Brad Chastain, inside city, stated that he filed a written complaint to the City regarding the parking situation on Second Avenue near Van Buren that is in the meeting packet. Chastain 13/36 City of Seward,Alaska Seward Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes August 6, 2019 Volume 7, Page 351 stated that he has attempted to contact the owners of Exit Glacier Guides multiple times to address his concerns about employees parking in front of his house. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach the owners, Chastain stated that he felt it necessary to bring his complaint to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review. Chastain stated that he foresees this becoming a bigger problem throughout Seward as the City grows, and discussed the importance of getting ahead of the parking issue. Carol Griswold, inside city, stated that she was optimistic when owners of Exit Glacier guides applied for and received a Conditional Use Permit to operate a parking lot for their employees and clients. Griswold stated that she has frequently observed,:=vehicles parked along Second Avenue that appear to be employees of Exit Glacier Guides. Griswold is disappointed that employee parking has spilled on to Second Avenue, and 6nb'ourages the Commission to review and ensure that the business is adhering to their CUP.

Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Brad Chastain, inside city, stated that he is opposed to a change in zoning that puts more commercial activity on Second Avenue. Chastain stated that property value should not drive zoning changes, and if the Commission were to approve a zoning change on such a basis, it may lead to further requests of that kind from other neighbors, th�reby skewing the town site in a more commercial direction, which may not be compatible we master plan. Carol Griswold, inside city, stated that she is speaki A�� a of residential neighborhoods, as they are extremely valuable. Griswold stated t bid and b 'fast operators in residential neighborhoods advertise that as a feature of thejtion, owing id,*,value of quiet residential neighborhoods.

Wilde stated that 59 legal notices were sent to property owners and they must adhere to a specific format and do not contain any call to action. eld asked administration for verification of her understanding that a property owner 1 could construct an apartment within their home to rent to another party. Bacon s,,' t there is a code definition for dwelling, efficiency apartment that is allowed in R1 v4`e thu)*ner could rent to anyone they chose. Swann asked about bed and breakfasts„ R1. Hatfie ; end Wilde stated the code requirements for operating a B&B in the R1 Zoo Fleming stated that,she is undecided on this resolution because she understands the petives of both sides stated that she understands the request coming from residents + the east side of SecontAvenue, because the commercial uses of Third Avenue inhibits their u ,;+qf a qalleyway. S` stated that he opposes this resolution. Swann stated that the zoningli�lt area has been cons tent for so long that everyone who purchased property `m the.area propo§Oklo be rezoned knew their zoning and the surrounding zoning. Swann stated tt in hs;time on tmmission, the group has worked hard to preserve the residential neighborhood. S*a.,hnr also stA ,that some of the proposed uses that he has read to justify the zoning change such as are efficiency' artment or B&B can already be done in the currentresdenttat zoning. Swann emphasized:that the decisions the Commission makes today effects how the town will look decades from now. Swann stated that the Commission had approved a Comprehensive P1 within the last two years that specified that this area remain residential atf sated that sh would prefer a zoning change that allows for a more incremental increase'tn density; such as R2,; which is supported by the Comprehensive Plan Hatfield stated that the parking issues fhe;Commission is looking into just down the street result from changing the zoning in this area to OR. Ambrosiani near Van,Buren would likely suggested that the Commission may Address the wishes of these property owners through changes to Land,Uses Allowed;rather th a zoning change. Ambrosiani also noted that homes used for nightlylodging tend to be well kept. Wilde clarified lodging regulations in the R1 zone. Seese discussed his-experience with improving his home and operating it as a bed and breakfast. Swann disagrees with the notion=that home improvement is driven by commercial activity, and has noted that within the last 5,-t6 10 years he has seen many homes be renovated by year round residents who occupy them."Hatfield stated that one of the reasons she joined the Commission was to help address the housing needs of long term residents, and she thinks the Commission has made steps in a positive direction to help encourage long term housing development. Fleming stated that she was ready to call a vote, but that she is torn on the decision. Fleming stated that it is bad timing to be addressing parking problems just down the street while considering a big zoning change that may result in the same type of congestion. Fleming also stated that she does not believe that R1 is the appropriate zone for this area, given the surrounding land uses. 16/36 City of Seward,Alaska Seward Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes August 6, 2019 Volume 7, Page 354 Motion Failed AYES: Seese,Ambrosiani, NOES: Hatfield,Swann,Fleming UNFINISHED BUSINESS —None NEW BUSINESS Resolution 2019-014 of The Planning And Zoning Commission Of The City Of