Mr. Hansen and Mrs. Hajdu felt that it could be used for apartments. After considerably more discussion and map study, it was agreed that another attemtp should be made to rezone a smaller portion of the aeaa which was originally proposed., Mt. Barr commented that if the area develops rapidly, • then it can be expanded further. The Zoning Commission will further define the boundaries of the area at their next meeting. . Exception to Parking Requirements Granted to Ron Ball for Bunkhouse, Restaurant and Bar - TOWnSitelBik-lb_Lota9ACase-1557B0-. Mr. Hansen explained that there was no provision in the ordinance for parking requirements for a bunkhouse or dormitory --therefore the requirements for a hotel are used. However, the people using these facilities are cannery workers and very seldom own cars. Since the requirements were being met for the restaurant and bar, with some spaces left over for the bunkhouse as well, the Commission had granted the exception. It was not the intent of the Commission to include Mr. Ball's Hertz car rental business in the exception. The Commission agrees that there is a parking problem in the area, but does not feel that Mr. Ball's establishment will add to it. If Mr. Ball eventually finds that 'he does not have sufficient parking space, he will have to purchase.more land to provide it. It was agreed that the biggest parking problem in the area is that of the fishermen's cars, and also the•dannery 0001bYdeskOolution must be found for these problems, but individuals Opening establishMentS in the area should not be required to provide parking for these other Cats. Mr. Lester pointed out that the Kodiak Inn had not anticipated parking problems, which it now has, and felt that Mr. Ball might also have a problem later on. However, he did not wish to hold up Mr. Ball's COnstruction. The other Assemblymen concurred, and4In.711irrtated-that:hewould:Withdraw-his_appearto_the (decision-on:the exception. Mr. HanSen suggested that the ordinance be amended to include different parking requirements for rooming houses. C. Resignation of Mr. Breckberg from Zoning Commission. Mr. Hansen presented Mr. Breckberg's resignation which was read by Mr. White. Mr. Hansen requested that an appointment be made to fill the vacancy. Mr. White asked for suggestions and Herb Richmon's name was mentioned. Mr. White inquired if the group was sufficiently large, and Mr. Hansen replied that he thought it should be larger, and that he would appreciate the participation of the Comprehensive Planning Commission, D. Comprehensive Plan and Expert Planner. It was agreed that the Borough should have an expert long-range planner, but that it must be someone who will remain on the staff to put the plan into effect. Mr. Sutliff stated that the planners who worked on the 1980 Plan were experienced and had good ideas, but left when they had drawn up the plan. Mrs. Hajdu felt that even a specialist would still have to depend on the local people for recommendations. Mr. White stated that the Federal Government will not give Kodiak any grants for water or sewer work until a new Comprehensive Plan has been established, but that neither will they provide a grant to accomplish a new Plan. For this reason, other means are being sought to accomplish a Plan, such as through a private planning firm. It may be more expensive, but it does not, look as if funds are going to come through from ASHA, and even if they did, it would probably be 1970 before the Plan were completed. -E. Future Joint Meetings. It was agreed that future joint meetings would be worthwhile. The Zoning Commission was invited to attend a meeting with the Assembly and representatives from the Division of Lands to discuss various problems in Bells Flats on Wednesday, May 3, at 9:00 a.m. IV -ADJOURNMENT - The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m. APPROVED: Wilton T.

Gentlemen: Please accept this letter as a request to appeal the decision of the Planning & Zoning Commission•on April 12, 1967, to grant an exception to parking requirements to Ron Ball for his hotel, restaurant and bar on Townsite Block 18 Lot 19. I do not .feel that this exception is justified since there is already a serious parking problem in this area caused by lack of parking for the canneries and fisherman, and a relaxation of the requirements in this case would add Ito this problem. Sincerely, //1 James R. Barr ASSEMBLY MEETING - Apr 0, .1967 2 rate, it will be done; if not, the unbudgeted surplus revenue will be utilized for reduction of school capital indebtedness or expenditures, and the resulting surplus will remain in the general fund. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. B. Menlo from P&Z re Expansion, of Business District. The memo was read, requesting that the Assembly take a second look at the proposed rezoning. Mr. Barr suggested a joint meeting with.. the Zoning Commission to:discuss the matter. Mr. Sutliff felt that areas should be zoned however the people living in them wanted them zoned. Mr. White'did not feel that this would be a solution, since it is the Borough's,resporsiblity to create a balanced zoning for the entire community, and probably no individuals would ask for their property to be zoned business. Mr.. Sutliff,a.lso objected to people who have been here only a few years attempting to. rezone the; town for people who have lived here all their lives. After. further discussion,'it was agreed to hold a joint meeting on Monday, April' 24. C. Letter from F. J. Keenan re Conditions of Land Sale. The letter was read asking whether the Borough wished the land sale contracts to be held open until after the requiredimprovements had been made, or if the restrictions should be incorporated into the deeds, which would require enforcement after the fact. It was agreed that the best approach would be to hold the deed transfer up until the improvements had been made. A question was then raised as to how an individual could finance construction of a house without having title to the property. Mr. Ruskin suggested that the deed be placed in escrow. He stated that no loan would be made if the individual intended to take ten years to p,y for the land, so that the land would have to be paid for at the same time the house is constructed. Under these circumstances, he felt that the bank might provide a loan if the deed were placed in escrow. It was pointed out that even if .the deed were issued, a loan could not be obtained if the deed had restrictions in it. Mr. Stansbury commented that at present the banks are not lending money to construct homes except on lots inside the City that have :.eewer and water. .It was agreed that Mr. White should discuss with the banks and with the State the possibility of holding the deed transfer up and placing the deeds in escrow until the improvements are completed. D. Sanitariah'S Report. The -report was perusedty'the Assembly members. VI PUBLIC HEARINGS -- None VIII A. Exception to Parking Requirements Granted by the Zoning Commission to Ron Ball for his Proposed Hotr1,. Townsite Bik 18 Lot 19 (Case 155-B). Mr. Barr felt that this exception should not have been granted, since there is already a serious parking problem in this area. Mr. Barr said that he would formally appeal the decision, and that it could be discussed at the meeting on April 24. Mrs. Haj du suggested that forcing compliance with the parking require- ments (Dor the canneries also be discussed. The Assembly concurred. A question was also raised as to which body was the correct one to sit as the Board of Adjustment to hear the appeal. OLD BUSINESS A. Vacation of Taxes on Boat Owned by George Naumoff of Port Lions. Memo from Assessor was read explaining that this boat was totally destroyed by fire in 1966, and since Mr. Naumoff was disabled by the accident, it was recommended that these taxes be forgiven. After a brief discussion, Mr. Sutliff moved, seconded by Mr. Barr, that these taxes be forgiven. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. IX- NEW BUSINESS - None X CHAIRMAN'S REPORT A. Community College for Kodiak. Mr. White reported that the Chamber of Commerce had asked the Borough to adopt a resolution urging the establish- ment of a community college under the sponsorship of the University of Alaska. Mr. Norton spoke in favor of the idea, stating that over 50% of Kodiak's high school graduates go to college, and that they, as well as the teachers in town, could use the facilities. After further discussion, Mr. Barr moved, seconded by Mr. Sutliff, that the Assembly go on record as favoring continuation of efforts to establish a community college in Kodiak. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
