Concerns about less traffic were unfounded as the East Hall was consistently the busiest section of the Expo. "Port of Seward" has reserved space #4215 for next year too. In the last 12 months, the top five states (and specific markets) driving our website traffic are: -Alaska (particularly Anchorage and the Mat -Su Valley) • Washington (particularly Seattle) • California (particularly Los Angeles and San Francisco) • Texas (particularly Dallas) • Florida (particularly Orlando) � We'll be expanding our reach to potential visitors via social media in the coming weeks. Communications Manager Jen Leahy is working with local photographers and is reaching out to travel writers. Hopefully you've all seen that Seward was featured in Main Streets Across America N What is Main Streets Across America? Main Streets Across America is a celebration of streets in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reflect strong 'main street values', play a central role in the communities in which they are located and have great stories to tell. Main Street is more than just an address. It's where people come together to work, play and experience life. Every great community has a street like this whether it's named Main Street, Park Avenue, Mountain Road or Ocean Boulevard. Our Fourth Avenue has been selected to represent Alaska on this annual list. - Last summer the Seward Chamber helped host Doug Olander & crew from Sportfishing Magazine when they came to Seward to fish with Captain Andy Mezirow, Graylight Charters. A fantastic story with incredible kayak fishing photos resulted. A big thanks to Bixler McClure too for sharing the REI holiday photo shoot story that he assisted with. Some comments from that crew: Located on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska, Seward is home to only around 2,700 people. The quaint port city —known for its stunning, rugged scenery —provided the perfect photo shoot backdrop and inspiration for creating non-traditional, unexpected holiday traditions. We wanted to show people a place in the U.S. that they might not normally think about, show them the wildest, most remote parts of our own backyard. We wanted to highlight the spirit of a small town," said Quinn, senior art director. "Seward had something special about it." The community opened its doors, welcomed the crew, and even offered them ideas for where to go and things to see. Quinn says [The people of Seward] helped us in any way that they could. 7/43 — Small Business Saturday N Over 25 local merchants participated, many shoppers, tons of fun! We've received a lot of very positive feedback from the community, so we're excited to see this event grow.

The city annexed the valley in 1977, acquired lands through the Alaska Statehood Act Municipal Entitlement and completed the 1979 Fourth of July Creek Industrial Development Feasibility Study. That study identified four examples of industries that would be more likely than others to locate in the Fourth of July Creek area: fisheries, shipyard, petrochemical processing and heavy industry such as ore refining and bulk freight handling. The foundation for the project was a shipbuilding facility proposed by the Danish firm Burmeister -Wain to meet the high demand for new vessels in the king crab fisheries. With the crash of the fish stock in 1980, the project evolved into a mix of ship repair facilities, general cargo, fisheries processing, and other industrial uses. The project today is essentially as described in the 1980 Century-Quadra report entitled Fourth of July Creek Industrial Marine Park Project Description and shown on Figure 2 - Project Overview and Figure 3 - Site Plan (Appendix Exhibits C &D). Upon completion of a comprehensive 1981 Environmental Impact Assessment, the City embarked on a multi -year construction project that ultimately invested the majority of the city's share of the port bonds and state oil revenues in an access road, the relocation of Fourth of July Creek, a retaining dike, basin, breakwater and shiplift. With a State grant, new investment work has been done to the North dock and a new floating dock for a total investment of approximately $65 million. Access, utilities and land availability helped spawn development of the sawmill and the prison within the boundaries of the Fourth of July Creek valley complex. Although the shiplift has been operational since 1985, development activity has occurred in the portion known as the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). A building/tent was erected to cover large barges and vessels, new break room and machine shop buildings. THE PLAN GOAD An action oriented. document to guide the city and private enterprise in completing the development of a vibrant and successful marine industrial center. The Seward Marine Industrial Center Management Plan is a direct outgrowth of the community's desire to enhance, encourage and promote an atmosphere favorable for additional private sector economic development at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. For the purpose of this plan, the Seward Marine Industrial Center is considered to include the