Forest Acres Road. She stated that the streets within the Forest Acres Subdivision and
surrounding area were already extremely busy due to the Solid Waste Transfer Facility,
elementary school, Army and Air Force Recreation Camps and the public campground.
SHEILA SQUIRES, 2423 Maple Street, objected to the relocation of the city shop on Lot
12A, Fort Raymond Subdivision since it would create a safety hazard for school children within
the Forest Acres Subdivision who walk to and from school. She added that the existing Forest
Acres right-of-ways were too narrow for the additional traffic that would be generated by the
existence of a new city shop in the area.
No one else appeared in order to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION (Kincheloe/Niebrugge)
Recommend the Solid Waste Transfer
Station area at the end of Dimond Boule-
vard as the preferred location for a new
city and state shop complex, contingent
upon the construction of the North Forest
Acres Road.
Clark expressed concern that the recommended site would not meet the location needs for
a new Parks and Recreation warehouse or an auxiliary fire station.
Niebrugge stated that recommending the Solid Waste Transfer Facility area for the location
of a new city shop would adequately address public concerns.
Castellina supported recommending the Solid Waste Transfer Station Facility area as the
preferred location for a new city shop. She noted that the location would allow for the future
expansion of the facility without encroaching into residential neighborhoods.
VOTE ON MOTION
Motion Passed.
YES: Carpenter, Castellina, Clark,
Niebrugge, Kincheloe
NO: Bardarson
Resolution No. 96-01, Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Mike Arledge,

for the operation of a vehicle impound lot on Lot 4, Block 14, Federal Addition. He stated that

ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
Martin stated that the National Planning Conference was being held in Florida this year
and included sessions on the Planning Commission. He reported on recent and future council
action related to the city shop relocation and parking issues.
Yanez reviewed a proposed RFP for planning, development, marketing, fmancing,
management and disposition of designated property within the City. He stated that the grand
opening of the youth center was scheduled for Sunday, March 10.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
CLARKstated that public quality of life concerns should be incorporated into the proposed
RFP for City property, and the successful contractor should not be allowed to participate in the
development of city parcels due to a direct fmancial conflict of interest.
SKlBENESSstated that the former plans, such as the Land Management Plan, completed
by the city and comments made by the public on the plans should be incorporated into the RFP
in order to avoid duplication of efforts. She suggested the annual rotation of the chairman and
vice chairman in order to give other commissioners experience.
NlEBRUGGEcomplimented the administration on the development of the flood mitigation
and cemetery plans.
CASTELLINA agreed with the rotation of chairman. She questioned the need to develop
a land plan for the city again.
CITIZENS'DISCUSSION
CAROL CHAUDIERE, 1129 Cliff View Place, commented that the proposed RFP should
not be limited to just "expert fIrms" but to anyone who felt qualified to respond. She stated that
a conflict of interest existed if a contractor were allowed to receive a fmancial return through fees

4. Mary Barry, who wrote several books on Seward's history.
Skibeness stated that all recipients of the award were listed on a plaque hung in city hall
and received a framed proclamation from the City Council.
She further stated that the Commission had nominated five properties to the state's
endangered property list including St. Peters Episcopal Church, the Jesse Lee Home, The Alaska
Railroad Depot, the Railroad observation car and the Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel.
Skibeness invited everyone to attend the April 17 work session to be held at the Seward
Commercial Building at 7:00 p.m.
PRESENTATIONS WITH PRIOR NOTICE
Dan Claugus - Jesse Lee Home Development
Claugus presented plans for renovation and operation of the Jesse Lee Home. He indicated
that there were no plans to connect Benson Road to Phoenix. He displayed a site plan and
discussed traffic flow patterns.
He noted that the first phase included renovation of Jewel Guard Hall and the Balto
Building. He stated that the Jewel Guard Hall basement would house a bakery, confectionery and
ice cream production area tied into the first floor and hotel rooms, and the first floor would
include a bakery and confectionery, ice cream shop, travel agency, hotel main entrance, hotel
suites and gift shop. He stated that the remaining fIreplace would be restored if possible, and he
planned to erect a 100 ft flagpole. He reported that the second floor would consist of hotel
rooms, an Alaska historical theater or dinner theater and other commercial uses, and the third
floor would be hotel rooms. He noted that space would be available for lease, and if alcohol was
served, it would be only beer and wine with meals.
He stated that the basement of the Balto building would house a fitness center and game
room, primarily for summer use. He noted that the first floor would include an Alaska style
buffet restaurant and kitchen, and the second floor would house a gift shop and grocery.
Claugus indicated an interest in pursuing linking the Jesse Lee Home development with
a ski resort which would entail an assemblage of several neighboring properties after construction
of the first two phases.
Bardarson suspended the rules to allow questions from the audience. There was no
objection from the Commission. Claugus indicated that meeting rooms would be available for the
public. An audience member noted that the topography off Benson would allow underground
parking, and the Gulf of Alaska was visible from the third floor corner. Claugus reported that
he had spoken with Judy Martin about senior housing for the second phase, Goode Hall, and
Martin had indicated a need for 10 to 12 new senior housing units. Claugus stated that he was

Cemetery. He thanked Harry Gieseler for obtaining this only known replica. He stated that the
American Legion would like its cemetery to remain independent.
CHARLES KARGES, 2511 Dimond, member of the Pioneers, requested City attendance
at the organization's meeting to discuss the plan. He queried why the original cemetery land was
used for other purposes when there was inadequate cemetery land.
WILLARD DUNHAM, 600' Alder Street, appreciated the fact that the cemetery was being
addressed. He stated that John Walsh possessed some records of where people were buried. He
noted that there were temporary metal markers that may be engraved with names. He suggested
fencing, gates, plotting and keeping the flowers instead of grass. He also noted that Mr. Kerns
used to have a log and diary of the cemetery. He supported the idea of allowing family plots.
He agreed with Karges about maintaining the size of the cemetery lands and suggested adding to
the reserve. He noted that the historical aspect of the cemetery should be of interest to tourists.
He suggested taking care of the cemetery in phases rather than as a whole project.
No one else spoke in order to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
Martin displayed the John Walsh butcher paper record of the cemetery. Dunham stated
that Walsh was still alive and could help decipher the record. Martin asked who would do the
mapping and locating of the graves. He noted that the City received a $12,000 legislative grant
to relocate a road and begin a new area, remove debris and clean up the brush. He added that the
City had applied for a historic preservation grant to survey the grave sites, but no state money was
available and the program was canceled.
Martin understood that the Legion wanted to keep the veterans cemetery, the Masons
wanted to maintain its cemetery, and the Oddfellows, with no members in Alaska, indicated a
willingness to deed the parcel to the City as long as any future members could be buried there.
Martin liked the idea of volunteer work days if a coordinator could be found. He appreciated the
input and stated that he would attend the next Pioneers' meeting. He stated that the tentative
schedule was to have another public hearing with action by the Commission in May.
Kincheloe agreed that the permit fees should be nominal. She hoped that groups could
work together towards an agreed upon standard. She stated that the monuments were family
choice issues. She objected to a bike path through the cemetery but supported walking paths and
meditation areas. She volunteered to work with the groups on this project.
Skibeness thanked everyone for attending. She liked the idea of the historical character
of the cemetery.
Swartz stated that there used to be a successful cemetery clean-up day, and she thought it
was still a good idea.
Clark noted that he was getting a sense of deep community involvement. He suggested

