The preliminary plat shows that the owner is subdividing an approximately 6.566 acre parcel (Tract 2) into two smaller parcels to be described as Tract 2A and 2B, Holland Spur Highway Subdivision 2020 Addition.

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.

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. 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 June 5, 2020. ANALYSIS The proposed tracts are adjacent to the right-of-way for the Kenai Spur Highway, which is a paved road maintained by the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation. Plat note number seven (7) on the proposed plat provides that “no private access to State maintained rights-of-way permitted unless approved by the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation.” It is the responsibility of the property owner to obtain the appropriate permit from the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation to access the tracts from the Kenai Spur Highway. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of-way. A gravel pad is shown on the plat that is not on the aerial imagery. The applicant acknowledged that a building may not be constructed over the new property line and must meet setback requirements in Kenai Municipal Zoning Code. The applicant has requested the City rezone this parcel (existing Tract 2 and proposed Tract 2A and 2B) from Rural Residential (RR) to General Commercial (CG). Plat note three (3) states development must meet requirements in Kenai Municipal Zoning Code. City of Kenai water and sewer lines are not available to the proposed subdivision. The property owner must install private wells and septic systems approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. An installation agreement is not required. Plat note number ten (10) on the proposed plat addresses wastewater disposal on the property. The note provides that the soil conditions, water table levels, and soil slopes in this subdivision have been found suitable for conventional onsite wastewater systems serving single-family or duplex residences. Any other type of onsite wastewater treatment and disposal system must be designed by a professional Page 3 of 3 engineer, and the design must be approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. A fifteen-foot (15’) easement for utilities is located along the property lines adjacent to the right- of-way for the Kenai Spur Highway. A section line easement is located along the eastern edge of Tract 2B and Plat note eight (8) references a Homer Electric Association easement. Plat Note six (6) indicates that portions of this subdivision are within the Kenai Peninsula 50-foot Anadromous Street Habitat Protection Area are subject to Chapter 21.18 Borough Code of Ordinances for restrictions that affect development of this subdivision. An anadromous stream passes through the eastern edge of Tract 2B and is identified in the Alaska Department of Fish & Game Anadromous Waters Catalog. Areas of inundation are shown for Tract 2B on the plat. Extraneous text should be deleted from this plat note that was inadvertently copied from plat note four (4). Staff recommends adding “as may be amended” to the Borough Code reference in plat note six (6) to match another recently approved plat within the City of Kenai referencing the same Borough Code. 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 conditions of approval for the property to conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local regulations and for plat note six (6) to be amended to delete extraneous text and to note the Borough Code referenced may be amended.
