AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting of: September 4, 1997
ITEM TITLE: Rezoning of portions of the area subject to the Lakeside
Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Land Use Plan, to implement proposed revisions to the
Plan. Specifically:
**Lots 3 through 11, Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial and
NU -Natural Use to R -1 -Single Family Residential;
**Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision from I -Industrial to RB -Retail
Business;
**Lot 1, Block 1, Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial to RB Retail
Business;
**Lots 2 through 7, and the undeveloped right-of-way adjacent to Lot 7, Block 1,
Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial and PL -Public Use Lands to R2 -Two
Family Residential; and
**Portions of U. S. Surveys 3468 and U. S. Survey 3467 (front side of Beaver
lake) from PL -Public Use Lands /L) NU -Natural Use (approximately 10.5 acres).
SUMMARY STATEMENT: The purpose of this rezoning is to implement proposed
revisions to the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Land Use Plan. Rezoning is one
tool for implementing a land use plan; other commonly used tools are platting
(subdivision), and land disposals when the government is the land owner. These tools are
also available to implement the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan, since local
governments are the major land owners in the planning area. In addition to the rezoning
action presented here, the Commission has also initiated additional rezoning of property
in the Subarea, consistent with proposed revisions to the Subarea Plan. The Commission
will consider this additional rezone at their October regular meeting.
Written material considered by the Commission, when evaluating this rezone action, is
attached for the Assembly's consideration.

The motion was SECONDED.
Regular Session Closed.
Public Hearing Opened:
Kathy Colwell appeared before the Commission and expressed support for this
request.
Mike Anderson appeared before the Commission and gave his input on the
development of this area. He stated that he grew up in Kodiak and that he was
also on the Commission about 10 years ago. He agreed that the land around the
lake should be kept as a natural use area, He did not feel that the Borough should
be in the business of developing and selling residential lots; that it should be left
to the individual who would buy larger parcels and develop them for whatever
uses are in demand. He felt this would take a financial burden off the tax payers.
Dale Soughers appeared before the Commission and commented on the history of
the tax assessment on his land, and how it fluctuated over a several year period.
He felt that the natural use area proposed for Beaver Lake was important to the
residents of this area.
Ellen Cloudy appeared before the Commission and expressed support for this
request. She expressed a concern about the buffer zone between the residential
lots on Selief Lane and the airport. She didn't feel that there was enough
P & Z Minutes: August 20, 1997 Page 11 of 14
protection of the buffer zone and that there should be more enforceable rules when
the vegetation in those areas was disturbed.
Eric Schneider appeared before the Commission to express his concern about a
situation when people buy a lot with expectations about what is being developed
in the surrounding area, and then the zoning in that surrounding area is changed.
A letter was read into the record from Lew and Elizabeth Santoro expressing
opposition to the development of land in front of and around Beaver Lake.
Lee Russell called in to express opposition to any residential zoning on the front
side of Beaver Lake. He agreed with comments expressed in the letter from Mr.
& Mr. Santoro. He felt putting more residential lots on the market would drive
private developers out of business.
Public Hearing Closed.
Regular Session Opened.
The question was called and the motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
COMMISSIONER TURNER MOVED TO INVESTIGATE the rezoning of
Lots 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D, Lakeside Subdivision, 2nd Addition, Lot 8, Industrial

To: The Planning and Zoning Commission Members
From: Lew and Elizabeth Santoro
Subject: Opposition to Case 95-024, the development of land fronting and surrounding
Beaver Lake.
The quality of life in Kodiak is threatened. Beaver Lake is part of the important
watershed system that is here within the city of Kodiak, providing habitat to animals and
recreation to humans. It provides citizens who haven't time and/or recreation vehicle, or
who don't necessarily want to hunt, to have unrestricted public access to the beauty and
quiet of unspoiled nature trails. One reason people choose to live here is Kodiak's allure
of living in nature and in town. At this time, the indiscriminate sale of land to developers
for more housing should not be an issue. There are new housing facilities just finished at
the Coast Guard Base with more renovation being done now. A look in the paper can
show a buyer's market for housing in town and around Kodiak city.
This in -town watershed system, including Upper and Lower Horseshoe Lake, Beaver
Lake, Dark Lake and Island Lake is in need of protection from existing man-made
pollution if it is to remain viable for animal habitat and human use. What happens to any of
these lakes affects the other lakes and the whole community. There should be a plan in
place for the protection of this water system, approved by all governing entities involved,
before any rezoning is considered..
Thanking you for your time and efforts on behalf of Kodiak.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 12, 1997
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Community Development Departme
SUBJECT: Information for the August 20, 199 egular Meeting
CASE: 95-024
REQUEST: Planning and Zoning Conunission consideration of a rezone, in
accordance with Section 17.72.030.A. (Manner of Initiation) of the
Borough Code, of a portion of the area subject to the Lakeside
Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Land Use Plan, to implement proposed
revisions to the plan.
Public Hearing Item VI -G
LOCATION: Blocks 1 and 3, Lalceside Subdivision, and portions of U. S. Surveys 3468
and 3467 (front side of Beaver Lake).
ZONING: Various zoning districts
Eighty-one (81) public hearing notices were distributed on August 5, 1997.
Date of site visit:
This site has been visited multiple times in the past by staff and the
Commission.
Zoning History: The 1968 Comprehensive Plan shows this area being zoned
"residential -unclassified" and "public and semi-public". A majority
of the planning area was rezoned to I -Industrial in 1980. Numerous
rezones have occurred in the area since that time, each rezoning
moving the area away from the original industrial zoning.
2. Lot Size:
Multiple lots and blocks are included in this rezone. The total
acreage of each of the blocks identified for possible rezoning is:
Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision - 8.5 acres (approx.)
Portions of U. S. Survey 3468 and U. S. 3467 (front side of Beaver
Lake) - 10.5 acres (approx.)
Block 1, Lakeside Subdivision (including the undeveloped right-
of-way extension of Beaver Lake Drive) - 10 acres (approx.)
Case 95-024 Page 1 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Public Hearing Item VI -G
Existing Land Use: Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision - Lots 2 - 10 are undeveloped, Lot 1
is used for crab pot storage.
Portions of U. S. Survey 3468 and U. S. 3476 (front side of Beaver
Lake) is undeveloped.
Block 1, Lakeside Subdivision Lots 1, and 3-7, and the right-of-
way extension of Beaver Lake Drive are undeveloped. Lot 2
contains the City of Kodiak impound yard.
4. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North:
Generally to the north of the parcels proposed for rezoning are:
residential lots around Dark Lake; partially developed industrially
zoned land and the new ball field complex; and vacant land
(contiguous with the Safeway shopping area).
South: Generally to the south of the parcels proposed for rezoning is the
City of Kodiak municipal airport.
East: Generally to the east of the parcels proposed for rezoning is a
portion of the City of Kodiak municipal airport and the Safeway
shopping area and contiguous undeveloped property.
West: Generally to the east of the parcels proposed for rezoning is Beaver
Lake.
Comprehensive Plan:
The current applicable land use plan for this area was
adopted in November of 1991. The rezoning proposed in
this staff report is inconsistent with that Plan; however,
before this rezoning proceeds, the commission will
consider amendments to the Plan, consistent with the
rezoning recommendation contained in this staff report.
6. Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough
Code and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management
Program are applicable to this request:
17.72.030 Manner of initiation. Changes in this title may be initiated in the foliowing manner:

requesting that the commission's action be taken up by the borough assembly.
COASTAL MANAGEMENT APPLICABLE POLICIES
Residential Development
1. Location
In areas with poorly draining soils, development where feasible shall be connected
to a sewer line. Where this is not feasible, on-site facilities shall be designed so as
not to cause conditions that will pollute rivers, lakes, and other water bodies,
including the ground water supply.
Consistent:
2. Open Space
Yes, the area proposed for rezoning has access to public
sewer lines.
Green areas and open space shall be retained to the maximum extent feasible and
prudent when land is subdivided.
Case 95-024 Page 3 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Consistent:
3. Access
Public Hearing Item VI -G
Yes, while this decision is not a platting (subdivision)
decision, the rezoning proposal recognizes the need to
retain open space in the community, and provides for that
retention.
New subdivisions or other residential developments on the shoreline shall provide
usable public access to and along the shoreline, extending the length, of the
development, to the extent feasible and prudent.
Consistent:
4. Hazardous Lands
Yes, again, while this decision is not a platting
(subdivision) decision, the rezoning proposal provides for
useable public access to and along the shoreline of Beaver
Lake, extending the length of the proposed residential area.
Development shall not occur in hazardous areas such as avalanche run -out zones,
active flood plains, and high water channels to the extent feasible and prudent.
Siting, design, and construction measures to minimize exposure to coastal erosion,
mass wasting and historic tsunami run-up shall be required to the extent feasible
and prudent.
Consistent: N/A, the area proposed to be rezoned is not in a known
hazardous area.
5. Wetlands
Filling and drainage of water bodies, floodways, backshores, and natural wetlands
shall be consistent with ACMP Standards 6 AAC 80.070 (Energy Facilities) and 6
AAC 80.130 (Habitats).
Consistent:
Yes, while rezoning, in and of itself, does not permit
development, it is the first step in the process of
development. The rezoning proposal protects natural
wetlands in the area by recommending that these areas be
rezoned to NU -Natural Use, a protective zoning district.
Commercial/Industrial Development
1. Natural Features
Case 95-024 Page 4 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Public Hearing Item VI -G
Dredge and fill, excavation, shoreline alteration and disturbance of anadromous
streams, tide flats and wetlands shall be minimized when constructing and
operating port, harbor, dock, business and energy facilities - if permitted under
applicable regulations.
Consistent:
N/A, the subject area is not located along the shoreline or
adjacent to an anadromous stream. The areas proposed for
commercial zoning in the area do not contain identified
wetlands.
2. Natural Setting, Views and Access
Development shall be conducted in a manner that mitigates adverse impacts upon
the Kodiak Archipelago; developers shall provide opportunities for public access
to the shoreline and scenic views, to the extent feasible and prudent.
Consistent:
N/A, the commercial development area in the rezone
proposal is not located along the shoreline, nor will it limit
scenic views in the vicinity.
Dredge and Excavation Material
Dredging and filling shall be consistent with ACMP Standards 6 AAC 80.040
(Coastal Development) and 6 AAC 80.110 (Mineral and Mining Processing).
Dredge spoil may be utilized in shoreside landfills if permitted under applicable
regulations for the purpose of creating usable waterfront land.
Consistent:
4. Facility Design
N/A, this area will not be subject to dredge and fill
activities, as specified in the Alaska Administrative Code,
referenced in this KlBCMP policy.
Developments in or over the water, such as piers, docks and protective structures
shall be located, designed and maintained in a manner that prevents adverse
impacts upon water quality, fish, wildlife and vegetative resources and minimizes
interruption of water circulation patterns, coastal processes and navigation.
Consistent:
N/A, this rezoning proposal does allow for development
activities "in or over the water", except as may be further
permitted in the area recommended for rezoning to Natural
Use, for public recreation structures. Any future
Case 95-024 Page 5 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Public Hearing Item VI -G
development of such structures will be required to meet this
KIBCMP policy.
5. Buffer Zones
Buffer zones shall be established to the extent feasible and prudent, between
business areas and major public transportation routes and between business
development and adjacent, non -business properties in order to minimize conflicts
between land uses.
Consistent:
Yes, this rezoning proposal has been developed to
specifically meet this policy, by recommending a consistent
and graduated zoning pattern in the area that should reduce
or eliminate conflicts between land uses once the area is
fully developed.
6. Accessory Development
Accessory development that does not require a shoreline location in order to carry
out its support functions shall be sited away from the shoreline whenever there is
a feasible and prudent inland alternative. This category includes parking,
warehousing, open air storage, waste storage, treatment or storm runoff control
facilities or utilities.
Consistent: N/A, this rezoning proposal does not allow accessory
development along the shoreline.
7. Wetlands
Filling and drainage of water bodies, floodways, backshores or natural wetlands
shall be consistent with ACMP Standards 6 AAC 80.070 (Energy Facilities) and 6
AAC 80.130 (Habitats).
Consistent:
Yes, while the rezoning, in and of itself, does not permit
development, it is the first step in the process of
development. The rezoning proposal protects natural
wetlands in the area by recommending that these areas be
rezoned to NU -Natural Use, a protective zoning district.
Case 95-024 Page 6 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Public Hearing Item VI -G
COMMENTS
The purpose of this request is to investigate the possible rezone of three areas within the
Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea, consistent with recommended revisions to the Subarea
Plan. A brief history of development in the Subarea is contained in the staff report that relates
specifically to the Subarea Plan revisions, and is not repeated here. If the recommended revisions
to the Subarea Plan are made, the rezoning recommendations contained in this staff report will be
consistent with the Plan.
Rezoning is one tool for implementing a comprehensive plan. Other commonly used tools are
platting, and land disposals, when the government is a land owner. These tools are also available
to implement the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan, since local governments are the
major land owners in the planning area. Typical issues considered in evaluating rezone requests
include: conformance with the comprehensive plan, land suitability, recent development trends in
the area, and traffic impacts including adequate access and off-street parking.
The specific rezoning recommended by staff, and consistent with the reconunended revisions to
the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan, are:
Rezoning: Lots 3 - 11, Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial and
NU -Natural Use to R1 -Single Family Residential.
Lots 1 - 2, Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision from I -Industrial lo RB -Retail
Business.
Rezoning: Lots 2 - 7, and the undeveloped right-of-way adjacent to Lot 7, Block 1,
Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial and PL -Public Use
th R -2 -Two Family Residential,
Lot 1, Block 1, Lakeside Subdivision from LI -Light Industrial to R -2 -Two
Family Residential.
Rezoning: Portions of U. S. Survey 3468 and U. S. Survey 3467 (front side of Beaver
Lake) from PL -Public Use Lands to R -1 -Single Family
(approximately 4 acres) and NU -Natural Use (approximately 6.5
acres) as shown on the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea
Plan map.
Staff also recommends that the Commission reinitiate the rezoning of the following lots from 1 -
Industrial to RB -Retail Business:
* Lots 1A, 113, 1C, and 1D, Lakeside Subdivision, 2nd Addition
* Lot 8, Industrial Park Subdivision
* Tracts S -4A -1B, S -4A -1C, S -5A-1, M -1A-1 and M -1A-2 of U. S. Survey 3218
Case 95-024 Page 7 of 10 P & Z: August 20, 1997
Public Hearing Item VI -G
CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
As noted earlier, if the Commission accepts staff recommendations for revising the Lakeside
Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan, for forwarding to the Assembly, the recommendations
contained in this rezoning proposal are in conformance with that Plan.
ZONING/USE:
The predominate developed use in the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea, located north of
the Kodiak municipal airport where the rezoning proposal is focused, is residential. The general
area, as noted in the Subarea Plan, includes developing public recreational facilities (ballfields
and BMX track), and an expanding retail/commercial area anchored by the• Safeway store. The
municipal airport provides a distinct, separation between the residential development located
along Selief Lane, and the general business development located along Mill Bay Road.
LAND SUITABILITY:
The land is this area exhibits rolling terrain that generally slopes down toward Beaver Lake.
Some locations in the Subarea are characterized by steep slopes, wetlands, or other physical
features that make the land unsuitable for development. These areas have been identified for
rezoning to NU -Natural Use, which limits future development.
Another aspect of land suitability is the concept of what is land "best suited" for. In the Subarea,
one location has been the focus of most of the discussion about future land use. This area is the
"front side" of Beaver Lake. Staff believes that some areas along the front side of Beaver Lake
are "suitable" for development; meaning that they can be adapted to this use or purpose. That fact
that portions of the front side of Beaver Lake are suitable for development, is not inconsistent
with the fact that much of the public comment received by staff has strongly rejected the
suggestion of any structural development in this portion of the Subarea. Often land that is
valuable or suitable for one use or purpose has qualities that make it suitable or useful for other
uses or purposes. This is the case with some portions of the area located along the front side of
Beaver Lake. Staff believes that pockets of residential development along the front side of
Beaver Lake, will change the physical environment of the Subarea, but that such development
will not "destroy" the recreational and habitat values of the area.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN THE AREA:
This particular issue as it relates to this rezoning proposal is described both above, and in the
staff report accompanying the proposed revisions to the Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea
Plan.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
The rights-of-way in this area are 100 foot rights-of-way, with developed roads able to handle the

