with two (2) conditions of approval of a previously approved
conditional use permit that permitted a twenty-four (24) space
recreational vehicle park to locate in a C--Conservation Zoning
District on ADL 36049, commonly known as the VFW site. The
applicant requests the one year extension for the conditions of
approval that specified completion of Phase I within two (2) years
and Phase II within four (4) years. (VFW Post 7056/Kodiak Island

COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS MOVED TO GRANT the requested one year

(numbers 6 and 7) for Case 86-022, subject to compliance with the
remaining five (5) conditions and one (1) additional condition as
follows:
8. All outdoor storage and junk, as identified by the photographs
dated April 12, 1988, shall be removed from the property to an
authorized place of storage or disposal within sixty (60) days
from April 20, 1988.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
There were no further appearance requests.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
WALTER SAPP, VFW Post Commander, appeared before the Commission and
requested a longer period of time to comply with the new condition (8).
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners and Mr. Sapp regarding the
length of time required to comply with condition number 8. The
consensus was that ninety (90) days ought to be sufficient.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO RECONSIDER CASE 86-022. The motion was
seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO GRANT the requested one year extension
for complying with two (2) conditions of approval (numbers 6 and 7) for

conditions and one (1) additional condition as follows:
S. All outdoor storage and junk, as identified by the photographs

authorized place of storage or disposal by July 31, 1988.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
PHIL ANDERSON, quartermaster of the VFW, appeared before the Commission
and expressed a desire to keep the accessory buildings that serve as
bird houses on the property. Mr. Anderson noted that the VFW was
interested in keeping some of the other items that might be construed as
"junk," requesting some direction as to what items would be allowed to
remain and what must be disposed of as "junk."
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, Mr. Anderson, and
Community Development Department staff regarding the determination of
what is or is not junk.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS
stated, "...maybe it could just be cleared up, I
mean those
old pickups
cease to become junk when they are fixed up and
in running
order and I
would think the bird houses cease to become junk
when they are painted and the dead birds are taken out."
LINDA FREED stated "and if that happens in 120 days with a building
permit issued for the accessory buildings, zoning compliance issued for
the accessory buildings, I would suspect that wouldn't be a problem, or
whatever July 31st is. So that may be a way of dealing with it."
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS further stated, "the junk is recognizable by the
staff, and if it is not junk it doesn't have to be removed."

(Permitted Uses) of the Borough Code to permit a temporary
fireworks sales stand to locate in a R2--Two-Family Residential
Zoning District. Tract C-1, U.S. Survey 1682; 3472 Rezanof Drive
East. (Les Seaton/Mike Anderson)
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON requested to be excused due to a conflict of

this case and none were returned. Staff recommended approval of
this request, subject to 6 conditions of approval.

