D. Public Services andfacilities are adequate to serve the proposed site. Adequate water, sewer, and power are available to the property, as well as adequate police and solid waste disposal services. According to Seward Fire Chief, Dave Squires, the proposed structure exceeds the Seward Fire Department's capability to reach the top floor, and the roof, from the outside, and the Fire Department does not have the necessary equipment to handle a large fire at this structure. These concerns are noted by the Commission, and the applicant is aware of this situation. The Commission also recognizes that the higher parts of the structure are not intended for human habitation, and the proposed building height does not negatively impact existing road access for emergency services vehicle response. The purpose of the weather cover is to enclose the existing ship repair operations and provide workers with a protected work environment. Furthermore, a condition ofthe building permit approval requires that the applicant provide a fire hydrant on the property within 225 feet of the building in order to improve fire response services at the site. Based on this analysis, the Commission finds that the public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed site, except restricted fire response to a significant fire as described in an October 25, 2000 Memorandum to Linda-Rae Olsen, Planning Clerk from David Squires, Fire Chief. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. The proposed canopy will not increase the occupied levels beyond the current use ofthe existing structures. It does not appear that the proposed building height will have any negative impact on existing air travel patterns. Furthermore, there are no adjoining residential structures, or intensely occupied commercial structures, that would be at risk from a catastrophic failure of the structure. In a October 2, 2000 letter to the applicant, Dave Calvert, Manager of Engineering and Utilities, tentatively approved the construction plans for the proposed structure with the following conditions: 1) Building setbacks must be maintained at 20 feet on at least three adjoining sides; 2) A fire hydrant must be installed on the leased property within 225 feet of the building which is capable of delivering the same amount of water as the existing system on your leased property; and 3) Meeting any conditions imposed upon this project by the Planning and Zoning Commission. With these required conditions, it does not appear that the proposed building height will be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects to the proposed use.
