INTRODUCTION
Public lands are a finite community asset held in trust. This document addresses the city's land
asset holdings and needs. The issues related directly to the management of city -owned lands
are numerous:
• Land management decisions are being made without full knowledge of city -owned lands.
• How should the city determine a fair return to the community for the use of public lands?
• City -owned lands such as the city shop, Boulder Field, Parks and Rec warehouse, and Fort
Raymond, may not be achieving their best and highest use.
• How should funds from the disposal of public lands be used?
• The City has not completed its selection of state entitlement lands. Given current status
should this be listed?
• Do we have sufficient lands to accommodate future public facilities (new fire station, new
police/safety station, new City Hall, new Parks and Rec maintenance/warehouse facility,
new City shop, new sewage lagoon, and expanded harbor facilities) and transportation
needs?
• Is the City taking the greatest advantage of its land as a source of direct and indirect
revenues? Reword,
Whereas the Land Use Plan segment of the Comprehensive Plan is the primary tool to ensure
quality community land use arrangements, this Municipal Lands Management Plan is a component
that will provide an action guide specifically for the management of city -owned lands.
The goals of the plan are to:
• Provide an inventory of city owned lands, describing their present and proposed uses
• Assist in establishing a successful land management program by identifying:
• City lands surplus to public needs
• Land acquisition needs for future public facility development
• Lands for economic development
• Assist in implementing the Seward Comprehensive Plan
A Land Management Plan was last completed in May 1995. In the ensuing 19 years many parcels
of land were sold, acquired, leased, altered, re -platted, etc. All city -owned lands have been
individually updated on enclosed tables and maps.
11
GENERAL PROVISIONS
City Code: Seward City Code (SCC) Chapter 7.05 is the basis for all municipal land
transactions and defines "Real Property" as an estate or holding in land including tide and
submerged lands, or improvements thereon.
Fair Market Value: SCC 7.05 states that unless otherwise found to be in the public
interest, the City may not dispose of any real property interest without an appraisal of the fair
market value. Fair market value is defined as the highest price, described in terms of money,
which the property would bring if exposed for sale for a reasonable time in the open market, with
a seller, willing to buy, both being fully informed of all the purposes for which the property is best
adapted or could be used. Once that appraised fair market value is determined, the property
may not be sold for less than that amount without a finding in the public interest by the City
Council.
Nominations: Although this plan will identify lands for disposal through lease or sale,
City Resolution 94-101 outlines procedures for the nominating public lands for disposal.
Resolution 94-101 procedure allows individual entrepreneurs to make recommendations for
specific lands without publicly revealing their particular development plans.
Fund Classification: Within the City's accounting functions there are different fund
types. The General Fund includes government -wide functions such as fire, polic,streets,
cs, the Fire Department, Police Department, Public Works: Streets, Community
Development Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Community Library and Museum,
and other services provided to the public as a whole. Each City enterprise such as the Harbor,
Electric Utility, Parking, and Water/Sewer Utility has a separate fund to account for its specialized
activity. Each of these funds has land associated with its operation such as electric substation,
sewer treatment plant and harbor uplands. Although land is not a depreciated asset, it may be
a vehicle to generate revenues through leases or user fees which benefit that enterprise fund.
►A
ACQUISITION
Seward City Code allows the city to acquire or dispose of property by three methods:
negotiation, public auction or sealed bid. City Code defines "acquisition" as obtaining ownership
and holding real property within or outside the city boundaries by purchase, gift, donation,
grant, dedication, exchange, redemption, purchase or equity redemption, operation of law, tax
or lien foreclosure, adverse possession, condemnation or declaration of taking, annexation, or
by any other lawful means of conveyance.
Municipal Entitlement: State law allows local governments to acquire certain public
lands.
State Selections: The Alaska Statehood Act allowed the state to select 400,000 acres of
national forest lands for community expansion, development and recreation. Municipalities (cities
and boroughs) were authorized to select certain state lands within their corporate limits. The
City has acquired 515 acres of its authorized 565-acre entitlement. HnfeFtunately, the State -
'e~~eF b „ g is its staff to pFeeess ffibinmempal entitleffie~} q iests In an attempt to work with the
State on the remaining entitlement lands the State has noted there are no lands available for
selection within the Municipality at this time. Should new lands become available the City will
apply.
Recommendation: Budget time and attention to apply for the remaining
municipal entitlement. Possible State land to watch is: 408 B Street, now that the
State DOT shop has moved to Mile 22.
Tidelands: Alaska Statutes provide for municipalities to request and receive patent to
state owned tidelands within its corporate limits. The City has acquired two such patents; 1330
acres stretching from Resurrection Bay Seafoods (historically known as Anderson Dock) north
