Resolution No. 2020 -53 -Renaming of Pelchy Drive to Pelch Drive
Michael J . Pelch owns parcels 04949051 and 04949052 described as Lots 2 and 3 , Michael J.
Pelch Homestead Jr. Addition No. 3 that border Pelchy Drive. Mr. Pelch has requested Pelchy
Drive be renamed to Pelch Drive. Pelchy Drive is accessed from Beaver Loop Road. The plat for
Michael J. Pelch Homestead Jr. Addition No. 3 was recorded on November 13, 2019 under plat
no . 2019-48. This plat dedicated the right-of-way for Pelchy Drive. There is some evidence in City
records that earlier versions of the plat had the street name as Pelch Drive before the final plat
had the name as Pelchy Drive. Mr. Pelch noted that there is not yet a street sign up on this road.
Kenai Municipal Code 14.5.140, Renaming streets states that City Council may by resolution
change or rename a street upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and
after consultation with the Kenai Peninsula Borough. In email corresponden ce , the Kenai
Peninsula Borough stated they have no objection to changing this street name from Pe lc hy to
Pelch as long as the street suffix of Drive was retained to be consistent with Borough Code for
street names. The Borough did not identify an issue with the street name change for 911
navigation. The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
street name change with Resolution No . PZ2020-17 .
Resolution No . 2020-17 would rename Pelchy Drive to Pelch Drive. Thank you for your
consideration.
