City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: November 28, 2022
To: City Council
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Community Development Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-115: Recommending City Council and Kenai Peninsula
Borough Approval of the Preliminary Replat of Fort Raymond
Subdivision, Replat No. 1, Lot 12A; Located at 911 Hemlock Ave;
Creating Hemlock Subdivision, Tracts A and B
Background and justification:
Attached for the Council's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning
Commission is a preliminary replat submitted by R&M Consults, Inc, on behalf of the City of
Seward. This platting action will create Hemlock Subdivision, Tracts A and B, by subdividing Fort
Raymond Subdivision, Replat No. 1, Lot 12A, also known as 911 Hemlock Ave.
On September 12, 2022 the Seward City Council approved Resolution 2022-097, which authorized
the City Manager to execute a task order with R&M Consultants for the replat and rezone of Lot
12A, Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat No. 1, which contains the Forest Acres Campground and
the Seward Community Bike Park.
The 2014 Municipal Lands Inventory and Management plan states that recommendation for this
parcel of land is"sell with sound development plan."The Seward Community Bike Park was built
in the summer of 2019, and is not ever intended to be sold. As it's recommended use is
incongruent with the parcel as a whole, it is necessary to replat the parcel into two separate
Tracts; Tract A, which would include Forest Acres campground, and Tract B, which would include
the Seward Community Bike Park.
No new rights-of-way or utilities are required for this platting action. The use of these new parcels
will remain the same. If Tract A is sold with a sound development plan in the future, a subdivision
agreement will be required at that time which would meet the required public improvements
listed in Seward City Code §16.05.010.
In accordance with Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a plat before
submittal to the Borough for approval.