COMMISSIONER HENDEL MOVED TO GRANT a request for an exception from
Section 17.19.020 of the Borough Code to permit a temporary
fireworks sales stand to locate in a R2--Two-Family Residential
Zoning District on Tract C-1, U.S. Survey 1682, subject to the
conditions of approval outlined in the staff report dated March 31,
r 1.988, and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated
March 31, 1988, as "Findings of Fact" for this case. The motion
was seconded and CARRIED by majority roll call vote. Commissioner
Rennell voted "no."
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The sale of fireworks shall be discontinued at this location
by July 6, 1988.
2. The use and structure shall be removed from the lot by
Thursday, July 7, 1988.
3. Provide a copy of the required State of Alaska "Permit for the
Sale of Salable Fireworks."
4. Agree to place "No Smoking within 250 feet" and No Fireworks
to be Discharged within 250 feet" signs on the premises.
5. Agree to provide a trash receptacle on the premises for the
use of patrons.
6. The exception shall be valid only until July 7, 1988.
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. It appears that the proposed use will not endanger the
public's health, safety or general welfare. Fireworks
sales have previously occurred at this location and
departmental files do not indicate that these sales have
posed any danger to the public health, safety or welfare.
Additionally, the use is temporary in nature and the
KIBS226457
Planning & Zoning Commission 3 April 20, 1988 Minutes
applicant will obtain a permit to sell fireworks from the
Office of the State Fire Marshal. Lastly, the applicant
agrees to comply with the conditions attached to all
fireworks stands, as follows:
1.
The sale of fireworks shall be discontinued at this
location by July 6, 1988.
2.
The use and structure shall be removed from the lot
by Thursday, July 7, 1988.
3.
Provide a copy of the required State of Alaska
"Permit for the Sale of Salable Fireworks."
4.
Agree to place "No Smoking within 250 feet" and No
Fireworks to be Discharged within 250 feetifsigns on
the premises.
5.
Agree to provide a trash receptacle on the premises
for the use of patrons.
6.
The exception shall be valid only until July 7,
1988.
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 17.19, the
R2--Two-Family Residential Zoning District because the
proposed use will not be a permanent retail sales outlet
and also because the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
specifically exempted Article 78 of the 1982 Uniform Fire
Code when it adopted this Code on June 6, 1985. Article
78 forbids the sale of fireworks.
C. The proposed use does not appear to adversely impact
other properties in the area because the location of the
stand on the lot is approximately 400-feet away from the
nearest residence, at least 250-feet from the church on
Tract B-1 and because other surrounding properties are
undeveloped. A site inspection did not indicate that
conditions in the area have substantially changed from
last year. Further, adequate off-street parking is
available and previous fireworks sales at this location
have not generated any complaints from surrounding
property owners of which staff is aware.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON returned to the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
B) CASE 88-017. Request for a conditional use permit in accordance
with Section 17.17.030 (Conditional Uses) of the Borough Code to
permit a temporary fireworks sales stand to locate in a RR1--Rural
Residential One Zoning District on Lot 3, Block 1, Woodland Acres
Subdivision; 3694 Rezanof Drive East. (Denton/Nachtweih)
LINDA FREED indicated 31 public hearing notices were mailed for
this case and none were returned. Staff recommended approval of
this request, subject to 6 conditions of approval.
Regular Session Closed.

GUY DENTON appeared before the Commission to answer any questions
the Commission might have concerning this request.

COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS MOVED TO GRANT a request for a conditional
use permit in accordance with Section 17.17.030 of the Borough Code
to permit a temporary fireworks sales stand to locate in a
RR1--Rural Residential One Zoning District on Lot 3, Block 1,
Woodland Acres Subdivision, subject to the conditions of approval
outlined in the staff report dated March 31, 1988, and to adopt the
findings contained in the staff report dated March 31, 1988, as
"Findings of Fact" for this case. The motion was seconded and
KIBS226458
Planning & Zoning Commission 4 April 20, 1988 Minutes
CARRIED by majority roll call vote. Commissioner Rennell voted
"no."
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The sale of fireworks shall be discontinued at this location
by July 6, 1988.
j^ 2. The use and structure shall be removed from the lot by Monday,
July 7, 1988.
3. Provide a copy of the required State of Alaska "Permit for the
Sale of Salable Fireworks."
4. Agree to place "No Smoking within 250 feet" and No Fireworks
to be Discharged within 250 feet" signs on the premises.
5. Agree to provide a trash receptacle on the premises for the
use of patrons.
6. The exception shall be valid only until July 7, 1988.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the conditional use will preserve the value
character and integrity of the surrounding area.
The proposed use will preserve the value, spirit, character
and integrity of the surrounding area because the lots are
physically separated from other property by road
rights -of -way, distance and wooded areas. Two of the four
surrounding lots are vacant. Further, adequate off-street
parking is available and previous fireworks sales at this
location have not generated any complaints from surrounding
property owners that we are aware of.
2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of
this chapter vertainine to the conditional use in question_
The proposed fireworks stand will fulfill all other
requirements of the RR1--Rural Residential One Zoning District
such as setbacks and the applicant will obtain a permit to
sell fireworks from the office of the State Fire Marshall.
3. That granting the conditional use permit will not be
It appears that the proposed use will not endanger the
public's health, safety, convenience or comfort. Fireworks
sales have previously occurred in this area and departmental

