RESOLUTION NO. 84 - 63 -R
A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REVERSING AN
INTERPRETATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGARDING SAND, GRAVEL,
AND ROCK EXTRACTION.
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission at
their April 18, 1984 meeting made the following motion... "that any extracting
of sand, gravel, and rock from other than industrial areas requires an
exception from the Planning and Zoning Commission;" and
WHEREAS, this interpretation of Borough Code has been appealed to
the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has confirmed the
appointment of an ad hoc task force to address this issue; and
WHEREAS, the Borough has obtained attorney's opinions on several
aspects of this issue as well as reviewing the appeal record, information from
the "gravel extraction task force," and public testimony.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly hereby reverses the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission
for the following reasons:
Some site preparation including, sand, gravel, and rock extraction is
required for the development of virtually every lot in the Kodiak Island
Borough;
Z Sand, gravel, and rock extraction which is required for site development
of a use permitted in a zoning district is implicitly allowed in the
Borough Code;
3 Current regulations are adequate to protect neighbors and the community
against excessive sand, gravel, and rock extraction in residential and
commercial areas; and
' 4. The exception process places on undue burden on a private developer if
he meets all the other requirements of the Borough.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 7th day of June
