PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Case 08-011. Request s rezone, according to KIBC 17.72.030.B and KIBC 17.72.050, to
investigate a change of zoning from B-Business to RNC-Rural Neighborhood Commercial.
(Formerly a request to investigate the rezone of Tract A of Tract L, Russian Creek Alaska
Subdivision from B-Business to RRI-Rural Residential One.)
Cassidy reported this case that was postponed a number of years ago until after the adoption of
the Worn ens Bay Comp Plan that turned into the Kodiak Island Borough Comp Plan. The request
is to create a RRl Rural Residential One subdivision with RNC-Rural Neighborhood
Commercial within the island ofB-Business found in Womens Bay. With the passage of the new
Comp Plan, the island ofB-Business in Womens Bay was retained. This request is an attempt to
address what some folks believe as pent up residential demand in the Womens Bay area and help
this area that has struggled to become Business to reach its maximum potential. During our
discussion last week the petitioner explained their desire for RR1, and we also heard from others

B) Case 08-017. Request an investigation of a rezone, according to KIBC 17.72.030.B (Manner
of Initiation) to consider the rezone of approximately 157 acres of land comprising the new
Ouzinkie Airport from C-Conservation to LI-Light Industrial; and
A two conditional use permits, per KIBC 17.27.040 and KIBC 17. 13.040.B (Conditional Uses) to
permit airport related uses as permitted uses in the LI-Light Industrial zoning district and to
provide an interim CUP for airstrip in the C-Conservation zoning district until the LI-Light
Industrial zone becomes effective.
Cassidy reported this is a rezone of property in Ouzinkie that will be the site of the future
Ouzinkie airport. The existing airport has problems, the location of the landfill is adjacent to the
airport, something not permitted to eliminate bird and plane conflicts, and there is a need for a
longer runway. Weare taking a number of actions at the request of DOT who wants to move
forward with the appraisal and property acquisition of the parcels. The first is a rezone of the area
from C-Conservation to LI-Light Industrial, but because this takes an additional two reading by
the Assembly, other actions are required. Secondly, two CUP's, one is an interim measure until
the zoning is approved by the Assembly. An airport is a conditional use in the Conservation
zone, and the other is to allow for all other airport uses (support business and uses). Staff
recommends approval of the rezone and the two conditional permits.
COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED TO RECOMMEND that the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly approve the rezoning of three parcels as generally identified by ADOT/PF, totaling
approximately 157 acres, from C-Conservation to LI-Light Industrial, and to adopt the "Findings
of Fact" in the staff report dated February 7,2008 in support of this recommendation. The
motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER JANZ.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 17.72.020 states that the Commission shall incorporate the following criteria into their
report to the Assembly:
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
The proposed rezone of the new Ouzinkie Airport from C-Conservation to LI--Light Industrial
is appropriate for the development of a new airport to serve the Ouzinkie community. The
rezone will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing airport and allow the expansion
of the airport to improve safety, increase capacity, and generally bring the new airport into full
compliance with all applicable FAA regulations pertaining to utility airports. After the zoning
February 20,2008
P & Z Commission Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 12
becomes effective, a single conditional use permit will allow all future airport related
development as a "use-by-right" that is eligible for "over-the-counter" zoning compliance
review. The proposed rezone will not create any nonconforming lots or uses.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives
of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed LI--Light Industrial zoning district is generally consistent with the objectives of
the 2007 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update and the incorporated Ouzinkie
Annex to that plan.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 6-0.
COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED TO GRANT a conditional use permit (CUP) in
accordance with KIBC 17.13 and 17.67 to allow the development of a new utility airport (as
defined in KIBC 17.06.014) to be located north ofOuzinkie on a site approximately 157 acres in
area, as generally described in the application materials submitted by the Alaska Department of
Transportation & Public Facilities, and to adopt the findings contained in the staff report dated
February 7, 2008 as FINDINGS OF FACT for this case.. The motion was SECONDED by
COMMISSIONER JANZ.