Public Hearing Item VI -G
adopted. However, additional pedestrian and bicycle traffic is expected with the proposed
increase in residential use in the area. To address this growing use, both in the greater community
and potentially in the Subarea, the Kodiak Island Borough is continuing to expand trail planning,
design and development. Plans call for an interconnected bike/pedestrian trail system, off the
motorized traveled way where possible, to accommodate and encourage this activity.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends- that the Conunission forward this rezone proposal to the Kodiak Island
Borough Assembly with a recommendation for approval, based on the following findings:
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for the Change
The recommended rezoning proposal is needed and justified, as it is the primary tool that will
implement the revised Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan. Should the rezoning not be
approved the area could develop in a way that is inherently inconsistent with the revised Plan. A
great deal of thought and energy has gone into the Plan revision process, and this rezoning
proposal provides a mechanism to ensure that future development in the Subarea is consistent
with the Plan, as recently recommended for revision.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect the Change will have on the Objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan
The recommended rezoning proposal will promote the objectives of the Lakeside
Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Plan, as recommended for revision.

hearing.
Lee Russell understood that his property was not part
of the rezone, and he did not disapprove of the Plan.

would be changed without providing industrial zoning
elsewhere. Mayor Selby Said there was industrial
property on Near Island within the City's limits.

said the front side of Beaver Lake zoned public use
was proposed for natural use and a small strip
fronting Beaver Lake zoned natural use was proposed
for residential. Mr. Lester was concerned that the

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISION FOR KODIAK
ISLAND;
I AM OPPOSED TO THE RE -ZONING OF PORTIONS OF U.S. SURVEYS 3468 AND 3467
FROM PUBLIC USE LANDS TO NATURAL USE AND R-1 SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL.
THESE AREAS NEED TO BE PRESERVED IN THEIR PRESENT STATE! WE SIMPLY
DO NOT NEED TO DEVELOP 'THIS AREA, LEAVE IT ALONE!

KODIAK., ALASKA 99615
-KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
re: DEVELOPMENT OF LOTS AROUND BEAVER LAKE -
AUG 20 1997
I AM OPPOSED TO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. MY REASONS ARE BASED ON FOND
MEMORIES OF TRAPPING THIS LAKE CHAIN AS A 12 yr OLD BOY IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND DOING
LIMNOLOGICAL WORK ON THESE LAKES IN 1995 & 1996.
QUALITY OF LIFE CANNOT BE MEASURED IN ECONOMIC TERMS ALONE. GROWING UP IN KODIAK
I HAVE A DEEP SENSE OF THE PRESENCE OF WILDERNESS. IT IS ONE OF THE QUALITIES THAT
MAKES THIS AREA SO ATTRACTIVE FOR A PLACE TO LIVE AND TO VISIT.
- WE NEED TO KEEP SOME AREAS FREE OF DEVELOPMENT SO THAT ''.ISLANDS 7 OF WILDERNESS
WILL BE ACCESSIBLE Ta FUTURE GENERATIONS.
THIS LAKE SYSTEM WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AREAS SO CLOSE TO TOWN, IN WALKING
DISTANCE. HORSESHOE & LILLY LAKES HAVE BEEN ALTERED, DRAMATICALLY RIMMED BY
DEVELOPMENT, THE WATER TURBID AS A MUD PUDDLE DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT. ISLAND AND
DARKLANDS HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE NICE RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN KODIAK. THE ROADS DON'T
RIM THE LAKE AND WATER QUALITY ON THESE LAKES REMAINS VERY GOOD.
BEAVER LAKE IS ON THE EDGE. IT HAS THE LEAST DEVELOPMENT ON IT'S SHORE, BUT
EROSION AND POLLUTION ( SEWAGE ) FROM DEVELOPMENT ON SELIEF IS BEING DUMPED INTO ONE
END. PIECEMEAL DEVELOPMENT HAS A CUMULATIVE EFFECT. EROSION FROM BUILDING ROADS
AND DEVELOPING LOTS WOULD DEGRADE THE WATER QUALITY AND ALTER THE ONLY LAKE LEFT
IN THIS LAKE SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T HAVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG IT'S SHORE.
I THINK THE CHARACTER OF KODIAK DESERVES TO HAVE AN UNDISTURBED LAKESHORE AS
PART OF WHAT I REMEMBER AS ONE OF THE NICEST AREAS NEAR TOWN. LEAVE JUST A LITTLE
BIT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE HERE IN THE FUTURE.

Living on an island, such as
we do here. in Kodiak, we don't
have to be reminded of how
much of our lives are affected
by water. As we walk through
the puddles, rain, and fog, it -
may seem at times that we are
not merely surrounded by wa-
ter as immersed in it. !tis.A
double-edged sword, however,
and how we manage our use of
water, before and after, has ef-
fects on ourenvironment. We
are an integral part of the wa-
tersheds of Kodiak.
A watershed is an area of
land froin which all the water
drains (downhill) to the same
location such as a stream, pond,
lake, river; wetland, or -estuary.
A "watershed system" is a
functioning, interacting unit of
all things present in the system;
:such as people; chemicals; and'
biology, A, watershed, may be
as,sinall is.a *single bog,,,na lake
Lilly:sLake, or as Iarge
' the Mississippi River drainage.
, There are three majoir_water-
-sheds in the vicinity of Kodiak.
All three have aspects in com-
mon such as fish runs in their,
- streams, but are utilized by our
community in different ways,
for different reasons. The first
iS the Pillar Creek watershed
'from which the.city of Kodiak
gets its drinking water. The sec-
ond is the Horseshoe, Lake/Is-
land Lake system. It is a major
green belt and recreation area
for Kodiak and site of present
and planned housing develop-
ment. Third is the Bells Flat sys-
We are part of watershed system
,tem with multiple use develop-
:
merit but, without a :centralized
water control system. -.
-
n- Ar few :yearsli,ack the City of
-_Kodiak got an exemption from a_
,required niulti-ibillion dollar wa-
; ter; filter system as long the
city's- drinking source; the Water:
, shed; was protected and e)ean.
Signs went up alorigthe road to
. :Pillar:Mt. notifying' 'protectiotfof •
the watershed.: Fencingwasput
'around there:St-N. on:to keep ani:
mals and people out The Point
was to keep erosion down, fecal
material and other health prob-
lems out, and to save the taxpay-
ers- mOneY. Activities such as, off.
• the road -vehic1es",1 Camping; ,and
even :walking clogs in the area can
-cause adverse effects to the drink-
,
jng water. Even though chemical.
treatment is -provided en route to
-homes,_ protection. of the water-
- shed -ensures high water quality: n
The 'Horseshoe lake/Island
Jake system, besides being a:
propagation and nursery for
salmon and trout, provides rec-
reational opportunities such as
swimining, boating, and fishing.
It also -provides' a scenic hack --
ground and trails system for. the
citizens of: Kodiak within city:
limits. However, with housing
development comes; various
forms of pollution.
Besides the obvious 'Visual
trash accumulating along the
streams and lakes of this system
there are' hidden pollutants. Run-
off from yardS-lintroduces
pesji-
cides, fertilizers,' oiln from drive-
ways, fecal materia1 from pet
wastes, and 'detergents front
washing cars. All ofthese can and
do end up in the water of this
sYstem:.Dust--and silt from un-
paved roads, off the road vehicle,
.and other trails, and construction
site clearing, also end up filling
in the streams and lakes.
The Bell's Flats watershed has .
seen a great deal -of growth in de-
, Veloprpent over .the years. Ifew7n.
ever, there is no ,central water sys,.
tem in use as ini the Kodiak city
limits. This means that all the
•
ihonies and businesses. are on
separate _well, ,and sewage sys-
• -tees: The"VariOns- uses- itieh' as
home, livestock, pet, and:business
wastes- are handled through. the
.
natural ground -water system, 'the
same system that 'provides the
drinking water through the wells.
Everything -runs literally
down-
!iiiI. What you, do on your prop-
erty effects your neighbors; down
from.You.
, .._„
7's " -So what can an individual -do
to help 'keep Our Watersheds
healthy and clean? The first and
most important solution' is pre-
vention, and -the best prevention
is awareness. Awareness of the
, benefits- that a clean watershed
provides -and the activities that.
we do that affect. that .quality.
, Solutions may run from limit-
ing aece4 and curtailing certain
activities to- costly, mitigation
projects such as silt traps. Each
of us benefits from :clean- water
, and each of us affects' that same
water in how we participate in
the whole watershed system.

