I was thinking about the PACAB Priority from Council regarding explore energy alternatives and I had a couple of ideas for PACAB- Based on yesterday's meeting I know Admin is looking for a speaker in January either 1) ASLC eng about heat pumps 2) info with chamber contacts (Phil Kousla) regarding air heat pumps and I have a 3- to add to the mix if the other two aren't available or as an option — Mike and Rayleen O'Conner about their solar panels. 2. Moving forward- PACAB has been floundering to find our roll and how Council would like us to address this priority. We want to move forwards. with this.priority, or in February after our opinion that I would like to suggest to Council and PACAB would be we get more involved with the Energy Fair in October. This makes the most sense so that we can be an added resource and benefit to something already moving forward. We should ask Chamber to keep us in the loop and see how we can get more involved. At the very least all of PACAB should try to attend (or split up various board members attending various sessions). Maybe even offer to judge the student science fair, or other contest. We could also help council during a very busy time and have the final student presentation at our meeting. Pros and cons to that would be- Pros - during the day instead of evening and shorten council meetings where business needs to take place. We are the energy vetting Board, so it would be more appropriate for us. Cons- less exposure because not televised. Keep or toss. I'm just one Board Member, but I thought I would throw these ideas out there. Thank you. (I cc'ed Brenda since I was making the suggestion about the student presentation and also since our priorities are approved by Council.)

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 work1as been -done to the North dock and a new floating dock for a total 'investment.of approximately S65 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 L 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 GOAL An action oriented document to guide the _city and private enterprise in completuig the development of a -Vibrant and_,successful:,inarine-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 file purpose of `this plan, the Seward Marine Industrial Center - considered to include the ir. ,-1 f 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.musf be adhered to and can be revised only by ordinance. As part of the process of. fmalizing 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 0 17 The following items have been n 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 • Fenders on North Dock Widening of the 315 ton Travelift and Travelift pit BASIC MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE GOAL_Continuation of Upland Development- The- Basin. -envisioned by the.1980 Century-Quadra concept was enclosed, protected and dredged (-11,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.d_emand 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 18 n 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 315-tondock. 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 500.0 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 1950 and upgradedto a 315 ton Travelift in .2015 to fill the -demand for lifting vessels too small to economically use theSyncrolift platform, but too large for the city's 50 ton Travelift. L 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 maWenancelconstruction projectson 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 Uiplands forming SWC 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. 4 iRI 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 q �ats° eustomexs and users; adequately °serves the pubhca:-needs, .protects{alie city's mvestment 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 theyapply. 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 pubhc. uplands:and facilities in supportof the,needs ofthe users and nsrtors 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 `zI 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. 1_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. 1:2';Interim Rentat Adjushnents. For each year W .the period between each Rental Adjustment Date; excepting the Rental Adjustment Dates, the annual rental payment shall: be increased beginning July 1, f . j and on July 1 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, AD 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 andenhancing the area as a center formarine 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. MARKETING A connprehensrve marketing program primarily targeting fisheries,ship = repair and marine transportation industries along with; a -healthy and,,- comp lementary;.mx:of : commercial support business 0 Qi �- Current city marketing efforts include.- attendance at trade' shows,- overseas trade missions, brochures and advertising.- t Maintain identification of lands available for lease. (See Appendix ExhibitE) 2. Maintain a.fair .market Value base line from'Which leases will be negotiated. 3: Maintain 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. �-: Roads. Nash :Road -provides. the :only ground access to SMIC and -the Fourth of July Creek area: To, adequately serve SNIIC ;and, attract new industries it is of- the utmostimportance to maintain and improve the public road system to -the. highest standard economically possible, to include:.paving.. i. ]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. 2. Maintain signage in parking areas in support;of the public docks: Although not directlyassociated with SMIC, having a well maintained i7 `-A At'rport 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. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES GOAL, A 'range'. of public facihtics'Arid services adequate to provide a safe'and comfortable>workenvironment;forusers 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 3_. _Support updating Seward, City codeto facilitate utility extension development. Public Safety The distance front town limits. police coverage to an -occasional patrol, and also increases fire response time. Although a ,pumper/laddertruck is located in the. harbor storage building, there are no scheduled trained fire department personnel on site to operate them. The: fire truck is staged onsite and ready for volunteer personnel. 1: Evaluate each new .development as to its impact on fire and police services. 2.
