REPORTS
Assemblymember McFarland attended Alaska Municipal
League (AML) meetings in Juneau. As the President of
the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC), he
reported that several fisheries - related resolutions
were submitted to AML. He said all sessions were
excellent, and he had an opportunity to hear Drew
Pearce speak.
Deputy Presiding Officer Milligan also attended AML.
He felt the annual meeting was for policies and that
IFQ's were divisive. He announced that Fran Ulmer,
Lieutenant Governor - elect, presented the AML
Outstanding Contribution Award to Mayor Selby.
All ordinances and resolutions presented at this
meeting were introduced by title only and copies made
available to the public.

Mayor Selby said the ordinance corrected an oversite
in the code to clarify specific uses in the business
zoning district.
At questions raised by Assemblymember Burt, Mayor
Selby deferred to Linda Freed, Community Development
Department Director. Director Freed clarified that
the code outlined that not more than fifty percent of
the structure could be used as residential. She said
the intent was to ensure that business was the
primary use of the property.
Deputy Presiding Officer Milligan called for public
testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the
regular meeting.
There was no discussion by the Assembly.

B. Ordinance No. 94 -25 Rezoning All City -owned ORDINANCE
Uplands and Tidelands in Pearson Cove IQ NU -- NO. 94 -25
Natural Use Land.
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 94 -25
that, if adopted, rezoned Pearson Cove property to
allow the City of Kodiak to accomplish its long
stated goal of developing a public park.
McFARLAND, moved to adopt
seconded by STEVENS Ordinance No. 94 -25.
Mayor Selby said rezone of the property to natural
use was more appropriate because the City of Kodiak
designated the area for park development.
Assemblymember Austerman favored the rezone but was
concerned with potential liability if there was an
implication to condemn or restrict the use of
industrial property in the area. He referred to the
last sentence in Section 3, paragraph A of the
. —me xIx
?tie 110
)
findings of fact that did not reference industrial
property.
Mayor Selby deferred to Linda Freed, Community
Development Department Director. Director Freed
stated she did not believe the Planning and Zoning
Commission intended to ignore the industrial zoned
property when completing the findings of fact. She
felt the Commission's intent was to have the findings
clearly apply just to City -owned tidelands and
uplands in Pearson Cove.
At questions raised by Assemblymember Austerman,
Director Freed clarified that the City requested a
conditional use permit (CUP) to allow for a park.
She added that the Commission approved the CUP and
that findings of fact supporting the CUP specifically
addressed industrial zoned property.
At further questions from Assemblymember Austerman,
Director Freed stated she did not believe the
Commission addressed the fact that the site plan
drawn by the City provided access through privately
owned industrial property. She stated that the site
plan prepared by the City indicated access through
both residential and industrial zoned property. She
said there was no other information on how the City
would develop the park. She noted Commission
discussion on the rezone regarding a residential
property owner allowing access across his property
from Father Herman Street.
Assemblymember Austerman thought there was an
indication that access would be from Tagura Road. At
further questions, Director Freed stated it was a
conceptual design that exhibited a projected
development on the site. She understood the City
could not develop private property without consent of
the property owner. She said the City would have to
present a specific site plan prior to development.
Assemblymember McFarland agreed there was a need to
perfect the language in Section 3, paragraph A of the
findings of fact. He cautioned the Assembly of the
need to stay within the confines of the rezone issue.
Deputy Presiding Officer Milligan opened the public
hearing.
Kathy Colwell, City Councilmember, said the Council
unanimously favored the rezone as presented. She
said the Council felt natural use zoning would
protect the natural environment yet allow residential
use through a conditional use permit for a park.

Assemblymember McFarland stated there was no
amendment before the Assembly.
Pat Holmes spoke in favor of the rezone and felt the
last sentence could be read either way. He referred
to maps in the chambers and said that residents had a
pride of ownership and participation in the park.
Marva Nault, Pearson Cove /Mission Road Community
Association spokesperson, said that because over 50
people responded in favor of the rezone, residents
were clear on their desire for a public park. She
did not favor any change in language.
At Assemblymember Stevens' inquiry, Ms. Nault stated
she did not feel the rezone would impact the adjacent
parcel P -19 that was zoned industrial.
Guy Powell, 30 year resident in the area, urged the
Assembly to adopt Ordinance No. 94 -25 without
amendments. He felt the rezone was of benefit to the
community as a whole.
Tom Walters, Kodiak City Councilmember, agreed with
the comments of Councilmember Colwell. He said
Pearson Cove residents may not want parcel P -19
developed but that had no impact on the rezone. He
said the park was planned for over 18 years.
Scott Garoutte, 20 year resident in the area, heard
of plans for the park 36 years ago when his first
grade teacher, Verna McFarland, spoke of it.
Joe Macinko supported adoption of the ordinance
without amendments.
Assemblymember Austerman clarified that the Assembly
did not disapprove of the park but there was a need
to protect the Borough.
Darcy Holt felt written comments of community members
deserved attention.
Dan Oaq, owner of parcel P -19, shared information
regarding his plans for development. He said he
supported the rezone but felt language to protect
property owners adjacent to the park was needed. He
thought access to the park was across his property
and suggested postponing the ordinance to correct the
site plan and protect property owners.
Charles Holt said the plan was conceptual and the
rezone did not effect parcel P -19.

