SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Case No. 17-027. A Variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 19 feet into the required front yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050, this request has been amended to reflect the actual variance required to accommodate an encroachment shown on a newly provided as-built survey). DATE: August 1, 2018 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Community Development Department SUBJECT: Staff Report and Recommendation CASE: 17-027 APPLICANT: Roy Fairman LOCATION: 415 Bayview Drive, Port Lions LEGAL DSC: Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision ZONING: R1-Single-Family Residential District NOTICE: Thirty-nine (39) notices were mailed out on July 5, 2018. As of the date this report had been prepared, two comment forms were received in favor of the request. Although comments in opposition have been received at past public hearings for this case, none were received during this public notice cycle. STAFF ANALYSIS This case was originally heard at the June 21, 2017 P&Z regular meeting, during which it was postponed until the January 2018 P&Z regular meeting. At the January 24, 2018 P&Z Regular Meeting it was postponed until the June 2018 P&Z regular meeting. During this period the Commission had recommended that the applicant provide an as-built survey for review. Immediately prior to the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting, the applicant provided an as-built survey which showed new information related to existing encroachments. Specifically, the survey showed no side yard setback encroachment and a front yard encroachment that exceeded what was initially requested. The motion was amended to reflect actual conditions by eliminating the side yard encroachment and increasing the variance for the front yard encroachment to 19 feet. The increased variance required that the request be re-advertised. Consequently, the request was postponed to the August 15, 2018 Regular Meeting to facilitate proper notice. Further review since then has shown that, although the motion language has always referred to a staff report dated May 18, 2017, the initial staff report referred to by the motion and published for the record was actually dated June 14, 2017. A new, amended motion provided below seeks to incorporate the changes stemming from the applicant’s provision of an as-built survey and rectifying the date of the staff report and proper condition of approval and appropriate findings of fact. CONCLUSION Staff has determined that this request meets all of the conditions necessary, as reflected in the findings of fact, for a variance to be granted under KIBC 17.195.050 (Variance). Due to a new staff report date with minor changes, staff recommends the amended motion on the floor be CASE: amended again slightly to correspond with the most current staff report. 17-027 (Postponed at the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting) Page 4 of 267 AP... Case No. 17-027 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A AGENDA ITEM #5.a. P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that this site plan be approved, subject to one (1) condition of approval. CURRENT MOTION The current motion on the floor is: Move to approve a variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 19 feet into the required front yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050) subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated May 18, 2017 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No.17-027. MOTION TO AMEND Should the Commission agree with staff recommendations, the appropriate motion to amend is: Move to amend by striking “dated May 18, 2017” and inserting “dated August 1, 2018”. Staff recommends that this motion to amend be approved. Should it be approved, the following amended motion will be on the floor: Move to approve a variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 19 feet into the required front yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050) subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated August 1, 2018 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No.17-027. Staff recommends that this main motion, as amended, be approved. CONDITION OF APPROVAL 1. The property owner shall apply for after-the-fact zoning compliance for his single family residence and any accessory buildings. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. There are physical circumstances or conditions that are unique to this parcel. 2. Strict application of the zoning ordinance would result in practical difficulties including moving or demolishing part of a single-family residence. 3. Granting a variance would not adversely affect surrounding properties. 4. The variance is consistent with land use and housing goals and implementation actions identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The applicant is not seeking relief from a self-imposed condition. 6. Granting the requested variance would not result in a prohibited land use in the R1-Single- family Residential District.

SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT

DATE: June 22, 2018 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Community Development Department SUBJECT: Information for the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting

CASE: 17 – 027

APPLICANT: Roy Fairman

REQUEST: A variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 14 feet into the required front yard setback and 2 feet into the required side yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision.

LOCATION: 415 Bayview Drive, Port Lions

ZONING: R1-Single-family Residential District

PUBLIC NOTICE:  Thirty Seven (37) public notices were mailed out on May 1, 2018. As of the date this report was prepared, two comment forms had been returned--one stating no objection to the request, one opposing the request.  Thirty Seven (37) public notices were mailed out on December 8, 2017. As of the date this report was prepared, one comment was received in favor of this variance.  Thirty Seven (37) public notices were mailed on May 4, 2017. One public comment was received in opposition to the request, and one was received stating no concern with the request. COMMENTS

This case was originally heard at the June 21, 2017 P&Z regular meeting, during which it was postponed until the January 2018 P&Z regular meeting. At the January 24, 2018 P&Z regular meeting it was postponed until the June 2018 P&Z regular meeting. The applicant provided an as-built survey for review at the June 20, 2018 work session. The provided as-built survey showed that there is no side yard setback encroachment and that an increased encroachment of 19 feet (vice 14 feet) into the front yard setback exists. Accordingly, the main motion on the floor must be amended to reflect the actual variance that is required. Consequently, since a greater variance is required, the amended request must be re-noticed. To accommodate that notice, the request must be postponed until the August 15, 2018 regular meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that this request be amended to address the actual encroachment shown on the provided as-built survey and that it be postponed to the August 15, 2018 regular meeting to accommodate the provision of proper notice of the revised request. CURRENT MOTION

The current motion on the floor is: Move to approve a variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 14 feet into the required front yard setback and 2 feet into the required side yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050) subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated May 18, 2017 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No.17-027. MOTION TO AMEND

Should the Commission agree with staff recommendations, the appropriate motion to amend is: Move to amend by striking “14” and inserting “19” after “encroach” and by striking “2 feet into the required side yard setback”. Staff recommends that this be approved. Should it be approved, the following amended motion will be on the floor: Move to approve a variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 19 feet into the required front yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050) subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated May 18, 2017 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No.17-027. MOTION TO POSTPONE

Should the above motion be approved, the appropriate motion to postpone is: Move to postpone case 17-027 to the August 15, 2018 P& Z Regular meeting. Staff recommends that this motion be approved.

passenger vehicles. A copy of the rental agreement shall be provided to the Community Development Department prior to issuance of zoning compliance. Findings of Facts :1. Lot size constraints require that this multi-family housing development use tandem parking spaces and spaces within garages to provide the required number of off-street parking spaces and to meet the maneuvering area requirements of KIBC 17.175.080.G and fire apparatus access and turnaround requirements of the adopted fire code. 2. The intended purpose of tandem off-street parking spaces and spaces within garages for multi-family dwellings is identical to the intended purpose of such spaces for one- and two-family dwellings. 3. The KIBC 17.175.080.G requirement for multi-family dwellings to provide onsite parking maneuvering areas eliminates the potential for local traffic disruptions that can be associated with the use of tandem spaces for one- and two-family dwellings. Accordingly, tandem parking spaces are better suited for multi-family dwelling use than for one- and two-family dwelling use. 4. The condition of approval, combined with a lack of available on-street parking near the site, will greatly reduce the potential for the off-street parking spaces within the garages to be used for any purpose other than the parking. 5. Off-street parking spaces within the garages of one and two-family dwellings are commonly used for purposes other than parking. The condition of approval greatly reduces this potential by requiring such spaces to be used exclusively for parking. Accordingly, such spaces are better suited to meet the off-street parking requirements for these multi-family dwellings than for one and two-family dwellings. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Lot size constraints require that this multi-family housing development use tandem parking spaces and spaces within garages to provide the required number of off-street parking spaces and to meet the maneuvering area requirements of KIBC 17.175.080.G and fire apparatus access and turnaround requirements of the adopted fire code. 2.

subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated May 18, 2017 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No. 17-027. Daniel Mckenna-Foster stated this home has stood in the same place for several decades with no significant adverse impacts to the surrounding community. Cursory inspection of maps suggests that many other properties in Port Lions have setback violations as well. It seems appropriate that this violation be addressed by normalization through the granting of a variance and obtaining after the fact zoning compliance. One neighbor expressed concern that granting a variance will be inconsistent application to the borough code and the space between the properties is not sufficient as the structures currently stand. Staff determined this request meets all the conditions necessary for a variance to be granted. Following the June work session the commission discussed the possibility of requiring an asbuilt survey from the property owner and they requested that borough staff ascertain who poured the original foundation for this property and when. The initial staff report stated erroneously that the City of Port Lions poured the foundation for this home site. The applicant stated on his application that it was the city that cleared the area for the foundation and they did not actually pour it. A representative from the City of Port Lions explained, from his knowledge, that the City of Port Lions did not pour the foundation. They did haul in rock and level the property for the former owner. The person who sold the property to Mr. Fairman may have poured the foundation but he cannot say for sure. The requirement for an asbuilt survey could cost the property owner between $1500 - $4000. If the commission plans to grant the variance, it may save the property owner this expense by re- advertising the case to allow for a larger setback. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions of approval. Discussion regarding the encroachment, postponement, and not being a motion to postpone in the staff report.

Request a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the Future Land Use Designation of Lot 26A, U.S. Survey 3098 from Urban Residential to Commercial (KIBC 17.205). The intent of this request is to facilitate a subsequent request to rezone the lot from R1-Single-Family Residential District to B-Business District (Case No.17- 029). The applicant is James Cole. The location is 110 Bancroft Drive, and the zoning is R1-Single-family Residential. COMMISSIONER YOUNG MOVED to recommend that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the 2008 Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the Future Land Use Designation of Lot 26A, U.S. Survey 3098 from Urban Residential to Commercial (KIBC 17.205) and to adopt the findings of fact in the staff report dated May 16, 2017 as Findings of Fact for Case 17- 028. Daniel Mckenna-Foster stated this lot is zoned residential but structures on the lot have been in various states of demolition since 2012. The lot is encircled by areas with proposed future land use designation of Urban Residential/Commercial/Business and across Mill Bay Road from an area with a future land use designation of Industrial/Light Industrial. Mill Bay Road has long been one of the primary Commercial corridors. The 1968 Comp Plan recognized this arterial is a central route for businesses and vehicle traffic and the 2008 Comp Plan focuses most of the future Commercial/Business land use along this road as well. Many lots in this area have been rezoned to Business since they were originally zoned from Unclassified to Residential in the 1970’s. A 2006 staff report for the rezone of the adjacent lot from R1 to Business, Case 06-010 noted at the time only ten privately owned frontage lots between Birch Avenue and Benny CASE: Benson Drive were not zoned for some level of commercial activity. As of 2017, only four lots 17-027 (Postponed at the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting) Kodiak Island Borough Planning & Zoning CommissionPage Guidelines25 of 267 June 21, 2017 Page 8 AP...

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Following the P&Z work session held June 14, 2017, the Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the possibility of requiring an as-built survey from the property owner and also requested that Borough staff ascertain who poured the original foundation for this property and when. The as-built survey would clarify exactly how far the existing structure encroaches into the required setbacks. The initial staff report erroneously stated that the City of Port Lions had poured the foundation for this homesite; the applicant stated on his application however that it was the City of Port Lions cleared the area for the foundation, and thus did not actually pour it. CASE: 17-027 (PostponedIn response at theto a June query 27, from 2018 staff, Regular a representative Meeting) from the City of Port Lions explained: Page 28 of 267 AP... Case No. 17-027 Case No. 17-027 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 P&Z REGULAR MEETINGAGENDA JUNE 27, ITEM 208 #5.a.

To my knowledge, the City did not pour a foundation in this location. The City did haul in rock and level the property for the former owner prior to Mr. Fairman. The person who sold the property to Mr. Fairman (Lloyd Raymond) may have poured a foundation but I cannot say for sure. Unfortunately Mr. Raymond has died so we cannot ask him.

Additionally, after the June 14th, 2017 work session, community development staff contacted the applicant and requested any additional documentation that shows when the foundation was built and by whom.

6. Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code are applicable to this request:

KIBC 17.195.010 Authority and purpose. The commission shall review and act upon applications for variances. Variances are provided for by this chapter for the purpose of relaxing zoning district requirements in special circumstances. KIBC 17.195.050 Approval or denial. Within 40 days after the filing of an application, the commission shall render its decision, unless such time limit has been extended by common consent and agreement of the applicant and the commission. A. Approval. If it is the finding of the commission, after consideration of the investigator’s report and receipt of testimony at the public hearing, that the use proposed in the application, or under appropriate conditions or restrictions, meets all of the following, the variance shall be granted: 1. That there are exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to its intended use or development which do not apply generally to other properties in the same land use district; 2. That the strict application of the provisions of this title would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; 3. That the granting of the variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor be detrimental to the public’s health, safety or general welfare; 4. That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the comprehensive plan; 5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special conditions or financial hardship or inconvenience from which relief is being sought by a variance; and 6. That granting the variance will not permit a prohibited land use in the district involved.

B. Denial. If the commission finds, after consideration of the investigator’s report and receipt of testimony at the public hearing, that it cannot make all of the required findings in subsection A of this section it shall deny the variance.

KIBC 17.75.050 Yards. A. Front Yards. 1. The minimum front yard shall be 25 feet unless a previous building line less than this has been established, in which case the minimum front yard for interior lots shall be the average of the setbacks of the main structures on abutting lots on either side if both lots are occupied. 2. If one lot is occupied and the other vacant, the setback shall be the setback of the occupied lot plus one-half the remaining distance to the required 25-foot setback.

STAFF ANALYSIS

Variance Approval Criteria 1. That there are exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to its intended use or development which do not apply generally to other properties in the same land use district. Applicant Response I began construction in June 1996 and was unaware of zoning requirements. The City of Port Lions dug the foundation in its current location and did not mention setback requirements, as a result I constructed my home within required setbacks. Staff Analysis The foundation for this residence was cleared by the City of Port Lions, physically establishing the home site within the setback area. As this action was completed by the local authority, the property owner believed it was done in compliance with Borough regulations, and built the residence in good faith. A representative of the City of Port Lions stated “The City did haul in rock and level the property for the former owner prior to Mr. Fairman. The person who sold the property to Mr. Fairman (Lloyd Raymond) may have poured a foundation but I cannot say for sure.” 2. That the strict application of the provisions of this title would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship. Applicant Response The strict application of code would cause hardship by requiring me to demolish those portions of my home that encroach into the required setbacks. Staff Analysis The strict application of the provisions of this title would most certainly result in practical difficulties in requiring the property owner to demolish or move a house that has already CASE: been built. 17-027 (Postponed at the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting) Page 30 of 267 AP... Case No. 17-027 Case No. 17-027 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 P&Z REGULAR MEETINGAGENDA JUNE 27, ITEM 208 #5.a.

