Ballou, MMC City Clerk (City Seal) 7/113 P&Z Agenda Statement Meeting Date: August 6, 2019 Through: Jackie C. Wilde, Planner From: Andy Bacon, Planning Assistant Agenda Item: Planning and Zoning resolution recommending City Council approval of the re-zoning of the west half of Federal Addition Blocks 7, 14, and 17, except Lot 7-8 Block 17, from Single Family Residential (R1) and Two Family Residential (R2) to Office Residential (OR) BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Seward City Council is Resolution 2019-013 recommending that City Council approval of the attached Ordinance 2019- amending the zoning designation of Lots 7-12 Block 7, 7-12 Block 14, and 9A-12 Block 17 Federal Addition, located on the east side of Second Avenue from A Street nearly to D Street, from Single Family Residential (R1) and Two Family Residential (R2) to Office Residential (OR) (see attached maps). The application was submitted by property owner Cindy Ecklund, and includes the signatures of over 50% of the property owners in the area to be amended. The applicant has stated that rezoning to Office Residential (OR) is representational of current and planned neighborhood activities. ZONING HISTORY The zoning history of Second Avenue from A Street to D Street is as follows: The zoning designation of the portion of Second Avenue between A Street and D Street was indicated as Single Family Residential (R1) on the official zoning map adopted in 1978 by the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which held the zoning authority at that time. The 1985 Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Plan Map delineated the area between A Street and D Street along Second Avenue as Two-Family Residential (R2). In January 1992, by Ordinance 665, City Council amended the Land Use Plan of all Rl, R2, and R3 zoning within the OTS, Federal, Laubner & Cliff addition south of Mill Street, changing the zoning designation to Urban Residential (UR). Future Land Use Plans approved in 2005 and 2017 delineated this area as Two-Family Residential (R2). In 2006 Lot 7A, located on the corner of Second Avenue and D Street was rezoned Auto Commercial for the purpose of developing an employee bunkhouse. This parcel is not included in Resolution 2019-013 for that reason. In 2016, two land use amendment applications came before the Planning and Zoning Commission involving properties within this portion of Second Avenue. A rezone to Two-Family Residential (R2) for one 0.22 acre parcel passed and was 8/113 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Agenda Statement—Resolution 2019-013 Page 2 of 3 enacted by Council. The second application to amend the zoning designation of four parcels on the west half of Block 17 to Auto Commercial (AC) failed to pass Planning and Zoning. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: The Office Residential (OR) district is intended to provide for medium density residential, commercial and office development designed to act as a transition zone between the high density central business district and surrounding medium-high density residential districts. The adjoining properties to the east of the subject area are zoned Auto Commercial (AC) and are developed with a mix of residential and commercial structures. Properties to the west are zoned Institutional (INS) and Urban Residential (UR), and include AVTEC and residential homes. The property to the north is zoned Auto Commercial (AC) and includes a bunkhouse for seasonal employees. Properties to the south are zoned Single Family Residential (R1), and include single- family homes.

Mapping Assistance by Alaska Map Company,LL 18/113 July 31, 2019 Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners, My apologies for not being at the August 6, 2019 meeting. Although if I was in attendance I would recuse myself from formal P&Z discussion or action on Resolution 2019-013. But as the applicant I would give public testimony in support of my request. This letter is my testimony. The parcels we are requesting a rezoning for are the west portion of blocks the lie between Institutional (INS)and Urban Residential (UR) on the west side of Secondl Ave. and Auto Commercial (AC)and Central Business District(CBD),on the east across our alleys. Here are the definitions of those surrounding areas per Seward City Code; Institutional district(INS). Public and private educational, administrative,government ands health care uses, including public land reserve for future public development. The development standards are intended to set a high standard to assure that the activities provide visual amenity to,the surrounding area. Urban residential district(UR). Intended to allow an area of higher density mixed residential uses from detached single- family housing to multi-family apartments in conjunction with compatible low impact professional office uses in the area surrounding the downtown business district. Auto commercial district(AC). Intended to provide areas to accommodate highway-oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain Institutional uses, and, limited personal services and retail uses requiring Substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas. Central business district(CBD). Provides for an area:of convenient, attractive,concentrated commercial development