Through: Ron Long, Community Development Directory d�4st�P From: Donna Glenz, Planner (� Agenda Item: Amending the Land Use Plan and rezoning of City- owned Lot 4, Fort Raymond Subdivision, located at 2001 Seward Highway, from Institutional (INS)to Auto Commercial (AC) BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation is Resolution 2015-06 recommending City Council approve the attached Ordinance 2015- , amending the Zoning designation and Land Use Plan maps for City-owned Lot 4, Fort Raymond Subdivision, located at 2001 Seward Highway, from Institutional (INS) to Auto Commercial (AC) (see attached maps). The applicant has requested this rezone in order to provide land suitable for future commercial uses allowed within the Auto Commercial District. The current use by the Seward Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is more consistent with uses normally conducted within the Auto Commercial Zoning District. Seward City Code (SCC) §15.01.035, Amendments, (b) (3) allows the consideration of this rezone as the area is contiguous to the requested Auto Commercial zoning district and also contains more than 1 acre. Parcels to the south along Seward Highway corridor, including the Coffee Cup and the Safeway store development, are currently zoned Auto Commercial. The parcels to the north and west are zoned Institutional and include school campuses, cemeteries and a military resort. The parcels to the east, across the Seward Highway are zoned Industrial and include the Leirer Subdivision and the Alaska Railroad. In order for the lot to be rezoned, the underlying Land Use Plan will also need to be amended. The Land Use Plan adopted with the 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan recommends this area remain Institutional. However the area contiguous to the south is recommended to remain Auto Commercial. SCC 15.05.025. Land use districts--Established, definitions 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 matter thereon, as exhibited at the time of public hearing, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. 8 The requested Zoning and Land Use Map change of the area for rezone is Auto Commercial (AC) defined in SCC 15.05.025 (b). as (8) 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. Recognizing that the primary concern of all zoning actions is to promote public health, safety and general welfare (SCC 15.01.010), Community Development recommends this rezone for the following reasons: 1. This rezone will allow for commercial and business use of Lot 4, Fort Raymond Subdivision, which is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Seward Chamber of Commerce. 2. At this time the community would be better served by allowing more commercial activity along the Seward Highway corridor, while creating and preserving adequate non-commercial areas outside of the highway corridor for residential development. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A Comprehensive Plan (2020, approved by Council 2005): 1 Volume I,page 27; Section 3.7.3.1_ X Promote expansion and development of local entrepreneurial businesses. (page 16) Strategic Plan (1999): 2. Promote residential and commercial development inside the City. (page X 9) At the time of this review no public concerns have been submitted to staff. As required by the City Code, 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. RECOMMENDATION: Commission approve Resolution 2015-06, recommending City Council approval of the attached Ordinance amending the zoning and Land Use Plan designation of City owned Lot 4, Fort Raymond Subdivision, located at 2001 Seward Highway, from Institutional (INS) to Auto Commercial (AC) 9 i 4 • .- , . . . , ,,, .s. ..,...,. • , ... ,„..i . ,. # ., - 0 *-4' . ...• / 06 Ak.

THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Cindy Elklund, Chair AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: VACANT: One ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) 14 P&Z Agenda Statement Meeting Date: April 7, 2015 ' of Sey,ktc-zo Through: Ron Long, Assistant City Man46, 7 4445K. From: Donna Glenz, Planner (i6.1'``Ar Agenda Item: Resolution 2015-07 recommending City Council rename Hemlock Street to Crabapple Street BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Located in the southwest area of the Forest Acres Subdivision, south of the Hemlock Avenue and Afognak Avenue intersection is an undeveloped 34 foot wide platted right of way (ROW) currently named Hemlock Street. This right of way was legally platted in 1978 but has not been completely developed. A new 600,000 gallon water tank facility is being constructed on Lot C-6 and this ROW will be used as access to the facility. Also located within the City limits of Seward is the public ROW named Hemlock Avenue, an east/west ROW between the Seward Highway and Afognak Avenue. Eliminating duplicate and sound-alike street names is a goal of the Enhanced 911 Street Naming and Addressing system; thereby enabling 911 Emergency Services to respond to emergencies in an efficient and timely manner. City Council Resolution 85-10 established a street-naming and numbering system to provide a standard approach to the naming and numbering streets within the City limits. Since the procedure was established, several roads and streets have been officially named by Council. The Crabapple Street name meets the provisions of Resolution 85-10 and the Enhanced 911 Street Naming and Addressing system. An adjoining property owner canvased the neighboring property owners for a suggested street name and in keeping with the Forest Acres tree name theme the neighbors suggested Crabapple Street. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public work session on March 17, 2015 where the suggested Crabapple Street name was discussed. No other suggestions were made and no negative comments were received. There are currently no developments utilizing Hemlock Street for addressing.

There is hereby established a uniform system for street naming and for numbering buildings fronting on all streets within the City of Seward; and, all houses, commercial buildings, and other buildings and structures shall be numbered in accordance with the following provisions: 1. Definitions: "Street" as used herein includes all publicly dedicated rights-of-way, used by vehicular and pedestrian traffic, regardless of its tag name. (i.e. avenue, road, boule- vard, etc.) 2. Street Naming: In addition to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Uniform Street Naming System, the following criteria shall be followed: (a) Choice of Names -- Names should be chosen that relate to the scale and location of the project. (1) Names should be pleasant sounding, appropriate, S easy to read (so that the public, and children in particular, can handle the name in an emergency situation) , and should enhance pride of home ownership. -1- 18 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION NO. g5-10 (2) Categories -- Large developments shall use a single significant category; and small subdi- visions should use the same category as the surrounding or adjacent area (which helps to establish locational identity) to choose street names. (3) Unacceptable Street Names -- Avoid names which are frivolous, complicated, or undesirable names; and those which include unconventional spelling and compound words. (b) Affixes -- Unnecessary affixes are to be avoided. Terms that may be utilized are: "East", "West", "North", and "South", indicated direction. 3. Designation of Street Numbers: (a) A Plat Book and Property Number Map will be main- tained for the purpose of facilitating a correct numbering system. Said book and map will show the proper numbers for all building lots fronting upon all streets within the City. Said book and map will be kept on file in City Hall by a designee of the City Manager. The book and map will be open to inspection by all interested persons during the office hours of the City of Seward.

