COMMISSIONER LINDSEY MOVED TO GRANT preliminary approval to the
vacation of a twenty (20) foot wide water easement across a portion of Tract A-
IB, U.S. Survey 1671 on Spruce Island subject to one (1) condition of approval,
and to adopt the findings in the supplemental summary statement dated May 15,
2001 as "Findings of Fact" for this case.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Consent of the Assembly as outlined in KIBC 16.60.060 must be
obtained prior to final approval.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. This plat meets the minimum standards of survey accuracy and
proper preparation of plats required in Title 16 of the Borough
Code.
2. This plat meets all the requirements of Title 17 of the Borough
Code.

retained as greenbelt to provided buffer between the residential zoning and
the light industrial zoning of the municipal airport. In addition, changes in
zoning in the area since 1986, specifically rezone from RRl to NU-Natural
Use of substantial property across the street surrounding Beaver Lake and
rezone of what was originally Block 3 of Lakeside Subdivision (now

granted under Chapter 17.67 (Conditional use permits) of the Borough code
subject to thirteen (13) conditions of approval, and an additional motion be made
to recommend to the Alaska Division of Governmental Coordination that this
proposed placer mining operation be found consistent with the KIB Coastal
Management Program (KIBCMP).
P & Z Minutes: May 16,2001
Page 4 of 15
COMMISSIONER LINDSEY MOVED TO GRANT a request for a conditional
use permit, in accordance with KlB Code Section 17.13.040 F. (Conditional uses),
to permit non-recreational mineral extraction activity (placer mining) upland
within the northwest of the northeast quarter of Section 29, and the southwest of
the southeast quarter of Section 20, Township 42 South, Range 31 West Seward
Meridian, including a support camp and related structures within Section 17,
Township 42 South, Range 31 West, Seward Meridian; and also including non-
recreational mineral extraction activity (placer mining) from mean high tide to no
more than one (1) mile off-shore within Township 41 South, Range 31 West;
Township 41 South, Range 32 West; Township 42 South, Range 30 West;
Township 42 South, Range 31 West; Township 42 South, Range 32 West; and
Township 42 South, Range 33 West, Seward Meridian, subject to the conditions
of approval contained in the staff report dated May 2, 2001; and to adopt the
findings contained in that staff report as "Findings of Fact" for this case.
The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER STEWART.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. This conditional use permit is only valid for a period of five (5) years to be
concurrent with the multi-year APMA permit granted by ADNR. At the
end of a five year period, any further resource extraction activities in areas
in this application will require a new conditional use permit from the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Change or enlargement in the scope, scale, size, methods of operation, or
location of the resource extraction beyond the upland area within the
northwest of the northeast quarter of Section 29, and the southwest of the
southeast quarter of Section 20, Township 42 South, Range 31 West,
beyond the offshore area from mean high tide to no more than one (1) mile
off-shore within Township 41 South, Range 31 West; Township 41 South,
Range 32 West; Township 42 South, Range 30 West; Township 42 South,
Range 31 West; Township 42 South, Range 32 West; and Township 42
South, Range 33 West, Seward Meridian, or of the support camp described
in the application narrative within Section 17, Township 42 South, Range
31 West, Seward Meridian is not permitted without additional CUP review
and approval. Beaching of equipment and the access route to camp will be
as indicated in paragraphs 1 and 2, Page 2, of the letter from DGC dated
April 24, 2001 signaling start of ACMP review.
3. This conditional use permit is not valid unless the applicant obtains a
consistency determination from the State Division of Governmental
Coordination (DGe) and all required State of Alaska and federal permits
for the proposed activity have been issued.
P & Z Minutes: May 16, 2001 Page 5 of 15
4. Documentation must be provided that the septic system referenced in the
site plan complies with ADEC specifications.
5. To prevent erosion, scarification of landscape and damage to wildlife
habitat, recreational all terrain vehicle (ATV) use must be confined to the
mining area and designated access trails.
6. As customarily recommended by the State Historic Preservation Officer
(SHPO), mining activity will be stopped immediately should cultural or
paleontological resources be discovered during excavation and the site
protected.
