All ordinances and resolutions presented at this
meeting were introduced by title only and copies made
available to the public.
A. Ordinance No. 92 -24 Rezoning Lot 16A -2, U.S. ORDINANCE
Survey 3099 From RR -1- -Rural Residential One To NO. 92 -24
R- 2 - -Two- Family Residential. (Generally Located
Near the Intersection of spruce cape Road and
Benny Benson Drive)
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 92 -24
which, if adopted, rezoned the property consistent
with development trends in the area.
KIBS104918
Volume XVI
Page 3
Presiding Officer McFarland announced his conflict of
interest because his ownership of some property could
produce his financial gain by the outcome of the vote
on Ordinance No. 92 -24. He added that in the opinion
of Joel Bolger, Borough attorney, he should abstain.
After discussion, it was ruled there was a conflict
of interest, and he passed the gavel to Deputy
Presiding Officer Gould.
MONROE, moved to adopt
seconded by AUSTERMAN Ordinance No. 92 -24.
Mayor Selby deferred to Linda Freed, Community
Development Director, to give a staff report. She
reported that the rezone was for one single lot
currently zoned RR -1, which makes it non - conforming
as not meeting lot width requirements. It was
discovered that in 1976, the original lot was
subdivided in half and subsequently, Lot 16A was
divided as Lot 16A -1 and Lot 16A -2. Access to Lot
16A -2 was by a 20 foot easement across Lot 16A -1.
Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval.
Assemblymember Milligan remarked that the Planning
and Zoning Commission did not find an impact on
traffic patterns. He asked Director Freed to define
traffic limits.
Director Freed said that because roads are designed
for capacity traffic patterns, health and safety, and
land use, staff reviewed the impact and made the
recommendation to rezone.
Assemblymember Austerman asked whether the number of
residents in a structure could be limited.
Director Freed explained that the 35 foot height
restriction was the same for RR -1 and R -2 residences
but that R -2 zoning allowed double density of
residents. She stated that although the
comprehensive plan indicated the lot should be R -2,
Borough policy was to rezone at the request of a
property owner.
General discussion ensued with Director Freed
regarding development standards and spot zoning.
Deputy Presiding Officer Gould opened the public
hearing.
Bill Hinkle, 2376 Mission Road, opposed the rezone.
He thought the lot size was insufficient for an R -2
dwelling and subsequent increase in traffic. He
Regular Assembly Meeting

