COMMISSION, EXTENDING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, ISSUED TO BRAD
SNOWDEN ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1996 FOR DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A
HOTEL ON ALASKA RAILROAD LEASE PROPERTY WITHIN THE SMALL BOAT
HARBOR, UNTIL MAY 8, 1997
WHEREAS, on September 4, 1996, the Planning & Zoning Commission issued an
amended Conditional Use permit to Brad Snowden for the development and operation of a hotel
on Alaska Railroad lease property in the Small Boat Harbor; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Code stipulates that an approved conditional use permit lapses
six (6) months after approval if no building permit is procured or if the allowed use is not
initiated; and
WHEREAS, to date a building permit has not been procured and the conditional use has
not been initiated; and
WHEREAS, SCC S 15.10.320 (E) allows the Commission to grant time extensions not
to exceed six months each upon a finding that circumstances have not changed sufficiently to
warrant a reconsideration of the approval of the CUP; and
WHEREAS, on February 19, 1997, the applicant requested a six month time extension
of the amended CUP.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. Additional information is needed from the developer in order for the
Commission to determine whether or not circumstances have changed sufficiently to warrant a
reconsideration of the approval of the amended Conditional Use Permit issued to Brad Snowden
on September 4, 1996.
Section 2. In order for the permittee to provide additional information to the Commission,
the Conditional Use Permit issued to Brad Snowden on September 4, 1996 is hereby extended