primarily intended for retail,financial, entertainment and professional services occurring withiin enclosed structures. Reguiations aipplying to this zone are designed to encourage a compact group of businesses of the type which are mutually beneficial and located close enough together to encourage walk-in trade. The parcels requesting rezoning are not surrounded by other RI or R2 parcels except for across A St.to the south.This is not in compliance with how R1 and R2 are defined in the code,these parcels are not"free from other uses except those which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district".There is an abundance of traffic and parking along Second Ave. adjacent to the vocational institution. There is ailso an increase,in noise pollution during their parking lot and sidewalk maintenance, especially during the winter months.Traffic is abundant through the alleys due to the AC zoning along Third Ave with the current presence of a bunkhouse and auto service industry.Additionally the new multiplex going in on the 700 block of Third Ave. has designated the ingress and egress,will be through the alley. UR zoning to the west allows for higher density and office use. There is no other section of Second Ave,that is surrounded by such an array of other zoning. if i were ever to sell my property it would be a misnomer to say it was in a R1 or R2 zone. My request to rezone is to be a more fitting designation of the area. Thank you for your time and considera Cindy L. Ecklund 907'-362-2276 19/113 July 30, 2019 Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners and Administration, I do not support amending the Land Use Plan to rezone 13 lots along the east side of Second Ave from Residential 1 and R2 to Office Residential (OR). Changing the zoning of this area to Office Residential is not supported in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use Plan or the Strategic Plan. Seward is geographically compact, making neighborhoods and quiet, low-density residential zones ever more important and valued by both residents and citizens. But, bit by bit, our residential neighborhoods are being eroded. If these blocks along Second are rezoned to OR, adjacent properties along Second will be easier to rezone to commercial, and Seward's valued residential neighborhoods vanish. Second Avenue is a buffer between residential neighborhoods and the busy commercial Third Avenue corridor. It is a residential street where parents with strollers, dog walkers, and other pedestrians and bicyclists can enjoy a quieter, slower pace from busy Third Avenue. An amazing catalogued salmon stream runs along the west side from nearby First Lake in Two Lakes Park to the Lagoon; river otters are known to travel along the stream and Second Ave, and bald eagles perch in the trees. It is a very special area that promotes a high quality of life for residents who live in this and adjacent neighborhoods and others who enjoy passing through. The uses on 12 of these lots are single family homes, the other is a duplex.The majority of uses along Second Ave extending to the south all the way to Washington are single family homes with a few multifamily units.The uses to the west are majority single family with the exception of the AVTEC First Lake Facility.The uses to the north are a seasonal Kenai Fjords bunk house, the Seward Volunteer Ambulance barn, and then all single family homes along Second, Chamberlin, and Dairy Hill to Third Ave with the exception of Exit Glacier Guides' parking lot by the Lagoon. The Office Residential (OR) district is a principally commercial zone intended to provide for medium density residential, commercial, and office development.The commercial OR zone uses allowed outright are not compatible with this neighborhood: agencies (travel, insurance, title, real estate), art gallery, business (retail sales and service), child care center, medical clinic, house rental on a nightly basis, dormitory, lodging, mortuary, museum, offices (charter boat, guide, business or professional, government), parking lot, personal services (beauty, shoe, tailor), playground, recycling center, restaurant, food service, catering, brew pub, rooming or boarding house, studio (radio, TV), and taxidermy. Regardless of what the applicants say they intend to do now, these commercial, higher traffic uses will be allowed by code. Lot coverage is increased to 50%, resulting in potential loss of landscaping. 20/113 Our code states that OR is designed to act as a transition zone between the high density central business district and surrounding medium-high density residential districts. OR zone is not supported here in this low-density R1 and R2 residential zone. The current Land Use Plan adopted by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan recommends that this area remain residential by adopting the recommendation of Two-family Residential. It does not support Office Residential. The Strategic Plan supports the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and encourages bringing the Zoning Map into conformance with the Land Use Plan. It does not support Office Residential. A previous attempt to rezone this area to Urban Residential failed due to citizen support of R1 R2. I urge the Commissioners to deny this commercial rezone. Thank you for your consideration.

THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Martha Fleming,Vice Chair AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Brenda Ballou, MMC City Clerk (City Seal) 34/113 P&Z Agenda Statement Meeting Date: August 6, 2019 To: Planning and Zoning Commission Through: Jackie C. Wilde, Planner From: Andy Bacon, Planning Assistant Agenda Item: Preliminary Plat Review of Lots 1, 2, 4, and 5, Block 7, Oceanview Subdivision Gateway Replat BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION: Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to Seward City Council and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission is a preliminary plat submitted by PND Engineers representing property owner Seward Wildlife Cruises, LLC. This replat will combine four (4) lots into one lot to be known as Lot 1A Oceanview Subdivision, Gateway Replat. The proposed replat vacates three interior lot lines creating a single parcel of approximately 1.8 acres. The preliminary plat vacates 40 feet of a 100 foot wide drainage easement for Scheffler Creek. 20 feet along each stream bank are proposed to be vacated, leaving as a remainder a 60' drainage easement centered along the middle of the creek. The drainage easement was dedicated to public use on Plat#74 Oceanview Subdivision, recorded in 1971. The preliminary plat also vacates a guy wire anchor easement that is associated with a radio transmitter that is no longer on the parcel. The easement was dedicated to Seward Boradcasting Co. on Plat#74 Oceanview Subdivision, recorded in 1971. In accordance with Borough requirements, the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission must review and comment on a platting action before submittal to the Borough for final approval. Kenai Peninsula Borough code §20.70.110 specifies that a vacation of a city street, public right- of-way, public area, or public easement located within an incorporated city may not be approved without the consent of the City Council. Zoning and Surrounding Land Use: The lots are currently zoned Auto Commercial (AC) — Under SCC 15.05.025 (b) (8) the Auto commercial district (AC) is intended to provide areas to accommodate highway-oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas. The parcels surrounding this replat are within the Auto Commercial (AC), and Harbor Commercial (HC) Zoning Districts. The parcel to the south west is zoned Auto Commercial and includes a restaurant. The parcel to the east is zoned Harbor Commercial and includes a multi- 35/113 Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement Resolution No. 2019-015 Page 2 of 5 family dwelling. The parcel to the south is zoned Auto-Commercial and includes a multi-family dwelling. The parcel to the north is zoned Harbor Commercial and is a city-owned paid parking lot. Utilities: The property is served by existing public utilities and maintained streets; therefore a subdivision agreement is not required. Size: Lot lA will contain approximately 1.8 acres. The new lot will meet the requirement for minimum lot width and buildable lot size for the Auto Commercial Zoning District. Existing Use: The lot is currently undeveloped and used for parking and temporary storage. Past uses included an RV campground, information kiosk, and it was formerly the location of the Seward Broadcasting Company transmission tower. Flood Zone: A portion of the property is located within the FEMA special flood hazard area Zone AE, as depicted on the 2016 Flood Insurance Rate Map. The base flood elevation is at or above 15 feet for this parcel. The City of Seward is part of FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the Federal Government that states if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas, the Federal Government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. The City of Seward also participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), which recognizes community efforts beyond the NFIP minimum standards by reducing flood insurance premiums for the community's property owners. The discounts may range from 5 to 45 percent, depending on the rating assigned by FEMA. The discounts provide an incentive for new flood mitigation, planning, and preparedness activities that can help save lives and protect property in the event of a flood. Easements: The FCC license for the Seward Broadcasting Company was sold more than 25 years ago, and the licensee moved operations to another site. A past owner of the property removed the broadcasting tower over 15 years ago, however the easement has not been formally vacated. A search of the State of Alaska corporations database turned up no references to the Seward Broadcasting Company. The Scheffler Creek easement is specified on the parent plat as a 100 foot wide "Drainage Easement." This easement is dedicated for public use on the certificate of ownership and dedication block of the parent plat. This section of stream is a manmade outflow of the Seward Lagoon, which was connected to the Bay prior to development of filled tidelands in the Oceanview, Small Boat Harbor, and Marina Subdivisions. Post-1964 earthquake reconstruction efforts spurred the majority of this development. The Seward Lagoon is tidally influenced, and collects water from the Mt. Marathon drainage, which includes upper Scheffler Creek, First and Second Lakes. Historic flooding of the area has taken place in 1986 and 1995, the extent of 36/113 Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement Resolution No. 2019-015 Page 3 of 5 which is depicted on attached flood maps. A review of the preliminary plat was requested from the Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Area and the State of Alaska DOT. The Flood Service Area Board acts in an advisory capacity to development in the floodplain and makes recommendations on mitigating flood hazards in land development within the floodplain. The Board will review and provide comments at their August 5, 2019 meeting, which will be presented as a lay down to the Commission. Flood Service Area staff have provided background information on flood history and predicted weather patterns over the next 50 years that is included in the packet. The DOT was deeded a portion of Lot 4 and Lot 5 in 2002 as public right of way for the purpose of improving and maintaining the drainage culvert under Third Avenue. As a landowner within the easement proposed to be vacated, DOT staff was asked to comment on the preliminary plat. Dr. Paul Janke, DOT Central Region Hydrologist, provided comments stating that the minimum required drainage easement for Scheffler Creek should be wider than it currently is: "Scheffler Creek is a cataloged anadromous stream. The approximate drainage easement width needed for this creek is a sum of the following. 1. The ordinary high water width: This is estimated to be 35 feet. To determine a more exact width requires survey data, a hydraulic analysis, and tide data. 2. Erosion protection roughly 15' horizontal on each side of the stream. This is estimated to be the width in the horizontal direction of a 2H:1 V slope that is extends to 5' above the streambed and 4' thick in the direction perpendicular to the slope. 3. A vegetative buffer on each side of the stream as required by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This is estimated to be 25'. 4. A 15' wide path on each side of the stream for maintenance access. Therefore, the approximate minimum required drainage easement for Scheffler Creek= 35' +2*15' + 2*25' + 2*15' = 145 feet. This easement width should be centered on the stream channel." Dr. Janke's comments have been included in the packet for review by the Commission. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A 1. Comprehensive Plan (2020): X 2.

