Phillip Oates, City Manager ~K.V
From:
Donna Glenz, Planning Assistant
Agenda Item:
Amending the Land Use Plan and rezoning of Lots
1-9, Block 8, Original Townsite of Seward, from
Auto Commercial (AC) to Central Business District (CBD)
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: 03
Attached for City Council review and adoption is Ordinance 2007~amending the Land Use Plan
and Rezone of Lots 1-9, Block 8, Original Townsite of Seward, from Auto Commercial (AC) to
Central Business District (CBD) (see attached maps).
In 2006, the City purchased six lots on the West side of Sixth Avenue, Lots 1-6, Block 8, Original
Townsite of Seward (OTS) in preparation for the development of a community library/museum.
These six (6) lots are currently zoned Auto Commercial (AC). The property owners of Lots 7-9,
located to the south of Lots 1-6, requested to be included in the rezone application. These three (3)
lots are also currently zoned Auto Commercial (AC).
The current use on Lots 1-6, Block 8, OTS is a commercial building used as a second hand store on
Lot I and an unoccupied single family home on lots 2-6. Lots 7-9 are developed with single family
homes and with an established Bed and Breakfast business on Lots 7 & 8.
The current zoning of the lots to the West are Central Business District (CBD) and the lots to North,
South and East are Auto Commercial (Ae). The current uses on the lots to the West consist of the
current Seward City Library, an apartment building and a single family home. The uses to the South
are an established lodge and commercial use buildings. The uses to the East are an established Bed
and Breakfast business and a single family home. The use to the North is an auto commercial garage
and shop.
Each of the nine (9) lots being considered for rezone is approximately 30 feet by 100 feet, each at
approximately 3,000 square feet The total land area of the requested rezone is approximately 27,000
square feet, which is slightly less than 2/3 of an acre. The land area meets the minimum size
required for a rezone request, as per see 15. OJ. 035, Amendments, (b) (3) "Except for an ordinance
altering the boundaries of existing, contiguous zoning districts or an ordinance which brings a
parcel into conformance with the land use plan, no ordinance altering zoning within the city shall be
considered if the area encompassed by the proposed ordinance contains less than one acre, not
including street or alley right-of-ways." The area requested in this zoning change is contiguous to
.~

SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2007-3
PAGE 2 OF 3
the Central Business Zoning District by the lots directly to the West.
In order for the lots to be rezoned, the underlying Land Use Plan will also have to be amended. The
Land Use Plan adopted with the 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan recommends this area become
zoned Office Residential (OR).
see 15.0~i.025. Land use districts-Established, defmitioDs
a) Established. The city is hereby divided into land use districts which shall be bounded and defined
as shown on the official land use map. This official map, together with all explanatory mailer
thereon. as exhibited at the time of public hearing, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be
a part of this chapter.
The current zoning of the area requested for rezone is Auto Commercial (AC) defined in SCC
915.05.025 (b) (8) as: Intended to provide areas to accommodate highway oriented commercial
activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses
requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and
nearby residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas.
The requested zoning change of the area for rezone is Central Business District (CBD) defined in
SCC 915.05.025 (b) (9) Provides for an area of convenient, attractive, concentrated commercial
development primarily intended for retail, financial, entertainment and proftssional services
occurring within enclosed structures. Regulations applying to this zone are designed to encourage a
compact group of businesses of the type, which are mutually beneficial and located close enough
together to encourage walk-in trade. No off-street parking or setbacks are required in the CBD.
The Land Use Map, as adopted by the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. designates the area requested for
rezone as Office Residential (OR) defined in SCC 915.05.025 (b) (6) as: Intended to provide for
medium density residential, commercial and office development designed to act as a transition zone
between the high density central business district and surrounding medium-high density residential
districts. .--
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this Resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Recognizing the primary concern of all zoning actions is to promote public health, safety and general
welfare (SCC 915.01.010), Community Development recommends this rezone for several reasons:
1. This rezone will allow for the maximum use of the property currently planned for the
community library/museum.
There are limitations involved with attempting to prioritize community needs and desires
,,-,, 12

RESOLUTION 2007-3

2. with the land use needs for single family homes verses other activities. At this time the
area has a very limited selection of land available for the community library/museum
facility, whereas more options of land are available for single family homes.
3. Both the 2020 Comprehensive Plan and the 1999 Strategic Plan support the construction
of a new library/museum facility of the community.
4. Changing tile zoning to Central Business is generally consistent with land use goals in
both the Comprehensive and Strategic Plans.
No objections or concerns were expressed from City staff other than providing information on the
overhead electric lines running along the alley on the West property edge. A utility easement of ten
(10) feet and fifteen (15) feet at the pole will be required at the time ofreplat.
A public Planning and Zoning Work Session was held on April 17 ,2007 where several members of
the public voice support for the rezone and the community library/museum project At the time of
this review staff has received several public verbal comments and two written letters from
neighboring.property owners, all in support of the rezone. Staff has received no objections to the
rezone at the time of this review.
As required by the Seward City Code ~ 15.0 1.040 (2), neighboring property owners within 300 feet of
the area subject to review were notified of the proposed rezone and amendment to the Land Use Plan
prior to the public hearings held by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission on May 15 and
June 5, 2007. The Commission unanimously approved Resolutions 2007-09 and 2007-11
recommending City Council approval of attached Ordinance 2oo7-xx, amending the Land Use Plan
and Rezoning of Lots 1-9, Block 8, Original Townsite of Seward, from Auto Commercial (AC) to

