Dear Ms. Javier,
Re: Letter of Support for the application of Tyler Kornelis to the Borough’s Consolidation
Committee

theBoroughandtheregion’svillages.
AttheAprilandSeptember2018Forums,informationwassharedbytheStateofAlaskaandthe
Boroughregardingtheprocessandpotentialimpactsofconsolidatingthegovernmentsofthe
CityofKodiakwiththeBorough.Consolidation of the two government entities couldhave
significant impactson our village communities in areas such as economic development, zoning,
sales tax implications, capital improvement plan priorities, and supporting adequate community
public safety.The leadership attending the Forum agreed that it is critical that the smaller, off-
road system communities somehow be included in the process.
The Borough is currentlyseeking applicants to serve on the Borough’sConsolidation
Committee. The Committee is charged with implementing the ConsolidationWork Plan that
will gatherinformationon how other regions have addressed consolidation, may proposea plan
for consolidating the two local governments (City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough) and
may prepare apetitionfor review by the Local Boundary Commission. We understand that the
Consolidation Committee will require a major commitmentof timethat includes regular
meetings held primarily in the City of Kodiak over an extended period of time. TheBorough has
nd
established a regular and alternate seat on the committee for representation from the region’s 2
class cities. However, at the SeptemberForum, rural leadership expressed a strong desire to see
individuals who live on the Kodiak road system and who have a strong working relationship with
the off-road system communities appointed to the committee. This is for two reasons. First,
travel to Kodiak is not always possible to attend committee meetings. And second,our villages
currently face real issues in participating in meetings via teleconferencing or Internetbased

webinar tools. For example, this past OctoberLarsen Bay was withouttelephone service for
over sevendays and Port Lions residents frequently cannot access GCI long distance,
particularly toll-free numbers.Internet speeds are very slow and oftendo not support
downloading of documents. The realities of living in the Boroughare suchthat if you are not
living on the road systemthe ability to participate in any meetings based in Kodiak is severely
hampered by weather and available technology.
Tyler Kornelis indicated to the Forum that he is submitting an application for the Consolidation
Committee.Tyler is responsible for the Kodiak Rural RegionalComprehensive Economic
Development Strategies (CEDS) under funding through the US Economic Development
Administration or EDA. In addition to the CEDS planning, he currentlysupports regional
energy planning for our off-road system communities under a grant received by SWAMC
through the US Department of Energy. He has been a regular participant and presenter at the
Forum for the past four years. The leadership participating at the Forums sees Tyler as an
individual wholivesand works in Kodiak yet understands the issues facing our rural
communities.Given this, the Forum strongly supports Tyler’s application to be part of the
Consolidation Committeeand feels that he would assist in ensuring that the rural regional voice
is at the table.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
RobertaJ.TownsendVennel

January 23, 2019
To the Members of the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly,
This letter addresses a discussion about the KIB land in Chiniak.
I have lived in Chiniak since the mid 1970’s and have seen a lot of changes over the
years, beginning with the Tracking Station closing down and properties sold as a
result.
I believe people should have the opportunity to buy land or buy houses and live as
they like. They pay property taxes. Children can attend the local school. We all
contribute to the betterment of our communities.
More families means more children in the school. It is very difficult for families as
we saw in Chiniak in the past, and other villages, when the school closes because of
low enrollment.
Roads would need to be upgraded. Certainly that would be an expensive
proposition, but necessary if the land was to be developed.
I don’t believe there would be a big influx of people wanting to live 40+ miles out the
road. It might be attractive to some in having a weekend house as many present
houses in Chiniak are that case or build permanent year round houses like some of
us have done.
There is plenty of land that is available for Kodiak residents to recreate. Even
though Leisnoi has blocked access to some areas, it has only blocked motorized
access. People are still able to walk and hike all over Leisnoi land. Some people are
used to riding 4 wheelers and trucks all over Cape Chiniak. Because of destruction of
that land, motorized vehicles are now prohibited. That’s their decision, it’s their
land. I commend Leisnoi in that decision.
Granted, there are a few houses and a few parcels of land for sale now. This has
always been the case all the years I have lived there. I would not say the market is
flooded.
People need affordable land and I hope you offer the same financing as others have
gotten in a previous KIB land sales. What’s fair for some should be fair for all.
I am supportive of the KIB exploring ways to open more land for sale.
Sincerely yours,
Elizabeth Odell

