BROOKERS LAGOON LT 6A - Conditional Use PermitOmar Stratman PO Box 2376 Kodiak, AK 99615 Kodiak Island borough 710 MILL BAY ROAD KODIAK, ALASKA 99615 -6398 November 20, 1997 RE: Case 97 -023. Request for a conditional use permit, in accordance with Section 17.13.040.D of the Borough Code, to permit a camp /retreat similar to a lodge, with provisions for more than 6 clients, on a C- Conservation zoned lot. Lot 6A, Brookers Lagoon. Dear Mr. Stratman: The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on November 19, 1997, granted the conditional use permit request cited above, subject to the following conditions: 1. This conditional use permit is contingent on rezone of Lot 6A, Brookers Lagoon Subdivision to C- Conservation (Case 97 -022). 2. This conditional use permit is issued for a maximum of twenty -four (24) occupants (visitors plus staff) at any one time. Only after further review and approval by the Commission at public hearing can occupancy be increased. 3. Engineered plans approved by ADEC for the proposed water and septic systems, including the shower/bathroom facility, must meet State wastewater and drinking water code requirements for commercial enterprise. The approved plans must be provided to the Community Development Department prior to issuance of zoning compliance permits for any of the yurts. 4. A solid waste management plan must be approved by the Borough Environmental Engineer. 5. Replat or subdivision of Lot 6A will invalidate this CUP unless prior approval is granted by the Commission at public hearing. THIS APPROVAL DOES NOT ALLOW ANY CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN. Zoning compliance and/or a building permit must first be obtained. An approved conditional use permit must be permitted within a two -year period to be valid. Please contact this office for further details. Kodiak Is and Borough Omar Stratman November 20, 1997 Page Two An appeal of this decision may be initiated by any party, by filing a written notice of appeal with the Borough Clerk within twenty (20) days of the date of the Commission's decision. The notice of appeal must state the specific grounds for the appeal and the relief sought by the appellant, and be accompanied by the appropriate appeal fee. Therefore, the Commission's decision will not be final and effective until twenty (20) days following the decision. This letter shall constitute the conditional use permit. Please bring it when you come to our office to obtain zoning compliance for any construction on the property. The Commission adopted the following findings in support of their decision: 17.67.05 A. That the conditional use will preserve the value. spirit. character and integrity of the surrounding area. Strict application of the controls and safeguards required by the conditions of approval will ensure preservation of the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area. The nature of the principal activity being proposed as a camp or retreat for spiritual and/or educational pursuits might be seen as ensuring minimal impact since a natural, undisturbed setting would be the principal attraction for potential clients/visitors. Limiting this twelve-acre tract to only a single permanent residence would have the effect of maintaining the large-lot rural character of the area. In addition, it would reduce potential demand for wastewater disposal and water supply systems in an area that has been identified as having potential problems due to water table and wet, marshy areas. This is consistent with objectives and goals specified in the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan. Conditions of approval requiring ADEC approval for proposed water and septic systems as well as a solid waste management plan, and the relatively light density for size of the lot along with the inherent seasonal nature of the camp/retreat, will help to preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area. 17.67.05 B. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. Based on the site plan and other supporting documentation, it appears that the conditional use permit will fulfill all other requirements of Chapters 17.67 (Conditional Use Permits) and 17.13 (C-Conservation Zoning District) of Borough Code as outlined above. Kodiak Island Borough Omar Stratman November 20, 1997 Page Three The development will most likely result in maximum retention of natural vegetation and shrubbery to provide buffering and screening to better isolate the camp /retreat in a peaceful and natural setting. 17.67.05 C. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the public health. safety. convenience and comfort. Public health and safety will be protected by compliance with ADEC sewer and water installation requirements and other applicable zoning and building permit requirements related to camp /retreat use of the property. Occupancy control imposed by the condition of approval will further ensure health and safety, as well as provide a measure of guarantee that the convenience and comfort of neighbors will not be compromised. 17.67.05 D. That sufficient setbacks. lot area. buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section. The conditions of approval combined with the inherent benign, non - intrusive nature of the proposed activity should minimize potential negative off -site impacts on other permitted uses in the area. Potential density on the property, taking into consideration the seasonal, intermittent nature of occupancy of the camp /retreat, will most likely be less that adjacent RR1 zoning district build -out. Response from adjoining property owners indicates their preference for a camp /retreat on this twelve acres rather than the residential six -lot subdivision with two -acre density that would potentially result otherwise. Installation of roads, driveways and building pads for six houses would result in a significantly greater loss of vegetation and in potentially greater negative drainage impact from erosion and run -off than would be the case with a single residence as proposed with this project.

