III ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
V ASSEMBLY ACTION
Also Present: Doug Preston, Clerk/Treasurer, Ralph Valkama, Assessor;
Harry Carter, Sanitarian; William Sacheck, Area Manager,
State Division of Lands; Claud Hoffman, Chief Cadastral
&igineer, S.D.L. ; Larry Shaw, Secretary, Port Lions Council.
A. Development Plan for Bells Flats Gravel Deposits. Mr. Sacheck spoke of the
need for such a plan, having immediate reference to the area near the slaughter
house in Bells Flats, and he stated that he would assist in its formulation.
Unified depth of excavation was stressed so that the area could eventually be
a recreation area lake. Leases of 3 to 5 acres, to various contractors, were
suggested.
B. Feasibility Study of Port Lions Water and Sewer System. Larry Shaw inquired
about such a study. Mr. White stated that an attempt had been made to enter
into an agreement with A.S.H.A. for planning, but no funds are available, and
such planning would not be completed in less than three years. An Anchorage
firm of engineers has been contacted by the City and the Borough, and have
made a proposal which is under consideration for area-wide planning. Asked
by Mr. Shaw as to the approximate cost of such a survey for Port Lions, Mr.
Barr estimated $7,000 to $8,000.
C. Disposition of Lands in Port Lions. Mr. White then called for discussion of
the location of the land, its use, and the method of disposition. Mr. Hoffman
said that he had looked over the area three weeks ago, had talked with
residents, and had made a plat which had been discussed with the Port Lions
Council the previous day. An additional 45 lots had been platted, as well as
a trailer court across the river and a contiguous recreation area. A letter
from the Port Lions Council requested a survey in accordance with the plat
which had been submitted. Mr. Hoffman also proposed a replat of the school
reserve, and the dedication of a road to the trailer court area. It was
further recommended that the survey be made by the Division of Lands, with
costs to be recovered, or partially recovered, by the land sale.
IV FORMAL CALL TO ORDER
At this time, 1:05 p.m., the Special meeting was formally called to order by
Acting Presiding Officer Norman Sutliff for the purpose of indicating the Assembly's
attitude toward the proposed survey for the sale of lands.
A. Subdivision of Port Lions, First Addition. Mr. Barr moved that the Assembly
go on record as approving the plan of subdivision of the Port Lions First
Addition. Mr. Arndt seconded, and voice vote was unanimously favorable.
B. VFW Recreation Site on Monashka Bay. Mr. Hoffman then discussed the proposed
recreation site, and recommended that the general area be selected. He
stated that a plat of the Port Lions First Addition, as well as a plat of
this Monashka Bay area, will be supplied to the Borough to clarify the
selections. Mr. Arndt then proposed selection of the area to be traversed
by the second stage of the Otmeloi Point Road. The second stage must be
determined in order to make the selection.
