*** BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
A. Appeal of Planning and Zonings denial of a request for an exception
from Section 17.17.020 (Permitted Uses) of the Borough Code to permit
an existing duplex dwelling on a lot in RR1, Rural Residential One,
district. Lot 8, Block 1, Mountain View Alaska Subdivision, First
Addition; 1679 Three Sisters Drive. (Mark White - Applicant & Appellant)
(Res. No. 85-80-R)
Mayor Peterson closed the regular meeting and reconvened as the Board of
Adjustment.
Linda Freed, Director of the Community Development Department, gave the
staff presentation. This case came before the Community Development
Department as a result of a complaint from a property owner in the area.
The evidence and reasons being relied upon by the Commission include:
1) A building permit issued to Mark White on April 1, 1982,
for a single family residence on Lot 8, Block 1, Mountain
View Alaska Subdivision, First Addition.
2) A certificate of occupancy issued on April 19, 1983, for a
single family residence on Lot 8, Block 1 Mountain View
Alaska Subdivision, First Addition.
3) A site inspection by Mike Steele on March 18, 1985 which is
cited on page 2 of a letter from Mr. Steele to Mr. White on
April 17, 1985 identifying the use and design of the structure
on Lot 8, Block 1 as a duplex.
4) Kodiak Island Borough code section 17.06.220 which states that
a dwelling unit is defined as: "One or more rooms and a single
kitchen in a dwelling designed as a unit for occupancy by not
more than one family for living or sleeping purposes and in
which not more than two persons are lodged for hire."
5) Duplexes are not an allowed use in the zoning district which
Lot 8, Block 1 Mountain View Alaska Subdivision, First
Addition is located.
6) Adverse public testimony.
Tim Hill: (P & Z Commissioner) I spoke with Mr. Steele prior to the public
hearing and he informed me that since he is no longer employed by the
Borough and would also be out of town at the time of the public hearing, he
would not be attending the meeting. Mr. Bryce Gordon inspected the
building and gave it a certificate of occupancy because it was partially
constructed and it was enough for occupancy of a family. After the
certificate was granted, Mr. White went in and completed the duplex.
Mr. Mark White: (Appellant) In essence, I think we have a problem with
semantics and definitions. You have before you my letter recently written
containing about six pages of refudiation to the three findings of fact.
Again, I don't agree with the findings of fact. Again, the bottom line
is that there are three related people living in this structure at this
point. As I mentioned before in my letter, I'm quite willing to agree in
writing to limit the population of the structure for the occupancy rating
of the structure to less than five as permitted by the code in the single
family dwelling. Because I, in fact, thought I was constructing a single
family dwelling. I also, agree not to increase the size of the structure
in any way.

Mickey Mummert: I am an immediate neighbor to one of Mr. White's lots.
I feel that Mr. White is in really flagrant disregard of the present code
requirements. I am very much against you granting this variance.
Cathy Cordry: I also live in Monashka Bay. I would just like to say that
a duplex is a duplex, no matter what you call it. A duck is a duck,
whether you call it a Mallard or a Pintail.
Dan Maciak: I am supporting Mr. White. I think Mr. White is trying in a
reasonable effort to accomodate and to correct the situation. I think his
effort reflects it and I'm here to request an exception be granted.
Mr. Mark White: (rebuttal) I think that people that live in glass houses
probably shouldn't throw stones.
Mr. Wakefield moved to adopt Resolution No. 85-80-R Affirming The Planning
And Zoning Commission Decision Concerning A Request For An Exception To
Allow A Duplex To Remain In An RR1 District for the following reasons:
A. The proposed use will endanger the public's health, safety or
general welfare, as the duplex will increase the permitted
density of the lot by a factor of two. Additionally, no permits
have been issued or inspections performed for the conversion to
a duplex to ensure compliance with building and fire codes.
2) The proposed use will be inconsistent with the general purposes
and intent of Title 17 and with the specific description and
intent of Chapter 17.17, the RR1, Rural Residential District.
3) The proposed use could potentially adversely impact other
properties in the area. Granting this exception will set a
precedent for changing the use, density, and expected life-
style (i.e., large lot, low -density, single-family residential)
of the subdivision and the RR1 zoning district.
