The Borough Assembly and City Council discussed the need to jointly have a fisheries analyst consultant to provide professional advice and information on fisheries related issues to both groups.

Resolution No. FY2012 -13 Urging the North Pacific Fishery Management Council to Provide for Videoconferencing and Other Means of Remote Communication for Its Meetings. AUSTERMAN moved to adopt Resolution No. FY2012 -13. The Kodiak Fisheries Advisory Committee met on September 16, 2011, and agreed that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly and Kodiak City Council should consider urging the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) to provide video conferencing of its meetings. NPFMC meetings were often held in remote areas of the state causing travel expenses to these areas to be cost prohibitive and ultimately reduced access to vital information and decisions made by the NPFMC. Attendance by video and remote conferencing would provide rural communities the choice and flexibility to be involved in the process without the huge demands of substantial travel time and costs.

Kodiak's trails are to be used and enjoyed. Urban and Road System trails are identified in the plan in an effort to make them part of a permanent trails network as well as part of an part of the community's transportation infrastructure. A network that should be considered, preserved and expanded as the community grows, subdivides and develops. Urban trails are used heavily on a daily basis providing a safe route for children to walk and bike to schools and to travel to recreational facilities. They also provide a direct route to shopping areas and other retail services as well as routes to work by folks walking back and forth from their homes. Rural trails are for recreation and provide us with some tremendous vistas and access to many of the road systems resources. This Parks and Recreation Committee effort documents more than 350 miles of existing trail and provides an in- depth look at their condition. While some are capable of heavy use others are located on sensitive lands not capable of sustained use. Each of the trails is named and a physical description of each (width, length, grade and surface type) is provided. But at the same time the plan identifies short comings to this trail system by identifying the need for parking lots, signage, restrooms and items like Information Kiosks to keep the public posted on important items. The plan also talks about what it takes to be good stewards of the land and to respect adjacent private lands. These items are future goals and objectives that will be achieved as we move into a future and when grants or other funding is acquired to construct trail improvements.. Stand on the corner of Rezanof and Marine Way on Friday night or on the weekends and you will notice a large number of residents heading out the road to recreate in some form. They will be hunting, fishing, camping and hiking, four wheeling, bear viewing rafting, berry picking, mountain climbing, skiing, snow showing or just site seeing. Outdoor recreation is big in Kodiak and will be only getting bigger. Reserving public lands and access to public lands for recreation will be vital. Preserving, defending and expanding the existing trails network to satisfy a wide range of trail experiences by a wide range of trails users is the aim of this effort. We are lucky to live in an area with so much public lands and public land access to abundant resources.

Request a Review of proposed Assembly ordinance that seeks to exempt hoop house installation from the requirements of the Borough zoning code by relaxing various zoning regulations affecting setbacks, lot coverage, building height and the installation of hoop houses on a lot without a main structure. The applicant is the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly. The location is various residential zoning districts throughout the island and the zoning varies. Cassidy reported presently staff looks at hoop houses as an accessory building that have regulations associated with its height, setback, and location. Staff has been working with gardeners in crafting a new ordinance. This ordinance promotes hoop houses by relaxing the typical building and zoning regulations. The borough attorney has helped draft it. COMMISSIONER VAHL MOVED to forward Ordinance FY2010, an ordinance relaxing portion of Title 15 (Building Code) and Title 17 (Zoning Code) to the Borough Assembly recommending that this ordinance be adopted and incorporated into the Borough code. The public hearing was opened & closed. Public testimony was given by: Marie Rice spoke in support of the request stating she has been hoop housing long for years. Rice also thanked the commission. Marion Owen spoke in support of the request thanking the commission and stating it takes a lot of courage for a community to embrace something new like hoop houses. During discussion, commissioners expressed concern with drainage issues and the 1 foot setback. There was consensus to amend the motion to add to have a review every 2 years of the ordinance and strike the word "plastic" from lines 74 and 94.

LOCATION: Island Wide STAFF COMMENTS INTRODUCTION The Assembly has asked the borough attorney to draft and the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the attached draft ordinance. This ordinance would relax and eliminate much of what is required for building construction and zoning regulations in order to promote Hoop House (also called "high tunnel ", Poly Tunnels etc.) use. The approach recommended by the Borough Attorney is to add language to various code provision that would normally regulate Building Codes (Title 15) and Zoning (Title 17). Hoop house would be specifically defined as well as be specifically enumerated as "permitted use" in various zoning districts It is hard to argue about the benefits of the local production of vegetables. There are health and nutrition benefits associated with eating fresh locally grown produce that hasn't taken days or weeks to be shipped to Kodiak. But this ordinance is about the relaxation of the "use" requirements found in the zoning code, and the construction requirements found in the building code. Case 12 -025 Hoop House Ordinance Staff Report Page 1 of 3 Public Hearing Item 7 -D P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 HOOP HOUSES Hoop houses are simple structures that basically extend the growing season in Kodiak adverse climate. They are composed of a rigid frame covered generally with plastic or Visqueen. A mechanical fan is also installed to help dissipate latent heat that can build up and keep air flowing around what is a humid environment to prevent molding. Construction Code Because of the "light' nature of hoop house construction much of the building code is proposed to be exempted. Hoop houses for all practical purposes will not be classified as a building. 1. No foundation will be required, 2. No Engineer stamp will be required 3. The covering of the Hoop House will be of flexible material no greater than 10 mils 4. The support structure (framing) shall be composed of a non - combustible material Zoning From a Use perspective, the following zoning requirements will be relaxed: 1. Hoop houses can only be used for growing crops (and not to provide general storage) 2. The retail sale of produce cannot occur on -site 3. There will be a 1 foot setback requirement from all lot lines 4. Hoop houses will be no longer than 150 feet and no wider than 31 feet. 5. Hoop houses will be allowed on vacant lots in absence of a main building. 6. There is no height restriction CONCLUSION Exempting Hoop houses as proposed in this ordinance should be done on a trial basis and tagged for review in a couple of years. Kodiak experiences very high winds that are challenging to buildings that are regulated. Gardening is hard work (ask any gardener) that requires dedication to be successful. It is also human nature to store items in any kind of shelter providing dry storage in Kodiak. But that said, it is an experiment that should be given an opport Case 12 -025 Hoop House Ordinance Staff Report Page 2 of 3 Public Hearing Item 7 -D P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends reviewing the attached ordinance; suggest any changes that may arise during your evaluation and forwarding it to the Assembly with a recommendation to approve. APPROPRIATE MOTION MOTION: Move to forward an Ordinance FY2010, an ordinance relaxing portion of Title 15 (Building Code) and Title 17 (Zoning Code) to the Borough Assembly recommending that this ordinance be adopted and incorporated into the Borough code.

ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY B) Case 12 -022. Request an investigation, according to KIBC 17.205.030 (C) to rezone Lots 2- 10, Lot 12 and Lot 20, Block 2, Perez Estates Subdivision from R3 - Multi- Family Residential to R2 - Two Family Residential. The applicant is Alan & Rose Wolf. The location is various lots along Wilton White Way some with double frontage on Sharatin Road, 3100, 3084, 3052, and 3218 Wilton White Way and 7 lots with no assigned address. The zoning is R3- Multi- family Residential. Cassidy stated there may be some merit to this case and staff is recommending postponement to consider the whole block. COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED to postpone action on Case 12 -022 until the February 2012 regular commission meeting of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission and to expand the scope of review to include all lots in Block 2, Perez Estates Subdivision including Lots 1 to 16, Lot 17A -1 and Lots 18 to 21, subject to a new staff evaluation and public hearing at that time. The public hearing was opened & closed. Public testimony was given by: Rose Wolf spoke in support of the rezone stating there are safety issues and topography problems. Amanda Breedon spoke in support of the rezone stating there are drainage and safety issues Julia Barklow spoke in support of the rezone stating there are safety issues. Mike Reuter said he is not in favor of building on Sharatin. Kevin Arndt, MK Enterprises representative, spoke in opposition to the request and stated safety issues are on all streets, and the whole area is R3 that was predominately zoned for mobile home courts or apartment buildings. In response to Arndt's question are mobile homes are allowed on his properties, Cassidy stated mobile homes are single family residences so he could put one on each lot. Alan Wolf spoke in support of the rezone. Discussion ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY C) Case 12 -023. Request a Review, according to KIBC 18.20.030, to acquire interest in Borough land by permit, easement, or lease in order to construct a temporary 14' wide x 318' long logging road to access timber lands in Chiniak for a period of three years. The applicant is A -1 Timber and the location is Section 31, T29S R18W Seward Meridian and generally located between the Chiniak School and Pony Lake. The zoning is C- Conservation. 12/21/2011 P &Z Minutes Page 2 of 6 COMMISSIONER BALDWIN recused himself from this case. Cassidy reported this case is just about a road easement across borough lands. Staff's opinion and recommendation that the commission find this is not a good use of borough lands, there are impacts to the Chiniak residential community and to the community in general. There is the ability to access the same lands by using already existing roads nearby. COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED to approve and recommend to the borough assembly, by resolution, a Title 1.8 land disposal request according to KIBC 18.20.030 requested by A -1 Timber Consultants, Inc. to acquire interest in Borough land by permit, easement or lease in order to construct a temporary 14 foot wide x 318 foot long logging road across borough lands to access private timberlands in Chiniak for a period of three (3) years. The public hearing was opened & closes. Public testimony was given by: Perry Page spoke in opposition stating if you make an agreement make it with the property owner, not the logger, and set up an escrow account that Leisnoi will put money into so if they don't restore it at the end of the agreement the borough can restore it. Hob Happ spoke in opposition stating there would be another 500 feet that would have to come from the State and that hasn't been approved. The proposed road, if completed, will enter and exit right at Silver Beach, one of the most popular recreation areas on the road system. Jerry Tousignant spoke in opposition stating if there's an alternative route they should take it. It would just save money and it's not our responsibility to save them money. They have another access. Mary Brown spoke in opposition stating A -1 already has access at Twin Creeks, but Silver Beach is a very important recreational area. Richard Macintosh spoke in opposition stating he doesn't think the road in question is a good use of borough land, and it's not in the best interest of the borough citizens. With the decreased amount of public land on the road system, it's more incumbent on the public agencies that own the remaining pieces to manage them wisely and consider there are fewer places to recreate, and Silver Beach has a high value of public use. Stacy Studebaker, Audubon Society representative, spoke in opposition stating a logging road through a well - established residential area is inappropriate and incompatible, and a poor use of public land. There is so little public land left on the road system and what remains should be carefully managed for the long term benefits of future generations. Brent McCormick stated he's opposed to A -1 Timber's request. David Nesheim, A -1 Timber Resource Manager, spoke in favor of the request stating A -1's practices are governed by the Alaska Resource and Practices Act. They have 5 major drainages that are classified as anadromous waters and all run north and south and to minimize the effects on these streams they try not to cross them. Nesheim said A -1 Timber has an existing bridge but it needs to be replaced and when a bridge is replaced there will be impacts to the stream as we remove the old bridge and reconstruct a new one. The proposed access has none of these concerns and will allow them to work between the drainages and not across them. Mike Sirofchuck, Parks & Rec Committee Member, spoke in opposition stating he's participated in the planning process to create a Kodiak Road System Trails Plan that the commission has forwarded to the Assembly. He said there isn't a plan for the borough's use of that land right now and there needs to be community involvement and process by which the community of Chiniak and the community of Kodiak as a whole really look at that parcel of public land and decide what the best uses are for it. Sirofchuck said at this point, leasing that part of land is premature because we don't know what the public would like to see done with that land. He requests the commission not approve this request. 12/21/2011 P &Z Minutes Page 3 of 6 Cindy Trussell, National Wildlife Refuge Volunteer, spoke in opposition stating Marbled Murilet's nest in Sitka Spruce stands and the average in this area from 2005 to 2010 was 41, and in 2011 the count went down to 30 birds which is a 33% decline. She requests the commission deny this request. Susan Baker spoke in opposition stating the Chiniak residents met with the borough to update and meet the present uses in the area. Last year they also met to update their Comp Plan. They have received 2 letters of discontent about the A -1 Timber logging from Leisnoi Shareholders. There is growing concern by Chiniak residents and it will be a growing concern by Kodiak residents also as this logging company proceeds with its operation toward Kodiak. We need to stop and look at the bigger picture. John Sweeney spoke in opposition stating Pony Lake will be closely impacted should this easement be allowed, and A -1 has an access they could be using. He said there are environmental and safety concerns and above all residents will be impacted because their peace and beauty will be disrupted with those trucks entering the roadway around Silver Beach. Sweeney said there's a delicate balance between resource development and what impact that has on the property owners. Virginia Adams spoke in opposition stating any logging road that goes in will be there, and it concerns her when someone says that they picking this location because of stream degradation possibilities and that shouldn't exist in our conversation. Because they have to build a new bridge should not be a reason to use a new route. There should never be any degradation. Adams urged the commission to deny this request. During discussion, there was consensus to not support this request. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION FA /LED 4 -0 COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED to approve the findings provided in the staff report as Findings of Fact for this case. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The proposed road will be located between a residential subdivision and the Chiniak School. 2.

