Findings of fact supporting Planning and Zoning Commission approval of a proposed screening plan on an I--Industrial zoned lot. Parcel P-19, City Tidelands. (Postponed from the January 18, 1995 regular meeting). Dear Mr. Ogg and Mr. Blankenberg: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that at their meeting on February 15, 1995, the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission adopted the following findings of fact in support of their decision to approve the above referenced screening plan: 1. A site-obscuring fence and/or wall no less than five (5) feet and no more than eight (8) feet in height, as measured from the manhole cover elevation located nearby in Father Herman Way, will provide a reasonable buffer to screen stored items, equipment or parked vehicles related to permitted industrial uses from the view of residential properties nearby. While providing ground-level screening to separate potentially incompatible uses, the fence will not obstruct the view of the channel, islands and mountains from upland residential properties. 2. A fence or wall constructed of rock, concrete, and/or double-sided wood pickets will be consistent with neighborhood character and provide an aesthetically pleasing, site-obscuring visual screen between adjacent residentially and industrially zoned properties. A minimum five (5) foot high fence and/or wall should address safety concerns by blocking, in combination with the proposed City fence along the westerly boundary of the City Park, trespass traffic between Father Herman Street and Marine Way. 4. By effectively screening the entire upland area of Parcel P-19 from all adjacent uplands property, the fence, in combination with the channel located southerly of the uplands, will adequately serve to enclose any ‘-r Dan Ogg & Eric Blankenberg February 16, 1995 Page Two / Kodiak Is and Borough open storage on the property in accordance with 17.24.060.F of Borough Code. 5. This screening plan provides flexibility, and accomplishes the intent of the code while at the same time taking into consideration concerns expressed by neighbors concerning safety and aesthetics. 6. The fence and/or wall will also provide screening as required for the parking area on Parcel P-19 by KIBC 17.57.080. An appeal of this decision may be initiated by; 1) the applicant, or 2) any person who was sent a written notice or submitted timely written comments or gave oral testimony at the public hearing before the Commission, by filing a written notice of appeal with the Borough Clerk within ten (10) working days of the date of the Commission's decision. The notice of appeal must state the specific grounds for the appeal and the relief sought by the appellant, and be accompanied by the appropriate appeal fee. Therefore, the Commission's decision will not be final and effective until ten (10) working days following the decision.

These code sections state: F. Open storage. Any storage shall not be located closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any street right-of-way. Any storage shall be enclosed with a fence acceptable to the planning and zoning commission... G. Screening. Where an industrial use is adjacent to and within one hundred (100) feet of a residential use or zone, that industry shall provide screening as approved by the planning and zoning commission. The Commission deferred findings of fact supporting this decision until the February 15, 1995 regular meeting. Findings of fact must be adopted in support of this decision in order to set forth the rational basis for the decision. The ten (10) day appeal period does not begin until findings of fact are adopted. Case 95-001 Page 1 of 3 P & Z: February 15, 1995 Old Business VII-A Staff has provided suggested findings for the Commission's consideration. The suggested findings have been developed by staff based on the testimony received and the deliberations of the Commission regarding this request. The Commission should modify or amend these suggested findings as necessary to support the basis for their decision on this request. FINDINGS OF FACT A site-obscuring fence and/or wall no less than five (5) feet and not more than eight (8) feet in height, as measured from the manhole cover elevation located nearby in Fr. Herman Way, will provide a reasonable buffer to screen stored items, equipment or parked vehicles related to perrnitted industrial uses from the view of residential properties nearby. While providing ground-level screening to separate different zoning districts and uses, the fence will not obstruct the view of the channel, islands and mountains from upland residential properties. 2. A fence or wall constructed of rock, concrete, and/or double-sided wood pickets will be consistent with neighborhood character and provide an aesthetically pleasing site-obscuring visual screen between adjacent residentially and industrially zoned properties. 3. A minimum five (5) foot high fence and/or wall should address safety concerns by blocking, in combination with the proposed City fence along the westerly boundary of the City Park, trespass traffic between Father Herman Street and Marine Way. 4. By effectively screening the entire upland area of Parcel P-19 from all adjacent uplands property, the fence, in combination with the channel located southerly of the uplands, will adequately serve to enclose any open storage on the property in accordance with 17.24.060.F of Borough code. 5. This screening plan provides flexibility, and accomplishes the intent of the code, while at the same time taking into consideration neighbors' concerns about safety and aesthetics. 6. The fence and/or wall will also provide screening as required for the parking area on Parcel P-19 by KIBC 17.57.080.

