Hearing no discussion from the Commissioner's, Mr. Anderson closed
the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department. Suggested appropriate action
would be to return this plat to the applicant and ask the applicant
and his surveyor to reevaluate that and see if there is not a better
lotting configuration that could be created than what has been pro-
posed this evening.
CYNTHIA CHANDLER: Speaks in favor of this subdivision. (She indi-
cated that Mr. Povelite is in California.)
Hearing no one else speaking either for or against this subdivision,
Mr. Anderson closed the public hearing and reopened the regular

public hearing.
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department giving the history of what has
taken place so far on this matter.
IN FAVOR OF: PAUL CARR: Employed by a consulting firm, Architecture and Urban
Planning, from Anchorage named Simpson, Usher, Jones. Here by re-
quest of Mr. Mayberry. Realistic from a 1:8 ratio, and is appro-
priate for Kodiak. Juneau has a 1:4 ratio. Fairbanks hotel park-
ing requirement is a 1:6 ratio, and so is Anchorage.
KODIAK ISLAND PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
DECEMBER 20, 1§78, Borough. Assembly Chambers
PAGE 3
ART JORDAN: March 1 to October 30 each year in Kodiak needs more
parking spaces.
LIANNE DIERICH: Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Visitor's
Bureau. Supports ordinance, thinks it is a reasonable approach,
feels that more hotels are needed.
TOM SWEENEY: Berg Motors has a fleet of 10 rental cares. Feels
that there doesn't seem to be a real parking problem in the area,
and that the city has parking lots in the downtown area. One of
i— the hotels has several year round residents. Another hotel is
badly needed in Kodiak.
CECIL HANLEY: Owns a cab company. Feels there's a big problem
with a lack of hotel space not only for off/island visitor's,
but also for people visiting Kodiak from the villages who can't
find hotel rooms.
R.T. RYAN: Is a cab driver and also owns property 330' from the May-
berry property. Says that parking spaces are usually available
in downtown Kodiak, but Kodiak does occasionally have a traffic
problem, particularly in the summertime. He doesn't feel that
the development of the Mayberry hotel property would devaluate his
property.
ERNIE MILLS: Feels that the P & Z Commission can't do anything
about the traffic problem. The roads are state highways and the
state has to solve the problem. Does feel however, that the P & Z
can assist in solving the problems along with the city and borough.
The City Council is going to get involved with traffic planning.
HANK EATON: Koniag Inc., brings alot of people into town, both
from the villages and from off the island. They often have trou-
ble finding hotel space for their visitors. They also considered
r- building a hotel on the Mayberry property.
DON BAKER: We need more hotel rooms' The telephone company needs
the services of a hotel 10-15 times/week. Feels that traffic is
a concern, and that more traffic at this location is a compounding
problem. (It's not uncommon to spend 3-4 minutes to get through
that intersection. Wants the P & Z to study the request imple-
mented, and feels strong that there is a direct tie between the
variance and this amendment.
ARLENE BOVEE: Lives at 410 S. Benson, near the K.I.. Recommends
very strongly that the ordinance remain as is, and shows concerns
about pedestrian safety locating the hotel where presently proposed.
Suggested putting hotel on top of the mountain and using a chairlift
to get guests to it.
TED HILLER: Lives on Cope Street. Not against the hotel, but is
against the parking for the hotel.
REBUTTAL: THOMAS SWEENEY: Pointed out that those who park in a driveway are
breaking the law, and those who don't stop for pedestrian traffic
are also breaking the law. Owns National Auto Rental. Need more
law enforcement to alleviate some of these problems mentioned by
Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Bovee. Gave resistence to the idea of putting a
hotel up on the hill. Also made mention of the time when there
r " were parking meters here in Kodiak, there were 26 of them all over
town.
RON DOUBT: Feels that there is a tremendous parking congestion,
and traffic -flow pattern problem that does exist. Fears that the
hotel parking would be exclusively for hotel patrons and not for
the residents of Kodiak.
REBUTTAL: PAUL CARR: One zone has to be interpreted equally throughout a
community. Fire or police protection is not an issue, traffic is
not an issue. The issue here is what is an equitable parking
ratio for a hotel in Kodiak? He feels that 1:6 ratio is adequate
and acceptable in Kodiak.
Vice Chairman Anderson called for a 5 minute recess. KIBS273099

