It is my judgemen~ that the previous municipal decision changing the zoning from unrestricted to R-6 on the small lots within the subdivision 'significantly reduced their value for a number of reasons. 1. Their present configuration as non-conforming lots in the R-6 zone create problems in both long term and construction financing availibility. 2. This is further complicated by forth coming changes in the land use permit criteria where in on site well and septic systems must be installed. This new requirement specifically requires'alternate drain field sites in the event of spetic failure. Based on my knowledge o~ problems experienced by other builders getting acceptable perk tests on lots situated immediately behind these it is extremely doubtful they will meet the new criteria. 3o It is also possible that above ground systems could effect the wells in the area due to the high water table° &. As frontage property at a key intersection with a high volume of traffic, the lots hold a high value for neighborhood business development and a corrosponding negative value as rural home sites for the same reason. 5. The entire area directly across the Old Glenn Highway is zoned B-3 and plans are currently being developed for'a neighborhood business complex. It is my professional opinion that the frontage lots in Henkins Subdivision should be zoned B-1 or B-3 thereby compensating the owners for the high costs which will be associated with development. It is also my contention that a regulated land use should not have been imposed in the first place which imposed a non conforming stigma and no viable alternatives for the present owners to project their significant property investments. ATTACHMENT "A" SUBJECT PROPERTIES are non-conforming in size to the current R-6 zoning. Each lot is approximately one-half (1/2) acre in area. Current conventional financing institutions generally do not finance improvements on non-conforming lots. (See attached letters from local banks.) Lots One (1) and Two (2), Block One (1), Henkins Subdivision are already zoned B-3 and are being utilized as a mini-storage business called "U-DO" and this makes the subject R-6 lots far less suitable for residential living and improvements. (See attached letters from real estate companies.) The land directly on the west side of the Old Glenn Highway and that of the Petitioner's area on the east side of the Old Glenn Highway, as well as the land directly to the north is already zoned B-3 and/or B-3(SL) . Chugiak Texaco Service Station, Body Shop and Garage, Grayling Boat Works, a gravel pit, a mobile home court and U-DO Mini-Storage. The ?etition- er's area would then be part of a contiguous cluster business area providing the surrounding residential area with convenience for shopping and provision of services. In the past three years the surrounding area has grown 88%, the Old Glenn Highway upon which the petitioned property abuts, is slated to be expanded from a two to either a three or four lane street because of the increased traffic flow. The area is fast becoming a major business area making the area abutting this section of the Old Glenn Highway far less desir- able for residential use because of both traffic and noise levels. The physical location of these properties, if rezoned from R-6 to B-3(SL) would provide convenient locations for meeting the local residents' needs and convenience. (See map and photos attached.) February 11, 1985 To Whom it May Concern: Mr. Forest E. Burlew, SR 1, Box 1014, Chugiak, Alaska 99567 has asked me to cou~L~en~ on what effect a recent zoning action has had on the market value an~ marketability of his lots. It is my understanding that he owns lots 5,6 & 7 block 1 Henkins Subdivision. These lots have frontage on the east side of the Old Glenn Highway and are directly across the street from the Texaco gasolin~ station and garage and the Grayling Boat Works on the west side° To the north just two lots from Mr. 5uriew's lots and on the same side of the street, is a Mini Storage business° It is also my understanding that Mr. Burlew has operated a business from this location for the last 13 years. Prior to the recent zoing action, the property was zoned unrestricnedo Recently, all the property directly across the street on the wes~ and the Mini Storage business property on the east side of the street was zoned B3, while the Henkins lots on the east side of the street inc!udiag those belongiag to Mr. Burlew were zoned R-6. This R-6 zoning calls for residential lots of a ninium size of 1 1/4 acre. Since all of the Henkins lots are cf approximately 1/2 acre, the z~ning automatically makes them non-conformi~g with the requiremenns of Title 21~ In addition, i~ also makes his business non-conforming, since the proper zoning for the business should be BI or B3~ The effect of ~his zoning on the market value and the marketabilit7 of Mr~ Burlew's lots has aot been good. The boat manufacturing, garage a~d gasoline station across the street dees non make it a desirable residennial area. The R-6 zoning will not allow him to expand, develop or enlarge his buisiness which has been in operation for 13 years. Either way, his property is of less value thaa when it was zoned unrestricted° If he should have t~ sell now for some compelling reason, his property would be difficult to market and would aot have the value that it had previously° in my opinion, it should have been zoned the same as the property across the street, which was B3. ~"~.~4 1~of engle river, inc. post office box 772849 eagle river, alaska 99577 I currently hold no business or financial interests in any of the properties in Henkins Subdivision. I do have an ownership interest in BLM Lot 35A directly across the street and would be seriously damaged by any bacterial contamination of the water table.

