VII BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT A. Knox N. Christie Appeal (Lot 16, Survey 3101) Mayor Ogg closed the regular meeting: Opened the meeting of the Kodiak Island Borough seated as a 3oard of Adjustment: Mr. Knox M. Christie: Noted on the application for a variance that the trailer before the change was made had no facilities. The change not only changed the trailer size from 18 feet to 27 feet but it changed it from a trailer with no facilities to a trailer with facilties. Other than that mil letter pretty well states the history and my appeal. Tim Hill: (P & Z) The only facility added was a shower, he did have as t�et in the old residence. This was a limited amount of upgrading and through our attorney we verified that we were within our rights to go ahead and give the decision we came up with. Dennis Nelson: (Neighbor of the area) I had written a letter to P & Z initiating what my protest was regarding this matter. If we continue to grant variances we really have no need for a comprehensive plan. My concern is the health matter. There is only one utility there. (water) For the purpose of the record, I would like state that I am against a permanent variance of this nature. Ton Perez: (opposing appeal) I am the owner of the property and have owned it for over twenty years. Mr. Knudsen moved one trailer off and brought a little bigger one on without my knowledge. Mr. Christie: (rebuttal) I don't know how the law reads but it seems to me that a zoning official or a building official that has knowledge of a violation should pursue correcting the violation. Just because a formal complaint wasn't made, it doesn't seem like that would be a necessity before action would be taken. I think it would be part of his job to seek out problems and correct them. K1B )SSEPBLm MEETI: Page 3 Mayor Ogg closed the hearing. The Chair requests a motion and it should be in a positive form. Mr. Peotter moved to uphold the ruling of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Seconded by Kr. Arndt. Mr. Anderson: I have two reasons for not supporting the motion. 1. When the ordinance was passed for non - forming uses to continue and be made legal, the intent as I saw it, was that they could continue as long as they were not changed. 2. The other reason is there was no permits and no one knew about the change at the Borough offices until after the trailers had been changed. It was a significant change. Mr. Wakefield: against, it is a significant change. Mr. Murray: against, this was a substantial change in the existing use of the property. Mr. White: against, this is a significant change. Mr. Arndt: I am in favor of the motion supporting the decision of the P arming & Zoning. I feel they are correct in acknowledging that the space is what is "grandfathered" because it's a use. I do not feel it is a significant change. Mr. Herrnsteen: against, it is a significant change. Mr. Peotter: I feel the Commission's decision was not based on fact. I think the issue of using the space is a wrong interpretation. I contend that moving out one abode and putting in another abode is far more than a significant change. The motion failed 1 -6 with Mr. Arndt casting the YES vote. The Board of Adjustment therefore grants the appeal. The Staff shall rectify the situation as required. Mayor Ogg closed the meeting of the Board of Adjustment and opened the regular session. VII PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Ord. No. 81 -1 -0 Amending Ord.

XIV AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. John Pugh: Would like to request of the Assembly that if the Coast Guard is going to make a point of making these requests on our rezoning in relationship to these particular quiet zones that perhaps the Assembly might request that the Coast Guard indemnify it for any potential losses in sale of the land or resale value of the land in that we can no longer zone it from what it is and they may come to us and ask us to no longer use the land or sell the land. In regards to the sale of P -1, it might behoove the Assembly that on any sale of land that they consider now or in the future where development plans are a condition of the sale that a performance bond also be required of the developer at the time of purchase.