development by CUP rather than rezone, Claugus had no objection as long as he could develop
the property.
MANFORD DIETRICH, Old Nash Road, owner of an adjoining property to the Jesse
Lee Home, spoke in support of mixed zoning in order to allow the property development. He
believed the community and developer could resolve potential differences.
WILLARD DUNHAM, 600 Alder Street, stated that he was glad to see someone
interested in developing the Jesse Lee Home. He also supported the rezone for Mr. Meehan. He
agreed with Meehan's comments about land surrounding his proposed inn.
MIKE WILEY, 550 Railway, spoke in support of the Jesse Lee Home project and noted
that the building had been on the state's most endangered property list many times.
No one else spoke in order to be heard, and the public hearing was closed. Carpenter
asked Martin to explain the reason for recommending a change in the land use plan to allow hotels
by CUP rather than rezone of the property. Martin stated that, with the CUP process, the public
would have an opportunity to address the project through public hearing, but once rezoned, any
use allowed could be done without public involvement.
MOTION (Bardarson/Carpenter)
Recommend to the City Council the rezone
of Lots 1 and 2, Block 9, and Lot 12,
Block 10, Federal Addition; and Lots SA,
9A and llA, Oceanview Subdivision No 10
from a mix of Office Residential, Urban
Residential and Institutional to Auto
Oriented Commercial.
Bardarson discussed existing uses in the area and supported rezone since part of the
surrounding property was already zoned AC and the land was contiguous with the zoning.
Clark supported the development through a CUP process rather than rezoning the entire
area. He discussed the comprehensive plan and the concentration of commercial uses.
Niebrugge supported both projects but was concerned with development that might take
place at the other rezoned properties. He supported change of the land use table in order to
protect the surrounding neighborhoods.
Kincheloe reported that she had received calls from the neighbors in support of the
Meehan rezone and echoed the concerns of Clark and Niebrugge. She stated that, with the
opening of the SeaLife Center, the need for quality lodging facilities warranted the project. She
felt it was important to protect the surrounding neighborhoods and properties and favored the CUP
process rather than rezone.

Unanimous.
VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED
Motion Passed.
Unanimous.
Draft RFP for the Planning. Development. Marketing. Financing. Management and
Disposition of Designated Property in Seward. Alaska
Martin explained the process to be used. He asked for comments and concerns on the
draft.
Clark stated that he would like to see Commission review and approval of the conclusions
reached at the end of each task. He voiced concern about a possible conflict of interest situation
and recommended the deletion of the second sentence allowing the successful bidder or responder
to participate in the development of some of the parcels if approved by the Council.
Kincheloe was concerned about the effects of transportation that were not addressed in the
RFP. She also had difficulty with the cost benefit ratio and asked for more detailed information.
She noted that the RFP should reflect the plans adopted by the community in the past.
Skibeness proposed additional evaluation criteria on page 101, Item 7, "How well public
resident's quality of life concerns have been addressed." She stated that private industry
performed better than a government entity, but must have some incentive. She asked the city
manager about other situations similar to this RFP process.
City Manager Garzini stated that he had been receiving an average of two inquiries per
week on the available land. He stated that the RFP would allow for more orderly development
and provide a master marketing plan adopted by the community. He stated that the tentative time
line is to advertise the RFP in June, open proposals in August, and plan to dispose of the
properties in spring 1997.
MOTION (Clark/Niebrugge)
Postpone until May 1, 1996.

Planning Commission Minutes

CITIZENS'DISCUSSION
JAMES KRASNANSKY, 536 Second Avenue, on behalf of SV AC, had hoped the
landscaping plan would be approved as presented. He asked for a definition of a solid fence
because SV AC thought a steel mesh fence was solid. He stated that most of the work was done
on a volunteer basis and it was not economical to erect a solid wood fence. He noted that SV AC
may appeal the Commission's decision.
WILLARD DUNHAM, 600 Alder Street, stated that the pre-bid conference for the ASLC
project was attended by 59 people. He noted that Seward had a serious housing shortage,
especially first class housing. He added that the proliferation of B&B's has contributed to the
problem. He suggested that the city use some of the $12,000 to do some platting and
identification of burial sites in the cemetery. He added that many of the deceased were registered
through the court system.
MIKE MEEHAN thanked the Commission for its time and support. He stated that he
would lobby the Council to proceed with his project.
CAROL CHAUDIERE, 1129 Cliff View Place, suggested SV AC plant trees as a barrier
rather than install a fence. She stated that the area would look better with some landscaping such
as trees.
COMMISSION & ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO CITIZENS' COMMENTS
KINCHELOE reported that the Director of Corrections was not supporting any expansion
of the Spring Creek Prison because of the housing shortage in Seward.
SKIBENESS thanked the public for staying through the lengthy meeting.
BARDARSON stated that he would rather see no fence at the SV AC site than a metal
fence. It was the consensus of Commission to reconsider the SV AC fence issue at the next
meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 11 :08 pm.

