Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked Ms. Freed if the City
of Kodiak reviewed the ordinance. Ms. Freed replied
that the City had several opportunities to review the
ordinance and had made no formal comments either in
writing or at public hearing before the Commission.
Mayor Selby recommended postponement of final action
until March 7, 1991, to allow for the February 12,
1991, hearing with the Council and Commission and
joint work session with the Assembly and Council on
February 19, 1991.
The Presiding Office called for public hearing.
There being none, he reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember Gould suggested the City adopt an
appeal hearing process in their code that was
identical to the Borough's before March 7, 1991.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked Mayor Selby about the
City's present appeal process. Mayor Selby replied
that for legal purposes, the procedures need to be
identical. The Assembly was the hearing body under
Title 29 but can opt, by ordinance, to defer those
inside the City of Kodiak to the Council. He
reiterated it made it direct for both codes to be
identical for the hearing process.
Assemblymember Stevens opposed the ordinance because
he felt it appropriate the City be involved. He
suggested discussion with the City on consistent
legal council.

in Title 17 of the Kodiak island Borough Code. She

provision for exemption for the downtown core,
on

structural requirements of a new building,
parking space for new residential construction,

improvement from not only an enforcement standpoint
but practical standpoint as it addressed many issues
that come before the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Assemblymember Stevens asked for meanings of the
words "license" and "permit ". Ms. Freed said the
attorney provided the language to show that there was
authorization to use the parking by the property
owner to the person using the property if they were
not the property owner. Joel Bolger, Borough
attorney, clarified that a license or permit was a
legal definition for a type of land use and
considered more limited than an easement or lease.
At Assemblymember Gould's request, Mr. Bolger defined
"long- term" as a lease or easement for a period of
five years or more.

Linda Freed, Director of the Community Development
Department of the Kodiak Island Borough, read from
Section 17.80.030 (e) (1) of the Kodiak Island
Borough Code which states that the Borough staff
would present the decision being appealed and the
evidence and findings relied on by the Planning &
Zoning Commission in reaching their decision. The
decision being appealed was the granting of an
exception from Section 17.18.020 of the Borough Code
to permit a fourteen foot by forty -six foot addition
to an existing non - conforming repair shop located in
the R- 1-- Single Family Residential District, Lot 23B,
U.S. Survey 3099, 2657 Metrokin Way, owned by Mr.
Wayne Coleman.
The Planning & Zoning Commission granted this request
on October 17, 1990, subject to several conditions
which are: (1) The expansion of the existing non-
conforming commercial land use on Lot 23B will be
subject to the applicant meeting the requirements for
a commercial use as set forth in Chapter 17.21
(Business District) and Chapter 17.57 (Off- Street
Parking) of the Borough Code. (2) The applicant
must submit a parking plan to the Community
Development Department for review and approval prior
to the issuance of zoning compliance which
specifically shows the relocation of the existing
parking in front of the structure to a location
wholly on the lot and show that adequate off - street
parking is available on the lot for the expanded
commercial use. (3) A screening plan for Lot 23B
will be submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission
for review and approval prior to construction of the
proposed addition to the existing commercial land
use.
Bruce Barrett, Planning & Zoning Commission
representative, pointed out that thirty -four public
hearing notices were mailed and only two returned
voicing opposition. At the October 17, 1990, public
meeting, after no public testimony was received in
opposition, the Commission approved the request by
Mr. Wayne Coleman unanimously. He stated one letter
in opposition addressed the parking concern and the
other letter addressed the detraction from the
business to an associated private residence. He
reiterated the unanimous decision was based on three
conditions before approval, which addressed the

the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly said anything
legal or illegal as of this date can continue as it
currently is subject to Section 17.36, but if that
business was grandfathered without adequate parking,
they do not have to provide additional parking unless
they come before the Planning & Zoning Commission to
request some change to the non - conforming use. She
used as an example many homes in Kodiak that were
built without the required parking spaces yet, unless
they request some significant change to that
property, they do not have to provide the required
off - street parking.
Presiding Officer McFarland requested notices on the
screening issue be sent to those parties interested
and copies of the parking plan be provided to those
parties interested.