In September We had an informal meeting at the Chiniak school with
Julie Kavanaugh and Matt VanDaele, 23 Chiniak residents attended (this
is a very large turnout for our small community) and everyone opposed
developing the land at this time, here were
some of the reasons that were discussed at the meeting:
With the public accesses being blocked off there needs to be
open land available for all residents, firewood, camping, ATV
use, hunting...
(the meeting went to the frustration of more leisnoi
blockages/deep ditch dig ups at: Chiniak Creek, Gillnet Beach, Bunker
Hill, Twin Creeks Beach and Roslyn and other places)
The cost of developing the land would be Extremely high,
with the slash clean up, roads up to grade and running
power...
• The land is devastated, barren and swampy and steep, will
there be interest in purchasing?
• If the KIB opens large parcels there, then we lose the public
access to that acreage, as well as all Kodiak residents and
visitors that use this land
This would flood the market, at this time there are
several houses and acreages for sale in Chiniak at
this time
there are land parcels at Cliff Point currently for
sale
Marie Rice has had several acres for sale for
many years near Roslyn Beach as well
o Jerroll Friend just purchased the old
winery/world training peace center at Roslyn and
intends to develop that area.
with all this land open and being opened, why would the KIB
do a high cost development in opening this land (that is
much needed for recreation) ESPECIALLY with our populace
on Kodiak decreasing.
It seems it would be a waste of time, money and effort to try
and sell parcels in this burnt clear cut. The amount of work
and money needed to clear the land and make it residential,
is tremendous. The entire acreage is completely covered
with slash and stumps.
The creeks and drainages are clogged from stash, and
debris. It is undesireable for developing to say the least!
• The size of the lots, when and if developed, need to be large
plots, 5+ acres minimum, so much of this property is hilly
and swampy, there needs to be room for wells and septic.
• Residents suggested that the KIB not finance the future land
sale in the 10-10-10 (10% down, 10 years to pay off..)
manner they have done in the past to ensure the
buyers have means to be successful out here, this is not an
easy or convenient area to successfully make a living (don't
want a Jackson's trailer court development)
• Access between Sara Fish and Alana T's property up King
Crab Way if developed is opposed, everyone at the meeting
agreed that the access should be the access already there
right at the corner of Silver Beach, and not through the
residential area
We have endured being logged out, burned out, ditched out, and now
we are trying to defend a track of land that we
have used for recreational and Subsistence for many years.
We need to take this time to heal and move slowly.
As a 57 year Kodiak resident and a 34 year Chiniak property owner I
would like to request that the Burned KIB land NOT be developed at
this time.
Thank you for hearing my/our concerns, I urge you to keep this tract of
land open for public use at this time.

