V. AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS
Lee James, owner of Lots 19-21, Block 3, New Kodiak Subdivision,
appeared before the Commission and expressed his opposition to
Case 93-013. He was concerned about the present parking situation,
impact on the values of surrounding properties, and maintaining the
current B--Business zoning without exception to the rules.
Jim Fisk appeared before the Commission and expressed support for
Case 93-013.
Bill Bishop, owner of the subject lot for Case 93-013, appeared before
the Commission to answer questions, to explain that he had complied
with previous conditions required by the Commission, and to express
support for this request.
A) Case 93-013. Planning and Zoning Commission review and
finding, pursuant to Section 17.57.050 (Off -Street Parking --
Location) of the Borough Code, that it is impractical to locate
all the required parking spaces on Lot 18, Block 3, New Kodiak
Subdivision, or on any contiguous lot, and permitting them to
be located within six hundred feet of the principal building or
use, on Tract N22, City Tidelands (Postponed and revised
from the March 17, and April 21, 1993 regular meetings).
COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO DETERMINE that
the freezer van attached to the structure on Lot 18, Block 3,
New Kodiak Subdivision is permitted as a legitimate addition of
floor area in support of a retail use, provided that the addition
does not reduce the number of required off-street parking
spaces to less than five (5) spaces and that any additional
P & Z Minutes: May 19, 1993 Page 2 of 21
spaces, related to the additional floor area, are provided for in
an approved parking plan.
The motion was seconded.
COMMISSIONER KOPLIN was concerned about the freezer van
complying with the UBC and the fact that zoning compliance
was not obtained before it was moved into its current location.
The motion was voted upon and FAILED by a vote of 3-1.
COMMISSIONER KOPLIN voted no.
COMMISSIONER ASPGREN MOVED TO FIND that it is
impractical to locate all the required parking spaces for the use
and commercial structure on Lot 18, Block 3, New Kodiak
Subdivision and to permit three (3) parking spaces in support
of the use on Lot 18 to be located on City Tidelands Tract N22.
The basis for this finding is that the structure on Lot 18, Block
3 New Kodiak Subdivision is nonconforming due the
inadequate lot area around the structure to provide for the use
of the structure and the necessary off-street parking. In
addition, the three (3) spaces to be relocated will comply with
all applicable parking codes and conditions of approval
required by the Commission to ensure compliance with the
specific provisions of Section 17.57.050 of the Borough Code.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. A parking plan will be submitted for review and approval
by the Community Development Department within 10
days of Commission approval of an alternate parking
location.
2. The parking agreement will be modified to include the
legal description of the lot where the parking spaces will
be located (Tract N22, City Tidelands).
3. Signs will be posted at both the Lot 18 and Tract N22
parking areas clearly identifying the use which the
parking areas support and the parking location in
relation to the use.
4. Supporting documentation will be provided to show the
relationship of Majdic Enterprises to the owners of record
of Tract N22.
The motion was seconded.
COMMISSIONER KOPLIN expressed his concern for this
request, in that he felt uncomfortable determining the status on
the freezer van before taking action on the parking plan.
The Commission discussed the series of events and the fact
that, had the freezer van not been placed where it currently is,
the extra parking would not be needed.
The question was called and the MOTION was voted upon and
CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
P & Z Minutes: May 19, 1993 Page 3 of 21 3
COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO RECONSIDER the
original motion on Case 93-013 concerning the determination
on the freezer van.
The motion to reconsider was seconded and CARRIED by
unanimous roll call vote.
COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO RECONSIDER THE
PARKING MOTION AND TO ADD the following condition
number 5 to the original 4 conditions concerning the parking:
5. The freezer van will be removed upon conclusion of the 2
year parking agreement.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote. (NOTE: No vote was taken on the reconsidered
motion. The item is therefore entered on the minutes for
action at the next meeting).
Staff pointed out that the motion to reconsider the
determination on the freezer van had been approved and
therefore, the question was currently on the floor, and needed
to be voted upon.
The MOTION TO DETERMINE that the freezer van attached
to the structure on Lot 18, Block 3, New Kodiak Subdivision is
permitted as a legitimate addition of floor area in support of a
retail use, provided that the addition does not reduce the
number of required off-street parking spaces to less than five
(5) spaces and that any additional spaces, related to the
additional floor area, are provided for in an approved parking
plan was voted upon, and CARRIED by unanimous roll call
vote.

r— COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND that
the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the rezone of
ASLS 86-91, a 4.89 acre parcel of land located along the south
shore of Ugak Bay, from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--Rural
Development; and to adopt the findings contained in the staff
report dated May 4, 1993, as "Findings of Fact" for this case.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
A rezone from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--Rural
Development is needed and justified because the RD--
Rural Development zoning district permits development
that:
A. is consistent with the type of development that
private land owners increasingly want to develop in
remote areas of the Borough;
B. will not increase the nonconformity of any
nonconforming uses or structures;
C. must be setback from marine and anadromous
waters unless the use developed is water
dependent;
D. will result in a sensible and efficient use of coastal
lands;
E. allows for a balance of uses, due to the range of
uses permitted, which will not favor short run
gains at the expense of long-term benefits, and;
F. will be coordinated with the applicable State and
federal agencies, to the appropriate extent, when
new development occurs.
2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
A change of zoning from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--
Rural Development on a ASLS 86-91, a 4.89 acre tract
located along the south shore of Ugak Bay, is generally
consistent with the applicable policies of the Kodiak
Island Borough Coastal Management Program. The
KIBCMP is an adopted component of the Kodiak Island
Borough's comprehensive plan. The tract is located in
the area designated for Development with Restrictions. A
conditional use permit is required prior to commercial
development of a lot smaller than five (5) acres in the RD-
-Rural Development zone. This will allow the placement
of stipulations on future approvals subject to Planning
P & Z Minutes: May 19, 1993 Page 5 of 21 S'
and Zoning Commission review. Such review will insure

Borough Coastal Management Program.

Development on ASLS 75-11, a five (5) acre tract, is
generally consistent with the applicable policies of the
Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Program.
The KIBCMP is an adopted component of the Kodiak
Island Borough's comprehensive plan. The tract is
located in the area designated for Development with
Restrictions. A conditional use permit is required prior
to commercial development of a nonconforming lot in the
RD--Rural Development zone. This will allow the
placement of stipulations on future approvals subject to
Planning and Zoning Commission review. Such review
will insure consistency with the policies of the Kodiak
Island Borough Coastal Management Plan.
The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous roll
call vote.
I) Case 93-044. Request for a rezone, according to Section

Wildlife Habitat to RD--Rural Development. Generally located
in Ugak Bay on the east side of Kodiak Island.
DUANE DVORAK indicated 22 public hearing notices were
mailed for this case and none were returned. Staff

COMMISSIONER PETERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND that
the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the rezone of
ASLS 90-151, a 3.46 acre parcel of land located along the south
shore of Ugak Bay, from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--Rural
Development; and to adopt the findings contained in the staff
report dated May 4, 1993, as "Findings of Fact" for this case.
1. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
A rezone from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--Rural
Development is needed and justified because the RD--
Rural Development zoning district permits development
that:
A. is consistent with the type of development that
private land owners increasingly want to develop in
remote areas of the Borough;
B. will not increase the nonconformity of any
nonconforming uses or structures;
C. must be setback from marine and anadromous
waters unless the use developed is water
dependent;
D. will result in a sensible and efficient use of coastal
lands;
E. allows for a balance of uses, due to the range of
uses permitted, which will not favor short run
gains at the expense of long-term benefits, and;
F. will be coordinated with the applicable State and
federal agencies, to the appropriate extent, when
new development occurs.
r 2. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
A change of zoning from WH--Wildlife Habitat to RD--
Rural Development on ASLS 90-151, a 3.46 acre tract
located along the south shore of Ugak Bay, is generally
consistent with the applicable policies of the Kodiak
Island Borough Coastal Management Program. The
KIBCMP is an adopted component of the Kodiak Island
Borough's comprehensive plan. The tract is located in
the area designated for Development with Restrictions. A
conditional use permit is required prior to commercial

development of lots smaller than five (5) acres in the RD--
Rural Development zone. This will allow the placement
of stipulations on future approvals subject to Planning
and Zoning Commission review. Such review will insure
consistency with the policies of the Kodiak Island
Borough Coastal Management Plan.

XII. COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS
COMMISSIONER PETERSON stated that his intention, in adding
Condition of Approval #5 to Case 93-013, was to draw a balance
between both views on this request, by setting the two year time
limit on the use of the freezer van, which would hopefully allow the
property owner enough time to come up with an alternate solution or
option to solving the parking problem, while still acknowledging the
concerns of the neighboring property owner.
IT WAS DETERMINED AFTER THE MEETING, THAT IN ORDER
FOR THE RECONSIDERATION OF THE VOTE ON THE STATUS OF
THE FREEZER VAN TO BE VALID, COMMISSIONER KOPLIN
NEEDED TO MAKE THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
COMMISSIONER KOPLIN TOLD STAFF THAT HE WOULD SUBMIT
A LETTER TO THE COMMISSION ON THE FOLLOWING DAY,
REQUESTING THE RECONSIDERATION AT THE NEXT PLANNING
AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING.