express his elation about being in Kodiak on Thursday
evening to celebrate the first Governor's Ball of
1991, which was also the charter Governor's Bali in
Kodiak. He remembered that Thursday, January 3, was
the anniversary of Alaska becoming a state. The
Governor asked Mr. Fisk to tell the Assembly he was
over - impressed with Kodiak. Mr. Fisk asked the
Assembly to pass a resolution commending those
organizations that made the balls happen.
Wayne Coleman appreciated the Assembly's
consideration on the appeal and thought it was a very
good information process.
ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS
Assemblymember Milligan commended Mr. Fisk for his
participation in bringing the Governor here. He
encouraged the public to come forth with positive
recommendations, especially in the area of fisheries.
He hoped the public's thoughts and prayers were for
peace in the Mid -East.
Assemblymember Hancock agreed with Mr. Fisk that
there should be a resolution thanking the
organizations, Mr. Bishop, and Mr. Fisk because it
was a great opportunity for the Assembly to talk with
the commissioners and Mr. Tillion. She believed a
taxation policy was a step in the right direction.
Assemblymember Stevens wished Presiding Officer
McFarland a happy birthday. He commented on the
newspaper's article that led one to believe the city
had its own plans for their lobbyist which did not
include the joint CIP list. He asked the Mayor to
comment on the status of city lobbyist, Mr.
Austerman. Mayor Selby had discussed it with Mayor
Brodie, who indicated their instructions were for the
lobbyist's agenda to be the seven items on the joint
city /borough CIP list: hospital, Mill Bay Road,
water plant, new school, etc. He had spoken with the
borough's lobbyist, Mr. Garzini, who indicated he
would be meeting with Mr. Austerman during the SWAMC
session. He was working very hard on a joint effort
on communication for the population of the Island.

Assemblymembers discussed a comprehensive tax plan
and how it related to the budget process.
VOTE ON MOTION TO POSTPONE
MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl responded to a letter from
Ray Camardella in which he suggested a maintenance
management system for all borough -owned buildings,
including schools, apartments, grounds and suggested
it be placed on a future work session when it was
ready to be presented to the Assembly. She asked the
Mayor to explain the request for proposal for
modification to the high school. He explained the
school board had identified a four -phase modification
to the high school, and the Assembly had indicated
that because of a "timeframe, the RFP should be
advertised. There was no commitment to the Borough
to do anything other than accept and review the RFPs
at this time. She thanked Jim Fisk, American Legion,
American Legion Auxiliary, VFW, VFW Auxiliary, Elks,
Emblem, and Bill Bishop for the successful Governor's
Ball.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked to have the following
statement read into the record: "Unless you were
born and raised in Kodiak, you and I came here for
various reasons. We didn't come to Kodiak to change
the people but rather to be a part of them. When we
get elected to public office or get hired as staff to
work for the public, we should remember this.
Changes in the codes should not be done to suit a few
but rather should be done to accommodate growth and
changes. The codes were originally written by people
who formed the future of this community. Now we
seem to be changing and bending the codes to fit a
particular need. Let's be cautious in what we do
regarding changing codes. After all, we should be
government of the people, by the people and for the
people not government of a few, by a few and for a
few. Also, along with that goes the State Statutes
versus Borough Codes. We should abide by the codes,
if we have them; in the absence of the codes then we
go by the Statutes." She emphasized this statement
was her personal opinion.
Assemblymember Gould complimented Marcia Bell for the
employee of the ulvnth and congratulated City Mayor,
Bob Brodie, and wife, Joanne, on the birth of their
daughter.
Presiding Officer McFarland supported the assembly's
comments.