Seconded by Mr. Blankenburg. Motion carried 5-2 with Mrs. Cater and Mr.
Naughton casting the NO votes.
Mayor Peterson closed the Board of Adjustment and reconvened the regular
meeting.
�! VII PUBLIC HEARINGS (Village Telephone Number 486-5370)
A. Res. No. 85-79-R Disposing Of Certain Borough Lands To The Kodiak Island
Housing Authority.
Mr. Naughton moved to adopt Resolution No. 85-79-R. Seconded by Mrs.
Cater.
Regular Session closed:
Public Hearing opened:
Marlin Knight: (Executive Director of K.I.H.A.) I am here to speak in favor
of the land disposal (Block 3 Lakeside Subd., 1st Addition) to Kodiak
Island Housing Authority for residential development. K.I.H.A. proposes to
transfer $598,200 in funding to Kodiak Island Borough to offset the water,
sewer and road costs in return for the site being requested. I believe
this is a fair arrangement for both. Our analysis of all the sites that
responded to our advertisements indicated that the project would not be
financially feasible due to the severe restrictions we are bound on the
purchase of property. The project proposed is a mutual help home ownership
opportunity program. We believe this project is worthy of your favorable
consideration and we hope you agree with us.
Gordon Pullar: (Pres. of Kodiak Area Native Assoc.) I wish to go on record
as endorsing the efforts of the Kodiak Island Housing Authority in trying
to find a way for people to become homeowners who wouldn't ordinarily have
the opportunity to be homeowners. I urge your favorable consideration to
their request.
Clarence Selig: I would like to state that the plan presented to the
Borough Assembly regarding certain lands sought by the Kodiak Island
Housing Authority in my estimate is quite an equitable deal. Rather than
industrial, I would like to see it as an extension of the inner Selief
extended outward as residential and public lands. I hope the Assembly,
after weighing all testimony, stands firm with their original concept of
the Beaver Lake Lakeside Subdivision plan as attested to the resolution
this evening.

KIB Assembly Mtg. - Sept. 5, 1985

John Hartman: I am speaking in favor of the land disposal to the Kodiak
Island Housing Authority. It would be a method for me and my family to
try and obtain property here. I would like to think of it as a form of
affordable homes. It would be something I can call my own.
Ken Parker: I am here to speak in favor or the disposal of the land to
Kodiak Island Housing Authority. I see this program as an opportunity to
be able to get the home that my family needs. I strongly support this
program.
Gloria Cabbob: I too am in favor of the disposal of Borough land to the
Kodiak Island Housing Authority. Like the other participants, this is
the only chance that we'll ever get to purchase out own home because of
the cost of property.
Stacy Pullar: I too am in the same position that the others are in. I have
children and I am also seeking an education for better employment. Without
this program, my family and I wouldn't be able to own our own home.
Cliff Vogelsberg: I am lucky enough to live in Kodiak and have a house
here. I don't have any problem at all with the housing project. I think
it is a good deal for Kodiak and for all the people that can't afford to
own a home any other way.
Scott Arndt: I wish to speak opposed to the proposed use not the disposal
of the property. If they were really looking at trying to contribute to
the economy, it would be more appropriate to break it up into tracts of
two, four or six and put them out to bid. That's the only way that you
are going to get bids from the local contractors in town. The large bid
bonds or performance bonds are impossible to get. With the current number
of tax exempt properties that you have currently on the books, you are
going to create an effect where the taxable property is going to be
carrying more and more of the burden and I do not think that is fair. I
do not think you should enter into this agreement at this time unless there
are some drastic modifications made to the agreement.
Maureen Butler: I live at the end of Selief Lane. I was at the last P & Z
meeting when they voted to make the lots in question industrial. I don't
understand the issue of the disposal at this meeting tonight, if they
haven't handled the zoning of that property yet. I think that one issue
has to be taken care of before the other one can be handled. It is a big
conflict between residential and industrial back in that area and I don't
feel the two are compatible, especially if you're going to put high density
zero lot line development back there. I'm not saying that I'm totally
against the Kodiak Island Housing Authority building a project like this,
even in my neighborhood. I feel that Kodiak needs to be more informed
about what we are talking about. I am against the development at this time
until they organize the area back there better.
