Dear :Mr.. Walls:
Thank you for your letter of April 22 to Nt. Wright.
I am very sorry but I'm afraid there has been • a misunderstanding concerning
your request for rezoning of your lots in the Erskine Addition. At their
meeting on April 21, the Borough Assembly merely requested the Borough Attorney
to draw up an ordinance to cover the rezoning. This is in no way an approval,
but rather a step in the procedure for rezoning which consists of the following:
1. Request is presented to AsSembly. If they feel that request
is valid, they ask the Attorney to prepare an ordinance, the
means by which rezoning must be. accomplished., •
2. The ordinance is prepared and presented At the next Assembly
meeting, at which time it is given a "First Reading" which-
is formally approved by the Assembly,
3. .Notice is then published in the paper, and notices sent to
residents within 300 feet of the boundaries of the lots
involved, that there is to be a public hearing on the
Ordinance.
4. At the next meeting, the Ordinance is given a "Second
• Reading," and a public hearing is held at which time all
objections to the, rezoning may be voiced. If the Assembly
feels that the objections are valid, they will disapprove
the rezoning; if they do not, they will approve the rezoning
• and the Ordinance.
To- further complicate matters in your case, our-Attorney is presently in'the
States and will not be backuttil after May 5, which may mean that the First'
Reading could not be schedUled until Hay 19' and the Second Reading and-publit
bearing on June 2.: Rowever,-we are going to tryand-have the ordinance written
in the Attorney'.s absence, in -which case the First Reading would be May 5 and
the Second Reading and public hearing on May 19.
Mt . Paui T. Walls 2 April 26,. 1966
I am sorry that 1 did not have a*chance to speak to Mr. Gransbury after the
meeting, but it adjourned very late and he left before it was over.
I hope that this clears up any misunderstanding concerning your case.
keep you . and -Ht. Gransbury posted an its progress.

Kodiak, Alaska
Dear Mr. Wright:'
REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS
AND CONSULTANTS
Mr. Gransbury informed me today that the Borough acted
favorably upon my request to rezone Lots 115, 116 and 117 from R-2
to Business.
We understand that there are other formalities to finalize
this action, which I believe will be May 19th.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation
to you and the other members of the Borough. I am confident that as
this property is developed, it will be a favorable improvement to the
business district of Kodiak. You may be assured that we will be
extremely careful in our design and planning to upgrade the aesthetic
values of Kodiak.

ASSEMBLY MEETING - April 21, 1966
Various complaints were made that there are inequitities in the assessments: It
was brought out that it is possible for errors to be made, and that possible errors
should be checked out by talking to the Assessor. If an agreement cannot be
reached, an appeal should be made to the Board of Adjustment. If an agreement
still is not reached, an appeal may be made to the Superior Court.
In summarizing, Chairman White stated that the Assembly realizes that there is
a lot of dissatisfaction concerning the assessments, and that some action must be
taken to resolve it. He suggested that a board be created to act in an advisory
capacity both to the public and the tax assessor, which would assist him in
making the assessments. This board should represent a cross- section of the
property owners.
He emphasized that everyone who cannot come to an agreement with the Assessor
should apply for a Board of Equalization hearing. According to the law, a visit
must first be paid to the Assessor. If agreement cannot be reached, then the
BOE forms should be filled out. But the discussion must be held with the
Assessor, not with the Chairman or the Assembly members. Those people who cannot
see the Assessor during working hours may call him at the Borough Office.
A comment was made that re- appraisals should be done. Mrs. Hajdu replied that the
overall values would remain the same. If there are inconsistencies, they should
be reported so that they may be adjusted.
III Minutes of previous meeting, April 7, 1966, were not read aloud since copies were
available to everyone.
IV School Board minutes of April 5 and April 11 were read. Mr. Schott explained to Mr.
Wright that the pension is an honorarium of one payment which is paid out of the
General Fund.
V COMMUNICATIONS - CORRESPONDENCE - PEOPLE TO BE HEARD
A. Letter from Supt. of Schools re Special Assembly Meeting on April 28 for elementary
school bid opening was read. Mr. Schott explained that if the bids are in order
on that day, the contract could be awarded if the Assembly is present, thus saving
time. Chairman White stated hhat the Borough has been advised that the bond market
is so depressed that interim financing had been suggested instead. After brief
discussion, it was decided that the bond matter would be checked into, and a
decision made then about Assembly attendance at the meeting on April 28.
VI PLANNING & ZONING ITEMS
A. Exception to Build Men's Dormitory in R2 Zone - Townsite Blk 1 Lots 7 & 8 - L. A.
Hopkins (Case #127 -A) - Public Hearing
Case was reviewed, and Mrs. Hajdu made a motion that the exception be granted to
Hopkins Construction for construction of a men's dormitory in the designated area.
Seconded by Mr. Haakansen. Public hearing declared open. The Metrokins and
Bortons stated that they wished to be removed from the petition in favor of
construction. It was pointed out that Walter Kraft, also on the petition, no
longer owns property in the area. There was an objection that there would be no
room for parking. Mr. Dunham, representing Hopkins, explained that the dorm
would have a live -in supervisor, and that there would be enough parking space.
There were other objections that this would open the area to other R3 dwellings;
and that a dorm should not be put in a residential area. It was suggested that
new petitions be drawn up, both for and against. Mrs. Hajdu withdrew her motion
and moved that a public hearing be scheduled for the next meeting. Mr. Haakansen
concurred. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.

