IV MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING:
A) Regular Meeting of March 21, 1984. The following correction was
made under Item IX (A):
GENERAL CONSENSUS of the Commission was that the Commission had no
problem with the request from Timberline, Inc. to lease the land on
Marmot Island.
V APPEARANCE REQUESTS AND AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
A) Consideration of a petition to rezone Lots 7 through 18, Block 2,
Island Lake Subdivision, USS 3219 from Business to Single -Family
Residential District (R1).
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL asked for any audience comments.
SHANNON BACH (Lot 2, Block 3, Island Lake Subdivision), representing
John Lund, Ron Frels, and all residents who signed the petition, read
a statement of support into the record.
MEL STEVENS, speaking on behalf of Scott Arndt, gave opposing testimony
and reminded the Commission of the legal opinion received from the
Borough's attorney, which stated that the petition involved in the
request was not a proper petition that could be used to initiate a
rezoning.
SCOTT ARNDT was present and voiced his opposition to the zoning change
request. Mr. Arndt gave a brief history of previous action taken on
the property. For the past two years Mr. Arndt stated he has had plans
for apartment buildings on the property and had already started the
planning process. Mr. Arndt had obtained appraiser's opinions that
the highest and best use of the property is for multi -family
residential living or business. Mr. Arndt contested the petition to
rezone his property.
KIBS225499
LORNA ARNDT, co-owner of 11 lots in the surrounding area, spoke in
opposition to the request.
ART BORS was present and was not opposed to the present Business zoning
of Mr. Arndt's property.
OKEY CHANDLER was present and questioned the lack of park area for
children and suggested that until parks are provided, he would like
to see the property rezoned to Residential.
r COMMISSIONER PATTERSON questioned Mr. Arndt on the density of the pro-
posed apartment complex, and Mr. Arndt answered that four of the lots
would have two eight-plexes, and maybe three four-plexes (two bedroom
units) over the next few years. Mr. Arndt had no definite plans for the
entire area.
COMMISSIONER HILL MOVED TO CONSIDER THE PETITION and the motion was
seconded. The question was called and the motion FAILED by unanimous
roll call vote.
THE COMMISSION STATED REASONS FOR NON -CONSIDERATION:
1. there was no present need to rezone;
2. it would be more appropriate if some of the land was owned
by people who originated the petition;
3. the land could be considered for rezoning in the near future,
along with public land in the Lakeside Subdivision;
4. with the extension of the water and sewer utilities, some rural
residential land in the area will probably be rezoned;
5. although there was public opposition at the public hearing
on the original rezone, the Borough Assembly did have the
opportunity to review the case and decided to go along and
rezone the property from Residential to Business; and
6. as the Assembly did make the decision to rezone the area,
r the Commission felt they should not consider the petition at
this time.
B) Proposed Buildings on Lot 24, Block 1, Russian Creek Alaska
Subdivision - Request to be referred to as "Mini -Storage Units"
(David M. Woodruff).
MS. FREED reported that Mr. Woodruff wished to construct the
shop storage building this year, and that he would be on the
May agenda with a request to allow a small motor home on the
property for six months for the project supervisor to live in.
Ms. Freed reported that it was appropriate for the Commission
to find whether this building meets the definition of a "mini -
warehouse," as mini -warehouses are allowed in this district and
warehouses are not.
COMMISSIONER HILL MOVED TO FIND IN FAVOR OF MR. WOODRUFF'S
QUESTION as to whether this is mini -storage or not. The
Commission discussed the appearance request to determine the
intent and proposed usage.
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED and a roll call vote was called. The
motion FAILED with Commissioners Hill and Patterson voting "yes."
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL instructed the Community Development Depart-
ment to inform Mr. Woodruff of the Commission's action so that
Mr. Woodruff would have an opportunity to be scheduled for the
May agenda.
C) Request for Finding Under Section 17.57.030 (Off -Street Parking--
Location)(Senior Citizens of Kodiak).
MS. FREED reported an additional handout of a map showing the
portion of the property being leased for parking; she reported
two additional on -site parking spaces that do not show on the map;
plus additional spaces located across the street, for which