The motion was seconded and CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. V. AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS The following audience comments were all made in reference to Case 95-001, Appearance Request Item A. Marya Nault, representing Pearson Cove/Mission Road Community Association, appeared before the Commission to express concern about the proposed screening plan for Parcel P-19, in Pearson Cove. The concerns were about the economic impact inadequate screening would have on the area, the safety of the people residing in the area and those using the adjacent park, and the aesthetics of the proposed screening. Ms. Nault presented the Commission with a copy of a letter, dated October 24, 1994 to the applicant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, asking for more specific information on their proposed project. She suggested that the Commission include in its decision, a process by which the screening plan can be reveiwed for compliance with its stated goal to "keep with the character of the area". She concluded by stating that she felt making decision tonight was premature, considering that issues of access remained unresolved. Mike Haggren appeared before the Commission and stated that he felt a minimum four (4) foot high, maximum eight (8) foot high rock wall (from the road bed of Father Herman Street) with vegetation, was acceptable. He felt that a wood fence would be poor in that, being so close to the ocean, it could have a tendency to deteriorate and would be difficult to maintain. He also thought that any decision made tonight was premature, considering that issues of access remained unresolved. Pat Holmes appeared before the Commission to address the appropriateness of certain vegetation being used as screening. He felt that some of the vegetation proposed for screening could become very intrusive to the park and neighbors. He stated that using vegetation that did not grow too tall and did not spread would be least likely to block the view of the channel for surrounding residents. P & Z Minutes: January 18, 1995 Page 3 of 9 ) LINDA FREED reported that a revised screening proposal had been submitted by the applicant, and copies were available for the public in the slots outside of the Assembly Chambers. A) Case 95-001. Planning and Zoning Commission review and approval, in accordance with Sections 17.24.060 F, Open Storage, and G, Screening, of the Borough Code, of a proposed screening plan on an I--Industrial zoned lot. Parcel P-19, City Tidelands. BOB SCHOLZE reported that a revised screening proposal dated January 16, 1995 had been submitted by the applicant and included for the Commission's consideration. He pointed out that a memorandum from the City of Kodiak, Engineering Department was also provided, which stated that the revised plan was satisfactory to them. Staff had recommended postponement of this - request, in the staff report, until the February regular meeting, to allow time for a comprehensive discussion of what constitutes appropriate and adequate screening, in accordance with the code sections referenced. COMMISSIONER BARRETT asked staff if any screening plan reviews had been postponed in the past, and wondered why, at this point, staff was making that recommendation, and questioning the intent of the Borough Code, considering that they had addressed other screening reviews without difficulty. LINDA FREED reported that prior screening reviews had related to B--Business property (not I--Industrial) next to residential property, and that other proposed screening plans had not been as controversial as this one. She pointed out that the postponement was recommended to allow the Commission time to visit the site, and consider their decision carefully, because there was an aesthetic concern in this case that made it more prominent than other cases. It was noted that 1-- Industrial screening, typically, was to be site obscuring. However, if that were to be enforced in this case, it would also block or obstruct, what neighbors felt to be, a very important aspect of their view of the channel. MS. FREED stated that the Commission needed to carefully weigh these two competing values (screening the industrial use vs. protecting the view) in determining appropriate screening for this lot. P & Z Minutes: January 18, 1995 Page 4 of 9 COMMISSIONER KNAUF MOVED TO POSTPONE approval of a screening plan for Parcel P -19, City Tidelands until the regular February meeting, in order to allow time for a comprehensive discussion of what constitutes appropriate and adequate screening, to meet KIBC Section 17.24.060 F & G. The motion was seconded. The Commissioners agreed that they did not feel that postponement would accomplish anything, and that they should make a decision tonight on this request. COMMISSIONER SZABO MOVED TO AMEND BY SUBSTITUTING with a motion to approve the screening plan submitted for Parcel P -19, dated January 16, 1995. The motion was seconded. The Commission discussed the most appropriate height for the fence and/or wall. COMMISSIONER SZABO MOVED TO AMEND the main motion to specify that the fence and/or wall shall be no less than five (5) feet in height, and no greater than eight (8) feet in height. The motion to amend was seconded and carried by unanimous roll call vote. The Commission then