along the Waterfront Park shoreline and across the head of the Resurrection Bay to Nash Road;
and 92 acres at Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). The remaining tidelands within the city
include those on the west side of the bay, south of Resurrection Bay Seafoods. Some tidelands
have been filled to accommodate commercial and industrial development such as the Seward
Boat Harbor, railroad dock, Waterfront Tracts, and SMIC. Although the city deeded some
tidelands to the U.S. Government for construction of the Seward Boat Harbor basin, breakwater,
and railroad dock, the Corps of Engineers determined that an easement would have been
sufficient for the Seward Boat Harbor project and have deeded those harbor basin tidelands back
to the city.
Recommendation: Budget time and attention to applying for the remainder of
State tidelands and replatting as needed.
Donation/Gift: On occasion private individuals have donated land to the city, usually for
park purposes. Most notable examples of this have been around the Lagoon.
Eminent Domain/Condemnation: Government has the legal authority to acquire or
"take" private property for public purpose upon paying fair market compensation to the owner.
This type of acquisition is generally used only as a last resort after other acquisition efforts have
failed.
s
ACQUISITION
Tax/Lien Foreclosure: State statutes require that tax foreclosed property within the
City limits be deeded to the City. It gives the City the opportunity to declare by ordinance whether
a foreclosed property is needed for a public purpose. If so, all redemption avenues by the former
owner are closed. If property is not needed for a public use, the former owner has first right of
redemption for up to 10 years. Any funds over and above taxes, penalties, interest and
administrative costs gained from the sale of tax foreclosed property are made available to the
former property owner within the 10-year limit.
Purchase: Many of the City's parcels have been purchased from private land owners.
Such purchases are generally based on a fair market appraisal value. Funding for such purchases
is on a cash available basis from appropriated funds.
Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale
of surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands,
or other development purposes.
Trade/Exchange: The City has acquired some lands through trades with private and
public sources.
DISPOSAL
Seward City Code defines "disposition" as the transfer of City interest in real property by warranty
or quitclaim deed, easement, grant, permit, license, deed of trust, mortgage, contract of sale of
real property, plat dedication, lease, tax deed, will, or other lawful method or mode of conveyance
or grant.
Sale: After conducting a public hearing, City Council may approve the negotiated, sealed bid or
public outcry auction sale of public property. The sale price or minimum bid price must be at fair
market value unless otherwise found to be in the public interest by the Council. The sale of land
converts a capital asset to cash which accrues to the city's general fund or one of the enterprise
funds. It may then be appropriated through the budget process to many different uses. There
has been increasing discussions about establishing a Land Bank fund in which the proceeds for
land sales would accrue for the acquisition of future municipal lands, thereby benefiting present
and future citizens and promoting the orderly development and achievements of the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale
of surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands,
public infrastructure, and development support.
9
DISPOSAL
Lease: City Council Resolution 94-101 established the most recent policy and procedure
relating to the lease of public lands. The essential terms and conditions of city leases generally
include length of the lease, rental rate, and development requirements. With the exception of
those to the state or federal government, all leases require proof of liability insurance naming the
city as an insured parry. Leases are allowed to be assigned or sublet with written city consent.
A condition of any sublet consent is that the city receives a copy of the sublet agreement including
the rental value. This information is important to the city in the development of fair market land
values.
Although the Comprehensive Plan suggests that the city continues to dispose of
commercial and industrial public land through long term leases rather than sale; lessees continue
to lobby for the fee simple transfer of their sites. Although the sale of these lands would generate
a large one-time cash infusion to the city, it would have a significant long term adverse impact
on annual city budgets. Leases currently generate revenues of over $554,000.00 per year; and
this amount generally increases over time due to periodic appraisal adjustments and new leases.
These lost revenues would have to be offset in some manner in the budget process. Note:
Preliminary estimates of interest that might be earned from the deposited projected lease site
sale income show that it will not replace lease income revenues.
Recommendation: ReaMiFffi Support the Comprehensive Plan by eentinuing to
dispose of eemmeremall and induStFiall lands through long term leases rather- than saller.
using multiple strategies including development, leasing, land swaps, and sales to get
the optimal use of commercial and industrial lands.
City lands are normally leased at fair market rental rates based on a percent of fee simple
land value. The City uses an 8% rate. Reviews of other community and public agency lease
policies show that this rate varies from 6% to 10% throughout the state. The lower rates appear
to apply where there is strong desire to encourage development and higher rates where the
demand for land is high. lig SewaFd,

