Scott Arndt Board Removal Hearing Mel Stephens, Scott Arndt's Attorney, presented two legal argu- ments in the Just Cause Removal Hearing and asked that one copy of his notes be made part of the record. These notes were accepted for the Record at 7:05 p.m. He then proceeded to explain his arguments. Mayor Peterson clarified that the motion of removal was based on the Assembly's decision not to give Mr. Arndt an Appeal Hearing as he had requested. Scott Arndt stated he had not received anything from the Assembly that he was not to be given an Appeal Hearing. Mayor Peterson proceeded to ask Scott Arndt questions pertinent to the Just Cause Hearing as to why he should not be removed from the Board. Scott Arndt stated: 1. He requested alternate services. 2. He signed a blank check. It was an agreement and he expect- ed it to be fair and equitable. 3. $9,015.60 computed correctly based on the Contractor. 4. Pertinent reasons not be pay K.I.B.: a. Service requested not put in the way it was requested. b. Has a problem with paying unjust and unfair bills. Mel Stephens commented for the record that the Mayor stated earlier this was not an Appeal Hearing but a Just Cause Hearing, and factual questions concerning the justness of the billing were being raised. Mayor Peterson stated that the record should show that Mr. Arndt's attorney also presented in the Just Cause Hearing factual information that deals with Mr. Arndt's Letter of Appeal Hearing.

Assembly Meeting 2 October 3, 1985 A. Ord. No. 85-28-0(A) Rezoning Portions Of "Miller Point Area". Mr. Rounsaville moved to adopt Ordinance 85-28-0(A). Seconded by Mr. Wakefield. Regular Meeting closed. Public Hearing opened. Sue Klemzak spoke against the rezoning of the area and would like to see a definite plan so property owners would know what they are getting into when they buy the property. Lorna -Lee Arndt recommended R-2 for Crestview and felt nothing should be zoned Business or R-3. Marilyn Quaccia is not a resident of the area, disagreed with Mrs. Arndt that there is not a need for business land in Kodiak. There needs to be a plan, should not just blanket areas with R-2 zoning. Public Hearing closed. Regular Session reconvened. Steve Rennell, P & Z Commission, stated rezoning from R-1 to R-2 is a quantum leap. A lot of uses in R-2 are not family uses. Idea behind different designation is that people in the neighbor- hood would have a better idea of what the uses were going to be. The Commission held three Public Hearings and people in the area definitely want it to be rezoned. Sue Klemzak added that there is a higher density in the area now and the nature of area is changing. There is water and sewer in the area now. In response to questions from the Assembly, Sid Cozart stated that no one was in favor of R-3 except one individual who was a real estate agent trying to sell property. He was against Business. He reiterated that at the P & Z hear- ings, most people were in favor of R-2, now they're against that. He wants it rezoned now. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Mayor Peterson called for a five minute recess. Regular Meeting opened. B. Ord. No. 85-29-0 Rezoning The "Lakeside Subdivision Area". Ms. Barker moved to amend by substitution Ord. No. 85-29-0(A). Seconded by Mr. White. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Amendment has been adopted. Regular Meeting closed. Public Hearing opened. Lisa Schultz lives on Selief Lane and stated they bought a house in a nice residential area three years ago. Now this is an area where they are building apartments and duplexes which wasn't why they bought there. They don't think the area is planned well. She felt it should be R-1 completely and should be large lots. Dale Soughers stated that if Industrial zoning is given up for R-2 zoning which is higher density, it seems the planning is for housing a lot of people but not planning for them to work. A situation is not being created where these people can work. Maureen Butler spoke against the Ordinance. The area has R-1, R-2, and Industrial zones. She didn't feel that all these zones needed to be developed in such a small area. She suggested developing one zone in this area and developing another zone with a green belt would be more realistic. She felt there is a need K.I.B. Assembly Meeting 3 October 3, 1985 lJ I"IOCA for all these zones but when all are put together, no one is going to be happy. She wants to see the area developed properly. Don Fields, a resident of Dark Lake, spoke