INTRODUCTION
Public lands are a finite community asset held in trust. This document addresses the city's land
asset holdings and needs. The issues related directly to the management of city owned lands
are numerous.
* Land management decisions are being made without full knowledge of city owned
lands.
* How should the city determine a fair return to the community for the use of public lands?
* City lands such as the city shop and Boulder Field may not be being used at their
highest and best use.
* How should funds from the disposal of public lands be used?
* The City has not completed its selection of state entitlement lands.
* Do we have sufficient lands to accommodate future public facility and transportation
needs?
* Is the City taking the greatest advantage of its land as a source of direct and indirect
revenues?
Whereas the Land Use Plan segment of the Comprehensive Plan is the primary tool to ensure
quality community land use arrangements, this Municipal Lands Management Plan is a
component that will provide an action guide specifically for the management of city -owned lands.
The goals of the plan are to:
* Provide an inventory of city owned lands, describing their present and proposed uses
* Assist in establishing a successful land management program by identifying:
* city lands surplus to public needs
A land acquisition needs for future public facility development
A lands for economic development
* Assist in implementing the Seward Comprehensive Plan
A Land Management Plan was last completed in May 1995. In the ensuing 19 years many parcels
of land were sold, acquired, leased, altered, replatted, etc. All City owned lands have been
individually updated on enclosed tables and maps.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
City Code Seward City Code (SCC) Chapter 7.05 is the basis for all municipal land
transactions and defines "Real Property" as an estate or holding in land including tide and
submerged lands, or improvements thereon.
Fair Market Value SCC 7.05 states that unless otherwise found to be in the public
interest, the City may not dispose of any real property interest without an appraisal of the fair
market value. Fair market value is defined as the highest price, described in terms of money,
which the property would bring if exposed for sale for a reasonable time in the open market, with
a seller, willing to buy, both being fully informed of all the purposes for which the property is best
adapted or could be used. Once that appraised fair market value is determined, the property may
not be sold for less than that amount without a finding in the public interest by the City Council.
Nominations Although this plan will identify lands for disposal through lease or sale, city
Resolution 94-101 outlines procedures for the nominating public lands for disposal. Resolution
94-101 procedure allows individual entrepreneurs to make recommendations for specific lands
without publicly revealing their particular development plans.
Fund Classification Within the city's accounting functions there are different fund types.
The General Fund includes government wide functions such as fire, police, streets, planning,
parks, and other services provided to the public as a whole. Each city enterprise such as the
Harbor, Electric Utility, Parking, and Water/Sewer Utility has a separate fund to account for its
specialized activity. Each of these funds has land associated with its operation such as electric
substation, sewer treatment plant and harbor uplands. Although land is not a depreciated asset,
it may be a vehicle to generate revenues through leases or user fees which benefit that enterprise
fund.
ACQUISITION
Seward City Code allows the city to acquire or dispose of property by three methods: negotiation,
public auction or sealed bid. City Code defines "acquisition" as obtaining ownership and holding
real property within or outside the city boundaries by purchase, gift, donation, grant, dedication,
exchange, redemption, purchase or equity redemption, operation of law, tax or lien foreclosure,
adverse possession, condemnation or declaration of taking, annexation, or by any other lawful
means of conveyance.
Municipal Entitlement. State law allows local governments to acquire certain public
lands.
State Selections The Alaska Statehood Act allowed the state to select 400,000 acres of
national forest lands for community expansion, development and recreation. Municipalities (cities
and boroughs) were authorized to select certain state lands within their corporate limits. The City
has acquired 515 acres of its authorized 565 acre entitlement. Unfortunately, the State no longer
budgets its staff to process municipal entitlement requests. In an attempt to work with the State
on the remaining entitlement lands the State has noted there are no lands available for selection
within the Municipality at this time. Should new lands become available the City will apply.
Recommendation: Budget time and attention to applying for the remaining
municipal entitlement. Possible State lands to watch are: State storage on the southwest corner
of Fifth and B; once the State Shop moves out to mile 22, the current State shop land at the
northeast corner of Fifth and B may become available.
Tidelands. Alaska Statutes provide for municipalities to request and receive patent to
state owned tidelands within its corporate limits. The city has acquired two such patents; 1330
acres stretching from Anderson Dock north along the Waterfront Park shoreline and across the
head of the Resurrection Bay, to Nash Road; and 92 acres seaward of Seward Marine Industrial
Center (SMIC). The remaining tidelands within the city include those on the west side of the bay,
south of Anderson Dock. Some tidelands have been filled to accommodate commercial and
industrial development such as the small boat harbor, railroad dock, Waterfront Tracts, and SMIC.
Although the city deeded some tidelands to the U.S. Government for construction of the small
boat harbor basin, breakwater, and railroad dock, the Corps of Engineers determined that an
easement would have been sufficient for the small boat harbor project and have deeded those
harbor basin tidelands back to the city.
Recommendation: Budget time and attention to applying for the remainder of State
tidelands and replating as needed.
Donation/Gift On occasion private individuals have donated land to the city, usually for
park purposes. Most notable examples of this have been around the lagoon.
Eminent Domain/Condemnation Government has the legal authority to acquire or "take"
private property for public purpose upon paying fair market compensation to the owner. This type
of acquisition is generally used only as a last resort after other acquisition efforts have failed.
Tax/Lien Foreclosure State statutes require that tax foreclosed property within the City
limits be deeded to the City. It gives the City the opportunity to declare by ordinance whether a
foreclosed property is needed for a public purpose. If so, all redemption avenues by the former
owner are closed. If property is not needed for a public use, the former owner has first right of
redemption for up to 10 years. Any funds over and above taxes, penalties, interest and
administrative costs gained from the sale of tax foreclosed property are made available to the
former property owner within the 10 year limit.
Purchase Many of the City's parcels have been purchased from private land owners.
Such purchases are generally based on a fair market appraisal value. Funding for such
purchases is on a cash available basis from appropriated funds.
Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale of
surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands.
Trade/Exchange The city has acquired some lands through trades with private and public
sources.
DISPOSAL
Seward City Code. defines "disposition" as the transfer of City interest in real property by warranty
