TO: Vice-Mayor and Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Focs'le Zoning
DATE: June 22, 1970
I have reviewed the Focs'le Zoning and find that it is in
violation of the current and proposed zoning regulations.
It is the opinion of the City Attorney that the City Manager
cannot authorize the occupancy of any structure committed to a use not
permitted by the City's applicable Ordinance.
The Ordinance
residential) district.
an occupancy either.
prohibits a restuarant in the R-l(single family
The proposed Ordinance does not provide for such
In my opinion the implied violation often results from a change
in administration in City offices and creates the possibilities of a use
not permitted under the City's current regulations. It is my feeling that
the City Council should not attempt to enforce its zoning regulations on
a retroactive basis and in this case should not attempt to close the facility
on the basis of a possible zoning violation.
The Council should direct the administration to prohibit additional
construction until and unless a r&eoning is obtained by the owner and/or
operator of the establishment.
The letter of complaint submitted by Mrs. Lawrence Whitmore has
been noted in the City's files and a copy of this report will also be
included therein. Should Mrs. Whitmore feel this is not an appropriate
solution to her complaint, it would be my suggestion that she see an attorney
to forward a request to the Court for an amendatory injunction against the
operation of a resaurant in a residential zone.
Under the possibility of the restaurant closing for an indefinite
period of time or bringing the area back into conforming use, the Council
may consider an Ordinance specifying that the restaurant must terminate its
operation in a period of time satisfactory to the City.

ASSEMBL.YMAN, KENAI PENINSUL.A BOROUGH
June 1, 1970
Mrs. Joanne Hoogland, Vice-Mayor
Members of the city Council
Members of the Council:
For twenty months I have served as one of Seward's two
representatives to the Kenai peninsula Borough. It has been
my pleasure to have served with such excellent Assemblymen from
Seward as former Assemblymen Bill Vincent and Gene Skinner, and
with present Assemblyman Phil Hardy. For personal reasons I al-
ways drove my own car and passed some of the savings back to the
City of seward in the form of a reduced expense allowance.
I deeply enjoyed the Assembly, so much so that I missed only
three of the regular or special sessions of that body in those
twenty months. I have not missed a meeting of the Assembly in the
last year.
My only reason for telling you all of this is to give you
the background for a request I make in this letter.
Tonight I am announcing to you my resignation as Assemblyman
from Seward. It does not appear to me that Council need vote on
accepting that resignation; therefore, I rule from the chair that
the resignation is an actuality and Council need only appoint a
successor.
seward is an integral part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and
it behooves seward to send the best possible representation to that
body. The drive is long, sometimes the meetings are long, and much
work is involved in serving~. In the past, the question has usually
been not lIWho is best qualified to serve seward at Soldotna?1l but
IlWho will accept the job?1l
I ask you now as Mayor of seward to give serious consideration
to selecting the best possible representative from the Council to
the Kenai peninsula Borough Assembly to insure full representation
for this city on that body. The Assembly meets in regular session
tomorrow night at Thompson1s Log in Soldotna at 7:30 p.m.
Very truly yours,

Dear MI'. Filip:
When I rirst was seated an the C~uncil in October 1968, you were
serving ~he City in the dual capacity of City Clerk-Treasurer. Council
approval of the fine job YClU had done tor the community was shown by your
unanimous appointment as Acting City Manager on April 8, 1969, for a
ninety-day period.
At the end of that trial period. Council appointed you the City
Manager of Seward and retained you. as well, in the positions of City
Clerk-Treasurer. Your devoted and excellent service in all three capa-
cities has afforded the city a considerable savings in salaries. a fact
which no City Council every overlooks.
After my election as Mayor of Seward in October 1969, I have neces-
sarily worked sem8hat mere closely with you and have seen at first hand
how tightly-oDganized an administration you have attempted to operate. In
th eight months that I have served as Mayor, I have noted your continued
attempts to economize in every possible way.
It is my personal conviction that you have done an excellent job for
us as City Manager the past fourteen months. YOUI' honesty and forthright-
ness toward problems facing us has been of great help in finding solutions
to many of those problems. The same approach in the future will help to
maintain an efficient, healthy city government.
As my last official act as Mayor of seward, I am pleased to publicly
record my personal gratitude for yOUI' fine job and to extend my official
commendations to you for your fine service to the City of Seward. It has
been a privilege to have been associated with you in mutual service to
tho city.
I extend to you my best wishes for continued success.
Ver;;r. truly your s,

of Seward. This decision is irrevocable. It is a most painful
decision to arrive at: Sometimes each of us arrives at a cross-
roads in life, where circumstances force us to make a decision
which we would rather put off to another time, another place.
I am resigning immediately because if the city of Seward becomes
directly involved in litigation on lawsuits now being prepared for me
by the law firm of Reasor, Tunley, and Ross, such a situation would
involve me in a serious conflict of interest were I to continu~ to
serve as Mayor.