Findings as to the Need and Justificatio jor a Change or Amendment. A rezone from RR1-Rural Resid ntial One to C-Co servation is needed and justified because the C-Conservation zoning district p rmits development that: A. is consistent with the Chiniak Gotnpreh -nsive Plan, since single-family residential is a permitted use in th C- onservation zoning district, while at the same time maintaining the rur nature of the area by guaranteeing large lots (in this case, five acre um) that have the capability of onsite waste water disposal an ate supply systems as specifically recommended by the Chiniak Co prehensive Plan. • B. the tract proposed for rezo e to C-Conservakon is adjacent to existing Conservation zoning, and o rezone would not cr&ite any nonconformities. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Mect a Change or Amer dinent would have on the Objectives qfthe Comp ehensive Plan. -A change of zoning om RR1-Rural Residential One to the, c-Conservation zoning district, sinc the lot area minimum would essentially ncrease from approximately one acre to five acres, would have the effect of m ntaining the large-lot rural character of the area as recommended by t e Chiniak Comprehensiv- Plan. The Chiniak Comprehensive Plan designates th area as residential, nd single-family residential is a principal permitted use the C- Conserva on zoning district. A rezone would also be consistent with the hiniak Compr- ensive Plan since specific intentions of the C-Conservation z ning distri are to encourage the use of land for single-family residential (S C 17. .010.A) and to encourage the continued use of land for open space are ( BC 17.13.010.B).

Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code and the Kodiak Island Borough Coastal Management Program are applicable to this request: 17.13.040 Conditional uses (C-Conservation Zoning District). The following land uses and activities may be allowed by .obtaining a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of chapter 17.67: D. Lodges that have provisions for more than six (6) clients. 17.13.090 Special district regulations. A. Conditional uses in this zoning district are required to conform to the general district regulations unless the terms of the conditional use permit specify otherwise. B. Approved conditional uses in this district shall conform to the following specific performance standards: 1. conditional uses must minimize the impact on the natural environment and preserve, to the extent feasible and prudent, natural features. Specifically, to the extent feasible and Prudent: a. conditional uses in upland habitats must retain natural vegetation coverage, natural drainage patterns, prevent excessive runoff and erosion, and maintain surface water quality and natural groundwater recharge areas: and b. conditional uses in estuaries, tideflats, and wetlands must maintain or assure water flow, natural circulation patterns, and adequate nutrient and oxygen levels. 2. although a particular conditional use may constitute a minor change, the cumulative effect of numerous piecemeal changes can result in a major impairment of the environment. The particular site for which a Case 97-023 Page 2 of 9 P & Z: November 19, 1997 Public Hearing Item VI -H conditional use application is made will be evaluated with the recognition that it may be part of a complete and interrelated environmental area. A conditional use shall be denied under this provision only if the weight of credible scientific evidence shows that the proposed conditional use together with all other then existing conditional uses in the area will have a substantial adverse impact on the interrelated environmental area if such conditional uses are operating in accordance with all required state and federal rules and regulations. Consideration shall be given to the mitigating effect of not locating the conditional use in any other area and mitigation efforts,' if any, which the proposed conditional user 'may- offer for this or any other environmental areas. 17.67.010 Intent. It is recognized that there are land uses which are generally considered appropriate in certain - zoning districts, provided that' controls`and' safeguards- are applied to ensure their compatibility with permitted principal uses. The conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow consideration of the impact of the proposed conditional use on surrounding property, and the application of controls and safeguards to assure that the conditional use will be compatible with the surrounding area. 17.67.050 Standards. In granting a conditional use permit, the commission must make the following findings: A. That the conditional use will preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area; B. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question; C. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the public health, safety, convenience and comfort; D. That the sufficient setbacks, lot area, buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section; E. If the permit is for a public use or structure, the commission must find that the proposed use or structure is located in a manner which will maximize public benefits. 17.67.060 Stipulations. In recommending the granting of 'a condition use, the commission shall stipulate, in writing, requirements which it fmds necessary to carry out the intent of this chapter. These stipulations may increase the required lot or yard size, control the location and number of vehicular access points to the property, require screening and landscaping where necessary to reduce noise and glare, and maintain the property in a character in keeping with surrounding area; or may impose other conditions and safeguards designed to ensure the compatibility of the conditional use with other uses in the district. Case 97-023 Page3of9 P & Z: November 19, 1997 Public Hearing Item VI-H COASTAL MANAGEMENT APPLICABLE POLICIES Commercial/Industrial Development 1. Natural Features Dredge and fill, excavation, shoreline alteration and disturbance of anadromous streams, tideflats • and wetlands shall be minimized when constructing and operating port, harbor, dock; business and energy facilities - if permitted under applicable regulations. Consistent: Not applicable. This action does not propose to construct a port, harbor, dock, or energy facility. 2. Natural Setting.

Buffer Zones Buffer zones shall be established to the extent feasible and prudent, between business areas and major public transportation routes and between business development and adjacent, non-business properties in order to minimize conflicts between land uses. Consistent: Yes. The Commission can require appropriate screening to adequately separate nonresidential from residential uses. 6. Accessory Development Accessory development that does not require a shoreline location in order to carry out its support functions shall be sited away from the shoreline whenever there is a feasible and prudent inland alternative. This category includes parking, warehousing, open air storage, waste storage, treatment or storm runoff control facilities or utilities. Consistent: Not applicable. This property is not located on the shoreline. 7. Wetlands Filling and drainage of water bodies, floodways, backshores or natural wetlands shall be consistent with ACMP Standards 6 AAC 80.070 (Energy Facilities) and 6 AAC 80.130 (Habitats). Consistent: Yes. For purposes of construction of the subdivision road previously proposed for final plat approval, the property obtained a Department of Army (DA) jurisdictional determination dated July 11, 1996. A less intensive development is proposed in conjunction with this rezone request and a road constructed to the same standards would not be required. Case 97-023 Page 5of9. P & Z: November 19, 1997 Public Hearing Item VI-H COMMENTS This conditional use permit is before the Planning and Zoning Commission for conceptual plan approval of a proposed camp/retreat, similar to a lodge with provisions for more than six (6) clients. The camp/retreat is proposed to be located on Lot 6A, Brookers Lagoon, in Chiniak, presently zoned RR1-Rural Residential One. The applicant is requesting a rezone of Lot 6A to C-Conservation in a parallel case (97-022) on this month's agenda. Lot 6A is approximately twelve (12) acres and has been granted preliminary plat approval (S94- 020) for subdivision: into: six (6) lots,-each approximately 80,000 square feet in area.- One condition of final plat approval is installation of a private subdivision road constructed to Borough code standards. Road construction has been initiated, but not completed. According to the applicant's initial project narrative description, the CUP is being requested to construct a personal residence and small retreat center for approximately twenty (20) people consisting of five (5) additional structures. The intent of the center is to provide a quiet place for individuals and/or small groups for educational, spiritual and/or counseling pursuits. Yurts are proposed as the structures additional to the main residence. The site plan indicates a total of five (5) yurts, which are circular, dome-shaped structures either sixteen (16), twenty (20), or thirty (30) feet in diameter. Yurts are subject to Uniform Building and Fire Code • specifications for wind and snow load as determined by the Building Official. An addendum to the project narrative indicates that, depending on the success of the enterprise, there may ultimately be two thirty (30) foot yurts in addition to four smaller ones. The addendum also raises the possibility of ultimately expanding the residence to include a great room and