The current R-6 zoning does not meet the current objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan in that the intent of R-6 zoning states: "The R-6 district is intended for those land areas where large lots or acreage development is desirable as an adjunct to more typical urban and suburban residential zoning districts. The R-6 district is designed to encourage low density residential developments, while at the same time protecting and enhancing those physical and environmental features which add to the desirability of suburban residential living." These lots fail to meet the customary area requirements for R-6 zoning under the current zoning guidelines and granting of the request for rezoning would eliminate a deviation from the Comprehensive Plan. ATTACHMENT "B" B-3(SL) would be more conducive and beneficial for property abutting highway frontage for this particular location given the increased traffic flow. B-3(SL) would impact posi- tively on the other properties in the area by restricting hazardous uses, yet providing a service area for goods and services supporting the living needs of the surrounding residen- tial neighborhoods. ALASKA MUTUAL BANK Eagle River Branch P.O. Box 771068 ~ Eagle River, Alaska 99577 April 197 1985 Forest E. Burlew St. R~ 1, Box 1014 Chugiak, Alaska 99567 Mr. Burlew, Alaska Mutual Banks loan policy would restrict the bank from extending credit on properties which were determined to be non- conforming. It is the banks policy to finance only those'projects which can then be sold to a secondary investor° -Any property which is judged to be non-conforming would create a situation that is virtually impossible to finance under such a policy. It appears that your property under the current zoning is not able to realize its "highest and best use"° At such time as the zoning classification of the property is determined to be conforming, financing could then be considered. Vice President ATTACHMENT "D" The subject properties are already surrounded on the west, southwest and the north by B-3 or B-3(SL) zoned prop- erties. Most of the other land in the area is already zoned R-6 and does not abut the Old Glenn Highway and is more suitable for urban residential living, in opposition to that of the peti- tioned area. Furthermore, the petitioned area if rezoned would be part of a clustered commercial area of mixed B-3 and B-3(SL) properties, thus the public need would be better served by affording logical, commercial expansion to support the area's residential needs by not causing strip development which would be antithetical to the surrounding residents and not cause the need to rezone other residential lots in the area that meet R-6 classifications for zoning in every regard. As stated previous- ly, the current R-6 zoning is inappropriate because of the size of the lots in the petitioned area, each being approximately 1/2 acre in area, in opposition to normal R-6 area requirements of 1 1/4 acres. By providing a natural growth buffer a B-3(SL) classification would upgrade the visual esthetics of the sur- rounding residential neighborhoods. Planning staff analysis report on Case No. ZP82-57 page 2, paragraphs 2 and 3, dated May 24, 1982, states: Staff cannot support making Henkins Subdivi- sion, Block 1, non-conforming use and size when the area has been designated as commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. Since the original classification to R-6, many changed circumstances have occurred in the general area which necessitate more commer- cial property to support the increasing numbers of residential subdivisions in the area. Therefore the Petitioner respectfully requests that the rezoning to B-3(SL) be approved. Over 50% of the properties within a 500 foot radius do not object to rezoning the subject area. (See Petition of Non-objection to Rezoning.) 