Bill Guv said pedestrian access across parcel P -19
was not indicated.
Guy Powell wanted the facts about access clarified.
Assemblymember McFarland said it was appropriate to
stay on track and only discuss the rezone issue.
Mayor Selby clarified that the conditional use permit
was for the City -owned property only and did not
affect private property.
Assemblymember Hancock referred to an old site plan
that indicated pedestrian access across parcel P -19.
Matt Holmstrom, City of Kodiak engineer, said the
conceptual plans for Pearson Cove Park were started
in 1991. He noted the initial site plan did suggest
pedestrian access across parcel P -19; however, a
proposed trade for use of the property in exchange
for rock fill was not approved because of the cost.
He said the City was negotiating with another
property owner for access.
Tony Chatto suggested deleting the last sentence in
Section 3, Paragraph A as it did not reference
industrial property.
Mike Haaaren favored the rezone and was attempting to
figure the best pedestrian access across his
property. He said he was opposed to Mr. Ogg's
development with or without the rezone.
Deputy Presiding Officer Milligan closed the public
hearing and reconvened the regular meeting.
McFARLAND,
seconded by AUSTERMAN
Regular Assembly Meeting
November 22, 1994

Ordinance No. 94 -25
Section 3, Paragraph A
to read as follows:
"While the property has
been zoned industrial

many years, the City of
Kodiak has indicated a
desire to accommodate
the concerns of the
neighborhood by
pursuing development of
a park in this area.
This rezone is needed
and justified in order
to allow for the future
development of the area

MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR MESSAGES FROM
MAYOR
Mayor Selby attended AML meetings in Juneau. He said
it was significant that a proposal was advanced to
the legislature to restructure municipal assistance
revenue sharing to create the new Alaska Basic
Municipal Services Program. He said the Program,
designed to show exactly what municipalities spent
funds on, clarified the importance of continued
funding. He said resolutions dealing with renewal
and reauthorization of the Magnusen Act, unfunded
federal mandates and State mandates,, and the new
Payment -in -Lieu of Tax Program were adopted. He said
it was also significant that the AML adopted a
recommendation urging the governor and legislature to
invest State funds into natural resource development
that would bring jobs and revenues back to Alaska.
Volume XIX
Page 114
He was advised by Alaska Marine Highway System staff
that the additional $10 million needed for the new
ocean -going ferry was funded. He clarified that $3
million from the federal government to refurbish the
Tustumena resulted in the State moving $3 million
from refurbishment funds and $7 million from federal
highway funds to the capital construction account;
therefore, the $85 million needed to fully fund
construction of the new ferry was in place. He
anticipated the process to start the first of 1995
with a projected three -year completion date.
He announced that the eight joint Borough /City park
projects remained on the improvement list. He said
$8 million in Exxon Valdez criminal settlement funds
were appropriated for park improvement and credited
Linda Freed and the City Parks and Recreation
Committee for submitting the projects to the State.
He said there was a potential $1 million reserve for
weir site acquisition in the event the Trustee
Council did not purchase the sites. He said it was
important for the State to control weir sites because
of the cost of site leases and employees.
He stated the Borough was working with the Department
of Environmental Conservation on expanding the
asbestos site at the landfill by 22,000 square feet.
He said the site was filled by asbestos from the
Coast Guard base.
He said the permit from the Corps of Engineers for
the Anton Larson floating dock project was close at
hand. He noted an interest by the State of Alaska,
Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish
to provide $200,000 for parking areas to eliminate
congestion around the ramp.
He announced that the requests for proposal to
excavate 365 drums of asphalt and oil from the
Russian River area were out.
He said there was a request to the State for $130,000
to improve Otmeloi Way from Rezanof Drive to Mallard
Way, which would be the primary access for Northstar
Elementary School. He noted that water and sewer
work could be completed at the same time. He said
that since the State requested the Borough take
responsibility for maintenance once improvements were
made, the Service District No. 1 Board was reviewing
for preparation of a recommendation.
He said preliminary design of the Anton Larson Road
extension was complete and meetings scheduled with
Regular Assembly Meeting

property owners. He said the estimated cost to
complete the extension was $2 million.
He extended condolences to the family of Patricia
Eads in their time of loss. Ms. Eads was a former
Borough employee.
He wished all a happy Thanksgiving.
Assemblymember Hancock was pleased about the
potential extension of Anton Larson Road. At her
question regarding vandalism, Mayor Selby stated
enforcement was being discussed. He said the Coast
Guard patrolled the road up to the ski chalet but
there was added cost and time involvement in
extending the patrol to the end of the road.
At questions raised by Assemblymember Stevens, Mayor
Selby stated completion of the new ocean -going ferry
was anticipated by 1998. Assemblymember Austerman
clarified the objective in that once the new ferry
was built, it would allow year -round service because
it would be available when the Tustumena was not.