Disposal means any transfer of real property, which is defined as any interest in real property including fee, easement, leasehold interest and revocable license or permit. KIBC 18.20.030 requires review of each disposal by the planning commission before submission to the Assembly with a recommendation. The basic request here is for a "...temporary access road permit." KIBC 18.50.010.A.1 requires a negotiated permit, easement, or right -of -way for use of Borough property for a road. Whether the easement or permit would be exclusive or non- exclusive and whether a sixty (60) foot wide cleared corridor is necessary for a fourteen (14) foot wide road are questions that would remain to be resolved. By whatever terminology it is described, any disposal must be for fair market value as required by KIBC 18.20.100.A. In similar circumstances, the State of Alaska authorizes access road across state property by lease, fair market value of which is calculated by formula. The KIB could also choose to employ this method. A second component of the disposal that has been discussed, should the logging road be approved and the Manager choose to exercise the option available in KIBC 18.70.020., is sale of timber by negotiated sales as addressed in KIBC 18.70.020. This would apply only to trees cleared for the road construction, which would be considerably less than the 250,000 board feet maximum allowable under this section. This option would require additional review since the PL- Public Use Land zoning district requires a conditional use permit for natural resource extraction (KIBC 17.130.070.E). While mechanisms are clearly in place to facilitate this kind of disposal of interest in Borough land under Title 18, the commission should also give due consideration to the broader question about land use itself and the suitability of this proposed use in the context of the Comprehensive Plan and Borough Strategic Plan adopted by the Assembly. There is a convergence of goals of both of these documents with the intent underlying the Commission's duty to review proposed land disposals at public hearing. Section 5 of the Strategic Plan states that, in pursuing the Borough's core strategies "...to build and maintain credibility, trust, and accountability to the public, we must work...to allocate resources wisely..." and "...listen carefully to our citizens and to fully and effectively inform them of how our actions are addressing their needs and concerns." Chapter 11 (Local Communities) of the Borough Comprehensive Plan, in addressing the economy, outlines the following as a policy to achieve the goal of retaining residents and improving quality of life: "Ensure that timber harvesting is conducted in a manner that minimizes adverse environmental impacts and conflicts with adjacent land uses." (p.83) Pursuit of the greater public good through management of Borough lands and resources requires balancing competing interests. In this case, a private economic interest is weighed against potential negative impacts of a road supporting a use that is industrial in nature. Some of those impacts can be mitigated by measures to reforest and restore vegetation, prevent erosion, and protect drainage and habitat. But there are legitimate questions both about how "temporary" a road, once established, would actually be, and also regarding the level of oversight that would be required, and practical, to ensure compliance with performance standards. On the other hand, the portion of the proposed logging road on State of Alaska land is over a gravel material site that was first established in the early 1970's and could conceivably be reutilized as a rock quarry or storage yard at any time on short notice without public hearing. In final analysis, if the public cost outweighs the private benefit, a disposal is not consistent with goals of public lands management. In this case, access and a network of logging roads already exist approximately one mile to the north. Development of another logging road intersection on the Chiniak Highway at this location, which has limitations on line of sight and is immediately adjacent to an established residential neighborhood, is not essential to achieve the private interest objective of harvesting the targeted timbered lands behind Pony Lake.

Kodiak, AK 99615 Dear Bud, A -1 Timber Consultants Inc is proposing for Community Development's review and approval of a temporary access road permit to cross approximately 318 feet of Borough Property located in Section 31, Township 29 South, Range 18 West, of the Seward Meridian (see attached map). We propose to construct a temporary 14 foot wide access road from the Chiniak Highway to the property line common to the Borough and Leisnoi Inc. Approximately 318 feet of this road will be on Borough parcel #18826. In addition, we are requesting a clearing limit of 30 feet either side of road center line for a total of 60 foot R /W. This will equal approximately 0.4 acre of area. The road construction will at a minimum meet the standards found in the Alaska Forest Resources and Practices Regulations and Department of Transportation Highway Access Standards. We are requesting this temporary access for a period of three year to commence upon the Borough's approval. Any timber found within the clearing limits will be identified by ownership and set aside for disposal determined by the timber owner. Residual limbs and tree tops will be piled for disposal as determined by the lands owner. Upon completion of the three year period the road bed will be stabilized or removed according to land owner's direction or at a minimum to the standards found in the Alaska Forest Resources and Practices Regulations. The clearing limits not encumbered by the road way will be reforested at a rate of 250 trees per acre of Sitka Spruce seedlings suitable for the Kodiak area. After reviewing our request please feel free to contact us if you need any further clarification. Sincerely, Mohr' b David Nesheim, Resource Manager A -1 Timber Consultants Inc.

Location: Section 31, Township 29S R18W SM and generally between the Chiniak School and Pony Lake Zoning: C- Conservation Testimony Name: Bonnie Weisser Cosentino Mailing Address: 1736 Victoria Way, San Marcos, CA 92069 Property Description: I am one of the co- owners of the lot most directly affected by the proposed road, with the road bordering two sides of our lot. Lot 12 is embraced in US Survey 3473, containing 4.52 acres, more or less, Township 29 South, Range 18 and 19 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska, recorded in Book 20D, page 210 of Kodiak Recording District. Comments: I was raised on Kodiak Island along with my sisters and brother. To enjoy relaxed family time, we would escape to our cabin at Chiniak on weekends. Here we enjoyed fishing, hiking and nature. My dad built this cabin with this intention. Our Weisser family has now grown to over 65 strong and we all love to bring our families back to our "home" to enjoy the peacefulness and beauty. 1 now live in southern California so Chiniak is even more of a treasure to me. The proposed logging activity is devastating to us all: - the beautiful drive will becomes treacherous - the enjoyment of fishing in Alaska only a walk away from our residence will be destroyed - the beauty of the spruce trees will be gone These three aspects — beauty, fishing and trees — are the definition of Alaska to me. The prospect of a logging road comes at an enormous cost to residents in this area. I hope you will consider the effects this will have on the environment and nearby residents and deny this permit. Thank you for your consideration, a 1 n .., om V Property Owner AI DEC - 6 2011 Bonnie Weisser Cosentino COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Dec. 5, 2011 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 5 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 Sheila Smith From: jonathan edwards <lowcapel @yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 2:52 PM To: Sheila Smith Subject: Access permit/Chiniak logging road 12/6/2011 Kodiak Island Planning & Zoning Committee Case 12 -023 A -1 Timber Consultants Inc. Request: Review according to KIB 1820.030 to aquire interest in Borough land by permit,easement or lease in order to construct a temporary 14' wide, 318'long logging road to access timber lands in Chniak for a period of 3 years. Comments: My name is Virginia Adams. My husband, Jonathan Edwards and I own and live on Lots 5 & 6 of US Survey 3473 on Pony Lake, Chiniak. Our property is in the same conservation district as the proposed easement. We strongly urge the P &Z to deny this request. 1: Safety The location of the proposed logging road access to the Chiniak Highway is very close to a blind curve both coming and going to the Chiniak School. The existing logging road just 1 mile towards town at the base of Whalebone Hill has clear visibility from both directions. 2: Adjacent property owner: The location of the proposed logging road is directly next to the Weisser land and home. It seems that with all the land that Lesnoi claims to own in Chiniak, they could make every attempt not to even consider developing roads directly adjacent to existing homes. I'm sure everyone of you would be greatly distressed if you heard of a logging road being put on your property line!! Again, the EXISTING logging road a mile away, which access' the same timber area, affects no property owner. 3: Temporary: I challenge everyone reading this to show me a "temporary" logging road. They do not exist, so let's be honest, there is nothing temporary about this request. 4: Existing access road: As I have said, the existing logging road at the base of Whalebone Hill access' the Lesnoi timber that apparently will be cut soon. There is extensive development of roads in that area from the last logging operation. It makes sense to utilize that access. It has been said that the existing bridge over Twin Creek on this logging road needs repair. That seems to be a much more logical plan then disrupting this part of the Chinaik community by cutting in a new road on an existing homeowners property line. 5: Degredation of existing scenic area: Silver Beach, directly across from where this proposed logging road would be, is a much loved area by Chiniak residents as well as by Kodiak town residents who use it for camping, walking and sport fishing. Mixing those long held pleasures with industrial logging operations makes no sense when an existing route is a mile away. 6: Summary: The Kodiak Island Borough, as well as the State of Alaska, should make every effort possible to minimize the negative effects of the present industrial logging operation in Chiniak from the residents of Chiniak as well as Kodiak residents who use Chinaik for recreation. It is in the Borough and State's interest to maintain as much as possibleof the natural beauty of Chiniak. This would be achieved by allowing the minimum of logging access roads to Lcsnoi timber. At the minimum, access roads should not be permitted where pre existing access is close. 1 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 6 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 On a closing note. Chiniak residents now live and operate on an industrial logging haul road. We have what I would call "crisis management" road maintanencc. As it appears we will be sharing the Chiniak I- Iighway with logging trucks for years to come, there should be a designated road maintnence plan for the Chiniak Highway.