Pat Briggs: I do agree with you that the Borough should be in the business
of promoting land and getting it out and getting it developed. I know we
have Borough land that would be ideal for development, but not next to a
industrial park or a business zone. You have to have these buffers.
Lorna Arndt: We don't need any more low-cost housing in this town. Why
should the rest of us support them and pay their property taxes. I think
you better think of the rest of the people that have been here and not
listen to one letter you received and then ignore the rest of the people.
We need industrial.
Public Hearing closed:
Regular Session opened:
Mayor Peterson called for a five minute recess.
Regular Session closed:
Public Hearing re -opened:
Sid Cozart: I don't believe in this not being on the tax rolls. I think we
have enough burdens as it is. Disposing of this property over there where
everybody is already in disagreement I just don't agree with it. It should
be the concensus of the people and not just seven officials.
Donene Tweeten: I think the size of the lots and the rezoning should be
UI^I Ix
KIB Assembly Mtg. - Sept. 5, 1985
Page 5
decided before the disposal of the certain lands in question. I again
would like the Assembly to look at that residential -industrial complex back
there with small buffer zones.
John Parker: I would like to speak against the ordinance and see the
Borough table it because I believe there is already enough data and
adequate staff to really determine some of the financial impact that
this
is going to have on Kodiak as well as on the Borough tax rolls. Until this
evening, I was under the impression that there was probably some
additional properties that the housing authority would be developing
in
some of the outlying rural areas and I believe they have done some
excellent things in those areas out there. I believe they have done
with a lot of forethought and a lot of study. I believe that we are
that
not
C
seeing the same amount of forethought and study being done here so that
information could be presented so that all of us could look at it as
a term
of equity and reasonable business practices rather than an emotional
issue
of who is and who is not going to benefit by it.
Carol Hartman: As a hopeful participant, I hope that you will adopt this
resolution to make these Borough lands available to Kodiak Island Housing
Authority. There are always people out there that want freebies and I know
that these programs have to try to weed people out as best they can. I
think that most of the people that are in this program, that I have met and
been with, feel the same way. I don't think they want to be parasites on
this program. I think they want to have their own home.
Dan Maciak: I do have my own house. I am for this program. I believe
there is a need for this particular program. The people who would be
eligible for this need would not be people who would be eligible for the
traditional type of loans and mortgage payments. I support them and
encourage you to pass this resolution.
Alan Austerman: I think that if a little more forethought had been given to
this public hearing tonight you wouldn't have quite the long public hearing
you are having tonight. As far as the concept of the housing authority,
I agree with it. Kodiak has an inherent problem, with its fishing industry
and its economic base of needing this type of housing. You didn't give it
adequate thought before you put it up for public hearing. I am not against
the Kodiak Island Housing Authority. I am against the fact that this is
being presented at this point in time in that area.
Dennis Murray: I think without the industrial property, we really evade the
question when we continue to add more property to the tax exempt status
roles with the hope that we will be providing shelter to people that
can't otherwise afford housing. There won't be a necessity for that if we
don't have some economics. I think there are a lot of problems with this.
I am not opposed to the concept. I think if you could go out and buy a
$100,000 house, one in this subdivision and that one, you would encourage
these people because they would be part of the general community and not
isolated and segregated in one area, low cost housing.
Pat Briggs: I don't quite understand when Mr. Knight says, no he can't
make his program meet an $86,000 duplex or zero lot line where ever they
are building.
Dennis Murray: I would just like to give you one final thought, and that is
what will you do about fire protection in this area. I think that is
another issue. It's outside the city limits, not in any service district
and it's not taxable.

XI MAYOR'S COMMENTS
In the situation created over public hearing this evening, it is very
difficult sometimes to Chair the meeting up here. I know emotions run
high. I don't think it reflects very well, especially when the meetings
are aired over the radio, when there are "cat -calling" attacks from
people in public hearing process. I think it is uncalled for. I don't
see it happening on the City level and I certainly don't see why there
is a reason to do it on the Borough level. I have felt that the
Assembly has made every effort in trying to look at everybody's issue
on it.
XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. White: None.
Mr. Rounsaville: Every citizen has their rights. It bothers me to see one
citizen attacking anothers dignity. I think we all have to be aware of it
and try to respect the other individual as a worthwhile individual.
Mr. Wakefield: Maybe we should just scrap it all on the Lakeside Sub-
division and leave it all trees. Apparantly the public doesn't want us
to put land out to the other public. Personally, I am really disgusted
about it.
Mrs. Cater: I would like to comment a little bit on Lakeside Subdivision.
I don't know of any issue, since I have been on the Assembly, that I have
agonized over more. There is a difference between what I would feel
personally and what I would feel as responsibility as an Assembly member.
I think the Assembly has tried hard to look at the concerns of the
community in that area and tried to address them.
Mr. Blankenburg: None.
Ms. Barker: I would like to vote to extend till 11:45 because I would like
some time for public comments.
Ms. Barker moved to extend the meeting until finished with public comments.
Seconded by Mr. Blankenburg. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Maureen Butler: I had no idea that the Lakeside Subdivision was the
biggest chore of the Borough Assembly. As you know, I am the one that has
helped push to get the area along the lake left open. I think it is very
important to this community. This community needs places like this. It's
not asking for a great deal to have a few acres around a lake left open
when you consider the land that can be developed by the Borough.
Alan Austerman: I would like to address the economics of Kodiak. I am here
to ask or recommend that maybe a resolution could be presented to the State
of Alaska in reference to shellfish surveys. Maybe the Borough could take
a stand in reference to asking the State to consider keeping the funding in
for this type of survey.
The Assembly directed Staff to prepare such a resolution .
Pat Briggs: I would like to apologize to the Mayor and Assembly, I didn't
mean any derogative comments. I have kind of a hang-up with low-cost
housing. I would like to remind you that there must be an access to the
property before putting the land up for sale.
John Parker: I think overall the Borough employees, for the most part, are
u l" u
KIB Assembly Mtg. - Sept. 5, 1985
Page 9
very pleasurable to deal with. I feel it is very difficult for the
Assembly to make decisions with minimum data. I think the Borough should
feel it reasonable to ask for supporting data from individuals, whether
they are private developers or municipal developers, when it comes to
projects.
Dennis Murray: I would suggest to you that you have a roll call vote on
the controversial decisions so that the public knows where individual
members of the Assembly stands on those issues.
I think that when you talk about using Roberts Rules of Order you had
better understand what the rules of order are and you had better also
understand what the motion is. I think perhaps that first motion by
Ill JI Mr. Rounsaville on the referendum petition was out of order. So to rule
the second one out of order is kinda immaterial.
Donene Tweeten: I would also like to request roll call votes on the
crucial items. The audience can't tell who voted how.
I am amazed at what is happening on Lakeside. I think you should have
a work session on changing this since it was your action that you are
disagreeing on tonight. I feel the whole lake frontage should be public
lands.
Scott Arndt: You have had a lot of issues regarding Lakeside Subdivision.
You are ignoring the public testimony that has gone to Planning and
Zoning.
The other issue I would like to speak to is that it is my understanding
that there was a vote to remove me from the Service District Boards.
First off, what reason do you go ahead and make a decision while there is
an appeal before you which you haven't heard yet. I have put in a letter
appealing the Service District's decision. That is totally incorrect.
I am not on one of your Boards or Commissions and you do not have a right
to remove an elected official from another board.
Lorna Arndt: I want a copy of the motion you made tonight on my removal.
I want a letter by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow on this situation stating every-
thing and how you can do it to me.
Okey Chandler: I agree with Mr. Wakefield on the suggestion of putting in
a road and leaving the front side of the lake for a park.
Marlin Knight: I would like to apologize also. I hope most of you don't
throw up your hands and want to forget about it. I empathize with your
positions. It is a tough job.
John Hartman: I am interested in property on Kodiak. I hate to see this
Kodiak Island Housing Authority development project fall through.
