Employee of the Month Mayor Jerome Selby presented the Employee of the Month award to Dan Millard, construction inspector /engineer in the Engineering /Facilities Department. CITIZEN COMMENTS A. Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing Robin Heinrichs reviewed points he presented at a previous meeting regarding Ordinance No. 92 -11 and saw none of the points addressed. He understood the City building inspector was concerned that enforcement would be difficult because the City and Borough were not adopting the same code. Mayor Selby commented on three proposed amendments and agreed that none addressed the issues raised by Mr. Heinrichs. He reported that the joint building committee and building officials recommended adoption of the uniform code as presented to ensure conformity with the City's building codes. He said that by early fall, staff would review and recommend changes to address issues raised. Mr. Heinrichs was asked to be available when Ordinance No. 92 -11 was discussed. Jon Aspgren, speaking as a Planning & Zoning Commissioner, building code reviewer, IBCO inspector, and local contractor, supported adoption of Ordinance No. 92 -11. He pointed out that each change was not for an individual but for the good of the community in that the UBC refers to the discretion of the building official. He said the 1991 code was different from the 1988 code in the fact that it was fine tuned in some areas concerning health and safety issues. Regular Assembly Meeting July 2, 1992 KIBS104778 AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH CITIZEN COMMENTS Volume XV Page 186 Scott Arndt felt Ordinance No. 92 -07 did not adequately address driveway access and corner clearances.

Items Other Than Those Appearing on the Agenda None. COMMITTEE REPORTS Robin Heinrichs, Planning and Zoning Commissioner, invited comments from the Assembly on items of concern to present to the Commission. PUBLIC HEARING None. MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR Mayor Selby informed the Assembly that Governor Hickel had signed the operating budget but not the capital budget.

He was advised that the reapportionment plan approved by the supreme court and opposed by the Borough was entering the next argument before the Department of Justice. He announced that Jeff Stephan met the June 30th deadline for submission of discussion on the IFQ issue and comments on the environmental impact statement.

OLD BUSINESS OLD BUSINESS A. Ordinance No. 92 -07 Amending Kodiak Island ORDINANCE Borough Code 17.57 (Off- Street Parking) to NO. 92 -07 Include Provisions Similar to Those Contained Within the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and to Require Corner Clearance for Driveway Access. Presented was Ordinance No. 92 -07 which, if adopted, amended Chapter 17.57 of the Kodiak Island Borough Code to define corner clearance for driveway access and provide for handicapped parking as required by the ADA. The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 92 -07 was before the Assembly. Linda Freed, Community Development Department Director, was asked what the consequences would be if there were 35' corner clearances. She explained that the figures used in the ordinance were consistent with State Department of Transportation standards and made Borough and State roads compatible. She said the measurement in the State standards were very explicit whereas, in the Borough code, it was not. She added that State roads had State driveway permits and, therefore, the only change was to Borough roads and City streets. Dan Millard, Engineering /Facilities Department construction inspector, was asked to address the rational for changes. He responded that it was to eliminate confusion and conflict between State and Borough standards, which could differ from one side of the block to the other. He explained that the goal was to utilize State standards to allow for continuity. He pointed out that different angles of an intersection caused different interruptions. He remarked that the change allowed time for a driver backing out of a driveway to react to traffic. He indicated that the controlling datum was that roads ta d-rd- have road shoulders and equate to State standards, and that distances do not necessarily change when applied, but in some cases can. He noted that safe access to the road was evaluated during driveway review. He pointed out there were non - regulated traffic areas within the Borough because of no police powers.

Fitzjeari noted that in his June 30, 1992 letter, Len Kimball, City building official, recommended postponing the ordinance until it was introduced to the City. KIBS104781 Volume XV Page 189 Mr. Kimball informed the Assembly that the ordinance would be presented to the City Council next week, and he felt it was not necessary to postpone adoption. He said the Joint Building Code Review Committee recommended deleting local contract ordinances and follow State statutes as the State has staff to regulate contract licensing.