approval is being requested with no opposition from the State.
REGULAR MEETING - 2 KIBS225490 April 18, 1984
MR. DENNIS MURRAY was present and addressed the letter from
Ms. Corinne Wilson which explained the request for the Commission
to have findings of fact concerning off-street parking places
for the new Senior Citizen's Center.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION FIND IT IS
IMPRACTICAL to locate the required parking on the same lot
as the proposed Senior Citizen's Center and that the plan to
provide parking for the center is an acceptable method of
r meeting the parking requirements under the code. The motion
was seconded and the Chairman called for a roll call vote.
The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL asked for any further audience comments. As there
were no further comments, the Chairman moved on to Public Hearings.
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A) CASE 84-019. Request to rezone Lot 1, Block 6, U.S. Survey 3066 A&B
and U.S. Survey 2739 (Cove Trailer Court) from Rural Residential
District (RR1) to Business District (B) in accordance with
Section 17.72 (Amendments and Changes) (William A. Bardot).
MS. FREED reported five public hearing notices had been returned
to the department in opposition to the request.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL closed the Regular Meeting and opened the
Public Hearing.
MR. JIM NAGAN, resident of Cove Trailer Court for four years,
appeared before the Commission to voice his objection to the
request.
I—'
MR. JOHN WITTIVEEN, previously a resident of Cove Trailer Court,
stated that this was a human issue concerning the displacement of
the residents and went on record in opposition to the request to
rezone.
MR. ED JACK, neither for nor against the rezoning, stated that the
property is listed as a flood plain and if there is any plan to
develop multiple housing, the Commission should be advised that
such a listing precludes housing, except under Grandfather rights.
MR. TOM HEALEY, indirectly affected by a previous rezoning request,
spoke of the human issue involved and was opposed the the request.
MR. DAVID COOK, representing the Kodiak Baptist Mission (leases
property adjacent to the parcel up for rezoning), preferred main-
taining the property in a residential setting rather than Business.
The Mission maintains a residential child care facility on the
adjacent property.
MS. KIMBERLY CLARK, resident of the Cove Trailer Court, spoke in
opposition to the rezoning due to financial hardship.
MR. RICK BRUSH added his voice of opposition to the rezoning,
due to the human hardship involved to the current residents.
MR. OKEY CHANDLER spoke in opposition to the rezoning, speaking
of the hardship involved to the current residents.
MS. SHARLENE SULLIVAN spoke in opposition to the rezoning.
As there were no further audience comments, the Chairman closed
the Public Hearing and reconvened the Regular Meeting.
MS. FREED pointed out to the audience that half of the lot is
already zoned Business, that staff is concerned with the split
zoning, and that it would be more consistent to have the entire
lot one zoning. Staff's recommendation was for R3 zoning.
REGULAR MEETING - 3 KIBS225491 April 18, 1984
Discussion followed on the possibility of rezoning the property
to any other type of zoning, such as an R3 District. The
Commission expressed sympathy for the residents of the area.
COMMISSIONER HILL MOVED ON TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF CASE 84-019,
a request to rezone Lot 1, Block 6, U.S. Survey 3066 A&B and
U.S. Survey 2739 from Rural Residential District (RR1) to
Business (B) in accordance with Section 17.72, submitted by
Mr. William Bardot. The motion was seconded and the Chairman
r, called for a roll call vote. The motion FAILED by unanimous
roll call vote.
ACTING CHAIRMAN stated for a matter of record that Mr. Bardot
had the right to appeal to the Borough Assembly with ten (10)
days.
THE COMMISSION VOICED AS FINDINGS OF FACT AND REASONS FOR DENIAL:
1. that the road leading to the property is substandard for
business traffic;
2, that there is sufficient vacant and unimproved business property
in the area;
3. that the area is inappropriate for business use;
4. that the Commission should strictly address the request to
rezone to Business and not initiate any other type of zoning;
and;
5. that the Commission held sympathy for the residents of the area.
B) CASE 84-020. Request to purchase 15 acres of currently leased
Borough real property in accordance with Chapter 18.30 (Sale of
Borough Land), which is a portion of AIL 44355 and is located on
Monashka Bay Drive (Timberline, Inc.).
MS. FREED reported a letter from Mr. Dan Ogg, which Mr. Ogg had
requested be read into the record.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL closed the Regular Meeting and opened the