Agenda Item:
Amending the Land Use Plan and rezone 27.5
acres in the North Forest Acres area from Institutional
(INS) to Rural Residential (RR) and Resource
Management (RM)
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for City Council review and adoption is Ordinance 2007-XX amending the Land Use
Plan and rezone Lots 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,20,21, CP1, cn, COl, CG2, BC1, BC2, BDl, and
BD2, Forest Acres, Afognak Addition; and Lots AZ, AY, BA, AX, CH, CI, CJ, CO, and CN
Forest Acres Subdivision from Institutional (INS) to Rural Residential (RR) (24 parcels); and
Tract A, Forest Acres, Afognak Addition and Lots CM, CL, CK, A W, and A V From Institutional
(INS) To Resource Management (RM) (6 parcels). (see attached maps).
On October 9, 2006 by Ordinance 2006-11 the Seward City Council amended the Land Use Plan
and rezoned the approximate 27.5 acre area then knOWD as Forest Acres Tract A, Long Term
Care Preliminary Replat from Rural Residential (RR) and Resource Management (RM) to
Institutional (INS) in preparation for the community's new Long Term Care Facility (Facility).
This area is no longer being considered as a development site for the Facility and therefore the
property OWDer bas requested the Zoning and Land Use Plan be returned to the previous
designations.
The area requested for rezone contains approximately 27.5 acres and is subdivided into thirty
(30) individual lots. Rural Residential zoning borders this area to the South and East while the
area is boarder to the West and North by Resource Management zoning. Rural Residential areas
to the South and East are designed for larger lots and single-family homes. Resource
Management areas to the North and West are generally large undeveloped areas with no public
services or utilities.
The Seward City Code ~15.05.025 defines:
Rural residential district (RR) Intended to provide for stable. quiet, low density (one or two
dwelling units per acre) detached single-family residential development. free from other uses
except those which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district including
recreational. religious and educational facilities of an appropriate scale and design
complementary to the neighborhood character.
Resource management district (RM) Lands which are generally undeveloped and cannot be
precisely zoned due to inadequate information on the extension of public services and utilities;
22
the suitability of the land to support commercial, residential, industrial or public uses; and other
possible environmental consideration.
Recognizing the primary concern of all land use regulatory actions including zoning, is to
promote public health, safety, and general welfare, as per SCC 15.01.010, Community
Development and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends this rezone for several
reasons:
1. This rezone will return twenty four (24) individual lots to Rural Residential zoning
which will encourage low-density development in a quiet rural setting, a development
option which is limited in City limits.
2. Rural Residential zoning requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft. For point of
reference, an acre has 43,560 sq. ft.
3. The opportunity to have livestock, particularly horses, is an attractive option for
people and has initiated rezones to Rural Residential over the years in Forest Acres
Subdivision. The Code has restrictions on livestock which prevent them from
becoming a nuisance to neighboring property owners.
4. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan and the 1999 Strategic Plan encourage development of
new housing in Seward.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
As required by the Seward City Code ~15.01.040 (2), neighboring property owners within 300
feet of the area and in addition allloca1 property OWDers who use the Forest Acres road network
were notified of the proposed rezone and Land Use Map amendment, in order to provide more
opportunity for public involvement, and the property was posted with public notice signs prior to
the public hearing held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 19, 2007. The
Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2007-13 recommending City Council approval
of attached Ordinance 2oo7-xx., amending the Land Use Plan and Rezoning of 27.5 acres in the
North Forest Acres area from Institutional (INS) to Rural Residential (RR) and Resource
Management (RM).

