1983-08-16 Regular MeetingMINUTES Service District #1 Advisory Board Public Meeting Water and Sewer Extension Back Side of Dark Lake and Island Lake August 16, 1983 7:30 p.m. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Chambers A public meeting, in conjunction with the Service District #1 Advisory Board meeting, was held at 7:30 p.m. on August 16, 1983 for the sewer and water line extensions on the back side of Dark and Island Lakes. Service District #1 Advisory Board members present were: Scott Arndt, Norm Wooten, Jim Poulos and Carolyn Brisco; thereby establishing a quorum. Also present were some of the property owners (see attached list) to voice their particular concerns regarding their lots. Scott Arndt, Chairman, opened the meeting explaining the purpose of the public meeting and introduced Jack Leet of URS. Mr. Leet gave a brief overview of the proposed project, explaining that the limitations of pump cability and cost should be considered in any request for changes. The follow- ing is a compilation of those concerns with responses by URS Engineers and Kodiak Island Borough staff. PAT SZABO What does the construction road look like and how does it LOT 4, USS 3464 affect our property? Scott Arndt. It will be a one -lane temporary driveway used to haul material an equipment to the construction sites. URS. After construction, all construction roadways will be restored to their original state of condition. RICHARD RAY Why are the sewer and water lines separated on my lot? What LOT 13, USS 3104 kind of future construction, i.e. easements/right-of-ways, is anticipated? Any need for a right-of-way on Lot 13? URS. The lines were separated to allow for a fire access to hydrants along the roadway. At this time there are no definite plans for construction, nor are there plans for a right-of-way on Lot 13. ROBERT WEST What will the road look like - will there be any damage to LOT 10, USS 3103 logs in the fill area? URS. There will be minimal damage to the road. LOU SCHNEIDER In 1966 there was a 60 -foot right-of-way dedicated. This LOT 8B/8C, affects the junction of Lots 8C and 8B. Why are you cutting USS 3103 into the existing road, instead of this right-of-way? What about drainage? Will my lawns be restored? What is the property value based on for the utility easements? URS. The rational on the right-of-way was to stay with the traveled right-of- way, but it could be changed to use the dedicated right-of-way. Any improve- ments on your property, such as your lawn, will be restored. Dave Crowe. The value of the permanent easement was based on 10% of the proper- ty vie of the lot. rPage Two TOM SWEENEY LOT 18, USS 3466 r Public Meeting August 16, 1983 Why is the temporary easement two-thirds across the back of the lot and not on an existing easement? Will future roads require 50 more feet off of my lot? URS. Due to a steep incline, the temporary easement was placed there. Any other route would probably affect an adjacent property owner. The fifty -foot easement was platted years ago by the federal government and did not take into consideration the steep incline on the lot. Dave Crowe. There are no current plans for additional fifty -foot easements in your area. DON FIELDS The planned easements take too much out of the pie -shaped LOT 10, USS 3466 property that I am considering purchasing - could you adjust the easements? I'm also concerned about a total of forty -foot easements and tree removal. URS. That particular lot is already under reconsideration for adjustments. w my feet of the easement is temporary and construction will try to remain within that 20 feet. Tree are removed minimally due to cost, and we try to work this out with the property owners ( Carolyn Brisco concurred with URS). Dave Crowe. Pump units will be installed, as part of the project, on lots that curry have dwellings. It will be the owner's responsibility to connect from the dwelling to the pump; the Borough will connect from the pump to the main line. DUNCAN FIELDS Way aren't existing fifty -foot easement being used for LOTS 8,9, & 10 construction? What will future lots have for easements? USS 3466 Fifty feet? The existing lots would wind up with 100 foot easements? I also don't feel the natural ground cover could ever be restored (sited example of an old driveway that is still barren). KEA lines are currently strung through the trees; in the future, if they are laid, will it require a new easement? Dave Crowe. The current Borough Code will not allow selling land without constructing the roadways. Your grass could be restored with hydro -seed. Regarding KEA lines - if KEA can coincide laying their lines with the Borough project, it will be