He stated that the roof was in such poor condition that it required complete rebuild, starting at the foundation. Citizen Comments on Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing Lynn Hohl, inside the City, suggested that the Commission look into the Scenic Byway Grant program for assistance with the Hoben Park project. She noted that her main focus was the Johnston Park Tract in Woodrow Subdivision. She informed the Commission that she was the eastern representative to the Borough Planning Commission. HoW stated that the Woodrow Subdivision had come before the Platting Committee for a Right-of-Way (ROW)dedication and she noted that it was a perfect time to request a name dedication to the dedicated Park Tract. She noted that in June she had requested postponement of the platting action so that the formal naming of the Park Tract and other concerns regarding the ROW might be considered. She discussed the encroachments into the Park Tract by private individuals. HoW stated that the Department of Transportation (DOT) had stated that the ROW had been requested at 100 feet per the Alaska Statute 19.10.015; noting that the intention was to take the additional ROW fro m the park tract to the east of the current Bear Lake Road. She continued to inform the Commission with the following questions and concerns that she had submitted to DOT: 'iT Request an exception be considered to Alaska Statute 19.10.015 andjust extend the ROW to the toe of the existing rock wall 'iT Consider naming the existing Park Tract, JD Johnston Park on the Plat 'iT Concerns of parking and other improvements within the 100 foot ROW dedication 'iT Wants to know the public process for disposal of public park lands for either ROW or for the sale to adjoining property owners. She voiced strong concerns that the process had been moving along without public involvement. 'iT If the encroachment did not exist or were resolved in another manner, could the additional required ROW be taken to the west and south of the current Bear Lake Road. 'iT Are park encroachments normally handled by the selling of park lands to the adjoining property owners. HoW continued by requesting the Commission discuss this issue and forward a request to the Borough requesting the naming of the park tract be dedicated on the Plat as J. D. Johnston Park. She encouraged the individuals on the Commission to also write the Borough platting office with the concerns. She reminded the Commission that the current road was a very narrow road with a horseshoe turn. She stated that the traffic control report for 2003 showed a count of969 vehicles per day. She noted that paving the current road will likely increase the speed and life safety issues. Carol Griswold, inside the City. Supported the removal of the encroachments by private individuals into the park and the comments and concerns voiced by HoW. She stated that naming the dedicated Park Tact on the Plat was a very important issue. Honoring the man (J.D. Johnston) that had the vision to dedicate the land to park almost 100 years ago was vital. Griswold encouraged the Commission to continue to try to keep the Hoben Park plan alive and moving along. .UO!SS~O;) UO!lUAJ;:)S;:)ld :l!lOlS!H PlUM;:)S ;:)lfl UlO.IJ SlU;:)UlUlO:l ;:)UlO:l{;:)M PInoM UO!SS~O;) ;:)lfllUlfl P;:)lOU ;:)lfS .U;:)lU "'(;:);:)l;) lU;:)8 ;:)lfl JO ~;:)AO~ Apoq ;:)lfl SUM UO!S~O;) ~ll!llllUId lf~nOl08 ;:)lfllUlfllJUlS lfl!M p;:)llll:lUO:lll{OH JU3SUO;J SnOW!UllUIl P3SSlld uOHoW "'f1l3ds IqoH J3UO!SS!wwo;J ~U!UUllId q~noJog MOllll OJ S31nH 3qJ pU3dsns (UUllMS/31lA0)() uOHoW .;:)lnlUU IU:l!lOlS!l{JO p;:)fqns AUU uo UO!SS~O;) ~ll!llllUId lf~nolO8 ;:)lfl Ol ;:):llnOS AlOS!APU uu su pu PIno:l UO!SS~O;) UO!lUAJ;:)S;:)ld :lpOlS!H ;:)lfllUlfl p;:)s!Apu .lJlllS .Al!;) ;:)lfl ;:)p!SlnO suo!luu~!s;:)p ;:)sn puuI AUU uo AlPolflnu ;:)lfl SUM UO!SS~O;) ~ll!llllUld lf~nolO8 ;:)l{llUlfl P;:)lOU SUM n .Sl!Ul!l Al!;) ;:)lfl U!l{l!M UlO.IJ Sl;:)UO!SS~O;) Ol P;:)l!Ul!llOU SUM UO!SS~O;) UO!lUAJ;:)S;:)ld :lpOlS!H ;:)If.L .U;:)lU AU8 UO!l:l;:)llllS;:)"}I ;:)lfl U!l{l!M S;:)!ll;:)dold UU UO P;:)lU;:)UlUlO:l puu P;:)lOl!llOUl UO!SS~O;) UO!lUAJ;:)S;:)ld :lpOlS!H ;:)lfl lUlfl UO!SS~O;) ;:)l{l p;:)uuoJU! lJUlS .Sl!Ul!l Al!;) ;:)lfl ;:)p!SlnO SUM Ul;:):lUO:l JO All;:)dold ;:)lfllUlfl ~ll!lOU 'UO!SS~O;) UO!lUAJ;:)S;:)ld :lpOlS!H ;:)lflJO ;:)IOl ;:)l{l Ol SU Ul;:):lUO:l P;:):l!OA;:)H .SlU;:)UlUlO:l :l!{qnd ;:)lfl puu "'(lUd ;:)l{lJO lloddns ll! ;:)"'{ods UUUMS .UO!lOUl U lf~nOll{l UO!SS~O;) ;:)lflJO S;:)lfS!M ;:)lflJO lJUlS ;:)S!APU Ol pUU :l!{qnd ;:)lfl Aq P;:)lU;:)S;:)ld u;:)~ PUlf lUlfl s;:)nss! ;:)lfl ssn:ls!p Ol UO!SS~O;) ;:)lfl p;:)~UlnO:lu;:) ;:)lfS .ss;:):lold :l!{qnd ;:)lfllf~noll{l P;:)IPUUlf ~ PIn OM "'(lUd ;:)l{l Olll! ~U!l{:lUOl:lU;:) Sl;:)UMO All;:)dold ~ll!ll!ofpu Ol PUUI "'(lUd AUU JO ;:)IuS ;:)lfllUlfll;:)lf P;:)lnSSU PUlf uurupuruo lUlfl P;:)lOU ;:)lfS .s;:):llnos;:)"}I fUuo!lUNJO lU;:)Ulpud;:)O UlO.IJ 'UUUlpuruo S!ll{;) UlO.IJ UO!lUUllOJU!

Swann requested that staff clarify the issues of the ROW dedication, the encroachments and the park name dedication within the platting process. In response to Swann, Glenz stated that she had been informed that the action to eliminate the encroachments into the park were to be handled in a public process. She noted that the platting action was dedicating a 100 foot ROW, taking the land to the east of the current Bear Lake Road as ROW. She noted that once a plat was approved and recorded the action was completed. By dedicating the current park tract name on the plat, during the platting action, there would be no further action needed. Following a lengthy discussion of support for the limitation of intrusion into the park lands and support for the recognition of the homesteader, J. D. Johnston the Commission directed staff to forward the following request to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission. Motion (Swann/Carpenter) The Seward Historic Preservation Commission directs staff to: 1. Convey to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Platting Officer and the Borough Platting Committee the publics interest that the requested 100 foot Right of Way should be limited to the area west and south of the toe ofthe park lands,(cliff abutting travelway) thus minimizing the encroachment into the public park lands. 2. Name the dedicated Park Tract portion of this plat, J. D. Johnston Park.