Regular session opened:
FINDINGS OF FACT (Applicable to both the C-Conservation and LI-Light Industrial zones
as indicated within)
1. That the conditional use will preserve the value spirit character and integritv of the
surrounding area.
The existing Ouzinkie Airport is a nonconforming land use located within the RI-Single-
family Residential zoning district. The airport needs to be substantially expanded and
rebuilt in order to me current ADOT &PF and FAA standards for utility airports. Moving
the airport farther away from the Ouzinkie Townsite will allow for the development of a
new utility airport which will not inhibit the future growth of the Ouzinkie community and
which will improve the safety of flight operations to and from the community.
The proposed airport is located in a largely undeveloped area so that airport generated
noise and traffic is less likely to be a nuisance to the majority of Ouzinkie residents. In
addition to the air traffic safety improvements, the new airport will provide greater
opportunity for airport related services to be developed which may also benefit the
community.
A conditional use permit (CUP) to allow a utility airport in the C-Conservation zoning
district will provide an interim approval to allow the airport project to move forward while
the CUP for the LI-Light Industrial zone is awaiting its effective date. The CUP for the LI-
Light Industrial zone is intended to provide for long term approval of future airport and
February 20,2008
P & Z Commission Meeting Minutes

airport related developments, essentially making them an "over-the-counter" permit
review. The LI-Light Industrial zone will establish adequate standards that are appropriate
for a utility airport and will ensure that the conditional use preserves the value, spirit,
character and integrity of the surrounding area.
2. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the
conditional use in question.
At the time the new utility airport project is reviewed for zoning compliance, whether the
site is zoned C-Conservation or LI-Light Industrial, ADOT&PF will be required to submit
a detailed site plan for review by borough staff. Staff will then ensure that the conditional
use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in
question as part of the zoning compliance review process.
3. That granting the conditional use -permit will not be harmful to the public health. safety.
convenience and comfort
The Ouzinkie Airport has been operating at its present location for many years. This
location is makes the use a non-conformity in the RI-Single-family Residential zoning
district. In addition, the location of the existing airport is not ideal for the needed increase
in runway length and safety related clearance zones. In addition, expanding the airport at
its current location may increase a conflict between air traffic and birds that are attracted to
the Ouzinkie landfill.
Granting the interim CUP in the C-Conservation zoning district, and the long-term CUP to
allow the new utility airport and all airport related uses in the LI-Light Industrial zoning
district, will benefit the public health, safety, convenience and conform by improving air
safety for traffic to and from the community. In addition, the new airport, located away
from the Ouzinkie Townsite, will allow more room for community growth and will
distance airport noise and traffic from the majority of community residents.
4. The 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 C-Conservation conservation zoning district has substantial setbacks and minimum lot
dimensions that can all be met based on the land status maps submitted by ADOT &PF.
While the LI--Light Industrial zoning district does not require setbacks from lot lines, in
this case the development of the airport will be required to meet ADOT &PF and FAA
standards which will ensure that sufficient setbacks, lot area buffer and other safeguards
are provided. The relocation of the airport farther north of the Ouzinkie Townsite ensures
that there will adequate land area for these standards to be accommodated in the design and
construction of the new airport.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 6-0.

CONDITION OF APPROVAL
1. The conditional use permit (CUP) does not become effective until the KIB Assembly
adopts an ordinance to change the zoning of the site to LI-Light Industrial.
FINDINGS OF FACT (Applicable to both the C-Conservation and LI-Light Industrial zones
as indicated within)