Comments: 1. My family and I enjoyed some time at our cabin this past summer, August, 2011. Chiniak is known for its quiet peaceful atmosphere. We noticed this pristine environment interrupted by frequent logging trucks rumbling by from early morning hours until evening. What a disappointment that our quiet time was spoiled by this environmental degradation. 2. While we were there, we saw the stream, down the road from our cabin, teeming with salmon. This is the same stream near where the logging road is being proposed. We observed local fishing boats as well 1 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 8 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 as private parties fishing the fruit of this stream. Has the effect that logging will have on this stream been considered? Do we really want to decrease the flow of salmon in our area? 3. Part of the reason my siblings and I decided to keep this cabin after our father passed away was because of its remote location, with beautiful tall trees surrounding it. Some of these trees contain bald eagle's nests. We observed an eagle daily watching us from a tree top this summer. What effect will this logging have on these eagles? 4. For the above considerations, I strongly oppose the Borough accepting the permit for this logging road to be constructed in the proposed location.

I am one of the co- owners of Lot 12. The other five co- owners are my siblings. Our father, E Richard Weisser, became the first patented landowner in Chiniak on July 15, 1960, after twelve long years of working first with the BLM then the State of Alaska to open those lands up for private ownership. It was not an easy task and he faced many obstacles but his perseverance paid off and we and other Chiniak property owners have him to thank. We were all born and raised on Kodiak and although our father passed away in 2001, our mother is still alive and one of her greatest desires is to make a visit to our little "slice of paradise" next summer, in her 90` year! She loves it as much as we and her 33 grandchildren and 27 great - grandchildren do! Our extended family includes professionals in many areas, including the natural resource sciences and the legal fields. We have all collaborated together and realize there arc many reasons why we think the Borough should deny this permit for a logging road. These objections are ecological, environmental, practical, financial, and legal. Here are just a few: 1. Lack of an environmental impact study on what this action would do to this area so rich in natural resources. 2. Loss of property value for us and other owners of property in the arca. 3. Of particular concern is the salmon stream which would be adversely affected by this project. 4. Impractical location of an intersection of a logging road near a recreational beach area. 5. Dangerous location for an intersection of a logging road with impaired visibility for cars coming from both directions due to a sharp corner and a rise in road. 6. The noise and fumes as well as danger of logging trucks on the narrow Chiniak highway. 7. Failure of the governing authorities to provide proper oversight on the existing logging operation on the Leisnoi properties at Chiniak. It has been documented that many rules of the Forest Practices Act have been violated on the Leisnoi properties. 8. As for the statement that this will be a temporary road, this stems to be in contradiction to a statement by Jerrol Friend as quoted in the July 29, 201 1 edition of the Kodiak Daily Mirror: "Assembly member Jerrol Friend agreed the timber sale should be set as a priority, noting that another advantage of the sale would be building pioneer roads that open land for future development." (Hanna, 7/29/11) 9. Lastly, the speed of which this proposal is being advanced. One of our neighbors in Chiniak knew nothing about this proposal until 1 told her today! (Dec. 3, 2011) 2 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 11 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 We understand that the Borough is facing budget shortfall problems, but we feel that there are much better ways to tackle this problem than the quick -fix solution of raising money by destroying this beautiful temperate rainforest. In 2010, the National Geographic Society included the drive to Chiniak in a wonderful book they published entitled Drives of a Lifetime — 500 of the World's Most Spectacular Trips. Here is a quote: "Zigzagging along the coast of Kodiak Island, this drive shows off deep bays, temperate rain forest, alpine meadows, rolling tundra, wildlife — including emperor geese, silver salmon, and bald eagles - and a dramatic shoreline pounded by waves and turbulent tides." (Bellows, 2010, p. 70) (The book then gives very clear directions on how to get out to Chiniak to enjoy these resources.) Has the Borough considered the damage this project will do to all of these priceless assets of Chiniak? Can you imagine driving out that beautiful strctch of road only to see logging trucks and barren landscapes instead of the "take your breath away" beauty that is presently there? We have watched in frustration as the Lcisnoi Corporation has decimated their properties out at Chiniak, but never did we think the Borough of Kodiak would consider doing the same. This is public land to be enjoyed by all. Kodiak needs to appreciate the fact that it has beauty that is unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Did you notice that the book is called 500 of the WORLD'S Most Spectacular Trips? Not of the State of Alaska, and not even of the United States, but OF THE WORLD! That is truly amazing! Let's do everything in our power to preserve that for future generations.

Comments: The two most significant reasons that I enjoy and appreciate our family cabin and land in Chiniak are: peacefulness and beauty. When I have been at the cabin, I am lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves on the beach. When I was there for a week during the summer of 2010, I really appreciated this peacefulness that I must admit I took for granted when I was growing up. Going back now is like visiting an oasis - -the polar opposite of living in the "big city" of Anchorage. On that trip, we drove out as far as we could on the road system beyond our cabin. We observed endless miles of desolation and destruction caused by temporary roads being cut into the wilderness, with stumps and brush just thrown hither and yon. There was a constant, annoying, irritating noise from heavy equipment. We were so glad to be able to go back to the cabin to get away from that nightmare. The second factor in my appreciation and enjoyment of our cabin in Chiniak is the natural beauty of the area. The trees are magnificent. My mother told me that as a small child of about three years old, she heard me one day asking God if He would move some of those beautiful trees to town (Kodiak!) It is so wonderful to be able to be in the middle of the forest, able to romp at will through the mossy trails, picking berries along the way. It would be devastating to me personally to even consider the thought of these simple but profound pleasures being destroyed by clearing for a "temporary" road. Our solitude would be ruined forever. Please don't do this!

