Glenz noted that several members of the community had presented a request to lease 12 acres
of City land in the Industrial Zoning District to operate a racetrack. She noted that the current Land
Uses Allowed table did not allow a racetrack within the City limits; therefore an amendment to the
City code was required to allow the requested use. Resolution 2004-20 had been presented to the
Commission at the December 7, 2004 meeting. The Commission had amended the Resolution and
postponed action until after a work session with the applicants on January 18, 2005. Glenz stated
that during the work session held with the applicants the Commission had prepared draft definitions
for Motorized Vehicles and Racetrack. The Commission also had drafted development requirements
for racetracks as a Conditional Use in the Industrial District. She affirmed that staff had incorporated
the requested changes to Ordinance 2005-xx and had presented it to the Commission for review and
approval. Glenz noted that the motion to approve Resolution 2004-20, as amended was currently on
the floor by Smith and Seconded by Roach'.
Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Jerry Dixon, outside the city. He reviewed the history of work he had been involved with for
the cleanup of the Fourth of July beach. He cited lack of available law enforcement due to limited
man power. He voiced strong opposition to the request to allow racetracks within the City limits.
Craig Turnbull, outside the city. Spoke before the Commission as a private citizen and not
as the administrator of the Spring Creek Correction Facility. He voiced concerns for safety and
security in proximity of the maximum security prison. He noted that the prison was located in an area
away from the public, to be inconspicuous. He stated that a racetrack could attract a large number of
citizens to the area. Turnbull voiced strong concerns against allowing a racetrack in the Industrial
District at the Seward Marine Industrial Center.
No one else requested to be heard and the public hearing was closed.
Keil read the recommended minimum conditions from the January 18, 2005 work session.
Griswold reminded the Commission and the public that the current issue was to allow a
racetrack as a Conditional Use in the entire Industrial Zoning District. She stated that the area
currently zoned Industrial was a very large area which included not just the area a Seward Marine
Industrial Center (SMIC) but also the entire Alaska Railroad and the Leirer Industrial areas north of
Port Avenue out to include the Seward Airport. She also noted there was a large area of industrial
land off of Nash Road, near the head of Resurrection Bay.

audience until the issue was completed.
Brown reviewed the area of the proposed rezone on the visual aid maps provided for the
public and the Commission. He stated that the Japanese Creek dike was the west boundary and the
section line was the east boundary. He reviewed the primary differences between the Single Family
zoning and the Rural Residential zoning districts. Brown stated that administration supported the
approval of Resolution 2005-03 recommending the rezone and the amendment to the Land Use PIan.

vacation of the unused utility easement on the same westerly property line. Brown stated that due to
the topography ofthe land the public utilities had been placed in the Hulm Circle right-of-way and the
panhandle portion oflot 19. The applicant had granted utility easements to the utility corridors over
the panhandle portion of lot 19 which covered all current utilities to the Dieckgaeff Subdivision.
Commissioner Schafer requested clarification on the existing 40 foot right-of-way (ROW) for
Hulm Lane. He noted that City code requires a minimum 50' ROW.
Staff noted that the surveyor had submitted a letter of explanation, which was included on
page 11 ofthe packet. The surveyor had explained that the ROW width of 40 feet had been accepted
by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission and granted an exception on the original subdivision
plat by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Platting Commission because of the 1) terrain limits for
developable ROW area; 2) Hulm Circle directly abuts Hulm Lane; 3) Seward Fire Chief
recommended approval of the 40 foot ROW; and 4) the proposed dedication matches that of the
ROW to the south.
Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened. No one requested to be heard and the public hearing was closed.

pBFt!hase by CaF61and Wade Robert~ of the City owned TFaet D, FOBrth of
JBIy Creek SBbdivision No.2 [Pulled from the agenda by staft]
HoW had placed the item back on the agenda for discussion. She requested a report from staff
as to the progress with this issue.
Brown stated that staffhad to prioritize the time available. He reviewed that the Community
Development office had received four (4) very involved Conditional Use Permits and a Subdivision
replat to schedule on the current agenda. He prioritized the workload by the fact that the properties
involved were currently owned by the private individuals and deemed it unfair to delay action for
properties of private ownership. He also noted that continued staff time had been required for the
review of the five (5) properties requested for the racetrack and for the review of the current CUP for
the New Harbor Hotel; both of which were on the schedule before the Roberts request. He stated
that with the daily activities of the office and the agenda for the current meeting the Community
Development Office simply ran out of time.

leased, and what conditions should be attached to the unlisted use? He noted that staffhad received
numerous citizens' comments both in support and opposed to the racetrack
Keil requested a verbal recount ofthe comments from the City attorney on the unlisted use.
Brown said the question had been "How similar was the unlisted use to a Conditional Use Permit."
He read the criteria that was currently listed under Section 2 of the Resolution. "The use is not
specifically permitted in any other district; The use is not more appropriate in another district; and
The use is consistent with the purpose ofthe district in question, and is similar to other uses permitted
outright."
HoW requested a verbal recount of the comments from the City attorney on the Commissions
recommendation to amend the City Code to allow a racetrack within the Institutional Zoning District
as a Conditional Use. Brown stated that the recommendation from the attorney had been to rescind
the resolution making that recommendation because of conflicting issues within the City Code.
Brown stated he planned to bring that recommendation forward to the Commission at a later date.
Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Jerry Dixon, outside the City. He spoke strongly against the racetrack being allowed in the
SMIC area. He noted that he had previously submitted photos ofthe area showing other recreational
damage. He voiced concern for the lack of enforcement currently available and if more people were
encouraged to the area the need for more enforcement would increase. He voiced concern for the
possible increase in ATV's using the beach and restricted areas.
Greg Swanson, outside the City, spoke representing the Seward Ship Dry Dock. He stated
that the Dry Dock supported the concept of the racetrack and felt it would be an asset to the
community. However he spoke strongly against the location of the proposed racetrack. He noted
that the only direction for the ship lift rails to expand was to the east. The Dry Dock recommended
the racetrack be located north of the east/west boundary of the ship lift and urged the Commission to
not approve the Resolution 2005-13.
Allen McCarthy, inside the City. Thanked the Commission for the work that had been done
on this proposal. He noted that the purpose ofthe Racing Lions was to provide adult supervision and
leadership to teach riding responsibly. He stated that the Racing Lions would be doing policing ofthe
area because it was the Lions reputation that was at stake. He addressed the environmental issues of
oil and fuel.
Craig Turnbull, outside of the City. Spoke as the Superintendent of Spring Creek
Correctional Center (SCCC). He stated that SCCC strongly supported the Racing Lions. He noted
both personally and professionally he supported the racetrack and everything the Racing Lions stood
for. He just was not in support of the location. He stated the fence was three tenth of a mile from the