The SiB FSA board of directors will review the proposed replat at the August.5" regular board meeting.Staff will provide the following information regarding this preliminary replat. In the Flood Insurance Shady for the community of Seward, FEMA maipp d a special flood hazard area(Zone AE) above the ordinary high water mark of Scheffler Creek,with a base flood elevation at or above 15 feet.This study was based on data collected in or prior to zoog. The Kenai Peninsula Borough GIS Seward Mapped Flood Data Area (SIIFCA) is based on known high waiter during the 1986, -.g S, and 2oo6 flood events. Though the City of Seward does not regulate floodplain development within the SMFCA, this mapped flood hazard area provides additional information for review. The 1986 flood layer covers nearly the entire property.The 1995 flood layer shows Scheffler Creek overtopping banks go--.io feet wide. TheUniversity of Alaska Fairbanks Scenarios Network for Alaska & Arctic Planning (SNAP) provides information on historical and predicted precipitation and temperature weather data.. The trend over the next So years is an expected increase in both temperature and precipitation, causing both rapid melting of snow and glaciers and an increase In rain events. Development planning, within the floodplain and on alluvial fans within our community should consider the impacts of these predicted climate changes, One additional hazard to consider in a coastal community are the risks of tsunami inundation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission that: Section 1. In accordance with SCC§15.10.320(D), the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a CUP to operate a parking lot on Lots 21 - 23 Block 10, Laubner Addition; within the Urban Residential Zoning District and declared the following Findings of Fact: 1. 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. The applicant has stated that the lot will be used by employees and clients of their business, located at 1013 Third Avenue, for the months of May through September. The applicant also states that they wish to add a temporary storage shelter to the rear of the property, and store up to two privately used boats at the location during the winter months. Parking lots are allowed in the Urban Residential Zoning District by Conditional Use 58/113 Seward Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2019-004 Page 2 Permit. The proposed parking lot is consistent with the purpose of the 'Zoning Code. 2. The value of adjoining property will not he significantly impaired Finding: This condition has been met. Lots 21-23 are located on the northeast corner of Second and Van Buren streets. The adjoining property to the north is an undeveloped 6000 square foot lot. Properties across the street to the west include single family and a multi-family dwelling and are zoned urban residential. The parcel to the east is zoned Auto Commercial, and includes a seasonally operated restaurant. Properties to the south across Van Buren street consist of a single family home zoned R1 residential, and the applicant's commercial guide business, formerly known as Seward Plumbing, which is zoned Central Business (CBD). The applicant states that the present condition of the lot is overgrown with small Alders. The applicant states they intend to clear the lot and plan to have the parking neatly spaced. A site plan was included with the application showing the proposed parking diagram. The applicant states that there will be no visual impacts as no structures will be built high enough to impair line of sight. To ensure that parking lot users are able to adhere to the proposed parking diagram, it is recommended that the applicant provide and maintain parking lot striping while the lot is in use. It is further recommended that the applicant maintain the vegetative buffer that is currently present along Second Avenue and Van Buren Streets in order to screen the parking lot from view. Seward City Code supports the separation of parking lots in residential zoning districts by a fence or hedge (15.10.215 (h)(3). The vegetation that presently exists on the property, if maintained in such a way, will function as adequate visual separation as a hedge. 3. The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan, (2030—adopted by Council May 30, 2017) Finding: This condition has been met. The applicant has recently purchased a new headquarters for their business, at the former Seward Plumbing Building, which is zoned Central Business District (CBD).

All parking spaces and lots shall be durably surfaced, free of mud and standing water, and be dust free. 3.

