REPORTS Meeting schedule: • August 11, 2009 P&R meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the KIB School District Conference Room • September 8, 2009 P&R meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the KIB School District Conference Room Discussion on people shooting guns in inappropriate places in the borough. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER asked for clarification because he was told that Natural Use area does not preclude the use of motorized vehicles, and is there an ordinance about shooting in the borough. During discussion on shooting, it was the consensus to invite KISA, the Coast Guard, Wal -Mart, Mack's, and Cy's to the September llth meeting to help come up with a solution for these safety issues. Staff was directed to send state and borough codes and regulations on shooting to the committee so they can read them between now and the August 11` meeting, provide hard copies at the meeting, and send links to those codes and regulations to the members who won't be able to attend the August meeting. 2 VICE CHAIR FOREMAN reminded the committee that they will go back to 2 meetings a month starting in September. AUDIENCE COMMENTS There were no audience comments. COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY asked Dvorak if the Koniag cabins in Karluk were approved because he heard they were being built. Casey Janz stated it was denied but they are making some changes to their building plan and are working with Dvorak and Cassidy. Dvorak said I flew to Sitkinak, Tugidak, and a few other places. We flew over the Karluk area where I seen only platforms and didn't see any ongoing activity so it looked like they stopped construction. They have 1 zoning compliance permit already and they have changed their floor plan to put a passage through so it's not a 2 part cabin anymore. They put in a door so it's 1 unit with 1 kitchen now. They got a waiver on another site today that they're eligible for, and they are paying the after the fact fees which are double. Because their property was granted as 1 big parcel under ANCSA they can't get more than 1 cabin at a time without doing some sort of subdivision so they are looking to do waiver subdivisions for 5 acre parcels for each one of their cabins. Based on their willingness to change their floor plan there's no reason why they can't get a zoning compliance for every 5 acre parcel that they have a cabin on. They have 1 big 12,000 acre parcel right now. COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERSICH said I am glad we started talking about this wild behavior. COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST said I will not be here in August maybe and requests to be excused if I am not here. ADJOURNMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERSICH MOVED to adjourn.