Planning & Zoning Commission. 5 April 20, 1988 Minutes
4. That sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or
safeguarre being provided to meet the conditions li
subsectionsdsaA throueh C of this sectinn_
Because the location of the fireworks stand is adequately
separated from nearby property and two of the four surrounding
lots are vacant provision of additional buffers or other
safeguards are not necessary in this instance. The sale of
fireworks is also a temporary use with no lasting impacts that
would require additional safeguards.
C) CASE 88-018. Request for a variance from Section 17.18.050(C)
(Yards) of the Borough Code to permit an existing accessory
building that is located five (5) feet from the rear property line,
and will be remodeled into living space and connected to the
existing single-family residence, to project five (5) feet into the
required ten (10) foot rear yard setback in a R1--Single-Family
Residential Zoning District on a Portion of Lot 18, Block 2, Leite
Addition; 1515 Mission. Road. (Rasmus Anderson)
LINDA FREED indicated 60 public hearing notices were mailed for
this case and 1 notice, representing two property owners was
returned, opposing this request. Also, Donna Schmelzenback
delivered a letter to the Community Development Department on April
20, 1988, requesting that the letter be read into the record.
Staff recommended approval of this request.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
Seeing and hearing none.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
CHAIRMAN RENNELL read Ms. Schmelzenback's letter of opposition to
the request into the record.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, with input from
Community Development Department staff, regarding the history of
this property.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS noted that he had difficulty with staff's
finding regarding the "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." Staff found that the "exceptional
physical condition applicable to the intended use of development in
this case is the location of the existing accessory building, five
(5) feet from the rear property line. Any use of this existing
building for residential purposes would require a variance."
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS stated that he was concerned that variances
would become a tool for converting accessory buildings into homes.
COMMISSIONER KNUDSEN stated that she had difficulty with staff's
finding "that actions of the applicant did not cause special
conditions or financial hardship from which relief is being sought
by the variance." Staff found that "actions of the applicant have
not caused the conditions from which relief is being sought by a
variance. The variance will be decided prior to conversion of the
accessory building to living space." COMMISSIONER KNUDSEN noted
that actions of the applicant created the difficulty as the
applicant built the accessory building, and, therefore, caused the
reason for the requested variance.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS asked CHAIRMAN RENNELL if he could ask the
applicant a few questions. After receiving the Chair's approval,
a discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, with input from
Community Development Department staff, and Mr. Anderson regarding
this request.
KIBS22646� COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS MOVED TO GRANT a request for a variance from
Section 17.18.050(C) of the Borough Code to permit an existing two
Planning & Zoning Commission 6 April 20, 1988 Minutes
story accessory building that is located five (5) feet from the
rear property line to be converted into living space and to project
five (5) feet into the required ten (10) foot rear yard setback in
a R1--Single-Family Residential Zoning District on a Portion of Lot
18, Block 2, Leite Addition, subject to the following condition:
"The existing single-family residence will be removed and the
addition to the accessory building must comply with the rest of the
setback requirements prior to issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for the new single-family residence." The motion was
seconded and FAILED by a tie vote. Commissioners Hartt, Knudsen,
and Rennell voted "no."
Findings of Fact for this case were deferred to the end of the
agenda.
D) CASE 88-019. Request for the rezoning of Lot 6, Block 11; Lot 7,
Block 12; and Lots 54 through 59, Block 12, Aleutian Homes
Subdivision from R1--Single-Family Residential to B--Business in
accordance with Chapter 17.72 (Amendments and Changes) of the
Borough Code. Located at 915, 917, 1011, 1013, 1015, 1017, and
1111 Mill Bay Road and 111 Birch Street. (Peter Harris, Island
Realty, Inc., Corporation of St. Mary's Parish of the Archdiocese
of Anchorage, Karen Beaver, Jerome Selby)
LINDA FREED indicated 294 public hearing notices were mailed for
this case and 3 were returned, 2 stating "no objections" and 1
opposing this request. Staff recommended denial of this request.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
CRAIG JOHNSON, a real estate broker representing at least two
property owners, appeared before the Commission and expressed
support for this request. Mr. Johnson noted that Mill Bay Road's
long term trend was towards business development and that financing
could be obtained for residences within business districts. Mr.
Johnson read a letter from Vicki Case, Branch Manager of City
Mortgage Corp., that stated in part "our decision to close such a
loan would be of course based on ... the present and proposed