7. Fuel and oil will be stored at least 300 feet from flowing waters, within a
twenty-four (24) by twenty-four (24) by three (3) foot bermed containment
area lined with a 20 mil or thicker liner. The 5,000 gallon tank will be
double-hulled. Sorbent pads will be on hand at all times. A fuel spill
contingency plan must be provided to the Community Development
Department (CDD) for review and approval prior to issuance of the
permit.
8. Applicable building permits to ensure compliance with building and fire
codes must be issued for structures (including three proposed A TCO
modular units) comprising the mining camp.
9. Following completion of mining activity or expiration of this CUP, all
structures and equipment shall be removed within one year and the mining
areas and camp returned to natural conditions, recontoured to original
topography, and reseeded as recommended by the Division of Agriculture.
10. All non-burnable solid waste shall be transported off Sitkinak Island.
11. Restrictions and stipulations attached to State and federal permits related
to this mining activity are incorporated as conditions of this CUP. This
includes adherence to recommendations of DNR to avoid conflicts with
the existing grazing lease and mining claims on Sitkinak Island and the
admonition by the U.S. Coast Guard that permission is not granted to use
property and/or facilities controlled by the federal government identified
in a letter to the applicant dated April, 2001.
12. A copy of the annual mining activity report required by Department of
Natural Resources will be provided to the CDD to be placed in the file.
13. Prior to issuance of the zoning compliance permit, the applicant will
register with the Borough finance director to fulfill applicable severance
P & Z Minutes: May 16, 2001 Page 6 of 15
tax obligations, as required by Kodiak Island Borough Code (KIBC)
Sections 3.26.020 and 040.
FINDINGS OF FACT
17.67.05 A. That the conditional use will preserve the value, spirit, character and
integrity of the surrounding area.
The value, spirit, character and integrity are preserved to the extent that this use
will be compatible with other uses in the area. Most of Sitkinak Island is owned
by the State and the only other two uses in the area both exist by virtue of State
lease or permit processes. To carry out the intent of the CUP as prescribed in
KIBC 17.67.060 and to preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the
surrounding area, numerous conditions of approval are suggested to control the
scope of the operation and to minimize negative impacts and use conflicts.
Erosion, landscape scarification, and degradation of habitat are prevented by
conditions restricting A TV use. Reclamation is required by filling working ponds
and recontouring and reseeding to restore the natural state as feasible and
practical. Other conditions prohibit introduction of animals to the island and
removal of all non-burnable solid waste. Fuel storage will require containment
and a spill contingency plan. Stipulations addressing habitat protection,
maintenance of fish and wildlife resources, and safeguard of the environment can
be further attached by State agencies with greater technical knowledge and
appropriate expertise as part of State Coastal Management Program consistency
review. Regarding the offshore placer mining operation, the spreading of tailings
by the dredge will facilitate the natural process of longshore drift and storm surges
in recontouring the excavated material.
In responding to agency questions raised for additional information, the applicant
has demonstrated an active willingness to satisfy permitting requirements and
pursue resolutions to conflicts identified. This is consistent with the intent
expressed in KIBC 17.67.010 (Intent), which recognizes that appropriate land
uses with potentially greater impacts should be allowed with application of
controls and safeguards to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
17.67.05 B. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter
pertaining to the conditional use in question.
The C-Conservation zoning specifically permits non-recreational mineral
extraction activities and related structures. It appears that impact on the natural
environment will be minimized and natural features preserved to the extent
feasible and prudent by the process as proposed and as modified by conditions of
approval or this CUP and stipulations attached by State agencies. Since the
project proposes to restore mined areas by refilling working ponds with stockpiled
topsoil and then recontouring and reseeding, existing vegetation coverage and
drainage patterns should be retained. For the same reason, excessive runoff and
erosion should be prevented. The applicant has stated that mining will not take
P & Z Minutes: May 16,2001
Page 7 of 15
place in streams or surface waters, therefore quality should be maintained, as
required.
KIBC 17.13.090 requires that consideration be given to cumulative impacts. The
existing placer mining operation in this area has been largely inactive in recent
rears due to economic conditions and international markets. With imposition of a
time period (3 years) and specific area (approximately 40 acres) for this CUP
impacts can be controlled. A reevaluation of the mining operation and its impacts
will be done in three years if the applicant wishes to continue. Further conditions
and controls can be imposed at that time if necessary.