Commission acting in a quasi-judicial role.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS NOT SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC
HEARING None.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION (Castellina/Niebrugge)
Approve the Agenda and Consent Agenda.
Clark moved the SV AC Conditional Use Permit fence requirement to the regular agenda.
Motion Passed.
Unanimous
Bardarson noted the following consent agenda items approved by the Commission:
The April 3, 1996, regular meeting minutes were approved as written;
Thomas replat of Lots 15 and 16, Block 6, Cliff Addition, was recommended to the
Borough Planning Commission for approval; and
Letter from Four Seasons Property Management regarding development of its leased
railroad property at Port Avenue and Fourth Avenue was noted for information.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution No. 96-05, granting a conditional use permit to Daniel Claugus for
renovation and development of the Jesse Lee Home as a hotel complex on Lot
15B, Jesse Lee Heights Subdivision Addition No. 4
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
WALTER CORRIGAN, 1708 Chiswell, stated that the historical nature of the building
had prompted the allowed use of a hotel in the R3 zone by conditional use permit. He stated that
the original facade of the building should be restored to its natural state, minimal signage should
be allowed and alcoholic beverages should be prohibited since the complex was located in a
residential neighborhood. He noted that the Land Use Plan prohibited an alcoholic establishment
in residential zones. He stated that preservation was important but the needs of the citizens living
in the area should be considered first.
DAN CLAUGUS, Eagle River, stated that he had no plans to operate a country western
bar. He noted that no decision had been made on whether or not alcohol would be allowed but
he planned to serve only beer or wine with meals if allowed. He stated that he would not serve

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 4, Page 41
Motion Passed.
Unanimous consent.
Clark stated that the first priority was to ensure the historical integrity of the Jesse Lee
Home while encouraging Mr. Claugus to complete the development according to the conditions
in the CUP.
MOTION (Castellina/Clark)
Amend Section 2, Condition 10, by adding
approval by the State Historic Preservation
Office.
Castellina stated that review by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was
necessary since the Jesse Lee Home was of historical significance. Skibeness wanted to be sure
that the Home remained on the national historic register.
In answer to concerns by the Commission, Coombs clarified that he would be working
with the SHPO and Mr. Peterson from the National Park Service on the Jesse Lee Project.
VOTE ON MOTION
Motion Passed.
Unanimous
MOTION (Castellina/Niebrugge)
Delete Condition No.3, requirement to
construct a bike path in the existing
easement along the south side of Benson
Drive from Swetmann Avenue west to
Phoenix Road and extending south 117.68
feet along Phoenix Road.
Castellina stated that it was not necessary to require construction of a bike path. She noted
that the project would require considerable funding without the added cost of a bike path.
Skibeness stated that the increased traffic could be hazardous to neighborhood children so
she proposed the construction of a bike path along the corridor off Swetmann as a safe path for
pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
Kincheloe stated that it was improper to require the construction of a bike path on property
that was not owned by the developer.
MOTION (Kincheloe/Skibeness)
Amend Condition 3 to read" Construction
of a bike and pedestrian path, to standards
approved by the city's Manager of Engi-
neering and Utilities, in the existing ease-
ment along the south side of Benson Drive
on parcel 15B."

Niebrugge stated that he had not had sufficient time to review the application and
conditions in order to make a clear decision. He requested further information from Mr. Claugus

Dan Claugus stated that he had a short time frame in which to install the sewer and roof
during the 1996 construction season. He objected to being forced to purchase additional property

Niebrugge supported city involvement with permitting and record-keeping, but privatizing
the management and maintenance. Bardarson suggested monuments rather than a fence that would
block the view.
Kincheloe stated that the cemetery was part of the city's heritage, and she supported city
ownership of the larger lot and the cemetery in the Salmon Creek area. She stated that the city
could enter into operating agreements with private enterprise and set standards for maintenance.
Clark supported total management by private organizations and no city involvement.

The Commission discussed various aspects of the request to vacate the Second Avenue
alley right of way.

harbor area rather than throughout the city.
Kincheloe requested the inclusion of a reference to require consideration of existing city
plans including the comprehensive plan and an explanation of any deviation from existing plans.
In addition, she requested a cost benefit analysis and consideration of traffic patterns within the

Planning and Zoning Commission meeting schedule through January 1997 was approved;
and
Letters regarding the Alaska SeaLife Center archaeological monitoring and Section 106
compliance were noted for information.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution No. 96-06, authorizing a Conditional Use permit to Samantha and
Jeff Ovenden for Livestock (a horse) on Lot KK, Forest Acres Subdivision
Skibeness reported a possible conflict of interest because her husband owned the property
adjacent to Lot KK and she had a substantial direct or indirect financial interest in the proposal.
Bardarson ruled that no conflict of interest existed as there would be no significant
financial gain for Skibeness.
MOTION(Skibeness/Castellina)
Shall the decision of the Chair stand?
Motion Failed.
YES:
NO:
Bardarson, Niebrugge
Carpenter, Castellina,
Skibeness
Clark,
Skibeness abstained from discussion or voting on the resolution.
Note: Commissioner Skibeness voted on the above motion in error. If she had refrained from
voting, the resulting vote would have remained the same.
Notice of the public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and
the public hearing was opened.
SAMANTHA OVENDEN, 2608 Birch Street, stated that she and her husband moved to
Seward from Colorado after visiting last year. She added that they had found a home in Forest
Acres Subdivision with enough room for their horse and they planned to erect a two stall barn and
12' x 36' fence in the northeast comer of the lot. She requested that the Commission approve
Resolution No. 96-06, granting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a horse on the lot.
BRENDA O'BRIEN, 609 Fourth Avenue, Seward Real Estate Company, stated that Lot
KK was twice the size required by the Zoning Code. She added that a horse would not
significantly affect the value of adjoining property and requested the Commission's approval of
Resolution No. 96-06.
No one else appeared in order to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.

Planning Commission Minutes

DAVID SQUIRES, 2423 Maple Street, requested that the Commission recommend
approval of the proposed land use plan and rezone request. He stated that he owned lots BK and
BL which was zoned Rl. He added that he had two horses on the property for three years and
requested the land use plan amendment and rezone in order to come into compliance with the
Zoning Code.
In response to a question from PAT MARTIN, 2411 Cedar Street, Kerry Martin noted
that the primary difference between the RR and Rl zoning districts was that the RR zone required
that lots be at least 20,000 square feet in size and allowed livestock, and the Rl zone required
7,000 square foot lots and did not allow livestock.
SANDRA SCHAFER, 2101 Maple Street, stated that she maintained horses on property
that was currently zoned Rl and requested that the Commission recommend approval of the
proposed land use plan amendment and rezone.
MOTION (Clark/Skibeness)
Approve Resolution No. 96-07.
Clark stated that he supported recommending an amendment to the land use plan and
zoning as requested by the applicant.
Skibeness noted that lot BH was only 19,776 square feet, which was less than the 20,000
square feet required by the Zoning Code.
MOTION (Bardarson/Niebrugge)
Postpone until July 10, 1996.
Skibeness stated that she supported postponing action on the proposal because the property
owner (Afognak Logging) may not have been aware that rezoning lot BH to Rural Residential
would make it a nonconforming lot.
Castellina stated that she was opposed to postponing action on the proposal.
VOTE ON POSTPONEMENT
Motion Failed.
YES: Bardarson, Niebrugge, Skibeness
NO: Carpenter, Castellina, Clark
MOTION (Clark/Carpenter)
Amend Resolution No. 96-07 and the rec-
ommended ordinance by deleting Lots BH
& BI.
Bardarson suspended the rules without objection from the Commission.
Sandra Schafer, speaking on behalf of Afognak Logging, stated that she had no objection
to the removal of Lots BH and BI from the proposal.