allowing them to race on a dirt track that might stir up possible contaminants. She felt it was
irresponsible to encourage children into an industrial zone with possible pollutants.
Motion (Hohl/Griswold)
Suspend the rules to ask a question of the
Seward Racing Lions
Motion Passed
Unanimous Consent
HoW stated that the resolution stated that unlicensed vehicles were to be trailered to and from
the racetrack. The Racing Lions had stated that the intent was for all vehicles to be trailered to and
from the track.
Keil noted that it was the attorney's opinion that the Commission was unable to restrict legally
licensed vehicles from being on the road.
HoW disagreed, noting the Lion Club could simply not allow untrailered vehicles to race and
felt that the restriction should be part of the conditions.
Motion (Hohl/Smith)
Amend Resolution 2005-13 Section 3, item
(e). remove the word "unlicensed".

responsible use of the racing vehicles and help to get them out of the river beds.

10 minute recess of the Commission
Resolution 2005-14, recommending a status for disposal ofland owned by the
City, which has a leglll ~escription of Tract H, Fourth of .fuly Creek Subdivision
No.2
Brown reviewed the request to the City to purchase a portion of Tract H by Carol and Wade
Roberts. The applicant had purchased Lot 2, U.S. Survey 3294. Lot 2 currently did not have access
to Nash Road. He explained that two options were before the Commission. Brown noted that one
option was to allow an access easement across City owned Tract H in return for public access to the
beach across the Roberts Lot 2. Another option was to sell the portion of Tract H directly east ofthe
Lot 2 property. Brown stated that with the option of selling the property staff recommended the
property go through the Request for Proposal (RFP).
Brown continued by reviewing the concerns from the utilities, fire department and other City
staff. He noted that other City departments had done a very preliminary reviews and a cost projection
was not available. He stated a few of the initial concerns by staff were emergency access to the
property, possible future widening of Nash Road, electric transmission line clearance and cost
involved to provide service.
In response to Griswold's request for information on the width of the Nash Road Right-of-
Way and how additional road right-of-way easement could affect the property, W.e. Casey Public
Works Director stated that without a survey that showed exactly where the current right-of-way was
located he had no way of answering that question.
In response to HoW Brown noted that staff currently did not have a plat the showed the utility
easements or right-of-way lines on the City owned Tract H.

asphalt plant and gravel operations at Tract C Fourth of July Creek Tracts,
commonly known as the "City Quarry"
[Postponed from the May 4, 2005 meeting and the May 17, 2005 Special

business. Chair ruled that Commissioner Schafer had a conflict and he removed himself from the
dais to take a seat in the audience until the issue was completed.
Brown reviewed the history of Resolution 2005-12. He noted that the resolution was
currently on the floor for adoption and had been postponed from the May 4, 2005 regular meeting
and rescheduled following the May 17,2005 special meeting canceled for lack of a quorum. Brown
stated the City owned quarry was located on an approximate 60-acre parcel of City owned land
within the Fourth of July Subdivision. He reviewed the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application
stating that the applicant had applied for a CUP to allow gravel operation and the ability to allow an
asphalt contractor to set-up and operate an asphalt plant within the City quarry. Brown reviewed the
conditions contained in the CUP.
Brown reviewed the Historic Borough Flood map displayed on the wall. He noted that the
quarry was not within the mapped FEMA flood map.

Borough Flood map.

Resolution 2005-16 rescinding Resolution 2004-20, allowing a Racetrack in the
Institutional Zoning District by CUP
Brown noted that Resolution 2004-20, as amended, had been brought forward and approved
at the February 2005 regular meeting. Resolution 2004-20, as amended had recommended an
Ordinance change to Council to allow "racetrack" in the Institutional Zoning District by Conditional
Use Permit. Resolution 2004-20, as amended and the accompanying ordinance were sent to the City
attorney for review prior to forwarding to Council. The review revealed numerous conflicts with the
Seward City Code, therefore staff and the City attorney recommended Resolution 2004-20, as
amended be rescinded and that a different course of action be taken to deal with allowing "racetrack"
within the City limits.

Presentation by Gary Williams of the Coastal Zone Management
Gary Williams presented an overview of the Coastal Zone Management program. He noted
that Alaska joined the program in 1997. The purpose of Coastal Zone Management was to help
minimize resource conflicts, help communities maintain their uniqueness and their economic base,
and to help maintain the health of the coastal areas. The State manages the plan for the Federal
government. Williams noted that the Costal Zone Management team was currently updating the
plan. He encouraged the local community to review and provide input for the plan. The current time
line was to have the draft completed by the end of August 2005, public review during September
2005, present to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission in late October or early
November 2005, presenting the document to the State early in 2006. The document will then be
presented to the Borough Assembly for adoption by ordinance.

Public Hearings
Resolution 2005-18, granting a sign ordinance variance to James Pruitt, dba
Gateway Texaco for a free standing sign of twenty-eight (28) feet in height
containing 73.25 square foot ofinternally illuminated panels at Lot 1, Block 10,
Seward Small Boat Harbor Subdivision, 1400 Seward Highway, in the HC
(Harbor Commercial) zoning district.
Brown stated that the free standing sign currently operated by the Gateway Texaco was
encroaching into the Department of Transportation (DOT) Right-of-Way. DOT had notified the
applicant that the sign had to be removed. Brown noted that the sign was placed on the property
prior to 1985. The applicant had requested a Sign Code Variance to allow the pre-existing sign to be
moved out of the DOT Right-of-Way and onto his lease property. The pre-existing sign was 28 feet
in height and contained 73.25 square feet of internally illuminated signage. Brown reviewed the
current sign code stating that the maximum allowed height was twenty (20) feet or the height of the
building whichever was less and the maximum allowed internally illuminated free standing signage
was thirty two (32) square feet. Brown stated that the recommendation of staff was to lower the
current free standing sign to twenty feet and allow the requested 73.25 square feet of illuminated
signage. He noted that two other sign code variances had been issued in the past for fuel stations in
the Auto Commercial Zoning District with similar height and size requirements.
In response to HoW, Brown stated that the applicant had applied for a sign code permit,
which had been what prompted the request for the sign code variance application. Brown stated that
staff continued to work with the applicant on the sign permit. Hohl also requested the site location
for the freestanding sign. Brown stated that the applicant had applied for a building permit for the
relocation of the sign noting the requested location had been in the utility easement. He continued by
stating that the applicant and the City staff had continued to work on the new location for the sign,
noting that the requested location within the utility easement had been denied.
In response to HoW, Brown stated that the platting action moving the north property line
south 10 feet to the original location had been completed in April of2005. Brown also stated that he
was unaware of any current discussion of a sidewalk on the north property line.