17.67.05 C. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the
public health, safety, convenience and comfort.
Conditioning this CUP on the review and approval of applicable State and federal
permitting agencies will assure that potential environmental concerns are
addressed by those with appropriate expertise. There are no rear-round residents
in this area, therefore public health; safety, convenience and comfort will no
generally be compromised. A condition, which requires that support structures be
issued a building permit, should endure compliance with applicable building and
fire codes for safety of camp workers. Another condition requires containment
around fuel storage and a spill contingency plan to protect both workers and the
environment.
17.67.05 D. That sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or other safeguards are
being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this
section.
The extreme remoteness of the mining site itself guarantees setbacks and
buffering beyond what might otherwise be required for the zoning district. The
only adjacent or nearby uses are an existing placer mining operation to the south
and an existing grazing lease that overlays these mining claims. A condition of
approval requires adherence to recommendations of DNR Division of Agriculture
to avoid conflicts with the existing grazing lease on Sitkinak Island.
KIBC 17.13.080.B requires a setback of fifty (50) feet from the bank vegetation of
anadromous fish water bodies. The responses to ADF &G questions state that the
mining camp generally will be more than 500 feet from surface waters, and the
application narrative states that the dredge will operate in working ponds upland
but not on any stream or surface water, satisfying these setback requirements.

Regular session opened:
The question was called, and the motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
COMMISSIONER STEWART MOVED TO RECOMMEND to the Alaska
Division of Governmental Coordination that this proposed placer mining
operation be found consistent with the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal
Management Program (KIBCMP) and the Alaska Coastal Management Program
(ACMP), and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated May 2, 2001
as "Findings of Fact" in support of this recommendation.
The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER.
The question was called, and the motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
D) Case SOI-009. Request for preliminary approval of the subdivision of Tract F,
U.S. Survey 1682 creating Lots 1 through 3, Block 1; Lots 1 through 13, Block 2;
and Lots 1 through 15, Block 3, Woodland Estates Subdivision, including the
creation of additional right-of-ways. Puffin Drive and Plover Way.
STAFF indicated fifty-eight (58) public hearing notices were mailed for this case
with one (1) returned expressing concerns to request. Staff reported that
petitioner will be submitting a revised preliminary plat by the end of the week in
which it will remedy several concerns expressed during the work session. Staff
recommended postponement because of the relatively short turnaround time
between the agenda cutoff on Apri120, 2001 and the May 16,2001 packet review.
Staff did not feel that this case had adequate time for review by the review
agencIes.
COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER MOVED TO POSTPONE Case SOl-009 to
the next regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 20, 2001.
The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER STEWART.
Regular session closed.
Public hearing opened:
Ann Barker, property owner: Ms. Barker expressed that she is for development
but is against all the clear cutting that the developers are doing. Ms. Barker
recommended that tree-replanting requirements be implemented by the Borough
prior to finalizing any proposed subdivision (per attached letter).
Sheila Horton, property owner: Ms. Horton expressed concern regarding adequate
drainage, and concurred with Ms. Barker's recommendation.
P & Z Minutes: May 16,2001

E) Case SOl-010. Request for preliminary approval of the subdivision of Lot 4,
Block 2, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, 1 st Addition creating Lots 4A, 4B, and
4C, Block 2, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, 1st Addition. 411 Neva Way.
STAFF indicated that fifty-four (54) public hearing notices were mailed for this
case with none being returned. Staff reported the proposed subdivision area is
being developed with an existing mobile home residence and three (3) accessory
buildings (sheds). Some relocation or removal of structures will be required to
meet the setback and access requirements of the proposed lot design. Natural
drainage will have to be maintained across the site to maintain drainage capacity
and minimize the potential for off-site impacts. The petitioner will need to
coordinate the provision of water and sewer service with the City of Kodiak
Public Works Department to ensure compliance with City Code 13.18. Staff
recommended approve subject to three (3) conditions of approval.