l8/43 128.5 -acres immediately adjacent to the harbor basin, south of Spring Creek and west of the prison property. (Appendix Exhibit A and B) Tract A and Tract B Johnson — Swift Subdivision of USS No. 1651, Parcel ID 14533004. The Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan becomes a component of the City of Seward Comprehensive Plan. Whereas the comprehensive plan contains both advisory and binding elements, this plan contains only advisory elements comprised of goals, issues and actions. The binding element of the comprehensive plan is the Land Use Plan which is a legal document that must be adhered to and can be revised only by ordinance. As part of the process of finalizing the Plan, the City solicited initial suggestions from various public boards and commissions and interested groups such as the Seward Chamber of Commerce. The draft plan was presented to the public at advertised public hearings and through review by the aforementioned groups. The issues raised and recommendations made by those individuals and organizations are reflected in this document. An effective plan is one which is implemented. The City of Seward has a track record of accomplishing actions outlined in its plans. Recommendations from previous plans that have been accomplished within the SMIC area include: • Syncrolift with upland rail system; • 315 ton. Travelift; • Bulk fuel facility; • 430' North Dock; • Fisheries dock and plant improvements; new DEC approved outfall • Electrical substation; Secondary sewer treatment plant; New DEC approved outfall • Primary electrical 34 individual power stalls, water and sewer systems; • Preliminary real estate subdivision plat; Some fill and cargo laydown area; Some utility improvements including area lighting; • Campground Improvements; and • Some Real Estate Development (leases and sales) • New 400 and 800 Amp service located at the North Dock • Rubble Mound Breakwater • Wash down pad 2 19/43 The following items have been funded but not yet accomplished: (should be completed by summer 2018) • 10 ton crane • 315 foot floating dock (Fisherman's float) + Building for wash down pad o- -Fenders on North Dock • Widening of the 315 ton Ttravelift and Ttravelift pit BASIC MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE GOAL Continuation of Upland Development The Basin --envisioned by the 1980 Century-Quadra concept was enclosed, protected and dredged to -21 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) to accommodate medium draft vessels for ship repair, cargo off loading and general moorage. The basin has been dredged to design with -25 foot berths adjacent to the Shiplift Dock and the North Dock. The basin is protected by a rip rap breakwater along the east shoreline, by a filled sheet pile cell breakwater along the south and southwest, and by sheet piling along a section of the North Dock. It is still open to the bay along the west and northwest sides. 1. Unlike a rock rip rap breakwater, the gravel filled interconnecting sheet pile cellular cofferdams making up the South Breakwater require regular maintenance to prevent failure. a. Monitor and repair anodes as needed. Docks- described in the 1980 Century-Quadra concept included an inner dock along the north basin shoreline, deepwater sheet pile cell breakwater and dock enclosing the basin, a ship repair dock, a boat ramp and other miscellaneous docks. A ship repair dock, small fish processing dock, barge ramp (needs repairs) and medium draft cargo dock have been constructed and are in operation. 1. There is a growing demand for additional General Purpose Moorage dock space. a. Construct a north -south dock approximately 315' (under construction at this time). b. To increase moorage within the basin 2. The North Dock will be upgraded with new fendering and a 10 ton crane, during the fall/winter of 2017 and winter/spring of 2018. 3 20/43 c. Surface the dock and staging areas with concrete, asphalt, crushed rock, or Roto mill (crushed asphalt) including the installation of drainage pipes. 3. The Barge Ramp has never been completed and there is a concern about its need. a. If the ramp is deemed unnecessary, delete it to create additional dock face. 4. Fisheries Dock - Maintain per lease agreement. 5. Travelift Dock - Widening of the 300-ton dock. Estimated completion is 2018. 6. Shiplift Dock a. Repair or replace Syncrolift dock ladders, bumpering system and corrosion control of the pipe piling in the splash zone by application of a protective coating. Maintain per M&O agreement, City will monitor maintenance for the useful life of the facility. Shiplift Operations are divided between the mobile 315 ton Travelift and the 5000 long tons Syncrolift platform. The Syncrolift was an integral part of the original SMIC concept plan. The Travelift was purchased and put into operation by the City in 1990 and upgraded to a 315 ton Ttravelift in 2015 to fill the demand for lifting vessels too small to economically use the Syncrolift platform, but too large for the city's 50 ton Travelift. 