A number of issues were discussed about the pond at the bottom of Three
Sisters. These issues are as follows:

2. High public recreation value of the beach
3. Infilling of the pond (use to be 7 feet deep, now less than 2 feet)
4. Infilling of culvert leading to pond
5. Damage to trees on private property because of non-functioning
culvert
6. Borough involvement in rectifying problem
7. Service Areas involvement in rectifying problem
Members asked for clarification of the issues. Staff will look further into
the issues.

E. Historic Development without culvert
The board discussed that a lot of the pothole problem is caused because
there are no ditch lines at the top of Three Sisters Way. The reason for no
ditch lines is that the driveways that occur there have no culverts.
Members asked staff if there was a way to require culverts at these historic
driveways. It was asked if the KIB had a policy requiring these culverts. Is
it the homeowner's responsibility or that of the service areas?
F. FLY BY
The Board went through the service area, street by street, to determine if
work needed to be done. The result of the discussion is that all roads will
be graded. There was also a discussion about the ditching at the bottom of
Mt. View Drive. The water off this road does not go into the ditch at the
intersection of Monashka Bay Road and Monashka Bay Road. Monahska
Bay Road is a State of Alaska road. Ditching in a State right of way is the
state's responsibility. Bruce will look into this.
G. Budget
Staff stated that budget documents would be out soon. The service area
will have to hold two meetings before adopting a budget. Tentative dates
are 3/18 & 4/1/03.
H. Adjournment
Meeting was adjourned at 8:00
