Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
Resolution No. 2015-10
Page 2 of 5
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. According to SCC 15.10.320.D., the Commission shall establish a finding that the
use satisfies the following conditions prior to granting a conditional use permit:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter (the Seward Zoning Code) and
the purposes of the zoning district.
Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions.
The property is zoned Industrial (I). The Industrial Zoning District provides an area for
business, manufacturing, processing, fabricating, repair, assembly, storage, wholesaling
and distributing operations, which may create some nuisance and which are not properly
associated nor compatible with residential land uses. It is intended to provide
environmental safeguards for people employed in or visiting the district. Some visual
amenity is expected in this district to make it compatible with adjoining residential or
business districts, SCC 15.05.025. (b) (10). Residential housing in an industrial zone is
not permitted outright due to environmental hazards and other nuisances. However,
housing in an industrial zone within a bunkhouse or employee campground is allowed by
Conditional Use Permit.
B. The value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired
Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions.
The area to the west and north is the SMIC tidelands and vacant harbor uplands. The
area to the east contains a privately owned parcel housing a communications repair
facility, a leased parcel containing a boat repair business and the City boat storage yard.
To the south is the Polar Seafoods receiving and processing plant and further to the south
is the City owned syncro-lift. The use of the proposed temporary structures to serve as
employee living quarters would have the visual appearance of an employee campground.
There is no indication the development will negatively impact the value of any adjoining
properties.
C. The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: This condition has been met.
The proposal is in harmony with the Seward 2020 Comprehensive Plan (2005) and
Strategic Plan (1999) in that both plans encourage growth of year-round business and
both support the need for housing at all economic levels.
Seward 2020 Comprehensive Plan (2005)
The Comprehensive Plan promotes commercial development within the City of Seward in
accordance with community values. Section 3.3.1.1 supports a range of housing choices that
meet the needs of people in various income and age groups (page 22).
Strategic Plan (1999)
Promote Residential and Commercial Development Inside the City. (First Bullet) Encourage
construction of residential and seasonal housing at all market levels (page 9).
17
Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
Resolution No. 2015-10
Page 3 of 5
D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions.
Water, sewer, telephone and electrical service are available within the area. Garbage
•
dumpsters are available onsite. Dinning and sanitary facility shall be provided within the
required 500 feet at the Polar Seafood facility. The applicant intends to increase the
current shower/sanitary facilities and work with the building department to assure
compliance with the building and fire code.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Finding: This condition has been met or shall be by required conditions.
There is an identified need for seasonal housing in Seward, particularly for low income
employees. The temporary structures to serve as employee living quarters will require a
temporary building permit. Temporary structures are allowed for a maximum of 180
days. Adequate fire hydrants exist within the required distances to the employee
campground. And adequate police and life safety service are available.
The area is prone to a fair amount of wildlife activity, including bears and moose.
Lighting, continued activity in the area, no food allowed in the campgrounds, proper
dumpster and trash collection as well as education of the plant employees will help
mitigate any encounters.
The Zoning Code does not have a specification for parking for employee campgrounds.
This degree of flexibility allows for site-specific projections, based on the historical use
patterns of the applicant. A ratio of one parking space to ten (1 to 10) employees at
maximum capacity has been sufficient, based on current and historic usage. Providing
adequate parking for the employees will mitigate parking concerns in the area. The
facility currently provides parking for the maximum employee projection of 50
employees; the same 32 employees will be utilizing the employee campground.
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.
1. The membrane structures to be used as temporary structures shall be permitted
annually, meet the building code requirements as adopted by the City of Seward.
2. The employee campground shall be allowed for the requested five (5) seasons.
(2015 —2019).
3. The temporary structures shall be removed at the end of the 180 day Temporary
Permit period.

