STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
Date: March 22, 2017 Res: PZ17-04
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: RPM’S LLC
14096 Kenai Spur Hwy.
Kenai, AK 99611
Submitted by: Integrity Surveys, Inc.
820 Set Net Dr.
Kenai, AK 99611
Requested Action: Original Preliminary Subdivision Plat – Carl F. Ahlstrom
Subdivision RPM’s Replat
Existing Legal
Description: Lots 22, 23, and 24, Block 13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision,
Plat No. K-216, excluding the State Highway Right-of-Way
Proposed Legal
Description: Lot 22A, Block 13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision RPM’s
Replat
Street Address: 14096 Kenai Spur Hwy.
KPB Parcel No.: 03908104
Existing Zoning: General Commercial (CG)
Current Land Use: Machine Shop
Land Use Plan: General Commercial
ANALYSIS
The subject plat vacates the property lines between Lots 22, 23, and 24, Block
13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision. The lot line vacation will result in the proposed
Lot 22A, Block 13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision RPM’s Replat, containing
approximately .630 acres. Access to the proposed lot is provided by two
driveways off the Kenai Spur Highway, which is a State maintained paved road.
An additional driveway exists on Wildwood Road, which is a City maintained
paved road. The subject lots are connected to City water and sewer services. An
installation agreement is not required.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough assesses these three lots as one parcel because
the lots are in common ownership; however, the lot lines have never been
vacated and they are, in fact, three separate lots. In the fall of 2015, the property
owner built a small addition to the rear of the building.
Page 5 of 37
At that time the property owner was advised that the City would not issue
another building permit until such time as the lot lines were vacated.
The building located on the property is considered a non-conforming structure
because it crosses property lines. This replat will resolve the issue of the building
crossing property lines. It also appears that the canopy on the front of the
building encroaches into the front setback and right-of-way for the Kenai Spur
Highway. An as-built survey would need to be done in order to determine how far
the canopy encroaches into the right-of-way for the Kenai Spur Highway.
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 owner’s name and address should be corrected in the title block.
c. The word “aread” under the Legend section of the plat should be
corrected to read “area”.
