RESOLUTION NO. 84 -112 -R
A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY SEATED AS A BOARD
OF ADJUSTMENT AFFIRMING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
DENYING A REQUEST FOR AN EXCEPTION FROM SECTION 17.17.020 (PERMITTED USES) OF
THE BOROUGH CODE TO ALLOW THE EXCAVATION OF ROCK AND GRAVEL FROM A RURAL
RESIDENTIAL LOT.
WHEREAS, Arnold Tweten has appealed the decision by the Kodiak
Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission on Case 84 -083 a request for
rock removal on Lot 2, Block 3, Monashka Bay Alaska Subdivision, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the request for
an exception from Section 17.17.020 (Permitted Uses) of Kodiak Island Borough
Code to permit the extraction of approximately 90,000 cubic yards of rock
material from a rural residential lot at Lot 2, Block 3, Monashka Bay, Alaska
Subdivision, and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly sitting as the Board of
Adjustment at its November 1, 1984 regular meeting conducted an advertised and
noticed public hearing on the appeal request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
affirms the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny the
exception for the following reasons:
1. The request does not meet the conditions for granting an exception
in that it:
ATTEST:
A. Is inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the rural
residential zoning district, and
B. It will adversely impact other properties and uses in the neigh-
borhood. These adverse impacts include: excessive noise due to
blasting and rock removal on site, and a radical change in the
character of the neighborhood.
2. The proposal to remove large quantities of rock from this lot is not
the sole alternative to develop this lot,
3. The adverse public testimony, and
4. The applicant did not have a concrete development plan with a specific
figure for the amount of material to be removed.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 1st day of November , 1984.
