AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
JULY 25, 2019
ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
SUBJECT: Research Court Apartments (Formerly Known As Kodiak Fisheries Research
Center (KFRC) Dorms).
ORIGINATOR: Dora Cross
RECOMMENDATION:
For Assembly discussion.
DISCUSSION:
The Kodiak Island Borough constructed and maintains apartments located on Near Island.
The apartments were constructed at the same time the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center
was constructed. They were, along with lab space in the Research Center, under a 20 year
lease to the University of Alaska. Now that the lease has ended, the use of the apartments
has changed from supporting the mission of the Research Center, by providing housing to
summer and visiting lab staff, to a stand alone apartment complex. Since leasing income from
the apartments will pay for the maintenance and operations of the apartments, staff is
recommending the apartments be moved into their own enterprise fund. A separate enterprise fund is
essential to properly accumulate the costs and income generated by the apartments and to ensure the
apartments do not present a monetary burden on another fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
Keep the apartments under the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center enterprise fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None - other than better financial transparency for the apartment income and costs.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: July 19, 2019
TO: Borough Mayor and Assembly
Cc: Borough Manager
FROM: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Research Court Apartments Subdivision
______________________________________________________________________
The Research Court Apartments, formerly known as the Kodiak Fisheries Research
Center (KFRC) Dorms, are located on the same legal lot as the KFRC facility. The
Assembly has indicated interest in divesting the Borough of the Research Court
Apartments. To facilitate discussion on the matter, this memo presents background
information, identifies the considerations relating to the sale of the Research Court
Apartments and provides a suggested course of action to prepare the property for sale.
Background
The Research Court Apartments are located at 225 Research Court, on Near Island.
The parcel that the apartments are on is legally described as Tract A of Tract B-1A, U.S.
Survey (U.S.S.) 4947 and was created by Plat No. 2013-4. The legal description at the
time the apartments and the KFRC facility were constructed in 1997/1998 was Tract B,
U.S.S 4947, created by Plat No. 86-20. The KFRC building was constructed by the
Borough for the purpose of conducting research and providing information about marine
mammal and fish life cycles, habitat, and environment to academics, industry, and the
general public.
The apartments were constructed to support the KFRC facility. But, in recent years use
of the apartments by visiting fisheries professionals and individuals affiliated with the
University of Alaska has waned.
Considerations
Land Use and Zoning
Prior to construction of the apartments and the KFRC facility, the property was vacant.
The area was identified in the 1968 Comprehensive Plan as being zoned R1-Single-
Family Residential and then rezoned to C-Conservation in 1980. The parcel was zoned
to its current zoning designation of PL-Public Use Lands in 1988 by Ordinance No. 88-
18-O. A portion of the lot acquired more recently from the City of Kodiak (which also
1
Page 5 of 178
Research Court Apartments (Formerly Known As Kodiak Fisheries Research C...
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
includes a portion of Tract A of Tract B1-A) was rezoned to PL-Public Use Lands in 2011
by Ordinance No. FY2011-13.
Both a similar use determination and a conditional use permit (CUP) were required prior
to issuance of zoning compliance for the apartments (zoning compliance was issued
jointly for the apartments and the research facility via CZ 97-024). P&Z Case No. 96-
007 addressed both requests, which were approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on June 19, 1996. The similar use determination affirmed that apartments
for visiting researchers and students was similar in use to dormitories, which are a
conditionally permitted use in the PL-Public Use Lands District, and the approval of the
CUP allowed for the issuance of zoning compliance for the project. One condition of
approval was adopted, and pertained to the recording of an access easement, which is
described in more detail below under Existing Access.
Because multi-family dwellings are not a permitted use in the PL-Public Use Lands
District, it is recommended that this parcel be rezoned to B-Business. Multi-family
dwellings are a permitted use in the B-Business District. Other parcels on Near Island
not zoned PL-Public Use Lands are zoned B-Business, RB-Retail Business, LI-Light
Industrial, and C-Conservation. So, it is anticipated that a rezone to B-Business would
suit the existing characteristics of the area.
