Villiams made a motion to rezone the whole Baranof Heights from R-2 to R-3. Seconded by Mr. Waller. During discussion, it was pointed out that the owners of the individual lots which have already been sold by Baranof Heights might object to being included in such a rezoning. Nr.

Baranof Heights, Inc. - Case 163-A Mr. Best explained that this rezoning would include the Spruce Manor apartments, and that the exception reque.sted under VII-C would have permitted the construc- tion of a new wing onto the apartments before the rezoning process is completed, since immediate construction is desired. The rezoning would also include several lots which have not yet been sold by Baranof Heights on which apart- ments may be constructed. In addition, it would include the lots on which the Kodiak Bible Chapel will be built. It was agreed that this would be a logical rezoning, and that it would be some alleviation to the urgent demand for R-3 areas. Mr. Williams made a motion that it be recommended that the Assembly accomplish the requested rezoning, and that a pu blic hearing not be held by the Com ission since this would expedite the request, and if there are objections, they will be heard at the public hearing held by the Assembly. Seconded by Mr. Waller and carried by unanimous voice vote. VIII SUBDIVISIONS - PRELIMINARY APPROVALS - None IX SUBDIVISIONS - FINAL APPROVALS A. Airpark Blk 6, Lots 1-9, SS 1396 - Corp, of Catholic Bishops of Anchorage (Case The plat was studied. Hr. * : rcchberg questioned the possibility of satisfactory sewerage by septic tanks pnd drain fields which would be allowed since the lots to be sold are one -acre lots, because of the location of the swamp area. Mr. Barr, representing the Catholic Bishops, stated that he believes there is a City ordi anc which re Tres that all residences within 1500 feet of the City sewer line must connect to it, which wituld eliminate the possibility .ty of septic tanks. He also felt that if this was not the case, by placing fill and completing other proper procedures, septic tank arrangements could be successfully accomplished in the area. After further discussion, Mr. Breckberg made a motion that the final plat be approved. Seconded by Mr. Welsh and carried by unanimous voice vote. B. SS 3100 Lot 13 -- Elmcr Jesser - Case 158 -A lit. Barr, representing the Jessers, explained the background on this plat. It had been previously surveyed by Hugh Tyler, aproved by the School District Platting Board, and properly recorded in the Hagi trate' s Office. However, an error was later found in the plat, and it was removed by Mr. Tyler from the Magistrate's Office in order for him to illegally correct the error. A lawsuit was brought against him, but he died before the suit was settled. The Jessers desire to replat the area in an orderly fashion, but must first have this plat recorded, since at the present time there is no recorded plat on file for them to vacate in order to replat. Mr. Barr has corrected the original error, as well as several other errors which he found in the plat. After further discussion, Mr. Waller moved that the plat be recommended for final approval by the Assembly. Seconded by =fir. Breckberg and carried by unanimous voice vote.
