NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that: Section 1. The City Council finds it in the public interest to dispose of a portion of Tract B, Park Place Subdivision to Brad Snowden in exchange for a right-of-way dedication to Hulm Lane from Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision. Furthermore, exchanging a portion of Tract B, Park CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2001-039 Place Subdivision located immediately adjacent to Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision, for a dedication to the Hulm Lane right-of-way appears a reasonable and fair exchange for both the City and Brad Snowden. Section 2. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest to complete the transaction described in this resolution without completing an appraisal of the fair market value of either property to be exchanged. The area of city-owned Tract B, Park Place Subdivision to be disposed of to Brad Snowden is comparable in size to the area of Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision to be dedicated to Hulm Lane and neither of the parcels to be exchanged are large enough to meet the minimum developable lot size requirements. For the preceding reasons, the City Council also finds that the parcels to be exchanged are likely comparable in value. Section 3. The City Manager is authorized and directed to negotiate a land trade agreement with Brad Snowden in order to resolve the Hulm Lane right-of-way encroachment on private property, with such agreement to be brought back to the City Council for the City Council's further consideration and final approval. Section 4. It is not intended that this resolution approve the proposed described real estate transaction but is to authorize the negotiation of such a land trade agreement. Any subsequent resolution actually approving the real estate transaction shall not take effect until 30 days after passage and posting as required by Seward City Code ~ 7.05.140. Section 5. This resolution shall take effect immediately. PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the city of Seward, Alaska, this 27th day of March, 2001.
