KIBS227508

Land in accordance with Section 17.72.030 (Manner of
Initiation) of the Borough Code; and to adopt the findings
contained in the staff report dated September 3, 1991 as
"Findings of Fact" for this case.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
The rezone of Karluk Subdivision (all lots, blocks and
tracts) from C--Conservation to R1--Single-Family
Residential, B--Business and PL--Public Use Land, as
appropriate, is necessary and justified because these
respective zoning districts permit development that:
A. is consistent with the existing uses already
established within the subdivision;
B. is consistent with the prevailing lot areas and lot
widths available in this subdivision;
C. will not create any nonconforming land uses in the
subdivision;
D. will not generate additional traffic in the area
beyond what is already expected;
E. will encourage new development that is consistent
with the adopted land use plan.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning for Karluk Subdivision is consistent
with the 1984 Comprehensive Development Plan for
Karluk, with the exception of that proposed for Lot 4,
Block 1, which is a commercial lot as established by
exception to the zoning code (Case 84-124). The rezone
will correct a long established oversight that permitted
the creation of this subdivision in the C--Conservation
Zoning District where all of the lots are nonconforming
due to inadequate lot area and width.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
F) Case 91-046. Request for an exception from Sections
17.13.020 and/or 17.18.020 (Permitted Uses) of the Borough
Code to permit a small scale hunting and fishing lodge
operation for no more than eight (8) clients at one time to
locate on a residential lot. Lot 3, Block 6, Karluk Subdivision
(no address assigned).
DUANE DVORAK indicated 6 public hearing notices were
mailed for this case and none were returned. Staff
recommended approval of this request.

COMMISSIONER HODGINS MOVED TO GRANT an exception
from Section 17.13.020 and/or 17.18.020 (Permitted Uses) of
the Borough Code to permit a small scale hunting and fishing
lodge operation for no more than eight (8) clients at one time to
locate on Lot 3, Block 6, Karluk Subdivision; subject to the
condition of approval contained in the staff report dated
September 3, 1991; and to adopt the findings contained in the
staff report dated September 3, 1991 as "Findings of Fact" for
this case.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL
1. This exception for the placement of the camp building
(mobile home) on the proposed lot is conditioned upon
the change of zoning from C--Conservation to RI--Single-
Family Residential within one (1) year so that the
structure will meet reasonable setback requirements.
Otherwise, a variance of the setback requirements for the
C--Conservation Zoning District would be required for the
camp building installation.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the use as proposed in the application, or under
appropriate conditions or restrictions, will not (A)
endanger the public's health, safety or general welfare,
(B) be inconsistent with the general purposes and intent
of this title and (C) adversely impact other properties or
uses in the neighborhood.
A. Granting the exception will not endanger the
publics health, safety or general welfare. The
mobile home was originally built to meet the
regulations that were in effect at the time the unit
was constructed. Therefore, the unit should
substantially meet reasonable safety standards,
whereas new residential construction in the
villages of the Kodiak Island Borough are exempt
from building code requirements.
The building will not be continuously occupied. It
will not unreasonably require services provided by
the community in excess of those normally
required for a single-family dwelling. Because the
applicant will have the unit located next to the
owner occupied single-family dwelling, it is
expected that extra care will be taken to insure that
the camp building does not endanger the health,
safety or general welfare of the community.
KIBS227510
P & Z Minutes: September 18, 1991 Page 8 of 18
B. Commercial uses are generally held to be
inconsistent with the general purposes and intent
of both the C--Conservation and R1--Single-Family
Residential Zoning Districts. However, many
hunting and fishing lodges have been permitted in
the C--Conservation zone by the Commission in
recent years. Staff notes also that the
Comprehensive Development Plan for Karluk
specifically addresses the development of small
scale hunting and fishing operations in the
residential area as a way to encourage economic
base development in the community. It is
generally accepted that the community will use the
residential area as an incubator for small
businesses that may or may not meet the
requirements of a home occupation until such time
as the business requires a storefront location
elsewhere in the designated commercial area of the
subdivision.
C. Due to the fact that the applicant will live on the
same lot as the camp building (mobile home), it is
expected that every effort will be made to insure
that the use does not result in off -site impacts that
would affect nearby residents. The camp building
will be located on the side of the existing dwelling
where it will not be adjacent to any other
dwellings. Screening may be required as a
condition of approval if the Commission feels it is
warranted.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
G) Case 91-048. Request for rezone of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 5696
from PL--Public Use Land to R 1 --Single-family Residential, and,
R-3--Multi Family Residential, in accordance with Section
17.72.030 (Manner of Initiation) of the Borough Code. Lot 1,

COMMISSIONER HARTT MOVED TO ADOPT Planning and
Zoning Commission Resolution 91-01-R in accordance with
Sections 18.20.030 and 18.20.100 of the Borough Code,
recommending that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
dispose of a partial interest in Borough land for less than fair
market value to the Kodiak Electric Association to provide a
twenty (20) foot electrical easement on Lot 1A, U.S. Survey
3465, to allow for the installation of above -ground electrical
lines to serve the Island Lake Subdivision, subject to the
condition of approval contained in the staff report dated
September 9, 1991 and to adopt the finding of fact contained in
the staff report dated September 9, 1991, as "Finding of Fact"
for this case.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Electrical line installation shall be subject to the
performance standards contained in Section 17.10.050.
2. The Kodiak Electric Association will plat an as -built
survey of the easement granted by the approval of this
request.
FINDING OF FACT
The disposal of Borough land to a non-profit association for a
legitimate public purpose (i.e. supplying better electrical
service to the Island Lake Subdivision), at less than fair market
value, is a valid basis for disposing of the Borough's interest in
property. Granting of this easement will not significantly
change the use or ownership pattern of the land which is
already been established by the Borough. In addition, the
installation will parallel existing water and sewer lines and a
planned new access route that the Borough will develop in the
future. This disposal is consistent with Title 17 (Zoning) of the
Borough Code, the 1968 Kodiak Island Borough
Comprehensive Plan and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal
Management Program.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.

Conservation to I --Industrial (postponed from the August, 1991
regular meeting).

the following criteria into their report to the Assembly:
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
KIBS227518
P & Z Minutes: September 18, 1991 Page 16 of 18
The rezone of Lots 1, Block 1, Sawmill Subdivision from
C--Conservation to I --Industrial is not necessary and
justified because the I --Industrial Zoning District permits
development that:
A. is generally inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of the 1985 Monashka Bay
Comprehensive Plan;
B. is not compatible with the nearby residential
development based on public testimony;
C. would devalue nearby residential property due to
the likelyhood of uses which would result in off -site
impacts to residences such as noise, vibration,
glare etc.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The 1985 Monashka Bay Comprehensive Plan shows this
area to be designated for B--Business development. The
history of this lot is one of limited I --Industrial uses. It
would not be appropriate to permit the complete range of
permitted industrial uses on this site due to the location
nearby of residential development. A rezone to I --
Industrial is not consistent with the goals and objectives
of the plan. As indicated by public testimony at a public
hearing on this request, I --Industrial uses should be
located farther out Monashka Bay Road and away from
existing residential areas.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous voice
vote.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
There was no new business.
