VII ZONING ITEMS - PRELIMINARY REVIEW
A. Reauest for FerriQsicnto Build Warehouse in R-2 Zone -
Application letter was read and map studied. Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Franklin,
representing DHUD, were of the opinion that this building would be considered
an accessory use and would be permitted as such in the Aleutian Hones parcel
of land. Mr. Franklin explained the need for the warehouse, and that several
of the homes would have to be used for storage if a warehouse could not be
constructed. The Conuission was of the opinion that the warehouse could not
be considered as an accessory use, and it was also pointed out thht it could
not be allowed as an exception, either. The question was also raised as to
whether it was necessary for DHUD to obtain a permit to construct this building,
since it is a governmental agency. Mr. Cross made a notion, seconded by Mr.
Welch, that an opinion on these matters be requested from the Borough Attorney.
Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

Mr. Therkelsen's petition was reviewed. b4 individuals signed the petition i
favor of the rezoning, and 3 individuals signed in favor of the Drive -In
F'- property remaining Business. Mr. Therkelsen reported that he had been unable
to contact 10 other people, and that 6 or 7 had been against the rezoning.
The case was reviewed, and Mr. Ruskin's opinion that rezoning the Drive -In
property only would not be considered spot zoning if it was beneficial to the
community, was read. Mr. Beukers, who lives next to the Drive -In property,
objected to those lots and the other lots being rezoned to Business. He felt
that tYn businesses are more an eyesore and a nuisance than a benefit to the
neighborhood. After further discussion, Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Cross,
made a motion that a public hearing on this rezoning be held on June 7, and
that it be placed on the agenda for further discussion at the May 24 meeting.
Mr. Bolden, from the audience, recalled the petition he had presented some
time ago requesting that all of Leite Addn be kept strictly residential.
Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

Borough Engineer explaining necessity for amendment created by error in State
Highway boundaries was read. Plat mas studied. Mr. Williams moved, seconded
by Mr. Welch, that the amended plat be approved. Motion carried by unanimous
voice vote.
C. Reouest for Extension of Time to File Final Plats - Baranof Heiehts Subdivision
explained that these preliminary plats had been filed to clarify the zoning of
the area and to obtain financing for the construction of the utilities, but
that Baranof Heights is unable to file the final plats at this time. The
sewer is completed in the First Addition, but 1200 feet of road and water line
remain. One extension has already been granted on these plats, and a second
one would keep them current. Otherwise they would have to be re -submitted in
preliminary forth when Baranof Heights was ready to file the final plats. Mr.
Best did not know how soon this will be. After some discussion, Mr. Williams
made a motion, seconded by Mr. Welch, that an additional extension of six
months be granted. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
D. Review of Preliminary Copy of Updated Zoning Map. Map was studied. The
Commission's previous recommendation that the map be put onto several sheets
on a larger scale was recalled. Mr. Best suggested that the map be put onto
State Plane Coordinates and drawn on a 111 to 100 scale. The present map could
be used for a cover sheet. Mr. Best has discussed this with the City/Borough
Engineer, who is in favor of the plan. The map would be valuable for utility,
assessing, and survey information, and possibly the coat could be shared by
the Borough, the City, and KEA, if they were interested. Mr. Cross also
pointed out that a good set of maps would be of great value in formulating a
new comprehensive plan. The Commission concurred in recommending that this
map work be included in the upcoming budget.

Richmond.
XII B. City Junk Yard Ordinance. Mr. Cross commented on the "junk" situation in
Kodiak. Mr. Stansbury reported that May 31 is the deadline for cleaning up
anything that can be classified as junk. After that date, court summonses
will be issued to those not in compliance with the junkyard ordinance.