Pursuant to Kodiak City Code 18.20.050(c), the Council formally announced at the February 27

NEW BUSINESS
a. First Reading of Ordinance Number 1050 RE: Authorizing a Five -Year Lease with American
President Lines for Pier 11 Van Storage Rows 13 and 14
May 8, 1997
Mayor Floyd read Ordinance Number 1050 by title. Bids for lease of six outdoor storage areas
located on U.S. Survey 2537B in the vicinity of Pier II were opened in the City Manager's office on
April 30. American President Lines (APL) submitted the sole bid which was for rows 13 and 14,
(39,800 square feet) for $1.00 per square foot per year. Sea -land Services, which had previously
leased rows 11 and 12, did not bid for renewal of its lease. APL's bid was substantially lower than
10% of the appraised value of the property. They cited the current conditions of the market and
anticipated erosion of freight rates due to deregulation as reasons for the bid and for declining
the provision for annual increases in rent. Kodiak City Code allowed leasing of property in the
vicinity of Piers!! and 111 for less than 10% of the appraised value if the Council found it to be in
the public interest.
Councilmember Hobgood MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Colwell, to authorize a five-year
lease %vith American President Lines for Pier II van storage rows 13 and 14 for $39,800 per year.
Councilmembers Colwell and Davidson voiced concern about the tone of APL's letter declining
acceptance of several elements specified in the invitation to bid and felt the Council needed time
to investigate the issue.
Councilmember Colwell MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Davidson, to postpone consid-
eration of the bid submitted by American President Lines until the May 22 regular meeting.
Councilmembers requested the issue be scheduled at an upcoming work session at which time
they would discuss their concerns and direct the City Manager to obtain additional information.
The roll call vote on the motion to postpone was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson,
Hobgood, and Walters In favor. The motion passed.
b. Resolulion Number 15-97 RE: Supporting the Alaska Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities (DOT/PF) Project to Re -Align the Rezanof Y intersection
Mayor Floyd read Resolution Number 15-97 by title. The City Manager said current configuration
of the Rezanof Y intersection was unsafe for vehicles and pedestrians. In 1991, the Council
selected a configuration for the re -alignment project from a list of options prepared by the
DOT/PF. A letter in support of the RezanofY intersection project, originally scheduled for the 1993
construction season, was sent to the State. The project was delayed until 1994 in order to
acquire the necessary right-of-way to move the storrn drainage off private property to the right-of-
way in the vicinity of the intersection. The project was further delayed when the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) notified DOT/PF that they suspected
contaminated soil. As a result, the City worked with ADC to develop a cost-effective solution for
the management and disposal of the contamination expected to be encountered during the
course of the project. Until December 1996, the project to re -align the Rezanof Y intersection had
been funded for construction beginning in 1997. A revised funding prioritization delayed
construction to 1999 or later. Resolution Number 15-97 would urge the State of Alaska to proceed
with the DOT/PF Rezanof Y intersection project without further delay.
Councilmember Hobgood MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Ballao, to pass and approve
Resolution Number 15-97.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Balla°, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
May 8, 1997
c. Resolution Number 16-97 RE: Urging the Legislature and Governor to Maintain the Alaska
Marine Highway System as a Part of the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
Mayor Floyd read Resolution Number 16-97 by title. The Mayor and City Manager participated in
a teleconference with other Alaskan coastal communities regarding Senate Bill 21 which
proposed to create a separate authority to manage the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS).
All but one community expressed concern or were opposed to this Bill. The AMHS is operated
by theAlaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and serves as a vital link among
the many maritime communities of Alaska. Should the Marine Highway be diminished or
eliminated, coastal communities would be denied basic and reasonable surface transpoi tal
Councilmember Walters MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Colwell, to pass and approve
Resolution Number 16-97.
Councilmembers discussed the potential economic impact to Kodiak should the Alaska Marine
Highway Authority be established as stipulated in Senate Bill 21. Most Councilmembers felt the
proposed seven -member board of directors would not provide adequate representation for
coastal communities other than Ketchikan.
Councilmember Davidson said the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities was soliciting comments for the Statewide Transportation Plan, Vision: 2020 Update,
and encouraged the listening audience to make their thoughts about the Marine Highway System
known.
Councilmember Balla° said Resolution 16-97 was not in agreement with recommendations of
Kodiak's legislators and suggested the council support the Marine Highway Authority concept
provided the seven -member board of directors contained coastal community representation.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
Councilmember Ballao was opposed. The motion passed.
d. Resolution Number 17-97 RE: Authorizing the City Clerk to Dispose of Certain City Records
Mayor Floyd read Resolution Number 17-97 by title. Kodiak City Code provided for the destruc
of City records which had been microfilmed. The resolution authorized destruction of certain
Kodiak Police Department documents as recommended by Chief John Palmer.
Councilmember Colwell MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Hobgood, to pass and approve
Resolution Number 17-97.
In response to a question from Councilmember Davidson, the City Clerk said Kodiak City Code
provided for incineration of records or destruction by other methods acceptable to the Clerk.
Clerk Maloney said that due to the sensitive nature of police records, the documents probably
would be incinerated or otherwise destroyed in a manner that would preclude reconstruction.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
May 8, 1997
e. Bid Award RE: Kodiak Police Department Heating & Ventilation, Project Number 97-02
Bids were opened April 24 in the City Manager's Office for the KPD Heating & Ventilation project
with the following results:
Kleb's Mechanical $58,823
H&K Sheetrnetal Fabricators, Inc. $45,650
Engineer's estimate $63,473
Improvements to the jail ventilation system were completed July 1996. The heating and ventilation
upgrade for ihe rest of the building was not included in that design because the City had been
considering construction of a new public safety building. Project Number 97-02 would upgrade
the existing heating and ventilation system at the Kodiak Police Department.
Councilmember Walters MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Hobgood, to award the bid for
the Kodiak Police Department Heating & Ventilation, Project Number 97-02, to H&K Sheetmetal
Fabricators, Inc. in the amount of $45,650, to be expended from Building Improvement Fund,
Police Building Improvements account 302.312.845.470.115.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
f. Bld Award RE: Woody Way Area Street Improvements, Project Number 96-26
Bids were opened April 29 in the City Manager's Office for the Woody Way Area Street Improve-
ments with the following results:
Base Bld Alternate A Total Bld
Anderson Construction Co. $2,346,803.00 $142,720.00 $2,489,523.00
Brechan Enterprises, Inc. $1,851,221.00 $153,703.00 $2,004,924.00
Engineer's estimate $2,334,589.50 $200,430.00 $2,535,019.50
On May 8, 1996, the Council received a petition from Woody Way Loop, Murphy Way and Hilary
Lane property owners to pave those streets. Comments were received at a public hearing on
December 12, 1996, which was continued January 9, 1997. Resolution Number 37-96, passed and
approved by the Council on January 9, 1997, created a special assessment district with a 20%
assessment rate for improvements to those streets, and directed staff to build Woody Way Loop
as a non -through street.
Councilmember Walters MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Colwell, to award the bid for the
Woody Way Area Street Improvements, Project Number 96-26,10 Brechan Enterprises, Inc., in the
amount of $2,004,924, to be expended from Street Improvement Fund, Murphy/Woody Way Loop,
account 301.311.711.470.725, Construction.
In response to a question from Councilmember Hobgood, the City Manager said Alternate A
would extend water and sewer service to adjacent areas on Rezanof Drive.
Councilmember Hobgood commented that one bid document had been changed to reflect a
longer lime frame for project completion. Manager Jones said he would confirm that bidders
were aware of the increased time to complete the project prior to signing contracts.
[Clerk's note: The lime extension was made in an addendum to the Invitation to Bid,
acknowledged by both bidders.]
May 8, 1997
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters In favor.
The motion passed.
g. Professional Services Agreement RE: Selief Lane Drainage, Project Number 92-15
AquaLife Engineering submitted a proposal to design and produce construction plans and
specifications to secure permits for upgrading the drainage along Selief Lane. The design would
implement recommendations presented in the final report of the 1996 Selief Lane Drainage Study.
Councilmember Colwell MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Ballao, to accept the proposal
from AquaLife Engineering for engineering services to produce construction plans and
specifications for upgrading drainage along Seller Lane for a fee of $12,920, funds to be included
in the next supplemental appropriation.
Councilmember Colwell spoke in favor of the agreement and provided a history of the project for
the benefit of the listening audience.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
h. Approval of Agreement RE: Fire Protection Agreement
The Kodiak Island Borough wished to contract with an existing Fire Department for service to the
recently -created Kodiak Island Borough Airport Fire Protection District. Although nearest to the
district, the U.S. Coast Guard was prohibited from being a contract first responder. The Woman's
Bay Fire Department was an all -volunteer service and was not very near the area needing
protection. The City Department was capable of providing the needed protection. To solve the
concern with distance for emergency response, the City would obtain an automatic mutual aid
response agreement with the Coast Guard. The City included an indemnification clause in the
contract. The annual payment of $8,000 was consistent with what was paid in existing service
districts for fire protection. It was understood that the agreement did not involve the transfer of
the Airport to the Slate of Alaska nor the assumption of crash fire rescue responsibilities. The Fire
Chief and City Attorney reviewed the agreement and concurred that it was reasonable.
Councilmember Davidson MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Ballao, to authorize the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with the Kodiak Island Borough to provide contract fire
protection to the Airport Fire Protection District.
Councilmember Walters did not agree with the concept and terms of the agreement and felt that
it should be delayed until the City's new Fire Chief was hired. He also said the City should discuss
annexation of that area.
Councilmember Colwell fell the City's first obligation was to City residents and that City resources
should not be extended unless there was a benefit to City residents. She also felt the agreement
was premature since the recently -formed area -wide fire protection committee had not yet met
to discuss and recommend a fire protection plan for that area.
May 8, 1997
In response to Councilmember questions about priority service for City residents, the City
Manager said the fire protection agreement could be compared to the City's area -wide respon-
sibility to respond to medical emergencies. As staff and equipment were called out, other staff
and equipment were called in to stand by. He said City residents would not be left without
protection.
Councilmember Davidson spoke in favor of the agreement and felt that City residents would
benefit by it.
Councilmember Hobgood informed the public that the City would always respond to emergencies
and clarified that the Airport Fire Protection District did not include the airport runways. He also
voiced concern about some of the items stated in the agreement and felt the Council should
further discuss the agreement at upcoming work sessions and then meet jointly with the Borough
Assembly.
Councilmember Walters MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Ballao to postpone action on the
Fire Protection Agreement to the June 12 regular council meeting.
The roll call vote on the postponement was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood,
and Walters in favor. The motion passed.
I. Appointment RE: Vacant Council Position
The City advertised the vacant Council position and three qualified people applied for the
appointment. At last Tuesdays work session, the Council interviewed Suzanne Hancock, Willie
Heinrichs, and Jesse Vizcocho. Because the City Code did not specify the procedure for selecting
an interim Councilmember from among several applicants, the City Clerk recommended a
process similar to that used by the Kodiak Island Borough for its election of a presiding officer and
for filling vacancies, which was a vote by paper ballot requiring the concurring vote of four
Councilmembers to effect the appointmenL If no candidate received four votes on the first ballot,
the candidate receiving the fewest votes would be dropped from succeeding ballots. The Clerk
would tally the votes and announce whether a nominee had received the necessary four votes
for appointment.
Councilmember Hobgood MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Colwell, to select the candidate
for appointment to the Council vacancy by a secret vote on paper ballot, the first candidate to
receive four votes being thereby appointed, provided that if no candidate received four votes on
the first ballot that the candidate with the fewest votes be removed from consideration on
succeeding ballots.
Councilmember Walters referenced the Kodiak Daily Mirror article about Councilmember
discussion of applicants at a recent work session. He felt the Mirror should also have Included the
positive statements he made about Mr. Hienrichs and stated that he and Mr. Hienrichs had been
friends for several years and had worked well together on other committees.
Councilmembers expressed appreciation to all the candidates and encouraged those not selected
to run for office in October.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Balla°, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
May 8, 1997
The City Clerk distributed and then collected ballots from Councilmembers and announced that
Jesse Vizcocho had been selected.
J. Request for Voluntary Suspension RE: Taxicab Permit Number 27
The owners of Taxicab Permit Number 27 submitted a request for voluntary suspension of their
permiL Kodiak City Code allowed voluntary suspension of a taxicab permit for a single period not
to exceed six months in any calendar year.
Councilmember Davidson MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Colwell, to authorize volu--
suspension of Taxicab Permit Nurnber 27 effective May through October 1997.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
k. Request for Voluntary Suspension RE: Taxicab Permit Number 10
The owner of Taxicab Permit Number 10 requested a voluntary suspension of his permit. The
owner resided in Anchorage and made the request via telephone just before the agenda deadline.
Documentation for this request had not been received when the packet was assembled, but
would be provided when it arrived. Kodiak City Code allowed voluntary suspension of a taxicab
permit for a single period not to exceed six months in any calendar year.
Councilmember Ballao MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Walters, to authorize voluntary
suspension of Taxicab Permit Number 10 effective May through October 1997.
The City Clerk said he would not effect the voluntary suspension until the request had been
received in writing.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
1. Resolution Number 18-97 RE: Amending the Date of Bid Opening Specified in Resolution 1,"
Resolution Number 14-97 offering for sale Tracts DI and D2 on Near Island had a date no lor'
valid by Kodiak City Code. Resolution Number 18-97 had been prepared to correct the Invalid bid
opening date. The Council could specir any number of days greater than 30 for the bid opening.
The City Manager said Mr. Baker informed him that he was putting together a feasibility study, but
would need more than 30 days to accomplish it. Mr. Baker had said he would submit a letter by
May 8 stating his time frame for completing the feasibility study, but no letter had been received
nor had Mr. Baker given him any indication of the time needed to complete the study.
Councilmembers Hobgood and Walters said they also received telephone calls from Mr. Baker,
but that Mr. Baker had not indicated how much time was needed to complete the study.
Councilmember Hobgood MOVED, seconded by Councilmember Ballao, to set the bid opening
dale to 32 days after the effective date of Resolution 14-9 and to pass and approve Resolution
Number 18-97.
VIII.
May 8, 1997
Councilmember Hobgood said he was not comfortable with the minimal plan submitted thus far
for the Ramada Inn. He felt any extension granted should be solely to rectify the time frame for
bid opening stipulated by Kodiak City Code requirements. In response to a question from
Councilmember Colwell, the City Manager said the Near Island property would be advertised for
sale and if Mr. Baker did not submit a bid within the allotted time, the Council could decide at that
time how it wished to proceed.
The roll call vote was Councilmembers Ballao, Colwell, Davidson, Hobgood, and Walters in favor.
The motion passed.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
The Council supported the City Manages recommendation to allow public parking at Pier II in
the area previously used for van storage by Sea-Land.
Manager Jones said that the Public Works Department had painted lane markings on a portion
of Mill Bay Road, but because the City lacked the specialized equipment needed the lines were
irregular. He said Public Works staff did a good job with the equipment they had available to
them. Line painting of roads was typically done by an off -island contractor.
The City's insurance rates were expected to be reduced for next year.
Coon Field improvements were completed through a joint effort of Anderson Construction,
Kodiak Island Borough, City of Kodiak, and numerous volunteers.
In response to public requests, a small portion of Baranof Park would be designated for
skateboarding. Rules would be posted and the activity would be monitored by the Parks and
Recreation Department.
Bird houses constructed by Kodiak youth would be placed in trees on Near Island by the Audubon
Society,
The Council supported the City Manager's recommendation to transfer three surplus army
vehicles no longer used by the City to the Army National Guard.