It appears that the purpose of the proposed road is to access timber on the borough property adjacent to private and state land. The sale of timber on the borough property in Chiniak has substantial local opposition and should not be considered without a proper public hearing. As such, this request should be denied.

Comments: I am grateful for the opportunity to express my concerns regarding the proposed logging road and thank you for taking the time to read my appeal. I am writing this letter in hopes you will deny A -1 Timber Consultants, Inc. the permit necessary to construct a logging road in Chiniak. The proposed road boarders my family's property (parcel 18286) on two sides, and I am opposed to its construction for several reasons. As a geologist, I deal extensively with anthropogcnic and environmental interactions. The scientific community is profusely aware of the adverse impact vegetation removal has on the surrounding environment. The proposed road parallels a permanent stream. A primary concern of vegetation loss associated with this construction is increased erosion and consequential sediment inundation into adjacent streams. Once mobilized, loose sediments migrate down slope, choke streams, alter groundwater infiltration, and disrupt the entire hydrologic system. Seemingly harmless road construction is capable of initiating this process of degradation. Regardless of the distance from the stream, the proposed road lies well within the watershed boundary and all runoff will have adverse affects on the stream. For Chiniak, these changes will have a devastating impact on its unique salmon population and those who depend on its existence (e.g. sport fishing industry and Alaska's treasure, the Kodiak bear). Recreational activities including fishing, hiking, and picnicking will also suffer. Diesel fumes, oil leaks, and increased CO2 emissions will cause irreversible damage to the area. The increased traffic, noise, and pollutions will disturb both wildlife and tourism. Safety should be a paramount factor when considering this decision. The narrow, winding Chiniak roads with blind curves prove dangerous as it is. Increasing logging traffic, especially at the proposed intersection across from the scenic beach, is compromising public safety. Additionally, I am interested in state of compliance Leisnoi Corporation has with the National Historic Preservation Act 1966 Section 106, which requires a cultural resource survey to be completed prior to land development of any kind. Archaeological artifacts in the United States are federally protected. Constructing this road is impractical and unnecessary. The land where the proposed road leads is fully accessible one mile from the proposed new road. Why is the road near Twin Creek not adequate for accessing the land? The state of Alaska and the Kodiak Borough should feel no obligation whatsoever to accommodate Leisnoi and A -1 Timber's absurd permit request. A -1 Timber's application states the nature of the proposed road as temporary. This seems doubtful. If this is the case however, what will become of the road after the three -year period? It will likely only facilitate vandalism and decrease landowners' property value and privacy. 1 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 16 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 Aside from the scientific, economic, safety, archaeological, and logistical concerns, I am writing this letter as a personal appeal. My grandfather homesteaded the land bordering the proposed road and it has been an immeasurable source of joy to my family ever since. 1 have spent months at a time throughout my childhood at our cabin in Chiniak. The peacefulness surrounding our cabin is my most cherished childhood memory. I want nothing more than to maintain the serenity of Chiniak for the generations to come. I have spent countless moments in awe of the shear beauty Kodiak Island exudes and I am horrified at the thought of a road destroying all that my grandfather has worked for. Please consider the nearly 100 people from this family alone who oppose this logging road. It truly is one of the last great places left in the world. I encourage you to thoroughly consider the negative impacts this road has on Chiniak. Should this permit be granted, [ personally feel it will represent the beginning of the end.

I would like to pull a couple of quotes from the KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 11 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE YEARS 2011 -2015 adopted as KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH RESOLUTION NO. FY2011 -17 on 02/03/2011. I have left the line numbers for quick reference to the original resolution and I have highlighted comments of particular note: Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 18 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 40 CUSTOMERS 41 We will operate in a customer - driven manner both internally and externally with a 42 focus'on treating all persons with courtesy and respect.

Planning and Zoning Goals and Objectives — Community Development 363 1. Develop a framework to create a "sustainable community ", one that does not focus 364 on the quantity of growth, but the quality of life and balances short term needs of the 365 community with the long term results of development. 366 a. Develop a work plan that addresses the health, safety, and welfare of existing 367 neighborhoods by preventing their physical and economic degradation and 368 promotes the quality of growth through the revitalization of infrastructure and public areas. It should be granted that the KIB has a great responsibility and challenge in balancing the needs of its citizens and pursuing the greatest good for all. The Strategic Plan to accomplish this, adopted by the KIS, is a good one and is worthy Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 19 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 of public support. The challenge with the proposed Chiniak logging project is that it creates a scenario where the KIB must choose between portions of the Strategic Plan rather than embrace the whole. While the KIB has the right to pursue logging resources for the public benefit, we question the ethics of taking from Chiniak property owners (a small voice) to pursue a benefit to the city of Kodiak (a big voice and the consumer of most KIB revenue). The revenue earned, even if paid in whole to the property owners effected, would not offset the loss. Please don't degrade the value of property that is farther from home, to benefit the ones that are closer. Please stick to your commitment to develop a plan that prevents the physical and economic degradation of existing neighborhoods, even the one way out in Chiniak.

Comments: Due to the short amount of time we had to respond to the notice of the Public Hearing regarding the proposed logging road out at Chiniak, we tried to do research on it over the weekend. We wrongly assumed that the road being proposed was to reach Kodiak Island Borough land in order to log the land owned by the Borough. This was mainly based on an article from the Kodiak Daily Mirror dated July 29, 2011 that stated the Borough was considering logging the 800 or so acres owned by the Borough and that this project would most likely start in December of this year. Since speaking with Bud Cassidy on Monday, Dec. 5, 2011, we now understand that we were wrong. We now know that the proposed logging road is to reach land owned by the Leisnoi Corporation. However this does not change our objection to allowing a permit for this road to be built. We know we cannot tell Leisnoi what to do on their own land, but we still feel very strongly against having the road put in and that for all the various reasons we stated. The only one we would like to retract is the one about the Borough making money off of this. We apologize for making this wrong assumption. We also now know that the easement is mostly on State land. For that reason, we would also like to be advised on how we can object to this proposed logging road at the State level. We are asking to be advised of any public hearings or meetings on this matter and to be given the names and addresses of any and all State employees we should contact. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.

Comments: As a "fume" generation land owner I have great concern about the purposed possible logging and the possible building of logging road's in Chiniak. 1 have spent many family sacalions as a child and also time as an adult at our family cabin in Chiniak. Over the years 1 have been so saddened by the decimation that has taken place on other Togged lands funkier down the road. The lack of rare towards logging guidelines is evi- dent to anyone who is brave enough to dove down the many dangerous, and uncured for, winding Togging roads. The mere thought that the same type of logging could occur next to the property line of our pristine vacation getaway concerns me gravely. Please take time to consider us the "future" generations that desire to continue enjoying the beauty and serenity that Chiniak has to offer and the possibility to pass this treasure onto our future generations. The logging may seem profitable, and painless from a distance (albeit 40 miles away), but for those of us that enjoy spending time hiking the forests, fishing the rivers, picnicking on the beach and vacationing at our family cabin in Chini- ak, please consider the cost this will be to us, and also for those living in the area.