1. A number of improvements relative to the 315 ton Travelift operation have been identified. a. Expand existing water and electrical systems in the boat storage area b. Encourage the development of full service work stations for major maintenance/construction projects on vessels in order to limit the degree of maintenance allowed in the storage area. c. Provide additional restrooms as needed. 2. The Syncrolift, although owned by the City, is operated by a contractor through a Maintenance and Operating Agreement. The Uplands forming SMIC were for the most part created from the material dredged during the formation of the basin. The original design called for a grade of 18 feet above MLLW. The roads are to grade, but some of land is below desired grade. Drainage ditches were placed along Delphin and Olga Streets and the north property line divert water runoff in the summer. a. Provide engineer designed drainage b. Fill and grade the storage area to the correct elevation and the continuation of improvement to drainage. .19 21/43 1. During winter, ditches and culverts freeze causing runoff to pool in the lower areas behind roads. a. Fill and grade low lying areas for proper drainage. b. Add to Article 18 of all new leases under maintenance do not push snow into ditches. MANAGEMENT GOAL A management level that is responsive to the needs of its customers and users, adequately serves the public's needs, protects the city's investment and ensures public safety Security and concerns related to potential environmental pollution grow as the number of boats, cargo and equipment on site increase. Sufficient revenues are necessary for effective on site management and security of this public facility. 1. Seek a rate of return from the use of public facilities, land assets and equipment that will adequately cover deferred maintenance and replacement costs. a. Examine electric rate method of calculating charges to users b. Examine credit card rate method of calculating charges to users 2. Continue to review the Upland Boat Work Policy and Best Management Practices to insure compliance with the Clean Water Act and Local, State and Federal Laws and regulations where they apply. 3. Ensure that the facility and uses are consistent with the requirements of the Maritime Security Act of 2002 33.CFR 104.105 and maintain the Facility Use Plan. LAND USE GOAL Sound, maximized and coordinated development of private and public uplands and facilities in support of the needs of the users and visitors Platting The city has formulated a subdivision of SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek Valley. The subdivision plat dedicates roads, and provides an as -built of utility and access easements. It creates legal lots for those existing leases and leaves the majority of the SMIC area in blocks. 1. Maintain an accurate map through the survey and plat amendment for all current and future leases. 5 22143 Land Values In order to provide adequate public services and maintenance at SMIC, it is important that the city receive a fair market value. The current rate is 8% annually of the appraised value for the use of its limited land assets. L The annual rental payment shall be adjusted every five years. The adjusted annual rental payment to be paid under the terms of the lease shall be the appraised fair market rental value (the "Fair Market Rental Value") of the Leased Land at the highest and best use of the Lease Land. 4-.2.Interint Rental Adjustments. For each year in the period between each Rental Adjustment Date, excepting the Rental Adjustment Dates, the annual rental payment shall be increased beginning July 1, [_ I and on July I of every year thereafter (each on "Interim Rental Adjustment Date") in an amount that reflects the increase, if any, in the cost of living for the previous year as stated in the Consumer Price index, All Urban Consumers, Anchorage, Alaska Area, All Items 1967=100 ("CPI"), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the most recent period published immediately prior to the Interim Rental Adjustment Date. Land Uses SMIC is zoned Industrial. The Seward Zoning Code, Table 15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed establishes what uses are allowed within that district. Uses allowed within the SMIC should focus on strengthening and enhancing the area as a center for marine and other compatible industries. 1. Review Table 15.10.225 to ensure the uses listed are compatible with the overall intent of the SMIC area. Parks and Recreation Under state statutes, the city is required to provide public access along Spring Creek, Fourth of July Creek and Resurrection Bay. Although the area is principally industrial, limited recreation opportunities can be made available without interfering with surrounding industrial uses. 1. Maintain access from Nash Road to the mouth of Spring Creek and provide a camping area. Include signage of the access route. 2. Maintain separation between the campground and industrial uses. A chain link fence will be installed to separate the North Dock from the Campground. 