Stratel!ic Plan (1999) The Strategic Plan recommends encouraging citizens as well as the city, to take an active role in beautifYing the community by planting trees, shrubs and wildflowers (pg.15). Both harbor merchants and the City have been working on landscaping projects to beautifY the harbor. D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed site. Finding: Specific conditions are necessary to ensure this condition has been met. Adequate water, sewer, and power are available to the property, as well as adequate police and solid waste disposal services. There are water, electric and telephone lines located on the property. The City's water and electric lines are authorized by contract agreements with the Alaska Railroad Corporation. The building may not be constructed over these utility lines. According to the Fire Chief, an additional fire hydrant will be required along Fourth Avenue, and the boardwalk will need to be at least 10 feet wide to accommodate ground ladders to access the third floor windows on the east (waterfront) side of the building. There is an identified public need for public restrooms in this area of the harbor. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. Finding: In order to meet this condition, specific conditions are necessary. The building construction must meet the requirements ofthe City's adopted building and fire codes. Five driveways for this property are excessive considering there is only 465.64 feet of frontage. This many driveways would negatively impact traffic safety by creating conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles traveling on 4th Avenue and traffic entering and exiting the property. The site plan does not identifY the location of fuel and/or propane tanks, and safe area for loading and unloading freight. F. 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 to the proposed use. 1. A recorded subdivision of the property must be completed prior to construction in order to accurately identifY the portion of Alaska Railroad Right-of-Way subject to this Conditional Use Permit. 2. One off-street parking space per guest unit shall be provided for the life of the hotel. The required parking must meet the requirements of Seward City Code 15.10.215 Parking. 3. The required parking area must be paved, and parking lot lighting installed within one year after completion of the construction. 4. No more than three driveway curb cuts shall be allowed for the property.