Commissioner Griswold stated that a critical piece of information was the Public Use
Easement. She noted that the easement had been referred to in the current packet as well as many
times in previous packets on the same parceL She stated that the plan for many years had been to
provide public access to the public boardwalk through that Public Use Easement. She voiced
concern that according to the applicant, the Public Use Easement had been removed from the lease
agreement.
Motion (Griswold/Hohl)
Suspend the rules to allow public comment
on the Public Use Easement.
Motion Passed
Unanimous Consent
Tanya Sandefur, inside the City, explained that the Public Use Easement had been placed on
the property by the Alaska Railroad in 1996 following a favorable arbitration agreement to provide
connection between Fourth Avenue and the future public boardwalk along the east side of the
property. She noted that at that time the plan was to landscape the twenty-five (25) foot Public Use
Easement with benches and shrubs to provide an inviting access to the public boardwalk. She noted
that she had requested but had not received comment from the Alaska Railroad on the continued
plans for the Public Use Easement.
In response to Keil, Sandefur stated that the Public Use Easement exists within the lease
agreements with the Alaska Railroad (ARR) however the ARR and the leaseholders were currently
working on platting the ARR property and the Public Use Easement was being discussed.
Back on the record
HoW noted she concurred with staff that the narrow sidewalk at the north end of the hotel
building was uninviting to the public and not what she felt the intent was for the connection from the
public boardwalk to Fourth Avenue.
Griswold dittoed the feelings expressed by HoW and staff.
Keil noted that she had accessed the public boardwalk by going through the hotel and did not
feel uncomfortable; she noted that she wanted the information from the ARR on the Public Use
Easement before making any recommendations on the connection.
Hohl stated that she felt the change of the location for the connection of the public boardwalk
to Fourth Avenue was a significant change and she felt it required a ruling by the Commission.
Roach' noted she had walked the area and felt like a trespasser when she was on the north
end of the building.

She suggested that the City apply for a sign variance to allow banners on the boardwalk. She noted
that it was inappropriate for the City to hang banners, not complying with the code while expecting
the public to comply by not hanging banners.
Griswold stated that the post office had recently displayed an illegal banner, noting that
banner signs were currently showing up everywhere.
Brown stated that the Community Development office had just held a meeting with the
Seward Phoenix Log regarding banner and political signs. It had been planned to provide
information and education to the public through a news article on these types of signs.

Citizens' Comments
Jim Pruitt, inside the City. Stated that the hotel (Holiday Inn Express) was ADA compliant.
He again wished to express to the Commission that the boardwalk was not a public boardwalk, he
requested that the Commission make that distinction.
Kevin Clark, inside the City. He supported the concept that changes to the site plan for the
hotel were "field changes" and should not require the Commissions review.
Tayna Sandefur, supported the recommendation to review the policy and procedures for the
appeal process. She requested that the Lease Policy and Procedures be added to the City Code so
that they were required to be followed for every lease.
Commission Comments
Griswold, requested that residents from outside the City be allowed to pump septic tanks into
the City system. She stated that business was currently being lost to out of town businesses.

conditions ofthe plat; however if the Commission did not feel the requirements of the plat had been
met then he recommended the Commission take the required action to assure the needed
requirements were addressed.
Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Mike Fretwell, Alaska Railroad Manager of Land Services. He stated that the plat as
presented had not shown many of the needed elements. He encouraged the Commission not move
forward until all the information was depicted on the plat. He requested that the plat show and
provide easements for all existing utilities and access to the existing Alaska Railroad parcels to the
east. Fretwell spoke strongly against the plat as presented.
James Pruitt, inside the City. Stated that he was the lease holder of the portion north ofthe
"J" Dock access. He reminded the Commission that when he had been before the Commission
requesting to lease the northern portion of the "sliver", the Commission had adamantly opposed any
development on the portion south of"J" Dock. The portion south of"J" Dock was recommended to
remain public parking. Spoke very strongly against the plat as presented.
(Note: To be sure there is no misinterpretation of Carter 's presentation a verbatim transcript has
been included)
Paul Carter, inside the City. Requested additional time. Carter stated "that he hoped the
Commission understands fully what is before them and the issues at hand. What is not up for
discussion is the building. The building and the site development plan have already been approved
by the City Council as was set forth in the executed lease. Additionally and most importantly to
understand the replat coming before the (you) our replat and not the Seward planning departments
replat. They have no right or authority to replat the land by themselves. It was unfortunate that we
were unable to meet with the Seward planning department to review the replat before it came to your
attention. I did request it and never heard anything from the planning department. We do not
approve of Mr. Brown's replat that is before you and feel that once again, because ofthis last minute
unnoticed changes to our replat, making our lot un-buildable. This seems to be a long term goal of
Mr. Brown. This is not only not in our best interest, but not in the City's best interest as well. Mr.
Brown appears to be attempting to erode our City lease.
(Note: The Chair requested Carter stop the personal attack on Brown)
We request our replat be approved as is or that our replat be approved with your recommendations
and forwarded to the Council. Mariner's Landing, LLC does not approve of section 2, in Mr.
Brown's letter, and will not abide by it or recognize it as a legally binding resolution without
Mariner's Landing final approval. What reasons I have drawn from the September 6, 2005 memo,
which is in your packet, from Mr. Brown and Mr. Corbridge regarding our lease. . . ., as well as our
own City lease provisions binding us, is not only to us but the City of Seward, for as long as these
discrepancies in the letter that even appear to be, to be misleading. They are statement 1). The land
to the East of us is land-locked; is absolutely false. The City pays, and has for years the Alaska
Railroad for permits that allows public access to the "J" dock ramp as well as provide for access to
the Railroad property East of our lot. If the planning department would enforce the City Code and

