X. REPORTS
LINDA FREED reported that as a result of a Community Development
Department staff meeting held on August 11th, subdivisions will be processed
by the existing methods used for Title 17 Planning and Zoning Commission
reviews. It was the opinion of staff that the process would be less
complicated, less time consuming, and more accurate if subdivisions were
processed in the established manner along with Title 17 Planning and Zoning
Commission reviews. This will necessitate transferring some of the
department secretary's workload to the half time position shared with the
Facilities and Engineering Department.
The Kodiak City Council has requested a joint worksession with the Planning
and Zoning Commission on Tuesday, August 29, to discuss development of
Near Island.
LINDA FREED requested direction from the Commission regarding subdivision
processing. Ms. Freed noted that a check list of application deficiencies is
being developed and that the local surveyors would like to meet in a
worksession to discuss possible revisions to Title 16. Ms. Freed noted that the
local surveyors object to signing the subdivision application form. Horizon
Surveying will sign but attaches a "disclaimer," while Ecklund Surveying
refuses to sign.
The Commission directed staff to arrange a worksession with the surveyors
and to develop the check list, but not to refuse to accept subdivisions because
of deficiencies.
There were no further reports.