RE: Case 12 -023 A -1 Timber Request for road easement Here are my comments; 1. My preference would be for KIB to sell or trade the property in question, rather than granting an easement that encumbers KIB property. I don't know how easy /hard that is. But, if KIB did not own the property, there would be no issue, no need for an easement. 2. KIB will incur costs to administer the casement. I don't know what compensation KIB will receive for granting this easement. 3. I'd prefer KIB deal with the adjacent property owner, for whom the easement ultimately benefits. A -1 is a transient agent. I prefer a more permanent partner for KIB. If approved; monitoring and enforcement of the easement provisions will be a 3 to 5 year proposition (until reforestation proves successfully established). Additionally, 1 believe the provisions should be clear and precise at the time the easement is granted, and part of the public process ; including disposition of the timber, what to do with cuttings, and a decision made on whether the road bed is stabilized or removed. To sort this out later, seems risky. 3. On the plus side, harvesting of timber on private property in Chiniak is going to happen. It's only a matter of time. The proposed access road, probably speeds the process, speeds disruption, speeds reforesting, and probably reduces environmental impacts that would arise from alternative routes to the timber sources. And, it potentially encourages future development of private /public lands. 4. There is a parallel existing KEA easement that needs to be considered. 5. The intersection of the temporary road with the Chiniak Highway should be carefully engineered and maintained for traffic safety. This may be a State /State DOT issue, and not within the purview of KIB. 6. I'm not certain what avenues KIB has regarding input to the _State;s decisibn?to`grant their portion of the easement. As I recall, this parcel of Land was retained by the'in their 'reit JSe Ilan as a mineral extraction site. _ ;' Jiff )/ Thanks —John Miller 41716 Cf[iniak Hwy 907 654 3044 Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 25 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 710 Mill Bay Road.

Carolyn Mullenix Public Hearing Notice Case 12 -023 Applicant: A -1 Timber Consultants, Inc. Request: Review according to KIBC 18.20.030 to acquire interest in Borough land by perniit, easement, or Icasc in order to construct a temporary 14' wide, 318' long logging road to access timber lands in Chiniak for a period of three years. Location: Section 31, Township 29S R18W SM and generally between the Chiniak School and Pony Lake Zoning: C- Conservation Testimony Name: Carolyn (Weisser) Mullenix Mailing Address: P.O. Box 788, Randle, Washington 98377 Property Description: I am one of the co- owners of the lot most directly affected by the proposed road, with the road bordering two sides of our lot. Lot 12 is embraced in US Survey 3473, containing 4.52 acres, more or less, Township 29 South, Range 18 and 19 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska, recorded in Book 20D, page 210 of Kodiak Recording District. Comments: 1. I am concerned about the negative impact of the proposed logging on salmon habitat, in particular the stream which flows through the land for which A -1 Timber Consultants have applied for a permit, easement, or lease in order to construct a temporary logging road for three years in order to access timber lands. Have you conducted an environmental impact study? Will the road really be temporary? I read in the Kodiak Mirror (July 29,1022) that an assembly member, Jerrol Friend, noted that an "advantage of the sale would be building pioneer roads than open land for future development ". Is this an environmentally wise plan? 2. On a personal note, I am concerned about the loss of the clean and quiet rural surroundings offered by our cabin at Chiniak. The construction of, and eventual use of a logging road, adjacent to our property will undoubtedly turn those surroundings into a memory. Please consider my concerns as well as those sent to you by others, and deny the permit for this logging road to be constructed in the proposed location.

Your map shows the road running right along two sides of the Weisser's 4.5 acre lot. The main road runs on the north boundary and the proposed logging road bounds the cast and south sides of the lot. Pony Lake bounds the west. Since this is recreational property, it would seem appropriate to leave at least a 100 ft buffer zone. 2) Is the best location for the road on one side of the property to be logged? It would seem more efficient for the project to locate the road in the middle of the property. We need to see all the details of this proposed project. I am especially interested in the location of the road.

Box 578 Kodiak AK 99615 CASE:12 -023 I own property at mile 42 in Chiniak. On the whole it looks like a good idea to give access across Borough Land to A -1 Timber Consultants, Inc., that way it helps to move the logs out of that area. But, a few things must be considered. 1. The Borough should contract a land use permit with land owners Lenois not A- _ 1 Timber Consultants, Inc. A -1 Timber Consultants, Inc. is here today and gone tomorrow. Lenois is the land owner and a neighbor. 2. My agreement should specify that the property be returned to the same natural state as it was before the agreement. An escrow account should be established for the purpose of cleaning up this area, just in case the pemuttee does not comply with the cleanup stipulations. 3. How about swapping this Borough land with Lenois land? Iam sure there are other considerations. _Pp?

Thanks, Randy Weisser, Chiniak Property owner. i Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 34 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 Kodiak Island Borough Community Development Department Public Hearing Notice Case 12 -023 Applicant: A -I Timber Consultants, Inc. Request: Review according to KIBC 18.20.030 to acquire interest in Borough land by permit, easement, or lease in order to construct a temporary 14' wide, 318' long logging road to access timber lands in Chiniak for a period of three years. Location: Section 31, Township 29S R I 8W SM and generally between the Chiniak School and Pony Lake Zoning: C- Conservation Testimony Name: Randy Weisser Mailing Address: PO Box 788, Randle, WA, 98377 -0788 Property Description: We are the co -owner of the lot most directly affected by the proposed road, with the road bordering two sides of our lot. Lot 12 in embraced in US Survey 3473, containing 4.52 acres, more or less, Township 29 South, Range 18 and 19 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska, recorded in Book 20D, page 210 of Kodiak Recording District. Comments: 1. This proposed road will border a very productive and active salmon stream that provides both sport and commercial fisherman with a valuable resource. We are concerned that this road cannot be built without adversely impacting this salmon stream. It will certainly necessitate tree removal possibly leading to the erosion of the river banks. We would be interested to know if a study has been done on the impact to this salmon stream. 2. As property owners, we feel that constructing this logging road on two sides of our lot, with the bulldozing and tree removal necessitated, will have a negative impact on the value of our beach front, forested lot. This will create a treeless border on three sides of our lot. 3. Without question, the beach fronting this proposed road is one of the most beautiful beaches on the road system, edged by virgin, old growth trees and with an expansive view across Chiniak Bay to Pillar Mountain. It has become increasingly popular for salmon and trout fishing, beach combing and picnicking by Kodiak residents and tourists. It appears that the proposed road would remove one of the regular pullouts for people using the beach and would certainly Case No 12 -023 A -1 Timber Public Comment Page 35 of 36 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 diminish the quality of the recreation experience with logging trucks entering and exiting on beach front property. 4. In addition, this proposed road may create a potentially dangerous intersection. Coming from the west the road dips down to Pony Lake, with a small rise just before the intersection that would prevent a view of logging trucks entering the road. Coming from the east there is a sharp corner just before the proposed intersection that would also prevent a view of the intersection. 4. For the above reasons, we ask the Borough to deny the permit for this logging road to be constructed in the proposed location.

