She explained how this replat would divide the land into two parcels. She also commented on a 50-foot easement in the campground area that was reviewed with the Public Works Director. The recommendation was to vacate the public access easement and collaborate with Parks and Recreation for better access options as development continues. Bringhurst noted that the public did not require a designated public access easement to access the property once it was rezoned as a park. She spoke of the primary purpose of the current 50-foot public access easement was to ensure public access to the beach. She also spoke of the support of the recommendation to vacate the easement for flexibility for future development or access planning. [Stacy Wessel, AK Land Surveyor, was on the phone if the commission had any questions.] Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. The commission discussed public access and land management near Spring Creek, emphasizing the public's right to beach access under the Alaska State Constitution, which included private property within beach grass or tideland areas. The commission highlighted challenges with unclear boundaries, survey costs, and easement agreements for formal access points. Proposals included rezoning areas like Spring Creek Campground as parkland to secure recreational use. Concerns about boundaries, private land access, and physical barriers like the creek were raised. Further research and negotiation were deemed necessary to establish practical and legal access routes while protecting public rights. 6 City of Seward, Alaska Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 7, 2025 Volume 8, Page Further discussion included adjusting the 50-foot utility easement for a sewer line near Spring Creek to accommodate a separate 10-foot pedestrian easement. Overlapping easements were considered, but concerns arose about maintaining unencumbered access for utility repairs. Public Works suggested relabeling the utility easement as a "50-foot sewer easement" to prevent additional uses. A separate pedestrian easement parallel to Spring Creek was proposed as a compromise to balance utility access and public needs. The commission was open to this approach to address both priorities. Resolution 2025-001 was amended to change the name to Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC), Spring Creek Park Replat. Resolution 2025-001 was amended to add Section 2. 10'-20' public easement to plat for pedestrian public access easement. Main Motion as Amended Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-002, Recommending Seward City Council and Kenai Peninsula Borough Approval of the Preliminary Plat of Tract B, Block 10, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC, Spring Creek Replat; Lot 3, Block 8, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC Seward Ship's Drydock Replat; and Lot 4A-4, Block 7, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC, JAG Replat; Located at 3207, 3311, & 3314 Sorrel Road; Creating Tracts B-1 & B-2, Block 10 and Lots 4A-5 & 4A-6, Block 7, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC, Park Replat Motion (Charbonneau/Sullivan) Approval of Resolution 2025-002 Bringhurst noted a corrected application was included for proper documentation. The proposed plat involved parking and trail access for Fourth of July Beach and the intention was to rezone as park. She also addressed a second parcel near Sorrel Road would include beach parking. The 50- foot cul-de-sac at Sorrel Road was confirmed to meet standards which removed the need for further verification. Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. Resolution 2025-002 was amended to strike Section 1. The Commission hereby recommends that a full cul Resolution 2025-002 was amended to update the replat with the name Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC), Fourth of July Beach Park Replat. Main Motion as Amended Passed NEW BUSINESS Resolutions Unanimous City of Seward, Alaska Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 7, 2025 Volume 8, Page Resolution 2025-003, Recommending Seward City Council and Kenai Peninsula Borough Approval of the Preliminary Plat of Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block 10, Original Townsite of Seward; Located at 237 & 235 Fourth Ave; Creating Lot 1A, Block 10, Seward Original Townsite, Kawabe Park Replat Motion (Sullivan/Charbonneau) Approval of Resolution 2025-003 Bringhurst clarified that the replat of Kawabe Park was a straightforward process that did not require a public hearing. This replat involved vacating the interior lot lines from the historic Seward Townsite Plat. The park zoning, use, and boundaries would remain unchanged. The replat would consolidate the area into a single 9,000-square-foot lot, with no alterations to its current designation or purpose. Motion Passed Other New Business Discussion of building height overlay Unanimous The commission considered proposals for building height overlays within the city to present to the City Council. The commission discussed maintaining the current 34-foot height limit across all zoning districts and explored overlay areas where buildings could be up to 38-feet (three stories) and 50-feet (four stories) could be permitted. Commissioners discussed potential areas along Seward Highway, SMIC, and specific sections of downtown for taller buildings. They considered factors like impacts, viewshed, zoning compatibility, and public safety. Their concerns included effects on the city's small-town atmosphere, infrastructure demands, and public feedback. Commissioners emphasized the need for a public work session before finalizing any recommendations. The goal was to approach the upcoming Joint Work Session with general proposals and rationale while leaving detailed decisions for subsequent discussions. Discuss work session topic for Tuesday, January 21, 2025 The commission set their work session topic for Tuesday, January 21, 2025 to include: Municipal Lands Inventory and Management Plan Provide recommendations for city -owned land that could be used for housing P&Z Priorities The commission also wanted to review documents in preparation for the upcoming Joint Work Session with City Council, which included building height, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and marijuana establishments.