No one appeared to address the Council and the public hearing was closed. Harbormaster Norm Regis said David Phillips from Raibow already had property at the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) and wanted to expand, perhaps adding a building for housing maintenance workers. This property would be adjacent to Phillips' existing property. In response to Squires,Regis said Phillips would be fencing this lot only,and would not be combining adjacent lots this time.This lot would be used for boat storage.Regis corrected his earlier statement by saying that the building to be erected would be for the storage of tools and equipment only and not for workers. There was electric in place to the corner of the lot,but no water or sewer; water and sewer were on the next street over. In response to Squires,Regis said the building permit and construction would be one to two years down the road. Squires said that any building that was occupied required sanitation,according to city building codes, and suggested that the building be put on the adjacent lot that already had sewer on it. In response to Butts, Regis said Lot 4 was the adjacent lot. Regis confirmed that this lease was for 20 years, plus two 5-year extensions. If the lots were combined in the future, both leases would be renegotiated and combined into one lease. In response to Squires, Long said if council approved combining the two lots; it would be up to the property owner to vacate the property line. • Motion Passed Unanimous UNFINISHED BUSINESS—None NEW BUSINESS Ordinances for Introduction Ordinance 2016-006, Amending Seward City Code 15.25.