Finance Director Roy Deebel for receiving the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the

competition. He also encouraged attendance at the Little League opening ceremony for the 37
teams and favorably commented on the combined efforts to renovate Coon Field.

present visual images to the Council in the future.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS

Jesse Vizcocho on his appointment to the Council. She also felt the Public Works staff received
unjust public criticism on a local radio program about the Mill Bay Road line painting and felt they
performed as best they could with the equipment they had to work with.
The City Clerk also expressed appreciation to Ms. Killeen, congratulated Jesse Vizcocho, and
thanked the other applicants who applied for the Council vacancy. Clerk Maloney said nominating
petitions would be available on August 11 and encouraged those interested in public service to

Oregon man returns
By AL SLAVIN
Fairbanks Daily News -Miner
An Alaska AP Member
Exchange
NULATO (AP) — The both-
ersome feeling that followed him
for years has faded.
Al age 35. David Wayne Sapp
has come home to a small vil-
lage perched along -side the
Yukon River,
This Native son of Nut= who
left Alaska as a toddler with his
adoptive parents is now learning
about the mother he never knew
and Latching on to a culture that
he always yearned for.
"For once in my life, I feel like
I'm finally at peace," Sapp said.
"It feels kind of strange. 1 feel at
home here. It almost feels like this
is where I've been forever."
Just three weeks ago, the fa-
ther of four was hanging
sheetrock at his job in Irrigon.
Ore. On Thursday he was stand-
ing near the grave of his mother,
Lucille Mountain, who was bur-
ied in the village cemetery as the
summer of 1968 drew to a close.
He had visited the grave site
each day since his arrival Iwo
days earlier. On this day a stiff
arctic wind cut across the hill-
side and mussed Sapp's (lark -col-
ored hair. a telling feature of the
Athabascan heritage.
"The more I look at you. the
more you're starting to look like
a Mountain," his uncle, Sitneon
Mountain, said proudly.
Sapp is slowly uncovering the
early details of his life.
His mother was a seamstress
who was raised in Nulato and
later moved to Fairbanks. A color
snapshot from 1961 shows her
smiling brightly with her toddler
son. A spinal condition affected
her height and the child appears
to be half her size.
Sapp had never seen a picture
of his mother before arriving in
Nulato. "There's a sense of love
or caring in her eyes. We looked
like we really belonged together."
He also learned he has a
younger brother, Jeffrey
Stickman, who was raised in the
village by another family. But the
brother changed his last and left
the village in 1985. He has not
been heard from.
When Sapp was 3, his mother
was pregnant and having trouble
caring for him. His mother put
o his Native roots in Nu ato
him up for adoption in Fairbanks.
ignoring pleas to leave her son
with another family in the vil-
lage.
"She thought I'd have more
of a chance in life:: Sapp said.
"She wa.s looking out for what
was best for me."
The young boy was adopted by
a Coast Guard family stationed
in Juneau who had a contact in
the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.
He was 5 when they moved to
Miami.
A year later the couple had a
daughter, and Sapp's life mys-
tery started. He noticed he was
darker than everyorie else. 11
wasn't until age 12 that his par-
ents told him he had Alaska Na-
tive blood. After he turned 18,
his adoptive father told him his
real last name was Mountain.
Sapp came to Alaska for a lime
to work as a commercial fisher-
man. During a stop in Anchor-
age, he combed through the lo-
cal telephone directory in search
of anyone named Mountain. He
found no one. '
He checked his Native corpo-
ration. Cook Inlet Regional Inc.,
for information on his adoption
but was told the Bureau of In-
dian Affairs would not releaae his
birth records.
The search idled until last year,
when Sapp learned through his
adoptive mother that he was from
the village of Nulato and his
mother's name was Luville.
Sapp decided to call directory
assistance and check for any
Mountains listed in Nulato. The
operator gave him the number for
his mother's brother, Simeon
Mountain.
A week passed before he got
up the nerve to make the call.
He prepared a script of questions
and laid it 10001 10 the telephone.
It was March 5:
"I know that day very well,"
Simeon Mountain said.
Mountain, 64, said that when
he answered the phone, the other
person began asking about the
Mountain name. Mountain was
in a hurry because he had to meet
a plane at the airstrip. His mood
changed when Sapp offered his
mother's name. Mountain real-
ized it was his sister's son.
"I couldn't wait for tomor-
row," Mountain said. "I wanted
to make sure who 1 thought he

Regional Forester Phil Janik
said additional review was based

— a move that could come too
late for the Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice. which has made a court
promise to announce its endan-
gered species decision by May 31.
Logging and the listing decision
are linked because the wolf and
goshawk depend on large areas
of old-erowth forest to survive.
If the animals are proposed for
listing, it could further drive

Steve Ambrose. special a,ssis-

Moan s oldest daughter.
Kris Ann, called Sapp that night
and arranged for a conference
call the next day with some of
his relatives in Nubia. Allakaket
and Fairbanks. Kris Ann had pe-
riodically searched for David and
had checked with the Doyon
Corp. about 20 years ago to see
if Sapp's adoptive parents en-
rolled him as a shareholder. All
they knew was his name, David
Wayne Mountain. Without a birth
date, the avenue ended—
"! always hoped and prayed
that we would see him." Kris
Ann said. "Family is very im-
portant."
Sapp has become a quick study
of the culture and is treated as a
favorite son. Villagers welcome
him home and pose for pictures
with him. Some provide details
about his mother.,a woman with
a beautiful voice whom some say
was quite a dancer. Another told
Sapp he dances like a Mountain.
""Fhe most I expected was to

Westside needs space
To the editor:
I would like to ask our As-

city-wide zoning map to address
a major issue tied to Beaver
Lake. The map shows the en-
tire west side of Mill Bay Road,
from Cope Street to VonScheele,
has only two tiny parks and pre-
served open space with the ex-
ception of the Beaver lake area.
Yet the most congested areas in

DISCUSSION
Freed provided copies of the adopted Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Sub -Area plan to all those
in attendance. She also reviewed the discussion that had occurred at the joint worksession
between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Assembly, held on February 27, 1997. At
that worksession, the Assembly gave the Commission direction, to work on tasks that could
allow for a Borough land sale in the Beaver Lake area (in November) as their highest work
priority. Freed displayed an urban area map that showed the boundary of the area included in the
Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Sub -Area Plan. She commented that one of the first tasks the
Commission might want to consider is what is the appropriate boundary for this planning project.
Based on the joint worksession discussion, Commission members recommended enlarging the
area to be considered as part of this planning effort.
The core of the plarming are will be the Beaver Lake area, connected lake system and adjacent
properties. Concern was expressed by Hoffman that the Commission was not allowing for public
participation since the planning area had been expanded to encompass an area larger than was
advertised in the newspaper. The Commission, staff and other attendees discussed this concern at
length. The Commission noted that they fully intended to involve the public in the planning
process, but that they had to start somewhere.
In discussing the possible boundaries of the area under consideration, Lilly Lake was identified.
The consensus was that Lilly Lake was not part of the drainage - watershed area being looked at,
March 5, 1997 Worksession Notes Page 1 of 3
--
and so it could be excluded from the planning area. However, the planning area was expanded to
include trails and recreation areas in the Beaver Lake and contiguous watershed area.
Soughers expressed concern that some of the trails on the Pillar Mountain ridgeline might
become roads in the future (to serve development), and so there is a real need to preserve the area
around Beaver Lake in its natural state. In addition, he expressed the opinion that the community
has lost the use of Island Lake and Dark Lake; that Beaver Lake is the only lake left where a
canoe can be launched.
APPROACHES/SCHEDULING
Discussion then centered on how to tackle this planning project. Several options were discussed:
scoping meetings to identify public concerns; direction to staff to develop a draft plan, to be used
as a means of obtaining public response; and working on the plan in sections.
There was consensus that this project must be broken down into parts in order to be "do -able".
One option discussed was to break the larger planning area into smaller geographical areas to
provide an opportunity for specific neighborhood input. Colwell commented that she was
concerned about social economic, and environmental issues; and she strongly believes that
people in a neighborhood should determine their density. Colwell informed the Commission
about the formation of the Kodiak Wetlands and Watershed Association (KWWA).
This lead to a discussion of issues surrounding Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision and the land
adjacent to Beaver Lake. Colwell stated that the Association and neighbors were concerned about
the cutting of trees in the area and what impact this will have on the environment, especially the
possibility of increased erosion. They are also concerned about the topography, since all the land
in the area slopes down to Beaver Lake, causing negative impacts to the lake. In addition,
development can add to erosion in the area, again with all the drainage in the area leading to
Beaver Lake. Colwell stated that as residents we have a responsibility to be stewards of our
environment.
Hoffman raised a question about why protect the north side of Beaver Lake and the hillside on
the north side of Selief Lane, but not the south side of the lake, since both these areas drain into
the same lake. Cassidy responded that it was an issue of sensitivity, and was related to
topography (steepness of the terrain), wetlands, soils and vegetation. The area on the South side
of Beaver lake is not as environmentally sensitive as the wetland area and the hillside.
Colwell stated that the association feels we need professional answers to the questions raised.
She has personally contacted Anchorage for information. There was some discussion about the
information she had received. Freed noted that she had a great deal of information about non -
point source pollution control techniques, having been involved in the coastal non -point source
pollution control program. Freed will review the information and make it available at the next
meeting.
Scheidler pointed out another approach to the planning process might be to look at systems
common to the entire area, and use an overlay technique. That way the Commission could focus
March 5, 1997 Worksession Notes Page 2 of 3
on issues or topics rather than geographical sub -areas. There was consensus that this approach
seemed the best of those discussed and would provide the public with an opportunity to get
involved in subject areas of concern to them.
The Commission identified the following systems or issues to focus on:
topography, surface water (wetlands, lakes and creeks)
recreation uses (trails and parks)
urban development
community facilities
Staff suggested using air photos of the area as the initial base maps for the project. The
Commission agreed to continue the discussion of this planning project at their next worksession,
on March 26, 1997. The Commission, still in the exploratory stage, asked staff to bring
information and references that can help in the planning process to the meeting. Staff was asked
to advertise the next meeting more broadly, with a map if possible. Staff will also provide the air
photos for the area to get started on the mapping and overlay process. The Commission will try
and focus on the recreation/ trails aspects of the area at the next meeting.

Letter to the editor
Keep Beaver Lake public
To the editor:
I purchased my property 011
Selief Street in 1982 because of
its unique location and it is at
the end of a dead end cul-de-sac
on lake frontage. I built and
moved into my home in January
of 1983 and at that time it was
only the third house on the street.
The problem of Beaver Lake
began in March of 1985 when
the borough submitted a Vaca-
tion and Replat of Lakeside Sub-
division to the P&Z Commission.
After much public testimony,
P&Z denied the proposed subdi-
vision. At that time, Mayor
Jerome Selby felt it was in the
best interest of the borough to
overturn the denial because he
felt that the best use of this land
(Beaver Lake) was not ad-
equately considered even though
a petition of 101 residents told
him otherwise.
Concerned residents of Selief
Street challenged this decision as
the borough mayor's actions
were invalid because it was not
taken at a properly noticed pub-
lic meeting of which a quorum
was required to be present. The
borough pursued this matter at
the expense of taxpayers and fi-
nally on Sept. 5, 1985, the as-
sembly realizing it was wrong re-
scinded their actions and had to
pay for the plaintiffs legal ex-
penses as well.
Then we had to battle a rezon-
ing issue of the lake to prevent
development at the same time
and we received 624 names on a
petition to prevent the Borough
from rezoning and developing the
area around Beaver Lake.
I read where Assembly Mem-
ber Wayne Stevens commented
that before he moved into his
property on Selief it was a swamp
land where people went berry
picking. Well if Mr. Stevens
looks closely today he will see
that what was once a lake is turn-
ing into a swamp and yes people
still go berry picking, hiking, bik-
ing, canoeing, and ice skating on
or around Beaver Lake.
The comment was also made
that we're constantly faced with
"not in my back yard." That's
exactly right. Quit trying to re-
zone and sell those "back yards."
Look carefully at the comprehen-
sive plan and look to the future.
Rezoning and selling the lots
around Beaver Lake is not going
to solve our current education
woes. You cannot fund educa-
tion on the sale of six lots, but
you can destroy the lake and land
around it.
Selief Street is still not paved
to this date because of drainage
problems and wildlife issues. But
yet Mayor Selby wants to again
develop Beaver Lake. The pub-
lic wanted this lake to be public
use land, as it is the last public
lake left where the property sur-
rounding the lake is not privately
owned. Are we going to revisit
Beaver Lake every ten years. or
are we going to realize that this
is the last public area left for thc
community to cnjoy and to leave
it alone?

