Material Sale Contract and Special Use Permit in Bells Flats. The letters were read. Mr. Waller disqualified himself from voting on this matter due to financial r interests. Mr. Waller explained that the Company had a lease for this area with the Federal Government prior to the earthquake. When the State selected the area, the lease was referred to them, and they in turn referred the Conpany to the Borough, since the Borough selection covers part of the area. Mr. Wa]l.er further stated that considerable money had been invested in hiring geologists to inspect the gravel and to build a road into the area. He felt that because of this, consideration should be given to their request for a lease. There was some discrepancy in the metes and bounds description of the sites, and Mr. Best will determine the exact areas when he visits the Division of Lands in Anchorage. After further discussion, Mr. Haney made a motion, seconded by Mr. Valley, that further action be tabled until more information is obtained about the exact location of the land.

Designation of Areas for School and Playgrounds in Monashka Bay Subdivision. Mr. Valley reported that after a review of the area, it had been found that the lots reserved for the Henley sawmill were the best for a school. It is the largest flat area, is removed from the highway by .& ridge, and is located centrally within the subdivision. There remains a question of whether Mr. Henley will have a claim to the lots when the sawmill is removed, but there is no such clause in his lease agreement. These lots are in Block 4, Lots 4, 5, and 6. A good playground area was found to be Lots 5 and 6 in Block 5. There is a shallow Ace which could be filled or left for an ice skating pond in the winter, and there are also trout in the lake. It is a flat area, and there is material to fill the lake, if desired. Mr. Best suggested that a playground area also be designated on the other side of the highway. It was decided that Block 2 would be suitable. Mr. Valley and Mr. Waller will explore the block and choose the best lot, so that the State can be notified as soon as possible as to which lots will be withheld from the sale. Mr. Best suggested that the lots not be specifically designated as to their exact usage, but that they merely be reserved for future public use. Mr. Waller made a ration, seconded by Mr. Welch, that it be recommended to the Assembly that r Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 in Block 4 Lots 5 and 6 in Block 5. and one lot, still to be chosen in Block 2, all in the Monashka Bay Subdivision, be withheld from the land sale for future public use. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. B. Discussion on Revision of Trailer Park Ordinance. Mr. Best explained that there was a need for the ordinance to be spelled out in more detail, leaving as little room for interpretation as possible. The question of how large leantos should be was discussed. Mr. Stansbury recommended that the limit be 2/3 the size of a trailer, and covering only one trailer exit, so that another exit would be availble from the trailer. This is in case a fire started in the leanto. The question of defining campers and whether they should be permitted in trailer parks was also discussed. Mr. Stansbury felt that they should be defined by square footage, as well as plumbing requirements, since the National Building Code requires a minimum square footage for living space. The Commissioners had not yet received their copies of the proposed revision, and were requested by Mr. Best to be prepared for further discussion at the next meeting. C. Mr. Welch re Fire Department. Mr. Welch was concerned that the Fire Department was not being operated on a 24-hour basis. It was reported that plans have been made to provide an apartment above the fire hall so that it can be staffed on a 24-hour basis. It was also reported that a new telephone alarm system is being used which is much more efficient than the siren system. D• Comprehensive Planning & Economic Development Committee. Mr. Waller reported that at the first meeting 1,7r. Chapman outlined what the Plan will cover. Mr. Chapman will prepare an outline of information needed for the OEDP application, and work will be done on this at the next meeting. E. Borough flaps. Mr. Best stated that a one --inch to 100 mapping system is still being discussed, but was not included in the FY 67-68 budget. Tryck, Nyman and Hayes will attempt preparing their maps for the Plan so that they will fit protracted sections which would be used for the one. -inch to 100 maps,.
