Requested Action: Application for a Conditional Use Permit to redevelop the
existing boat launch located at Eagle Rock to be more user
friendly and protect valuable natural features.
Redevelopment is proposed to include: Resurfacing the
Entrance Road; Installation of Traffic Flow Devices;
Construction of a Camp Host Site, Replacement of the
Existing Boat Ramp and Installation of New Elevated
Walkways; Development also includes Installation of Bank
Erosion Control Measures and User Interpretative
Features.
Legal Description: Tract A, Poore Subdivision, Section 6, T5N, R10W
Street Address: 4306 Eagle Rock Drive
KPB Parcel No.: 049-060-88
Existing Zoning: RR – Rural Residential
Current Land Use: Boat Launch and Parking
Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential
ANALYSIS
General Information:
The applicant requests to construct improvements to the existing boat launch and
parking facility located at Eagle Rock Boat Launch Facility (Facility). The subject parcel
was acquired by the applicants in January of 2014 from private landowners and has
historically been used as a seasonal boat launch.
Page 11 of 61
PZ17‐25 Staff Report
Page 2
Pursuant to the submitted application, the applicant has indicated that the subject
Facility does not meet Alaska State Parks access and safety standards. The applicant
proposes to redevelop the existing boat launch to be more user friendly and protect
valuable natural features. Improvements are proposed to include; Resurfacing the
Entrance Road; Installation of Traffic Flow Devices; Construction of a Camp Host Site,
Replacement of the Existing Boat Ramp and Installation of New Elevated Walkways;
Development also includes Installation of Bank Erosion Control Measures and User
Interpretative Features.
KMC 14.20.150(d) details the intent and application process for conditional uses. The
code also specifies the review criteria that must be satisfied prior to issue the permit.
The criteria are:
(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and intent of
the zoning district;
The subject parcel is zoned Rural Residential (RR), and is therefore subject to the
Principal Permitted and Conditional land-uses as shown on KMC 14.22.010 - Land
Use Table. The subject Facility was constructed by the previous private landowners
and was installed prior to the adoption of Kenai Municipal Code; therefore, the
subject existing Facility is considered a Nonconforming Use of Land as discussed
under KMC 14.20.050(f). Thus, before the subject Facility can be enlarged it
requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit as a Commercial Recreation
Facility. KMC 14.20.320 defines Commercial Recreation as “a recreation facility
operated as a business and open to the public for a fee”.
The subject parcel is zoned RR which is defined as: “The RR Zone is intended to
provide for low density residential development in outlying rural areas in a form which
creates a stable and attractive residential environment, to separate residential
structures to and extent which will, preserve the rural, open quality of the
environment, prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer.
Uses which would violate the residential character of the environment or generate
heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas should be prohibited.”
The subject parcel is approximately 54.55-acres that has a history as a commercial
boat launch and parking area for the Kenai River. The subject parcel is accessed via
Eagle Rock Drive, west of the Kenai Spur Highway. Eagle Rock Drive is located
west of Ross Street and is a paved local street, which is maintained by the City of
Kenai. Use of the subject parcel would be restricted to those individuals who pay to
park and use the Facility.
The subject project would construction or replacement of the following:
1. Resurfacing and reconstruction of the Entrance Road.
2. Installation of Traffic Flow Devices.
3. Construction of a Camp Host Site.
4. Replacement of the existing 24-foot by 50-foot boat ramp with a 32-foot by 104-
foot boat ramp and installation of a 6-foot by 100-foot American with Disabilities
Act (ADA) compliant boat ramp.
Page 12 of 61
PZ17‐25 Staff Report
Page 3
5. Excavation of the bank above the Mean High Tide Line around the boat ramp to
accommodate boat access. Approximately 3700 square feet of bank will be
excavated, including the boat ramp itself and three areas in the vicinity of the
ramp. Approximately 320 square feet will be excavated adjacent to the ramp to
accommodate ADA access. An area of approximately 170 square feet will be
excavated on the west side of the ramp to accommodate the floating dock.
