Iv ZONING ITEMS - PRELIFITIARY PEVIEIN
A. Request for Exception to Build Duplexes in RI Zone - east Blk 40 Lot 12, 13 y.
Art Zimmer (Case 161-A)
Application letter was read, as well as a previous attorney's opinion that
exceptions cannot be granted in residential zones. It vas sested that
the entire block be rezoned to however, these lots are too small for
duplexes, and it was agreed that a variance should not be granted in this
ease. After considerable discussion, r. Zimmer agreed to build the two
houses as single family dwellings with basements.
PLANNING AND STAFF ITV,
A. Ordinance Revision. The Commission discussed with Mr. Best variou items which
should be changed in the Zoning Ordinance, such as permitting higher buildings,
smaller yard and lot requirements, etc. -r. Best reported that his committee
was taking the Zoning Ordinance in three sections at a time for revision work.
It was agreed that the trailer park ordinance needs little revision, nor does
the subdivision ordinance, except for technicalities suc h as type of monuments,
etc. 1r. Best will attempt to attend as many Pfa meetings as possible, and
requested further suggestions for revisions in the ordinances.
B. Z2Eing_iim. ,4r. :ansen :arse obtained a new city map from olland Jones, and will have
the up to date zoning colored in by the next meeting. It will then be possible
to color the present zoning rap, so that the present zoning can be shown outside
the city limits.
Some discussion was held on possibilities of general rezoning. It was generally
agreed that possibly Kodiak does not require any r1 zoning. This would enable
people to build better homes by renting basement apartments. Those who wished
to build strictly single family dwellings could still do so. The great need
for more P3 area was pointed out. 'fir. Hansen suggested that when the map is
updated by coloring, it will be easier to determine what rezonings should be
recommended.
Ur. Best described Anchorage's excellent mapping system, and made suggestions
for the revision of the Kodiak map, such as including sewer and water lines,
lot dimensions and surveying data, etc. This could be accomplished by using
a 1" to 100 scale, or a 1 to 50, so that each section of the map would be
blown up. Fach sheet could somewhat overlap the others in area.
C. Discussion on dew Land to be Sold. Tyr. Best reported that he is making good
progress on the surveying work in the new subdivisions. The preliminary plats
of these areas were studied, and a discussion was held on possible zoning for
the new areas.
D. Trailers. It was agreed that a pando trailers should be permitted to be placed
on permanent foundations and classified as real property for tax purposes.
This also would have to be added to the Zoning Ordinance. .r . Best suggested
that two trailers be permitted on one lot, provided the State Sanitary Code
would allow it--in this case he meant standard size trailers not on permanent
foundations.

rla MEETING - September 28, 1966
E. Sewage Outfall. It was brought out that eventually no outfall into the ocean
will be permitted without treatment. The State will require this, as they
already have in Anchorage.
F. Complaints procedure. Mr. Breckberg suggested that anyone against whom
complaint is made should be present at the meeting at which the complaint is
discussed. It was agreed that the Zoning Ordinance should require both parties
to be present at a meeting before the complaint could be discussed. If the
person complained against did not wish to be present after due notification,
then the discussion could take place without him.
C. catIlm011yLagmlyLenr_15E4DILIEEIsaus. Mr. Welsh suggested that ways be
found to shorten the zoning procedures as much as possible so that the applicants
would not have to wait such a long period for the outcome of their requests.
Mr. Best agreed that his committee would make every attempt to shorten the
procedures as much as possible t7iout ignoring the State Statutes.
H. Breakwater. Mr. 7ansen reported that he had discussed the seawall project
with City Uaager Stockton, and that Mr. Stockton planned to re- activate
investigation of the project. It was mentioned that the seawall had been
brought up at the marine college hearing, and that if the college should be
accomplished here, the seawall would be ensured.