sleeping accommodations, necessitating fewer yurts. Unless specifically requested as part of this CUP approval, future construction of a second thirty (30) foot yurt and expansion of the residence to house clients/guests would require additional review and approval by the Commission at public hearing at a later date. The applicants have indicated that a phasing concept would be employed to develop the project over time. The larger yurt constructed initially will serve their residence during construction of a more conventional home. Upon completion of the home, that yurt would then become a meeting or congregation center. A later project phase would involve construction of four smaller yurts for overnight accommodations housing 4-5 persons each. A separate shower/bathroom facility is proposed, but not shown on the site plan. A condition of approval should require that this facility comply with applicable Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) and Uniform Building Code (UBC) sanitation requirements for a commercial use. Case 97-023 • Page 6 of 9 P & Z: November 19,1997 Public Hearing Item VI -H The similarity between the camp /retreat and a lodge operation for more than six (6) clients is the basis on which a conditional use permit is being sought. The Commission recently made a similar determination for temporary camp supporting archeological exploration at Settlement Point on Afognak Island. In that case, the camp was made of eleven (11) portable weatherport structures consisting of steel framework and heavy canvas (Case 97 -009). Care was taken in that case to ensure that wastewater disposal and drinking water supply systems were designed and approved in accordance with ADEC standards. Similarly, a condition of approval for this case should be documentation by a certified engineer that the water, solid waste and wastewater systems proposed on Lot 6A meet - ADEC specifications, or written approval from ADEC' to that effect In addition, a condition of approval should limit the scope of the development to what is being requested by the applicant, specifically, five (5) yurts (original narrative), or six (6) yurts (addendum), in addition to a main residence. Occupancy would not exceed two dozen people at any one time. This development would, as proposed, most likely result in less overall density and less sustained impact on the property itself and on neighbors than would a six -lot subdivision, potentially having six houses with individual well and septic systems. This will depend on conditions of approval that will control density and scope of operation, as has been proposed by the applicants themselves. The nature and intent of the proposed operation would seem to have inherent self - regulating features since negative off -site, and even on -site, impacts would ostensibly defeat the project's purpose and ultimately frustrate its marketability. RECOMMENDATION Staff believes that this request meets all the conditions necessary, as reflected in the findings of fact, for a conditional use permit to be granted under Chapter 17.67 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Borough Code. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to grant a request for a conditional use permit in accordance with Section of the Borough Code to permit on Lot 6A, Brookers Lagoon Subdivision a camp /retreat consisting of a residence and not more that six yurts, not exceeding total occupancy of twenty -four (24) persons at any one time, as similar to a lodge with provisions for more that six clients; subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report dated October 20, 1997; and to adopt the findings contained in that staff report as "Findings of Fact" for this case. Case 97 -023 Page 7 of 9 P & Z: November 19, 1997 Public Hearing Item VI -H CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. This conditional use permit is contingent on rezone of Lot 6A, Brookers Lagoon Subdivision to C- Conservation (Case 97 -022). 2. This conditional use permit is issued for a maximum of twenty -four (24) occupants (visitors plus staff) at any one time. Only after further review and approval by the Commission at public hearing can occupancy be increased. 3. , . Engineered plans approved by ADEC for the proposed water and septic systems, including the shower/bathroom facility, must meet State wastewater and drinking water code requirements for commercial enterprise. The approved plans must be provided to the Community Development Department prior to issuance of zoning compliance permits ' for any of the yurts. 4. A solid waste management plan must be approved by the Borough Environmental Engineer. 