(2) All streets running generally East and West shall be numbered from the North-South Base Line consecutively to the corporate limits or the extremity of such street. (c) Numbering Intervals, wherever possible, will be assigned as follows: 410 (1) Lots less that 6000 square feet, assign numbers per lot. -2- 19 MIL CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION NO. 85-10 (2) Lots greater that 6000 square feet, utilize a 60' number interval along N-S streets and 30' interval along E-W streets, except in those lots which, by code or covenants can not be further subdivided, then assign numbers by lot. (3) Unsubdivided parcels and tracts, utilize a 60' interval on N-S streets and 30' interval on E-W streets. (d) Numbers for each consecutive block will commence with consecutive hundreds and one. One whole number will be assigned for all lots whether improved or vacant based on the interval frontage noted in 3. (c) above. Odd numbers shall be assigned on the West side of all North-South streets, and even numbers to the East side. On East-West Streets, odd numbers shall be assigned to the South side of the street and even numbers on the North side.

(3) Structures located across lot lines use the number most nearly coincidental with the front entrance of the structure. (4) For corner lots choose either an E-W or N-S number, depending on which direction the main entrance faces. (5) Structures on partial lots fronting an alley rather than a street will be given a number as if it fronted the street with the addition of "1" (i.e. 1011) . (6) Cul-de-sacs providing street frontage for four or less lots will be numbered from the street where the cul-de-sac originates. -3- 20 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION NO. 85-10 4.

Following the public hearing,the Council amended the original resolution,downsizing the area and amount of land to the northwest area of Pat Williams Park consisting of approximately.7 acre. The Council also requested the Planning and Zoning Commission hold a public hearing on April 7,2015 to provide addition public comment time and provide a recommendation to Council on Resolution 2015-020, as amended. The recommendation within the Municipal Lands Management Plan, 2014 Update, for Tract E, Waterfront Park is the parcel to remain park. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT FROM CITY COUCIL AGENDA STATEMENT KPHI is a private non-profit corporation that has successfully developed housing projects across the Peninsula serving senior,special needs,and low income populations. KPHI's experience and history suggest that they are the most likely entity to successfully procure grant funding to develop a senior housing facility in Seward. A group of local volunteers has explored options for developing an appropriate non-income based senior living facility in Seward,and has most recently partnered with KPHI to formalize and further their effort in the development of a senior living faculty. Key to a successful grant application is a commitment of site control for the location of the proposed facility. KPHI and the local volunteers have combined efforts and looked at several sites locally,and found the northern portion of Pat Williams Park the most suitable for a senior housing unit. Preliminary seismic and geotechnical analysis by KPHI confirm the original site suitable for up to 14 units and associated land features. KPHI proposed to develop the facility in two phases,each to be a five or six unity facility. Because donating land constitutes a less than fair market value transaction,this action requires that Council find the transaction to be in the public's interest as a condition of authorizing the transfer pursuant to City Code 7.05.120 "The city council may acquire or dispose of an interest in real property by negotiation,public auction,or sealed bid."And 7.05.150,"(a)The city shall not sell any 26 real property interest without first making an appraisal of the fair market value of that interest,unless the city council finds that the public interest will not be served by an appraisal. And; (b) If an appraisal is made,the property interest shall not be disposed of for less than the appraised fair market value, unless the city council finds by resolution that public interest will be served by disposing of the property interest for less than the appraised fair market value. " Passage of this authorization confirms this finding by council. KPHI desires to do the replatting necessary to delineate the northern lot of the Park to acquire this property, and to develop the senior housing facility, all subject to grant award(s) sufficient to fund the first phase of project.The City desires to support and facilitate where feasible senior housing in the community. The entire parcel is currently used for tent camping and portable restrooms during the summer and this transfer will make approximately half (just over one quarter) of the parcel unavailable for camping. (removing three (3) camping spaces) The parcel is currently zoned as Park,and rezoning for the lot newly created through replat would be required.As a condition of transfer of title to the land,the City will require that replatting,rezoning, and proof of financing sufficient to complete Phase 1 of the development are completed to the satisfaction of the City. Floodplain status: According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, September 27, 2013, this property is located outside of any special flood hazard areas. Utilities: Sewer and electric are within the adjacent alley to the west. Water is within the B Street ROW and both water and sewer bisect Tract E with large utility easements.

