He said the council discussed advising the assembly to support the House Joint Resolution 32 and Senate Joint Resolu- tion 11 urging the governor to contact the president of the United States to stop any oil and gas exploratory activity in Bristol Bay. Also, he noted that after attending several organizational meetings where the oil spill clean up was discussed, there was a need for an Exxon representative to explain Exxon's clean up program and their reimbursement policy for fisherman. Jon Hartt, Planning and Zoning Commission member, noted he would be available to answer questions. A. Appointment to Service District 01 Board of Supervisors.

Tom Klinkner, representative of the law firm of Wolforth, Argetsinger, Johnson, and Brecht, Kodiak Island Borough's bond counsel, noted that he was available to answer questions from the assembly. Assemblymember Barker said she understood this ordinance authorized the enactment of this type of bond sale and not actually authorized the sale of bonds. Mayor Selby said Assemblymember Barker was correct and the resale of the bonds was not being proposed at this time. Mr. Klinkner explained the changes in the substituted ordinance at Assemblyman Austerman's request. The presiding officer closed the public testimony and reconvened the assembly.

AUSTERMAN, moved to adopt Emergency seconded by MERRIMAN Ordinance No. 89 -14 -0. The presiding officer called for public testimony; there being none, the assembly was reconvened. Mayor Selby explained the ordinance was introduced to allow the borough to deal with the $500,000 grant from the Alaska Depart- ment of Conservation. He said there was a Memorandum of Agree- ment between the DEC and the Kodiak Island Borough, and listed the specific items allowed within the agreement as protective boom deployment, spill tracking and reconnaissance, beach surveillance and establishing shoreline baseline information. He pointed out the request to waive the borough's standard purchasing requirements. The Emergency Management Council comprised of city of Kodiak's mayor and manager, the borough mayor, and the Commander of the Coast Guard Center would make the decisions regarding the dispersal of the money. The borough would issue the purchase orders, checks, etc., as well as keeping the accounting, he added. A discussion followed between the mayor and assemblymembers. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Merriman, Parker, Stevens Austerman, Barker, White Noes: None MOTION CARRIED Unanimous The presiding officer recessed the assembly and convened the Board of Adjustment. Presiding Officer White, declaring a conflict of interest, passed the gavel to Assemblymember Barker. BOARD OP AMISS/0M BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT An appeal of a Planning and Zoning Commission decision to affirm CHARLES HOLLISTER an administrative decision and order to discontinue the unlawful APPEAL use of lam (maintaining a junk yard in a B--Business Zoning District) and removal of all items classified as junk by September 1, 1989; and Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of a request for relief from the Administrative Decision in the form of an exception from Section 17.21.020 (Permitted Use) of the Borough Code to permit the operation of a salvage yard in a B--Business Zoning District. Got 2, Tract a, Russian Creek .Alaska Subdivision; (Charles Hollister - 893 Panamaroff Creek Drive) April 6, 1989 Page 54 EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 89 -14 -0 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting Linda Freed, Community Development Director, referred the assembly BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT to portions of their appeal packet rather than reading the lengthy findings which were adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. She referred to the pages of the P62 minutes of February 15, 1989 CHARLES HOLGTSTER which pertained to the appeal and stated the case was initiated APPEAL (co Id) by a citizen's complaint and followed by borough enforcement action. This enforcement administrative decision was appealed to the P&Z Commission. She stated the P62 Commission did affirm the administrative decision that the junk yard located on Lot 2, Track N, Russian Creek Alaska Subdivision, was an unlawful use of land and all items of junk and scrap salvage must be removed by September 1, 1989. Ms. Freed read the summary of the findings of the P82 Commission on their reasons for upholding the administrative decision as follows: "It is clear to the Commission that use of Lot 2, Tract N, Russian Creek Alaska Subdivision, for auto salvage, bulk petroleum storage, and trailer fabrication are industrial uses and as such are prohibited uses in the 8-- Business Zoning District. There may be other uses taking place on the property which are inconsistent with the Zoning Code, however, the examples noted are the most obvious and incompatible with the environment and surrounding property. Concerning the requirement to abate these violations by September 1, 1989, the Commission feels this is more than adequate if a concerted effort to clean up the property were put forth by the property owner. If the abatement period were to begin on February 15, 1989, the appellant would have until September 1, 1989 to clear the property of all junk and scrap salvage material. The weather should become less of a factor as time goes on and there are some items that could be moved off site and disposed of without a forklift in any event. She added the applicant had asked for relief in the form of an exception if the administrative decision was upheld, and stated the PBZ Commission denied the request to grant an exception. Specifically, she said the Commission found that the proposed use in the application even with appropriated conditions or restrictions, would (A) endanger the public's health, safety, or general welfare, (B) be inconsistent with the general purposes and intent of this title, and (C) adversely impact other properties or uses in the neighborhood. A discussion was held among the assemblymembers and Linda Freed. Elena White, resident in the Women's Bay area, said she hoped the assembly would uphold the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision. She said the P62 Commission's decision was consistent with the administration's decision and the neighborhood property owners' position. She distributed a map with the lots of property owners who had written letters opposing a junk