5. Replat or subdivision of Lot 6A will invalidate this CUP unless prior approval is granted by the Commission at public hearing. FINDINGS OF FACT 17.67.05 A. That the conditional use will preserve the value. spirit. character and integrity of the surrounding area. Strict application of the controls and safeguards required by the conditions of approval will ensure preservation of the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area. The nature of the principal activity being proposed as a camp or retreat for spiritual and/or educational pursuits might be seen as ensuring minimal impact since 'a natural, undisturbed setting would be the principal attraction for potential clients /visitors. Limiting this twelve -acre tract to only a single permanent residence would have the effect of maintaining the large -lot rural character of the area. In addition, it would reduce potential demand for wastewater disposal and water supply systems in an area that has been identified as having potential problems due to water table and wet, marshy areas. This is consistent with objectives and goals specified in the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan. Conditions of approval requiring ADEC approval for proposed water and septic systems as well as a solid waste management plan, and the relatively light density for size of the lot along with the inherent seasonal nature of the camp /retreat, will help to preserve the value, spirit, character and integrity of the surrounding area. Case 97 -023 Page 8 o1'9 P & Z: November 19, 1997 Public Hearing Item VI -H 17.67.05 B. That the conditional use fulfills all other requirements of this chapter pertaining to the conditional use in question. Based on the site plan and other supporting documentation, it appears that the conditional use permit will fulfill all other requirements of Chapters 17.67 (Conditional Use Permits) and 17.13 (C- Conservation Zoning District) of Borough Code as outlined above. The development will most likely result in maximum retention of natural vegetation and shrubbery to provide buffering and screening to better isolate the camp /retreat in a peaceful and natural setting. 17.67.05 C. That granting the conditional use permit will not be harmful to the public health., safety, convenience and comfort. • Public health and safety will be protected by compliance with ADEC sewer and water installation requirements and other applicable zoning and building permit requirements related to camp /retreat use of the property. Occupancy control imposed by the condition of approval will further ensure health and safety, as well as provide a measure of guarantee that the convenience and comfort of neighbors will not be compromised. 17.67.05 D. That sufficient setbacks. lot area. buffers or other safeguards are being provided to meet the conditions listed in subsections A through C of this section, The conditions of approval combined with the inherent benign, non - intrusive nature of the proposed activity should minimize potential negative off -site impacts on other permitted uses in the area. Potential density on the property, taking into consideration the seasonal, intermittent nature of occupancy of the camp /retreat, will most likely be less that adjacent RR1 zoning district build -out. Response from adjoining property owners indicates their preference ' for a camp /retreat on this twelve acres rather than the residential six -lot subdivision with two -acre density that would potentially result otherwise. Installation of roads, driveways and building pads for six houses would result in a significantly greater loss of vegetation and in potentially greater negative drainage impact from erosion and run -off than would be the case with a single residence as proposed with this project.

The Lodge/Retreat would have been easily accessible to the city of Portland and would have served a larger population. As our plans and dreams have changed, we are now designing our Lodge/ Retreat center to serve smaller groups on Kodiak Island. As time goes by, we will be reviewing our financial ability to build this center. It will evolve in stages and,may. Include one of the following: (1) A 30'Yurt .(as mentioned in' the proposal) allowing us.a restd.ence while we're build-' inq our home, andttd be used later asa meeting/Oinimg room. (2) If we proceed using the yurts as the pri- mary housing structures, we would-then plan to'erect four other Yurts ranging from 16' to 24' (3) Assuming, this cen et prospers, an additional 30' Yurt would be constructed, making a total of six Yurts. Depending on how this plan proceeds, we maychoose/tO expand': our home to include a jiarge,gteat,room and sleeping accomo,-' 'dations for no more than 2D people. Usingthis_option, we would erect fewer Yurts.. PROPOSED HOME/RETREAT CENTER FOR CHINIAK AREA BY JOHN AND ANNIE WILLIAMS PROPOSAL We recently visited Kodiak and were impressed by the natural beauty of the Island. We propose to purchase 11.7 acres in the Chiniak area which is presently owned by Omar Stratman. We are requesting a zone change and a conditional use permit to build a residence and a small retreat center (approx. 