(Resolution No. 85-12-R)
Mr. White moved to adopt Resolution No. 85-12-R Affirming The Decision
RIB Assembly Mtg. - Feb. 7, 198,g5 Page 2
�n
) '1 11 n 2, 0' i 1 7
Of The Planning And Zoning Commission To Deny A Variance In The
Conservation Zone. Seconded by Mr. Naughton.
Deputy Mayor Wakefield closed the regular meeting and opened as the
Board of Adjustment.
Ken Hertz: (V.Pres. of Alagnak Assoc.) I recognize that properties
we have are rather unique and I think you should hear our side of the
story personally before you make your decision. There are a very
limited number of private property holdings thoughout Kodiak Island
Borough. We are in possession of the majority of those holdings.
We are either directly under control or are managing approximately
eleven hundred acres and eighty separate parcels. Because of the
limited number of private holdings, we have been contacted by
numerous local residents. We have also had a great deal of interest
in these properties from national and international firms and
individuals. We feel that the five acre minimum affects us directly,
it affects the local residents directly. Because of many of the parcels
being nine acres, eight acres, seven acres, in that size range, most of
the people that live here locally have not been able to acquire those
properties individually. Most of them would like to have a two acre
site or a three acre site. We would like to give those people an
opportunity, after going through whatever requirements the Borough has
for sewage disposal, soil testing through the State and etc., to at least
have the opportunity to acquire a smaller parcel of land in the isolated
areas. If we continue with the five acre and above parcels, I think that
considering the type of interest we've had and the type of development
that could occur on those properties would in fact have a more environ-
mentally detrimental affect, if you will, on the surrounding wildlife
lands than if individuals were able to buy them.
Tim Hill: (P & Z Rep.) Read the following Findings of Fact into the
record:
1. Section 17.13.0540(A) (Area Requirements - Lot Area) requires
a minimum lot area of five (5) acres. The intent of the
Conservation District is to permit a range of uses that are
compatible with the 5-acre lot area requirement. This require-
ment is especially relevant with parcels of private land ad-
jacent to or surrounded by the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
2. Many of the parcels are adjacent to the shoreline and were
surveyed early in the century. The physical size and shape of
the lots, as well as developable upland, may have changed due
to the effects of earthquakes, flooding, and other erosional
processes. Review of individual parcels or groups of parcels
at the same location is more appropriate rather than granting
a blanket exception for all surveys.
3. Adverse public testimony.
4. The feasability of the enforcement of sewer and water require-
ments for small lots and these remote parcels and the potential
environmental damage if the regulations are not complied with.
Deputy Mayor Wakefield read a statement from Andy Kahutak in Akhiok on
behalf of the Akhiok Tribal Council and the Akhiok City Council:
"I would like to again oppose Alagnak Associates request for a
variance for lots less than five acres."
Kevin Ryan: (Assist. Refuge Mgr. for Kodiak National Refuge)
The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge occupies much of the southwest
two-thirds of Kodiak Island. Refuge lands surround many of the
Alagnak parcels in question. Our office strongly supports the five
acre minimum lot size for the conservation zone. We oppose
Alagnak's proposed variance from this five acre lot size for the
following reasons:
1. Subdivision would result in a much larger potential for develop-
ment ranging from cabins to houses to commercial developments.
Most of Kodiak's coastline is prime wildlife habitat. Human
developments nearly always cause severe impacts on wildlife in
the area. The level of impact increases exponentially with the
number and density of developments and with the number of humans
occupying a given area. A nine acre tract subdivided into, for
example, three -three acre parcels will almost certainly result
in at least three developments versus one. The impacts on wild-
life in the area will increase dramatically as a result. These
impacts will occur over a much broader area than the parcel it-
self.
2. Some of these parcels lie at the mouths of anadromous fish
KIB Assembly Mtg. - Feb. 7, 1985 Page 3
streams. Human developments on streams pose obvious potential
for problems. Again, subdivision will amplify the problems by
increasing potential development.
3. Brown bears occur in numbers in most if not all of these areas.
Human developments attract bears and conflicts invariably arise.
