COMMUNICATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Letter from School District - RE: Walking Trails and Bicycle Trails -
Letter reed by Mr. Holt; It was noted that the Borough has no power to do
such a thing. Mr. Holt stated that we could get money from the Bicentennial
Commission, possibly the Johnny Horizon program. Mr. Stover suggested that
we ask the Department of Highways. Mr. Ecklund noted that the City of
Kodiak is presently upgrading their streets and will be putting sidewalks in.
Mr. Holt asked that the staff write a letter to the Bicentennial Commission and
the Department of Highways and also ask Mr. Green, Superintendent, exactly
what area they want these trails to go so we can specify a certain area to the
Department of Highways. Mr. Terry suggested the Outdoor Recreation program
could probably assist us also. The commission agreed on these procedures.
B. Letter from Arnold Hansen - RE: Additional Use Permit (letter read by Mr. Holt)
Mr. Holt suggested that the Commission hold a public hearing on this because
of so much static from the residents in this area. Mr. Stover stated that the
Borough should let Mr. Hansen operate the Mill in this area. Mrs. Gellis stated
that she believes we need a mill, but a different location should be found.
Mr. Stover made motion that we grant the request. Motion died for lack of second.
Mrs. Gel!is made a motion that we call for a public hearing on this request.
Seconded by Mr. Welch. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Zahn
stated that this use would be a variance to the present use that is taken place,
and that can the Commission even grant an exception. Mrs. Gellis feels that this
is due process for a public hearing. Mr. Chasealso foals that a sawmill is needed
but in a differen; area. Mr. Schneider stated that if this use is granted, this
will set a precedent for other forms of business ventures to come in. Gary Eller
stated that he lives by this area and the noise is obnoxious and it is unsightly.
