affecting above referenced property from Residential to Business; and
Z-80-034. A request to rezone above property from R-1 to Business.
Mr. Perez asked the Secretary if the Planning Department had received
a response from the City of Port Lions regarding this request.
Secretary responded that Mr. Beck was handling that matter.
Mr. Beck stated that he had talked to Mr. '.lakefield (City Clerk
for Port Lions) and based on that conversation, Mr. Beck would
recommend that the zoning not be changed as it sounded like spot
zoning. In all fairness to the Nards,he had planned to go to
Port Lions, visit the site and get the information first hand.
Mr. Ball moved to table this request until a response was received
from the City of Port Lions. Motion was seconded by Mr. Perez.
At the concurrence of both, motion was withdrawn till after the

Z-80-035. A request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
affecting above property from High Density Residential to Medium
Density Residential; and
Z-80-036. A request to rezone above property from R-3 to R-2.
Mr. Pugh summarized the background of this request stating that
approximately three or four months ago Mr. Zimmer had come before
the Commission with a variance request for a multi -unit development
complex. Many people were very strongly opposed to this development
and have,therefore,petitioned the Commission to rezone this area
to a lower density.
Mr. Pugh closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Carol Nandersee stated that she was the one responsible for getting
signatures on the petition. She felt that the area in question
would not accommodate high density residential, the road was only
44' wide and would not handle a large volume of traffic and there
was no flood control. She stated that duplexes were fine but she
was against high density, 14-20-plexes. More supporters were in
the audience.
Approximately 6 people in the audience raised their hands in support
of Mrs. Wandersee's statements against high density residential zoning.
A question was raised in the audience as to what was Mr. Zimmer's
plans for his proposed multi -unit complex. Mr. Gordon, Building
Official, stated that Mr. Zimmer had gotten a building permit for
a 14-plex to be built on Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 6, Leite Addition.
r As to the other lots owned by Mr. Zimmer, he was undecided as to what
he will do with them.
In response to other questions by the audience, the Commission explained
that Mr. Zimmer's property was zoned R-3, allowing multi -unit complexes,
the amount of units being governed by the square footage available.
Mr. Zimmer had to also allow for the appropriate parking space, of which
both the staff and Commission had reviewed the parking plans and since
Mr. Zimmer's plans met all the requirements the Commission could not
Prohibit his development.
Mary Jane Longrich stated she would like the Commission to look at
the aesthetic quality. She felt that the present Zimmer building
in that area was a terrible eyesore. If Mr. Zimmer were allowed to
build another building, there should be guidelines directing him to
build something more attractive. She stated she was strongly opposed.
She further stated that she did not feel there was enough room for
more pets or traffic.
The Commission advised the audience that since R-3 zoning already
existed in that area, all past and presently approved construction
would still be permitted. If the zoning was changed to R-2, the
R-2 laws would apply to future development. The rezoning to R-2
would not be official until the Borough Assembly formally approved
same, which could take up to approximately 60 days. A contractor
could apply for a building permit for a multi -unit complex before
the Assembly takes formal action, and if all requirements are met, the
building permit would be issued.
Mr. Breckburg asked how come no one spoke when the zoning was originally
changed to R-3, most of the property owners bought property already
zoned R-3.
Mrs. Wandersee stated that there was a lot of confusion as to what
their property was zoned when they bought it. She originally thought
it was R-1, but it was a whole new ball field when thev found out it
was zoned R-3.

Mr. Pugh asked the audience how many people were at the hearing
to stop Mr. Zimmer's project? Approximately four people raised
their hands.
Beth Anderson stated that she thought R-3 meant three families,
not a 14-plex or a hotel.
Mr. Ball stated that if the zoning changes to R-2 it would mean
that Mr. Zimmer, or others, could maintain their multi -unit complexes
but would not be able to add to them.
Mr. Richard Rohrer cleared up some confusion of the audience as to
the present building of Mr. Zimmer's (yellow house already existing
in the area) by stating that it was a duplex and not a tri-plex as
some in the audience had suggested.
Mr. Pugh closed the public hearing and open the regular meeting.
Mrs. Crowe expressed her feelings that the roads in that area were
not well developed, not wide enough to accommodate high density
residential. R-1 or R-2 classifications were more suited to the
present road and development conditions and the size of the lots.
Mr. Pugh read two responses received regarding this petition:
John & Gretchen Hancock - for the proposed change; and
James Major - against rezoning, felt there should be more R-3 areas.

