TRADE THROUGH NEGOTIATION, A PORTION OF PUBLIC LAND
DESCRIBED AS TRACT B, PARK PLACE SUBDIVISION IN EXCHANGE
FORA RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION TO HULM LANE FROM LOT lA,
BLOCK 7, SNOWDEN SUBDIVISION
WHEREAS, as constructed Hulm Lane encroaches onto Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden
Subdivision which is owned by Brad Snowden; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Snowden has submitted a proposal to correct the road encroachment by
exchanging a portion of city-owned Tract B, Park Place Subdivision for a right-of-way dedication
to Hulm Lane from Lot lA, Block 7, Snowden Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the proposed exchange will correct the road encroachment on private property,
and compensate the property owner with adjoining property currently owned by the City; and
WHEREAS, Seward City Code ~ 7.05.120, authorizes the City Council to dispose of real
property by negotiation, public auction or sealed bid; and
WHEREAS, Seward City Code ~ 7.05.510, authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and
execute the acquisition of rights- of-ways and easements necessary for a utility, public improvement
or other public use except that the city council must approve acquisitions involving cash
considerations, or the exchange of real property valued in excess often thousand dollars ($10,000);
and
WHEREAS, at its February 6, 2001 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
approved Resolution 2001-01 recommending that the City Council authorize the disposal of an equal
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.
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

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.