3. That the granting of the variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor be detrimental to the public’s health, safety or general welfare. Applicant Response Granting the variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties or negatively impact public health, safety, or general welfare. Construction of home began in 1996 and completed in 2002 with no negative impact to above. Staff Analysis Granting this variance does not seem likely to result in material damage or prejudice to surrounding properties or the community of Port Lions because the structure has existed at its current location with no adverse effects for several years. Although one property owner has mentioned an objection to this variance due to “the extremely close proximity between buildings”, the proximity is a result of the existing structure, and would not be the result of granting this variance.

4. That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the comprehensive plan. Applicant Response The variance is not contrary to the objectives of the comprehensive plan. Staff Analysis The 2008 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as “Residential” for future land use. Relevant sections of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan include:  Land Use Goal: Be prepared for future development. o Implementation actions: . Zone and plan for the center of town to be an appealing, well-designed community.  Land Use Goal: Regulate and manage land uses to balance the rights of private property owners with community values and objectives. o Implementation actions: . Update the Borough’s zoning ordinance to allow for more flexible set of uses in smaller communities, while continuing to minimize conflicts among adjacent, potentially incompatible uses. Use size limitations, restrictions on noise or odor, buffering and other means to minimize conflicts.  Housing Goal: Help ensure that an adequate supply of land for housing and a sufficient stock of housing, including affordable housing, are available for Borough residents.

5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special conditions or financial hardship or inconvenience from which relief is being sought by a variance. CASE: Applicant Response 17-027 (Postponed at the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting) Page 31 of 267 AP... Case No. 17-027 Case No. 17-027 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 P&Z REGULAR MEETINGAGENDA JUNE 27, ITEM 208 #5.a.

The actions of the applicant did not cause the encroachments. The applicant thought the building location was acceptable due to the City of Port Lions digging the foundation in current location. Staff Analysis The applicant built his home in violation of the R1-Single Family setback requirements established by KIBC 17.75.050, but on top of a cleared area that had already been established by the City of Port Lions—this was interpreted as tacit approval and establishment of conformity with regulations. Thus, the original cause of this encroachment was not directly through the actions of the applicant.

6. That granting the variance will not permit a prohibited land use in the district involved. Applicant Response No. Single-family residences are a permitted use in R1-Single-family Residential zoning. Staff Analysis Single family residences are a permitted use in the R1-Single-family Residential District. CONCLUSION

This home has stood in the same place for several decades with no significant adverse impacts to the surrounding community or Port Lions overall. A cursory inspection by overhead map suggests that many other properties in the City of Port Lions have setback violations as well. It seems most appropriate then that this violation be addressed by normalization through the granting of a variance and obtaining after-the-fact zoning compliance. One neighboring landowner has expressed concern that granting this variance would be inconsistent application of Borough code, and that the space between properties is not sufficient as the structures currently stand. However, granting this variance would not result in any physical change, but instead normalize it, and the granting of a variance would be the correct application of Borough code for an existing violation. Staff has determined that this request meets all of the conditions necessary, as reflected in the findings of fact, for a variance to be granted under KIBC 17.195.050 (Variance).

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that this request be approved with the following conditions: 1.) The owner provide an as-built survey of the property. 2.) The property owner shall apply for after-the-fact zoning compliance for his single family residence and any accessory buildings.

APPROPRIATE MOTION CASE: 17-027 (Postponed at the June 27, 2018 Regular Meeting) Page 32 of 267 AP... Case No. 17-027 Case No. 17-027 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 P&Z REGULAR MEETINGAGENDA JUNE 27, ITEM 208 #5.a.

Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to approve a variance to allow an existing single-family residence to encroach 14 feet into the required front yard setback and 2 feet into the required side yard setback on Lot 9, Block 2, Port Lions Subdivision (KIBC 17.195 and KIBC 17.75.050) subject to the condition outlined in the staff report, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated May 18, 2017 and entered into the record as “Findings of Fact” for Case No. 17-027.

FINDINGS OF FACT (KIBC 17.195.050.A.1-6) 1. There are physical circumstances or conditions that are unique to this parcel. 2. Strict application of the zoning ordinance would result in practical difficulties including moving or demolishing part of a single-family residence. 3. Granting a variance would not adversely affect surrounding properties. 4. The variance is consistent with land use and housing goals and implementation actions identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The applicant is not seeking relief from a self-imposed condition. 6. Granting the requested variance would not result in a prohibited land use in the R1-Single- family Residential District.

Page 59 of 267 REQUES... Case No. 18-019 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-B AGENDA ITEM #5.b. P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018

STAFF ANALYSIS This is a request for a variance for a proposed structure to extend seven (7) feet into the front and one (1) foot into the rear yard setbacks mandated in the R1-Single-Family Residential district. The property owner has proposed building a 1-2 bedroom, single family residence with 960 square feet of heated interior space. The parcel in question was initially created as a 5,000 square foot lot by plat No.1958-2, and reduced to the current size of 3,750 square feet when the State of Alaska took an additional 1,250 feet in 1963 for right-of-way along Rezanof drive. Thus, this has been a non-conforming lot of record since before the 1968 Comprehensive Plan and before most of Kodiak’s zoning rules existed. Enabling the use of existing platted lots on existing infrastructure is one technique for encouraging housing development and efficient land use. To assist the Commission in their decision on this case, variance approval criteria followed by the applicant’s response and staff analysis has been provided below. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (KIBC 17.195.050.A.1-6) 1. That there are exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to its intended use or development which do not apply generally to other properties in the same land use district. Applicant Response The state has already taken frontage ONLY from Lots 1&2 on block 46 (1250 sq ft) reducing lot size from 5000’ to 3750’ and increasing clearance on Rezanof by roughly 16.66’. Staff All lots in block 46 of the East Addition Subdivision were originally 5000 square feet as originally platted in 1958, with some lots along Rezanof Drive reduced even further by an expansion of the Rezanof Drive right-of-way in 19631. This lot is thus an existing non- conformity with respect to lot size that has been additionally reduced by State action. Under existing Borough setback requirements, without this variance the property owner would only be able to build freely on around 1,600 sf of his/her property. 2. That the strict application of the provisions of this title would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship. Applicant Response The covered porch/roof is a critical design aspect of this SFR, plans have been purchased and engineered to our code. Staff Analysis As mentioned above, the Borough’s setback requirements severely limit the developability of this lot. Strict application of setbacks would limit the buildable area of this 3,750 sf lot to around 1,600 sf—about 43%--of the property. Limiting the property owners to the use of less than half of their property for housing in a designated residential district will cause practical CASE: difficulties and unnecessary hardship. 18-019

Page 60 of 267 REQUES... Case No. 18-019 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-B AGENDA ITEM #5.b. P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018

3. That the granting of the variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor be detrimental to the public’s health, safety or general welfare. Applicant Response Block 46 has multiple SF homes built over the property lines of 2 lots This would be the only SFR on its own lot Staff Analysis The applicant proposes a single-family residence in a long-standing single family residential district that is developed with structures that are similarly spaced from the edge of Rezanof Drive East. Consequently, the proposed development is consistent with the existing development and character of the surrounding neighborhood. 4. That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the comprehensive plan. Applicant Response This smaller lot development has been encouraged due to prohibitive building costs. Staff Analysis Approving this variance would be in line with several goals and policies of the 2008 Comprehensive plan:  Housing Goal Help ensure that an adequate supply of land for housing and a sufficient stock of housing, including affordable housing, are available for Borough residents.  Land Use Goal Regulate and manage land uses to balance the rights of private property owners with community values and objectives. o Land Use Policy Maximize compatibility of adjacent land uses and minimize conflicts through zoning, buffering, design standards, and other means. o Land Use Policy Zone land to meet future housing, commercial, industrial, and other land needs  Land Use Goal Develop a comprehensive management framework to encourage economic development while protecting coastal resources. o Land Use Policy CASE: 18-019 Encourage innovative development designed to maximize the use of available land

5. That actions of the applicant did not cause special conditions or financial hardship or inconvenience from which relief is being sought by a variance. Applicant Response No actions have occurred. We tried unsuccessfully to Purchase the 1250’ of property the State of Alaska took from Lots 1&2 block 46 This would have given us more setback than all SFR’s on Rezanof block 46 and no variance would have been required. Staff Analysis The applicant did not cause the special conditions from which relief is being sought. The inconvenience was caused by a State land taking that resulted in the front property line of the subject parcel being further from the edge of the roadway than some of the other lots in the surrounding area. 6. That granting the variance will not permit a prohibited land use in the district involved. Applicant Response Granting of the variance will not permit a prohibited use, as single-family dwellings are listed as a permitted use in the R1-Single-Family Residential District. Staff Analysis Single family dwellings are a permitted and favored use in the R1-Single-Family Residential district. CONCLUSION Based on the above analysis, staff has determined that this request meets all the conditions necessary, as reflected in the findings of fact, for the granting of a variance under Chapter 17.195 (Variances) of the Borough Code.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends this variance be granted. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to grant a variance to allow construction of a single-family dwelling with a roofed front deck that encroaches 7 feet into the required 25 foot front yard setback and a roofed rear deck that encroaches 1 foot into the required 10 foot rear yard setback on Lot 2, Block 46, East addition Subdivision (KIBC 17.195, 17.75.050.A, and 17.75.050.C), and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated August 1, 2018. FINDINGS OF FACT (KIBC 17.195.050.A.1-6) 1. There are exceptional physical circumstances or conditions applicable to this property including land absorbed into State of Alaska right-of-way which do not apply generally to other properties in the same land use district. 2. Strict application of the provisions of this title would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship by limiting the property owner to a buildable area of around 1,600 square feet on a 3,750 square foot lot. 3. The proposed development is consistent with the existing development and character of the surrounding neighborhood. Consequently, the granting of this variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties in the vicinity nor be detrimental to the public’s health, safety or general welfare. The proposed develop 4. Granting of the variance will not be contrary to the objectives of the comprehensive plan. 5. The applicant did not cause the special conditions from which relief is being sought. The conditions were caused by a State land taking that resulted in the front property line of the subject parcel being further from the finished edge of the roadway than some of the other lots in the surrounding area. 6. The proposed land use is permitted in the R1-Single-Family Residential district and granting the variance will not permit a prohibited use in that district.

Memorandum

Date: October 26, 2017 To: Larsen Bay City Council From: Community Development Department RE: Update to the Larsen Bay Annex of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan

On October 17, 2017 the Larsen Bay City Council hosted a meeting to discuss a potential update to the Larsen Bay Annex of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) Comprehensive Plan. At that meeting, KIB Community Development Director, Sara Mason, participated in the community’s discussion on how to move forward and offered to provide a draft scope for the City Council’s review and consideration.

The following is the proposed scope for the process to update the Larsen Bay Annex. Borough staff would be glad to answer any questions and entertain any suggested changes that the Larsen Bay community has.

Task 1—Stakeholder Coordination Stakeholder coordination is the most important element of any comprehensive plan. It is critical to identify interested parties early in the planning process and to provide ample opportunity for continued engagement.

1.1 Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) The CPAC will be a committee of at least five members, to be selected by the Larsen Bay City Council. This body will serve as a steering committee and will continuously guide Borough staff’s activities during the planning process. The CPAC can provide insight and direction relating to coordination with other agencies or organizations such as the Native Village of Larsen Bay, Koniag, Inc., and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

1.2 Public Meetings It is recommended that at least four public meetings occur, with Borough staff present, in CASE: addition to meetings of the CPAC. Timeframes for proposed public meetings in relation to 19-002 project tasks are:

APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay

1 Page 68 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

 Public Meeting #1—Beginning of Task 3 This meeting will be two-pronged: 1) Borough staff will present data gathered and analyzed and solicit feedback and 2) Borough staff will facilitate community discussion about a long-term vision and associated goals for Larsen Bay.  Public Meeting #2—End of Task 3 This meeting will also be two-pronged: 1) Borough staff will share a finalized vision and supporting goals and 2) Borough staff will ask for guidance on the drafting of policies and implementation actions.  Public Meeting #3—Middle of Task 4 At this meeting the Larsen Bay community will be able to review draft policies and implementation actions and provide input to Borough staff on potential changes to these items.  Public Meeting #4—Beginning of Task 5 This meeting will coincide with the release of the draft plan and 4-week public comment period. Borough staff will present the compiled draft plan document and solicit feedback from the community.

1.3 Public Hearings In addition to public meetings, several public hearings will also occur prior to formal adoption of the plan update by the Borough Assembly. At least one public hearing each will be held by the following boards or committees:

 Planning & Zoning Commission  Borough Assembly

Additional public hearings may occur with either elected or appointed body; to be determined at a later date.

Task 2—Data Gathering and Analysis The data found in the existing 2008 Comprehensive Plan is out-of-date and a number of facts in this plan pertaining to Larsen Bay are incorrect. This task will update the out-of-date data and will allow Borough staff to work with the community to remedy any errors in information. Data elements provided in the last plan included:

 History and Culture  Population and Housing  Local Government  Land Management and Use  Economic Development  Transportation and Public Facilities  Parks and Recreation  Environmental Quality

CASE: It is the intent of Borough staff to provide more detailed information for each data element, when 19-002 applicable, in order to better inform Task 3 and Task 4. Being very specific in identifying current information, expected trends (as necessary), and existing or anticipated needs in the community APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay 2

Page 69 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

allows for the development of much more specific and meaningful goals, policies, and objectives.

Task 3—Visioning and Goal Setting Identifying a vision and associated goals is critical to any planning process. For this task Borough staff will be relying very heavily on the Larsen Bay community for input and guidance. Both the 2004 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Community Vision and Plan and 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan will be used as the foundation of discussions during this task. During this task Borough staff intends to seek input on the following types of questions:

 Does the current vision for the Larsen Bay Community still apply? If not, what needs to change?  Do the current identified goals need modification, deletion, or replacement in order to better support working toward Larsen Bay’s vision?  Do the proposed goals lend themselves to being carried out through policy directives and implementation actions? Are they too general or too specific?

Task 4—Development of Policies and Implementation Actions In order to ensure that the goals of the community are being furthered, effective policies and implementation actions must be in place. Similar to the proposed methodology in Task 3, Borough staff will rely heavily on the Larsen Bay community in answering questions such as:

 Have the existing policies and implementation actions adequately supported identified goals? If not, what is the reason?  Do new policies and implementation actions need to be developed to reflect changing conditions in the community?  Are there policies and implementation actions identified in previous plans that are now obsolete or irrelevant?