Higher levels of development result in more garbage, more food
odors, hence more attractions and more conflicts. This is
already a serious problem in many villages.
4. Sanitation and garbage removal will be difficult on all of these
sites. The Borough Coastal Zone Management Plan states that
most of Kodiak's coastal area is poorly suited for septic
systems of any kind. Most of these sites would probably use pit
toilets for obvious economic reasons. Again, subdivision would
result in more septic waste. Garbage disposal will be an
equally difficult task on these remote areas. Realistically,
most garbage will probably wind up in the ocean. More people
equals more garbage.
5. Most of these sites have little or no fresh water supply. Sub-
division would be difficult without cutting many parcels off
from fresh water. Wells would be totally unfeaseable on most
of these sites for economic reasons. Further, the above noted
sanitary problems could easily contaminate fresh water supplies
which do exist.
6. Most people who would be interested in these sites are in large
part going to be very concerned with the wilderness character of
the area. Subdivision would result in several developments at
each site, impairing the wilderness character of the entire
area, not just the immediate site area.
7. Access to public lands is becoming more of a problem each day on
Kodiak. Several of these parcels provide such access at
present. Subdivision would result in more owners to deal with
and lowered likelihood of access.
8. Allowing subdivision on these parcels would, in our opinion, set
a dangerous precident for future request. At present, a large
number of Native allotments are being conveyed all around
Kodiak's coast. Most of these are 160 acres in size. Many of
these parcels will be subdivided at some future date. An exemp-
tion from the five acre rule here would certainly influence any
future requests for variances.
In summary, we believe subdivision of any of these remote parcels
below five acres would be contrary to recommendations made in the
Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Zone Management Plan and would cause
numerous environmental problems. Furthermore, buyers of smaller
parcels would encounter numerous problems with developments. Al-
though the "buyer beware" concept applies here we should avoid
these problems rather than try to deal with them at some later
date.
Mr. Hertz: (Rebuttal) We are working and have worked with Fish and Wild-
life for the last two years on the management of those lands as well as
trade possibilities. Again, I would like to reiterate that, just because
you have one owner of a piece of property rather than three doesn't
necessarily mean that that one owner is going to be more concerned about
the land. I fully don't believe that. I think, in fact, it might be
just the opposite. As far as the sanitary facilities and water goes,
nearly all of these do have fresh water. We would certainly fully comply
with all the sanitary requirements of the Borough and the State.
Deputy Mayor Wakefield closed the Board of Adjustment.
Mr. White read the following into record:
Be it resolved that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly sitting as a
Board of Adjustment affirms the decision of the Planning and Zoning
Commission for the following reasons:
1. Section 17.13.040(A)(Area Requirements - Lot Area) requires a
minimum lot area of five acres. The intent of the Conservation
District is to permit a range of uses that are compatible with
the five -acre lot area requirement. This requirement is especi-
ally relevant with parcels of private land adjacent to or
surrounded by the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
2. Many of the parcels are adjacent to the shoreline and were
surveyed early in the century. The physical size and shape of
the lots, as well as developable upland, may have changed due to
the effects of earthquakes, flooding and other erosional procces-
ses. Review of individual parcels or groups of parcels at the
same location is more appropriate rather than granting a blanket

XI MAYOR'S COMMENTS
1. The Steering Committee for the Data Processing is probably going to
want to upgrade the System 38 since the maximum of terminals are
plugged in now.
XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. White: 1. I certainly appreciate the good job Dave did tonight in
chairing the meeting.
2. I would like to request that the Staff insert the building permit
reports under info in our packets.
3. I have a concern about people lobbying for things that we aren't
aware of and they don't really know what they are doing. We've had
some go to Juneau and they haven't really been doing what I call
"Borough business" the whole time they were there. Perhaps we need
an ordinance that says people don't go lobbying until it comes
before the assembly to know what they are doing.
Mr. Rounsaville: None
Mr. Naughton: I just want to commend the Northern Lights Riding group
for the program they are doing. I think it is a very worthwhile
thing and a very community spirited thing. I wish them God speed.
Ms. Barker: 1. Is there any way we can request that minutes from the
advisory committees be submitted in a more timely manner? Some of the
ones in our packets were back in October and November.
