Dear Mr. Fields:

Re: Triplex on sots 7 & 8
Block 38, East Addition
Your request for permission to use subject building as a
temporary dormitory was discussed at the Assembly Meeting on
June. 1.
•It was the opinion of the Borough Attorney that this would not
qualify as a public_.use since the building is not publicly
owned. However, since an exception was grunted for these lots
- to be used as R -3 it.was determined'that -you may use the
-building under the definition of a - "Boarding House't which Is
6" as follows:
"A building other than`a hotel with not more
than five sleeping rooms where lodging, with
or- without meals, is provided for compensation
for three or more persons, but not- exceeding
15 persons, on other than a day-to-day basis
and which is not open to transient guests."
You will "be reduired to follow the provisions of. this definition.
= Sincerely,_

C. Letter from VFW re Recreational Site at Monashka Bay. Mr. Berg explained that
instead of re-locating in town, the VFW wished to construct a skeet and trap
range and lodge near the old ship on Monashka Bay. They would provide a full
time live-in caretaker. They would like to obtain a 25-year lease for aboUt
30 acres. The area does not appear to be a highly desirable residential area.
Mr. White explained that this area has not yet been surveyed by BLM, and so
the Borough would only be getting tentative approval on the land when it is
selected. Mr. White felt that the best arrangement would be for the VFW to
lease the land from the State with the concurrence of the Borough. The 'State
is making plans for a picnic area at the head of Monashka Bay which would fit
in well with the VFW site. After further discussion, Mr. Sutliff moved,
seconded by Mr. Barr, that the Assembly concur with the VFW proposed recreation
site at Monashka Bay. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
D. Letter from Claud Hoffman of State Division of Lands re Special Meeting on
June 7. The letter was read explaining that there is to be a lands meeting in
Port Lions on June 6 at 3:00 p.m. Mr. White suggested that Mr. Valkama attend
the meeting as a representative of the Borough. It was decided that the
meeting with the Assembly on June 7 would be more convenient at 11:30 a.m.
than at 10:00, if it is agreeable with the State. It would be a luncheon meeting.
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS - None
VII PLANNING & ZONING ITEMS
A. Recommendation from Zoning Commission re Construction of Utility Building -
Aleutian Homes, Inc. Subdivision, Block 12, Lots 50-53 - DHUD (Case 176-A).
Recommendation was read suggesting that the building be allowed under Section
X-B of the Zoning Ordinance as a building for public use. The minutes of the
Zoning Commission meeting were reviewed. Mr. Barr agreed with the recommenda-
tion. He also felt that the building could be allowed as an accessory building
to the project. Attorney Ruskin was of the opinion that the building would
not perform a public function, and had previously written an opinion that the
building would not be considered an accessory building as outlined in the
Ordinance. Mr. Sutliff felt that the warehouse is necessary, and that the
suggested site is a good one, but that the building should not be permitted
there unless a way can be found to allow it under the ordinance, or unless the
property can be rezoned. Mr. Lester felt that this property might be improved
by the construction of the building.- Mr. White reported that he had spoken to
Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Emmal, and that Mr. Stockton had spoken to Mr. Pitts in
California, and that they had all agreed that the building should not be
erected in violation of the local ordinances. Mr. White also felt that the
project logically should have such a building, but that no provision had been
made for it in the zoning of the project. Mr. Stansbury stated that there is
properly zoned property available in the City, but that DHUD wants to use their
own property, rather than leasing or buying any other lots. Mr. Barr suggested
that the building be permitted under Section 11-A-8 of the Ordinance, which
allows Federal, State or local government enterprises in any zone unless it
specifically prohibits them, after proper notice and public hearing by the
Zoning Commission. After further discussion, Mr. Sutliff moved, seconded by
Mr. Arndt, that the Assembly go on record as having no objection to allowing
the building to be located on the suggested Site #2, if the Borough Attorney
can find a legal way to allow it, and if there is no objection from the people
living nearby. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
B. Recommendation from Zoning Commission re Use of Triplex as Temporary Dormitory
for Vocational School Students - East Addition Block 38 Lots 7 & 8 - Dewitt
Fields (Case 12-B). Memo from P&Z was read recommending that this building be
permitted to be used as a dormitory under Section X-B of the ordinance as a
public use. The P&Z minutes of this item were also read. Mr. Ruskin stated
that this could not qualify under Section X-B since the building is not
publicly owned. However, it was decided that the students could be housed
there under the definition of a boarding house, if no more than five sleeping
rooms are used, and there are not more than 15 boarders. Boarding houses are
permitted in R-3 zones, and thtse lots were granted an exception as R-3 in 1965.
It was instructed that Mr. Fields be so notified.
VIII OLD BUSINESS - None
IX NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of Borough Control of Private Sewer Systems. Mr. White explained
that the Borough/City Engineer has suggested that the Borough pass an ordinance
which will set standards for the construction of private sewer systems in the
Borough in order to prevent inferior installations. Mr. Jones obtained a copy