Mapping Assistance by Alaska Map Company,LLc 70/113 Andylacon From: eggjamgmt <eggtamgmt@qrnad.coM> Sent: Friday, May 31, 20191:59 PM To: Andy Bacon Subje�ct: Re: Parkiing issues with your business Hey Andy, At the beginning of the season we had as njectiag with all of our employees and told their where they can and shouldn't park. Just so the city and all concerned know we are not being cavalier about Our encroachment on the neighborhood, nor are we ignoring any concerns that have been brought up. With that said, as far as I understand we do not need to provide or direct anyone whether employee or client for parking due to our:coned status, It'we chose to we could let clients and employees park anywhere they want and have the neighbors and city deal with each vehicle individually, of course we aren't going to do that,but I do hope that as, much as we mid the city want to alleviate complaints by the,neiglihors, the city is also working on our behalf with the folks coniplaining to explain how the situation could be and what, the situation is. Where: my employees have been parking is not illegal or in front of drive ways. The one spot where an employee got a city war nirig was in front of the pavilion which none of us knew was illegal, we have now told each employee to not park there. A week ago I told all the employees not to park in front of our neighbors house directly to the west of us on Van Buren or 2nd due to proximity, all though it is not illegal to do so. The last complaint came from the new garage apartment on 2nd and those employees are not in front of his drive or house,they are legally on the side in front of trees. He was cordial and polite to the two employees he approached about the r tj parking. The foreman working on,his house was not I however and will not tolerate r deness a nd disrespect to my employees,about such a trivial matter. There are only 3-6 employees any given(lay parking around us and they have all been directed to move it ,around and not to park in the sarise spot often. Again considering how bad it could be I don't see this as a big issue,especially since they are legally parking. Our lot is completed and we believe it looks professional and organized. It is for clients and our shuttle fleet, not for employees all the tinte. Depending on how busy we are we dictate when employees can park there. I've suggested to all employees who drive to work that they shouid buy a pass for the city lot, but [,m not going to force them to do so nor provide one. KAW does not provide parking for their clients who must find parking on 3rd or the other side streets. That has been going on for years, I'm sure my neighbors would rather have a few vehicles here and there than droves of rented vehicles parking Willy nilly every which way. Rope this helps explain things. On a side note it,would be more proactive for individuals to approach me in person and talk about what, they are upset about, rather than lodging complaints to the city. It always seems much easier to deal with these matters like an adult,respectfully listening to each other's side. I-laving to go between an arbitrator seerris like as waste of all our busy firne. -Ryan Ryan On Fri, May 31, 20 19 at 10:21 A M Andy flacon<LjbacojjC0 cityofsi�yard fLe-1>wrote*. t 71/113 j Good morning Brendan and Ryan, Unfortunately we have received two phone calls this week now from two different neighbors in the immediate vicinity of your business reporting that your employees have been parking in front of their homes and they aren't happy about it. One of the callers just reported that they spoke to and confirmed it was an employee of your business. That being said the neighbor who called also said they're supportive of your business activities, and wanted to give the benefit of doubt that this was just a blip, etc.. It's our duty to reach out and seek a resolution, and two calls in one week as you're just ramping up for the season foreshadows that our office may get many more calls, which is not the most rewarding part of our jobs, so let's please get something figured out. The parking lot site plan that was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission indicated that employee parking was going to be provided, and I discussed that with both the concerned neighbors. Is there a reason why you're not utilizing your parking lot for those purposes,because I would like to be able to offer some explanation to people in the neighborhood who are concerned that they're going to be looking at vans out their front windows all summer. If you guys are still working on site prep just let us know when that is expected to be complete. If the lot you're leasing truly does not meet your needs, maybe harbor parking would be a more suitable solution for your employees. Summer parking passes are available, and it is a short walk away. We were and are still very optimistic about EGG/LA providing parking for employees and clients and keeping it off the residential side streets, as was stated in your CUP application.We appreciate the effort in providing that parking, and the developments at your new location and the Firehouse BBQ both bring positive new things to this part of town.Please reply and let us know how you mean to address this issue.

PO Box 167 Seward AK 99664 Dear Ms.Wilde: Thanks for taking time to listen to sorne of our neighborhood concerns this summer, I have owned my home at 1031 Second Avenue for over fourteen years now. Our quiet and peaceful neighborhood has ,always been so convenient and met our needs very well. We have two driveways with plenty of parking for family and friends during summer visits. Grandkids could safely ride bikes and play in the stream. And we could easily maintain the grassed area up to the street. Early this spring our street began filling up with additional vehicles parked everywhere including in front of our spare driveway. We began watching where they were walking to and it was to the new business that moved into Seward Plumbing. I had received a notice from the City dated April 2, 2019, regarding Resolution 2019-004 from the Planning and Zoning Commission granting a conditional use permit to Exit Glacier Guides to operate additional parking, Quite odd when we have looked at that parking area it has been near empty compared to Second Avenue full of most likely,employees from our new neighborhood business, After a few weeks we did install a No Parking or Impound sign. Not normally my style although it has helped some while we are there, I have always admired the City for taking care of Seward and keeping it so clean and peacefuil during summer activities, Now please take care of us, the property owners who,pay taxes and utilities,and also work hard to keep our properties maintained, by enforcing the terms of Resolution 2019-004, This was approved for both employee and client parking and should be used as such. Please don't let their inappropriate behavior and negligence change the whole environment and safety of our neighborhood. I appreciate all your efforts in, advance. Please contact me at 907-631-1988 or thgj Lajas&rrL rj!irlp, if-,gL -.. -L!t should you need any further information.