that it can be more easily moved than a gravity line so if the City wants a larger easement around the
line they will have to move it up Fourth Avenue without making our lot un-buildable. Also in
regards to the pressurized sewer main with regards to our lease, section 1.2 of our lease provides: the
convenient of (unable to understand tape) xxxxxxx enjoyment subject to the emcumberments as of
(unable to understand tape) hereof the lease and any reasonable restriction and impositions on the
City lease.
Note: time limit expired, applicant was requested to summarize and wrap it up.
Section 1.6 on the lease provided: platting in the event (unable to understand tape) the The City
agrees to include the leased land in such replat in accordance with the description prepared by the
lessee under Section 1.3 herein, and clearly the City has not met the obligation under discussion and
the planning department has submitted their own replat without input or description for you to
review. Finally 4.2 of our lease: The lessee shall develop the leased land in accordance with the site
development plan provided to you and approved by the City through the City Manager. The site
development plan is attached to the lease as exhibit C and why haven't you seen that. This is
something that has already been approved by the Council and already approved by the City Manager.
Why is that not before you? Section 5.3 of the lease provides, that easements may be granted or
dedicated over or within portions of the lease land only where such easements and dedications do not
interfere with the lessees operations and the cost of locating or relocating any public easement shall
be at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party. Clearly any action that makes our lot un-
buildable is unreasonable.
HoW requested clarification on the statement by Carter that he was not subdividing the land.
He stated "No, according to his attorney he was doing nothing more than putting a building on the
property, it is not subdividing the property." Hohl asked for clarification as to what was before the
Commission. Carter stated that it was a replat which was not a subdivision.
Gene Minden, inside the City, Owner of Chinooks Restaurant. He spoke to the access issues
of his property. He supported the drive through access that had been in place for many years. He
strongly supported the fire access lane be provided. He voiced concerns to the threat by Mariner's
Landing to close the access to his property come September 30,2005. Menden noted he had a 1993
letter from the City that acknowledged the connection route of the sewer lines to the sewer main.
Andy Mezarow, inside the City, encouraged the administration to make a decision on this
project and move on.
Brad Snowden, inside the City, requested that the Commission and the administration take
into consideration the history of the dealings the City has previously had with the applicant.
Tanya Sandefur, inside the City, supported postponement of the replat until such time as all
the questions and access issues were addressed. She supported the concerns of staff and the Alaska
Railroad. She noted that all utilities needed to be provided for by easement per Borough Code.
Sandefur voiced concerns regarding the applicant's threats to close access to properties to the East of

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 571
Smith supported the option of a work session. He noted that he did not support the plat
before the Commission as it was drawn. He requested that all the needed information and concerns
be available in a matrix format. All concerns need to be addressed.
Suspend the rules
Patrick Kelly, Alaska Railroad. Noted that the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning office had
supplied a list of requirements regarding this plat when the ARRC had submitted the replat of the
properties to the East. He noted that the list was a starting place for concerns.
Paul Carter, stated. "Part of the problem with what I am hearing you say is as we talked about a
this a subdivision or a replat. The reason I didn't agree with your term of subdivision is because the
City has already done it. With the site development plan they already approved. The plat that is
already signed and attached to the lease that has already been executed. So what I don't want to do is
. . . am I willing to sit down and talk about the issues? Sure I will do that but I not willing to reinvent
or rewrite the lease that we have already got. The site plan development, with the Council approval,
showing where the building is going, showing access. They have already addressed the sewer line
issue or they would not have sent the demand letter. Am I willing to talk about it again? You bet. I
know we don't have time to explain it all tonight, that's for sure. But that is the concerns that I have
that reinventing the wheel, or trying to re-write a lease or documents that we have already executed
with the City and have been paying on for two years. That is a concern that I have but I am certainly
willing to talk about all your issues and the related issues. We have already dealt with the City
Manager and the Council and we have an executed document. I don't want to go all the way back
and start bringing in parties that are not related to something we have already that the City has
already signed off on. What I don't want to see is this go on for months, we will not tolerate that.
We will take whatever remedy we have to. What you suggested two weeks before the next meeting,
that's reasonable, in my mind to lay it out. There are a lot of issues you don't know and haven't
gotten because this is the first time we have ever been able to speak, even during the appeal we
weren't granted the time to speak on our own behalf. Which ended up being appealed to Council,
which wasted a lot oftime and energy in going that direction. Ifwe can get one course of action that
will get it resolved and get some issues addressed then that is fine. If you will look at the site plan
that is already addressed a lot of your questions will already be answered. We have answered the fire
issue, we have met with Chief Squires and resolved it. Or we wouldn't have had a modular building
in the harbor. So the fire issues have been addressed. Whether it is a modular building or a
permanent building it is still a building. He is still concerned about fire. So those are just some of
the comments off the top of my head why can't we go back to subdivision versus replat? I know
exactly what you are saying but I also know exactly what the City has already done. Which is why I
disagree with you and our attorney disagrees with you.
HoW stated that the City does not have platting authority. Only the Borough does and it has
not gone before the Borough yet so it has not been subdivided, no matter what has been signed.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 573
Fretwell stated that the public use easement was changed to a building set back to ensure that
the Holiday Inn Hotel could never be added onto. He stated change was to protect the property to the
North leased by Sandefur from ever having a building blocking her property.
In response to Hohl, Fretwell stated that the lessee was not charged for the public boardwalk
or public use easement areas of the parcels.
Back on the rules
Roach' noted that during the public comment period at the August 9, 2005 meeting the
applicant had stated that he wished to express to the Commission that the boardwalk was not a public
boardwalk; and he requested that the Commission make that distinction. Roach' requested
clarification.
Hohl noted that Fretwell had clarified the boardwalk and any public use easements were open
to the public and not private as the applicant had stated.
Roach' stated that the current private sidewalk at the northern comer of the building was not
ADA compliant.
Motion (HohllRoach')
It was the intent of the Commission, when
the Conditional Use Permit was approved
to require a public boardwalk connecting
the harbor boardwalk to the Fourth
Avenue sidewalk at the northernmost
boundary ofthe property.
Hohl stated that she felt the developer and the ARR could work out how to provide a public
boardwalk.
Roach' stated she did not support the northernmost boundary since it was not written into the
condition. She noted that the boardwalk at the northern boundary was on the approved site plan.
Schafer and Smith supported allowing the developer and the ARRC the freedom to find a
way to provide a public use access for an ADA compliant sidewalk connecting the harbor boardwalk
to the Fourth A venue sidewalk.
Hohl withdrew her motion
Motion (Smith/Schafer)
Administration work with the developer
and the Alaska Railroad to develop an

