CORRESPONDENCE:
A. December 27, 1989 letter to KPB Planning
Director Dick Troeger regarding the zoning code require-
ments for the proposed Seward landfill/transfer facility
was noted.
Martin explained that the Kenai peninsula
Borough planned to install a baler at the Seward landfill
site and would be trucking the bales of solid waste to
a site in the Soldotna area. The Borough does not plan
to build an access road which would mean that the trucks
would travel through the Forest Acres residential area.
He noted that a conditional use permit would need to be
obtained by the borough and a public hearing would be
scheduled for the February 7, 1990, meeting once applica-
tion was received.

for operation of a restaurant in the harbor commercial
district at 306 North Harbor Street, (portion of Tract A,
North Harbor Subdivision) was noted.
The public hearing was opened. No one spoke
in order to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
Woodruff stated that the restaurant was in
operation and that it meets the Land Use Plan and the
Zoning Code. He noted that it was compatible with the
area.
Sutherland was concerned that the addition on
to the store was built without a building permit. Martin
explained that it predated the fact that the building
department and planning department had not gotten
together on it. In response to Sutherland's concern
about signs being erected without permits, Martin stated
that most signs were put up after the fact. Sutherland
stated that when the building department is on site, it
should be able to control the fact that a sign permit is
needed before signs are put up.
BRANSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUESTED CONDI-
TIONAL USE PERMIT SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. THE CONTAINER STORAGE UNIT MUST BE REMOVED
FROM THE PROPERTY.
2. THE UNUSED PROPANE TANK MUST EITHER BE
REMOVED FROM THE SITE OR RELOCATED AND PLACED BACK INTO
OPERATION.
3.
4.
A BLIND MUST BE BUILT AROUND THE DUMPSTER.
ALL CONDITIONS MUST BE MET BY MAY 31, 1990.

REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 7. 1990
VOLUME 02
The public hearing was opened.
PAUL CARR, 6401 A street, Anchorage, spoke on
items of concern with the encroachment. He stated that
the proposed location of the freezer van would be under
the power line, but he had researched placement under
utility lines and stated that there were no code infrac-
tions locally or by national standards. He did not feel
that the location would be detrimental to the existing
sewer line. The van would not be placed where it would
block the alley in any way. He stated that the open
space and rear yard within the area would be reduced by
less than 10%. There would be no compressors outside or
on top of the roof. He noted that there were no plans
by the city to improve the alleyway. In answer to a
complaint by Enco in their letter, he stated that the
noise level would not change.
DICK HODGE, 3515 Wentworth, Anchorage, stated
that he realized a mistake had been made in the building
and design layout but they had not anticipated the
population growth of Seward and the outflow of shoppers
to Anchorage. He noted that the building had been
designed for expansion to the south to fit in with a long
term plan of building a shopping mall. The problem with
locating the van on the south is that the heavy equipment
which runs the store is located at the north end. He
stated that they were requesting location of the van on
the north end of the building as a short term solution
at this point.
In answer to a question from Sutherland, Hodge
stated that the van would be put on a foundation and
painted to look like a part of the store. It would be
a permanent addition, however, if it were granted
temporarily, they would have time to re-plan for a
permanent solution.
No one else spoke in order to be heard and the
public hearing was closed.
FREDRICKSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE AS
REQUESTED BY CARR-GOTTSTEIN FOR A REAR YARD SETBACK FOR
LOT 6A, BLOCK 3, JESSE LEE HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION: THE
MOTION WAS SECONDED BY THORNE AND FAILED WITH FIVE "NO"
VOTES.
LINDSEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE
ENCROACHMENT INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE CITY COUNCIL:
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY PARRISH AND FAILED WITH FIVE
"NO" VOTES.

No one else spoke in order to be heard and the
public hearing was closed.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WITH THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL
CONDITIONS:
1. THE UNITS ARE NOT TO BE SKIRTED OR IN ANY
WAY MADE IMMOBILE OR PERMANENT.
2. THE UNITS ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AUTHO-
RIZED ON THE APPLICATION SITE UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE
THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS ISSUED AND MUST BE REMOVED
NOT LATER THAN OCTOBER 31, 1990, AT WHICH TIME THE PERMIT
WILL EXPIRE.
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY PARRISH. THE
QUESTION WAS CALLED AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
B. Notice of public hearing as posted and
published as required by law regarding a request for a
VARIANCE by Carr Gottstein, Inc. for a ten foot en-
croachment by the Eagle Quality Center into the side yard
setback of Lot 6A, Block 3, Jesse Lee Heights Sub-
division, was noted by Sutherland.
MARTIN stated that this request was for a
variance on the north end of the building at the north-
west corner of the property.
The public hearing was opened.
DICK HODGE, 3515 Wentworth, Anchorage, ad-
dressed the Commission on his request. He stated that
the variance would be to the north side of the building
which was adjacent to the car lot. The property owners
to the north voiced no objection to the variance which
would make the property a zero lot line.
He stated that Carr Gottstein, Inc. would like
to purchase the lot to the south of the store to expand.
The store was built so that the south wall could be
knocked out easily for expansion.
During the site plan, no plans were made to
operate a pharmacy but because of numerous requests for
such a service, Eagle decided to install one. The
existing pharmacy had discontinued service for medicaid

REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 11, 1990
VOLUME 2
MARTIN explained that when the Commission
originally denied this permit, it was appealed to the
City Council. A Board of Adjustment Hearing was held
and the Council later met in executive session and
subsequently voted on the matter at the next regular
meeting. The Borough and State Code did not provide for
the privilege of meeting in executive session for
discussion. The Seward Property Owner's Association took
the city to Superior Court on the matter which contains
two parts: 1) incorrect procedure, and 2) construction
of the apartments would impair the property values of
surrounding property. The judge separated the issues and
item one is under consideration. The court voided the
decision of the city council due to improper procedure
and remanded the matter back to the council to remake a
decision based on the record of appeal.
Since that time, the city has assumed its
zoning and planning powers and the code now provides that
the council can meet in executive session sitting as a
board of adjustment.
At its last meeting the council made the
decision to uphold the appeal and remanded the matter
back to the commission with the instructions to issue a
conditional use permit.
KOWALSKI asked if any changes had been made in
the conditions of the permit. Martin stated that the
condition for switching the one bedroom units with the
three bedroom units to allow for certain parking spaces
had been eliminated.
In answer to a question from Sutherland, Martin
stated that all conditions had been met, the building was
finished, fully occupied and now had a waiting list.
Parrish stated that he would abstain due to
the fact that he owned property in the vicinity.
Sutherland ruled that Parrish would abstain.

REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 11, 1990
VOLUME 2
YANEZ commented that the community needed to
focus on the goals for Seward. Whether to grow and
expand or to scale down and remain a small town.
MARTIN stated that Hyett-Palma would be in
Seward and meetings were scheduled for April 24 and 25
at 7:00 p.m. to receive input and discuss the upcoming
comprehensive plan. The 24th would be a work session
with the Planning Commission and the 25th was scheduled
as a public meeting.
C. ProDosed Amendments to the Sian Ordinance.
A request by NAPA Auto Parts to place a sign
on their new building prompted the reference to amend-
ments to the sign ordinance. Martin stated that NAPA
would like to place a sign on the south side of their
building. The code states that a sign should be on the
side facing the street which in this case would be west
and north. Martin asked the commission to review this
request as a VARIANCE for sign placement so NAPA could
install a sign on the south side of the building facing
the small boat harbor.
DAVE HETTICK, Dairy Hill, stated that the
parking lot would be south of the building and entered
by the Seward Highway. In answer to a question from
Thorne about approval, Hettick stated that the entrance
had been approved.
MARTIN stated that there was no other place to
put the entrance.
PARRISH MOVED TO APPROVE THE PLACEMENT OF A
SIGN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NAPA AUTO PARTS STORE; THE
MOTION WAS SECONDED BY KOWALSKI AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
D. Bed and Breakfast Reaulations and Permits.
MARTIN stated that when the bed and breakfast
regulations were included in the code, only one bedroom
was allowed. The commercial establishments where people
also reside were not considered. He noted that there was
a significant need in the community for bed and breakfast
facilities and a number of operations had been es-
tablished. Due to the increased demand, he was asking
advice on where and if the regulations should be changed.
SUTHERLAND stated that the definition was
inconsistent and a rooming house, hotel or lodge was
allowed in certain areas but not a bed and breakfast.
Various concerns were discussed including whether to

district. The proposed changes would allow up to fifty
percent of the bedrooms in the home to be utilized. The
bed and breakfast business would be designated as a home
occupation in residential zones and a business in the
office residential, auto commercial and commercial
business district zones. He noted that the resource
management zone would require a conditional use permit
since those areas are generally hazardous (they might be
located in a flood zone, avalanche zone or have steep
slopes).
LINDSEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF PROPOSED
ORDINANCE 633 TO THE CITY COUNCIL; THE MOTION WAS
SECONDED BY PARRISH.
LINDSEY asked if a bed and breakfast was
allowed in the business zone without any administrative
approval.
MARTIN replied that all bed and breakfast
establishments require an administrative permit and
inspection by the fire department.
KOWALSKI asked if more than fifty percent of
the bedrooms could be used if a special permit were
obtained.
MARTIN stated that if more than fifty percent
of the bedrooms were used, the establishment would be
considered a lodging or rooming house which is not
restricted by bed and breakfast regulations. The use
would not fall under the home occupation category in that
case.
BUZZ SAWYER, 2411 Cedar Street, asked if all
existing bed and breakfast establishments in the city
would be regulated. He also asked if the bed and
breakfast establishments were currently operating under
a city permit. He noted that the Korner House in Forest
Acres uses a number of bedrooms in its operation and he
objected to the fact that a sign was allowed on the
building but no other establishments were allowed to put
up a sign.
MARTIN replied that it was possible that some
bed and breakfast establishments were operating without
a permit because they were not aware that one was needed.
He stated that a number of new businesses have opened
this past year and they would be notified that a permit
was required. He stated that there was no code in effect
for a bed and breakfast when the Korner House opened but
he would check into the alleged violations on the sign

from meetings because he was frequently out of town on
business. He stated that while Commissioner Woodruff had
been absent, he had served over eight years on the
Planning Commission as a commissioner and chairman and
was a valuable asset to the community. He stated that he
would rather see Woodruff resign than for the Commission
to remove him from his position. The other commissioners
concurred.
MARTIN stated that according to the code, the
Commission should take action on this matter. It is in
the best interest of the community to have a full
commission in attendance at meetings.
LINDSEY MOVED TO POSTPONE ACTION UNTIL THE JUNE
MEETING; THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY THORNE AND CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
X.
CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
Martin stated that the goal of Hyett-Palma was
to have a completed draft of the proposed comprehensive
plan update ready by May 15. He informed the commission
that copies would be distributed at the June meeting. He
noted that a public meeting was being held on May 8 in
the Council Chambers by CRW Engineering on the design and
engineering of the streets and sidewalks.
XI.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
SUTHERLAND mentioned the need for commissioner
training and asked the administration to look into the
possibility.
MARTIN replied that the Department of Community
and Regional Affairs distributes a booklet on duties of
the commissioner which is given to each commissioner who
assumes a seat on the Planning Commission.
MARTIN stated that he would see what he could
do. He noted that certain items such as corps permits,
vacations and plats are brought before most commissions
for review but the local planning commission does not
review these items. He noted that Seward is a well
established community and there are not many new sub-
divisions but the commission should play a more active
role in planning and zoning than it has in the past. He
asked for direction and input from the commissioners
stating that he would like to know what is expected from
the city administration. He stated that he would like
to review the land use tables in the near future to
review the requirements for conditional use permits.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Notice of public hearing as posted and
published as required by law regarding a request for a
VARIANCE by Carr Gottstein, Inc., for a ten foot en-
croachment by the Eagle Quality Center into the side yard
setback of Lot 6A, Block 3, Jesse Lee Heights Sub-
division, was noted, and the public hearing was opened.
PAUL CARR, 6401 A Street, Anchorage, represent-
ing Carr-Gottstein, apologized to the Commission for
failing to include some information at the first hearing
that may have influenced the Commission's decision at
that time. He asked to put the referenced information
into the record at this time. Carr distributed a copy of
a portion of the Plat and noted the 40-foot roadway
easement along the front of the property. At the time
Carr-Gottstein was planning construction of its store,
the developer was unable to ascertain the holder of the
easement. Therefore, the store was placed towards the
rear of the property to avoid losing the store's front
row of parking should the easement be used. Carr also
distributed copies of the Carr-Gottstein site plan