Title 17 (Zoning) requires that such multi-family facilities have 2 parking spaces per unit;
totaling 12 parking spaces for the Research Court Apartments. These spaces were
provided for in the total calculation of 53 spaces for the entire KFRC project. However,
only 6 of the required 12 spaces for the apartments are in the immediate vicinity of the
structure. In the event that the property were to be subdivided, additional spaces would
likely need to be created in order to meet the requirements of KIBC 17.175.040.
Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kodiak has recently adopted its Near Island Development Plan and has
submitted an application to the Community Development Department to have this plan
incorporated into the Boroughs Comprehensive Plan. Based on public input and
discussions of the City Council, the Minimal Development option was selected.
The development plan, which is on the Planning and Zoning Commissions August
Regular Meeting agenda, recommends maintaining Institutional land use and zoning
designations for the KFRC parcel. The designation of Institutional has not been used
by the Borough as a future land use or zoning designation, but is most similar to Public
Facilities and PL-Public Use Lands, which are the current future land use and zoning
designations of the parcel.
During the public involvement process for the Near Island Development Plan, numerous
community members expressed that residential development was undesirable on Near
Island.
Existing Access
Tract A of Tract B1-A has 66.46 feet of frontage along the Trident Way right-of-way.
However, physical access to this lot is via an access and utility easement across
adjacent Tract A, U.S.S. 4947 (owned by the University of Alaska). The creation of a 50-
foot access and utility easement across the northwest corner of Tract A was required as
a conditional of approval for P&Z Case No. 96-007 referenced above.
2
Page 6 of 178
Research Court Apartments (Formerly Known As Kodiak Fisheries Research C...
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
In addition to the easement across Tract A, U.S.S. 4947, an access and utility easement
encumbers a portion of Tract A of Tract B1-A for the benefit of Tract B of Tract B1-A.
Given the cost of relocating the existing access and utilities serving Tract B of Tract B1-
A, it is recommended that this easement remain in its current location.
A third easement encumbers a 15-foot-wide section of the southeast corner of the lot
and was created to protect a creek drainage.
Depending upon the chosen lot configuration for the Research Court Apartment lot, in
addition to an access easement for the benefit of KFRC and the Fish and Game
building, an access easement may need to be created in order to preserve access to the
KFRC pumphouse. The pumphouse is located in the southern corner of adjacent Tract
A, U.S.S. 4947 and is within an access easement established on that lot.
Existing Utilities
Aside from the easement described above, Kodiak Electric Association (KEA) has a 5-
foot electrical easement along the property line adjacent to the Trident Way right-of-way.
The Building Department confirmed that the research facility and the apartments have
separate water and wastewater connections, as well as separate electrical meters. In
the event that the parcel is subdivided and portions of the utility lines for the research
facility cross the lot of the apartment building, utility easements will need to be created in
order to satisfy requirements of Title 13.
Subdivision Requirements
This subdivision was reviewed by the Community Development Department and
Planning and Zoning Commission as Subdivision Case No. S12-002. During the
subdivision review process it was determined that the subdivision required a design
waiver for preliminary approval due to the narrow geometry of the existing
road/driveway, which was granted by the Engineering and Facilities Director based on
challenging topography and the prohibitive cost of modification. An additional waiver
from Title 16 requirements allowing for the use of the access easement across Tract A
U.S.S. 4947 as legal access for Tract B of Tract B1-A was granted by the Planning and
Zoning Commission on July 20, 2011. These previously issued waivers would remain
valid in the event that the property is subdivided for the sale of the Research Court
Apartments.
Building Code Compliance
Because the apartments were permitted in a similar fashion to dormitories and rental
apartments, the buildings major systems (e.g. plumbing, heating, fire alarm) are
connected. Therefore, the apartments must remain rentals and cannot be sold as
individual condominium units.
