City council will take another shot at approving new, revised rules for construction camps and subdivisions at their meeting tonight.

Council asked the planning department to overhaul the proposed zoning changes back in July. Now, they’ll consider them in three separate ordinances.

One covers the areas council hasn’t had major concerns about. It includes new guidelines for planned unit developments, building separations and application deadlines.

The second ordinance would create new rules for construction camps -- or “crew camps,” as the city now wants to calling them. The latest version of the rules requires that camps to be tied to a specific project, and taken down once it’s done. And no camp could exist for longer than five years.

The last zoning ordinance covers requirements for subdividing property -- including when and how a landowner should establish a new lot in renting out part of their property. The latest version of the language ties subdivisions specifically to lots where new structures will require utility extensions. That reflects concerns from landowners like the Ounalashka Corporation about having to pay to subdivide for minor projects that don’t need utilities.

Also tonight, council will vote on leasing about three acres of tidelands to OC. The tidelands are on the back side of Little South America, around the point from the Carl E. Moses Boat Harbor. The lease is for 30 years, at a rate of about $5,000 a year. In a memo to council, planning director Erin Reinders says OC will use the area to build “a barge loading facility, open cell sheet pile dock, and an industrial complex.”

Council will also vote to renew TelAlaska’s 20-year lease on the land where their antenna stands on top of Haystack Hill. The company currently pays $900 a month for a 19,000-square foot parcel.

Council will also weigh a few appointments tonight, including Horizon Lines gatehouse manager James Santana as a new planning and zoning and historic preservation commissioner. He’d fill the last open seat on those boards.

City council had wanted to tackle affordable housing at tonight’s meeting, but city manager Chris Hladick says his staff isn’t ready. The issue dominated discussion at KUCB’s Candidates Forum last week. The show will re-air on Channel 8 tonight at 7 p.m., and this weekend.

Hladick says he’ll call a special council meeting sometime in the next couple of weeks to take up how to create new housing for city employees -- and the rest of the town’s growing population. He says he wants to talk about the possibility of a new city-owned complex like the 8plex. And he wants council to brainstorm how to encourage others to build housing, too. That special meeting hasn’t been scheduled yet.

Tonight, council will also convene into an annual meeting of the Unalaska Crab Cooperative. They’ll be voting on renewing their Regional Landing Requirement Framework for a second year. It governs which quota-holders are signed on to deliver crab to local processors, and sets exemptions for when companies would be allowed to miss deliveries -- like in case of ice or bad weather.

The agreement includes a new community crab organization this year -- the Aleutians East Borough’s Aleutia group, which did not sign on to Unalaska’s landing framework in 2013. City natural resources analyst Frank Kelty says that wasn’t a problem for the group last year, since fishermen didn’t have major problems with sea ice. But he says it’ll help Aleutia deliver closer to home this season if they’re ever kept away from Dutch Harbor.

City council and the crab co-op will meet at City Hall at 6 p.m.
