From: Jackie C. Wilde,Planner
Agenda Item: Resolution of the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, recommending city
council approval of the rezoning of Lot B1 Forest Acres Levee
Replat, from Resource Management (RM) to Auto Commercial
(AC), and vacation of interior utility easement
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Seward City Council is
Resolution 2018-002 recommending City Council approval, amending the Land Use Plan and
ReZone of Lot B1 Forest Acres Levee Replat from Resource Management (RM) To Auto
Commercial (AC)Zoning and vacating the 10' utility easement that bisects the property.
The applicant has stated that they wish to bring the Lot into conformance with the City of
Seward Future Land Use Map by changing the zoning to Auto Commercial (AC). The applicant
further states that they would like to vacate the interior utility easement that bisects Lot B 1.
The 10' utility easement in question was permitted to GCI on May 22,2012. This easement was
originally dedicated to run along the lot line of Tract B of Dieckgraeff-Gillespie Replat. As part
of the Forest Acres levee road project,the City of Seward entered into a settlement agreement
with the applicant to exchange lands,resulting in the creation of Lot B1. Lot B1 was platted to
include a 10' utility easement along the West and North lot lines.
Comments from interested parties were solicited by staff, and no objections to the utility
easement vacation were received. The Seward Electric Department specified that the utility
easements bordering the lot to the West and North must be retained. GCI specifically stated in an
email that they had no objection to the vacation of the easement.
Per Kenai Peninsula Borough code, the applicant will need to submit a Petition to Vacate Utility
Easement to the KPB Planning Department. Kenai Peninsula Borough Code §20.70.050 (D)
further states that "comments from the city advisory planning commission must be submitted
with the petition." If this application is approved, the applicant will be provided copies of the
Resolution and meeting minutes for submission to the Kenai Peninsula Borough.

Through Ron Long, Assistant City Manager
From: Jackie C. Wilde, Planner
Agenda Item: Resolution of the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission,
recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough approval of the Cliff
Addition Thomas Replat Number Two, a re-subdivision of Lot
15A Block 6 Cliff Addition Thomas Replat, creating two lots
known as Lot 15B and 16B
BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Planning Commission is a preliminary plat submitted by Johnson Surveying on behalf of
property owner Arthur R. Thomas Jr.
This platting action is a subdivision of Lot 15A, Block 6, Cliff Addition to the Seward Townsite,
Thomas Replat creating two (2) lots to be known as Lots 15B and 16B, Cliff Addition, each new
lot containing approximately 5,414 and 4,614 square feet, respectively. The replat is located at
1306 Vista Avenue between Mill Street and Ravina Street, within the Single Family Zoning
District.
The parent plat is the original 1915 Cliff Addition to Seward Townsite, the first replat of this
property in 1996 was titled Cliff Addition to Seward Townsite, Thomas Replat. Staff
recommends the title be consistent in following the previous replat and be amended to "Cliff
Addition to Seward Townsite Thomas 2018 Addition". Staff further recommends that the
preliminary plat be changed to label the Lots 15B and 16B, so as to provide continuity between
neighboring lots 14 and 17.
The 1996 replat vacated the interior lot line between Lots 15 and 16, creating Lot 15A. The
current platting action effectively reverses the 1996 replat. In order to meet development
requirements for building setbacks, the applicant had to shift the proposed lot line approximately
4 feet to the south of where the original lot line existed.
Seward City Code 15.10.220 Development Requirements were amended by City Council in
January 2017 to allow the replatting of lots containing less than 6,000 square feet. This replat
will require an exception to Kenai Peninsula Borough Subdivision Code 20.30.190.

Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
Agenda Statement—Resolution 2018-003
Page 2 of 3
SUBDIVISION REVIEW:
Zoning:
This replat is located within the Single Family Zoning District. Properties to the North and
South are also zoned Single Family. Parcels to the east across the alley are zoned Single Family
and parcels to the West across Vista Avenue are zoned Single-family.
Utilities:
The property is served by the existing public utilities and maintained streets, therefore a
subdivision agreement is not required. Existing water, sewer and electric lines are located in the
adjacent rights-of-way.
Existing Uses:
The North lot to be known as Lot 15B currently contains a single family home. The preliminary
plat shows two encroachments from Lot 15B into the platted and undeveloped 20' alley to the
east. The surveyor stated that the property owner can have the shed moved out of the alley right
of way prior to final plat approval. The chain link fence that encroaches approximately 1 foot
over the lot line was erected without a building permit; since building code IRC 105.2(2) does
not require a permit for fences under 7 feet. Per city code 7.05.515, it is the City's policy not to
allow new or unauthorized encroachments into any public right-of-way, land or easement. The
code further states that it is not in the public interest to allow encroachments to be perpetuated
beyond their depreciable life, enlarged, expanded, or improved upon.
The lot to the South to be known at Lot 16B is undeveloped, aside from an approximately 30
foot gravel driveway installed along the north lot line off Vista Avenue. Creation of Lot 16B will
not result in any new encroachments or expanded nonconformities.
Flood Zone:
The area is not located within a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Public Comment:
Property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed platting action were notified of
this public hearing. Public notice signs were posted on the property and all other public hearing
requirements of Seward City Code §15.01.040 were complied with. At the time of publication
the Community Development Department had received no public inquiries. If any
correspondence is received after publication of this agenda statement, it will be presented as a lay
down item at the Commission meeting.
Staff Comment:
Staff has reviewed the replat and no objections to the replat were reported. Staff suggests that the
property owner install additional protection around the electrical pedestal that is located near the
lot line that separates Lot 15A and Lot 15B.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Planning and Zoning Resolution 2018-003 recommending the Kenai Peninsula
Borough approval of the Thomas Replat No. 2 subject to the Conditions listed in the Resolution.

Programs
• The Community Book Club will be meeting on Saturday,March 17,2018 at 11am in the upstairs meeting
room to discuss The Eternal Wonder,a recently discovered novel written by Nobel Prize Winning Author,Pearl
S.Buck at the end of her life in 1973.
o The Eternal Wonder tells the coming-of-age story of Randolph Colfax,or Rann, a gifted young man
whose search for meaning and purpose leads him to New York, England,Paris,on a mission patrolling
the DMZ in Korea that will change his life forever—and,ultimately,to love. Rann falls for the beautiful
and equally brilliant Stephanie Kung,who lives in Paris with her Chinese father and has not seen her
American mother since abandoned at six years old. Separated for long periods of time,their final reunion
leads to a conclusion that even Rann, in all his hard-earned wisdom,could never have imagined.
• Story Time is every Friday at 11am in the Children's Room. It's becoming the place to be on Friday
mornings for children and care givers alike with over 30 people coming to Story Time most Fridays. February's
story times has been incorporating American Sign Language into the program while partnering with the Alaska
Sea Life Center and incorporating the Museum every month within the program. We are striving to make this
event fun for everyone, regardless of whether you are a kid or not,with fun songs,stretching,crafts,and
exploring our world through stories.
• Museum Story Time will be on Friday,February 23 at 11am in the Museum. This month Curator Maddi will
be talking about all the quilts that are within the museum collection,accompanied with explaining how a blanket
can tell a story.
• Homeschool Lunch Bunch is Wednesday,February 28 at 12:30-1:30pm in the Young Adult
Room. February is Black History Month and we plan on talking about African-American literature during Lunch

• 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a simple program designed to increase the development of early literacy
skills in young children from birth to 5 years of age. The goal to read 1000 books is broken down by 10 levels
with a 100 books each. The best part is that you can count the same book over again when your child asks you to
"Read it again,please!" We're thrilled to share that our first participant to reach 900 books,a three-year-old
child,is on her way to reaching the goal of 1,000 books! Stop by the library front desk to register and pick up a
reading log to start your first 100 books with your child.
• The Museum Window Display is a short history of clubs and associations in Seward. It includes photographs,
newspaper articles,and artifacts detailing the history of organizations in Seward including the Odd Fellows,
Pioneers,Masons,and more. It will be on view until the end of February,so stop by and check it out!