(Page 25&26) ADDITIONAL HISTORY OF THE LAND Prior to the 1964 Earthquake this area was abutting the Texaco oil tank area and the Railroad yards, which were destroyed during the quake,fire and tsunami. The Geological Survey Professional Paper 542-E, prepared by the U.S Geological Survey following the 1964 earthquake states, "Fractured ground in back of the present shoreline along the Seward Waterfront is an area of incipient landslides that would be unstable under strong shaking. For this reason the Scientific and Engineering Task 28 Force placed the area in a high risk classification and recommended no repair;rehabilitation or new construction in the area involving Federal funds;it was further recommended that the area should be reserved for park or other uses that do not involve large congregations of people. Following the 1964 quake the area was became part of the Alaska State Housing Authority and was obtained by the City through that Alaska Housing Finance Corporation late 1960's Urban Renewal Plan. There is mention in correspondence of maintaining the area as open space but there is no deed restriction. The late Pat Williams was a local historian and prominent member of the community. She continued to make contributions to our community politically, professionally and historically right up to her death in late 2014. She lived for many years overlooking the area known as Pat Williams Park. In the mid 1990's she made a phone call and stopped the clear-cutting of the spruce trees in the park area. The area was never owned by Pat Williams. By Resolution 2003-073 the City Council unanimously proclaimed the park area west of Ballaine Boulevard between Monroe Street and `B" Street as Pat Williams Park. The area known as Pat Williams Park has continued to improve with gravel roadways,tent sites,water service,landscaping, fire rings, and individual camp sites and continues to be used as a tent camping area. By Resolution 2011-037 the City Council recommended the Kenai Peninsula Borough approve the Waterfront Park Replat, which included Tract E, commonly known as Pat Williams Park. ZONING AND LAND USE PLAN The area known as Pat Williams Park,Tract E,Waterfront Park,is currently zoned as Park(P). The Municipal Lands Management Plan approved with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan also calls for the area to remain Park. Public Hearing Comments: Property owners within three hundred(300)feet of Tract E,Waterfront Park Replat were notified of this special Public Hearing item. Public notice signs were posted on the property, and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code§15.01.040 Public Hearings were complied with. Community Development has received numerous phone calls and personal inquiries regarding this public hearing item. All questions were answered and all were encouraged to submit written comments and concerns to be included in the packet and/or to attend the public hearing before the Commission. All written comments received before the printing of this report have been included. Any written concerns or comments received after the publishing of this report will be provided as a lay down item at the meeting on April 7, 2015. RECOMMENDATION: The Commission approves Resolution 2015-08, recommending City Council approve Council Resolution 2015-020, donating the northwest .7 acre of Pat Williams Park for development of a senior housing facility with conditions, as amended March 23, 2015. The Commission fails Resolution 2015-08, thereby recommending City Council fail Resolution 2015-020,donating the northwest.7 acre of Pat Williams Park for development of a senior housing facility with conditions, as amended March 23, 2015. 29 Sponsored by: Hunt First Public Hearing: March 23, 2015 Second Public Hearing and Adoption: April 13, 2015 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA As Amended RESOLUTION 2015-020 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE KENAI PENINSULA HOUSING INITIATIVE (KPHI) DONATING APPROXIMATELY A 0.7 ACRE PORTION OF KPB PARCEL 14734005, KNOWN AS PAT WILLIAMS PARK FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING AN INDEPENDENT SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY UPON CONDITION OF KPHI BEING AWARDED ALL OTHER NECESSARY FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLETION WHEREAS, the lack of non-income based senior housing in Seward has been identified as a leading cause of seniors needing to leave the community in order to find adequate facilities; and WHEREAS, relocating away from family, friends, and medical and social support systems is especially traumatic for our seniors; and WHEREAS, a dedicated group of local volunteers has for years explored options for developing an appropriate non-income based senior living facility in Seward, and has most recently partnered with the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) to formalize and further their effort on behalf of the community; and WHEREAS, KPHI is a private non-profit corporation who has successfully developed housing projects across the Peninsula serving senior, special needs, and low income populations; and WHEREAS, KPHI's experience and history suggest that they are the most likely entity to successfully procure grant funding to develop a senior housing facility in Seward; and WHEREAS, key to a successful grant application is a commitment of site control for the location of the proposed facility; and WHEREAS, KPHI and the local volunteers have looked at several sites locally, and find the northern portion of Pat Williams Park the most suitable; and WHEREAS, preliminary seismic and geotechnical analysis by KPHI confirm that the site is suitable for up to 14 units and associated land features; and 30 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2015-020 WHEREAS, KPHI proposes to develop the facility in two phases; each to be a five or six-plex; and • WHEREAS, KPHI desires to do the replatting necessary to delineate the northern lot, to acquire this property, and to develop the senior housing facility, all subject to grant award(s) sufficient to fund the first phase of project; and WHEREAS, the City desires to support and facilitate where feasible senior housing in the community; and WHEREAS, the entire parcel is currently used for tent camping and portable restrooms during the summer; approximately one-quarter of the parcel would no longer be available for camping under this transfer; and WHEREAS,the parcel zone designation is currently Park, and rezoning for the lot newly created through replat would be required; and WHEREAS, donating land constitutes a less than fair market value transaction, and requires the Council to find such a transaction to be in the public's interest as a condition of authorizing the transfer; and WHEREAS, as a condition of transfer of title to the land, the City will require that replatting, rezoning, and proof of financing sufficient to complete Phase 1 of the development are completed to the satisfaction of the City.