for his family and his parents who were on vacation. He said that things change over the years. Seven years ago no one wanted Industrial in the area. He appreciated the reinstatement of Public Use lands around Beaver Lake for park. He said that he could live with R-1. He was adamantly opposed to Block 3 put into R-2. He did not want to compromise on the R-2 for this area. Mike Anderson stated that he was opposed to the R-2 block. He said it was too close an Industrial zone and conflicts with neighbors will occur. The land in this area is Borough land and if it is going to be disposed of, he thinks it should be at an auction or in some other manner where everybody has a chance at it. Marilyn Quaccia opposed the rezoning only because it precludes the sale of the land to the Kodiak Housing Authority. Also, she thought there was too much usage in a small area. Debbie Fuelling lives a couple of blocks from Beaver Lake. She appreciated the fact the area around Beaver Lake was zoned for Public Use. She would like to see the whole area zoned as R-1. George Griffing lives on Selief Lane and appreciates the rezoning to Public Use Lands. He does not appreciate the hodge podge of different zoning in the area. He feels the rules are changing and would like to see R-1 in the area. He said the zoning change would adversly affect the value of the people's houses that are already there. Marlene Wanzak spoke in favor of rezoning to R-2. Lee Carney is a resident of Selief Lane but not a property owner. She appreciated the rezoning of the land around Beaver Lake as it' enhances the quality of her life in Kodiak. Jim Eggemeyer stated that his family had lived in Kodiak for a long time. He said that as far as the Industrial zoning goes, look at downtown Kodiak, business needs to go someplace. Okey Chandler said there was no shortage of houses because one house out of ten was for sale. He could see no reason for crowding R-2 in the area and R-1 was dense enough. Sid Cozart lives about five miles from this area. He said Selief Lane was one of the most unorganized zoning areas he had ever seen in his life. He stated that there was no access to it and there was no rhyme or reason to the whole thing. Stacy Pillow said for the record that she lived about half a mile from the proposed R-2 area and was for it. Clarence Selig stated that he has been in Kodiak for quite a few years. He was in favor of the rezoning as it has been stated. He thanked the Assembly for thinking about the park lands. Marlin Knight said he thought initially the Borough Assembly had in mind to rezone the area R-l; a higher overall density than what is proposed now. He stated that it was a third of what was originally proposed by the Borough Assembly and through the L Public Hearing process changes had been made. He said that some people thought the Housing Authority was doing something under- handed by presenting a proposal to the Assembly. He said it was done in good faith. They were are not asking for a give-away and they were paying fair market value for the property. He was trying to set the record straight. Ken Parker spoke for the rezoning and thought it was a compromise over what was presented several month ago. He said he was a participate of the Housing Authority's program and could stand to gain from this program; irregardless, he thought the rezoning was good. K.I.B. Assembly Meeting 4 October 3, 1985 CID Lorna -Lee Arndt spoke against R-2 zoning. She thought the area should be used for a school. She said if the area was used for low incoming housing no taxes would be paid for 25 years. Donene Tweeten opposed R-2 in the area. She thanked the Assembly for rezoning Beaver Lake to Public Land use. Janice Nixon spoke in favor of the rezoning the area to R-2. Scott Arndt stated that Kodiak needs an Industrial area and feels such an area needs to be created. He does not feel Block 3 should be zoned residential. Cliff Vogelsberg opposed R-2 rezoning. He applauded making the lake side property Public Lands. John Jensen lives on Selief Lane. He thanked the Assembly for putting the Public Use lands around the lake. He was in favor of low-income housing but opposed to it being located in this area. Scarlet Parker spoke in favor of the rezoning the area to R-2. Public Hearing closed. Regular Meeting opened. Mr. White moved to amend Lot 1 through 17, Block 3 Lakeside Subdivision First Addition, rezoned from RR-1 (Rural Residential 1) to R-1 (Single Family Residential). Seconded by Mr. Rounsaville.