Public Hearing and read the 13-page letter from Mr. Ogg (a copy of
this letter may be obtained from the Community Development Depart-
ment, in reference to this case).
MEL STEVENS, representing Timberline, Inc., was present and spoke
in favor of the Commission granting the request. Mr. Stevens
commented on the history of Timberline, Inc.'s lease with the
Borough, the previous attempt by Timberline, Inc. to purchase the
property, and he disputed many points of Mr. Ogg's letter.
ED JACK, former Borough Assemblyman, reviewed the intent of Timberline,
Inc. at the time of the original lease with the Borough, stating that
the intent was to get a temporary site for the sawmill. Mr. Jack
spoke favorably of Mr. Ogg's letter, stating that the letter was
accurate. Mr. Jack did not feel that the land was surplus to the
Borough's needs, suggested subdividing the land in the future, and
generally opposed the request.
BILL SWEARINGIN, resident on Marmot Drive, objected to the noise of
the sawmill, proposed conservation of the area, and was opposed to
disposal of the land.
r
ERIC BLANKENBERG, resident of the Monashka Bay area, opposed the
sale of the land to Timberline, Inc., not objecting to the sawmill,
but felt an effort was being made for better planning of the area by
the Monashka Bay Planning Group. Mr. Blankenberg felt that within
six months to one year the comprehensive plan for the area could
be finished.
CATHY CORDRY, resident of Marmot Drive, spoke in opposition to the
sale of land to Timberline, Inc., and reminded the Commission that
Timberline, Inc. had requested the land for a temporary site.
KIBS225492
REGULAR MEETING - 4 - April 18, 1984
NANCY MISSAL, resident of Marmot Drive, spoke in opposition to the
sale of land to Timberline, Inc., and urged the Commission to con-
sider the planning group's comprehensive planning effort.
DEBORAH BURGY, resident of Marmot Drive and representing Robert
Burgy, spoke in opposition to the sale of land to Timberline, Inc.
Mrs. Burgy felt that Timberline, Inc. had acted in complete dis-
respect for the neighbors in the area by cutting down trees on
private property. Mrs. Burgy suggested that Timberline, Inc.
would escalate their investment by enlarging their industrial
use of the land.
OKEY CHANDLER, non-resident of the area, spoke favorably of
Timberline, Inc., reminding the Commission of the production of
lumber as a "need" to the community, the hardship in cost in moving
the sawmill, and recommended that the Borough renew the lease for
another five years (or until Timberline, Inc. "sawed -up all the
trees out there").
LEN GROTHE stated that the original application for lease was for
a 55-year lease located in the city dump, but the Borough felt a
sawmill and a dump were not compatible and outlined the present
sawmill site, granting Timberline, Inc. a 5-year lease.
Mr. Grothe also presented the financial hardship created if the
sawmill had to be moved, reminded the Commission that a lease
modification had been made to enable the sawmill site to be located
250' from the nearest residential lot, and spoke in favor of granting
the sale of land to Timberline, Inc.
COMMISSIONER MARLIN KNIGHT questioned Mr. Grothe as to why the
previous Assembly had not entered a "renewable lease" clause into
the lease, and Mr. Grothe answered that there had always been
considerable public opposition to the sawmill.
r SCOTT ARNDT, an Assemblyman at the time of the renewal of the
lease, stated that previously a sawmill was considered an agri-
cultural use and was allowed in a Conservation District under the
code. Mr. Arndt could not foresee proposed residential use of the
area, but was in favor of continued Industrial use.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL closed the Public Hearing and reconvened
the Regular Meeting.
COMMISSIONER HILL MOVED ON CASE 84-020, a request to purchase 15
acres of presently leased Borough real property in accordance
Chapter 18.30, a portion of ADL 44355, and located on Monashka
Bay Drive, TO FIND THE PROPERTY IS SURPLUS to the Borough's needs
and, therefore, to recommend to the Borough Assembly that it be put
up for sale. The motion was seconded and FAILED by roll call vote,
with Commissioners Hill and Patterson voting "yes."
FINDINGS OF FACT AND REASONS FOR DENIAL:
1. the area is not considered surplus to the Borough's needs;
2. sufficient time remains before the lease expires in 1986
to consider sale of this property;
3. by 1986 the perspective on development pressure will be
clearer and a master plan for the area will be completed;
4. other Industrial land will be available on the rural road
system; and
5. public testimony offered thus far has been in opposition
to the sale of land to Timberline, Inc.

