VII ZONING ITEMS -- PRELIMINARY REVIEW
A. Request for Location of Youth Center on Aleutian Homes Inc. Subdivision, Blk 8,
Loth Kodiak Island Youth Center. Inc. (166-A). The case was reviewed.
The City Council had already granted a ver in the building code for the use
of the piling foundation originally intended for the Aleuian Homes warehouse.
A letter from DHUD was read expressing non objection to the building being
located closer than 45 feet to their property line. Mr. Cannon stated that
Mr. Hobbs of DHUD would favorably consider a future application for the
surrounding lots to be deeded to the city for additional recreational use.
In view of these circumstances, the Attorney had verbally advised that a
variance would not be necessary. Ccuncilman Bullock objected to allowing this
location without going thMugh the formal procedure required for a variance.
He also objected to the City granting a variance in the building code, since
this building was to be used by young people and might jecperdize their safety.
He had received calls from people in the area objecting to the possible parking
and traffic problem. Mr. Cannon replied that there will be plenty of parking
space, since the building will take up only one lot, and there are four lots
involved. Also, the building will be insulated for fire protection. After
further discussion, action on the request was tabled pending a written opinion
from the attorney, since it was felt from the attorney's verbal opinion that
no action was actually required, since the zoning ordinance as amended permits
a youth center in any district.
