GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Ave.
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Submitted by: Integrity Surveys
820 Set Net Dr.
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Requested Action: Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition
Existing Legal
Description: Tracts A-1 and A-2, Evergreen Tract A Resub., according to Plat No.
85-15
Proposed Legal
Description: Tracts A-3 and A-4, Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition
Street Address: 207 Evergreen Street and 12848 Kenai Spur Highway
KPB Parcel No.: 04314101 and 04314102
Existing Zoning: General Commercial
Current Land Use: Vacant
Land Use Plan: Neighborhood Residential
ANALYSIS
Tract A-1 of Evergreen Tract A Resub. is approximately 3.02 acres in size. The proposed
plat would decrease Tract A-1 to a parcel approximately 2.00 approximately acres. Said
tract is shown as Lot A-4, on the preliminary plat of Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition.
The proposed tract meets the minimum lot size for the General Commercial zone. Said
tract may be accessed by Evergreen Street which is a City maintained paved street.
Tract A-2 of Evergreen Tract A Resub. is approximately 5.50 acres in size. The proposed
plat would enlarge the tract to approximately 6.516 acres. Said tract is shown as Tract A-
3, on the preliminary plat of Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition. The proposed tract
meets the minimum lot size for the General Commercial zone. Said tract may be accessed
by either Evergreen Street or the Kenai Spur Highway. Evergreen Street is a City
maintained paved street and the Kenai Spur Highway is a State maintained paved
Page 7 of 33
highway. Any access off the Kenai Spur Highway must be approved by the State of Alaska,
Department of Transportation.
Water and sewer lines are located within the right-of-way for Evergreen Street and a
portion of the Kenai Spur Highway. In addition, water and sewer lines are located in the
50 foot utility easement as shown on the proposed plat. City water and sewer services
are available to applicant and an installation agreement is not required.
The tracts shown on Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition are a replat of Tracts A-1 and
A-2, Evergreen Tract A Resub. The plat of Evergreen Tract A Resub. shows a ten foot (10’)
utility easement along the north boundary of Tract A-1 and Tract A-2. This utility
easement was not shown on the preliminary plat of Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition.
Administration has verified with Scott Huff with Integrity Surveys that this ten foot (10’)
utility easement will be drawn along the north boundary of Tracts A-3 and A-4 on the final
plat of Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition.
The ten foot (10’) utility easement shown along the east boundary of Tract A-1 and A-2,
Evergreen Tract A. Resub. has been increased to fifteen feet (15’) as drawn on the
preliminary plat of Evergreen Subdivision 2016 Addition.
On October 7, 2015, the City Council of the City of Kenai, Alaska, adopted Ordinance No.
2855-2015 which rezoned this property from Rural Residential (RR) to General
Commercial (CG). This rezone enlarged a neighboring commercial use. The continuation
of the General Commercial zone along the Kenai Spur Highway allows for commercial
uses, which are generally more compatible fronting along a highway rather than
residential uses. The 2003 Comprehensive Plan designates the land use for the tracts as
neighborhood residential. As such time as the comprehensive plan is updated; it should
be recommended that the land use for these tracts be changed to neighborhood
commercial.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plat of Evergreen
Subdivision 2016 Addition, subject to the following conditions:
a. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State and local
regulations.

Requested Action: Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Dragseth Subdivision 2016
Addition, Vacation of Dragnet Court, vacation and re-
dedication and extension of Royal Street Right-of-Way, and

easements.

77-56; Lots 5A and 6A Dragseth Subdivision No. 2 according
to Plat No. 91-33; Government Lot 15 and a portion of the SE
¼ of Section 7, T5N, R11W, Seward Meridian.
Proposed Legal
Description: Tracts A and B, Dragseth Subdivision 2016 Addition
Street Address: 1201, 1202, 1204, 1205, 1206, 1207 Dragnet Court; and 2180
Royal Street
KPB Parcel No.: 04911011; 04910112; 04910113; 04910114; 04910119;
04910120; 04910110; and 04910051
Existing Zoning: Rural Residential
Current Land Use: Single-Family Residential
Land Use Plan: Rural Residential
ANALYSIS
This plat reconfigures Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Dragseth Subdivision according to Plat
No. 77-56 and Lot 5A and 6A according to Plat No. 91-33 and Government Lot 15;
and a portion of the SE ¼ of Section 7, T5N, R11W, Seward Meridian into two
parcels to be described as Tracts A and B, Dragseth Subdivision 2016 Addition.
Page 14 of 33
PZ16‐04 Staff Report Page 2
The resulting parcels would be approximately 6.3 and 19.5 acres, respectively. As
reconfigured, they would meet the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet for the
Rural Residential Zone.
Royal Street is a 60-foot gravel roadway that is accessed off of Old Cannery Road,
both of which are not maintained by the City. As shown on the preliminary plat, an
approximately 100-foot portion of Royal Street would be vacated by the subject
plat. This portion of Royal Street would no longer be needed for a public use and
therefore can be successfully vacated. The subject preliminary plat would also
dedicate an approximately 416-foot portion being 60 feet in width and an
approximately 377 foot by 85-foot-wide portion of Royal Street. The new section
of Royal Street would be constructed to predominantly serve the Personal Use
Fishery, which takes place on South Beach property owned by the City of Kenai.
The associated improvements would consist of portable fee stations and vehicle
staging area along Royal Street, during the operation of the fishery in July.
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.10.070(b)(2) all road right-of-way must be a
minimum width of 60 feet. Pursuant to the preliminary plat, the proposed rights-
of-way meet this requirement. The proposed project is being installed and
maintained by the City of Kenai, thus, an installation agreement will not be
required.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The subject parcels currently contain a single-family residence, a detached shop
and a detached airplane hangar. The applicant as the City of Kenai, has indicated
that they plan to construct and extend Royal Street to provide improved access to
South Beach as part of management of the Personal Use Fishery on property
owned by the City as part of the proposed project, the applicant would vacate
Dragnet Court and an approximately 100-foot portion of Royal Street. The
applicant would also dedicate a new right-of-way of Royal Street, extending to the
beach to provide access to the South Beach area. Additionally, a 15-foot-wide
drainage easement and a 20-foot-wide utility easement located on proposed Tract
A would also be vacated.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plat of
Dragseth Subdivision 2016 Addition, with the following conditions:
a.Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State and
local regulations.
b.The City Council for the City of Kenai must approve the vacation of the
rights-of-way for Royal Street, Dragnet Court, and vacation of the 15-foot
drainage easement and the 20-foot utility easement and dedication of Royal
Street, pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 22.05.110 and Kenai Peninsula
