (often deceased) property owner(s) decades prior. Rather than make the distinction between current and past property owners, it was advised to remove the criterion entirely. Removal of this criterion could allow a property owner to obtain amnesty relief for a violation that was self-created.

2 138

53

Community Planning recommends an amendment to address an overlooked remainder in code if this criterion is eliminated. FNSBC 18.116.030(6) should be deleted in its entirety because it only refers to the "intentional or willful" criterion, and therefore is no longer needed.

The second change that this ordinance proposes is the reduction of minimum side yard setback (for amnesty relief purposes only) to not less than 3 feet, rather than the existing language of not less than 5 feet. This change will give some additional flexibility for existing structures in the single-family (SF) and two-family (TF) zones. Structures in these two zones already have a 5 foot minimum side yard setback; therefore these properties are effectively prohibited from amnesty relief for side yard setbacks. These residential zones are generally more urban in nature and are perhaps most suited for smaller yard setbacks. Historically side yard setbacks in several residential zones have ranged from 0 to 15+ feet, and have frequently fluctuated multiple times over the last 70 years, so the existing development pattern shows a variety of different side yard setbacks in these neighborhoods. This change to the minimum side yard setback for amnesty relief is generally consistent with existing development patterns in the SF and TF zones.

Community Planning is proposing another amendment to clarify the amnesty relief application process, namely which applications go to hearing and the public notice distance for amnesty relief requests. With the removal of the "willful and intentional" criterion, the method by which applications are determined to go to hearing or not, is no longer functional. The proposed amendment merely spells out the previous distinction of which applications go to hearing as stated in FNSBC 18.116.040(6) and in 18.116.030(6), which is proposed to be deleted. Currently, amnesty relief requests that are presumed to be in good faith (violation less than 50% of the required size, area or distance) do not go to hearing. Therefore, with the proposed amendment, the process will remain the same; the distinction is merely stated in a slightly different manner.

In addition, this proposed amendment reduces the mailing distance for public notice of an amnesty relief hearing. Currently the mailing distances are 1,000 feet inside city limits and 2,000 feet in the borough. While these distances work admirably for conditional uses and other Planning Commission applications, they are excessive for administrative hearing items. Frequently property owners call the office confused as to why they are receiving these notices and requesting to be removed from the "mailing list". In the last several years, only a few adjacent or very close neighbors have testified in amnesty relief hearings.

The two amendments proposed by Community Planning are:

Amendment #1: Delete FNSBC 18.116.030 (B)

Amendment #2: Amend FNSBC 18.116.040(8) as follows:

B. Within 15 days after the filing of the owner affidavit, the department shall schedule an administrative hearing. Notice of the application and the hearing shall be provided using the procedures set forth in FNSBC 18.104.0l0(C)(l) and (2), except that public 3

139

54

Ordinance No. 2020 - 20 - 1C

Appropriating Grant Funds from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and a Match from the General Fund, for the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Trailheads and Trail Access Improvement Phase V Project

Attached for your approval is an ordinance amending the FY 2020-21 budget by appropriating funds totaling $76,610 for trail access improvements at Tanana Lakes Recreation Area.

This ordinance appropriates $58,008 in 2020 Department of Justice funding to the Special Revenue fund for the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) for first responders.

Specifically, Emergency Operations Department plans to purchase the following PPE:

• Surgical facemasks (250 boxes of 50 each)

• Personal isolation kits (550)

• Disposable gowns (3,000)

• Nitrile disposable gloves (525 boxes of 50 each)

These items will be purchased and then will be warm/climate-control stored within the Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB) to be utilized by first responders for response to any coronavirus outbreak that may occur within the FNSB.

Due to many suppliers being out of stock and unknown pricing adjustments, these figures and quantities may need to be adjusted after formal procurement of items. Shipping costs to Alaska vary greatly, depending on the physical location of the responsive company.

The purchase would support construction of a new transit vehicle maintenance garage; a project which has received Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant funding in the amount of $12,800,000.00.

The Borough's existing transit facility is nearly 45 years old, presenting significant maintenance issues, substantial thermal deficiencies and lacking adequate space as needed for its mission. Construction of a new facility had initially been planned on the existing borough owned site at 3175 Peger Rd., but soil conditions were found to be inadequate for construction during the design stage. The FTA has approved moving the project site.

Borough owned land in the immediate area of the current transit site on Peger Rd., and beyond, was analyzed for potential use as an alternate construction location. While most Borough land is located outside of the urban center of Fairbanks, a number of retained parcels were considered. Specifically, portions of South Davis Park were evaluated and found to lack suitable construction soils or economical access to natural gas distribution mains. A number of parcels marketed for sale in Fairbanks were also analyzed and found to be inadequate in size, road access, or with regard to the nearby availability of natural gas distribution mains.

The parcel proposed for purchase is roughly 8.4 acres in size, located in an area zoned as GU-1, within an area that is predominantly used for industrial purposes. It was selected partially on the basis of availability of natural gas for heating and transit

103

vehicles. This project is the initial phase of a comprehensive development that includes the future transition from diesel fueled vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled vehicles. The current scope of the construction project is to provide for natural gas heat with a heating fuel backup system.

The parcel is bounded by Lathrop Street to the east and Tesoro Avenue to the south. Lathrop street is classified as a minor arterial, while the Tesoro Avenue is classified as local roadway. Adjacent properties to the north and east have dedicated driveways to Lathrop Street and 3oth Avenue. Properties to the south have direct access to Lathrop Street. Properties to the west are accessed via International Street which will not be impacted by the site development. Access to the proposed parcel is currently restricted to Tesoro Avenue. This existing roadway has minimal traffic volume as some adjacent properties are undeveloped. Typically each of ten operating buses will access and depart the site once a day, however, the roadway is expected to have sufficient capacity.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a jurisdictional determination on July 31, 2019, which determined the property does not contain waters of the United States under the Corps of Engineers jurisdiction (wetlands).

An independent appraisal was procured which estimated fair market value of the property to be $1 ,182,000.00. The agreed upon sale price takes into consideration the unique characteristics of the property as related to the project's specifications for siting, and a thorough vetting of other available properties on and off the market which distinguished Tract A-2 Grace Park Subdivision as the most economical choice.

We support this ordinance and urge its adoption.

74 Section 3. Finding of Compelling Public Purpose. Pursuant to FNSBC

75 20.12.040, the Mayor is authorized to acquire the property for more than fair market

76 value. The Assembly finds there is a compelling public purpose for doing so based on the

77 following facts:

78 1. A thorough search of properties available for purchase in Fairbanks was

79 conducted revealing that no property in the market met the Borough's

availability of natural gas.

The acquisition of Tract A-2, Grace Park Subdivision was negotiated in good

faith with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 302 Building

Association, a Washington Corporation, who held the property as a long

term investment.

The cost of running natural gas distribution mains, even to those available

properties not ideally suited in size or access, was analyzed and deemed to

be cost prohibitive.

Delaying acquisition of this property in hope that another property might

become available in the market at a lower price would put at risk a

$12,800,000 federal grant.

101 Section 4. Transit Enterprise Operating Fund Appropriation.

102 Notwithstanding the Reserves Policies section IV. B. of the Borough's fiscal policies as

103 stated in Ordinance No. 2019-20, Attachment B, the FY 2019-20 budget is hereby
