OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

Jennifer Abbott, John Shank, and Virginia Shank ("Owners") appeal a superior court award of attorney's fees to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly ("Assembly") arising out of a zoning controversy. Owners argue that the superior court erroneously decided that they are not public interest litigants. Owners also argue that the attorney's fees were excessive, unnecessary, and based on duplicated services.
