Following some discussion Mr. Ball lock B. Rezone a portion of USS 2537 B. (Harbormaster Building and parking lot area), from Service Recreational to Business, City of Kodiak. Mr. Milligan reported although the property is located immediately adjacent to the Kodiak R-19 Renewal Project it is outside the project boundary. The reason for this rezoning request is that an illegal business use is being conducted in the Harbormaster Building and while this rezoning would have no effect on other existing uses of the land as all such uses are allowed in Service Recreational and Business Districts. The change could open the door to pressures for additional business use of the land which might result in reducing the existing parking lots. This application does not come under the moratorium. Staff recommends a work session with the Kodiak City Council and City Manager for determining the best future use of the property. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. kOMWAITIAM IVAN WIDOM, City Manager, would like to rezone the block where the Harbormaster Building and parking lot is located.

Mr. Denslow, Borough Manager, stated that this will probably be the first of a series of presentations and public hearings on elements of the Plan. He explained why it is being brought before the Commission and the importance of the product to the overall construction of the new regional development plan. More than a year ago a work outline was presented that was to be the basis of the documentation for the plan. The structure of the frame upon which a plan is assembled is the statement of goals and policies that the citizens of the community feel best express their wishes for the future of the community. To accomplish this a Citizen Community Attitude Survey was conducted. Of 2,000 questionaires mailed to registered voters in the urban and village ageas, 500 were returned or 25%, which is a significant return. Responses were analyzed for their correlation to a specific set of questions developed by the Joint Forum. The Joint Forum was to formulate a set of questions which would draw response from the audience that were specific as to what is best for the Community. The returned responses were analyzed by the Urban Observatory of the University of Alaska, Anchorage. The product of that in a computer print out form was used to formulate the draft statement of Goals and Objectives. Mr. Milligan, Planning Director, quoted from the Statement of Intent of the Goals & Objectives Statement. He commented that in order to fully understand the implications of a set of goals there must be some indication of how the established goals are to be obtained and the methods and policies that will be utilized in their detailed implementation. This further explanation of the goals takes the the form of objectives. The first step in establishing the goals and objectives is to develop a primary goal. This goal will indicate, in general terms, the expressed desires of the residents of the community for future growth of their area. He then read into the record each of the Proposed Goals for the Plan. Mr. Milligan introduced MaryJo Simmons as the analysist that took the results of the survey. Ms. Simmons presented a profile of an average person answering the Community Attitude Survey. It describes in general but fictional terms, the typical Kodiak resident and what he thinks.