Task 5—Final Comprehensive Plan Once Tasks 2, 3, and 4 are complete, Borough staff will take all of the information gathered for each task and will compile it, along with documentation of the public involvement process, into a draft plan. The draft plan will be presented to the CPAC/Larsen Bay City Council and the Larsen Bay community. If necessary, Borough staff will work with the CPAC to make any necessary changes. Once the plan has been approved by the Larsen Bay City Council, Borough staff will present the final comprehensive plan document to the Planning & Zoning Commission for consideration. Once approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission, the document will be forwarded to the Borough Assembly for final approval and incorporation, by ordinance, into the Borough Comprehensive Plan.

Task 6—Follow-up Activities Several action items may arise in response to adoption of the final comprehensive plan document and could include: CASE: 19-002  Changes to Borough zoning codes  Changes to Larsen Bay business licensing codes APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay 3

Page 70 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

These potential items will be determined at a later date.

Page 74 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

4. Methods

4.1 Point of Contact To ensure that all public comments are received and documented, a single point of contact will be established in the Community Development Department (CDD) and a tracking system will be created to document all project correspondence (Sections 5.2 and 5.3). Please see Section 1.2 for contact information specific to public involvement.

4.2 Meetings and Hearings

4.2.1 Meetings with the CPAC The Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) will meet many times throughout the life of the planning project; both with and without Borough staff present. The CPAC membership will be selected by the Larsen Bay City Council.

4.2.2 Public Meetings Several public meetings will be held throughout the project to coincide with key project decision points. Borough staff is proposing a minimum of four public meetings, which are tentatively identified in the project schedule. Unless otherwise stated, meetings will be held in the City Building in Larsen Bay.

4.2.3 Public Hearings After the draft plan has been revised based on comment received via the public involvement process, a public hearing will be scheduled with the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission. Once P&Z feels that the plan is ready (which may result in multiple public hearings), it will be forwarded to the Assembly with a recommendation of approval. The Assembly will also hold at least one public hearing on the plan before taking final legislative action. Unless otherwise stated, hearings will be held in Borough Assembly Chambers in Kodiak.

4.3 Mailing List A mailing list will be developed and maintained by CDD for those wishing to receive project updates by mail. Several postcards will be mailed that coincide with key milestones and events, such as public meetings and release of the draft comprehensive plan document.

4.4 Listserv For interested parties preferring electronic communication, a listserv will be developed and maintained by CDD. Email correspondence will be sent at the same time as mailed updates and will contain the same information.

Page 75 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

4.5 Documentation of Public Involvement Activities All public involvement and outreach activities will be documented as they occur. A compilation of this information will be included as a chapter of the updated comprehensive plan.

4.6 Comment Documentation A table will be maintained to document each public comment received and each response sent. This table will allow staff to easily categorize and summarize issues, concerns, and suggestions submitted by stakeholders and to ensure that each project participant’s comments are being weighed and considered in the decision-making process.

Comments will be responded to in the manner in which they were received. For example, a comment sent in the form of a letter will be responded to with a letter.

4.7 Other Methods Other public outreach methods may be added to this Public Involvement Plan as needed if public involvement goals are not being met.

5. Communication

5.1 Communicating with the Planning and Zoning Commission P&Z will be provided updates on the progress of the project at work sessions and regular meetings. All documents distributed to P&Z commissioners for these discussions will also be made available to the public and although these meetings will not be public hearings at which public testimony will be heard, citizens will be encouraged to observe discussions and provide written feedback to CDD staff (Section 1.2).

5.2 Communicating by E-mail and Letter All comments received and responses sent via e-mail or letters will be saved as PDFs and will be kept by CDD, distributed to P&Z, and made available for the public to view. Through the life of the project, original e-mails will also be kept in their native file format in Microsoft Outlook.

5.3 Communicating by Telephone and In-Person All telephone and in-person correspondence will be documented electronically, to the extent possible, and filed with e-mail and letter correspondence with CDD (Section 5.2). Similarly, telephone and in-person communications will be distributed to P&Z and made available to the public.

Good Afternoon Sara,

The Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) had its first meeting last night, November 17th.

The group voted me as Chairperson and set our regular meetings for Thursday nights at 530 at the Larsen Bay Teen Center.

During our first meeting we reviewed the 2 memos of October 26th sent to the Larsen Bay City Council by your office The Memorandums provided a draft scope for the process to update the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan and a proposed Public Involvement Plan.

The CPAC will be reviewing the draft scope, Public Involvement Plan, timeline/activities and the current Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan and bring back suggestions and recommendations for the group’s review at our November 30th meeting. We will then present our work to date and recommendations to the Larsen Bay City Council at their December meeting.

We anticipate being on track to hold our first Public meeting with Borough staff on Thursday, December 14th. Would date work for you and or your staff?

Thank you for providing the draft scope and Public Involvement Plan – it allowed us to focus on the work that needs to be done and provided a reasonable timeline for us to consider.

Respectfully,

Jane Petrich

To make sure that I address all of your comments I’ve put some notes in red in the email below.

I’ll be out of town next week attending an EPA conference in Pittsburgh, but will have access to email and will be checking it regularly. If something comes up that you prefer to talk about over the phone, my cell number is (907) 799-9282.

Good Morning Sara,

The Larsen Bay CPAC held their second meeting last night. We reviewed and provided comments to the Memos of October 26th from the Community Development Department. The Memos provided a draft scope for the process of updating the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan and a Public Involvement Plan for the update. The CPAC members present were comfortable with the scope as outlined and had a couple questions: 3.1 of the PIP states members of the Public at Large are encourage to provide input throughout the process. Does Public at Large refer to Larsen Bay residents or to a broader population of individuals we should be considering? CASE: In this context “public at large” refers primarily to Larsen Bay residents. I would say that it also more loosely 19-002 covers folks who are not within the corporate limits of the City of Larsen Bay, but who are also considered part of the overall Larsen Bay community, such as the folks on Amook Island who might regularly frequent Larsen Bay and/or provide to the Larsen Bay economy, etc. We’ll, of course, take public comment from any person who APPLICANT:wishes to provide it. But, deference will be given to Larsen Bay’s comments above all others. City of LarsenThe secondBay question was procedural. Are we to be taking and submitting an agenda and minutes of all the CPAC meetings to the CDD? Do we need a quorum to make our recommendations to the Council? For CPAC meetings

Page 78 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

where the Borough is not in attendance, please feel free to run the meetings as you wish. You won’t need to provide an agenda or meeting minutes for any of your meetings; just a summary like the one you’ve provided here will work great for documentation purposes. Since there’s no requirement in KIB Code for a quorum, you don’t have to have a quorum to make recommendations, unless it’s something that your Council requests. Other topics covered included: • Brainstorming ways to keep the residents and interested people engaged in the Comprehensive Plan review. Some ideas included weekly postings in the Larsen Bay Bulletin/Facebook; brief (2 question) surveys at community events i.e., School Bazaar, community potlucks, cookie exchange; CPAC members talking up the process at every opportunity; keeping the Council informed of the CPAC discussions and progress. I’m so glad you guys are thinking about this! Planning fatigue is a real thing. My hope is that the short timeline for the plan will help, but everyone is busy and has lives and things like this end up going to the wayside. Surveys are always great. • Providing more robust and factual information for the EXISTING CONDITIONS portion of the rewrite of the Comprehensive Plan. Committee members would like to see a narrative reflective of the rich history and Alutiiq culture of Larsen Bay. The Alutiiq Museum, State RUBA program and Tribal Offices were ideas of agencies that may be able to provide information. This also is a great idea. The Existing Conditions sections for all of our rural communities aren’t very detailed. I’ll make sure that it’s much more robust than the 2008 Comp Plan. • Hugh volunteered to work with Bill Nelson and City on the Public Facilities portion of the rewrite. Awesome! I’ve attached a screen shot of the current draft outline (I’ve only attached the screen shot because it’s part of a Word document that’s much bigger. As you can see, I don’t have additional sub-sections under the chapter sections yet. They are welcome to format it however they see fit and I’ll make sure that all of the information they provide is included in the draft plan. Since you guys have already looked at the scope, schedule, and PIP I can modify the proposed agenda that I sent you (perhaps by Monday December 11th) based on your progress at this meeting and your next, and can add items to the agenda such as the structure of the outline, strategies for providing community photos, and a more in- depth conversation about what will happen at the future CPAC/Borough and public meetings.

Next meeting of the Larsen Bay CPAC is Thursday, December 7, 2017.

Please let me know if this summary and documentation is adequate for our CPAC meetings.

Sounds like Kodiak is one big skating rink! Same here.

Hi Jane,

I have to be honest—I hadn’t even thought about the option to teleconference! I think that might be the best way to go about this first CPAC meeting. For the rest though, ideally I’ll be there in-person.

Keeping on task is always the challenge, indeed. If it helps, I did have a specific agenda in mind for that meeting to keep on task and keep things moving forward. I’ve attached it and would love for you to provide feedback. I have meetings dates/times in the header, but that is easily changed if that’s what works best for you guys.

As you’ll see, I also included an updated schedule. The schedule hasn’t actually changed; it’s just been updated to remedy a typo on my part (Task 3 shaded cells have been moved down one row). All the best,

Sara,

Most of the committee members work during the day so an afternoon meeting would not work. Joining us on the 14th for our evening meeting would be great. Linking you in via speaker phone is an option if weather or other obligations interfere with plans.

We were all over the place our first meeting. The challenge will be keeping the group focused on specific tasks. Committee members were going to review your memos and the previous comprehensive plans before Thursday's meeting.

I will send an update after Thursday's meeting. I will present our progress to date to the City Council at their December 13th meeting.

Summary comments from December 7, 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee meeting

Members present: Hugh Kennen, Bill Nelson, Jonathan Malutin, Marilyn Arneson, Richard Henson, Susan Malutin, and Jane Petrich Also in attendance Teresa Muller, City Clerk.

We again reviewed the scope and calendar and the public involvement plan as outlined by the Borough Community Development Department in October 26th Memos.

We are now in the data gathering and data analysis portion of the Plan. Discussion revolved around three main questions and areas of concern. 1) How do we get good data on what happens to a community when the school closes, call Larry LeDoux, 2) Where do we get data on the numbers of halibut and deer (resource drain) taken out of Larsen Bay and Uyak Bay by the local Lodges and other commercial entities that hunt and fish in the area, Jane to call ADFG and see who has the data, and 3) Utility infrastructure current capacity and potential for expansion. Hugh and Bill will put together a report and be prepared to discuss at December 14th meeting.

Potential for economic development was brainstormed which led to questions on the CDQ (?)- (Community/tribal owned recreational halibut rights) program. We had more questions than information and Marilyn and Susan were going to research.

Participant Involvement question – Jane has a spread sheet of Customer contact list for Larsen Bay from the City which is fairly broad based (anyone who has purchased fuel, moorage, utilities from LB). Is there a budget (postage, paper, envelopes, copying costs) to send out info to these people?

Next meeting will be Thursday, December 14, 2017 beginning at 400 PM (please note change in start time). Sara Mason from the Borough CDD will be in attendance telephonically.

CPAC Utility Issues

Larsen Bay's power and water utilities must be an integral part of the CPAC considerations that may bear on the City's ability to provide power and water for any expansion.

The City's power is generated primarily by the hydro electric plant. Although the generator is rated at 475KW output, its current capacity is limited to 250KW due to its operational limitations which are age related. The hydro plant is circa 1985. The current grid load sees peak demands of 225KW. Any future development would be predicated on an upgrade to our power production capabilities. Although our diesel generators are rarely used, their limitations on peak demands are the same as the hydro.

The City's new water plant was put on line in 2011. Its design capacity is limited to 115,000 GPD. The storage tank is 283,000 gallons. Given the historical data, the expected daily usage should not exceed 40,000 gallons. We are currently using about 80,000 gallons a day. We are currently loosing about 50% of our production to losses from leaks in the distribution system. Any expansion in the City that requires water would have to be subject to the City's ability to correct the current problems that are contributing to the high loss rate.

Page 91 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c. Issues Common to Multiple, Outlying Communities The following issues were identiﬁ ed in Comprehensive Plan meetings in outlying communities. When prioritizing these issues, residents typically ranked many of them as high.

 Land use planning fl exibility. Residents indicated that zoning designations should be fl exible enough to allow for a mix of uses within each Comprehensive Plan or zoning designation (e.g., home occupations or small commercial businesses in residential zones), while protecting adjacent land uses from impacts related to noise or other adverse effects of such uses.  Marine transportation facilities. All outlying communities off of the road system expressed a desire for dock improvements that would allow new or expanded ferry service. They also expressed the need for marine freight service, which recently was discontinued by the primary carrier for most communities.  Airstrip improvements. Improvements that will enhance passenger access and freight movements were identifi ed by residents of outlying communities as important to their economic viability. (See Chapter 7 - Transportation for more information about this issue.)  School facilities. Meeting participants in most of the outlying communities identifi ed a variety of improvements needed to their respective school facilities, such as seismic upgrades, repairs to prevent or repair damage from water leaks and/or mold damage, and new exterior painting. Residents in most communities also identifi ed population shifts that impact school enrollments as an issue.  Other infrastructure needs. A variety of public facility needs in many outlying communities were identifi ed, including improvements needed to solid waste facilities, sewer and water systems, electrical generation, and transportation facilities.  Fuel and energy costs. Residents in all communities cited the high cost of fuel and need to develop and use alternative or lower-cost sources, where possible and/or provide support to residents to help address these costs.  Communication. The need for improved communication between the Borough and local governments, Tribal organizations, and community groups was identifi ed as a high priority in all the community scoping meetings outside the City of Kodiak.  Support for local communities. Residents in many communities, particularly those not on the road system, recommended that the Borough do a better job of identifying rural community needs and considering them in combination with Kodiak’s urban area needs to ensure an equitable aproach to meeting Borough-wide needs.  Sport fi shing, guiding and subsistence fi shing and hunting. Community members noted the importance of ensuring that elected representatives understand the importance of sport and subsistence fi shing, in addition to CASE: commercial fi shing. There is a need for local registration areas to protect 19-002 local hunters and guiding outfi ts. Individual fi shing quotas (IFQ’s) are a potential problem for the local tourism industry. Those regulations and limited entry requirements may impact local APPLICANT: tour guides, charter boats, etc. City of Larsen Bay KodiakIsland Page 2 3 January, 2008 BOROUGH Chapter Eleven 3 Local Communities Comprehensive Plan Update Page 92 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

 Demographic characteristics. Loss of young people in outlying cities and villages is a signifi cant demographic issue that affects the future viability of those communities.  Teacher housing. The need for improved and better-maintained teacher housing was mentioned in all the Comprehensive Plan meetings in the outlying communities. The poor quality of the available housing was often cited as a reason why schools in those areas have diffi culty retaining teachers.  Federal water treatment regulations. New federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) surface water treatment rules could have signifi cant impacts on cities throughout the borough. New rules require a level of treatment that could result in very costly improvements to local water treatment facilities and systems. This could impact all cities in the Borough, including outlying communities with limited capacity to pay for and maintain such systems. City of Kodiak The following is a brief summary of existing conditions for the City of Kodiak. A more detailed description of needs, goals, policies and implementation actions can be found in previous chapters (1-10), as they relate primarily to the Kodiak urban area. Existing Conditions The City of Kodiak is located on the northeastern tip of Kodiak Island, 252 air miles from Anchorage. The City of Kodiak was incorporated in 1940 and adopted a City Charter in 1965.

