C. Letter from VFW re Recreational Site at Monashka Bay. Mr. Berg explained that
instead of re- locating in town, the VFW wished to construdt a skeet and trap
range and lodge near the old ship on Monashka Bay. They would provide a full
time live -in caretaker. They would like to obtain a 25-year lease for about.
30 acres. The area does not appear to be a highly desirable residential area.
Mr. White explained that this area has not yet been surveyed by BLM, and so
the Borough would only be getting tentative approval on the land when it is
selected. Mr. White felt that the best arrangement would be for the VFW to
lease the land from the State with the concurrence of the Borough. The State
is making plans for a picnic area at the head of Monashka Bay which would fit
in well with the VFW site. After further discussion, Mr. Sutliff moved,
seconded by Mr. Barr, that the Assembly concur with the VFW proposed recreation
site at Monashka Bay. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
D. Letter from Claud Hoffman of State Division of Lands re Special Meeting on
June 7. The letter was read explaining that there is to be a lands meeting in
Port Lions on June 6 at 3:00 p.m. Mr. White suggested that Mr. Valkama attend
the meeting as a representative of the Borough. It was decided that the
meeting with the Assembly on June 7 would be more convenient at 11:30 a.m.
than at 10:00, if it is agreeable with the State. It would be a luncheon meeting.
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS -- None
VII PLANNING & ZONING ITE1
A. Recommendation from Zoning Commission re Construction of Utility Building -
Aleutian Homes, Inc. Subdivision, Block 12, Lots 50 -53 - DHUD (Case 176 -A).
Recommendation was read suggesting that the building be allowed under Section
X-B of the Zoning Ordinance as a building for public use. The minutes of the
Zoning Commission meeting were reviewed. Mr. Barr agreed with the recommenda-
tion. He also felt that the building could be allowed as an accessory building
to the project. Attorney Ruskin was of the opinion that the building would
not perform a public function, and had previously written an opinion that the
building would not be considered an accessory building as outlined in the
Ordinance. Mr. Sutliff felt that the warehouse is necessary, and that the
suggested site is a good one, but that the building should not be permitted
there unless a way can be found to allow it under the ordinance, or unless the
property can be rezoned. Mr. Lester felt that this property might be improved
by the construction .. of the building.- Mr. White reported that he had spoken to
Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Emmal, and that Mr. Stockton had spoken to Mr. Pitts in
California, and that they had all agreed that the building should not be
erected in violation of the local ordinances. Mr. White also felt that the
project logically should have such a building, but that no provision had been
made for it in the zoning of the project. Mr. Stansbury stated that there is
properly zoned property available in the City, but that DHUD wants to use their
own property, rather than leasing or buying any other lots. Mr. Barr suggested
that the building be permitted under Section 11 -A -8 of the Ordinance, which
allows Federal, State or local government enterprises in any zone unless it
specifically prohibits them, after proper notice and public hearing by the
Zoning Commission. After further discussion, Mr. Sutliff moved, seconded by
Mr. Arndt, that the Assembly go on record as having no objection to allowing
the building to be located on the suggested Site #2, if the Borough Attorney
can find a legal way to allow it, and if there is no objection from the people
living nearby. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
B. Recommendation from Zoning Commission re Use of Triplex as Temporary Dormitory
for Vocational School Students - East Addition Block 38 Lots 7 & 8 - Dewitt
Fields (Case 12 -B). Memo from P &Z was read recommending that this building be
permitted to be used as a dormitory under Section X -B of the ordinance as a
public use The P &Z minutes of this item were also read. Mr. Ruskin stated
that this could not qualify under Section X -B since the building is not
publicly owned. However, it was decided that the students could be housed
there under the definition of a boarding house, if no more than five sleeping
rooms are used, and there are not more than 15 boarders. Boarding houses are
permitted in R -3 zones, and th.tse lots were granted an exception as R -3 in 1965
It was instructed that Mr. Fields be so notified.
VIII OLD BUSINESS -- None
IX NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of Borough Control of Private Sewer Systems. Mr. White explained
that the Borough /City Engineer has suggested that the Borough pass an ordinance
which will set standards for the construction of private sewer systems in the
Borough in order to prevent inferior installations. Mr. Jones obtained a copy

in this case, the building could be permitted as a public facility. Mr. Waller
moved, seconded by Mr. Richmond, that it be recommended to the Assembly that
the constructinn of the utility building be approved on Site #2 described as
Lots 50 through 53 of Block 12, Aleutian Homes Inc, Subdivision, as a building
for public use under Section X-B of the Zoning Ordinance. Motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote.
B. Kay Horton re Nixon's Property in Bells Flats. Mr. Norton described his
proposal to purchase the Nixon interests , graze cattle, and attempt to
raise barley and/or oats. He would like to arrange a grazing lease with the
Borough, including free range if possible. He raised various questions as to
how much a lease would cost, would it be re-newable, etc., and requested that
the Borough take action on his proposal as soon as possible. There followed
a general discussion on the Bells Flats area selected by the Borough, and the
possible location of the subdivision, trailer and camper park, and slaughter
house. Rev. Bullock stated that his group is still interested in starting a
golf driving range. It was decided that before any plans can be made, it will
be necessary to obtain a map showing the roads and facilities which now exist,
as well as the proposed layout of the subdivision. The Borough will also
have to set up a procedure for grazing leases, if they are desired. Mr. Fields
described the set-up of the BLM leases which are now being taken over by the
State. He said that the cattlemen would be' glad to get together with Mr.
Horton to enlighten him on information needed for his proposed project.
C. Letter from Bjarne Olsen re Hospital Parking Requirements. There was a question
raisethas to whcther the present requirement of one public parking space for
each 4 beds, based on maximum capacity. It was pointed out that additional
spaces would be needed for the staff.
