contained in the staff report as "Findings of Fact" for this
case. The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll call
vote.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS MOVED TO GRANT a variance from Section
17.54.010 of the Borough Code to permit a 4 foot fence to
encroach onto the Simeonoff Street right-of-way across Lot 2,
Block 48, East Addition, subject to the conditions of approval

1. The fence is constructed at the applicant's sole expense.
2. The applicant assumes any liability associated with said
fence on city -owned property.

be removed from the city -owned property, the applicant or

same land
In this case the unique physical condition is the existing
nonconforming structure located on the lot. Any expansion
of this structure, using the existing building line, will
require a variance.
2. Strict application of the zoning ordinances would result in
practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships.
The strict application of the zoning ordinance would not
allow the addition as proposed. This is a practical
difficulty and unnecessary hardship when the encroachment is
only .3 feet (a minuscule amount) and the addition will
comply with all other setback requirements.
3. The granting of the variance will not result in material
damages or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor
be detrimental to the public's health, safety and welfare.
Granting of this variance will not result in material damage
or prejudice to other properties in the area. A substantial
number of structures in East Addition are nonconforming and
variances have been granted in the past by the Commission
for additions to such structures. Also, the amount of
encroachment is so small as to make no significant
difference from the required setback.
4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan since this area is an
established residential neighborhood, even though the plan
identifies this area for Parks and Open Space.
5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special
conditions or financial hardship from which relief is being
sought by the variance.
In this case actions of the applicant has not caused the
conditions from which relief is being sought by a variance.
The existing structure was built in 1965 and purchased by
the applicant in 1985.
6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a
prohibited land use in the district involved.
Single-family residential land uses are permitted in this
district.

use
or conditions
The exceptional condition applicable to the intended use of
the property is largely a perceptual one. Typically, the
average property owner assumes that all the land out to the
sidewalk is their "yard," and that they should be able to
erect a fence around that yard. In this case, it is notable
that the applicant is seeking permission for the fence to
locate on the public property prior to erecting the fence.
In addition, if the fence was built along the property
lines, a small strip of City property would remain outside
the fence. It is possible that this property would not then
be maintained by the property owner.

P & Z MINUTES 3 SEPTEMBER 17, 1986
2. Strict appl
or unne
in
Strict application of the zoning ordinance would only allow
the fence to be placed on the property lines. This is an
unnecessary hardship when many other fences in the community
have encroached on the public property without first
receiving a variance.
3. The granting of the variance will not result in material
damages or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor
be detrimental to the public's health, safety and welfare.
Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public's health, safety or welfare. The fence will not
interfere with safe traffic flow along Simeonoff Street.
Also, the conditions outlined below ensure that any future
removal of the fence will not impose a cost to the public.
The erection of the fence out to the sidewalk will hopefully
ensure that the small strip of City property is maintained
by the property owner to the benefit of the City.
4. The erantine of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. This is an
established residential neighborhood.
5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special
conditions or financial hardship from which relief is bein
sought by the variance.
In this instance, actions of the applicant have not caused
r the conditions from which relief is being sought by a
variance. The variance request will be decided prior to
construction of the fence.
6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a
prohibited land use in the district involved.
Fences are permitted in all land use districts.
B) CASE 86-065. Request for an exception pursuant to Section
17.03.060 (Building Permits) of the Borough Code to permit

COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO GRANT a request for an exception
from Section 17.33.020 of the Borough Code to permit the KMXT
radio station offices and studios to locate within the PL--Public
Use Lands Zoning District. Lot 6B-1, U.S. Survey 2538B, located
off Egan Avenue, subject to the condition outlined in the staff
report and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report as
"Findings of Fact" for this case. The motion was seconded and
CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL
1. Driveway access from Egan Avenue is developed or an easement
is obtained for the use of the existing driveway that
accesses the site.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the use as proposed in the application, or under
appropriate conditions or restrictions, will not (A)
endanger the public's health, safety or general welfare, (B)
be inconsistent with the general purposes and intent of this
title and (C) adversely impact other properties or uses in
the neighborhood.
A. The proposed use should not endanger the public's
health, safety or welfare. The proposed use has been
an active part of the Borough Building complex and has
posed no safety hazard to the public in that time. In
addition, the station's transmitter would not be moved
from it's current location in the area of the Borough
Building, only the broadcast studios and offices would
be relocated if the request is approved.
B. The proposed use will be consistent with the general
purposes and intent of Title 17 and with the specific
description and intent of Chapter 17.33, the PL--Public
Use Lands Zoning District: "The public lands district
is established as a land use district for publicly
owned land containing recreational, educational and
institutional uses." The radio station's offices and
studios are generally consistent with this description.
C. The proposed use should not adversely impact other
properties or uses in the neighborhood. As noted
earlier the uses have coexisted with other
public/institutional uses in the area for ten years

without any apparent problem. The barn is a
significant distance from any residences in the area
and the use should not create any additional traffic in
the area. At this time there is no adequate legal
driveway access to the barn.
CHAIRMAN RENNELL returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
D) CASE 86-067. Request for a variance from Section 17.36.O6O(A)
0` (Nonconforming Uses of Land) to permit the expansion of a
nonconforming land use (a single-family residence in a business
zoning district) in order to construct a 7 foot by 12 foot
addition onto the rear of the existing single-family residence.
Lots 17A and 17B, Block 1, Kodiak Townsite; 503 Sargent Drive.

COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO GRANT a variance from Section
17.36.O6O(A) of the Borough Code to permit a nonconforming land
use to be enlarged and extended to occupy a greater area of land
in order to construct a 7 foot by 12 foot addition onto an
existing single-family residence located in a B--Business Zoning
District on Lots 17A and 17B, Block 1, Kodiak Townsite and to
"l— adopt the findings contained in the staff report as "Findings of
Fact" for this case. The motion was seconded and CARRIED by
unanimous roll call vote.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property or intended use of development, which
generally do not apply to other properties in the same land
use district.
In this case, the unique condition applicable to the
intended use of the property is the existing residential
land use. Although zoned B--Business, there has been a
single-family residence on the property for many years.
Other nearby lots also have residential land uses and it is
likely that this area will remain residential in nature for
the foreseeable future.
2. Strict application of the zoning ordinances would result in
practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships.
Strict application of the zoning ordinance would not allow
any additions to the existing residential structure. This
r is an unnecessary hardship when the existing land use is
residential and likely to remain such.

Granting of the variance will not result in material damage
or prejudice to other properties in the area. Adjacent
residences are nonconforming land uses and granting a
variance for additions to a residential structure will
continue the existing land use pattern of the area.
KIBS226069
P & Z MINUTES 6 SEPTEMBER 17, 1986
4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
Plan.
Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the comprehensive plan. The plan which
identifies a portion of this lot for Public and Open Space
as well as Industrial use is out of date for this area of
the City of Kodiak.
5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special
conditions or financial hardship from which relief is being
sought by the variance.
In this case, actions of the applicant have not caused the
conditions from which relief is being sought by a variance.
The existing house was built in 1953; the property was zoned
business in 1976. Also, the variance request will be
decided prior to construction of the addition.
6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a
prohibited land use in the district involved.
Single-family residences, provided they occupy less than 50
percent of a commercial structure, are conditionally
permitted in the B--Business Zoning District.
E) CASE 86-068. Request for a variance from Section 17.54.010(C)

