Mr. Milton Souter, attorney for Julius Majdic stated that on April 7, 1976 Mr. Majdic made a request to Planning and Zoning to have his property rezoned from unclassified to business property described as Lot 3, Block 2, Miller Point Subdivision being lo- cated just beyond the turnoff on Monashka Bay Road to Miller Point near the Abercrombie Park area which sits on a bluff about 70 - 80 feet above the road. Mr. Majdic has been operating his business from this location being engaged in a general contracting business, parking heavy equipment in the area since 1971. When first beginning his business he felt he was on unrestricted property to find later that it was restricted property. He applied for rezoning which was denied by Planning & Zoning because it constituted spot zouing. Rezoning was not what Mr. Majdic needed, he should have requested an exception. Mr. Souter stated that the Borough Assembly had the power to modify the decision of the P d&Z and as authority to this statement referred to 17.69.920 (d) of the Municipal Code which refers to the Assembly to act as a Board of Adjustment. On May 17, 1976 a letter was submitted asking that the Borough Assembly use their disgression to regard Mr. Majdic's request for an exception to permit him to build a warehouse and maintenance shop for the equipment on his property and to con- tinue to operate the business. Mr. Majdic did not know in 1971 that he was in violation. Mr. Souter stated that Kodiak has very little commercial property. Since the original request was submitted, the property has been replatted to Block 2, Lots 3A & 3B. Mt. Souter also submitted several letters from adjoining property owners stating "no objection" to Mr. Majdic's business. Mt. Anderson moved to grant Mr. Majdic an exception to construct a maintenance shop and /or warehouse and to be able to continue in an unencumbered state as to the activities that he now pres- ently enjoys on his property located at Block 2 Lots 3A & 3B, Miller Point Subdivision with the stipulation t if this property is sold or the general contracting business changes hands, the exception then may be reviewed by the Assembly as to its continuance. Seconded by Mrs. Kavanaugh. Motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote.