Agenda Item: Resolution 2015-10 granting a Conditional Use •
Permit to Polar Seafoods to allow an employee
campground on Lot 2A, Block 9, Fourth of
July Creek Subdivision
BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION:
Polar Seafoods has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow temporary structures to
serve as employee living quarters within an employee campground on Lot 2A, Block 9, within the
Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). According to the Seward City Code, Land Uses
Allowed Table 15.10.225, employee campgrounds are allowed in the Industrial Zoning District by
CUP. This parcel is owned by the City and leased to Polar Seafoods.
The proposed campground is to be located on the northeast area of Lot 2A, Block 9, Polar
Seafoods Replat. This parcel is approximately 2 acres in size. The processing plant is located on
the dock area at the southwest end of the parcel. The area to be used as employee campgrounds is
approximately 75 x 100 feet, 7,500 square feet.
Polar Seafoods has applied for an employee campground CUP to provide temporary employee
seasonal housing where none currently exists. The applicant has stated they intend to use the
temporary housing campgrounds for a period of three (3) to five (5) years. The temporary housing
units are membrane structures and will require an annual permit and inspection from the Building
and Fire Departments. The structures will house four (4) employees each with a maximum of 8
units. The structures will be removed from the parcel each year at the end of the 180 day permit
period.
Concerns for security at the Seward Marine Industrial Center(SMIC) and life safety from wild life
shall be addressed through education of the employees by Polar Seafoods.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
The parcel is within the Industrial Zoning District. The area to the west and north is the SMIC
tidelands and vacant harbor uplands. The areas to the east include a privately owned parcel
containing a communications repair facility, a leased parcel containing a boat repair business and
the City boat storage yard. To the south is the Polar Seafoods receiving and processing plant and
further south is the City owned syncro-lift.

Floodplain status:
According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, adopted by the City of Seward, this property
has not been mapped.
Utilities:
• The required sanitary facilities shall be provided within the maximum 500 foot distance, located at
the main processing plant. Dinning and laundry facilities as well as break-room and recreation
and entertainment areas are also provided at the main processing plant.
At the time of this publication the Public Works Director, Fire Chief, Building Inspector, Police
Chief and Administration have expressed no concerns for the project. The Electric Department
has noted they are working with the applicant to provide any additional electric needs. The
Harbor Master has expressed security concerns for the private properties within the SMIC area.
Parkinj:
The Zoning Code does not have a specification for parking for employee campgrounds. This
degree of flexibility allows for site-specific projections, based on the historical use patterns of the
applicant. A ratio of one parking space to ten (1 to 10) employee at maximum capacity has been
sufficient, based on current and historic usage. The facility currently provides parking for the
maximum employee projection of 50 employees; the same 32 employees will be utilizing the
employee campground.

RESOLUTION 2015-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA,
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVE DONATING
APPROXIMATELY 1.7 ACRES OF LOT 11A, FORT RAYMOND
SUBDIVISION, REPLAT NUMBER 1, FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A
SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY WITH CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, Seward City Council held the two public hearings on Resolution 2015-020,
regarding a request from Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) for the donation of 1.8 acres
of the northern portion of Pat Williams Park; and
WHEREAS, following the public input regarding the selected location of Pat Williams
Park, the Council failed Resolution 2015-020 and suggested another location, the 1.7 acres, Lot
11A, Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat Number 1; and
WHEREAS, the Council requested the Planning and Zoning Commission hold a public
hearing on May 5, 2015 and provide Council a review and recommendation on the Lot 11A, Fort
Raymond Subdivision suggested location; and
WHEREAS,the Council will hold a public hearing on May 26, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the draft Council Resolution is attached hereto for the Commission's
review and recommendation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the request by City
Council to dispose of approximately 1.7 acres of the south section of Lot 11A, Fort Raymond
Subdivision, Replat Number 1, for development of a senior housing facility with conditions and
declared the following Findings:
A. The use as a non-income based senior housing facility is consistent with the purpose of
this chapter(the Seward Zoning Code)and the purposes of the zoning district.
Finding: This condition can be met:
Lot 11A, Fort Raymond is currently zoned Park. The zoning could be amended by City
Council Ordinance to allow the senior housing facility (multi-family residential) by
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within the following zoning districts: Multi-Family (R3);
Urban Residential (UR); Office Residential (OR); or Auto Commercial (AC). This
32
Seward Planning and Zoning
Resolution 2015-11
Page 2 of 3
rezone would be allowed by Seward City Code §15.01.035. Amendments. Once the
rezone was enacted by the City Council the use as a non-income based senior housing
development would be allowed by CUP.
B. The value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired
Finding: This condition can be met.
The adjoining properties to the north include the remainder of Lot 11A, used as the Forest
Acres Park and further out a mix of single family homes and undeveloped vacant land.
To the west is the large City owned parcel, zoned Institutional, leased to the US Army for
a resort and lodging. Areas to the southwest and south include the City owned parcel
previously leased to the US Air Force as a resort and campgrounds and a vacant parcel
abutting the Seward Highway, both parcels are zoned Institutional. The parcel to the east
is vacant and currently used for campgrounds, also zoned Institutional. There is no
indication the proposed senior housing facility will negatively impair the value of any
adjoining properties.
C. The proposed use is in harmony with the City adopted plans.
1. Comprehensive Plan, (2020—approved by Council August 8, 2005)
Finding: This condition can be met.
While not all areas of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan support Park land be rezoned and
used for development, other areas of the plan support the project and housing needs.
2. Strategic Plan, (approved by Council Resolution 99-043)
Finding: This condition can be met.
The Strategic Plan supports expanding the availability of affordable, diverse, year round
housing and encourages the construction of residential housing at all market levels.
3. Municipal Lands Management Plan (adopted by Council Resolution 2014-095)
Finding: This condition has been met.
The Municipal Lands Management Plan supports the disposal of Lot 11A, Fort Raymond
with a sound development plan. SCC 7.05.120 and 7.05.150 allows the Council to
dispose of City land by negotiation, public auction or sealed bid and at less than fair
market value with findings the public interest will be served. Disposal of this parcel for
the development of non-income based senior housing fulfills the intent of a sound
development plan.
D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Findings: This condition has been met.
33
Seward Planning and Zoning
Resolution 2015-11