We are currently completing construction of our new house project, which is being managed by our builder, Phil'. Zimmerman of G&P Enterprises, We are excited with our investment in Seward and appreciate the strong, community planning and standards developed for the community. This formal complaint is submitted to your department following previous discussions with you and your staff. It also follows imultiple attempts to discuss the matter of employee street parking activities in residential areas directly with the owner of Exit Glacier Guides located at 1013 3rd Avenue. To date the owner of Exit Glacier Guides has been unresponsive. My complaint regarding, Exist Glacier Guides employee street, parking in residential neighborhoods is based on the following(primary issues: L Employee street parking in front of residential property block owner access and degrades the visual aesthetics of the residential neighborhood; 2. Employee street parking creates an increased safety hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists by eliminating shoulder areas;and . Representations made to the Planning and Zoning Commission have not been followed and Exit Glacier Guides appears to be non-compliant with their Conditional Use Permit. Please understand l have no opposition to Exit Glacler Guides as a business,and other than this impact of their operations to our residential neighborhood, I find) the business to be well ruin, and a productive contributor to the business community and the City of Seward. Il have no personal animosity with the owner or employees of the business whatsoever.'' e were aware of the conditional use status of various other properties between and Avenue and the harbor whein we purchased this property in 2018,and we enjoy the fact we have built a house in a nice neighborhood with short walking access to these areas. I am providing the following information for your action with the Planning and Zoning Commission, 1 74/113 Employee Street Parking in 2"d Avenue Residential Area Starting in approximately mid-May of 2019, multiple vehicles started parking along 2"d Avenue during daytime business hours.This was occurring daily, 7-days a week.These vehicles were very noticeable in that there are normally not such vehicles present in the 2"d Avenue residential neighborhood, and most had non-Alaska license plates. Several of the vehicles were vans or pickup trucks with toppers that appeared to be set up for overnight camping. Parked vehicles were generally concentrated each day near the intersection of Van Buren Street and 2nd Avenue and extended up 2"d Avenue and generally away from the Exit Glacier Guides parking lot. When the vehicles first appeared in May, 1 personally contacted several individuals who were parking in front of my property and along 2nd Avenue. All of them indicated they were employees of Exit Glacier Guides. Initially when asked to not park on the street in front of our property, they indicated they were just following the owner's directives and were willing to move. In July, I continued contacting employees when possible and contacted an individual parking on 2nd Avenue who indicated he was a "lead guide"for Exit Glacier Guides. As with previous employees, I asked him to communicate my concerns with employees parking on the street and provided my business card with contact information. I indicated that I assumed the owner was not aware of the neighborhood concerns and would want to address the problem without the City of Seward becoming involved. He indicated he would make contact with the owner personally and he understood that the employee parking was improper under the Conditional Use Permit for the Exit Glacier Guides parking lot. It was at this time 1 became aware that several neighbors on 2"d Avenue were experiencing the same chronic issues, and in some cases, were having access to their property blocked during the day by employee vehicles. Neighbors north of my property have resorted to posting "No Parking/Subject to Towing"signs in an attempt to discourage parking in front of their property. I received feedback from my builder that employee parking at the entrance to my property was creating occasional problems for access of construction vehicles and equipment. In late May and through June, both my builder and I made several independent attempts to contact the owners at the Exit Glacier Guides office to discuss our concerns with the employee parking. I was always told the owners were not available, but they would contact me after I insisted the employees take my contact information. My conclusion after two months of failed attempts, leaving many business cards, and no response, was that the owners had no intention of engaging residents on the employee parking issue. It also became clear that employees were being directed to not provide any contact information for the owners including their name(s), phone number, or e-mail. Since June,employee parking has continued, and employees contacted are now notably combative when asked not to park on the street. A neighbor to the north of my property reported to me that when he contacted an employee parking with a van, she indicated the Exit Glacier Guides owner instructed employees to"move their parking around the neighborhood so they are not so noticeable." My neighbors and I do not find this acceptable. Please see attached example photographs of Exit Glacier Guides employee street parking in the 2"d Avenue neighborhood. 