Mrs. Crowe stated her reasons for rezoning the above property to
R-2 were: 1) population was too dense; 2) poor access, road not wide
enough or finished enough to support traffic.
Mr. Hill stated his reason was that the area is small for R-3 zoning,
felt it was a good area for mainly single and R-2 complexes.
Mr. Zimmer addressed the Commission asto why they were trying to make
his building project non -compliant with the zoning.
Mr. Pugh explained that his proposed 14-unit complex would still be
allowed as his building permit was obtained prior to the rezoning of
his property. If Mr. Zimmer wished to withdraw his property from the
rezoning initiative, he could request same at the Assembly level, when
the Assembly considered this request.
3. Lot 5, Block 47, East Addition (Bruce W. St. Pierre)
- Z-80-037. A request for a variance from Section 17.18.040 (B) and (C)
side yard and rear yard requirements) to permit construction of a garage
and deck to the existing house on above property.
Mr. Pugh read Mr. Les Anderson's letter into the record opposing the
request for variance. Mr. Anderson's objections were based on: 1)
selling his property and would desire new owner be afforded opportunity
to comment regarding additional encroachment; and 2) further encroach-
ment might harm property valuation.
Mrs. Crowe asked Mr. Beck if there was room on the other side of the
ousF��or the garage.
KIBS225144

Mr. Beck referred the question to Mr. Gordon.
Pair. Gordon stated there was room on the other side but that would
r place the driveway on a corner which was not good.
Mr. Pugh closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Lacking response, the public hearing was closed and the regular
meeting reopened.
Mr. Hill stated that he had heard from some people in the area who
felt approving this request could devalue their property due to
encroachment, closing in property.
Mr. Gordon stated that most of the property in that area
have garages on the south side of their homes, if Mr. St. Pierre
placed his garage as he stated in his plans, it would be in line
with other homes in the area. He would also get rid of the shed.
Mr. Gordon was asked by the Commission if other garages encroach
into the side yards in that area. He responded that the other
garages were fairly close, the lots were wide and the requirement
of 10% of the width of a lot for the side yard could mean the other
garages in the area were encroaching also, but he had not measured
them to be sure.
Mrs. Crowe stated that she felt approving this variance would be an
injustice to the property owners in that area, particularly the property
owner on the side. She further stated that the owners had bought
r their homes that way and it would be wrong to approve this variance.
Mrs. Crowe asked Mr. Gordon if the 4' side yard was from the building
or the overhang, in other words, the overhang probably encroached another
2' into the side yard leaving only a 2' side yard.
0
Mr. Gordon stated the measurement was from the foundation of the proposed
building.
Mr. Beck suggested that since the house next door was for sale, and
the neighbor was concerned about the affect the approved variance would
have on his house, he (Mr. Beck) would suggest to Mr. St. Pierre that
the variance request be drooped until the neighboring house is sold.

Z-80-039. A request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan affecting
the above property from Public and Open Space to Medium Density Residential;
r and Z-80-040. A request to rezone above property from Rural -Residential
to R-2.
F1r. Pugh summarized the background on this case stating that Mr. Baker
had approached the Commission for a variance due to the more restrictive
requirements for lot area under the Rural -Residential zoning classification
as compared to that of R-2. The Commission thus initiated the petition
to rezone the above referenced property to R-2. This particular area
in Russell Estates was the last remaining portion designated Rural -
Residential within Russell Estates.
Mrs. Crowe asked Mr. Beck what was the land use in the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan of the whole area. Mr. Beck stated he did not know.