Recommended for adoption and an additional Public Hearing on April 13, 2015) Resolution 2015-020, Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Agreement With The Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) Donating Approximately 1.8 Acres Of The Northern Portion Of KPB Parcel 14734005, Known As Pat Williams Park For The Sole Purpose Of Developing An Independent Senior Housing Facility Upon Condition Of KPHI Being Awarded All Other Necessary Funding For The Project Development And Completion. Motion (Terry/Casagranda) Introduce Resolution 2015-020 Long apologized that administration didn't have a map of that area to show the council. He stated this was a donation of land with stipulations laid out for the disposal of this property that, if not met, would require the land revert back to the city. Long stated he was asked why this matter hadn't gone to the Planning and Zoning Commission and he stated the commission had given their recommendation on this issue viat their approval of the Municipal Lands Management Plan. According to the Municipal Lands Management Plan, the recommendation was to not develop on this property. Because the council was the decision making authority on this kind of land matter, it was coming to them since the Planning and Zoning Commission already had an opinion on file. He noted the fiscal note was as estimate only. Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Steven Rouse, of the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI), said his organization had been looking to develop housing in Seward since 2007; the problem had always been land. He was recently approached by a group of citizens on the idea of senior housing in Seward and was asked for his input. Together they looked at every possible available parcel that would be large enough to accommodate one development, and found most possibilities to be too small or too cost prohibitive. Rouse said this request was patterned after a project in Soldotna. His organization looked at the possibility of the recently vacated Seward Air Force Recreation Camp, but it would be years before that land could be used for development, according to city administration. When the Pat Williams Park property was brought to his attention, he had engineers and architects evaluate the land. They determined the park would be suitable for the needs of the project. KPHI was requesting enough land to do Phase I and II of the proposed project and felt the demand for this type of housing was present. Rouse stated he could answer any questions council or the community had. At this point they were just looking for a commitment of land from the city. Rouse thanked the council for their consideration. Colleen Kelly was in favor of the housing initiative's idea in Seward, but strongly opposed the site chosen for it. Many years ago she visited Seward and camped at the proposed site. She spent money here during her visit and ultimately ended up moving here. Right now this land was dedicated as park land. Kelly was surprised to learn it was not difficult to change park zones. The area was generating revenue stream for camping. Camping fees went to city coffers and local businesses. The Parks and Recreation Department stated this area grossed $71,000 a year, including covering wages paid to those who worked for the department. The city had a lot of underutilized property not generating any revenue. The Seward Air Force 34 City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes March 23, 2015 Volume 39,Page Recreation Camp would be a good possibility, though not the preferred option. The appraised value of 1.8 acres of city-owned Pat Williams park land would likely be worth a lot of money. Senior housing might be better located closer to places like the grocery store. Kelly was worried that the plans for this project would be to take down many of the trees the late Pat Williams so diligently worked to keep, and which was the reason why the park was named after her in the first place. Melinda Maddox stated she often advocated for seniors. She supported senior housing in Seward, but did not support the location proposed tonight. In 1978, the city donated land for the Glacier View Apartments, and at the time there was a concern there wouldn't be enough seniors needing housing. The city applied for senior citizen housing development grants. She was concerned with finding the right property in Seward for expansion. This proposed site was close to the tidelands and that could be dangerous. She encouraged council to look at the Municipal Lands Management Plan, which stated retaining ownership of the Pat Williams Park as a park zone. There were 30 campsites there that brought money to the economy and a safe place to camp. The area also provided one of only three Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible sites in Seward. Maddox didn't think taking away campsites was a good idea. She stated a society was defined not only by what it created,but by what it refused to destroy. Kelly Hartz had a personal view of this as she neighbored the property. She felt that it was a little short sighted of the city to take a piece of park land and turn it into housing. Senior housing was probably necessary in Seward, but she had an issue of using the property proposed. Hartz looked up the entire parcel on the borough's website to find its value was appraised at $1.1 million. The piece the city was considering donating was more than half of that area. She also wanted to bring to council's attention of the tsunami inundation zone created in 2010 which showed three different scenarios in an event similar or less than the earthquake and tsunamis of 1964, and which demonstrated this area would likely be inundated with a tsunami wave. Hartz asked the council if this was a place they wanted to put their senior citizens. She urged people to talk to folks that were here in 1964 and ask them if that was a location to put their seniors. The other point Hartz wanted to make was this was park land, which coincided with one of Seward's major industries - tourism. Changing this area from a park zone would take away from revenue and she thought another piece of land would be better suited for the community's needs. Ron Wille questioned the fiscal note in the agenda statement for this resolution. He did not see anything in the documentation about the taxable status of the property, and he didn't know if this proposal would generate any property tax. The location was a concern for him as a resident, though he supported the idea of a senior housing project. It was a prime piece of . unobstructed waterfront realty. The appraised value didn't surprise him. He concluded by referring to a past resolution that named Pat Williams Park, stating Williams' phone call stopped the cutting of spruce trees. It was a nice area to keep park. Tim McDonald said Pat Williams used to live close to that park. He stated she was recently named citizen of the century and it seemed disrespectful to plan to develop on her park. He wondered what she would think of this. No one else appeared to address the Council and the public hearing was closed. 