B. Ms. Pat McGee/Alaska Youth Hostel, Inc.
The local committee requested that I come over and share with you
my experience with Youth Hosteling. I am the Vice -President of the
Alaska Council of American Youth Hostels in the State. Youth
hostels in Europe and the Orient are a rather old idea, it came to
America in 1934. It has always been an educational pursuit. How-
ever simple the accomodations are they say that's all they are is a
place to eat, sleep, wash-up and make friends. It makes it
possible for people to travel, if there is a safe, clean, super-
vised place to stay when you get there. The tourist industry has
found out that independent travelers shop, eat out, buy groceries
and they do leave more money in the community because they stay
longer. They want to get to know the people and to experience what
the community has to offer. Traditionally, hostels just allow a
three day limit. In Alaska, we have ten full-fledged hostels.
C. L.G. Schneider & Sons, Inc. Representative
Mr. Peotter moved to concur with Management's recommendation of

Seconded by Mr. Arndt. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

*** BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
of unsubdivided USS 1682 to include
additional sewer line parallel to the
to Rezanof Drive.
A. Paul H. Stover - Lot Size Variance Appeal
Mayor Herrnsteen recessed as the Borough Assembly and reconvened
as the Board of Adjustment.
Mr. Shealy presented the Staff's reason for the decision:
�This matter was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
denied on a 2-5 vote. Mr. Stover has replied in a proper manner
to request the variance for his property. If the variance is
granted, he then plans to subdivide the property. I would assume
that some of the problems in looking at this would be the access
and connection to utilities. It would certainly seem reasonable to
require that those matters be resolved if the Assembly does grant
the variance. Staff's position is that both residence have been
occupied for a number of years as an existing situation. One
residence occupied by the Welchs is served by the public water
system. Both have seperate septic systems and could both easily
connect to the water & sewer when it becomes available in the near
future. Lot 2 contains a total of 67,953 square feet. (Approx.
1; acres) If the lots are served by public utilities, we only
require 15,000 square feet each. The Staff generally agrees, that
this variance really legalizes the grandfathering or non -conform-
ing existing situation which has existed for a long time. I would
assume with variance, one of the conditions would be that the
property be properly platted, if it is granted.
Vir 'naCrowe (P & Z Rep) This was a variance to lot size and I
think t e majority of us felt we didn't have enough information.
We wondered where the lot line was going to be drawn. We didn't
know how they were getting access. These questions weren't
answerable. I guess we mostly felt, to grant a variance this size
without actually seeing how it was going to be divided, was kinda
like buying a "pig in a poke". Whereas, if they presented the
variance request and the subdivision at the same time, we could
KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. Au�ust.4, 1983 Page 3
letter make a judgment whether it answered the four questions we
were suppose to be able to answer in granting a variance.
Lois Stover: (Appellant) There was a plat that showed our proposed
subdivision, but of course we don't know where the easements are
going to be yet for water and sewer. It was my understanding that
we needed a variance before we could plan ahead to sell this
property. Then with the Borough, I'm sure we could get the
easements and find out where that would be.
Mayor Herrnsteen read a statement from Priscilla Branson in favor of
granting a lot size variance for Mr. Stover into the record.
He also read a letter from Wilma & Sam Welch seeking a favorable vote
on the variance into the record.
Wilma Welch: I had discussed access with my neighbors and I felt
That problem would come up in the subdivision when we had the
plat made. As far as the dividing lot lines, Mr. Stover drew the
line on the existing map that he was given the day he submitted
it to Planning & Zoning.
Mr. Murray moved to adopt Resolution No. 83-95-R Affirming the
Decision Of The Planning And Zoning Commission Which Denied
Paul Stover's Request For A Lot Size Variance On Lot 2, U.S.
Survey 3104. Seconded by Mr. Arndt. Motion carried 4-3 with
Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Cater and Mr. Wakefield casting the NO votes.
B. Russell J. Welborn - Temporary Construction -worker Camp Appeal
WITHDRAWN
Mayor Herrnsteen closed the Board of Adjustment and reconvened as
the Borough Assembly.
VII PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Ord. No. 83-49-0(A) Amending Ch. 18.50 Of Borough Code To
Include Remote Cabin And Special Land Use Permits.
Mr. White moved to adopt Ordinance No. 83-49-0(A). Seconded by Mr.
Anderson.
Regular Session closed:
Public Hearing opened:
Bill Herman: I just want to bring up some thoughts that I wish the
Borough Assembly would consider on this ordinance:
(1) Can there be residency limitations?
(2) Also, I wanted to suggest that we might wait until after the
Native Land Claims settlement gets a little more clear. I'm
afraid we might have much less land for public recreation.
(3) Also, I am wondering if this ordinance might encourage poorly
built shacks rather than well-built ones. Also, who is going
to pay for the clean-up when persons move off the land and
leave the poorly built shacks?
(4) Will services be established for these people i.e. schools,
police and all that?
(5) Also, will people that go through this system have to survey
their lands?
(6) What effect will the people have on the environment?
(7) Will we commit land to this use without a proper planning
process?
I guess for all these questions and reasons that I am bringing up
I am opposed to this ordinance.
Claude Travis: I am one of the people living out at Chiniak. I
live in a trailer at mile 41.5 and that place is "home" to me.
I would like to continue living there until such a time when the
land does come up for sale. In fact I wish it would come up for
sale now so that I could buy it and get this thing over with.
Pete Harris: I have ten years out at Chiniak on this property. I
feel-Ti<� should be allowed to rent this property , but, I don't
feel like I should have any more right than anyone else if it comes
up for sale to buy it. I would like to see Section 2 of this
ordinance pass.
Theresa Armetta: I would like to express my opposition to Section 1
KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. - August 4, 1983 Page 4
of thi1s ordinance. I don't feel that the ordinance describes the
Borough's intent of the Resolution No. 83-91-R. It is specified in
the resolution that remote cabin permits are intended for personal
recreation use and not for permanent residency. There is no
language in the ordinance that clarifies the distinction between
the personal recreational use and permanent residency and I feel
this should be addressed in the ordinance. I also feel that
enforcement of the regulations regarding land use and type of the
buildings on the land will be time consuming and expensive to
conduct. The low annual fee that's required will not adequately
cover these expenses. I don't think it would be fair to use the
Kodiak Island Borough tax dollars to provide law enforcement for
privileges that non-residents can take advantage of. Another item
that needs to be clarified in the ordinance is how cabin rights
will be transferred should the land be sold.
Roger Smith: (AK Fish & Game Biologist) I am testifying on my own
behalf, although some of the comments I make certainly are derived
from my work experiences. One thing that I want to point out here
is that there are some other hidden or indirect costs to any
development of remote cabins. One of the big conflicts that I have
seen occur is the conflicts with brown bears. This occurs from the
improper garbage disposal and improper storage of food. Another
concern that I have is that I'm not so sure that the Kodiak Island
Borough residents are really going to benefit all that much.
Mayor Herrnsteen read a letter from Estra Bensussen opposing the
ordinance into the record.
He also read a letter from Paul J. Anderson into the record in which he
stated that he is in agreement with the provisions of Section 2 but,
does have strong reservations to Section 1 which deals with remote
cabin permits.
Bill Guy: I would like to testify basically against the first
portion of the ordinance. The definition of personal recreation
versus a permanent residence.
Okey Chandler: I think the whole island of Shuyak should've been
a game reserve.

