Action Memorandum 2022-001
Meeting Date: November 16, 2022
To: Port and Commerce Advisory Board (PACAB)
From: Stephen Sowell, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Action Memorandum 2022-001: Recommending City Council Updates to the
2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan List
Background and justification:
Each year, the City Council compiles a list of capital improvement projects that are deemed to be
vital for the benefit of the Seward Community. This Capital Improvement Plan does not
appropriate funds for the indicated projects. Approval and appropriations for individual projects
will be brought to Council through separate resolution or through future budgets. However, this
list is compiled as a compliment to the operating budget as it establishes the priorities for capital
projects. PACAB has a role to play in providing input on this list for City Council.
The Port and Commerce Advisory Board feels that the below items should be included in the City
of Seward 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Plan Priority List:
1. Feasibility study to determine the cost and preliminary design and engineering for a new
Harbormaster Office
2. Heated sidewalk improvements to be connected to the forthcoming Heat Loop System

SEWARD MARINE INDUSTRIAL CENTER
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION During the mid-1970's, the City began developing a plan to create
an industrial complex at the Fourth of July Creek area to service the maritime industry. The
City annexed the valley in 1977, acquired lands through the Alaska Statehood Act Municipal
Entitlement, and completed the 1979 Fourth of July Creek Industrial Development
Feasibility Study. That study identified four examples of industries that would be more likely
than others to locate in the Fourth of July Creek area: fisheries, shipyard, petrochemical
processing, and heavy industry such as ore refining and bulk freight handling.
The foundation for the project was a shipbuilding facility proposed by the Danish firm
Burmeister -Wain to meet the high demand for new vessels in the king crab fisheries. With
the crash of the fish stock in 1980, the project evolved into a mix of ship repair facilities,
general cargo, fisheries processing, and other industrial uses. The project today is essentially
as described in the 1980 Century-Quadra report entitled Fourth of July Creek Industrial
Marine Park Project Description and shown on Figure 2 - Project Overview and Figure 3 -
Site Plan (Appendix Exhibits C & D).
Upon completion of a comprehensive 1981 Environmental Impact Assessment, the City
embarked on a multi -year construction project that ultimately invested the majority of the
City's share of the port bonds and State oil revenues in an access road, the relocation of
Fourth of July Creek, a retaining dike, basin, breakwater, and shiplift. With a State grant,
new investment work has been done to the North Dock and a new floating dock for a total
investment of approximately $65 million.
Access, utilities and land availability helped spawn development of the sawmill and the
prison within the boundaries of the Fourth of July Creek valley complex. The shiplift has
been operational since 1985, and a building was erected to cover large barges and vessels,
new break room, and machine shop buildings. Development activity continues to occur in
the area known as the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC).
THE PLAN
GOAL An action -oriented document to guide the City and private enterprise in
completing the development of a vibrant and successful marine industrial
center
The Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan is a direct outgrowth of the
community's desire to enhance, encourage, and promote an atmosphere favorable for
additional private sector economic development at the Seward Marine Industrial Center.
For the purpose of this plan, the Seward Marine Industrial Center is considered to include
the 128.5 acres immediately adjacent to the harbor basin, south of Spring Creek and west of
1
the prison property (Tract A and Tract B, Johnson —Swift Subdivision, USS No. 1651, Parcel
ID 14533004 [Appendix Exhibits A and B]).
The Seward Marine Industrial Center Development Plan becomes a component of the City
of Seward Comprehensive Plan. Whereas the comprehensive plan contains both advisory
and binding elements, this Plan contains only advisory elements comprised of goals, issues,
and actions. The binding element of the comprehensive plan is the Land Use Plan which is
a legal document that must be adhered to and can be revised only by ordinance.
As part of the process of finalizing the Plan, the City solicited initial suggestions from various
public boards and commissions and interested groups such as the Seward Chamber of
Commerce. The draft Plan was presented to the public at advertised public hearings and
through review by the aforementioned groups. The issues raised and recommendations
made by those individuals and organizations are reflected in this document. The original
Plan was approved by the Seward City Council in 1995. It was then updated in 2008 and
reviewed in 2011. The most recent update was completed in 2018.