KIB Assembly Mtg. - Feb. 7, 1985
Page 8
Mrs. Cater: 1. I am happy to be back.
2. I would also like to commend the Norther Lights Riding group because
that is a fantastic amount of work for volunteers.
%III AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Brad Pope: (Pres. Northern Lights Riding Group) I would like to thank
all the Assembly, on behalf of the Northern Lights, for their time and
consideration on this matter. We appreciate the vote of confidence you
have given us in extending the lease. It is going to help us a lot. If
anyone has any ideas where we can get some money, we would appreciate it.
Scott Arndt: 1.I would like to bring up something that I have brought up
before. You had Resolution 85-9-R re: Lion Capital in particular before
you tonight and you didn't explain anything to the public. What is the
bottom line? We are talking about two million dollars in principal and
approximately two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in interest. I'd
like to hear, and I'm sure there are a lot of people in the audience,
what we are getting.
2. Another comment is in regards to the Maintenance Facility, last year
when.you had your priority list the School District didn't really
consider this a priority. It was listed approximately number thirty.
This is a direct turn of events. What they are saying is that the
asbestos problem is no longer a problem in my opinion by going ahead
and doing this. What are the priorities?
3. I have a problem myself with the time frame specified in the bid
opening on Oct. 30 for the handicap access in the Borough building and
the handicap apartment remodel. Bonding is a problem for small contrac-
tors. Both of these projects were to be completed by now. You
arbitrarily extended this project. You are changing the period in which
the construction is taking place. I think both of them should be thrown
out and be re -bid or in this case it should have gone to the second
bidder.
4. I have another problem. It is my understanding that the building
inspector is to be transferred to the Facilities Coordinating Depart-
ment. The Facility Coordinator position was to be a temporary one.
I do not appreciate the attitude of the Facilities Coordinator at all
towards the building permit process. Leave the building inspector where
it is in the Engineering Department.
Lorna Arndt: 1. I don't like seeing more of our monies taken away from
our roof project. We have given the Chamber of Commerce cheap rent all
of these years.
2. On the resolution regarding the legal services, I think that should've
gone down the drain. They are only handling social security cases and
welfare cases.
3. You asked if the Personnel Board had studied the annual sick leave.
We have studied it for two years now. The employees have really worked
on this one and gotten information from other Borough's our size. They
are satisfied with losing three days a year. We were glad that this
would keep them on the job where we need them. I think this is some-
thing to look at. The employees like it.
Marlin Knight: The thoughts were to legitimize the Northern Lights Riding
for the Handicapped corporation. When I first got involved, I donated
money and time to that organization. Came to find out it did not have
a 5013C status. I think the membership is very disgusted with perfor-
mance and question the sincerity of the people promoting it. Rather than
object to it, it was felt let's give them a one year chance to see what
they can do. I understand that you have allowed two years now and I
don't intend to persuade you not to go that route. I just would like to
make it a point if that is the case, if someone is going to benefit, then
it should be legitimate. The Planning Commission had put some procedures
there where they had quarterly reports, they did get their 5013C status
�--^
I
and there is a board now. Since this issue has come up, there has been a
lot of activity trying to get organized. I am here because I object to
people promoting in the name of handicapped children.
Okey Chandler: The idea of combining sick leave with annual should not
receive any consideration now or anytime in the future.
Don Starr: I would just like to say that with the many issues you handle
the rapport and tenacity you have is appreciated.
Mr. Naughton moved to recess into Executive Session. Seconded by Mr.
Rounsaville. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mr. White reported that the assembly discussed the Manager's evaluation. The
Manager received high marks from all the assembly. The assembly is giving
the Manager a raise from his current salary of $56,000 per year to $60,000 per
year. That will be retroactive to February 1, 1985. The Manager will stay at
KIB Assembly Mtg. - Feb. 7, 1985

this amount until after the election when a new Mayor form of government takes
place.
Mrs. Cater moved to concur in the changing of salary from $56,000 to $60,000
for the Manager effective February 1, 1985. Seconded by Mr. Naughton. Motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote.