C. Ord. No. 83-53-0 Exempting Inventories From Personal Property
Tax.
Mr. Anderson moved to adopt Ordinance No. 83-53-0. Seconded by Mr.
Arndt.
Regular Session closed:
Public Hearing opened:
Tom mSSwee�ne�: I feel this ordinance is a good one. There are
several reasons and I won't be lengthy. The basic reason is that
with an additional tax on inventories for the local businesses we
will be at a disadvantage to compete with areas in the immediate
KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. - August 4, 1983 Page 5
vicinity of Kodiak ItplaJ , the mainland and the Seattle area for
the sale of products to our customers. If the tax were to be put
on, it would be passed on to the consumer which would cause an
increase in price for any commodity and it would cause reduction
in sales which would result in reduction in other tax base for
the Borough and community.
Dan Moen: I am definitely opposed to an inventory tax. In my
business I de -manufacture things. If you do keep an inventory tax,
I would like a special exemption because I take manufactured
products and turn them back into raw material. One reason I am
definitely opposed to inventory tax is that a lot of businesses do
not stock up on basic manufactured items in town primarily because
they are afraid they will have to pay this big inventory tax.
Okey Chandler: I think if you're gonna exempt one you oughta
exempt all. Put it on the ballot, that's the only sensible way
to do it.
Bob Burgy: I heard of one state that I feel that their tax is
really just. They taxed people that were buying luxury items but
they didn't tax items that were necessities, the basic things that
everyone needs.
Lorna Arndt: I think if you pass something like this, you should
get the City to lower their City sales tax. All of us are paying
for that inventory tax. It is not the person that has the business
that is paying it. The City is re-imbursing the monies back to the
Borough and we Borough people are paying just as well as the City
people.
Omar Straatman: One of the inequities that I see in this tax is
that people live out of the city but buy in the city, by
ordinance you have to pay the city sales tax which as I see it,
pays the inventory tax for other people.

XI MAYOR'S COMMENTS
1. It seems we made several mistakes in the design of the parking
lot. I never knew we intended to block off the road going
across to the High School parking lot. I think we should make
a decision as an Assembly as to whether to cut the curb out and
let it go through there or block it off.
XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. Anderson: Some people out at Chiniak received one tax deal for
5 ,000 and later they received one for $90,000 so they went to the
Assessor's office and questioned it. The Assessor's office said
they did make a mistake but that it is to late to rectify it for
this year. I just wonder why it is too late to rectify it if they
made the mistake?
Mr. Wakefield: No comments.
Mrs. Cater: I would just like to say that I appreciate Mike
Ande— rso timely way of telling us what they planned and also
their having gone through what procedures they could to do what
seems like to me a very sensible way of curing their problem. I
would like to see more of that.
Mr. Arndt: No comments.
Mr. Murray: I really feel that our earlier action concerning the
business inventory was rather unilateral. I think it should be
brought up again to our City representatives that the Borough is
willing and ready to participate in tax measures which are fair
to all.
Mr. Murray moved to reconsider Ordinance No. 83-53-0 and spread on the
minutes. Seconded by Mr. Wakefield.
Mr. Peotter: No comments.
XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Bob�Burgy: There is a stream about 300 yards from my property.
The streams out in this area are getting so rank. You have
in some places up to three inches of solid waste. Sewage is in
the streams and in the ponds. There are a lot of people out in
Marmot Drive area and it is a health hazard.