Trade/Exchange: The city has disposed of substantial acreage through land trades with
both public agencies and private individuals.
iNl
RIGHTS OF WAY, ENCROACHMENTS, AND EASEMENTS
Riahts of Way (ROW): While Rights of Way normally do not convey any warranty or
title interest and are not considered real property under general accounting procedures; they are
a part of the city's overall land management efforts. These are lands acquired by reservation,
dedication, forced dedication, prescription, or condemnation and intended to be used for public
access, roads, trails, parking, and utilities. Rights -of -Way are normally dedicated to the public
during the subdivision platting process, and there is usually no deed transferring ownership. They
generally fall under the management authority of the local municipality providing road services.
All ROW within the city are under city jurisdiction, except for Third Avenue/Seward Highway,
Airport Road and a small portion of Nash Road which are State ROW. The city is responsible for
developed as well as dedicated but yet un-developed Rights of Way (streets and alleys). There
are platted Rights of Way which will never be developed or used because of topography and there
are additional Rights of Way that the city should plan for in the future.
Recommendation:
a) Vacate otherwise undevelopable Rights of Way to enlarge and/or
consolidate adjacent lands. (Note: This is generally accomplished when
adjacent lands are replatted)
b) Plan Rights of Way acquisition to access developable land, both public
and private:
c) Modify and enforce the City code to prevent the use of rights of way for the
storage of personal property such as trailers, inoperable / unlicensed motor
vehicles, junk, and commercial equipment.
Encroachments: City code provides for issuance of permits to allow an encroaching
structure to remain on public right of way for the life of the structure. The purpose of this
provision is to legitimize older structures that have been inadvertently constructed across a
property line into a public right of way. It is not intended to condone trespassing or to allow
construction in the public right of way. Most encroachments occur in the older central part of
town because of small lots and zero lot line construction. They are generally discovered as a
result of as -built surveys done during financing.
Easements: An easement is a right given by a land owner to another party for a specific
limited use. The property owner retains title to the property. Government agencies generally
authorize or convey such uses by permit. Generally, easements and permits are granted for
access, public utilities and flood control devices on subdivision plats and by separate individual
agreements. The City Code authorizes the city to grant easements not to exceed 20
is
RIGHTS OF WAY, ENCROACHMENTS, AND EASEMENTS
years. The Community Development Department is continuing to catalog and inventory recorded
and platted easements and permits issued to the City. —Maintain or Complete?
Recommendation:
a) Maintain an accurate and complete inventory data base of all
easements.
b) Work to obtain legal access/utility easements within the Clearview
Subdivision
Access Lowell: Lowell Point Road is the most notable example of an access agreement
held by the City. It is by permit from the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The
city has also retained numerous access easements on the Prison site to allow city crews to serve
public utility systems. Afognak Beach is accessed from Nash Road ROW. Spring Creek Beach is
accessed from unnamed gravel road paralleling Spring Creek. The North Boat Basin is accessed
from the public boat launch ramp. Fourth of July beach is accessed from Jellison Avenue to
Delphin Street to Sorrel Road.
Dikes/Levees: The city has easements for a number of flood control levees, one
alongside Gateway Subdivision for upper Japanese Creek, continuing along the West property
lines of Afognak Acres Subdivision to the s€eF Statien Read Dieckgraeff Road. To the South
of Japanese Creek, is the easement for the west end of the North Forest Acres Levee and the
Dieckgraeff Road Right of Way extends to the Seward Highway. A levee located on the south
side of Spruce Creek at Lowell Point, to protect the sewer lagoon. Another levee to the North of
Fourth of July Creek has a legal description of Tract B, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision.
Utility: Water, sewer and electric are the most common easements held by the city.
They are generally very specific as to size and location. In some instances, a land owner will
place conditions on an easement relative to cutting trees or for a specific time period.