Vice -Chairman Anderson recessed the public hearing on the above
case until December 21, 1978, at 8 p.m. so that the other attorney
can be here and make his presentation.
2. Z-78-098. A request for an interpretation of Section 17.21.010
(G) of the K.I.B. Code of Ordinances, to permit mini -warehouses in
the business zoning district as a permitted use. (Koniag, Inc.)
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department. He points out that there is a
difference between mini -warehouses and warehouses perse, on a
national basis as well as in planning circles. This is not an
ordinance change.
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the regular meeting and opened the
public hearing.
HANK EATON: Employed by Koniag. Elaborated on what Mr. Milligan
presented in his staff report. The decision to construct these
mini -warehouses came from the many requests they received from
fishermen, primarily. The spaces being considered are units 5'x 7'
7'x 10'and 10'x 15', which can vary somewhat. There will be an
apartment built with these mini -warehouses and a watchman. This
facility will not all be under one roof. He anticipates 8-12 se-
parate buildings.
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the public hearing and reopened the
regular meeting after hearing no one else speaking for or against
the above request.
Some discussion followed between Mr. Milligan, Mr. Eaton and the
Commissioner's. Mr. Pugh moved that the Commission interpret
Section 17.21.010 G) of the K.I.B. Code.of Ordinances, in such a
manner that mini -warehouses be a permissible use in a business dis-
trict. Seconded by Mr. Erwin. NOTE: Mr. Anderson pointed out that
there is similar only in larger detail, warehousing in the same area
adjacent to the property in question. (Chuck Powell has a warehouse,
there's a lumber yard on the corner of Mill Bay and twelvth.)
Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
C. REZONING
1. Z-78-093. A request for rezoning of 40 acres in Tract B, U.S.S.
2735 from Conservation to Unclassified. (Charlie and Carol John-
son and Mary Becker.
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department. The K.I.B. is the 2nd Borough
in the state to have all it's lands zoned. The rezoning of this
land would allow for the subsequent subdivision and development of
the 40 acres to a density of one unit per acre, less R.O.W., to
have 32 to 34 lots, depending on subdivision and R.O.W. configura-
tions. There is a question of access. Pointed out potential for a
new community that would require school facilities and other public
facilities, and whether or not Kodiak is ready to support another
community on this property location. Some discussion followed.
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the regular meeting and opened the
public hearing.
CRAIG BISHOP: Wasn't aware of the far-reaching ramifications of
this request. R.O.W. is approximately 200' wide, and is very close
to the property line, probably 100' from the property line to the
R.O.W.. He was told that it could take up to two years to get
everything on the road in order to get this request completed, as
is intended.

Hearing no one else either speak for or against the above request,
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the public hearing and reopened the
regular meeting.
Discussion followed between the Commissioner's and Mr. Milligan.
Mr. Anderson feels that the rezoning is premature. Mr. Pugh
moved that this request be tabled. Seconded by Mr. Perez. Motion
passed by unanimous roll call vote.
Mr. Bishop asked if it would be o.k. to subdividie into 5 acre lots
if 40 acres is left as Conservation. It was pointed out that there
still had to be road access to the property.

1. Public hearing continued from last night's meeting on Case
#Z-78-100. (Leroy Mayberry)
OPPOSED TO: GERALD MARKHAM: Attorney representing property owners, Joe Carbin,
Hazel Ardinger, and Mr. and Mrs. Springhill, who live in the vicinity
where the above request would be affected. He stated his reason for
not being able to be present at last night's public hearing, and
thanked the Commission for continuing this public hearing in his be-
half. He gave a brief history of what has transpired on this matter
during the past two years. He questions the impact the hotel would
have on the traffic in the area. Said that a death had occured at
this intersection approximately one year ago, and feels safety is a
major consideration. He suggested that the Commission contact the
State Highway Department and the Chief of police concerning the
restrictiveness of three to one ratio- verses six to one ratio.
His main concerns deal with the health, safety and welfare of the
people in this community.
A discussion took place between the Commissioner's and Mr. Markham.
DUANE FREEMAN: A property owner living within 300' of the area in
question. He feels that there is a serious parking problem at this
time.
IN FAVOR OF: LEROY MAYBERRY: Related briefly what studies he has done within the
last four years to determine what would contribute best to the needs
of this community and required the least amount of parking require-
ments.
LLOYD BENTON: Is not speaking either for or against this ordinance,
just wanted to point out that five years ago that the Sheffield House
had to make application for parking and were granted a variance.
Hearing no one else speaking either for or against this request, the
Vice-chairman closed the public hearing and reopened the regular
meeting.
Mr. Pugh asked Mr. Ball if his present business association with
Mr. Mayberry would lead to a conflict of interest? Mr. Ball states
that Mr. Mayberry is presently working for Mr. Ball at this time.
Before this question ever came up, Mr. Ball states that he was for
the six to one ratio, and he feels he should be allowed to vote on
this request. Mr. Anderson read into the record a letter from
IN FAVOR OF: Arthur F. Johnson, President of Island Insurance Company, who speaks
in favor of this ordinance and says that the traffic problem in
Kodiak already exists. Whether the hotel is built or not the traffic
problem will have to be contended with.

