SEWARD MARINE INDUSTRIAL CENTER
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTIbN Duririg the mid-1970is, the City began developing a plan to create an
industrial complex at the Fourth of July Creek area to service the maritime indu~try. The city
annexed the valley in 1977, acquired lands through the Alaska Statehood Act: Municipal'
. Entitlement and completed the 1979 Fourth of luly Creek Industrial Development Feasibility
Study. That study identified four examples of industries that would be more likely than others
to locate in the Fourth of July Creek area: fisherieS, shipyard, petrochemical processing and
heavy industry such as ore refining and bulk freight handling. .
.' .
. The foundation for the project was a shipbuilding facility proposed by the Danish firm Burmeister-
Wain to meet the high demand for new vessels in the king crab fisheries. With the crash of the .
fish stock in 1980, the project evolved into a mix of ship repair facilities, general cargo, fisheries
processing, and other industrial uses. The project today is essentially as described in the 1980
Century-Quadra report entitled Fourth of luly Creek Industrial Marine Park Project Description
arid shown on Figure 2 - Project Overview and Figure 3 - Site PIan (Appendix Exhibits C &0).
Upon completion oia comprehensive 1981 EnVironmental Impact Assessment,the City emb~ked
on a multi-year construction project that ultimately invested the majority of the city's share of the
port' botids and state oil revenues' in an acceSs road, the relocation of Fourth of July Creek. a
retairiingdike, basin, breakwa~r and shiplift. The total investment to date is approximately $4S
million. . >.
. .
Access, utilities and land availability helped spawn development of the sawmill and the prison
within the boundaries of the Fourth of July Creek valley complex. Although the shiplift has been
operational since 1985, no major development activity has occurred in the portion known as the
Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). . .
THE PLAN
. . The Seward Marine Industrial Center Management Plan is a direct outgrowth of the
community's desire to enhance, encourage and promote an atmosphere favorable for additional
private sector economic ~evelopinent at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. For the purpose
of this plan. the Seward Marine Industrial Center.is considered to include the :1:100 acres
immediately adjocenl to the harbor basin, south of Spring Creek aird ~t of the prison property.
(Appendix Exhibit A and B)'
SMJC DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1_.,. 4, 1 ",

. ,
The Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan becomes a component of the City of
Seward Com.prehensive ~lan. Wher~ the comprehensive p~ contains bo.th lIc1vi!lnry and hincling
elements, thiS plan contains only advISOry elements cornpnsed of goals, Issues and actions. The
binding element of the comprehensive plan is'the Land Use Plan which is a legal document that
must be adhered to aDd can be revised only by ordinance.' ,
As ,part of. the process of finalizing the Plan, the City solicited initial suggestions from various
, public bOards and commissions and interested groups such as the Seward Chamber of Commerce. .
" The draft plan was preser1ted to the public at advertised public hearings and through review by the
aforementioned groups. The issues raised and recommendations made by those individuals and
organizations are reflected iiJ this document.
An effective plan is one which,is implemented. The City' of Sewar~ has a track record of
, ' accomplishing aCtions outlined in its plans. Recommendations frOm previous plans that have been
accomplished within the SMIC area include: ' '
, , Syncrolift with upland raii system;
250 ton Travelitl; ,
Bulk fuel facility; ,
430' North Dock;
Inlet Salmon dock and plant;
" Electrical substation;
Secondary sewer treatment plant;
Primary electrical, water and sewer systems; and
Preliminary real estate subdivision plat .
h
BASIC MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Basin, envisioned by the 1980 Century-Quadra concept was enclosed, protected and dredged
to -21 feet mean lower low water(MLLW) to accommodate medium draft vessels for ship repair,.
cargO off loading and general moorage. The basin has been dredged to design with -25 foot berths
adjacent to the Shiplift Dock and the North Dock. TIle basin is protected by a rip rap breakwater
along the east shoreline, by a filled sheet pile cell breakwater along the south aild southwest, and
by sheet piling along a section of the North' Dock.. It is still open to the bay along the west and
northwest sides. .
1. The unenclosed basin allows swells and surges which inCreases loading/off' loading time,
contributes to the damage of dock facilities and increases the potential for accidents.