or quitclaim deed, easement, grant, permit, license, deed of trust, mortgage, contract of sale of
real property, plat dedication, lease, tax deed, will, or other lawful method or mode of conveyance
or grant.
Sale After conducting a public hearing, City Council may approve the negotiated, sealed
bid or public outcry auction sale of public property. The sale price or minimum bid price must be
at fair market value unless otherwise found to be in the public interest by the Council. The sale
of land converts a capital asset to cash which accrues to the city's general fund or one of the
enterprise funds. It may then be appropriated through the budget process to many different uses.
There has been increasing discussions about establishing a Land Bank fund in which the
proceeds for land sales would accrue for the acquisition of future municipal lands, thereby
benefiting present and future citizens and promoting the orderly development and achievements
of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale of
surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands.
Lease City Council Resolution 94-101 established the most recent policy and procedure
relating to the lease of public lands. The essential terms and conditions of city leases generally
include length of the lease, rental rate, and development requirements. With the exception of
those to the state or federal government, all leases require proof of liability insurance naming the
city as an insured party. Leases are allowed to be assigned or sublet with written city consent. A
condition of any sublet consent is that the city receives a copy of the sublet agreement including
the rental value. This information is important to the city in the development of fair market land
values.
Although the Comprehensive Plan suggests that the city continues to dispose of
commercial and industrial public land through long term leases rather than sale; lessees continue
to lobby for the fee simple transfer of their sites. Although the sale of these lands would generate
a large one-time cash infusion to the city, it would have a si
City lands are normally leased at fair market rental rates based on a percent of fee simple
land value. The City uses an 8% rate. Reviews of other community and public agency lease
policies show that this rate varies from 6% to 10% throughout the state. The lower rates appear
to apply where there is strong desire to encourage development and higher rates where the
demand for land is high. In Seward, there is an exceptionally high demand for land in the small
boat harbor where there are no vacant lands available for lease. On the other hand the city is
trying to encourage development at the Seward Marine Industrial Center.
Recommendation: Consider using different rental percentage rates to reflect
supply and demand on various city land areas i.e. the Seward Marine Industrial Center
where land is available and development is encouraged and the Small Boat Harbor where
land is in short supply and high demand.
Trade/Exchange. The city has disposed of substantial acreage through land trades with
both public agencies and private individuals.
RIGHTS OF WAY, ENCROACHMENTS, and EASEMENTS
Rights of Way (ROW) While Rights of Way normally do not convey any warranty or title
interest and are not considered real property under general accounting procedures; they are a
part of the city's overall land management efforts. These are lands acquired by reservation,
dedication, forced dedication, prescription, or condemnation and intended to be used for public
access, roads, trails, parking, and utilities. Rights -of -Way are normally dedicated to the public
during the subdivision platting process, and there is usually no deed transferring ownership. They
generally fall under the management authority of the local municipality providing road services.
All ROW within the city are under city jurisdiction, except for Third Avenue/Seward Highway,
Airport Road and a small portion of Nash Road which are State ROW. The city is responsible for
developed as well as dedicated but yet un-developed Rights of Way (streets and alleys). There
are platted Rights of Way which will never be developed or used because of topography and there
are additional Rights of Way that the city should plan for in the future.
Recommendation:
a) Vacate otherwise undevelopable Rights of Way to enlarge and/or consolidate
adjacent lands. (Note: This is generally accomplished when adjacent lands are
replated)
b) Plan Rights of Way acquisition to:
1) Connect Hemlock Avenue & Afognak Avenue and Olympia Road as an
alternate exit from Gateway Subdivision and collector street for the
undeveloped portion of Forest Acres and the land north and west of the
schools complex.
2) Extend Chamberlain Road above the horse pasture to Phoenix Road to
provide an alternate parallel route to relieve pressure on the Seward Hwy.
(Note: This is private land and should be worked on when the developer
choses to subdivide and replat the land)
3) Extend Benson Drive through from Swetmann Drive to Phoenix Road to
provide a safer alternate egress from Gateway Subdivision. (Note: Two
private parcels stand between the end of Benson Drive ROW and Phoenix
Road)
c) Modify and enforce the City code to discourage the use of rights of way for
the storage of personal property such as trailers, inoperable /unlicensed motor
vehicles, and commercial equipment.
Encroachments City code provides for issuance of permits to allow an encroaching
structure to remain on public right of way for the life of the structure. The purpose of this provision
is to legitimize older structures that have been inadvertently constructed across a property line
into a public right of way. It is not intended to condone trespassing or to allow construction in the
public right of way. Most encroachments occur in the older central part of town because of small
lots and zero lot line construction. They are generally discovered as a result of as -built surveys
done during financing.
Easements An easement is a right given by a land owner to another party for a specific
limited use. The property owner retains title to the property. Government agencies generally
authorize or convey such uses by permit. Generally, easements and permits are granted for
access, public utilities and flood control devices on subdivision plats and by separate individual
agreements. The City Code authorizes the city to grant easements not to exceed 20 years. The
Community Development Department is continuing to catalog and inventory recorded and platted
easements and permits issued to the City.
Recommendation:
a) Continue to keep an accurate and complete inventory data base of all
easements.
b) Work to obtain legal access/utility easements within the Clearview
Subdivision
Access Lowell Point Road is the most notable example of an access agreement held by
the City. It is by permit from the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The city has
also retained numerous access easements on the prison site to allow city crews to serve public
utility systems.
Dikes/Levees The city has easements for a number of flood control levees, one alongside
Gateway Subdivision for upper Japanese Creek, continuing along the West property lines of
Afognak Acres Subdivision to the Transfer Station Road. To the South of Japanese Creek, is the
easement for the west end of the North Forest Acres Levee and the Dieckgraeff Road Right of
Way extends to the Seward Highway. A levee located on the south side of Spruce Creek at
Lowell Point, to protect the sewer lagoon. Another levee to the North of Fourth of July Creek has
a legal description of Tract B, Fourth of July Creel Subdivision.
Utility Water, sewer and electric are the most common easements held by the city. They
are generally very specific as to size and location. In some instances a land owner will place
conditions on an easement relative to cutting trees or for a specific time period.