20 people) which will be accessible to the Chiniak/Kodiak community. This is to be built with the least impact to the land and our neighbors. The intent of the center is to provide a quiet place for individual and/or small groups such as: a community meeting hall church groups conference /seminar groups educational facility college extension classes school classes adult education classes counseling/therapy facility recovery groups base for educational research and field study. sNenatt l: boraY� We plan to employ local people to assist as needed with the building and the operation of this Center. Possible other economic benefit to the Kodiak economy might include car rentals, air transportation, fishing guides, boat charters and Kodiak merchants. Completion of this project would be developed over a period of time, and would consist of several Yurts. We propose building a 30' Yurt as our temporary residence while building our permanent home. Upon completion of our home, the Yurt would serve as meeting/dining room for the Center. (Users will be responsible for bringing their own food and preparing it, or using a catering service in the community. A later stage would involve the use of four smaller 16' Yurts for overnight accommodations each housing 4 -5 people. A separate building would be erected to provide showers and bathroom facilities, Although our residence is still in the planning stage, we will construct our home in keeping with the esthetic values already set by our neighbors. Both Annie and I are gardening enthusiasts and have a substantial collection of dahlias. Research indicates that they could do well in this area. We look forward to being good neighbors. PETITIONERS JOHN K. WILLIAMS is a retired parole /probation officer for Multnomah County Department of Corrections. John holds a Bachelor degree in Law Enforcement. John has also worked for Oregon Department of Corrections. He gave 100% plus to this career, and served with honesty, integrity, and dedication. He also worked as an armed officer in affiliation with the Association of Portland Progress. His job was to improve the safety of downtown Portland. Working these two jobs simultaneously, John was able to purchase eight acres of land in Tillamook County, Oregon He attended Neahkanie High School and spent years growing up in the coastal Nehalem area/ John purchased the property in this area with the objective of building a retreat. A logger illeg- ally trespassed onto the land and removed over sixty trees. Due to the destruction, this property was no longer suitable for the Retreat Center. When John saw the property on Kodiak Island, he once again was able to see the possibility of an excellent site for the Center. John Williams would dedicate his life to be an excellent, trustworthy, hard - working custodian of this land. R.

The Pacific Yurt. Thanks to ecotourism, the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry today, the yurt is treading lightly and find- ing its way to exotic destinations as diverse as Africa, Australia, Chile, Saudi Arabia and Europe. In fact, the Pacific Yurt has become a solution for ecologically responsi- ble tourism and adventure travel around the world. As more people look for ways to travel with minimal impact on the places they visit, more individuals and devel- opers are discovering the modern transformation of the ancient yurt. Founded by Alan Bair in 1978, Pacific Yurts is the origi- nal designer and manufacturer of modern lattice wall yurts, marketing them for high - quality recreational living struc- tures. They're being used as private vacation getaways, in parks, on Air Force bases, golf courses, ski areas and other low impact commercial developments in the U.S. and over- seas. In Oregon alone, you'll find yurts serving as Oregon State Park accommodations for bicyclists touring the coast, warming huts on Mount Hood, and opulent banquet rooms after sleigh rides near Mt. Bachelor. Pacific Yurts is renowned for high quality construction and meticulous attention to detail. Each component offers structur- al strength, all weather comfort, and portability. The Durolast® roof is more durable than canvas and comes with a 15 year materials warranty. The NASA- developed reflective insulation provides the ultimate protection from even the most relentless heat or cold. Simply put, the Pacific Yurt is the perfect melding of ancient practicality and modern technology. "We've just completed an additional 12,000 square foot modern production facility and office to keep up with the growing demand for our products," says Bair. "But nothing is as rewarding as the response we've had from our customers." pacific ants is Inc.

