CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 92-047
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO PROCEED WITH THE ACQUISITION OF PARCELS 18-20
TO PROVIDE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE SEWARD TRANSMISSION
LINE AND AUTHORIZING A RIGHT OF ENTRY PERMIT GIVING
THE CITY IMMEDIATE ACCESS PENDING FINAL DISPOSITION
OF THE PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the Seward Electric Utility is replacing the existing electrical
transmission line with a new transmission line; and
WHEREAS, right of way is required across portions of Lots 5, 6 and 7; McBride
Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, there is no record that an easement across these lots was obtained
when the original transmission line was constructed in the late 1950's; and
WHEREAS, the portion of the lots required for the right of way include most of
the developable land, and the balance of the property is classified as wetlands; and
WHEREAS, construction of the transmission line across virtually all of the
developable portion of the property will deprive the owner of any use of the remaining
property; and
WHEREAS, the owners have demanded that the city purchase the entire lots in
fee simple and will not agree to an easement across the lots; and
WHEREAS, a reasonable value for the lots has been determined by averaging
applicable land values; and
WHEREAS, so as not to delay the construction contractor, it is necessary to obtain
a right of entry permit prior to closing due to the timer required to comply with city
procedures for the acquisition of real property;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to proceed with the acquisition
of Lots 5, 6 and 7; McBride Subdivision.