35 City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes March 23,2015 Volume 39,Page Terry asked if this property would be on the tax rolls if the city donated it for this use. Long said the organization has offered payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) on the property and that would be part of the transfer documents which would come in the future. By unanimous consent, council suspended the rules to allow Steven Rouse to speak on behalf of KPHI. Rouse said the rents would be taxable, although as a charitable organization they received property tax exemptions. He confirmed KPHI would be willing to entertain paying in lieu of taxes because of this. Squires asked what other properties of this size had been considered. Rouse said they looked at the Air Force Recreation Camp in addition to others, but they turned out to be too small. For Phase I, they needed a minimum of 7,000 square feet. KPHI was going to need a minimum 0.6 acres for borough approval. The proposed plat before council was a preliminary drawing. He noted Pat Williams' family supported this concept. Terry added the family also submitted a follow up letter saying they weren't opposed to other properties. Squires asked how big the city-owned land on First Avenue was that was recently taken over for tax purposes. Glenz said estimated 12,000 square feet. Rouse said it wasn't large enough. Darling asked if they looked at the Boulder Field property. Rouse said it had not been mentioned to him so he couldn't speak to the suitability of it at this time. Terry said hearing all of the community concerns, all echoed support of the project, but the location appeared to be an issue, and wondered if KPHI was willing to go back and look at other properties. She feared if not, it could kill the project. Rouse said as it stood now, in order for the project to go forward, KPHI needed to provide evidence they had site control for preliminary Alaska Housing Finance Corporation funding consideration. It was a matter of timing, but it was not impossible to review another site. Terry pointed out while this organization had been preparing for this proposal, the city was approving the Municipal Lands Management Plan which recommended keeping this property zoned as park, so put the city in a difficult position. Long clarified that administration had not been in the loop on this project for the last nine months either and had only recently been made aware. Keil said she had heard from over 100 people who reached out to council in support of this project, so there was a lot of support for the property. There were certainly enough seniors to fill this housing area. She didn't come up with the same numbers for camping revenue; she came up with much less estimations based on camping fees. Butts asked if there was a water utility on the southern portion of the area. Long didn't know. Long said at this point, administration had only looked at for this project to the extent of providing access to the nearby campers. The plan was to continue current use of the area until the entity had secured enough funding. It would be maintained as campground until they had funding in place and the criteria was met, or in five years. If KPHI couldn't meet all the criteria required in five years, the land would revert to the city. 36 City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes March 23, 2015 Volume 39,Page Butts asked if this proposal with KPHI had looked at moving the proposed buildings to have minimal impact on the trees. Rouse said their surveyors and architects worked to lessen the impact on trees, ensure access to utilities, and noted a very complete and comprehensive site plan would be done. Additionally, these properties would be landscaped and there would be site amenities and site improvements. The earliest they would know if they had funding would be by the end of this year. Rouse added that may not be the first application to get funding, as sometimes it took years to obtain funding. He hoped to notify the city by the end of the year that KPHI had secured funds. Squires asked Long if the city would need to extend any streets. Long said if this was approved and funds were obtained, these lots would need replatting then would bring the Planning and Zoning Commission into the process, but Long there was no discussion of extending any streets at this point. Squires said he had concerns based on the aforementioned tsunami inundation study. Summertime was his biggest concern because there were too many people in that area. He suggested if and when the replat came forward, the city have a second way in and out for better access in the event of evacuation. He was going to encourage extending a street to have a better buffer between campers and senior housing. Terry asked legal or administration to provide a description on how payment in lieu of taxes would be defined in perpetuity at the next meeting. Motion (Terry/Casagranda) Request that the Planning and Zoning Commission have a discussion on Resolution 2015-020 as a public hearing item on their April 7, 2015 meeting agenda and make a recommendation to council. Casagranda said this was a difficult situation because so much time and effort had already been put into this proposal,but it was important to gather more input. Glenz said notices would be mailed out to nearby property owners. Motion Approved Unanimous Bardarson had concerns with this resolution referring to both phases; she thought it should be for Phase I only at this point to avoid any possibility of any land sitting dormant. She would prefer for this to come back to council with mention of only Phase I. Regarding where the building would go, Bardarson thought it should be parallel to the Coast Guard property and against the alley, the way it was identified now. Rouse said he needed to make sure it met any and all needs of the council and borough. Bardarson said Phase I would only consume three existing campsites. Rouse felt that was a good compromise to begin with. Council mentioned the property by the hospital and perhaps the city could help purchase that land for the project. The land was where the former Wesley Rehabilitation and Care Center used to be. Rouse reiterated they were certainly here to work with the city, so he was open to all suggestions. Terry wondered if they were making payments in lieu of taxes in perpetuity, how 37 City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes March 23,2015 Volume 39,Page long would that pay out. She thought council should have as many options before them as possible. Council recessed at 9:20 p.m. Council resumed at 9:24 p.m. Motion to Amend (Terry/Keil) Amend Resolution 2015-020 by making the following changes: 1. In the title, "....DONATING APPROXIMATELY A 4:-8 0_7 ACRES OF THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE KPB PARCEL...." 2. In section one, strike the words "at least" 3.

