Fire
Description: The fire hall was built by volunteers in the early 1960's. The parking lot to the south was acquired from the non-profit volunteer
fire department. They also own the three lots on the north side of the fire hall. As fire trucks become larger and heavier, the building becomes
less useable. New fire equipment will most likely necessitate an addition and/ or structural improvements to the building. The Fire Master Plan
recommends anew station be constructed in the mid -town area to be more centrally located within the community. Should the fire department
be relocated, the site has been discussed for a public safety building.
Recommendation: Retain land ownership as fire hall, acquire lots north of fire hall from Volunteer Fire Department, and replat as a single parcel.

area at the end of Lowell Canyon Road. The majority of the parcel is Lowell Creek and Mount Marathon. Development includes the Mt.
Marathon Hiking trail which is a 4x4 access to a fenced in water catchment area. The canyon area includes a hydroelectric plant, two water
storage tanks, a water chlorination building, security fencing, the Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel entrance, safety fencing, diversion culvert and
a road gate. Portions of the area are subject to avalanches. The hydroelectric plant, built as part of the Marathon water system, is no longer
functional; and surface water environmental chlorination requirements have made the Marathon water source uneconomical. The water piping
through the hydroelectric building is used for 1st lake and 2°d Ave. drainage flood control.

Description: Acquired and replatted in 1916 as a cemetery. Salmon Creek shifted channels in the 1920's, causing the water table to rise too
high to continue using the property as a cemetery. Many of the bodies were exhumed and relocated in the current city cemetery. A few remain
at the north end of the property. It has been maintained by volunteers. The south half is vacant and unsubdivided. It is a level, heavily wooded
area with high water table and road access on three sides.
Recommendation: Cemetery Plan recommend subdivide into two parcels. Retain N1/2 already subdivided as cemetery plots for future above

Description: The lands were purchased from the State in 1967, for $1, for development of a campground as part of the Alaska Centennial. The
deed carried a restriction that it be used for "public recreational purposes." Because of discussions about relocating the city shops to this site,
in 1982 the city requested and the State removed the "recreational use" but left the "public purposes" restriction in place. In 1996 the City
requested the removal of the "for public purposes only" from the deed. In 1997 the State granted the request and removed the deed restriction
& reverter clause, and counted the 22.923 acres of land towards the City's Land Entitlement fulfillment. The 1985 plan specifically addresses
this lot as an alternate site to relocate the city shops. Although it is the only city owned parcel located on this side of the bay that is large enough
to meet the needs of a shop location. Many feel its visible highway location make it unsuitable as a public works site. The site is within the
mapped Special Flood Hazard Area.

Possible Title Issue: Old city tax assessor ledgers indicate the Lot 37 was in the name of the Harriman National Bank from 1927 through 1931.
Suddenly the ledgers show the property in the name of the City. It has been in the city's name since that time. There is no indication of tax
foreclosure. Never found a deed.

Description: Waterfront parcel originally developed as a charter office, retail and restaurant building. Subsequently added 2°1 floor and
restaurant area remodeled as small hotel. Development of a portion of the public boardwalk on the water side of the building was a condition
of this lease. Boardwalks on both sides now closed to public. Lease expires Jan 11, 2034. No extension options.
Recommendation: Retain land ownership and continue lease. Open boardwalks to the public.
The following seven (7) lease sites, commonly called the Boardwalk Sites, are located within Block 6 of the Small Boat Harbor
Subdivision. Initiated in the mid 1980's, the original concept was to provide a low cost site to encourage small business
development in the harbor area. Originally buildings were allowed on skids; water and sewer were not required; each site was±900
square feet and was leased for a 10 year period with a single three year extension option. In the late 1990's, at the end of the
leases, the sites were required to install water and sewer, the lease sites were expanded and buildings were required to meet
building codes. Most buildings were removed and new ones constructed. A few were raised and foundations built beneath them.
Recommendation for all Boardwalk Sites is to retain land ownership, continue all seven boardwalk leases.

Description: This large tract is located in the valley upstream of the industrial area toward Godwin Glacier and on the bench above Nash Road.
This area was acquired from the KPB as part of land trade for the elementary school site.
Considerations for future use:
Based on the study by Mike Gratz, KPB, there is a unique and important wetlands located on bench above Nash Road.
Viewshed: - What is the viewshed worth to the community? What should not be developed? If community supports development and loss of
the viewshed is any of it developable?
Access: Is there access available? Off of Nash Road? Off the Fourth of July Creek valley? Extreme costs of access?
Utilities: Power distribution lines along Nash Road would have to be changed. The transmission line poles along Nash Road are not tall enough
for passage under. Public water and sewer verses private systems.
Environmental: Complete study on streams and the impact of development.
Water source for firefighting: The city fire department is set up for hydrants? Can a water system be put up on the bench? Will city have to
develop water tanker type of firefighting capabilities?
Use money from sale of other City lands such as Anderson and Roberts set up in a Lands Account.
Recommendation: Replat to separate out a section to rezone as R2 with larger lots, leave remainder as Resource Management. Extend a
moratorium on the sale of any portion of this parcel until a complete study is accomplished. Evaluate for future uses industrial, commercial,
residential, and/or resource management. Rezone accordingly.

Description: This ±100 acre tract once owned by the Methodist Women's Global Mission is located on the side of Marathon Mountain above
the Bayview Addition and now privately own. Past owners have been approached the city about allowing the land to be logged. This property
is part of the Marathon Mountain watershed; and as a "viewshed," it is visible to the entire upper Resurrection Bay area. A trail through this
property was used by the Jesse Lee Home students to reach the Marathon Mtn. waterfall and bowl.
Recommendation: City owns a strip centered on Scheffler Creek that splits this parcel. Pursue conservation overlay easement to prevent logging
and to protect watershed / viewshed
DOT/PF maintenance shop site.
The city and the state have a Memorandum of Understanding that addresses the need to move this type of use out of the core town
area. Funding has been the big limitation. If it becomes vacant, it might be available to the city under municipal entitlement.

GENERAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Where possible the city should strive to:
- ---- - - - - - -- - --- - -- - -- -
b. Require dedication of land during subdivision replatting to widen substandard
right-of-ways.
C. Lease terms should be for the shortest term possible to amortize development
financing and allow for windows of opportunity to make changes consistent with
then current policy.
d. Replat city property to vacate lot lines and consolidate lots.
e. Continue to require leases to replat parcels into legal subdivisions.
f. Maximize long term revenues from city lands.
g. Where possible, when leases expire and it is mutually determined to continue the
lease, issue new agreement documents updated to current standards.
h. Develop a Land Bank account to use for the sale and purchase of city lands.
Develop a Conservation Overlay District to protect critical natural lands.
Develop a bank of funds from land sales to use for a City Community Center and
other long term City projects.
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
While it is hoped that actions presented in this plan will be implemented, it is recognized that
plans must be flexible to reflect condition changes and funding availability necessary to
implement certain recommendations. Plans are key program documents and should be utilized
to assist in capital budgeting process of the City of Seward. The goal of any plan is for it to be
implemented. In order to ensure the successful implementation of this Municipal Lands
Management Plan and enable the City to realize its benefits, it should be adopted by City Council
resolution and incorporated by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan.
102
The City normally reviews its Comprehensive Plan annually with an overall update every five
years. It is strongly urged that the Municipal Land Management Plan be reviewed and updated
on the same schedule. An annual review will help track accomplishments, changes and any
inadvertent omissions. Because dynamic changes in community needs and politics occur daily, it
is vital that up to date information upon which to make management, planning and budgeting
decisions is available to the administration and the City Council.
