Lowell brought up another item of old business regarding an agreement made by the H & T Mining Co. and felt that this matter should be looked into and taken up at the next regular meeting. There being no further old business the Council then turned to the first item of New Business which was the Planning and Zoning Commission, item 1, Proposal to change certain street names. City Manager read the letter from the Zoning & Planning Commission which outlined that there were two sets of streets in the City named "A", "B", "C", & "D", one in the Federal Addition and one in Bayview Addition. They proposed to change the streets in the Bayview Addition from A to Aialik; B to Barwell, C to Caines and D to Day. Also suggested that Dairy Hill revert to its original name of Chamberlin in honor of our first Mayor. The Mayor then asked is there any action the Council would like to take on this suggestion? Clm. Lowell "I move that we accept the City Planning and Zoning Comaisalon reconrrendation to change the,...K names of the streets in Bayview Addition as follows: "A" street to Aialik; "B" to Barwell, "C" to Caines and "D" to Day, and also revert Dairy Hill back to its original name of Chamberlin and to.thank Mc them for that recommendation." Seconded by Clm. Leirer. Clmn. Hodson, Johnson, Kulin, Leirer and Lowell voted yes. Motion carried. City Manager was. instructed to draw up the necessary Resolution. Item 2,-)of the Planning and Zoning Commission was the proposal that the City re- acquire Lots 12 and 13, Block 15, Original Town, previously conveyed to U. S. of America. City p'anager explained that these are lots on corner of 9th Ave. and Church Street. He then read the letter from the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that these twl lots were bought from the City by the. Forest Service in 1936 for 8100.00 seek and evidently they have changed their mindst using them and the city was asked to try to buy these lots back from the' at Service. Clm. Johnson made a motion "I move that we try to reacquire these 1 from the Forest Service for the same price of $100.00 sash." Seconded by Clm. Hodson. Clmn. Hodson, Johnson, Kulin, Leirer and Lowell voted yea. Motion carried. The next item was Item 3 under Planning and Zoning Commission, suggestion that the area west of Lowell Canyon Dam Area be.conveyed to the City of Seward. City Manager read a letter from the Planning & Zoning Commission with regards to this item. The letter requested that immediate action be taken to acquire from the proper department of State Lands, the area lying at the base of the Lowell Canyon Darn which would be west of the R. J. Stanton property, and such additional land west of the dam as may be needed to protect the area from pri- vate entry. It is the thought of the Commission that this is a desirable place for development of a park, and plans are being made to incorporate it in the overall plan now being designed for.the City of Seward. Clm. Johnson also made the suggestion that at the same time the land by the Lagoon that is now under a Special Use Permit, be asked for. City Manager was instructed to write the necessary letter to acquire these areas. City Manager reported on an item omitted from the Agenda which was regarding Petrolane, and he then read a portion of the minutes of the Planning & Zoning Commission with regards to their views of releasing a portion of Railroad Ave. to Petrolane Co. Discussion followed on this. Mayor stated that he was meet- ing with Coastwise officials and representatives from Petrolane on Wednesday of this week and will bring up the points that were expressed by the Clmn. The next item was the Request of Seward Broadcasting Corp. - for deletion of reverter clause in deed. City Manager then read the letter from Seward Broad- casting Corp., which also enclosed a proposed Resolution rescinding the rever- ter clause in the deed. Clm. Kulin asked to be excused from discussion and voting on this matter as he has an interest in the corporation. Discussion followed ori the request. Clm. Leirer made the motion "I move that the request of Seward Broadcasting Corp. for deletion of the reverter clause in the deed j be rejected." Seconded by Clm. Hodson. Clm.