Govern()
To Assembly Members* Honorable Mayor: 11)
I know that the Assembly is meeting next Thursday with the Planning and Zoning
Commission to give direction for disposal of land, and indications are that you intend
to include parcels close Beaver Lake. My comments tonight are to point you in a
different direction.
If you share the values held my many of our residents of the importance of local lakes,
streams, and wetlands you will be slow in putting lands that lie on either side of
Beaver Lake Drive up for public auction.
Three reasons why these parcels should not be developed at this time include:
(1) Beaver Lake Area is zoned Public Lands and should be held in trust to be used by
the public. Equally important is the fact that Beaver Lake is part of a large watershed
that serves the Selief Lana area and provides habitat for fish and wildlife.
(2) No environmental study has been done that supports further development can be
done without causing irreparable harm to the watershed environment.
(3) Our Borough needs to first put in place and demonstrate good local planning for
environmentally -sensitive areas.
Beaver Lake is part of a very important watershed for those living along Selief Lana Jt
is reasonable to state that if unrestrained development occurs Beaver Lake will
become like Horseshoe Lake, that is, essentially filled-in as a result of road runoff, a
culvert drainage system set up by engineers, and uncontrolled development. It is true
- that homes have been built in a swamp, expedited by need of a boom economy. But
the boom is over and the trend for communities today is to do a better job of planning,
even to revitalize their character. Beaver Lake and Horseshoe Lake areas make an
integral statement about Kodiak and these lakes make our community a much better
place to live.
An incorrect statement that water/sewer stub -outs exist on the Lakeside was reported
in the Feb. 6 issue of the Mirror. However, most worrisome is the belief by members of
the Assembly that "Beaver Lake is the next logical piece to put on the market."
Logical to whom, may I ask?
To a developer? Whose only interest is financial. He does not and will
not be living there
To An account? Who sees land as pots of money. He does not and will
not be living there. _
To a local government that wants to broaden the tax base by selling all
parcels that have access to a road? Beaver Lake is a remaining parcel with road
access.
Or is it logical to the majority of our residents who have nothing to gain financially
who value this natural resource ? No, It is not logical to us at all.
,
It has been said that there are ways to do development, still have a greenbelt and
public access to the lakes.
Maybe I have missed something, but I am unaware of any successful development
including greenbelts on private property in our town. Because of this our local
neighbors do not have confidence that thoughtful development will occur, since private
construction is driven by the harsh reality of high cost and profit.
This is not to say that planning has not been attempted. A close -to -home example of
planning is just opposite the parcels on Selief Lane, i.e. Block 2 of Lakeside
Subdivision. Here a strip of housing units were built next to one of the most opposite
of land uses, the Municipal Airport. In recognition of the conflicting use, the borough
squeezed in a 50' buffer strip behind the lots separating the homes from the airport.
Unfortunately, the borough did not take time to list any buffer zone specifications, such
that it contains trees, or even development restrictions. Since the borough also has no
enforcement powers, people have cut down trees without penalty and walk through
private property at will, occasionally throwing rocks at windows.
The City is now left with the pressure by landowners to pay for the cost of installing a
metal fence along this strip to protect private property. The purpose of the buffer zone
failed and so, we think, will be the failure of a greenbelt and trail around a lake behind
private property.
On the brighter side, we citizens intend to create an organization that address the
concerns of the threat of further development near Beaver Lake. Our goals include
investigating several issues: (1) to measure the environmental impact of tree removal
on Block 3, Lakeside Subdivision; (2) to determine what should be the depth in feet of
an effective greenbelt in Kodiak; (3) what can be done about the consequences of an -
old fashioned culvert drainage system that intentionaliy delivers all road -runoff and
erosion from VonScheele southward into Beaver Lake; (4) and what is required to
protect and preserve this expanse of beauty. And, yes, we will seek funds to set aside
this area for the future of our town and for the character of our town. And, yes, we will
continue working to revitalize the Horseshoe Lake and wetland areas.
Rather than putting these lands on the auction block, I ask that you let us first addrress
the tasks listed above because these need to be done first.
We stand ready to work with you and look forward to a cooperative effort to enable this
to succeed., Thank you very much.

by the public; 2) no environmental study had been
done that supported further development without
harming the environment; and 3) the Borough needed to
demonstrate good local planning for environmentally -
sensitive areas. She explained the intent of the
citizens of the area to create an organization that
addressed issues and looked forward to working with
the Assembly before any action was taken.
Assemblymember Milligan asked if the residents were
aware that greenbelts usually raised property taxes.
Ms. Colwell told of her submittal of a plan with
buffer zones as greenbelt depths around lakes in the
area needed studying.
Ellen cloudy, Selief Lane resident, stated the
definition of greenbelt in Kodiak did not include
trees. She pointed to Doneen Tweetenls letter in the
Kodiak Daily Mirror that stated the sale of six lots
would not take care of our education funding woes,
but development could ruin the lake. It was also her
intention to work with the Planning & Zoning
Commission.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Assemblymember Milligan reported on the Hospital
Advisory Board meeting where the lease agreement with
Providence was discussed and a recommendation
formulated. He noted increases in the budget due to

Letter to the editor
Beaver Lake educational
To the editor:
In the Feb. 7 Mirror article
"Lake Land Sale Talk Stirs the
Neighbors," an assembly mem-
ber stated that the land around
Beaver Lake should be sold to
create a tax base to fund educa-
tion.
To lay the blame on the backs
of educators for selling environ-
mentally sensitive lands was an
unfortunate comment. I believe
that if I took each educator on
this tour of the area they would
say "no" to selling the land in
the name of education.
My field trip begins at the deep
stream on the north end of Beaver
Lake which connects to Dark Lake.
Reminders of past beaver activity
will be apparent as we pass a small
cluster of knawed tree stumps be-
fore heading south along the peace-
ful lake bank. Eventually we will
leave Beaver Lake and take a short
hike along Selief Lane to follow
the inadromous stream along the
roadside which soon loops behind
private homes. Once there, the
natwal scene will open into a broad
expanse of true wetlands, support-
ing Coho salmon and waterfowl.
The trip will be an education in chm
itself.
Farther south - sits Horseshoe
Lake. This is another educational
opportunity because the poor
conditions of this lake, which was
cut in -half by Selief Lane, clearly
demonstrate the negative impacts
of filling-in from road runoff and
uncontrolled development.
If the assembly member's com-
ments are true, then in the name
of education we should destroy
this environment to pay for the
costs of education so students can
read' of living watersheds in
books.

Letters to the editor
Land sale not in report
To the editor:
I was stunned when read-
ing the Feb. 7 Mirror quote
that the assembly was look-
ing to sell Beaver Lake lands
based upon comments made
during the Town Meeting "to
enable economic develop-
ment."
I was not able to attend the
Town Meeting but have now
read the report several times.
In my opinion, The Town
Meeting Report is important
because it identifies many is-
sues facing our community.
The overall theme seems to
try to enable us to strive for
better community harmony
and quality of life, and many
proposed actions are listed.
However, selling frontage
land of Beaver Lake is not
listed as a proposed action for
economic development.
"Economic development" pri-
marily refers to development
of seafood and tourism indus-
tries and finding cheaper en-
ergy sources (Proposed Ac-
tions, #2, Page 3).
I urge you to thoroughly
read the report, particularly
"The Vision" page. Five ele-
ments of the vision identifies
"Preserved Natural Environ-
ment" and "High Quality of
Life," including protecting
the environment, controlled
development, and beautifica-
tion. The small area of land
encompassing Beaver Lake is
the very thing that the Town
Meeting recommends as part
of the Vision.
This land offers a breath-
taking and peaceful walk for
any traveler along Selief
Lane and it should remain for
all to share. I am deeply con-
cerned that we will lose this
value of beauty.
If more land needs to be
put up for public auction,
thoughtful planning and care-
ful evaluation of the impacts
of development need to be
weighed first. Sadly, Beaver
Lake land has been selected
because it simply is a parcel
of land that does not require
the building of a road for ac-
cess.
—Brenda Kramer
We need green space
• To the editor:
Last Thursday and Friday's
Daily,Mirror contained front
page articles concerning land
sales, and particularly sales
of land around Beaver Lake.
Once again my neighbors
and I find ourselves debat-
ing with the Borough govern-
ment over what to do with
the land around Beaver Lake.
The comment attributed to
Mr. Heinrichs' that this land
is the next logical piece to
put on the market because it
has water and sewer stub outs
s incorrect. The Engineering
Department has confirmed
that no water and sewer stub
outs exist on that section of
Selief Lane.
At Thursday nights Bor-
ough meeting response to my
testimony and that of others
was to characterize us as
anti -development. If I were to
ccept this argument, then
green spaces, public places
and parks would have no
placein the idea of develop-
ment. However we all know
that these are just the type of
quality of life issues that
make the difference between
the type of place people en-
joy living in and are able to
feei a: part of versus the type'
of area where citizens feel no
such attachment.
This land was originally
zoned Public Use and still
carries that designation today.
It has been the contention of
myself and others that the
zoning designation of Natu-
ral Use is better suited to this
land. That option did not ex-
ist when the original Compre-
hensive Plan was developed.
I would hope that the Bor-
ough would be able to rec-
ognize that Kodiak needs
green places that are avail-
able to all citizens. It is time
that we recognize that just
because land is sitting in its
natural state does not auto-
matically mean it is surplus,
is a waste is a loss. These
natural areas are assets that
we should be protecting for
the enjoyment of current and
future residents.

OPINION
Shuyak in
spotlight
This last week seems to have
been Shuyak Island week.
Representative Austemtan and
I both have introduced legisla-
tion that would complete the
transfer of all borough lands
and state lands on the island
into Shuyak Island State Park.
The two identical bills are SB
64 and HB 89. First. there was
a hearing of,SB 64 in the Sen.-,
ate Community and Regional
Affairs Committee last
—
Wednesday. Then tift-HOuse
Community and Regional Af-
fairs committee heard HB 89
on Monday.
The Shuyak Island land pro-
posal is a result of the Valdez
oil spill and subsequent efforts,
by state and federal authorities
to recover or replace lost fish
and wildlife habitat. Last year
the Oil Spill Trustee Council
selected and purchased the
borough's Shuyak Island lands
for the purpose of protecting
their habitat values. The con-
solidation of these lands under
a single management with all
other state lands on the island
was a , desired feature of the

transaction. The state park is
especially suited for this pur-
pose. The legislation expands
the park boundaries to include
the additional lands. There are
no new restrictions or changes
to the park's original purposes
in the bills.
Both -bilis passed out of their
respective committees on to the
resource committees. The one
change adopted was to further
identify and strengthen the pro-
tection of commercial fishing ac-
tivities in the park. Mayor Selby
gave a good presentation of the
Kodiak community's strong sup-
port for the park expansion. The
only negative concern on the
Senate side was the prohibited
use of ATVs. I expect this con-
cern to be further discussed in
the Resources Committee.
The fishery business tax incen-
tive bill has moved on to the Re-
sources Committee also. I am
currently surveying all Alaska
processors .for information on
how they used the incentive pro-
gram in the past and an indica-
tion of what benefits may be ex-
pected for the future. I believe
this infonnation will be impor-
tant to the success of the bill.

Lake land sale talk
stirs the neighbors
By SUE JEFFREY
Mirror Writer
The borough assembly took
plenty of heat last night from
Selief Lane neighbors who oppose
plans to develop land on Beaver
Lake.
"The article in tonight's paper
sent shock waves up and down
Selief Lane," said Ellen Cloudy.
Residents have been waiting for
the next step to continue work on
a comprehensive plan for the
Horseshoe Lake -Beaver Lake area,
but it sounds now that decisions
have been made already, Cloudy
said.
Though the assembly was not
taking action on the Beaver Lake
property at last night's meeting,
residents were responding to an
article in the Kodiak Daily Mirror
yesterday which reported that the
assembly is considering plans to
sell surplus borough lands, includ-
ing property in Larsen Bay, Bell's
Flats, Monashka Bay and the Bea-
ver Lake area on Selief Lane. The
borough would sell the property
at a land sale tentatively sched-
uled for November.
In recent years neighbors have
successfully fought plans to de-
velop land on Beaver Lake and
Frank Miles and Kathy Colwell,
president of the Horseshoe Lake
Community Association, told the
assembly they will continue to do
so.
"With fish in the lake and other
animals in the area, the area is bet-
ter served in its natural state. I
would like to see a park," Miles
said.
Colwell said the group is not
anti -development and has consis-
tently supported residential devel-
opment of wooded property along
Selief which is currently zoned
light industrial.
"We just oppose development
of land right next to the lake. Fur-
ther development on the lake will
further the demise of that lake sys-
tem."
Colwell said neighbors have a
duty to struggle to keep their
neighborhood good. Referring to
a comment at last night's meet-
ing, she said, "It's not a case of
not in my back yard.' It's the prin-
ciple—how many towns have
lakes and streams within the city?
Look what development has done
to Horseshoe Lake. The borough

C -1 30s to stay here
The Coast Guard's six C -130s will remain in Kodiak, said Kodiak
Island Borough Mayor Jerome Selby at last night's borough assem-
bly meeting. He said he has been notified that the funding has been