discussed what they felt would be the most appropriate type of fence and/or wall. They discussed rock walls vs. wooden fences. COMMISSIONER SZABO MOVED TO AMEND the main motion by requiring that if any part of the screening is constructed of wood, it shall consist of a double -sided picket fence, as illustrated in the drawing accompanying the January 16th proposal. The motion to amend was seconded and carved by unanimous roll call vote. P & Z Minutes: January 18, 1995 Page 5 of 9 COMMISSIONER SZABO felt that the applicant should be allowed some flexibility with his screening plan. However, she also felt that changes should still be subject to the Commission's approval. To ensure that additional review does not cause additional fees to be incurred, she proposed the following motion: COMMISSIONER SZABO MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION by requiring that, should the applicant feel that conditions have changed and he wants to amend the plan, the revised plan must be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, at no additional charge to him. The motion to amend was seconded and carried by unanimous roll call vote. COMMISSIONER SZABO MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION by adding that the January 16, 1995 screening plan, as amended, meets the requirements of Sections 17.24.060 F (Open Storage) and G (Screening) of the Borough Code. The motion to amend was seconded and carried by unanimous roll call vote. Their was some concern expressed about the finished grade of the lot, as this would be used to determine the height of the fence. Several suggestions were made, and Commissioner Barrett presented the following motion for consideration: COMMISSIONER BARRETT MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION to say that finished grade (for measuring the height of the fence) will be determined from the manhole cover located closest to Parcel P-19, on Father Herman Street. The motion to amend was seconded, and carried by a roll call vote of 5-2. COMMISSIONERS SZABO and GORDON voted no. The question was called. The motion to substitute the original motion to postpone, with the amended motion to approve, was before the Commission. P & Z Minutes: January 18, 1995 Page 6 of 9 For clarification, LINDA FREED read the substituted motion, and reconfirmed the amendments approved by the Commission. The motion to substitute carried by unanimous roll call vote. The motion to approve as amended carried by unanimous roll call vote. Discussion of findings of fact was deferred until the end of the meeting. There were no further audience comments or appearance requests. VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS There were no public hearings. VII. OLD BUSINESS A. Case S94-020. Request for preliminary approval of the subdivision of Lot 6, Brookers Lagoon, creating Lots 6A through 6G, Brookers Lagoon (Postponed from the July 20, August 17, September 21, and October 19, 1994 regular meetings). BOB SCHOLZE reported that, at the October 19, 1994 regular meeting the Commission postponed action on this case until the January, 1995 regular Commission meeting and scheduled it as an Old Business Item. Subsequently, the applicant has been negotiating the sale of a portion of Lot 6, to an adjacent property owner. This will require a redesign of the plat to include the adjacent property (Lot 7). As a result, the applicant has again requested postponement of preliminary approval of the plat until the redesign is completed. Staff concurrs with this postponement. COMMISSIONER TURNER MOVED TO POSTPONE action on Case S94-020 and to schedule it as a public hearing upon receipt of a revised preliminary plat. The motion was seconded and carried by unanimous roll call vote.

KIB Code 17.24.060(F) and (G). Dear Chairman and Members, Based upon the discussion, and comments which took place at the work session on January 11, 1995, we have revised our plan to fulfill the requirements of the KIB Code for fencing and screening of our lot P -19. The proposal we place before you for approval is as follows: To erect a site obscuring fence and or wall made of rock, concrete, and /or wood. The fence and or wall shall be no greater than five feet tall measured from the finished grade of our property. The fence and or wall shall run along the north and west property lines of lot P -19 as depicted in the attached drawing. There shall be two gates {(A) and (B) as depicted in the attached drawing} with openings of twenty feet each as requested by the City of Kodiak in their memo of 1/11/95. Should the city feel road access adequate we may delete gate (B) and make the fence and or wall continuous at that point. We plan to start on the fence and or wall in the summer of 1995 and will continue as we construct our project. The fence and or wall should be complete when our project is finished. Should Mrs. and Mr. Hagren increase the height of their wall along our north boundary line to a height of four to five feet, we request the option to amend our proposal to fit their finished landscaping. We hope this plan meets your approval. We will be happy to provide you with more information if you need it, Sincerely, Dan Ogg enclosure: rough diagram of the fence and or wall; site plan with sewer inceptor and sewer easement depicted.. 14 fig u utoity t t ow NIAL CY( vt(t.