80% of the landowners in petitioned area desire rezoning from R-6 to B-3(SL). (See zoning petition and proposed B-3(SL) restrictions.) The First National Bank of Anchorage February 4, 1985 Forest E. Burlew Mile 18, Old Glenn ~wy Eagle River, Ak. 99577 Dear Mr. Burlew: In our conversation (January 31, 1985), the question was posed about the possibility of being awarded a loan for the purpose of building a single family home on a non conforming lot size. The specific facts in this case include building a single family home 6n a half acre lot (zoned R-6), a zone that traditionally requires a full 1¼ acre lot size. The home would, potentially, be built for resale. In answer to this question, the bank would not loan money' where the intent is to build a structure on a piece of pro- perty that is in non-conformance with the zoning lawso It is possible, I suppose, to get a waiver variance from the Zoning Enforcement and'Planning Department, however; this would have to be a condition met before any loan request would be considered. Sincerely, Stuart R. Adair Loan Department SRA: fr P.O. Box 548 · Eagle River, Alaska 9957%0548 .L HENKINS S~rBDIVISION, BLOCX 1, LOTS 3. THROUGH 8~ ~ The owners of the ~roperties of Henkins subdivision, Block 1, lots 3 through 8, respectively reauest that these ~ro~erties be rezoned to B-3 SL. Due to the location of the adjacent South Birchwood inter- section, rapid growth, increased traffic and noise, end B-3 proper- ties already adjacent to the frontage lots, B-3 S~ would be more conducive, beneficial and compatible to development and existing use. These oroperties are nonconforming in size,(1/2 acre each) and lots 5-6-7 are nonconformin~ in use. At the time these ~ro~erties were zoned, PIANING STAFF A~ALYSIS' REPORT ON CASE ~ ZP 82-57, page 2, oar. 2 & 3, DATED, MAY 31,1982, STATED "2TAFF CANNOT SUPPORT MAKING ~?~SE LOTS N0~(CONFORMING IN USE AND SIZE, WHEN THE COMPREHE~ISIVE PLAN DESIGNATED THE BREA CO~2~RCIA~''. With careful consideration of the adjacent prooerties and an ex- olanation of our desires to protect their neighborhood, environment or life style, the adjacent property owners have exoressed the know- !e~e, that the HIG~AY FRONTAGE PROPERTIES ~RE NOT A ~ESiRABLE LOCATION FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. Therefore, they here no objection to B-3 SL, as one can see by the number of signatures we have in supnort. I, F.E. Burlew was told by my assembi~an, Gerry O'Connor, in 1981, that these orooerties would be zoned business, as the Comprehens£ve Plan had be~n approved by the Assembly and as soon as it came up t.hrou~h the area wide zoninE, it would be zoned commercis!, of course he couldn't forsee any oroblems that would prevent it From being zoned commercial and we couldn't either. Lots 1 & 2, the U-Do Mini Storage is ~resentlv zoned B-3 ~ d the owners s_re very much in support of our reauest for the B-3 zoning. The physical location of these vro~erties is in very close ~rox- imity of existing B-3 commercial developments, Chugiak Texaco Service Station with a body shop and garage, Grayling Boat ~*forks, a ~rave! mit and a Mobile Home Court are directly across the road. With the recuested rezoning there would not be a oroblem with undesirable activity on these properties, as B-3 SL, anp deve!o~ment would be strictly controled under the zoning codes and reCuiations of the Municipality.

'~'~ know there was a tremendous amount of work and study involved when the Municipality formulated the Comprehensive Plan and that it ~-~'~ DESIRE TO CONSIDER FUTURE GROWTH AND DEV'EL- was the ~,~.':~-~ ~ OPM~NT. We believe having a vision o£ our area's future and the needs of our community and the facts stated in this petition, you will agree that the request for B-3 SL is justifiable for these frontage !$ts. Once a~ain ~e resmectably reeuest that our rezoning to B-$ St. be approved. I, Maryann C. Yoakum, owner of lot 8, Block l, Henkins Subdivision, Reeuest that my property be rezoned to B-3 SL. The prooerty directly across the road, Grayling Boat Works, Texaco Gas Station, body shop, and Garage, a Gravel Pit and a Mobile Home Court, is zoned $-~, as is the property directly to the north of me, the U-Do Mini ~torage and Fergusons Subdivision, lot 4. I feel keeping B-3 in a block sized area would be to the community a value. From all the information I've been able to gather, R-6 is nonconforming. My lot size is one half acre, as I believe all the the others are, alsQ. Even if B.L.M. grants the Highway Frontage to present day owners the lot size would only be, three fourths an acre or less, which still does not conform with R-6. When you consider Block 1, of Henkins Subdivision is already zoned part B-3, and part R-6, I firmly believe you will see the CONFUSION that's already been cre~ted! Once again, I sincerely reeuest that my property be rezoned to B-~ SL, which would therefore conform to the Eagle River- Chugiak Comprehensive Plan.