Population and Housing The City of Kodiak has the largest population on the Island. The 2005 population estimate for was 6,088 people. According to Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (ADOLWD), in 2005, approximately 3,998 people lived in an area classiﬁ ed as “remainder of Kodiak Island Borough.” The large majority of these people live primarily in the unincorporated area immediately surrounding the City of Kodiak.

According to the 2000 Census, the City of Kodiak area is an exceptionally racially diverse community and is the most diverse in the Borough. Non-white residents make up the majority of its population (53.6%). Asians make up 31.7% of the population. Alaska Natives and American Indians make up 11% of the population. There are more people of Hispanic ethnicity located in the City of Kodiak area than elsewhere in the Borough (8.5%). Seventy-two% of the area immediately surrounding the City of Kodiak (outside of City limits) is White.

There are 2,183 housing units with the City of Kodiak, 45% of which are single-family, detached units. Multi-family housing makes up the majority of units in Kodiak (53%). Approximately 48% of units are owner-occupied.

CASE:Local Government 19-002 Kodiak is a home-rule city, responsible for its own water and sewer facilities. The City has assumed the authority to provide various additional services to its residents, as provided in Title 29 of APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay KodiakIsland Chapter Eleven 3 Local Communities BOROUGH Page 3 3 January, 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Page 93 of 267 REQUEST: ...

emergencies. There also is a Community Health Provider, who provides behavioral health support and services. KANA also provides some in-village physician and dental services through itinerant health care providers. KANA’s services are available only to those who qualify under federal guidelines; so non-native residents may receive emergency assistance but must go to Kodiak for their healthcare needs.

The community has one Village Public Safety Offi cer, as well as a volunteer fi re department and some fi re-fi ghting equipment, including one truck and one trailer that can be pulled behind a snow machine. Emergency response is provided through the fi ve-member Emergency Response Team, in accordance with a community Emergency Response Plan.

The City also supports a small library and Culture Center.16

Parks and Recreation With the exception of the Culture Center, there are no formal recreational facilities in Larsen Bay.

Environmental Quality The local climate in Larsen Bay supports a wide variety of plants, animal and bird life. Marine mammals such as whales, sea lions, and seals are frequent visitors to Uyak Bay and are often visible from the City. Shellﬁ sh such as tanner and Dungeness crabs also are found.

Mild earthquake activity is frequent in the area and several large earthquakes have been experienced in the past. The 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake caused sustained ground shaking in Larsen Bay, but the resulting tsunami did not affect the community. Larsen Bay experienced a prolonged earthquake in 2000 that registered 7.0 on the Richter scale. Scientists continue to map and discover earthquake fault systems in the area.17 Issues Speciﬁ c issues noted by residents in Comprehensive Plan meetings in addition to those identiﬁ ed at the beginning of this chapter include the following:

 The community had limited input in the 1984 Comprehensive Plan for Larsen Bay which should not be used as the basis for land use decisions.

 Allow small-scale commercial uses and more Bed-and-Breakfasts and lodges, such as in mixed- use zones under certain conditions.

 Address concerns about the social impacts of some lodges located within neighborhoods.

 Land use planning needed on Amook Island.

 Need to expand the boundaries of the City’s watershed.

 The City should be informed and have leadership on what happens in the City. CASE: 19-002  Develop housing to attract and keep teachers.

Larsen Bay Property Owner Larsen Bay, Alaska 99624

Re: Update to the Kodiak Island Borough 2008 Comprehensive Plan’s Larsen Bay Annex

Dear Larsen Bay Property Owner:

You are receiving this letter from the Kodiak Island Borough’s (Borough) Community Development Department (CDD) and the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) to let you know about a joint planning effort between the City of Larsen Bay and the Borough: an update to the Kodiak Island Borough 2008 Comprehensive Plan’s Larsen Bay Annex.

The purpose of a comprehensive plan is to determine and then document a community’s collective vision for the future, as well as the goals, policies, and actions the community believes necessary to address existing issues and achieve their vision for long-term development. Once completed, a comprehensive plan guides policy decisions for numerous aspects of the community; land use, transportation, housing, and economic development, to name a few.

Because this plan is so important, the City of Larsen Bay and CDD wanted to reach out to you and make you aware of the project and share ways that you can participate. The first public meeting was held on January 10, 2018 in Larsen Bay. Subsequent public meetings are tentatively scheduled for the second weeks of February, March, and April. In addition to these public meetings, CDD is soliciting written or verbal feedback through the plan development stage.

Most issues in the 2008 Plan are relevant today. Two current issues in the forefront of the local CPAC, composed of current residents of Larsen Bay, are the shrinking population and the aging utility infrastructure. The school may be closed as soon as next year which could lead to the CASE: exodus of families with school age children. The City’s fuel farm, water distribution system, the 19-002 power grid and harbor all need substantial money to repair and maintain.

APPLICANT:Once the draft plan has been written and released to the public for feedback, the plan will be City of Larsenpresented Bay to the Planning and Zoning Commission, then the Borough Assembly for adoption.

Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Public Meeting #1 Summary

The first public hearing for the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Update was held on January 10, 2018 in the Larsen Bay Teen Center and was held in conjunction with the City of Larsen Bay’s monthly City Council meeting. A sign-in sheet from the meeting is attached to this summary, as is a PowerPoint presentation that was made to the audience by KIB staff.

The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the project, discuss progress so far, and solicit feedback from the residents of Larsen Bay on two topics:

1) Issues in Larsen Bay a. Do the issues from the existing plan still apply? b. Are there new issues that need to be added to the list? 2) Vision/Goals for Larsen Bay a. Do the goals from the existing plan still apply? b. Are there new goals that need to be added to the list?

In terms of issues identified as common to Kodiak’s rural communities in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the consensus was that all of the issues still applied. The community members present added an emphasis to the need for enhanced marine transportation facilities, the need for affordable and reliable internet access, and an emphasis that the issue of “school facilities” in Larsen Bay is more specifically an issue of school facility closure. The school facility itself is in good working order.

During the discussion about issues identified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan as specific to Larsen Bay, several issues were removed and one was added. The issues removed were the issues of limited input during the 1984 Comprehensive Plan for Larsen Bay, land use planning on Amook Island, and the need to expand the boundaries of the City’s watershed. The group agreed that since much of Amook Island is owned by Koniag, Inc. and there is very little other private property ownership, energy for the current planning effort was better used focusing on the area in and around the City. Bill Nelson and Hugh Kennen indicated that during the last planning effort there was consideration being made to the construction of a diversion project for the City’s water supply reservoir, but the project has since been abandoned. Enforcement of Borough Code was added to the list of issues to be included in the updated plan.

Time ran short and vision/goals for the community were not discussed in detail. Borough staff made the suggestion that they could draft preliminary goals and a community vision statement based on what had been said at the meeting about issues and that they would be discussed at the next meeting, along with policies and implementation actions. Borough staff indicated that they would need approximately 1½ hours for the next public meeting.

The group briefly discussed spreading the word about the project. It was stated that there were CASE: approximately 60 post office boxes in use in Larsen Bay and the Borough offered to send notification to 19-002 all Larsen Bay P.O. box holders. Borough staff will work with local USPS or City staff to get a list of these P.O. boxes and will draft a letter for distribution.

APPLICANT: City of LarsenThe date Bay and time of the next public meeting is tentatively scheduled for the second week of February, but the specific date and time have not been set.

Implementation actions are specific tasks that fall under the umbrella of a policy that work to further a given policy under a goal. Page 125 of 267 REQUEST: ...

CASE: 19-002

2 APPLICANT: It is sometimes the case that implementation actions suffice directly under a goal. It is also, less commonly, the City of Larsencase that Bay providing only policy directives under a goal are appropriate; though this is usually reserved for very broad goals that are more strategic in direction and have anticipated outcomes that are hard to document or quantify.

Good morning!

Each of you are receiving this email because you indicated that you’d like to be notified electronically about progress on the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Update project.

Saturday February 10, 2018, a public meeting was held in Larsen Bay (meeting minutes attached). At this meeting, the key actions of the community were:

Reviewing the draft issues; Modifying the draft vision statement; Modifying the draft goals, as presented, and creating new goals; and Modifying the draft policies and draft implementation actions, as presented, and creating new policies and implementation actions.

Currently, the Community Development Department is working with the CPAC to incorporate comments from the meeting and create an updated draft document containing the issues, vision, goals, policies, and implementation actions for Larsen Bay. This updated document will be used as the basis for community discussion at the next public meeting. It is also anticipated that Larsen Bay’s Future Land Use Designation map will be discussed at the next public meeting.

There will not be a public meeting in March, as originally scheduled. The City Council, CPAC, and Community Development Department are working to find a date for the next public meeting in April. As soon as that date is selected, I will send out another email to provide you with that information. To accommodate the lack of a public meeting in March, the project schedule is being modified and all additional activities from the March public meeting and beyond will be delayed by one month to allow for maximum public participation (new schedule attached).

STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Case No. 19-002. An ordinance of the Kodiak Island Borough amending KIBC 17.10 (Comprehensive Plan) to incorporate the 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update. DATE: August 1, 2018 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Community Development Department SUBJECT: Staff Report and Recommendation CASE: 19-002 APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay LOCATION: All Lands within the corporate boundaries of the City of Larsen Bay LEGAL DSC: N/A ZONING: N/A NOTICE: Ninety-two (92) notices were mailed on July 06, 2018. As of the date this report was prepared, no notices had been returned. SITE VISIT: Various Applicable Regulations: The following sections of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code are applicable to this request: 17.05.010 Authority (Authority, Purpose, and Intent) In accordance with the provisions of AS 29.40.040, Land use regulation, this title is enacted for the regulation of the use of land in the Kodiak Island Borough. 17.10.010 Definition (Comprehensive Plan) The comprehensive plan for the borough is that compilation of adopted policy statements, goals, standards, and maps for guiding the physical, social, and economic development, both public and private, of the borough, which may include, but are not limited to, the following topics: A.

L. Population; M. Housing; N. Economy; O. Transportation; P. Community facilities; Q. Utilities; and R. Growth requirements. 17.10.020 Reference and use (Comprehensive Plan) In accordance with Alaska Statutes, zoning decisions shall be based upon the recommendations contained in the comprehensive plan. 17.205.010 Authority (Amendments and Changes) Whenever the public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practice requires, the assembly may, by ordinance and after report thereon by the commission and public hearing as required by law, amend, supplement, modify, repeal or otherwise change these regulations and the boundaries of the districts. STAFF ANALYSIS The 2008 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on December 6, 2007 and has not been updated since its adoption. In June 2017 the Larsen Bay City Council, in response to several Future Land Use Designation and rezone cases for properties within the municipal boundaries of Larsen Bay, submitted a resolution (City of Larsen Bay Resolution No. 17-11) to the Borough requesting a formal review of Larsen Bay’s Annex of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. In August 2017, the Assembly directed Borough staff to work with Larsen Bay to complete the formal review and update of the plan. Staff submitted a scope, schedule, and public involvement plan to the Larsen Bay City Council for review and approval. The City Council approved the documents in November 2017 and the project was kicked off in December 2017. The original schedule showed P&Z’s initial review of the plan in June. However, project delays relating to scheduling conflicts for public meetings pushed the plan review back by two months, to the August 2018 meeting. Numerous goals, policies, and implementation actions in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan are supported by the update of Larsen Bay’s Comprehensive Plan Annex: Population Policy: Monitor and assess changes in the Borough’s population. Population Implementation Action: Review information on Borough population and demographics on a regular basis and as part of new and ongoing planning and development CASE: projects. 19-002 Land Use Goal: Continue to update and improve the effectiveness of Borough policies, plans, regulations, and procedures. APPLICANT:Land Use Implementation Action: Periodically update the Comprehensive Plan with maximum City of Larsenpublic Bayinput and review.

Page 151 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c.

Four public meetings were held in Larsen Bay over the course of plan development and each P.O. Box holder and property owner in Larsen Bay were sent written notification of the project in order to ensure awareness of the project and to solicit maximum community participation. The public involvement process is documented in the draft plan and its appendices. CONCLUSION Staff has determined that this request for incorporation of the Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update is consistent with the objectives of the adopted 2008 Comprehensive Plan and satisfies the applicable requirements of KIBC Chapter 17.10 (Comprehensive Plan) and AS 29.40 (Planning, Platting, and Land Use Regulation). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission forward this ordinance to the Borough Assembly with a recommendation for approval. APPROPRIATE MOTION Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to recommend that the Assembly of the Kodiak Island Borough approve the ordinance amending KIBC 17.10 (Comprehensive Plan), incorporating the 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update, and to adopt the findings of fact in the staff report dated August 01, 2018 for Case No. 19-002. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan has not been update since its adoption 11 years ago in 2007. 2. The City of Larsen Bay wished to update the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Larsen Bay Annex to reflect existing conditions/issues, document the community’s current vision, and develop new goals, policies, and implementation actions to further its updated vision for the future. 3. The updated plan was driven by, and had significant input from, the community of Larsen Bay. 4. Adoption of the 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update is consistent with several goals, policies, and/or implementation actions identified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. CASE: 5. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the Borough Assembly adopt 19-002 this ordinance, incorporating the 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update as an element of the Comprehensive Plan per KIBC 17.10.030.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

Alaska Statutes (AS), Title 29, requires the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB or Borough) to engage in the creation and management of a comprehensive plan. Specifically, AS 29.40.030 defines what a comprehensive plan is, what it does, and how it is to be adopted by the Borough. Per AS 29.40.030, “the comprehensive plan is a compilation of policy statements, goals, standards, and maps for guiding the physical, social, and economic development, both private and public…” This update to the Larsen Bay Annex of the Kodiak Island Borough 2008 Comprehensive Plan meets the definition of a comprehensive plan and provides elements such as a land use plan and recommendations for implementation of the comprehensive plan.