highest and best use of the property. If the area indicates a
trend toward transition to business use then we would probably
decline to place any type of a mortgage on the property. If
highest and best use is of residential and no trends are indicated
or present then we would be happy to accept the property as
collateral..."
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, and Mr. Johnson
regarding the rezoning proposal. It was noted that a better
rezoning proposal would include the telephone company and the
Mason's property along Mill Bay Road. Mr. Johnson stated that he
would prefer a definitive vote on this request at this meeting,
rather than to have the request tabled for another public hearing
at the next Planning and Zoning Commission regular meeting.
PHIL ANDERSON, 316 Maple, appeared before the Commission and
expressed opposition to this request. Mr. Anderson noted that this
was a "spot" zoning request and that public use lands existed right
across the street, that there are already problems with traffic in
the area and that granting this request would only increase these
problems. Mr. Anderson also stated that this request was "strip"
zoning and that Mill Bay Road had become a 200 foot wide business
district for several miles.
TOBY COOK, owner of Lot 58, Block 12, Aleutian Homes Subdivision,
appeared before the Commission and expressed support for this
request. Mr. Cook stated that this property is transitional to
business development and therefore not desirable as residential
property. Mr. Cook concurred that traffic was bad on Mill Bay Road
stating that initially the rezone request would have no impact on
the existing traffic problems, but that the rezone to business
would accelerate improvements and traffic patterns along Mill Bay
Road, suggesting that an overpass might be built to handle
KIBS226461
Planning & Zoning Commission 7 April 20, 1988 Minutes
pedestrian traffic from the schools across Mill Bay Road to Birch
Street. Mr. Cook read a letter into the record from Joyce Gregory,
FedAlaska Credit Union, supportive of the proposal; and noted that
he had been in communication with Sam Graber and that Mr. Graber
wanted all of the lots in his ownership in Block 12, Aleutian Homes
Subdivision, included in the rezoning request. Mr. Cook suggested
that the rezone area could be expanded to go from Lot 40, Block 12
to the old Harvester Building, which is adjacent to business zoned
property (Allman Addition).
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners and Mr. Cook,
regarding the new homes on Mill Bay Road. Mr. Cook stated that
they would make good professional office space and that the need to
expand the downtown business district is recognized and that this
area would be a good place to establish services related to
downtown. In response to a question by COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS, Mr.
Cook stated that he would prefer this rezone request be forwarded
to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly, but his second choice would
be to have the rezone request tabled and staff instructed to
investigate a larger rezoning request in this area, that he would
prefer the request tabled rather than denied.
BRYCE GORDON appeared before the Commission and stated that there
was a lot of traffic in this area, that one way to deal with the
problem of residential next to business was to rezone the whole of
Mill Bay Road to business and develop a comprehensive plan for the
area which would provide for a buffer zone and the rerouting of the
current traffic patterns in the area.
ROBERT GRAY, owner of Lot 42, Block 12, Aleutian Homes Subdivision,
appeared before the Commission and expressed support for this
request, but stated that he did not want his lot included in the
business zoning though he would consider a rezoning to R2.
I PHIL ANDERSON reappeared before the Commission and expressed
opposition to this request. Mr. Anderson noted that Mill Bay Road
was too narrow to provide adequate off-street parking for business
uses and that traffic accidents which occur now would only increase
if this rezoning request was allowed.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners regarding this rezone
request. The Commissioners concurred that this is a logical place
for business zoning in the future, but that a comprehensive
development plan needed to be presented that addressed how
off-street parking requirements would be met, how traffic pattern
alternatives would be effected (e.g., centralized parking areas),
and that the rezone area needed to be comprehensive and contiguous,
leaving no pockets of residential districts (R1) in the midst of
business districts.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO TABLE Case 88-019 for another public
hearing at the May regular meeting. The motion was seconded. A
voice vote was taken and subsequently a roll call vote. The motion
FAILED by a tie roll call vote. Commissioners Heinrichs, Knudsen,
and Rennell voted "no."
COMMISSIONER HENDEL MOVED TO RECOMMEND that the Kodiak Island
Borough Assembly approve the rezoning of Lot 6, Block 11; Lot 7,
Block 12; and Lots 54 through 59, Block 12, Aleutian Homes
Subdivision from R1--Single-Family Residential to B--Business in
accordance with Chapter 17.72 of the Borough Code. The motion was
seconded and FAILED by unanimous roll call vote. Commissioners
Anderson, Hartt, Heinrichs, Hendel, Knudsen, and Rennell voted
"no."
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS MOVED TO ADOPT the findings contained in the
staff report dated April 11, 1988 as "Findings of Fact" for this

