VI PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Rezoning of Proposed Scott Subdivision, from Unclassified to R•3,
The plat of Mr. Scott's and surrounding properties was studied. KEA had sent
notice that they did not have any objections to the subdivision. Mr. Madsen
had reviewed the case and said that the rezoning was alright, except for the
fact that the easement was, in fact, an alley, and the width would have to be
increased from 15 ft. to 20 ft. in order to comply with the code of ordinances.
It was noted that this could be taken care of by simply making this correction
on the plat and that Mr. Barr's office could correct this. The Borough Engin-
eer suggested that the cul de sac be labled as such on the plat. A7.r. Haney
moved that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the rezoning of Scott
Subdivision fran Unclassified to R-3, Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 2, US Survey 3066,
A&B, Case 221-B . Mr. Wallace seconded the motion, the meeting was closed and
public hearing opened. fir. Scott was present in the audience, as well as taro
other property amens from the surrounding area. A lengthy discussion folla•7ed,
during which Mrs. Monigold was objecting because Mr. Scott had already obtained
an access easement and a sewer line on one side of their property and now he
is trying to obtain another easement on the other side of their lot. Mr.
Cichoski, who mined property across the street, was objecting to the rezoning,
however, when it was pointed out that his lot was not going to be rezoned, he
had no further objection. There was a great deal of discussion and background
material given, after which the suggestion was made that perhaps this should be
further researched with Mr. Madsen. The public hearing was closed and meeting
reopened. The question was called, and roll call vote was as follows Mr.
Ilelch, no; Mr. Waller, no; Mr. Wheeler, yes; Mr. Wallace, no; Mrs. Gellis, no;
Mrs. Kvalheim, no; I,1r. Raney, yes. The motion failed, the vote being 5-2
opposed. The approval of the final plat was discussed at this time. Since
the questions were raised during the publichearing concerning the easements,
it was felt that it should be resolved before the voting.

XI PLANNING AND STAFF ITF21S
A. Review Zon#q Maps, re Proposed New Zoning ordinance
The Clerk reported that the Borough Chairman requested that the P&Z use the
existing land use map and color the proposed zoning onto that map, hawever,
after some discussion, members felt that they would rather use the proposed
minutes of the meeting of August 13, 1969. The Commission further felt that
use of the proposed land use map would be a step fonward.
IIr. Haney also noted that in the Plinutes of August 11, 1969, joint meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Camlission and the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly,
the definition of the intent of the zoning ordinance was given. Iie added
further that at that meeting it was his understanding that the definition
could include the fact that variances and exceptions could be allawed. The
definition, ha-aever, does not include provisions for variances and excep-
tions. Mr. Haney then moved that the definition of the intent of the new
proposed zoning ordinance include the wording that variances and exceptions
Fould be allawed, thereby making the ordinance more flexible. The motion was
seconded by Plr. '�7elch, and motion vassed unanimously by roll call vote.
XII AUDMICL COIT=S
A member of the audience raised the question of what is being done to take
care of the sewer problem existing in Kodiak. He stated that Anchorage has
received a great deal of Federal financial support to aid therm in building a
sewage treatment plant and what is being done in Kodiak along these same lines?
The Clerk informed him that the Borough Chairman has initiated correspondence
to bring information to the Borough Assembly. It was questioned whether the
entire plan had to be adopted in order to obtain aic, for sewage treatment
plants and members of the Assembly pointed out that this was just one area
covered in the Comprehensive Plan, and that in order to receive any Federal
funding, a comprehensive plan of some type was essential.