Motion to Amend Passed Unanimous Motion to Amend (Terry/Casagranda) Amend Resolution 2015-020, in the 12th Whereas, by changing "half' to "one- quarter" of a parcel. Motion to Amend Passed Unanimous Motion to Amend (Bardarson/Keil) Amend Resolution 2015-020 by creating a new section 6 that reads, "The city would require payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) to be paid for property tax in perpetuity." and renumber the sections accordingly. Staff thought this could be dealt with at a later time. Bardarson and Keil withdrew their motion and there was no objection from council. Motion To Introduce Passed Unanimous 38 The following pages were submitted by the public to be included in the P&Z Packet and on to the City Council 39 Andrew and Julie Wilder CITY OF SEWARD Seward City Council Seward Planning 8a Zoning ,7, p/5- i al To whom it may concern: PLANNING OFFICE We are opposed to the giveaway of Pat Williams Park for the senior housing project proposed by KPHI for several reasons. Our main objection,which I will discuss here, is that Pat Williams Park is park land,an asset for the community of Seward. I think that perhaps the citizens of Seward who are for developing this piece of property mistakenly assume that only non-resident campers use this park, and only during the summer months. As citizens of Seward who live right downtown,we have used this park during the summer and the winter months for the past ten years. Both of our kids have used this park to learn to ski and ride their bikes. We've ice skated on frozen large puddles and built snowmen in the park's open spaces. We've hosted bonfires during the shoulder seasons in the park and enjoyed the wooded parkland with games of hide and seek. Our extended family from Fairbanks has used the park as a way to visit in the summer inexpensively. And we are but one family that uses the park! Think of the others in the community that use the park,and future users as well. Having the campground provides a way for people from across the country to come visit our beautiful town. How many places in Seward can a visitor with a tent find to stay?We are already limited for tent camping spaces, please don't further reduce camping spots. The city 2020 Comprehensive Plan,the Strategic Plan, and the 2014 Municipal Lands plan all state that our parklands, including Pat Williams Park, should remain parkland for perpetuity. It would be short-sighted to commit this property to benefit a handful of people instead of being available to all of the citizens of Seward, as well as a place for visitors to camp. Developing this property—even a portion of this property—with vastly change the atmosphere of the park for both family users and campers. What was once a wooded area with grassy parkland would be obstructed with houses, parking and garages. We believe that if this did happen, even those that support this project would look back with dismay at the development on what should have remained greenspace. And would older, retired residents want to live next to a sometimes noisy campground? The City of Seward owns several parcels of property that would be large enough to accommodate both phase I and 2 of a senior housing project that are not parkland.There are many landowners with parcels large enough as well. Please consider urging the local unnamed taskforce and KPHI to consider property that is not parkland. Sincerely, ,:xv. 7 City of Seward Residents / 40 CITY OF SEWARD TO: Seward Planning&Zoning Commission I` � I 6 a /02/15 Subject: Save the Pat Williams Park: PLANNING OFFICE I regret I may not make it to the scheduled meeting on April 7 to test in •ehalf of saving the Pat Williams Park. Thus,this letter will have to suffice. In response to Council Member Marianna Kiel's recent letter in the Seward City News, I offer a few counter remarks: 1. The notion the whole town is a "high risk"area: I believe there is a difference between infrastructure that can be modified and improved upon vs land that could very well slide off into the bay during another large earthquake. One can build a structure to survive a moderate flood with minimal damage. One cannot build to sustain a 20-foot tsunami wave or survive undersea. 2. Council Member Keil has made it clear in her letter she already approves the park land give- away. Why bother with Planning and Zoning hearings and public comment if the council has already made up its mind?What ever happened to the newly adopted Land Use Planning document,clearly recommending the park remain as park land? 3. Rec Camp selection would force Council Member Keil to gaze out her picture window and see only a cemetery?(Guess she's planning on getting one of the units?) Anyone who wants to believe that cemetery line need only take a little cruise by the Rec Camp. You will find large areas of undesignated land that are well out of site of the nearby cemetery. A little landscaping and building design makes this a mute point. I am sure there are other parcels of land within the city that will be made available down the road. Free land may just require a little patience. 4. Grabbing land from the Pat Williams Park will allow the developer to submit a grant proposal for this year's selection with AHFC and it needs to happen quickly: Whenever I'm pushed to make an uninformed decision just to meet some annual submittal timeline it always makes me suspicious. Why this wasn't vetted a year ago with public hearings? Will there not be another round of Senior Housing Grants next year? I find it interesting the developer will be asking the same agency,Alaska State Housing Authority, now under AHFC, who previously noted the land in question was not buildable and deemed the property only suitable for park land. The Corp of Engineers reported similar recommendation and went on to say the land in question is"High Risk"and should not be developed nor Gov't funds be used to do so. 5. Council Member Keil also commented Phase I will only require .7 acres and Phase II has not been approved. I may not be the smartest rock in the pile,but if Phase I is actually approved, is there any doubt Phase II will not follow? There goes the better part Pat Williams Park. Sly devils. Let's all support senior housing, but let's find a more suitable piece of property that does not take away from the charm our parks provide. I think future generations would much appreciate that.

Our city parks should not be held in trust only to sell or give away when someone makes a proposal to develop them. There is no policy in our city code that endorses this concept. Our parks belong to the citizens of Seward, and are shared with visitors from all over the world. We expect them to be parks for now and the future, not a land bank for future development. Giving away part of Pat Williams Park sets a dangerous precedent. What Park will be next on the chopping block? Save the Park! Planning and Zoning spent 18 months to review and update the Municipal Lands Inventory and Management Plan. In November 2014, it was finalized and recommended for approval by City Council. The plan was adopted by City Council in December,just 3 months ago. It is part of our Seward Comprehensive Plan that guides our City. In the plan, Pat Williams Park, part of the larger Waterfront Park, is not surplus property. It is zoned Park, the land use is Park, and the recommendation is to retain it as Park, continuing its use as a tent campground. Through the adoption of this plan, the public has spoken to Save the Park. Save the Park! There is a reason the Waterfront and Pat Williams Park are not developed. This land was destroyed by the 1964 Great Quake and tsunamis. The Texaco fuel tanks exploded and burned just across the street. It is in the mapped tsunami inundation zone. There are serious geotechnical concerns with the stability of the land. This is not a safe place to house our seniors. Save the Park! Pat Williams Park generates income from the campground. The senior housing is tax-exempt. This is not fiscally responsible. 43 Save the Park! The March 23 City Council "compromise" to reduce the donation of Park land from 1.8 acres to .7 acres for Phase 1 is not a compromise,just a delay. Phase 2 will obviously take the next chunk of Park, and demand may create a need for Phase 3 and the rest of the Park. Taking the Park in smaller bites is not acceptable. Save the Park! Pat Williams is famous for saving the trees in the early 90s when a bulldozer was poised to clear the property to create a parking lot. The park is named in her honor. Developing the park will destroy many trees, especially Phase 2. No one can speak for Pat now, but she certainly spoke loud and clear when she saved those trees. Save the Park! Buildable, safe land is scarce in Seward, especially in the desired area between downtown and the harbor. Buildable, safe, and FREE land is probably non-existent. This non-income based senior housing project will need to expand its land search beyond its desired location in the community's Park, and consider other creative options including purchasing land that includes payback in the mortgage payments. Save the Park and our seniors! Of course we value our seniors and would like them to stay in Seward as long as possible. I support non-income based senior housing, but NOT in Pat Williams Park. Good idea, wrong location. I urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend to Council to adhere to the updated Muni Land Plan and retain ALL of Pat Williams Park as Park. It is not in the public interest to place seniors in the known tsunami inundation zone, to give away public parkland held in trust for the community, or to replace an income-producing campground with a tax- exempt project.