in this case, the building could be permitted as a public facility. Mr. Waller
moved, seconded by Mr. Richmond, that it be recommended to the Assembly that
the construction of the utility building be approved on Site #2 described as
Lots 50 through 53 of Block 12, Aleutian Homes Inc; Subdivision, as a building
for public use under Section X-B of the Zoning Ordinance. Motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote.
B. Kay HOrton re Nixon's Property in Bells Flats. Mr. Norton described his
proposal to purchase the Nixon interests , graze cattle, and attempt to
raise barley and/or oats. He would like to arrange a grazing lease with the
Borough, including free range if possible. He raised various questions as to
how much a lease would cost, would it be re-newable, etc., and requested that
the Borough take action on his proposal as soon as possible. There followed
a general discussion on the Bells Flats area selected by the Borough, and the
possible location of the subdivision, trailer and camper park, and slaughter
house. Rev. Bullock stated that his group is still interested in starting a
golf driving range. It was decided that before any plans can be made, it will
be necessary to obtain a map showing the roads and facilities which now exist,
as well as the proposed layout of the subdivision. The Borough will also
have to set up a procedure for grazing leases, if they are desired. Mr. Fields
described the set-up of the BLM leases which are now being taken over by the
State. He said that the cattlemen would be glad to get together with Mr.
Horton to enlighten him on information needed for his proposed project.
C. Letter from Bjarne Olsen re Hospital Parking Requirements. There was a question
raised as, to whether the present requirement of one public parking space for
each4 beds, based on maximum capacity. It was pointed out that'additional
spaces would be needed for the staff.
VI PUBLIC WRINGS ..f=. NOne ' '
1/II ZONING. ITEMS PRELIMINARY
A. Request for Permission to House Students - East Bik 38 Lots 7 & 8 •- Dewitt
Fields. Mr. -Fields explained that the Vocational School will be finished in
July and will open this fall, but the dormitory will not be built for another
year or two Housing must be provided -for approximately 60 students, and he
has been negotiating with the school to house 15 to 20 students in his triplex
across friem'the-, school. Mr. Fields brother and his wife 'would operate the
house,' and the students would remain there only until the dormitory ,is built.
The Commission agreed to this arrangement, and it was suggested that it be ,
perhitted under Section X-B of the ordinance- as a public use. Mr. Waller made
a motion, seconded by Mr. Welch,, that it be recommended to the Assembly that
perhiasion be granted, to Mr. Fields to use his building on Lots i 7 & 8 Of ,
110-09k, 38, East Addition, for the housing Of students Until the school
authorities decide it is no longer 'needed. 'Motion carried by unanimous roll,
call vote,
B. Request for Setback Variance East 'Blk 35 Lot 3A 1- Glen. Lewis (Cage lt-A).
Application' letter was read. There is presently a skid shack on the lot which
would be remeved in order to bUild a new Apme. It was pointed -out that there
is already a parking problem connected with the let, since it is too Small
to provide off•street parking. It was suggested that off-street parking be
provided at the front of the lot. The lot is only half of the size now ' "
required by the ordinances, and Mr. Waller did not think building should be
allowed on such small lots, since the City will then become more and More
Crowded. :Mt. Stansbury felt that the owner should enjoy the same privileges
as the others in the block, set-back wise, and. Mr. Welch did not think it would
be fair to -deny the °weer' the right to build since he was trying to improve the
lot. , It was decided to hold a public hearing on the case at the next meeting
to hear- the feelings _of the nighbors, and more discussion can be held at that
time._ Mr.. Waller moved, seconded by Mr. Richmond; that a public hearing, be
held at the next -meeting. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
