VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY APPROVAL OF MINUTES COMMISSIONER VINBERG MOVED to approve the March 20, 2013 Planning & Zoning Commission minutes. VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS There were none PUBLIC HEARINGS A) CASE 13-024. Request a Conditional Use Permit, according to 17.200, to allow a governmental maintenance and service facilities and storage yards use, as provided in KIBC 17.130.030.D, for the secured temporary storage of bulk building materials and equipment in support of the Kodiak High School Addition & Renovation project. Lot 2A, Lakeside Subdivision 2nd Addition; 2647 Selief Lane. PL-Public Use Land. Lydick reported this request represents the next step towards achieving a renovated & expanded high school campus. The COMMISSIONER VAHL MOVED to grant a Conditional Use Permit, according to 17.200, to allow a governmental maintenance and service facilities and storage yards use, as provided in KIBC 17.130.030.D, for the secured temporary storage of bulk building materials and equipment in support of the Kodiak High School Addition & Renovation project, subject to two Conditions of Approval, and to approve the findings of fact in staff report dated April 5, 2013, as Findings of Fact for Case No. 13-024. April 17, 2013 Page 1 of 11 P&Z Minutes The public hearing was opened. Public testimony was given by: Jim Ashford lives next to the proposed property that's requesting this conditional use permit and he read that the granting of the conditional use permit Item C will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort. He has no problem with the project but he'd like to know if the contractor will provide dust control for that road. The first half of the road from Von Scheele to the telephone pole in front of his house is city and the second half is borough or Service District 1. Last year the city had no money because of the heavy snow load, Service District 1 had no money, no dust control at all. The only dust control on that road is done by him and his water truck. If the borough is going to issue a conditional use permit they should put a condition that someone is going to do dust control otherwise it's a great use of the lot. The public hearing was closed. Discussion regarding the dust control and if it should be considered or if it's been taken into account in the past but the commission is to address the situation if the commission feels it's proper. Is it part of the contract for dust control? Jessica Wolfe stated it is part of the contract for the site but not the route. CHAIR TORRES said this is a city road and Service District 1, is that something that we normally do is to add dust control on a public road? Ms. Wolfe couldn't answer that. The intent is for instance Southern Alaska Forwarding to bring to bring periodically containers and flats and leave them there and then move as needed to the site.There may be an occasional piece of equipment there but the intent is material. COMMISSIONER PETERSON asked if there is an avenue Mr. Ashford could take after the fact if we don't implement a rule that says they have to do dust control, Ms. Wolfe said she doesn't see why not, if there's an issue we'll take care of it. COMMISSIONER PETERSON also asked about the Calcium Chloride, what kind of expense are we looking at. Ms. Wolfe said she couldn't tell him that. COMMISSIONER VINBERG said we are complaint based so he assumes if Mr. Ashford is getting excessive dust that can be remedied if he comes to the borough to address those concerns. Ms. Wolfe said although we haven't required that of the contractor we would be more than happy to do it if it becomes a problem. COMMISSIONER VAHL stated it's very important that the fence is maintained really well, he's seen temporary fences around town to keep people out and it's kind of isolated and security is important. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY B) Case S13-019. Request a vacation, according to KIBC 16.60, to eliminate a ten (10) foot utility easement along the south side property line of Lot 8, Block 2, Island Vista Subdivision.1681 Marmot Drive. RR1- Rural Residential One. Lydick reported this request for a utility easement vacation is one of two requests that deal with the same residential property. The associated case 13-025 is requesting variances for front and side yard encroachments and is scheduled next on the agenda. Reliable survey data demonstrates that the entire southern side of the residence encroachments into the required 15 foot side yard setback requirement in the RR1 zoning district and that a good portion has April 17, 2013 Page 2 of 11 P&Z Minutes been constructed within a platted utility easement. Twenty-five public hearing notices were sent out and seven public agency reviews were returned expressing non-objection to the request and one public review was returned expressing reservation to the request. The code mandates that it'is the responsibility of the applicant to prove that a vacation request does not have a public value, and the application provides no such assurance. Staff recommended approval subject to one condition of approval. COMMISSIONER VAHL MOVED to grant Preliminary approval, according to KIBC 16.60, of the vacation of a ten (10) foot utility easement along the south side property line of Lot 8, Block 2, Island Vista Subdivision, subject to one (1) condition of approval, and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated April 3, 2013, as "FINDINGS OF FACT" for this case. The public hearing was opened &closed. Testimony was given by: Dave Sundberg spoke in favor of his request stating they're in the midst of selling their home and it's 2.2 feet into the utility