0 WEN MARKETING GOAL A comprehensive marketing program primarily targeting fisheries, ship repair and marine transportation industries along with a healthy and complementary mix of commercial support business Current city marketing efforts include: attendance at trade shows, overseas trade missions, brochures and advertising. 1. Maintain identification of lands available for lease. (See Appendix Exhibit E) 2. Maintain a fair market value base line from which leases will be negotiated. 3. 1-Maintain online documentation and a sign along Nash Road and central to the SMIC area showing what lands are available for lease. 4. Continue to encourage multiple users. 5. Evaluate utility rates to encourage more usage while ensuring a fair return to the public utility system. TRANSPORTATION GOAL An adequate transportation infrastructure that will: (1) serve the needs of the industrial complex; (2) allow for growth; and (3) attract new business to the community. Roads, Nash Road provides the only ground access to SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek area. To adequately serve SMIC and attract new industries it is of the utmost importance to maintain and improve the public road system to the highest standard economically possible, to include paving. 1. Postpone paving interior SMIC streets until site and utility developments are completed, Although Parking has not been a problem in the past, as more activity develops, it will become imperative that vehicles park in designated areas off public roads and away from equipment activity. 1. Ensure that all lease sites include adequate area to comply with parking requirements set forth in the zoning code, and that lessees provide on site parking for employees and customers. 7 24/43 2. Maintain signage in parking areas in support of the public docks. Although not directly associated with SMIC, having a well maintained Airort is an important transportation link for the delivery of parts, goods and services to the industrial center businesses. 1. Continue to work with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to improve airport facilities and protect it from river flooding and erosion. E:3 25/43 PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES GOAL A full range of public facilities and services adequate to provide a safe and comfortable work environment for users and visitors. Public Facilities are currently limited from available to non -available. 1. Include construction of an additional public restroom/shower facility in the city's capital project plan. 2. Improve paving, fill, fencing, storm water drainage collection, and treatment infrastructure as development occurs. Public Safely The distance from town limits police coverage to an occasional patrol, and also increases fire response time. Although dumper/ladder truck -s-isa" located in the harbor storage building, there are no scheduled trained fire department personnel on site to operate them. The lire truck is staged onsite and ready for volunteer personnel. 1. Evaluate each new development as to its impact on fire and police services. 2. Complete water system to loop all lines or upsize all cross feeder lines and provide additional fire hydrants as needed. 3. Identify and reserve a site for a fire station to serve the Fourth of July Valley area. 4. Include a separate fire station in capital project plan, to accommodate more and/or larger equipment and supplies to support increased industrial development. Possibly include a joint small office for Seward Police. 5. Explore possible co-operative arrangements with Spring Creek Correctional Facility staff to provide initial fire or other public safety needs. Public Utilities such as primary water, sewer, and electrical service systems have not been extended throughout the undeveloped SMIC areas. (Appendix Exhibit F1-F3) The cost of extending these utilities creates a disincentive to the establishment of smaller businesses. 1. Improve the water and electrical systems in areas associated with the..315 ton Travelift, to accommodate increased public use. 2. Include in city capital planning the extension of electrical, sewer and water throughout the industrial area. 9 2b/43 to 27/43 ENVIRONMENT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT GOAL A high level of environmental regulatory compliance and a clean work environment Environmental Concerns The objective of the City is to maintain a clean work environment and to protect the land, water and air to the highest degree possible without making the area prohibitive for the type of activities associated with industrial areas. 1. Develop a comprehensive environmental plan to include any required mitigation plans to cover potential events in the SMIC industrial complex while maintaining compliance with the rules and regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. 2. Establish policies and procedures for monitoring and ensuring vessel storage/repair site clean up. 3. Develop and distribute use guidelines to lessees, operators and users of the area. 4. Designate a site and develop environmentally acceptable repair stations for ship repair including minor repairs, sand blasting and painting. Pave wash down station with rain water encapsulations. 