GENERAL INFORMATION
The applicant, Tyler Scott Osland, owner of Lots 15 and 16, Block 11, Valhalla Heights
Subdivision Part 4 has submitted a plat that would vacate the property lines between the two lots
to create one larger lot.
Tyler Scott Osland would own the lot proposed to be Lot 15A, Block 11, Valhalla Heights Osland
Replat as shown on the preliminary plat. The new Lot 15A would encompass 1.167 acres
(approximately 50,835 square feet) and meets requirements of the Rural Residential (RR) zone.
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
KMC 14.10.010 General under Chapter 14 .10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or
replats must first be submitted to the City for review prior to the submittal of the plat to the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Planning Department. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.060 describes the
process in more detail. The plat will be reviewed first by the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning
Commission and then by the Kenai Peninsula Borough 's Plat Committee and Planning
Commission .
The property owners completed the City of Kenai preliminary plat submittal form. City staff
deemed the application to be complete . The City of Kenai follows Kenai Peninsula Borough Code
20. 25. 070 and 20. 25. 080 for preliminary plat submittal requirements .
City staff published notice of the consideration of the plat as part of the agenda for the City of
Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission in the Peninsula Clarion . No public comments have been
received as of October 25, 2019.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed Lot 15A, Block 11 is via Phillips Drive, a gravel road maintained by the
City of Kenai. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of-way. Street names are
denoted accurately on the preliminary plat.
The City of Kenai does not have water and sewer lines within the Valhalla Heights Subdivision .
The applicant will need to install a private well and wastewater treatment and disposal system ,
pursuant to the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation regulations.
An existing ten foot ( 10 ') utility easement runs along the east boundary of the proposed Lot 15A,
Block 11 . The proposed plat will dedicate an additional ten foot (10 ') utility easement along the
south and west boundaries of the proposed lot. The utility easement will allow for orderly
development of the new parcel.
Based upon the submitted materials and this review, the preliminary plat meets requirements of
KMC Subdivision design standards and KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under
Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations. City staff recommends a condition of approval for the
property to conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local regulations. A second
recommendation for approval of the plat is to remove the building setback requirements. Building
setbacks are set forth in the City of Kenai zoning regulations as described under Note #2 on the
preliminary plat. City of Kenai zoning regulations could change in the future and then the building
PZ2019-40 Staff Report Page 3
setback would become inaccurate on the plat.
RECOMMENDATIONS

subject to the following conditions :
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. Remove Note #4 on the plat covering building setbacks as it is covered under Note #2
referencing City of Kenai zoning regulations.
3 . Remove the depiction of the building setback line from the plat as the building setback is
a City of Kenai zoning regulation that could be amended with a Code change .