easement on the southwest corner and we are seeking of having the section where the encroachment is vacated so we can get a clean survey for the sale. He asked for the commission's approval of the vacation and on the variances; the side yard setback and 9/10th of a foot in the front. Bob Scholze, Borough Resource Officer, stated it may be more in the public interest to vacate only the portion of the utility easement. Mr. Sundberg said it's acceptable for them to just vacate the portion where the house encroaches into the easement and that would leave 7 1/2 feet approximately combined with the 10 feet on the adjoining lot that could be utilized in the future. Nat Nichols is the prospective buyer of this home and it was his understanding that there's also a retaining wall that's close to the lot line, and with speaking with the mortgage agent the retaining wall is also an issue. During the work session, it was talked about leaving 2.5 feet easement along that lot line which would keep the retaining wall out of the new smaller easement along with the house.That was my understanding of it. The public hearing was closed. Discussion of easements, retaining wall, and taking care of the problems now rather than down the road. Bob Scholze stated if the retaining wall is an issue he thinks the staff report that Dvorak wrote with his condition addressed adequately if the entire easement therefore could be vacated if Engineering could indicate it won't be an issue, and that would allow the buyer and seller to move forward. COMMISSIONER VINBERG MOVED to amend to grant preliminary approval according to KIBC 16.60 of the vacation of 7 1/2 feet of the 10 foot utility easement along the south side property line of Lot 8, Block 2, Island Vista Subdivision subject to one condition of approval and to adopt the findings of fact contained in the staff report dated April 3, 2013 as Findings of Fact for this case. During discussion, CHAIR TORRES asked Scholze with the amendment of removing 7 '/2 feet of that easement leaving 2 1/2 feet do we need that condition or leave it the way it is and leave that condition in there. Scholze stated he thinks you wouldn't need the condition that would allow for 12 1 feet and if in fact there was an extension of line that can be done if we're just talking sewer line he thinks it wouldn't be necessary, we would retain 2 1/2 feet adjacent to the property line and that would be added to the 10 feet opposite. The other would be an exercise April 17, 2013 Page 3 of 11 P&Z Minutes in speculation as to whether or not and when there ever would be public utilities there. Lydick stated with the amended motion to vacate just the 7 1/2 feet of that utility easement in the interest of equity maintaining the 2 1/2 feet there so that you have a total of 12 1/2 feet right between the properties should be adequate, and if that's the case we don't need that condition of approval asking for an outside opinion to speculate about it. ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT FAILED 4-1. The noes were Kathy Drabek, Frank Peterson, Rick Vahl, and Sonny Vinberg. The aye was Alan Torres. COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED to amend the motion to read move to grant preliminary approval, according to KIBC 16.60, of the vacation of 7.5 feet of the 10 foot utility easement along the south side property line of Lot 8, Block 2, Island Vista Subdivision and to adopt the findings in the staff report dated April 3, 2013 as Findings of Fact for this case. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. This plat meets the minimum standards of survey accuracy and proper preparation of plats required in Title 16 of the Borough Code. 2. This plat meets all the requirements of Title 17 of the Borough Code. 3. This plat provides a subdivision of land that is consistent with adopted Borough plans for this area. ROLL CALL VOTE ON AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY ROLL CALL VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED 5-0. When asked if anyone wanted to change their vote Rick Vahl, Sonny Vinberg, and Kathy Drabek changed their vote to aye. C) Case 13-025. Request two variances, according to KIBC 17.195, to allow encroachments by the existing single-family dwelling which encroaches 7.2 feet into the 15 foot side yard setback and which also encroaches .9 of a foot into the 25 foot front yard setback. 1681 Marmot Drive. RR1-Rural Residential One. Lydick reported this request for variances is for the purpose of facilitating the sale of the single family residence.Twenty-five public hearing notices were sent out. Four public reviews have been returned to the department expressing non-objection to this request. Staff recommended approval subject to one condition of approval. COMMISSIONER VINBERG MOVED to grant a variance, from KIB Code 17.70.050.B (Side Yard), to permit an encroachment 7.2 feet into the required 15 foot side yard setback, and a variance from KIB Code 17.70.040.A (Front Yard) to permit an encroachment .9 feet into the required 25 foot front yard setback, located within the RR1-Rural Residential zoning district, in accordance with KIBC Chapter 17.195, (Variance), subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report dated April 1, 2013; and to adopt the findings in the staff report as "Findings of Fact" for this case. The public hearing was opened. Public testimony was given by: David Sundberg spoke in favor of the variances to allow the sale of their property. The public hearing was closed. Brief discussion FINDINGS OF FACT April 17, 2013 Page 4 of 11 P&Z Minutes 17.66.050 A.1. Exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or intended use of development, which generally do not apply to other properties in the same land use district. This lot is characterized by a moderately substantial topographical break along the lines of the existing driveway. This topography would constrain reasonable and affordable construction of the dwelling on the Lot 8 anywhere on the property other than where the dwelling is located. Variances provide for the fact that all lots in a particular zoning district are not equally developable according to a single set of developable standards. 