After inspection by the Building Official, it was determined that only relatively minor
issues would need to be addressed prior to the buildings sale. Currently, the apartment
building is connected to the KFRC buildings generator system. The cost of removing
this connection is estimated at approximately $6,000. Telecommunications
infrastructure is also shared between the facilities. An accurate cost for providing
separate telecommunications infrastructure to each facility will need to be provided by
3

Research Court Apartments (Formerly Known As Kodiak Fisheries Research C...
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
ACS and is dependent on the current infrastructure configuration, which was unknown at
the time of inspection by the Building Official.
Suggested Course of Action
Based on the above considerations, the following course of action is being proposed:
1. Draft a Preliminary Plat
Work with a surveyor to draft a preliminary plat that can meet the requirements of Titles
16 and 17. Specific considerations include legal access, parking, and existing/proposed
easements. Lot size, lot width, and setback requirements would not be considerations if
the Assembly chooses to request a rezone to B-Business.
2. Submit a Title 18 Land Disposal Review Request
Disposal of Borough property requires a review by both the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Assembly.
Submitting the preliminary plat drawing with the Land Disposal Review application will
provide both decision-making bodies with a clear idea of what area of Tract A of B1-A is
being considered for disposal.
3. Request a Rezone
The rezone request can be submitted contemporaneously with the Title 18 Land
Disposal Review request. The preliminary plat drawing should also be submitted as an
exhibit to the rezone request.
The rezone, if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Assembly, will
have an effective clause indicating that the rezone does not become effective until the
plat is recorded.
4. Submit a Subdivision Application
The Preliminary Plat application can be submitted simultaneously with the Title 18
review and rezone applications. This plat meets the approval criteria for Abbreviated
Plats under Title 16. However, proposed changes to Title 16 recommend removal of the
Boroughs ability to use the Abbreviated Plat process. It is suggested that the Borough
utilize the Preliminary Plat process in order to give the Planning and Zoning Commission
the opportunity to review this subdivision of public land.
5. Address Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval
The Planning and Zoning Commission may wish to impose conditions on the plat that
must be met prior to Final Plat approval. Once preliminary approval of the plat has been
granted, the Borough has 24 months to record the Final Plat unless an extension is
approved. Conditions of approval will likely include, at minimum, the establishment of
necessary utility and access easements and the construction of additional parking
(unless a variance is granted).
6. Address Building Code Issues
The Borough will need to separate the apartment building from KFRCs generator and
telecommunications systems.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
7. Record Plat
Assuming availability of all parties for signatures, a Final Plat can be executed, mailed,
and recorded within one week; though delays may be experienced with the closure of
the Juneau and Palmer Recorders Offices.
8. Obtain a Zoning Compliance Permit
A zoning compliance permit changing the use of the Research Court Apartments from
apartment-style dormitories/short-term housing to multi-family residential should be
obtained. Provided all code requirements and conditions imposed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission have been met, this permit can be issued over the counter in a
single day.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
JULY 25, 2019
ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
SUBJECT: Budget Update Regarding The Unreimbursed Bonded Indebtedness For The
School Construction
ORIGINATOR: Michael Powers
RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
During previous years, The voters approved the sale and repayment of general obligation
bonds to undertake various school related projects including the a remodel of the high school.
State law provides that the state may reimburse school bonded indebtedness for approved
projects. The High School is an approved project. The funding is subject to annual
appropriation and the Governor's veto for FY20 eliminated half the reimbursement amount,
resulting in an unbudgeted liability of $2,238,896. While it is unclear what may happen at the
state level at the time of creating this item, the Borough needs to start moving forward on
potential funding decisions.
Staff has looked at a number of options and presents some of the salient information
regarding our options below. We are looking at a host of options, all of which could be
"combined" in one manner or another. Staff opines that, regardless of the funding sources
used to address the shortfall, that taxes be levied to recoup the costs of this voter approved
debt.. Further, staff opines that if you are going to borrow funds to pay for this shortfall, that
interest be paid and that cost recouped from the tax payers.
The next opportunity to refund (refinance) any of our bonds will occur in late 2020 (FY2021).