yard or salvage yard circled in red. She pointed out that most of the property owners opposed industrial use such as a junk yard on this lot. The appellant, Charles Hollister, failed to appear in defense of his appeal. The presiding officer closed the public testimony and reconvened the Board of Adjustment. PARKER, seconded by STEVENS moved to uphold the decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission. VOTE ON MOTION Ayes: Parker, Stevens, Austerman, Barker, Merriman Noes: None Abstain: White MOTION CARRIED 5 Ayes, 1 Abstention April 6, 1989 Page 55 KIBS103839 KIBS103840 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting AUSTERNAN, seconded by STEVENS moved to adopt the Planning and Zoning Commission's Findings of Fact of February 15, 1989 as follows: This case originates from a citizen's complaint about the outdoor storage of junk and scrap in a B -- Business Zoning District. Following investigation of the complaint, and several attempts to resolve the issue directly with the property owner, the enforce- ment officer issued an administrative decision ordering disconr tinuation of the unlawful land use (maintaining a junkyard) and ordered removal of all junk and scrap items within seventy -five (75) days. According to a summary statement compiled by the enforcement officer and signed by the appellant, the following points constitute the basis upon which this appeal is based. The appellant asserts that this operation is not a junkyard but a lawful business use of the land (auto body repair, trailer repair and fabrication, and metal recycling). The appellant further asserts that seventy -five (75) days is not a reasonable length of time in which to clean up the property. The appellant has further requested that if the operation is determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission to be a "Junkyard" relief be granted by the approval of an exception from Section 17.21.020 (Permitted Uses) of the Borough Code to permit the operation of a salvage yard in a B -- Business Zoning District. The Commission has reviewed the case file compiled by the enforcement officer. After reviewing file photographs and conducting an on -site investigation, the Commission feels that most of the items of outdoor storage on the property meet the definition of junk and scrap that is provided in Section 17.06.340 of the Borough Code, which states: 17.06.340 Junkyard. "Junk yard" means any space one hundred square feet or more of any lot or parcel of land used for the storage, keeping or abandonment of junk or waste material including scrap metals or other scrap materials, or for the dismantling, demolition or abandonment of automobiles, other vehicles, machinery or any parts thereof. The property owner has asserted that the use of the property for auto body repair is a lawful use of land in the B -- Business Zoning District. This is true. For example, car dealers in the Kodiak Central Business District also do auto body repair. The difference is, most auto body repair businesses do not use parts which are salvaged from spare vehicles being stored on the property for that purpose. The practice of maintaining vehicles for salvage is clearly indicated within the Borough's definition of what constitutes a junkyard. As Section 17.36.080 of the Borough Code states, a junkyard in any district other than the I-- Industrial Zoning District is considered to be a public nuisance. Whether other businesses located in the a -- Business Zoning District may or may not be using land for similar purposes as the appellant is not really the issue here. The use of B -- Business property to stockpile vehicles for salvage clearly falls under the Borough Code's definition of "junkyard" (17.06.340). Unless an exception has been approved for the other properties indicated by the appellant, which permits vehicle salvage operations, those property owners would also be in violation of the Borough Zoning Code and subject to enforcement proceedings. (The enforcement officer has indicated that case files exist for most if not all of the businesses cited as examples.) April 6, 1989 Page 56 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT CHARLES HOLLISTER APPEAL (continued) Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting In addition to the vehicle salvage taking place on the property, the enforcement officer has documented approximately thirty -three drums (55 gallons each) stored outside on the property which the property owner has indicated contain waste oil for heating, or CHARLES HOLLISTER other similar petroleum products. Photographic evidence indi- APPEAL (cor/ d) cates that this condition has existed since at least July, 1986. r A previous enforcement officer at that time documented the fact that some of these containers had apparently leaked or otherwise contaminated the site as there were indications that petroleum products had soaked into the ground in that area. The storage of petroleum products in bulk is not a permitted use in the B -- Business Zoning District. This use is permitted only in the I-- Industrial Zoning District as a conditional use, and most likely would only be permitted when it was assured that these products would be handled in such a way as to eliminate any contamination of the subject property. The appellant has also asserted that another use of the property includes the fabrication of trailers. This use is not consistent with Section 17.21.O1OC, of the Borough Code which states the intention of the B -- Business Zoning District: To prohibit the use of business district lands for manufacturing and industrial purposes. It is clear to the Commission that use of Lot 2, Tract N, Russian Creek Alaska Subdivision, for auto sal age, bulk petroleum storage, and trailer fabrication are industrial uses and as such are prohibited uses in the B -- Business Zoning District. There may be other uses taking place on the property which are incon- sistent with the Zoning Code, however the examples noted are the most obvious and incompatible with the environment and surround- ing property. Concerning the requirement to abate these violations by September 1, 1989, the Commission feels this is more than adequate if a concerted effort to clean up the property were put forth by the property owner. If the abatement period were to begin on February 15, 1989, the appellant would have until September 1, 1989 to clear the property of all junk and scrap salvage material. The weather should become less of a factor