hearing was opened. No one appeared to address the Council and the public hearing was closed.
Harbormaster Norm Regis said David Phillips from Raibow already had property at the
Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) and wanted to expand, perhaps adding a building for
housing maintenance workers. This property would be adjacent to Phillips' existing property.
In response to Squires,Regis said Phillips would be fencing this lot only,and would not be
combining adjacent lots this time.This lot would be used for boat storage.Regis corrected his earlier
statement by saying that the building to be erected would be for the storage of tools and equipment
only and not for workers. There was electric in place to the corner of the lot,but no water or sewer;
water and sewer were on the next street over.
In response to Squires,Regis said the building permit and construction would be one to two
years down the road. Squires said that any building that was occupied required sanitation,according
to city building codes, and suggested that the building be put on the adjacent lot that already had
sewer on it.
In response to Butts, Regis said Lot 4 was the adjacent lot. Regis confirmed that this lease
was for 20 years, plus two 5-year extensions. If the lots were combined in the future, both leases
would be renegotiated and combined into one lease. In response to Squires, Long said if council
approved combining the two lots; it would be up to the property owner to vacate the property line.

Squires asked if the FIRM maps were available to the public and Long said they were
available for viewing at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Annex office at Seaview,and online through
the borough's website. The Community Development Department also had them available in their
office for public viewing.
McClure asked, if this was adopted tonight, would the resolution move to the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Assembly, and Long said SBCFSAB was advisory so the borough would have
the same consideration before them in the future.
Squires asked if the only change from 2013 to now was an update on the dates, and Long
confirmed it was.