C. REZONING
2. Z-78-097. A request for rezoning the unsubdivided portion, about
7± acres, of U.S.S. 3218 and Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Woodland Acres
Subdivision, approximately 2±, from Unclassified to Business.
(Lloyd Benton/Mike Rasmussen).
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department. There was some discussion between
Mr. Milligan and the Commissioner's.
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the regular meeting and opened the
public hearing.
IN FAVOR OF: MIKE RASMUSSEN: There is no creek on the property, but there is on
the boundary of Crestview Subdivision, along that line on the drawing,
there is a low area, with some water drainage at different times.
(rain water runoff) It's his plan to dedicate property to be used
for a sewer line as a collection point in the low area. Plans to put
in some type of business use that would require low traffic type
businesses, with no through street in there. There are other busi-
ness oriented entit'es Tread exi ting in the v'cinit of s id.area.
Mr. Anderson asked t�r. asmuRen i he d object to con�ract �usiness
zoning, and Mr. Rasmussen's initial reaction was "no", but he then
conceded to possibly considering this matter.
LLOYD BENTON: This property has been brought to P & Z twice before
this date; five years ago and two years ago. 1st time denied because
it would be spot zoning and the 2nd time was told the property in
question was too large. He feels that this I-ecation is logical for
business zoning. He plans to locate lumber business on his property,
and would object to contract zoning. It's not objectionable to him
to have residential homes side by side with businesses.
Vice-chairman Anderson closed the public hearing after, hearing no
one else speaking either in favor of or against the above request,
and reopened the regular meeting.
Mr. Ball moved to table this request, and qet together with Mr.
Benton and Mr. Rasmussen between now and our next regular meeting,
to have them in one of our work sessions where we can further dis-
cuss this. Seconded by Mrs. Crowe. Motion assed by unanimous_
roll call vote.(Work session for January 79, at 7 P.M., in
4, 19
Borough Assembly Chambers.)
3. Z-78-099. A petition to rezone Lots 1-12, Block 1; Lot 18, Block 2,
and Lots 1-9, Block 3, Russell Estates Subdivision from R-3 (multi-
family residential) to R-2 (two family residential) and rezoning of
lots 13 through 17, Block 2, and Lots 10 through 15, Block 3, Rus-
sell Estates Subdivision from Unclassified to R-2 (two family resi-
dential). Kodiak Island Borough P & Z Commission.
Mr. Milligan presented the staff report based on a memorandum pre-
pared by the Planning Department.

