MEMORANDUM
October 9, 1985
Planning and Zoning Commission
David C. Crowe, Borough Engineer
SUBJECT: Case No. VS-85-058, Variance from 16.20.050(C) (as originally
advertised); and Subdivision of Block 15, KODIAK TOWNSITE ALASKA;
to Lots 1 and 2, Block 15 (City of Kodiak)
Mr. Wayne Kotula, owner of Lot 6, Block 7, Aleutian Homes Inc. Subdivision, has
petitioned the City of Kodiak to sell him the portion of Block 15 of Kodiak Townsite
Alaska on which his driveway is constructed.
Due to the terrain adjacent to Thorsheim Street, Mr. Kotula evidently had an
agreement with the original owner of Block 15 to allow him driveway access across
Block 15. Now that the City has purchased Block 15, Mr. Kotula desires to obtain
title to this land, and the City Council has agreed to sell the land to him.
This same land is part of a subdivision (Case 5-84-019) revising the location of Cedar
Street, which was granted preliminary approval by the Commission on April 18, 1984
subject to inclusion of utility easements needed by local utilities being shown on the
plat. A portion of Proposed Lot 1 is involved in the easement still being negotiated
by KEA for their new transmission line.
The land is zoned Business, and, as such, does not require a variance from minimum
lot area requirements, as there are none.
I recommend that this subdivision be returned to the applicant, and that the creation
of Lot 1 be included on the final plat for Case No. S-84-019 when all of the utility
easements are finalized, as any easement granted KEA for their new transmission
line will affect Lot 1.
