GENERAL INFORMATION
McLane Consulting Inc. has submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of Carroll E. Ambrose,
personal representative for the property owner, Estate of Donald Fredrickson, deceased. The
plat affects the parcels described as That Portion of the NE1/4 SW1/4, Section 4, Township 5
North, Range 11 West, lying Southwesterly of Bridge Access Road; and Government Lot 8,
Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 11 West, excluding Bridge Access Road. The preliminary
plat shows that the owner is subdividing those two larger parcels into three smaller lots to be
described as Lots 1, 2, and 3, Kristine Subdivision No. 1.
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 April 3, 2020.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed lots is via Bridge Access Road, which is paved and maintained by the
State of Alaska. The proposed plat dedicates a right-of-way along the eastern 30-feet of Lot 3,
Kristine Subdivision No. 1 for Childs Avenue. The right-of-way for Childs Avenue is 60 feet in
total width. The eastern 30-feet of the right-of-way was dedicated by the plat of Baron Wood
Subdivision, recorded under Plat Number 84-191. The name of Childs Street should be
changed to Childs Avenue on the plat to accurately reflect the street name.
City of Kenai water and sewer lines are within the right-of-way of Bridge Access Road. The
existing facilities located on the property are not connected to City water and sewer services. An
installation agreement is not required.
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 and for Childs Street to
be renamed to Childs Avenue on the plat.

RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Bridge Road Subdivision 2019 Replat,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. Childs Street is incorrectly referenced on the plat and should be changed to Childs
Avenue.

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 surveyor completed the plat submittal form on behalf of the property owners. 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 April 3, 2020.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed lots is via North Willow Street and Granite Point Street, which are paved
and maintained by the City of Kenai. The proposed plat keeps the existing 20-foot utility
easement that currently runs through the middle of Tract A and dedicates an additional 5-feet to
the utility easement to bring it up to the new proposed property line between new Tracts A1 and
A2. The 10-foot utility easement along North Willow Street remains on the new plat. The street
names are accurate on the plat.
City of Kenai water and sewer lines are within the right-of-ways of North Willow Street and
Granit Point Street. An installation agreement is not required, but the lessee must follow City
Code for connecting to City water and sewer once a hangar is constructed on the premises.
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Bridge Road Subdivision 2019 Replat,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