An effective plan is one which is implemented. The City of Seward has a track record of
accomplishing actions outlined in its plans. Recommendations from previous plans that have
been accomplished within the SMIC area include:
• Syncrolift with upland rail system
• 315 ton Travelift
• Bulk fuel facility
• 430' North Dock
• Fisheries dock and plant improvements
• New DEC approved outfall
• Electrical substation
• Primary electrical service
• 34 individual power stalls, water, and sewer systems
• Secondary sewer treatment plant
• Preliminary real estate subdivision plat
• Some fill and cargo laydown area
• Some utility improvements including area lighting
• Campground improvements
• Some real estate development (leases and sales)
• New 400 and 800 Amp service located at the North Dock
• Rubble mound breakwater
• Wash down pad
• 10-ton crane
• 315' floating dock (Fisherman's Float)
• Building for wash down pad
• Fenders on North Dock
• Widening of the 315 ton Travelift and Travelift pit

BASIC MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE
GOAL Continuation of Upland Development
The Basin envisioned by the 1980 Century-Quadra concept was enclosed, protected and
dredged to -21 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) to accommodate medium -draft vessels
for ship repair, cargo off loading, and general moorage. The basin has been dredged to design
with -25 foot berths adjacent to the Shiplift Dock and the North Dock. The basin is protected
by a rip rap breakwater along the east shoreline, by a filled sheet pile cell breakwater along
the south and southwest, and by sheet piling along a section of the North Dock. It is still open
to the bay along the west and northwest sides.
Unlike a rock rip rap breakwater, the gravel -filled interconnecting sheet pile cellular
cofferdams making up the South Breakwater require regular maintenance to prevent
failure.
1. Monitor and repair South Breakwater anodes as needed.
Docks described in the 1980 Century-Quadra concept included an inner dock along the
north basin shoreline, deep -water sheet pile cell breakwater and dock enclosing the basin, a
ship repair dock, a boat ramp, and other miscellaneous docks. A ship repair dock, small fish
processing dock, barge ramp, and medium draft cargo dock have been constructed and are
in operation.
There is a growing demand for additional General -Purpose Moorage dock space.
1. Construet a north south doeli approximately 315' to Mr -age within the
basin (under eonstruetion at this time).
2-.1.Finish surfaci!1gSu T*ee the North Dock and staging areas with concrete, asphalt,
crushed rock, or Roto-Mill (crushed asphalt) including the installation of drainage
pipes.
The Barge Ramp repairs haves Heverbeen completed_ aHd thereis a about its Heed-.
"',Maintain the Fisheries Dock per lease agreement.
The 315 ton Travelift Dock has beenlis being widened to accommodate the newly widened
Travelift. Estimated .
The Shiplift Dock is maintained per a Maintenance and Operating (M&O) agreement with
the Syncrolift lessee.
.Repair or replace Syncrolift dock ladders, bumpering system and corrosion control
of the pipe piling in the splash zone by application of a protective coating.
,:A�.Monitor maintenance of the Shiplift Dock per M&O agreement for the useful life of
the facility.
Shiplift Operations are divided between the mobile 315 ton Travelift and the 5000 long
ton Syncrolift platform. The Syncrolift was an integral part of the original SMIC concept
plan. The Travelift was purchased and put into operation by the City in 1990 and upgraded
to a 315 ton Travelift in 2015 to fill the demand for lifting vessels too small to economically
use the Syncrolift platform but too large for the City's 50 ton Travelift.
A number of improvements relative to the 315 ton Travelift operation have been identified.
1. Expand existing water and electrical systems in the boat storage area.
2. Encourage the development of full -service work stations for major maintenance/
construction projects on vessels in order to limit the degree of maintenance allowed
in the storage area.
3. Provide additional restrooms as needed.
The Syncrolift, although owned by the City, is operated by a contractor through a
Maintenance and Operating Agreement.
The Uplands forming SMIC were for the most part created from the material dredged
during the formation of the basin. The original design called for a grade of 18 feet above
MLLW. The roads are to grade, but some of the land is below desired grade. Drainage
ditches were placed along Delphin and Olga Streets and the north property line to divert
water runoff in the summer. During winter, ditches and culverts freeze causing runoff to
pool in the lower areas behind roads.
1. Provide engineer -designed drainage.
2. Fill and grade the storage area to the correct elevation for the continued
improvement of drainage.
M
3. Add to Article 18 of all new leases, under Maintenance, "Do not push snow into
ditches."
MANAGEMENT
GOAL A management level that is responsive to the needs of its customers and users,
adequately serves the public's needs, protects the City's investment, and
ensures public safety
Security and concerns related to potential environmental pollution grow as the number of
boats, cargo, and equipment on -site increases. Sufficient revenues are necessary for effective
on -site management and security of this public facility.
1. Seek a rate of return from the use of public facilities, land assets, and equipment that
will adequately cover deferred maintenance and replacement costs.
a. Examine electric rate method of calculating charges to users
b. Examine credit card rate method of calculating charges to users
2. Continue to review the Upland Boat Work Policy and Best Management Practices to
ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act and Local, State, and Federal laws and
regulations where they apply.