2 75/113 Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of my time availability and general patience toe ngage the owner of the Exit Glacier Guides in a resolution of the employee street parking issue. I am requesting that the City of Seward address this situation and am willing to assist where necessary. Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-004 City of Seward records indicate Exit Glacier Guides submitted a Conditional Use Permit Application on February 28, 2019 to use property owned by Robin Dykstra (1100 and 1104 2"d Avenue) for parking and temporary storage starting in May of 2019. The application represented that under Section A) "The lot will be used for parking of employee vehicles and overflow vehicles of clients from our business site at 1013 3`d Avenue for the months of May—September."Additionally the application indicated in Section C) "By providing safe and ample parking for our clients we reduce chances of visitors parking on the street or in areas that are not appropriate." In a hand drawn plot plan attached to the application,a specific area of the property for employee parking was identified. The Seward Planning & Zoning Commission issued Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-04 to Exit Glacier Guides on April 12, 2019. It is clear from my observations that the parking lot is primarily being used for customers of Exit Glacier Guides. It is also been my observation that parking spots in front of the business are usually held open for customers.This is understandable since every parking spot available for a customer is a potential unit of revenue generation. What is also clear to me is that 2nd Avenue is being used for employee parking to supportthose revenue generation opportunities and growth of the business activities beyond the capacity of the physical facilities. Exit Glacier Guides provided a Conditional Use Permit Application that represented use of the parking lot property for employee parking. They went further in justifying the conditional use as a mitigation of potential street parking associated with their business "in areas that are not appropriate." Based on my observations, and the documentation attached, Exit Glacier Guides does not appear to be in compliance with their Conditional Use Permit. Since the owner has been unresponsive, I do not support the continuance of Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-004 and am concerned with the lack of compliance enforcement. My concern is that with no consequences to non-compliance, the problem will only grow as this business grows and Seward grows as a whole. Other Issues for Consideration With the visitor industry and associated service businesses growing, a broader issue in Seward will be controlling the use of residential street areas for business parking.This will first become evident in those residential areas such as 2"d Avenue where they are bordered by commercial areas or property that has received Conditional Use Permits. My understanding from our discussions is that there are no ordinances that cover street parking currently. I would encourage your department to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission to develop appropriate controls ahead of this problem growing in the future. It has been explained to me by long-time residents that traditional practice has been for property owners to use the street parking in front of their property for guests and temporary parking needs.One suggestion I have is to implement neighborhood permit parking for property owners.Ordinances I have seen in other cities issue permits to owners and residents which are displayed in vehicle windows. This would also necessitate permit-only parking signage and enforcement resources. 3 76/113 Another suggestion could be to require businesses operating within and adjacent to the core residential neighborhoods to provide bussing of employees to their business location. I think as a responsible operator, this would be an appropriate solution for Exit Glacier Guides who already operate a fleet of transportation vehicles. I appreciate your time in speaking with me in the past and appreciate your proactive stance on this issue. I truly do not wish to negatively impact the Exit Glacier Guides business operations but feel I have provided more than ample opportunity to address the issue on their employee parking in the 2"d Avenue neighborhood. As a business that already uses our public resources to generate revenue, my neighbors and I don't want to additionally contribute our neighborhood to their business enterprise. Please contact me at 907-230-7984 if you require further information regarding this matter. Sincerely, Brad. H.

Overnight uses in the Central,Business District generally require a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has stated that they intend to rent five of the eleven upstairs rooms nightly, and retain the remainder for "employee,", use. The second floor of the subject structure includes eleven rooms. Ten of the °eleven rooms share bathroom and shower facilities, and all rooms share cooking facilities. �iifde referred every' e to the floor plan layout that was submitted with the application.