Subject Hi Nova, can you please distribute this letter to everyone involved? Thanks!
September 19, 2018
Dear Kodiak Island Borough Mayor, Assembly Members, and Lands Committee,
Hello, my name Is Sara Fish, I am writing this letter because I believe it is in the best interest of the Kodiak Island
Borough to designate the Chiniak "Timber" Parcel for public use. I ask that you all please take the following comments
Into consideration when deciding whether or not to move forward with development.
It seems it would be a waste of time, money and effort to try and sell parcels of a burnt clear cut. The amount of work
required to clear the land enough for use is tremendous. The entire acreage Is completely covered with slash. The slash
consists of everything from twigs to limbs to 300 year old culled logs. Not to mention 100 plus stumps per acre. Natural
creeks and drainages are clogged from debris and logging equipment. It is hardly traversable and undesirable.
There are already numerous lots for sale from Cliff Point to Chiniak. They range In size from 3,5,10,and 20 acres. Some
are developed, some are undeveloped. Landowners are having a hard time selling the land already on the market.
However, one thing KIB and residents are lacking is public use land. With firewood readily available and deer still
roaming around there is constant use of this access by all sorts of people. Including discouraged tourists who were
promised scenic vistas and bunkers in Chiniak only to realize these accesses have all been trenches and barricaded by
Leisnoi. Lelsnol has been ado mentally policing and slowly blocking off more and more access. Some of the accesses
blocked include historic state easements and BLM easements. (How can they do that?I) we owe it to ourselves and the
future to keep some land for public use.
I encourage everyone involved in any decision making process to come see for yourself, try and walk off the road for a
bit. And think if you would buy this. Please consider setting this aside for public use and using money from the lands
fund to cleanup some of the aftermath of the logging possibly making camp spots and cleaning up viewpoints. This could
make the Chiniak Timber Parcel a genuine asset to Kodiak Island Borough, our land values, our tourism Industry and our
wildlife. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sara Fish

Subject Land Development in Chiniak
Please forward this letter to the Borough Assembly and the Lands Committee
To the Borough Assembly and the lands Committee,
I stand with the 23 people who attended the Informal meeting In Chlnlak last month In regards to opposition of the
development of the Borough land In Chiniak.
1) Lelsnoi owns Lands all around the Chiniak community and is limiting our access to our nearby beaches. Until Lesnol
comes to the table and honors our rights of way and our comprehensive plan that the community of Chinlak and the
Borough worked so hard on twice since 1985 can we consider any development.
2) Since we are limited In recreational land In Chlnlak we need to conserve this land for that purpose.
2)There are several residences already for sale and future land development already in place In Chlnlak and Cliff Point.
3)We have been logged out, burned out, and now there Is the possibility of having to defend a track of land that we as
residents of Chiniak have used for recreational and Subsistence for many years.
Can't you let us heal, breathe, something? I am slck of standing up to encroachment on my community. I'm not
convinced that this will be responsible development at this time.

From: KIB Parks & Recreation Committee
RE: Chiniak Burn Area Recreation Site
At the January 23, 2018 and February 27, 2018 Parks & Recreation Committee meetings,
the committee discussed the Borough -owned parcels with legal descriptions of Portion of
T29S R18W, and Portion of T30S, R18W, Section 5 & 6, of the Chiniak Subdivision
(commonly known as the "Chiniak Bum Area"). The Committed proposes that this area
be dedicated to recreation for all Borough residents and visitors. Due to its topography
and existing logging roads, this site could provide unique opportunities for non -motorized
and motorized recreation, hiking, and camping. The Parks & Recreation Committee
would like to work with the Resource Manager and any other relevant departments,
committees, or commissions, to explore the possibilities for maintaining this site for
recreation. /-

Kodiak, Alaska 99615
Dear Mayor Rohrer,
RE: Development of Chiniak Burn Area Parcel
Over 15 years ago, we took advantage of a Borough land sale out in Chiniak because we enjoyed
the trees and community but more importantly at that time, it was difficult to obtain Chiniak
property. Nowadays large stash piles are as tab as the trees that once stood and many for We
signs are visible along the road.
We are opposed to the development of the Chiniak Burn Area Parcel for the following reasons.
• There is enough open land and property for sale. Yes, there was a time when it
was difficult to acquire property out in Chiniak. Currently, that is not the case. Many
homes are for sale, and we just heard that Jerald Friend purchased the old winery and
intends on developing that property. In addition, land parcels at Cliff Point are currently
for sale. Why would the Borough compete with the private sector?
The cleanup and development of the Chinink Burn Area Parcel, which can be
steep or swampy, is going to be expensive and lots might be hard to sell.
Adding an unnecessary line item to the Borough budget is not fiscally responsible.
especially when government budgets are decreasing during these tough fiscal times.
• We do not know a Chiniak residem/property owner who is in favor of this
development. We are one of them.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Robert Murphy Meesha Murphy