REGULAR MEETING - JUNE 6, 1990
VOLUME 2
1990 analysis. Martin apologized for not including his
1988 memorandum with the original packet. He stated that
this had been omitted due to his oversight. He also
noted that due to his involvement in the rewrite of the
code when the city took its zoning powers from the
borough, he was now much more familiar with the zoning
code than he had been in 1988. He stated that, because
of this, he was now interpreting the code more strictly.
FREDRICKSON asked if he had been aware of the 40-foot
easement when he developed either staff analysis. Martin
stated that he had known all along that the easement was
there. FREDRICKSON stated that, in his opinion, the
easement constituted a special condition not caused by
the applicant.
KOWALSKI stated that she had spoken to the
Dieckgraeffs about this proposal. They each stated that
they had objected to the Variance at the beginning, but
would not object formally. She also noted that the
Department of Environmental Conservation had indicated
that salad bar regulations had not changed since 1984,
although Carr had claimed that new food service regula-
tions prompted the need for additional space in the
grocery store.
No one else appeared in order to be heard, and
the public hearing was closed.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO GRANT A VARIANCE TO CARR-
GOTTSTEIN, INC., FOR LOCATION OF A 9 FT. X 40FT. WALK-IN
FREEZER AND A 9 FT. X 20 FT. WALK-IN STORAGE UNIT WITHIN
THE NORTH SIDE YARD SETBACK OF LOT 6A, BLOCK 3, JESSE LEE
HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION; THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY LINDSEY.
KOWALSKI asked why the Code provided for
setbacks. MARTIN stated that setbacks were required to
reduce density, to provide light and access, and for
aesthetic reasons.
FREDRICKSON stated that he had wanted to grant
the variance when it originally came before the Commis-
sion, but it had appeared at that time that all of the
code conditions had not been met. However, the presence
of the 40-foot easement changed things and constituted a
special condition not caused by the owners. FREDRICKSON
stated he would vote in favor of the Variance.
SUTHERLAND stated that in the three years
Carr-Gottstein had been in Seward, the store had been
beneficial to the community in all respects. He stated
that, from what he had observed and from comments he had
heard, C-G was aware of a space problem six months after

REGULAR MEETING - JUNE 6, 1990
VOLUME 2
Bardarson's signs would be attractive, but the Code was
very specific concerning the amount of signage allowed.
In response to a question from LINDSEY, Martin
stated that Homer's ordinance had been used as a guide-
line for formulating the Seward Code. At that time
neither Kenai nor Soldotna had sign codes.
KOWALSKI stated that she wanted to thank
Bardarson for everything she had done for the community,
but she felt she must vote "No" on this motion since the
requested sign variance was so large.
MARTIN stated that he felt the code was
probably too restrictive for businesses on smaller lots
such as the one Bardarson occupied in the Boat Harbor.
SUTHERLAND stated that in light of the kind of
work Bardarson had done in the past and the fact that the
request was more a decoration than a sign, he would vote
in favor of it.
FREDRICKSON stated that it appeared as though
the ordinance only addressed sign size and location, but
did not address how "gaudy" the sign might be.
KOWALSKI stated that there was no question in
her mind that what was proposed was a "sign". However,
the addition of Bardarson's fish logo on the side of the
building would not be classified a "sign".
THE QUESITON WAS CALLED AND THE MOTION FAILED
WITH LINDSEY & SUTHERLAND VOTING "YES" AND ALL OTHERS
VOTING "NO".
RECESS:
The meeting was recessed at 10: 00 p.m. and
reconvened at 10:10 p.m.
SIGN VARIANCE/CAMERON DBA
B. Request for SIGN VARIANCE as filed by Neil PHOTO INTERNATIONAL/
Cameron. dba Photo International. at 227 Fourth Avenue. 227 Fourth Avenue
LINDSEY MOVED TO GRANT A SIGN VARIANCE TO NEIL
CAMERON TO PLACE A SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING
AT 227 FOURTH AVENUE, PROVIDED THAT:
1. THE SIGN DOES NOT EXCEED 32 SQUARE FEET;

NOT EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE TOTAL SIGNAGE AREA;

the people, and a similar vote would be needed to rezone
the property. He recommended changing the uses allowed
table to allow the development of a Ferry Terminal and
dock facilities through a conditional use permit.
SUTHERLAND stated that he had heard that the
AMHS planned to move the Tustumena from Seward and
homeport in Horner. Martin stated that he had been told
by AMHS representatives that this was not true.
SCHAEFERMEYER stated that, even if the Ferry was re-
located in five years, the city would still have use (and
probably ownership) of the dock.
In response to a question from KOWALSKI, Martin
stated that some parking would have to be provided in the
park area.
FREDRICKSON MOVED TO FIND THE CONCEPT AND
LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED FERRY/CRUISE SHIP DOCK SUITABLE
FOR FURTHER SERIOUS CONSIDERATION; THE MOTION WAS
SECONDED BY KOWALSKI. THE QUESTION WAS CALLED AND THE
MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE COMMISSION.
FREDRICKSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL
AMEND THE LAND USES ALLOWED SECTION OF THE ZONING CODE TO
ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED DOCKS AND HARBOR EXPANSION BY
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT; THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY
KOWALSKI AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

businesses located on Old Airport Road.

ROAD"; THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY PARRISH AND CARRIED BY

that the minutes be amended to reflect her statement
regarding the Eagle request for Variance. She stated the
minutes failed to reflect her comments that DEC had
reported that salad bar regulations had not been changed
since 1983, discounting Carr's statement that new space
requirements were among the reasons for the needed
expansion.

KOWALSKI asked Riordan to explain how she
disposed of grey water. Riordan stated that there was a
60-gallon holding tank on site which could be pumped into
the dump station across the street. In response to a
question from Bardarson, she stated that she produces
only about 10 gallons of grey water per day.
KOWALSKI asked about other mobile food wagons
in town, and noted that the one next to the laundromat
dumped its grey water onto the ground.
Bardarson asked if she had a dumping permit
from the city. He stated that commercial operators were
required to have such permits.
KOWALSKI asked about her sandwich board sign.
Riordan stated that she had moved her sign and placed it
on the leased property. Martin stated that this was no
longer an off premises sign, but portable signs were not
allowed by the city. Riordan stated that she intended to
put a sign on top of the structure at a later date.