All public utilities of water, sewer, and electric are available in the adjacent ROW. If any
additional utility needs arise during development they will be the sole responsibility of
the developer.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Findings: This condition can be met.
The applicant is required to obtain a City of Seward Building Permit and meet all
commercial building code and life safety requirements.
Section 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends, based on the above
findings, the Seward City Council approve the disposal of the south approximate 1.7 acres of Lot
11A, Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat, Number 1 with conditions, for development of a non-
income based senior housing facility.

From: Donna Glenz, Planner
Agenda Item: Recommendation to Council on donating 1.7 acres of Lot 11A, Fort
Raymond Subdivision for development of a senior housing facility
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
On March 23, 2015 the Seward City Council held the first of two public hearings on Resolution
2015-020, regarding a request from Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative (KPHI) for the donation
of 1.8 acres of the northern portion of Pat Williams Park for the development of a senior housing
facility. Following the public hearing, the Council amended the original resolution, downsizing
the area and amount of land to the northwest area of Pat Williams Park consisting of
approximately .7 acre. The Council also requested the Planning and Zoning Commission hold a
public hearing on April 7, 2015 to provide additional public comment time and provide a
recommendation to Council on Resolution 2015-020, as amended.
Following the public hearing on April 7, 2015 the Commission voted to fail Resolution 2015-08,
thereby recommending the council fail Resolution 2015-020. The Commission's
recommendation was moved forward to Council on April 13, 2015 where the Council failed
Resolution 2015-020 and recommended an alternate piece of property owned by the City. The
Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing and provide
recommendation on the disposal of the southern portion of Lot 11A, Fort Raymond, Replat
Number 1, approximately 1.7 acres.
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
Lot 11A, Fort Raymond Subdivision is located between the Seward Highway and Dimond
Boulevard, north of Sea Lion and south of Hemlock Avenues. The large, 4.77 acre lot was
originally deeded to the City through the municipal entitlement program. The original deed
restriction of"public recreation" has been removed. It is currently developed as a day use park
with tennis courts, TB sanitarium monument, restrooms and playground equipment. A fenced
sewer pump station is located on the north end of the parcel. The climbing pole used by the
electric department for annual "pole top rescue training" is located near the south end of the
parcel. The parcel is zoned Park. The area being considered for disposal is located on the south
end of the parcel, approximately 370 feet from the south lot line, containing approximately 1.7
acres.
The adjoining properties to the north include the remainder of Lot 11A, currently used as the
Forest Acres Park and further out a mix of single family homes and undeveloped vacant land.
To the west is the large City owned parcel, zoned Institutional, leased to the US Army for a

SEWARD CITY CODE (SCC) REVIEW
Because donating land constitutes a less than fair market value transaction, this action requires
that Council find the transaction to be in the public's interest as a condition of authorizing the
transfer as outlined in SCC§7.05.120 "The city council may acquire or dispose of an interest in
real property by negotiation, public auction, or sealed bid." And SCC§7.05.150, "(a) The city
shall not sell any real property interest without first making an appraisal of the fair market value
of that interest, unless the city council finds that the public interest will not be served by an
appraisal. And; (b) If an appraisal is made, the property interest shall not be disposed of for less
than the appraised fair market value, unless the city council finds by resolution that public
interest will be served by disposing of the property interest for less than the appraised fair
market value. " Passage of this authorization confirms this finding by council.