Approximately 510 square feet is proposed to be excavated from the bank south
of the boat ramp to accommodate improved boater access.
6. Installation of a 4-foot by 25-foot concrete block retaining wall alongside the boat
ramp to prevent bank erosion.
7. Installation of a 600-square-foot concrete sidewalk interpretive area, 10-foot by
14.5-foot orientation kiosk and 4-foot by 6-foot Kids Don’t Float kiosk.
8. Installation of a 12.5-foot long by 6-foot wide by 1-foot tall concrete abutment to
act as a transition ramp and a 141-foot long stub wall in front of the interpretive
area.
9. Installation of a new freestanding light pole and seven signs, including four
interpretive signs.
10. Installation of additional parking bumpers and expansion of the parking lot by
1,450 square feet into an already disturbed area.
11. Installation of a curb and gutter area. A curb drain with 18 inches of drain rock
will be installed at the outlet.
12. Installation of 78 linear feet of ADA compliant, Elevated 40% Light Penetrating
(ELP) walkway leading to a floating dock. This includes 6 feet by 40 feet of ELP
walkway perpendicular to the river, 6 feet by 20 feet of ELP walkway parallel to
the river, and 3 feet by 18 feet of gangway connecting the walkway to the floating
dock.
Therefore, given the above discussion within the context of the proposed land-use
project, it seems reasonable the proposed Facility improvements would be consistent
with the intent of KMC 14.20.150 and the intent of the Rural Residential Zoning
District with respect to the proposed use, given compliance with staff recommended
specific conditions.
(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly
impaired;
The subject parcel has been used as a private boat launching and parking facility
historically when it was owned by the previous private property owners. The
proposed redevelopment of the existing Facility will help to mitigate impacts to the
surrounding property owners with regards to parking and access to the Facility.
Therefore, provided that all conditions recommended by staff and the Planning and
Zoning Commission are followed, staff believes that the value of the adjoining
property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
Page 13 of 61
PZ17‐25 Staff Report
Page 4
(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
The subject parcel is defined in the 2030 Imagine Kenai Comprehensive Plan as Low
Density Residential (LDR). The plan defines LDR as “Low Density Residential
because of poor site conditions is intended for large-lot single-family residential
development. The area will typically be developed with individual on-site water
supply and wastewater disposal systems.
Streets will typically be constructed to rural street standards (i.e., gravel) and
sidewalks will not be typically included in the subdivision design. Rural Residential
becomes Low Density Residential to avoid confusion with zoning category.”
Goal 3 – Land Use of the 2030 Imagine Kenai Comprehensive Plan seeks to discuss
land use strategies to implement a forward-looking approach to community growth
and development. Objective LU-1 states “Establish siting and design standards so
that development is in harmony and scale with surrounding uses.”
The subject parcel has historically been a boat launch facility, which consists of a
gravel parking area with launching facility. The proposed redevelopment of the
Facility as proposed by Alaska State Parks would still be operated as a public boat
launching facility. The Facility as it has been designed by the applicant would not be
enlarged into the surrounding wetlands nor expanded beyond the ordinary high
water mark on the Kenai River.
Therefore, as proposed, the developed would be in harmony with the 2030 Imagine
Kenai Comprehensive Plan.
(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the propose use;
The subject parcel is served by an onsite water well and septic disposal system. City
of Kenai police and fire department resources are sufficient to serve the proposed
use.
(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health, or welfare;
The proposed project would enhance the public use of the subject Facility. It will
increase safety to the site by providing better parking, with delineated parking spaces
for vehicles and trailers. The proposed project will consist of the creation of 44 off-
street parking spaces on a paved surface. Whereas, the existing Facility currently
has an estimated 57 off-street parking spaces on a gravel surface. While the
proposed project does reduce the number of parking spaces, which currently exist,
the proposed project will provide for better management of parking. The applicant
has indicated that they will have an on-site camp host, which will provide monitoring
of the parking areas.
The proposed project also includes work within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District
of the Kenai River as established by Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 21.18.081(B)(4)
and 21.18.091. The Kenai Peninsula Borough River Center is processing a
Conditional Use Permit for this work. Staff therefore recommends adding a condition
to require that the applicant comply with all Conditions of Approval, as the Kenai
Peninsula Borough requires them.