2. IN AN EFFORT TO HELP CLEAN UP THE COMMUNI-
TY, THE OPERATOR WILL REMOVE UNU~ED MATERIALS NOT BEING
USED WITHIN THE PERMITTED. RESTAU~T FROM AROUND THE
BUILDING AND WILL HAVE THE PROPANE TANK PAINTED; AND
3. THE OPERATOR SHALL BRING ALL BUSINESS
SIGNING ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INTO CONFORMANCE WITH THE
SIGN ORDINANCE;
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY LINDSEY.
SUTHERLAND asked if all of the spools would be
used. Carpenter stated that he planned to use 9 of the
11 spools, and the rest would be hauled away.
THE QUESTION WAS CALLED, AND THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
C. Notice of public hearing as posted and PUBLIC HEARING/COMP
published as required by law regarding the proposed new PLAN UPDATE
Comprehensive Use Plan was noted, and the public hearing
was opened. No one appeared in order to be heard, and
the public hearing was closed.
Martin stated that the document distributed was
the result of all the input received by the contractors
since last November. He stated that the draft had been
sent out to the Council, all boards and commissions,
department heads, Chamber of Commerce, Seward Enhancement
Association, area schools, borough offices, KPB Assembly
Representative Sewall, the Library, Institute of Marine
Science and Seward Association for the Advancement of
Marine Science. To date, only two individuals had
commented.
Martin noted that the city was responsible for
providing the maps for the Comprehensive Plan. After
rev~ew~ng the old maps, he (Martin) concluded that there
were very few changes which needed to be made; therefore,
he recommended deletion of the maps from the Plan. In
response to a question from Kowalski, Martin explained
that, if the old maps were included in the new plan,
adoption of the plan would adopt the old maps, thereby
negating changes which had been made since adoption of
the last Comprehensive Plan.
Kowalski asked how the Commission was to use
the Comprehensive Plan in making its decisions. Martin
stated that the Plan was a guide which should be looked
to when zoning code changes were made. He stated that
the Plan was developed with input from a large group of

owners, Kenai Fjords Tours, Inc.., and was an off-premises
sign which was not allowed under the sign code. Martin
stated that the facility had approximately 200 total
street frontage. He recommended that the signs be
considered wall signs, not free-standing signs, since
they were attached to the building. The north sign fell
within the 100 sq. ft. allowed on that frontage. The off
premises sign must be removed. The. variance request was
to relocate the allowed front signage to the south side
of the building. Martin recommended approval of the
variance request.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO GRANT THE VARIANCE TO ALLOW
MR. CARPENTER, DBA SEWARD BBQ AND SALMON BAKE, TO PLACE
A 4X16 NON-ILLUMINATED WOOD SIGN WITHIN A ROOF AND GROUND
SUPPORTED FRAME ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING SUBJECT
TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. THE UNAUTHORIZED AND UNPERMITTED OFF
PREMISES SIGN WILL BE REMOVED; AND
2. THE PORTABLE SIGN STORED BESIDE THE
BUILDING WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PREMISES.
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY LINDSEY.
Kowalski stated that She had a problem with the
signage in the Small Boat Harbor. She noted that there
had been four variance requests within the SBH since the
last meeting. Kowalski asked Carpenter if he opposed
actually attaching the signs to the building. He stated
that he wasn't opposed to this, but thought they would be
less becoming.
Sutherland stated that he understood the
situation. He stated that he personally did not have a
problem allowing the south side variance as long as the
off premises sign was removed from the north side.
THE QUESTION WAS CALLED AND THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Carpenter asked for clarification on moving the
Kenai Fjords sign. Martin stated that this would be the
responsibility of the owners of the building.
C. Sian Variance Request - Mindenberg.
Martin reviewed his memorandum. He stated that
this would not be considered an off premises sign since
the motel had Third Avenue frontage. Martin stated that
the sign was free-standing, internally illuminated, and

Kowalski stated that she would not object to a
sign on the waterfront side. Bardarson suggested an
architectural review board to judge whether a sign should
be allowed, giving local business owners and residents
some latitude in approving whether a. sign fit that
particular area. Lindsey concurred with Bardarson. He
stated that the sign was needed, but he did not like that
particular sign. Martin sta~ed that an option for the
south side approval would be to grant it contingent upon
Commission approval after it has been designed.
BARDARSON MOVED TO POSTPONE ACTION UNTIL THE
NEXT MEETING; THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY KOWALSKI AND
CARRIED WITH FIVE YES VOTES AND THORNE VOTING NO.
X.
CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
Martin reported that Council had asked the
Commission to review the need for setbacks in the Auto
Commercial Zone. Reasons noted for the review were the
limited amount of commercial property available in Seward
and the wish to allow owners to more fully utilize their
commercial property. He stated that this item would be
scheduled for discussion at the next meeting.
Martin stated that he had been unable to find
any general training for the Planning Commission. He
noted that he had, however, ordered videos which he would
copy for the Planning Commission to take home and view.
Martin then apologized for not having all of
the Agenda Items available for the packet. He also
welcomed Bardarson to the Commission.
Schaefermeyer stated that the Governor had
approved the state operating and capital budgets with
substantial vetoes. He noted that the city's $9.5
Million transmission line grant had survived the veto;
however a number of smaller items approved for Seward by
the Legislature had been cut from the budget, including
funding for design of the doctor's clinic and a reappro-
priation of funds for Puffin Public Radio.
XI.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
THORNE commented on the amount of traffic on
Dimond Blvd. He asked if there was some way to control
the dust and the falling rocks (from the trucks hauling
gravel) . Martin stated that. in order to remove the
gravel, Afognak needed a mining permit. In addition, a
conditional use permit should have been issued. Schaef-
ermeyer stated that some requirements for dust control

REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 5, 1990 VOLUME 2
At the request of the Conunission,. Simutis
clarified her request that she was asking for a variance
for the harbor side of the building to be considered as
a street front. She noted that aesthetics was not the
issue.
BARDARSON MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO APPROVE
THE VARIANCE AS REQUESTED AND TO CONSIDER THE WATERFRONT
SIDE OF THE BUILDING THE SAME AS A STREET SIDE FOR
PURPOSES OF SIGNING~ THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY KOWALSKI
AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Kowalski stated that she did not see any
problem with treating the waterfront the same as a street
frontage. She asked what was considered waterfront.
Martin stated that if the .property abuts the
water, it would be considered waterfront.
Carpenter asked if the request for a variance
on the south side was still applicable.
Simutis stated that the sign on the south side
of the building had been taken down and there was no need
to pursue a request any longer. She stated that she
would be addressing the Conunission later with a request
to place a small neon tubing sign on the front. She
noted that the roof sign would be removed.
THE QUESTION WAS CALLED ON THE MAIN MOTION AND
IT CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE COMMISSION.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO ALLOW 28 SQUARE FEET OF
ALLOWABLE SIGN AREA FROM THE FRONT OF THE BUSINESS TO BE
PLACED ON THE WATERFRONT SIDE OF THE BUSINESS~ THE MOTION
WAS SECONDED BY THORNE.
Sutherland explained that 28 square feet of
area was being moved from the street side to the water-
front side of the business for a total of 128 square feet
to be utilized on the waterfront side. Martin explained
that the footage would in fact be doubled but a variance
was needed to borrow footage from one side to the other.
THE QUESTION WAS CALLED AND THE MOTION CARRIED
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE COMMISSION.
B. Sian Code Review.
Martin suggested that the sign code be dis-
cussed at a later date.

would not be profitable enough" to make it a big scale
profit. She stated that the ordinance was introduced
specifically to address Berger's request and because bed
and breakfast operations are needed, especially during
the tourist season.
Sutherland stated that bed and breakfast
operations were a good way to promote Seward to visitors.
He felt it was a positive move.
Thorne asked if anything would be grandfathered
as far as existing facilities.
Schaefermeyer replied that there were no
grandfather rights unless specifically given by the
Council. Technically nobody has "grandfather rights" in
Seward.
Kowalski stated that the original ordinance
limited an owner to one bedroom but with the passage of
the latest ordinance on bed and breakfast operations,
more than one bedroom can now be used. She said that if
a renter can have one bedroom now, he will ask later to
be allowed to operate more bedrooms. This was one reason
why she was opposed to the ordinance.
The Commission agreed to a wording change in
Section 15.10.225(B)(1) of the proposed ordinance. The
word "/occupant" was inserted to follow "tenant" on line
four.
In answer to a question from Lindsey, Martin
stated that only a single family dwelling is defined for
operation of a bed and breakfast. He made a suggestion
to change the definition of bed and breakfast in Section
15.10.140 (B) so that it would conform with the wording of
proposed Ordinance 635. No action was taken on his
suggestion.
Discussion ensued about various reasons for a
tenant operation of a bed and breakfast, whether it be a
hobby or a business. The following reasons were given
against the ordinance; there was concern that a person
renting in a neighborhood would not have the same
consideration for the upkeep as an owner might have and
it was mentioned that a bed and breakfast is a home
occupation which is secondary to the primary purpose of
the residence.
Martin stated that a bed and breakfast is a
home occupation, not a business, and it is not the
primary purpose but a secondary purpose of using a home.

minimize density and allow open .areas around buildings
for fire protection.
D. Bardarson Sign Variance Reauest.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO GRANT A SIGN VARIANCE TO DOT
BARDARSON, DBA BARDARSON STUDIO, TO PLACE ON THE NORTH
AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE BUILDING AT 1317 FOURTH AVENUE
SIGNS MEASURING 30 INCHES BY 32 FEET; THE MOTION WAS
SECONDED BY LINDSEY.
Fredrickson stated that the sign code definite-
ly needed to be reviewed and revised. The intent of the
code should be to keep a building aesth~tically pleasing
and to assure that a sign is within reasonable size among
other things. He questioned why the city was allowing
violations.
Sutherland ruled that Commissioner Bardarson
had no substantial financial interest on the issue so
there was no reason for him to abstain.
Kowalski stated that the letter from Ruth
McHenry included in the packet made some good suggestions
on wall signs which she stated could be any size.
Kowalski had reservations on this idea since a large
building could use huge signs. She noted that just
because a sign may be tasteful, that is not a reason to
allow the sign. She stated that the businesses in the
harbor are privileged because no land is left to develop.
Bardarson referred to the May 31 memo by the
administration. He noted that the Bardarson sign meets
all the requirements stated in the memo.
Assistant Manager Yanez stated that he was at
a loss to comment on the additional materials in the
packet presented by Bardarson since he only received it
just before the meeting.
Martin explained that he had received a phone
call from Dot Bardarson. She informed him that she would
like to reapply to the Commission for a sign variance.
He asked her if this application would be a new one or
the resubmittal of the original one. She stated that she
wanted to bring up the same issue. He noted that the
code states that a person can reapply. Martin meant to
resubmit the same information to the clerk earlier, but
she received it today before the meeting. He noted that
Bardarson should have reapplied if she had new informa-
tion. Martin stated that he had erred in procedure.

REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 5, 1990 VOLUME 2
Bardarson asked if there were any plans for
construction of a right shoulder l~ne for the school
buses to enter onto Cottonwood Avenue.
Schaefermeyer replied that the state bas no
plans for modifications at this' time. Since it is a
state road, the city has requested the relocation of the
existing speed signs further out the'road.
In answer to a question from Fredrickson,
Schaefermeyer stated that Diamond Boulevard would be
ditched and barriers would be installed. The road will
be accessible through Cottonwood Avenue.
XI.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:.
None.
XII.
CITIZENS' DISCUSSION:
Cindy Carpenter, 325 Fifth Avenue, agreed that
the state should address the point of putting a safety
lane in the area. The state seemed to recognize the need
for something only after children and animals were killed
on the highway.
XIII.
COMMISSION & ADMIN. RESPONSE TO CITIZENS'
COMMENTS:

code.
owner's
Kowalski welcomed Carpenter to the group. She
that she would like to see citations issued to the
of businesses if they cannot comply with the sign
If not, the signs should be taken down at the
cost.
Schaefermeyer took exception to the statement.
He noted that an individual has a right to due process.
A person can be fined for noncompliance but the city has
no authority to remove any sign. The judge cannot compel
the individual to remove the obstruction but only impose
fines. The sign code has accomplished the fact the
Seward does not contain loud, garish signs. The compre-
hensive plan is also followed. However, the city is not
equipped with the manpower to cite each individual.