1.2 Plan Background

The Borough’s current comprehensive plan was adopted in 2008. Prior to that, the Borough had not adopted a new comprehensive plan since 1968; though several planning efforts were undertaken between 1968 and 2008, and incorporated by reference to the 1968 Comprehensive Plan. Such a planning effort was undertaken for Larsen Bay and adopted by the KIB Assembly in 1984.

In June 2017 the Larsen Bay City Council adopted Resolution 17-11, requesting formal review and update of the Larsen Bay Annex of the Kodiak Island Borough 2008 Comprehensive Plan. In August 2017, the Borough Assembly directed Community Development staff to collaborate with Larsen Bay in developing this current update to the Larsen Bay Annex. An implementation action identified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan is “periodically update the Comprehensive Plan with maximum public input and review”. This update to the Larsen Bay Annex meets the goal of updating and improving the effectiveness of Borough plans. The public and local government participation activities for this 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update are summarized in Chapter 5 and captured in more detail in Appendices B and C.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

2.1 Geography, History, and Culture

The City of Larsen Bay (City), or Uyaksaq as it is called in the indigenous Alutiiq language, is located on Uyak Bay, on the northwest coast of Kodiak Island. It is 62 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak and 285 miles southwest of Anchorage. The area is believed to have been inhabited for at least 2,000 years by the Alutiiq people. The City was incorporated in 1974. Larsen Bay is a place of great beauty, and visitors come from all over to experience it. Today Larsen Bay—a cluster of houses, large metal-roofed cannery buildings, sturdy wooden docks, and boardwalks— is a community with a rich and mixed heritage that is rooted in the old Alutiiq traditions with a strong Scandinavian heritage that arrived beginning in the later 1800s with the fishing industry. Larsen Bay is named for Peter Larsen, an Unga Island entrepreneur known for trapping, furring and guiding.

A tannery was operated on Uyak Bay in the early 1800s. The modern community began to develop in 1888 when the Arctic Packing Company constructed a cannery on the western shore of Larsen CASE: 19-002 Bay, opposite the present location of the village. Here a seasonal community processed salmon from southern Kodiak Island. APPLICANT: City of Larsen Bay

Page 2 Page 162 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c. DRAFT Drafted by: Sara Mason 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update June 2018

In 1911, the Alaska Packers Association built a large modern cannery next to the future site of Larsen Bay village. By about 1930, families living in the Uyak Bay region began to settle beside the cannery, and were joined gradually by residents from nearby Karluk and Uganik. The cannery, which continues to operate seasonally under changed ownership 1 , provides employment for community members and brings in large numbers of seasonal workers from outside Larsen Bay. Many Alutiiq and non-native families alike also lead guided hunting and fishing excursions around scenic Uyak Bay.

Despite its association with the canning industry, Uyaqsaq was once home to many ancient Alutiiq families. A portion of the village rests atop the Uyak site, a massive prehistoric midden that holds houses, tools, and burials. This site is one of the best-known in Alaska due to its research history. In the 1930s, Aleš Hrdlička, a physical anthropologist from the Smithsonian Institution, led investigations here. In his quest for human remains he paid little attention to archaeological details, destroying valuable information and removing hundreds of ancestral remains. In 1991, Larsen Bay residents argued successfully for the return of these remains. One of the first repatriations in the United States, their efforts set a precedent for the return of Native American skeletons and reverential treatment of Native American graves.

2.2 Population and Housing 2.2.1 Population

The 2010 U. S. Census found a total of 87 people living in Larsen Bay, of whom 71% were of American Indian or Alaskan Native (AI/AN) descent. Nearly all the remaining residents are identified as white. Many residents of Larsen Bay are descended from the indigenous Alutiiq people. A summary of the population’s age distribution in 2010 is presented in Table 1. According to the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, the enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year at the Larsen Bay School was 16.

CASE: 19-002

APPLICANT: City of Larsen1 The cannery Bay is now owned and operated by Icicle Seafoods Inc.

The 2000 U.S Census identified a population of 115 in Larsen Bay, indicating a population decline of approximately 24% between 2000 and 2010. According to the U.S. Census, Larsen Bay’s population peaked in 1980 at 168. The last 100 years of U.S. Census data are captured in Table 2.

2.2.2 Housing

The 2010 U.S. Census showed 70 housing units in Larsen Bay, of which 34 were occupied and 36 vacant. This 51.4% vacancy rate was the highest in the Borough. Among the occupied units, 20 (59%) were owner-occupied and 14 (41%) were renter-occupied. All housing units were detached, single-family homes. The City’s average household size of 2.56 persons was among the lowest in the Borough; higher only than Port Lions. A significant portion of the City’s housing units (43%)

CASE: were built between 1980 and 1989. Only 3% were built in 1990 or later. The remaining 54% of 19-002 units were built throughout the 1940’s through the 1970’s.

As of 2017, approximately 18 homes in Larsen Bay had senior citizens (65+ years of age) identified as the head of household2 and in many cases, these houses were occupied by a senior living alone.

2.3 Local Government

Larsen Bay is incorporated as a second-class city, and is governed by a seven-person city council that includes the mayor. Council members serve staggered three-year terms. As of 2017, the City of Larsen Bay employed 9 full-time and 5 alternate/on-call employees. The City brings in a limited amount of revenue via a 3% sales tax. Most municipal funds come from service charges and other revenue sources. The following services are provided to Larsen Bay by the City and other agencies:

• Street and sidewalk maintenance, (City and Tribal Council) • Electricity (City) • Water and sewer (City) • Health services (Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA)) • Cemetery (City) • Library, senior facility and Culture Center (City, Tribal Council, and Kodiak Senior Services) • School/educational services (Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) and KIB) • Small boat harbor (City) • Solid waste management (City) • Emergency response (Community Emergency Response Team (CERT))

The Natives of Larsen Bay Tribal Council (Tribe) is recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the official governing body for the Native Village of Larsen Bay. The Tribal Council has a full- time president and seven tribal council members. The Larsen Bay Tribal Council has not yet specified its jurisdictional territory.

2.4 Land Management and Use

Development Plan, which describes the conditions that existed in the community at that time, identifies local issues and establishes goals and objectives for the community. In 2004 the City, in cooperation with other organizations in Larsen Bay, prepared the 2004 Larsen Bay Community Plan, which included similar, updated content. Two years later, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly adopted the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, which included an annex specific to Larsen Bay. This annex was based largely on the 2004 Larsen Bay Community Plan.

If the provisions of the 1984, 2004, or 2008 (annex) plans, as they relate to land use or zoning in Larsen Bay, conflict with this update to the Larsen Bay Annex, the updated Larsen Bay Annex shall take precedence. Borough-wide land use goals, policies, and implementation actions will continue to be considered, but will be done so within the context of local land use goals.

Currently, the following zoning districts, identified in Borough Code are applicable to parcels in Larsen Bay: • Business (B) • Conservation (C) • Industrial (I) • Light Industrial (LI) • Public Use Lands (PL) • Single-Family Residential (R-1)

A local village corporation, Nunachkpit, was formed for Larsen Bay under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Nunachkpit later merged into the Koniag, Inc. Native Corporation. Because of this merger, Koniag, Inc. owns and manages much of the land immediately adjacent to the City of Larsen Bay and in the neighboring Karluk River Drainage, including both the surface and sub-surface estates. The federal government also owns significant land holdings near Larsen Bay, which are part of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Commercial access to refuge lands for hunting and fishing is strictly regulated, and Larsen Bay residents rely on access to both Koniag, Inc. and refuge lands for subsistence and commercial CASE: 19-002 guiding and fishing activities.

The City of Larsen Bay owns 37 parcels, totaling approximately 135 acres, within the City’s corporate boundary. These lots include municipal and community buildings such as city hall/teen center, the fire department, post office, and clinic, as well as a number of lots that are currently vacant and zoned R1—Single-Family Residential.

The Larsen Bay Tribal Council owns three lots within the corporate boundary of the City of Larsen Bay, totaling approximately 150 acres. One parcel houses the tribal hall, one is the site of a vacant building adjacent to the school (the Tribal Council is currently working on abatement/remediation of this contaminated site), and one is a very large vacant lot zoned C—Conservation located southeast of the airport. The Tribal Council also owns several parcels outside of the City’s corporate boundaries, but in the vicinity of the Larsen Bay community.

2.5 Economic Development

According to the State of Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s Alaska Local and Regional Information (ALARI) system 3 , approximately 64% of Larsen Bay’s population over the age of 16 is employed at least part-time, with resident employment wages totaling almost $840,000 in 2016. A number of community residents over the age of 16 are not employed, but are not seeking work. However, ALARI identifies 5 unemployment claimants in Larsen Bay in 2016. As of 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) estimates indicate a median household income of $34,750 and a mean household income of $58,490.

The City of Larsen Bay and KIBSD are the largest employers of full-time employees in the community. A large portion of Larsen Bay’s resident employment wages come from the fishing industry. In 2016, the estimated earnings for all fisheries (including salmon and groundfish) were $492,164.

Larsen Bay is one of only two outlying communities on Kodiak Island that has a local cannery outside the City of Kodiak. The other is located near Akhiok. The cannery, owned by Icicle Seafoods Inc., is the largest employer in Larsen Bay; employing approximately 160 seasonal CASE: 19-002

personnel, though most of these cannery positions are filled by non-resident workers. Within the city there are also six lodges, which are open seasonally.

Figure 2: View of Uyak Bay from Larsen Bay Lodge

A study of employment and jobs held by local residents was conducted as part of the Larsen Bay Community Plan process in the early 2000s and no similar study has been conducted since that time. According to that study, there were 222 employment positions in the community, but only 12 of those were full-time. Thirteen of the jobs were part-time, and 187 were seasonal. Only 11 jobs in the community included some form of benefits.

Revenue to the City of Larsen Bay is collected through several means. The State of Alaska’s Community Assistance (CAP) Program (formerly known as the Community Revenue Sharing Program) provides an annual allocation, which was $63,752 for 2017. Additionally, the City is eligible for funding under the State’s Shared Fisheries Business Tax Program, which brought $18,783 to the City in 2017. The City also has a 3% sales tax and collects revenues for municipal utility and waste services4.

2.6 Transportation and Public Facilities

The City of Larsen Bay provides electricity, water, sewer and solid waste disposal services. The City is also responsible for road maintenance, which is financially supported by the Larsen Bay

Tribal Council through the Tribal Transportation Program5. The roads are not paved and do not have streetlights, and road dust is often a problem in summer. The City has a small boat harbor with limited facilities.

The State of Alaska owns a small 2,700- foot gravel airstrip that receives regularly scheduled flights from small aircraft charter companies located in and around the City of Kodiak 6 . Maintenance services for the airstrip are performed by a contracted party and are paid for by the State of Alaska. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities’ (ADOT&PF) Alaska Aviation System Plan indicates that it is the State’s goal to extend all Community Class runway facilities to 3,300 feet. However, Larsen Bay’s current Airport Layout Plan (ALP) identifies the airport’s ultimate phase as maintaining a 2,700-foot runway facility7. To provide justification for an extension and determine Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) eligibility, an analysis of current and forecasted activity and fleet mix would need to be completed.

Minimal airport maintenance and improvement projects have been completed at the airport since the 2008 Comprehensive Plan was adopted. In 2013 $78,800 in AIP funds were provided for surface preservation of the runway and in 2017 $442,420 in AIP funds were provided for the purchase of a new grader, which will be delivered to the airport in summer 2018. Deferred maintenance will also occur at the airport in summer 2018, to include dust palliative treatment and airport lighting repairs.

Larsen Bay’s bulk fuel storage facility holds both heating oil and gasoline, with a total capacity of 85,000 and 40,000 gallons, respectively. Fuel is delivered to the community by barge in the spring months. Construction of the bulk storage facility is relatively recent and the tanks are in good condition.

The City’s power is generated primarily by a small hydroelectric plant located about a mile from town that was built in 1985. Although the hydroelectric plant’s generator is at 475KW (kilowatt) output, its current capacity is limited to 250KW due to age-related operational limitations. The

CASE: 19-002 5 Anticipated shares for the Larsen Bay Tribal Council range from approximately $46,000 in FFY2017 to approximately $51,000 in FFY2020. 6 2016 data provided by air carriers indicate that Arctic Transportation, Grant Aviation, Iliamna Air Taxi, Island Air Service, and APPLICANT:Servant Air Inc. has enplaned passengers at the Larsen Bay airport. City of Larsen7 The analysis Bay completed during the development of the ALP was completed in 2007.

City’s diesel generators, which are rarely used, have the same limitations on peak demands as the hydroelectric system. Any future development in Larsen Bay would be predicated on an upgrade to local power production capabilities. The Icicle Seafoods Inc. cannery currently maintains its own electrical generation plant.

The City’s new water plant, with a design capacity of 115,000 GPD (gallons per day), was opened in 2011. Historical usage data indicates that the City’s overall daily usage should not exceed 40,000 gallons. However, due to losses from leaks in the system, the City is currently losing ~50% of its production and using approximately 80,000 gallons each day. The success of future development requiring expansion of the water system in Larsen Bay will be predicated on the City’s ability to correct the current problems contributing to the high loss rate. A Water Utility Rate Study was completed for the City of Larsen Bay in May 2017 by the Division of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA)8 and has been included as Appendix D of this plan.

Healthcare services are provided by KANA, which operates a small clinic staffed by one full-time health aide and one full-time health aide trainee. They provide assistance for minor health concerns and first response emergencies. KANA also provides limited in-village physician and dental services twice per month through itinerant health care providers.

The community has one Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO). This position is administered by KANA, but operational oversight and funding are provided through the Alaska Department of Public Safety, Division of Alaska State Troopers. Larsen Bay has been without an active duty VPSO for over a year, but both KANA and Larsen Bay are hopeful that a full-time VPSO will again be present in the community in the very near future.

Larsen Bay also has a volunteer fire department and some fire-fighting equipment, including one truck and one trailer that can be pulled behind an off-road vehicle. Emergency response is provided through the five-member Certified Emergency Response Team, in accordance with a community Emergency Response Plan.

CASE: The City also supports a small library and Culture Center. 19-002

2.7 Parks and Recreation

Except for the Culture Center, there are no formal recreational facilities in Larsen Bay, thus, the City of Larsen Bay does not have a standalone Parks and Recreation Department or formal year- round program. However, the City has a use agreement through KIBSD to use the school gym after school hours during the school year and the City hires a Supervisor to oversee the activities and set activity schedules.

