IV. PUBLIC HEARING
Mr. Milligan introduced the two elements of the Comprehensive Plan: 1) the
Economy Population Community Services, and 2) Capacity Constraints, he
also stated that this is a second in a series of public hearings which the
Planning Commission will be conducting on the various elements of the Plan
preparatory to submission of that plan with the Commission's recommendation
to the Borough Assembly.
The Economy Population Community Services is the first element on tonight's
public hearing and the basic data contained within this element is somewhat
a duplication of work previously done in late 1977, as part of the OCS
Impact Study.
The Chairman, Mr. Busch, closed the regular meeting and opened the Public
Hearing for individuals wishing to express opinions on the Economy Population
Community Services Element.
DAN OGG In referring to the population constraint map; feels there is an
error in the projected population as he can account for 150 people living
in his area as opposed to 100.
Mr. Milligan replied that this figure was based on the 1974 Census. Simpson
Usher Jones did a random dwelling count in the area by using a multiplier,
which is a nationally accepted standard of 3.5 residents per dwelling. The
next census will be in 1980.

The Chairman closed the public hearing on the Economy Population Community
Services and opened the regular meeting. Mr. �-lilligan introduced the Capacity
Constraints by stating that it is compiled of a narrative text and eight maps.
This element will identify some key facts which would constrain planning for
development in the urban area. These constraints will affect the types and
location of land uses as well as the amount of development that can take place
without requiring major public investment in utility systems or other
facilities. In order for growth not to have adverse effects on Kodiak residents,
reasonable and realistic limits on the extent and pattern of future development
must be identifies. A number of natural factors affect the suitability of land
for development. Three have been selected as being significant in the Kodiak
urban area: steep slopes, water and wetlands, and natural hazards.
Mr. Milligan stated that in reviewing this information we find the report to be
accurate based on the latest known information.
The maps are identified as follows:
Map 5 Existing Land Use
Map 6 Steep Slopes
Map 7 Water and Wetlands
Map 8 Natural Hazards
Map 9 Developable Lands
Map 10 Water System
Map 11 Wastewater System
Map 12 Priority Development Areas
The Chairman closed the reg ular meeting and opened the Public Hearing on
Capacity Constraints.
DAN OGG questioned the existing land use map. Mr. Milligan stated that he would
check to verify if a piece of leased land for industrial purposes has been issued
or whether it is a drafting error in the composite of the map. Mr. Ogg expressed
doubts as to the accuracy of the work on the existing land use map. Mr.
Milligan said Staff would check out the following property description,which
is owned by Mr. Ogg, the status on undeveloped land on Lot 9, Block 4 and Lot
8, Block 4 of Island Vista Subidivision.
PATRICK HOLMES commended the Commission of the approach for developing the
Comprehensive Plan i.e., using hydrolodgy, water usage and looking at the
natural hazards. KIBS273022
Mr. Holmes mentioned Pierson Cove area and the areas north and east of the Cove,
more specifically where Father Father Herman's Street comes down to the Cove
as being tsunami areas not mentioned in the map.
The Chairman opened the regular meeting. To Mr. Holmes question regarding an
extension to the public hearing, Mr. Busch replied that the Borough Assembly
will also be hold a public hearing on these elements.
