NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The Commission finds that because the City is pursuing the purchase of Lot
77, Forest Acres Subdivision specifically for the North Forest Acres Levee Project and the
sellers have agreed to sell the property with the condition that the City enters into a lease
agreement in lieu of personal property relocation, then the recommendation to Council is to
dispose of this property by lease within the purchase negotiations. The Commission further finds
that the public benefit is well demonstrated with the requested +15,654 square foot north portion
of Lot Z7. Forest Acres Subdivision as a Public Use Easement in compliance with the
development of the North Forest Acres Levee Project.
Section 2. The Commission has reviewed the submitted proposal and makes the
following lease recommendations in the event that the purchase negotiations are successful:
a) Lessees may use only that portion of the Leased Land not subject to the Public Use
Easement as shown on Exhibit A.

but not limited to, Seward City Code Chapter 15.25 Floodplain Management.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation.

thereon which would inhibit the use of the adjacent or other lands.
