PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolutions Requiring Public Hearing
Resolution 2023-016: of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska,
Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Tom Tougas,to Construct a Bunkhouse at 1804 Leirer Road,
Leirer Industrial Subdivision, Tract B; Within an Industrial (I)Zoning District
Motion (CharbonneauNerhey) Approve Resolution 2023-016
Community Planner Courtney Bringhurst said the proposed structure met the zoning
code requirements for an industrial zone which allowed for 100% lot coverage. The area was
surrounded by industrial properties. Water needed to be extended from an adjacent parcel.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Carol Griswold,inside the city,was opposed to this resolution. She suggested moving the
residential bunkhouse to a different location. She provided suggestions for how to improve the
Conditional Use Permit, such as adding more parking stalls. Griswold noted some of the
documents in the packet were incomplete.
Tom Tougas,inside the city, said most of the people who would live in this facility would
be boat deck hand employees. He compared the bunkhouse to the green triplex on Resurrection
Blvd. He expressed some concern over a propane tank at the edge of the property. He had no
problem with an additional parking stall. He felt the employers who had the best housing also had
the best employees.
No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Charbonneau had three amendments in mind that he wanted to propose.
Motion to Amend (Charbonneau/Verhey) Include One ADA Parking Stall For A
Total Of Nine Parking Stalls
Amendment 41 Passed Unanimous

Motion to Amend (Charbonneau/Verhey) Add A Timeline That Landscaping Must
Be Completed Within One Year Of
Structure Completion
Amendment 42 Passed Unanimous
Motion to Amend (Charbonneau/Verhey) Add A 3-Wall Structure And A Roof
Around The Refuse Containers
Amendment#3 Passed Unanimous
Hornseth had concerns about allowing more people to live in an industrial zone. He felt the
industrial zone had these conditions for a reason and was not compatible with residential use.
Ulman noted there were other bunkhouses in the industrial zone.
Charbonneau also had concerns about a bunkhouse in an industrial zone. He wanted to shy
away from housing in industrial zones.
Sullivan wanted to look closer industrial zones and consider rezoning them to auto-
commercial.
Planning & Zoning Commission suspended the rules at 7:26 p.m.to allow applicant Tom Tougas
to speak.
Tougas said there were very few options for employee housing in Seward. He agreed there
should be more auto-commercial lots available to build these types of facilities. Right next to this
property were a lot of existing bunkhouses in the area. He wished there was a better solution, but
it was difficult to find property.
Planning& Zoning Commission went back on the rules at 7:28p.m.
Charbonneau empathized with the lack of auto-commercial zoning for employee housing.
Ulman felt this was the best spot that Tougas could find, but the zoning didn't match.
Sullivan wanted to re-look at the industrial zones and consider re-zoning to auto-
commercial.
Main Motion as Amended Passed Yes: Verhey, Charbonneau, Ulman,
Sullivan
No: Hornseth

1, 1B-1, and 2A-1
Motion (CharbonneauNerhey) Approve Resolution 2023-017
Community Planner Courtney Bringhurst noted a housekeeping change in the first
Whereas about the Alaska Sealife Center. She summarized the agenda statement and
recommended approval of the resolution.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Jeff Hetrick, outside the city,was the applicant and spoke in support of the resolution. The
preliminary replat would help with a variety of projects and improvement opportunities.
No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Charbonneau said the replat looked pretty straight forward.
Sullivan noted it looked like a win-win situation.

Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
Through:
From: Courtney Bringhurst,Acting Community Development Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2023-015: Recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough Approval
of the Preliminary Replat of Original Townsite of Seward, Shea Replat,Lot
25A, Block 14; Located at 308 Second Ave; Creating Seward Original
Townsite,Verhey Replat, Lot 25A-1 and Lot 26A, Block 14
Background and justification:
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Planning Commission is a preliminary replat submitted by Stacy Wessel on behalf of Richard,
Janette, and Vanessa Verhey.
This replat does not create any additional lots. The size and boundaries for the original Lot 25A
and the west '/2 of Lot 26 and 27 are being modified. Lot 25A will be returned to the original 30'
x 100' lot size, and the north portion of Lot 25A will be combined with the west'/2 portion of Lots
26 and 27 to form one 60' x 100' lot. The home located on the west '/2 of Lot 26 and 27 has a
dwelling unit upstairs that is only accessibly from the stairs on the east side of the building. Those
stairs encroach onto Lot 25A and can only be accessed by crossing Lot 25A. The proposed replat
will fix this encroachment and issues with access.
The home located on Lot 25A is currently a non-conforming structure due to inadequate side yard
setbacks. The proposed replat will create an additional non-conformity of lot coverage since the
footprint of the home will take up 46% of the lot instead of the required 35%. Proposed Lot 25A-
1 still provides adequate parking for a single-family home with a one-car garage and parking space
on the east side of the home.
All conditions required by Seward City Code §16.01.015, Conditions to plat approval, were met.
The property owners within 300 feet of the requested replat were notified of the proposed
subdivision, and the property was posted with public notice signage.
In accordance with Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a plat before
submittal to the Borough for approval.
Subdivision Review:
Zoning: The property is zoned Single-Family Residential (RI).
Size: Lot 25A-1 will be 3,000 square feet and Lot 26A will be 6,000 square feet.
Utilities: All city utilities are already available and connected to the properties.
8
Existin- Use: The Lots currently have dwellings built on them and are used for residential
purposes.
Access: Both lots have access to Second Ave to the west and an alley to the east.
Flood Zone: According to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Floodplain map, the parcels are not
within a flood zone.

City of Seward
Planning and Zoning Commission
410 Adams Street City Hall Building
Seward, AK 99664
Subject: Preliminary Plat-Verhey Replat
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
This letter addresses encroachments observed while conducting a survey at 308 and 310 2"d Avenue St.,
and how the replat will resolve these issues.
This plat reconfigures three existing lots into two lots.
1. Lot 26A will be created by combining the W l of Lot 26 and 27, Block 14 and the northerly
portion of Lot 25A, Block 14 into one lot.A two-story building exists at 310 2"d Avenue.
a. Any encroachments by the building(310 2"d Ave) and its appurtenances onto the W1/2
of Lot 26 onto the W 1/2 of Lot 27 and onto the northerly portion of Lot 25A, Block 14
will be resolved when Lot 26A is created.Currently,there is a boardwalk/walk-way that
extends from the front of the house into Second Ave.The boardwalk, is a couple inches
above grade, and does not appear to be a permanent structure fixed to the ground.The
boardwalk serves as a safe pathway from the parking area to the existing building and
does not impede nor obstruct traffic.
2. The southerly remainder of Lot 25A, Block 14,will create approximately a 30' by 100' lot that
was originally platted by the Townsite of Seward.A single-story building exists at 308 2"d
Avenue.
a. A boardwalk wraps around the northerly part of the building.The boardwalk extends a
little bit more than%foot into the W1/2 of Lot 26.The boardwalk is similar to the one
described above, its a couple inches above grade, and does not appear to be a
permanent structure fixed to the ground.
b. There is a short,wooden retaining wall that extends from the SW corner of 310 2nd Ave,
jags towards the westerly property line of Lot 25 A, Block 14, runs parallel along said
property line,then protrudes west extending into 2"d Ave.The wooden retaining wall
serves to support the parking area in front of both buildings and protects the change of
grade between the parking area and buildings.The wooden retaining wall does not
impede nor obstruct traffic.