In response to questions from Carpenter, Snowden stated that he originally agreed to all
of the permit conditions under duress. He stated that the cost of the three conditions in question
totaled $50,000. He added that a fmancial institution would determine if financing was available
for the project with the additional costs of the permit conditions.
In response to a question from Skibeness, Snowden stated that when he signed the
development agreement in 1995 he was attempting to meet all of the permit conditions.
Martin clarified that Mr. Snowden originally requested relocation of the road to
accommodate his hotel project.
MOTION (CarpenterISkibeness)
Approve Resolution No. 96-08.
Skibeness stated that the permit conditions were developed to mitigate the impacts the
proposed hotel would have on the community.
Niebrugge stated that the construction of the boardwalk was required of all other
businesses along the waterfront and therefore should remain a condition of Snowden's permit.
He added that he would not object to deleting the condition to relocate Fourth Avenue, as it would
then be the responsibility of the developer to negotiate with the City Council for financing the
road relocation.
Bardarson stated that the Commission did not have the authority to make a decision
regarding financing the road relocation.
Carpenter stated that he supported the hotel project, however, fmancial issues were not the
responsibility of the Commission, and therefore he could not support the proposed amendment to
delete the conditions of the permit. He encouraged Mr. Snowden to appeal to the City Council.
Castellina agreed with Carpenter and Bardarson.

Conditional Use Permit Review Process
Martin stated that the current Conditional Use Permit review process of holding the public
hearing and reviewing and taking action on an application during one meeting had resulted in
hasty decisions and amendments. He noted that there was no requirement that the Commission
review and take action on a CUP application during one meeting. He noted that some
communities reviewed and took action on an application over the course of two meetings. He
requested input from the commission on a preferred CUP review process.
After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to continue with the
current practice of holding the public hearing, reviewing and taking action on Conditional
Use Permit applications during one meeting. It was further decided that, if there was
considerable commission discussion on a specific application, action would be postponed until
after a work session was held.
COMMISSION COMMENTS
CASTELLINA questioned if the Conditional Use Permit review required that the fmdings
of fact be listed in the resolution and repeated in the staff report analysis.
SKffiENESS distributed handouts from the Planning Commissioner Training that was held
in March in Anchorage.
BARD ARSON stated that he had filed his conflict of interest statement and was in
compliance. He noted that, although he had not paid the related fine, it was a civil issue.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS
MARGARET ANDERSON, 200 Marathon Drive, stated that she was introducing an
ordinance which would require art in public buildings. She requested feedback from the
Commission.
CAROL CHAUDIERE CLARK, 1129 Cliff View Place, stated that the Zoning Code
limited home owners with one 30' x 100' Original Townsite lot from further developing their
property. She added that the development requirements restricted additional housing.
COMMISSION & ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO CITIZENS' COMMENTS
CLARK supported art in federally funded facilities.
SKIBENESS supported the proposed ordinance to require art in public facilities.

SPECIAL REPORTS
Borough Planning Commission. Carpenter reported that the Commission was rewriting Chapter
21.14 of the Borough Code of Ordinances, regarding the management of mobile home parks. He
stated that the Commission also sponsored an ordinance regarding the establishment of advisory
planning commissions. He noted that, because the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental
Conservation had ceased all environmental/public health oversight of subdivision plans effective
July 1, 1996, the Commission was drafting an ordinance requiring the signature of a certified
engineer on all final subdivision plats to ensure that the requirements of 18 AAC 72 continued to
be met.
He stated that the following preliminary plats located within the Seward area were approved by
the Commission: Lost Lake Subdivision No.5; Cliff Addition, Thompson Replat; Old Mill
Subdivision Addition No.4; Saindon Subdivision No.2; and Old Mill Subdivision, Bohna-Fouts
Addition.
City Administration Report. Martin reported that the City Council adopted the Seward
Community Cemeteries Management Action Plan at its July 8th meeting. He stated that a City
Council work session would be held on July 15th to discuss the issuance of a request for proposals
to lease the historic railroad depot building, city ballfields and certain property in the harbor area,
and a proposal to offer certain surplus city property for sale by public bid or auction. He added
that Brad Snowden had appealed the Commission's June 5th action denying his request to amend
his Conditional Use Permit for a hotel in the Small Boat Harbor. He noted that the City Council,
acting as the Board of Adjustment, would hear the appeal on July 15th.
James stated that the Deputy City Clerk had expressed concern over the commission
continually suspending the rules to obtain information from the audience.
Jesse Lee Home Renovation Project Update. Billy B. Johnson, spoke as a representative for
Dan Claugus, developer of the Jesse Lee Home renovation project. He stated that various
construction companies were evaluating the building to determine the cost of the restoration. He
added that adjacent lands were being acquired to prevent traffic and parking congestion. He stated
that the developer intended to coordinate with the State Office of History and Archaeology in
order to maintain the Home's National Register status.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 4, Page 59
Notice of the public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and
the public hearing was opened.
MICHAEL BRITTAIN, 231 Ballaine Boulevard, objected to the proposed rezone. He
stated that the proposal was counter to the principals of the Land Use Plan and the Historic
Preservation Plan. He added that rezoning the proposed area to Central Business District (CBD)
would increase Seward's existing parking problem.
KIM HASTY, 215 Sixth Avenue, spoke in support of the requested land use plan
amendment and rezone. He stated that the proposed area was currently surrounded by CBD
Zoning.
MIKE WILEY, 550 Railway Avenue, stated that he owned three lots to the immediate
south of the subject area which were already zoned CBD. He added that he had initiated the
proposed rezone after purchasing two lots within Block 8 which were zoned Auto Commercial.
He stated that the proposed rezone presented an opportunity to revive the downtown and allow
it to grow. He added that he did not believe that the proposal threatened the historic character of
the area.
DONALD SUTHERLAND, 225 Sixth Avenue, stated that the 1985 Comprehensive Plan
recommended the expansion of the CBD towards Ballaine Boulevard. He pointed out that the
proposed area was currently surrounded by the CBD.
No one else appeared in order to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION (Skibeness/Niebrugge)
Approve Resolution No. 96-12.
Skibeness stated that according to the Zoning Code, Land Uses Allowed Table, single and
two-family homes were not allowed within the CBD. She requested that the administration
explain how the proposed rezone would effect the single-family residences in the subject area.
Martin stated that if the area was rezoned to CBD, the existing single-family homes would
become nonconforming. He noted that a nonconforming structure could not be enlarged or altered
in any way which would increase its nonconformity.
Niebrugge expressed concern over the effect the proposed rezone would have on the
existing uses.
MOTION (Clark/Niebrugge)
Postpone Action on Resolution No. 96-12.
Clark requested that prior to acting on the proposed rezone, the Commission review the
long term implications of such a change. He presented a proposal which would channel
development along Fourth A venue in order to link the existing downtown retail area and the Small