Dear P&Z Commissioners,
The 2015 Muni Plan does permit sale of the Fort Raymond Park property with a sound business
plan. I believe DONATING the 1.7 acres of valuable city land should also require a sound
business plan.
The Rasmuson Foundation offers a five-step predevelopment program to municipalities and non-
profit organizations to help plan successful capital projects:
http://www.rasmuson.org/index.php?switch=viewpage&pageid=141
Many Alaska nonprofits undertake capital projects, whether it's purchasing, constructing, or
renovating a facility. Effective planning in the first phase will dictate the long-term success of
the project. "Pre-development is the phase of a construction project between the idea that a
facility is needed, through to the initiation of design. Inadequate planning during this phase can
result in projects that are not sustainable in the long term.
The Program follows five steps: (1) organize the project work plan, (2) determine the need for
capital project, (3) explore alternatives, (4)define the project's scope/design, and (5) decide
whether to proceed. Organizations have access to program specialists, architects, engineers, and
other specialists as necessary to successfully complete the pre-development phase of their
project.
As noted on their website, <http://www.forakergroup.org/index.cfm?section=Shared-
Services&page=Pre-Development>the Pre-development purpose is planning Sustainable Capital
Projects, which are projects that contribute to the long-term viability of the organization and the
community it serves. Successful projects occur when planning begins early and considers
community needs, potential collaboration, organizational capacity, and sustainability.
Non-income based senior housing would be a perfect candidate for this program. The process
would be thoughtful, well-organized, involve public participation, assess the community needs,
provide expert help from trained specialists, and provide funding partners.
I urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend to Council that the applicant to use
this program to develop a non-income based senior housing project. It is a phenomenal
opportunity to do it right.
Thank you for your consideration,
Carol Griswold

Dear P&Z Commissioners,
It is deja vue all over again.
On July 13, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-65 selecting 5 acres
of the southern portion of both lots 11A and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision
#1 for the LTCF.
On January 6, 2006, Council approved Resolution 2006-04 which approves the
final site layout.
On March 7, 2006, P&Z approved replatting and rezoning of the southern 5.85
acres of the Ft Raymond Subdivisions #1.
On March 28, 2006, City Council held an executive session to discuss site
relocation based on poor geotechnical evaluations/floodplain concerns.
On June 12, 2006, City Council rejected the Fort Raymond site, lots 11A and 12A,
for the long term care facility summarized here:
"Whereas, in early 2003 the city began considering potential sites for the LTCF...
on July 13, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-65 authorizing the
use of Lots 11A and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision #1 as the site for the
new LTCF;
and a detailed site analysis was conducted including two extensive geotechnical
analyses, wetland studies, a phase 1 environmental assessment, and a flood hazard
analysis...
the extensive geotechnical analysis determined that the soils at the Fort Raymond .
site are prone to liquefaction in a seismic event to depths of 80'...
after a preliminary foundation design for this project was completed, it was
determined the seismic mitigation costs would be $1.5 million to make the current
site buildable..."
The unstable soils have not changed in 9 years and the seismic mitigation costs
will likely be even higher than $1.5 million.
45
Who will pay for the repeat of the extensive geotechnical analyses, wetland
studies, phase 1 environmental assessment and flood hazard analysis? Why should
the City leap into this site selection, knowing it was rejected previously? Why
should the citizens of Seward and the City staff spend any more time, effort, and
expense on this ill-fated site?
I urge the city to stop trying to accommodate the emergency timeline of this poorly
conceived senior housing project. Slow down, stop, and think. There is plenty of
time to do it right through the predevelopment process.
Thank you,
Carol Griswold