a. Construct a north-south system of interconnecting sheet pile cellular cofferdams to
create the North Breakwater to enclose and protect the basin. "
b. Extend the system of interconnecting self standing sheet pile cells 200 feet westward'
from the end of the North Docie to the North Breakwater when it is completed.
c. Continue to work with the Corps of Engineers to review the feasibility of 80% federal
funding involvement in the breakwater projects.
2. Unlike a rock rip rap breakwater; the gravel" filled interconnecting sheet~ile" cellular:

a. Repair and repla,ce sheet pile corrosion coating as necessary. "
b. Monitor and repair cathodic protection"sy~temas needed.
Docks" described in the 1980 Cenrury-Quadra concept ," included" an 'inner dock along the north'
basin shoreline, deepwater sheet pile cell breakwater and dock enclosing the basin,' a ship repair

Shiplift Operations are divided between the mobile 250 ton Travelift and the 5600 long
Syncrolift platform. The Syncrolift was an integral part of the original SMIC concept plan. The
Travelift was purchased and put into operation by the City in 1990 to fiU. the demand for lifting
vessels too small to economically. use the Syncrolift platform, but too. large for the city's SO ton
. Tra'velift.. .

2. The SynCrOUft was intended to be operated under a multi':u~r. c,on.cqJt. in 9rder "to attract the
traffic flow necessary to have a viable and self-supporting ship repair !acUity. Due to a lack of
revenues over the last ten years, $500,000 in deferred maintenance -items have been identified for
the SyncroIift operation." . .. "".." . " .. . . " ...

e. Re-coat pipe and sheet piling to protect from corrosion. .
" .
The UpJ8llds fanning SMIC were for the most part created from the material dredged during the "
formation of the basin. The original design called for a grade of 18 feet aboveMLLW. The roads
are to grade, but some of land is ~ow desired grade. Dtainage ditches were placed along Delphin
" and Olga Streets and the north property line divert water runof~ in the summer. ".

MANAGEMENT ,
Dislance from town and the remote location of SMIC make it difficult to adequately manage the
area. Security and con~ms related to potential environmental pollution gtowas the number of
boats, cargo and equipment on site increase. Deferred maintenance on the Syncrolift has risen' ,
due to limited funding'and staff. Insufficient revenueS have not allowed for effective on site
management and security of this public facility. This places per$Onnelin a reactive or corrective
mode of operation. Adequate manning levels would protect existing, fac;i1ities and aid iri attracting .
new business to the complex. ' '
I
. -. .
1. Seek a rateof return from the Use of public facUities, land assets arid equipment that ,will
adequately cover deferred maintenance and replacement costs.
. .
. 2. '\Vhere.'possible privatize current public facilities providCd the public is guaranteed lbe sam~
'or better se'rvice at an equal. or lower cost. ' , ,
- .: . .
3. ,~op a ~anning: plan, including an evaluation o( how this might be accomplished by police;
harbor employees, private contracted services or a combination of all three, tb provide:
a. security coverage of the industrial complex and adjacent developn:Jent areas,.
b. wharfinger services for dock management, scheduling, revenue collection, and proper' '
use of the facilities to prevent damage. . ' ,
c. full 250 ton Travelift oPerations and monitoring of environmental concerns, garbage
control, and general use of City property.' .,
, . d. . NEl Syncrolift and Lloyd's Register of Shipping recommended manning level of two
full-time maintenance/operators and one staffelecmcian.
LAND USE
Platting SMIC is comprised of numerous land parcels acquired through municipal entitlement,
and land trades. Roads and lease development have tended 'to cross property lineS making'it
difflcult to accurately describe small land parcels. The city has formulated a preliminary.'
subdivision of SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek Valley. The subdivision pJat dedicates roads, '
Sidle DEVELOPNE>IT Pl.AN J......... ,..s

