CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2001-076
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The City Council finds it in the public interest to dispose of a :1::2, 100 square foot
portion of Tract B, Park Place Subdivision to Brad Snowden in exchange for a :1::1,200 square foot
right-of-way dedication to Hulm Lane from Lot IA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision in that the
proposed exchange appears to be a reasonable and fair exchange for both the City and Brad
Snowden. In addition, the exchange will ensure that a buffer of city park land remains between Hulm
Lane and the existing Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision as recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Section 2. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest to complete the transaction
described in this resolution and the attached Land Trade Agreement without completing an appraisal
of the fair market value of either property to be exchanged. The area of city-owned Tract B, Park
Place Subdivision to be disposed of to Brad Snowden is comparable in size to the area of Lot IA,
Block 7, Snowden Subdivision to be dedicated to Hulm Lane and neither of the parcels to be
exchanged are large enough to meet the minimum developable lot size requirements. For the
preceding reasons, the City Council also finds that the parcels to be exchanged are likely comparable
in value.
Section 3. The Land Trade Agreement, attached and incorporated herein by reference,
between the City of Seward and Bradley Snowden, is hereby approved in substantial form and the
City Manager is authorized to complete and execute all documents on behalf of the City as are
necessary to complete the exchange in substantial form as described in this resolution including, but
not limited to, the land trade agreement, easements, subdivision plat, closing instructions, and
quitclaim deed.
Section 4. As required by Seward City Code ~ 16.01.015(B), the City hereby consents to
the subdivision of city-owned Tract B, Park Place Subdivision, and authorizes the City Manager to
sign the final plat on behalf of the City of Seward. The transaction authorized by this resolution may
not close until after the final plat is recorded.
Section 5. The City Council hereby initiates a Land Use Plan and Zoning Amendment for that
portion of Tract B, Park Place Subdivision to be deeded to Brad Snowden from Park to Urban
Residential, and directs the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold the required public hearing and
forward a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed Land Use Plan and Zoning
amendment in accordance with Seward City Code ~ I 5.01.035.
Section 6. This resolution shall take effect 30 days after passage and posting as required by
Seward City Code ~ 7.05.140.