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. 9 City of Seward, Alaska Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 7, 2025 Volume 8, Page Jodi Kurtz Deputy City Clerk Carol Griswold Chair 10 Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement Meeting Date: February 4, 2025 To: Planning and Zoning Commission Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director From: Applicant Subject: Resolution 2025-004 of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, Granting a Variance from Seward City Code 15.10.220 Development Requirements to OBI Seafoods to install a condenser unit above their building, reaching a height no taller than 39'; Located at 601 Port Avenue; Marina Subdivision, Block 2 Replat, Lot 2A, Block 2; Within the Harbor Commercial (HC) Zoning District Background and justification: Ocean Beauty Icicle (OBI) Seafoods has submitted a variance application to the Planning and Zoning Commission requesting a relaxation of the 34' building height requirement to install a condenser unit above the existing building located at 601 Port Avenue (Kenai Peninsula Borough parcel ID number 14524015). The top of the condenser would reach a height of 39'9", which is five feet and nine inches above the height allowed by Seward City Code. OBI has been working with the Building Department and Community Development for many months to find a suitable location to install a replacement condenser unit to improve the refrigeration system for the seafood processing plant and reduce electric and water use. However, due to the location of the building on the property, all other preferred locations for the condenser are within easements or encroaching into a right-of-way. The condenser also cannot be placed on the south side of the building as it would be more susceptible to saltwater corrosion. The location of the condenser is also limited as it must be placed near the compressor room, which is located on the northeast side of the building. The weight of the condenser makes it impractical and unsafe to place it on top of the building directly adjacent to or above the compressor room. An engineered stand is required to adequately support the weight of the condenser. The placement of the condenser above the building is also important for its operation, as the ammonia that is condensed within the unit depends on gravity to drain to the compressor room within the building. So, regardless of where the condenser is placed on the property, it would need to be placed at a sufficient height to adequately drain to the compressor room. Due to the limitations stated above, the applicant is proposing to place the condenser on a stand installed in one of the building's loading dock spaces in a corner on the north side of the building. The stand would be restricted to approximately 8' in width to occupy only one loading dock space. The condenser unit, however, is 9' 10" wide, which is an additional reason for placing it 11 above the building to not conflict with the other adjacent loading dock spaces. If the condenser were placed just above the building height (19' 9"), the top of it would still reach 35'. However, the applicant would like a minimum of four feet between the top of the building and the bottom of the platform that the condenser sits on to provide space for snow buildup. The applicant is willing to discuss potentially lowering the platform a couple of feet if the Commission would be more favorable to a lower maximum height. Staff recommended that the applicant apply for a variance to receive additional input from the Commission to evaluate this situation as the condenser unit is technically not a building or structure, it is a mechanical piece of equipment. The stand on which it will be placed is a structure, 24'9" high, which is compliant with the building height. It is the placement of the mechanical piece of equipment, the condenser, which is 15' tall, on top of the stand, for a total height of 39' 9" that puts the top of the condenser above the allowed 34' building height. Building Code does not count "towers, spires, steeples and other `rooftop structures' in the building height. A rooftop structure is defined as "a structure erected on top of the roof deck or on top of any part of a building enclosing a stairway, tank, elevator machinery or ventilating apparatus, or such part of the shaft as extends above the roof." This definition does not specifically mention mechanical equipment; however, there is a definition in the building code for a mechanical equipment screen, which is defined as, "a rooftop structure, not covered by a roof, used to aesthetically conceal plumbing or mechanical equipment from view." This definition implies that mechanical equipment can be placed above the allowed building height since a structure used to conceal such equipment is considered a rooftop structure and also allowed to be constructed above the allowed building height. Seward City Code § 15.10.325 allows an individual to apply for a variance or a relaxation of the development requirements when the literal enforcement of regulations within Title 15 would deprive the property owner of the reasonable use of their property. The Commission determines whether the variance should be allowed or denied based on the findings they establish for the following review criteria: 1. The proposed action must be consistent with all of the general conditions required for a conditional use permit; a. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter (the Seward Zoning Code) and the purposes of the zoning district. b. The value of adjoining property will not be significantly impaired. c. The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. d. Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use. e. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. 2. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or structures involved and which are not applicable to other lands and structures in the same district; 3. The special conditions and circumstances have not been caused by actions of the applicant; 4. Financial hardship or inconvenience shall not be a reason for granting a variance; 12 5. Other nonconforming land use or structures within the district shall not be considered grounds for granting a variance; 6. A variance shall be the minimum variance necessary to permit the reasonable use of the land or structure; and 7. A variance shall not be granted which will permit a land use in a district in which that use is otherwise prohibited Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: Development Requirements: In the Harbor Commercial zoning district, the maximum building height is 34'. The setbacks are: front yard — none, side yard — 5', side yard adjacent to street — none, rear yard — 10'*. The accessory building height is 20'. *Table 15.10.222 NOTE 5. In the HC District, parcels abutting mean high tide —No rear yard setback; parcels abutting the waterfront boardwalk —Five feet; and parcels not abutting the waterfront boardwalk or mean high water mark —Ten feet. Surrounding Land Use: The properties to the north are zoned Industrial and used for warehousing and employee housing. The properties to the east and west are zoned Harbor Commercial and are used for parking, storage, or dock access. To the south of the property is the Seward Boat Harbor. Floodplain Status: The property is not located within a FEMA mapped flood zone. Utilities: The property is connected to city water, sewer, and electricity. Parking: There are no parking requirements for the installation of a condenser unit. There are also no requirements to have a certain number of loading dock spaces. Eliminating a loading dock space to use for the condenser unit will not put OBI Seafoods out of compliance. Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: Vol 1, Chapter 3.1.1.4 — "Support private sector business, employment, and programs." • Support and encourage the growth of business. Strategic Plan: Other: N/A Staff Comments Department Comments No Comment N/A Building Department X Fire Department X 13 Public Works Department X Harbor Department X Police Department X Electric Department X Parks and Recreation X Telecommunications X Property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed Variance were notified of this public hearing. Public notice signs were posted on the property and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040 were complied with. At the time of this publication, the Community Development Department has not received public inquiries. If any correspondence is received after publication of this agenda statement, it will be submitted to the Commissioners for their review. Recommendation Seward City Code 15.10.325 allows the Planning and Zoning Commission to grant variances "when the literal enforcement of this chapter (Title 15) would deprive a property owner of the reasonable use of his/her property." The variance request has met the application requirements, and the Commission has the authority to grant this variance if sufficient findings support the conditions listed in the review criteria (SCC 15.10.325(D)). 14 Sponsored by: Applicant Public Hearing: February 4, 2025 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 2025-004 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM SEWARD CITY CODE 15.10.220 DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS TO OBI SEAFOODS TO INSTALL A CONDENSER UNIT ABOVE THEIR BUILDING, REACHING A HEIGHT NO TALLER THAN 39'; LOCATED AT 601 PORT AVENUE; MARINA SUBDIVISION, BLOCK 2 REPLAT, LOT 2A, BLOCK 2; WITHIN THE HARBOR COMMERCIAL (HC) ZONING DISTRICT WHEREAS, Ocean Beauty Icicle (OBI) Seafoods has submitted a variance application to the Planning and Zoning Commission requesting a relaxation of the 34' building height requirement so that they can install a condenser unit above the existing building located at 601 Port Avenue; and WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough parcel ID number for this property is 14524015; and WHEREAS, the maximum height the condenser would reach would be 39'9"; and WHEREAS, the property is located in a Harbor Commercial (HC) zoning district; and WHEREAS, the building height limit in the HC zoning district is 34'; and WHEREAS, the property owner has spent various months working with the Building Department and Community Development to find a suitable location to install this condenser; and WHEREAS, due to the location of the building on the property, all other desirable locations for the condenser were encroaching into the property easements or adjacent right-of- ways; and WHEREAS, the condenser cannot be placed on the south side of the building as it would be more susceptible to saltwater corrosion; and WHEREAS, the condenser needs to placed in proximity to the compressor room, which is located in the northeast portion of the building; and WHEREAS, ammonia from the condenser relies on gravity to drain to the compressor room, requiring the condenser to be placed at a height above the compressor room; and WHEREAS, the weight of the condenser makes it impractical and unsafe to place it on top of the building directly adjacent to or above the compressor room; and 15 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 2025-004 Page 2 of 4 WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing to place the condenser on a stand that will be constructed in one of the building's loading dock spaces adjacent to the north side of the building; and WHEREAS, the stand would be restricted to approximately 8' in width to occupy only one loading dock space; and WHEREAS, the width of the condenser unit is 9' 10", requiring it to be placed above the roofline of the building to not conflict with the other adjacent loading dock spaces; and WHEREAS, the applicant would like a minimum of four feet between the bottom of the platform on which the condenser will be placed and the top of the building to accommodate for snow buildup; and and and WHEREAS, the condenser unit is 15' tall and the stand on which it