In 1908 he mushed to Seward, his team led by his famous lead dog Blossom, named for Point Blossom on Kotzebue Sound, where he was born. Blossom was black with white patches and a white face and breast. Over the years Chamberlin used his dog team to carry construction materials for the Alaska Central and Alaska Northern Railways and for the Alaska Engineering Commission. during the construction of the Alaska Railroad. He carried supplies and equipment to various mines on the Kenai, for example, in 1911, in five days he carried three tons of supplies by dog team to the Kenai Mining and Milling Company on Cooper Creek. He also carried mail and passengers to Hope, Sunrise, Kenai and Iditarod. He bid on,but lost to Colonel Revell, the contact to carry mail between Seward and Iditarod in 1914. Chamberlin was a working musher,but he did enter one race, the first Seward sled dog race in February 1913, coming in second to Al Taylor. He had many interests besides dog mushing. From his arrival in Alaska he was interested in the agricultural possibilities of the area. His garden in Seward was a showplace and he experimented with many varieties of vegetables and fruit frees. He also raised several breeds of chickens and rabbits His home in Seward was located on what is now called Chamberlin Hill, overlooking the Lagoon. Chamberlin was a licensed big game guide. During President Harding's visit to Seward in 1923,he took Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover fishing and they returned with 50 pounds of sea bass and silver salmon. Ile had an extensive political career. l Ie served as a Seward City Councilman from 1913-17, Seward Mayor in 1919 and 1920, a member of the Territorial Senate from 1921- 25, tax collector in Bristol Bay in 1923 and U. S. Commissioner in McCarthy from 1926- 36. Chamberlin died May 27, 1948. One story,perhaps apocryphal, that is told about Chamberlin and Blossom, in various forms and with no specific date, was that during a trip from Seward to Iditarod, carrying mail, merchandise and two teachers as passengers, the team was overtaken, near Moose Pass,by a train going north. Blossom lead the team in a race against the train and lost. Chamberlin comforted Blossom, saying they had to face the fact the railroad was here to stay and things would never be the same again. It is said that Chamberlin saw the event as a race between the past and the future and as a sign that Alaska,for good or bad,was changing. 19 ,T x Ir.

Development Requirements-Notes BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: At the Council joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 24, 2016 the Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission and Community Development Department staff to review and develop new Code provisions addressing the ability to plat and develop lots of 3,000 square feet. The Commission held public work sessions to discuss the pros and cons of smaller lots. Current City Code allows for the single family home development of existing originally platted 3,000 square foot lots but does not allow for the development of other 3,000 square foot lots. There are several 3,000 square foot lots that currently do not meet the originally platted requirement of the current code. Also, the current City code does not allow for the platting of new or additional 3,000 square foot lots. The facilitation of small lot development could to some degree encourage infill development. New construction on scattered vacant or underutilized lots near the center of town may be a way to increase housing. For the most part, the subdivisions south of Van Buren Street are severed by alley access with utilities located in both the alley and street rights-of-way, allowing for the required separation of utilities on small lots. While the City of Seward is required to provide recommendations to the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) on all platting or subdivision requests within the City Limits, the Borough Platting Commission has the final authority on the subdivision approval. There are several Borough code provisions that address lot size, special or different standards within organized cities: • KPB subdivision code §2030.190. Lots—Dimensions requires minimum lot width of 60 • feet • KPB §20.30.200. Lots—Minimum Size requires minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. • KPB §20.30.270 Different standards in cities; requires the City to have an Ordinance in place stating the different subdivision design standards. Therefore, if the City chooses to have different lot sizes or standards than the Borough Code requirements, the City is required to have an Ordinance in place stating the different standards. When a surveyor is platting a smaller lot a special exception request to the Borough standards will be required. 27 Staff is also requesting a code amendment to provide clarification on the lot size for duplex or two family developments. Minimum lot size for single family homes and multi-family developments with three—four units is currently provided in the Development Requirements but no guidance is provided for duplex development. Therefore, City staff has provided a recommendation by the addition of item F. to the Development Requirements -Notes. Specific additions, deletions or changes are as follows: • (Deletions are Bold Strikethroughs; Additions are Bold Underline) 15.10.220 Development Requirements-Notes *** NOTE 2. *** B. In the R1, R2, R3, UR, OR and = AC and CB Districts, from—the—Seward Van Buren Street South, 63000 3,000 SF and north, 7-3000 6,000 SF with 60 30 and 70 60 foot minimum frontages respectively, for single-family residences. *** D. In the R1, R2, R3, UR, OR and 3 AC and CB Districts, individual originally platted lots of at least 3,000 SF in the Original Townsite, Federal Addition, Laubner Addition, Cliff Addition and Bayview Addition may be developed for single-family residences provided all other development requirements of this chapter are met. *** F. Two-family or duplex developments require a minimum of 6,000 SF in the R2, R3, UR, OR, AC and CB Districts and 20,000 SF in the RM District. Duplex developments within the Federal Addition Subdivision require 5,000 SF, provided all other development requirements of this chapter are met. