Seward Planning and Zoning Commission
Resolution No. 20m-II
Page 3
StratCl!:ic Plan (1999)
Finding: The Strategic Plan encourages:
I. outdoor recreational opportunities and economic diversity (page 3)
2. attracting new industry (page 4)
3. establishing an attractive highway corridor from Mile 0-8 (page 9)
4. promoting residential and commercial development inside the City (page
9)
5. pursuing the community vision through rigorous implementation of the
Comprehensive and Land Use Plans (page1O) and
6. encourages citizens, as well as the City, to take an active role in
beautifYing the community (page 15).
D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Finding: Power can be extended to the property. The site has vehicular
access via private driveway. A dumpster location shall be designated on the site
plan. An emergency water supply is located at the airport and is sufficient to
provide fire protection for this use. The office will have bottled water for
drinking and a self-contained toilet. An individual well and septic system mayor
may not be allowed on this site. Issuance ofthe Conditional Use Permit allowing
temporary use of a self-contained toilet and any future individual well or septic
system does exempt the permittee from adherence to requirements of 14.20.010.
Use of public sewers is required at time of connection. Permittee is cautioned that
it is unlawful according to 14.20.015 to discharge sewage in any unsanitary
manner on public or private lands or any natural outlet within the City Limits of
Seward.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Finding: In order to meet this condition, the permittee must adhere to the
code of the City of Seward and the specific condition deemed necessary by the
Commission. The following issues have been identified; usage of the trailer for
an office is only to be temporary, natural vegetation needs to be maintained to
preserve visual amenities and limit overland surface flow and erosion, the semi-
truck with the business logo needs to be parked inconspicuously, handicap
parking needs to be identified with proper signage and a dumpster site needs to be
identified.
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
related to the proposed use.