Year -round Universal Recreational Tent Need a way t 'at convergent, comf 'rth Ie and ecc arnica!? A new, alternative form of camping is now available at twelve Oregon Parks and Recreation Department state parks. Meet the YU T -- a circular domed tent with a plywood floor, structural wall support, electricity and a clear, plexiglass skylight. A yurt is designed to withstand high winds and efficiently retain heat in the winter. It has a framed -in, lockable wooden door; window screens and flaps; waterproof canvas; reflective insulation; and even a smoke detector and fire extinguisher. Convenient! Extend your camping season without having to own a recreational vehicle or trailer, or risk discomfort on a rainy day. A yurt combines the security of a structure with the informality of camping. Best of all, you don't have to put it up -- it's there in a state park, near ocean beaches, coastal forests, hiking and bicycle trails, and some of the world's most beautiful coastal scenery; waiting for your arrival. Comfortable! A state park yurt measures 16 feet in diameter and has 10- foot-high ceilings. It is furnished with a bunk bed that sleeps three and a fold-out couch that can sleep two more. Both bed and couch have covered foam mattresses. Other furnishings include a small table, an electric space heater and indoor lighting. Just bring your own sleeping bag or bedding, and your other camping equipment, such as: • flashlight • ax or hatchet • matches • cooking and eating utensils • water container • towel. Outside, each yurt site has afire ring and picnictable. Each park with yurts has hot showers and modern restrooms. For your planning and other guests' consideration, remem- berthat pets, cooking and smoking are not permitted inside yurts. As in hostels, a broom and dustpan are provided and guests are asked to sweep out their yurt before leaVng. Economical! Yurts cost $25 per night for five people, with up to three additional people allowed at $5 each per night. Yurts are reservable year-round, up to 11 months in advance, by phone. See back panel for reservation information. Discover( egon Year-round... With a Yurt! Discover the adventure of fall, winter or spring camping, with a yurt! The Oregon coast offers outstanding opoportunities for: • bird and wildlife viewing • nature photography • whale watching • fishing and crabbing • storm watching • agate hunting, and • charter boat trips, and for enjoying: • sand dunes • lighthouses • historic sites • museums • art galleries and • shops. Look What's Happening! Oregon state parks are more than tents and RVs. More...means more yurts. Coastal parks will be featuring more units; Sunset Bay on the south coast and inland parks like Champoeg, Wallowa Lake, and Valley of the Rogue will be installing their first yurts this year. More...means more options. Rent a cabin at The Cove Palisades north of Bend or at Emigrant Springs east of P eton. Or spend the night in a covered camper wagon ai oFk .t rewell Bend or Emigrant Springs, both in northeast Oregon. Still looking for more? Farewell Bend also features teepees.

Keep up the good work on an excellent product" Donald Hayes, Wyoming "We just spent a delightful two weeks in our new Yurt in Big Sur. The sophistication of interior space (enhanced by a lovely light fir floor) is more than we had anticipated. We are extremely pleased with the beauty of the structure and the materials." Jim and Kathy Walters, Massachusetts "We love our 30' Yurt for year round family vacations. We have installed a kitchen and bathroom and find the spacious interior very comfortable. This year we had what must have been a 100 year storm with winds gusting in at over 90 miles an hour from across the Pacific Ocean. The Yurt handled it with ease." Bill Spear, Washington "We are now into our second year of living full time in our 30' Pacific Yurt. Minnesota has given it a real test with blizzards, hail storms and strong winds. The Yurt hasn't leaked, shifted or in any way disappointed us. Thank you for the finely constructed and crafted product."

Code sections 17.67.030 and 050 provide some guidance as to what is required in the narrative description of project proposal and site plan as well as standards that must be met to grant a CUP. As explained, the agenda deadline for the Planning and Zoning Commission's November meeting is this Friday, October 17t. The two cases require two separate application fees totaling $400. They can be initiated at the same time, however the procedure for completion of rezone is a longer one by a few weeks since, if approved, it requires Assembly adoption by ordinance as well as Commission review. Grant of a CUP requires only Commission approval, unless appealed, and would be contingent on a rezone. I have also included some materials from the preliminary subdivision file of Lot 6A (Case S94 -020). If you have further questions, please call me at 486 -9362.