In the summer of 2017 the Borough installed new playground equipment at the school, including swings, slides, and climbers. In addition to the playground improvements at the school, the Larsen Bay Tribal Council received a grant in 2017 to improve public access and use of Clyda’s Beach, a local favorite with the community for beach fires and gatherings. Construction will be completed by spring of 2018 and includes slides, climbers, and picnic tables. This beach, along with Moses’ Beach are popular community beaches for picnicking, octopus hunting, beachcombing, and swimming.

Larsen Bay is surrounded by the beauty of Uyak Bay and its beaches, which are protected by large tracts of land owned by Koniag, Inc. and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as part of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.

Many families have 4-wheelers and do trail riding, beach riding, travel to Karluk River, hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and skiff riding as both recreation and transportation. And most families participate in recreational and subsistence hunting and fishing.

2.8 Environmental Quality and Natural Resources

Like the rest of the Kodiak Archipelago, there is a strong marine influence in the area around Larsen Bay. The area experiences very little freezing weather, with an average high temperature of 62℉. Cloud cover and fog are common, as are severe storms between December and February. This climate supports a wide variety of plant, animal and bird life. Marine mammals such as whales, sea lions, seals, and otters are frequent visitors to Uyak Bay and are often visible from the

CASE: City. The waters around Larsen Bay have been recognized as some of the richest commercial 19-002 fishing grounds in the world, with large stocks of Pacific salmon, halibut, cod, and crab9.

APPLICANT: City of Larsen9 NOAA. Bay 2013.

Page 11 Page 171 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c. DRAFT Drafted by: Sara Mason 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update June 2018

Terrestrial mammals such as brown bear, Sitka black-tail deer, mountain goats, and red fox are found in the vicinity of Larsen Bay and are regularly hunted by locals and guided hunters alike. The management of game resources is the responsibility of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G).

Mild earthquake activity is frequent in the area, with several fault lines in the general vicinity; the closest being only 3.5 kilometers (km) from Larsen Bay. In addition to earthquake activity, other natural hazards to which Larsen Bay is vulnerable include volcanic activity, landslides, coastal flooding, coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and tsunamis, though the risk of tsunamis is relatively low for Larsen Bay compared to other coastal communities in Alaska due to its location on the west side of Kodiak Island.

3.0 ISSUES

Through the stakeholder engagement process, several issues were identified for the Larsen Bay Community. These issues are:

3.1 Potential School Closure due to low Enrollment

As of January 2018, enrollment at the Larsen Bay School is twelve students; down five from the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. Once the school is closed, families with school-aged children will likely leave the community, making it less likely that the school will reopen in the near future. The school provides much more beyond the education of children in Larsen Bay; social connections, jobs, communal event space, and an area to participate in healthy activities.

3.2 Aging Public Infrastructure

Upgrades are needed to much of the City’s infrastructure, including the boat harbor, roads, and the water/sewer system. As the tax base declines with the population, the funding of improvements becomes less likely to be sustainable over time.

3.3 Lack of Desirable Housing Inventory/Lack of Housing Options

CASE: A number of houses in Larsen Bay are owned privately, but are not occupied consistently and have 19-002 fallen into a state of disrepair. A lack of available, habitable housing provides a stumbling block

APPLICANT:for the community because there’s no inventory for purchase or rent by new or returning families. City of Larsen Bay

Page 12 Page 172 of 267 REQUEST: ... Case No. 19-002 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-C P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.c. DRAFT Drafted by: Sara Mason 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update June 2018

Additionally, there are no housing options in Larsen Bay outside of single-family residential homes. All residential property in Larsen Bay is zoned R1-Single-Family Residential, which means that under current Borough Code, two-family and multi-family residences are not permitted in any residential area within the community.

3.4 Social and Environmental Impacts of Commercial Uses

Commercial lodge and fishing operations are numerous in Larsen Bay. While the community does not wish for these thriving industries to leave Larsen Bay, several issues have come up relating to the strain on natural and community resources, as well as the incompatibility with some lodges and the existing land uses that they’ve located next to. The community is concerned with the potential for overharvesting of both marine and terrestrial food sources, the demand caused by moderate to intense commercial uses on public utilities and services, and is concerned that the activities occurring at some lodges are a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of Larsen Bay residents. Other nuisances have been reported in conjunction with these commercial activities, including the deliberate attraction of bears, the unsafe processing of game, and the possession of both firearms and alcohol in close proximity to public facilities (e.g. the school and City building).

3.5 Lack of Local Authority and Coordination with the Borough in the Land Use Decision-Making Process

Currently the Borough has planning and land use authority island-wide. However, because the local community is most significantly impacted by Borough land use decisions, Larsen Bay sees a significant need for a stronger local voice in such decision-making. Currently, local municipalities are treated as equals of private property owners for the purposes of notification and comment for proposed land use actions. Regular coordination and communication regarding land use between the City and the Borough has been inadequate in the past.

3.6 Affordable, Reliable Internet Connections

The current lack of affordable and reliable internet connections in Larsen Bay causes numerous problems in the community. City and tribal employees have inconsistent connections that hamper

CASE: their ability to perform essential municipal functions. Other important local institutions face the 19-002 same obstacles, including the clinic, cannery, and post office. The internet at the Larsen Bay

School is paid for through funding provided by KIBSD, but the connection speed is extremely slow when compared to those experienced by the public schools located in the Kodiak Urban Area.

3.7 Lack of Borough Code Enforcement

The Borough has been made aware of several code violations in Larsen Bay, but does not have a formalized, effective code enforcement system in place to deal with complaints and violations in a standard and efficient way. The lack of code enforcement follow-through at the Borough level has led to significant land use conflicts and infrastructure strain within the community.

4.0 VISION, GOALS, POLICIES, & IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS 4.1 Vision

Prior to fully developing the goals, policies, and implementation actions below, the community of Larsen Bay revisited the vision statements from its 2004 Community Comprehensive Plan. The community’s updated vision statement for this plan update—the 2018 Larsen Bay Comprehensive Plan Annex Update—is:

5.0 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Prior to kicking off the effort to update the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Annex for Larsen Bay, a Public Involvement Plan was created by KIB staff and given to the Larsen Bay City Council for review and approval. This plan, included in Appendix A, details the ways in which government agencies, for-profit agencies, individual community members, non-profits, etc. could participate in the planning effort.

5.1 Governmental Coordination

The City of Larsen Bay was the primary contact during the planning effort. The City’s Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) was put together as a steering committee to guide development of the project and provide input to Borough staff on local issues, proposed solutions, and suggestions for logistics during the public outreach process (Section 5.3). To ensure maximum local government representation, the CPAC included membership from the Native Village of Larsen Bay.

5.2 Public Outreach

Public outreach is key to successfully developing and implementing any comprehensive plan. As laid out in the Public Involvement Plan, several public meetings were held at key decision points in the project to solicit feedback and be provided guidance from the Larsen Bay community. Meeting materials, including meeting summaries, sign-in sheets, and PowerPoint presentations are included in Appendix B.

Letters were sent to every property owner and U.S. Post Office Box holder in Larsen Bay notifying them of the planning process. For those interested in ongoing project updates, distribution lists were created by Borough staff, allowing interested parties to be notified by e-mail, mail, or phone of progress, upcoming meetings, and ways to participate in the project.

Meetings were advertised in conjunction with, or in the same manner as, Larsen Bay City Council CASE: 19-002 meetings to ensure adequate notice and/or compliance with the Alaska Open Meetings Act.

5.2.1 Public Meeting #1

The first public meeting for the plan update was held on January 10, 2018 at the Larsen Bay City Building. This meeting was to introduce the project, talk about issues in Larsen Bay, talk about the vision/goals for Larsen Bay, and give the community an idea of what to expect moving forward. This meeting was held in conjunction with a Senior Center dinner and City Council meeting. Both the Council and the public reviewed the issues documented in the existing 2008 Comprehensive Plan and provided input on current issues in Larsen Bay. This discussion, along with high-level discussions about existing goals for Larsen Bay provided Borough staff direction in drafting new vision, issues, and goals statements for community review and finalization at Public Meeting #2.

5.2.2 Public Meeting #2

The second public meeting was held on February 10, 2018 at the Larsen Bay School in conjunction with a community spaghetti dinner. At this meeting, the focus was on four components: providing an overall project update, reviewing and finalizing the draft issues, vision, and goals, gaining community input on draft policies and implementation actions, and sharing next steps for the project. The community members in attendance spent time discussing each of these components and provided Borough staff the information needed to move forward in finalizing policies and implementation actions at Public Meeting #3.

5.2.3 Public Meeting #3

The third public meeting for the plan update was held on May 1, 2018 at the Larsen Bay City Building. The objectives of this meeting were to provide a project update, finalize policies and implementation actions in support of the goals finalized at Public Meeting #2, review the Proposed Future Land Use Designation Map, and discuss next steps (drafting of the plan).

5.2.4 Public Meeting #4

5.3 Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee

The CPAC, as mention in Section 5.1, acted as a steering committee to provide Borough staff direction during the planning process. The CPAC worked closely with Borough staff on activities such as gathering data, identifying issues, drafting goals, policies, and implementation actions, and coordinating public outreach. The CPAC met weekly for much of the project development process and was as integral part of the planning effort. The CPAC was made up of 7 members who were appointed by the Larsen Bay City Council; representing the City, the Tribe, and the public at-large.

6.0 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

A useful comprehensive plan relies on the follow through of its users. Each of the goals and policies will inform and guide decisions made by the Kodiak Island Borough. However, for complete implementation of the plan, it is important to identify agencies/organizations responsible for the oversight of each implementation action (e.g. the Borough, the City, or the Tribe). The table in Section 6.1 provides suggestions for who should be involved in the process of completing each implementation action. The suggestions in the table below are to be viewed as a guide and may change based on factors such as a given agency’s staff availability, funding abilities, etc.

KISA has enlisted 64 the help of a range consultant that evaluated the existing range and made design suggestions 65 to make it available to the shooting public. Design aspects include the proper grading of the 66 area, creation of two backstops, expansion of the width of the range and the installation of a 67 baffle system. The continued closure of this range has led to a number of unsafe bandit ranges 68 along the road system that are not regulated, cause a public nuisance and are in dangerous. 69 70 5. Engineering and Design for East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements $815,000 71 East Elementary School was constructed in 1966 with a substantially addition in 1988. The 72 facility now totals 39,842 square feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the 73 expansion, increased traffic flows in the vicinity due to major business development have 74 created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and leaving school. 75 Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer separation of 76 pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. A new design will require an 77 increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate parking to support increased 78 building usage and occupant load. 79 80 6. Parks and Field Plan $10,000 81 Borough owns and manages land and fields for recreational purposes which need a master 82 plan to ensure best utilization and maintenance by the community. A master plan would also 83 help to reconcile jurisdictional and policy concerns with regard to cooperative use 84 arrangements with City of Kodiak and KIB School District. 85 86 7. Kodiak Island Trail Improvements $50,000 87 This is a priority identified by the Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee. 88 The purpose of the project would be to design and implement trail system improvements as 89 recommended and prioritized in the recently adopted Kodiak Road System Trail Plan, to 90 include, but not limited to, trail head improvements, parking area and circulation plans, 91 drainage improvements, environmental permitting , etc. 92 93 8. Mill Bay Beach Access and Recreation Upgrade $163,000 94 This beach is heavily used by residents, sports fisherman and the community who come to 95 view this bay located close to town. New construction items proposed here would include 96 new stairs and walkways and trail enhancements between the two beaches, as well as a 97 small raft/kayak launch. The planning and design has already been funded. 98 99 9. West Rezanof Drive Pedestrian Improvements $5,000,000 100 The section of West Rezanof Drive near Sargent Creek and the Russian River frequently 101 has visitors taking advantage of fishing opportunities and other wildlife viewing activities. 102 Roadside parking and pedestrian activity along this corridor is not compatible with the high 103 speed vehicular traffic on the roadway. To enhance safety and eliminate conflicts between 104 user groups, new construction items are being proposed.

Groundfish Surveys in the Gulf of Alaska are funded through a line item in NMFS' s 27 budget called Fisheries Data Collections, Surveys and Assessments. The President' s FY 2018 28 budget request recommends a 6 percent reduction in funding for this account. This line item 29 funds critical data collection, fish stock assessments and longstanding fishery surveys nationally. 30 For Alaska, the surveys include the Alaska crab fisheries; Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea pollock 31 and groundfish, rockfish, halibut, and sablefish. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council 32 and NMFS rely upon these fishery surveys to determine annual catch limits and monitor the health 33 of these stocks. Last year, we faced the prospect of NMFS considering a reduction in the number, 34 the spatial extent and the consistency of the winter and summer groundfish surveys occurring in 35 the Gulf of Alaska. Over time, a reduction in these surveys could have negatively affected Kodiak 36 fishermen and processors through cutbacks in annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient stock 37 assessment data. 38 39 2. Homeporting Coast Guard Vessels: The Kodiak Island Borough would like to 40 emphasize that Kodiak remains the ideal location for the deployment of National Response 41 Cutters and Offshore Patrol Cutters, and the clustering of Fast Response Cutters. Kodiak sits at 42 the crossroads of one of the largest fisheries in the world as well as some of the busiest shipping 43 lanes in U. S. waters. Kodiak offers unmatched geographic advantage for timely mission response 44 and deployment to the myriad of marine incidents in the Alaska area of operation. The Borough CASE: 45 recognizes that Kodiak Island also presents unique mission support challenges such as a 19-001 Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018- 12

46 constraint on housing and mooring facilities. Earlier this year, the Coast Guard provided Congress 47 information on its latest vessel acquisitions and deployment plans in the region. It has assigned 48 two Offshore Patrol Cutters ( 360 ft.) to the Kodiak Coast Guard Base, with delivery expected to 49 be in the 2022-23 timeframe. The agency intends to deploy and homeport six 154' Fast Response 50 Cutters ( FRC) in the Gulf of Alaska to be used for search & rescue, coastal patrol, drug 51 interdiction, and fishery enforcement, with the first two vessels already assigned. The Coast 52 Guard has not yet made a homeport decision on the remaining four FRCs, but a decision is likely 53 by the end of this year. The Kodiak Coast Guard Base is a candidate for homeporting two FRCs. 54 We request that the Delegation continue to actively monitor the Coast Guard' s planning process 55 for future deployment of new assets in the Arctic and promote Kodiak as a homeport for these