Mr. White moved to adopt Resolution 85-85-R. Seconded by Mr. Wakefield. Regular Meeting closed. Public Hearing opened. Scott Arndt questioned priorities and whether the State projects should be on a separate list. Wanted the economic base empha- sized for a change. Felt the Fisheries Industrial Technology Center should be first on the list. Lorna Arndt felt the School Repairs should be Number 1 and listed other improvements in the order that she thought of importance. John Witteveen thanked the Assembly for the capital list and supported passage in the order listed. Okey Chandler felt the community needs other things worse than a new hospital. John French doesn't see how we are going to maintain the indus- trial base without a Fisheries Industrial Technology Center. He felt it should be a clear individual priority above the other capital priorities. Steve Rennell felt Solid Waste Disposal Site should be No. 1. Need to follow through on this issue. John Parker thought the capital project No. 9 Borough Apart- ments/Upgrade needed to be changed to catch the attention of the legislature and reflect the true nature of the use of these apartments. Horace Simmons felt the Fisheries Industrial Technology Center should be moved up in front of the Hospital in priorities. K.I.B. Assembly Meeting 5 October 3, 1985 Believed in the ordering of a list, number 1 should be things we are willing to work toward. Wilton White, member of the Hospital Advisory Board, stated that the hospital facilities are substantially under State code requirements. Requests for money should be based on the fact that renovating the present facilities to meet State standards would bring the cost within 10 to 20 percentage points of the price of a new facility. He stressed that Kodiak was competing with other communities in Alaska for funds allocated for health care and not competing with the Fish Tech Center or Cold Storage for funds allocated to their areas. j Jeff Stephens, representative of United Fishermen's Marketing Association, concerned that the breakwater was not on the CIP list and requested that it be placed on the list, preferably as number 1. Ben Ardinger, member of the Hospital Advisory Board, concurred with Wilton White's comments. He would like to see the Fish Tech Center moved up to number 2. Public Hearing closed. Regular Meeting opened. Mr. Rounsaville moved to amend Res. 85-85-R by moving the Fish Tech Center up to number 1 and inserting St. Herman's Bay breakwater for $6 million as number 5.

Mrs. Cater moved to extend the Assembly meeting to 12:00 p.m. F]� Seconded by Mr. Wakefield. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Mayor Peterson recessed the meeting for five minutes. Regular Meeting reconvened. D. Res. No. 85-90-R Approving A Portion Of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3468 (Smokey's Dump) For The Construction Of A Solid Waste Baling Facility. Mr. Wakefield moved to adopt Resolution 85-90-R. Seconded by Mr. Rounsaville. Ray Camardella, Borough Facilities Coordinator, discussed the siting of the baling facility and environmential questions. Landfill close-out procedures were outlined. Regular meeting closed. Public Hearing opened. John Fields felt the safety of children in the proposed high density area adjacent to this facility should be considered. He felt the facility should be accessed from a different area. He didn't think it was a good idea to put the facility in this area but realized the Borough was running out of choices. John Parker discussed the Facilities development and questioned whether there would be a staging area in case the baler broke down. He stated there was no market for scrap metal to dispose of the compacted vehicles, etc.. He believed that there should be a large segment of land to handle future eventualities. He wondered if there was some other direction to go. Maureen Butler spoke against the location. She would rather see it built in the present location. K.I.B. Assembly Meeting 6 October 3, 1985 U 1'-i b `j Edward Coe, owner of Kodiak Auto Wrecking and Salvage and lease holder of Smokey's Dump, explained he was aware of the problems to the neighborhood if the baler was placed there and if his bid on the operation was successful, he would run it in a clean and efficient manner. He felt the dump and recycling center should be consolidated in the same area. He pointed out that DEC requires a sewer line for a baling facility and one is available at this site. Lorna -Lee Arndt felt the Borough should not take over garbage powers. It was too costly an operation. Okey Chandler recommend a place be selected that would be usable for years to come. Scott Arndt felt the landfill, metal dump, and baler facilities should be in one location. He thinks the existing landfill site is the most economical to operate over the long term. Public Hearing closed. Regular Meeting opened. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. III. OLD BUSINESS A. Ord.
