V COMMUNICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE
Letter from Kodiak Travelodge - Requesting a Zoning Exception
For Required Parking Spaces for the Purpose of Securing a',
Building Permit for Remodeling, read in part by the Borough Clerk.
The letter stated that changes will be made that will reduce the
required parking space. At present there are not enough spaces
for the facility; however by closing the Poop deck and the'coffee
shop and using that arealbr rooms the required spaces would be
reduced to 33. Mr, Roy Benton was in the audience as a representati
of the Travelodge and stated that they are seeking additional
land for parking. The Travelodge has an option on the property
adjacent to the Inn and presently the lawyer is seeking tOtt
obtain the property directly behind the Inn. The City Council
has been approached on this matter and indicated they were in
favor of expansion; however nothing in writing was presented.
The Commission discussed the design of the parking area, fire
protection and noted that this is not a motel-type facility.
Mr. Terrykl Iliat-theCoMissiOn grant the-exception, Seconded
by Mr. Holt. After further discussion on the location of'''the
fire hydrant Mr. Terryamen-ded_hislilotion to read-that the,
Changes will comply -with the Fire-Marshal-requirements; approved--
by the second. The question was called and motion_passed by
unanimous roll call vote.
The Commission noted that because the Inn is actually decreasing
the number of spaces required and that the owners and operators
of the Inn are still seeking additional land, the exception could
be granted. It was further stated that should the Attorney upon
review of the Commission action determine that a public hearing
is necessary such a hearing will be set. Mr. Benton was requested
to keep the Borough advised of the status of this matter.'

RE: KODIAK TRAVELODGE
Dear Planning Commission:
We are requesting a zoning exception for required parking spaces at the
Kodiak TraveLodge for the purpose of securing a building permit to remodel
the old coffee shop and Poop Deck bar.
The City Building Department has a full set of plans outlining our work
proposed. It is to close the breezeway area and convert that area and
the vacant building described above to 8 hotel rooms and manager's apart-
ment.
I had previously written the City-Council stating that the parking require-
ments were to stringent and at that time was going to add more seats in the
coffee shop.
At that time, we were charged. with the following:
We propose:
36 rooms
150 seats
Total
• 44 rooms
Manager's Apartment
(Unit 1-2-3)
86 seats
Total
36 spaces
30 spaces
66
9 spaces - 1 for every 5 rooms
1 space
17 spaces
27 spaces ,
We have 16 spaces now and are still sincerely attempting to purchase pro-
perty adjacent to our own to provide additional parking. Hopefully this
will be accomplished by summer.

these additional rooms completed by spring.