I believe this area is in an tsunami inundation zone. 2. Adding any housing in the area right next to the existing campground is asking for a disaster, this place is full of travelers coming and going 24/7 setting up tents, partying, slamming car doors and so on. 3. The RV dump station is located right across the street. This is also open to traffic 24/7 with big diesel rigs idling while dumping their septic tanks. Head lights facing the senior housing. 4. The area would be much better suited for a business that is closed at night with no lodging, therefore a less critical structure in case of a tsunami and less likelihood of noise complaints. 5. The City owns lots on first avenue that should be looked at for housing. 5teca n Stefan Nilsson Building Inspector City of Seward 907-224-3445 147 SAVE PAT WILLIAMS PARK PETITION We, the undersigned, request that Pat Williams Park be retained as parkland.

THE CITY OF SEWARD,ALASKA Jean Bardarson,Mayor AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) Ig 69 Council Agenda Statement .�of SEA Meeting Date: March 23, &April 13, 2015 I.,'�''�4,1'QG From: Ron Long, Assistant City Manager 4LASt' Agenda Item: Authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) Donating approximately 1.8 Acres of the Northern Portion of Pat Williams Park For the Sole Purpose of Developing an Independent Senior Housing Facility BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION: A lack of non-income based senior housing in Seward has been identified as a leading cause of seniors leaving the community in order to find adequate facilities. Relocating away from family, friends, and medical and social support systems is especially traumatic for our seniors. A dedicated group of local volunteers has for years explored options for developing an appropriate non-income based senior living facility in Seward, and has most recently partnered with the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) to formalize and further their effort on behalf of the community. KPHI is a private non-profit corporation that has successfully developed housing projects across the Peninsula serving senior, special needs, and low income populations. KPHI's experience and history suggest that they are the most likely entity to successfully procure grant funding to develop a senior housing facility in Seward. Key to a successful grant application is a commitment of site control for the location of the proposed facility. KPHI and the local volunteers have looked at several sites locally, and find the northern portion of Pat Williams Park the most suitable. Preliminary seismic and geotechnical analysis by KPHI confirm that the site is suitable for up to 14 units and associated land features. KPHI proposes to develop the facility in two phases; each to be a five or six-plex. They desire to do the replatting necessary to delineate the northern lot, to acquire this property, and to develop the senior housing facility, all subject to grant award(s) sufficient to fund the first phase of project. The City desires to support and facilitate where feasible senior housing in the community. The entire parcel is currently used for tent camping and portable restrooms during the summer; approximately half of the parcel would no longer be available for camping under this transfer. The parcel zone designation is currently Park, and rezoning for the lot newly created through replat would be required. Donating land constitutes a less than fair market value transaction, and requires the Council to find such a transaction to be in the public's interest as a condition of authorizing the transfer. As a condition of transfer of title to the land, the City will require that replatting, rezoning, and proof of financing sufficient to complete Phase 1 of the development are completed to the satisfaction of the City. INTENT: Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with the Kenai Peninsula Borough Housing Initiative (KPHI) donating approximately 1.8 Acres of the Northern Portion of Pat Williams Park for the Sole Purpose of Developing an Independent Senior Housing Facility. /0 70 CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A Comprehensive Plan: 3.2 Land Use 1. 3.7.3 Continue to improve the quality and efficiency of city X governmental services. Strategic Plan: Goals and Objectives 2 Adjust local development regulations, where appropriate, to encourage X development that is consistent with our economic base vision and a high quality of life for residents. FISCAL NOTE: The loss of 1.8 acres of waterfront park for RV and tent camping is estimated to result in reduced gross revenues of approximately $71,750. When adjusted for estimated expenses, the net loss (revenues less expenses) is estimated from $46,750 to $56,750, annually. This figure assumes a camping season from May 1 through September 30; revenues are offset by reduced expenses (staffing, port-a-potty, maintenance costs) of between $15,000 to $25,000; half the season sites are full;half the season sites are one-third full; that RVs are present only 10%of the season. Approved by Finance Department: 36,4,-;tj ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes: X No: RECOMMENDATION: Council approve Resolution 2015- 020 Authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Kenai Peninsula Housing Facility(KPHI)Donating Approximately 1.8 Acres of the Northern portion of Pat Williams Park for the sole purpose of developing an independent senior housing facility upon condition of KPHI being awarded all other necessary funding for the project development and completion. 71 Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives(KPHI)Request to Seward City Council For Donation of Portion of Pat Williams Park for use to develop Independent Senior Housing In the mid 1990's, the communities of Kenai Peninsula participated in a series of meetings called "Healthy Communities" where, with consultants, each community broadly defined their quality of life issues. Consistently throughout this process, the severe lack of safe affordable housing emerged as a significant community and • economic development issue. This led community and business leaders to collaborate on solutions. As a result, Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives, Inc. (KPHI) was formed — a private non-profit with the mission to alleviate the critical need for affordable housing across the entire Kenai Peninsula. Early on, KPHI provided information, referrals, and advocacy. In 2000 KPHI acquired its first property - a HUD repossessed home in Soldotna. In 2002, KPHI earned recognition as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and received its' first development grant for a special needs housing project in Homer. With CHDO status KPHI received a five-year operating grant which enabled the hiring of KPHI's first staff person in 2003. In 2004 the organization completed Brookside Special Needs