added that a change in the slope of the driveway
could cause water drainage problems.
Clerk Smith was asked to read a letter from Margaret
Emmons, Lot 1A USS 2843, where she stated she found
the rezone not acceptable for several reasons.
Bruce Beehler, 2350 Mission Road, had concerns about
the removal of the guardrail and increased traffic.
Asa Beehler explained that the property was
unclassified prior to subdivision by Glen Dick and
provided a history of the property. Although he no
longer resided in the area, he opposed the rezone
because it was not intended to be zoned R -2.
Jan Finlay, 2426 Spruce Cape Road, presented a video
of the property in question and addressed density and
accessibility as her opposition to the rezone.
Marcy Jones, owner of Lot 16B -2, requested the rezone
of her property because abutting properties were
zoned R -2. She added that she purchased the property
eleven years ago and constructed the driveway shortly
thereafter.
Kristina Hinkle reiterated comments of previous
speakers opposing the rezone. She suggested a public
park as good use of the lot.
okev- Chandler opposed rezone and suggested
condemnation of the land.
Glen Haldeman telephoned that he was of the opinion
that the area was overcrowded, the drive too steep
and the lot too small. He agreed that the property
should be condemned.
Dean Deater, excavation contractor employed by Mr. &
Mrs. Jones, reported harassment by neighbors. He was
doing the work according to specifications.
Dale Finlay, Lot 16B USS 3099, contended his view
would be ruined by the placement of a structure on
Lot 16A -2. He planned to appeal to the Borough for
de- evaluation of his property and a refund of his
property tax if the rezone passed. He contended that
an R -2 dwelling caused additional vehicles, parking
and traffic problems, and difficult access for
emergency vehicles. He asked for consideration of
the safety of the general public.
Assemblymember Milligan pointed out that R -1 zoning
was no less restrictive than the proposed RR -2 zoning.
Regular Assembly Meeting
December 3, 1992
KIBS104920
Volume XVI
Page 5
Dale Finlay responded that parking requirements for
R -2 zoning increased use of the driveway.
Ernie Mills, Kodiak resident since 1962, telephoned
to express his opinion that neighbors were primarily
interested in maintaining their view and could not be
legislated unless a covenant was placed on the
property. He favored the rezone.
Hugh Fleisher, attorney for the Finlays', Brunettes'
and Hinkles', presented their case and suggested the
powers of eminent domain were appropriate and the
assembly should take action for park land.
At Deputy Presiding Officer Gould's enforcement of
the five minute time limit, Mr. Fleisher cited
Borough Code 17.100.070 B in that it allowed a ten
minute time limit.
(Clerk's Note: The section of the code Mr. Fleisher
referred to was for Board of Adjustment appeal
hearings and not public hearing.)
Mr. Fleisher concluded that adoption of the ordinance
could initiate an appeal to superior court.
Scott Arndt, Fire Protection Area No. 1 Board
chairman, described a scenario of emergency vehicle
response to the lot in that a fire engine would
respond from Mission Road.
Deputy Presiding Officer Gould closed the public
hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. He asked
the Assembly to limit discussion to the motion to
rezone.
In response to a question by Assemblymember
Fitzjearl, Director Freed replied that the Planning
and Zoning Commission vote to recommend rezoning was
unanimous.
Assemblymember Monroe spoke to the rights of property
owners.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl determined that loss of view
was not an issue as building size would need to meet
criteria. She added that the rezone was the issue
before the Assembly.
Deputy Presiding Officer Gould explained that if the
property were zoned R - 2, administration would enforce
compliance for a two - family dwelling, and a variance
request would appear before the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

Assemblymember Hancock reiterated that the issue was
the rezone, although it was an emotional issue, and
entrusted the State to ensure that the driveway
access conformed.
Assemblymember Austerman stated that road access
concerns were not for the Assembly to address.
Assemblymember Milligan contended the Assembly had
the right to determine how much use of the access
should occur. He added that the adjoining property
owners had the zoning they wanted, which was R -2. He
felt zoning R -2 increased public congestion at the
bottom of a steep hill.
Assemblymember Austerman responded to Assemblymember
Milligan that there would be access to any building.
Assemblymember Milligan asserted that his vote
against R -2 zoning would be a vote for RR -1 zoning
and cautious development.

Property Tax.
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 92 -25
which, if adopted, amended Kodiak Island Borough Code
3.24 Revenue and Finance. Personal Property Tax by
clarifying assessments, penalties, and exemptions on
personal property tax.

KIBS104922
Volume XVI
Page 7
Mayor Selby reported that the ordinance changed four
aspects of personal property tax in the Borough Code,
all designed to assist taxpayers. He said changes
provided more accurate information to the Borough
Assessor, extended the filing deadline, reduced the
late payment penalty from ten percent to five percent
and deleted personal property tax on small rental
units not exceeding thirty -five percent of the total
living area in larger buildings.
Presiding Officer McFarland opened the public
hearing.
Okey Chandler expressed confusion at the intent of
the ordinance.
Presiding Officer McFarland suggested that Mr.
Chandler contact the Borough Assessor for a clearer
definition of the changes. He pointed out that the
changes alleviated some costs to the taxpayer.
At this point Marcy Jones complained that
Mr. Chandler was verbally abusive.
Presiding Officer McFarland directed Mr. Chandler to
refrain from discussion with Ms. Jones if he wished
to remain in the chambers.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl felt the ordinance was
beneficial to the public in that it lowered
penalties.
Presiding Officer McFarland closed the public hearing
and reconvened the regular meeting.