Kelly Hartz, inside City limits, said her home was near Pat Williams Park. Hartz was not opposed
to senior housing, but opposed the use of Pat Williams Park. Hartz pointed out the Municipal
Lands Management Plan indicated Waterfront Park should remain park land. Signatures
supporting the park had been collected and more would be gathered, Hartz said. The park area was
at risk for tsunami inundation and not suitable for senior housing, she said. Hartz also pointed out
50
City of Seward,Alaska Planning Commission Minutes

the park generated camping fee revenue. The City owns many parcels and another location could
be considered, Hartz said.
Andy Wilder, inside City, said he opposed the use of Pat Williams Park for housing. Park land
benefits the entire community, while senior housing would benefit only a few, Wilder said. A loss
of green space and new traffic patterns would reduce nearby property values, Wilder said. City
long term plans do not support the use of park areas for housing developments. The development
proposal seemed rushed and funding appeared questionable, he said.
Kathleen Barkley, inside City, said she was asked to sign petitions related to the land issue.
Barkley said some of the information she received was not accurate. Barkley said the campground
area generates revenue during a few months of the year, while seniors are in town throughout the
year. She pointed out that much of town is in a tsunami .,undation zone. Barkley said citizens
needed to give the senior housing issue more thought . j/y *solution.
Candy Norman, outside City, said she was part o , ;< Sup wo`.,ng to provide nab income based

Andrew Bacon, , t City, /d Seward needed housing across all demographic groups. He said
the proposed locati 1 for housing at Pat Williams Park would result in conflicts between
residents and campers` to noise, traffic and other issues. Bacon suggested that a larger parcel be
used to include more senior housing units.
John French, inside City, said he believed the proposed non income based housing would have no
rental subsidy, but also no rental rate cap. He said the proposed development might not be
affordable for the majority of Seward seniors. French said he opposed the City donation of any
portion of Pat Williams Park. The park land became available because of natural disaster, he said.
The Seward shoreline could be impacted by storm surges in the future, further reducing the amount
of land that could be enjoyed as park, French said.

Mike Brittain, inside City, said the proposed donation of City land was a giveaway that he
opposed. Brittain said he was in favor of senior housing, but against using a portion of Pat

Mark Kansteiner, inside City, thanked Commissioners for their work. Kansteiner said the City's
Municipal Lands Management Plan called for retaining Waterfront Park. The park generated
revenue that would surpass the dollars raised from the limited tax on paid rent by senior residents,
he said. Kansteiner read a passage written by Pat Williams, describing the attributes of the park.
Regardless of who the park was named for, public park land should r ark, Kansteiner said.
City-owned parcels on First Avenue should be considered for development, e said. Other private
and public land owners, including the Kenai Peninsula Borough, could be approached for land
donations.
Kansteiner said that if a portion of park land was give . ; •ditional ports of park could be
used for development. Pat Williams Park is a high one not suitable for devtpment, he said.
Kansteiner said the Kenai Peninsula Housing Ini ade r rence to a geotechnical analysis
for the proposed development site, but he was not a 6,4f sis being made available. It

Sue Maurice, outside City, supported senior housing and said the community needed to fmd a
solution. There were numerous vacant lots in town that might be suitable for a senior housing
development, she said.
Nan Thompson, inside City, said there was no dispute that senior housing is needed in the
community. The portion of the park that would be dedicated to the project was underutilized.
Alternatives should be downtown and within walking distance, she said.

Wadeen Hepworth, inside City, said the proposal to give away a portion of Pat Williams Park was
dividing the town's residents. There was no need to rush the project, she said. Hepworth
questioned a development strategy of having to make a quick decision in order to gain access to
potential funding. She suggested looking for additional locations for senior housing.
Matthew Hall, outside City, said the community needs housing for the working poor as well as the
elderly. He thanked the volunteers who had worked on the senior housing issue and said it was
important for community residents to provide their comments and ideas.
Linda Lasota, outside City, said senior housing was needed and the working poor need housing as
well. She objected to giving away City property for five housing units, she said. Lasota suggested
the residents of the community unite to find a better location.
Ron Wille, outside City, said he had served on local bo. .1 proposals had been presented with

for development. He wanted to know where the suggestion originated.
Diane McRae said the property site at Pat Williams Park was suggested, and the senior housing
group moved quickly. McRae said the location was not necessarily the best choice, but discussions
with other land owners had not progressed. Senior housing development efforts failed in the past,
which prompted quick action, she said.

Mel Woodard, inside City, said he wanted the Kenai Peninsula Housing Initiative to be more
forthcoming with details about the proposed senior housing project. The process should be
transparent, he said.
Katelyn Rullman, inside City, said the community conversation needed to be broadened to solve
the apparent problems. There was no need to rush with the current proposal, Rullman said.
Diane McRae said the apparent rush was due to questions about securing funding for the project.
She also said that previous failures to develop senior housing created a sense of urgency.