56 new vessel classes. 57 58 The Kodiak Island Borough stands ready to work with the Coast Guard in whatever way possible 59 to keep this location ideal for capital asset placement and to obtain federal impact aid funding to 60 support a greater Coast Guard presence in Kodiak. 61 62 3. Pink Salmon Disaster Assistance: The Borough strongly supports efforts by the Alaska 63 Delegation to secure Federal fishery disaster assistance due to the major decline in pink salmon 64 harvest and abundance last year. The Governor of Alaska has submitted a disaster request to 65 the Delegation and the Secretary of Commerce earlier this year formally declared a fishery 66 disaster in accordance with the procedures of the Magnusson -Stevens Fishery Management And 67 Conservation Act. Pink salmon are an important commercial species for Kodiak fishermen and 68 processors. A recent analysis by ADF&G shows that average ex -vessel value annual landings 69 were $ 16. 8 million for the Kodiak Management Area in the five harvest years prior to 2016, with 70 a high of $ 28. 8 million in 2012. In 2016, landings value dropped to $ 3. 2 million, an 81 percent 71 decline and one of the largest decreases in the State. This request affirms a separate resolution 72 considered and passed by the Borough in February. 73 74 4. Payment -In -Lieu -of -Taxes ( PILT): The President' s budget request proposes a 12 75 percent cut in PILT funding for FY 2018. Kodiak Island Borough opposes this reduction and 76 supports full funding of PILT at its existing level of $465 million. There are over 2. 8 million acres 77 removed by the Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island 78 Borough. This is land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to develop, creating 79 jobs for the residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island communities. This in turn would create 80 tax revenues for the Kodiak Island Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the 81 loss of revenues to municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government 82 boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including medical facilities, 83 emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. 84 85 5. Refuge Revenue Sharing: The Kodiak Island Borough opposes the termination of 86 funding and is seeking the Alaska Delegation' s assistance in providing level funding for this 87 coming fiscal year. The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of replacement revenue 88 to communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife refuge within their 89 boundaries. That presence removes substantial amounts of property from the local property tax CASE: 90 base. The share we receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially compensates us 19-001 Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018- 12

91 for our tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is over 92 1. 9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed from private ownership, 93 development and taxation over half the property on the island. The President's FY 2018 budget 94 request proposes to eliminate Federal appropriations for this important program. 95 96 6. EPA's Fishing Vessel Discharge Rule: The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that 97 the Alaska Delegation actively support a permanent moratorium preventing EPA from 98 implementing the Small Vessel General Permit Rule and the Vessel General Permit Rule. EPA 99 has promulgated these two rules to require commercial fishermen to obtain Clean Water Act 100 incidental discharge permits as a condition for operating both small and large fishing vessels. The 101 permits would cover ballast water, fish hold water, anchor chain mud, deck wash/ runoff, bilge 102 pump discharge, gray or "stick" water, laundry, shower, and galley sink water. The permits require 103 burdensome reporting, monitoring, inspections and compliance activities — all subject to heavy 104 fines and citizen lawsuits under the Clean Water Act for what seems to be minimal environmental 105 protection. The Congress has imposed a three year moratorium preventing EPA from 106 implementing the Small Vessel General Permit Rule and the Vessel General Permit Rule. The 107 moratorium is set to expire on December 1911 later this year. Legislation is pending in the House 108 and Senate that would make the moratorium permanent. 109 110 7. Essential Air Service & Air Traffic Control Privatization: The Borough urges the 111 Delegation to oppose provisions and legislation that terminate the Essential Air Service Program 112 and initiate the privatization of Air Traffic Control. The President' s FY 2018 budget request 113 recommends terminating appropriations for the Essential Air Service ( EAS) program. Like many 114 rural communities in Alaska and elsewhere in the nation, providing air service to Kodiak is 115 expensive. EAS ensures that the Borough' s communities receive regular air service. Without it, 116 air carriers would either raise ticket prices above their already high levels or discontinue service 117 altogether. We thank the Delegation for its support of EAS over the years and urge the restoration 118 of EAS funding in the FY 2018 appropriations process. Secondly, we understand that the House 119 is again considering legislation to reauthorize the FAA that includes formation of a privatized Air 120 Traffic Control Services Corporation. As we noted in our 2016 Federal priorities resolution, 121 privatization of air traffic control operations through the creation of a new corporate entity would 122 subject rural airport NAVAIDs, personnel, and safety equipment to a business model, cost -benefit 123 test which is unlikely to fare well compared to busier, more urban or major hub airports. 124 Furthermore, the new corporate entity has the flexibility to raise air carrier and cargo user fees 125 and could price rural air service providers out of the market which it might choose to do if those 126 airports are determined to be " not profitable." 127 128 8. U. S. Navy Arctic Presence: The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly requests that the 129 Alaska Congressional Delegation strongly consider Kodiak during any discussion with the 130 Defense Department regarding the expansion of the Navy into Alaska. The U. S. National Strategy 131 for the Arctic has been evolving. The current Arctic Roadmap adopted by the Chief of Naval 132 Operations sets out four strategic objectives: ( 1) Ensuring sovereignty of the United States' 133 Arctic region; ( 2) Providing ready naval forces to respond to crises and contingencies; ( 3) 134 Preserving freedom of navigation; and ( 4) Promoting partnerships within the U. S. government CASE: 135 and its international allies and partners. The Kodiak Island Borough understands that the 19-001 Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018- 12 Page 3 of 5 APPLICANT: Planning and Zoning Commission

Case No. 19-001 Page 217 of 267 ... Case No. 19-001 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-D P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #5.d. NEW BUSINESS ITEM 9C P&Z REGULAR MEETING JULY 18, 2018

COMMUNICATIONS ITEM-B P&Z WORK SESSION, JUNE 20, 2018

136 Department of the Navy is currently conducting a study about whether the achievement of these 137 objectives merits a greater Naval presence in Alaska. The Borough Assembly believes 138 achievement of the National Strategy must include a larger Navy presence, including the 139 establishment of Navy ports -of -call in strategically located Alaskan coastal communities and 140 possibly a full-time Navy base. Kodiak is ideally situated to serve both as a port -of -call for 141 logistics movements and Rest -and -Recreation for deployed sailors. Additionally, the Coast 142 Guard maintains a deep water port at Womens Bay. There is sufficient land adjacent to the 143 Coast Guard Base which could be used for an expanded full-time Navy presence. 144 145 9. Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Power Project —The Kodiak Island Borough requests 146 support of this local rural electrical power infrastructure project. The Upper Hidden Basin 147 Diversion project will connect an additional water source to Kodiak Electric Association' s existing 148 Terror Lake Hydroelectric Facility, which is Kodiak' s primary source of power. The new diversion 149 consists of two small diversion dams on two small upland streams. Surface water from the 150 diversion dam on the eastern stream would flow through a half -mile long underground pipe to the 151 diversion dam on the western stream. From there, surface water from both diversion dams would 152 flow by gravity through a 1. 2 mile long tunnel under a mountain ridge to Terror Lake. The project 153 also includes a four mile long spur road off of an existing road to provide access for constructing 154 and maintaining the new diversion. Once the additional water from the Upper Hidden Basin area 155 reaches Terror Lake, additional power can be produced with existing equipment already in 156 operation at the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project. No changes are needed to the existing Terror 157 Lake dam, penstock, powerhouse, or transmission line. No new turbines or other equipment will 158 be needed. The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion will simply optimize this existing power generation 159 infrastructure, resulting in a more enhanced and efficient use of a local facility. 160 161 The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Project will add 33 million additional kilowatt- hours of energy 162 to KEA's isolated electric grid. Kodiak's only other alternative to meeting Kodiak's power needs 163 is with diesel oil. Diesel power costs over four times more than hydropower, is dependent on fuel 164 barge shipments from outside refineries, and is subject to strict oil storage and air quality 165 regulations. The supply of water from Upper Hidden Basin Diversion can generate the same 166 amount of power as 2. 2 million gallons of diesel per year and avoid 540 tons of nitrogen oxide 167 and 25, 500 tons of greenhouse gas pollution annually by displacing diesel for power, light, and 168 heat. Local hydropower is a clean, long-term fixed -cost asset that remains independent of fuel 169 supply, price volatility or pollution liabilities. Hydropower provides the lowest cost of power in 170 Kodiak and makes Kodiak energy independent and energy secure. 171 172 173 10. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension -- The Kodiak Island Borough request support of this 174 rural road infrastructure project. An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters 175 will provide year around access to those communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as 176 those who use the island' s west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Extending the 177 road to ice free waters makes traveling safer, providing access to critical services located in the 178 City of Kodiak, including hospitals and businesses. The Ouzinkie Native Corporation has agreed 179 through its subsidiary, the Spruce Island Development Corporation, to provide $ 450,000 toward CASE: 180 the project and to donate land to the State for the road' s right of way.

FY2018- 16 8 9 A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING A 10 STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 11 2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION 12 13 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 14,000 residents of the 14 Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by a 15 tribal council government; and 16 17 WHEREAS, a Borough—wide capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak 18 Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission which identifies major needs of the island 19 community for the next five years; and 20 21 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has reviewed the borough -wide capital 22 improvement program adopted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and identified major 23 projects to submit to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding 24 consideration; and 25 26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 27 BOROUGH THAT: 28 29 Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough' s State Legislative capital improvement project 30 priorities for the 2018 legislative session are as follows: 31 32 1. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools 33 Estimated Project Cost $ 1, 300,000 34 State Funding Request $ 1, 300, 000 35 36 Poor visibility of crosswalks in school zones is a safety hazard! Local weather and traffic 37 degrade the paint on crosswalks; and pedestrians waiting to cross are often difficult to see 38 due to the long season of dark days, inclement weather, and busy traffic at popular 39 intersections. 40 41 Rezanof Drive is a state owned roadway and is the main road through the City of Kodiak. 42 Pedestrians needing to cross this road to access schools that include Kodiak Middle School, 43 Main Elementary School, East Elementary School and Kodiak College must wait for a break 44 in traffic or for motorists to notice their intent to cross and stop to allow the crossing.

46 automated crosswalks at intersections of Rezanof Drive and Powell Street, and Rezanof 47 Drive and Benny Benson Street to increase pedestrian safety near schools located along 48 Rezanof Drive. 49 50 2. Safe Pathways to North Star Elementary School 51 Estimated Project Cost $ 1, 500, 000 52 State Funding Request $ 1, 500, 000 53 54 Northstar Elementary School is located on a hill amongst several residential neighborhoods. 55 Many roads connecting the neighborhoods around the school are narrow, steep, and 56 winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep pedestrians safe from 57 vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan ( 2013) describes a need for 58 separated pathways or trails to connect the residential neighborhoods to the school. This 59 project would provide separated gravel pedestrian pathways along Lily Drive and Anton 60 Way. 61 62 3. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements 63 Estimated Project Cost 2, 000, 000 64 State Funding Request 2, 000,000 65 66 There is a safety issue in the East Elementary School parking lot. The school was 67 constructed in 1966 with a substantial addition in 1988. The facility now totals 39, 842 square 68 feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the expansion, increased traffic flows have 69 created dangerous vehicle/ student hazards when students are entering and leaving school. 70 Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer separation of 71 pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. The project will require an 72 increase in the total area of the parking lot by expanding into neighboring Borough -owned 73 land to allow adequate parking to support increased building usage and occupant load. 74 75 4. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek 76 Estimated Project Cost $ 150, 000 77 State Funding Request $ 150, 000 78 79 Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge 80 from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and 81 Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of 82 the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines. This 83 intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding occurring 84 here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to reach homes or 85 critical services located in town. 86 87 This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for 88 bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its 89 channel and stop the flooding of the roadway. 90 91 5. City of Akhiok Power Transmission Line Replacement 92 Estimated Project Cost $ 65,000 CASE: 93 State funding request: $ 65, 000 19-001 Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018- 16

94 95 The school in the community of Akhiok is not only the education center but also the hub of 96 this small community. The main power distribution line from the school's transformer to the 97 City of Akhiok's main power grid has failed. This distribution line is a 750 foot run of 1/ 0 98 direct buried concentric exposed neutral line from the main grid to the transformer. The line 99 has been temporarily repaired but could fail again in another area at any time due to its age 100 and condition. The City has received rough estimated prices for replacement of the line to 101 be $ 50, 000 to $ 60, 000, not including transportation, lodging, or equipment rental for the 102 repair crew to the village. When this transmission line fails again the school will be forced to 103 supply power through their onsite stand- by generators. If the School is required to do this 104 they will have to use the only fuel they have for heating to run the generators full time. If 105 they were to have to do this in the winter they would need to fly fuel into the village at a cost 106 of over $8 a gallon. 107 108 The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding assistance to the City of Akhiok to replace 109 the power transmission line to the school in order to continue essential power service at a 110 reasonable price to the community. 111 112 6. Service Area Road Improvements and Paving 113 Estimated Project Cost $ 7, 500, 000 114 State Funding Request $ 7, 500, 000 115 116 This project addresses the ongoing need to improve portions of Borough Service Area 117 roads. There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that 118 connect residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community. Paving projects will 119 address main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads. Improvements to major drainage 120 courses, installation of guard rails, and other identified road improvement needs may also 121 be addressed with this funding. Local contributions to road improvements may be funded 122 through local improvement districts where those in the district are taxed a proportion of the 123 project cost. Priorities will be given based on recommendations made by the elected service 124 area boards. 125 126 Current priorities include milling and repaving Bells Flats Road, and raising the entrance to 127 Sargent Creek Road along with installing a discharge culvert to avoid problematic flooding at 128 the intersection of this road with the Chiniak Highway in the Womens Bay Road Service 129 Area. Priorities in ( Road) Service Area No. 1 include replacement of corroding corrugated 130 metal culverts along Puffin Way and Sean Circle with high density polyethylene culverts; 131 prep and paving of Woodland Acres roads; prep and paving of Lily Drive to Balika Lane, 132 Balika Lane, Ed' s Way and Eider Street. 133 134 7. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project Phase I: Feasibility & Assessment Survey 135 Estimated Project Cost $ 500, 000 136 State Funding Request $ 500, 000 137 138 There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer 139 and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area 140 are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater 141 treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could 142 include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood is 143 provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water quality 144 and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood.

145 service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and design is the 146 first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the Monashka Bay area. 147 148 149 8. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water 150 Estimated Project Cost 8, 450,000 151 Funding Acquired 450,000 152 State Funding Request 8, 000, 000 153 154 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around 155 access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the island' s 156 west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the year travel by 157 vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters makes 158 traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of Kodiak 159 including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak Transportation 160 Plan as an important upland facility. 161 162 The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation 163 SIDCO) received a $ 450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two 164 miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and 165 boat launch ramp at the road' s termination, a beach near Crag Point. 166 167 Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for 168 construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land owner, 169 Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right-of-way to the 170 State when construction funding is obtained. 171 172 173 174 Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise our 175 State of Alaska Governor and Legislative Delegation of the Capital Improvement Projects 176 Priority List adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly. 177 178 ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 179 THIS SECOND DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2017. 180 181 KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ATTEST: 182 183 C 184 ni, " Z24& z- I 185 Daniel A.

