REPEAL KPB ORDINANCE 2011-12
Anadromous Fish habitat protection or government overreach of
private property?

1)  Ordinance 2011-12, when submitted by the Kenai River Center to the KPB Planning Commission failed to clarify that water bodies such as lakes  and saltwater bodies would be included.   Further, the Planning Commission was premature, possibly misinformed or were  never fully aware of the content and  issues relating to the Ordinance when presented to the  Borough Assembly for its  approval and passage.

2) Ordinance 2011-12 is an over-reaching Ordinance that was given little consideration as to the Economic Impact created by its passage.  It was adopted without direct prior or reasonable notice to the affected waterfront property owners and other
user groups.

3) Under this Ordinance, property owners are still liable for current and increased future property taxes based on the fully assessed but unusable values of their  waterfront properties.

4)   KPB imposed a zoned 50’ Habitat Protection Area  onto PRIVATE PROPERTY which mandates an onerous  "permit" system which, in most cases, will create a costly, unnecessary and time delaying process to property owners, thereby greatly limiting control of their once valuable and unique property.
5)   There are currently in place numerous State and Federal Agencies with expertise, experience and resources that have jurisdiction to provide complete protection for development on privately owned lands adjacent to Anadromous bodies of water.

6)   Ordinance 2011-12 creates an additional, unnecessary and costly layer of Borough Government oversight with NO existing EXPERTISE or RESOURCES for ENFORCEMENT.  This Ordinance was adopted and enacted WITHOUT a detailed analysis of manpower, cost or means to provide any enforcement  whatsoever.

7)  This Ordinance refers to and links to a Catalog or Register maintained by the State Of Alaska which allows for continual change WITHOUT due process of Public notification of property  
owners or approval by the peoples representative.