In terms of potential sources of funds, at first blush staff believes that, with cuts to travel,
training and other discretionary expenditures between $50,000 and $100,000 in reductions
can be found to offset the $2.24M. Borrowing is the second major option. If we were to
borrow internally, we will need to have the assembly take an affirmative action and set both a
repayment schedule and interest rate. For internal borrowing possibilities, the fund balances for
various funds are shown on a separate attachment.
Staff did not include balance information for the capital project fund 469 Renewal &
Replacement but will have a separate attachment for that by 5pm Monday.
External borrowing is also an option We have had a preliminary conversation with our bank
regarding the cost of a short-term loan (24 months or less) and should be hearing back from
them soon.
Lastly, although it would be internal borrowing, the Facilities Fund (funded by the sale of
Shuyak Island) is a potential option to borrow against, however, to do so would require a vote
of the people to change the uses of the fund. While this option should not be discounted, it
does face the greatest uncertainty and lengthiest process.

ALTERNATIVES:
The bonded indebtedness is a general obligation of the Borough. "Default" is not an option as
the Borough would be forced to levy taxes to repay the debt. If the Borough does default on
the debt, the State will appropriate all future revenue sharing and other payments to recover
the default amounts.

ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
SUBJECT: Resource Management Policies
ORIGINATOR: Michael Powers
RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
The Borough has adopted various ordinances and policies over the past 30 years affecting
These policies have not always been consistent nor has there been steady administration and
governance of our resources. A Lands Committee was added to the mix several years ago
and like many of the committees, their efforts were not always in synchronicity with other
committees and the Assembly. It is the intent of this work session item to begin the
conversation on resource management and to get an overall direction on how to proceed with
In essence: there are several areas to begin the discuss and craft a policy going forward:
Broad Policy Issues (what is our intent)
Classification and review of property (what do we have).
How are we going to do it (what are the actual policies?
In trying to frame this discussion, on one hand we want to provide a framework but on the
other do not presume to know where the assembly wants to ultimately go, so we have
deliberately left this discussion unstructured until we, collectively, have a better idea of what
we ultimately want.
Currently, staff sees an opportunity to look at our resource management efforts and have the
Assembly provide direction so as to move forward with our efforts. There are a number of
ur resources. Do we want to have overarching
certain properties or classes of properties? How do we want to classify properties? We
possess both developed and undeveloped properties, each group having its own issues. Of
the undeveloped properties one concept used by others is to identify properties by the intent
to holdings: Long-term, mid-term and short-term. Other conventions exist.
Regarding developed properties, we have the schools and the other properties (landfill,
KFRC, Research Court Apartments, Hospital, Long Term Care Center and Borough Hill).
Regarding the schools, we have two closed schools as well as other open schools in the
remote communities as well as multiple sites on the road system. Maintaining closed schools
is an obvious expense, but the ultimate decision on what the do with the building is a political
one. Staffing is looking at long term costs for closed schools and is concerned that we will
have additional schools added to the list. Regarding the other developed properties, all have
plans (Leases) in place for their ongoing lifespan. Overall all, while disposal of the properties

is possible, they are unlikely to be sold but sale is not out of the picture and should be
addressed as such events present themselves.
Regarding undeveloped properties, categorizing them is of assistance in terms of thinking
about their disposition. Under the terms proposed, long-term properties would be those we
hold under easement (Termination Point, Long Island) and those properties that bear long
term ownership (example, Borough Land near Mayflower beach, used for camping currently).
Mid-term properties would be those properties that may, in the next 5-15 years, either see
development or sale and short-term properties would be those properties the borough would
like to develop or sell in the next 5 years. Properties will obviously have to identified for each
group and may move between groups based upon policy decisions, but in any event, the
intent to develop a framework for identify properties consistently (other such conventions
-term recreation, for sale for commercial
development, etc.).
What are our future needs? While we have talked about the need for housing, what about
other needs for undeveloped and developed properties?
Lastly, the regulatory framework needs revision. While Title 18 provides mechanisms for sale
and lease of borough land, there are several difficulties with the processes and revision is in
