RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR
WHEREAS, Brad Snowden was granted a Conditional Use Permit in September 1993
for development and operation of a hotel on Alaska Railroad right-of-way within the small
boat harbor area; and
WHEREAS, Brad Snowden has negotiated a lease for the use of Alaska Railroad
property for development of a hotel; and
WHEREAS, through no fault of Mr. Snowden, the hotel project and the lease with
the railroad is pending due to the discovery, study and needed clean-up of contaminated soil
at the site; and
WHEREAS, Brad Snowden received a six month extension approved by the Planning
Commission on April 6, 1994, in order to provide time for the Alaska Railroad to resolve
the land clean-up process, subsequent signing of the lease and commencement of the hotel
project; and
WHEREAS, Brad Snowden has requested another six month extension of his CUP
to provide additional time for the Alaska Railroad to resolve the above issues; and

not to exceed six months upon a finding that the circumstances have not changed sufficiently
to warrant a reconsideration of the approval of the CUP;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The circumstances have not changed sufficiently to warrant a reconsidera-
tion of the approval of the CUP issued to Brad Snowden for development of a hotel on
