Agenda Item: Preliminary Plat Review of Seward Original Townsite, Marathon
Replat, a replat of Lots 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, Block 38, Original
Townsite, located at 600-608 Third Avenue, within the Office
Residential (OR)Zoning District
BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Planning Commission is a preliminary plat submitted by Lang and Associates representing
property owners Marathon North Group, LLC. This replat will combine five (5) lots, into two
lots to be known as Lot 21A and 23A, measuring 6,000 and 9,000 square feet, respectively. The
proposed replat vacates interior lot lines creating two developable parcels from 5 parcels that
have been divided into various sizes through old deeds, prior to the adoption of the Seward
zoning code. The total size of the replat is approximately 15,000 square feet. In accordance with
Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a platting action before submittal
to the Borough for final approval.
Zoning and Surrounding Land Use: The lots are currently zoned Office Residential (OR) —
Under SCC 15.05.025 (b) (6) the Office Residential (OR) district is intended to provide for
medium density residential, commercial and office development designed to act as a transition
zone between the high-density central business district and surrounding medium-high density
residential districts.
The parcels in this replat located in the center of the Office Residential Zoning District.
Properties to the north and east are developed with single-family homes. Properties to the west,
across Third Avenue, are developed with single-family homes, and to the southwest, the ILWU
hall and a recently built studio apartment 12-plex are zoned Auto-commercial (AC). Block 29 to
the south is developed with the AVTEC student services center, gymnasium, culinary academy
and dormitories, and is zoned Institutional (INS).
Utilities: The property is served by existing public utilities and maintained streets; therefore a
subdivision agreement is not required.
Size: Lot 21A will contain approximately 6,000 square feet, and Lot 23A will contain
approximately 9,000 square feet. The new lots will meet the requirement for minimum lot width
and buildable lot size for the Office Residential Zoning District.

Erik Fredeen, outside city, thanked the Commission for scheduling a work session to discuss the
sale Fort Raymond property to Chugachmiut. Fredeen stated that he was a third-party project

located entirely outside the Special Flood Hazard Area.
Ecklund relaxed the rules and allowed Mr. Fredeen to speak again
Erik Fredeen stated that the property is located in a flood zone if you look at the Kenai Peninsula
Borough flood map instead of the FEMA flood map, and that he would prefer using the Borough's
flood map because he believes it to be more accurate.

these tools and platforms—which can include information gathering with voting tools and surveys, 51 -
collecting responses on Twitter and Facebook,and hosting interactive Twitter Town Halls and Google s
Hangouts—are becoming a part of local public engagement strategies,as they offer new formsof inter- s
action with community members,create opportunities to expand the reach of traditionai engagement
activities,and produce additional data to support planning activities. The Cuyahoga County Planning
Commission maintains a Twitter

some of the barriers posed by traditional engagement strategies.Public meetings can be sparsely atten d-
ed and,whether they're held on weekday evenings or weekend mornings,will always be at time when
segments of the pop ulatlon cannot attend.And,as shown by survey data from Public Agenda,many local
officials feel that the public can be both disengaged and distrustful,and that public meetings are often
dominated by"professional citizens"and people with narrow agendas.Online tools and social media plat-
forms remove the time constraints of in-person meetings,offer opportunities for community members to
engage in new and interactive ways,and can bring new voices into the engagement process.
Recommendation 1:Supplement Existing Engagement Strategies
Online engagement tools offer an opportunity to expand and diversify participation in the engagement
process,bringing more people to the(metaphorical)table.Social media platforms and online engage-
ment tools provide the most benefit when they are combined with traditional outreach strategies.
Online engagement tools and social media platforms,combined with traditionai outreach,can broaden
outreach and engage community members in new ways.
Nearly a quarter of U.S.adults do not use the Internet at home.According to the Pew Research Cen-
ter's Internet&American Life Project,15 percent do not use the Internet at all,and nine percent use it
outside the home but do not have a home con nectio n.These numbers underscore the importance of
continuing to use traditional media and outreach platforms,so that bringing new technologies into
outreach strategies does not mean increasing engagement with one segment of the population,only
to lose the voices of another.
Recommendation 2:Choose the Right Tools for the Situation
From social media platforms to more advanced online engagement tools,there are many online en-
gagement tools to choose from.These include both qualitative and quantitative tools and can generally
be categorized into those that allow sharing information,those that allow for the collecting of infor-
mation,and those that provide an opportunity for the exchange of information.As reflected by these
categorizations,these tools allow for different levels of engagement and interaction,
When selecting tools,it is important to consider the issue being addressed,the point in the planning
process,and the ability of planning staff to support or manage the technology being used.This includes
staff capacity to respond to social media posts or other interactive features. '
To choose the right tools,it is also important to look at who you are trying to reach or engage with and
to understand who uses different social media platforms.According to the Pew Research Center,12
percent of adults online use social networking platforms,with 42 percent reporting that they use mul- American Planning Association
Making Great Communities Happen
A Publication of the American Planning Association I PAS OuickNotes No.Si
tipie social networking platforms.Facebook is used by the majority of online adults under age 64,while
Twitter and Instagram usage is concentrated in the 18-29 age group,with around one-third of internet
users in this age group reporting using these platforms.
Assessing and evaluating throughout the planning process will help ensure both that tools are being
used effectively and that the right tools are being used.Look at areas where high levels of engage-
ment are occurring,areas where lower levels are occurring,and who is engaging with what tools and
platforms.Continuous evaluation of online engagement strategies can also ensure that they can be
successfully applied to future planning efforts.
Recommendation 3:Use the Data
Collecting the data is only part of the process.ON i ne tools and social media platforms offer the oppor-
tunity for an open exchange of information between planners and community members.And just as
with traditional outreach and engagement processes,it's not just collecting information(data),but what
you do with it that is a measure of the engagement process.
The use of social media and online engagement platforms has the potential to produce a lot of data,
whether in the forms of votes on community preferences,survey results,Facebook comments,or
exchanges on Twitter,among others,so it 1s important to have a strategy and staff capacity 1n place to REFERENCES
manage and analyze this information to ensure that it is used in a meaningful way.