Procedures topic was an unfinished business item that the Commission was waiting for staff to
provide a flow chart of what had been done in the past.
Brown requested clarification on what the Commission wanted on the flow chart. Hohl
stated that she felt the breakdown was at the end of the appeal procedures in the signing ofthe final
document.
Corbridge stated at the work session with Council and the Boards and Commissions he felt
the topic had been discussed and direction given that the appeal procedures were to be clarified and
reviewed into very clear and precise procedures. He requested that the Commission provide any
thoughts and/or guidance on the appeals procedure.
New Business
Discussion of Community Rating System Floodplain Management Plan (Draft)
Brown reviewed the point system for the Floodplain rating system. He noted that the system
was rated from 1 to 10 and the lower the number the better the rating. Seward was currently at a 9
rating which allowed a 5% discount on flood insurance.

Public Hearings
Resolutions Requiring a Public Hearing
Resolution 2005-22, recommending City Council and Kenai Peninsula
Borough approval of the Resubdivision of Lots 7 through 9, Block 17,
Federal Addition, Clark-Tougas Replat.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened. No one appeared to address the council and the public hearing was
closed.
Brown said this was a routine replat, and explained the details of the project and
recommended approval as submitted.
Hohl asked about the underlying land use plan, Brown did not recollect it.
Motion (Griswold/Strobel)
Approve Resolution 2005-22
Griswold was pleased that the commission was addressing encroachments and that the
owners were taking this step.
HoW said simple replats were not simple. Brown confirmed that the two buildings on the
plat were being used as homes, and not commercially. HoW wanted things like residential
coverage and parking areas to be addressed beforehand. The surveyor should be asked to verify
the coverage ratio and that there was parking, that it meets codes requirements for replatting and
whether they are legal non-conformity uses or not. Brown said the replat met the requirements
for parking and the buildings would fit for lot coverage.
Motion (Hohl/Griswold)
Amend Resolution 2005-22, add "staff,
surveyor, and property owner to verify
we are not creating non-conformity with
the subdivision".
Griswold said it was harder to look for items that were missing than it was to verify and
study items that were present. She asked for a checklist that would cover these topics for future
replats.
Motion Passed

City of Seward, Alaska
October 6 and 7, 2005
Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 583
Paul Carter said he was a strong proponent of the Mary Lowell Center. He and Tylan
Schrock had been very involved with this project for the last three years. The concept of a
conference center came to be after working with many different agencies. The vacation of
Washington Street was their number one choice. The center had potentially significant benefits
to the economy of Seward. The center would help promote year round employment and the
location was advantageous. The vacant buildings needed to be addressed, and the Mary Lowell
Center would help resolve some of these issues. It was a monumental decision, and Carter felt it
was important for both sides to speak their points of view. He urged the Commission not to take
this project out of the public process and requested approval of this resolution.
Kenai Fjords National Park Superintendent Jeff Mow introduced Regional Archaeologist
for the National Park Service Ted Burkdahl and Paul Schrooten, landscape architect for the
project. Mow reported on the history of the project, the public participation, the alternatives and
preferred alternatives, the design process and its importance, and the issue of loss or gain of
public use for the proposed street vacation. Mow showed a map of public participation and
project history. Much planning and public input was involved with this project. Mow spoke of
the Waterfront Plan, and how it involved the vacation of Washington Street and the "Town
Center" concept, which also called for the vacation.
Rules suspended by unanimous consent to allow Mr. Mow five more minutes to finish his
comments.
Mow continued to point out the different alternatives for the Center, factors that did and
did not support each alternative, and other elements of the options. The Center would have to
satisfy the pedestrian walkway required if Washington Street was vacated. Schematic designing
would begin later this month. Design elements were important because they helped define the
community's character. Technically, the vacation would provide another form of public visitor
use. It would be used as a conference center, visitor center, and have benefits to the local and
visiting public.
In response to questions, Mow said the Park Service did not believe the Solly's Building
met the progranunatic needs of the center. HoW asked if the Park and Forest Service were
planning on vacating their offices in the harbor and on Fourth Avenue and Mow confirmed they
were. Paul Schrooten said underground parking was discussed as a possibility and the decision
makers would include the Forest Service, the Park Service and the City of Seward at the
appropriate time. Mow clarified that Alternative 4, which was the Alternate Preferred
Alternative, did not require the vacation of Washington Street. A decision needed to be made for
a proper, expedient way to develop parking. Homeland security was a big issue and was being
addressed in this project.
John Eavis, representative of the Forest Service and of the Seward Ranger District,
introduced himself and clarified that the Forest Service was a part of this project as well. The
Park Service and city staff had been helpful with the Forest Service, and Eavis was open to
questions on the process, also. Eavis commented on the value this Center could bring to Seward.