Mr. Pugh closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Mr. Don Baker addressed the Commission, pointing out that this
particular area in question seemed to be zoned Rural -Residential
as an oversight. The lots in question all have City sewer, water
and a developed street. The 'petitioned area involves eleven lots,
eight of which Mr. Baker stated were already R-2 use and one lot
was zoned R-3 (Gudenau).
Mr. Stan Fischer addressed the Commission, stating that he owned
several lots in the area and was actually present at the hearing
to find out what was occurring. He stated that he agreed with Mr. Baker
and had assumed the lots were zoned R-2 already. He stated that he
suspected that it was very unusual to have Rural -Residential in the
City. He personally endorsed this request as appropriate.
Mr. Norman Clentimack, owner of Lot 16, Block 2, stated he was originally
going to speak in opposition to this request because he was tired of
being reclassified. He stated there was much confusion regarding the
past zoning of the area, he thought he originally bought the property
as R-2, when he went to build on it he was told it was R-3, then
Unclassified and now Rural -Residential. He stated most houses were
duplex in the area and now that he understood what was happening he
was not opposed to rezoning to R-2
Mr. Pugh closed the public hearing and opened the regular meeting.
Mr. Erwin asked how the 'present duplex owners were able to get building
permits if it was not zoned to R-2. In response, he was told that much
of the property development occurred five or six years ago before a
Zoning Department existed.
Mrs. Crowe moved to rezone Lots 10-15, Block 3 and Lots 14-17, Block 2,
Russell Estates, Second Addition from Rural -Residential to R-2. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Erwin. Motion PASSED by unanimous roll ca
Lot 18, Block 2, Russell Estates, Second Addition was not included in
either of the above motions due to the fact that it was already rezoned
to R-3 per Ordinance #78-10-0, effective July 6, 1978.
B. SUBDIVISIONS KIBS225146
1. S-80-015. (Preliminary) Proposed subdivision of Lot 14A, USS 30%
into two lots (Lot 14A-1 of 8,075 sq. ft. and Lot 14A-2 of 57,269 sq. ft.)
(Richard Rohrer).
Mr. Pugh closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Mr. Dave Crowe advised the Commission that they could grant final
r approval of this subdivision since it was less than three lots. Sub-
divisions containing over three lots must go through preliminary before
granting final approval.
Mr. Hill noted that the easement on the small lot appeared to be right
on the house. Mr. Crowe stated the house is close to the lot line (7')
but the easement actually went right along side the house, it was hard
to show on this scale. It is required that utility easements be placed
along all lot lines. Front is dedicated right-of-way and therefore
no easement is needed.
Mr. Pugh closed the public hearing and reopened t"e regular meeting.
Mr. Hill moved to grant final approval to the proposed subdivision of

Proposed adoption of three (3) Official Updated Zoning Maps:
(a) Overall Kodiak Island Borough Map (Map #1)
(b) Kodiak Urban Area Zoning Map (Map #2)
(c) Bells Flats/Russian Creek Zoning Map (Map #3)
Mr. Pugh recessed the meeting to allow staff to put up the referenced
maps.
Meeting was recalled to order by Mr. Pugh.
Mr. Crowe advised the Commission that the Overall Kodiak Island
Borough Map was officially referred to as Map #1, the Kodiak Urban
area Zoning Map was Map #,2, and the Bells Flats/Russian Creek Zoning
Map was Map #3.
Mr. Pugh asked what was being done about village maps.
Mr. Crowe responded that he intends to update the village zoning maps
also, as time allows. Further, he plans to annually update the maps
considered for adoption as it would save much time and effort.
Ann Moen summarized the background to updating these zoning maps.
She stated that the Engineering Department started with the 1965 official
zoning map and researched every ordinance starting with day one. The
first zoning change was in 1965. They started with the most recent
zoning ordinance and worked backwards to produce the current updated
zoning maps.
Mr. Crowe stated that the adoption of these zoning maps will not change
any zoning, it just brings the maps up to date with zoning ordinances
already adopted (through Ordinance 80-31-0 of June 5, 1980, on zoning,
and through plat #80-10 on subdivisions). The Bells Flats/Russian
Creek Zoning Map did not involve changes in zoning but does reflect
subdivision changes (there were no zoning changes in that area).
Mr. Ball asked how long the project took to accomplish.
Mr. Crowe responded that it took two solid weeks, weekends and some
long nights. An annual update would probably take approximately two
days.
Mr. Pugh closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Lacking public comments, public hearing was closed and regular meeting
reopened.
Mr. Crowe stated that the proper street names would be added to the maps
as they were adopted.
Mr. Baker stated that in June -July, 1979 KEA went back and plotted
in all the recorded subdivisions at that point and found that there were
a great number of corrections then.
Mr. Crowe stated that he went back about four years on the subdivisions
to bring it up to date.
The Commission asked Mr. Crowe how long it would take to completely

