A. Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing
and General Comments.
Mike Sirofchuck felt the Pasagshak Plan comprised a
consensus of all who worked on the Plan. He said the
Commission chose to prohibit any industrial activity
that was not listed in the Borough code. He urged
the Assembly to adopt the Plan as written.
Heather Andrews, Chiniak Highway Mile Post 42
property owner, was disappointed at the damage the
Corps workers caused to her private property. She
wondered who was responsible for maintaining her road
during remediation.
Presiding Officer Stevens suggested she speak with
Mr. Roth.

UNFINISHED
UNFINISHED BUSINESS BUSINESS
A. Ordinance No. 99 -05 Amending Title 17 Zoning of ORDINANCE
the Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances by NO. 99 -05
Amending Section 17.02.030 Comprehensive Plan to
incorporate the Pasagshak /Narrow Cape Area Plan
(June 1999) .
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 99 -05 was before
the Assembly.
ARNDT,
seconded by ABELL
Regular Assembly Meeting
October 7, 1999
moved to amend the
Plan on page 16, sixth
paragraph, by replacing
the words: "borough
ordinance" with the
words: "state law ".
Volume XXV
Page 180
Assemblymember Arndt said the Plan proposed that the
Borough provide law enforcement. He felt that was
inappropriate as law enforcement was the state's
responsibility.
In response to Assemblymember Branson, Director Freed
said a previous assembly adopted Resolution No. 92 -34
urging the state to adopt legislation requiring
licensing of ATV's; however, the state was still
contemplating that legislation.
Assemblymember Branson felt this issue should be
brought up at the Alaska Municipal League (AML)
conference in November.
ABELL,
seconded by ARNDT
Assemblymember Abell noted the state program was
already in place and he felt the funds could be used
for improvements to the area.
Assemblymember Bonney agreed with the amendment.

replacing the word:
"licensing" with the
word: "registration ".

ARNDT,
seconded by ABELL
moved to amend the Plan
on page 18 Industrial
Goal by replacing the
words: "Prohibit
additional industrial
activity in the plan area
not directly related to
the rocket launch
facility" with the words:
"Limit additional
industrial activity in
the plan area unless it
can be shown to be
compatible with other
existing land use
activities ".
Assemblymember Arndt felt prohibiting future
development was too restrictive and did not leave
room for future growth and development in the
Pasagshak valley.
Assemblymember Bonney disagreed as he felt the Plan's
purpose was to set aside land for future recreational
uses. He said there were other areas closer to town
that were more suited to industrial growth. He urged
the assembly to leave the Plan alone, noting that in
the future they could make changes to the Plan.
ABELL,
seconded by ARNDT
moved to amend the
amendment by replacing
the word: "limit" with
the word: "prohibit"
Assemblymember Branson felt the amendment was vague.

Noes: Bonney, Branson, Stevens

MOTION FAILED 3 Ayes, 3 Noes
Assemblymember Bonney wanted to show respect for the