• The February Artifact of the Month is a Sanborn Cardiograph.Made for the Seward General Hospital circa
1950,the cardiograph was used to record the electrical activity of the human heart over a period of time.
Electrodes placed on the skin would send data to the cardiograph,which would record the data onto a roll of
paper. It was donated to the Resurrection Bay Historical Society by the Seward General Hospital in 1983.

ELECTRIC
• For the lagoon project,we have received the cross arms and we are now waiting on just the tap wire to move
forward with the undergrounding.
• We had the outage scheduled on Friday, February 8t to replace cut-outs in the Fort Raymond substation. We
attempted to coordinate with the borough schools and Seward Fish with a good time to plan the outage.
• The outage for the AT&T cell phone tower was very challenging due to the lack of access to the site and winter
conditions. The crew managed to install a temporary repair to re-energize the tower,but the crew will need to go
back this construction season to complete the permanent repairs.
• The presentation with the RCA on the USO concept seemed to go well and they seemed to be pleased with the
progress the utilities are making in that direction.
• PACAB passed a resolution to explore acquiring additional shares of Bradley Lake. I support studying the
possibility and I have already started exploring this option;when I have something substantial I will bring to
council for a vote.
• Met with the Harbor and their contractors about replacing the underground line beneath the South Boat Launch
Ramp in conjunction with the construction. This sounded like it was reasonably probable and would save the City
money.
• Jeff and Vernon were in Anchorage the week of February 5-9 for Alaska Certified Erosion and Sediment Control
Lead(CESCL)training. This is mandatory by DOT for any engineering and construction on the Seward Highway
Right of way.
• I was unable to travel to Anchorage for the Battle Creek Project meeting on Thursday, February 8h. This meeting
was scheduled by Alaska Energy Authority to Meet the contractors,go over the construction schedule and learn
how to access the project documents through Project SharePoint. Generally,we will be able to rely on Chugach
Electric and Homer Electric to acutely monitor the project because they have similar interests to ours. The City of
Seward ended with a 1.3%share of the additional capacity from the Battle Creek project.
• Lee Thibert,CEO Chugach Electric, indicated he would be willing to come to a City of Seward Council Meeting
to talk about and answer questions about the proposed ML&P merger. Specifically, if there are any concerns and
how it might affect the City of Seward rate payers.
FINANCE
• The new electric winter rates will be reflected on this month's utility bills,with a winter residential rate of
$0.0797(a reduction from the current rate of$0.08295)and a small general service rate of$0.09017(a reduction
from the current rate of$0.126784). The Cost of Power Adjustment(Chugach's portion of the bill)will be down
slightly to$0.1137, from the current$0.1167. The fuel adjustment factor which affects only the special contracts,
is increasing from$0.078938 to$0.096261 due primarily to a 2017 3'h Quarter Chugach true-up of estimated
version actual fuel costs.
• The finance department will be submitting the 2018/2019 Biennial Budget to the Government Finance Officer's
Association Budget Awards Program, for the first time this year. The awards program requires the addition of a
number of schedules and information to the budget document,which will delay the finalization of the document
by approximately one additional week. The document is expected to be available to the public on or about
February 28.

• Staff are completing the year-end close of the City's books,and coordinating with the Community Health Center,
Providence, and the Alaska Sealife Center for information needed in preparation for our annual audit. We have
also been coordinating with ITRON to ensure that the proper equipment is available to facilitate mobile meter
reading capabilities and redundancy,and that software upgrades are complete,as well as with Harris Northstar,to
update numerous software modules to allow for mass meter exchange, improved customer payment options,and
incorporate the most recent major software upgrades. Finally,we have been collecting data on all meters in the
utility service area to forward to the meter exchange vendor in order to ease the transition to electronic meters,
and reduce any change for billing errors.