"At the town meeting many
people said they wanted the bor-
ough to free up borough lands for
economic development. That's
why we're looking at it," said as-
sembly member Dr. Bob Johnson.
Wayne Stevens, an assembly
member who lives on Selief Lane,
said he is frustrated with the
community's expectations of the
borough to fund education with-
out asking the public to pay for it.
"We're constantly faced with
the attitude of not in my back
yard'—don't do any development,
don't raise my taxes but fund edu-
cation.
"If it weren't for development,
no one would be living on Selief

to do development and still have

In a recent interview, Robin
Heinrichs, borough assembly
presiding officer and a former P
& Z,commissioner, said the par-
cel on Beaver Lake is the next
logical piece to put on the mar-
ket.
"The infrastructure is already

Heinrichs, who is also a local con-

indicated it was publi,c,use land. She saw a need for

In August, Randy Chase was handed two heat -
up Chevy Blazers, complete with camouflage
paint and dents in the hoods.
'This week Chase, the owner of RC Enter-
prises, unveiled the result of months of work
— a shiny, jet-black vehicle for the police Drug
Abuse Resistance Education program.
The department's D.A.R.E. officers, Michael
McCarthy and Terry Ash, will use the vehicle
to travel to Kodiak schools.
McCarthy said the eye-catching D.A.R.E. ve-
hicles are common in the Lower 48, but this
will be the first introduced in Alaska. He said it
is a sign the community supports the D.A.R.E.
program, which preaches an anti-drug and vio-
lence message to local elementary school chil-
dren.
Local merchants and organizations contrib-
uted more than $6,000 in money and services
to bring the D.A.R.E. vehicle to the Kodiak
Police Department.
They say it is money well -spent.
"Kodiak really needs a program like this,"
said Chase, who donated about $3,000 of his
own work to the vehicle. "It's a shame to see.
what happens to some kids as they go through
school, and school is really where it all starts."
The black Blazer is designed to he a flashy,
attention -grabbing vehicle, providing a "visual
reinforcement" of the D.A.R.E, message to stu-
dents.
Making it a reality, however, wasn't easy.
The idea started when the Kodiak Police De-
partment landed two free Blazers from the U.S.
Amy as part of a military surplus program.
Chase, who volunteered to refurbish one to make
the D.A.R.E. vehicle, actually had to use parts
from both to make one usable Blazer.
It was quite a project," he said. "When the
government had those, they used them."
Chase did get plenty of help with the project.
Warner Tire and Yamaha provided wheel rims,
Coverific Upholstery put in black leather seats,
Sears chipped in tires, Napa Auto Parts donated
running boards, and the Chief Petty Officers
Auxiliary Aisociation purchased the D.A.R.E.
decals covering the Blazer.
When all the donations were totaled, police
actually ended up with a free vehicle.
"I think it shows the community is unified
behind this," McCarthy said. "It's a message
that the community supports this program."
Fall sale may be broadened
to include surplus boro land
By SUE JEFFREY
Mirror Writer
The borough assembly will
hold a public hearing at tonight's
borough meeting before deciding
whether to sell foreclosed prop-
erty.
The assembly is also consider-
ing plans to sell surplus borough
lands, including property. in
Larsen Bay, Bell's Flats,
Monashka Bay and the Beaver
Lake area on Selief Lane. Both
foreclosed and surplus property
would be sold at a land sale ten-
tatively scheduled for November.
Though neighbors on Selief
have protested development plans
on Beaver Lake in past years,
saying they prefer the area to be
zoned natural use, Robin
Heinrichs, borough assembly pre-
siding officer, said the parcel on
Beaver Lake is the next logical
piece to put on the market.
"The infrastructure is already
there. Sewer and water stub -outs
were put in with Selief Lane,"
said Heinrichs, who is also a lo-
cal contractor. In recent "goals
and objectives" work sessions,
the assembly concurred that bor-
ough surplus lands need to be
sold to broaden the tax base, he
said.
The piece on Beaver Lake is
currently zoned public lands,

they're concentrated in an area cast

they fill their boats, deliveries
should start to pick up next week."
Despite the crabs' high num-
bers, though, they are smaller this
year than in years past.
"They're averaging about 1.2
pounds each," Gish said. "Last
year, they were more than two
pounds apiece. The lower av-

and utility installations.
Though in the preliminary
planning stages, Heinrichs envi-
sions the property to be zoned
residential and include a walk-
ing path around the lake _front,
which would preserve public ac-
cess to the lake. Developing plans
and re -zoning takes months,
Heinrichs said, so the assembly
wants to begin the process this
winter.
Bud Cassidy, borough re-
source management officer, said
because the Beaver Lake prop-
erty is public land, not private
property, the community has a
say in how the parcel is devel-
oped. It takes a long-range per-
spective to outline development.
"Though the state says
Kodiak's population decreased
last year, planning is based on
projections, what will be needed
in 50 years—sewer -systems,
roads, utilities, roads, schools.
We're planning for the 21st Cen-
thry," Cassidy said.
One local realtor says build-
able residential lots with water
and sewer are in demand now.
Bonnie Aulabaugh, owner of
Chelsea Realty, says contractors
who want to build spec houses
will welcome the news that more
lots soon may be on the market.
"Despite a surplus of rentals
on the market this year,"
Aulabaugh says, "home sales are
brisk and contractors are eager
to fill the.demand."
Aulabaugh could not estimate
the market value of property in
the Beaver Lake area without
knowing lot sizes and amenities
such as views. adjacent walking
paths. etc.
"An average city lot on water
and sewer -7.500 square feet
with no view, nothing special—
sells between $25,000 and
$35,000. To build an average -size
home, it costs $100 to $110 a
square foot, including the price
of the lot. If you add extras such
as skylights and ceramic tile, the
cost goes up from there."
But Lloyd Benton, a broker at
Associated Island Brokers, says
the need for residential lots
strictly depends on the area.
"We've seen a definite drop in
demands for buildable lots over
the last year. Lee Russell has
10,000-12,000 square -foot lots
(extension of Woodland Acres
subdivision between Rezanof
Drive and Spruce Cape Road)
selling roughly for $35,000 and
we're not getting much of a re-
sponse," Benton said. "Perhaps
people are going through contrac-
tors rather than coming directly
to us."
Both surplus and foreclosed
property will be sold at fair mar-
ket value. Unless the borough
code is changed, the borough
must use the fair market value as
the starting price, not the amount
of property taxes owed on the
property.
The foreclosed parcels which
the borough acquired from the
1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 tax
years, include six pieces on the
road system and seven remote
sites around the island. The pre-
vious landowner can recoup the
property up until the time of the
sale by paying delinquent taxes
and foreclosure process costs in-
curred by the borough. If the
property is sold, the proceeds first
pay delinquent taxes bills and
borough foreclosure costs. Any
remaining equity then -goes to the
previous owncr.

Re: Borough Wetlands and Upper Horseshoe Lake, Selief Lane area
Dear Linda:
Several months ago the Horseshoe Lake Community Association addressed a
joint meeting of KIB Assembly Members and Planning and Zoning Commissioners
requesting a rezoning of wetlands in USS 2538A, Tract A. The Assembly directed the
Commissioners to review the area and to also include in the review borough
properties adjacent to Beaver Lake.
We are appreciative of the time the Commissioners and your staff have
dedicated to this project. We would like to learn if any recommendations have been
finalized regarding Tract A, USS 2538A. Also some discussion by your staff had
occurred with Lee Russell owner of Lot 20 in USS 1396, commonly known as Upper
Horseshoe Lake. Mt Russell was requesting a land trade of this small °pond" for a
small piece of property in the Borough. Since this trade could enable the struggling
preservation of the pond, as Mr. Russell is a developer, we have great interest in the
outcome of the discussions with Mr. Russell.
Please advise us of the status of these lands so our organization can move in
the proper direction.
Thank you very much!

Selief Lane/Horseshoe Lake Fie d Trip
This field trip toured the Horseshoe Lake, hillside and wetlands vicinity of the area proposed
for rezone from RR1 to NU -Natural Use. Present on the field trip were 5 commissioners and
3 property owners including Ellen Cloudy, Frank Miles and Richard Hoffman.
Starting from the road spur at Beaver Jake, the group walked westerly through the wetlands
behind the houses along Selief Lane. Observing the fragile beauty of the wetlands and steep,
potentially unstable slopes of the hillside, the group's consensus was that the area should
appropriately be rezoned to NU -Natural Use in the interest of preserving it and the ecosystem
created by the chain of lakes.
There was discussion how far up the slopes the area designated as natural use should extend,
and whether or not it should reach all the way to the watershed district surrounding the upper
reservoirs. As was the case on the trails earlier around Beaver Lake, the negative impacts of
ATV traffic was readily apparent. However, it was also obvious from encountering a number
of people that the trails along the system were well used for a variety of recreational purposes.
The tour finished with a walk back down Selief Lane from the reservoir and observation of the
houses that have been developed in the filled area of what was, at one time, an extension of
Horseshoe Lake. The Commission Chairman gave direction to staff to proceed with the
rezone to NU -Natural Use to protect the wetlands and recreational amenities of the area.

SUBJECT: Selief Lane/Beaver Lake Field Trip
This field trip focused on the Beaver Lake vicinity of the proposed rezone area with a walking
tour of the trails between the lake and Selief and Beaver Lake Loop roads where subdivision
and disposal of lots has been proposed. Included in the walk and discussion was the area
immediately adjacent to the low-income housing and Block 3 of Lakeside Subdivision,
presently vacant and zoned LI -Light Industrial.
Present on the field trip were 6 commissioners, 1 Assembly member, and 5 property owners in
the immediate vicinity of Beaver Lake, including Donene Tweeten, Ellen Cloudy, Brenda
Kramer, and Richard and Faimafili Hoffman.
Concern was expressed by neighboring property owners about degradation of the lake caused
by excavation and loss of trees. The point was made by a commissioner that the infrastructure
(roads, water, sewer) was already in and should be taken advantage of to make affordable
residential lots available to the public and generate revenues through property sales.
Neighbors were also concerned that, even if greenbelts were designated to protect the
perimeter of the lake, lack of enforcement would make it ineffective. Staff emphasized that
the design of lots could take any form necessary to protect the lake, create a trail, and address
density concerns. It was emphasized that, contrary to some of the neighbors' understanding,
the PL -Public Lands Zoning District permitted many uses and structural development of
varying degrees of intensity and was not only for park designation.
There was discussion that Block 3 would be more suitable for residential development rather
than industrial as presently zoned, and that, as a result, there might be less pressure to
subdivide and dispose of lots along Beaver Lake where slopes from Selief Lane to the water
surface were more extreme.
Due to deteriorating weather, it was decided to schedule another field trip at a later date to
focus on the area around Horseshoe Lake, the reservoir, the wetlands, and the hillside.

SELIEF LANE REZONE
L INTRODUCTION
We are discussing two issues tonight. They are a result of the joint Assembly/P&Z
worlcsession last fall. The issues are as follows:
1. A desire to preserve land behind the Selief Lane area. This area is thought by
many to be sensitive lands that should be reserved. It includes wetland and steep
slope areas behind the residential area of Selief Lane .
2. A review of land between Beaver Lake and Selief Lane
11. SELIEF LANE SENSITIVE LANDS.
Kathy Colwell and the Horseshoe Lake Community Council have requested that this area
be looked at with an eye to protect the land because of its sensitive nature. That is,
drainage from a large watershed that includes Pillar Mountain finds its way into the ditch
running along Selief Lane. During times of high water the ditch fills with water and floods
adjacent residences. John Sullivan, Director of City of Kodiak Public Works says this last
occurred in 1995.
The wetlands and hillside probably play an important role in encouraging or preventing
flooding on a more regular basis. The wetland acts as a sponge soaking up and holding
water while the hillside, though channeling water toward Selief Lane, is vegetated also
holding back water. The removal of vegetation both from the hillside and the wetland will
encourage more water to flow into the Selief Land drainage because vegetation removal
reduces the absorption capability, of these areas.
The group is asking for a more protected status for the area both in terms of making it
hands off from development but goes further asking that 4 -wheelers not be allowed.
A. COMMISSION ACTION •
The commission must investigate the following
1. the merits of the request
2. define the boundaries of the area
3. initiate a rezone
4. hold public hearings and make a recornmendation to the Assembly.
B. STAFF SUPPORT
We have provided a number of maps that identify the wetland areas as well as the
topographic information that identifies steep slopes.
This. information is provided in the following maps:
1. USGS 1:25,000 Quad sheet. Kodiak (d-2) SE Alaska
2. Borough's orthographic (photo) maps
3. Proposed subdivision of the area.
These three sources are pinned up on the board.
Staff has the same concerns as the Horseshoe Lake Community Council. In fact, we
have participated in committee called THE SELIEF LANE TASK FORCE that was
created to address the flooding that occurred along Selief Lane during high rain events.
These are certainly sensitive lands. ADF&G have identified the Selief Land ditch as an
anadromous fish stream . The area has a high water,table. The drainage ditch along Selief
drains a large watershed. There is a bone -a -fide need to retain these lands into some sort
of public land classification. At issue is how much and where. Most of the sensitive lands
are owned by the public, but there is private land in the area. Should these be included as
sensitive lands?
III. BEAVER LAKE SUBDIVISION
This conceptual subdivision design is before t he conunission because the issue arose
during the joint Assembly/P&Z last fall. It is a portion of a larger subdivision that was
proposed by the Borough in 1984.
The Borough is pursuing this portion of the original subdivision because of the growth of
the neighborhood, the development of the Safeway node of business development, the
presence of water and sewer utilities. It is also being renewed because of the physical
damage this parcel has received (thee and four wheeler damage, unlawful tree removal,
and garbage dumping).
The BorouglV s proposal is a combination residential / public retention area. The
development would allow for development but dedicate some of the money to_ construct
improvements (at this time a bike trail around the south side of the lake).
Development here is close to shopping, restaurants and banking. It is located on a paved
street that is served with power and water and sewer. Without sounding too much like a
real estate agent, it is desirable property that can set a development trend of having
improvements but also providing amenities to the neighborhood.
COMMISSION ACTION
A. Discuss merits of the subdivision
B. Direct staff to pursue disposal action and/or subdivision design. .