as time goes on and there are some items that could be moved off site and disposed of without a forklift in any event. EXCEPTION REQUEST FINDINGS OF FACT That the use as proposed in the application, or under appropriate conditions or restrictions, will not (A) endanger the public's health, safety or general welfare, (8) be inconsistent with the general purposes and intent of this title and (C) adversely impact other properties or uses in the neighborhood. It appears that the proposed use, may endanger the public's health, safety or general welfare because industrial land uses (e.g., junkyards, scrap salvage, trailer fabrication, bulk fuel storage) have the potential to detract from the use of the land and adjoining properties for residential and business purposes. April 6, 1989 Page 57 KIBS103841 This is evidenced by the complaints already received regarding the storage of junk vehicles and scrap materials. Methods of limiting these potential land use conflicts can include, but are not limited to, screening, limits on the land area to be used for the activity, or time limits on the length of time the proposed activity is allowed. Conditions, such as those above, may address concerns about the appearance of outdoor storage in the form of junk and scrap salvage and thereby preserve the public's welfare. However, the storage of bulk petroleum and /or waste oil, constitutes a clear and present danger to the environment, as well as the public's health, safety and general welfare. the only way that this situation can be adequately addressed would be to require the site to be cleaned up properly, to include the removal and proper disposal of all stored petro- BOARD OF ADJUSTMEET KIBS103842 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting Ayes: leum products and contaminated soil on the site. Then, future storage of petroleum products on the site should only be permitted after improvements had been made which would be commensurate with those normally required by conditional use permit in the I-- Industrial Zoning District. In addition, a finding that the use of land would present no danger to the nearby residential areas, wither by accidental release of petroleum on site, or as a result of fire, would have to be made prior to approval of this type of land use. The proposed use will be inconsistent with the general purposes and intent of Chapter 17 . 2 1.010(Description and Intent) of the B -- Business Zoning District. Section 17.03.080 specifies that uses not listed as a permitted uses are prohibited. Junkyards, scrap salvage and outdoor storage of bulk petroleum products are not listed as permitted uses in the B-- Business Zoning District. The description and intent of the B -- Business Zoning District, Section 17.21.010, is to encourage the continued use and development of land for retail purposes; to discourage the use of business district lands for other than retail purposes; to prohibit the use of business district lands for manufacturing and industrial purposes; and to encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that are not permitted under the provisions of this chapter. The applicant's exception request is not consistent with the description and intent of the B -- Business Zoning District. The uses proposed are industrial in nature and not appropriate for development in the B -- Business Zoning District or in the vicinity of existing residential developments in the area. An appropriate option would be to investigate the rezone of the site to the I-- Industrial Zoning District classification which is the only zoning district that permits the land uses desired by the applicant. The proposed use could potentially have adverse impacts on other properties in the area. In addition to the potential land use conflicts between the requested industrial land uses and the existing /potential residential and business land uses (e.g. noise, traffic. hours of operation, etc.) granting this exception will set a precedent for changing the use of the B-- Business Zoning District. This is espe- cially true given the existence of the current uses already taking place on the property. This exception, if approved, will allow what are essentially industrial use of the surrounding B -- Business zoned land may also be of an industrial nature. If the Commission feels this is legiti- mate impression to give to the public then at some point the property should be investigated for possible rezoning.

April 6, 1989 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT CHARLES HOLLISTER APPEAL (continued) Page 58 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting MESSAGES PROM Mt 11090-® MAYOR MESSAGES FROM MAYOR Mayor Selby stated the borough had just received a Memorandum of Agreement from Exxon for $500,000 and requested the assembly to reconsider Emergency Ordinance No. 89 -14-0 so this Memorandum of Agreement could be included. He said that during the last five days the Emergency Management Council had been active trying to mobilize and prepare Kodiak to avoid as much damage as possible should the Exxon oil spill in Prince William Sound hit Kodiak Island. Mayor Selby reported on the preparation taking place. Robert Brodie, mayor of the city of Kodiak, updated the assembly on the most recent actions taken in the local area to thwart the effects of the oil and the preventative measures being used to protect the fish hatcheries. A discussion followed among the assembly and Mayor Brodie and Mayor Selby. Assemblyman Stevens commended Mayor Selby, Mayor Brodie, Sim Ramaglia, Gordon Gould, and Captain Blackett for heading up the Emergency Management Council and said it meant a lot to have such dedicated community leaders. Mayor Selby proclaimed the week of April 9 -15, 1989 as National Library Week in Kodiak and presented Barbara Audio with the proclamation.

She said she was encouraged for Kodiak after looking at the latest map and asked if it might be conceivable that the oil might become heavier, sink, and not move a great distance. Assemblyman White declared it was good to have the team in place and working. He said it was important for Kodiak to have a focal point where the community could go to express their concerns. He said preparation for a "worst case" scenario was good because he had seen the atmosphere change with everyone working together as one unit to attack a common enemy. He described the destruction in Prince William Sound as incredible and very demoralizing to those individuals who had seen it.