3. Ensure that the facility and uses are consistent with the requirements of the Maritime
Security Act of 2002 33.CFR 104.105 and maintain the Facility Use Plan.
LAND USE
GOAL Sound, maximized, and coordinated development of private and public
uplands and facilities in support of the needs of the users and visitors
Platting The City has formulated a subdivision of SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek
Valley. The subdivision plat dedicates roads and provides as -built utility and access
easements. It creates legal lots for existing leases and leaves the majority of the SMIC area
in blocks.
1. Maintain an accurate map through survey and plat amendments for all current and
future leases.
Land Values In order to provide adequate public services and maintenance at SMIC, it is
important that the City receive a fair market value —the current rate is 8% annually of the
appraised value —for the use of its limited land assets.
61
1. Reappraise the lease landAdjust the annual rental payment every five years_: The
adjusted annual rental payment shall be the appraised fair market rental value of
the leased land at the highest and best use of the leased land.
2. Increase the annual rental payment every year in an amount that reflects the
increase, if any, in the cost of living for the previous year as stated in the Consumer
Price Index, All Urban Consumers, Anchorage, Alaska Area, All Items 1967=100
("CPI"), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Land Uses SMIC is zoned Industrial. The Seward Zoning Code, Table 15.10.225 Land
Uses Allowed, establishes what uses are allowed within that district. Uses allowed within the
SMIC should focus on strengthening and enhancing the area as a center for marine and other
compatible industries.
1. Review Table 15.10.225 to ensure the uses listed are compatible with the overall
intent of the SMIC area.
Parks and Recreation Under State statutes, the City is required to provide public access
along Spring Creek, Fourth of July Creek, and Resurrection Bay. Although the area is
principally industrial, limited recreation opportunities can be made available without
interfering with surrounding industrial uses.
1. Maintain access from Nash Road to the mouth of Spring Creek and provide a
camping area, and include signage of the access route.
2. Maintain separation between the campground and industrial uses. A chain link fence
will be installed to separate the North Dock from the Campground.
MARKETING
GOAL A comprehensive marketing program primarily targeting fisheries, ship
repair, and marine transportation industries along with a healthy and
complementary mix of commercial support businesses
Current City marketing efforts include: attendance at trade shows, overseas trade missions,
brochures, and advertising.
1. Maintain a sign along Nash Road and central to the SMIC area showing what lands
are available for lease (Appendix Exhibit E).
2. Maintain a fair market value base line from which leases will be negotiated.
3. Continue to encourage multiple users.
0
4. Evaluate utility rates to encourage more usage while ensuring a fair return to the
public utility system.
5. Continue to support the Seward Chamber of Commerce as the marketing arm of the
City of Seward.
TRANSPORTATION
GOAL An adequate transportation infrastructure that will serve the needs of the
industrial complex, allow for growth, and attract new business to the
community
Roads: Nash Road provides the only ground access to SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek
area. To adequately serve SMIC and attract new industries, it is of the utmost importance to
maintain and improve the public road system to the highest standard economically possible.
1. Postpone paving interior SMIC streets until site and utility developments are
completed.
Although Parking has not been a problem in the past, as more activity develops it will
become imperative that vehicles park in designated areas off public roads and away from
equipment activity.
1. Ensure that all lease sites include adequate area to comply with parking
requirements set forth in the zoning code, and that lessees provide on -site parking
for employees and customers.
2. Maintain signage in parking areas in support of the public docks.
Although not directly associated with SMIC, having a well -maintained Airport is an
important transportation link for the delivery of parts, goods, and services to the industrial
center businesses.
1. Continue to work with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities to improve airport facilities and protect it from river flooding and erosion.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
GOAL A full range of public facilities and services adequate to provide a safe and
comfortable work environment for users and visitors
7
Public Facilities are currently limited from available to non -available.
1. Include construction of an additional public restroom/shower facility in the City's
Capital Project Plan.
2. Improve paving, fill, fencing, and storm water drainage collection and treatment
infrastructure as development occurs.
Public Safety The distance from town limits police coverage to an occasional patrol and
also increases fire response time. Although a pumper/ladder truck is located in the harbor
storage building, there are no scheduled trained fire department personnel on -site to operate
them. The fire truck is staged on -site and ready for volunteer personnel.
1. Evaluate each new development as to its impact on fire and police services.
2. Complete water system to loop all lines or upsize all cross -feeder lines and provide
additional fire hydrants as needed.
3. Identify and reserve a site for a fire station to serve the Fourth of July Valley area.
4. Include a separate fire station in Capital Project Plan, to accommodate more
and/or larger equipment and supplies to support increased industrial development.
Possibly include a joint small office for Seward Police.
5. Explore possible cooperative arrangements with Spring Creek Correctional Facility
staff to provide initial fire or other public safety needs.