Sign Code Review
Martin stated that the administration was redrafting the sign code to make it more user
friendly. The commission discussed various sections of the sign code and made the following
comments and recommendations:
1. Regulate advertisement sIgns, special event signs and informational sIgns
separately.
2. Provided they do not encroach into the public rights-of-way and sidewalks, allow
portable sandwich board signs.
3. Keep the sign code fairly restrictive to prevent Seward from becoming cluttered
with signs.
4. Utilize a system which relates both to lot size and building size for determining
total sign area limits.
5. Continue to allow businesses with frontage on more than one street to place signs
on each street frontage, provided that frontage limits are not combined.
6. Allow signs facing the waterfront by considering the waterfront the same as street
or lot frontage.
7. Continue to permit signs within required setbacks.
8. Limit the total number of freestanding signs on a lot to one per business or one per
so many feet.
COMMISSION COMMENTS
Clark stated that he would convey his opposition on the recommended rezone to the
Council.
Carpenter supported suspending the rules to allow public participation and obtain
information that would assist in decision making.
Skibeness stated that she was supportive of Clark's zoning and land use plan discussed
during the rezone proposal. She added that she was comfortable with the Commission's actions
and did not think it was wrong to rezone land in response to the community's development and
growth. She supported suspending the rules to obtain information from the public.
Niebrugge stated that he supported suspending the rules to obtain information that would
assist in decision making.

Proposed Land Use Plan and Zoning Changes
Martin discussed the proposed amendments to the Land Use Plan and Zoning as outlined
in the agenda statement. He stated that a majority of the recommended amendments included
property along First and Second Avenue which was zoned Single-Family Residential (Rl) but
designated Urban Residential (UR) within the Land Use Plan.
The Commission directed the administration to notify the affected property owners and
hold a public hearing at the next meeting on the recommended land use plan and zoning
amendments, subject to the exclusion of rezoning the Third Avenue tot lot to Central Business
District and Lots 9-12, Block 13, Federal Addition to Auto Commercial.
Kincheloe stated that she was opposed to any further expansion of the existing Central
Business District.
RECESS:
The meeting recessed at 9:25 p.m. and reconvened at 9:30 p.m.
NEW BUSINESS
Land Use & Zoning Proposal for Downtown Seward & Surrounding Area
(Recommended by Commissioner Clark)
Clark discussed his proposed plan for the land use and zoning for the Downtown and
surrounding area which included the following components:
1. Replace the Commercial Business District with a more restricted Historic Business
District extending from Railway to Adams along Fourth Avenue.
2. Rezone Fourth Avenue from Adams to Port Avenue to Office Residential, but
rename that zoning type as Retail Commercial. Utilize the west side of Fifth and
the east side of Third for parking and Fourth A venue as a pedestrian artery
between downtown and the harbor.
3. Rezone existing in-place professional and commercial business properties such that
their continued existence is permitted.
4. Rezone existing in-place institutional properties such that their continued existence
is permitted, except that the City and State Shops revert to Urban Residential
zoning when they are removed and a site for the proposed combined visitor center
is reserved along Ballaine Blvd.
5. Rezone all remaining property south of the Lagoon to Urban Residential.
He stated that his proposal encouraged retail development without threatening the character
of downtown Seward or breaking up primary residential areas.
Martin stated that the proposed plan was similar to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 4, Page 69
DAVE THOMPSON, 103 Madison, opposed the proposed rezone. He stated that he
purchased his home because he enjoyed the neighborhood's single-family residential character.
JERRY KING, 900 Third Avenue, requested that the commission amend the proposed
ordinance to include rezoning property he owned along Third Avenue, and legally described as
Lots 9-12, Block 13, Federal Addition, from Two-Family Residential to Auto Commercial in
accordance with the Land Use Plan.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, stated that he opposed the proposed rezone of
property along First and Second Avenue to UR. He added that the property was zoned Rl when
he purchased it 27 years ago, and he wanted the area to remain a single-family neighborhood,
BRENT WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, informed the Commission that the property
owners had opposed amending the Land Use Plan to designate the area along First and Second
A venue as UR. He encouraged the Commission to respect the historic character of the area as
a single-family residential neighborhood.
DAVE DERUWE, 517 First Avenue, opposed the proposed rezone. He stated that the
area along First and Second Avenue was the only Single-Family Residential neighborhood near
the Central Business District. He questioned the purpose of the proposed zoning amendment.
MEGS TESTARMATA, 321 Second Avenue, opposed the proposed rezone. She
requested that the Land Use Plan for the area along First and Second Avenue be amended to Rl.
She stated that multi-family dwellings attracted transient residents who had nothing invested in the
property and were not interested in protecting the character of the neighborhood. She added that
she was not opposed to allowing two family dwellings or duplexes in the area, but was strongly
opposed to multi-family residences. She stated that a local business had been operating a seasonal
bunkhouse in the Rl zone for a number of years.
CINDY ROOK, 524 Second A venue, stated that she owned a tri-plex across the street
from her residence in the Rl zoning district. She added that although she bought the tri-plex eight
years ago, she was not aware that the use was not allowed in the Rl zoning district until she
applied for a lodging permit this year. She questioned what her options were if the proposed
rezone was not approved.
No one else appeared in order to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION(Carpenter/Skibeness)
Approve Resolution No. 96-14.
Carpenter stated, that in response to the citizens comments, he was opposed to the
resolution.
Clark clarified that multi-family residences would be required to obtain a conditional use
permit from the Commission.