City of Seward, Alaska
October 6 and 7, 2005
Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 585
Rick Blythe, spoke in favor of the resolution. Blythe said he knew very little about
zoning and procedures, but knew what he saw, which were empty store fronts, empty buildings,
closed restaurants, and buildings for sale. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Blythe
was concerned about this. This process had not been easy, and comments had been included
regarding vacating Washington Street. This should be a public policy in deciding if this was a
direction that the community wanted to go in. The commission had a very honorable and
noteworthy role in deciding this resolution.
Dale Lindsey, said the magnitude of this decision was large, and complimented the
commissioners on their work. The vacation of Washington Street was not an easy decision, but
very much a straightforward decision. Lindsey was in favor of vacating the street. He cared
about this community, but it didn't do any good to have so many derelict buildings. This was an
opportunity that may not resurface, and now was the time to make a decision. Lindsey said the
public input was good to see, regardless of the opinion on the decision. The Multi-Agency
Center could create more jobs, and the community needed as many year round jobs as it could
muster. The intersection was quirky, not understood by visitors and a public safety issue.
Kevin Clark, said his involvement in this project had resulted from his position as
council member. Clark said during this time he met Paul Carter and Tylan Schrock, who had put
much effort into the Center. He said the center needed to be in one building to be the most
economically viable. The project was at risk if the Mary Lowell Center was divided into two
buildings.
Carol Chaudiere, said the smaller the site the less interesting the f~ade and a larger
building provided more options. The vacation of Washington Street would give more options for
the design of the building and a better view of the waterfront. She supported this resolution.
Tom Tougas, spoke in favor of vacating Washington Street. He said the city had to
remember it must be a visitor's center for the Kenai Fjord National Park. To be able to walk
between this building and the Alaska Sealife Center was beneficial. The present visitor facility
in the harbor was inadequate and too small. The center would be in a more pedestrian friendly
area. Tougas was in favor of a single building and the vacation of Washington Street.
Wadeen Hepworth, said the history of Seward was important. The buildings in place
right now were unique and on historic land. Hepworth did not want to see another metal sided
building put up in place of the city's old buildings. She did not want to see the buildings tom
down, and urged the commission to save the history of the buildings and of Seward.
Terry Doane, said he had watched the city labor through many issues. Donan
commented the people of Seward were concerned and invested in its community. He
commended everyone participating on this issue. Donan spoke in favor of this resolution, but
wanted to congratulate and honor the work the citizens do for the city rather than speak on the
Issue.

changed and was not a problem. If the alley were bigger, it would be a good spot to put parked
tour busses, Squires thought. No parking on Railway and they may hit vehicles on Washington
Street.
Public Works Director W.C. Casey said this was just a footprint right now, and didn't
think it was such a good idea to get carried away with "what ifs" at this point. He would make
sure the main issues of Public Works would be handled and was confident in this.
Griswold said there wasn't a plat to look at, and it was really hard to know how it was
going to look. Commission was approving or not approving a concept, and not the platting,
which concerned her.
Hohl said a plat would still come before Planning and Zoning and it would be addressed
at a later time.
Motion (GriswoldIHohl)
Amend Resolution 2005-23, replace
"...that portion of Washington Street
which is between Fifth Avenue and the
East boundary of the alley which is
located 100 feet to the West of Fifth
Avenue..." with "...the East half of
Washington Street between 4th and 5th
Avenue, exclusive of the alley..." in the
Title and in Section 1.
Motion Passed
Unanimous
HoW noted a housekeeping amendment to change the wording "a representative" to
"representatives" in the third "Whereas."
Electric Utility Manager Tim Barnum stated electric service needed to be routed
around Washington Street. Barnum said most issues need not be addressed at this point.
Schafer said if the Commission voted no on this resolution, it didn't kill the project, but it
would put a crimp on Alternative 2A. He felt the presentation was not presented with all the
facts. Schafer did not think Alternative 2A was the most preferred alternative in his view, but
that the project was important to Seward. The traffic flow, handicap parking, and possible
overpass costs were not addressed. Schafer disliked scare tactics and suppositions. It would be
easier to keep the street, rather than to try and get it back 50 years down the road. He did not
support this resolution as put forth.
Roach' stated the Forest Service was an important, integral part of the community. To
Roach', part of the quality of life was holding on to Seward's history and the grid was a part of
Seward's history. Vacating part of Washington Street would essentially be vacating all of

Strobel said she received many comments and discussions from citizens. She felt very
open minded about this and had concerns. Strobel had trouble with not being told what was
going to happen. What Seward offered to people would keep them coming back, which was not
just scenery, but history as well. Strobel was still tom about this issue. She appreciated the
public input, and stated she was for the multi-purpose agency.
Keil referred to Frank Ballaine's dedication and vision of the future developments for
Seward. She did not think he would want Seward to stand still and not progress forward. He
would want to look towards progress and economic development. This facility would offer a lot
of jobs, and she felt it was in the public's interest to have this center built.
Schafer asked if they were voting the project up or down, Keil said they were voting on
the vacation of Washington Street.
Hohl stated if it wasn't for the significance of the project, this vacation would bear less
importance. Buildings were historically significant to the community, but she saw this as an
important project. She wished it didn't require the vacation of Washington Street.
Roach' said building the Center did not require the vacation of a street and another
alternative could be looked at.
Griswold said she would like to hear findings that it was in the public interest to vacate.
Alternative 4 did not include the vacation of Washington Street, but included the facility. She
didn't understand the comment that if Washington Street was not vacated, the center could not be
built.
Hohl said the findings of fact were in the "Whereas'" of the resolution.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 591
findings contained in the preceding
whereas statements, the Seward Planning
Commission approved the following
findings which support vacating the east
half of Washington Street between Fourth
and Fifth Avenues, exclusive of the alley,
and the associated utility easements"
Motion Passed
Unanimous
(Thefollowing motions were broughtforward asfindings in support of the eighth Whereas).
Motion (HohIlSmith)
Amend Resolution 2005-23; "Sufficient
rights-of-way exist to serve the
surrounding properties" as a finding of
fact.
Griswold was concerned with establishing "equal or superior" as stated in the Borough
code and felt the sufficient was not adequate. She did not believe there was equal or superior
right-of-way. Griswold expressed the concern that the entire road was being lost because there
was no turn around or exit and that traffic traveling East on Washington Street would be forced
to exit on an alley. The concerns of the Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Advisory Board
regarding the tsunami evacuation route needed to be addressed.
Keil disagreed with the concerns that the vacation would cause the loss of the street as
Fifth A venue and Railway Street would be access roads with the alleyway as a one-way
entrance.
Hohl felt that stating "sufficient" was adequate, based on her experience on the Borough
Planning Commission. She also stated that during the platting process the Borough would work
with the applicant on the parking and right-of-way issues to meet the requirements. Pedestrian
(East -West) access issues would also have to be satisfied, as required in the Borough Code.
Motion (Griswold/Schafer)
Amend the amendment; add "equal or
superior" in place of "sufficient". (This
motion would amend the motion on the
floor)
Griswold stated that the concern was for now and for the future, as the right-of-way
would be removed forever.
Motion Passed