COMMISSIONER STEWART MOVED TO GRANT preliminary approval of
the subdivision of Lot 4, Block 2, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, 1 sl Addition,
creating Lots 4A, 4B and 4C, Block 2, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, 1 st
Addition, subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report dated
May 1,2001, and to adopt the findings in that staff report as "Findings of Fact"
for this case.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The existing mobile home residence and shed located in the proposed flag
stem access drive will be removed or relocated to a legal location prior to
the filing of a final plat to complete the subdivision.
2. Natural drainage across the site shall not be blocked or impeded.
3. The petitioner shall prepare a plan for water and sewer service connections
to serve Lots 4A, 4B and 4C, and obtain the approval for the connection
plan from the City of Kodiak Public Works Department prior to final plat
approval.

F) Case 01-023. Request for a conditional use permit, in accordance with KIB Code
Section 17.13.040 D. (Conditional Uses), to permit a seasonal recreation camp
with provisions for up to 75 clients on a five (5) acre parcel located within Section
28, Township 26 North, Range 19 West, Seward Meridian. Spruce Island.
STAFF indicated six (6) public hearing notices were distributed for this case with
two (2) being returned in support of this request. Staff believed that this request,
subject to appropriate and necessary conditions of approval, meets all the
requirements necessary as reflected in the findings of fact for a conditional use
permit to be granted under Chapter 17.67 (Conditional Use Permits) of the
Borough Code. Staff recommended approval subject to two (2) conditions of
approval.
COMMISSIONER LINDSEY MOVED TO GRANT a request for a conditional
use permit, in accordance with Section 17.13.040.D (Conditional Uses) of the
Borough Code, to permit a seasonal recreation camp with provisions for up to
seventy-five (75) clients on a five (5) acre parcel located within Section 28,
Township 26, Range 19 West, Seward Meridian, on Spruce Island, subject to the
conditions of approval contained in the staff report dated May 1, 2001, and to
adopt the findings contained in that staff report as "Findings of Fact" for this case.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
P & Z Minutes: May 16,2001
Page 11 of 15
1. This conditional use permit is issued for a maximum of fifty (visitors plus
staff) people for the month of July, in the years 2001, 2002 and 2003, as
indicated in the petitioner's application for conditional use.
2. The petitioner will complete the engineering assessment for the operation
of a seasonal youth camp on Spruce Island and submit it for review and
approval by the Alaska Department of Environmental Coordination. A
copy of the written approval will be submitted to the Community
Development Department prior to the issuance of zoning compliance for
this use prior to camp occupancy.
FINDINGS OF FACT
17.67.05 A. That the conditional use will preserve the value, spirit, character and
integrity of the surrounding area.
The operation of the camp, which will support research into local native cultural
traditions and the exploration of archeological sites, is seasonal and temporary.
Minimal impact is ensured, not only by the short-term nature of the operation, but
also by the nature of the principal activity to respectfully and methodically
uncover the past. In this way the value, spirit, character and integrity of the
surrounding area should not only be preserved, but may also be enhanced.
17.67.05 B. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter
pertaining to the conditional use in question.
This proposed conditional use is consistent with both the intent of KIBC
17.67.010 requiring compatibility of the activity with the surrounding area, and
also KIBC 17.13.010 addressing the description and intent of the C-Conservation
zoning district, which provides for limited commercial land uses. It is also
consistent with the special district regulations of the C-Conservation zoning
district in KIBC 17.13.090 since impact on the natural environment is minimal
and natural features will be preserved intact.
17.67.05 C. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the
public health, safety, convenience and comfort.
The granting of this conditional use permit will not be harmful to the public
health, safety, convenience, and comfort since there are essentially no immediate
neighbors or adjacent land uses. Measures have been taken to protect the health
and safety of participants with the requirement that a potable water source and
solid waste disposal system be approved by ADEC.
17.67.05 D. That sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or other safeguards are
being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this
section.
Minimum lot area and setback requirements are satisfied. Natural buffering is
provided by trees and topography. The spirit camp is seasonal and temporary, as
P & Z Minutes: May 16,2001
Page 12 of 15
well as remote, and the potential for conflicts with surrounding neighbors or
adjacent land uses is minimal.