draw up new maps showing all the correct subdivision information.
Mr. Crowe responded that it would take approximately 4-5 months
to accomplish such a task.
Mr. Gordon stated that several years ago there was an outfit that
wanted to do the whole island for about $6,000. They were going
to do it in townships, broken down by sections and lots,putting it
in book form.
The Commission decided this topic could be considered at a work session.

S-80-010. (Final) Proposed subdivision of Tract A, Bells Flats Alaska
Subdivision (USS 2539) (Kodiak Island Borough Assembly).
Mr. Pugh advised the Commission that the Bells Flats Planning Committee
had completed their review of the subject area. The Secretary will
be sending copies of the report to the Commission members also, since
they had not received copies. The Mayor has not had the opportunity
to respond to the requests made by that committee yet. The Mayor
and Borough Assembly would be reviewing same on Saturday, September 20th.
Mr. Mathes spoke to the Commission objecting to granting any final approval
of the proposed subdivisions in the Bells Flats/Russian Creek area
until the Borough Assembly acted on the Bells Flats Planning Committee
recommendations. He felt that the Planning and Zoning Commission was
making its mind up before the owner (Kodiak Island Borough) had made its
mind up as to what they (the .Assembly) were going to do with the land.
Mr. Pugh stated that the Borough Assembly had deferred action on the
land sale till their October meeting,waiting for these subdivisions to
be approved. The subdivisions have to be approved by P & Z before they
can be included in the land sale. If the Assembly wanted to change
the subdivisions thus creating a delay in the land sale, it was up to
them. In order for the Assembly to make any decision they first need
to have a legal description. The subdivisions in question have already
been before P & Z for preliminary approval and all stipulations have
been adhered to in preparation of the final plats, therefore, the
Commission cannot deny approval of same.
Mr. Perez asked what the time table schedule on the land sale was.
Mr. Mathes stated that the Assembly was not going to do the sale by
October.
Mr. Crowe responded that the matter would be before the Assembly for
their consideration at their October meeting. Pending the Assembly
decision, approximately 60 days would be required to prepare the
land sale brochure and prepare for the sale itself.

Mr. Pugh suggested to Mr. [lathes that he approach the Borough
Assembly with his concerns, and if they want the subdivisions
to come back to P & Z in their platted conditions,then the Commission
would consider their requests if so directed.
2. S-80-011. (Final) Proposed subdivision of Tract C, Russian Creek
Alaska Subdivision (Tracts C-1, C-2, and C-3); proposed vacation of
Tract A, and B, Russian Loop Road, Tracts G, H, I, J, and A.S.L.S. 72-11,

15B, 15C, and 16-23, Block 3, Russian Creek Alaska Subdivision (USS 2539)
(Kodiak Island Borough Assembly).
Mr. Crowe directed the attention of the Commission to the fact that
the final subdivision plat, which incorporated the changes stipulated
in P & Z Resolution S-80-011, renumbered some lots, in particular,
Lots 15A, 15B, 15C of Block 3 are now referred to as included in Lots 1
through 25, Block 1, Russian Creek Alaska Subdivision.
3. S-80-012. (Final) Proposed subdivision of Lot 3, Russian Creek Alaska