17.66.051 A.2. Strict as s lication of the zonin• ordinances would result in •ractic.I difficulties or unnecessary hardshims. Strict application of the zoning ordinance would result in the practical difficulty of the property owners having to pursue considerable, most likely cost prohibitive, building alteration or movement to a legal location in order to meet the setback requirements of the RR1-Rural Residential One zoning district. 17.66.050 A.3. The granting of the variance will not result in material damages or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor be detrimental to the public's health, safety.and welfare. Granting the variance will not result in material damages or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity, nor will it be detrimental to the public safety and welfare. There have been no complaints about the location of the main structure on Lot 8 and the petitioner is not proposing any expansion of the building. The dwelling appears to meet all other zoning and building codes in its present location. 17.66.050 A.4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Granting this variance will be consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan which identifies this area as residential. 17.66.050 A.5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special conditions or financial hard hi s from which relief is bein• sou•ht b the variance. Actions of the applicant or a predecessor in interest may have caused the special conditions or financial hardship from which relief is being sought. However it is unlikely that they were aware of the discrepancy at the time and did not violate the code intentionally. As indicated in Standard #1 the principal reason for the location of the structure appears to be the prevailing topography of the site. 17.66.050 A.6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a prohibited land use in the district involved. The granting of this variance will not permit a prohibited land use in this district. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY D) Case S13-020. Request Preliminary approval, according to 16.40, of the subdivision of Tract R-1A, Killarney Hills Subdivision creating Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, Block 4, Killarney Hills Subdivision and Tract R-2, Killarney Hills Subdivision. 3235 Rezanof Drive E. R2- Two-family Residential. April 17, 2013 Page 5 of 11 P&Z Minutes Lydick reported this request continues the effort to respond to the Assembly's direction to identify public lands suitable for disposal, and then to offer those lands to the public for development through assorted marketing mechanisms. Eighty-four ublic hering notices wer sent out for this case. Four public reviews have been submitted to the department commenting on the request. Two comments have been received requesting the platting authority plat a utility easement and a drainage easement. From staff's perspective, these two requests represent matters of convenience, rather than necessity. Burdening lots proposed for disposal with unnecessary easements indicates a lack of forethought on the part of the Borough, and we should demand better. Staff recommended approval without any attached conditions of approval. The department received written a comment after the comment deadline. If the commission wishes to review the comment a postponement is in order. COMMISSIONER VAHL MOVED to grant Preliminary approval, according to 16.40, of the subdivision of Tract R-1A, Killarney Hill Subdivision creating Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, Block 4, Killarney Hills Subdivision and Tract R-2, Killarney Hills Subdivisions, and to adopt the findings in the staff report dated April 5, 2013 as "Findings of Fact" for Case No. S13-020. The public hearing was opened. Bob Scholze stated he provided a supplemental memo at your request after meeting on site with Public Works and the Building Officials on April 16th. It indicates there is a storm drain in the road but is discontinuous so that it flows in both directions but not in front of Lot 11. The conclusion on site is that any drainage resulting from the development of these four lots in this subdivision could adequately be handled by ditching and swales within drainage easements created for that purpose. Any fill, which was a neighbor respondent, would require a building permit and be subject to engineering requirements of the uniform building code. Scholze suggested you adopt three conditions of approval. He thinks the intent would be to address potential drainage problems. That 10 foot drainage easement is on the left side of Lot 11. The Public Works Director was satisfied that would adequately address any drainage issues in the area. We've also proposed 15 foot wide drainage easements on the front of all lots that's within the 25 foot front yard setback regardless, and it also corresponds with an easement requested by ACS for transmission lines. The other easements are five foot each side of property lines between Lots 11 and 12 and Lots 13 and 14 and those are utility easements. The one between Lot 11 and 12 was specifically asked for by KEA because they have an existing transmission line there. If we