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A Comprehensive Plan (2020, approved by Council August 8, 2005): 3.2.1 Promote residential and commercial development within the 1. city of Seward in accordance with community values. (page 19) X 3.3.1.1 Support a range of housing choices that meet the needs of people in various income and age groups. (page 22) Strategic Plan (Approved by Council Resolution 99-043): • Expand availability of affordable, diverse, year-round 2 housing. X o Seward has a wide range of housing alternatives to meet the varied needs of Seward's long term and seasonal residents (Pape 1R.Bullet 3) 28 • Promote Residential and Commercial Development inside the City. (Page 9,Bullet 2) Encourage construction of residential and seasonal housing at all market levels (Page 9,Bullet 2-1) 3 Municipal Lands Management Plan: (Adopted by Council X Resolution 2014-095) Seward City Code §15.01.035(c)(2)&(3) provides that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing and forward written recommendations to the City Council before the City Council amends or repeals any land use regulations, or changes zoning or land use boundaries. One member of the public provided written concerns in opposition to the requested code amendment. Those concerns have been included within your packet. Concerns were expressed from City staff regarding the ability to provide the required separation of utilities to small lots with no alley access. Those concerns have been addressed by only allowing the 3,000 square foot lot additions and development south of Van Buren Street. As per City Code §15.01.040 Public Hearings; the public notice requirements were met. At the time of publishing this agenda, no further public inquiry had been received. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission approve Resolution 2016-12, recommending the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance amending City Code §15.10.220. Development Requirements—Notes. 29 August 16, 2016 Re: 30x100' lot development Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners, I am opposed to increasing the potential for more 30' lot development for the following reasons: 1. Development on 30' lots is already occurring without any changes to the code. Note the new houses at 422 and 424 Third Ave, and the new building at 329 Third Ave. 2. Note as well the lack of off-street parking for many small lots. Vehicles park along the street, increasing traffic congestion and issues with road maintenance. 3. People have stuff. The romantic notion that a small house means the simple, uncluttered life is often not true. Last year, a 627 square foot cottage on a 30x100' lot was purchased by an out-of-town owner. He then parked his large motorhome in the alley, extending into the property to the north. A large boat and skiff were parked in the front yard, along with a school bus, and storage trailer. His two vehicles were variously parked on the front yard or in the alley on the neighboring property. While this may be an extreme case, it points out the fact that most people have stuff that does not fit on 30' lot, even with a small home. 4. Many of Seward's small homes and small lots are owned by non-residents who bought them for summer use or nightly lodging. Encouraging more 30' lots will promote more out-of-town or non-resident owners and more seasonal use, not year-round residents. 5. Small lots are not necessarily affordable for first time homeowners, young or old. Subdividing a larger parcel does not create cheaper per square foot lots, but increases the price per square foot. Small homes are still expensive for first time homeowners. 6. The possible additional property tax is miniscule and not a good argument for smaller lots. 30 1 7. Subdividing larger lots into 30x 100' lots, especially in the historic parts of Seward, will destroy trees and shrubs and other landscaping that contribute to the beauty of Seward. Please refer to Title 15.15.025, Seward's Historic Plant and Tree Register, that provides for public recognition of local plants and trees, many of which are located in the area under discussion. 8. The Council's interest in smaller lots and tiny homes is inconsistent with its decision to donate 1.7 acres of public land for up to two 6-bedroom apartment buildings that will serve a maximum of 24 people if all the units are 2 bedroom with 2 people per 12 units. What is our vision for Seward? Do we want to encourage maximum density with smaller lots? Do we want to allow three story buildings now that the fire department has a ladder truck? Shall we allow the creation of more small lots in residential zones that encourages more nonresident ownership, more seasonal use, and further exacerbates the lack of year-round housing for residents? Is there a point of saturation? Or do we want a livable town with adequate space for residents with off street parking and storage space, and space for trees and shrubs that grace our town. I vote for quality of life. Thank you for your consideration.