STAFF COMMENTS INTRODUCTION The applicant/agent is requesting the ability to cross approximately 318 lineal feet of borough owned land in an effort to construct a logging road 14 feet wide. This road is needed to access Leisnoi, Inc. owned timber lands. A -1 Timber Consultants have a timber harvesting contract with Leisnoi, Inc. and will use this road as one of their main trunks leading to the Chiniak Highway. Logging trucks, harvesting equipment and company vehicles are expected to use this road. The request is for a three year term with the road to be removed after that timeframe. This proposed roadway will also cross 508 feet of a state of Alaska "material site" that sits between the Chiniak Road and the borough land (see map). Our research shows that the land under the material site is owned by Leisnoi, Inc. but is subject to use of the land for a material source by the Department of Transportation (DOT). A similar request to cross the material site is being reviewed by DOT. A recent conversation with DOT representative Danika Simpson - Golden suggests that DOT will not finalize their comments until after the borough completes their review. Case No. 12 -023 A -1 Timber Staff Report Page 2 of 7 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 Debate about this case should not be about the ability of Leisnoi, Inc. to log their land. That right is permitted, upheld, and guaranteed by the borough code as a "Permitted Use ". Specifically KIBC 17.50.020(H) allows "by right" (meaning without borough review) the following use: Timber harvesting activities and transportation and utility facilities constructed in support of permitted timber harvesting activities .. . Therefore, the commission should focus its review not on the issue of logging, but on the use of borough land for accessing privately owned timbered lands. That is, the commission should base their decision not on the provisions of Title 17 (Zoning), but on the provisions found in Title 18 (Borough Real Property). TITLE 18- BOROUGH REAL PROPERTY (LAND AND RESOURCES) Title 18 of Borough Code provides the regulations and borough policies associated with the management of borough owned lands and resources. The Borough owns a substantial land and resource base acquired from the state of Alaska. Land and resources were promised to local governments as the "carrot" to organize as a county - like unit of government. As a result of organizing as a regional government, the Kodiak Island Borough was entitled to 56,500 acres. Boroughs around the state were given a land base in an effort to make them self - sufficient entities not having to rely on the state of Alaska for basic needs. These lands and resources would become the economic base for boroughs. In Kodiak's case, land was sold, leased and given away and resources (rock, sand and gravel) were leased or sold. Money derived from such disposals was added to the Borough's budget to use for all residents of the island. As stated, Title 18 is really a set of guidelines for the Borough administrative personnel who will manage these land and resource assets. Title 18 is broken down into the following real property policies: ➢ Acquisition of land; ➢ Disposition of land; ➢ Exchange of lands; ➢ Protection of Borough land and resources; and. ➢ Development of resources found on Borough lands. Case No. 12 -023 A -1 Timber Staff Report Page 3 of 7 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 The Planning and Zoning Commission has a limited role in Title 18, but a specific one. As the Borough's land use body, the commission is required to review the acquisition of real property; the disposal of real property, and the exchange of borough real property with other entities. Specific language found in Title 18 identifies the commission's duties. 1. In KIBC 18.10.030, the commission reviews real property acquired by the Borough including real property acquired through tax foreclosure to determine if there is a public value in the land and should be retained, or if there is not a public value to dispose of it. 2. In KIBC 18.20.030 the commission reviews and recommends to the Assembly each disposal of borough real property. A recommendation, by resolution, is made to the Assembly on the disposal. 3. Borough real property that is exchanged with another entity is required to be reviewed by the Commission under KIBC 18.80 with a recommendation to the Borough Assembly. Unfortunately, Title 18 does not give the commission guidance on how to evaluate land disposal requests. There are no identified criteria in the code like there is when evaluating a request for a variance, where the commission is given 6 criteria that must be met before granting a variance. Unfortunately as well, the Kodiak Coastal Management Plan, which could have provided some guidance, is no longer in effect. The 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update does provide discussion about not locating non compatible uses next to each other and providing a buffer between these uses. TITLE 18 REVIEW OF LOGGING ROAD ACROSS KIB LAND In this request, the commission is being asked to review a "disposal" of borough land for logging road purposes and to make a recommendation, by resolution, to the Assembly. Though there is limited guidance, there are a number of things that the commission can consider: As stated above, borough land as well as its rock, sand and gravel and timber are resources to be developed in an effort to grow the local tax base. Revenues derived from the borough's resources are used to fund improvements in the form of schools, roads, fire stations, tsunami evacuation centers etc. These revenues can also be used to keep private property taxes low. The products and revenues from Borough owned resources are for the "benefit" of the island. But there are a number of non - consumptive uses of Borough land that are equally important to residents. Examples of non - consumptive uses include: hunting, hiking, fishing, and other forms of recreation as well as subsistence use. Borough land also has significant habitat value. Case No. 12 -023 A -1 Timber Staff Report Page 4 of 7 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 The CHALLENGE for any community is to find the balance between land and resource development and land retention for non - consumptive uses and activities. ANALYSIS - THE "SHOULD" AND THE "HOW" The commission can review this request from two perspectives: the "Should" and the "How ". The "SHOULD" considers whether what is being proposed is a good use of Borough land. The "HOW" has to do with structuring an agreement to use borough lands (lease, rent rate, agreement etc.) On its face this request appears to be just a minor request to cross a short section of borough owned land. The Kodiak Island Borough has "disposed' of land in the past to promote economic development. But it is staff's opinion that there is more to this request and that granting this use of borough lands will have unwanted effects to the Chiniak community and specifically to the adjacent residential area. These impacts could last up to three years or even longer should the Borough choose to log borough lands in this vicinity. A -1 Timber has developed other access routes to these timbered lands that do not directly impact Chiniak residents and are away from residentially zoned lands. Those accesses can be found at Twin Creeks which is located within a mile of this proposed road as well as further out toward the end of the Chiniak Highway. The applicant has not made the case that this one particular access route is so vital to their logging operation that it justifies the long term impacts to this residential neighborhood. Should the request been one that was away from residential subdivisions, the staff recommendation would have been one of support. With publically owned land, citizens have the right to provide feedback and be involved in a process that disposes public resources. Chiniak residents and property owners have done so by returning a large number of public hearing notices stating objection to the proposal. Though a lot of the comments are about the effects of logging, which is not part of this review, it has shown a neighborhood galvanized in opposition to having a road at this location. The 2008 Chiniak Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 11, page 80) supports their concerns by identifying as a high priority issue the need for a buffer between residential and conflicting uses such as logging and identified as a major goal for the community (Chapter 11, page 83) Ensure that timber harvesting is coordinated in a manner that minimizes environmental impacts and conflicts with adjacent land uses. Case No. 12 -023 A -1 Timber Staff Report Page 5 of 7 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 The "HOW" is about the mechanism used to dispose this land and is important to enumerate should the commission not agree with staff and conclude that the request is a legitimate use of Borough land. Some of the "How" things to consider include: • The structure an agreement allowing the use of Borough land that will include terms of use, rental rates, reclamation of the road as well as concerns brought up during your review. A number of environmental concerns brought up by residents (wetland use, salmon stream impacts restoration issues etc.) will be reviewed by the state and feds as A -1 Timber Consultant's Detailed Plan of Operation or Cutting plan is reviewed. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends forwarding this request for disposal of an interest in Borough lands to the Borough Assembly with a recommendation not to approve. APPROPRIATE MOTION MOTION: Move to adopt the following resolution containing a recommendation to the Borough Assembly regarding a request for a land disposal, per Kodiak Island Borough Code 18.20.030. Now therefore be it resolved by the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission that: The applicant in Case 12 -023 has requested the ability to traverse across Borough land identified as a portion ofASLS 73 -119 with a logging road to harvest trees on land of an adjacent owner. This proposed road would run a distance of 318 feet long and have a 14 foot width. The borough land in question is located between a residential area and the Chiniak School The negative impacts of the road will interrupt what is a quiet residential neighborhood for a period of three years. Case No. 12 -023 A -1 Timber Staff Report Page 6 of 7 Public Hearing Item 7 -C P &Z Meeting December 21, 2011 The ability to log adjacent land will not be prevented with the denial of this request as there are alternative access points in the area that are not adjacent to a residential area. The disposal of borough land for logging road purposes is hereby not recommended for approval by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly.