From:
Agenda Item:
City Council appropriate an additional $254,000 for the site re-design of
the Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) and $330,000 for on-site
construction management services to Architects Alaska's contract
regarding the new L TCF site located on the Unsubdivided Remainder of
U.S.S 1864 which is west and adjacent to the Seward Middle School.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
In early 200S, the City of Seward began considering potential sites for a new LongTerm Care
Facility (LTCF) in Seward. On July 13, 200S, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-65,
authorizing the use of Lots llA and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision #1 as the site for the
new LTCF. On November 28, 200S, the City Council approved resolution 2005-131
establishlng a contract with Architects Alaska as the L TCF design firm.
The design for the project officially began on December 5, 2005. Detailed site analysis was
conducted and included two extensive geotechnical analyses, wetlands studies, a phase 1
environmental assessment, flood hazard analysis and site and facility design. As a result of the
studies, it was determined that the L TCF would be better suited elsewhere due to the high cost
involved to off-set deficient natural soil characteristics as well as overcoming the cost of
elevating the site above the floodplain.
On March 31,2006, Afognak Construction & Excavating, Inc. offered approximately 27.5 acres
for sale to the City in and near Forest Acres.
Architects Alaska's design contract was upgraded through Resolution 2006-77 to continue their
site study and L TCF design efforts on the new North Forest Acres site.
In October 2006, flooding significantly damaged the Japp Creek levy adjacent to the new L TCF
site. As a result of the flood, building the LTCF on the Forest Acres site became problematic.
The City Council decided to go forward and acquire a new site for the L TCF.
On June 25, 2007, through Resolution 2007- 60 Council started the process of purchasing -9.11
acres of the unsubdivided remainder ofU.S.S. 1864 which is west and adjacent to the Seward
Middle School.
Although the facility design of the five L TCF structures is complete, the gotechnical work,
surveying and site design must be re-worked for the new site. Architects Alaska's work will
also include the Conditional Use Permit process and any re-platting efforts through the planning
and zoning process, including any Kenai Peninsula Borough approvals.

RESOLUTION 2007- 01""
PAGE 2 of2
Also included in this resolution is for Architects Alaska to provide the detailed on-site
construction management services required for a project of this magnitude. This service entails
procurement, construction over-site, general inspections, scheduling, construction lldministration
and other similar tasks. The construction manager will be on-site for the duration of the project,
(18 months), ensuring that the City's best interests are met. The fee for construction management
services is $330,000, all per diem expenses included.
Staff is requesting City Council to appropriate an additional $584,000 to Architects Alaska's
contract for the site re-design and for on-site construction management services regarding the .
new LTC site west and adjacent to the Seward Middle School. This will bring Architects
Alaska's total contract price to $1,876,200.
Note: Per the original contract the City has the right to terminate the contract without penalties at
anytime. The City will exercise this right if the land acquisition of the Unsubdivided remainder of
U.S.S. 1864 does not take place.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE
Funding for this cost will be paid from bond proceeds to be issued for construction of the L TCF
and construction management costs were anticipated within the scope of the overall project
budget.

Attention:
Mr. Tom Shepard
Project Coordinator
Dear Tom:
As requested we have prepared a fee proposal to conduct Geo-technical services and the necessaiy design
services for the new site being considered for the Seward Long Term Care Facility. The following is a brief
scope of services and associated fee.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The new site being considered for the facility is a site roughly described as 8 acres directly west of the
current Seward Middle School property.
Off-Site Goo-technical InvestigatiOll:
Perform a geo-technical investigation to provide recommendations for design of planned City of Seward
roadway upgrades. The upgrades will serve as infrastructure for the planned Long Term Care Facility
(LTCF) and other future development in the area. The project will extend Hemlock Street, west from Cedar
Street to Oak Street, turning south, at the Oak Street intersection, through the utility easement to the
proposed LTCF site. The geo-technical program is limited to the portion of the proposed Hemlock Street
improvements (approximately 770 feet) from Cedar Street to Oak Street We propose to drill and log three
borings to a depth of 15' in the roadway right of way. Each boring will be sampled at 5-foot intervals, with
laboratory tests for soil properties being conducted on selected samples. A geo-technical report will be
prepared showing test boring logs, and providing recommendations for design of the street structural
section.
The fee is based on performing the fieldwork under a separate mobilization from the on-site geo-technical
investigation. We assume the test boring will be staked by CRW Engineering Group, prior to drilling, to
accurately locate the boring and establish the ground elevation. We will coordinate with the City of Seward
to obtain utility locates prior to drilling.
We will issue a surnmaiy letter of findings that presents our preliminary geo-technical investigation
recommendation within seven days after the fieldwork is completed. A formal report will be provided
within 2 weeks after the laboratory tests are completed.
On-Sit e Geo-technical Investigation:
The final investigation will be used for design of the facilities and will consist of 4 borings to 30 feet and 4
borings to 15 feet. The fieldwork for the final investigation can begin within one to two weeks after the
facility footprint and location has been identified. A geo-technical report will be provided including
recommendations for foundation and pavement designs. The report will be submitted within three to four
weeks after the final fieldwork and laboratory testing is complete.

