SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Faith Harbor Fellowship applied for a temporary land use permit for use of city snow lot 334 Galena Drive, Lot 22, Block 35 Mineral Creek Subdivision for three months spanning June 1 - August 31, 2023. The request is for the erection of a 52' x 76' temporary tent for the purpose of church services, youth activities, and church fellowship with music.
Assistant City Manager and Capital Facilities Director Nate Duval, and Interim Public Works Director Joe Russell were solicited for comments on the application and expressed no objection. Use of the property should not interfere with the primary purpose of the lot for snow storage, and the applicant must wait for natural snow melt to occur and may not remove snow from the lot themselves to make room for this use. The permit will include language describing this condition.
Faith Harbor Fellowship is required to obtain a building permit for placement of the tent. The public sidewalk will remain unobstructed under this permit, and no permanent alteration of the land shall occur.
Pursuant to Valdez Municipal Code 17.48.140 H, temporary land use permit requests not to exceed six months in duration may be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Fees for temporary land use permits of this type were established by City Council with Resolution #12-36 which states that "for permits not exceeding two acres in size, and for a period of six months or less, the fee shall be $250 per month." For the three-month period requested the permit fee will be $750.00.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve this temporary land use permit...