MOTION (Kincheloe/Castellina)
Amend by deleting Section 1 (6) and re-

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 4, Page 79
Kincheloe supported requiring sidewalks along the project site to ensure a safe, pedestrian
friendly medical facility. She stated that funding of the construction could be addressed at a later
date.
Skibeness supported the construction of sidewalks along the project site.
Clark stated that additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area of the project did
not appear to be impact the proposed development. He recommended that the Commission
approve a resolution supporting City Council appropriation of funds for the construction of
sidewalks in the area surrounding the new facility.
Castellina agreed with Clark. She voiced her preference for utilizing project funds to
provide modern medical equipment and quality services. Niebrugge agreed.
Yanez stated that if sidewalks were required as a condition of the permit, the City would
be responsible for the construction costs.
VOTE ON CASTELLINA AMENDMENT
Motion Passed.
YES: Carpenter, Castellina, Clark,
Niebrugge
NO: Kincheloe, Skibeness
Kincheloe requested the utilization of low level lighting in the parking areas.
Castellina expressed her disappointment with the location of the new hospital on the south
edge of the property rather than the existing hospital site.
Skibeness encouraged the designers to increase the building setback adjacent to Lowell
Canyon Road.
Vice Chairman Carpenter suspended the rules in order to allow the project representatives
to answer questions from the Commission. There was no objection from the Commission.
In response to a question from Castellina, Colleen Bridge clarified that, because of possible
contaminants, it was not possible to remove any of the existing hospital building prior to the
construction of the new facility. She stated that the developers would be unable to pave the
parking areas until after the city removed the existing hospital.
MOTION (Clark/Skibeness)
Amend Section 2, Item Number 3, to read,
"All parking areas will be paved within
one year from the demolition of the exist-
ing hospital. "

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution No. 96-18, granting a Conditional Use Permit to Michael Endres for
the construction of two multi-family dwellings on Lots 5 and 6, Jesse Lee
Heights Subdivision, Addition No.3, at 1807 and 1809 Swetmann A venue
Martin provided an overview of the memorandum contained in the agenda packet. He
noted that the size of Lot 6 was 8,373 square feet, which made it a nonconforming lot because it
existed prior to the zoning code being amended to require a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet
for multi-family dwellings. He stated that the administration had provided a substitute resolution
because the developer had submitted a revised site plan which corrected some of the concerns
addressed in the original resolution.
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
MARGARET ANDERSON, 1125 Park Place, requested information on the exterior
appearance of the proposed four-plexes.
No one else requested to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION (Carpenter/Kincheloe)
Approve Resolution No. 96-18, Substitute.
MOTION (Kincheloe/Carpenter)
Amend Section 2, No. 6 to require that the
dumpsters be screened on all sides and
gated.
Carpenter noted that the amendment would require the dump truck drivers to leave the
vehicle to open the gate.
Skibeness stated that the proposed amendment could create a hassle for the sanitation
employees. She supported checking with the solid waste disposal services prior to such an
amendment.
Niebrugge added that snow accumulation would block the gate making it difficult to open.
Motion Failed.
YES: Kincheloe
NO: Bardarson, Carpenter, Darling,
Niebrugge, Skibeness
Skibeness stated that Section 2, No.6 should refer to the current city contractor for solid
waste disposal rather than Jason Enterprises. There was no objection from the Commission.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 4, Page 85
GILBERT NELSON, 409 Second Avenue, opposed the proposed facility which would
be located immediately south of his residence. He expressed concern over the increased traffic
and noise the proposed use would generate.
DAVID HETTICK, 330 Second A venue, opposed the proposed location for the center.
He stated that the proposed use was not compatible with the surrounding single family residential
neighborhood.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, opposed the proposed facility location because it was
surrounded by property that was zoned and used for single-family residences.
DANIEL DICKSON, 235 Sixth Avenue, stated that he did not intend for the participants
to skateboard in the parking lot. He stated that he would not object to an exterior design review.
He noted that the facility would be open to all interested youth.
No one else appeared in order to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
Bardarson suspended the rules to allow Mr. Dickson to answer questions from the
Commission. There was no objection from the Commission.
In response to a question from Niebrugge, DICKSON stated that he would be directly
responsible for supervision and anticipated recruiting the assistance of volunteer parents. He
added that the facility would generally be open until 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. He emphasized that
there would never be a time when the youth would be unsupervised.
In response to a question from Carpenter, DICKSON confirmed that regular church
services would also be conducted at the facility.
MOTION (Skibeness/Niebrugge)
Approve Resolution No. 96-19.
Skibeness stated that there were numerous public concerns about the project. She
encouraged the applicant to coordinate with the administration to address these concerns.
Niebrugge noted that, unless the proposed use failed to meet all the review criteria of the
Zoning Code, the Commission was obligated to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Kincheloe stated that the youth center component of the proposed facility did not adhere
to the definition of the Urban Residential District, which was intended to allow low impact
professional offices in the area surrounding the downtown business district. She noted that a
church would be compatible with the surrounding area.

Martin stated that in response to Commissioner Kincheloe's request at the last meeting,
this item was included on the agenda for discussion and to gain additional public input on the
Issue.
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
ELSIE WHITMORE, 201 First Avenue, stated that there was not adequate space
available for multi-family development along First and Second Avenue. She noted that the area
did not provide adequate space for children to play. She supported the area remaining single-
family residential.
BRENT WHITMORE, 201 First Avenue, requested that the Land Use Plan for the
subject area be redesignated in perpitutity to Single-Family Residential.
DAVE DERUWE, 517 First Avenue, stated that if the Land Use Plan designation
remained Urban Residential, the older single-family homes would slowly be replaced with multi-
family housing. He stated that many of the property owners bought homes in area because of the
single-family residential character.
TOM OSBORNE, 102 Madison, opposed the neighborhood being rezoned to Urban
Residential because it would generate additional vehicle and pedestrian traffic. He noted that since
there currently were no sidewalks in the area, this would present a serious safety hazard. He
encouraged the commission to re-examine the Land Use Plan designation.
NANCY OSBORNE, 102 Madison, stated that this was a quality of life issue. She
purchased her home because it was located in a quiet residential neighborhood. She requested that
the Commission amend the Land Use Plan for the area to single-family residential.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, opposed the area ever being rezoned to Urban
Residential.
DON CRIPPS, 426 strongly opposed changing the character of the area from single-
family residential.
CAROL GRIZW ALD, 412 First Avenue, requested that the Urban Residential Land Use
Plan designation be amended to ensure that the area remains single-family residential.
PAT ROWE, 327 Second Avenue, supported amending the Land Use Plan designation
from UR to Rl to preserve the single-family residential character of the area. She noted that
keeping the area zoned Rl would assist in providing affordable housing. She added that the older
homes along First and Second A venue were an important part of Seward's history.