B. Conditional uses must minimize the impact on the natural environment and shall preserve,
to the maximum extent feasible and prudent', natural features. Specifically;
1, Conditional uses in upland habitats must retain natural vegetation coverage, natural
drainage patterns, prevent excessive runoff and erosion, and maintain surface water quality and
natural groundwater recharge areas; and
2. Conditional uses in estuaries, tideflats, and wetlands must assure water flow, natural
circulation patterns, and adequate nutrient and oxygen levels.
C. Although a particular conditional use may constitute a minor change, the cumulative effect
of numerous piecemeal changes can result in a major impairment of the environment. The
particular site for which a conditional use application is made will be evaluated with the
recognition that it may be part of a complete and interrelated environmental area. (Ord. 89-04-0
§2(part), 1989).
17.12.100 Fences, parking, and signs. Fences, parking areas, and signs are permitted when
they dre necessary for the use of the property for a permitted and/or approved conditional use.
(Ord, 89-04-0 §2(part), 1989).
Feasible and prudent means consistent with sound engineering
practices and not causing environmental, social, or economic
problems that outweigh the public benefit to be derived from
compliance with the condition which is modified by the term
"feasible and prudent."

SELIEF LANE REZONE
L INTRODUCTION
We are discussing two issues tonight. They are a result ofthe joint Assembly1
worksession last fall. The issues are as follows:
1. A desire to preserve land behind the Selief Lane area. This area is thought by
many to be Sensitive lands that should be reserved. It includes wetland and steep
slope areas behind the residential area of Selief Lane .
2. A review of land between Beaver Lake and Selief Lane '
11. SELIEF LANE SENSITIVE LANDS.
Kathy Colwell and the Horseshoe Lake Community Council have requested that this area
be looked at with an eye to protect the land because of its sensitive nature. That is,
drainage from a large watershed that includes Pillar Mountain finds its way into the ditch
running along Selief Lane. During times of high water the ditch fills with water and floods
adjacent residences. John Sullivan, Director of City ofKodiak Public Works says this last
occurred in 1995.
The wetlands and hillside probably play an important role inencouraging or preventing
flooding on a more regular basis. The wetland acts as a sponge soaking up and holding
water while the hillside, though channeling water toward Selief Lane, is vegetated also
holding back water. The removal of vegetation both from the hillside and the wetland will
encourage more water to flow into the Selief Land drainage because vegetation removal
reduces the absorption capability of these areas.
The group is asking for a more protected status for the area both in terms of making it
hands off from development but goes further asking that 4 -wheelers not be allowed.
A. COMMISSION ACTION
The commission must investigate the following
1. the merits of the request
2. define the boundaries of the area
3. initiate a rezone
4, hold public hearings and make a recommendation to the Assembly.
B. STAFF SUPPORT
We have provided a number of maps that identify the wetland areas as well as the
topographic information that identifies steep slopes.
This. information is provided in the following maps:
I. USGS 1:25,000 Quad sheet, Kodiak (d-2) SE Alaska
2. Borough's orthographic (photo) maps
3. Proposed subdivision of the area.
These three sources are pinned up on the board.
Staff has the same concerns as the Horseshoe Lake Community Council In fact, we
have participated in committee called THE SELIEF LANE TASK FORCE that was
created to address the flooding that occurred along Selief Lane during high rain events.
These are certainly sensitive lands. ADF&G have identified the Selief Land ditch as an •
anadromous fish stream. The area has a high water table. The drainage ditch along Selief
drains a large watershed. There is a bone -a -fide need to retain these lands into some sort
of public land classification. At issue is how much and where. Most of the sensitive lands
are owned by the public, but there is private land in the area. Should these be included as
sensitive lands?
III. BEAVER LAKE SUBDIVISION
This conceptual subdivision design is before t he commission because the issue arose
during the joint Assembly/P&Z last fall. It is a portion of a larger subdivision that was
proposed by the Borough in 1984.
The Borough is pursuing this portion of the original subdivision because of the growth of
the neighborhood, the development of the Safeway node of business development, the
presence of water and sewer utilities. It is also being renewed because of the physical
damage this parcel has received (three and four wheeler damage, unlawful tree removal,
and garbage dumping).
The Boroughis proposal is a combination residential / public retention area. The
development would allow for development but dedicate some of the money to, ismstruct
improvements (at this time a bike trail around the south side of the lake).
Development here is close to shopping, restaurants and banking. It is located on a paved
street that is sesved with power and water and sewer. Without sounding too much like a
real estate agent, it is desirable property that can set a development trend of having
improvements but also providing amenities to the neighborhood.

MEMORANDUM
August 27, 1985
Jerome Selby, Borough Manager
Community Development Departmen
Item for the September 5, 1985 Assembly Meeting
Request to rezone the "Lakeside Subdivision Area"
The request for the rezoning of the Lakeside Subdivision area originated from
two sources: a request by the property owner (the Kodiak Island Borough) and
a motion of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on
August 21, 1985 made a motion recommending that this area be rezoned.
Recommendation
The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission moved to recommend
that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly rezone:
Lots 2 through 9 and 11 through 19, Block 2, Lakeside Subdivision revised
preliminary plat (S-84-016 revised April 22, 1985) from I --Industrial to
RI—Single-family Residential;
Lots 1 and 10, Block 2; Lot 10, Block 3; and Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, Lakeside
Subdivision revised preliminary plat (S-84-016 revised April 22, 1985) from
I --Industrial and C --Conservation to PL --Public Use Lands;
Lots 1 through 17, Block 3, Lakeside subdivision First Addition
from RR1--Rural Residential •One to I --Industrial;
Lots 2 through 28, Block 4, Lakeside Subdivision First Addition
from RR1--Rural Residential One to PL --Public Use Lands;
(S-85-012)
(S-85-012)
Lot 1 and Wetland Tract, Block 4, Lakeside Subdivision First Addition
(S-85-012) from RR1--Rural Residential One to PL --Public Use Lands; and
Portions of Tract A, U.S. Survey 2538A; Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3467; and U.S.
Survey 3468 (approximately 64 acres) from RR1--Rural Residential One to
PL --Public Use Lands.
Section 17.72.020 of the Borough Code states that the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall report in writing to the Borough Assembly on any proposed
change or amendment regardless of the manner in which such change is initiated
and such report shall find:
10. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North:
South:
East:
West:
See presentation map.
11. Comprehensive Plan: The 1968 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as
public and open space. A small portion of the area lying north of the
Municipal Airport is shown as light industrial.
12. Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of
the Borough Code are applicable to this request:
Chapter 17.72 Amendments and Changes. Section 17.72..030 Manner of
Initiation. Changes in this title may be initiated by B. The Planning
and Commission upon its own motion and C. By petition of one or more
owners of property within an area proposed to be rezoned.
COMMENTS:
This rezone request originates from two sources: a request by the property
owner (Kodiak Island Borough) and a motion of the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion. The requests by the property owner and Commission are different for 27
lots (Lots 2 through 28, Block 4) in Lakeside Subdivision First Addition. The
Planning Commission motion on this rezone requested PL --Public Use Lands
zoning for these lots. The application from the owner requested the
R1—Single-family Residential zone for these lots. A portion of the proposed
rezone area along Beaver Lake has recently received preliminary subdivision
approval (Lakeside Subdivision and Lakeside Subdivision First Addition) It
should be noted that this rezone request is totally independent of the two
subdivision cases.
Issues to be addressed in this rezone include conformance with the comprehen-
sive plan, compatibility with existing and potential land uses, separation of
incompatible land uses, and traffic impacts and adequate access.
Comprehensive Plan
The 1968 comprehensive plan identifies the majority of this area as public and
open space and a small portion north of the Municipal Airport as light indus-
trial. The requested Public Use Lands, R1 and R2 zones are essentially
consistent with the comprehensive plan. More than 60 percent of the rezone
area is proposed for Public Use Lands, and these areas generally have steep
slopes or wetland/marshy conditions that are not suitable for other types of
development. The areas proposed for residential zoning districts generally
have gentle slopes, are covered predominantly with spruce trees, and appear to
be well drained.
Compatibility with Existing and Potential Land Uses
The proposed zoning classifications represent a traditional hierarchy of
zoning districts which should lead to development that is compatible with
Case No. 85-052 August 21, 1985
existing land uses in the area. The arrangement of the requested districts
should also result in compatible development within the rezone area. This is
accomplished through the use of buffer strips, zoned Public Use Lands, that
are located between the zoning districts that permit differing intensities of
land use.
For example, a greenbelt area zoned PL is proposed between those areas
currently zoned Industrial and all proposed residential areas. Additional
separation of industrial and residential classifications is provided in some
areas by a combination of a greenbelt and adjacent road right-of-way. The
proposed block of R2 zoning is separated from proposed R1 areas by Beaver Lake
Loop. Lastly, the land uses permitted under R1 and R2 residential zoning
along the extension of Selief Lane will be compatible with the existing
single-family residential uses along this road.
Separation of Incompatible Land Uses
As identified above, the proposed zoning classifications provide adequate
separation of incompatible land uses (residential and industrial) through
provision of greenbelt areas zoned Public Use Lands. Additional separation is
provided in some areas by a combination of greenbelts and road rights-of-way.
Traffic Impacts
The largest impact resulting from this rezone is likely to be traffic. Any
development of this area will result in increased traffic on the surrounding
road system. At present, all traffic generated along Selief Lane must use
Thorsheim or Birch streets to reach the nearest arterial road (Mill Bay).
With the extension of Selief Lane to Von Scheele Way, an additional outlet to
Mill Bay Road will be available for land uses within the rezone area and for
existing residences along Selief Lane. As a result, the overall traffic flow
situation should be improved with the Selief Lane extension. This fact was
even recognized in the 1968 Comprehensive Plan, which projected a Belief Lane
extension to Von Scheele Way. Therefore, the land uses permitted under the
proposed rezoning should not have adverse traffic impacts on the surrounding
road system or land uses.
Summary
Evaluation of the potential impacts of this rezone leads to the conclusion
that the requested zoning classifications are consistent with the comprehen-
sive plan, appropriate for the land in question, will result in development
that is compatible with existing development in the surrounding area, will
provide for adequate buffers and separation of incompatible land uses, and
will not result in adverse traffic impacts.
Regarding Lots 2 through 28, Block 4, Lakeside Subdivision First Addition, the
question of which requested zoning district (111 or PL) is the most appropriate
is debatable. The physical characteristics of the lots, their location, and
relationship to surrounding proposed zoning districts would indicate that
either requested zone is appropriate. As the lots are designed and have
received preliminary plat approval for residential development, the staff
recommendation for rezoning these lots is to RI—Single-family Residential.
Case No. 85-052 August 21, 1985
3. The granting of the variance will not result in materi-
damages or prejudice to other properties in the vicinit
be detrimental to the public's health, safety, and welfa:
Granting of the variance will not result in material damage
or prejudice to other properties in the area. The use and
density of the property will remain the same, and granting
the variance will not result in a change in the character of
the neighborhood.
4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
objectives of the comprehensive plan which identifies this
area for mobile home courts.
5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special
conditions or financial hardship from which relief is being
sought by the variance.
Actions of the applicant did not cause the conditions from
which relief is being sought by a variance. This variance
request will be decided prior'to removal of the existing
mobile home.
6. That the granting of the variance will not permit a
prohibited land use in the district involved.
Mobile homes as single-family residences are permitted in
this district.
D) CASE 85-052. Request for an investigation of the rezoning of:
Lots 1 through 9 and 11 through 19, Block 2, and Lot 8, Block
1, Lakeside Subdivision Revised Preliminary Plat (5-84-016
Revised April 22, 1985) from I --Industrial, to R1—Single-family

in accordance with Chapter 17.72 (Amendments and Changes) of the
Borough Code.
COMMISSIONER KNIGHT requested to be excused for a possible
conflict of interest for CASES 85-052 and 85-053. COMMISSIONER
GREGG excused COMMISSIONER KNIGHT.
BOB PEDERSON indicated that 145 public hearing notices were

that showed the topography and character of the land to a use
rather than RR1-residential. A petition from the residents in the
neighborhbod showed their support for a rezone. She showed slides
of the property, especially where 4 -wheeler activity was damaging
the area, particularly in the stream areas.
She noted that: a) a recent study showed hillside sediments were
unstable because of water --would not support residences; b) vital
part of watershed area; c) streams carry salmon; and d) water fowl.
The block of land does not lend itself to residences.
The Association wants to put up a fence and educate people in that
the area was special. Changing the block would doom'Horseshoe Lake
and also would cause serious flooding.
Mayor Selby agreed the area was a wetlands with steep areas that
were not conducive to residential. He suggested including the area
from the old dam to over the ridge line and front side of Beaver
Lake as a buffer around the lake but to allow the area stubbed out
to be completed.