put in the fifty -foot easement; but the Borough will not hold up construction waiting on KEA. FRED BRECHAN Do you propose to go across the existing road with water and LOT 1, USS 3104 sewer? There is a problem with tree under the road - three 90 -foot trees are there now. Should be rerouted nearer to Island Lake. Dave Crowe. The line has been designed for future sites also, so may not be pract� io do so. Page Three ROBERT WEST 10, USS 3103 Public Meeting August 16, 1983 How much will a lot be allowed to be divided into after LOT sewer and water is installed? Scott Arndt. This decision will be left up to the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion and will depend on the lot size and capability of the water and sewer system, i.e. how many dwellings could hook into one pump. BRIGETTE OSKOLOKOF Will the Borough provide the line from the pump to the main LOT 9, USS 3103 line? I'm also concerned about how many trees will come down on my lot. Dave Crowe. Yes the Borough will provide that line. URS. Only the trees that have to will come down and that is discussed with the owner. RICHARD RAY Will there be a moratorium on construction (until these LOT 13, USS 3464 lines are laid)? How are the projects being funded? Scott Arndt. Yes, because there is no more capacity in the existing lines for new users. Dave Crowe. The projects are being funded by State grants; there will be no assessments. PAT SZABO Is there any possibility of moving the sewer line back? LOT 4, USS 3464 URS. No problem, unless adjacent owners object. The line could be dug deeper to accommodate for a different location. ILSE REIMNITZ I would like to find out if the line could be changed on my LOTS 9 & 10 lots. USS 3464 URS. It could maybe move five feet; but the steep side hill causes problems. FRED BRECHAN Who currently has control over the existing lines? I've had LOT 1, USS 3104 no water since Saturday. My line was blown off the main. Dave Crowe. The Borough has control of the lines. Any problems should be directed to Borough staff. The contractor requires eight hours notice, but often Borough staff will try to correct problems. JIM CURRY. Would variances be a possibility for a change in setbacks for building sites? Dave Crowe. That decision would have to be made by the Planning and Zoning ommi� ssion. r r Page Four Public Meeting August 16, 1983 After encouraging the property owners to contact the Borough or URS with any requests within the next few days, the public discussion ended at 9:00 p.m. An extended discussion on the merits of constructing the permanent waterline from Mill Bay Road to Naughton's on Mill Bay then took place. Dave Crowe ex- plained the litigation which has been filed by Naughton and suggested that this line be installed to satisfy Naughton's request and stay out of court if possible. Scott Arndt stated he was against this approach because it would provide water to a new area before sewer is provided to areas which already have water and he didn't like being blackmailed. Dave Crowe explained that this waterline was included in the original scope of work for the Island Lake water and sewer improvements and completion of the entire project was the basis for obtaining the most recent $2.125 million grant from the Legislature. After further discussion, Carolyn Brisco, Jim Poulos and Norm Wooten indicated they were in favor of installing this permanent waterline and Scott Arndt was opposed. A proposal for installing this permanent water line will be placed on the Assembly agenda for the September meeting. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m. KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 1 Project No. 82-2 August 16, 1983 PUBLIC MEETING ATTENDANCE NAME LEGAL BOX Lou Schneider Lots 8B&C, USS 3103 2703 John Morton 44 Norm Wooten (Advisory Board) 3016 Karen White Lot 1132 Bridgette Oskolokof Lot 9, USS 3103 2393 Don Fields 2695 Duncan Fields Lots 8, 9, & 10 USS 3466 2025 Dick Ray Lot 13, USS 3104 961 Tom Sweeney Lot 18, USS 3466 1395 Nancy Sweeney Lot 18, USS 3466 1395 Scott Arndt (Advisory Board) 489 Ilse Reimnitz Lots 9 & 10 USS 3464 1384 Pat Szabo Lot 4, USS 3464 1633 Carolyn Brisco (Advisory Board) Wilma Welch 2152 Paul Pedersen Lot 14, USS 3103 1712 Fred Brechan Lot 1, USS 3104 1275 June Juelson P86 Robert West Lot 10, USS 3103 1581 James Curry 2770 Priscilla Branson Lot 4, USS 3104 2171 Dave Crowe KIB Engineer Dan Millard KIB Project Manager Phil Shealy KIB Manager Stu Turner URS Jack Leet URS Cathy Kester KIB Secretary III 0 • � SE.C�J'��• ��T.p/CT �ro �cf i✓o �Z-Z Pub /iG /✓Jee�ihy w}/erd�ane e ���Po�j =/l /%O/ D.VE /kyalo`5 -Ato4 —d 4,/4 c� Lo--� � Ll �ffiPf lel c r � g�x 133 .3Dzs f3m-,/moi Z
