Mr. Erwin suggested that upon completion of the fencing, we grant them a lease. Mr. Hickman stated that a grazing lease runs about $400.00 a year.

Discussion of Proposed Capital Projects - Mr. Terry suggested that we build some pioneer roads. Mrs. Gellis asked about the Local Service Road project. She believes that some roads should be put in the Monashka Bay area. Mrs. Holt explainer} that we are now clearing Melnitsa Lane, which is in the Monsshka Bay area. We can only use so much money the State grants us to complete the roads. This road project is within our money allotment. Mrs. Gellis mentioned that we should look into getting a park for campers and that we should designate a camp. ground. Mrs. Holt contacted the Division of Parks and they stated they will not grant us money to have camper parks be- cause of our high rate of vandalism and until the rate drops they cannot help us. But they will help us obtain grants from other federal funded projects that are available. P&Z suggested putting a camper ground in the VFW area. There was also a question of the land behind the Kodiak Airways hanger, which the Borough owns. This would be a good place for camp grounds.' Mrs. Holt stated that the Borough has indicated that they would like to have a work session with the P&Z Committee and the City Council as soon as they are finished with the budget. Mr. Burnham brought up the question of where to put the boat ramps that were given to us. Mr. Hickman stated that the new Monashka Road area would be a good place to put the ramp. This road was not open when they were putting the ramps up, but the area there is suitable for the ramps now. Mr. Hangstefer, Building Inspector, has a question about the Cove Trailer Park. He stated that some people wanted to enclose their porches and he wanted to know if they could, because he did not quite understand the ordinance. It was noted that they can enclose their porches as long as the trailers are 15 feet apart. P4Z stipulated this at their November meeting when Jim Long(manager of Cove Trailer Park) was present. The trailers must be 15 feet apart if porches -are enclosed. X ADJOURNMENT r— The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. ATTEST: Norma L. Holt Acing Borough Clerk APPROVED: John Welch, Chairman KIBS272777