Housing in Homer and renovated the HUD home and sold to a low income family. The organization has developed a new property every year since. Under the leadership of Executive Director Steven Rouse and with the commitment of a highly accomplished staff, in 12 years KPHI has successfully developed 105 units of affordable housing and owns and manages 83 of those units. Additionally, KPHI acquired 17 units of housing from Peninsula Community Health Services and manages those as well. In 2011, KPHI bought 5 Kenai Peninsula single family homes in foreclosure, remodeled 4 and returned to property tax rolls by selling to low income families under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. In total KPHI has an inventory of 102 rental units servicing low income, senior or special needs populations. Z2- 11 Page 72 Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives( KPHI) 2 Request for Donation of a portion of Pat Williams Park for Senior Housing Development After assuming management of the South Peninsula Homeless Prevention Program in 2007 and applying strict guidelines and reporting protocols, the program attracted funds from 2008 to mid-2012 that allowed KPHI to assist over 300 individuals annually to maintain their housing. In October 2012 KPHI transferred the program to Haven House secure in knowing the program was financially strong and under capable new administration. KPHI continues to work on new initiatives aimed at filling holes in the continuum of housing on the Kenai Peninsula. It is with that objective in mind that KPHI has been working since 2007 to fulfill the need for independent senior housing in Seward. Independent market studies commissioned by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and local knowledge have identified a need for senior housing in this community. Efforts by KPHI to develop such housing have been stalled by the inability to acquire suitable land for development. A local task of concerned citizens was formed almost a year ago to address the lack of independent senior housing and tireless effort has been given to exploring options. It is with that experience empowered by the awareness of the urgent need that KPHI formed a working partnership with this task force to finally succeed in developing housing that does not exist and can become a reality with the City of Seward's assistance. Currently, the main source of gap/subsidy funding ( the difference between Total Project Costs and all other funding sources- i.e. debt, cash, donation) for construction of independent senior housing in Alaska is the Senior Citizens Housing Development Funds Program (SCHDF) administered by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. Annually AHFC accepts pre-applications for proposed projects. Based on scope and RPH/provides the lore-income. yen.lore-income,.,senior and special needs residents of the Kenai Peninsula area the opportunity to We a more active role in their lives and communities by providing a variety of affordable housing options. FIN 9/-1823180 7:573 Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives( KPHI) 3 Request for Donation of a portion of Pat Williams Park for Senior Housing Development strength of a proposed project AHFC commissions an independent market study to support need for the housing type and then, if deemed worthy, invites the pre-applicant to submit a full application. The pre-application process starts in April /May of each year with full application deadline usually in November and notice of grant award by year end. Construction usually commences the following summer. Due to statewide need and limited funding, the SCHDF approves only few projects each year and competition is always fierce. Project proposals are awarded points for community involvement and leverage contribution to the overall project cost and more points based on the ratio of grant funds to Total Project Cost. Under these criteria a common and effective method to secure a high number of points and win a grant award is for the site to be donated. In order for the first step in the time line (pre-application) to be successful and thus lead to a funded project, KPHI must demonstrate "site control"for the proposed location of the development. Site control need only be a letter of commitment (resolution) that describes "should the project receive construction grant funding, clear title to the subject property will be provided/donated for project use". In simple terms, ownership of the property is retained until the project is approved and funded by AHFC. If the proposed project is not funded, the agreement to donate property is rendered void. In spring 2015, KPHI seeks to submit a preliminary application to the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation Senior Citizens Housing Development Funds Program for the development of 5- 6 units of independent senior housing in Seward. This would be the first phase of a planned use development that is designed to include a second phase development in 2018 or 2019. APM provides the low-income. very low-income.senior and special needs residents of the Kenai Peninsula area the opportunity to take a more active role in their lives and communities hr providing a toriell of affordable housing options. p� (I l 1823/R 74 Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiatives ( KPHI) 4 Request for Donation of a portion of Pat Williams Park for Senior Housing Development As previously mentioned, KPHI and the task force have explored options for a site to develop senior housing in Seward. A portion of the City owned Pat Williams Park is an ideal location and the subject of our request. Seismic and geotechnical analysis confirm the site is suitable for 5 to 14 units depending on unit size and bedroom configuration. KPHI respectfully asks the City Council of Seward to approve /adopt a resolution whereby the City of Seward agrees to donate the *northern portion of KPB Parcel # 14734005 known as Pat Williams Park located at 506 B Street in Seward (*as identified in the prosed site plan and to be accurately re-platted upon site survey) to KPHI for the sole purpose of developing independent senior housing for the benefit of the residents of Seward and surrounding areas contingent upon the proposed Phase 1 project receiving and for being awarded all other necessary additional funding for project development. *Note: Survey defining a specific lot line location and parcel to be donated will be accomplished summer of 2015 at KPHI expense so by the time project is awarded funding the exact property description will be known and ready for Kenai Borough approved re-plat and title transfer to occur prior to being required by AHFC. KPHI looks forward to the opportunity to provide the community of Seward a well- designed, energy efficient, market rate (no rental subsidies) independent senior housing complex that will serve current and future seniors for decades.
