“in this case, the top one that you see, minor offense citation, that's when we actually are going to issue a minor offense citation, which goes on to the court records. Then they have to submit a fine.”Soldotna: 09-02-26 Planning & Zoning Meeting · Sep 2, 2026

“156 Linda Lane, that's an interesting one. It's an unpermitted accessory use because it's in the short single-family, two-family zone, you can't have RV and camping within that zone unless you have an established principal use, in which case a house. So they went ahead and just cleared their lot and put RVs and accessory structures. So they're in violation of the zoning code for that particular zoning district.”Soldotna: 09-02-26 Planning & Zoning Meeting · Sep 2, 2026
Linda Mitchell
“we can continue to issue additional minor offense citations because the way our code is written, it could be a daily fine.”Soldotna: 09-02-26 Planning & Zoning Meeting · Sep 2, 2026