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 597
Brown stated that Gary Williams of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Coastal Zone
Management had requested the participation of the Commission in an ongoing review of a
request for a permit from the Department of Natural Resources, The review was for loading and
storage of materials on the ARRC land North of A VTEC and East of Safeway, including the five
or six acre pond. Brown wanted to learn the Commission's preferences for involvement in the
reVIew process.
Griswold was concerned that the ARRC wanted to fill in the five acre pond with gravel
and coal. She stated that the ARRC had provided the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust with
$15,000 to purchase wetlands property(s) as a mitigation measure. She said the community had
put up with coal dust for a long time and the Safeway management told her they had problems
with coal dust both in the parking lot and in the store. She hoped the Clean Air and Water Act
would be applicable. Schafer stated the coal dust was acceptable due to the economic
advantages of having a coal shipment facility in the community and the involvement of the
Commission needed clarification.
Smith commented that the scope of work must be somewhat large, as the ARRC intended
on filling in the pond to make room.
HoW had concerns with the scope of the Commission's involvement and wanted to know
if it was within the Commission's authority to make recommendations to outside agencies, she
related that the Borough Planning Commission had made a recommendation which the Borough
Assembly later stated was outside the bounds of their involvement. Hohl was appalled that the
public notice would only be posted in three public places; she felt that more public notification
was needed,
Keil recommended hosting a Special Meeting to have a community forum for the ARRC,
the public and any other interested parties.
A special meeting was scheduled for October 13, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. Brown said he would
make the proper notifications.
Informational Items and Reports- (No action required)
Banners
Griswold stated that political signs were against code, off premises banners were illegal,
and the question to be asked was "do we want to enforce our Code?" The problem was that there
was no enforcement.
Procedure to Cancel a Meeting - brought forward by Lynn Hohl
[Postponed from the August 9 and September 6, 2005 meeting]
Hohl had concern with the July meeting cancellation. She said that meetings should not

files in boxes scattered around the basement. The scan process would begin with the new
scanner and it would be helpful to have a tech to control digital data.
HoW stated the list she had requested was not archived but should be available in the
planning department office. The request was made over a year ago and restated several times
smce.
A copy of the requirements for the "Conservation District" in the Homer City Code
Griswold spoke of resource conservation overlays and felt that if people felt secure that
the public green areas would remain, people would develop around them. Buffers should be
created around certain streams.
Schafer stated that trees around streams provide shade, which kept oxygen in the water.
Procedure to follow for adding items to the agenda
Brown noted that staff had not had the time to prepare that report. Hohl said the
procedures were identified and could be copied and presented.
"Assembly rejects code ordinance in raucous meeting", Fairbanks Daily News-Miner,
September 23, 2005
Hohl referred the Commissioners to the lay down article with the Fairbanks assembly
member asking for recordation at the next meeting. She noted the situation was interesting and
should be watched.
Reminder of October 17, 2005 5:30 training session with Mary Toll, KPB Platting Officer
Commission Comments
Strobel, referencing the vote for the vacation, said she was still skeptical but that
sometimes you needed to have faith. Information was so important and that she wished to say
thank you for all the emails and calls. She wanted to know what the city could do to stop the T-
shirt shops from coming in and taking advantage of the Mary Lowell Center economy.
Schafer, said he was going to sleep well that night and that his vote reflected his
concerns lJS a candidate for Council. He spoke of something which bothered him a great deal,
which was the intense lobbying by administration and Council. He considered it to be out of
place anp tasteless, such as during the break after the public comment period had been closed

representing those concerns. She went to the mini-valuation process as a skeptic as she had
previously been a Commissioner on the Historic Preservation Commission and had not initially
supported the vacation of Washington Street but had changed her perspective.
Commission and Administration response to citizens' comments
Smith, stated that he was perturbed about the lobbying which had taken place and that he
did not want it to happen again. He was concerned that Council had not given clear guidance.
Brown, stated the Commissioners should continuously study the Open Meetings Act.
Schafer, thanked Vesel for her apology to the Commission.
Hohl, stated that the night before during a break, she had been lobbied and when she
asked a member of the administration she was told that the contact was appropriate. She stated
that she later felt the contact may have been considered as ex-parte. She was concerned that the
Commission was supposed to follow Council and that our elected officials dropped the ball on
this one. Council did not attend meetings and Council did not make a firm recommendation in
the Commission's agenda packet.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 10:56 p.m.

Aaron Henderson, inside the City. Supported the Alaska Railroad request to fill the settling
pond. He stated the railroad provided jobs and any support for the operations of the railroad was
important.
Mary Bozza, outside the City. Spoke strongly against the filling of the settling pond. She
requested clarification on the original building of the pond and if it was allowed as a form of
mitigation.
Dave Squires, inside the City. Noted that the current pond was a man-made pond for the
settling of the coal dust. He stated that a very large amount of water, thousands and thousands of
gallons was used by the railroad to control spontaneous combustion fires within the coal storage area.
Squires questioned where the replacement pond was to be located. He voiced strong concerns of the
historic flooding in the area. He did not support any run off from the coal being allowed into
Resurrection Bay.

Review of the Alaska Railroad Corporation Revision of Intended Use at the
Coal Laydown Area
Gary Williams - Kenai Peninsula Borough Coastal Zone Management, stated the issue
before the Commission had to do with the modification of the previously issued Coastal Zone
Management Permit. The Alaska Railroad had requested the modification to increase the area of the
coal storage. He stated the permit had already been issued to the Alaska Railroad to fill in the
settling pond. He noted the issues of the coal dust and the run off were of great concern.
The Commission suggested that the application be reviewed on a page by page review.
Thereby Williams had information ready for the review process.
Page 1, found to be in order.
Page 2, Dept of Environmental Conservation Approvals, Item 2, sub item 3, was a yes
Item 1, run off water from the coal stockpile needed to be addressed

Resolution 2005-24, recommending City Council and the Kenai Peninsula
Borough approval of the Fourth of July Creek Subdivision Number 3, Roberts
Replat.
Brown stated the applicant owned the landlocked parcel to the west of the City owned Tract
H, Fourth of July Subdivision. The applicant had submitted a request to purchase the approximate
five (5) acres of the 28.4 acre Tract H located between the privately owned Lot 2 U.S. Survey 3294
and Nash Road. Brown noted that the applicant had requested the purchase to provide access to the
landlocked parcel and restrict other development. He stated that both Planning and Zoning and the
City Council had previously approved the sale of the approximate five acres. Brown recommended
the pedestrian access easements from Nash Road to the beach needed to be addressed. He stated that
the replat subdivision was a very irregular shape and covered a long distance between Nash Road and
the Resurrection Bay beach. He stated that the plat that was before the Commission did not note the
60 foot transmission line easement that was currently in place. He stated that staff supported the
replat subject to the following conditions:
1. A warranty deed shall be used to transfer the City of Seward's interest in the portion
of Tract H which is being transferred to the applicants.