Re-PlatlOn-Site Survey:
Sentec will provide surveying services to replat the property. The scope of work includes preparing a
preliminary subdivision plat, obtaining the City of Seward Planning and Zoning approval, Kenai Peninsula
Borough Planning Commission approval, field surveying required to establish the new property comers,
and preparation/recordation of the final subdivision plat. The platting services include attending public
meetings required to gain approval of the replat - one meeting for obtaining City of Seward approval, and
one meeting for obtaining Kenai Peninsula Borough approval. The fee is exclusive of state filing fees,
certificate of plat preparation and KPB plat submittal fees. At this time the number of final Tracts bas not
been established. We have assumed the various lots/parcels will be combined into three new tracts, one for
the LTCF, one for the Seward Middle School and remaining undeveloped parcels.
Planning and Zoning ApplicationIHearing:
The design team will provide engineering support services to obtain City of Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission approval of the L TCF design. The design team will assist in preparation of the application
documentation and will attend public meetings (assume I required) to gain approval of the project through
the City of Seward review process. The City of Seward Planning Department will be responsible for
presenting the project to the Conunission and will take the lead role in gaining approvals. We will provide
assistance related to the civil engineering aspects of the project.
Conditional Use AppllcationIHearing:
Architects Alaska will assist the City of Seward in presenting the proposed site development to the P&Z
Commission for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The scope of services shall include providing
documentation of the site development and attend a preliminary P&Z work session and a public bearing (2
separate meetings). All permit fees required shall be paid by the City of Seward
New Off-8ite Street Design:
Provide design services for the new planned City of Seward roadway upgrades. The upgrades will serve as
infrastructure for the planned Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) and other future development in the area.
The project will extend Hemlock Street, west from Cedar Street to Oak Street, twning south, at the Oak
Street intersection, through the utility easement to the proposed LTCF site. The design shall consist of
regarding and leveling course of a new road base (to be designed by CRW Engineering) and the design of
new asphalt topping.
New Site Adaptation Design:
General:
The scope of services shall include the efforts required for the new site design and slight modifications to
the commons building and Green House design. It is anticipated that the current design for the Commons
Building and Green Houses can be utilized mostly in their entirety for the new site configuration. The
scope includes design efforts through 100"10 design completion.
Conceot Desil[ll:
The design team will assist in evaluating vehicular,pedestrian and utility access to the site for the use of the
Seward Long Term Care Facility. The design team will conduct a design charette to explore and develop
multiple site concept ideas. The appropriate Site Concepts will be presented to the Seward LTC Steering
Committee for consideration. The selected concept will be further developed and presented to the Seward
City Council upon request. Incorporating comments from the City Council Members a final Site Concept
will be developed. which will be the basis of the Site Development Design Documents.
Civil Desim:
EEl will provide civil engineering design services for the Long Term Care Facility. Civil design to include
access drives and paved parking, sidewalks, fencing, site signage, grading and drainage, and on-site wet
(water, sewer, and stonn) utility services. All off-site infrastructure (gravel road base, water, sewer and

Oates held a public meeting last Friday to discuss reasons for the change in direction about
site selection for the Long-Term Care Facility. Most public concerns were of access. He explained
the lengthy process for approval, the certificate of need taking 15 months, the bond process and two
complicating factors of expensive land surveys and stabilization on the original city-owned site. The
second site in north Forest Acres (Schafer property) was made problematic after the October 2006
flood. The levy was damaged and FEMA wanted it certified or elevated above flood level. This
FEMA assessment took 5 months. Meanwhile, Hurricane Katrina made it almost impossible to
certify levees and the purchase agreement with the Schafer's had expire. With these new
developments the city revisited the issue and had three courses of action. ify the levy, 2)
elevate the site, or 3) consider a new site. Oates found the levy coul fix but the federal
government would not certify it, elevating the site would require more to re-design, thus the
city was back to considering a new site. Safety, suitability, cost ere the four factors
looked at.
Oates stated other factors were investigated such as'

be postponed until homeowners could be better informed.
Peggy Ventura, was speechless and bought property in the area because of the residential
neighborhood. She never expected to have huge trucks driving on those streets. Ventura wanted the
routes carefully considered because of the icy roads. She thought a direct route on Sea Lion would
be best. She thought this was a good choice for the Long-Term Care Facility but not for the people
that lived in the area.

Schafer also felt too much of the process was conducted in executive session. He thought
Sea Lion was not an option, but down Oak and Hemlock would cost more money to build. He
agreed there needed to be a work session on access. Schafer mentioned a substantial cut would have
to be made through the hills for the sewer line and thought this needed more work before decisions
could be made.

Dunham agreed partially about access, but disagreed not to move with the purchase. He
noted the city was now two years behind schedule. He understood the residents concerns about
traffic and wanted views discussed and time spent on working out the access.
Amberg agreed with Dunham to proceed with purchase but public comments were needed for
access. She felt employee and service traffic should not be much and thought by working with the
school district a lot could be accomplished to make it safer for students.
