Resolutions
1. Resolution No. FY2013 -08 Accepting the Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission Approving of Certain Borough Land To Be Sold at a Future Land Sale.
KAPLAN move to adopt Resolution No. FY2013 -08.
The Borough Resource Management Officer identified up to eleven parcels of land which could be
suitable for disposal at a future land sale. At this primary stage of review typically all that was
required was a determination by the Assembly that the lands identified in this review were surplus to
Borough and the public's needs.
There was no adopted plan as guidance indicating a need for the lands reviewed in this case to be
required for any particular public purpose. The lands could require additional investigation to
ultimately decide their fitness to be disposed of for a particular purpose. Once approved by the
Assembly, additional surveying and possible zoning reviews of the disposal of the eleven parcels
could be required before many of the lots would be considered fit for disposal.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request and found the request
was consistent with the goals and objectives of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan
Update. Staff recommended that the Assembly uphold the recommendation of the Commission and
adopt the motion. A corrected copy of Resolution No. FY2013 -08 was provided to the Assembly and
public.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Austerman, Kaplan, Lynch, and Stutes.

Ordinances for Introduction
1. Ordinance No. FY2013 -02 Approving a Rezone for Lot 25A, Block 7 Leite Addition from R1-
Single Family Residential to R3- Multifamily Residential (P &Z Case 13 -001, Wittenbrader).
AUSTERMAN moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2013 -02 in first reading to advance to public hearing
at the next regular meeting of the Assembly.
Lot 25A was larger, by area and width, than most of the other lots in Block 7, Leite Addition. All but
three lots in the block were previously zoned R3- Multifamily Residential and the block shared an
extensive platting history. Lot 25A was somewhat constrained by limitations on access so it would not
be able to take full advantage of the R3 zoning, but it would still benefit from additional development
options in the R3 zone which were not currently available in the R1 zoning district.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request and found the request
was consistent with the goals and objectives of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan
Update. KIBC 17.205.55(B) also required the Assembly to be notified by the Commission of its
actions and its findings. Staff recommended that the Assembly uphold the decision of the Planning
and Zoning Commission and adopt the motion.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Kaplan, Lynch, Stutes, and Austerman.
Other Items
1. Declaring a Seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission Vacant.
LYNCH moved to accept, with regret, the resignation of Ms. Casey Janz from the Planning and
Zoning Commission for a term to expire December 2012, and direct the Borough Clerk to advertise
the vacancy per Borough Code.
On August 23, 2012 the Borough Clerk's Office received a letter of resignation from Ms. Janz for her
Borough seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission for a term to expire December 2012. The seat
would be vacated and advertisement of the vacated seat would occur in accordance with KIBC
2.100.070 (2.A and D) Vacancies.
