Planning and Zoning Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: August 5, 2025
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
Through: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
From: Applicant
Agenda Item: Resolution 2025-026, of the Planning and Zoning Commission of
the City of Seward, Alaska, recommending Kenai Peninsula
Borough approval of the preliminary plat of Tract 5B-2, Forest
Acres Subdivision, Seward Gateway Properties; creating Lots 1-4
and Tract 5B-3, Forest Acres Subdivision, Seward Gateway
Properties No. 2
Background and justification:
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Planning Commission is a preliminary plat submitted by AK Lands, Land Surveying LLC on
behalf of Robert Williams and Travis Maurer.
The proposed plat will subdivide Tract 5B-2, Forest Acres Subdivision, Seward Gateway
Properties; creating Lots 1-4 and Tract 5B-3, Forest Acres Subdivision, Seward Gateway
Properties No. 2.
Tract 5B-2 was created from the land swap of city -owned property and privately -owned property
that was approved by City Council on August 12, 2024, with Resolution 2024-041. The Planning
and Zoning Commission reviewed the approved the first preliminary plat on May 6, 2025 through
Resolution 2025-017. The current preliminary plat creating Lots 1-4 and Tract 5B-3 is phase one
of a two-phase development plan for the property.
Seward City Code § 16.01.015(A) states that "No preliminary or final plat for the subdivision or
resubdivision of land located within the city limits shall be approved by the city unless all of the
required improvements set forth in section 16.05.010 are provided for by the subdivider, owner,
proprietor or developer in the manner described in sections 16.05.015."
The proposed plat will create a new ROW to access the four new lots and Tract that are being
created with this preliminary plat. Utilities will also need to be brought to the innermost lots, thus
a subdivision agreement will be required with this preliminary plat.
All conditions required by Seward City Code §16.01.015(C), Conditions to plat approval, were
met. The property owners within 300 feet of the requested preliminary plat were notified of the
proposed subdivision, and the property was posted with public notice signage.
In accordance with City and Borough requirements, the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
must review and comment on a preliminary plat of land located within the City of Seward before
submittal to the Borough for approval.