Page 14 of 61
PZ17‐25 Staff Report
Page 5
Therefore, giving the above discussion and proposed conditions of approval, staff
believes that the proposed redevelopment of the existing boat launch facility at Eagle
Rock, would not have a harmful impact to the public safety, health or welfare,
provided that all conditions recommended by staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission are followed.
(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the
above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may include, but
are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building
design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed use.
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State, and local
regulations, including those conditions required by the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
2. Prior to construction or redevelopment, the applicant shall obtain all required
Building Permits.
3. The applicant shall minimize damage to all vegetation and shall revegetate all
disturbed areas with native vegetation.
4. Construction techniques and best management practices shall be utilized to
ensure that land disturbing activities do not result in water runoff or sedimentation
to the Kenai River.
5. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code Section 14.20.150(f), the applicant shall
submit an Annual Report to the City of Kenai.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the application and a review of the criteria required to approve the permit, it is
the recommendation of staff that the proposed Conditional Use Permit to redevelop the
existing boat launch located at Eagle Rock to be more user friendly and protect valuable
natural features be approved, subject to the following conditions:
The issuance of the Conditional Use Permit shall be conditioned upon the following:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State, and local

Resolution No. PZ17-21 Conditional Use Permit
Page | 2
before the subject Facility can be enlarged it requires the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit as a Commercial Recreation Facility. KMC 14.20.320 defines Commercial
Recreation as “a recreation facility operated as a business and open to the public for a fee”.
The subject parcel is zoned RR which is defined as: “The RR Zone is intended to provide
for low density residential development in outlying rural areas in a form which creates a
stable and attractive residential environment, to separate residential structures to and
extent which will, preserve the rural, open quality of the environment, prevent health
hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer. Uses which would violate the
residential character of the environment or generate heavy traffic in predominantly
residential areas should be prohibited.”
The subject parcel is approximately 54.55-acres that has a history as a commercial boat
launch and parking area for the Kenai River. The subject parcel is accessed via Eagle Rock
Drive, west of the Kenai Spur Highway. Eagle Rock Drive is located west of Ross Street
and is a paved local street, which is maintained by the City of Kenai. Use of the subject
parcel would be restricted to those individuals who pay to park and use the Facility.
The subject project would construction or replacement of the following:
1. Resurfacing and reconstruction of the Entrance Road.
2. Installation of Traffic Flow Devices.
3. Construction of a Camp Host Site.
4. Replacement of the existing 24-foot by 50-foot boat ramp with a 32-foot by 104-foot boat
ramp and installation of a 6-foot by 100-foot American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
compliant boat ramp.
5. Excavation of the bank above the Mean High Tide Line around the boat ramp to
accommodate boat access. Approximately 3700 square feet of bank will be excavated,
including the boat ramp itself and three areas in the vicinity of the ramp. Approximately
320 square feet will be excavated adjacent to the ramp to accommodate ADA access.
An area of approximately 170 square feet will be excavated on the west side of the ramp
to accommodate the floating dock. Approximately 510 square feet is proposed to be
excavated from the bank south of the boat ramp to accommodate improved boater
access.
6. Installation of a 4-foot by 25-foot concrete block retaining wall alongside the boat ramp to
prevent bank erosion.
7. Installation of a 600-square-foot concrete sidewalk interpretive area, 10-foot by 14.5-foot
orientation kiosk and 4-foot by 6-foot Kids Don’t Float kiosk.
8. Installation of a 12.5-foot long by 6-foot wide by 1-foot tall concrete abutment to act as a
transition ramp and a 141-foot long stub wall in front of the interpretive area.
9. Installation of a new freestanding light pole and seven signs, including four interpretive
signs.

10. Installation of additional parking bumpers and expansion of the parking lot by 1,450
square feet into an already disturbed area.
11. Installation of curb and gutter area. A curb drain with 18 inches of drain rock will be
installed at the outlet.