Map 3. City Hall and Fire Hall
City Hall
The City owns 4 public buildings that include City Hall, parking lots, a storage building,
communication tower, equipment shed and satellite dishes. These public buildings were acquired
from the state, through private purchase, and tax foreclosure. The City Hall building was
constructed in 1966 by the Corps of Engineers during post -earthquake reconstruction. Areas of
the structure are leased to the State. The storage building was built in 2004 and replaced an old
stucco frame building. In 2021, Community Development moved into the building.

Fire Hall
The fire hall was built by volunteers in the early 1960s. The parking lot to the south was acquired
from the non-profit volunteer fire department. As fire trucks became larger and heavier, the
building became less usable. New fire equipment has necessitated an addition and/or structural
improvements to the building. The FiFe ""rite. Plan FeEernmends a new statien be EenstFuEt
Should the fire
department be relocated, the site has been discussed for a public safety building.
Current recommendations are to retain the land ownership as fire hall, acquire lots north of fire
hall from Volunteer Fire Department and replat as a single parcel.

Map 26. Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel and Outflow
Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel, Water Tanks, Hydro Plant
This was the Brownell Homestead. It was acquired in the late 1930s by the City in part to build
the Lowell Creek diversion Tunnel and levee. Later in the 1950's the lower portion was subdivided
as the Marathon Addition. This parcel is located in the Lowell Creek drainage area at the end of
Lowell Canyon Road. The majority of the parcel is Lowell Creek and Mount Marathon.
Development includes the Mt. Marathon Hiking trail which is a 4x4 access to a fenced in water
catchment area. The canyon area includes a hydroelectric plant, two water storage tanks, a
water chlorination building, security fencing, the Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel entrance, safety
fencing, diversion culvert and a road gate. Portion of the area are subject to avalanches. The
hydroelectric plant, built as part of the Marathon water system, is no longer functional; and
surface water environmental chlorination requirements have made the Marathon water source
uneconomical. The water piping through the hydroelectric building is used for First Lake and
Second Avenue drainage flood control.
Recommendations are to retain ownership and not to extend housing further up the canyon.
Generally, manage as a scenic backdrop and as a watershed. Continue working with our
congressional delegation to transfer ownership and maintenance responsibility of the diversion
wall, tunnel and flume to the Army Corp of Engineers. Restore HydFe E'_etF;v hydroelectric plant.

Cemetery — Woodlawn
Acquired and re -platted in 1916 as a cemetery. Salmon Creek shifted channels in the 1920s,
causing the water table to rise too high to continue using the property as a cemetery. Many of
the bodies were exhumed and relocated in the current City cemetery. A few remain at the north
end of the property. It has been maintained by volunteers. The south half is vacant and un-
subdivided. It is a level, heavily wooded area with high water table and road access on three
sides.
Recommendations are to follow Cemetery Plan in subdividing into two parcels. Retain N1/2
already subdivided as cemetery plots for future above ground mausoleums or cremains. Surplus
the S1/2 with proceeds going to cemetery budget.

