Resolution 2018-60-Consenting to the Vacation of a Section Line
Easement
The preliminary plat of Cook Inlet Shore -2017 Addition and Section Line Easement Vacation
vacates a thirty-three foot (33') section line easement lying between Sections Seven (7) and
Eighteen (18), Township Five (5) North, Range Eleven (11) West. The section line easement is
located along the southern boundary of the property described as Lot Two (2), Waterfront
Estates . The total width of the section line easement vacation is sixty-six feet, with the northern
33 feet being within the City of Kenai and the southern 33 feet being within the Kalifornsky a rea
of the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
Vacation of the section line easement would remove public access to the beach by continuing
straight on Old Cannery Road. Access to the public beach via the section line easement
continuing on Old Cannery Road is problematic because vehicles often get stuck and require
assistance to be removed and it causes trespass issues with adjacent privately-owned parcels.
The road within the section line easement is not maintained by the City of Kenai or the Kenai
Peninsula Borough. Royal Street and Dunes Road provide superior access to the public beach .
Royal Street is approximately 400 feet to the north of the section line easement and contains a
turnaround , flat access with gravel to the beach , and is without visual obstructions . The Royal
Street right-of-way e xpands from 60 feet to 85 feet just before reach ing the public beach. During
dipnetting season, there are portable bathrooms , waste removal , and fee shacks at the Royal
Street beach access. Dunes Road is approx imately 1,300 feet south of the section line easement
proposed to be vacated and has a small parking lot. The City of Kena i maintains Old Cannery
Road and the portion of Royal Street that heads north to the public beach . The Kenai Peninsula
Boroug h maintains Dunes Road . Access to parcels adjacent to the vacated section line
easement would not be impacted .

Resolution 2018-60
The preliminary plat was submitted to the City of Kenai in August 2017 by Integrity Surveys ,
Incorporated. It was approved by the City of Kena i Planning & Zoning Commission on August
23, 2017 with Reso lution PZ17-28 . On October 8, 2018, the Kenai Pen insula Borough Planning
Commission approved the plat and on October 22, 2018 the Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat
Committee approved the plat. The approvals were made with an exception to the block length
requirement. The two blocks affected by the platting action are both longer than allowed , but the
Borough agreed to the exception request for longer block lengths. In addition, the Borough stated
a condition of approval would be to grant utility easements as requested by utility providers,
including a request for an easement centered on their existing facilities from Alaska
Communications (ACS). The section line easement vacation must also be approved by the State
of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The State has expressed verbal support, but not
yet issued a written preliminary finding. The State assigned EV-3-278 to this section line
easement vacation plat. The Borough normally limits vacation approval to one year from the
request , but grants a four-year approval time period for any plat requiring approval from the State
of Alaska .

• Map with 2016 imagery after Royal Street construction/improvements