We have received your modified plans of October 15, 1994, omitting the floating breakwater. However, additional concerns have been raised by the. Port of Kodiak and Captain L.G. Krumm regarding the operation and use of the proposed facilities and their impact on safe navigation. Copies of these letters are enclosed. It is the policy of the DA to provide an applicant the opportunity to furnish a proposed resolution or rebuttal to all objections from - government agencies and other substantive comments before a final decision is made on a proposed project. In this regard, I would appreciate receiving any comments that you may have on this matter. You may voluntarily elect to contact the Port of Kodiak in an attempt to resolve the matter but are not required to.do so, since the DA alone is responsible for making the final decision on the application. However, you should be aware that resource agency comments and other recommendations on projects proposed to be authorized by permit must be given full consideration in making our public interest review determination, as required by law. If you intend to comment, please give your immediate attention to this matter, so processing of your permit application can be expedited. -2- In addition, . it is our understanding that the U.S. Coast Guard has decided to re- evaluate the proposal. They are also intending to conduct a site visit the first week of November. In an effort to aid the U.S. Coast Guard in their evaluation and to assist us in ours, the following information is needed: a. Specific information about the intended use and operation of the proposed facilities. Specifically, what will be stored at the site? Will any fish or other seafoods be off - loaded or processed at the facilities? Will boat repair activities be conducted on site? As specific as possible, please provide information about the intended use and operation of the facilities. b. Information on expected vessel traffic.

DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Kodiak Island Borough CASE: APPLICANT: REQUEST: LOCATION: Appearance Request V-A MEMORANDUM January 6, 1995 Planning and Zoning Commission Community Development Departmen Infoimation for the January 18, 1995 Regular Meeting 95-001 Dan Ogg and Eric Blankenberg Planning and Zoning Commission review and approval of an appropriate screening plan in accordance with Sections 17.24.060.F and G (Performance Standards) of Borough Code in the I--Industrial zoning district. Parcel P-19, City Tidelands, Pearson Cove. Father Herman Street, Pearson Cove ZONING: I--Industrial BACKGROUND The purpose of this request is to meet the requirements of Sections 17.24.060.F and G. (Performance Standards) of the Borough Code addressing open storage and screening in the I--Industrial zoning district. KIBC 17.24.060.F requires that "any storage shall not be located closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any street right-of-way" and that "any storage shall be enclosed with a fence acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission". KIBC 17.24.060.G further requires that "where an industrial use is adjacent to and within one hundred (100) feet of a residential use or zone, that industry shall provide screening as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission". This application for Commission review and approval of appropriate screening results from a complaint about the placement of a skiff for winter storage on the upland portion of Parcel P-19. This skiff is located more than twenty-five (25) feet from the nearest street right-of-way (Father Herrnan Way). Appearance Request Page 1 of 3 P & Z: January 18, 1995 Appearance Request V-A Skiffs have historically been stored all over Kodiak on properties in various zoning districts during the winter months. This includes occupied residential property where personal boat storage is permitted as accessory to the residential use, and vacant residential property, where it is not permitted. For example, an aluminum skiff is stored on a vacant R2--Two-family Residential lot less than 100 yards from Parcel P-19. Regardless, outdoor storage on I--Industrial zoned property must, as a permitted use, adhere to the performance standards of this zoning district. The entire uplands area of Parcel P-19 is adjacent to or within one hundred (100) feet of a residential zone. The applicant has expressed the wish to have the screening required by KIBC Section 17.24.060.G also qualify as the fence enclosure required around open storage by KIBC Section 17.24.060.F. Since the intent of both of these performance standards is to minimize adverse impacts through buffering, it should be possible for an approved screening plan to meet the common purpose of both code sections. As identified on the accompanying site plan, the applicants propose to construct a rock wall along the north and west upland property line of P-19 and to plant native vegetation along the rock wall to provide screening. Large boulders have already been placed along the north property line common with Lot 6-A. A residence is located on Lot 6-A. The applicants have stated their intention to provide the required screening plan for approval by the Commission in conjunction with the development of their proposed project. They have expressed a willingness to advance the scheduling of installation of a buffer between their industrially zoned tract and nearby residentially zoned property to mitigate any perceived negative impacts resulting from the use of their property. The City of Kodiak has indicated that, ultimately, a cyclone fence will probably border the City Park where it is adjacent to the west side of Parcel P- 19. However, the City of Kodiak is concerned with preserving access to the sewer easements that blanket the southern portion of Lot 6A and northern part of Parcel P-19 as well as, potentially, access from Father Herman Street to the park. These are issues yet to be resolved with adjacent private property owners. The Commission should determine whether the screening, as proposed, will meet the requirements of KIBC Section 17.24.060 F & G, by adequately Appearance Request Page 2 of 3 P & Z: January 18, 1995 Appearance Request V-A separating the commercial and residential uses and ensure, to the extent possible, that detrimental land use conflicts will not occur. Staff has made it clear to the applicant that the Commission may require additional screening or other conditions that it believes are reasonable to meet these two code sections. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission postpone approval of a screening plan for Parcel P-19, City Tidelands until the regular February meeting, in order to allow time for a comprehensive discussion of what constitutes appropriate and adequate screening, to meet KIBC Section 17.24.060 F & G. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to postpone approval of a screening plan for Parcel P-19, City Tidelands until the regular February meeting, in order to allow time for a comprehensive discussion of what constitutes appropriate and adequate screening, to meet KIBC Section 17.24.060 F & G.