I am requesting a revision to Kodiak Island Borough Code, Chapter 2.120, Parks and Recreation Committee. School district representation to the Parks and Recreation Committee would be best served by a school district staff member, rather than a School Board member, whose position is more closely connected to hazardous routes to school and the development of safe trail systems. Should the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve this requested revision to their Code, Superintendent Stewart McDonald will forward the name of an appropriate staff member to participate as a nonvoting ex officio member of the Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee.

ORIGINATOR: Borough Clerk FISCAL IMPACT: ❑ Yes $ or ® No Funds Available ❑ Yes ❑ No Account Number: Amount Budgeted: ATTACHMENTS: Memo from City Clerk dated 01/19/2005; ARB Roster APPROVAL FOR AGENDA: SUMMARY STATEMENT: At a joint work session in 1996, the City Council and Borough Assembly voiced a consensus that the composition of the Joint Building Code Review Committee would include one City Council Member and Borough Assembly member and two members each from the City Building Code Board of Appeals and Borough Architectural Review Board. Assembly member Friend is the current Assembly representative and Mayor Selby asks that you confirm his appointment of Mr. Scott Bonney and Mr. Gregg Hacker to this Committee. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to confirm the mayoral appointments of Mr. Scott Bonney for a term to expire December 2014 and Mr. Gregg Hacker for a term to expire December 2013 to the Joint Building Code Review Committee. Kodiak Island Borough Page 1 of 1 i v 6 Memorandum .. To: Mayor & Council Date: January 19, 2005 From: Debra Marlar Subject: Appointment to the Joint City Clerk Building Code Review Committee The following building codes adopted by the City are outdated: Uniform Plumbing Code, International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, and International Fire Code. The Building Official would like to identify the City Building Code Review Committee members so he can begin the review process and recommend adoption of the current codes. At the January 11th work session, the Council was asked to clarify how these appointments will be made and to identify the term length. The Council directed staff to inquire how the Borough makes its appointments to the committee. The Borough Clerk was consulted and was not able to determine how the Borough appoints its members to the committee. Mike Anderson is presently the Borough Assembly representative on the Borough Architectural Review Board /Building Code Board of Appeals, and it is assumed that he will also be the Assembly member on the Joint Building Code Review Committee. Except for the appointment of Ken Smith upon consensus of the Council at the May 22, 2001, work session, it appears City committee appointments have been made by the Building Official or Clerk at the Council's direction. (See included documentation) At a joint work session in 1996 the City Council and Borough Assembly voiced a consensus that the composition of the Joint Building Code Review Committee would include one City Council member and Borough Assembly member and two members each from the City Building Code Board of Appeals and the Borough Architectural Review Board Prior to that time, it appears that the committee was comprised of three members ac of the City Building Code Board of Appeals and Borough Architectural Review Board, one Planning and Zoning Commissioner, one City Council member, and one Borough Assembly member. If Mr. Smith's appointment to the committee expires at the end of his term on the Building Code Board of Appeals in 2005, a Councilmember and a member of the Building Code Board of Appeals need to be appointed before the Building Official can begin the review process. If Mr. Smith's term was intended for a shorter duration, two members of the Building Code Board of Appeals need to be appointed, in addition to a Council member. We believe that Councilmember Davidson is the current City Council representative. Staff requests direction regarding the City appointments to the committee. t KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH *' ARCHITECTURAL /ENGINEERING REVIEW BOARD - BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS NAME TERM HOME WORK CELL EMAIL PHONE PHONE PHONE Scott Bonney 2014 486 -4005 654 -7938 stralaska(a hotmail.com PO Box 5524 Chiniak, AK 99615 Michael Brechan 2014 654 -5514 487 -2152 654 -5518 mbrechan(a)hughes.net PO Box 303 Kodiak, AK 99615 Cliff Ford 2012 486 -5353 486 -7742 539 -5340 clifffr@acsalaska.net 1250 Beaver Way Kodiak, AK 99615 Gregg Hacker (Chair) 2013 486 -4392 481 -2283 539 -5230 ghacker01(@,kodiakschools.org PO Box 967 Kodiak, AK 99615 -0967 Ray Nordgulen 2012 486 -3719 539 -1639 nordqulenwings(a)hotmail.com 274 Neva Way Kodiak, AK 99615 Sonny Vinberg 2014 512 -2839 486 -2530 206 -790- sonnyvinberq a[?hotmail.com PO Box 78 4502 hvinberq a( koniaq.com Kodiak, AK 99615 Assembly Representative Jerrol Friend 486 -7654 486 -4946 539 -1975 jerrol .friend(Wassembly.kodiakak.us PO Box 175 Kodiak, AK 99615 NON - VOTING EX- OFFICIOS School Board Representative Norm Wooten 539 -1419 nwooten(@gci.net PO Box 3016 Kodiak, AK 99615 This board is governed by Kodiak Island Borough Code 2.125 and 15.45.010 7 77,7311= E/F DIRECTOR, WOODY KONING 486 -9343 wkoninq(a)kodiakak.us PROJECTS MGR. /INSPECTOR, KEN SMITH 486 -9341 ksmith@kodiakak.us PROJECTS ASSISTANT, JESSI WOLFE 486 -9349 jwolfe(a)kodiakak.us ENGINEERING & FACILITIES DEPARTMENT 710.
