Deputy Clerk
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -80 -R
A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY AFFIRMING THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DECISION CONCERNING A REQUEST FOR AN EXCEPTION
TO ALLOW A DUPLEX TO REMAIN IN AN RR1 DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, Mark White has appealed the decision to the Kodiak Island
Borough Assembly, and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly sitting as the Board of
Adjustment heard the appeal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
that the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission is affirmed for the
following reasons:
A. The proposed use will endanger the public's health, safety, or
general welfare, as the duplex will increase the permitted density
of the lot by a factor of two. Additionally, no permits have been
issued or inspections performed for the conversion to a duplex to
ensure compliance with building and fire codes.
B. The proposed use will be inconsistent with the general purposes and
intent of Title 17 and with the specific description and intent of
Chapter 17.17, the RR1, Rural Residential District.
C. The proposed use could potentially adversely impact other properties
in the area. Granting this exception will set a precedent for chang-
ing the use, density, and expected lifestyle (i.e., large lot, low -
density, single- family residential) of the subdivision and the RR1
zoning district.