"
and provides an as:"built of utility and access easements. It creates legal lots for those existing.
leases and leaves the majority of the SMIC area in blocks.. . . .
1. Finalize the subdivision plat of the Fourth of July Creek area including SMIC.
2. Maintain an accurate map through the survey and plat amendment for all futUre leases.
. ..
Land Values In aider to provide adequate public services and maintenance at S~UC. .it is
important that the city receive a fair market value for the use of its limited land assets. An
appraisal of all city lease lands is being initiated with ~ew values to be in place no later than July
. 1995. . . .. . .
1. Complete a fair market appraisal of all city lands to establish. base line land values to be used
in lease negotiations. ...... .
2. Ensure that lease values remain current over time through either periodic appraisals or tied to
a consumer price index.
Land Uses1beSMIC is.zoned Industrial. TheSe~ Zoning Code, Table IS.10~22S Land
. Uses Allowed establishes what uses are allowed within that district. Uses allowed. within the
SMIC should .focus on. strengthening and enhancing the. area as a center for marine anl1 other. . .
compatible industries without unduly detra~ting from.the traditional downtown retail add.service
district.
1. Review Table 15.10.225 to ensure th~ uses listed are compatible with the o~erall intent of the.
SMIC area, mm necessary revisions and con,sider ~ zoning overlay for SMIC to distinguish it .. ..
. from other industrial areas within the community... . , . .
. .
2~ BeCaUse of factors such as lliiIited waterfront. the shiplift transfer system, docksand.lOQitlon, .
. industrial center lands should have designated priority uses; (Ap,pcmdix Exhib~t E) . .
a. The immediate waterfront and shoreline should be for marine dependent uses. .
b. COmmercial Support development are encouraged to be in B~ock 3 and along the =f:.ioo
feet immediately adjacent to the east side of Nash Road between JeUisonandMorris Avenues.
c. The large areas adjacent to the North Dock should remain public as a cargo staging and
dock support area.. . .
d. Land immediately adjacent to th.e shiplift rails and transfer system should be used for
. ..
ship repair services.
e. All other areas are for general commercial and industrial uses.
5~ Although the current boat storage area in Block 4 is identified as being available for. tease as.
a large tract, the cost of bringing altema~ land up to grade, relocating utilities, and repair stations,. ,.

and TJ'avelift costs to relocate vessels to a new boat storage area should be considered during any
lease negotiations.
. Parks and Recreation. Understate statutes, the city is required to provide public access
along Spring Creek; Fourth of July Creek and Resurrection Bay . Although ,the area IS principally
industrial, limited recreation opportunities can be made available 'without i~terfering with
. surrounding industrial uses.
. .
. .' .
1. Maintain 'access from Nash Road to the mouth of Spring Creek and provide a primItive boat
. launch ramp and camping~. .
2. Address the zoning co~flict of a campground in an industrial zone.
MARKETING
.-
Past city m~ketiDg efforts, hay~ included attendance at trade' shows, overseas trade missions,
brochures and a full time ma,keting staff. Budget constraints have drastically, curtailed these
activities,. and as a result there continues to be'a void in business deVelopment at SMIC. .
\..
1. Identify lands available for lease. (see AppendiX Exhibit F)
2. Establish a fair market value base line from which leases will be negotiated.
3. Consider hiring a marine marketing c:onsultant to develop an SMIC marketing strategy to
include:
, a: . Primary business targets wh~h provide repair and other service,S in support of the
ffSheries and marine transportation industries~ i.e. props, nets, welding, painting, fiberglass,
refrigeration, transpiration, electronics, mechanical repair, etc. '
b. Secondary non':marlne support business targets servicing the primary industrial.
development i.e. diner, retail parts supply store, convenience store; 'etc.
" . c. A marketing brochure for the SMIC area. ' ,
d. . Active promotion through marine/business publications, requests for propoSals, and .
. '. persOnal contacts. '
'. e.Incentive leases based on a cost/benefit analysis.
. 4. Erect a sign along Nash Road and central to the SMIC area showing what lands are available
for lease. . .

capacity, the city should not preclude development in the SMIC/Fourth. of July Creek area that
might benefit from rail service. . .
1. Consider updating the rail spur feasibility study to include a rail barge service between the
Alaska Railroad (ARR) dock and Fourth of July Creek industrial area.:. ..
2.. Identify possible rail barge site locations in the Fourth of luly Creek area..