IX. INFORMATION AND REPORTS
A. COMMUNICATIONS
1. Letter from Emil Norton regarding building on Lot 7a, Block 5, Miller
Point - Yeshi Benjamini.
Mr. Norton was noted as having the water rights and is quite concerned
that Mr. Benjamini's project might affect his water source.
Ann Moen stated that Mr. Benjamini had indicated that he had talked with
the State Sanitarian in Anchorage and according to Mr. Benjamini, the
State Sanitarian indicated no permit was required for a privy.
She advised Mr. Benjamini that no building permit would be issued
without the Sanitarian's written authorization.
Mr. Pugh requested that a letter be written to Mr. Norton stating
what actions had been taken. The Building Official was to continue
supervising the situation and to take whatever actions were necessary
to enforce the ordinances. Further, he requested that the Building
Official report back to him (Mr. Pugh) personally on the status of

Mr. Ball stated he had two comments:
1) The P & Z agenda in the paper is a good idea, but would
like to see a sentence on the agenda stating that items
r-- might be added or deleted - maybe something to the effect
of: "other items may be brought up for consideration".
2) Asked where Tracts I and J were located on the Bells Flats
Zoning Map - right across from Leta Street.
Mr. Perez - None
XI. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mr. Dan Moen stated that there was a lot of building going on without
building permits out by the State Airport.
The Commission informed Mr. Moen that the area in question was Coast
Guard land and was not even in the Borough, therefore the Borough
had no jurisdiction. The building was happening at the mercy of the
Coast Guard, State, and the individual. Suggested Mr. Moen address
the Borough Assembly to acquire zoning authority over the lease areas
of the Coast Guard.

IX. INFORMATION AND REPORTS
B. REPORTS
3c. Planning Director - Since Mr. Beck was not present earlier in the
!— meeting when this item was considered, Mr. Pugh allowed time at
this point for consideration of same.
Mr. Beck stated that he had been talking to a couple of people
about funding of an undated comprehensive plan. The Borough could
lose funding due to a lack of an adopted,uodated comprehensive plan.
He stated, further, that there was no way the Boroughh could spend
all the CZM monies in a short time and that there was the possibility
of including the comprehensive plan update within the CZM budget/plan.
Rather than applying for separate grant funds, we already had these
funds.
KIBS225151

Mr. Ball asked when these funds had to be used by?
Mr. Beck stated that the report was to be filed by June 30th.
r- Mrs. Crowe suggested that the subject matter be gotten together
and presented at a work session.
The Commission expressed their feelings that they had been through
the process of recommending adoption of a comprehensive plan, and
had already invested much time and effort on their part to accomplish
same.
XI. AUDIENCE COMMENTS (Continued from earlier in meeting)
Mr. Burt Dolerheight of Glacier State Telephone, stated that
he had been talking to a lot of Bells Flats area people regarding
telephones and the addresses in that area are a BIG problem. He
requested that the Borough establish a house numbering system in
the Bells Flats/Russian Creek area.
Mr. Ball moved to direct the Borough Planner to inaugurate a numberi
system in the Bells Flats/Russian Creek area due to increase of
000ulation and the inconvenience of utility companies. Mr. Perez
seconded the motion. Motion PASSED by unanimous roll call vote.
Mr. Ken Sikora asked the Commission what the definition was for
"light" and "heavy" industrial use?
Mr. Ball stated that he considered "heavy" industrial use to be
r like that in Bells Flats with Brechan's asphalt plant and gravel
extraction.
r--
The Commission reiterated that the Comprehensive Plan is in limbo,
the new plan did outline differences between light and heavy industry.
If industrial use was established on a lot tomorrow and the area was
rezoned thereafter to another use, the industrial use would be allowed
to continue as a non -conforming use.
Mr. Don Baker stated that he recognized the concerns of the Bells Flats
Committee and suggested that the appropriate action to take is to
approach the people running for election as these people might well
be making decisions that will affect that area. Talk to the Assembly
members. Bring the subject matter to the forefront of the Assembly
and force the issue.