The amendment was considered, per Code, because the area of the proposed rezone bordered the Urban Residential designation. In addition, property owners in the requested area signed an application. The area was also being considered because it contained more than one (1) acre. Glenz said Urban Residential zoning offered more commercial flexibility, but there was also support for the retention of Single-Family zoning. Staff had received several comments, which were included in the meeting packet and also as an informational lay down for the Commission, Glenz said. Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Carol Griswold, inside City, said she opposed the proposed zoning change to Urban Residential. Griswold presented a petition with 21 signatures and stated the residents who signed were opposed to the passage of Resolution 2016-09. Christy Audette Bagula, inside City, said Urban Residential zoning could bring higher traffic businesses into the neighborhood and opposed the proposed zoning change. Hernan Scarnichia, inside City, said he *as opposed to some of the uses allowed under Urban Residential zoning, including multi-unit housing. Deb Kurtz, inside City, said she became acquainted with neighbors in the area of the proposed rezone and had enjoyed the character of the existing zoning and did not want more traffic. Kurtz said she wanted to retain Single-taamily zoning. George Goen, inside City, said he recently moved to Seward and found the Second Avenue neighborhood to be charming and wanted to retain the current zoning. Tom Osborne, inside City, said he had lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and had enjoyed the quiet and the low level of traffic. He said he did not want congestion or noise and supported keeping the neighborhood's Single-Family zoning. Nathaniel Charbonneau, inside City, said he opposed changing the current zoning because of the potential negative impact to the community. • Michele Meulendyk, inside City, spoke against the proposed rezone because of the potential impact to housing for year-round residents and seasonal workers. Andrew Bacon, inside City, said he opposed Resolution 2016-09 and all zoning changes that could result in more nightly lodging and less single family housing. Hearing no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. 35 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7,Page 194 Motion (Anderson/Swann) Approve Resolution 2016-09 Commissioner Ambrosiani, the primary applicant for the proposed rezone, requested a decision on a conflict of interest. The Chair agreed there was a conflict and, with the consensus of the Commission, Ambrosiani • took a seat in the audience. Anderson said she lived in a neighborhood with a bed and breakfast business next door and had not experienced problems. She said the proposed zoning designation change to Urban Residential was not that different than Single-Family. Anderson said a church in the neighborhood could be converted to some other use, but that use would need to come before the Commission for approval. Swann said he opposed the resolution. Bed and breakfast operations were allowed in the Single- Family zone, but Urban Residential zoning included many Commercial uses. Residents who purchased single family residences expected a certain lifestyle,he said. Fleming said she opposed the proposed rezone because she did not want added traffic in the neighborhood. Ecklund noted that the City Comprehensive Plan was under review and the land use map and zoning maps could be discussed during public meetings that were to be held during the next year. The various zoning district designations had varying allowed uses, and more public input was needed before making substantial changes, she said. Motion Failed \ Yes: Anderson No: Swann, Seese, Fleming, Ecklund Resolution 2016-07 of the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, recommending City Council approve the attached ordinance amending the Land Use Plan and zoning designation of Lot 9A, Block 17, Federal Addition Clark-Tougas Replat from Two Family Residential (R2) to Auto Commercial (AC) and Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 17, • Federal Addition, from Single Family Residential (R1) to Auto Commercial (AC) located between C and D Streets on the east side of Second Avenue Glenz described the three applicant properties for Commissioners, noting the location and surrounding neighborhood development. The parcel to the north of the proposed rezone area included a 12-unit employee bunkhouse, and land to the west included Urban Residential zoned parcels. Glenz said staff recommended approval. Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. 36 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7,Page 195 David Struif, the primary applicant, said he purchased a property with two houses and he wished to use the second house as a "house rental on a nightly basis" and improve the property if the Auto Commercial zoning amendment was approved. Struif said he did not have plans for a major development. Struif noted that a tri-plex at the corner of Second Avenue and C Street did not meet development standards because it was in the Single-Family zoning district. The Auto Commercial zoning designation would also bring zoning uniformity to the remainder of the block, he said. Andrew Bacon, inside City, said he opposed the proposed rezone because he supported residential housing and did not support increased nightly lodging. Michele Meulendyk, inside City, said the current owners could sell the property after a zoning change and new owners could pursue substantial development. She said she wanted balance between housing and lodging. Carol Griswold, inside City, said the Auto Commercial zone bad many commercial applications and could be very busy. She opposed the proposed Auto Commercial zoning, she said. Christy Audette Bagula, inside City, said she had been a bed and breakfast operator and the business did generate more traffic. She said it was increasingly difficult to find year-round housing. Hearing no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion (Swann/Fleming) Approve Resolution 2016-07 Fleming questioned whether Struif could operate a bed and breakfast at his Two-Family zoned property. Glenz noted that the applicant wanted to rent one of the houses as a nightly rental, which was not allowed in that zoning district.A bed and breakfast needed to be owner occupied, Glenz said. Fleming asked why the applicant was seeking the Auto Commercial zoning designation, instead of the Urban Residential zoning designation. Glenz said the applicant considered the Auto Commercial zoning to the north and east and decided to apply to bring the remainder of the block into uniformity. Swann said he opposed the proposed rezone because Second Avenue had been a relatively quiet residential area and the Land Use Map supported the Single-Family zoning. Swann suggest the public participate in the Comprehensive Plan update and help determine guidelines for future zoning. 