STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
Date: October 12, 2016 Res: PZ16-35
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Deborah and Michael Sounart
114 Linwood Lane
Kenai, AK 99611
Submitted by: Integrity Surveys, Inc.
820 Set Net Dr.
Kenai, AK 99611
Requested Action: Original Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Eventyr Subdivision
Sonart Replat
Existing Legal
Description: Lot 1 and 2, Eventyr Subdivision, according to Plat No. 83-
149
Proposed Legal
Description: Lot 1A Eventyr Subdivision Sounart Replat
Street Address: 114 Linwood Lane and 112 Linwood Lane
KPB Parcel No.: 04515414 and 04515415
Existing Zoning: (RS) Suburban Residential
Current Land Use: Single Family Dwellings
Land Use Plan: Neighborhood Residential
ANALYSIS
The new plat vacates the property line between Lots 1 and 2, Eventyr
Subdivision. The lot line vacation will result in the proposed Lot 1A, Eventyr
Subdivision Sounart Replat containing 26,394 square feet. The proposed lot
meets the minimum lot size requirement of 7,200 square feet for the Suburban
Residential zone. The reconfigured lot meets the minimum lot width of 60 feet for
the Suburban Residential zone. Access to the proposed lot is provided by
Linwood Lane which is a City maintained paved road. The residences located on
the proposed lot are serviced by City water and sewer. An installation agreement
is not required.
The applicants wish to construct an approximately 450 square foot addition
which will provide an additional bedroom and an ADA accessible bathroom to the
existing residence. The proposed addition would create a violation of building
code and of Kenai Municipal Code 14.24.020 in that the building setback
Page 5 of 26
requirements will not be met until the property line between the two lots are
vacated. The applicants have requested that they be allowed to begin
construction of the addition prior to the recordation of the proposed plat which
vacates the property line. After discussions with the applicant; Planning
administration and the building official have concluded that it is permissible to
allow the applicants to begin construction on the addition. The building official will
not complete a final inspection of the premises until the plat has been recorded.
In the event that the proposed plat which vacates the property line between the
two lots is not recorded, any work that has been completed which does not
comply with KMC 14.24.020 and building code must be removed.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning and Zoning staff recommend approval with the following
requirements:
a. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State
and local regulations.
b. The utility easement referenced in plat note number three (3) should be
delineated on the face of the plat.