After discussion, it was remanded to the Commission for further
review.
Bear Refuge
Jay Ballenger, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Brad Meiklejohn,
Alaska representative for Conservation Fund were present.
The debate was to give the Commission and Assembly a common
knowledge about the foreclosed parcels. The Assembly would be able
to direct the Commission toward their desires.
Regarding the archeological sites, Ballenger said if there were in
the bear refuge, Rick Knecht, archeologist, could get a permit to
dig there.
Ballenger's main interest was in protecting public resources and
access. Some of the lands were now in a negotiating phase to come
back to the Refuge. The interest was in lands near those and land
with public access and resources.
Me pointed out Amok Island never was in the Refuge. There was no
interest in the land at Larsen Bay or the head of Larsen Bay,
Carlsen Point, and West of Amok Island from Parks north. He
pointed out Carlsen Point was rich in archeological sites and was
really good anchorage and, therefore, it might be well the borough
retains those parcels.
He noted that it was better if people congregated in one to leave
room in the Refuge for the bears rather than people sparsely
located within the Refuge..
Meiklejohn saw the Conservation Fund's role to appease all parties
in purchasing properties for fair market value and give the Refuge
first choice of purchase.
After considerable discussion, Friend thought the Commission has
some direction in moving ahead and agreed that, with this meeting,
confusion would be avoided when it comes before the Assembly. He
added it would help in making a decision and recommendation. Staff
agreed.
The Assembly countered they wanted an entirely objective
description and point of view without a given -the Refuge would get
parcels. Matrixing and scoring the parcels for Refuge, Borough, or
.public sale was suggested, including Borough retention of some
sites for public access to the Refuge.
•
It was noted that if the Borough retained property, the taxes were
never collected and the previous owner does not receive the value.
Therefore, retaining access easements that would still allow the
sale would be considered.

To: Joint Meeti )f Kodiak Island Borough Assemt 'Members and
Planning anu Zoning Commissioners
From: Horseshoe Lake Community Association Board of Directors
Date: September 14, 1995
Request: The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly initiate a rezone of Tract A, US
Survey 2538A, from RR1 residential to Natural Use.
Tract A, US Survey 2538A, lies within a very unique neighborhood. Residential
densities vary from high to low while surrounding lands still retain natural beauty. Two
beliefs prompt us to step forward and address Tract A: (1) Healthy residential living
includes beauty in the natural environment; (2) Protecting local natural resources,
such as these wetlands, is an inherent responsibility of residents and government
bodies.
One duty of our organization is to represent local issues It is our common
practice to circulate petitions for petitioning draws our neighbors into the process and
gives validity to the issue. A copy of the support letter circulated to residents, the
petition, and a map showing the petitioned area have been delivered.
Our neighborhood area has a lot of history, including annual episodes of
flooding, a heavily traveled road, and connecting lakes and streams. A current project
funded jointly by the City Council and Borough Assembly to study location of the
stream is near finalization.
Maps and slides will presenting an understanding of Tract A.
We believe there are compelling reasons to rezone Tract A to Natural Use: (1)
The hillside sediments were recently measured to be high in water content and
, potentially unstable, discouraging residential development; (2) The lowland portion,
approximately 375 ft. wide and 1700 ft. in length consists of wetlands and streams, an
important component of the watershed area; (3) Streams cut through this area; salmon
frye migrate and eventually return to Mill Bay Beach; (4) Waterfowl and other wildlife
nest in Tract A.
If the Borough initiates and grants this rezone request the FILCA has the
following intent:
Short term:
Long term:
Educate the public regarding the importance of this natural habitat.
Purchase and post signs marking this area as natural habitat
preservation.
Discover methods to eliminate off-road vehicles from entering
the north end.
Work with different groups/agencies to foster increased presence
of waterfowl.
Work to revive this area with remaining connecting lakes.
Thank you very much!

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska
Ordinance No. 91-31
Page 1
THE PLAN
The Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway sub -area is located in a developing part of
the Kodiak urban area. Central to the area are the Safeway store and the
proposed Mill Bay Plaza shopping center. In addition, new "retail"
developments in the area include a car wash, bank, and fast food restaurant.
Along the arterial serving the area (Mill Bay Road), a number of new business
buildings have been developed, most notably, shops developed in support of
the corrunercial fishing industry.
The area also contains a significant built-up feature, the Kodiak Municipal
airport, which dominates the center of the area and impacts wild influences
the development that takes place around it. Moving away from the
developing commercial areas, the area is characterized by some historical
industrial uses; the municipal airport, the metals dump, and the City's
impound yard, as well as some more recent industrial uses of the area; crab
pot storage and fabrication, and the Borough's animal control facility. A
significant portion of the planning area off the Mill Bay arterial has also been
developed for residential use. The density of this residential development
varies from approximately one (1) dwelling unit per acre to ten (10) dwelling
units per acre. A portion of the area is also currently dedicated to open space,
although in the past there has been movement to develop this property for
residential use.
This plan has been developed with several policies in mind. These policies
are derived primarily from the draft Kodiak Road System Comprehensive
Policy and Land Use Plan. They are:
Determine the nature and siting requirements of general industrial
expansion that is compatible with the community;
Establish zoning district boundaries along natural and artificial
boundaries that effectively buffer conflicting land uses from each other;
Concentrate non-residential development downtown and in other
strategic locations, while limiting encroachment into residential areas;
Provide an adequate balance of land for the mix of uses that occur or
may be anticipated to occur in the community;
I,imit the types of residential development permitted in downtown
Kodiak, and other commercial areas; and
Lakeside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Land Use Plan
October, 1991 Page 1 of3
Identify and reserve land for future industrial and commercial
expansion including gravel/shot rock resource extraction areas.
The land use plan for this area includes the following land use categories:
general business, retail business, medium density residential, and open
space. Each of these land use categories is described later in the plan. As a
planning tool, the land use plan provides a vision of how this area should look
In the future, but as conditions in the community change, so too should the
plan. The plan should be periodically reviewed to determine its compatibility
with community needs and desires. The purpose of the plan is also to provide
a basis for the inevitable land use regulations that will be adopted to
implement it. These include zoning, subdivision, and land disposal
regulations.
The general business category is intended as a land use category that permits
a wide variety of intensive business land uses. These uses run the gamut
from all those uses identified in the current business zoning district, with the
exception of residential types of uses (e.g. hotels, apartments, etc.) to
wholesale and warehouse types of land uses. The purpose of this land use
category is to permit a wide range of business uses that are part of the
primary and secondary economic sectors of the region. This land use
category does not include, in addition to residential uses, land uses that are
traditionally considered "heavy industrial." For example, bulk fuel plants,
batch plants, seafood processing plants, etc. would not be permitted. The
following types of "conditionally permitted" uses are envisioned in this land
use category: quarters for security personnel and institutional uses. With the
wide variety of land uses envisioned in this area, and their intensity,
consideration in implementing the plan must be given to screening the uses
from public transportation routes and non -similar adjacent land uses. It is
important to acknowledge that the Kodiak Municipal Airport is currently a
central feature of the general business area identified in this plan. The
Kodiak Municipal Airport (landing strip and Lilly Lake) will continue to be a
grandfathered use until adequate replacement facilities are established.
The retail business category is intended as a land use category that includes a
wide range of retail and service businesses. This land use category is
centered around the newly developing Safeway/Mill Bay Plaza area. These
types of land uses are considered less intensive from a land use perspective,
but often require more parldng than the uses identified for the general
business areas. Therefore, in implementing this plan, consideration must be
given to the impact of the parking areas on adjacent land uses and public
transportation routes. Consideration will be given to the establislunent of
LaIceside Subdivision/Safeway Subarea Land Use Plan
October, 1991 Page 2 d3
high density (more than twelve (12) dwelling units/acre) residential uses
(under certain conditions) in this area.
Medium density residential land use has generally been defined in the Kodiak
Road System Comprehensive Policy and Land Use Plan as six (6) to twelve
(12) dwelling units per acre. The majority of the existing residential land uses
in the area are consistent with this land use category. On a practical level,
there is an economic efficiency in providing public services to this density of
residential uses that is not achieved at lower density levels. For comparative
purposes, six (6) dwelling units per acre is equivalent to six (6) single family
dwellings, each on an approximately 7,200 square foot lot. Innovative,
residential subdivision design, clustering for example, can reduce negative
impacts of medium density residential development on the community and
neighborhood.
Open space has been defined as "any parcel or area of land or water
essentially unimproved and set aside, dedicated or reserved for public or
private use or enjoyment, or for the use and enjoyment of owners and
occupants of land adjoining or neighboring such open space" (The Illustrated
Book of Development Definitions). In any area where the government already
has the luxury of owning land, consideration needs to be given to dedicating a
portion of that land for open space purposes. As noted in the definition
above, open space is provided in this plan for the use and enjoyment of the
public. In developed areas of the community such as this, open space is even
more important because of the value it adds to the community. In this plan,
open space is identified for two purposes;
• To separate potentially conflicting land uses (i.e. Lot 10, Block 2, and
Lot 7, Block 1, between the residential areas and municipal airport, and
general business area, Lot 10, Block 3 between the residential area and
Block 3, general business area, and the buffer strip between the
residential area and general business area that is now used for the dry
metals site), and;
▪ For public recreation and access (i.e. Lot 11, U.S. Survey 3466, and the
area around Beaver Lake).

instructed to look at it este sub -area of the overall
comprehensive land use plan and set guidelines that
made it consistent with the surrounding area.
Presiding Officer McFarland opened the public
hearing.
Wally Johnson, City of Kodiak Mayor, spoke on behalf
of the City of Kodiak. He had received a number of
calls from people concerned about the municipal
airport.. He reminded the Assembly that it was
determined at the joint City/Borough work session of
October 15, 1991 that the City of Kodiak had no
intention to abandon the municipal airport and
objected to any restrictions on the use. He objected
to and suggested that the following wording on page
five of the plan be removed: "From a community
development and a safety standpoint, the municipal
airport is incompatible with the intent of this plan.
However, the need for such a community facility is
recognized. Therefore, the Kodiak Municipal airport
will be tolerated until the adequate replacement
facilities are established."
ghris Kinter resented language in the plan that
implied that a substantial portion of the private and
business community of Kodiak would be tolerated at
the municipal airport. He stated he spoke on behalf
of Butch Patterson and Pricilla Mesner in voicing
objection to the ordinance.
Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XI'
November 21, 1991 Page 30
Talterrigan agreed with Mayor Johnson and expressed
concern that municipal airport leaseholders had not
received notification of the public hearing. He
thought the municipal airport provided an important
service t� the community, as demonstrated during the
mudslide, and that it was not the intent of the city
Council to abandon it.
sill Heatv, Commander of the local Civil Air Patrol,
informed'the Assembly that the CAP planned to build a
hangar at the municipal airport but that endeavor had
been postponed because of the wording in the
ordinance.- He said the state airport was limited
because it was below the tidal wave line, the
military had priority over it, and it was
inaccessible during times of disaster. He felt the
municipal airport proved to be a valuable aid for
access to the community during times of disaster.
Jim Chase remarked that the municipal airport was an
intrical part of his business.
Don Lawhea4 supported maintaining the municipal
airport.
David Ausman called in and expressed concern about
wording in the ordinance. He felt use of the land as
an airport was more important to the community than
use as.an industrial area.
Mike Moore stated the benefits of using the land for
the municipal airport far outweighed any other use of
the property.
Knox Christie recounted that he personally was
medevacked from the municipal airport during the
mudslide and felt that closing it was a disservice to
the community. -
Tom Knoke felt the airport was an intrical part of
the community and expressed concern that leaseholders
were not informed of the public hearing.
Al Ciattv-reiterated previous comments.
Dill Heatv added his concern that. leaseholders had
not received notice of public hearing.
The Presiding Officer closed the public hearing and
reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember Milligan reiterated the importance of
the•municipal airport to the community during the
mudslide. -

Mayor Selby responded to Aisemblymember's cohcerns
and reiterated that the ordinance adopted the plan.
He suggested the verbiage "tolerated use" be replaced
with "permitted use". He noted the airstrip was not.
FAA approved.
Linda Freed, Community Development Director, reported
that the airport was allowed under grandfather use
and that industrial district zoning permitted
hangars. She said the Planning & Zoning Commission
held a public hearing on the plan and received no
testimony. The Commission requested that language be
put in the plan to indicate that is the appropriate
long-range use of the property.

MROBAGEO FROM TIR BOROUGH MAYOR
Mayor Selby informed the Assembly that a number of
communities.and the Southeast Municipal Conference
had filed suit in court to stop the reapportionment
plan. He said the Kodiak Island Borough had gone on
record opposing the plan and the governor ignored the
request for reconsideration. He noted that he had
discussed the issue with the Borough Attorney and had
determined that the Kodiak Island Borough could send
the request for reconsideration to the Department of
Justice or file suit as a friend of the court in
brief form.. He stated that filing suit as a friend
of the court would be less costly and provided a no
liability position to the Borough. He explained a
third option was to file a lawsuit in court at a cost
of $50,00.0 to $100,000 in legal fees.
Mayor Selby said it sounded favorable that $3.7
million would be approved for disbursement to the
Borough on the Peterson transfer agreement.
He said that generally the collection of taxes had
gond well but information on payment of personal
property taxes should be publicized. He informed the
Assembly that in years past the City had paid the
personal property taxes and this year the property