45, East Addition as shown on the submitted "as -built" survey,
subject to the conditions of approval outlined in the staff
report, and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report
as "Findings of Fact" for this case. The motion was seconded and
CARRIED by majority roll call vote. Commissioner Smedley voted
"no."
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The fence is constructed at the applicant's sole expense.
2. The applicant assumes any liability associated with said
fence on State and City -owned property.
3. If at a future date the State or City determines that the
fence must be removed from the State or City -owned property,
the applicant or any subsequent owner of Lots 15 and 16,

average property owner assumes that all the land out to the

P_ 3. The granting of the variance will not result in material

Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public's health, safety or welfare provided it is determined
that visibility for traffic along Rezanof is not obscured.
Also, the conditions outlined below ensure that any future
removal of the fence will not impose a cost to the public.
The erection of the fence out to the sidewalk will hopefully
ensure that the small strip of City property is maintained
by the property owner to the benefit of the City.

Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the

5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special

sought by the variance.
In this instance, actions of the applicant have caused the
0.- conditions from which relief is being sought by a variance.
This is due to the fact that the fence was constructed prior
to the granting of the variance; staff believes that the
variance would have been requested prior to the construction
if the applicant had understood that it was necessary.
6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a
prohibited land use in the district involved.
Fences are permitted in all land use districts.

P & Z MINUTES 13 SEPTEMBER 17, 1986
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Conditional Use Permit granted by the Planning and
Zoning Commission was intended to permit the addition of 2
(two) tanks on the property. With the eleven (11) existing
tanks, in the Petro Marine complex this would make a total
of 13 tanks.
2. The 11 existing tanks
have
a maximum storage capacity of
♦--
1,874,600
gallons. The
specifications
of each of the
existing tanks are as
follows:

The specifications of the 2 additional tanks proposed are as

Proposed

Tank Capacity Height Diameter Contained
1 80,000 gallons 28' 21.5' Supreme Unleaded
2 18,000 gallons 30' 10, EP. Hydraulic Oil
Total 98,000 Gallons
The percentage increase in the total amount of tank storage
is 57 (98,000/1,874,600 = .05).
The percentage increase in the total amount of gasoline
storage is 12% (80,000/669,844 = .12). This assumes that AV
GAS and Jet Fuel are gasoline. Diesel and Motor Oil is not
included in this figure.
The Board of Adjustment letter refers to the storage of
"Hazardous Gasoline". Staff is unable to determine the
amount of increased storage of hazardous gasoline. This is
because gasoline in not defined as a hazardous material
under the 1982 Uniform Fire Code. Gasoline, diesel, AV gas,
jet fuel, 30 Wt. motor oil, and hydraulic oil are all
classified as flammable and combustible liquids under the
Uniform Fire Code.
As noted previously the percentage increase in the total
amount of flammable and combustible liquid storage is 57
(98,000/1,874,600 = .05). It should also be noted that if
the applicant desired, all of the existing tanks on the
property could be filled with gasoline or any combination of
liquids.
Jet Fuel A, diesel, 30 Wt. motor oil, and hydraulic oil are
classified as a combustible liquid because the flash point
is over 100 degrees F. AV gas, regular gas, and unleaded
gas are Class 1-B flammable liquids (flash point below 100
degrees F). The percentage increase in the total storage of
Class 1-B flammable liquids is 17% (80,000/481,075 = .17).

XII. COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT MOVED TO ADOPT the following findings of fact for
Case 86-069: request for the rezoning of Lots 1A through 2A and Lots 4
through 9, Block 5, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision from RR1--Rural
Residential One to R2--Two-Family Residential in accordance with
Chapter 17.72 (Amendments and Changes) of the Borough Code.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment_
The Commission finds that a zoning change from RR1 to a more
intense zoning district is needed because of the pressure for
development in the area as a result of the installation of water
and sewer. A rezone from RR1 to R2 is justified because some
nonconforming land uses will become conforming land uses in the
R2 Zoning District and development under the R2 Zoning District
will create needed revenue for the operations and maintenance of
the newly installed sewer and water system.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the
Plan.
The rezoning is consistent with the objectives of the
comprehensive plan for the area which is designated for Medium
Density Residential development.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous voice vote.