Two Lakes Park
Originally there were three lakes — the middle one filled in with avalanche debris in the early
1900's. Over the years the City acquired the parcels as a large in -holding from the University of
Alaska, gifts and tax foreclosure. After nearly 20 years of research and work, the City was able
to obtain deeds to all remaining lots. In 2010 the area was replatted as Two Lakes Park. The
emergency evacuation route has become part of the Two Lakes Trail. A portion of the trail
encroaches onto private land, which is covered by an access easement.
Recommendations are to retain land ownership and park status.

National Bank from 1927 through 1931. Suddenly the ledgers showed the property in the name
of the City. It has been in the City's name since that time. There is no indication of tax
foreclosure. Never found a deed.
Recommendations are to clear up Lot 37 title through title search and /or quiet title. Replat to
vacate internal lot lines and to continue as tot -lot, and upgrade to a better park.

Hoben Park
Located at the south end of Fourth Avenue, this is the most historic park in Seward. In 1923,
businessman and former mayor, Harry Hoben, created a grand waterfront park to promote
Seward as the "Gateway to Alaska" in time to welcome President Harding, the first president to
visit the Territory of Alaska. Through the decades, the park bore various names including Arcade
Park, Niles Park, Shriner's Park, Ladies Park, Iditarod Park, and finally, Hoben Park. The city park
was listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 2006.
The
fountain has been restored. The Iditarod Trail Sign and George Wiley Memorial monument were
relocated to the Founder's/Iditarod Park area. The wall has been rebuilt in the correct location.
Recommendations are to retain land ownership and continue historic park preservation.

Map 44. Waterfront Park and Campground
Access points are numerous. Located on tidelands and railroad right of way acquired from the
state, federal government and tax foreclosures. The park stretches approximately 1 mile along
the waterfront totaling over 36 acres. This park is made up of many different parcels from a
number of subdivisions including Original Townsite, Federal Addition, Laubner Addition, tidelands,
ARR ROW, USS 605, USS 606, USS 1116, and USS 2830. The city re -platted the entire area in
June 2012. The park is divided into various public campgrounds and day use areas. Facilities
include public restrooms, showers, the Founder's Monument, day use areas, a playground, the
Iditarod Trail Bike path, fishing sites, a gazebo, benches and a ballfield. Portions of the sites are
used in the winter for snow storage. The City has received open space credit with the National
Flood Insurance Program for the Waterfront Park Area.
Recommendations are to continue existing uses and develop a "conservation overlay district".

These tracts were acquired in 1992 in lieu of an easement during the T-line construction project.
Tract H is critical to the power line as it is an angle point where the power line changes direction.
It also includes an important switch that allows the power to be isolated when the City is on
generators. The second parcel parallels the highway, above Grouse Creek and contains the T-
line.
Recommendations are to retain land ownership and restrict public access for safety reasons.

Map 53. Boardwalk Sites
The following seven (7) lease sites, commonly called the Boardwalk Sites, are located
within Block 6 of the Seward Boat Harbor Subdivision. Initiated in the mid 1980's, the
original concept was to provide a low-cost site to encourage small business development
in the harbor area. Originally buildings were allowed on skids; water and sewer were not
required; each site was ±900 square feet and was leased for a 10-year period with a
single three-year extension option. In the late 1990's, at the end of the leases, the sites
were required to install water and sewer, the lease sites were expanded and buildings
were required to meet building codes. Most buildings were removed and new ones
constructed. A few were raised and foundations built beneath them. Recommendation
for all Boardwalk Sites is to retain land ownership and leases.

Harbor Holdings, LLC (1-O9-070)
Originally developed in 1968 as a marine parts/equipment business. Lease included an illegal
exclusive float moorage clause. A new 30-year fair market lease was issued in 1988 as an
incentive to close out the moorage agreement. Building was later used as a restaurant and then
the original Park Service office/visitor center. The back area was fenced for outdoor storage by
the Fish House. Subsequently, the structures were all removed. The current building was
developed, which now houses Subway, the Creamery, Bakery, a charter office, small fish
processing operation, and an apartment. Lease expires July 12, 2030 plus two 5-year extension
options. Assessed Land Value (2019): $299,300.