Kincheloe expressed concern that the facility's exterior design was different from that
which the Commission approved. She urged the Seward Association for the Advancement of
Marine Science (SAAMS) to adhere to the approved design.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS NOT SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC
HEARING
BRENT WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, stated that a request to amend the Land Use
Plan for the area along First and Second A venue from Urban Residential to Single Family
Residential had been submitted to the administration.
ELSIE WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, discussed previous city zoning laws. She stated
that after a commercial use along First and Second A venue ceased, the property should only be
used as a single-family residence. She discouraged allowing parking between residences.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, read a letter which he had submitted to the
Commission. He expressed his continued opposition to rezoning any additional property along
First and Second Avenue to Urban Residential.
TOM OSBORNE, 102 Madison, stated that the majority of property owners along First
and Second Avenue wanted the area to remain zoned Single-Family Residential. He stated that,
based on Seward I s growth history, he did not believe the population of Seward was going to
increase so much to require multi-family dwellings in the area along First and Second Avenue.
NANCY OSBORNE, 102 Madison, objected to the Commission granting permits for any
use along First and Second Avenue that was not compatible with the single-family neighborhood.
RON BERKLEY, 320 Second Avenue, opposed allowing a higher density of residences
along Second Avenue. He stated that the Major Marine Tours bunkhouse was located next door
to his residence. He stated that the loud music from the bunkhouse prevented him from opening
his windows. He added that the bunkhouse had commercial coolers outside which also created
noise and affected his utilities. He concluded that the property was being used for commercial
purposes in a residential neighborhood.
DAVE DERUWE, 517 First Avenue, stated that the Land Use Plan was developed as a
guide for the Commission. He added that the Urban Residential designation allowed uses that
were not compatible with the single-family neighborhood along First and Second Avenue.
SHARYL SEESE, 537 First Avenue, agreed with all the previous citizen comments. She
stated that she liked the quiet residential neighborhood along First and Second A venue and wanted
it to remain that way.
MARK ANDERSON, 333 First Avenue, concurred with all previous public comments.
He stated that the current issues along First and Second A venue were due in part to a lack of city

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Request for an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit, issued on Septem-
ber 23, 1994, for the construction and operation ofthe Alaska SeaLife Center,
to delete conditions number eight and ten, as requested by the Seward
Association for the Advancement of Marine Science (SAAMS)
Martin reviewed the findings of fact discussed in the staff report. He stated that staff
recommended deleting the condition which required public drinking fountains in the plaza area.
He added that the administration further recommended amending condition number ten to require
that only on-site electric utilities be placed underground and delete the requirement that the
overhead power lines along Railway Avenue be placed underground.
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
CAROL CHAUDIERE, 1129 Cliff View Place, stated that SAAMS agreed to
underground the off-site electric lines when the permit was granted. She questioned why the
overhead electric lines were not placed underground when Railway A venue was excavated for the
project water and sewer lines. She noted that the existing power lines and poles were not
identified on the facility display model.
STU CLARKE, 1129 Cliff View Place, agreed with Chaudiere's comments. He
questioned if the project contingency funds could be used to bury the electric lines. He stated that
the fact that no other conditional use permits were required to bury off-site electric lines, as
identified in the staff report, was not relevant to this case.
MAUREEN SIMS, Leif Selkregg Associates, stated that the project Environmental Impact
Study did not identify any concerns with cultural resources in the area of the project site. She
noted that based on that study, the project had not anticipated the extent of the archaeological
monitoring, testing and associated costs. She stated that SAAMS was requesting the deletion of
the requirement to place the overhead electric lines along Railway A venue underground because
of the estimated $250,000 cost and the potential risk to archaeological resources.
No one else requested to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.
Niebrugge noted a possible conflict of interest due to his wife's employment with SAAMS.
Bardarson rules that no conflict of interest existed. There was no objection from the Commission.
MOTION (Niebrugge/Castellina)
Direct the administration to prepare a
resolution amending the Conditional Use
Permit, issued on September 23, 1994 to
SAAMS, by deleting Condition Number 8

Castellina stated that the amendment presented a compromise for both the City and
SAAMS.
Kincheloe objected to the proposed amendment. She supported requiring the project to
place the overhead lines underground along the entire project site.
Niebrugge supported the amendment. He stated that the area beyond the alley between

the Commission granted the original permit had not changed to warrant removal or amendment
of the original condition.

3. Possible outdoor lighting and outdoor activities would negatively affect the
surrounding neighbors.
Niebrugge expressed concern over receiving the alternate site plans right before the
meeting. He supported postponing action on the motion until after the administration and
commission reviewed the plans.
MOTION (Bardarson/Castellina)
Amend by adding a condition number 10
to require that a complete set of plans,
including elevations and exterior design, be
submitted for Commission review and
approval, prior to construction.
Motion Passed.
Unanimous
Kincheloe stated that the conditions required to approve the permit had not been met by
the applicant. She discussed the following findings:
1. The project would not serve to lessen congestion on streets and highways, but
would attract pedestrian and vehicle traffic to a location adjacent to a single-family
residential area. Residents have voiced a desire for the area to remain a low-
density residential neighborhood and to only allow uses that are compatible with
the residential character. The citizens have further expressed that they do not want
to permit uses specifically designed to draw people to the area.
2. The proposed use was in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan which states that
the community does not have an adequate facility to meet the indoor recreation
needs of the youth, however, the proposed site was not an appropriate location for
a youth center/church.
3. The public has testified that, they believe the value of adjoining property will be
significantly impaired by the construction and operation of the proposed facility.
VOTE ON RESOLUTION NO. 96-19 AS AMENDED
Motion Failed.