will be placed is 24'9"; WHEREAS, the applicant has stated that there is potential to lower the stand height; WHEREAS, the condenser unit is not a building or part of the building, but rather a piece of mechanical equipment; and WHEREAS, the stand on which the condenser unit will be placed is a structure and is within the allowed building height; and WHEREAS, Building Code does not count "towers, spires, steeples and other `rooftop structures' towards the building height; and WHEREAS, A rooftop structure is defined as "a structure erected on top of the roof deck or on top of any part of a building enclosing a stairway, tank, elevator machinery or ventilating apparatus, or such part of the shaft as extends above the roof."; and WHEREAS, the definition of rooftop structure does not specifically address mechanical equipment; and WHEREAS, the definition of a mechanical equipment screen is "a rooftop structure, not covered by a roof, used to aesthetically conceal plumbing or mechanical equipment from view"; and WHEREAS, from these two definitions it can be implied that mechanical equipment are commonly placed above buildings and excluded from the total building height; and 16 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 2025-004 Page 3 of 4 WHEREAS, code is not specifically clear on this matter, staff recommended that the applicant apply for a variance to receive input from the Commission; and WHEREAS, Seward City Code §15.10.325(A) states that an individual may apply for a variance "when the literal enforcement of this chapter would deprive a property owner of the reasonable use of their property; and WHEREAS, the applicant has complied with all of the public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040.

The property is located within the Harbor Commercial (HC) zoning district. The notice was posted on Janu al 21 202_5 , which is 171 days prior to the public hearing on this petition.

Affirmed and signed this day of JC u4 \ 2025. e)/_e, Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement Meeting Date: February 4, 2025 To: Planning and Zoning Commission Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director From: Applicant Agenda Item: Resolution 2025-005, of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Chugachmiut to construct and operate a pharmacy drive-thru window at the new Chugachmiut Regional Health Center on Fort Raymond Subdivision Replat No 1, 2022 Addition, Lot 7A-2; Located at 704 Aspen Lane; Within an Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District Background and justification: Chugachmiut has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) from the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission to construct and operate a pharmacy drive-thru window at the new Chugachmiut Regional Health Center currently being constructed at 704 Aspen Lane. The property is located within the Auto Commercial (AC) zoning district. A health clinic is allowed outright in the AC zoning district. However, a drive-in facility, defined as "any portion of a building or structure which by design permits customers to receive services, obtain goods or be entertained while remaining in their motor vehicles," requires a CUP in the AC zoning district. Pharmacy drive-thru windows provide a contactless service option to individuals who may be sick and contagious as well as to individuals with weakened immune systems who are susceptible to infectious disease. A pharmacy drive-thru window improves accessibility for individuals with mobility concerns and challenges such as the elderly, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and parents with young children in the car to receive prescribed medication without needing to leave their vehicles. The proposed drive-thru window can be accessed either by entering the property from the Seward Highway or Aspen Lane. Only one-way traffic will be allowed on the north side of the building where the pharmacy drive-thru window will be operated. The applicant has complied with all the public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040. Regarding conditional uses, Seward City Code § 15.10.320 states, "It is recognized that there are some uses which may be compatible with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met. The conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow flexibility in the consideration of the impact of the proposed use on surrounding property, and the application of controls and safeguards to assure that the proposed use will be compatible with the surroundings. The commission shall permit this type of use if the conditions and requirements listed in this chapter (Title 15) are met." 32 Prior to granting a conditional use permit, the Commission shall establish that the use satisfies the following conditions as listed in SCC § 15.10.320(D): 1. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district; 2. The value of the adjoining property will not be significantly impaired; 3. The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan; 4. Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use; 5. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare; 6. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above - mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed use. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: Development Requirements: Seward City Code Title 15 does not have specific development requirements for a drive-thru window. The only requirements are the setback, building height, and lot coverage requirements for the entire building, which have been met. Surrounding Land Use: The property to the west is the American Legion Cemetery and Seward Parks and Recreation warehouse and is zoned Institutional. The property to the south is the Seward Chamber of Commerce and is zoned Auto Commercial. The property to the north is vacant but will be used for the future Public Works facility and is zoned Auto Commercial. The property to the east is across the Seward Highway and is owned by the Alaska Railroad and zoned Industrial. Floodplain status: According to the Kenai Peninsula Floodplain Map, the property is not located within a FEMA-mapped floodplain. Utilities: City water, sewer, and electricity are connected to the property. Parking: A drive-thru window does not require a specific number of parking spaces. Providing a drive-thru pharmacy window may alleviate parking congestion as individuals will not need to park and walk into the clinic to pick up a prescription. However, the clinic is required to have a certain number of parking spaces, which was reviewed and approved during the building permit process. Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Vol 1, Chapter 2.2.6 "We value effective, accessible, and affordable Plan: healthcare." Vol 1, Chapter 3.7.1.5 — "Support expansion and modernization of health care facilities." 33 Vol 1, Chapter 3.7.1.8 — "Support and develop opportunities for individual and community health improvement." Strategic Plan: N/A Department Comments No Comment N/A Building Department X Fire Department X Public Works Department X Harbor Department X Police Department X Electric Department X Property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the location of the proposed Conditional Use Permit action were notified of this public hearing. Public notice signs were posted on the property and all other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040 were complied with. At the time of this publication the Community Development Department has not received public inquiries regarding the proposed Conditional Use Permit. If any correspondence is received after publication of this agenda statement, it will be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commissioners for their review. Recommended Conditions 1. The applicant shall work with the building official through the building permit process to address any requirements per International Fire Code and International Building Code. 2. Signage shall be placed on the property indicating one-way traffic on the driveway going to and leaving the drive-thru window. 3. Per Seward City Code § 15.10.325(f). an approved CUP shall lapse six months from the date of approval if the use for which the permit was issued has not been implemented or a building permit obtained. The Commission may grant a six-month extension upon finding that circumstances have not changed sufficiently since the date of initial permit approval. 4.

I acknowledge this Notice must be posted in plain sight, maintained and displayed until all public hearings have been completed. --S-ctr\ Affirmed and signed this L day of , 2025 Signature 49 Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement Meeting Date: February 4, 2025 To: Planning and Zoning Commission Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director From: Applicant Agenda Item: Resolution 2025-006, of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Seward, Alaska, Granting a Conditional Use Permit to The Tufted Puffin LLC to operate a drive-thru window to sell retail cannabis products and non -cannabis food and beverage items on Lot 1, Block 2, North Harbor Subdivision; Located at 408 Port Avenue; Within an Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District Background and justification: The Tufted Puffin LLC has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) from the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission to operate a drive-thru window from their marijuana retail store located at 408 Port Avenue. The property is located within the Auto Commercial (AC) zoning district. A marijuana retail store is allowed outright in the AC zoning district. However, a drive-in facility, defined as "any portion of a building or structure which by design permits customers to receive services, obtain goods or be entertained while remaining in their motor vehicles," requires a CUP in the AC zoning district. The drive-thru window would be utilized to sell retail cannabis products as well as non -cannabis food and beverage items. A drive-thru window provides an option for individuals with mobility issues such as the elderly or those with disabilities to purchase these products without needing to exit their vehicles. The drive-thru window will be accessed by entering the property from Port Avenue. Only one-way traffic will be allowed on the side of the building where the drive-thru window will be operated. The applicant is aware they will be required to comply with specific regulations set forth by the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) for operating a drive-thru window to sell retail marijuana products. The applicant has complied with all the public hearing requirements of Seward City Code § 15.01.040. Regarding conditional uses, Seward City Code § 15.10.320 states, "It is recognized that there are some uses which may be compatible with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met. The conditional use permit procedure is intended to allow flexibility in the consideration of the impact of the proposed use on surrounding property, and the application of controls and safeguards to assure that the proposed use will be compatible with the surroundings. The commission shall permit this type of use if the conditions and requirements listed in this chapter (Title 15) are met." 50 Prior to granting a conditional use permit, the Commission shall establish that the use satisfies the following conditions as listed in SCC § 15.10.320(D): 1. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district; 2. The value of the adjoining property will not be significantly impaired; 3. The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan; 4. Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use; 5. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare; 6. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above - mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed use. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: Development Requirements: Seward City Code Title 15 does not have specific development requirements for a drive-thru window. The only requirements are the setback, building height, and lot coverage requirements for the entire building, to which it complies.