Fort Raymond (South Corner Sea Lion & Seward Hwy)
Located south of Sea Lion Avenue between Dimond Blvd. and the Seward Hwy. The original
larger parcel was purchased from the State in 1967, for $1, for development of a campground as
part of the Alaska Centennial. The deed restricted us to "public recreational purposes." The
restrictions have been removed. The property was subsequently subdivided. This parcel remains
vacant except for a 100-foot-wide power line easement. It is not within a FEMA mapped
floodplain. Transmission Power Lines bisect the lot.
Recommendations are to retain ownership and retain easement for power line. Evaluate
opportunities as they are presented. Consider parcel for Fire Department Annex Station as per
Resolution 2002-007 & 34. Work with KPB to update LOMAR mapping. Rezone to Auto
Commercial. And possible sell for residential development.

SURPLUS LANDS - NONE
These lands appear to have no public use and do not appear suited for lease development.
They are generally considered surplus and it is recommended that they be disposed of through
sale or trade.
TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY - NONE
At the time of this revision of the land management plan, the City does not have any tax
foreclosed properties in its inventory. Properties for tax foreclosure inside the city limits are
deeded to the city by State Statutes, tax foreclosure properties are presented to the City
Council to declare whether they are needed for a public use or surplus.
As the community develops, public land needs expand beyond what is already owned by the
City. The following is a list of properties that have been identified for acquisition.

DOT/PF Maintenance Shop and Storage Lot
The City and the State have a Memorandum of Understanding that addresses the need to move
this type of use out of the core town area. Funding has been the big limitation. If it becomes
vacant, it might be available to the City under municipal entitlement.
The shop lot is located on the north side of B Street at the Fifth Avenue intersection. The State
of Alaska DOT/PF built a new shop and maintenance facility at mile 23 Seward Hwy in 2013. The
old facility currently remains open in Seward. The storage lot is located on the southeast corner
of B Street and Fifth Avenue, it is used for overflow storage.
Recommendations are if the State Shop completely moves out of town, to pursue acquiring the
properties under the municipal entitlement, and rezone to Urban Residential (UR).

Where possible the city should strive to:
a) Require dedication of land during subdivision re -platting to widen sub -standard
rights -of -way.
b) Lease terms should be for the shortest term possible to amortize development
financing and allow for windows of opportunity to make changes consistent with
then current policy.
c) Replat city property to vacate lot lines and consolidate lots.
d) Continue to require leases to replat parcels into legal subdivisions.
e) Maximize long term revenues from city lands.
f) Where possible, when leases expire and it is mutually determined to continue the
lease, issue new agreement documents updated to current standards.
g) Develop a Land Bank account to use for the sale and purchase of city lands.
Leverage sale of land for infrastructure expansion.
h) Develop a Conservation Overlay District to protect critical natural lands.
i) Develop a bank of funds from land sales to use for City projects and
infrastructure.
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
While it is hoped that actions presented in this plan will be implemented, it is recognized that
plans must be flexible to reflect condition changes and funding availability necessary to
implement certain recommendations. Plans are key program documents and should be utilized
to assist in capital budgeting process of the City of Seward. The goal of any plan is for it to be
implemented. In order to ensure the successful implementation of this Municipal Lands
Management Plan and enable the City to realize its benefits, it should be adopted by City
Council resolution and incorporated by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City normally reviews its Comprehensive Plan annually with an overall update every five
years. It is strongly urged that the Municipal Land Management Plan be reviewed and updated
on the same schedule. An annual review will help track accomplishments, changes and any
inadvertent omissions. Because dynamic changes in community needs and politics occur daily,
it is vital that up to date information upon which to make management, planning and budgeting
decisions is available to the administration and the City Council.