business activities. The motion was seconded and CARRIED by
unanimous roll call vote.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners. The consensus was
that the applicants needed to present another proposal at a
Planning and Zoning Commission worksession so that the applicants
and the Commission could plan together for a rezoning of Mill Bay
Road properties to business that would address the concerns of the
community.
FINDINGS OF FACT
2.
as to the Need
for a Chanrze or
A rezone from R1--Single-Family Residential to B--Business is
not needed or justified because the B--Business Zoning
District permits development that:
A. does not conform to the comprehensive plan;
B. is not suitable for the lots in question given the lot
sizes, widths, and placement of existing structures;
C. will be incompatible with existing single-family
residences on adjoining properties;
D. will create 5 nonconforming land uses;
E. is not in keeping with recent development trends along
Mill Bay Road;
F. will exacerbate existing parking, access, and traffic
safety problems along Kodiak's business roadway and a
major intersection; and
G. The proposal leaves two properties in the R1 Zoning
District even though they are currently used for business
activities.
as to
a change or Amendment would have on
A rezone to B--Business is inconsistent with the objectives of
the comprehensive plan which identifies this area for Medium
Density Residential Development.
E) CASE 88-020. Request for an exception from Section 17.21.020
(Permitted Uses) of the Borough Code to permit a shelter for the
homeless to locate in a B--Business Zoning District on Lot 1, Block
15, Kodiak Townsite; 411 Cedar Street. (City of Kodiak)
LINDA FREED indicated 88 public hearing notices were mailed for
this case and 5 were returned, 1 in favor, 1 concerned about
parking, and 3 opposing this request. Staff recommended approval
of this request, subject to 4 conditions of approval.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
DONNA WHITMAN, a member of the Board of Directors for the homeless
shelter, appeared before the Commission and expressed support for
this request. Ms. Whitman urged conceptual approval of the
shelter, stating that the shelter needs to be close to downtown as
the users usually do not have vehicles, and that the shelter would
be well regulated, clean and safe for any person. Responding to a
question from COMMISSIONER ANDERSON, Ms. Whitman stated that this
site had been selected as the permanent site; that the Board is
looking for funding for a permanent structure to be located on this
site; but, in the interim, the Board is looking for temporary
shelter space while the permanent shelter is developed.