Motion (Fleming/Charbonneau) Approve Resolution 2019-010 Granting a Conditional Use Permit To Carroll and Robert O'Neal To Operate A Four (4) Unit Multi Family Dwelling On Lot 21A Block 25, Original Townsite of Seward Located At 402 Second Avenue; Within 97/113 City of Seward,Alaska Seward Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes June 4, 2019 Volume 7, Page 343 The Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District Fleming stated that parking is an issue, and that in the past the Commission has required that businesses providing for overnight use have a parking plan on file. Fleming stated that she would like to discuss a parking requirement for this permit. Fleming was surprised that there were eleven rooms in the subject building, and asked what the current use of the rooms was. Elliot Jackson, appearing from the audience, stated that his business plan was to use a portion of the upstairs rooms for overflow accommodations for the three other hotels that he owns, but also to set some space aside for employee housing. Jackson stated tl he is also trying to help provide employee housing on property he owns adjacent to Pre Pond, and is in the process of working with FEMA on floodplain permitting, so he cad employee housing. Jackson stated that parking is an issue, and he owns two other down bt ses, but there is nothing that can be done about that until we build a parking,� �ge. Ambi asked if there were any realistic options for providing parking in this p downtown. Wi referred everyone to page 21 of the packet, which includes a breakdow "available parking in :area. Ecklund read a letter submitted by Commissioner Swann, 664 the need to be consist with other CUPs approved by the Commission. The letter stated that-the CA", of Seward is in a position to monitor how individual rooms are, used in a mixed',f�,Uilding, and theref e the applicant should have to meet the most restricts ,requiremenij�:.wn a proposed mixed use building consisting of long term and short term 1641ing. Swann letter also stated that a parking requirement consistent with recent Planning and Z'Oniing Commission CUP application reviews should also be applied to th .application. Swvann's leer cited tho wed for a review of life safety requirements when considering a commercial building that includes a restaurant and a mix of long and short term housing. Ecklund asked if the building currently met life safety requirements for the proppsed use.Vilde statedihat Fire Chief Eddie Athey was in attendance and available to answer questions regarding life safety requirements. Ecklund asked if fire suppression spriiiklers would he required'rf this were new construction, to which Wilde affirmed. Ecklund rioted that there was an additional kitchen shown on the application that was between two of the upstairs rooms,.'' Eeklu d� relaxed the rules to allow the applicant to address the upstairs kitchen. Jackson stated that the upstairs kitchen was not in use. Jackson stated that his chef in the restaurant will prepare any food:for his nightly guests, that employees are not allowed to use the kitchen, and the stove is not operational and he has no plans to fix it. Ecklund asked if an architectural code study was listed as a recommended condition, to which Wilde affirmed. Jackson asked about the purpose of the code study and stated that he does not know what that consists of. Ecklund asked if Fire Chief Athey could explain the code study requirement. Athey stated that the purpose of an,architectural code study is to get a licensed building professional to survey the building and evaluate the construction materials used in order to determine if the building meets adequate life safety requirements for a proposed use. Athey stated that the benefit to a code study is that a registered architect may come up with more efficient and cost-effective solutions to any potential deficiencies, than building department staff may be able to provide. Jackson stated that he has already spent over half a million dollars on this building making upgrades to the water line and sewer line. Jackson stated that he has bought several other businesses in town that were all in poor condition and feels that every time he tries to make improvements he encounters obstacles from the City. Jackson stated that he is a third generation 98/113 City of Seward,Alaska Seward Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes June 4, 2019 Volume 7, Page 344 Alaskan and is trying to invest in the state because he likes living here, but is finding is difficult with the many obstacles placed in his way. Jackson cited concerns over time and costs with regard to having to hire an architect to evaluate his building. Jackson stated that if the City did not want him investing here then he could go elsewhere. Elliot Jackson exited Council Chambers Ecklund asked if an architectural analysis was required in other CUPs, which Wilde affirmed was the case for all mixed use buildings. Ecklund stated for clarification that this was a requirement for mixed use buildings intended to promote the safety for residents and customers, which Wilde affirmed. Hatfield asked Wilde for confirmation of what people may not realize, which is that if an applicant were to continue the existing use of providing long term rentals that they would not be subject to the heightened safety requirements of short-term use, to which Wilde affirmed. Hatfield stated that in order to be consistent with previous CUPs, some off street parking needed to be provided. General discussion took place on changes in building use versus maintaining an existing nonconforming use. The Commission and staff discussed classifying this proposed use as a hotel due to the total number of rooms in the building, and the applicant stating that a portion would be used for overflow hotel guests. Ecklund asked if any property owners have had the architectural code study done, and what the process was like. Wilde stated that she has had no direct knowledge at this time of a building owner obtaining a code study. Commissioners requested that staff>research the code study,process and report back with more details. Ecklund stated that she is tharful for the improvements the applicant has made to businesses in our town, but that the Commission can't let financial considerations affect their decision making when it comes to life safety. Athey,discussed and compared the building code requirements for hotels versus- long term multi-faml.3 dwellings: General discussion followed regarding architectural services. Wilde stated,that ghe has contacted architects and engineering firms in Anchorage and made a list of qualified and interested'firms. Motion (Hatfleld/Charbonneau) Amend Section I F to add condition number 7 requiring seven (7) off-street parking spaces Hatfield std that this pare requirement was consistent with parking requirements made in previous condi€wnal use perm. Ecklund suspended the rules for Commissioner Fleming to discuss and provide background;to the parking requirement with a member of the audience. Bacon stated that 6ft,premises oajrking is allowed by Code, and that when off-site parking is located more than 606 toet from,the business that a scheduled shuttle or valet service is required.