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 a new 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 fora public safety building.

Lowell Creek Diversion Tunnel, Water Tanks, Hydro Plant
Description: This was the Brownell Homestead. Itwas acquired in the late 1930's by the city in part to build the Lowell Creek diversion
tunnel and levee. Later in the 1950's the lower portion was subdivided as the Marathon Addition. This parcel is located in the Lowell
Creek drainage 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 111 lake and
2°d Ave. drainage flood control.
Recommendation: Retain land ownership. Do not extend housing any further up the canyon. Generally manage as a scenic backdrop
and as watershed. Continue working with our congressional delegation to transfer ownership and maintenance responsibility of the
diversion wall, tunnel and flume to the Army Corp of Engineers. Restore Hydro Electric plant.

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.

ition of this lease. Boardwalks on both sides now closed to public. Lease expires Jan 11, 2034. No extension options.
dation: 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 and leases.

Ma 4-28
Harbor
Description: Block includes the tideland basin, north dock, barge dock, breakwater, travel -lift dock, shiplift dock (See Public Facilities)
and Spring Creek Campground (see Public Facility Parks). The land was mostly created from dredged tidelands during the
development of the Seward Marine Industrial Center. It is a large cargo staging area in support of the North Dock. A portion of the
site needs to be contained by a breakwater and filled.
Recommendation: Retain land and facility ownership. Continue use of beach next to Spring Creek as a campground and public
access to beach. Complete development of uplands as a support area to the North Dock.
SURPLUS LANDS (None)
These lands appear to have no public use and do not appear suited for lease development. They are generally considered
surplus and it is recommended that they be disposed of through sale or trade.
TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY (None)
At the time of this revision of the land management plan, the city has two tax foreclosed properties in its inventory. Properties
for tax foreclosure inside the city limits are deeded to the city by State Statutes, tax foreclosure properties are presented to
the City Council to declare whether they are needed for a public use or surplus.
LANDS TO CONSIDER FOR ACQUISITION
As the community develops, public land needs expand beyond what is already owned by the city. The following is a list of
properties that have been identified for acquisition

lot is located on the southeast corner of B Street and Fifth Avenue, it is used for over flow storage.

GENERAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Where possible the city should strive to:
a) Require dedication of land during subdivision replatting to widen substandard right-of-ways.
b) 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.
c) Replat city property to vacate lot lines and consolidate lots.
d) Continue to require leases to replat parcels into legal subdivisions.
e) Maximize long term revenues from city lands.
f) Where possible, when leases expire and it is mutually determined to continue the lease, issue new agreement
documents updated to current standards.
g) Develop a Land Bank account to use for the sale and purchase of city lands.
h) Develop a Conservation Overlay District to protect critical natural lands.
i) Develop a bank of funds from land sales to use for City projects and infrastructure.
PRIORITIES
1. City Shop move
2. City owned, covered basketball court / ice skating rink on Boulder Field
3. 3rd Ave Park improvements
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.
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.