don't create a utility easement then KEA wouldn't have the option of providing that line across those properties. Scholze recommends you adopt those 3 conditions of approval. In response to CHAIR TORRES' inquiry of the 10 foot easement that's all on Lot 11 on the east end, is that a 10 foot setback, Scholze stated that would be 5 foot that would add an additional 5 foot. Since Lot 11 is wider at the front of all the other lots and narrower at the rear the building most likely would be toward the front of the lot and there would still be a buildable footprint area equal to the other lots. In response to COMMISSIONER VINBERG'S inquiry that the storm drains indicated on the lines are basically capped lines and aren't picking up any storm drainage from any of this area, Scholze stated you are correct. There's one that picks up drainage, there is a grate in front of the other one on the other side of the road to the left. In front of Lot 12 the storm drain flowing northerly there are grates that will pickup but nothing in front of Lot 11. April 17, 2013 Page 6 of 11 P&Z Minutes In response to COMMISSIONER VINBERG'S inquiry that the concern is these lines aren't sized to pick up drainage from these created lots, Scholze stated he didn't say that and these storm drains are adequate and there is an unofficial culvert that was placed before paving the road across to Lot 11 that we looked at an 8 inch size culvert that does provide some drainage from across the street but the issue with glaciation resulted from snow removal and freezing/thawing cycles that happen at certain times of the year anyway. COMMISSIONER VINBERG stated when he drives by this site he noticed on the outward curve on part of Lot 17 and across from these created lots it looks like the hillside is coming down pretty good, he noticed it a lot on Lot 11. The 10 foot easement for drainage he assumes between Lots 10B and 11 will help alleviate that. Scholze stated there's a big hole there and will require some fill. If the drainage is needed, the drainage may go in front if a drainage easement is created there. The public hearing was closed. Lydick stated staff recommends you adopt the conditions of approval as submitted by Mr. Scholze. COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO AMEND the motion to read "move to grant preliminary approval, according to 16.40 of the subdivision of Tract R-1A, Killarney Hills Subdivision creating Lots 11, 12, 13, & 14, Block 4, Killarney Hills Subdivision and Tract R2, Killarney Hills Subdivisions subject to conditions 1 through 3 as proposed by Mr. Scholze, and they read 1. Creation of a 10 foot wide drainage easement on the westerly side of proposed Lot 11 adjacent to existing Lot 10B, 2. Creation of a 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement adjacent to the Right-of-Way at the front of proposed Lots 11 through 14, and 3. Creation of a 10 foot wide utility easements for electrical and communication transmission lines 5 feet each side of the lot line common to proposed Lots 11 and 12 and the lot line common to proposed Lots 13 and 14, and to adopt the findings in the staff report dated April 5, 2013 as Findings of Fact for Case S13-020." Discussion CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. Creation of a 10 foot wide drainage easement on the westerly side of proposed Lot 11 adjacent to existing Lot 10B. 2. Creation of a 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement adjacent to the Right-of-Way at the front of proposed Lots 11 through 14. 3. Creation of a 10 foot wide utility easements for electrical and communication transmission lines 5 feet each side of the lot line common to proposed Lots 11 and 12 and the lot line common to proposed Lots 13 and 14. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. This plat meets the minimum standards of survey accuracy and proper preparation of plats required in Title 16 of the Borough Code. 2. This plat meets all the requirements of Title 17 of the Borough Code. 3. This plat provides a subdivision of land that is consistent with adopted Borough plans for this area. ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY April 17, 2013 Page 7 of 11 P&Z Minutes ROLL CALL VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY E) Case 13-026. Request a Rezone investigation, according to KIBC 17.205, to allow for the proposed expansion of the Old Harbor Airport, from R1-Single-family Residential to LI-Light Industrial, and; A Conditional Use Permit, according to KIBC 17.200.040.A, to allow a "new" airport in the LI-Light Industrial zoning district, in addition to all aviation related uses that may develop in conjunction with the expanded airport design. Tract A,ANCSA 14(c) Plat 96- 33, Old Harbor,AK Airport. R1-Single-family Residential. Lydick reported this rezone request and conditional use permit continues to drive to upgrade and expand village public infrastructure facilities located throughout the borough. The City of Old Harbor requested a rezone of the proposed airport site to LI-Light Industrial which has become the de facto standard for airports within the Kodiak Island Borough. Although the airport is not a new airport, it will be a new airport for the purposes of the LI=Light Industrial zoning district. The zone requires a Conditional Use Permit for all new airports after which time all future airport related uses may be permitted over the counter. Fifty-seven public hearing notices related to this request were sent out. One public review was returned expressing on-objection. Staff recommended approval of the rezone request and conditional use permit in a separate motion. COMMISSIONER VAHL MOVED to recommend that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the rezoning of Tract A, of Plat 96-33, an area of approximately 80 acres that will be resurveyed at the conclusion of the "Airport Safety Enhancement Project" according to KIBC 17.205, to allow for the proposed expansion of the Old Harbor Airport, from R1-Single-family Residential to LI Light Industrial, and to adopt the "Findings of Fact" in the staff report dated April 1, 2013 in support of this recommendation. The public hearing was opened: There was no public testimony. FINDINGS OF FACT 17.205.