At the July 11, 2018, Borough Assembly/Planning and Zoning Commission Joint Work Session, the Assembly and Commission reviewed and discussed a list of proposed KIBC Title 16 (Subdivision), 17 (Zoning), and 18 (Borough Real Property) amendment topics. At that Work Session, both the Assembly and Commission expressed support for all the proposed amendment topics on that list. Although support was expressed, the list was not prioritized by either body. At the August 8, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission Work Session, the commission further discussed the topics and came to a consensus on the priority in which staff should initiate them. At the August 15, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting, the Commission approved a motion to forward this memo to recommend that the Assembly direct staff to initiate the amendments in the order listed below: 1. Amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) to clarify the Rezone and Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Designation amendment processes. 2. Amendment to Title 17 (Zoning) to add a new chapter that provides development standards for a new Village/Remote Zoning District. 3. Amendment to TitleDRAFT 17 (Zoning) to add a new chapter that provides development standards for a new Road System Homestead/Agricultural District. 4. Amendments to Title 18 (Borough Real Property) to introduce specific criteria for land disposal reviews. 5. Review of Title 17 (Zoning) yard setback requirements. 6. Amendment to Title 17 (Zoning) to add a new chapter that provides development standards for Planned Unit Developments. 7. Amendments to Title 16 (Subdivision) to correct noted ambiguities and omissions. *Staff note: The above topics are in no particular order. Staff will arrange them in order based on Commissioner input at the August 8, 2018 Work Session. The revised prioritized memo will be provided for the August 15 Regular Meeting.

Memorandum

Date: May 16, 2018 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Community Development Director RE: Discussion Items for a P&Z/Assembly Joint Work Session

At its May 10, 2018 Work Session, the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) discussed a memo—dated May 1, 2018 (attached), from the Community Development Director—outlining a number of outstanding “to do” items relating to code changes in Titles 16 (Subdivision), 17 (Zoning), and 18 (Borough Real Property). This discussion was in preparation of a future Joint Work Session with the Borough Assembly. The discussion of the aforementioned memo resulted in a distilled list of six “to do” items that P&Z would like to discuss in detail with the Borough Assembly. These six items are presented below in no particular order. The associated narratives are borrowed from the original memo, with the exception of the narrative under “Rezones/FLUD Changes and Code Amendments” and the narrative under “Village/Remote Zoning Districts.” Setbacks Many of the Borough’s setback requirements have been in place for a very long time. Some setback requirements outlined in code may not be meeting the original need/intent (e.g. 50 foot front yard setback in the I-Industrial District when a lot fronts a state right-of-way). Additionally, some may be made simpler (e.g. in the PL-Public Use Lands District the side yard setback is 10% of the lot’s width or 25 feet, whichever is less). Rezones/FLUD Changes and Code Amendments Currently, the regulations governing changes to zoning districts are in the same chapter as regulations governing amendments to the language of Title 17. This creates some ambiguity about which regulations apply to which actions. Separating the two actions would create more clarity for the public and for staff. Additionally, there is currently no process in Borough Code specifically for Future Land Use Designation changes. It has been past practice to use the process identified as rezones. Future Land Use Designation changes (sometimes referred to as Comp Plan Amendments) have been an inconsistent practice in the Borough (only having been done over approximately 8 nonconsecutive years since implementation of the Borough’s zoning code in 1964). There are 3 options in moving forward with how to deal with FLUD changes: Page 249 of 267 Prioritization of the KIBC Title 16 (Subdivision), 17 New(Zoning), Business and Item 189-A (... NEW BUSINESS ITEM 9-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #7.a.

1) Stop doing them; 2) Keep doing them and develop a process to include in Borough Code; or 3) Make the FLUD change automatic with the rezoning of the property(ies) in question if the FLUD is not consistent with the new zoning. Village/Remote Zoning Districts The institution of village zoning districts was included in the Code Revision project and was well received by Borough residents, but village zoning districts have yet to be discussed since indefinite tabling of the Code Revision several years ago. Village zoning districts would allow more land use flexibility in our rural communities, where it is often more economical for multiple uses to coexist on one lot. The Commission has also expressed interest in creating additional zoning districts for remote parcels. Criteria for Title 18 Land Disposal Reviews P&Z and the Assembly have heard many Title 18 Land Disposal cases since July 2016. However, it is often difficult for staff to provide thorough, consistent analyses for these cases because there are no criteria in code that outline what makes a Borough-owned property suitable for disposal. Current code simply states, “each disposal of Borough land is subject to review by the Planning & Zoning Commission before submission to the Assembly. The Commission, by resolution, shall make a recommendation to the Assembly regarding the proposed land disposal.” Historically, the decision to dispose of or retain a parcel has been based on the general idea that the property is “surplus to the public need”. However, this terminology is not found in code and has no associated objective criteria that aid staff, P&Z, or the Assembly in determining whether a parcel is “surplus”. Planned Unit Developments Discussions on PUD regulations were started about two years ago; at the same time P&Z was discussing Accessory Dwelling Units and Residential Small Lot Subdivisions. For some time, all three topics were included on work session agendas. In order to more efficiently use their time, P&Z opted to address each ordinance consecutively rather than concurrently. Both ADUs and RSLs have been adopted by the Assembly within the last year. But, other priorities have stalled the progression of the PUD discussion. Changes to Title 16 Like Title 17, comprehensive amendments to Title 16 were tabled indefinitely several years ago. However, there are a number of sections in Title 16 that require significant changes to remove ambiguity and omissions. For example, the current code speaks to requirements specifically for sewer/water easements, but not electric easements. Also, the question of whether private or public access easements should be included in the calculation of lot area is not clearly answered by Title 16.

Memorandum

Date: May 1, 2018 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Community Development Director RE: Discussion Items for a P&Z/Assembly Joint Work Session

At its March 29, 2018 Work Session, the Borough Assembly indicated that they would like to have a Joint Work Session (JWS) with the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) in the near future to discuss priority land use and subdivision code modifications.

At its January 17, 2018 Work Session, P&Z discussed several items of interest that it would like to pursue. Those items were: • Expansion of the downtown parking exemption area • A parking study for both commercial and residential zoning districts • Reduction of residential setbacks

Over the last ~12 months Community Development Department (CDD) staff have crafted a “to do” list of items relating to code changes, which includes (in whole or in part) the items above. These items are presented below to initiate conversation for the May 9, 2018 P&Z Work Session agenda item relating to topics for discussion at a JWS with the Assembly. (These items are in no particular order.) Community Involvement in Land Use Decisions This item is a priority for the Assembly. They have asked that CDD staff begin looking for ways to modify Borough land use code and add language that outlines a process by which the Borough’s cities are given a stronger voice over land use decisions that affect their communities. Setbacks Many of the Borough’s setback requirements have been in place for a very long time. Some setback requirements outlined in code may not be meeting the original need/intent (e.g. 50 foot front yard setback in the I-Industrial District when a lot fronts a state right-of-way). Additionally, some may be made simpler (e.g. in the PL-Public Use Lands District the side yard setback is 10% of the lot’s width or 25 feet, whichever is less).

Home Occupations Home occupations are an important part of Kodiak’s economy. But, the current definition of home occupations has raised many questions in the recent past, such as how to deal with home occupations where clients/customer frequent the residence and why are basements and garages not included in the calculation for determining the amount of square footage allowable for the home business. Parking The Borough has one of the most onerous parking codes in the state in terms of actual number of spaces required for various development types. This has had significant negative impacts on local businesses and residential developments alike. At the request of the Borough Manager and Borough Mayor, an item to discuss parking was placed on an Assembly Work Session agenda in March 2018. At this meeting the consensus of the Assembly was that the off-street parking requirements of the Borough needed to be review and amended to better serve businesses and the community at-large. Signs The Borough’s sign regulations have not been updated in any way since 1992. Since then, several questions have arisen about both the interpretation of the code and the practicality of the regulations. For example, KIBC 17.180.030(D) states, “The maximum square footage of all signs for a developed lot shall not exceed 25 percent of the square footage of that building face fronting on the public street which the sign will face.” The beginning of this statement refers to multiple signs, but the end of the statement references only a single sign. So, in the case where two signs are to be placed on the building—one facing a public street, one facing a private street—how should this be calculated? Separating Rezones and Code Amendments Currently, the regulations governing changes to zoning districts are in the same chapter as regulations governing amendments to the language of Title 17. This creates some ambiguity about which regulations apply to which actions. Separating the two actions would create more clarity for the public and for staff. Village Zoning Districts The institution of village zoning districts was included in the Code Revision project and was well received by Borough residents, but village zoning districts have yet to be discussed since indefinite tabling of the Code Revision several years ago. Village zoning districts would allow more land use flexibility in our rural communities, where it is often more economical for multiple uses to coexist on one lot. Criteria for Title 18 Land Disposal Reviews P&Z and the Assembly have heard many Title 18 Land Disposal cases since July 2016. However, it is often difficult for staff to provide thorough, consistent analyses for these cases because there are no criteria in code that outline what makes a Borough-owned property suitable for disposal. Current code simply states, “each disposal of Borough land is subject to review by the Planning & Zoning Commission before submission to the Assembly. The Commission, by resolution, shall make a recommendation to the Assembly regarding the proposed land disposal.” Historically, the decision to dispose of or retain a parcel has been based on the general idea that the property is “surplus to the public need”. However, this terminology is not found in code and has no associated objective criteria that aid staff, P&Z, or the Assembly in determining whether a parcel is “surplus”.

Cemeteries on Private Property In the last few years several property owners have inquired about whether or not they’re allowed to bury human remains on private property. Cemeteries currently only show as an allowed use in the PL-Public Use Lands District. Since they are called out as a specific use in this one zoning district, per KIBC 17.15.080 they are prohibited in all others. A majority of the interest in establishing cemeteries has been from individuals who own large, remote lots where cemeteries could easily be accommodated without concern for public health or safety, but they currently are not able to engage in this use. State law is virtually silent on the establishment of cemeteries, particularly from a land use perspective, and they have left regulations to local municipalities (with the exception of a few solid waste regulations). Sex Businesses Kodiak has not had any requests to permit sex/adult-oriented businesses in the recent past. However, the Fairbanks North Star Borough had difficulties several years ago when an adult business wanted to locate directly adjacent to a residential area. The Borough found itself in a tough situation when the business became a contentious issue in the neighborhood and was forced to develop regulations quickly, while protecting the applicant’s constitutional right to due process. CDD staff would like to have regulations on the books for sex/adult-oriented business before a similar situation occurs in Kodiak. Planned Unit Developments Discussions on PUD regulations were started about two years ago; at the same time P&Z was discussing Accessory Dwelling Units and Residential Small Lot Subdivisions. For some time, all three topics were included on work session agendas. In order to more efficiently use their time, P&Z opted to address each ordinance consecutively rather than concurrently. Both ADUs and RSLs have been adopted by the Assembly within the last year. But, other priorities have stalled the progression of the PUD discussion. Accessory Buildings and Projections Into Required Yards Similar to the Borough’s existing sign regulations, code sections regulating accessory buildings and projections into required yards also have ambiguities. In the past there have been questions on what structures require zoning compliance, there are discrepancies in the code relating to the allowed height of accessory buildings, and the table for projections into required yards identifies several projections as “conditional”, but there is no identified process for receiving conditional approval. These are only a few of the issues with these two chapters of code. Changes to Title 16 Like Title 17, comprehensive amendments to Title 16 were tabled indefinitely several years ago. However, there are a number of sections in Title 16 that require significant changes to remove ambiguity and omissions. For example, the current code speaks to requirements specifically for sewer/water easements, but not electric easements. Also, the question of whether private or public access easements should be included in the calculation of lot area is not clearly answered by Title 16. Setbacks from Anadromous Streams This item was briefly brought before the P&Z at a work session several months ago. It was tabled at that time. But, staff wanted to include it in this memo to get an idea of where this item ranked in priority relative to other land use code issues. Currently, there is a requirement in the C-Conservation District for development to be set back 50 feet from the bank vegetation of an anadromous stream. This requirement only appears in a single zoning district. This raises a

Page 253 of 267 Prioritization of the KIBC Title 16 (Subdivision), 17 New(Zoning), Business and Item 189-A (... NEW BUSINESS ITEM 9-A P&Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 15, 2018 AGENDA ITEM #7.a.

question about the importance or perceive importance of anadromous streams in all other zoning districts. Issues of enforceability also exist. Amnesty/Grandfather Rights The most recent ordinance grandfathering properties/uses was adopted June 5, 1980, concurrently with the Borough’s initial enactment of what is now KIBC 17.210 (Enforcement, Penalties, and Remedies). Once the Borough begins making changes to its code enforcement system, it is likely that a similar ordinance will need to be adopted.

Several land use-related items have come up at the Assembly level as well. These are presented below. (These items are in no particular order.) Administrative Variances Administrative variances have been brought up several times at Assembly meetings as one possible solution to streamline land use processes for Borough property owners. Administrative variances are fairly common and give authority to the Community Development Director to grant a variance (usually somewhere between 25-50% of the numeric requirement or less) without approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, provided that the variance approval criteria have been satisfied. Conditional Rezones Though the Borough’s code allows for the conditioning of conditional use permits and variances, it does not currently explicitly allow for the conditioning of rezones. Though not widely practiced, there are some municipalities in the state of Alaska that allow such conditioning. This concept has been brought up at Assembly meetings as a proposed way to provide additional safeguards to surrounding property owners when rezones are approved. Code Enforcement/UMOT In 2017 the Assembly requested a presentation from CDD staff about the Borough’s program for junk and abandoned vehicles. At the meeting, the conversation was broadened to a discussion about the Borough’s code enforcement system. At this meeting, the Assembly gave staff permission to begin working with the Borough’s attorney, researching the State of Alaska’s UMOT System and other code enforcement methods across the state. In April 2018, the Borough’s legal counsel gave a presentation on the State’s UMOT System and what would be required of the Borough to fully implement this system. It was agreed upon by the Assembly that CDD and the Borough Attorney should pursue the implementation of the UMOT System for minor infractions that have already been adopted in a UMOT-compliant way.