Nova, Please send this to all members of the Lands Committee and Borough Assembly.
Good morning.
The KIB's plans for selling property for development In Chiniak is a Bad Idea. I am a life long Kodiak resident and a
resident of the Chiniak area for decades, and the continued loss to the lifestyle I moved out here for is only going to
Increase with more property owners In the area. There Is not enough public access to rivers beaches and upland areas
as It Is, due to Lesnoi blocking easements, etc. Many folks have already left and put their property up for sale for these
reasons. Property values have fallen and it has become very difficult to sell due to the logging and access problems. I
believe most residents of Chiniak have similar concerns. I will predict that If this trend continues My place will be up for
sale also (if I don't have to give it away) and I will be off the island for good. Sincerely. Thomas Dinnocenzo

Subject: Chiniak land development
HI Nova,
I would like to ensure that this email is submitted to each member of the KIB Lands Committee as well as each member
of the KIB Assembly.
Thank you,
Maureen Butler
As a 34 year Chiniak property owner I would like to request that the Burned KIB land NOT be developed at this time.
Just two weeks ago we had a very well attended community meeting at the Chinlak School to discuss this, it was
unanimous, out of the 23
Chiniak residents in attendance (which Is a record for our community meetings[) all wanted to keep this land open for
public use. Here are
some of the reasons:
• With the public accesses being blocked off there needs to be open land available for all residents,
firewood, camping, ATV use, hunting...
(the meeting went to the frustration of more leisnoi blockages/dig ups at: Chiniak Creek, Gillnet Beach, Bunker
Hill, Twin Creeks Beach and Roslyn)
• The cost of developing the land would be Extremely high, with the slash clean up, roads up to grade and
running power...
• The land is devastated, barren and swampy and steep, will there be Interest In purchasing?
• If the KIB opens large parcels there, then we lose the public access to that acreage, as well as the people
that don't live in Chiniak that use this land
• This would flood the market, at this time there are
o several houses and acreages for sale in Chlniak at this time
o there are land parcels at Cliff Point currently for sale
o Jerald Friend just purchased the old winery/world training peace center at Roslyn and intends to
develop that area
with all this land open and being opened, why would the KIB do a high cost, losing proposition In
opening this land (that is much needed for recreation)
• The size of the lots, when and if developed, needs to be large plots, 5+ acres minimum
• Residents suggested that the KIB not finance the future land sale in the 10-10-10 (10% down, 10 years to
pay off..) manner they have done In the past to ensure the
buyers have means to be successful out here, this is not an easy or convenient area to successfully make
a living (don't want a Jackson's trailer court development)
• Access between Sara Fish and Alana T's property up King Crab Way if developed is opposed, everyone at
the meeting agreed that the access should be the access already there right at the corner of Silver
Beach, and not through the residential area
Thank you for hearing my/our concerns, I urge you to keep this tract of land open for public use at this time.
I am available to discuss this further with you, please feel free to contact me: Maureen "Moe" Butler 907-539-2104

HI Nova, hope you are doing well.
Would you please make sure everyone on the lands committee and Borough assembly gets a copy of this email? Thank
you.—Jane
I see as always you do as you want with no regards to the locals opinions or concerns. Why do you even ask??
How much tax payers money do you use every time you come out here?
It's not a good idea to use King Crab way as a through -fair. The congestion and the steep hill in winter is dangerous. The
best way in to the land you want to develop is the entrance by Silver Beach. You can always put in a back entrance to the
Tsunami / library. There has never been enough parking there anyway.
I am opposed to developing the land at this time[
