OLD BUSINESS
A. Parks Ordinance
Ogle reported the changes she made to the ordinance and alternative routes to
take. She explained that in Indiana a developer with a large piece of property
would have to submit one preliminary plat creating all lots at one time, and then
they would phase final plats as each section is developed.
Hans Tchersichjoined the meeting at 7:20 p.m.
Discussion of different options. The committee requested Ogle to bring an
example of what she explained to the next meeting and then take it to the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ogle will continue to break down the thresholds, and she will speak to the
Planning & Zoning Chair about phasing plats.
B. Otmeloi/North Star
C. Trail Ownership Inventory
Ogle stated she is still working on it. She is still trying to reach DNR to see if they
have the imaging in GIS format.
D. Grant Opportunity
Ogle stated this is for the Alaska Coastal Grant and the deadline is February 15th.
CHAIR FOREMAN stated the grant is already written and staff should contact
staff with Soil & Water Conservation and bring Sam Christian into the
conversation to see if they are willing to apply for this grant. RC Hardy is the
contact.
E. Certified Local Government Discussion
Ogle stated the Borough Assembly and City Council had a joint work session last
week where they both agreed to pursue a joint Historic Preservation Board of
Review which then would apply to be a Certified Local Government. Once you
are designated a Certified Local Government you are eligible for grant funds. The
makeup of this joint historic board is yet to be determined. Linda Freed told her
they are working on draft resolutions so the City and the Borough would adopt
identical resolutions to get this going. It will be made up mostly of Historic
Society members. There is concern that might not capture the all encompassing
historic elements of Kodiak that should be captured as opposed to the Russian
element. There might be people who are interested in being on the board with the
WWII element and the Alutiiq element, etc. to where it is rounded out. Ogle also
said Katie Parker is working on the draft.
Foreman requested if the Committee could have the opportunity to review it once
Parker is finished.