MS. FREED reported receiving more public hearing notices in
opposition to the request. As there was no further discussion,
the Chairman closed the Regular Meeting and opened the Public
Hearing.
GAIL PHILLIPS and KNOX CHRISTIE spoke in favor of the Commission
granting the request because they felt the sign to be discrete.

the Regular Meeting.

RENNELL closed the Regular Meeting and opened the Public Hearing.
DICK RAY, attorney for the applicant, was present to answer questions
and gave supporting testimony for granting the request. Mr. Ray
reviewed ordinances from other communities that covered parking

Mr. Ray urged the Commission to find that there was a shortage of
one (1) parking space, for which the variance was sought.
ERNIE MILLS, applicant, was present to answer questions for the
Commission. Mr. Mills was agreeable to changing the plans for
the upper parking lot, stating it was never his intention to have
cars back out onto Rezanof Drive. He asked that consideration be
given to the fact that 90% of the customers would be walk-ins.
HAP WEIBERG, 310 S. Rezanof, not opposed to the laundromat, but con-
cerned about the spill -off parking to other businesses in the area.

situation in the downtown area. Mr. Brechan suggested the City

to the request. ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL closed the Regular

radius notice area.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL closed the Regular Meeting and opened
the Public Hearing.
HAP WEIBERG (Lot 14, Dark Lake) was generally in favor of the pro-
posed subdivision plan and was in favor of the roads going into
the area.
DONENE TWETEN (Lot 1, Block 1, Elderberry Heights) wanted larger
lots around Beaver Lake. The current square footage of Ms. Tweten's
lot is 17,222 square feet, and she thought the lots should be
comparable in size.
MAUREEN BUTLER (Lot 10, Block 2, Elderberry Heights First Addn.)
was concerned about flooding on the road system and felt a need
for a better road plan for the area. Ms. Butler did not want any
lots developed around Beaver Lake and wanted the chance to form a
group of people to develop a comprehensive plan for the area.
SCOTT ARNDT, property owner, had several problems with the pro-
posed subdivision and submitted a map depicting his ideas to the
r Commission. Mr. Arndt was generally opposed to the proposed
subdivision.