1. Continue to work with the Alaska Department of TranspOrtation and Public Facilities to
improve ail]'Ort facilities and protect it from river flooding and erosi.on.. .
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Public FaCilities range from limited to nonexistent. Current available facilities consist of one
pay phone, two portable tOilets, two water outlets and six electrical stations. ,. ..
1. Include construction of a.pubJic restroom/shower facility in the city's capital project plan.
2. Work With GTE to install additionai public pay phone stations.
. Public Safety in the imJustrlal center is affected by.funding and distance. Limited resources .
have not allOwed the City to provide full police and fire protection afforded to the remainder of. .
the community. The distance from town limits police coverage to an occasional drive-by, arid.
also increases fire response time. Although a pumper and crash b'uck are located in the harbor
storage building, there are no scheduled trained fire department personnel on site to opcratethem.
1. Evaluate each new development as to its impact on fire and police services.
2. Complete water system to loop all lines or upsize all cross feeder lines and prQvide additio~aI . .
~~~. ..
3. Include a separate fire station in capital project plan, to accomml?<iate moreandlor.larger .
equipment and supplies to support increased industrial development. .:

sufficient on site fire suppression systems to preclude endangering the city's.lSO fire iating.
6.. Explore possible co-operative arrangements with Spring Creek 'Correctional Facility staff to
provide initial tire or other public safety needs. . .' " . . .
Public Utilities such as primary water, sewer. ~nd electrical service systems' have not been
extended throughout the undeveloped SMIC areas.. (Appendix Exhibit G) The cost of exten4ing
these utilities creates a disincentive to the'establishment of smaller businesSes.' .... .
I. Improve the water and electrical systems in areas associ~ with the 250 . ton . TraveUft. to
accommodate increased public use. . .' .

ENVIRONl\lENT AND WAS1$MANAGEMENT
Environmental Concerns The objective 'of the City is to maintain a clean ~ork enviroiiinent
and to protect the land to the highest degree possible without making the area'prohibitive for the
type of activities associated withindustriaI areas. .
. . .
1-. Develop a comprehensive environment:aI plan to cover anticipated events in the industrial .
complex while maintaining compliance with the rules and regulations of the. Environme!1tal
. Protection Agency and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. '. .
2. &tabliShpoIicies and procedures for monitoring and ensuring vessel storage/repair si~ clean

6. Assign personnel to (I) monitor all work; (2) have the authority to deny/stop work on vessels
for just-cause; (3) have the authority to enforce clean-up prior to ,the release of a vessel; (4)
report any seepage or spill to the proper authorities; and, (5) require the' generator to immediately
clean-up hazardous materials.
7. Make ~very effort to, transfer the entire burden 'of compliance with present or future
environmental regulations or controls to lessees with regard to their operations on leased land.
Waste Management is integtal, to managIng a succeSsful indusmal area where large amounts
,of solid and hazardous waste are generated. Separation of steel. wood and general garbage is
required at the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) solid waste facility. It is illegal to dump waste
oil in solid waste containers. '
1. Prepare and implement a program to control the separation. collection and disposal of solid and,
haZardous waste generated at the industrial center, in accordance with, established enviromnental
policIes and regulations/requirements of the KPB solid waSte facility. '"
2: 'Continue to improve Waste oil collection procedures. and,disposal facilities' to meet' the demands
ofusergrOl;!PS and ~ens~.a.. clean 'environment. Monitor waste oil to p~t illegal dumping,

3. Improve methods to monitor waste material disposal to control and reduce the costS associated
with the collection of waste materials.
APPEARANCE
LandsCaping and Beautification Industrial areas do not have to be barren a,nd devoid of
natural aesthetics. An atmosphere that is pleasant and attractive to users and visitors alike can be
cultivated and accomplished th~ugh thoughtful planning arid landscaping efforts., '
1. RequlCe fencing of all lease sites to clearly delineate property lines and to contain the sprawl
, of unsightly equipment and materials. .

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
For the City of Seward to realize the benefits of the SMIC Development Plan and thereby ensure
sound growth and development, actions must be taken not only by the City of Seward~ but by
many other players within the community,. the borough. and tbe state. . ..
Following are specific actions which. are neceswy to ensure the successful implementition of this .
plan: .
Adopting a Plan shows commitmeilt and establishes policy. Council shoUld,by resolution, ..
adopt the plan based upon recommendations of the Port and Commerce Advisory Board and the
Planning. and Zoning Commission. . .
. .
. Use the plan to guide the City of Seward in tht appropriate quality growth and development
of the SMIC. Consistent with its original intent, the plan wiD remain flexible. While it is . . .
. intended that all actions presented in this plan will be implemented, it. is reCognized that ch~ging -
conditions in the future may necessitate m.odifications of planned actions or the in~uction of
additional Jicnons to satisfy Iocal needs. The City recognizes. the critiCal rol~ of plans as key .
program documents to guide the community's capital budgeting process .~ . .
. Nonnally, the City revisits its comprehensive plan annually with an overall update every five.
. years. Forat least two reasons; it is strongly urged that the SMIC De"elopment Pt3nbe reviewed .
. annually and updated within three years. An annual review will help track accomplishments,
Changes and inadvertent omissions. With the dynamic changes that are occurring daily, it i.s.vital
that the community has up-ta-date information relative ~ maintaining. a competitive and. viable.
industrial complex. . Future updates shoul~ be expanded to include the entire valley area. . . .