Seward, Alaska,Recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough Approval Of The Preliminary Replat Of Lots 28, 29, 30, And 31, Block 31, Original Townsite Of Seward, Located At 514 And 518 Fifth Avenue, Creating One Lot To Be Known As Lot 28A,'Seward Original Townsite S&R Audette Replat Planner Wilde stated that the preliminary plat was submitted by Lang and Associates to vacate lot lines and combine four lots into one lot. The lots are currently zone Urban Residential, and the resulting Lot 28A would be approximately U2,000 square feet in area.. The lot is served by all city utilities and no subdivision agreement is requ e,,d for this replat. Wilde,asked the Commission to note that there are staff comments from the Electric Department; but that Community Development chose to make,no recommendatio4rs on the resolution regarding the dedication of easements on this plat,�ard.asks the Commission to review and recommend instead. Wilde stated that easements have been atopic of discussion by,the Commission on similar replats in the recent past, and that the Electric 1300, ent staff-is present and available to answer any questions the Commissivn;may have regarding thou long term-plans and needs. Motion (Swann/Sees ! Approve Resolution 2019-014 of The Planning And Zoning Commission Of The City Of Seward, Alaska, Recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough Approval Of The Preliminary Replat Of Lots 28, 29, 30, And 31, Block 31, Original Townsite Of Seward, Located At 514 And 518 Fifth Avenue, Creating One Lot To Be Known As Lot 28A, Seward Original Townsite S&R Audette Replat Fleming asked Administrphon if, interior lot line vacation was something the City encouraged in cases where homes are alr6idy developed across platted property lines. Wilde affirmed that is the case, and stated that if it was any other type of structure than a single family home, Code requires that lot lines be vacated. Swann stated that he is concerned because in his experience the Electric Department has asked for increasingly large easements over the last ten years from 5 feet on either side of an alley to 10 feet on either side of an alley, and now 15 feet. Swann asked for an explanation of this. Fleming relaxed the rules and asked Electric Department Staff to address the Commission. Pat Gillis, Seward Electric Department field operations supervisor, stated that City Council has directed the Electric Department to run power lines underground in the future, and when the opportunity arises to request an easement, such as in a replat, the 17/36 City of Seward,Alaska Seward Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes August 6, 2019 Volume 7, Page 355 Electric Department does so in order to further their long term objectives. Gillis discussed different widths of easements required for electrical services. Five feet on either side of a common property line is needed to run distribution service. Ten feet is required along an alley so the department can try to run underground power. The Electric Department is coming up with a right of way use plan in the months or years to come, that delineates usage of the right of way between utilities. Gillis stated that a 15 foot easement is needed when the Electric Department is running primary voltage, and this particular lot is located in an area where primary voltage is needed. Gillis stated that the easements along the side lot lines are one half of a `keyhole' which is reserved space for a transformer. Gillis, in response to a comment from the property owner, stated that it is a legitimate concern to not want a transformer jft"their back yard, but the desire of City Council, through their constituents, is to see downto", wer lines run underground, and this is the Electric Departments effort to provide the r � need to do that. Fleming asked about recent undergrounding of telecommunication in tjj�alley Gillis discussed the Tel Alaska project, and stated that the Electric Department, Was not rea&f,s commit the expense and resources to running conduit jointly with Tel A a until a right of"' use plan was finalized. Gillis states that one of the significant challenthe Electric Departmeaces in their long term plan is the location of transformers within our nogow alleyW ays. Flem if there were any other 15 foot utility easements adjacent to always *wntown. Cissioners stated that there were no other 15 foot easements adjacent ta'O in downtown. Swan discussed his past observations of electric department ity installad and said that he has a problem with asking for more area of private property in anticipation of 1, 0n that has not been put together yet, designed by an engineer, and approved by City--Council.` brosiani agreed with Swarm's point, and made the observaxion that it appeared the Electric Depient was planning for many contingencies, and asked what would be the result of removing some of these contingencies and requesting less easerndnt area G11is stated that' they are looking for the most amount of flexibility, once they have,a plan, in order to implement the plan. Gillis stated that it is much more difficult to obtain easements after the faZ, especially when property owners have developed m the space, or re s fe'grant ea ments. Gillis referenced a case in the past where a homeowner refused t0o'grant an element on Lowell' Point, forcing the Electric Department to trench out into the right f way.;and around the property. Swann asked why the Electric Department-doesn't just use:more of the twenty foot alley, and require less use of private property, specifying that this is what the alleys are there for.
