1. 'I believe that the exceptional physical conditions
make it necessary, to request a variance as the site is on a
steep slope.
2.- The amount of fill necessary to conform to the provisions
of this sub - chapter would .make it very expensive and unsightly.
3. The granting of this variance would not result in any
damage or. deterioration of the area. On the contrary I feel it
would enhance it as the spruce trees which are here are desirable
for the whole neighborhood and will have to be removed if the
variance is not granted.
4. I can see no way that the granting of the variance will
be contrary to the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The
house is now ten feet from the right -of -way and if I had to conform
to the regulations the garage , would have to be farther from the

B. Vacation Request - Dennis Cessna, Block 51, Lots 16, 17, 18, read by the Borough
Clerk .noting that this was being requested in order to sell a single family dwelling
located on two of the lots. This vacation and replat will establish lots 16A & 18A.
Mr. Holt moved for approval of the vacation and replat of Lots 16, 17, 18, Block 51,
East Addition, seconded by P'Jr. Edris. The regular meeting recessed and the public
hearing was opened. There being no comments from the audience, the public hearing
was closed and the regular meeting reconvened. The question was called for and
motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
C. Vacation Request and Replat of Lots 33 and 34, Airpark Subdivision, Block 1 -
read by the Borough Clerk and preliminary map studied. Mr. Wheeler moved for
approval of the vacation and replat request on Lots 33 and 34, Airpark Subdivision,
seconded by Mr. Holt. The regular meeting recessed and public hearing opened.
One individual in the audience was interested in the lot next to those being replatted
and questioned if that lot was to be subdivided. It was noted that this was not the
case. There being no other questions or comments, the public hearing was closed
and the regular meeting reconvened. It was noted that the replat does meet the
zoning requirements for lot area. The question was called for and the motion passed
by unanimous roil call vote.
D. Variance Set -Back Request, Block 55, Lot 4, William Russell, an additional letter
submitted by Mr. Russell was read by the Borough Clerk setting forth various points.
The points noted that the exceptional physical conditions make it necessary to
request variance as the site is on a steep slope; the amount of fill necessary
would make it very expensive and unsightly,; there would be no damage to the area
with the granting of the request, however, if not granted it would mean the cutting
of several trees which are desirable for the whole neighborhood. The Borough Clerk
noted that one comment had been received from Mr. Eggemeyer, owner of the next lot,
who voiced the opinion that the variance should not be granted. Mr. Holt moved to
approve the Variance Set -back, seconded by Mr. Edris. The regular meeting was
recessed and the public hearing - opened. - Mrs. Russell was in the audience and noted
that for the information of the commission Mr. Russell had taken a can of spray
paint and drawn out the location of the proposed garage. She further noted that
they hoped to extend the deck from the house and attach to the garage and therefore
the garage would not be out at too much of an angle. The garage will have the same
design as the house and will have the same siding and color so that it will be
correlated. Roy Ecklund was in the audience and did state that the slope was about
2 -1 ratim4 Any other fill would result in the loss of the trees on the slope. The
garage will be 3foir, feet_ `rom the property line, the house now sits ten feet from
the property line; there 4sIt y -three feet from the lot line to the end of the
pavement. There is room for turning radius from pavement to the garage door.
The public hearing was closed and the regular meeting reconvened. The question was
called for and roll call vote as follows: Mr. Wheeler -YES; Mr. Edris - NO;
Mr. Holt -YES; Mr. Welch - YES. Motion passed..
VII ZONING ITEMS
A. Letter Rezoning Request- Lot 12, Block 54, East Addition. It was noted that
this is in the same area that a proposed zoning change is being considered. The letter
for rezoning was read, stating that there is no demand for a house of this size in
Kodiak and that in order for an individual to purchase it would be necessary for a
rental to be placed in the basement. The minutes of the Borou Assembly's public
hearing on the rezon0rig of the blocks in east addition /wi�uggested that this
be tabled until the Commission had had a chance to have a work session on the proposed
rezoning. Mrs. Lechner was in the audience and asked if representatives of the
area could attend the work session, the Commission indicated that this would be
welcomed. It was further suggested that those individuals that desired such changes
in the zoning should also attend in order that both sides could be heard. The work
session was set for Wednesday, June 30th, at 7:30 P.M. It was requested that the
number of R -2 lots with City Water availabtle as compared with R -1 lots (both vacant)
be obtained for the information of the Commission.
Mrs. Lechner asked about the requirement for two family dwelling, lot size. The
Clerk notdd that it would required 7200 square feet to build a two family dwelling.
Some of the lots in East Addition are smaller and would have grandfather rights
for building of single family dwelling. The Commission members were in agreement
that a letter should be directed to Shelley Graybill, representative of Mr. Moore,
stating that the rezoning of the entire area was under consideration and results
would be forwarded.

of portion of Erskine Avenue between Block 1 and 2, Erskine Subdivision (case.
241-A). The letter requesting the said vacation was read in full. Mt. Constanc
moved that the regular meeting he closed and a public hearing be opened on the
vacation request, seconded by Mr. Edris. No objections were voiced the
Chairman so ordered. There were two people in the audience that wished to
ask questions concerning this vacation. One individual lived on uppper Erskine
and was questioning the type of structure that would be placed there and whether
or not this would be a two-story building. It was noted that the plans for the
building have not as yet been received; this is taken care of by the City,
however the building will conform to the present building code and could not
be more than 35 feet high. The other individual lived below Erskine Avenue '
and was concerned with the amount of fill that would be placed above their
property and further questioned the problem of drainage. The problem of drainac.€
will be taken care of at the time of a final plat which will show all the
utility easements and it was noted that the drainage cannot by law be allowed
to spill over onto another's property. The Commission noted that the question
before them at this time was for the vacation of the lower avenue and that the
final plat will show all the necessary water and sewer easements as required
by the City. The public hearing was closed and the regular meeting reconvened.
Mt. Holt moved for approval of the vacation of that portion of lower Erskine '
Avenue, seconded by Mt. Constance. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.

variance Set-Back Request - Block 55, Lot 4 -William Russell (Case 244-A)

closer to the road-right-of-way. The request had been submitted to the lawyer
and he had several points in question, concerning the side yard and the