KIBS226463
9 April 20,_r5F8-Minutes
ALAN SKAW appeared before the Commission and expressed opposition
to this request. Mr. Skaw stated that the community needed to
provide a shelter for the homeless, but that this site was too
close to the teen center and library and would create a hazard for
the many children that utilize the center and library. Mr. Skaw
suggested locating the homeless shelter near the boat harbor.
TOBY COOK, Island Realty at 415 Cedar, appeared before the
Commission and expressed no opposition to the homeless shelter
being located at this site. Mr. Cook stated there was a problem
with Cedar Street being in an unfinished condition at present and
that the traffic increase would require road improvements.
BRIAN CONNORS, a member of the Board of Directors for the homeless
shelter, appeared before the Commission and expressed support for
this request. Mr. Connors stated that Kodiak needs a shelter for
the homeless and that the shelter site, as proposed, would be
ideally located near emergency medical services (the fire
department), that its proximity to the City's police station would
limit opportunities for criminal activities, and that the shelter
needed to be located in the downtown core area where the homeless
are. Mr. Connors also noted that the public's image of a homeless
person/family does not relate to the statistics concerning homeless
people; most homeless in the nation are people like you and me, who
have experienced financial crises and are left without the
resources to provide for food, shelter, and clothing.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS asked how the shelter's board would address
the real issues that face a residential community, with vested
interests in their community, when a concentration of persons with
no vested interest in the community is located in their
neighborhood.
BRIAN CONNORS responded that the shelter would operate with a firm
set of rules and regulations that must be adhered to. These rules
and regulations would include (1) no drugs on the premises, (2) no
alcohol on the premises, and (3) no inebriated persons allowed.
GARY URBAN, on his own behalf, appeared before the Commission and
expressed opposition to this request. Mr. Urban suggested that the
homeless shelter's rules and regulations be presented prior to
voting on this request.
DONNA RUSCH, resident manger of the Community Baptist Church's
homeless shelter, appeared before the Commission and expressed
support for this request. Ms. Rusch stated that the Church's
shelter housed 11 persons last week, and that the Church runs a
daycare center in close proximity to the homeless shelter and that
no problems have been experienced as a result of this exposure.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS stated that the Commission's decision was a
land use decision and that the Commission needed to determine if
this activity was appropriate to this zoning district.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS inquired of Community Development Department
staff of the status of Lot 2, Block 7, New Kodiak. LINDA FREED
responded that the zoning was identical for the two lots.
ALAN SKAW reappeared before the Commission and expressed opposition
to this request stating that he was concerned about kids being
exposed to this element of society.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened. KIBS226464
COMMISSIONER HENDEL stated that he lived across the street from the
Community Baptist Church, that he believed there was a public
misconception regarding people that are homeless and in need of
shelter, and that he had experienced no adverse affects from his
close proximity to the Church's homeless shelter.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS stated that the real issues behind the
emotional issues need to be addressed, such as what it means to
Planning & Zoning Commission 10 April 20, 1988 Minutes
have an area set aside as a residential refuge and then later
introducing non -vested interests into this same residential refuge.
COMMISSIONER KNUDSEN stated that the teen center and library were
already used by the homeless in this community, that last year the
teen center was used as a showering place, and that the library
already accommodates the homeless with no pronounced problems.
COMMISSIONER KNUDSEN stated that she thought the proposed site was
a good land use.
CHAIRMAN RENNELL noted that there were no walls or fences around
residential areas in this community as yet.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, with input from
Community Development Department staff, regarding the wording and
intent of conditions of approval numbers 3 and 4.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO GRANT conceptual approval for an
exception to Section 17.21.020 of the Borough Code to permit a
shelter for the homeless to locate in a B--Business Zoning District
on Lot 1, Block 15, Kodiak Townsite, subject to the conditions of
approval outlined in the staff report dated April 12, 1988, and to
adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated April 12,
1988, as "Findings of Fact" for this case. The motion was seconded
and CARRIED by majority roll call vote. Commissioners Hartt and
Heinrichs voted "no."
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
]. The specific location of the shelter on the site will be
established through the zoning compliance and building permit
processes.
r 2. The vacation and replat of Lots 120 through 129, Block 10,
I Erskine Subdivision, U.S. Survey 562; Lots 1 through 4,
Thorsheim Subdivision, U.S. Survey 2537B; and Block 15, Kodiak
Townsite, U.S. Survey 2537B (Case S-84-019) shall be filed
prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
shelter.
3. The overall parking plan for this facility and adjoining City
of Kodiak facilities (jail, fire station, police station,
library, and teen center) is revised to eliminate all spaces
within the Cedar Street right-of-way and redesigned so that
all spaces have adequate maneuvering room, adequate aisle
widths, correct space dimensions, and do not interfere with
power pole down guys. The existing fencing shall also be
removed.
4. All required off-street parking shall be provided prior to
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the shelter unless
a parking variance is first granted by the Kodiak Island
Borough Planning and Zoning Commission.
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. It appears that the proposed use will enhance rather than
endanger the public's health, safety, or general welfare.
A shelter for the homeless will provide a direct benefit
to the health, safety, and welfare of street people and
provide indirect benefits to the community at large by
providing a single safe and clean environment for
shelter.
KIBS226465
Planning & Zoning Commission 11 April 20, 1988 Minutes
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 17.21, the B--Business
Zoning District. First of all, the use characteristics
of the proposed shelter are similar to a hotel and/or
motel, which are permitted business uses. Therefore-, the
proposed use may be permitted as a similar use pursuant
to Section 17.03.090 because, as described in (A) above,
the use should not be detrimental to the welfare of the
community. Additionally, a number of permitted uses in
the B--Business Zoning District are much more intensive
activities than the shelter as measured in terms of
traffic generation, noise, parking, hours of operation,
etc.
C. The proposed use should not adversely impact other
properties or uses, in the neighborhood. A number of
public facilities are located nearby and the shelter
should have minimal impacts in comparison. Locating the
shelter at this location provides the additional benefit
of proximity to the police station. The proposed
location will consolidate rather than disperse public
facilities throughout the community and is within walking
distance of downtown. Traffic impacts will be very
small, probably staff only.
CHAIRMAN RENNELL recessed the meeting for ten minutes. CHAIRMAN RENNELL
called the meeting back to order at 9:47 p.m.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners, with input from
Community Development Department staff, regarding the Commission's
previous motion. The consensus was that the Commission had omitted
the previously agreed upon changes to the wording of conditions of
r approval numbers 3 and 4 and that the Commission wanted to correct
that omission at the present time.