In response to questions by the Commission, Brown stated he had no feedback on the Coastal
Zone Management master plan. He emphasized the Long Term Care Facility was homes for elders
that were staffed with some assisted living. The concept was to move away from the traditional
"institutional nursing home atmosphere." Brown explained it was his understanding that nursing
care was a need for most of the residents, and once they were eligible to move in, they stayed for the
duration.
City Manager Clark Corbridge noted the strict timeline to complete this project and agreed
the public was to be kept apprised of the plans on the Long Term Care Facility. He disagreed with
the public concerns that there would be less nursing care.
Brown reported one portion of the land was zoned institutional, and the southern portion of
the park would require re-zoning. He agreed there was re-platting and a conditional use permit also
needed.
KPB Planning Commission Report. Lynn Hohl stated the Seward Comprehensive Plan
passed along with the vacation of Washington Street. She thought this decision could still be
appealed. The plat for the paving of Bear Lake Road received administrative approval. There would
be a draft available about January 9th on the maintenance and dredging of the Railroad dock which
was being reviewed. A subdivision was approved in the Salmon Creek flood plain that bordered the
railroad, subject to comments by Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Board. HoW stated Elhard re-
plat was approved in the Bear Lake Subdivision along with final approval of the Federal addition to
the Orr re-plat.
City Planner Malcolm Brown established that A VTEC would be expanding to add a long
distance training structure to the south of their existing building which would need title agent review.
Other Reports, Announcements and Presentations.
Liaison from Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Area Board. - No one was present.
Citizens' comments on any subject except those items scheduled for public hearing.
Charles McEldowney, gave the commission a heads up that Seward Fisheries was planning
to build another bunkhouse this spring, which would require a conditional use permit. This would
provide more housing for seasonal employees and an alternative to the tent living that now existed.
The proposal was for a three story building that included sleeping quarters on the top two levels, with
the ground quarters being a bathhouse, laundry, and improved cook house. McEldowney stated it
was zoned Industrial with three bunkhouses already in the area. There was power, sewer and water
in the area. They had spoken with the owner ofthe two lots, Steve Leirer who agreed to the required
vacation of an interior lot line and a 30-year lease was currently in place.
McEldowney articulated the timeline with architectural drawings by the end of December, to
bid in January, construction to begin in the spring, with occupancy by 2007. The bunkhouse was to

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5, Page 621
In response to Hohl, Brown thought this expansion would come back to the CUP process.
Corbridge stated there were a lot of gaps in the records that needed to be filled in on the city
end and Schrock indicated it might be possible for the Sealife Center to obtain an as-built of the site
incorporating the foot print of the structures.
Rick Blythe, Director of the Alaska Sealife Center Visitor Services, thought Tylan stated all
that was needed and would be available for any additional comments.
Darryl Schaefermeyer, General Manager Alaska Sealife Center, stated the Sealife Center
had good communication and great cooperation with the city staff. He reiterated they enjoyed their
unique relationship. He also reminded the Sealife Center paid a very substantial utility bill, offered
PIL T, and was a great economic engine for the community. This lease would allow the Sealife
Center to expand their payroll and continue the growth.
Jeff Mow, Superintendent of Kenai Fjords National Park, updated the commission on the
plans of the Mary Lowell Center partnership. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission
approved the petition to vacate Washington Street. They were proceeding with schematic design to
answer questions. Visuals on actual elevations of the building should be completed next week.
Mow stated an advisory committee, appointed by the Mayor, with seven members was established,
and would meet Thursday at noon to organize and look at six focus areas. They are:
~ appearance of the building.
~ how to comply with vacation requirements.
~ use of public art in the building.
~ design oflobby area and how it interpreted the Solly's area and streets.
~ compliance with ADA.
~ conference function.

Planning Commission Minutes
Volume 5. Page 623
Informational items and reports
Neighbors hope to derail radioactive isotope plans. Anchorage Daily News article written by
Rosemary Shinohara and submitted by Lynn HoW.
Council comments
Roach and Griswold thanked the Sealife Center for their presentation, and were sorry
Commissioner Sue Banas could not attend.
Strobel thanked Charles McEldowney for coming in and thought the bunkhouse was a great
idea long overdue. She also was very appreciative of the Sealife Center and thought it was a great
educational facility.
Hohl expressed her love of the Sealife Center and was excited to begin work on their project.
She still had the shovel her daughter used in the groundbreaking.
Smith thanked both the Sealife Center and Seward Fisheries for corning in early and advising
of their upcoming projects.
Keil also was excited about the Sealife Center's project and hoped it would not take as long
as the racetrack to get underway. She pointed out there were limits to people's patience.
Citizens' comments
Tylan Schrock, appreciated the Commission listening and hoped they understood the spirit
and intent of their project. He thought he may have thrown the Administration a curve ball but
hoped he gave the Commission a broad scope of the project, even if it may have to be segmented.
Schrock responded to concerns of competing with private enterprise and assured the Sealife Center
took the relationships of the community businesses very seriously. Even though there were some
aspects of competition with private enterprise, they hoped to focus on a certain niche market. The
Sealife Center would be looking for a smaller dollar amount, shorter time frames, possibly children
who could not afford a boat trip, and smaller groups, and he felt they would not be competing with
the mass market of the tour boats.
Council and administration response to citizens' comments
Brown was not opposed to any curve balls thrown as long as they were in the strike zone. He
loved sports.
Strobel was appreciative of the dollar value for educatjonal programs.
Smith wanted the CUP items identified on the Sealife Center.