C) Case 03-010. A request for rezone, in accordance with KIBC 17.72.030 (Manner of
Initiation), of US Survey 4935, Lot 1 and Isthmus Bay Subdivision, Lot 2 from C-Conservation
and RR2-Rural Residential Two to RNC-Rural Neighborhood Commercial.
Cassidy reported this case was postponed pending the completion of the Comp Plan. It was
actually postponed twice. In your packet is a supplemental Memorandum for your consideration
on this case, and in it is a somewhat different recommendation. It results from discussions we
have had with the petitioner since the work session. The desire of the applicant is to remove the
lot line between the two parcels creating one larger 13 acre parcel, so instead of rezoning two
parcels you will be considering the rezoning of one parcel. Some of this had to do with access
issues with the two landlocked lots. Staff is concerned about this much Rural Neighborhood
Commercial land in the area especially since the desire of the community is for smaller scaled
business that will support the Chiniak community as well as provide opportunities for tourism to
take advantage ofChiniak's recreational and scenic attributes. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas have agreed to
February 20,2008
P & Z Commission Meeting Minutes
Page 7 of 12
a plat note that states that no future subdivision of the property will occur. Staff agrees that this
will help in keeping the Chiniak rural character. The downside is that a future Planning and
Zoning Commission can consider and reverse this plat note, but only after a public hearing. Staff
recommends approval of this rezone request subject to a number of conditions.
COMMISSIONER JANZ MOVED TO APPROVE the rezoning of Lots 1, U.S. Survey 4935
from C-Conservation to RNC-Rural Neighborhood Commercial and Lot 2, Isthmus Bay
Subdivision from RR2-Rural Residential Two to RNC-Rural Neighborhood Commercial and to
forward the request to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly for further review subject to the
following Effective Clauses. The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER WATKINS.
Regular session closed:
Public hearing opened:
Bob Brodie spoke in favor of the request but feels the plat note will be problematic to future
development.
Public hearing closed:
Regular session opened:
A brief discussion ofthe RNC zone and what the plat note provides.
John Lucas, applicant, stated he would like to rescind putting a plat note on.
COMMISSIONER W ATKINS MOVED to change Effective Clause #2 to read "The rezone
shall not become effective until a vacation and replat of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 4935 and Lot 2,
Isthmus Bay Subdivision is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission." The motion was
SECONDED by COMMISSIONER KERSCH.
The question was called on the amended motion, and it FAILED 3-3
EFFECTIVE CLAUSES
1 The rezone shall not become effective until the petitioner has acquired the necessary building
permits, zoning compliance permits and septic system approvals for all existing structures on
the parcel; and
2. The rezone shall not become effective until a vacation and replat of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 4935
and Lot 2, Isthmus Bay Subdivision is approved by the planning commission with a note
placed on the plat that states: "No further subdivision of this parcel shall occur" ;and
3. A rezone shall not become effective until a determination is made as to which structures on
Lot 1, U.S. Survey 4935 are considered "grandfathered" under Borough Ordinance 80-24-0.
This requires the petitioner to provide KIB with documentation that these structures existed
prior to June 5, 1980; and
4. A rezone shall not become effective until legal access to Lot 2, U.S. Survey 4935 is created
by plat or by recordable document.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 6-0.

COMMISSIONER JUENGER MOVED to adopt the following findings in support of the
decision for the rezone of Case 03-010. The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER
WATKINS.
FINDINGS OF FACT
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a change or amendment
The rezone to RNC-Rural Neighborhood Commercial is consistent with the communities' desire
to have small scaled commercial uses that will serve the Chiniak Community as well as
provide for a fledging tourism industry to take advantage of the recreational and scenic
qualities found in Chiniak.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Obiectives of
the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the express recommendations contained in the 2007
Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 6-0.
D) Case 03-011. Request a rezone, in accordance with KIBC 17.72.030 (Manner of Initiation),
of Larsen Bay Subdivision, Tract A, Block 1, Lots 1 - 3, Block 2, Lots 1, lA and 2 - 3, and
Block 3, Lots 1 & 2 from Rl - Single Family Residential to B-Business.
Cassidy reported we've had a flurry of phone calls, emails, and faxes on all the Larsen Bay
requests. We received a resolution by the City of Larsen Bay to postpone these cases until the
commission travels to Larsen Bay. This is a very big issue with the community for them to draft
this resolution. A lot has transpired since 2003 since these cases were postponed, and having a
meeting in or having staff travel to Larsen Bay makes since. Some of the property owners have
also changed. People living outside also want to participate. Staff included in the packet three
public hearing notices returned with comments: one has to do the view of an adjacent party, one
that has been submitted by the tribal council concerned about the historical significance of sites,
and one on issues like water meters, electrical meters, etc. Staff is recommending a postponement
of all Larsen Bay cases until there is a visit to the community.
COMMISSIONER JANZ MOVED TO POSTPONE action on Rezone Case 03-011 and
reschedule it for a public hearing on a date to be decided, and the hearing will be held at a
location to be announced. The motion was SECONDED by COMMISSIONER KERSCH.
