Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
Resolution 2006-22
Page 3 of5
The Comprehensive Plan states "Relocate the long-term care facility and the hospital to a site
which will support expansion and modernization." (page 27).
Stratel!ic Plan (1999)
The Strategic Plan states "We are a community that provides an integrated array of health care
services designed to protect and improve the quality of life for all citizens". (page 19)
D. Public Services andfacilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Finding: This finding shall be met. Tract A is currently a large undeveloped parcel
with no infrastructure. The required infrastructures planned for this development project
will not only serve the new LTC facility but also will also provided improvement to the
surrounding neighborhood.
All public utility easements required onsite shall be provided by recorded document and
there shall not be any encroachments, above or below ground, in the utility easements.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Finding: This finding shall be met. The campus and facility will benefit the
community in public safety, health, and welfare. This is the very nature of the facility.
There is no reason to believe that the LTC facility would increase crime in the
neighborhood; the campus shall be trash free with well-groomed and maintained grounds,
and noise pollution should be non-existent. Extensive planning and study have gone into
the planned traffic routes to and from the facility and it is believed that the LTC facility
will have minimal traffic impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. There is more than
ample parking planned for the facility and plenty of additional land available for future
needs.
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 related to the proposed use.
l. Modifications to the site plan dated August 24, 2006 which was approved by the
Commission as a supporting document for this Conditional Use Permit shall be
approved by staff or the Commission prior to implementation.
2. Bear safe trash containers shall be used on the premises.
3. Maple Street shall be developed to allow year round ingress and egress for tractor
trailers from Dimond Boulevard to the Commons Building.
4. Development within 100 (one hundred) feet of Afognak Avenue, Cottonwood and
Maple Streets will be restricted to 10 (ten) resident homes effectively screening