Scott Arndt's comments and was generally opposed to the proposed
subdivision plan. Mr. Tweten voiced objection to the lack of
public notification in the form of public hearing notices.
DENNIS MURRAY stated that it was the Assembly's desire to make
Industrial property available to the public. Mr. Murray felt it
important to move ahead, now that grant monies are available to
construct the road. Mr. Murray discouraged the Commission from
denying preliminary approval of the proposed subdivision.
REGULAR MEETING - 13 KIBS225501 April 18, 1984
Mr. Murray suggested that the Commission eliminate the lot lines in
the proposed residential areas to allow the public more time to
testify as to their desires for the area. Mr. Murray recommended
to the Commission to designate the Industrial land.
DALE SOUGHERS was concerned with the traffic situation and the
financial hardship imposed when city residents are required to
widen streets, as the proposed plan shows the streets to be too
narrow.
r DAVE RICKARD (Shahafka Acres), felt that even though it might have
taken 1,000 notices, everybody should have been notified. We do
need the roads to have access for the Industrial area. Mr. Rickard
voiced concern regarding sufficient park areas and felt the platted
lots to be too small.
LORNA ARNDT spoke in opposition to the proposed plan, stating that
U.S. Survey 3465 should be left just the way it is. Mrs. Arndt
suggested that the Commission only address the Industrial areas
of the plan and leave the Residential areas alone.
PHIL SHEALY, Borough Manager (representing Jerome Selby, Borough
Mayor) reviewed the Borough Mayor's memorandum of April 11, 1984.
Mr. Shealy stated that it has been a consistent goal of the borough
to open up new lands and also to put in roads, and Mr. Shealy would
urge the Commission to approve the road system so that the project
could get underway this summer. Mr. Shealy related the direction
given by the Assembly in that the Assembly did not see the necessity
for 8 acres of recreational land.
PAT SZABO (front side of Island Lake) spoke in favor of Block R1 as
park. Ms. Szabo did not want to eliminate any green space in the
area.
r DON SWANSON, strongly in favor of keeping all the park area possible
(I around Island Lake and Beaver Lake.
LEN GROTHE was present and presented his views on the proposed
subdivision. Mr. Grothe felt a better plan was needed for the
proposed residential area.
SCOTT ARNDT wanted to go on record opposing the notices that were
not sent out, regardless of how long the list was.
MS. FREED read an opposing public hearing notice read into the record
from Donald and Marsha Fields, Lot 7, Dark Lake.
ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL declared a five-minute recess.
COMMISSIONER MARLIN KNIGHT MOVED TO BE WILLING TO GO FORWARD
with the platted roads, allow the Industrial area to be
developed, and forestall any decision on any residential areas
until a future date. COMMISSIONER JAMES seconded the motion.
COMMISSIONER HILL asked for clarification that under the motion
for accepting the Industrial area that lot lines be designated.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT replied "I think so," and the greenbelt areas
that have been represented. ACTING CHAIRMAN RENNELL called for
a roll call vote. The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
U) CASE S-84-017. PRELIMINARY Subdivision of a portion of unsurveyed
land within Section 31, Township 29 South, Range 18 West, Seward
Meridian, creating Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Chiniak Alaska Subdivision

XI COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS:
COMMISSIONER PATTERSON requested to go on record rebutting Mrs. Arndt's
statement "I have 11 lots so I should have 11 votes." Commissioner
Patterson's feelings were "one vote per one person, not one vote per one
dollar." Commissioner Patterson requested, through the Chairman, to
review the programing at KMXT and see about the possibility of getting
the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting back on the air.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT would have like to have met with the people from
the wetlands, Corp of Engineers, as he had some concerns with lakes
and wetland areas being filled in. Ms. Freed addressed this concern.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT voiced concern about the possibility of commercial
extraction of gravel being done under the pretense of site improvement.
Mr. Knight felt this to be an outright violation of extracting in resi-
dential areas, rural residential areas, or any area that doesn't
currently allow extraction.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT MOVED that any extraction and removal of sand, rock,
or gravel from the lot, other than Industrial areas, requires an exception
by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion was seconded and the
Chairman called for a roll call vote. The motion CARRIED by unanimous
roll call vote.
(A verbatim transcript of Commissioner Knight's comments can be obtained
at the Community Development Department, Kodiak Island Borough.)
