Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
A. Assembly - ll/2/67. There were no comments.
B. Comprehensive Planning & Economic Development Committee - 10/17/67. It was

while the P&Z Commission would be handling immediate problems.
C. Hospital Board - ll/l/67. Mr. Haney asked why no helicopter landing pad had

at the Lions Club. Mr. Best stated that if the hospital is expanded, it will
be horizontally, and not by adding another story. It was suggested that

I V CORRESPONDENCE - PEOPLE TO BE HEARD
A. Letter from Dale Tubbs and John Waller re Kodiak Land Co. Material Sale Contract
Cora-ec4i ens and Special Use Permit in Bells Flats. Mr. Waller disqualified himself due to
financial interest in this matter. Mr. Best explained that he had discussed
IDS, +e-s o4-2. this with Mr. Sa.check. There are two sites involved, connected to
no 4- n.CLj.-c0,t one another. One is the plant site, which is inside the Borough se ection3
for which the Borough would receive $240/year. The other is the material site
for 10,000 cubic yards of gravel. This is outside the Borough selection. The
Borough could select the area in order to receive the $2500 for the sale.
The stipulations on the plant site agreement are to remove all equipment and
restore the site to an orderly condition at the end of the contract. The
stipulations on the material site contract are that any removal of gravel at
a fishing site must be approved by Fish and Game; the land must be left smooth
and any holes replaced, and the pits must not be deeper than 10 feet or the
is 2V.co un{ ground water table, w -hp,(is least The Borough could add any other
stipulations they wish. The State said that they felt morally obligated to
rs� giant this contract for one year in order for the Kodiak Land Co. to come up
-P 4-S,tL .s with a firm survey for possible purchase of the land later on. After discussion
yen..-s- and map study, Mr. Haney moved, seconded by Mr. Wallace, that it be recommended
to the Assembly that they approve the contract for the sale of material per
the amended legal description, and the contract for the plant site. Motion
i carried by roll call vote with Mr. Waller abstaining. KIBS272554
B. Letter from Bill
Proposed Material Sale. The letter was read. Mr. Best explained that this has
nothing to do with the previously discussed plant and material sale site, but
involves another area that the State has proposed to set aside for gravel sales
in order to take care of other requests that they have had. The parcels would
be offered under an auction type lease for the material at a certain price per
yard. The State has and is still inspecting the water and sewer lines in the
area. It has been found that some portions might be used, but it would take
considerable work to put them into working order. Some feel that they are not
worth salvaging. These sites are within Borough selected land and the Borough
would receive the Rands from the sales. The sites are outside of the currently
planned subdivision, but Mr. Waller felt that these would make good future
building sites and these sales would destroy them. Two of the Commissioners
were not familiar with the area. Mr. Welch moved, seconded by Mr. Valley, to
table action on this matter until the next meeting in order to give the
PLANNING &.ZONING =OMISSION - November 8, 1967
other Commissioners a chance to look at the area. Motion carried by unanimous
voice vote. Mr. Stansbury suggested that if the sales were made, the gravel
removers could be required to strip the overburden, stockpile it, and replace
it after their work is completed. Mr. Haney suggested that the area could then
be withheld possibly for a school location or other public use.
C. Letter from Bill Sacheck re Land Available for Boro Selection. Letter was
read stating that the Borough can select a otal of 52.3 4 acres as of
October 23, less the acres already selected.
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS - None
• 1 7. �i Si_ s'�l�ttl�
A. Petition for Vacation of Subdivision of Lots 1-9 and 16 USS 3233 -- T. T. Jackson
rk..e petition wes read. The vacation of this subdivision was requested since
none of the lots have been sold and now a trailer court has been established in
the area, which makes the subdivision of no value. After some discussion, Mr.
Haney moved, seconded by Mr. Welch, that the petition be approved for advertising
for public hearing. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
VIII SUBDIVISIONS - PRELgINARY
A. Request for Extension to File Final Plats -• Baranof

Baranof Heights, explaine that one extension had already been granted for
filing the final plats for these subdivisions, but that there is still further
construction to be completed. Also, the zoning in the area was based on these
preliminary plats. After further review and discussion, Iir. Wallace moved,
seconded by Mr. Haney, that the request for an extension of 6 months in which
to file the final plats be granted. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
It was pointed out that there is an advantage in having such preliminary plats
on file for zoning purposes and future planning.

1;4 W•i1!1I1&*AIUx.M
A. Borough Engineer. Mr. Best explained that the City has been paid by the hour
for the work Mr. Jones has done for the Borough, but that Mr. Jones had
objected to this arrangement because he already has a very heavy workload for
the City and receives no additional compensation for the Borough work. Mr.
Best suggested to the City that Mr. Jones accomplish the Borough work during
hours that he is not working for the City, and that Mr. Jones submit a fee
schedule for such an arrangement, but that the City does not look favorably
upon this arrangement. This problem must be resolved since Mr. Jones has
declined to do any further work for the Borough.
XI PLANNING & STAFF ITEMS
A. Disc
were
KJBS272555
Park Ordinance. The following suggestions
evision #2 of the Trailer Park Ordinance.
1. It mast be determined whether P&Z should hold a public hearing concerning
the granting of an exception for land use as a trailer court, or if just
one public hearing can be held by the Assembly on the entire request for
a trailer court.
2. Mr. Stansbury felt that a vacation trailer should be defined by size and
weight rather than by whether it has bathroom facilities, since the Uniform
Building Code requires a minimum floor space for each room of a dwelling.
3. It was suggested that a trailer park permit be required for 3 or more
trailers only, and that two trailers on a lot be given individual permits.
4. It was suggested that it be added that no additional trailers be added to
existing parks until a license has been obtained under the new ordinance.