KODIAK ISLAND PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING PAGE 8
DECEMBER 2Oth continued to December 21, 1978
Borough Assembly Chambers
IN FAVOR OF: JIM HIKUS: Lives on the east side of Larch, which is presently
R-3. He wants it changed to R-2. Owns Lot 5, Block Russell
Estates.
DON BAKER: Owns Lots 11, Block 3, Russell Estates. Stated that
snow removal is a problem, traffic is a problem, parking is a prob-
lem, and the zoning is a hodge-podge situation. Feels this rezon-
ing is in the best interest of the community at large.
HAROLD BRIGHTON: Owns property adjacent to the area. Agrees with
Mr. Baker's statement in rezoning to R-2. Lives on Lot 8, Block 7,
Baranof Heights. Noise and deevaluation of the property, to him,
is an added problem. Wasn't aware of what the zoning was in the
area when he purchased his property.
NORMAN CLEMINACK: Presently building a structure on one of the lots
in question, which he thinks is zoned Unclassified. Lives on Lot 16
Block 3, Russell Estates. (lives two lots up from Jerry Gudenau's
tri-plex.)
FRED GAFFNEY: Lives on Lot 9, Block 1, Russell Estates. He also
owns other pieces of property in the area that is being considered
for rezoning. Gave brief history of what has transpired in that
area since he bought his property. He got 43 people in the area to
sign a petition for this rezoning. 11 of those 43 own property
within the area being considered. He says that 9 out of the 25
people who signed the counter petition live in the immediate area,
and 2 of those 9 actually own property in the area being considered
for rezoning.
JAMES RAMAGLIA: Owner of Lot 7, Block 3, Russell Estates. (this
was a letter that was read into the record). Bought his property
in 1975 thinking it was R-2 zoning. Wants it rezoned R-2.
OPPOSED TO: GERALD GUDENAU: Owns Lot 18, Block 2, Russell Estates Subd..
His property was rezoned from Unclassified to R-3 some time ago.
(Mr. Anderson read this letter into the record.)
BRUCE BEEHLER: (Mr. Pugh read this letter into the record.)
Owns Lot 6, Block 3, Russell Estates Subd.. Has lived in Kodiak
5 years. Last year, this time, he purchased R-3 property and in-
vested his total finances to make this purchase and built a triplex.
It's worthy of notice that some of the people who signed Mr. Gaffney's
petition were sympathetic with my counter petition and even agreed
with me, but wouldn't sign my counter petition because they felt
"spooky" about signing their names twice. Noted that there was no
opposition to Gudenau's triplex and rezoning to R-3 in July, '78.
STAN FISCHER: Owns several of the lots which will be affected by
this proposed rezoning, they are Lots 14 & 15, Block 3, Russell
Estates Subd.. Am not personally satisfied with the evidence that
has been presented to you as reasons for this change. He suspects
that a number of persons signing the Gaffney petition signed because
of their concerns about the Lily Lake Development and the Capas pro-
ject, not because of a triplex. He doesn't feel that the good points
brought up by various neighbors in the area are not sufficient to
help the Commission make a good judgment on this request. Doesn't
feel that the matter has been adequatley presented or studied. The
economic issue wasn't presented adequately. States that there are
9 lots undeveloped in the area. Offered to help gather information
for the Commission, if they are willing to table this matter at this
time. Mr. Perez pointed out that the developers of the road made it
the way they did because people didn't want to lose the trees, and
that it zigzags like it does to keep trees up for wind protection.
Feels that the zoning is backwards.

Vice-chairman Anderson closed the public hearing, after hearing
no one else desiring to speak either for or against this request,
and reopened the regular meeting.
Mr. Pugh questioned Mr. Milligan as to whether or not he thought
that there would be any way that this area might be put under a form
of contract zoning where lots were limited to triplex's only, no
matter what the square footage was? Mr. Milligan's first reaction
was to say "no".
Mr. Ball moved to table this matter for further study, (due to the
hour), at one of our work sessions. Seconded by Mr. Perez. Motion

VI COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS
Mr. Perez wanted to know what direction the Commission has to go to get an
extension of that Selief Road to Borough land and City land to make another
exit?
VII AUDIENCE COMMENTS KIBS273105
ART BORS; Asked the Commission to consider a rezoning request, originally
made by Bertha Pratt.
Mr. Milligan related to the Commission that the status of the
Pratt property at this time is zoned R-1. Has been hanging in
limbo after being tabled and put on a 45 day waiting period,
which has long since lapsed.
Mr. Anderson suggested that Mr. Bors go into a study session with
the Commission, on this request. Mr. Anderson read into the re-
cord the Ordinance relating to this request.
Mr. Milligan indicates that in his discussion with the Borough
attorney, in regards to contract zoning, that the enabling
legislation amended into Title 29 providing for contract zoning
is adequate to allow the Commission to proceed to zone by con-
tract or by district. Mr. Bors felt restriction concerning the
35' limitation. He'd like to incorporate some sort of alternate
energy source, probably wind driven electrical generators, which
would heat water, not to provide electricity for burning lights,
KODIAK ISLAND PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING

PAGE 10
and that type of thing, but for a heat source. Very possibly
these wind driven mechanisms would require more than a 35'
height restriction. They would probably be mounted on the
roof of the building, making them safe and out of the way.
He feels that the proposed terms are fair, with the exception
of the height restriction, and are acceptable.
Mr. Milligan noted that the basic building height in a business
district is 50'.
Mr. Bors related the history behind what has happened on this
piece of property. Feels this location is a very good spot
for this facility. The two things, that are at present, stumb-
ling blocks are: 1) expeditious decision, 2) finances of this
project.

parking spaces does not pass the Borough Assembly, could we
