This platting action creates two new parcels, Lot 4 &5, Block 6, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision SMIC, Duchess Replat, by subdividing Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC, Unsubdivided Remainder of Block 6, also known as 110 Olga Street Seward, Alaska in the Seward Marine Industrial Center. Duchess LLC requested this platting action to establish a parcel, Lot 5, which they would lease for boat storage from the City of Seward. Roads and electric are currently accessible to the proposed parcels, and sewer is available on the north end where the proposed parcel for lease is located. However, water is not available. International Fire Code requires a fire hydrant to be installed if a building is constructed within a distance greater than 500 feet from an existing fire hydrant. The applicant has been informed of this requirement. The City has plans to extend the water and sewer lines to all of the parcels in SMIC that do not currently have access as development and use demands. According to Seward City Code 16.01.015, property owners within 300 feet of the requested platting action were notified, and the property was posted with public notice signage. On April 4, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and approved Resolution 2023- 006, which recommended the City Council approve the proposed platting action in the Duchess Replat. In accordance with Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a plat before submittal to the Borough for approval. In addition, Seward City Code requires that any platting action done to City owned land must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as the City Council prior to recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 229 Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: Vo/1 Ch 2.2.11 -The Comprehensive Plan encourages completing the development of SMIC as a revenue source with year-round employment opportunities.
