A. Regular Meeting - December 15, 1966
B. Special Meeting - December 29, 1966
C. Special meeting - January 5, 1967
Mrs. Hajdu moved for approval of the minutes as shown. Seconded by Mr. Sutliff
and carried by unanimous voice vote.
A. Zoning Commission December 28, 1966
The Chairman read Item V-A concerning the Commission's postponement of a public
hearing on the proposed rezoning to Business from the Urban Renewal area out
Tagura Road, pending meeting with ASHA officials. Chairman White personally
felt that the Commission should not defer action on the rezoning for an
extended period of time, since the demand for more Business property in the
next construction season should not be curtailed. He felt that there is not
enough Business area available within the project, and that there should be a
choice of buying property outside of it, since there are so many restrictions
on buying property in R-19, including very high prices. He stated that the
Business area in Kodiak will berm split up if provisions are not made now
to expand the core area. It was pointed out that the R-3 lots within the
U.R. project cannot be rezoned without the consent of ASHA. .Mr. Sutliff felt
that Business zoning should be limited to the U.R. area so that the disaster
businesses can be rebuilt first, and he did not think that they should have to
compete with outside businesses locating here. Mr. Vihite felt that the
businesses trying to relocate on displacement loans, rather than disaster
loans, are being penalized now, since the project land prices are so high, and
the displacement loans are much more difficult to obtain. Mr. Barr felt that
the creation of too much Busienss area may bring the project land area value
down so much that those who paid high prices for it would be penalized. Mrs.
Hajdu suggested asking the City Council for their opinion on the matter, and
then possibly going ahead with the rezoning of the property adjoining the
project.
B. Hospital Board - December 14, 1966. No comments.

area have already objected to R -3 construction in this location. After
further Assembly discussion, Mr. Best, representing Baranof Heights, stated
that this particular area is not suitable for R -1 or R-2 construction, and
also that there is no market for this zoning, whereas there is a great demand
for R -3 areas. Hr. Sutliff made a motion that action on the ordinance be
tabled, and that Baranof Heights present a canprehensive development plan
to the Zoning Commission for the Commission's further recommendations to the

Ordinance 66 -25 -0. Seconded by Per. Arndt. The meeting was recessed and a
public hearing declared open. Mrs. Hajdu objected to churches being allowed
in all residential zones, due to traffic problems. She suggested that they
be permitted in R -1 and R-2 zones only as an exception after proper notice
and public hearing. The hearing was closed and meeting reconvened. There
followed also same objections to allowing home occupations in all residential
zones. The Assembly suggested that the Zoning Cantission make up a list of
home occupations to be permitted as exceptions in residential zones after
proper notice and public hearing. It was agreed that the ordinance be re -- written
to permit truck gardening, etc., accessory buildings, and required off - street
parking in all residential zones, and to permit churches and have occupations

Subdivision from Unclassified to R-2 (Case 141 -B) - First Reading
Ordinance was read. Mrs. Hajdu made a motion for adoption of the Ordinance
in the first reading. Seeonded by r"r. Arndt. During discussion, Mr. Barr
thought that more study should be given to these rezonings before they were
passed, especially since they conflict with the 1980 Plan previously prepared
for the City. Chairman White stated that he had discussed with the City the
possibility of sharing a planner with them, and that provision should be made
in the new budget for a planner. He felt, however, that the Borough must take
the initiative in the meantime to accanplish same interim planning. "ors. Hajdu
agreed that this is a necessity. Motion was carried by roll call vote as
follows: Par. Lester -- Yes; Mr. Arndt - Yes; Mr. Barr - No, Nrs. Hajdu - Yes
