real property reviewed by the Commission in Case 92-018:
WHEREAS, the values of the parcels to be exchanged are of equivalent

because the property gained through the land trade is a good candidate
for a future road that will serve a number of other private lots, and
WHEREAS, the land exchange meets the requirements of Chapter
18.80.020 Procedure, of the Borough Code.
Now therefore be it resolved by the Kodiak Island Borough Planning

containing a recommendation to the Borough Assembly regarding the land
disposal reviewed by the Commission in Case 96-020.
WHEREAS, a lease of land to KISA at this location will dovetail with the
existing lease of the rifle range, and

relation to the parcels already deeded to the City from AKI, and neither had
responded prior to the meeting. Staff recommended the Commission approve the
motion currently on the floor, as shown below:
Move to recommend that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve
the rezoning of a 64.19 acre parcel, as defined by the Akhiok watershed
area metes and bounds description dated October 2, 1996, within U.S.
Survey 4657 (Akhiok Watershed) from RI Single family Residential to W-
Watershed, and to adopt the findings of fact in the staff report dated
October 8, 1996 in support of this recommendation.
17,72,020A Findings as to the Need and ustii icationfor a Change or
Amendment.
P & Z Minutes: November 20, 1996 Page 5 of 8
A rezone from RI -Single-family Residential to W-Watershed is needed and
justified because the W-Watershed zoning district permits development
that:
A. will protect and regulate the Akhiok municipal water supply to
ensure maintenance of good water quality and supply; and
B. will prohibit all other land uses not compatible with the
maintenance of the municipal watershed.
17.72 020B. Findinrs_as to the Effect a Chance or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A change of zoning from RI -Single family Residential to the W-Watershed
zoning district is necessary to provide basic protection of water quality for
the Akhiok community. This rezone is in conformity with objectives and
recommendations stated in both the 1968 Borough Comprehensive Plan
and the 1986 Akhiok Comprehensive Plan.
The question was called and the motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
