Motion FAILED with a 2-2 vote_ with Mrs. Strickert and Mr. Briggs voting NO and Mrs. Crowe and Mr. Ramaglia vo Mrs. Crowe you do have the right to appeal our decision to the Borough Assembly. Mike Rasmussen shouldn't the notices you recieved be a part of the record? Mrs. Crowe I'm sorry, Mr. Crowe how many notices returned? Mr. Crowe 6 received with non -objection. Mike Rasmussen I don't understand why Mr. Briggs abstained from voting on the exception but voted on this. Mrs. Crowe Mr. Briggs was advised by his attorney to do what he felt best in this situation. Mr. Walton we felt it would be appropriate for Mr. Briggs to vote on the site plan as the granting of the exception answered whether or not it was a permitted use in a business district. Also without Mr. Briggs voting tonight there would not have been a quorum for the meeting. Mr. Crowe you may wish to state your reasons for denial. REASONS FOR DENIAL: Mrs. Strickert trailer court in my opinion is a residential use not a business use. Mr. Briggs trailers are not a business, it would cause too high a denisty in the area. Mrs. Strickert I am not against the trailer park, as I believe we need a mobile home park, but I do not think it should be in a business district. Mr. Ramaglia we are voting on the site plan not whether or not it is permitted. We already acted on that. Mr. Crowe proposed park does not front on residential land. Mrs. Crowe it touches residential if the zoning goes to the middle of the street. KIBS225318 KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING COMISSION MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING July 7, 1982 Page 3 F F Mr. Crowe you granted him the exception at your last meeting. Mike Rasmussen Mrs. Crowe, this may help Mrs. Strickert in her feelings. I would not object to you putting a time limit of 10 to 15 years;on this park. It is before its time to develop this land for business uses. I would like to continue the mobile home use over all of the land in USS 3218 that I own. Mrs. Strickert can a time limit be placed on this? Mr. Walton yes, it can be done. Mrs. Crowe called a recess at 8:20 p.m. for discussion between the Commission only.