Dimensioned plot plan 1 drawings] Other: 61 REQUEST FOR CUP The Tufted Puffin randy@thetuftedpuffin.com 62 THE TUr QED PUFFIN On October 23, 2024, The Tufted Puffin team attended the Seward Planning and Zoning work session regarding current and proposed changes to Seward City code concerning marijuana use, retail sales, manufacturing, and cultivation. This was not the first work session on this topic, nor was it the first instance where our company faced scrutiny from both citizens and Planning & Zoning (P&Z) commissioners. We were deeply concerned by the prevalence of misinformation presented during both citizen comments and statements from some P&Z board members. Despite The Tufted Puffin's impeccable reputation within the City of Seward and the State of Alaska, our company was unfairly targeted by certain members of the public, the majority of which are not residents of the City of Seward, along with some P&Z commissioners. We chose not to engage during the public comment period or at any other time during the three-hour meeting, as it became evident that the session had devolved into what appeared to be a "Tufted Puffin Witch Hunt." We believed that any factual data we could have provided would not have been objectively considered or heard in that environment. Prior to the scheduled meeting, our company submitted multiple fact -based articles and financial data to the P&Z board. However, the board neither commented nor utilized any of the information we provided to correct the misinformation presented by both the public and at least one P&Z commissioner. This lack of acknowledgment further reinforced our concerns about the objectivity of the process and the board's willingness to consider all relevant information. Given the apparent bias demonstrated by the Seward P&Z board, The Tufted Puffin does not anticipate a fair review of our CUP application submitted on October 28, 2024. Therefore, we are formally notifying the Seward City Council, the Seward P&Z board, and the City of Seward Administration of our intent to appeal in the event that the P&Z board denies our CUP application. We believe this preemptive step is necessary to ensure our application receives the fair and unbiased consideration it deserves under local regulations and state law. We respectfully request that all parties involved consider the facts and merits of our application objectively, ensuring a fair and unbiased decision -making process. The Tufted Puffin has operated since February 2019 with an unblemished record, maintaining zero violations and consistently collaborating with the Seward Police Department and industry compliance regulators. Our track record speaks to our commitment to responsible business practices and community safety. Our dedication to positive community impact remains unwavering. We hope that, in time, we will demonstrate to the community, the P&Z commissioners, and the Seward City Council that The Tufted Puffin has been, is, and will always be a company that the City of Seward can be proud of. We are committed to fostering a relationship built on trust, transparency, and mutual respect with all stakeholders in our community. As we move forward, we invite open dialogue and collaboration to address any concerns and to showcase the positive contributions we continue to make to Seward's economic and social fabric.

This site has a history of drive -through service, previously housing a hamburger restaurant. After the property fell into disrepair, becoming an eyesore at the entrance to Seward, we purchased it in 2022 and began an extensive renovation process. Since acquisition, we have undertaken significant improvements: • Complete building remodel, including removal of dry rot • Installation of new plumbing and electrical systems • Successful completion of final building and fire inspections in spring 2023 • Extensive exterior property cleanup throughout 2023 and 2024 • Plans for professional landscaping in spring 2025 These efforts have not only brought the building up to code for the first time in years but also significantly enhanced the property's appearance, aligning with Seward's goals for community beautification and orderly development. By granting the CUP for our drive -through operation, the City of Seward would be supporting several key objectives outlined in the Comprehensive Plan: • Promoting infill development and utilizing vacant sites in established areas • Supporting private sector business growth and employment • Enhancing the attractiveness of the highway corridor • Contributing to year-round economic activity • Maintaining Seward's small-town character while facilitating growth The Tufted Puffin is committed to continuing our efforts to beautify the property and contribute positively to Seward's community appearance and economic vitality.

Unparalleled Convenience: We provide a quick and efficient option for busy individuals, such as parents, commuters, and workers, to obtain their coffee or cannabis products without the need to park and enter a store.

Economic Boost: By attracting more customers and increasing local spending, our unique drive -through concept stimulates the local economy. This influx of business has a ripple effect, potentially leading to increased foot traffic and sales for nearby shops and services, fostering a thriving local business ecosystem.