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment. The proposed rezone of the Old Harbor Airport from RI -Single-family Residential to LI--Light Industrial is needed in order to enhance the safe operation of the airport and to increase its capability to support the use of the airport by larger cargo rated aircraft. The improvements will be carried out to ADOT&PF and FAA standards and when completed should also provide additional opportunities for economic development within the Old Harbor community. The rezone will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing airport and allow the expansion of the airport to improve safety, increase capacity, and generally bring the expanded airport into full compliance with all current and applicable FAA regulations pertaining to utility airports. After the zoning becomes effective, a single conditional use permit will allow all future airport related development as a "use-by-right" that will be eligible for "over-the-counter" zoning compliance review. The proposed rezone will not create any nonconforming lots or uses. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed LI--Light Industrial zoning district is generally consistent with the objectives of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update and the incorporated Old Harbor April 17, 2013 Page 8 of 11 P&Z Minutes Annex to that plan. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED to grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), according to KIBC 17.120.040.A and KIBC 17.200, to allow a "new" Old Harbor Airport in the LI-Light Industrial zoning district, in addition to all aviation related uses that may develop in conjunction with the expanded airport design on a site approximately 80 acres in area, as generally described in the application materials submitted by the City of Old Harbor, and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated April 1, 2013 as FINDINGS OF FACT for this case. The public hearing was opened &closed: There was no public testimony. Discussion FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integrity of the surrounding area. The existing Old Harbor Airport is a nonconforming land use located within the RI -Single-family Residential zoning district. The airport was originally permitted under the zoning Exception procedure and at the time in 1990 was a vast improvement over the old airport that was abandoned in the Old Town section of Old Harbor. The bulk of airport expansion activities will be located away from residential development in the area. Although laden cargo aircraft may increase the noise of airport operations, the use of larger aircraft will also require fewer trips into and out of the community. The airport needs to be expanded in order to enhance air safety and to provide for economic development opportunities in the community that cannot be supported by the aircraft for which the airport is currently rated. The airport expansion will comply with all applicable airport regulations promulgated by ADOT&PF and the FAA. The CUP for the LI-Light Industrial zone is intended to provide for long term approval of future airport and airport related developments, essentially making them an "over-the-counter" permit review. The LI-Light Industrial zone will establish adequate standards that are appropriate for a utility airport and will ensure that the conditional use preserves the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area. 2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. At the time the expanded utility airport project is reviewed for zoning compliance, the City of Old Harbor will be required to submit a more detailed site plan for review by borough staff. Staff will then ensure that the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question as part of the zoning compliance review process. A survey will conducted at the conclusion of the project to ensure that the bulk of disturbed cut and fill areas are contained within the expanded airport boundary. 3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort The Old Harbor Airport has been operating at its present location for many years. This use is April 17, 2013 Page 9 of 11 P&Z Minutes nonconformity in the RI-Single-family Residential zoning district. The existing airport is ideal for the needed increase in runway length and safety related clearance zones. In addition, expanding the airport at its current location will not create any conflict between air traffic and birds that are attracted to the Old Harbor Landfill. 4. The sufficient setbacks, lot area buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. While the LI--Light Industrial zoning district does not require setbacks from lot lines, in this case the development of the airport will be required to meet ADOT&PF and FAA standards which will ensure that sufficient setbacks, lot area buffer and other safeguards are provided. The current location of the airport is in the only location in Old Harbor that can provide for the expansion of airport design and use by providing adequate land area for the applicable ADOT&PF and FAA standards to be accommodated in the design and construction of the expanded airport.
