As stated earlier, subject property is zoned General Commercial. Kenai Municipal Code
14.22.010 (Land Use Table) provides that a residential use in this zone is considered a
secondary use. The primary use for this property must be a commercial use; therefore;
the applicant must have a commercial use on the property as well as a residential use
(multi - family dwelling). Depending on the commercial use, the applicant may have to
apply fora Conditional Use Permit.
The applicant has filed a petition with the Kenai Peninsula Borough to vacate the twenty -
five foot right -of -way for Coolidge Street (see plat for detailed drawing of right -of -way).
The applicant states that a trail exists within the right -of -way; however, the right -of -way
has not been developed as an improved street. Access to the property which lies to the
west of subject property is provided by N. Gill Street. Properties to the east of subject
property are provided access via N. Forest Drive. The properties to the south of subject
property have access via N. Gill Street, N. Forest Drive or the Kenai Spur Highway. Staff
finds that this right -of -way is not being utilized and can, therefore, be vacated.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The subject property is currently vacant. The applicant, Kenai Development Company, LLC
has indicated that they intend to develop an apartment complex on subject property.
Prior to proceeding with the project, the applicant wishes to replat the property to
remove the exiting property lines between Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 1, Haddock Subdivision
and to vacate the existing Coolidge Street right -of -way.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plat of Haddock
Subdivision KDC Replat, with the following conditions:
a. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State and local
regulations.
b. The name of the street shown on the plat as "N. Forest Street" should be changed
to read as "N. Forest Drive ".
C. The City Council for the City of Kenai must approve the vacation of the right -of-
way for Coolidge Street, pursuant to Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 20.28.100.
d. The City Manager for the City of Kenai must sign the plat acknowledging
acceptance by the City of Kenai of the final plat.
e. The applicant must submit a Landscape /Site Plan, pursuant to Kenai Municipal
Code 14.24.020, prior to beginning development of the project.

Staff Report given by Bruce Wall PC MEETING: February 22, 2016
Applicant: SBC Construction, Inc.
Landowner: Nikiski Disposal, Inc.
Parcel ID#: 015- 161 -11
Legal Description: SE% NW' /., S'M NE' /., Section 35, Township 7 North, Range 12 West, Seward
Meridian; excluding Tract C, Heatherwood Estates Subdivision Number Two,
according to Plat 2005 -82; and excluding Heatherwood Estates Subdivision,
according to Plat 99 -37, Kenai Recording District, Alaska.
Location: 46555 Miller Loop Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant wishes to obtain a permit for sand and gravel extraction on
approximately 51 .5 acres of the 87 acre parcel listed above.
The submitted site plan indicates that the material site haul route is Miller Loop Road. The site plan and
application proposes a six -foot high berm be placed along the west property line; a 30 -foot vegetated buffer
and a six -foot high berm along the south property line; a six -foot high berm adjacent to the existing service
road along the north property line in Phase l; and a six -foot high berm adjacent to Happy Lane along the east
property line in Phase 11. The applicant has requested a buffer waiver between Phase I and the existing sewer
treatment facility on the property and along the northern boundary of Phase 11, which is 546 feet south of the
property boundary. The property was logged approximately 15 years ago. The existing vegetation is sparse in
many areas and Can only offer a minimal visual buffer.
The application indicates that the proposed depth of excavation is 32 feet below existing grade. The site plan
indicates that the four monitor wells onsite locate groundwater at 34'— 39' below existing grade. The site plan
indicates that processing of material will take place more than 300 feet from the parcel boundaries. The site
plan indicates that there several wells located within 300 feet of the property, butgreater than 100 feet from the
proposed excavation. The site plan indicates that surface water protection is not necessary.
There has been a significant amount of excavation on the property recently for the construction of the sewer
treatment facility on the property; construction of roadways on the property to provide access to the monitoring
wells; and for the reclamation of the adjoining property northwest of the subject property, which had been used
for sewage lagoons.
The site plan indicates that as excavation progresses, reclaimed areas will be graded and recontoured using
strippings, overburden and topsoil to a condition that allows for reestablishment of natural vegetation and