since the value of them might be higher if they were zoned business. Mrs.
Springhill and Mr. Craig objected because they feared taxes would be raised.
Mrs. Kessler, in favor of rezoning, objected to waiting for takeover by Urban
Renewal. Mr. Best spoke of necessity of establishing a line between the Business
and R3 areas. After considerable further discussion, public hearing was
closed and motion defeated by unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Lester made a
motion that the ordinance be rewritten to include only those lots presently

Gentlemen Re: Request for Zoning Change
Phone BR 2.1935
135 EAST FIFTH AVENUE
In accordance with Ordinance #64 -5, I as agent for land owner, Paul T. Walls, here-
by apply for zoning change on certain lots located in the Kodiak Island Borough and
enclose your required $20e herewith in the form of our check.
Mr. Walls is the owner of Lots 117 and 118 and has an option on Lots 115 and 116,
all in Block 9, Erskin Subdivision, Kodiak, Alaska.
C
Our first choice of zone change is to have all of said Lots 1 116 and 117' zoned
Commercial Business. This choice is more fully described on plat herewit marked
"FIRST CHOICII: ", which shows all of Lots 115 and 116 used for parking only. This will
allow a larger building to be built on the rear of Lots 117 and 118.
The second choice would be to zone Lot 117 only Commercial Business and thus allow
a much smaller building which would require a daylite basement, first and second floors.
This would bebdilt back to allow parking in the front of the lots. This is more ful-
ly described on the enclosed plat herewith and marked "SECOND - CHOICE ".
The planned building will have a daylite basement for storage. The ground level flo-
or will be used for offices and business. Said space has been spoken for. The total
plan is for a low, modern, attractive flat top type of building which will be a credit
to the city and area. All parking areas will be black topped.
Commercial Business Zoning requested for the subject Lots for the following reasons:
(1) Before architecural design for construction can be accomplished for subject Lots
they must be zoned Commercial Business. This will allow a building designed for these
lots to be set in an area most suitable to meet the parking need. We feel that this
zoning must be accomplished for best planning and use of these hillside lots. Lots
115 and 116 will be used for parking only, thus nothing in our construction area will
block the present view of existing properties.
(2) The adjoining area Lots 81, 82, 83, 118 and 119 are now zoned commercial business.
(3) The City Market Lots 84 and 89 have been used for business for a long time and
their present zone is R -2. We understand that they also own Lots 90, 91 and 92 and
are hopeful of using these lots for parking, which they are in need of.
(4) The Kodiak City Hall is located in this area and it is reasonable to beleive
that, our request is in keeping with good planning for the area in general.
(5( In our opinion and knowledge there should be no neighborhood objection to our
type . of construction and request.
Your very truly

Dear Mr. Wall
In regard to our telephone conversation of this morning, there are two courses
of action that you may follow in order to use your Lot 117, Bik 9, Erskine
Addition, for a parking area. Since this lot is presently zoned Residential R2,
a parking area would not be permitted (see Ordinance, p. 6, Sec. 4- A-2)..
The simplest and fastest method to change the use of the lot might be to apply
for an exception under Sec. 1O -A -11 of the Ordinance (p. 25). To do this, a
letter from the owner of the lot should be addressed to the Planning and Zoning
Commission stating the reasons for the request (p. 24 -25).. At the next meeting
following receipt of the letter, the Commission will set a date for a public
hearing on the case. The property owners within 300 feet of the lot boundaries
will be notified, and following the hearing the Commission will grant or deny
the request.
The other method would be to apply for a rezoning of the lot from R2 to Business,
which might require a public hearing by both Planning and Zoning Commission and
the Borough Assembly (pp. 45-48, Sec. 23).
In eigher case, a fence around the parking lot will be required (p. 31).
I learned this morning that a similar request for an exception for a parking area
was recently denied, but it would appear that the circumstances of your case
would enable you to obtain the exception without any difficulty. Of course, it
would depend upon any possible objections of nearby property owners.
If the exception request was denied, a re- zoning may not be too difficult to
obtain, since the property is backed by City Market (the store you mentioned)
and that might logically also be re - zoned to Business (it is presently zoned
R2, but the store is permitted there because it existed at the time of the
adoption of the Borough zoning ordinance (p. 27).
I am enclosing a list of meeting dates for your information. If you have -any
further questions, we will be glad to be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Sally : Hendrix,