37 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7,Page 196 Seese suggested that Mr. Struif could, if he wished, build a breezeway between his two homes and perhaps meet Code requirements for nightly lodging for one single family home. Ecklund asked what use was allowed for the second house, besides a monthly rental. Glenz explained that the applicant could only operate a monthly rental in the home that he did not occupy. Struif could not operate a bed and breakfast, because it would need to be owner • occupied. He could not operate a house rental on a nightly basis,because the use was not allowed by Code. Ambrosiani said he opposed the resolution because the community needed to develop a good Comprehensive Plan that addressed the various zoning concerns and related issues. Anderson said she was in support of the resolution. Ecklund pointed out that the Land Uses Allowed table listed the various uses by zoning district and the community needed to participate in the Comprehensive Plan process to determine what level of development was acceptable in the various parts of town. Swann said the Auto Commercial zoning designation was More appropriate for Third Avenue properties than Second Avenue. Seese noted that most of the block was already Auto Commercial and supported the effort to rezone the remainder of the block to Auto Commercial. Motion Failed Yes: Seese,Anderson No: Fleming, Swann,Ambrosiani, Ecklund Ecklund asked staff when the applicants could resubmit an application for a change in zoning designation. Glenz said nothing similar could be submitted by the applicants for at least nine months, per Code. Resolution 2016-08 of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of • Seward, Alaska, recommending City Council amend Seward City Code 15.25 Floodplain Management by adopting the October 20, 2016 revised Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Glenz provided the history of the National Flood Insurance Program and the City of Seward adoption of the insurance program and the required flood mapping. The proposed mapping updates were largely for the coastal zone. The City of Seward had been given a deadline of October 20, 2016 to adopt the new flood maps. 38 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7, Page 197 Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Hearing no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion (Anderson/Seese) Approve Resolution 2016-08 Motion Passed Unanimous Unfinished Business—None New Business Items— Resolution 2016-10 of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough approval of the preliminary replat of Lots 21A and 24A, Block 26, Original Townsite of Seward, Griswold Replat, creating one lot to be known as Lot 21B,Peck Replat Glenz noted the replat was submitted by surveyor Nick Cline to vacate an interior lot line and create a single parcel of approximately 15,000 square feet. The parcel would include one single family home. All of the utilities were provided and staff recommended approval, Glenz said. Motion (Anderson/Fleming) Approve Resolution 2016-10 Anderson noted that City Council had directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to pursue the platting and development of smaller lots. The proposed replat under consideration was an instance where more land would be dedicated to one home. Ambrosiani asked how many homes could be built on the property that was included in the proposed replat action. He also asked if there was any advantage or disadvantage to the City if the plat action were approved. Glenz said the lots, if in their original platting configuration, could have accommodated five small homes on five 30 foot by 100 foot lots. That level of development could have possibly generated more tax revenue for the City. Code did not currently allow platting of lots smaller than 6,000 square feet, Glenz said. Ecklund noted that the City Council had directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to investigate allowing platting of parcels smaller than 6,000 square feet. Glenz reiterated that the City of Seward did not allow platting of lots smaller than 6,000 square feet, and that the standard was established by the State of Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 39 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7,Page 198 Ecklund said with Code revision, more small family homes could be developed on smaller parcels and staff had begun working on the issue. Motion Passed Unanimous Planning and Zoning Commission August Work Session Glenz noted no public hearing items had been received in time for the August 2 Planning and Zoning Commission regular meeting, but there was an opportunity to hold a work session to review the Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The plan approval was on a tight schedule and August 2 was the only good time for the public work session, she said. Glenz said the suggested the August 16 work session be dedicated to the proposed Code amendments that could facilitate the platting and development of 3,000 square foot lots. The Commission considered the schedule and agreed to cancel the August 2 regular meeting and hold a 6 p.m. work session on the Hazard Mitigation Nan update. The Commission also set the August 16 work session topic as the review of platting and development of 3,000 square foot lots. Informational Items and Reports (No action required) FEMA Region X Newsletter 2016 Planning& Zoning Meeting Schedule and Calendar Commission Comments ° Anderson noted she had not received Title 15 updates relating to new marijuana regulations. Glenz said the ordinance, which was recently approved, would be distributed to Commissioners in the morning. Fleming said she observed a driveway construction on Dairy Hill and there was some water backing up and flowing around the project area. Anderson also noted the water and that the position of the driveway required caution on the part of drivers. Ecklund thanked the public for attending and asked if anyone wished to speak. Citizens' Comments— 40 City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes July 19, 2016 Volume 7,Page 199 Carol Griswold, inside City, thanked the Commission and the members of the public who attended the meeting. She also said that small lots often became second homes and did not necessarily promote family housing. She said research was required. Commission and Administration Response to Citizens' Comments— Ecklund noted that members of the public could receive the Land Uses Allowed table if they wanted the information, which was discussed at various points during the evening. Staff could provide the information, she said. Swann encouraged the public to participate in the update of the Comprehensive Plan.