approval for the subdivision of this property be in affect after
the Commission takes action on this particular request for
subdivision of this parcel of property.
COMMISSIONER HEINRICHS asked Community Development Department staff
if there was not some other way to approach changes in the
conditions of approval of subdivision cases. Community Development
Department staff noted that this was an Engineering Department case
and that this was how the Engineering Department staff dealt with
the changes to conditions of approval in this particular case.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
TOBY COOK, representing Island Properties, Inc., appeared before
the Commission and expressed support for this request. Mr. Cook
described in detail the difficulties he had encountered in
attempting to comply with the conditions of approval in Case
S-87-031 and suggested that the conditions of approval outlined for
Case S-88-004 would leave this property in a more usable state.
Mr. Cook also noted that there were presently no easements of
record on this property.
A discussion ensued amongst the Commissioners and Mr. Cook
regarding the conditions of approval and the width requirement for
practical easements for utilities considering the encroachment of
the garage belonging to Lot 9, Block 33, East Addition onto this
particular property.
BILL BAKKUS, owner of Lot 9, Block 33, East Addition, appeared
before the Commission and stated that a 10 foot easement would not
be adequate considering the garage's placement.

character and integrity of the surrounding area.
It appears that the proposed use meets all the standards for a
single-family residence within a commercial structure,
comprising less than fifty (50) percent of an existing
commercial building. This secondary residential use of the
structure and premises should not detract from the commercial
use of this site and the surrounding area. The value, spirit,
character, and integrity of the surrounding area will be
maintained.

this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in euestion.
The proposed use will fulfill all other requirements of
Chapter 17.21 (B--Business Zoning District) Adequate
off-street parking is available on the site.
3. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful
Ir to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort.

safety, convenience, or comfort if all building and fire codes
are adhered to. Compliance is addressed through the zoning
compliance, building permit, and inspection processes.
4. That sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or other
safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in