January 11, 1995 Dan Ugg's letter to P&Z dated 20 November 1994 I am unable to attend tonight's P &Z meeting you told me about yesterday due to prior commitments. However I would like to clarify our position regarding the proposed visual barrier detailed in the referenced letter. As we have stated previously our main concern is access to the existing sewer interceptor line for maintenance and repair. I would add the following comments: 1. Iii reviewing the site plan It appears that there will be sufficient vehicular access to the interceptor from Father Herman street through the 23'6" opening shown once fill is placed below the high tide line. Prior to placement of the fill access will need to be maintained. The developer needs to accurately show the interceptor and easement on the site plan to confirm that the access is indeed contained within the easement. 2. We request that a gate be installed on the boundary with the park wide enough to permit our sewer cleaning truck to pass. A 20' opening should be sufficient. Our intention is to ultimately fence the entire perimeter of the park. However we would still provide a gate for access. 3. Finally If would confirm what Mr. Ogg stated that the developer would be totally responsible for any repair costs to their improvements associated with maintenance, repair or improvements on the interceptor. cc: Gary Bloomquist ration in may be ieighbor- in a for - pecies, it al princi- ents with both for ree, from palette of 792 �d mainte- oose trees little care. ntal abuse Lnd deicing are adapt - rees, sweet and oaks. ;ompounds, red cedars; !main trees, be planted icy to clog hat are brit rt- lived, and ent. Exhibit ats on each 'be carefully ler to maxi - :enance pro- SITE DESIGN gram should be followed. Regular watering is particularly essential until the trees are established. One source specifies, "New trees should be watered weekly for two years after transplanting. The more concrete in sight, the more need to watch the tree. "93 Rather than specifying how often trees should be watered, a muni- cipality can require regular maintenance until plantings are esta- blished. Making a developer responsible for replacing dying trees during the next planting season acts as an incentive for imple- menting a regular maintenance program. Buffering FUNCTIONS Buffering, usually consisting of a landscaped open area, berms, or fences, is often required in subdivision developments to minimize adverse impacts. Buffers are used to screen land uses that create nuisances, to create privacy, to divert or soften glare, to filter noise, and to modify climatic conditions. Separating land uses. When land uses create nuisances — such as fumes, traffic, or noise — landscaped buffer areas may be required to separate an undesirable land use from other land uses. Residential and industrial areas, for example, generally require a buffer zone between them. Sometimes commercial development acts as a buffer separating residential from industrial areas. Buffering requirements, however, must take into account local conditions and preferences. For instance, a mix of uses may be desired in urban areas. Buffering should not be done automati- cally, but only when there is an identified need. Creating privacy. When land -use intensity is high, buffering may be necessary for privacy between dwellings and to minimize the impact of street traffic. For example, residential cluster developments with narrow street frontages and contiguous rear yards need fencing, walls, or landscaping if building design or sit- ing does not ensure outdoor privacy.94 Diverting or softening glare. Glare can result from numerous sources, such as light standards, car lights, and reflections from large bodies of water. In some cases, it may not be possible to prevent glare, but foliage can be used to alleviate or reduce its impacts. Hedges will screen the glare from headlights, and trees planted upwind from lakes and other bodies of water will produce ripples on water, scattering the reflection.95 253 Photo 3-29.. Buffering is needed to screen residential from industrial uses. Photo 3-30. These dumpsters present an unsightly view from the road and should be buffered. 260/REFERENCE Photo 3 -31. Buffering effectively screens this residential development from the noise and traffic on an adjacent street. Filtering noise. Noise, defined as any undesirable sound, can come from a number of sources: linear sources (highways), activity sources (airports), and spot sources (swimming pools), with the method of control dependent on the source.96 To filter traffic noise (a linear source), for example, a wide buffer area planted with trees and shrubs or an earth berm with vegetation may be required. In many cases, it will not be possible to eliminate noise entirely (especially with landscaping only), but more pleasing sounds, such as trickling water, can be used to mask it. Modifying climatic conditions. Buffering can be used to reduce the effects of high winds. It will also block strong sunlight during summer months and allow solar access during the winter months. A screen of evergreens planted upwind from buildings and perpendicular to the direction of strong winter winds will act as a wind barrier and help to reduce heating costs in the winter.97 Similarly, vines and deciduous trees and shrubs can significantly reduce temperatures inside protected buildings during the summer while allowing solar access during the winter, thus reducing both cooling and heating costs.98 Other functions. Buffering can also serve other functions, such as snow drift control, enhancement of wildlife habitats, and air purification. SITE DESIGN BUFFERING MATERIALS Buffering materials usually consist of densely planted ever- greens or other thick foliage, solid or closely woven fences or stone walls, or earth berms planted with shrubs and trees. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 1. Buffer zones are often required in subdivision regula- tions to screen land uses that create nuisances. Dimensions vary between 25 to 30 feet, with 25 feet being more common.99 2. Screening around parking lots, garbage areas, and load- ing areas should consist of at least one row of evergreen shrubs. Sources variously set the dimension of the buffer strip at between 4 and 10 feet. 3. Traffic noise and headlight glare can be a major source of irritation, particularly for residential developments. Residential lots should front lower-order streets both to minimize these nui- sances and for safety reasons. For effective screening from traffic noise generated by higher-order streets, sources set the width of buffer strips at between 25 and 35 feet, with vegetation no closer than 20 to 50 feet from the center of the nearest lane.'°° Where residential developments abut interstate highways, a belt 65 to 100 feet wide is suggested, with the near edge of the belt 50 to 80 feet from the center of the nearest traffic lane.191 Both trees and shrubs are required because neither is sufficient by itself to muffle sounds. It should also be noted that there are other solutions to control noise. A six- to eight-foot berm with dense shrubs planted in front and taller trees behind was used as a noise buffer in Irvine, California, for example, and solid concrete walls with landscaping have been used at other locations.192 4. Buffering also helps ensure privacy in developments with high land-use intensities. In addition, requiring fencing or landscaping avoids the jarring effect created when each home- owner in a cluster development comes up with a different design. DESIGN The model ordinance does not attempt to dictate the exact placement of trees and shrubs in the buffer area. Buffering designs and plant materials can vary substantially, yet still be func- tional. Plantings should be located, however, to avoid damage to existing plantings and to provide maximum protection to adjacent properties.

KIB Code 17.24.060(F) and (G). Dear Chairman and Members, Our property is tideland and submerged land Parcel P -19 located in Pearson Cove and zoned Industrial. We are presently in the process of obtaining a US Army Corps of Engineers Permit to construct our project for two buildings on piers with floating docks. The above drawing is an artistic drawing of our project. We will submit for your approval at your January meeting more detailed drawings of our proposed screening and fencing. Our idea is to build a rock wall along the north and west borders. Up against this wall in a three to four foot wide berm we plan to plant a vegetative screen of the following vegetation: Low vegetation; Middle vegetation; High vegetation; beach rye grasses, flowers, and berry bushes alder and willow mountain ash, sitka spruce, and birches. This type of vegetation is presently in the neighborhood and will, in our opinion, keep with the character of the area. You will notice that each of the types chosen are native or do well in Kodiak. The above drawing shows the location of the rock wall and the vegetative screening. Eric discussed the screening with Mike Haggren, the owner of the residential lot immediately to the north of our parcel on Sunday November 20, 1994. Mike felt that a page two vegetative screen would be fine with him as long as it looks nice. I discussed the concept of a vegetative screen and rock wall with the City of Kodiak Engineer, Matt Holstrom, on Wednesday November 16, 1994, as the City is the owner of the other adjacent property and they have a sewer easement across the upland of our lot. Matt was concerned about spruce trees within ten feet of the location of the sewer main. Matt also stated that we will be responsible for the cost of replacing our wall and vegetative screening should the city need to excavate in the easement. He further indicated the city is planning on placing a cyclone fence on our west border when they develop the park. In any event, we will need to confer with the city before we fmalize our plan. We plan to start on the wall and screening in the summer of 1995 and will continue as we construct our project. The wall and screening should be complete when our project is finished. We hope this plan meets your approval. We will be happy to provide you with more information if you need it. We plan to be at your work session previous to the January meeting in order to answer questions.