5. Require compliance with present or future environmental regulations or controls to lessees or owners with regard to their operations on land within the area. 6. Support updating Seward City code to facilitate utility extension development. Waste Management is integral to managing a successful industrial area where large amounts of waste are generated. Separation of steel, wood and general garbage is required at the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) solid waste facility. It is illegal to dump used oil in solid waste containers. 1. Continue implementation and improvements of a program to control the separation, collection, recycling and disposal of waste generated at the industrial center, in accordance with established environmental policies and regulations/requirements of the KPB solid waste facility. 2. Continue to improve used oil collection procedures and disposal facilities to meet the demands of user groups and to ensure a clean environment. Monitor users to prevent any illegal discharge of solid or liquid waste. 11 28/43 3. Improve methods to monitor waste material disposal to control and reduce the costs associated with the collection of waste materials. 4. Prepare and file a "Storm Water Pollution and. Prevention Plan" (SWPPP). APPEARANCE GOAL A high standard of aesthetic appearance and cleanliness through landscaping, litter control efforts, and development of public amenities that are in keeping with the industrial maritime theme of the area. Landscaping and Beautification Industrial areas do not have to be barren and devoid of natural aesthetics. An atmosphere that is pleasant and attractive to users and visitors alike can be cultivated and accomplished through thoughtful planning and landscaping efforts. 12 29/43 1. Where possible reduce scrap metal storage, trash, and other materials that may be considered offensive to the casual observer. 2. Encourage the planting of trees and other landscaping features to break up the barren gravel expanse. 3. Ensure that all businesses comply with city codes regarding the collection and disposal of trash. 4. Continue to place all electric utilities below ground. 13 30/43 SIGNS, ZONING, BUILDING GOAL Signs Adequate public signing is important for the visitors to provide directions, identify streets, point out public facilities and to post rules and regulations. Private signing identifies places of business. 1. Review sign code to insure compatibility and adequacy with the industrial atmosphere. 2. Maintain a sign along Nash Road identifying and welcoming visitors to the Seward Marine Industrial Center. 3. Review public signing to ensure that it is adequate to the needs of the public and the city. 4. Install street signs throughout the industrial center to comply with local, state and federal regulations. 5. Maintain a sign denoting lands for lease and who to contact. Zoning code development requirements regulate open space for fire prevention/fighting, air and light. 1. Review zoning codes for height and set -back requirements, etc., to determine if they are consistent with the desired industrial center development. 2. Consider an overlay zone to allow support uses in SMIC that are not otherwise wanted in other industrial areas. Buildings constructed to code are important to ensure safe working conditions, and to add to the community tax base. The city has adopted uniform building, fire, mechanical and plumbing codes. I. Ensure that all buildings are constructed to adopted building and fire code standards. 2. Review for consideration the use of temporary buildings and trailers. 14 31143 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GOAL Adoption of the plan by resolution of the City Council and implementation by all identified participants For the City of Seward to realize the benefits of the SMIC Development Plan and thereby ensure sound growth and development, actions must be taken not only by the City of Seward, but by many other players within the community, the Borough, State and Federal Government. Following are specific actions which are necessary to ensure the successful implementation of this plan: Adopting a Plan shows commitment and establishes policy. Council should, by resolution, adopt the plan based upon recommendations of the Port and Commerce Advisory Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Use the Plan to guide the City of Seward in the appropriate quality growth and development of the SMIC. Consistent with its original intent, the plan will remain flexible. While it is intended that all actions presented in this plan will be implemented, it is recognized that changing conditions in the future may necessitate modifications of planned actions or the introduction of additional actions to satisfy local needs. The City recognizes the critical role of plans as key program documents to guide the community's capital budgeting process. It is recommended that the SMIC Development Plan be reviewed annually and updated within flve years, or more often as needed. An annual review will help track accomplishments, changes and inadvertent omissions. Appendix (The ---attachments must be updated and kept current,) Exhibit A.
