Agenda Item: Approving the submittal of the Kenai Peninsula Borough petition to vacate
and recommending approval of the vacation of the 200 foot number 3
water well easement located in the Fort Raymond Subdivision, south of
Sea Lion Drive
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In 1986 the City of Seward platted and dedicated water well easements for four (4) public water
wells. Three of these water well easements are predominantly on the current Lot 7A, Fort
Raymond Subdivision. Water well easement number 4 and portions of well number 3 easement
are located on Lot 6A -1 of the Fort Raymond Subdivision.
Well number 3 has been officially decommissioned, filled and abandoned in place; therefore the
200 foot number 3 water well easement is no longer necessary. Staff has worked with the State
of Alaska Drinking Water Program to accept the water well decommission and recommends the
vacation of the unnecessary easement.
Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 20.28.100 requires the consent of City Council to vacate any
easement located within the City. Seward City Code 7.05.510 (D) allows the City Manager, at
the direction of the City Council, to relinquish any real property easement, whenever the interest
is no longer used or needed.