12. Installation of 78 liner feet of ADA compliant, Elevated 40% Light Penetrating (ELP)
walkway leading to floating dock. This includes 6 feet by 40 feet of ELP walkway
perpendicular to the river, 6 feet by 20 feet of ELP walkway parallel to the river, and 3
feet by 18 feet of gangway connecting the walkway to the floating dock.
Therefore, given the above discussion within the context of the proposed land-use project, it
seems reasonable the proposed Facility improvements would be consistent with the intent of
KMC 14.20.150 and the intent of the Rural Residential Zoning District with respect to the
proposed use, given compliance with staff recommended specific conditions.
(2) The value of the adjoining property and neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
The subject parcel has been used as a private boat launching and parking facility historically
when it was owned by the previous private property owners. The proposed redevelopment
of the existing Facility will help to mitigate impacts to the surrounding property owners with
regards to parking and access to the Facility.
Therefore, provided that all conditions recommended by staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission are followed, staff believes that the value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
The subject parcel is defined in the 2030 Imagine Kenai Comprehensive Plan as Low
Density Residential (LDR). The plan defines LDR as “Low Density Residential because of
poor site conditions is intended for large-lot single-family residential development. The area
will typically be developed with individual on-site water supply and wastewater disposal
systems.
Streets will typically be constructed to rural street standards (i.e., gravel) and sidewalks will
not be typically included in the subdivision design. Rural Residential becomes Low Density
Residential to avoid confusion with zoning category.”
Goal 3 – Land Use of the 2030 Imagine Kenai Comprehensive Plan seeks to discuss land
use strategies to implement a forward-looking approach to community growth and
development. Objective LU-1 states “Establish siting and design standards so that
development is in harmony and scale with surrounding uses.”
The subject parcel has historically been a boat launch facility, which consists of a gravel
parking area with launching facility. The proposed redevelopment of the Facility as proposed
by Alaska State Parks would still be operated as a public boat launching facility. The Facility
as it has been designed by the applicant would not be enlarged into the surrounding
wetlands nor expanded beyond the ordinary high water mark on the Kenai River.

Resolution No. PZ17-21 Conditional Use Permit
Page | 4
(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
The subject parcel is served by an onsite water well and septic disposal system. City of
Kenai police and fire department resources are sufficient to serve the proposed use.
(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
The proposed project would enhance the public use of the subject Facility. It will increase
safety to the site by providing better parking, with delineated parking spaces for vehicles
and trailers. The proposed project will consist of the creation of 44 off-street parking
spaces on a paved surface. Whereas, the existing Facility currently has an estimated 57
off-street parking spaces on a gravel surface. While the proposed project does reduce the
number of parking spaces, which currently exist, the proposed project will provide for better
management of parking. The applicant has indicated that they will have an on-site camp
host, which will provide monitoring of the parking areas.
The proposed project also includes work within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District of the
Kenai River as established by Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 21.18.081(B)(4) and
21.18.091. The Kenai Peninsula Borough River Center is processing a Conditional Use
Permit for this work. Staff therefore recommends adding a condition to require that the
applicant comply with all Conditions of Approval, as the Kenai Peninsula Borough requires
them.
Therefore, giving the above discussion and proposed conditions of approval, staff believes
that the proposed redevelopment of the existing boat launch facility at Eagle Rock, would
not have a harmful impact to the public safety, health or welfare, provided that all
conditions recommended by staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission are followed.
WHEREAS, any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning
Commission to fulfill the conditions as set forth below shall be met by the applicant. These
may include, but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site
development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the
proposed use, as follows:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State, and local
regulations, including those conditions required by the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
2. Prior to construction or redevelopment, the applicant shall obtain all required Building
Permits.
3. The applicant shall minimize damage to all vegetation and shall revegetate all disturbed
areas with native vegetation.
4. Construction techniques and best management practices shall be utilized to ensure that
land disturbing activities do not result in water runoff or sedimentation to the Kenai River.
5. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code Section 14.20.150(f), the applicant shall submit an
Annual Report to the City of Kenai.
