HP Facebook Report by Mary Ann Benoit
September Facebook Engagement
Since the inception of our Facebook page, we have put out at least one post per week.
In September 2020, we posted five times. Posts were related to Rockwell Kent, a new series I
started on properties on the National Register of Historic Places and our Hoben Park restoration
efforts.
• The 9-4 post on our Hoben Park restoration day received no comments but 5 likes.
• The 9-9 post thanking volunteers for helping at Hoben Park with photos of our workday
received 2 comments and 5 likes.

• The 9-21 post on the historic Swetman House received 5 likes and 2 comments.
• The 9-29 post on the Ballaine House received 5 likes and 2 comments.
The Facebook page statistics on 9-30 for Sept. 10- 30 covering 3 of the posts showed 111 total
people were reached, there were 73 post engagements, and 14-page likes.
People are liking and engaging with our posts and our audience appears to be growing.
Future Posts
In October through December I plan several more posts on Rockwell Kent and the upcoming
movie, I will continue the series on properties on the National Register of Historic Places and
do several posts on the CLG grant and walking tour. I will also post notices of our HP meetings
and any events that come up.
Any ideas from Commissioners for upcoming posts or events that need to be posted?

Identify the ten most endangered properties in Seward.
The commissioners discussed buildings that they wanted to be identified as the ten most
endangered historic properties in Seward. Buildings suggested were the Liberty Theater, St. Peter's
Episcopal Church, the Recreation building, Resurrection Art Coffee House, Ray building, Odfeller
Hall, the Arctic Brotherhood Hall, Quonset Hut, Osbo building, Harriman Bank, Lechner House,
Brownell House, Orlander building, Jesse Lee Home, and the Seward Railroad Depot.
Discuss researching structures and sites for the nomination to Seward Historic Register.
The clerk said the application for nominations to the Seward Historic Register was on the city
website and historically, citizens made these nominations. Benoit offered to post information about
nominating structures and sites to the Seward Historic Register on the commission's Facebook page.
Discuss cleaning up the standing reports.
The clerk said there was a difference between reports and discussion items. Reports should
have written documentation provided to the clerk the Tuesday before the meeting, and the
commissioner presenting the report should review the highlights of it rather than reading the report.
Discussion items should be discussed as a group and might need to have action taken on them.
The commission removed the "Jesse Lee Home", "Fort Raymond Subdivision District", "Seward
Historic Inventory List", and "Rockwell Kent" standing reports from the agenda.
Review progress on annual priorities.
Libbrecht volunteered to work with Seese to update the annual priorities list.
Discuss scheduling joint work sessions with City Council and the Planning & Zoning
commission on zone changes that affect the historic district.
Community Development Director Jackie Wilde said the Planning & Zoning Commission
looked forward to working with the Historic Preservation Commission to preserve history.

February 2, 2021, May 4, 2021, August 3,
2021, and November 2, 2021.
Motion Passed Unanimous
Discuss the historic walking tour.
Benoit was concerned that property owners might not want a sign placed in their yard if their
house was included in the historic walking tour. She suggested adding a Quick Response (QR) code
to the historic walking tour map that would link to the commission website and provide more details
on each property.
Discuss Hoben Park.
Benoit thanked Forester Mitch Michaud for coring the spruce trees at Hoben Park and
determining their age and health. The smaller tree was 75 years old and the larger tree was about 50
years old. She said the Alaska Community Forestry Council provided grants for planting trees. She
thanked Parks and Recreation, Seward Rotary Club, the commissioners, and volunteers for working
on Hoben Park. Seese thanked Benoit for coordinating the work on Hoben Park.
Discuss providing testimony during the public hearing on September 14, 2020 for City Council
Ordinance 2020-011.
Seese said the commission passed a resolution supporting the preservation of Lots 3, 4-5 and
N 1/2 of Lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite of Seward as multi -family residential (R3) at their August
13, 2020 meeting.
In response to Benoit, Wilde said the commission needed to present their position as a whole
for the public hearing but each commissioner could also speak individually on this topic.
In response to Kurtz, Libbrecht said this rezone would allow for more than 70 land uses
instead of 20 land uses. An ordinance to rezone these lots was being brought before council for a
public hearing at the September 14, 2020 council meeting. Wilde said the duty of Planning & Zoning
was to see if the criteria for this rezone had been met and it had. Planning & Zoning had approved an
ordinance rezoning these lots but the rezone still needed council's approval.
In response to Furlong, Seese said there were only nine residential lots left between Adams
Street and Jefferson Street and it was important to protect residential lots in Downtown Seward.
Benoit had envisioned this neighborhood as part of the historic walking tour.
City of Seward, Alaska Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
September 10, 2020 Volume, Page
In response to Libbrecht, Wilde said the setback requirements for the multi -family residential
district were 20 feet in the front and 10 feet on each side, but there were no setback requirements for
a zero -lot -line commercial business district. She suggested changing city code to include
development requirements for the historic district.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND REPORTS
Historic Preservation Commission Budget Report through September 4, 2020
Seese said she had received a scholarship for the NAPC conference. She wondered if the
commission's unspent funds could be rolled over to next year's budget. The clerk said unspent funds
could be rolled over to the following year. Wilde said this would need to be done through a budget
amendment by council.

CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR
PUBLIC HEARING
The City of Seward is currently experiencing a declared public health emergency due to Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19), so alternate methods for providing Citizen Comments were created.
Unless otherwise noted, the following Citizen Comments were submitted in advance and read into
the record by the City Clerk:
Carol Griswold supported retaining residential zoning of the Fifth Avenue properties in the
historic district. She believed allowing the commercial uses currently permitted on these lots was
counter to the 2017 Seward Historic Preservation Plan adopted by council. She thanked the
commission for their interest in preserving and protecting Seward's history.

NEW BUSINESS
Discuss City Council reconsideration of Ordinance 2020-011, Amending The Zoning
Designation Of Lots 3, 4-5 And N 1/2 Lot 6 Block 16 Original Townsite Seward From Multi -
Family Residential (R3) To Central Business District (CB).
Seese said several members of the public and the commission had spoken against rezoning
these lots from multi -family residential to central business district during the public hearing at the
September 14, 2020 council meeting. The commission presented their resolution supporting the
preservation of these lots as multi -family residential to council during the public hearing. Council
initially voted in opposition of this rezone but Mayor Terry called for a reconsideration of this
ordinance at the September 28, 2020 council meeting. Libbrecht said multi -family residential zoning
allowed for 12 commercial uses while central business district zoning allowed for an additional 42
land use designations. He said rezoning these lots would not be in harmony with the commission's
goal to preserve the historic district. Woelkers strongly supported maintaining the multi -family
residential zoning of these lots.
Motion (Benoit/Libbrecht)
Motion Passed
Motion (Libbrecht/Woelkers)
Direct the clerk to send a statement to
council stating that the commission was
working on the Downtown Historic District
Design Standards & Guidelines, which
could provide more guidance for zoning
changes and other areas of concern in the
downtown historic district.
Unanimous
Direct the clerk to send the following
statement to council: "The Historic
Preservation Commission would like to
restate again our support for the
maintenance of the current multi -family
(R3) zoning for Lots 3, 4-5 and N 1/Z Lot 6
Block 16 Original Townsite Seward. We
believe the people have spoken, the
commission has spoken, and we implore the
council to uphold their decision from
September 14, 2020, where upon this
ordinance failed to pass. As previously
mentioned, there are alternate remedies
available to those landowners who wish to
pursue development in this historic area. It
is
City of Seward, Alaska Historic Preservation Commission Special Meeting Minutes

is unnecessary and frivolous to consider
this change".
The commission requested their resolution supporting the preservation of these lots be included in
the email to council.
Motion Passed
Unanimous
Discuss Walkable Murals in Crosswalks in the Historic District.
Seese thanked Planning & Zoning for including the Historic Preservation Commission in this
discussion. Libbrecht said Community Development Director Jackie Wilde had assured him that
Planning & Zoning was being very specific about where walkable murals would be placed. They
were intended to be artistic and an expression of the community. Benoit was concerned that having
walkable murals in the historic district would not be appropriate.
In response to Seese, Public Works Director Doug Schoessler said adding stop signs had to
be done by city staff, who used certain safety measures. A stop sign would not be added for the sole
purpose of adding a crosswalk. The parallel crosswalks would be the most ideal to paint because they
already have stop signs. He recommended the commission decide what walkable murals would look
like in the historic district.
In response to Woelkers, Schoessler said a walkable mural on Seventh Avenue would have to
be a piano key crosswalk. He wanted the commission to be cautious of the cost associated with the
maintenance of these crosswalks.
In response to Benoit, Seese said part of Planning & Zoning's process was to create code and
guidelines for walkable murals in crosswalks.
CITIZEN COMMENTS —None
COMMISSION AND ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS & RESPONSE TO CITIZEN
COMMENTS
Benoit thanked the commissioners, Schoessler, and Carol Griswold.
Libbrecht thanked Schoessler, the clerk, and the commissioners. He was excited about
working collaboratively with Planning & Zoning.
Woelkers was happy to attend tonight's meeting in person.
Seese encouraged citizens to participate in their October 8, 2020 meeting. She thanked
Schoessler, the commissioners, the clerk, and the public. She was happy Woelkers was feeling better.

Dear Mrs. Szelag:
Thank you for applying for a Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant from the Historic Preservation
Fund. This program was created in FY2018 as a new, competitive program with the goal of supporting
the rehabilitation of historic properties in order to rehabilitate, protect, and foster economic development
of rural communities. The program funds subgrants which will be offered and administered by States,
Tribes, Certified Local Governments, and non -profits. We appreciate the time and effort you spent
developing your proposal, but unfortunately, your application was not selected for funding.
A total of 41 applications, requesting almost $22.3 million, were submitted to compete for the $4.8
million in available funding for FY2019. Congress has appropriated $7.5 million for FY2020. We
anticipate that the next application will be available in the fall of 2020 on grants.gov. When the
application becomes available, an announcement will also be made on our website at www.nps.gov/stlpg
If you have any questions regarding your application or would like to receive reviewer comments, please
contact us at STLPGknps.gov.
Thank you for your interest in the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants and for your work in
preserving our rural communities.
Sincerely,
Megan J. Brown
