RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Land Use Permit #17-01 from Pacific Pile & Marine for Tract S, Harbor Subdivision for the placement of two mobile office trailers on Tract S, Harbor Subdivision for a period of 18 months, through December 2018.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On July 5, 2017, Pacific Pile & Marine submitted an application for the placement of a mobile office trailer on Tract S of the Harbor Subdivision. On July 21, 2017 that application was amended to include an additional mobile office trailer.
Tract S is owned by the City of Valdez and is adjacent to the Fishermen’s Dock. The Harbormaster was consulted and this permit has no adverse impact on Harbor operations.
A Land Use Permit (LUP) is used, rather than a lease for short durations when no permanent improvements or modifications will take place. This land use permit was reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 26, 2017. Land Use Permits are required to go to City Council for approval.
Once approved, staff will draft an LUP to include standard land use agreement conditions. These conditions are similar to the conditions of a lease, however no royalty payments will be required, as the LUP is in conjunction with a city project.
The required Certificate of Liability Insurance from the permitee with a minimum claim limit of $1,000,000 that lists the City of Valdez as an additionally insured party was received on July 25, 2017. The required plot plan from the permitee that shows the placement of the temporary office trailers was received on July 21, 2017.
The LUP application and map of the parcel submitted by Pacific Pile & Marine is attached. Staff recommends approval of Land Use Permit #17-01.