Public Utilities such as primary water, sewer, and electrical service systems have not been
extended throughout the undeveloped SMIC areas (Appendix Exhibits FI-F3). The cost of
extending these utilities creates a disincentive to the establishment of smaller businesses.
1. Improve the water and electrical systems in areas associated with the 315 ton
Travelift to accommodate increased public use.
2. Include in City capital planning the extension of electrical, sewer, and water
throughout the industrial area.
3. Support updating Seward City Code to facilitate utility extension development.
4. Continue to place all electric utilities below ground.
ENVIRONMENT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
GOAL A high level of environmental regulatory compliance and a clean work
environment
Environmental Concerns The objective of the City is to maintain a clean work
environment and to protect the land, water, and air to the highest degree possible without
making the area prohibitive for the type of activities associated with industrial areas.
1. Require compliance with all rules and regulations of the Environmental Protection
Agency and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
2. Maintain policies and procedures for monitoring and ensuring vessel storage/ repair
site clean-up.
3. Maintain and distribute use guidelines to lessees, operators, and users of the area for
ship repair —including minor repairs, sand blasting, and painting.
Waste Management is integral to managing a successful industrial area where large
amounts of waste are generated. Separation of steel, wood, and general garbage is required
at the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) solid waste facility. It is illegal to dump used oil in
solid waste containers.
1. Continue implementation and improvements of a program to control the separation,
collection, recycling, and disposal of waste generated at the industrial center in
accordance with established environmental policies and regulations/ requirements of
the KPB solid waste facility.
2. Continue to improve used oil collection procedures and disposal facilities to meet the
demands of user groups and to ensure a clean environment.
3. Improve methods to monitor waste material disposal to control and reduce the costs
associated with the collection of solid and liquid waste materials.
4. Maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
APPEARANCE
GOAL A high standard of aesthetic appearance and cleanliness through landscaping,
litter control efforts, and development of public amenities that are in keeping
with the industrial maritime theme of the area
Landscaping and Beautification Industrial areas do not have to be barren and devoid
of natural aesthetics. An atmosphere that is pleasant and attractive to users and visitors alike
can be cultivated through thoughtful planning and landscaping efforts.
1. Where possible, reduce scrap metal storage, trash, and other materials that may be
considered offensive to the casual observer.
9
2. Ensure that all businesses comply with City codes regarding the collection and
disposal of trash.
SIGNS, ZONING, BUILDING
GOAL A high level of public and private compliance with Seward City Code
Signs Adequate public signing is important to provide directions, identify streets, point out
public facilities, and post rules and regulations for visitors. Private signing identifies places
of business.
1. Review public signing to ensure that it is adequate to the needs of the public and the
City.
2. Ensure private signing meets Seward City Code.
3. Maintain a sign along Nash Road identifying and welcoming visitors to the Seward
Marine Industrial Center.
4. Maintain a sign denoting lands for lease with contact information.
5. Support north and southbound directional signage to SMIC at the corner of the
Seward Highway and Nash road.
Zoning code development requirements regulate open space for fire prevention/fighting,
air and light.
1. Recognize that current zoning codes could limit necessary and appropriate
development.
2. Support variance requests for height and set -back requirements as approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Buildings constructed to code are important to ensure safe working conditions and to add
to the community tax base. The City has adopted building, fire, mechanical, electrical, and
plumbing codes.
1. Ensure that all structures, permanent or temporary, are constructed to adopted
building and fire code standards.
10
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
GOAL Adoption of the plan by resolution of the City Council and implementation by
all identified participants
For the City of Seward to realize the benefits of the SMIC Development Plan and thereby
ensure sound growth and development, actions must be taken not only by the City of Seward
but by many other players within the community and the Borough, State, and Federal
Governments.
Following are specific actions which are necessary to ensure the successful implementation
of this Plan:
Adopting a Plan shows commitment and establishes policy. Council should, by resolution,
adopt the Plan based upon recommendations of the Port and Commerce Advisory Board
and the Planning and Zoning Commission every 5 years, next plan adoption should be in
2023.
Use the Plan to guide the City of Seward in the appropriate quality growth and
development of the SMIC. Consistent with its original intent, the Plan will remain flexible.
While it is intended that all actions presented in this Plan will be implemented, it is
recognized that changing conditions in the future may necessitate modifications of planned
actions or the introduction of additional actions to satisfy local needs. The City recognizes
the critical role of plans as key program documents to guide the community's capital
budgeting process.
It is recommended that the SMIC Development Plan be reviewed annually and updated
within rive years, or more often as needed. An annual review will help track
accomplishments, changes, and inadvertent omissions.