transient housing, restaurant/snack bar, retail business,
service and repair, and for a mobile/temporary building
for a construction office and security within USS 4827,
Seward Marine Industrial Center, was noted and the public
hearing was opened.
ROBERT VALDATTA, 528 5th Avenue, spoke in favor
of the proposed complex. He stated that the industrial
site is 10 years old and for the past eight years, there
has been a need for conveniences such as a coffee shop,
gas and transient housing. He noted that the sawmill is
operating three shifts now.
BOB FERGUSON, 4160 Wilma Avenue, stated that
this complex was first proposed in the summer of 1989.
The bottom line was to start with dormitories and expand
from there. with changes at the Seward Marine Industrial
Center, the restaurant is now the first priority because
it has been requested by businesses in the area. He
noted that he will come up with elevations and plans at
a later date after lease negotiations are completed.
BARDARSON asked what kind of structure would be
built. Ferguson replied that the building would be a two
story structure with a daylight basement and would be
handicap accessible with a restaurant on top and storage
underneath.
In answer to a question from

needs to have certain uses approved by the Planning
commission before moving forward with lease negotiations.

the commission with further plans.
SUTHERLAND updated the new members of the
commission on the history of Ferguson I s prior conditional

and effort, then the Planning Commission should grant the
request for a conditional use permit.
CARPENTER asked Ferguson why he wanted to
stretch the construction phase to five years.
FERGUSON replied that initially it was to
follow the changes that keep occurring at the Seward
Marine Industrial Center. He noted that he would like
for the complex to grow with the growth of the area.
MARTIN reviewed the growth of the Marine
Industrial Center with the Commission. He discussed the
various businesses existing there and ongoing negotia-
tions with other firms. Nelbro Packing and Inlet Salmon
are working on possibly sharing waterfront property north
of the Inlet Salmon dock. The existing lease of Inlet
salmon which is next to the proposed property Ferguson
would like to lease may be exchanged for a small piece of
waterfront property.
THE QUESTION WAS CALLED ON APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT AND THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
VIII.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
None.
IX.
NEW BUSINESS:
A. Code Interpretation.
MARTIN stated that he had j ust received a
letter from the owners of the 4th Avenue Laundry. Since
there are two owners of the business, they are looking at
the possibility of building a second story over their
business consisting of two apartments. An owner/manager
apartment is allowed as an outright use in the commercial
district, however, the concept of two separate apartments
for two separate owners is not addressed. The intent of
the code was to allow an owner of a business to live near
their business. He stated that he would like an inter-
pretation of whether the code would allow more than one
owner/manager apartment when more than one owner runs the
business.
BARDARSON asked if the owners live there now.
Martin replied that they are currently renting a separate
place. They would like to add apartments above the
business so they can improve the place and pay a mortgage
rather than rent.

along the waterfront to connect with the existing
boardwalk at the small boat harbor. Afognak Logging has
donated gravel and labor for the bike trail.
XI. COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
BARDARSON commented on the responses in the
quality of life survey. He noted that the general
consensus was that prices are too high and it costs more
to do business in Seward. He noted that he would like to
see the city wean itself away from the sales tax.
XII. CITIZENS' DISCUSSION:
BOB VALDATTA - 528 Fifth Avenue, stated that
building heights need to be addressed. The city needs to
have adequate fire fighting equipment if buildings are
allowed to be built high. He also stated that the city
needs to build another dock and he would like to see a
work session on the need for a dock.
XIII.
COMMISSION & ADMIN. RESPONSE TO CITIZENS'
COMMENTS:
MARTIN stated that the height restriction had
been removed in the industrial zone. The Alaska Railroad
is looking at putting in an extension to the 4th of July
Creek area as well as other sites.
In answer to Valdatta's comment, YANEZ stated
that the north dock area has been reviewed. The Port
Committee will address the Trade Board to request the
City Council to move the need for a dock extension up on
the priority list of the City's capital improvements
plan. The hospital is still the number one priority of
the city at this point.
In answer to a question from Sutherland on the
wave barrier study, Yanez stated that the city had
contributed to the cost of the study. If it is effec-
tive, then plans will proceed further.

VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Siqn Ordinance Review. This item was

B. Zoninq Code Review. This item was
deferred until later in the meeting as time allows.
IX. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Request bv Jim and Rhonda Hubbard for an
apartment in a sinqle familv residential district. Jesse
Lee Heiqhts Subdivision.
Martin stated that Hubbard asked if an apart-
ment could be included in the single family home they
planned to build and be in accordance with the zoning
code. He told her that this was not allowed, but she
could go before the Planning commission with her request.
LINDSEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE INCLUSION
OF AN APARTMENT, WHETHER WITHIN A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING
OR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING, IS AN ALLOWED USE WITHIN THE
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT; THE MOTION WAS
SECONDED BY CARPENTER.
Bardarson stated that the conflict lies between
the covenants of the subdivision and the City zoning
ordinance. usually if there is a conflict, the strictest
provision applies.
Fredrickson asked whether a "guest house" is
included in the definition.
Martin replied that the code does not specify
"guest house". A dwelling unit is defined in the code as
"a building or portion thereof containing kitchen,
living, toilet and sleeping accommodations and designed
to be occupied by one family." He noted that the use
needs to be viewed as long term. The guest house could
be used as an apartment someday.
It was clarified that two bare lots exist at
the present time. The intention is to build a house on
one lot and connect a garage with a guest house built on
top to the house by a breezeway.
Martin suggested that the guest house could be
considered as an unlisted use, then a conditional use
permit could be applied for and brought back to the
Commission at a later date. The city Code provides that
an unlisted use must meet three conditions as follows:

REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 7, 1990 VOLUME 2
C. Reauest for VACATION of a portion of
Diamond Boulevard bv Howard Sweatt.
Martin stated that Sweatt had asked that this issue
be postponed until Commissioner Kowalski returned. It
was put on the agenda for discussion only so the Commis-
sion could familiarize themselves with the issue before
it comes back for action.
Sutherland noted that the street was officially
closed and the intersection eliminated. However, the
driveway approach through Mr. Sweatt I s property had
become an "unofficial" thoroughfare. He stated that this
could be not only a concern to the property owner but
could be a potentially dangerous situation.
Martin stated that Sweatt did put the driveway
there.
Sweatt agreed that he made a poor choice in the
location of the driveway and this was something he would
need to handle himself.
Bardarson asked about the .parking area in the
recreation camp. Martin stated it was in the city right-
of-way. Bardarson replied that a parking lot was built
in the back of the place and suggested that the right-of-
way area could be turned into a picnic area.
Sweatt stated that he had no problem with
vacating the area for a park but there is a traffic
problem in the summer which needs to be dealt with. The
Air Force does not like the idea of vacating a street in
front of the recreation camp. They prefer to keep it for
a turn around area. He noted that a water control
problem also exists.
Fredrickson requested a definition of "vaca-
tion". Martin stated that the street is owned and
maintained by the city. Vacating means that the area is
no longer needed and will not be used for anything. The
property is then replatted and becomes the property of
the adjacent property owners.
Carpenter asked about a possible solution to
this problem.
Martin noted that Sweatt will have to deal with
the engineer on the drainage plan. The Commission needs
to deal with the request for vacation. The Kenai
Peninsula Borough needs 51% approval from adjacent
property owners or a letter of non-objection from the

XI. COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
The Commission agreed that the land use table
should remain as it is. When a request similar to the
Hubbard request is received, the Commission will review
each one on a case by case basis.
Martin stated that the use of a "mother in law"
or accessory apartment may come up at a later time due to
a limited amount of land and shortage of housing in
Seward.
Bardarson stated that Seward is small enough
that each case can be dealt with individually.
Sutherland stated that the commissioners were
interested in further training and seminars on planning.
Bardarson noted that the east side of the
runway was a beautiful area and suggested that everyone
should see it.

a non-avoidance policy when recommending this ordinance
to the City Council. He would like to ensure that the
trail is not interrupted in the area where the proposed
land is located. If the Marine Mammal Center becomes a
reality, he would like to see the trailhead of the
Iditarod Trail worked into the landscaping scheme and not
overlooked. The trail is a reality and being worked on
by the community.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Notice of public hearing, as posted and PUBLIC HEARING:
published as required by law regarding a request for
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT by Jim and Rhonda Hubbard for a ~~~~H~b~f~~G&e~ily
b::eezeway a,ttached g~rage and guest house as a part of a dwelling/L28,29B3 JLH
s1ngle fam1ly dwell1ng to be constructed at 300 Bear Subdivision
Drive, Lots 28 and 29, Block 3, Jesse Lee Heights Sub-
division, was noted by Sutherland.
Sutherland noted a letter from John and Karen
Wickersham, 1804 Jesse Lee Drive voicing no objection to
the construction of a three car garage. Sutherland also
noted a letter of non-objection from Duane H. Harp, 220
Bluefield Drive. The public hearing was opened.
No one spoke in order to be heard and the
public hearing was closed.
B. Notice of public hearing as posted and ZONING: PUBLIC HEAR-
published as required by law regarding proposed Ordinance ING: Land Use/Zoning
No. 638, changing the Land Use and Zoning Maps of the Map Changes. Park to
City of Seward from Park to Institutional for a portion Institutional/Waterfront
of the Waterfront Park between an extension of A Street Park between extension
and C Street was noted by Sutherland. of A and C Streets
SUTHERLAND read into the record a letter dated
December 3, 1990, from Dr.. A. J. Paul, University of
Alaska, in support of proposed Ordinance 638 as follows:
Unfortunately neither Dr. Ebbesson or
myself will be able to attend this important
meeting. However, I would like this written
response presented when 638 is discussed. We
believe that the Mammal Study center is badly
needed and that both the State and Seward will
benefit by its existence. with the current
decline in the sea lion populations, there is
great potential for disruption of our local
economy if the sea lion goes to the endangered
list. Groundfish and salmon fisheries may be
curtailed. .Thus we have a significant econom-
ic incentive to begin to understand why these

additional traffic. The view of the bay from the
pavilions would be lost if buildings were allowed as well
as the beach front area and the tree memorials in the
waterfront area. The current ferry area appears unsafe,
unattractive and uninviting. The Seward Marine Industri-
al Center is an attractive, safe and secure area.
Development which involves heavy traffic should be
encouraged across the bay. . People who camp on the
waterfront now would not want to be turned away in the
summer by Sewardites. Caravans use the beach consistent-
ly for camping.
KRIS ERCHINGER, 2Q15 Dora Way, spoke in
opposition to rezoning of the area. Seward has grown and
developed greatly in the past twenty years and is still
a beautiful place to live. Seward has a strong economic
foundation and the quality of life has improved. She
stated that she was fortunate to find a job and continue
a life in Seward after . college. She noted that she
appreciates the economic opportunities available in
Seward. The softball fields, recreation areas, tot lots,
beaches, future bike path, waterfront camp area used
annually by campers, fishing .andthe 4th of July celebra-
tion are all valuable assets to Seward. A strong tourism
industry has evolved by promoting the natural beauty and
scenery of Seward. This tourism industry should not be
sacrificed. A balance between the quality o.f life,
industry, growth and natural beauty has made Seward what
it is today and should not be threatened.
HERMAN LEIRER, Leirer Drive, stated that he was
concerned about Mr. Paul's intentions and wondered if IMS
was staying downtown. He had no objection to having
areas to dock boats but he did object to having a trashy
looking area such as exists by the current ferry dock.
The boat harbor/dock needs to be built but it should
remain clean. The original boat harbor was built to
accommodate fishing vessels with nothing allowed on the
waterfront. Over time, this area has turned into a
commercial zone and he voiced his concern that the
proposed area would become commercial as well. There
owould eventually be no waterfront left. The area around
the Alaska Railroad Dock is already trashed with old
boats, vans and junk.
JO ANN WILEY, 2019 Dora Way, stated that the
attractions in Seward were the waterfront, bay, mountains
and the peaceful community. If the proposed dock were
built, there would be more traffic, buildings and
industry in the area. The ball fields are close and
additional traffic would become a hazard to children.
Many people come to Seward to camp on the waterfront.

REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 5, 1990 VOLUME 2
HERMAN LEIRER, Leirer Drive, stated that he was
opposed to using parkland for docks and harbors but would
not object to'using it ,just for boat loading.
No one else spoke in order to be heard and the
public hearing was closed.
SUTHERLAND asked Kerry Martin to answer some of
the questions brought.up by the citizens at the hearing,
specifically, buildings and traffic.
MARTIN noted that .all input from the public was
pertinent, important and valid. The staff direction on
this land issue had to do with finding a suitable docking
area for the Tustumena so Seward would remain the home-
port. The Department Of Transportation is working with
the City through the process 'of upgrading the ferry dock
in Seward. . A joint study was done by the Institute of
Marine Science, DOT/PF and the City of Seward to deter-
mine the feasibility of upgrading the existing dock on
4th Avenue. After the study,. DOT/PF started the design
and discovered the dock could not be figured to meet the
criteria which is to dock the ferry year round in a safe
place without being blown around, therefore, the State is
no longer pursuing design of 4th Avenue dock. Many areas
in Seward were looked at but nothing else was found that
would work. The University of Alaska hired a private
firm to seek a place to dock a ferry/research vessel and
a cruise ship. The waterfront area that was selected was
correct with prevailing winds. Since funds for this
project would be federal, the Federal Highway Administra-
tion would not allocate money if the area was designated
as park. The administration was looking for the least
impact solution in which to remove the funding roadblock.
Without federal funding, the dock could not be built.
The proposed Institutional designation would include
government and public service facilities. No commercial
industries would be allowed. The table of land uses
would need to be changed if the zone were changed to
allow for certain uses in that certain zone. Martin ex-
plained the terms of the land use table which pertain to
this issue. He stated that the high risk designation had
not been removed for the waterfront area, but that is
another hurtle which would need to be addressed before
any plan could go further. The Council directed the City
Administration to find a way to build a ferry terminal
rather than lose its homeport status for the Tustumena.

REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 5, 1990 VOLUME 2
BETWEEN EXTE~SIONS. OF A STREET AND C
STREET.
KOWALSKI MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 90-
002; THE MOT~ON WAS SECONDEp BY LINpSEY.
CARPENTER asked if the 4th Avenue dock was in-
adequate according to the Alaska Marine Highway System
evaluation. Martin stated that it was. He noted that
the TustumenQ may be taken out of Seward since it is
served by road. If Sewarq can' provide an adequate
docking facil i ty , it might be possible to retain the
ferry.
KOWALSKI stated that the public had many good
things to say. The Institutional des1gnation is such
that only facilities such as government, education and
public service would be allowed. Generally, these types
of areas are landscaped as part of the plan so it would
not look trashy. Since the area is an unstable, high
risk area, parking and building may not even be allowed.
She noted that a dock perpendicular to the shoreline
would stand up to the wind where the 4th Avenue Dock
cannot. The area could be regulated to allow for public
concerns such as traffic congestion. She noted that she
would support this resolution.
FREDRICKSON thanked the public for speaking to
the issue. After the studies which were done, the
waterfront seems to be the only place suitable. He noted
his preference to locating it near the railroad dock or
across the bay.
MARTIN stated that the marine industrial center
is committed to ship repair, cargo, fishing, barges and
other similar industries. The ferry comes to town on a
set schedule and the dock must remain free for this
vessel. The long term plan provides for a wing dock to
enclose the harbor at SMIC and accommodate a ferry,
however, the cost is phenomenal at this point.
FREDRICKSON noted his concern about the bike
path being in the proposed area.
SUTHERLAND stated that ferries run on a
schedule and are only in port at certain times. The
impact on the surrounding area would not be so severe as
suggested.
LINDSEY asked if the city would be providing
more camping areas. MARTIN replied that there could be
a possible expansion in Forest Acres and the beach along

THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY KOWALSKI; AND CARRIED UNANI-
MOUSLY.
VIII.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Reauest bv Howard Sweatt to vacate a
portion of Dimond Boulevard.
SUTHERLAND stated that Mr. Sweatt had reque.sted
that this item be delayed from the prior meeting until
commissioner Kowalski returned. Mr. Sweatt was not
present.
KOWALSKI asked about the flooding problem in
the area.
MARTIN explained that Mr. Sweatt was concerned
that with the clearing of trees and brush for the school,
the runoff could wash down and raise the water level
higher than before. The City's position was that flood
control measures have been implemented so a potential
problem does not exist.
LINDSEY MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO
THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CITY EITHER JOIN MR. HOWARD
SWEATT AND THE STATE OF ALASKA OR ISSUE A STATEMENT OF
NON-OBJECTION TO PETITION THE VACATION OF DIMOND BOULE-

REGULAR MEETING ~ DECEMBER 5, 1990 VOLUME 2
MARTIN responded to the comments of the
commi ttee. He. stated that the time frame for this
project is many years. The main reason for this zoning
change is to enable the city to make plans and perform
studies. The Federal Highway Administration would not
commit any funds if the' property is not available.
Keeping the ferry in the downtown area benefits Seward
because shoppers come downtown when the ferry is in.
There would be nowhere to go if the ferry was located
across the bay. ' Longshoremen would still have jobs to
tie up the ferry. The State could use their own person-
nel for this work but they have contracted it out
locally.
He noted that berthing. or docking a vessel in
the wind is difficult. It is hard to maintain a vessel
alongside the dock in certain wind conditions. Wind can
be severe enough to prohibit berthing, but once a vessel
is alongside the railroad dock, it can be controlled.
SUTHERLAND stated that the ferry brings many
people to town and local people work on the boat.
LINDSEY asked about an increase in traffic if
a cruise ship dock were built. Martin replied that it
would not increase significantly because of the dock.
FREDRICKSON stated that the commission voted to
keep the options open and not to give away the greenbelt.
YANEZ concurred stating that he'understood the
sentiments of the public. The areas near the ball
diamonds are heavily used by the community. He noted
that the public would have another chance to speak on
this issue at the Council meeting.
XIV. ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was
