From: Jason Bickling, Community Development Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-121: Recommending City Council and Kenai Peninsula
Borough Approval of the Preliminary Replat of Lot 4A-1 and Lot 4D,
Block 7, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision Seward Marine Industrial
Center (SMIC), Raibow Replat, Creating Four Lots; Lot 4D-1, Lot 4A-2,

Background and justification:
Attached for the Council's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning
Commission is a preliminary replat submitted by the Seward City Harbor on behalf of JAG Alaska,
Inc. This platting action creates four new parcels, Lot 4D-1, Lot 4A-2, Lot 4A-3, and Lot 4A-4 by
subdividing Lot 4A-1 and Lot 4D, Block 7, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, SMIC, Raibow Replat,
also known as 3305 &3409 Morris Avenue Seward,Alaska in the Seward Marine Industrial Center.
JAG Alaska, Inc requested this platting action in order to increase the footprint of the land they
are currently leasing at the Seward Shipyard. This would allow them to extend the existing rail
system on Lot 4A-3 to create additional ship berthing and much needed additional employee
parking that together will support increased annual volume of work that can be performed at the
facility.
On November 8, 2022 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution 2022-025, which
recommended this platting action to the City Council and Kenai Peninsula Borough for approval.
All conditions required by Seward City Code §16.01.015, conditions to plat approval, were met;
the property owners within 300 feet of the requested replat were notified of the proposed
subdivision, and the property was posted with public notice signage.
In accordance with Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a plat before
submittal to the Borough for approval.