RECESS: The meeting recessed at 10:50 p.m. An adjourned meeting was scheduled for 7:00

uses allowed in the Urban Residential (UR) District, such as a house rental on a nightly basis and
an office, that he did not want allowed next to his residence. He proposed that the Commission
recommend against the requested rezone and recommend that the Council amend the Land Use
Plan for the area along First and Second Avenue to Single-Family Residential.
TOM OSBORNE, 102 Madison, concurred with the previous testimony. He stated that
the Land Use Plan needed to be reviewed prior to action on the proposed rezone. He stated that
most of the surrounding residents did not object to the existing uses, however they opposed
allowing additional uses that were not single-family residences.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, stated that he was adamantly opposed to any of the
property along First and Second Avenue being rezoned from Rl to UR. He stated that about 66%
of the property owners in the area had signed a petition to amend the Land Use Plan from Urban
Residential to Single-Family Residential.
ELSIE WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, opposed the proposed rezone. She stated that
the area along First and Second A venue was not moving toward a higher density of residential
uses.
SHARYL SEESE, 537 First Avenue, stated that she did not object to any of the existing
uses, but did not support allowing four-plexes in the area.
PAUL VOS, 216 Second Avenue, supported the area along First and Second Avenue
remaining single-family residential. He stated that single-family residences can be constructed
on a single 30xlOO foot Original Townsite lot.
JIM MCCRACKEN, Lowell Point, stated that he owned property in the city and
supported the proposed rezone to UR.
No one else requested to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION (Skibeness/Niebrugge)
Recommend that the City Council Amend
the Zoning of Lot 25, Marathon Addition,
located at 521 First Avenue, to Urban
Residential as requested by Alfred Mor-
gan.
Skibeness stated that the Land Use Plan was a binding document which was developed to
guide zoning and the land use regulations system. She noted that one of the responsibilities of the
Commission was to review the Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis and that action had not
been accomplished. She recommended postponing action on the rezone application until the
Commission had an opportunity to review the Comprehensive Plan.

Bardarson stated that the application would serve to bring the zoning into conformance
with the existing Land Use Plan.
Yanez stated that it was the responsibility of the Commission to forward a recommendation
to the Council. In the interest of due process, he encouraged the Commission to vote on the
proposal.
VOTE ON MOTION TO POSTPONE
Motion Passed.
YES: Castellina, Kincheloe, Skibeness
NO: Bardarson, Niebrugge
Recommending that the City Council Amend the Zoning of Lots 4, 5, 13, 14,
29, 30 & 31, Block 13, and Lots 29 & 30, Block 14, Original Townsite of
Seward to Urban Residential as requested by the property owners
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
BRENT WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, objected to the proposed rezone. He stated
that there was a significant difference between the Rl and UR districts. He noted that the city had
failed to review the Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis.
ELSIE WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, read excerpts from recent Seward Phoenix Log
regarding police reports from multi-family residences. She stated that high density residential
areas created problems.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, supported postponing action on the requested rezone.
He noted that a majority of the property owners along First and Second A venue wanted the area
to remain zoned Rl.
PAT ROWE, 327 Second Avenue, read a letter opposing the proposed rezone from
Margaret Testarmata, owner of a single-family residence at 321 Second Avenue.
STEVE LEMME, 331 Second Avenue, predicted that construction of the Alaska SeaLife
Center would result in community development which the Commission was going to have to
respond to.
LUCKY WILSON, 315 Second Avenue, stated that he applied for the rezone because he
was interested in purchasing the property adjacent to his residence in order to prevent the
construction of an apartment building. He added that he supported the neighborhood remaining
as it was.
PAUL VOS, 216 Second Avenue, spoke in opposition to the requested rezone.

Motion Passed.
YES: Castellina, Kincheloe, Skibeness
NO: Bardarson, Niebrugge
MOTION (Niebrugge/Bardarson)
Reconsider action on Resolution No. 96-19.
Martin stated that adequate findings of fact had not been established by the Commission
to deny the Conditional Use Permit. In response to a question from Skibeness, Martin stated that
although a commercial recreation facility was not allowed in the UR district, the proposed use was
not considered a commercial operation.
Motion Passed.
YES: Bardarson, Kincheloe, Niebrugge
NO: Castellina, Skibeness
Kincheloe stated that although a church and youth center were both allowed in the Urban
Residential Zoning District, a commercial recreation center was not. She noted that the
applicant's description of the proposed use as similar to a YMCA, appeared to meet the definition
of a recreation center regardless of its commercial or non-profit status. She stated that, according
to the petitioner, the proposed facility would be open primarily during the late afternoon, evening
and weekends when children were not in school and that outdoor activities would be conducted
on the property. She stated that the proposed use was not compatible with the surrounding
residential neighborhood because such a facility was designed to draw people to the area. She
professed that a single-family residence would be easier to mitigate than the proposed youth
center/church.
MOTION (Skibeness/Niebrugge)
Postpone action on Resolution No. 96-19
until the January meeting.
Niebrugge stated that he supported the motion in the interest of fairness to the applicant
and those who testified at the public hearing. He noted that postponing action would provide all
interested parties with the opportunity to be present when the commission made its decision.
Motion Passed.
YES: Castellina, Kincheloe, Niebrugge,
Skibeness
NO: Bardarson
Recommending amendments to Titles 15 and 16 of the Seward City Code, to
require posting public hearing notices on affected property for Conditional Use
and Variance Permits, Land Use Plan and Zoning Amendments and prelimi-
nary plat reviews
Notice of public hearing as posted and published as required by law was noted, and the
public hearing was opened.
BRENT WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, supported the proposed ordinance.

COMMISSION COMMENTS
SKIBENESS requested that the Commission review the Comprehensive Plan at the
January meeting.
KINCHELOE stated that Commission was attempting to look at all sides of every issue
including the code requirements, plan recommendations and public testimony. She requested that
the administration provide the Commission with training on defining findings of fact.
CASTELLINA requested clarification on what constitutes a finding of fact. She noted that
there were almost as many families living in multi-family dwellings as were living in single-family
dwellings along First and Second A venue and Lowell Canyon Road.
BARDARSON stated that the existing Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Maps were
approved documents that had gone through public work sessions. He expressed his disappoint-
ment that the Commission had not acted in accordance with those plans. He requested that
Commissioners make their amendments as brief and understandable as possible. He stated that
the Commission was going to have to take action on some controversial issues and there was no
answer that would satisfy everyone.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS
STU CLARK, 1129 Cliff View Place, stated that according to the Comprehensive Plan,
the Land Use Plan was a binding document. He noted that the plans should reflect the concerns
and needs of the citizens.
ELSIE WHITMORE, 306 First Avenue, stated that she had lived in Seward a long time
and cared about its development. She encouraged the Commission to not allow themselves to be
pushed into decisions that did not reflect the voice of the majority.
BRENT WHITMORE, 306 First A venue, responded to Castellina' s statement regarding
multi-family units along First and Second Avenue and Lowell Canyon Road, by noting that those
areas were already zoned UR.
ALEX RULE, 700 Second Avenue, stated that the 89 families living in multi-family
dwellings were probably not property owners.
