parking on Lots 6A, 6B, and 6C was impractical; that Mr. LeDoux had been
unable to obtain easements from other property owners in the area for the off-
street parking but that he could obtain a lease; and that Mr. LeDoux believed
that there were reasonable alternatives for providing off-street parking other
than on Lots 6A, 6B, and 6C. The Commission expressed concern about the
future of the building including expansion of the professional uses, selling the
building, and providing the off-street parking required by the Borough Code.

structure on the lot; and

FINDING OF FACT
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission finds that it is impractical
to locate five (5) of the seven (7) required off-street parking
spaces for the office/apartment located on Lots 6A, 613, and 6C,
Block 8, Kodiak Townsite, because parking developed on Lots
6A, 6B, and 6C would be unsafe and of questionable benefit to
the public.

FINDING OF FACT
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission finds that it is impractical
to locate five (5) of the seven (7) required off-street parking
spaces for the office/apartment located on Lots 6A, 613, and 6C,
Block 8, Kodiak Townsite, because parking developed on Lots
6A, 613, and 6C would be unsafe and of questionable benefit to
the public because of the following:
a. the ingress and egress to the parking area is unsafe due
to its narrow width (9.4 feet) and the steepness of Upper
Mill Bay Road;
b. construction of the parking lot would be detrimental to the
adjacent properties due to the increased drainage;
C. the location of the parking lot makes it unlikely that the
public would utilize the parking lot; and
d. the topography is such that it would undermine the
adjacent lot.
The AMENDMENT was seconded and CARRIED by majority roll call
vote. Commissioner Coleman voted "no."
The question was called and THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED
CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.

required for Lots 6A, 613, and 6C, Block 8, Kodiak Townsite to be
relocated to the off-street parking lot located on Lots 6 and 10, Block
14, New Kodiak Subdivision; subject to the conditions of approval
contained in the staff report dated December 19, 1989.
FINDING OF FACT
2. Five (5) of the required off-street parking spaces for Lots 6A, 6B,

WHEREAS, Section 18.20.030A of the Borough Code requires
the review of each disposal of Borough real property by the Planning
and Zoning Commission; and,
WHEREAS, Section 18.20.170 of the Borough Code defines
"disposal" as any disposals of real property including leases; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has held an
advertised and noticed public hearing on this disposal by lease; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has
determined that this proposal is consistent with the Borough Code,
specifically Titles 17 and 18, and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal
Management Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island
Borough Planning and Zoning Commission has determined that a six
hundred twenty-five (625) square foot Portion of Lot 5A, U.S. Survey
2538 is presently surplus to the Borough's needs and recommends to
the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly that it be made available for
disposal by lease for less than fair market value to the Kodiak Public
Broadcasting Corporation, a nonprofit organization.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough
Planning and Zoning Commission has determined that a two thousand
five hundred fifty (2,550) square foot Portion of Lots 5A and 7A, U.S.

FINDING OF FACT
The disposal is consistent with both Title 17 (Zoning) of the Kodiak
Island Borough Code and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal
Management Program. Since the Kodiak Island Borough has no
immediate plans for this property and since the length of the lease is
relatively short [ten (10) years], this property can reasonably be
considered to be surplus to the Borough's present needs.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
